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

　In the absence of Professor Cazell, they can only rely on Sister Caryan to conduct collaborative research with Professor Steven Harvey.

　In short, let's look at Professor Harvey's diagnosis first, and then discuss other things.

　But as they talked, they inexplicably reached a consensus and decided to all go to Professor Steven Harvey's dormitory together.

　"We're all just bystanders..."

　Dark sighed inwardly; no one wanted to be left out, and everyone wanted to know how things were developing as soon as possible.

　In the end, they all didn't want to leave!

　Of course, there are also people like Ophelia Brad who genuinely care about Witt's condition.

　In any case, they concealed their movements and soon arrived at Professor Steven Harvey's dormitory.

　It was nearly midnight, and the night was incredibly deep. But for Professor Steven Harvey, it was just the beginning of a new day.

　He looked very energetic when he opened the door.

　Those who meet Professor Steven Harvey for the first time are usually surprised. No one would expect that the short old man in pink pajamas and a nightcap would be the necromancer who plays with corpses and souls.

　But Dark was already very familiar with him.

　Professor Steven Harvey was as kind and approachable as ever, even somewhat endearing. Aside from his jokes being a bit corny, he was extremely easy to get along with.

　"Dimon, what's up? Hmm, there's a little guy over here who looks like he's in trouble. Oh, isn't that the little bat? What are you doing here again? This little guy over here, oh, it's a tiny bat!"

　Ophelia Brad looked slightly embarrassed and quickly said, "Professor Harvey, I'm no longer a vampire."

　“I know you’re a vampire, so there’s not much difference.” Professor Harvey waved his hand, his gaze completely drawn to Vittor God.

　Although Witt Gold was still encased in the Cocoon of Wind, that obstacle was nothing to Professor Harvey.

　“Choose three people to come in. You used ‘invisible needles’ to pin his soul down. Is something wrong? Has his soul grown legs and is trying to escape?” he said, turning around.

　“It doesn’t have legs, but it has an extra head.” Darke walked into the room.

　Professor Sylph then crossed the threshold—but after a moment's thought, she handed Witt God to Sister Carian and went back.

　Sister Kallian nodded slightly and led Victor into the room.

　Then Ophelia Brad followed immediately.

　After the three entered, Professor Sylph closed the door and waited outside with the others.

　Professor Steven Harvey's bedroom was his laboratory, and too many people entering would make the laboratory crowded and messy.

　As he walked inside, he asked Dak about the specific situation.

　In just a few words, Dak gave a rather abstract description of how Witte grew a second head.

　Professor Steven Harvey, who was quite experienced in this area, always treated the symptoms rather than the underlying cause: "I see, the two souls have merged? So, do you want to save the smaller one or the larger one? I mean, it's unlikely you can save both. I have a lot of experience with cutting off souls; the overlapping part cannot be cut off. Otherwise, whether it's the larger or the smaller one, it will result in paralysis. Do you understand this situation? It's like a person having two heads growing on their neck; you can only choose to cut off one head from the neck, not divide the body in half. This should be easy to understand."

　Because it was so easy to understand, Ophelia Brad froze.

　Sister Kallian paused for a moment before asking, "Professor Harvey, can that severed head breathe?"

　Professor Harvey chuckled, "Hey, just having a head doesn't necessarily mean it's dead. We can just put it in a jar. What? Such low expectations?"

　Dark interjected helplessly, "The basic requirement is that he doesn't die. If possible, he should be able to speak, and ideally, his brain should still be functioning. We need him to guide us. Also, don't get it wrong, the one outside right now is the one that needs to be cut off."

　Professor Harvey said, "Don't worry, I'm not an executioner. I'll check beforehand. Put him on the bed first. I need to do a thorough check and see what's going on before drawing any conclusions."

　……

　[I fell asleep and couldn't finish writing before midnight, but thankfully it wasn't too late, so it's not a big problem. I wrote less in the first few days of the month, but I made up for it in the middle. I hope I can hold on for the second half of the month. The reward for updates is for the monthly settlement, and the final reward will be calculated by deducting 4000 words from the number of days in the month. I've already surpassed 100,000 words, and one more update will almost complete my minimum requirement for this month (28 days). After that, it'll be time to make up for lost time, ヽノ.]

　[Also, I have a very pressing problem that needs to be solved right now: what should the Demon King's name be?]

Chapter 733 Restraint Device

　Professor Steven Harvey's bedroom was excessively clean, and the room used for experiments gave off the feeling of a modern operating room, completely out of place with the outside environment.

　Sister Kallian, following his instructions, moved Vittor Godd's body onto the snow-white experimental bed. Then, with a flick of her finger, she conjured a blade with magic and carefully sliced along the wind cocoon that enveloped Vittor Godd.

　As the wind threads on the Cocoon of Wind broke one by one, Witt Gaudí's body finally appeared.

　Professor Steven Harvey glanced at the three long needles pinning his magical veins, then looked at the "invisible nail" pinning his soul to his head, and exclaimed, "Excellent technique."

　“Professor Harvey, should we untie it?” Sister Kallian asked.

　Professor Steven Harvey casually drew a magic card, silently summoned a pair of magic gloves, and said, "Wait until I'm ready."

　As soon as he finished speaking, he entered the state of mind. He first lightly touched the face of Witt Gold, causing Witt Gold's body, which had been trembling slightly after falling asleep, to suddenly freeze, as if it were a corpse.

　Then he took out various magical items and arranged them on the experimental bed using magic cards.

　Once Sister Kallian removed the "Anti-Magic Needle" and the "Invisible Nail," magic circles lit up on the experimental bed, replacing the functions of the "Anti-Magic Needle" and the "Invisible Nail" one by one.

　While Professor Steven Harvey's explanation was quite interesting, Witt Gold's soul state was actually very complicated.

　Once the restraints are loosened, allowing the second consciousness—the Demon King's soul—to overlap with Vitor God's soul again, even Professor Steven Harvey would find it difficult to separate them intact.

　Fortunately, Dark and the others had successfully lured out the Demon King's soul, which saved them a lot of trouble.

　However, the subsequent detailed inspection was still very tedious.

　A full half hour later, Professor Steven Harvey finally raised his hand and exclaimed, "I've lived long enough to witness such a remarkable life."

　Dark watched Professor Steven Harvey's actions from beginning to end. Although he didn't understand, he still asked, "What's going on?"

　Ophelia Brad also said nervously, "Professor Harvey..."

　Professor Steven Harvey shook his head and said, "Even I, a necromancer, have never seen anything like this before."

　Of the three who accompanied them, only Sister Kallian could understand part of it. She frowned and said, "This demon... its second consciousness actually originated from the soul of Witt God?"

　Upon hearing this, Ophelia Brad immediately understood, her face paling slightly as she exclaimed in surprise, "How is this possible?"

　Dark Dimon, confused, asked, "Wait, what's going on?"

　Professor Steven Harvey patiently explained, “At first, I thought it was due to another soul invading, parasitizing, or merging, but that's not the case. You can imagine that the second consciousness grew out of Witt Goddard's soul. And according to its growth trend, under normal circumstances, it should have absorbed Goddard's soul power as nutrients for growth, eventually drying it up and blossoming on its own, replacing Goddard's soul. It shouldn't be this forked situation. However, although the form has changed, the essence has not.”

　Dak frowned slightly, finally clearing his mind.

　If we compare Werther God's soul to a head, then the second consciousness is like a seed planted inside that head. This seed absorbs the head's power, takes root, and speaks, until it bursts through the top of the head and blossoms.

　At that time, Witt's God's soul will be completely devoured, and the Demon King's soul will "usurp" it.

　Before that, they were actually intertwined, each containing the other.

　The difference is that, under normal circumstances, a Demon King reincarnation can only maintain one consciousness from the beginning, but now it retains two consciousnesses.

　Furthermore, even among the Demon King's soul that has now branched out, there is a portion of Witt's soul.

　In short, the fusion between the Demon King's soul and Werther's soul was several times stronger than Professor Steven Harvey's initial impression!

　If the branched portion of the Demon King's soul is cut off, the small part of the soul belonging to Wit that was fused with it will also be cut off.

　When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed!

　……

　"I can make the move."

　After a long pause, Professor Steven Harvey finally spoke.

　"But this level of soul-severing experiment requires not only technology, but also time. It will be an extremely long process."

　The ability to cut, split, and glue souls is a fundamental skill of necromancers.

　Given enough time, even a soul that has been fused into a lump of mush can be gradually cut apart and separated.

　Even so, a soul pieced together will shatter like glass at the slightest touch if it's too fragmented during the cutting process. But if there's no other way, then so be it.

　“What if…” Dark hesitated.

　Professor Steven Harvey said kindly, "What are your thoughts? Feel free to share them."

　Dark then said, "Since the second consciousness can grow by absorbing the nutrients from Werther's soul, what about the reverse? Can Werther's soul devour the second consciousness?"

　Professor Steven Harvey nodded in approval: "I've thought of that idea before. But for some reason, that second consciousness, despite being born later, seems to have a higher order than Witt Godd's soul. It's difficult for the inferior to overcome the superior."

　Dark lowered his head in thought: "Is that so?"

　But it seems that this is indeed the only possible situation.

　In comparison to the Demon King, Vitor God is essentially just a vessel. Although various unforeseen factors have led to their current coexistence, there is absolutely no reason for the vessel to devour its master.

　This might explain why the demon king's soul seemed to have a higher degree of control over his body than Witt's.

　But this makes things even more difficult!

　“We need to discuss this situation,” Dark said.

　……

　They then went out of the dormitory to explain their conclusions to Professor Sylph and others who were waiting outside, and continued their discussions.

　"It wasn't as smooth as I expected." Professor Sylph glanced at Professor Mitia, her eyes filled with reproach.

　Professor Mitya rolled her eyes and said, "What are you looking at? I'm just making a prediction."

　Professor Sylph turned to Ophelia Brad and said, "If this is true, you might have to be prepared for the Demon King's soul and Witte's soul to coexist forever."

　Ophelia Brad's face was ashen.

　Sister Kallian comforted her, "Actually, all we need to do is seal away that part of the Demon King's consciousness, right?"

　Ophelia Brad slowly shook her head: "I know better than anyone how terrifying the Demon King is. He is like a leech, and unless he is completely eradicated, simply sealing him is not enough."

　Professor Sylph frowned and said, "Then let's wait for Kazel."

　……

　A moment later, Dak and the other two went back into the dormitory.
