The experiment proved that Sunders' theory was correct.
There was a connection between the infection time and the removal of the lifeline. The longer the infection time, the higher the compatibility of the character, and the more difficult it would be to remove the lifeline.
It only took Sunders 40 minutes to remove the thread from Eva's body. However, according to the dancer, two hours had already passed, and there was still no movement.
However, as the nightmare aura continued to flow into the dancer's body, the "confusion" in her eyes increased more and more. Judging from this, the dancer's condition was improving. However, it would take a long time for her to be completely free like Old Ham and Eva's sister.
Sunders did not have to do it himself to release the nightmare aura from the nightmare stone. Sunders released a falcon-shaped puppet from his Gravity Garden and used his spirit power to control the puppet to release nightmare energy. He then followed the group to the hall.
Apart from them, there were two more people in the hall. They were Old Ham and Eva's sister.
The others were questioning the two of them.
According to Sunders, Old Ham's brain might be affected by something, which prevented him from thinking about complicated questions. As the name suggested, Old Ham's body was not doing well.
They assumed Eva's condition would be even worse if Old Ham was in such a bad condition.
However, contrary to their expectations, Eva's sister did not seem to be doing well. She would feel uncomfortable if she overused her brain, but she was in a much better condition compared to Old Ham.
This strange situation made everyone very puzzled. Why was Eva's sister doing better than Old Ham, even though she had been infected longer than Old Ham?
As the two of them were questioned, the answer finally surfaced.
Old Ham rubbed his swollen temple with his left hand while clutching his neck with his right. "My head hurts. The more I think about it, the worse it hurts … Wait, Eva bit me. What happened next? Wait, wait, I remember. She bit me near my neck. Hmm, let me think. My trapezius muscle? Yeah, it's near there. The wound is as big as the knuckle of my little finger. There's not much bleeding, but we still need to take care of it. I don't know if Eva brushed her teeth or not. Oh well, even if she didn't brush her teeth, we still need to disinfect it. What do we use to disinfect it?
Old Ham mumbled to himself for a while.
Greya was a little confused. "Wait, I remember they said he owns a dye factory?"
"He's in the cloth business. Apart from the dye shop, he also has a textile factory."
"But he sounded more like a doctor," Greya said. Was he a doctor before he became a cloth merchant? "
He looked at Eva's sister, who lived in Windmill Town for a long time. She should know more about Old Ham than him.
However, Eva's younger sister shook her head. "I'm sure that Old Ham didn't know any medical skills before today."
Since he didn't know anything about medicine, what was he talking about?
While everyone was pondering, Old Ham suddenly realized something. "How would I know about these weird things? Eh, there seems to be some inexplicable information in my mind. Doctor? I'm not a doctor … No, I think I'm a doctor … "
Old Ham rubbed his throbbing temples and mumbled incoherently.
Sunders observed Old Ham's condition and spoke slowly, "Maybe he's playing the role of a doctor."
"The lifeline gave him some knowledge?" Greya spoke up as if she just realized something. "No wonder he felt pain when he tried to use his brain. He was forced to accept information that didn't belong to him."
So Eva's younger sister was doing better than Old Ham because she had been playing the role for a longer time, and she was already digesting what she learned?
Greya looked at Eva's sister and asked, "You have a new memory too, right? What is it?"
Eva's younger sister hesitated. "A butcher."
"A butcher?"
Eva nodded and said reluctantly, "To be precise, he's a butcher. I learned how to kill a pig. "
"The seamstress became a dancer, Old Ham became a doctor, and you became a butcher," Greya said. "Each of you got an interesting script. Are they randomly distributed? "
No one could answer Greya's question, and they didn't care about it either.
Next, Sunders performed a small experiment. He created a pig using an illusion and gave it to Eva's younger sister so that she could use her knowledge to deal with it.
They watched Eva's younger sister butchering and dissecting the pig from beginning to end. Eva's younger sister was a little unfamiliar with the job, but she was already showing signs of becoming a butcher.
Next, Sunders created a man whose hand was chopped off and asked Old Ham to sew it up. However, Old Ham's performance in the end was not satisfactory. His theoretical knowledge was useless when it came to practical work.
After this experiment, they came to a conclusion.
"The lifeline not only gave them the actor's script, but also allowed them to stay in the actor's body for a long time and improve their performance."
Old Ham only gained the knowledge about being a doctor, and the lifeline was taken out. He had knowledge but no experience.
Eva's younger sister was infected half a day earlier than Old Ham, so she still had half a day to adapt to her new body after the lifeline gave her the knowledge. Therefore, Eva's younger sister could easily learn how to butcher a pig.
As for the dancer inside, from her graceful dance steps, it was basically certain that the flexible thread had transformed the dancer's dancing skills. It was estimated that when the dancer woke up, her dancing skills alone would be enough to make her an outstanding dancer.
"So the lifeline gave them a lot of benefits," Greya commented.
Tree Spirit joined in, "It's just like the Cataclysm at Midnight Sovereign. Those who were infected by the parasites all grew up. Sometimes, nightmare creatures are unruly, which can lead to misfortune and fortune. "
Greya nodded in agreement. These people were lucky enough to meet Sunders right next to Brute Cavern. Their bad luck turned into good luck. If they were in other places, they would be completely unlucky.
Tree Spirit looked at Old Ham. "Still, Old Ham is lucky. If he got infected earlier, he might have become an excellent doctor."
Eva's younger sister only gained the seemingly useless experience of being a butcher. However, after attaching herself to the lifeline for a while, her strength had more than doubled. Old Ham only gained a pile of theoretical knowledge, but he was a little disappointed.
Old Ham was quite optimistic about this. "It's good enough to get a doctor's memory. Experience can be gained slowly. At least I'm still alive. I'm still Lucky Ham. "
