As Liens continuously "explored" Marvin's room, he gained a comprehensive understanding of Marvin's experiments.

In fact, his smooth acquisition of this crucial information was partly due to Marvin's weak anti-theft awareness.

Such important experimental diaries were brazenly left on the desk, without any attempt at concealment.

Was he really not afraid of someone accidentally seeing them?

Or did Marvin just assume no one would enter his room, let alone flip through those notebooks?

Liens wasn't entirely clear on Marvin's exact thoughts, but thanks to Marvin's lack of caution, he was able to proceed so smoothly.

It was so smooth that he felt less like he was stealing secret intelligence and more like he was browsing books in a public library.

"Feasibility of magic flower in enhancing mental talent" — this was the name of the experiment.

As the name suggested, the experiment's objective was to explore whether the magic flower had the effect of enhancing mental power.

If it did, then what was the principle? How could it be applied to normal individuals?

This was the experiment Marvin was currently researching.

From the experimental diary, he also learned about Marvin's intense obsession with improving mental talent.

The experimental process involved continuously feeding the experimental subjects small amounts of magic flower juice, then observing the subjects' changes, and finally, periodically testing the phased results of the experiment.

The magic flower is a very dangerous plant, resembling a pale white rose-family flower; the entire plant is poisonous, with strong hallucinogenic toxicity, and its juice has the strongest toxicity.

Marvin believed that this hallucinogenic toxicity was caused by its effect on the human mind.

He wanted to study whether this effect promoted human mental power? Could it enhance the mental talent of ordinary people?

Of course, Marvin wasn't making these experimental subjects directly use the magic flower juice; instead, he used certain alchemical methods to completely dissolve the medicinal properties of the magic flower juice into a Stamina Potion.

However, this was just the initial stage.

Later in the diary, it was mentioned that due to the instructor's "intervention," Marvin changed this method, opting to add the prepared magic flower juice to the food of a few experimental subjects.

And among these few experimental subjects was Liens.

When he saw this, Liens's face darkened; he no longer relied so much on that watered-down Stamina Potion, but he couldn't just stop eating, could he?

In other words, even if he knew Marvin was poisoning him, he would have to eat it with tears in his eyes.

Thinking of this, Liens's killing intent towards Marvin intensified a few more points.

As Liens's interpretation of Marvin's experimental diary deepened, he began to form his own understanding of Marvin's experiment.

[At the beginning of the experiment, due to the relatively small intake of magic flower juice, the experimental subjects would show increased concentration.]

[However, as the intake increased, the experimental subjects would gradually become sensitive, and any slight disturbance would attract their attention.]

[When the intake reached a certain level, the experimental subjects would lose emotional self-control, and reactions such as irritability, short temper, and inexplicable silly laughter would successively appear in the experimental subjects.]

[Finally, the experimental subjects' brains would gradually undergo abnormal changes.]

These were the simple and intuitive data Marvin obtained through the experiment.

Based on the changes in his own body, Liens believed that the magic flower might initially only affect human hormones, leading to hallucinations.

But with repeated small intakes, to protect the body, the body's protective mechanism activated, gradually adapting the body to the magic flower's toxicity, which then led to abnormal changes in the brain.

This abnormal change was certainly not benign, but human mutations are not necessarily good; rather, they allow the body to adapt to the current environment and continue to function.

And this brain abnormality, or rather, pathology, would initially put these experimental subjects in a state of extreme sensitivity to external information.

In this state, anything would irritate their nerves.

Therefore, they would be more prone to losing emotional control.

Compared to other experimental subjects, the reason he could still control himself was simply because he could freely release his "violence" in the instance.

And this release of emotion might gradually become a part of his cognition along with the brain's pathology.

It's like a 'fantasy' beginning to overlay his original 'world,' and this might be the magic flower's original effect.

It's just that Marvin's experiment caused this "fantasy" to become fixed, gradually influencing his original worldview.

This is probably why he is somewhat addicted to killing now.

And that uncontrollable urge to kill might be because the brain's pathology intensified his pre-existing thoughts.

After all, he had experienced too much killing and death in the instance; killing or being killed was already commonplace for him.

Simply put, he was already a bit crazy, but Marvin's experiment made him even crazier.

However, compared to the fact that he was "sick," Liens was more concerned with how to deal with Marvin.

In Marvin's experimental diary, he learned that he was a very important experimental subject for Marvin.

This was because Marvin and he were both possessors of "weak mental talent," making him an excellent control subject for Marvin in this regard.

Marvin, unless he was stupid, would not let his precious experimental subject escape his control.

Therefore, even if he successfully graduated, he might not be able to leave the Training Camp.

This was something he absolutely could not accept.

Moreover, because he acted too normally, he became an anomaly in Marvin's eyes.

Marvin wrote in his diary more than once that he wanted to dissect his brain to study how he resisted the magic flower's abnormalities.

It was only because of his uniqueness, plus the instructor blocking the way, that Marvin temporarily gave up this idea.

However, he couldn't be sure if Marvin would continue to be patient and wait if his performance remained unchanged?

Perhaps he would be dissected by Marvin even before graduation.

Therefore, Marvin must die!

At this moment, Liens's killing intent towards Marvin reached its peak.

...

In the early morning, Liens, who had fought all night in the instance, woke up from his bed. Еnjоying thе stоry? Find mоrе аt

"It's rare for you to wake up on your own. Didn't you sleep well?" Ben teased Liens, who was getting out of bed.

Since Ben became his "human alarm clock," Liens rarely woke up from the instance on his own.

Most of the time, he relied on Ben to wake him up.

So, Liens could only humbly accept Ben's teasing.

"By the way, if possible, I suggest you drink less or try not to drink the Red Potion at noon," Liens advised Ben.

He had already learned the principles and effects of the Stamina Potion from Marvin's books.

Although they were drinking a diluted version, long-term consumption would certainly cause significant damage to their Life essence.

In other words, every single one of them was destined for a short Life.

To live a little longer, he had decided to drink less of the "Red Potion" during future training.

As long as he could endure, he would try not to drink that stuff to restore stamina.

And as a friend, he naturally took the opportunity to remind Ben.

"Hmm, you know about the side effects of that stuff?" Ben said, a little surprised.

"If you want to live longer, listen to me. As long as you can complete training on your own, try not to drink that stuff."

"Even if you have to drink it, it's best to space it out by a few days, or even longer."

Liens solemnly instructed Ben.

"Hmm... I understand." Seeing Liens so serious, Ben also responded earnestly.

Ben didn't ask how Liens knew about such things.

Everyone has their privacy, and not actively intruding on others' privacy is a fundamental principle of friendship.
