149 New Way to Improve Mental Power

“It’s nothing. An idea just struck me. That’s all,” Gu Jun answered vaguely. He thought about it and decided to find out more while he still had the special access granted to him. He turned to ask the command center to send over the carcass of a normal human being and a necro-skin. He just wanted the heads. Everyone was confused, but the command center still moved to oblige while Gu Jun’s group continued with their autopsy. Soon, members from the Action Department came in with two mobile autopsy tables, each carried a head sample.

Gu Jun’s dissection of the zombie stopped. He moved toward the sink in the morgue to clean the scalpel before turning to the head of the normal human.

“What is he up to now?” In the headquarters’ conference room, even the experts like Xiao Huiwen had no idea what was happening. Was Gu Jun going to do a live comparison?

Wang Ruoxiang and the rest did not interrupt Gu Jun with questions but moved to help him. Gu Jun used the same seriousness to mark the incisions and peel back the skin…

It did not take long for the feeling of rejuvenation to leave him and for fatigue to replace it. Gu Jun could feel his eyelids sinking. Then, Gu Jun moved to dissect the head of the Necro-skin. This was the first time he had seen a Necro-skin at such a close distance. This was a highly preserved sample; it was unharmed and untouched. The face still remained roughly human, but the cuticle layer had necrosed, preventing any kind of identification. The lack of facial muscles meant that it was devoid of any human expression as well. Gu Jun sliced off a thin layer of the cuticle, and the rejuvenation sprang forth, warming his heart. Though, the effect was not as strong as when he was dissecting the zombie. This proved that the rejuvenation had more to do with the autopsy of an abnormal creature than the system’s abyssal mission.

‘It only works with abnormal creatures? Why?’ Gu Jun studied the face of the Necro-skin and then turned to observe the canine-face of the zombie. Enlightenment slowly dawned on him. ‘The Necro-skin and zombies are an abnormality in the eyes of human beings, but the inverse is also true. It is the dichotomy between familiarity and unknown, normal and anomaly. Abnormality meant a difference in parts like organs, structure, form, layer… a different life form. But it was all a matter of perspective, and the foreign civilization might not have the same perspective as a human civilization. For example, from the perspective of a mouse, cats might be the cruelest abnormal creature in the world, but isn’t it at the same time a cute house pet for many cat lovers?

‘Human beings referred to these abnormal creatures as monsters, marking them with cruelty, but in the eyes of the foreign civilization, perhaps they were not. Human beings and these abnormal creatures, they are all creations of the Goddess of Life, right? And the Goddess of Life has imparted to them the responsibility to master the truth of life through the autopsy and observation of different life forms…

‘The Carlot Doctors, acting as the emissaries of the Goddess of Life, can thus gain superhuman mental power this way… It could be their reward for lending their services to the Goddess of Life. The increase in mental power can help them approach the understanding and utilization of spells, and that naturally gives them a better affinity with spells compared to normal citizens… Then it would have explained the great respect accorded to the doctors at the foreign civilization and their goal of pursuing the study of medicine to its very end.’

Cai Zixuan shook his head. “Not really, other than the surprising lightness of the scalpel.”

Gu Jun then ushered Wang Ruoxiang over. He knew she had high spirituality too. She had just missed the chance to encounter the anomalies, or else she would be in the same boat as him.

After some procedures, Wang Ruoxiang also shook her head. “There’s nothing special that I feel, but I can see myself getting used to utilizing a scalpel like this.”

Gu Jun could see that for himself. Wang Ruoxiang started carefully, afraid that she might not be able to control the amount of force used, but it did not take long for her incisions to be smooth and masterful again. This proved indirectly that she had the talent to become a Carlot Doctor, but how come she did not feel the sense of rejuvenation?

Perhaps some kind of Carlot technique was needed and he was a special case. Since he had the power of Landon within him, he had technically mastered those Carlot techniques already.

Regardless, Gu Jun had reached a useful conclusion. He could now increase and improve his maximum mental power by performing autopsies on these abnormal creatures using the Carlot Instruments. The result of his last mental power assessment was 75. He believed it might have dropped down to below seventy now due to his exhaustion from evoking the statements summoning the master of R’yleh. However, in the morgue, Gu Jun could feel his mental power recovering. He felt like a new person. This was a welcome discovery! Gu Jun turned to the zombie corpse and a new passion burned in his eyes.

Ganzfeld training could improve one’s mental power, but it was too slow, and the progress would only decrease over time as the subject became more familiar with the experiment. However, Gu Jun now desperately needed stabler mental power, or else a trigger of heavy illusion or casting of a spell might send his heart into shut down again. He needed more mental power!

So, the discovery of a new training method, one that supplemented his own responsibility and the system mission, was a surprising and joyful reward. Behind the mask, Gu Jun’s lips broke into a big grin. No one noticed this, but Wu Siyu on the couch stared straight at him. “Captain, is there anything wrong?”

try { window._mNHandle.queue.push(function () { window._mNDetails.loadTag("386623558", "300x250", "386623558"); }); } catch (error) { }

‘How come it feels like that Dirty-minded Jun is being aroused? Really, here?’
