"That depends on how you define death."

"If it fails, your consciousness will be unable to return to your body and can only drift in Jarilo's Synesthetic Dream, and what a body without consciousness will become, I don't need to say more, right?" Lin Qi said calmly.

"Mm, I understand."

Kafka nodded.

A body without consciousness is nothing more than becoming a "vegetable."

If it were an ordinary person, hearing this consequence, they would be incredibly worried and afraid that the experiment would fail.

But Kafka only weighs the gains and losses.

Although this "70%" is only an consciousness separation experiment, not solving the illness.

But "fearless" her feels it's worth taking a risk.

"Doctor, I'm ready, when will the experiment start?"

Kafka asked softly.

The tone was even a bit gentle.

As if the one about to be experimented on wasn't herself, but someone else.

"Since you are already ready, then it's better to do it today than another day, let's do it now," Lin Qi nodded.

Then.

The consciousness separation experiment began.

Lin Qi didn't expect that this technology would be applied to Kafka first, rather than Sparkle.

But since Kafka wasn't afraid, he didn't intend to stop.

After all, having one more "experimental material" is also quite good.

Not to mention.

Still such a special material?

Time passed bit by bit.

When Kafka, lying on the experimental table, felt a wave of sleepiness coming and her eyes went dark, the experiment was halfway through.

When she felt her eyes brighten again, the separation experiment was 90% complete.

"Doctor?"

Kafka looked at the strange surroundings.

Tried to ask.

But all around was blank, neither objects nor reference points.

Looking around, there was only a blankness that couldn't be seen to the end.

Even there was no echo.

Naturally, there was no Lin Qi.

"Not here?"

Kafka blinked, her expression unchanged.

There was no panic that a normal person would have.

Not even a trace.

Even after waiting for a long time, it was still the same.

Don't know how long passed.

Lin Qi's voice sounded, with obvious regret.

"Kafka, I must apologize to you; the experiment failed, failed completely. Your consciousness cannot return to your real body, nor can it go to the Synesthetic Dream. And your consciousness will not dissipate, I'm afraid... you have to stay here forever, until the end of the universe, the coming of Terminus."

"..."

Kafka's expression was neither sad nor happy, and she replied calmly.

"Is that so?"

"Then I have to hope that Terminus comes early, otherwise it's really a bit boring."

After Kafka's voice fell, the whole space fell into silence again.

Just like just now.

As time passed, it was as if Lin Qi's voice just now was just a hallucination.

Never sounded.

If a normal person were here, they would have been unable to stay calm, and those with poor endurance would have symptoms like screaming, as if they were crazy.

And even those with strong psychological endurance couldn't avoid various probes, wanting to find a way out.

But Kafka didn't even move a step from beginning to end.

Her expression didn't change much either.

It was as if the one trapped wasn't her at all.

Time passed bit by bit.

Don't know how long passed.

When a figure appeared behind Kafka, Kafka's reaction was a bit bigger.

But only a bit.

"Doctor?"

At this time.

The one appearing behind Kafka was Lin Qi.

However, he didn't speak immediately, but stared at Kafka for a long time.

Seemed to be thinking about something.

After a long time.

Lin Qi sighed, "Now... the experiment is truly a failure."

Kafka smiled slightly, not too disappointed.

Instead, she comforted Lin Qi.

"Doctor, don't be discouraged, I believe you definitely have other ways."

"..."

Lin Qi was unable to hold it together for the first time.

He had to admit that Kafka was indeed quite something.

Not strength, but mentality.

Is this too strong?

"Kafka, didn't you feel any panic just now? If it really failed, you would have to stay here until the end of time!" Lin Qi asked.

"No panic, just felt a bit bored, thinking if there was a violin, it would be good," Kafka said with a smile.

"Alright, I underestimated you."

Lin Qi sighed.

Regarding Kafka's illness, this experimental plan obviously failed.

After consciousness was stripped, the illness wasn't solved.

At this time.

Kafka asked again, "Doctor, do you really have no other way?"

"It seems you still quite believe in my ability." Lin Qi felt amused.

"Of course, you are the most powerful genius in the universe, it's impossible for your ability to be only this much," Kafka said as a matter of course.

"Alright, seeing that you believe in me so much, I'll think of another plan for you, a very special treatment method," Lin Qi paused, changing the subject, "However, this plan also has certain risks, it depends on whether you accept it."

"Tell me." Kafka replied.

"Since stripping consciousness and body cannot make you return to normal, I am preparing to continue stripping your memory. Let you experience life from zero, and it's from childhood. In this process, you don't have the memory of your past life, you can understand it as a rebirth, the kind without unlocking the mystery of the womb," Lin Qi explained.

Kafka blinked her beautiful eyes, somewhat understanding Lin Qi's idea.

"If I don't bring the memory of this life to start over, maybe from the beginning, I can feel fear?"

"Pretty much." Lin Qi nodded.

"Then the risk?"

"The risk is that when you unlock the mystery of the womb and awaken the memory of your past life, you might not be able to distinguish who you are. Is it Kafka in reality, or Kafka in the dream? I can't guarantee this."

After finishing.
