Whoosh!

The master-level silver sword "flowed" out of the scabbard. The next moment, Lynn stepped heavily on the ground and jumped up. Like an acrobat, he spun at high speed like a top in the air.

Finally, he struck Wraith hard.

It was like a skeleton being thrown into a meat grinder. The spiritual skeleton was split into two, and a large number of bone fragments were chopped and scattered everywhere. After landing, they were wrapped in a ball of green flames and dissipated.

After a successful blow, Lynn jumped back to avoid the sharp claw Wraith finally swung at him.

Then, in the sight of the demon hunter, it turned into a ball of green flame and disappeared from this world.

Geralt rushed over with a sword, but the battle was already over.

He squatted at the place where Wraith disappeared and said doubtfully.

"What is that? A victim who died here?"

As a laboratory that conducts in vivo experiments, the last thing that is most likely to be missing is a cell to hold the experimental subjects.

The same goes for Moreau's laboratory, which occupies the largest area and is used to imprison the victims of experimental subjects.

There is even a corpse that retains the painful appearance before death, still tightly handcuffed next to the experimental table.

"No, this should not be the victim, but Moreau."

Although it was in a state of decay, the appearance of Wraith was exactly the same as the face of Moreau in Lynn's memory.

There are too many unknowns in this world.

Take curses for example.

In the Witcher novels, there is a monster named Nivellen. When he was doing bad things everywhere, he was cursed by a priestess to be "a monster in human skin." Later, he really became a monster.

However, there is no harm in him turning into a monster.

Because he also has the ability to summon food, wine, clothes, clean sheets, hot water, and soap without paying any price.

At least many poor and hungry people would be happy to become such monsters.

In the Witcher 3, there is also a pirate named Morkvarg, who also turned into a monster.

But compared to Nivellen, Morkvarg is much worse. It doesn't have the same abilities as Nivellen, and it always suffers from endless hunger.

In the Witcher 3, when Lynn comes to this secret laboratory from the perspective of White Wolf, there is no Wraith of Thomas Moreau.

This may be because the current Lynn and Geralt are more than 20 years earlier than in the game.

By that time in the game, Wraith of Moreau had already dissipated.

People with obsessions may indeed remain in this world when they die.

But there will eventually be a day when it dissipates and turns into nothingness.

Just because waiting for Wraith to dissipate on its own is too long, it may take hundreds of years, or even longer, so sometimes demon hunters are needed to eliminate Wraith.

But no matter what the truth is, it is impossible for them to know it now.

But then again, if you don't know, you don't know.

The two of them no longer struggled with this.

Instead, they began to search the entire laboratory like a carpet.

The laboratory is filled with bottles and jars that Secondary Mutation needs to use.

There is also a telescope in the corner, which is used to record what happened in this laboratory.

On the bookshelf against the wall, there are also many books about witchers, mutations, and genetics.

As for the last and most important thing, Moreau is used to force the witcher's mutation to reverse, but it will actually lead to the witcher's mutation chamber like Secondary Mutation's Iron Maiden.

In fact, through his own understanding of the Witcher 3, Lynn knew that this demon hunter mutation cabin would not be dangerous.

But for the sake of safety, he still didn't try it rashly.

Instead, I planned to show it to the sorceress first.

In fact, when he was exploring the ruins before, Lynn didn't just rely on the memories in his mind.

At the same time, he has been using Witcher Senses, which is different from ordinary people, to observe the surroundings vigilantly.

The more he understands the original novels and games, the more he understands the truth that "dead witchers are all negligent witchers".

However, regardless of whether it is high-risk, the research results of Moreau actually illustrate one point:

That is, the research on demon hunters is far from being developed to its limit.

You must know that Moreau is neither a core member of Brotherhood of Sorcerers nor a visiting professor of Ben Ad, nor did he accept any capital injection from any large organization. He completed the research on the demon hunter Secondary Mutation with his own energy and financial resources.

What does this mean?

This shows that although it has been hundreds of years since the creation of witchers, the research on witchers has actually been at a standstill for these hundreds of years.

It was actually mentioned in Kaer Morhen's collection of books that after the warlocks created the witcher, when they discovered that the witcher did not have as good a spellcasting ability as the warlocks, they decisively abandoned the witcher as a defective product in the eyes of the warlocks.

And Brotherhood of Sorcerers also terminated its support for the Witcher Project.

Therefore, in the past few hundred years, especially after Alzur and Cosimo left Order of Witchers, no warlock has conducted further research on demon hunters.

And this is why Lynn firmly believes that Trial of the Grasses still has room for improvement.

After searching the entire laboratory, Lynn packed up everything in the entire laboratory and took it away.

Whether it is useful or not.

Anyway, the space in the magic pattern leather bag is large enough.

Geralt watched Lynn stuffing things into the magic pattern leather bag like a squirrel. "So, that iron coffin that looks like a torture instrument is Secondary Mutation's device?"

"Yes," Lynn nodded, "Moreau originally planned to use this device to turn his son back into an ordinary person, but instead it resulted in his son being further strengthened."

"Although he chose to give up in desperation at the time, apparently after his death, his obsession still drove him to return to this place again."

"However, although his transformation of his son was successful, for the sake of safety, I think it is better to show it to the sorceresses first. What do you think, Geralt?"

Geralt answered without thinking.

"This is indeed a good idea. The knowledge of warlocks in this area is indeed not comparable to that of everyone."

"I happen to know a sorceress named Yennefer. After we return to the north, I can try to contact her."

Lynn just put the last item in it.

"What a coincidence? In fact, I also know a sorceress named Triss Merigold."

Unexpectedly, Geralt suddenly panicked and waved his hands quickly.

"No, no, no, you should show it to Yennefer first. If she can't do anything, then you should show it to the sorceress you know. The order cannot be reversed."

Lynn wondered, "Why? What's the difference?"

Geralt explained very seriously.

"If Ye knew that we had found other sorceresses before we asked her for help, then not only would she not be able to help, she would also make a mockery of both of us."

"Really?"

"Do you know abacus?"

"You know, what happened to the ones that businessmen use to do math?"

Geralt Look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

"Once, I made Ye angry, and she asked me to kneel on the abacus while meditating."

Lynn suddenly took a breath of cold air.

At the same time, I can't help but feel lucky that I like Triss.
