Chapter 206: Chapter 27: Research Notes on the Out-of-Control Entity!_2

Moreover, he also needs a representative to open his own market in Abyss City.

Shawn wants to fully unleash the capabilities of the Arcane Path and Mind Path, which requires a vast amount of wealth. The more money, the stronger the combat power, and the golem legion is all built with money. Other research also requires a lot of resources; in every aspect, the caster never has enough money.

As long as the resources keep up, Shawn can slowly build a strong construct army by himself.

"But at present, my strength is not enough."

"To recruit such a powerful Charm Mage would at least require strength close to Legendary."

Shawn is very aware of his limits; without strength, do not overstep boundaries. When the time comes, the other party will naturally understand.

Demons revere the strong.

He accepted the Soul Stones and, upon returning to the high tower, purchased some Curios he would need next.

Three o’clock in the afternoon.

A Banshee led a demon squad to deliver the things Shawn wanted.

——A runaway.

This was a runaway from the Wizard Path, presumably having digested the Extraordinary Relic of the old hag. Its appearance looked more terrifying, more grim, like Gemma. It had completely lost control, becoming more manic than Evil Demons, with its madness turning into aggressiveness, so the demons shackled it and built a prison from metal suppressing magic power.

"An Extraordinary from Tier One losing control, Wizard Path."

"Which means its Extraordinary Level is five."

Once Extraordinary individuals lose control, their power reaches the upper limit of the current stage, aligning perfectly with Shawn’s previous understanding—where Extraordinary Essence actively transfers power to the runaway, thus reaching the maximum level of the current stage in one leap.

Shawn nodded slightly, indicating to send this runaway to his laboratory as his next research is crucial.

Inside the laboratory.

A sturdy iron frame bound the runaway before him, and Aemon arranged an assistant for Shawn, a male Fallen Angel with black tattered wings. Only in the Bizarre Realm, this insane world, can demons and devils be forced to cooperate.

"Wake it up!" Shawn said calmly.

Hiss!

Accompanied by a hoarse growl, the runaway before him awoke, its eyes had completely turned into a murky dark yellow, its body heavily deformed, pustules appearing all over its skin, finger bones enlarged, sporting dark sharp claws, every tooth had fallen out and regrown into dense sharp serrations.

"Can’t even talk anymore?"

Shawn pondered for a moment and took out the Magic Notebook to start recording the experiment. The Fallen Angel standing quietly at the laboratory door was named Phil, whose identity was unknown. He appeared to be a handsome middle-aged angel, though slightly balding, which lowered his appearance score significantly.

I didn’t expect angels to go bald, perhaps the pressure in the Bizarre Realm was too great.

Shawn was also unclear about his identity, as the devils in Abyss City belonged to a separate system independent of the Demon Legion.

"It’s completely lost its rationality."

Shawn opened the runaway’s eyelids; it tried to bite Shawn’s fingers, but Invisible Hand forced it against the wall. Even a Tier Five runaway wizard could be easily suppressed by him.

The runaway’s casting ability had been sealed; now it relied entirely on primitive instincts, madness being the greatest driving force.

"Self-awareness has already vanished."

Behind Shawn, a hovering pen automatically recorded, as Invisible Hand made for a great assistant.

"Then let’s start the experiment record."

Shawn stepped back and invoked the mysterious knowledge in his brain. Accompanied by a tremor of the Law of Knowledge, mysterious knowledge surged forth, directly suppressing the other’s brain, halting the activation of its knowledge.

——Knowledge Suppression [Extraordinary Domain]!

Under Shawn’s suppression, the runaway’s expression gradually became dull, and the murky dark yellow eyes revealed a hint of ’wisdom’.

Its Intelligence was forcibly fixed at 1 point.

This Intelligence was barely better than a vegetable, knowing that even a dog had an Intelligence of about six.

"Research records on runaways."

"If my understanding of the world is correct, then when Extraordinary loses control, is it the death of the former self or something else where insanity overtakes by Extraordinary Essence?"

"Under normal circumstances."

"A fusion of Tier One Extraordinary runaway shouldn’t mean complete self-death, after all, it’s not the Path of Destiny, which requires staking everything—life, flesh, soul, etc.—only the Path of Destiny.

"The runaways at this stage haven’t reached that degree."

"Thus."

"Can I think that these runaways are being digested by the Extraordinary Relics in reverse?"

"In other words, it’s similar to the Earth understanding of being ’possessed’."

"The insane self replaces the rational self, turning into a mad beast relying solely on primitive instincts."

"If this is the case."

"Then ’insanity’ can be corrected."

If an Extraordinary loses control due to self-death, there is no cure; but if insanity takes over, there’s a chance for recovery.

Establishing this understanding only requires a simple test.

——Mental Barrier!

Shawn began actively casting Mind Spells on the runaway before him, mainly enhancing its mental barriers to resist the impact of madness. He had already preemptively suppressed the activated knowledge in the runaway’s brain using the mysterious knowledge within his own brain; the core power of the Wizard Path is activated knowledge, thus when Shawn suppressed this knowledge, it equates to losing most of the casting ability.

In consequence, it also lost the influence of activated knowledge on its own madness, as Shawn possesses a hint of the Law of Knowledge, which is the suppressive power of the world’s authority concept.

Next, Shawn began to cast other Mind Enhancement Spells.

The activated knowledge in the runaway’s brain was entirely suppressed; currently, it is as mentally feeble as a fool, so the process went smoothly.

After everything was completed.

Shawn started to actively lift the suppression on knowledge. As its brain’s activated knowledge resumed operation, the runaway’s ’wise’ gaze gradually faded.

In the brief quiet, a miraculous event occurred.

It did not launch an attack.

It even showed a trace of sobriety in its gaze, with a very faint rational light flickering, seemingly awakening memories from when it was once human.

"Rationality is returning!"

Shawn’s expression showed a hint of excitement, speaking slowly, "Do you remember who you are?"

The runaway lifted its head.

Its expression was filled with pain and madness, speaking hoarsely after seemingly not speaking for a long time, "Yvonne Tanner..."

Self-awareness did not die, did not disappear, it remembered who it once was!

It was insanity!

It was digested by the Extraordinary Essence, and the world’s essence of madness possessed it.

His understanding of the world was correct; after knowledge suppressed the other, the spark of rationality flickered, resurrecting its memories.

Not far away, at the entrance to the laboratory, the Fallen Angel named Phil was stunned in shock.

No one has ever been able to rescue runaway individuals in the past from the Bizarre Realm!

Shawn said calmly, "Do you remember things from before?"

The runaway opened its mouth but stopped.

The next second.

Its expression was overwhelmed again by pain and madness, with only the essence of insanity remaining in its murky eyes. It screamed, trying to pounce forward, even without casting ability, that mad, bloodthirsty glare seemed to want to bite a piece off Shawn.

Shawn was not surprised by this, as he never expected success in one attempt.

This was an experiment.

To verify whether his understanding of the world was correct.

"Extraordinary beings can digest Extraordinary Essence derived from the Old Days, those possessing the Old Days’ madness can also digest Extraordinary beings in reverse!"

"Self-awareness did not completely disappear."

"My view on ’insanity’ is correct; Extraordinary loss of control aligns more closely with the concept of being ’possessed’ by the essence of madness."

"It’s somewhat akin to fiends from novels."

"Under the suppression of activated knowledge, Mind Enhancement Spells can temporarily restore a trace of rationality to them."

"Currently, this should only apply to knowledge-related casting paths."

"Flesh pollution is another kind of law."

Shawn silently wrote down new records.

Suppressing activated knowledge is the most critical step; only by clearing its brain first can the next operation proceed.

Having verified this, he could do more things in the future.
