magic high school

Chapter 150 has a big problem; panicking won't help.

Deep within the research department, in a place no one can find, lies the location of the Divine Blood research.

Li Ge didn't dare to look around, after all, who knows what kind of weird things were hiding in this place, and he was afraid that knowing too much would be bad.

Li Ge had actually anticipated that the school would want to research divine blood. After all, they had almost completely failed this time, and this thing was truly bizarre. Even if the school didn't use it, they at least needed to understand it and have a way to deal with it.

You could even think of it the other way around: the soul of someone contaminated by divine blood will be irreversibly distorted and corrupted, and even the academy's highest level of medical technology cannot save them. So, could this stuff be used as a poison?

Although Li Ge saw that even a tiny leak of that thing had essentially distorted the entire world's biosphere, he could still try to reduce its contagiousness, or use it to deal with planets that were beyond saving, such as those completely overrun by demons...

When insects or undead possess it, would this thing be usable as a soul-disintegrating poison?

Although it's a bit far-fetched, this thing doesn't necessarily have to be used as an enhancement agent, and it depends on the school's policies regarding various potions...

Given the extreme level of secrecy surrounding elixirs and similar items, it's unlikely they would even consider using such things on their own people.

"Alright, the room is right in front. You know the rules," said the senior student from the executive department.

"Understood, understood. Don't ask anything, don't be curious about anything, just give the necessary information." Li Ge nodded immediately.

This wasn't his first time here; he had helped check on Senior Longbow once before when he was corrupted by a magic potion.

Although he didn't know whether the information he provided at that time was of any use to the school.

This is a separate isolation room: the front appears to be made of reinforced glass with adjustable transparency.

Soon, a notification sounded over the loudspeaker: "Li Ge, use your Noble Phantasm to observe the corresponding unit, and then report the information you have observed to me."

"clear."

The next moment, the glass began to gradually become transparent, and then Li Ge saw a plump white mouse munching on its food.

Li Ge: "—"

Even after arriving at a magic high school, are we mice still destined to become experimental subjects?

However, after making his rant, he immediately closed his eyes and then opened them again.

The next instant, a beam of light like high beams appeared in the small room, and the person watching on the monitor froze on the spot.

"Sorry, I forgot to turn off my domain—" Li Ge said abruptly. His eyes were currently bound to his domain, and he hadn't fully controlled it yet, so it was easy to make such a blunder.

Senior student from the research department: "————"

"What will happen if I fall into your trap?" the senior asked.

"Um, I'll be having a thrilling and heart-wrenching love affair with a female internet celebrity—" Li Ge said weakly, lacking confidence.

Senior student from the research department:

"————"

"Alright, just be careful and don't do this again. It's normal for experiments to have accidents. I heard you just learned this field, so be more careful next time you use your Noble Phantasm—" He immediately ordered someone to replace the unlucky senior brother next to him and send someone else over.

"Okay, okay, I promise there won't be any problems—" Li Ge guessed that it was probably done through a monitor, so he sent a senior student to Chishi.

I'm so sorry, I didn't know what Akaishi scenario I would get randomly this time.

Meanwhile, the senior student who had accidentally been hit by the Red Stone Domain stared blankly at the admission notice in his hand and said, "What do you mean that I'll get half of my spiritual power and spells if we divorce?"

"What?! We're sharing the Noble Phantasm too!"

This time, Li Ge looked at the mouse seriously and temporarily closed the connection channel with the domain. This was extremely difficult for a domain novice like him, as difficult as trying to control himself from blinking.

Then, the mouse's label appeared in front of me.

[Subspace Mouse], [Psionic Enhancement], [Heat Period] ————

Li Ge immediately explained the situation of the mouse, and the senior nodded. Then the mouse seemed to be sent away by the conveyor belt, and then the next mouse appeared in front of Li Ge.

This time it was a restless mouse that seemed very insecure, and Li Ge looked directly at it.

[Subspace Mouse], [Abnormal Psionic Power], [Urgent] ————

This time, the label included the strange information "abnormal psionic energy," and at that moment, Li Ge thought of Luan Poye.

The reason why Luan Poye became such a twisted product was because the company directly implanted an abnormal alien psychic energy into her body without conducting much testing, which caused her to become twisted.

However, back then, the label for the chaotic night was—

[Mother of Hatred], [Abnormal Expansion], [Twisted Cancer], and [Longevity Syndrome] —

This mouse clearly didn't reach that level.

The senior student from the research department nodded, then switched to the next mouse. This time it was an even more unusual mouse; the entire large rat seemed to have gone mad, constantly ramming against the barrier.

[Meme contamination] and [immortality] —

Li Ge's pupils constricted immediately. This label was very similar to the one he had seen when he first saw Senior Chang Gong.

He immediately recited the labels, and his entire mind gradually pieced together all the information.

The senior simply nodded. The next moment, another mouse appeared, but this one could no longer be called a mouse; twisted, human-like arms grew from its spine.

Its head has protruding eyeballs like a shrimp, and other parts of its body are deformed to varying degrees.

[Aberrant Variant], [Twisted Cancer], [Longevity Syndrome] —

This is almost the same label as Ranpo Night!

The test was still ongoing, and after recording this label, the senior students in the research department continued to provide the next experimental sample.

This time, however, Li Ge was even more shocked.

Thirst for Blood —

This mouse, which doesn't appear to have much of a deformity and looks much like a normal mouse, has a bright red "thirsty" label on its head, resembling a drop of blood.

Li Ge immediately became agitated and asked, "How did you do that? How did you get it to this state?"

"Li Ge, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush, take your time. There are many more experimental subjects born under different conditions later on. Calm down, and especially control your domain." The senior's voice immediately rang out from the broadcast.

Li Ge took a deep breath to calm herself down.

After all, the senior was right; the problem was serious, and panicking wouldn't help.

Now that things have come to this, let's first see what the specifics are.

Subsequently, Li Ge reported several other different-looking mice, noting the labels that distinguished them from the other mice.

In the end, it seemed that even the people in the research department noticed that Li Ge was gradually unable to hold on. The senior students complained, "Junior, your spiritual power isn't very good. You can't handle this?"

Li Ge: "————"

"Okay, okay, let's look at one last one." The senior said, and finally brought over a mouse.

This mouse is even more exaggerated; it has completely lost its mouse-like appearance. You could tell it's a miniature Kaiju rather than a mouse.

And this one is labeled as follows:

[Primary-Tier Divine Blood Spawn], [Immortality] —

"All done. Thanks for your help with the experiment, junior. I'll apply for some subsidies for you." The voice of the senior from the research department came, and then Li Ge was quickly led away from the room.

He really wanted to ask that senior why the label "thirst for blood" appeared, and under what conditions it was produced.

Or does this thirst for blood mean a longing for divine blood?

Li Ge was now completely baffled. When he first saw Jaeger, he felt that his condition was quite similar to that of the Bloodthirsty Ones in his own world, but it was only similar; their actual performances were quite different.

Unexpectedly, we have now actually seen a way to use divine blood to create bloodthirsty beings.

That means that his hometown, the Holy Empire, is a hellish place covered in divine blood.

How did I manage to live there for over ten years without being assimilated by the divine blood?

Countless questions flooded his mind like a cosmic explosion, and Li Ge felt as if he were about to transform into a hundred thousand "whys".

"Don't rush, don't rush, many things are still being experimented with. But based on the information we have so far, I can only tell you that your hometown is indeed related to divine blood. We are also testing further conditions, and we will come to find you again after we have fully replicated all the phenomena. Right now, we are also conducting experiments and cannot get a definite conclusion—" the senior said.

In fact, they still have many questions; they have only grasped some phenomena so far. These rats are not simply infected with different concentrations of divine blood; many have undergone very complex and special treatments, and are relatively stable individuals that have been tested little by little.

There are even many individuals that cannot remain stable, and their research department has not released them for observation.

The number of rats they've killed during this period could probably circle the school several times.

"Alright then—" Li Ge knew that these researchers wouldn't be able to finish so quickly.

In particular, this divine blood appears to have many different variants, and each variant will exhibit completely different properties after being processed in different ways.

In short, the problem is huge, and panicking won't help.

Finally, the research department gave him a small gift, which was said to be worth extra credits at the end of the semester. They also applied for a subsidy of several hundred points for him, as a small reward for his help.

Li Ge didn't refuse. The school has always been quite good in this respect; they always pay you for your help, like close family members keeping clear accounts, rather than using honors or kinship to take advantage of your remaining value and time. Although the compensation might sometimes be too high, and sometimes it's really just barely enough.

It seems like I've forgotten something. Oh well, since I've forgotten, it probably isn't important anyway.

Later, Li Ge heard that the senior who had been affected by her Red Stone Domain had been lying in a mental hospital for three days. The first thing he said when he woke up was, "Where's my Noble Phantasm? Was half of it taken away too?"
