The Out-of-Control Experiment

(Ceruno)

After hearing my description, Antarctic Star, resting his chin on his hand, gave a brief summary.

"You mean, you want to use Xiaoling's magic to transplant the Crystal of a dead Artificial Witch into the body of a brainless Monster, turning him into a new Artificial Witch and giving him a brain and the ability to think?"

The Artificial Witch were originally created by Aldebaran through the transplantation of Crystal into the Monster of the "Supreme Council," so my proposal is theoretically feasible.

"Yes, that's what I think."

Since we don't have the technology to implant Crystal and modify Monster, we'll transplant the entire Crystal -embedded torso of the Cross Witch onto the Oil Monster.

"Hmm, Ceruno, your idea is quite bold."

As he spoke, Antarctic Star shook his head.

"But I don't approve of you doing that."

I countered, "Why? Do you think it's impossible to succeed?"

"You lack awe for the unknown, and think about it carefully: if witches could be created so easily, would there be any need for Magical Girl Soldiers on the Other Side? If Artificial Witch were mass-produced directly, Earth wouldn't stand a chance."

"We can't build the engine, but we can still disassemble it and install it elsewhere, right? Isn't Xiaoling's magic perfect for this? Besides, Director SpiCa has already agreed to this, and I think she'd be very willing to try this approach."

Miss SpiCa agreed to have the Artificial Crystal implanted into the Monster's body.

"Let's go, Xiaoling, let's go to the branch right now."

"Wait, it's still class time."

Out of caution, Antarctic Star still wanted to stop it.

"Well, there's only half an hour left before lunch break! Teacher Antarctic Star, can I borrow Xiaoling for now?"

"Since this is Director SpiCa's intention..."

Teacher Penguin sighed.

"Well, I hope you get a good result."

Sky Branch.

Research Level detention cells.

Xiaoling and Xiaojie also came here with me; their magic is crucial in this transplant experiment.

I thought we'd have to wait for researchers to unravel the secrets of the Artificial Crystal, but they found a solution so quickly. SpiCa and Miss Chris are already in place, and they even brought the Base Body left behind by the Cross Witch.

"Using magic to transplant Artificial Crystal... that just doesn't seem very reliable?"

Liu scratched his head and sighed, "But even if he goes mad after becoming a witch, this force is enough to suppress him."

"Don't say such unlucky things."

SpiCa tapped him and said, "Open the door."

Xiaojie's magical influence had Past, and the beautiful white-haired boy became restless again, trying to rush out as soon as the door to the prison cell was opened.

Miss Chris stepped forward.

She simply raised her hand and lightly placed it on the hilt of the sword at her waist, and the handsome boy was sliced into countless rubber pieces, then kicked back into the prison cell, scattering like building blocks on the floor.

That's how it got its name, "Godspeed".

The Black Mud, which had turned into an oil-like substance, began to gather back towards the center, and I took the opportunity to seal it with bubbles.

"Xiaojie, calm him down first."

"Um."

The dark-skinned girl hiding behind me reached out her hand, and the magical microwaves soothed the Oil Monster's emotions. The Oil Monster, now calm, turned white and solidified again, eventually transforming back into the dull-eyed rubber boy.

SpiCa then asked, "So, what are you planning to do?"

"Have Xiaoling remove the part with the Artificial Crystal from the Base Body's chest cavity and then insert it into the Rubber Monster's body."

"This Monster appears to be a living being, but it's actually a construct. Can the extracted parts fuse with Monster?"

I looked at Xiaoling, but she just shook her head.

"I can try, and if it doesn't work, I can take it out again immediately... I don't have the means to decompose unconscious objects... What I mean is, even if I can't fuse them, I can still restore everything."

Eager to demonstrate her value, Xiaoling also had a very positive attitude towards the transplantation experiment.

"Miss SpiCa, may I have her try it?" I asked.

"Then let's give it a try."

The Cross Witch is already "brain dead," Base Body will eventually decay if left unattended.

This Oil Monster has always been the researchers' guinea pig.

Therefore, the psychological burden of this experiment was not great. Although she was a little nervous, Xiaoling successfully removed the chest cavity block embedded with Artificial Crystal. The removed part was covered by magic, so there was no major bleeding.

She then reached out to the rubber boy, who didn't react. Xiaoling then took out a chest cavity cube of the same size.

"Is he still hostile towards you?" I asked.

"No, he is an object now."

Oh, so it's because he's too intellectually challenged; Xiaoling's magic judged him as a giant rubber figurine.

Xiaoling glanced at the witch's chest cavity cube in her hand, then shoved it into the empty space in the rubber boy's chest.

"Aww!!"

The rubber boy seemed to have been stimulated, howling and rolling around on the ground, which frightened Xiaoling so much that she stopped and jumped aside.

"It's been merged?"

"No, not yet... I don't know what's going on either!"

The plan went wrong from the start. Xiaojie tried to use her magic to calm the freaked Monster, but the effect was less than ideal.

"Calm down."

Several White Silk shot out, binding the rubber-clad boy into a taut rice dumpling.

It was Miss SpiCa who made the move.

"It's normal for unstable factors to appear in experiments, but everything is still under control, so don't panic."

Experiments with the Tactical Division on-site can certainly be made even bolder.

"Xiaoling! Incorporate the Artificial Crystal!"

"Okay, okay."

She looked scared, but she still gritted her teeth and did as she was told.

As a result, the rubbery boy inside the bandages became motionless, not even struggling in his final moments...

Expansion.

The taut White Silk suddenly burst open, transforming into the casing of a sausage, while the rubber boy inside swelled into an oval sphere.

Bang!!

The sound, like an implosion, rang out again.

That's not all. The Artificial Crystal integrated into the rubber boy's body, like Mentos thrown into a can of cola, produced a violent chemical reaction.

"Get out!"

SpiCa added a considerable amount of White Silk, even using a significant amount to cover the parts of her body.

I pushed Xiaoling and Xiaojie out of the confinement cell, then took out my wand and put a solidified bubble over the bloated Monster, trying to stop it from expanding further...

Bang!!!

But as expected, it didn't work. Not only did my bubble burst, but SpiCa's incredibly tough White Silk was also torn apart by the immense force.

"Let's go! Get out of here first!"

SpiCa grabbed me and left the cell, while Liu, carrying the camera, closed the cell door. The Rubber Monster's expansion showed no signs of stopping; after several bursts, it was almost filling the entire cell.

Da da da--

The sound of thick-soled boots running could be heard in the distance.

It's Miluno.

She appeared from the other end of the corridor, carrying a girl I had never seen before.

"Ceruno! I'm going to accelerate!"

I understood her intention.

I held up the bubble that enveloped the entire corridor.
