Robio hugged Walter and looked at Chen Zhao.
"I hope I can visit Walter anytime. If he dies, please let me know."
"Of course." Chen Zhao nodded.
"Walter, come." Chen Zhao clapped his hands and reached out to hug Walter.
Walter's body was very weak. He'd been sick for a few months and was in so much pain that he wanted to die.
"But without my permission, you can't reveal Walter's whereabouts or my information. Is that okay?"
"Yes." Robio nodded. "I'll tell Faur that I killed Walter."
Chen Zhao carried Walter into the car. Walter lay on Chen Zhao's lap and gradually fell asleep.
When they got home, Chen Zhao mixed some perfect crystal powder with water and fed it to Walter.
It seemed to be effective, but he needed more rest.
Woof, woof, woof —
A head popped out of the wall. Only Blackie could appear like this.
Walter barked crazily at Blackie. Clearly, he thought Blackie was an uninvited guest.
"Hey, Blackie, he can see you," Chen Zhao said in surprise.
"Not all dogs can see me. Some human pets are special. They can always see things that others can't," Blackie said disapprovingly. He glanced at Walter. "Chen, where did you get him? I can feel the aura of death on him."
"You can feel his death?"
"Yes."
"He's a very sick dog, but I just gave him the perfect crystal. Is there no effect?"
"Seems like it. He'll die in six hours. This is just his final radiance."
Chen Zhao frowned. "Why is it useless? Are demonic crystals useless to dogs? "
"I don't know. After all, no one has ever used precious demonic crystals on a dog."
Chen Zhao's face darkened. "Is there no other way?"
"You're a doctor. You know more about saving people than I do. I'm a Soulbringer, so I know more about death than you."
"I need to go to your house."
"You're always welcome there," Blackie said.
Chen Zhao brought Walter into Blackie's territory. Walter was very uneasy and looked around.
Just then, a huge figure appeared in the mist.
Woof, woof, woof —
Then Little One, Little Two, and Little Three appeared.
Woof woof woof —
"Walter, calm down. They're not enemies." Chen Zhao comforted Walter.
Walter looked at Little One, Little Two, and Little Three suspiciously. He seemed very confused.
Little One, Little Two, and Little Three also looked at Walter in confusion. Walter went forward and licked Little Two's head in the middle.
The three of them lay on the ground and put their heads together. They felt that Walter was like them, just smaller.
Could it be a child?
With their intelligence, they couldn't understand why they were different.
By nature, they were still dogs.
Walter didn't understand either. He had seen many dogs, and his brain wasn't very developed. Naturally, he thought that the big guy in front of him was of the same breed.
"Little One, Little Two, Little Three, play with Walter, okay?"
The three dog heads licked Chen Zhao. Chen Zhao patted them, touching and patting each head.
Because he had to treat each and every one of them fairly. If he didn't take care of any of them, he would definitely throw a tantrum.
Dogs are like that. They can get along with people who treat them well, but they also have their own little emotions.
…
Chen Zhao entered the lab and couldn't wait to go to the lower level.
He needed to find out why Walter couldn't absorb demonic crystals.
This process didn't take too much time. He found the relevant content.
It said:
I've done many experiments, using animals, humans, and demons. Many of them used demonic crystals.
Demonic crystals were named after demons, but they didn't belong to Hell alone.
Demonic crystals also existed in the human world, but they were rarer than in Hell.
Demons absorbed demonic crystals the most. They could absorb about 90% of a one-year-old demonic crystal, which could directly increase their lifespan.
Humans were second. They could only absorb about a quarter of a demon's effect.
Humans also couldn't handle large amounts of demonic crystals. This had to do with their body structure. Human bodies were too fragile.
Animals were even worse at absorbing demonic crystals. This was mainly because their intelligence was too low, so their souls were more fragile.
Demonic crystals didn't just affect the body. They also affected the soul.
The main effect of demonic crystals was to increase lifespan. The main way to increase lifespan was to strengthen the body and the soul.
Demons were the best in these two aspects, so demonic crystals had the best effect on demons.
Humans' souls were strong, but their bodies were weak, so the effect was slightly worse.
Animals' souls were the weakest, and their bodies weren't as strong as humans'.
Seeing this, Chen Zhao understood why Walter couldn't absorb demonic crystals.
No, it wasn't that he couldn't absorb them at all. It was just that the effect was very poor.
Chen Zhao continued reading. It was recorded:
However, I thought of a way to allow humans to obtain bodies as strong as demons, or at least close to that of demons. I began to modify the humans, and the modified humans did indeed improve their absorption of demonic crystals.
But the modified humans weren't humans anymore.
Later on, I began to modify animals. Unlike the complicated modification of the human body, the modification of the animal was more of a modification of the soul, and the direction of my modification was Demonification.
I fed a Decay Fruit to a dog. The dog's soul turned into a demon's soul. I failed the first time.
The dog's weak body couldn't bear the demon's soul.
This time, I made some changes and strengthened the body of the second test subject. I used the Blood Sea's water and demon's blood to pour into the test subject's body. It turned into a hybrid demon. Both its soul and body were changed, but its personality didn't change, so my experiment was considered a success.
Compared to human experiments, animal experiments were obviously much easier.
After that, I did many more experiments, all on animals. Some were successful, some were failures.
Seeing this, Chen Zhao hesitated. Should he modify Walter?
Would Walter still be Walter after modification?
After some thought, Chen Zhao decided to modify Walter.
After all, it was his first pet. It wouldn't be right if it died on the first day.
