Wizard: I brought the wrong system...

Chapter 535 Waiting for a Rabbit to Run into a Tree Stump

Judging from the way that strange space appeared, it is very likely related to Bevin's shadow magic.

Therefore, by using light, it is very likely that its entrance can be found.

Koyal carefully explored every corner of the entire laboratory, but ultimately found nothing.

After putting away the ball of light, Yaro turned around and asked:

"Bevin, do you know how that space came to be? Or rather, what did you sense before that space appeared?"

Bevin's expression changed slightly.

He hesitated for a moment, then said tentatively:

"Teacher... are you really confident... in killing that monster?"

Yaro reassured him, "Don't worry, I was just asking to see if I could enter that space using your method. You don't need to take any risks."

"Teacher, I'm not scared!"

Bevin was slightly agitated. "That giant is intelligent, and he already knows your strength. If you go in again, he will definitely set a deadly trap that you cannot resist!"

Yaro chuckled and said, "Keep your voice down, don't be so loud, I can hear you."

Bevin's cheeks flushed as she continued to persuade him, "Come on, teacher, there's really no need to take this risk."

Yaro could easily see that Bevin was afraid.

This is normal. Not to mention a ten-year-old like Bevan, many adults also cannot overcome their fear of deadly danger.

However, we must not let this fear affect our ability to make rational and normal judgments.

Yaro stopped smiling and said seriously:

"What you say makes a lot of sense, but have you considered what you'll do if we don't address the root cause? What will you do next time something like this happens without me being there?"

Bevin remained silent.

If Yaro hadn't come to their rescue, they might never have woken up!

"Teacher, I..."

"Alright, Bevin, let's skip this."

Yaro smiled gently and said, "Tell me, how exactly did it happen?"

Bevan knew that the teacher was trying to save face for him.

Teachers are always so gentle.

Bevin took a deep breath, composed himself, and then said in a deep voice:

"I think... it might be caused by those toxic salts."

"Poisonous salt?"

Yaro turned to look at the fine particles on the lab table.

"Yes," Bevan nodded, then explained carefully, "Actually, when I came here in the poisonous salt mine wagon, I encountered a similar situation on the way. At that time, I..."

Bevan recounted his experience and feelings in detail, and then added, "But my consciousness returned to my body smoothly afterward, so I thought it was just an ordinary nightmare."

"When I was steaming the poisonous salt later, I felt that strange dizziness again. But since I had a similar feeling before and I knew that it was a poisonous salt mine, I just thought that I was not used to the smell and did not pay too much attention to it."

"It was precisely because I intentionally ignored too many details that I was completely caught off guard when the unexpected happened."

"Then I saw Heri suddenly collapse. I went over to check on her, but she immediately stood up and walked outside in a daze..."

Yaro then realized that Bevan had not entered the strange space with Heri's consciousness.

Bevan didn't see Heri's body at all and thought Heri was walking out.

No wonder he didn't even have time to shout.

But... according to this theory, in order to replicate the previous situation, Bevin must be made to take risks.

But if we repeat this process, won't we be like lambs to the slaughter?

Yaro had no intention of sacrificing Bevan!

This time, it was Yarrow's turn to hesitate.

Bevan, however, was very decisive: "Teacher, just like you said, if we can't resolve this while you're here, it will be even more dangerous for me when I'm alone later."

That's definitely true.

Yaro thought for a moment, then looked up and said, "Don't rush, you go out first, I'll study this poisonous salt first."

Perhaps, even without Bevan, absorbing the mist from the poisonous salt would activate that eerie space?

Whether it works or not, we should at least give it a try.

This time, Bevan did not object.

After Bevan left the room, Yaro put on the Demon Phoenix Armor again, then poured out all the remaining liquid in the distillation flask and added some of the poison salt powder that Bevan and the others had crushed earlier.

As soon as the flame was lit, the liquid in the glass bottle began to boil.

Since the door was closed and steam was rising, Yaro quickly smelled a pungent, irritating stench, somewhat like chlorine, which clung to his mouth and nose, making him feel unusually dry.

Yaro ignored him, maintaining his normal breathing rhythm and focusing intently on his surroundings.

After an unknown amount of time, Yaro suddenly felt his perception of his body become somewhat blurred, while his consciousness became exceptionally clear, somewhat like the feeling of being drunk, or like the hallucination he had experienced in the Ghost Orchid Garden.

"Are they here?"

Yaro put on the skull mask, took a few breaths of fresh air, and adjusted his state.

However, even though Yaro is now wearing the mask, he has already inhaled a lot of toxic salts, and even with the air converted from the mask, his brain is becoming increasingly heavy.

As Yaro focused his mind, the "second brain" he had once sensed in the Ghost Orchid Garden seemed to appear faintly, but because the brain's dulling was not yet complete, it could not fully manifest.

Sensing this, Yaro simply removed his mask once again—in case of any unforeseen circumstances, he could immediately activate his 'second brain'.

He wasn't afraid of being poisoned, after all, Heri's body had been lying in there for several hours before, and there didn't seem to be any major problems.

Breathing the air mixed with toxic salts normally, my body became increasingly dulled, and my consciousness became clearer and clearer—not really clear, but a kind of sobriety similar to being drunk after my body was numbed.

Once I reached a certain level of 'consciousness,' I maintained that state and there were no further changes.

Almost another hour passed, and the glass bottle had burned dry, but Yaro still did not notice any external changes.

—Did it fail?

Cha-cha-cha!

Yaro was overjoyed!

"Teacher, teacher... are you alright?"

Why is it Bevin?

Yaro looked up, slightly disappointed, and said, "I'm fine..."

His voice was a little hoarse, so he coughed a few times unconsciously before saying, "Come in, it seems it's no use."

Upon hearing Yaro's reply, Bevin opened the door.

"Teacher, did we fail?"

"Hmm, it didn't work..."

Yaro leaned on the Fiery Greatsword to get up, but his body swayed involuntarily, and Bevin quickly helped him up.

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

Yaro steadied himself, took a deep breath of fresh air, waved for Bevin to let go, and then said:

"This poisonous salt is a bit intoxicating... I think I know why you caused this strange space."
