บท 43: Sakun

Lu Zhiyu poured a test tube of blood plasma into the slot at the top of the biological chamber. He pressed a button and the blood was injected into the seahorse. A day later, the seahorse's consciousness and memories were wiped completely. Then, Lu Zhiyu tried to place the soul of the Tree of Life into the seahorse. However, the soul was met with strong resistance, and the seahorse died almost immediately!

As he extracted the soul of the Tree of Life, Lu Zhiyu found that the soul had been weakened as well. The soul, which had been pure and without any form of consciousness before, had become tainted by the seahorse's mind. As Lu Zhiyu observed it, he sensed some very chaotic and confusing waves of consciousness being emitted.

Lu Zhiyu tried the same thing with several different kinds of sea creatures and failed every time. The contamination of the once-pure soul was becoming increasingly severe. Lu Zhiyu knew that if he kept failing, the soul would fall apart.
