Chapter 1915 Attempted Bio-engineering
A flood of information flushed through Rui's mind. Unfortunately, it became evidently clear that the catoblepas had already begun subconsciously erasing their memories entirely. Maybe they still remained untouched in a deeper part of the consciousness, but Rui had no idea how to access them.
After all, he was not a dedicated neurologist. His partial expertise in this field was limited to the foundation, which he needed to conduct more sophisticated research before he could apply
it to combat science.
A litany of broken memories in the form of shattered visions flashed through his mind as he collectively read through the minds of the catoblepas.
He came across even more interesting memories.
The Divine Doctor stood before a lush tree, studying it with an intrigued gaze. His eyes were fixed on the light distortion caused by the vegetation, leading to broken and mixed fragmented visions of the physical world around them.
A whisper escaped him as his eyes lit up with curiosity
"Interesting."
The memory cracked as Rui immediately jumped to another memory
FSSSSS!
The Divine Doctor flushed the catoblepas with another gas from one of his canisters, one that was different from the fear-hallucinogen that he had previously used. The catoblepas didn't physically move or react to it, yet they undoubtedly went through profound mental changes.
Changes that Rui recognized.
'That's a trance!' Rui exclaimed inwardly. 'It's a chemical-induced trance.'
It was definitely different from Martial hypnosis or even ordinary hypnosis. The Divine Doctor had no qualms with drugging the brain with some substance that could diminish the conscious mind or increase the prominence of the subconscious mind to put the animals in a trance-like state.
"This worl-"
"-issing stars-"
"-ble to locate the see-"
Unfortunately, he wasn't able to extract anything meaningful from those snippets of words. They were cut off or distorted beyond comprehension, reducing them to pure noise. The more time passed in their memories of the presence of the Divine Doctor in the region, the more it all began to become increasingly indistinguishable.
This was especially the case considering that their minds had been deeply afflicted with the psychological effects of being subjected to the many mind-impacting drugs that the Divine Doctor had been feeding them.
If not for the fact that their bodies and physiologies were innately within the Apprentice Realm, making them quite tough and able to withstand things that would kill the average man, physically or mentally, there would be no catoblepas for Rui to experiment on
"Woah..." Rui's eyes widened as the details of the memories began shifting to reveal a new garb underneath the Divine Doctor's coat.
The garb was made out of the leaves of the vegetation native to the Valley of Prisms.
What surprised him was that the plants were not stripped and dried to be used as fiber for the cloth.
No.
They were still alive!
Somehow, the Divine Doctor kept them alive despite having plucked them from their trees and stems.
Yet that wasn't the most surprising thing of all.
He sprayed a strange gas on the cloth made of living vegetation, causing him to become completely invisible!
