Arthur hurriedly ran into the house, which was still filled with an unpleasant burnt smell.
"How are you?"
Looking at Olivia's cat face, Arthur couldn't help but asked worriedly.
"Nothing, just a failure."
Olivia replied with a lonely look.
Arthur looked at her experimental table and saw a roasted rabbit with a headband on its head and two copper wires connected to it.
At this time, Jabi just walked in and saw the tragic death of the rabbit. He immediately covered his mouth, was frightened and ran away quickly.
He never thought that such a quiet girl could be a rabbit killer.
Arthur also frowned, "What experiment are you doing?"
"It's my father's experiment. I want to send the rabbit into the four-dimensional space."
Arthur scratched his head, a little hard to understand her behavior.
"By electrocuting a rabbit?"
Olivia rolled her eyes at Arthur and took out her father's notes, "My father believes that the real four-dimensional space is in our brains. To open this door, we must have strong energy. ."
Arthur took Holly Holmes' notes, looked at the assumptions and some speculations in it, and also saw Poppy.
Arthur couldn't help but ask: "Does this experiment still need poppies?"
Olivia looked at it and picked up a bottle from the side with a dozen small black pills in it.
"This is a kind of medicine that is used to stimulate the mind, or it can also be called the soul. According to my father, the four-dimensional space requires the mind to get out of the limitations of the body. When I was a child, I saw him taking it often, but every time he took it, he would change. Going crazy."
Arthur opened the vial and poured out a pill. He smelled it with his nose and then gently licked it with his tongue.
Arthur felt a sour smell, and he immediately understood that what he was holding was processed and purified heroin.
Arthur couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Where did you learn the method of refining this drug?"
Seeing Arthur's serious expression, Olivia panicked.
"I learned this from my father's notes. What, is there any problem?"
Arthur pondered for a moment, and finally confessed to Olivia: "The thing you made is called heroin. It is very poisonous. I think your father probably died from it."
"is this real?"
Olivia looked at Arthur in shock, but the next moment, she was suspicious: "But every time I feed it to the rabbits before the experiment, there are no accidents with those rabbits!"
Arthur didn't know what to say about feeding heroin to rabbits, but he didn't want Olivia to get infected with it, so he could only give a serious warning: "This drug is a bit like opium, but it's more It’s easily addictive and a hundred times more harmful. Once you get into it, it’s almost impossible to quit.”
Britain is now in a period of opium flooding. Although many nobles are still taking it, people at this time are gradually discovering its dangers.
"Why would my father research such a harmful thing?"
Arthur flipped through his notes and finally found the page on refining heroin. As expected, underneath the production method was Professor Bell's signature.
Arthur speculated: This should be a formula specially developed by Professor Bell for Olivia's father.
"Do you still keep all your father's letters?"
Olivia nodded, and immediately pulled out a box from the corner, which was filled with letters, which seemed to be at least hundreds.
At this time, Elizabeth poked her head out of the door, "Are you okay? Why don't you come out?"
She shares Jabi's fear of blood and dead animals.
But Olivia didn't care, picked up the tragically dead rabbit and walked out the door, only scaring Jabi and Elizabeth, who screamed outside.
Arthur simply moved the box outside, and the four of them spread a sheet under the big tree. Arthur also distributed all the letters to the three of them.
"Come and help me search to see if there are any letters about Professor Bell."
"The weather is so nice, we should go out and play, why do we do such boring things?"
Jabi expressed great dissatisfaction with Arthur's arrangements.
Elizabeth also had the same reluctant expression on her face.
"Okay then! Let's go play!"
After saying that, he warned Elizabeth: "Be careful of his sweet words. Don't believe him easily."
Jabi was very unhappy with Arthur's slander, so he pulled Elizabeth, and the two of them ran out happily like two little birds.
"They match each other quite well."
Arthur looked at Olivia again. She was carefully opening and examining the letter. Her quiet look made Arthur feel a throb in his heart.
Just when he was fascinated, Olivia suddenly said: "Do you think there is a possibility that the energy I used is not strong enough?"
It turns out Olivia was still thinking about her experiment.
She was now using a hand-operated generator. Arthur couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he thought of the poor rabbit twitching from the electricity.
"Then do you think of any good ideas?"
Olivia looked up to the sky, and Arthur immediately had a bad feeling.
"The power of natural thunder and lightning is too great. There is no way your idea will succeed!"
Olivia argued unconvinced: "How will you know if it works if you don't try it."
Arthur clearly saw the persistence in exploring the unknown in Olivia's eyes.
In order to stop her committing suicide, Arthur could only confess: "Olivia, there is no need to try, because I have entered the door you mentioned more than once."
Olivia thought Arthur was joking, but looking at Arthur's serious expression, she finally looked at him seriously.
"Actually, that door can only be seen with the soul. So your father's inference is not completely wrong. However, it is not a four-dimensional space, but a crossroads leading to hell."
As soon as she heard about hell, Olivia immediately objected: "There are no demons in this world at all."
Arthur nodded, but then said: "It's just a different name. Haven't you ever thought that the four-dimensional space will lead to another world?"
Arthur used scientific thinking to explain, leaving Olivia stunned on the spot.
Seeing that there were no outsiders here, Arthur took out the "Hell Bible" from his arms.
"I got this accidentally. It records the creatures of that world, and here we call them demons."
Olivia stroked the human skin cover, confused and a little excited.
"Are there really demons in this world?"
