Chapter 1302 Meaningful Sacrifice Breakthrough Progress
Soon, the experiment entered the stage of medium-dose negative energy radiation.

"At 0:12:02, the soul-related nodes continued to move slightly, and the soul was slightly polluted. It has been recorded!"

"At 0:13:25, the internal organs related nodes continued to move slightly, blood and flesh atrophy, organ failure, recorded!"

……

"0:14:01, vital signs are weak, but conscious, recorded!"

……

The medium dose of negative energy radiation lasted only 4 minutes. Matt, who was in the protective circle, changed completely. His hair fell out, his dry skin clinged to his bones, and his flesh and blood seemed to disappear.

This level of negative energy invasion, in addition to the specially protected soul, the damage suffered by the body is already close to the elf's [negative energy erosion] spell.

In other words, Matt at this moment, except for his soul, which can barely be maintained, is almost a dead person.

And if there is no special protection for the soul in the laboratory, then he is almost hopeless, even if he dies, he cannot be resurrected.

"Judge Matt, has your perception of the magic net changed?"

"No, go ahead." Matt replied very curtly.

The voice was hoarse and gloomy, as if it had penetrated from hell, which made people feel chills down the spine. Everyone present, including Xia Duo, frowned deeply when they heard Matt's answer.

Obviously, the medium dose of negative energy radiation failed to achieve the goal.

Should I increase the dose then?

Xia Duo hesitated. In fact, with his current control over negative energy, even with a moderate dose of negative energy radiation, he can guarantee that when it irradiates the human body, it will not cause major damage to the human body.

But the problem is, he can't determine whether the reduction in spellcasting level is related to physical damage, or not.

Only relatively comprehensive negative energy intrusion damage can be used. As long as it can be determined that the dose of negative energy radiation has an effect on sensing the magic net, by analyzing the changes in the nodes linking the human body and the magic net, the range of negative energy radiation in subsequent experiments can be narrowed .

Going forward step by step, you can finally determine which kind of negative energy radiation is specifically aimed at the perception of the magic net.

It can be said that the early experimenters are almost certain to die.

Because when it comes to high doses of negative energy radiation, even if the soul is specially protected, it will be seriously polluted, and this will cause the volunteers participating in the experiment to be unable to revive.

……

At this moment, Xia Duo emotionally hopes that Matt can choose to give up, or even if he lies, he must first suspend the experiment.

As a kind of intelligent life, human beings instinctively express regret, regret, and resistance to the loss of similar lives.

Xia Duo is not arrogant enough to regard the human beings in the projected plane as non-identical. Even if it is a virtual life, their thoughts, emotions, will, and the perception and experience they bring to Xia Duo are real. .

From an emotional point of view, it is really difficult for Xia Duo to accept that a life he admired and respected died before his eyes.

But from a rational point of view, he also knew that such a sacrifice was inevitable from the day the theory of "negative energy downgrading" appeared.

The relevant experiments are either led by oneself or led by others. The only difference is that one has a real or false higher morality that one does not realize, and can control all sacrifices within an acceptable range.

The "negative energy downgrading" experiment is similar to the human medical experiment on the earth, and death is inevitable.

Be in awe and be cautious about life, but don't be too taboo about death. The greatest respect for those victims is to make their deaths worthwhile and let them die well.

……

After some psychological struggle, Xia Duo calmed down a lot, then he solemnly bowed to Matt, and then increased the dose of negative energy radiation.

But unfortunately, reality often runs counter to people's wishes. Under the exposure of high doses of negative energy radiation, Matt only persisted for less than 15 seconds before losing all vital signs, including his soul, which was also polluted by negative energy. an irreversible abyss.

"Stop it and carry out the purification procedure. Gabriel, you will inform Dean Bernie of the results of the experiment, and he will decide whether to carry out the follow-up experiments."

After speaking, Xia Duo left the laboratory alone.

At this moment, his mood was very complicated. Before crossing, he had heard of many sacrifices, but he had never come into contact with such incidents so closely.

It was even said that the victim actually died by his own hands. This experience greatly shocked Xia Duo's heart.

If given the chance to choose again, he is not sure whether he will insist on increasing the radiation dose, maybe he will, maybe he will not.

But now, with the life of a victim on his back, Xia Duo is even more difficult to give up on "negative energy downgrade".

It would be too hypocritical to say that it is all for Matt who has already sacrificed to continue his research, but Xia Duo does feel an indescribable sense of mission.

This sense of mission urged him to complete the "negative energy downgrading" project.

……

Not surprisingly, Dean Bernie did not choose to stop the experiment, but gave Xia Duo another list, which meant nothing more than obvious.

"Vice President Samuel, don't worry about me. I have seen my companions die in front of me more than once, and now it's just one more, I'm not that fragile yet!"

After replying to Vice President Samuel's comforting message, Xia Duo made arrangements for the next experiment.

In fact, he did see his so-called companions die in front of him before, but that was in the green field plane, and the relationship between those companions and him was actually not that close.

Traveling so far, the death that brought Xia Duo the most heart-shattering feeling was Matt, but he was indeed not as fragile as Samuel imagined. He had experienced many things, and he would naturally become stronger inside.

He is Xia Duo, not the real "McCard"!
……

Next, the experiment continued, and the sacrifices continued to increase.

There is indeed progress in the experiment, but very little. It was not until the appearance of No.30 volunteers that the experiment made a breakthrough——

After several adjustments, the negative energy radiation finally took effect on the perception of the magic net. Volunteer No. 30, an archmage from the Judgment Division, had already sensed the eighth layer of the magic net.

After a high dose of negative energy radiation, the perception of the magic net was reduced to the seventh floor.

Although it is only such a small change, it is already a qualitative leap compared to before!
In the laboratory that day, almost all the researchers shed tears of excitement. Although Xia Duo did not shed tears, the pressure that had accumulated in his heart for a long time was also released.

But just when he wanted to discuss the next experiment plan with everyone, the picture in his field of vision suddenly began to distort, and various noises appeared in his ears.

The other senses also seemed to receive a myriad of jumbled messages, making his mind dizzy and making him feel nauseous.

But before he could react, everything around him changed rapidly, and when he recovered, the surroundings had changed into another scene——

"Hey, why do I seem to be lying on the ground?"

The next moment, Xia Duo realized that he had turned into a baby lying in the cradle!

The time loop of the projection plane is over!

　The time cycle has turned into a baby, Xia Duo can't stay in this projection plane and wait for the baby to grow up, so he can only go back~~
