0281 save one step (Ch 0281)

After lunch, Dong Si walked into the reference room with trepidation.

“Lord Orochimaru, I’m here.” Dong Si’s voice was steady and respectful, and his eyes were cautious.

“Come here.” Orochimaru sat with his back against the desk, facing the door, obviously waiting for Dong Si’s arrival, thus revealing his eagerness. His snake-like cold eyes instantly focused on Dong Si, like locking onto prey.

Confident, Dong Si approached with steady steps, stood tall in front of Orochimaru, his eyes firm and somewhat humble.

Orochimaru picked up a scroll on the table and motioned for Toushi to read it first, then said, “Toushi, take a look at this and tell me what you think.”

“Yes, Lord Orochimaru.” Dong Si took the scroll solemnly and read it attentively. His brows were sometimes furrowed, sometimes relaxed, and his eyes were shining with thinking.

After a moment, Dong Si raised his head and said with a firm look, “Master Orochimaru, this scroll of yours records the method of splitting the spirit body, as well as the means of attaching the spirit body with a seal and sealing it into the target. However, the success rate you recorded here is zero.”

“That’s right, zero success rate, all 100 test subjects died.” Orochimaru said calmly, as if the death of these test subjects was not surprising. “What do you think about this problem?”

Dong Si quickly calmed down his disgust, looked down at the record on the scroll again, and said after thinking for a moment, “Sir, perhaps the spirit body you split according to the principle of [Shadow Clone Technique] is not suitable as a host soul split body. There is a difference between the two.”

“Oh?” Orochimaru’s eyes flashed with curiosity, and the corners of his mouth rose, “Tell me in detail.”

“The spirit you created through the principle of Shadow Clone Technique is naturally more mature and has an overactive consciousness. And I think that once such a spirit is sealed into another person’s body, it will strongly want to break free. You should really divide your soul and let the small soul body grow and adapt again like a newborn baby. Perhaps this is the only way to succeed.” Dong Si explained in a steady tone, neither humble nor arrogant. Since he came to the conclusion based on special “memories”, he had a certain degree of confidence in his heart.

“Is this really the only way…” After hearing this, Orochimaru fell into a brief contemplation with deep eyes, as if he was weighing the pros and cons of this plan.

After a moment, Orochimaru asked again, “Toushi-kun, do you know how to split the soul?”

Dong Si’s heart moved, thinking: Orochimaru must know the method of splitting the soul, but those methods are more risky. There are many relevant records in this data room. But since Orochimaru asked this, he must want to get a less harmful and more reliable method.

Dong Si was prepared. He took a deep breath and said, “I do have an idea. I wonder if it will be acceptable to Lord Orochimaru.”

Hearing Dong Si’s words, Orochimaru raised the corners of his mouth and narrowed his eyes. That smile made Dong Si feel a little cold in his heart.

“Write the method on this scroll and let me see it.” Orochimaru picked up a blank scroll from the bookshelf and placed it on the table.

Dong Si did not dare to hesitate, and immediately picked up the pen and began to write attentively on the blank scroll.

His method was based on the [Memory Seal] given by Minato, and was rewritten as [Memory Division]. Minato’s memory sealing technique originated from the Uzumaki clan, who had a deep understanding of the soul. Among them, the so-called “memory” is actually the “soul”. To put it simply, [Memory Seal] is to first divide a designated part of the soul body, and then use the sealing method to seal it independently.

At this time, the [Memory Split] written by Dong Si actually saves one step compared to [Memory Seal].
