Chapter 37 36. Aphansia

"Mr. Fisher, welcome."

It turns out that Philon's laboratory is not in his mansion, but in the courtyard outside the mansion. There is a not-so-wide room with the label "Philon's Laboratory" specially written on the door.

By the time Fisher was taken over by the maid, Philon had also taken off his suit jacket, revealing the leather straps covering his body, which were used to secure his prosthetic hand and gas mask. If it weren't for the scary-looking gas mask on his face, he would be an elegant Nari gentleman.

Even after a period of tidying up, the room still looks a bit messy. There are many large steam machinery placed on the experimental bench like a workshop at the back. In front of the workshop are two huge bookshelves filled with books.

Fisher scanned the books above and saw with sharp eyes a book he had published before, called "Good and Evil: A First Look at Ethics."

"Ah, Mr. Fisher's book made me study for a long time, especially its views and interpretation of classical utilitarianism."

Philon noticed Fisher's gaze, then took down the plain dark red book, and said with some emotion, "Who would have thought that the author of this wise book was still a student of the Royal Academy at that time? ."

"It quotes the thinking of many teachers, I just connected them together."

Fisher scanned the book covered with many notes and knew that Philon had read his own work many times.

Mainly because at that time, many scholars had already discussed ethics, represented by many professors in the Royal Academy. But there was no book that could synthesize their views and discussions, so Fisher spent a semester taking all the classes taught by social science professors, summarizing his notes, and wrote this introductory introduction to ethics.

Although those professors were very happy that the views they represented were compiled into a volume, they still couldn't help but stare when they saw Fisher's "author's comments" criticizing their views at the end of the volume.

That's a bunch of lovely old guys.

"Haha, Mr. Fisher is being humble. I would like to talk to you more about ethics later, but now, let's talk about the diseases we mentioned before. Compared with blue mania, I still prefer to call this disease 'Asoria'."

"Aphansia?"

Fisher took a chair and sat down at his desk. He looked at Philon and saw that he pulled out a small pile of manuscripts from under the desk lamp. Fisher saw the human body he had drawn with pencil on it. Structure diagram.

"How much does Mr. Fisher already know about the patient's condition?"

"After the onset of the disease, the blood turns blue, and they are basically unconscious. They tend to attack living things. No, they should be living people. Also, the magic circuits in their bodies have completely disappeared."

Philon nodded and handed the manuscript to Fisher. It densely recorded the conditions of many experimental cases. The conclusions reached were probably similar to Fisher's. However, Philon also investigated a lot of information about the patients before they became ill. itinerary.

"You call these patients aphanos. Do you believe in the theory that magic comes from the soul?"

"It's not a belief, Mr. Fisher. This is a fact. There has always been a theory of souls in the Southern Continent. At first, I thought that the souls they believed in were just like illusory spirits created by magic in the circus, but a previous exploration Let me see the fact that the soul exists.”

Philon raised a finger and continued,

"When I first landed on the Southern Continent, I was just an external scholar accompanying me. I accidentally got separated from my team and got lost in the wilderness. The wilderness was very cold at night, and just when I was about to freeze to death, Several shining shadows of demi-humans suddenly appeared in the sky. They seemed to be talking, but I couldn't hear clearly. I thought it was an illusion of dying, so I followed the direction of their fingers, and it turned out that I was actually on the river. Bian found the lost team."

Fisher tapped his fingers on the table, thinking about Philon's words.

"The most important thing is that I witnessed those souls carving magic with my own eyes later."

"Carving magic?"

"Yes, they inscribed magic to keep the demi-humans foraging in the wild so that they would not freeze to death. They have magic circuits that can release the inscribed magic, but the magic circuits of those patients have completely disappeared because of the loss of their souls. Take away their magic circuits.”

Fisher's expression changed. All current magic theories indicate that the source of a creature's ability to engrave magic is its own magic circuit. Many scholars also believe that the magic circuit exists in the body, but it cannot be observed temporarily.

But if according to Philon's words, the soul can use magic, it means that the magic circuit does not exist in the body, but in the soul.

Then this can also explain why the magic circuits in those patients will completely disappear. The real pathogenesis of the disease lies not in the magic circuits but in the soul. The disappearance of the magic circuits is only a symptom of the disappearance of the soul.

As the conversation with Philon deepened, Fisher gradually understood the soul theory he had researched. In the face of his many years of experimental data and evidence, Fisher could hardly find any point that could refute him.

"If the cause of this disease is the disappearance of the soul, then what exactly causes their soul to disappear?"

Philon held out a finger and explained,

"It's a desperate look. Before each patient develops the disease, they have experienced a huge hardship in life."

"La Baschere, her property was stolen by robbers, and her daughter was killed by a female gangster."

"Jack, his wife cheated on him, and his mistress took away all his property"

"."

Philon read out the experiences of each case, and then said, "It seems that they have no intersection, and according to traditional pathology, it is impossible for them to come into contact with any suspicious items..."

Fisher suddenly thought of the group of humans he met in Corili's cave before. The maid in their family also fell ill. According to the other party, her only daughter died in Nali's textile factory before she fell ill.

I see

Fisher's eyes flickered, and then he followed Philon's words,

“The reason why souls disappear is because the despair generated by the brain breeds unstable conditions, and then some external force can take advantage of them and take away their souls.”

"Yes, that's exactly what I guessed."

"So, there are three questions now. How was the soul taken away, who was the subject who took the soul, and what is the purpose of taking the soul?"

Fisher looked at the pathology on it carefully. Although he had a guess, he felt more and more ridiculous. Judging from the current inference, this is not like a disease, but more like a deliberate act by people.

If it is an intelligent subject, then there are probably only two types: humans and demi-humans. However, the human academic community does not even affirm the existence of souls. Where can we find the means to take away their souls? Judging from the current primitive level of demi-humans, it is even more impossible to be demi-humans.

And judging from the cases of Philon and Kerken, many cases occurred at the same time and were thousands of kilometers apart.

Who can have such a mighty power to commit crimes across thousands of miles, it is estimated that the three countries of the Western Continent will be destroyed by him.

"Ever since humans entered the southern continent in large numbers, I haven't seen those demi-human souls in the wilderness that guide people's paths for a long time."

Philon's gas mask spurted out some steam, and he leaned on the chair, and then sighed,

"Who could take so many souls from multiple places at the same time?"

Fisher was slightly startled after hearing Philon's words, and then raised his eyes to glance at him, but could not see his eyes clearly because of the reflection of the lamp's light on his frame.

Why does he only pay attention to who he is and not care about other issues?

Please read and vote, thank you all.
