Chapter 47: The Madness of the Witch

As a scientific research race, witches are quite thorough and crazy about their own research.

They are capable of doing things like blowing themselves up for experimental data, forcing their souls to stay in the real world for experiments until their souls almost dissipated and they actually died, let alone autopsies.

Witches who are obsessed with research can even cut off their own heads and slice them.

Well, even without a head, they can still get high.

Relying on the magical connection, the witch can even keep thinking even when her brain has been cut into pieces. The undead vampire called her an expert.

Every year, countless witches kill themselves because of their research, so the ones who go to hell most often to rescue people are not the sages in charge of the battlefield, but those who are in charge of the city of scientific research.

Don’t get me wrong, sages rarely get into accidents not because they are more rational when doing research and have a lower accident rate, but simply because they are less likely to die.

So when Jiang Cha searched for papers related to Witch Brain, he was almost scared to death by the densely packed projects.

There were so many scary titles, such as “Research Report on the Acid Resistance of Brain Cells”, “Thinking Overclocking Experiment”, “The Ultimate Survival Time in a Magic-Deficient Brain”, etc., that the girl almost suspected that the witch race was crazy to do such outrageous and cruel things.

But this rich research material did provide her with a lot of knowledge.

In the world she knew, such things related to the brain would be out of the question. Humans of that era had not even solved the mystery of the human brain. Even if they gave the witch’s brain to them for research, they would be completely in the dark.

Let’s get back to the topic.

For a witch, the brain is also the most important organ, and the concentration of infection contained in the knowledge about it cannot be too low. Even though Jiang Cha has been quite concise and only picked out twenty papers from the vast sea of ​​papers, it still took her a full week to read them all.

“A paper is 300,000 words long. Are you writing a book or a paper?”

Rubbing her temples, the girl complained unhappily.

After drinking a bottle of spiritual potion, Jiang Cha closed his eyes and continued to organize his thoughts.

The idea of ​​directly constructing a magic brain and then building a temporary thinking circuit on it can be abandoned directly. Even if this kind of magic is developed, it will definitely start from high-level magic, which is completely beyond the girl’s current ability.

The witch’s brain is too complicated. Jiang Cha had previously used the remaining “common sense” as a benchmark to think that she could directly construct one. It was not difficult for her to replicate the human brain one-to-one.

But not the witch’s.

This mixed operation mechanism of magic signals and electrical signals, and the more complex brain structure and mechanism distinction, directly increase the difficulty of replication by more than an order of magnitude.

Instead of multiplying two by two, this is just raising one number to the exponent of another.

Even if we try our best to optimize the unnecessary parts, it is not something that Jiangcha can replicate.

At this point, the girl’s magic development could have been declared a failure. It was impossible to create something, so why waste time?

But another research paper, “The Correlation between Thinking Circuits and the Soul,” saved this precarious project.

“The area that depicts thought circuits is not the brain cells, but somewhere above that, in another dimension—the soul.”

The overall idea of ​​this report can be summed up in just one sentence, and all the content that follows is a discussion of the principles and mechanisms.

And one issue was also highlighted.

That is, the witch’s talents and characteristics are actually recorded in the soul.

The experimental team also tested the witch’s talents, characteristics, and thought circuits in her original state, soul form, and when her soul was parasitic in other organisms.

It was then discovered that the effects of matter on these three items were negligible.

The witch who served as an experimental body, even though she was parasitic in the body of a monkey with no magic power, her characteristics and talents were functioning normally, but her magic power was greatly reduced.

But with the provision of various resources, she gradually transformed the monkey’s body into that of a witch!

The soul in turn influences the body.

Traits, talents, and thought processes are all engraved on the soul. These two conclusions gave Jiang Cha new inspiration.

“If the soul is a higher-dimensional being, how does the inscription on the brain affect the soul?”

The answer is simple.

It’s cognition.

The soul is something invisible and intangible. It is unstable and, like magic, is easily affected by the outside world.

As time passes, the soul of a completely dead sage will be reincarnated into an ordinary soul.

The body is the shell that protects and imprisons it.

The body and soul constitute life. The self-consciousness born from life changes the body through behavior and changes the soul through cognition.

The ultimate goal of spiritual magic is the transformation and upgrading of the soul. The great sages have already proven these theories, but they just haven’t directly put them forward in the past.

Then it is very simple to summarize the principles of how the witch developed her thinking circuits in the past.

The act of carving inscriptions in the brain is actually more like giving a strong hint to one’s own cognition. Coupled with the miraculous effect of magic, the soul also simultaneously carves out a thinking circuit.

“Really? The witch style is mysterious and rough.”

The problem doesn’t end here.

The thought circuits in the soul also rely on magic to operate and are also affected by magic interference.

But compared to before, the difficulty of developing this magic has been greatly reduced.

“Master, if you already knew this, why didn’t you just tell me directly?”

After figuring everything out, Jiang Cha called Motel directly. The girl with a bitter face had a slight complaint in her tone.

“Shh~”

Drinking prostitutes in the red-light district, Myrtle calmly made a silencing gesture to the disheveled little witch beside him who couldn’t afford to put on her clothes, picked up the wine glass, leaned lazily on the sofa and took a sip.

“The path to developing magic is something you have to go through. If you always need my help, why don’t you do it myself?”

“That’s growing up, girl.”

“Actually, you’re just lazy, right?”

Jiang Cha doesn’t believe this guy’s nonsense.

She had directly told herself to look for the answers in brain research papers, and there was no such thing as the necessary path to growth.

She was definitely in a hurry to have some drinks and was just trying to please people.

“Ahem…disciple, sometimes giving your master some face is the key to being a good person.”

“Yes, yes, I know~”

The girl nodded, looked down at the communication, stretched out her voice and waited. The moment she raised her head, an exceptionally sweet and sunny smile suddenly appeared on her face.

“Hmm—ok~ I’ve sent the screenshot to Sister Jasmine. I wish Master a pleasant evening~?”

“You little bastard…!”

The girl hung up the phone before Myrtle could finish his anxious words.

“Huh~”

He stretched hard, opened the curtains and looked at the dark night sky.

“So cool~”
