125. Go home. (Part 1)

The professor's head no longer resembled a human, looking like the mythical Gorgon, with a head full of disgusting tentacles, and her left eye was pierced by a red-black dark crystal blade, protruding from its socket, giving an inexplicable dark humor vibe.

Her vitality was tenacious; even with her head removed, the face covered in hair-like muscle fibers continued to twitch, her eyes deeply imprinted with unwillingness but without a trace of regret—this made Li Aozi believe that even if she could start over, the professor would still choose to create the Abyss Humanitarian Relief Organization.

Li Aozi had heard a joke: If a 【Biochemist】 looks old, it means their technical path has reached its end, limited to themselves and their era.

He vaguely remembered seeing wrinkles at the corner of the professor's eyes before she shed her skin.

Perhaps her skills were just that.

Clearly, while Azure Star had gamma-level powerhouses, their occurrence was extremely rare, thanks to the right time, place, and people—such situations, among nearly ten billion people on the planet, only a few emerged.

In such an environment, attempting to artificially create power beyond the beta level was as absurd as inventing a "perpetual motion machine."

Was the professor wrong?

From an absolute materialist standpoint, the professor wasn't wrong.

After all, her contributions to science were indeed significant.

Even though many lives were sacrificed, those people would die sooner or later anyway, whether from being exploited by capitalism or dying on a hospital bed; dying on the right path to contribute to science seemed more worthwhile.

Conversely, if everyone is destined to die, why not use presidents, businessmen, workers, and soldiers—including scientists—as scientific experiments?

What, then, is the meaning of humanity?

In this way, is humanity truly researching science or becoming slaves to technology and knowledge?

Li Aozi couldn't be bothered to ponder these matters.

The higher the 【Intelligence】, the more painful life becomes.

So, he drew his long knife and pressed his palm on the opponent's face.

"Professor, I'm going to extract your soul and enchant the toilet with it."

【Life Severance】 activated, neural tentacles pierced into the professor's skull, extracting her remaining life and soul.

【You have extracted the life of a target; you can choose to refine its abilities and personality】

【Refinement complete】

【You obtained [Human Amber] (small) — can be used to create equipment of "Craft" quality or higher.】

【You obtained [Unwilling Soul] (large) — can be used to heal soul damage, create equipment of "Craft" quality or higher, or as eerie spellcasting material.】

【Note: This soul retains some consciousness; you can interrogate or torture it using eerie methods.】

【Through refinement, you obtained the personality and abilities of 'Abyss Professor—Yeliev Haston'; choose two from the following options】:

A. 《Professor-Level • Pharmacokinetics》— any potion you make will have immediate effects.

B. 【Personality Simulation: Abyss Professor】— you can transform the profession 【Biochemist】 into your secondary profession.
