The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　The rich aroma of black tea gradually filled the office as the steam rose.

　Witt Gold finally opened his eyes when he had drunk less than half a cup of the new tea.

　Dak glanced into his eyes and knew that this was not a "second consciousness".

　Professor Sylph then asked seriously, "Did it succeed?"

　Witt Gold nodded and said, "I can summon it."

　Professor Sylph asked, "Do you know what it is?"

　Witt Gold then inhaled and said, "It is my second personality. I'm sorry I didn't realize its existence before. I will take responsibility for the mistakes I've made."

　Professor Sylph said, "It's good that it has this awareness. What about its attitude?"

　"It's peaceful and reasonable," said Witt Gold. "If the professor wants to ask any questions, I can temporarily relinquish control of this body to it."

　“Hmm,” Professor Sylph responded, “Then call it out.”

　“Okay.” Witt Gold closed his eyes again.

　This time, just a few seconds later, he opened his eyes again, his dark pupils dilated slightly outward, and the proportion of white in his eyes became less than normal.

　This change was not obvious, but both Dark and Professor Sylph had already noticed it.

　That "second consciousness" finally reappeared after the period of autism.

　……

　Everyone paused for a moment.

　They all stopped what they were doing and looked at Witt Gold.

　Hephaestus Doragon's expression remained predominantly curious.

　Ophelia Brad's eyes, however, had sharpened.

　Professor Sylph and Dark's expressions did not change much.

　After opening its eyes, the "second consciousness" did not make any outrageous moves, but instead cautiously observed everyone present from the opposite direction.

　Professor Sylph looked at "Magical Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye," which then formed a shape with its index finger and thumb.

　Professor Sylph then asked, "How shall I address you?"

　The second consciousness naturally frowned and said, "Professor Sylph, I am Witt!"

　Professor Sylph smiled and said, "Yes, I know, it's a second personality."

　Her usually serious face suddenly melted like ice, blossoming into a bright and dazzling smile.

　This change was so abrupt that it left people completely unable to react.

　This second consciousness did not completely deceive Werther; at least when Werther controlled his body, he was indeed able to freely observe the outside world as an observer.

　But whether it was the memory copied from Witt's brain when he was first born, or the memories that continued to accumulate afterward, he had never seen Sarah Sylph smile so brightly.

　After a very brief moment of stunned silence, a sharp, piercing pain suddenly shot through his mind—he had a very ominous premonition!

　Almost instantly, this second consciousness reacted immediately, and the pupils in its eyes suddenly contracted, clearly indicating that it wanted to escape.

　However, the next second, an incredulous look appeared on its face, and then a murderous aura emanated from the corner of its eyes. Dark magic power shot out like electricity, and it suddenly sprang up and pounced on the stack of magic cards on the table.

　"Ah."

　Professor Sylph simply tapped her hand, and a sudden gust of wind swept through the office, causing the paper documents on the desk to rustle. Witt Gold's bangs were blown upwards, and the wind, which had transformed into ropes, suddenly tightened, binding his body tightly.

　It was suspended in mid-air, unable to move any further.

　……

　At this moment, in addition to those with a second consciousness, many people also showed surprise.

　Dark was equally surprised, but when he turned his gaze, he saw that Sister Carian was already smiling, and Professor Mitia was equally confident.

　It is clear that Professor Sylph's behavior was not a sudden act, but rather a premeditated one.

　The only people who should know about her plan are Sister Carian and Professor Mitis...

　"Hey, can I come in?"

　Lily Laplace poked her head out from the ceiling.

　Dak's eyebrows twitched.

　Well, probably worried that Professor Lily might lose her composure, they assigned her a task of keeping watch outside.

　Looking at the second consciousness, it was bound in mid-air by Professor Sylph and could not resist. The only thing it could reach was Witt God's own card bag.

　However, it did not choose to use Witt God's own magic cards in the battle from the beginning, and by the time it wanted to choose again, it was already too late.

　Half a minute later, it seemed to finally realize that it could not escape, and gradually calmed down, a look of confusion on its face: "Why?"

　"Why what?" Professor Sylph asked slowly. "Why were you captured? Why couldn't you escape? Or why don't you believe you are Witt's second personality?"

　The second consciousness, pale as a ghost, forced a smile and said, "Even if you don't believe me, it's true. I know I made a mistake because of my radicalism. But that was only to achieve victory. I need to become stronger, stronger than Dark, to defeat him, to cross that threshold—it's the only way! Okay, I know I was wrong, I'll change, Professor!"

　Seeing that Professor Sylph remained completely unmoved, it struggled, turned its head sharply to look at "Blood Princess" Ophelia Brad, and cried out in anguish, "Mom!"

　But all that shone in Ophelia Brad's eyes was murderous intent!

　The pupils of my second consciousness contracted sharply, knowing that I had no chance of escaping.

　It immediately stopped acting, its face turning icy cold, but the magic power within its body surged wildly under its control, attempting to break free from the shackles of the Wind Lock.

　But Professor Sylph immediately picked out a magic card and quickly recited it.

　Three seconds later, three transparent needles emerged from the card. Under her control, they shot out and pierced its brow, heart, and dantian one by one.

　After that, light rays connected the three long needles, forming a triangle.

　Then the second consciousness suddenly realized that it could no longer mobilize the magic power within its body.

　His limbs were bound, and his magic was suppressed.

　It is completely beyond saving.

　……

　"boom!"

　Witt Gold was thrown back into the chair.

　The second consciousness stared desperately, it hadn't completely given up.

　Despite its limbs being bound and its magic suppressed, it still had a mouth.

　Since it can speak, it can use its words to try and gain a chance at survival.

　It all happened so suddenly that it hasn't fully recovered yet, and it can't even understand why Professor Sylph treated it this way.

　Just as Dark deduced, it didn't actually know its own identity; it was just a pitiful, brain-dead little thing.

　……

　"Professor Sylph, may we speak now?"

　After a brief silence, it was Ophelia Brad who asked first.

　She must be desperate to know everything she can.

　But Professor Sylph shook her head and said, "No rush, let's ask Dark's magical spirit first."

　But as she looked at "Magical Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye," Dark asked curiously, "Could you first explain how you fixed its consciousness?"

　“Let me explain,” Sister Kallian chuckled. “I did the consciousness-removal surgery on Angus Jeffrey with Professor Cazell, so I gained some experience. While Witt Godd’s second consciousness is very similar to Angus Jeffrey’s, they are not entirely the same. Body, soul, consciousness. Angus Jeffrey’s second consciousness is just that—a second consciousness. Like his main consciousness, it is attached to the same soul. But Witt Godd is different; his soul has also split.”

　"What's going on?" Ophelia Brad asked anxiously.

　Sister Kallian glanced at her and said, "It can't be called a split. In his current state, it's possible that two souls merged into one and then split in two. We can give an example..."

　As she spoke, she picked up two sheets of white paper from the table, folded them together, and said, "Victor God's current soul state is like these two sheets of paper. They were folded together, turning from two into one, and then..."

　Then, with a little force, she slowly tore the two pieces of white paper that were stacked together apart, starting from the middle, leaving only a small joint.

　“Like this,” she said, “his soul split into two parts. Then there were two consciousnesses, each attached to one of them.”

　This explanation was so simple and easy to understand that even Dak understood it immediately.

　But her words only made things worse. Now that she had said them, Ophelia Brad understood completely and murmured, "So deeply intertwined, how can we separate them?"

　"There will always be a way," Sister Kallian said nonchalantly.

　But if you look closely, you'll find excitement hidden deep in her eyes.

　Inside a new white mouse—

　……

　Sister Kallian continued, “Once this conclusion is reached, it means that as long as its soul is pinned down, it cannot escape. Consciousness is invisible, but the soul is tangible. Unless it can break free from the shackles of the soul and continue to live as pure consciousness. But obviously, it cannot do that. That is the privilege of the gods.”

　……

　She spoke of it casually, but even just nailing the soul to one's head is not something an ordinary person can do.

　Moreover, her technique was so subtle that even bystanders couldn't see her make a move.

　"What did this person with such abilities do to be expelled from the Holy Church?"

　Dark thought to himself somewhat blankly.

　He didn't ask any more questions after that, fearing that asking too many details would give his second consciousness a way to break the spell.

　He turned to "Fantasy Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" and said, "Now, tell me everything you've seen."

　"Fantasy Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" calmly recounts everything it "saw" from beginning to end.

　From the moment he was summoned, not a single thought of Witt Gaudí's mind escaped its observation.

　From the moment that second consciousness took the initiative to make contact with Witt God, their communication also could not escape its perception!

　In other words, the mental dialogue between that second consciousness and Witt Gaudí, as well as its thoughts at that time, have actually been exposed.

　"Fantasy Beasts: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" explains this part in great detail.

　As the second consciousness listened, sweat beaded on its forehead, and flames roared in its eyes as it looked at "Magical Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye".

　……

　After some time, everyone present, including Eve, Ollie, and Hephaestus, had gained a more concrete understanding of the events.

　The dialogue between the Second Consciousness and Witt God, a mix of truth and falsehood, is indeed very easy to entice.

　But its inner thoughts at that time completely exposed itself.

　It did indeed sprout after Christmas last year, which perfectly matches Dark's prediction in terms of timing.

　When it first sprouts, it is a blank slate.

　Nothing, including memories.

　What helped it acquire cognition was Werther's memory.

　It replicated Werther's memories, thus gaining the most basic understanding and being influenced by Werther's thinking, becoming what it called "a personality that wants to overcome everything."

　Of course, it is not a multiple personality disorder, but a consciousness with its own soul, just like "Yami Yugi".

　But his way of thinking is ultimately different from Werther's.

　It absorbs all the intelligence and information that Werther can access from the perspective of an "observer," but gradually develops an understanding that is completely different from Werther's.

　It thinks 24 hours a day and easily perceives a lot of information that Werther was completely unaware of.

　One such fact is that the Demon King's blood flows through Victor's body.

　Shortly after realizing this, this second consciousness suddenly discovered that it had some memories it didn't have before—memories about some of the methods of cultivating demons!

　At first, those memories were so few that they didn't attract its attention.

　But as time passed and its memories accumulated, it became aware that something was happening.

　Eventually, it understood!

　It truly understands!

　It not only understood where those memories came from, but also understood why it was born!

　Those memories are brought about by the blood of the Demon King!
