"The combination of the passwords that Clovis's parents gave him?" lody wasn't present back then, so she was oblivious to the number.
The passwords Kanaria ntioned earlier were none other than the passwords leading to the secret basent at Clovis's house.
Both passwords had three-digit numbers, so she thought it would work if she combined both of them.
And it actually worked.
"Clovis is related to this place? No, wait. Maybe it's the Hacfield family?" lody furrowed her eyebrows. Considering the mysterious identity of the Hacfield family, she thought it was possible that they conducted experints like this.
However, her thought was cut short because the mont the lamps were turned on, the screen followed suit, showing a video of an old man.
The old man had a thin fra and a tired face as though he hadn't slept for a few days. He was staring at the screen with a face devoid of any expressions.
"If you happen to find this recording, you should be related to that family. In that case, I only have three things to say to you."
The old man took a step back and raised his left hand as a screen was projected next to him. It was the image of a human's anatomy.
"Our experint is successful. We have proved that humanity has two basic paths for them. The first path is sothing everyone is aware of, which is the combination between a human and a beast. I'm talking about the beast soul, not the fusion of genes.
"However, by taking the beast soul into your body, you will still mutate in a rather subtle way. For example, your body might beco stronger or faster. Your senses beco sharper or sothing along the lines. And this change will be passed on to your descendants.
"While this looks quite good, this change will also have a negative impact… not on the current generations but on a few generations afterward. The beasts might have stronger skin, faster speed, or stronger strength, but the humans have high adaptability.
"In other words, the two paths that I'm talking about are the path of raw physical ability without flexibility or a path of lower ability but high versatility.
"Yes, the second path is a path of pure human, or you can say, not taking a single beast soul."
Kanaria and lody couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock. This was the first ti they heard that the beast soul would actually alter humans.
"This…" lody sucked a cold breath. "Is taking the beast soul bad then? But it's actually giving you the raw power of the beast, allowing you to beco stronger than pure humans. And what is this versatility that the old man is talking about? Is he Professor Waod?"
Kanaria, on the other hand, rembered when Clovis told them that his grandfather told him not to take beast souls.
Unfortunately, she didn't have a lot of ti to think as the professor continued, "Onto the second matter, I have found out a way to utilize every single beast soul whether it's compatible with you or not.
"The beast soul is extrely rare and no one can deny its strength. At the sa ti, a compatible beast soul is very hard to find.
"This research can very well beco an earth shattering phenonon. Please take a look at this…"
Professor Waod changed the video on the projection. This ti, it showed a man standing in front of a tal puppet. The guy moved forward while waving his right hand as if he were about to slap the puppet. But the mont his finger reached the tal puppet, the head was sliced into pieces.
This was the normal utilization of a beast soul. It should turn his hands into claws, so they didn't find it different.
However, the professor played the second video. It was a different man, but instead of using his hand like claws, the guy actually produced the claws from his hand.
"Huh? That's…" mory gasped as she saw the guy slash the tal puppet with these claws.
"This is the sa beast soul, but one is taken orally as usual while the other one is injected. By swallowing the beast soul, it will allow you to have the sa ability as the beast. But if it's injected, you can manipulate the gene to form the organ that produces it. In other words, you don't have to be a close-range fighter to find this beast soul useful.
"And there is one more way to utilize it… or you can say, a different way to manipulate the gene." The professor showed the next video.
The third man produced the claw as well, but this ti, there was only one claw and its length was similar to a short sword.
"Because we're manipulating the gene, we are able to change how it is being utilized. And the area is not limited to your hand… You can inject it on your back to make you look like a shark or use it underneath your feet to use it as a surprise attack.
"This is a very versatile way to use the beast soul. Since humans will lose their versatility over ti, it's better to invent new ways to utilize it.
"Anyway, it's better to copy my research and the way to utilize it. Just plug in your device into the slot on the right and it will automatically copy my research."
lody dropped to her knees as she couldn't help but say, "This research… It might actually change the world."
Kanaria remained silent, but it was clear that she was shocked by her fingers which were currently shivering. Still, she had to copy this research to her device and give it to Clovis later. Although she failed to insert it multiple tis, she managed to do it ultimately.
The mont it was plugged in, Professor Waod continued, "Last but not least, I just want to warn you that evolution is unavoidable. If little Clovis doesn't take any beast souls, there will soon be a lot of won flocking around him. After all, versatility is not the only one that humanity will lose during evolution… they'll also lose their fertility. The birth rate should have decreased by now.
"To get to the peak without using a beast soul… It's a hard path, but a more desirable one for various reasons.
"That's all I want to say. Well, maybe one more thing. I just want to thank Teacher Aisha for helping with this research. I have finally fulfilled my long cherished dream and have no regrets anymore. Goodbye."
Professor Waod smiled for the first ti, showing a very gentle face. At the sa ti, the mont the video ended, the data transfer had also finished.
