Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Seeing Lynn's serious expression, Alphonse didn't dare to delay and quickly returned to his laboratory.

Rowling was lying on a small bed in the inner room of the laboratory, flipping through an old experimental record.

During the years she was a "ghost," she stayed by Alphonse's side, helping him with his training, studies, and experiments, and also learning some wizarding knowledge.

Looking at these experimental records nowadays isn't difficult, and I even have some insights of my own.

If this resurrected body hadn't lacked wizarding talent, she might have already embarked on the path of a wizard.

However, when Alphonse asked Lynn to resurrect her, he only hoped that she could live a normal life, peacefully and happily.

Rowling was idly flipping through the documents in her hand when she suddenly heard the door open and footsteps, and her face lit up with joy.

Alphonse is back.

She looked up and, noticing Alphonse's pale face, asked with concern, "What happened?"

"It's nothing," Alphonse forced a smile. "It's just that Lynn wanted me to be his soul-type deputy, but I refused."

Rowling sat up, her tone reproachful:

"Are you stupid? What a great opportunity! If you become Lord Lynn's right-hand man, you'll have some power in the Soul System, and there will be many benefits."

Alphonse went over and hugged her: "You know, I don't want any of that, I just want to be with you."

Rowling leaned against him and gently punched him: "You're so good with words."

After spending some time being affectionate, Alphonse suddenly said, "Come for a walk with me."

Rowling didn't think much of it and nodded, "Sure, it's been a long time since we strolled around the academy together."

When she was still a spirit, she often strolled around the academy with Alphonse. After she was resurrected, she left the academy directly.

She is happy to be able to relive the past.

Before leaving, Alphonse added another negative energy shield to her to prevent her body from being eroded by the academy's negative energy.

Then he led her toward Marfa's former laboratory.

Rowling was initially in good spirits, talking to Alphonse about the past.

But when she realized that the route Alphonse was taking was becoming more and more familiar, and they finally stopped in front of the old laboratory in Malfa, she slowly fell silent.

"How about we go somewhere else?" Rowling tugged at Alphonse's sleeve. "I don't want to go in."

Alphonse's heart softened; he knew, of course, what this place meant to Rowling.

He joined Malfa's forces in order to revive Rowling.

After becoming a ghost, Rowling, like other ghosts, lost her spirit and memories, and was left only with obedience to the caster.

Later, Alphonse pleaded with Malfa to restore Rowling's consciousness, paying a high price in the process.

Marfa didn't hold back either, using memory weaving, emotional binding, and all sorts of techniques on her to restore her consciousness.

Finally, Rowling and Alphonse were made into one soul, which indirectly resurrected Rowling.

Those experiments were torture for Rowling every second; they didn't seem to help her regain consciousness at all, but rather tormented her into a vengeful spirit.

If it weren't for Alphonse's constant comfort and support, and my own desire to recover and stay by Alphonse's side, I probably would have collapsed long ago.

That deep, soul-crushing pain still haunts her to this day.

"Don't be afraid." Alphonse took her hand. "Martha is gone. We'll just go in, take a look, and come right out."

Rowling looked into his eyes and finally nodded.

Yes, Marfa is gone, it's time to let this go.

Inside the laboratory, Lynn was also busy analyzing Malfa's "forbidden library".

These are some forbidden techniques that Marfa has independently improved and created over the years, based on the forbidden techniques of the fourth level of the Bone Storage and his own mastery of the soul.

He inherited everything from Marfa, including this laboratory, but he had been spending the last part of the time on the fourth floor of the bone repository, analyzing those forbidden techniques, and hadn't had time to come here to receive them.

Now it seems there was indeed something fishy going on.

He discovered a backup plan left by Marfa in Marfa's laboratory.

Lynn stood in front of the innermost row of black crystal cabinets, holding a dark-colored soul crystal in his hand.

"Found it," Lynn said in a low voice.

The soul crystal in his hand not only contained complete information about a forbidden soul technique, but also a soul seed.

The seed contains a small fragment of Marfa's consciousness and memories, serving as a kind of "backup" method for wizards.

Lynn has already scanned it with the parser.

This forbidden technique is a complete version called "Emotional Anchor".

It will plant a seed of consciousness deep within the target's soul, waiting for the host's emotions to stir and sprout.

When Alphonse led Rowling into the laboratory, Rowling immediately spotted Lynn standing inside.

Rowling was slightly taken aback, not understanding why Lynn was there.

She was about to bow respectfully when Lynn had already disappeared from the spot.

The next second, he appeared in front of Rowling.

"Analyze," Lynn said in a low voice.

The mental energy pierced Rowling's soul like countless fine needles.

Rowling shuddered and cried out in pain.

"Lynn! What are you doing!" Alphonse panicked and, disregarding any formalities, shouted Lynn's name and tried to rush forward to stop him.

Lynn simply raised his hand, and an invisible force kept Alphonse three meters away.

Alphonse tried to break through, but Lynn's overflowing mental stance completely blocked all his methods.

The difference between the two is too great.

Lynn's mental energy didn't stop; it went straight into the depths of Rowling's soul core.

Everything was normal at first.

Rowling's soul structure is complete, her emotional threads are clear, and her memory sequence is intact.

When Marfa performed the soul repair, his technique was indeed skillful, which shows he was quite conscientious.

But Lynn explored another layer inside.

Between the core of the soul and the outer memory area, there is a very thin layer of gray mist.

The gray mist was almost the same color as the surrounding soul tissue, and even its fluctuation frequency was disguised exactly the same, so ordinary holy marks could not detect it at all.

If I didn't have the means to analyze it, I might have actually been fooled by her.

"You've really hidden it well," Lynn sneered.

He activated his analytical abilities to the fullest extent, peeling away the layers of gray fog one by one. What was revealed inside made his eyelids twitch.

The essence of this gray fog is an "emotional anchor" left behind by Marfa.

Malfa compressed a small fragment of her consciousness into a seed and hid it within Rowling's soul.

The seed's surface is enveloped in Rowling's own emotional energy, so when viewed from the outside, it appears as if it were part of Rowling's soul.

Once Rowling is resurrected and begins to experience intense emotional fluctuations, such as joy, sadness, fear, and love, the anchor seed will absorb these emotional energies and slowly sprout.

Once sprouted, the fragments of consciousness will spread along Rowling's emotional threads, gradually replacing her original emotional responses.

She will become sensitive, suspicious, and develop an uncontrollable hostility towards those around her.

Even more frightening is that the anchor seed has implanted Malpha's behavioral patterns.

Rowling will become more and more like Malfa; her mannerisms, tone of voice, and even way of thinking will be unconsciously assimilated.

Later on, she would even actively seek out Marfa's former subordinates or keepsakes.

For example, the soul crystal in Lynn's hand is a token, and there must be other "tokens" in other places.

Once Rowling is integrated into the keepsake, she will become a "living backup plan" left behind by Malfa.
