"Lord Harvey, please, please don't let me die in too much pain..."

Harvey smiled helplessly; this was the third time that this advanced lung cancer patient had pleaded with him.

No matter how he explained to the other party, the various strange devices placed in this laboratory still terrified Reiner.

A strange humanoid body constructed of bony human bones and cold metal.

There are several belt clips installed, which are obviously used to tie up the subject to the recliner.

And other experimental instruments related to necromancy...

Even ordinary people who are about to die still instinctively feel fear towards these mysterious and strange things.

This is normal.

Harvey carefully helped Reiner down from the wheelchair, half hugged and half embraced him to the recliner, and secured him there as gently as possible.

He could clearly feel Reiner trembling with fear and the chattering sound of his upper and lower teeth.

"Don't be nervous. I won't cause any specific harm to your body during the experiment." Harvey tried to calm the other person.

"I will first give you a cup of Epiphyllum Juice. After drinking it, you will fall into a deep sleep."

Reiner's gray face showed a look of relief, and he murmured, "Great! This way, even if the experiment fails, I will die peacefully in my sleep."

Harvey nodded and held a cup of pale yellow liquid to Reiner's lips.

"Thank you, Lord Harvey. I mean, even if it wasn't because of the experiment, thank you for freeing me..." Reiner pulled the corners of his mouth hard, then opened his mouth and drank the medicine.

Seeing the other party drink the sedative potion and gradually calm down on the recliner, Harvey breathed a sigh of relief and began to busily debug the equipment.

The soul extractor powered by magical energy is the focus of his experiment this time.

In order to build this equipment, he spent almost half of the business investment given to him by his colleagues in the college.

High-quality magic stones produced by the dwarven mines in the dungeons and spell coordinators made by the high elves.

And the metal prosthesis assembled by the Alchemy Exploration Society that can be powered by magic energy.

Harvey performed this experimental procedure countless times, and various insects, birds, and mammals were used in experimental attempts.

Unfortunately, either direct extraction fails or porting is not possible.

The best time was when the extraction was successful and the tissue was transferred to the alchemical prosthesis smoothly, but the survival time did not exceed 12 hours.

Harvey believes that the soul energy of these non-intelligent creatures is too weak. Most of them are driven solely by animal instinct and cannot withstand the delicate experimental operations at the soul level.

Although Reiner volunteered completely, Harvey was unwilling to treat him as pure experimental material like other non-human creatures.

After all, this is our own kind, a living person.

…

After finishing debugging the equipment, Harvey took a deep breath to calm his mind.

Inject magical energy and activate the coordinator.

The metal tube connects the experimental subject to open the soul transfer channel.

Connecting to the soul core and opening the alchemical prosthetic inscription device.

Although the soul is invisible and intangible, the gradually filling light of the soul core lets Harvey know clearly that Reiner's soul is gradually transferring from the dying body into it.

After waiting for the soul core to be fully charged, Harvey summoned the wizard's hand and carefully removed it from the coordinator.

Place it steadily into the core card slot that has been prepared long ago on the chest of the alchemical prosthesis.

The prosthesis made of metal and bones is densely engraved with countless arcane inscriptions, which are the key to transplanting the soul and re-controlling the prosthesis.

Looking at the inscriptions on the prosthesis, they gradually lit up one by one starting from the core of the chest until they spread to the entire torso.

"Success!"

Harvey clenched his fists excitedly. In past experiments, he had never lit up so many inscriptions at once.

As expected, only the souls of intelligent creatures can possess such enormous soul energy.

Before Harvey could continue to observe the progress of the experiment, the eyes of the humanoid alchemical prosthesis, which had a white bone skull partially inlaid with metal, suddenly lit up with two balls of faint blue light.

There was an unpleasant sound of metal rubbing against bone.

"Ha, Lord Harvey? I, what's wrong with me? Am I not dead yet?"

Harvey was startled and moved closer to observe, only to find that the alchemical head was turning its neck with difficulty, as if trying to figure out the situation.

"Reiner?"

"Lord Harvey, I...was my experiment successful?" Reiner's soul, which had just been transferred, was still a little confused and made intermittent sounds.

"It seems to be basically successful at the moment." Harvey reached out and grasped the prosthetic's bony hand, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Reiner, this may be a rebirth for you."

Reiner was visibly stunned, the blue fire in his eyes flickering, "I, indeed, can't feel the pain in my lungs anymore."

Harvey smiled and walked forward, dismantling all the fixing buckles of the Alchemy prosthesis, and said to Reiner expectantly: "Now, try to raise your hand."

Reiner nodded dumbly, and the inscription on his chest instantly lit up, quickly spreading to his right arm.

He slowly raised his arm, tentatively opened his bony palm, and grasped something in the air.

"Try your other hand."

"Yes, turn your head. Uh, don't turn it 360 degrees, or you'll twist your head off."

"Step out with your left foot and lift your knee."

"Right foot, try raising your knee as well..."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6-9!

Apart from a slightly poor balance, Reiner quickly adapted to the new body. Harvey became more and more satisfied, and his tone couldn't help but become cheerful.

"Okay, now try jumping on the spot and keep your balance."

Reiner followed his instructions, manipulating the clumsy metal prosthesis to squat slightly, then quickly jump up.

Bang!

An accident happened. After jumping up and falling down, Reiner obviously couldn't keep his balance. He fell to his knees and hit the ground heavily.

The inscriptions that originally lit up the entire body and limbs were instantly extinguished, leaving only the core area on the chest and the head.

Harvey was shocked and quickly turned over Reiner, who was lying face down on the ground and motionless.

The light of the soul core is extinguished!

Could it be that the energy was exhausted and the experiment failed?

I killed a good man...

Before Harvey began to feel sad, the blue fire in the alchemical head's eye sockets lit up again, but it became much dimmer.

Reiner said faintly: "Master Harvey, I don't even feel any pain when I fall to the ground like this."

"I was so scared, Reiner, I thought you were dead."

"How do you feel now? Do you feel anything other than the lack of pain?"

Reiner didn't move, only the blue soul fire flashed in his eyes.

"Master Harvey, I feel like I can't move. It's like I'm completely exhausted."

Harvey nodded and began to check Reiner's alchemical prosthesis.

He was surprised to find that despite the death of his soul core, Reiner was clearly still alive, though only the alchemical inscriptions on his chest and head were still lit.

This means that Reiner's soul has left the core and merged into this body.

Thinking of this, Harvey quickly took out another new magic energy core and reinstalled it into the prosthetic card slot.

"Ah! Master Harvey, I can control my new body again! It's amazing!"

Reiner sat up unsteadily, supporting himself on the ground with his hands.

Sure enough, as long as he replaced the core made of the Philosopher's Stone to power Reiner's alchemical body, he would be able to keep moving.

"Reiner, you've become a battery man now." Harvey couldn't help but make a joke.

"What is a battery man?" Reiner symbolically scratched the back of his bald metal head with his bony fingers.

"Uh, it's okay, you get up first and let me complete the subsequent debugging and inspection."

"Yes, Master Harvey."

Harvey quickly split and recorded each piece of data of the alchemical prosthesis in order to ensure the accuracy of the experiment.

After all, this is the first time that human souls are used as experimental subjects, so it cannot be too cautious.

While they were busy, the magic doorbell at the door of the manor laboratory suddenly rang.

Harvey was stunned. Someone came to visit at this time? Could it be a new applicant?
