The most powerful wizard in the magic world

Gerling sat in the laboratory, which was filled with data and experimental equipment, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant. The sky outside the window was gloomy, as if it was also feeling the weight of the decision he was about to make.

"I can't go on like this." He muttered to himself, his hoarse voice sounding particularly lonely in the empty laboratory. The cruelty of the experiment weighed heavily on his heart. Those innocent lives were tortured in various ways. The data was rich but also ruthless. Deep in his heart, a rope was tightening and was about to break.

"Gerling, tell me, is it necessary to continue our experiment?" This is his assistant Amelie, who loves science but is full of doubts about these experiments. She walked into the laboratory with a frown on her face, and her eyes showed her concern for Gerling.

"I don't know, Amelie. The data I collected is indeed very meaningful, but..." Gelling sighed, his eyes wandering, looking out the window, struggling in his heart. He thought of the painful experiences of the experimental subjects, and his heart was broken.

"Are we sacrificing our lives for science?" Amelie asked tentatively. Gerling nodded slightly and fell into deep thought. The original intention of the experiment was to promote human progress, but in this pursuit of truth, is the sacrifice really worth it?

"I think we should suspend the experiment. We can't go on any longer," Gelling finally said what he was thinking. His voice was firm, as if he was fighting against his inner weakness.

Amelie was stunned. "Pause? In this case, no matter how much experimental data we have, it will be meaningless."

"I can choose other methods, other ways." Gerling's eyes gradually became firm. He finally realized that science is not based on innocent sacrifices. He opened a report and pointed at the data. "These data are indeed worth analyzing, but behind them are the costs of innocent lives. I cannot afford this cost."

"But this will affect our research progress and even the future of the entire project." Amelie persuaded again, she couldn't help but worry. But she was more worried about the impact that Garling's decision might have on his career.

"I understand, but science cannot come at the cost of violence! We need to re-examine our position." Gerling felt a sense of relief in his heart, as if he had cast aside the burden of many years.

At this time, the door of the laboratory was pushed open, and the other members of the experimental team returned to the room. State Councilor Lei Kaier walked in, his face full of excitement. Obviously, he didn't know that a storm was brewing in his heart.

"Gerlin! Amelie! We have obtained some unprecedented results! Come and see!" He waved the data report in his hand excitedly, but when he saw the expressions of Gerlin and Amelie, his interest seemed particularly abrupt.

"Raikeer, is it necessary to discuss this now?" Amelie asked.

"Of course, this is the result of our hard work!" Lei Kaier frowned in confusion.

"Perhaps we should consider stopping the experiment," Gelling finally said, the solemnity between his words was breathtaking. His eyes were firm, like a fire lit in the darkness.

"Stop the experiment?" Lei Kaier seemed unable to understand. "What are you doing? Our data can change everything!"

"But behind this is countless pain and sacrifice," Gelling said calmly. He continued, "I would rather delay our achievements than sacrifice innocent lives for a report."

"Gerlin, you are exiling yourself!" Lei Kaier was a little excited, his voice a little out of control, "The scientific community needs such bold experiments. Who will take the risk of pursuing the truth?"

"But this is not my risk, it's other people's lives." Gerling's voice was low and firm, as if he was swearing his belief.

Seeing this, Amelie decided to ease the atmosphere. She said, "Raikael, stopping doesn't mean giving up. Instead, it means we should re-examine this path. The further we go, the more difficult it will be. We must seriously consider our choices."

In the laboratory, four young researchers sat around a table, and there was an invisible tension in the air.

"I admit that science does require risk." Lei Kaier finally softened his tone, but he still held up the data in his hand and looked directly at Gerling, "But this does not deny the value of the results we have obtained."

"Value? Does this value need to be achieved at the cost of life?" Gerling's question was like a sharp knife, piercing through Rakel's argument.

Eventually, the awkward and heavy atmosphere was gradually replaced by another emotion. Lei Kaier knew that he could no longer refute Gerling's ideals.

"I think maybe we can try other ways and find more humane experimental methods." Amelie made a suggestion, "I know there are some non-invasive techniques that we can try."

"Non-invasive?" Rakel asked back, a thoughtful look on his face.

“Yes, we can use simulation experiments, computer models and other methods to replace some of the actual operations.” Amelie said with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

Gelling looked at Amelie, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his heart. He realized that they were not without a way out, but they needed to rethink the direction of the experiment.

So, Gelling, Amelie, and Rachel began discussing how to use non-invasive research methods to advance their projects. In the following weeks, a new vitality permeated the laboratory, and the sounds of chatter, discussion, and even laughter became more and more frequent.

On a sunny morning, in a corner of the laboratory, several people sat around a computer, discussing the latest simulation results. "Look! The data of this model is basically consistent with the results collected in the past." Amelie pointed to the screen excitedly, "We can consider expanding new experiments based on this!"

"However, we still need to ensure the credibility of these data." Lei Kaier pointed out seriously. His expression became serious, but he also felt anticipation for the new method in his heart.

Gelling sat aside, holding a pornographic film in his hands, and listened quietly to the discussion between the two assistants. He did not interrupt, but he felt more relaxed than ever before. Thinking back to the time when he spared no effort to pursue the so-called scientific research goal, he was deeply relieved by the change now.
