Luke actually didn't understand why such an important test would turn into an experiment.
No matter how important or terrible this experiment is, the culprit is still the culprit. The main responsibilities and tasks will not be withheld from him. The psychological burden won't be that heavy.
If you pay very little but get a lot, then the danger of this matter itself is the invisible payment.
Luke looked around, and he really didn't see any other hints of passing the test. Then following in Slytherin's footsteps is probably the only thing he can do.
"What are you still dawdling about? Are you waiting for me to invite you?"
Slytherin started urging again with a somewhat impatient tone.
"I'll be right over." Luke no longer hesitated, or in other words, he knew very well that hesitation had no meaning. But we still need to be vigilant. After all, he didn't know how dangerous this test was. But thinking about it, it probably wouldn't kill him.
By the time Luke walked to the test table, Slytherin had already started to move. He casually gave some of the information in his hand to Luke, and then said, "Read it quickly. After reading it, come over and help me."
Luke did not rush to look at the information in his hand, but first focused his attention on Slytherin's experiments.
Just one glance made him frown tightly.
Lying on the experimental table is a monkey. A very, very ordinary monkey with no traces of magic flowing on its body. Obviously, this monkey is not a magical animal.
Of course, such an experiment is not worth mentioning, but when combined with the surrounding experimental instruments, it looks a bit weird. In addition to normal surgical supplies such as knives, scissors, needles, and threads, Slytherin also prepared many things commonly used in magic experiments. Obviously, the transformation experiment on this monkey here is definitely not a simple matter.
So Luke turned to look at the research materials in his hand. Just after a quick look, his breathing became heavier. He raised his head and looked at Slytherin in shock.
"You want to transform Muggles into wizards?!"
Luke felt like the old guy in front of him was a madman. It is not that no one has thought about this kind of thing, but as long as you think about the consequences of this experiment and the price to be paid to complete the experiment, basically no one is interested in this research.
Even if we put aside the inevitable human experiments, there are still some ways to reduce such losses as much as possible. But even the relationship between mixed-blood wizards, Muggle wizards, and pure-blood wizards is in a tense situation. If you add a group of guys who were not wizards originally, but were transformed into wizards...
Damn it's better not to have this happen.
It's not that Luke doesn't want to complete a transformation and achieve reconciliation between the wizarding world and the non-wizarding world. However, such an approach would put the wizards into a situation where they were already at a numerical disadvantage and would once again not have an overwhelming advantage in terms of individual strength.
As a result, the decline and even death of the wizards are close at hand. Humans are the most aggressive creatures in the world. Wizards and Muggles are still human beings.
Luke admitted that if the perspective was raised to include all wizards and wizards were treated as a whole, then as long as Slytherin's experiment was successful, the wizards' strength would be greatly enhanced.
But Luke didn't think he could do such a high angle, and he didn't think other people could accept it.
It's not that he uses himself to judge others, but that this kind of thing is really unrealistic.
The butt determines the head. If such a thing happened to Luke in his previous life, then he would definitely support it with both hands and feet. After all, this is giving yourself another channel for advancement. But now, he definitely doesn't think so.
Beyond the fights and almost visible strife, there is one most important issue.
"It's not that I want order."
Luke looked at the information in his hand, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said secretly in his heart. He never denies his despicability. Even if the order he wants is achieved, it is impossible to achieve the so-called equality of everyone.
He will give some people room to improve, but they must be his own people.
"Yes, turning Muggles into wizards, don't you think this is a very interesting subject?"
Slytherin saw that Luke seemed not to cooperate, but the impatience on his face disappeared. He looked at Luke playfully, with an unexplained smile in his eyes.
Luke looked at his expression and was a little unsure of what he was thinking. Since entering this space, he has been pushed by Slytherin. The initiative is not in your own hands at all.
"I don't think so, although you think the research process is interesting. But it would be okay if this research fails. Once it succeeds, Pandora's box will be opened." Luke's tone was a little heavy, and he was obviously quite serious. .
"And..." Luke said frankly, "This is not the order I want. I hate my plan being disrupted. If your research succeeds, then it will not be that the plan is disrupted, but that the plan will be disrupted." The entire plan will be scrapped. Not only do I need to make a new improved plan, I even need to personally get rid of some of my own people who may be an obstacle to me, and..."
"And more importantly, in this way, the person behind this great upheaval changes from you to me, right?"
Slytherin looked at Luke with a slightly mocking expression. He knew very well what kind of virtue his descendants would be. Their talents are generally good, and their ambitions are not small either.
"No, that's not the point."
To his surprise, Luke denied his suspicion with a look of admission. This made him a little strange, but he couldn't help but feel some hope in his heart.
"The point is... a lot of people are going to die. A lot of people." Luke said with a serious look on his face, "I can accept labor pains, but I won't accept drawing blood and removing bones. If I can accomplish this at a smaller cost , then I definitely don’t want to accomplish the same thing at such a high cost.”
"This is not the same thing." Slytherin snapped, "How can you bring about real changes in the wizarding world by tinkering with the original system?!"
"But changes that are too costly are hard to accept. They will cause a greater backlash and pay a price far beyond expectations. Such changes are definitely not a good thing!" Luke has no intention of changing his position. He has no intention of changing his stance. Speak loudly, but in a firm tone.
After saying this, Slytherin and Luke fell into silence for a moment. Neither of them spoke anymore, but just looked at each other quietly, with no emotion on their faces.
"you are still alive?"
Finally, Luke asked.
Of course, if such a question happened outside, it would definitely cause an uproar. Salazar Slytherin is still alive? This is simply a fantasy. Of course, those who have enough strength to come into contact with this level understand that there are many ways to keep Slytherin alive until now. But each comes at a huge cost.
"I have no idea."
Slytherin gave an angrily answer that surprised Luke even more.
Whether it was death or death, Luke had imagined such an answer, but this sincere "I don't know" really blocked all the plans Luke had prepared in advance.
"What did you say?"
Luke was a little stunned. The calm expression on his face also became slightly disturbed.
"I said...I don't know..."
The expression on Slytherin's face was also a little tense: "I am a clone left behind by the original body. Through blood copying, I have the same body as the original body. But I know very well that my soul is not complete, and even , as long as I leave this space, my soul will dissipate."
As he said that, he looked at Luke: "Didn't you realize? Your current state is not an entity. Your consciousness is connected to this laboratory. And on this basis, you can enter this laboratory and me. dialogue."
"What exactly is the test?"
Luke was even more confused. He was now inexplicably different from the man in front of him who claimed to be Si.
The guys who came to Trin's clone started arguing, and from the beginning, there was something wrong with this test. You said you were preparing to test Luke's research ability.
Let's not talk about who tests things like this. Just because the other party has not used this to force Luke to cooperate with the experiment, it can be seen that this is not what should be tested.
And if this is to test Luke's character, that is, his future revenge, then it has basically been a success now. After all, Luke had said what was on his mind. But Slytherin's clone broke through the defense on its own.
This is a simple quarrel, not a test where one party is superior.
Also, it can be seen that this clone seems to be very dissatisfied with the main body. Luke couldn't guess where this dissatisfaction came from, but he thought, something really didn't seem right about this thing.
From the beginning, there was all sorts of wrongness about this test, this chamber.
Especially...according to this clone...is it really possible that Slytherin is not dead?
Thinking of this, Luke couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. If Slytherin had not died, would he have been in the shadow of the wizarding world for so many years, watching a group of people scheming?
The expression on his face, is he smiling? Still angry?
"When the original body left me behind, it didn't leave any information. I was a split soul and only had a small part of my memory. There was no requirement for a test."
Slytherin looked at the familiar boy in front of him, suppressed the annoyance in his heart, and responded seriously: "I don't know what the main body is thinking, but he told me when he left me. I, said someone would understand."
"Now, tell me. Do you understand? Do you understand him?"
Faced with such questioning, Luke was speechless for a long time.
The laboratory fell into silence for a while. During this period of time, Slytherin's clone's mood gradually returned to normal.
He knew that it was the thought body that managed this space. The thinking of that missing body is still stagnant when it was created. His thinking cannot be active. Even if he has excellent research ideas, he can never find any method. Because he was locked up.
But that's not necessarily a good thing. Even after so many years, the mental state of the missing body is still intact, and it can even be kind and harmonious to the descendants who are separated from itself by countless generations. But he is different, his mind is not locked. He was literally trapped here for so many years.
Even if he wanted to go out, he had no choice. After so many years, his mentality has long changed.
After finally seeing Luke, he really wanted to ask this young man who looked very similar to his true self, why? As part of the test, what exactly is he testing?
Although Luke fell into silence, he had actually figured out a lot of things.
The missing body, the divided soul, the body copied by the bloodline. To use the term science fiction from the previous life, it is an uploaded personality without the ability to learn independently. An uploaded personality with the ability to learn independently. and clones.
It is extremely difficult to accomplish such a thing technologically.
It wouldn't be much simpler in a magical way. Nowadays, when most wizards are trapped by simple spells, essential magic research and spell development have become the interests of a few people. It's not that ancient wizards are stronger than modern wizards. But there is a big gap in creativity and innovation.
Slytherin undoubtedly relied on soul magic, blood magic, and memory magic to accomplish both of these, and both were able to achieve "immortality" to a certain extent.
This is what Slytherin wanted to show Luke.
It is indeed possible that he is still alive...
Damn it! This is not the world of "Harry Potter" in his memory! Didn’t we agree on the fairy tale of Zi Gongxiang? so
What does a living legend mean? ? ?
After being silent for a long time, Luke finally raised his head. But this time, when he raised his head, he saw something he hadn't seen before.
In the corner of the laboratory, there is a small table.
And on this table, there is a letter. There is also a quill in an inkwell.
Slytherin's clone looked towards where Luke's gaze lingered. Then his face fell instantly.
How could he not be clear about it now? I am not the host of the test at all, I am the prop of the test...
"Damn it, what do you want to do?"
Slytherin's ghost cursed in a low voice.
Luke's expression did not change, he just walked forward silently. Slytherin's ghost followed closely in his footsteps. Don't want to be left behind.
He also wanted to see what the test was. Is it to eliminate him?
And when Luke walked forward, the first thing he saw was...
"You're finally here. Luke Gaunt."
