"It's unreasonable," Alice put down the test tube in her hand, and asked again unwillingly, "Do you really not feel anything?"

"No." Filch shook his head, his face full of disappointment.He was lying on the "sick bed" kindly provided by Andrew, his legs and hands were covered with silver needles, his joints were covered with "plasters", and he drank the reagent brewed by Gavin an hour ago.

Whether or not these measures had any effect on the Squib's cure, Filch shouldn't feel the least bit off.Even pain represents a certain possibility.

"Is it possible that there is something wrong with the reagent you brewed?" Alice looked at Gavin suspiciously.Does "Chinese medicine" made from various Muggle herbs really work for wizards without any magic?

"Like potions, traditional Chinese medicine is a very serious subject. If you use magic ingredients casually, it will be difficult to ensure the safety of the finished product," Gavin explained calmly at first, but then changed the subject, "Chinese medicine needs to be taken for a long time before it can be used. It's working, so there's a greater chance of your plaster going wrong."

Alice was at a loss for words for a while, because after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that her own problem was indeed bigger.According to the book, there will be a tingling sensation after the plaster for dredging meridians is applied.Filch didn't feel anything now, which meant that Muggle plasters might not be very effective for wizards.

"But it shouldn't be. Wizards in the East also learn Chinese medicine. Doesn't this just show that Chinese medicine is universal for wizards and Muggles?" She scratched her head, feeling that she had fallen into a dead end.

Gavin thought for a while and pointed out the problem: "Why do you let me use magic materials, but you use Muggle materials? Even Chinese medicine is effective for wizards, but squibs are too special, and ordinary plasters may not be of much use effect."

He glanced at Filch who was lying down, and nodded to confirm his thoughts: "Anyway, it's something stuck on the outside, unlike the traditional Chinese medicine that's ingested, and it won't die if you experiment a few times."

Hearing this, Filch's face turned pale several degrees in an instant.But thinking that if the experiment was successful, he would become a real wizard, he still gritted his teeth and endured it.

"Yes, you can experiment with me as you like. I am in good health and cannot die," he said firmly, fearing that Alice would still have a psychological burden, he immediately added, "Even if I die, I will stay The suicide note will not hold you accountable."

Filch has always dreamed of becoming a real wizard, so when Alice found him, he agreed without thinking.For so many years, the wizarding community has long since given up research on squibs.Everyone has tacitly accepted that squibs are a birth defect that cannot be cured.So the opportunity is in front of him, he will definitely not give up.

"It doesn't have to be like that," Alice was frightened by Filch's reckless words, and hurriedly assured her, "Don't worry, we will definitely guarantee your safety."

Gavin packed up the experimental supplies silently, he didn't have any interest in these polite words.It's just a test subject. As long as Alice can stabilize the other party's emotions and ensure the smooth progress of the experiment, it will be great.

"Let's stop here today," he said, "This month's experiment will be suspended, let's study possible problems and improvement methods."

"Okay, no problem." Filch was about to nod, but he froze when he remembered that there were more than a dozen silver needles stuck in his forehead.

Seeing this, Alice hurried forward and carefully took off the silver needle.

These needles look ordinary, but they actually make up most of the money in the experiment.Compared with circulating goods such as herbal medicines, exotic niche commodities have almost commanded sky-high prices in the black market.She only regrets that she didn't exchange contact information with Yaqi Wang at the beginning, even if it was a barter.

After Filch left, Gavin said, "If I wasn't worried about being cheated by unscrupulous merchants, I would have planned to buy these needles online."

Compared with buying from the wizarding world, Muggle online shopping is much more convenient.It's just that on the one hand, the logistics is too slow, and on the other hand, the quality cannot be guaranteed, so they can only spend a lot of money to buy peace of mind.

"There's nothing I can do about it," Alice sighed, "Fortunately, I have money now, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to support this endless experiment."

Hearing this, Gavin seemed to be interested: "I heard that you have cooperated with other families in the wizarding world?"

Over the past few days, while visiting most of the wizarding world, he also saw many shops with the "Hall" signboard, and he was still very proud of the achievements of his junior.

"Yes, Andrew, and the pure-blood supporters of the Malfoy family." Alice replied.

"Pure-blood supporters?" Hearing the word for the first time, Gavin said thoughtfully, "I didn't expect wizards to be so racist."

The moment he heard the word, he understood how arrogant the wizard was.The average person automatically associates the transition from pure-blood to half-blood, and to wizards' contempt for Muggles.

It's just that Gavin thought that wizards looked down on humans who didn't know magic at first, but he didn't expect that they would even ignore their own kind.

"What is the definition of pure blood? As long as both parents are wizards, or both families have been wizards for generations?" He asked curiously.

"It should be enough for both parents," Alice said hesitantly, "according to the latter statement, there may be very few pure-blood wizards."

"It's not only pitifully few," Gavin adjusted his glasses, and said in a strange tone, "I'm afraid wizards have become extinct with a high probability. I checked the population data of wizards and found that almost every family has some blood relationship. If you If the definition of pure blood is the latter, the consequences can refer to the marriage of close relatives."

Alice swallowed, she agreed with Gavin's conclusion, but she always felt that Gavin's expression was very strange when he said this, showing a strange excitement.

"So?" she asked weakly.

Gavin turned around twice, his brain running fast: "The consequences of inbreeding are not the point. The point is that there must be extreme pure-blood families who demand the absolute purity of blood."

"Probably? But I guess very few." Alice said uncertainly.After all, according to Gavin, the disadvantages of marrying close relatives are so serious, such a pure-blood family may not be able to survive at all.

"Can you get it? The offspring of this absolute pure-blood family?" Gavin calmed down and asked a terrible question.

"What do you mean by getting it?" Alice's voice became sharper. "That's a person, a wizard, nothing. How did I get it?"

"It's a pity, I think it will be very helpful for our experiments," Gavin shook his head regretfully, "Pure blood is a good experimental subject for studying the genetics of wizards, and it may be able to solve the ultimate mystery of Squibs."

Rather than looking for a cure without knowing the reason, he is more inclined to explore the root of the problem.And as long as the research on pure blood is thorough enough, maybe we can find out the origin of wizards.Is there a difference in life between wizards and ordinary humans?Where is the source of the wizard's magic power?Is it possible to transform a wizard into a Muggle or a Muggle into a wizard?

"Wait!" Alice hurriedly interrupted, "The next few are too scary! That's a human experiment, no matter how you think about it, it's against your conscience!"

"Tsk." Gavin pouted.Without these shackles, science would have developed rapidly.Of course, he himself agrees with the necessity of these shackles. After all, not every scientist has the ability to fully control experiments like him.

"Anyway," Alice emphasized, "don't even think about getting a pure-blood wizard!"

Gavin nodded and continued to tidy up the test bench.

Alice breathed a sigh of relief, she felt that she had just saved the world.In fact, when she mentioned pure-blood wizards, she immediately thought of two families, the Malfoy family and the Black family.Thinking of the fact that the Malfoy family is even willing to cooperate with him for the benefit, their purity seems a bit suspicious.

Then only the Black family, known for their madness, remained.Sirius Black jumped out in an instant. God knows how much perseverance it took Alice to restrain herself from pronouncing his name.

"Actually, a corpse is fine," Gavin said again. "I think a corpse is better. An autopsy can solve most of the mysteries."

Taking a deep breath, Alice repeated word by word: "No! Yes! Yes!"

"dong dong"

Just when Alice tried harder to dispel Gavin's horrible idea of ​​dissecting a pure-blood wizard, there was a knock on the window.

Looking at the beautiful owl in front of her, her anger dropped instantly.

"Sorry, there's nothing for you to eat here." She said as she took the letter from the white owl.

The white owl didn't seem to be planning to wait for Alice's reply, so it flew away briskly after rubbing its head against her hand.

"It's unscientific. Can all owls send messages or only wizard's owls can." Gavin frowned as he stared at the flying owl.If owls themselves have no magic, then wizards gave them magic?So aren't other creatures in the wizarding world also ordinary?

"Not a pure-blood wizard, but an owl carcass would always do," he asked.

"Wow!" Alice didn't answer his words, but let out an inexplicable emotion, "Harry Potter asked me about the precautions for using the mermaid potion."

"The savior in the prophecy? I am also very interested in him, but the problems need to be solved one by one, so the owl..."

"It's really great!" Alice patted the table excitedly, "I've long felt that the mermaid potion lacked some publicity. Isn't the mermaid savior the best publicity?"

Gavin's face was deadpan. He had no interest in anything other than experiments, including money.

"If you can find an owl carcass that died naturally." After leaving these words, Alice walked towards the door excitedly.

She had to contact the photographer as soon as possible, grab the photos before the game, and then sell them directly on the day of the game.Not only can you promote it for free, but you can also make a fortune.

Here, Gavin nodded in satisfaction. Seeing that Alice was about to leave, he quickly said, "I want to meet your potion master. I had some doubts about learning potions by myself some time ago."

Alice waved her hand, agreeing.
