Apart from Angor, everyone else was curious. How did Sunders remove the lifeline?
When Sunders brought up the topic, everyone quieted down and stared at him.
Sunders didn't have the habit of keeping people in suspense. "The parasitic disaster at Midnight Sovereign several years ago is very similar to what happened today. Just like how I expelled the parasites back then, I'm doing the same to these living threads.
"As for why it didn't work then, it works now. The reason is simple. The nightmare aura. "
The nightmare aura released by the nightmare stone was completely absorbed by the living thread.
In Sunders' opinion, the living thread that absorbed the nightmare aura and the original living thread were two different creatures.
The original living thread had nothing to do with the Nightmare Realm, and it didn't need the nightmare aura to provide it with a living environment. It could even be considered a native of the wizarding world.
However, after absorbing the nightmare aura and reaching saturation, the living thread became a real nightmare creature.
Sunders couldn't do anything to ordinary living threads, but he could easily do something to a nightmare creature.
He used the same method to deal with the parasites in Midnight Sovereign to deal with this living thread. The final result was obvious.
He took out the living thread without any difficulty.
Old Ham also regained his consciousness to a certain extent.
In other words, the nightmare aura was the key to all of this.
Angor nodded in his mind while listening to Sunders' explanation. He also felt the difference. Before, the living thread didn't have the nightmare aura, so he couldn't do anything to it. But now, after absorbing the nightmare aura, Angor could feel the difference.
He sensed that the threads were much more "friendly" than before. At the same time, he could exert some influence on the threads within a limited range.
For example, Angor could make the living thread leave the patient's body like Sunders. And he could do it even more easily than Sunders. Sunders used his own strength to force the living thread to show up, while Angor used his "class suppression" to force the living thread to leave on its own.
Apart from this, Angor could also order the living thread to do some simple things. However, they were limited to staying still and moving. He couldn't make the living thread attack, multiply, or split up. Maybe it was because the lifeline itself had an ultimate mission, which was beyond Angor's control. Or maybe the lifeline was not smart enough. Either way, Angor could only order it to do limited things.
However, at least for now, the problem of the survival line could be considered a temporary victory.
"If Ham can be healed, what about the others?" Greya asked the most important question, which was also what everyone wanted to know.
"We need to do some experiments."
"What we can confirm now is that the infection time has an impact on the final result. As for why, my personal guess is that it might be because of the compatibility between the lifeline and humans. "
Compatibility? "Why was the lifeline created in the first place? What is its ultimate goal? "
Sunders did not wait for the others to think about it. He simply stated his guess.
"I've thought of many reasons why the living thread was created, but later, when I saw the dancer, I overturned my previous thoughts."
"As I said to Angor, the thoughts of nightmare creatures may be strange and straightforward, but they are always unexpected. Their actions, words, and actions all have a trace of absurdity. It's like reading a stream of consciousness of idealism. "
"So, maybe we can put all the conspiracy theories aside for now. The reason why they created the lifeline might be very, very simple. They want to — "
"Change the world."
This kind of transformation might be different from what everyone imagined. It was even more preposterous and bizarre. It was like the idea of a psychopath.
"Turn the world into a stage, and let the person controlled by the lifeline become an actor." It was Angor who spoke. While the others were still trying to understand Sunders' words, Angor already understood what Sunders was trying to say.
Sunders nodded to Angor and continued, "Maybe this isn't a complete theory. There might be some conspiracy theories behind it. For example, they want to control humans and invade the wizarding world through living strings. After all, the nightmare creatures are strange, but they have the Queen of Terror behind them, who is worshipped and respected by all nightmare creatures."
"But these are not important. Nightmare creatures are naturally xenophobic, so humans and them are natural enemies. As long as we know why they created the lifeline, it's easy to deduce their ultimate goal. "
"To turn all the infected people into crazy actors," Sunders said, "That's probably what they're after."
According to Tree Spirit's information, Sunders was sure that as time went by, the "actors" would become better at acting.
Obviously, the lifeline was becoming more and more "compatible" with the infected. The longer the infection, the better the acting would be.
At this point, the others finally understood what Sunders was trying to say.
"The more an actor gets into a role, the harder it is to get away from it." Greya spoke in a soft voice, "In other words, the more compatible the lifeline is with the actor, the harder it is to get away from it."
Old Ham had just been infected. He did not have the time to understand his role yet, let alone "understanding" and "connecting" with Old Ham. That was why Sunders was able to remove the living thread so quickly.
As for the dancer, she had been infected for a long time and had basically gotten used to her role. It would be more difficult to remove the lifeline from her role than Old Ham.
Perhaps it would take longer for the lifeline to leave the role and absorb the nightmare aura.
"Of course, this is only my guess. Maybe the lifeline can no longer be removed after becoming an actor."
Greya mumbled to herself, "Let's go and see."
"That's what I was thinking."
Next, Sunders found two more patients. One was the dancer, and the other was Eva's sister, who had not been infected for long.
Sunders decided to do a control group experiment to determine the relationship between the infection time and the lifeline removal, as well as the proportion.
