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

　Professor Cazell gave Dark a wink.

　Dac then took out "Into the Abyss" which he had hidden behind his back and brought it to his face.

　Without any prompting, Angus Jeffrey saw the book again.

　Professor Cazell asked again, "When did you acquire this book?"

　Angus Jeffrey answered without hesitation, "Late September."

　Late September?

　Professor Cazell frowned and asked, "Can you confirm the exact time?"

　Angus Jeffrey seemed very cooperative: "Let me think...it was probably September 18th. I was looking for information in the library when I suddenly came across this book, and then I borrowed it from the library. Is there anything wrong with this book?"

　“Kazel?” Professor Sylph suddenly spoke up.

　Professor Cazell's brow furrowed deeply.

　After a moment's thought, Dak realized the crux of the problem.

　Cameron Maysfield found "Into the Abyss" at the beginning of the school year, on September 3rd.

　Fifteen days later, "Into the Abyss" suddenly disappeared. That was on September 18th!

　If Angus Jeffrey also found "Into the Abyss" on September 18th, then it basically proves that there was no third party between him and Cameron Maysfield.

　But without this third party, how can we explain the origin of the "brain fluid demon"?

　It can't just appear out of thin air!

　……

　After careful consideration, Professor Cazell asked again, "Have you shared the contents of the book with anyone else, or lent the book to anyone else?"

　Angus Jeffrey slowly shook his head: "How could I possibly show it to anyone else?"

　Professor Cazell pressed further, "Has it remained in your possession until today?"

　Angus Jeffrey nodded. "Yes. But it's just a book, isn't it? Although it contains some methods for cultivating demons, the school rules don't prohibit cultivating demons. And I only cultivated some body parts as materials... Wait, I think I forgot something?"

　Professor Kazel explained, "That book was made from the skin of a 'Book Eater.' Once the holder changes, the knowledge within is completely erased from the book through photocopying, replication, and even thought processes; only the holder can remember it."

　Angus Jeffrey instantly understood, and his gaze toward Dark Dimon became more ferocious.

　He finally realized why the book was in Dark Dimon's hands—Dark Dimon had stolen it!

　……

　Darke ignored Angus Jeffrey's gaze; he was rapidly deducing based on Professor Cazell's questions.

　Professor Cazell possesses the ability to read minds, and Angus Jeffrey cannot hide his lies from him.

　Therefore, we can assume that everything he said is true.

　Similarly, it can be concluded that the information provided by Cameron Maysfield is also true.

　So, this book, "Into the Abyss," has been in their hands since September 3rd.

　Neither Cameron Maysfield nor Angus Jeffrey successfully bred a complete "Cerebrolysm".

　So who exactly cultivated the "brain fluid demon" that parasitizes Fern Morse's brain?

　In conclusion, Darkl deduced three possibilities.

　① There is more than one book titled "Into the Abyss".

　② "Into the Abyss" existed much earlier and belonged to other people.

　③Someone obtained the method for cultivating "Brain Fluid Demon" from other places.

　Until the incident is fully investigated, any of these three possibilities are possible.

　……

　While pondering, Dak suddenly thought of something and looked up, saying, "Professor, ask where his laboratory is?"

　Professor Cazell did not repeat the year; he simply looked at Angus Jeffrey, awaiting his answer.

　But Angus Jeffrey looked puzzled and asked, "A laboratory? What laboratory? A place for alchemy experiments?"

　Professor Kazel nodded slightly.

　Angus Jeffrey asked in confusion, "I usually borrow the laboratory room to conduct experiments."

　Professor Kazel frowned and asked, "Then where is the material used to cultivate demons?"

　Angus Jeffrey casually replied, "Of course..."

　At this point, his face suddenly turned pale, and he said, "I forgot!"

　……

　“Professor?” Dark looked at Professor Kazel.

　Professor Cazell nodded slightly at him.

　This confirms once again that Angus Jeffrey was not lying.

　He really forgot!

　No, he doesn't seem to have ever thought about this question.

　Professor Kazel's eyes gleamed.

　During this conversation, he actually gained more information than he could have on the surface.

　"Jeffrey, you should take a rest."

　Professor Cazell helped Angus Jeffrey lie down again, then led the professors out of the room.

　They regrouped in the outer room, and Professor Cazell's face gradually turned serious.

　Professor Sylph asked, "What did you see?"

　Professor Cazell said, "Angus Jeffrey recalled a lot of things when answering questions, and I saw something strange in it."

　Lily's eyes immediately lit up, and she asked, "What's strange?"

　Professor Cazell said, "The 'Book Eaters' only take memories related to the contents of books. But Jeffrey has forgotten quite a lot."

　He then began to explain in detail.

　Dak listened carefully, but the more he listened, the more something seemed off, and his gaze grew increasingly serious.

　As mentioned earlier, Angus Jeffrey forgot where his laboratory, which he used to cultivate demons, was located.

　But he forgot more than that; he also forgot when and where he created those new magic cards.

　In his memory, those magic cards seemed to have appeared out of thin air, but he had no doubts whatsoever.

　Do not……

　He has a solid collection of materials and memories of reviewing "Into the Abyss".

　But I don't have the memory of when I created those magical spirit cards!

　"what on earth is it?"

　"Dark couldn't help but ask."

　But the professors looked at each other, unable to figure it out for a moment.

　Professor Mitya, who had been observing, suddenly said, "Originally, if 'Into the Abyss' were still in Angus Jeffrey's hands, we could have investigated it."

　Professor Cazell countered, "That was the book's autonomous action."

　Professor Mitis blinked and chuckled, "I was just saying, if."

　"Alright, stop arguing." Professor Sylph frowned. "We need to think this through carefully; this might be the key to breaking through the fog. Is it possible that his memories have simply been altered?"

　Professor Cazell said, "His brain does show signs of erosion, but they are not deep. If large segments of memory were modified or deleted, the traces would be very obvious. Of course, my research on the brain is not in-depth, and it is possible that my conclusions are wrong."

　“Modify…delete…” Dark’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, “Is it possible that we simply don’t know?”

　Professor Cazell asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

　Dark said, "If those contents were not originally in his memory, then naturally there would be no trace of modification or deletion."

　"You mean..." Professor Kazel's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately said, "You mean, he cultivated demons and created magical spirits without his knowledge?"

　Dark nodded, then added, "It's just a hypothesis."

　Professor Sylph said, "That is indeed a possibility. If so, it could explain the origin of the 'Cerebrolysm.' Perhaps Angus Jeffrey did indeed implant the 'Cerebrolysm' into Fern Morse's brain without his knowledge. That's why even Cazell couldn't tell the difference."

　Professor Mitia looked at the book in Dark's hand, squinted and smiled, "You mean, this book did everything? It manipulated Angus Jeffrey to cultivate demons and create magical spirit cards without his consciousness?"

　Professor Sylph frowned and said, "I do have that suspicion."

　Professor Mitya said, "Have you ever thought that if this book can be nurtured and refined on its own, why would it need to select anyone? It can do everything itself, right?"

　Professor Sylph said, "We don't know the book's specific capabilities at the moment. Perhaps it needs something to rely on in order to do something."

　Professor Mitis shook her head and said, "It's the same problem. If it just needs something to depend on, there's no need to be picky; it can just pick anyone. But it has now abandoned Angus and set its sights on Dark."

Chapter 706

　Faced with Professor Mitia's explanation, Professor Sylph frowned again and asked, "So why was this book chosen for Dark?"

　"Perhaps it's because I defeated Jeffrey in the duel?" Dark casually offered an excuse, not wanting the professors to continue discussing this issue.

　"PAPAPA!"

　Professor Cazell clapped his hands, signaling a pause in the debate.

　Then he raised his wand and said thoughtfully, "The possibility you raised is actually not difficult to verify."

　Dark lowered his head and asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

　Professor Kazel smiled and said, "Whether or not he was conscious, he was indeed cultivating demons and using them to create Magical Spirit Cards. Otherwise, that deck wouldn't exist. And since this fact exists, we can trace it back."

　Dark's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "I understand. Whether it's cultivating demons or refining magical spirit cards, both require time and space. We can't get the location of the experimental site from Jeffrey for the time being. But we can deduce when he conducted the experiment by talking to him."

　Professor Cazell nodded and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll be right back."

　After saying this, he turned and went into the inner room, where Sister Caryan woke Angus Jeffrey, who had just fallen asleep.

　……

　Fifteen minutes later, Professor Cazell came out again, with a slight smile on his face.

　Clearly, he already had the answer.

　Dak and the others immediately stopped their discussion and all looked at him.

　Professor Cazell sat down in the chair and said, “I asked Jeffrey about his schedule. Basically, he goes to sleep between 10 and 11 p.m. every night and gets up between 7 and 7:30 a.m..”

　"He didn't stay up all night?" Dark asked in surprise.

　Jeffrey's dark circles are so big and obvious, aren't they badges of honor for staying up all night studying?

　Professor Cazell smiled and said, "I've endured it."

　The professors suddenly exchanged glances and then understood.

　Professor Cazell continued, "He gets plenty of sleep every night. But he wakes up the next morning feeling very tired and his complexion gradually worsens. He is completely unaware of the problem and thinks it's normal. This shift in his mindset was probably influenced by that book... but we won't go into details. In short, he was clearly conducting the experiment while asleep."

　Professor Lily interjected, "Does this look like sleepwalking?"

　Professor Cazell shook his head and said, "It's more like they've been manipulated."

　Professor Mitya smirked and said, "Then we come back to the original question. If all that's needed is a subject to be manipulated, then the book 'Into the Abyss' doesn't need to be picky at all; any student will do."

　“You’re right,” Professor Cazell agreed. “So, assuming he wasn’t being manipulated, a second possibility arises—he possesses a second consciousness!”

　……

　One soul, two consciousnesses.

　It sounds mysterious, but in layman's terms, it's what's known as "split personality".

　Of course, this is slightly different from simple "split personality".

　Based on the above information, Professor Cazell deduced that Angus Jeffrey possessed "two consciousnesses".

　When the first consciousness falls asleep, the second consciousness will awaken.
