Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 156
Chapter 156 What are you looking for?
“Teacher, if I choose the exit, will I connect with you?”
“Any teacher is possible. The projects that Teacher Tari is researching are more or less related to death.” Teacher Kaz hinted.
If it was before, Thor might not have thought too much.
But since he knew that the tower master wanted to resurrect Mrs. Euler, he immediately guessed whether these research projects were all related to resurrecting Mrs. Euler?
If that was really the case, then Lord Gorza was unexpectedly an infatuated person!
I always felt that it didn’t match his appearance and personality.
“Teacher, I want to choose the job of the exit.” Thor didn’t let Kaz wait too long and made his own choice.
“You are as bold as ever.” Kaz showed a strange smile on his gloomy expression. I don’t know if he was satisfied with Thor’s choice.
He turned his head to the corridor on the right and raised his voice, “Ku Jin!”
After waiting for about ten seconds, the door of the corridor on the right slowly opened, and a tall man walked out.
He looked nearly two meters tall, and Thor now looked like a tiny person in front of him. The name tag on his chest clearly showed that he was a third-level apprentice.
“When can I grow taller?” As Ku Jin approached, Thor’s neck lifted up little by little until it reached a very awkward angle.
In front of Kaz, Ku Jin tried to calm himself down, but his drooping mouth corners still revealed his reluctance.
“Teacher Kaz.”
“Get ready now and hand over the work to Thor.” Kaz didn’t explain, didn’t introduce, and didn’t give Ku Jin a chance to fight for it, and directly pronounced the final result.
Ku Jin looked at Thor, noticed the brand new name tag on his chest, and his cheeks bulged and shrank, bulged and shrank.
He still couldn’t help it, “Teacher Kaz, let such a newcomer take over the work, what if he messes up…”
“That’s his business.” Kaz waved his hand, he was always impatient in this regard.
Ku Jin had to swallow back all his complaints.
If Ku Jin standing here was just a second-level apprentice, he would definitely not dare to say a word of nonsense.
“Yes.” Ku Jin lowered his head and turned to Thor, “Come over.”
Thor followed Ku Jin and took two steps, but found that Teacher Kaz didn’t follow.
He looked back at Teacher Kaz, only to find that he was looking at him with a complicated expression.
Seeing Thor looking back, the emotions on Kaz’s face were hidden under the wrinkles, “Go, why do you want me to see you off?”
Thor stopped and bowed to Kaz, “Teacher, take care.”
Kaz snorted and walked away quickly with his hands behind his back.
Thor turned around again and saw that Ku Jin was almost at the door. He quickly ran two steps to catch up.
“There are hundreds of materials here, but this one is the most common.” Ku Jin said, pushing open the heavy door.
Behind the door, there is an extremely bright world. There
are so many candlesticks here that Thor was dazzled when he just looked over.
When he got used to the brightness inside, he saw that there were many people standing inside the door.
His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately held his breath, followed Ku Jin, and walked in slowly.
Behind this third door, there were hundreds of people standing neatly.
People were arranged neatly, and everyone was one meter apart. Legs together, hands hanging naturally.
It was like they were standing at attention.
But they all had their eyes closed, and the skin on their faces was as pale as paper.
Looking closely, no one’s chest was still rising and falling.
These were all dead people!
“Are you scared?” Ku Jin stared at Thor’s reaction, as if he wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
But Thor did not lose his composure except that his face became more serious.
“Fortunately, I worked in the morgue on the second floor before, and I have seen many strange corpses.”
“Hehe,” Ku Jin raised the corner of his mouth with disdain, “What you have seen can only be called corpses. Now these people in front of you were at least second-level apprentices when they were alive.”
“At least second-level apprentices?” Thor was a little surprised, “Are there many third-level apprentices here?”
“The most powerful here are formal wizards.” Ku Jin said, enjoying Thor’s wide eyes and slightly open mouth.
But Thor quickly restrained his emotions and asked immediately: “There must be many requirements and taboos to manage these corpses?”
“There are only two taboos here.”
“First, keep at least 81 candlesticks in the room lit.”
“Second, materials marked with serial numbers are not allowed to be touched or moved.”
The fewer taboos there are, the more they cannot be violated.
“There are a lot of rules, all written in the manual over there, you can just take a look at it later.”
Thor remembered the two taboos firmly in his heart, but still had a doubt, “Senior Ku Jin, are the two taboos also written in the book?”
“…Yes, on the first page. You don’t have to worry that I will lie to you.” Ku Jin stepped forward, “You are the only one who will die if you break the taboo, but if I deliberately fail to fulfill my duty during the handover, I can’t escape either.”
Ku Jin, who was tall, passed by a corpse and his arm rubbed against it, causing the corpse to tilt a little.
He immediately stopped and straightened the corpse.
Thor silently noted this, thinking about looking for this rule in the manual later.
Passing through this group of dead people, it was the tall cabinet commonly seen in warehouses. There were many storage equipment displayed on the cabinet.
Bottles and jars, boxes and pockets, as well as metal brackets, running water soil, etc.
Thor followed Ku Jin and walked into the passage in the middle of the cabinet.
There was a wide space at the end of the cabinet away from the wall, which should be where Ku Jin usually studied and researched.
Thor saw a five-meter-long table and cabinets nailed to the wall and the ground.
The long table was very clean, and it was obvious that it had been deliberately cleaned. I don’t know if it was Ku Jin’s personality or it was just a temporary cleanup.
If it was the latter, it means that before Thor came, Ku Jin already knew that his job might be replaced by a newcomer.
Thor thought to himself: “Maybe, this job was actually arranged for me by the tower master?”
After all, Gorza was the first person in the wizard tower to know that Thor had been promoted and was about to return to the tower.
Moreover, Thor had always suspected that the tower master was behind the scenes to arrange for him to get the opportunity to work in the morgue.
I hope that the tower master really only likes his soul talent.
Ku Jin took out the rule book and handed Thor three quills.
The quills were exaggeratedly large, and the overall length even exceeded Thor’s arm.
“This is a communication pen. Once the instructor needs it, this pen will write down the requirements on paper. Although the instructor will issue requirements after 3 pm most of the time, if he is in a hurry, it is possible that he will ask you to get up
in the middle of the night to prepare things. You can put one in the dormitory as a backup, or you can choose to live here.” “Live here?” Thor was stunned. “Aren’t we required to leave the East Tower before 8 pm?”
Ku Jin moved his things to the trailer next to the table. “This is one of the most dangerous places in the East Tower, but it is also the safest place.”
Because the things were already packed, Ku Jin moved all his things in a few seconds.
He pushed the cart and looked at Thor with a squint, condescending, “As long as you don’t break the taboos.”
After saying that, he pushed the cart away.
The hourglass clock was behind Thor. He looked back and found that it was only a little after nine in the morning.
Thor picked up the manual and flipped through it twice. “Second warehouse rules?”
There were more than a dozen pages filled with words, but there were also more than a dozen blank pages at the end, as if waiting for people to add new rules at any time.
The two taboos mentioned by Ku Jin were indeed clearly written on the first page of the manual.
Apart from these two taboos, the first page did not record anything else.
Thor flipped through the book from beginning to end and checked the entire book again. He found no places that had been erased or modified, and no magical fluctuations remained.
He then put the book back on the table.
“It’s still a long time before three o’clock in the afternoon.” Thor’s bony fingers tapped back and forth on the table, making a crisp sound. “Let’s check the body and soul again, and let more professional people find out where the black shadow is hiding.”
Although Byron and Nick had checked and found no other souls in Thor’s body, Thor’s experience last night made him sure that there was a ghost hiding beside him.
This time, he planned to find the physician apprentice who was responsible for checking the physical and mental health of apprentices in the wizard tower.
It would cost a lot of credits.
But spending credits was better than having an unknown spirit hiding around him all the time.
Thor had just taken a step when he heard a voice beside him.
“What are you looking for? Me?”
A black shadow suddenly appeared in front of Thor, blocking his way.
Thor looked up and met a pair of charming red eyes.
