Warlock Apprentice

Experiments proved that Sanders’s guess was completely correct.

There is a connection between infection time and live wire removal; the longer the infection time, the higher the role’s alignment, making wire removal more difficult.

Yva’s sister took Sanders forty minutes to extract the live wire, but for the dancer, it’s been two hours and still no progress.

However, with the continuous supply of Nightmare Realm aura, the frequency of ”confusion” in the dancer’s eyes is increasing, suggesting that the dancer’s condition is improving, though it might take longer for her to completely free herself from the live wire like Old Hanmu and Yva’s sister.

Releasing Mare Stone’s Nightmare Realm aura doesn’t require Sanders’s personal effort. He released a Magic Puppet shaped like a Magic Falcon from the Gravity Garden, controlled by a thread of spiritual power to release the Nightmare Realm aura, while he followed everyone to the hall.

In the hall, aside from their group, there were two more people: Old Hanmu and Yva’s sister, who had been cured.

Others were questioning them.

Previously, Sanders mentioned that Old Hanmu’s brain might have suffered some impact, preventing him from thinking about overly complex issues. As the name implies, Old Hanmu’s physical condition isn’t very good.

In their speculation, if Old Hanmu is in such a condition, it’s likely Yva’s sister is even worse.

However, reality was contrary to their imagination; Yva’s sister’s situation indeed wasn’t great, though she experienced discomfort from overthinking, it was much better compared to Old Hanmu.

This strange situation confused everyone. Why is Yva’s sister, who was infected slightly longer than Old Hanmu, in a better condition?

As they questioned both of them, the answer finally emerged.

Old Hanmu rubbed his aching temple with his left hand and held his neck with his right: ”My head hurts, the more I recall, the more it hurts... Right, Yva bit me. Then what? Then, then, I remembered, Yva bit near my neck, um, let me think, was it a trapezius? Yes, around there. The crack was like a fingertip, the bleeding wasn’t much, but it should be cared for, I don’t know if Yva brushed her teeth, forget it, even if she didn’t, disinfection is needed, what should be used for disinfection... Then, use catgut suture...”

Old Hanmu muttered for a long time.

Greya was a bit confused: ”I recall, previously those people said he ran a dyeing factory?”

Angel: ”He was in the fabric business, apart from the dyeing factory, he also had a textile factory.”

Greya: ”But listening to his tone, he sounds more like a doctor. Was he a doctor before being a fabric merchant?”

This Angel didn’t know, he looked towards Yva’s sister on the other side, Yva’s sister had lived in Windmill Town for a long time, she should know Old Hanmu better.

But Yva’s sister simply shook her head: ”I’m very sure, before today, Old Hanmu didn’t know any medical skills.”

If he didn’t know any medical skills, what was he saying?

While everyone was pondering, Old Hanmu suddenly realized himself: ”How do I know these odd things? Hmm, it seems there are certain inexplicable pieces of information in my mind, doctor? I’m not a doctor... No, I seem to be a doctor...”

Old Hanmu rubbed his increasingly aching temple and murmured somewhat incoherently.

Seeing Old Hanmu’s condition, Sanders gently spoke: ”Perhaps the role he played was that of a doctor.”

”The live wire provided him with a segment of medical knowledge?” Greya also chimed in, voicing her realization: ”No wonder he feels pain whenever he uses his brain; it’s forcibly cramming information not belonging to him.”

In that case, Yva’s sister is performing slightly better than Old Hanmu because she played the role longer and started to digest the knowledge she obtained?

Thinking of this, Greya looked at Yva’s sister: ”You should also have gained a segment of memory, right? What is it?”

Yva’s sister hesitated for a moment: ”Butcher.”

”Butcher?”

Yva’s sister nodded, somewhat reluctantly: ”To be precise, Pig Slaughterer. It’s just some experience in pig slaughtering.”

”The seamstress turned into a dancer, Old Hanmu became a doctor, and you turned into a Pig Slaughterer.” Greya: ”The scripts each of you received are indeed interesting. Were they distributed randomly?”

No one could answer Greya’s question, and others didn’t care about the answer.

At this moment, Sanders conducted a small experiment. He used illusions to mimic a pig and gave it to Yva’s sister, asking her to use her acquired knowledge to handle it.

They observed Yva’s sister dealing with the process of slaughtering and dissecting the pig from start to finish. Although Yva’s sister was a bit clumsy, overall, she already bore the traits of a Pig Slaughterer.

Then, Sanders simulated a person with a severed hand and let Old Hanmu sew for him. However, Old Hanmu’s final performance was not satisfactory; he had theoretical knowledge, but when it came down to it, he was useless.

After completing this experiment, they had basically determined a conclusion.

”The live wire not only provided them with actor scripts, but it would, due to staying in the actor’s body for a long time, improve the actor’s role execution ability through alignment.”

Old Hanmu only acquired knowledge about being a doctor, then the wire was removed, so he had knowledge but no experience.

Yva’s sister was infected half a day earlier than Old Hanmu, and after the live wire provided her knowledge, it had another half day for alignment, so Yva’s sister could still simply handle pig slaughtering.

As for the dancer, from her previous graceful dance steps, it can be basically confirmed that the live wire has already led to a transformation in the dancer’s dancing skills. It’s estimated that after the dancer wakes up, her dance skills alone would be enough to make her an outstanding dancer.

”In this way, the live wire has indeed provided them with many benefits.” Greya said.

Tree Spirit also spoke: ”This is just like the catastrophe of Night Demon City; those parasitized ultimately experienced some physical growth. Because of the unrestrained behavior of Nightmare Realm creatures, fortune and misfortune often become unpredictable.”

Greya also nodded in agreement with Tree Spirit’s words; this group of people was very lucky, happening to be near Barbarian Cave, happening to meet Sanders, ultimately the misfortune transmuted into fortune. If they were elsewhere, it would have been purely unfortunate.

Tree Spirit looked at Old Hanmu: ”However, Old Hanmu is quite unfortunate; if he had been infected earlier, he might have become an excellent doctor.”

Yva’s sister, although she acquired seemingly useless Pig Slaughterer experience, her power increased more than double after a period of alignment with the live wire, which was quite good. Old Hanmu purely acquired a bunch of theoretical knowledge, which was somewhat regrettable.

However, Old Hanmu himself was quite optimistic: ”Getting a doctor’s memory is good; experience can be accumulated slowly. At least I’m alive; I’m still Lucky Hanmu.”
