Moreover, Lingna had mentioned before that Mr. Fischer was very kind and approachable, suggesting that if one needed to find someone, his help could be sought.
After some thought, with a blush on her face, Moli covered her chest and earnestly looked up to respond,
"I trust Mr. Fischer, so I won’t hide anything from you. If you want to do research, that’s fine as well. But could Mr. Fischer also tell me more about humans? After all... after all, I am your student assistant, and we should be... be open with each other..."
These words had been previously spoken to her by Fischer amidst magic lessons, and she evidently remembered them clearly.
"There’s no need to be so formal... Research is reciprocal, and you can ask me anything you want at any time."
Fischer smiled and waited for her to take a sip of coffee before taking out the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual in front of her.
Of course, she couldn’t see it, but rows of illusory text appeared before only Fischer’s own eyes.
[Researchable Subjects: 0/2]
[Moli, Juvenile Whale-man Species]
Indeed, now Fischer was about to bind Moli so that later research would yield rewards. However, Fischer was still skeptical about whether she really was the "Mysterious Sea Child" and intended to look for differences between her and other Whale-man Species later on.
Fischer had discerned a pattern: all these Doomsday beings were the most unique within their own species.
It could be distinctive in thought, in traits, or in bodily strength...
Since "Son of the Sea" lacked specific adjectives like "Red Dragon Queen" or "Undead Witch" and was only described as "mysterious," Fischer was yet to understand what this meant.
But since researching the Whale-man Species provided two opportunities, this gave Fischer some leeway for trial and error. After understanding the Whale-man Species’ society and physiological structure and knowing about the Ocean Subhuman ecology, it would probably be easier to pinpoint the exact identity of the Doomsday being.
With his consciousness, he touched "Bind," and a familiar pain swept over Fischer’s body, but this time, presumably because of his Soul Ascension, he could clearly see how the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual was binding a demi-human.
The pages of the Completion Manual lit up with the script of the Whale-man Species, from which countless illusory golden threads surged forth, linking to Fischer’s soul from the void. The connection technique, though gentle, sent agonizing shocks through his soul, like painful electric currents, and even after an Ascension, the pain of the soul remained unabated.
So, the intense pain originated from the soul, not the body—no wonder it hurt so much.
Fischer tried to maintain a composed expression, sitting in his office chair as though countless complex connections were forming between him and the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual. But since there was no connection to Moli, only he experienced the pain during the binding process. The Completion Manual was relentless in tormenting him alone.
"I’m okay, just thinking about some things."
Moli had sensed that something was off and was about to approach him when Fischer shook his head, regaining composure, signaling that he was just pondering over some matter.
He had completed the binding successfully, and new text appeared before him,
[Whale-man Species Biological Research Progress: 2%]
[Whale-man Species Societal Research Progress: 0%]
The Demi-human Girls Completion Manual warmed slightly, and then the golden glow faded slowly. It became an ordinary book again, similar to a fairy tale book.
