Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 167

Chapter 167 Hunger

Thor hadn’t seen himself for a long, long, long time.

He was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that the person lying there was his past life.

A poor office worker who was nearly 30 years old, but had a scruffy beard and dark eyes.

To this day, he still doesn’t know why he traveled through time.

Did he die suddenly from working overtime late at night, or did he fall down from alcohol poisoning?

The memories before coming to this world seemed to be robbed, and all the experiences were blurred like a dream.

“So I am afraid of my death in my previous life? Is there something particularly terrifying in the part of my memory that I have forgotten?”

In the library, the white fog around gradually thickened and blurred the vision.

“Time is limited, and the mystery of time travel is obviously not something I can touch now.” Thor stretched out his hand to the human body in front of him, “If you keep exploring the unknown, you will fall into the unknown, so let it go.”

When his hand touched the person in front of him, Thor’s eyes suddenly blurred, the corpse disappeared, and the bookshelf turned back into thick books.

These books are different from books in other places. Each book is at least ten centimeters thick, and the books are all tied with thin silver chains.

A small card hung on the silver chain, with the name of the book written on it.

The fog began to hinder Thor’s vision, and the visibility around him became lower and lower.

If you stay in the depths of the library for a long time, you may get lost. This is also a way for mentors to prevent apprentices from rashly contacting too much knowledge.

He lay on the ground and quickly scanned the cards.

Before the bookshelf was completely submerged in the white fog, Thor finally selected two books.

He took out the two books, returned to the aisle between the bookshelves, and looked around.

After determining the direction he came from, he ran with the books.

The white fog became thicker and thicker.

Thor’s running speed became slower and slower.

Finally, when his speed was about to return to zero, Thor stepped out of the white fog.

The door of the library appeared in front of him, and the old librarian also appeared.

Thor hugged the book in his arms tightly and looked back.

The bookshelves behind him were still submerged in the light white fog, quiet and serene, waiting for people to read. Everything just now seemed like an illusion.

But even though he was almost left in the white fog, the diary did not issue a death warning.

Is this white mist not dangerous? Or is it because he has been promoted to the second-level apprentice?

“Do you want to borrow these two books?” The old administrator who was standing at the door suppressing his excitement, saw that Thor was not coming, and took the initiative to step forward.

Thor turned around when he heard the voice and found that the administrator was almost touching his face.

He quickly stepped aside to the right, “Yes.”

“Let me see.” The old administrator stretched out his hands and wanted to take Thor’s book.

In the past, except for reaching out to take money, he never took the initiative to contact apprentices.

Thor was caught off guard and failed to avoid the administrator’s hand, and the book in his arms was snatched away.

However, after the other party snatched the book, he just glanced at it lightly and immediately stuffed it back into Thor’s arms.

Everything happened so quickly as if nothing had happened.

“It is not recommended to borrow these two books for more than three days.” He even gave Thor a suggestion.

“Did this bad-tempered old man take medicine today?” Thor thought in surprise and thanked him again and again.

Before leaving the library, Thor couldn’t help but look back at the other party. But the old administrator put his hands behind his back and nodded to him with a smile.

After Thor left, the old administrator raised his hands and looked at them. The fingertips of both his hands were all short, as if they were swallowed by something.

But he smiled excitedly.

“You are right, it is the taste of freedom.”

…

Thor held the book in his hands, but did not return to the dormitory or go to the second warehouse.

He wanted to find a relatively safe place to read these two books.

For example, the laboratory of Teacher Kaz.

Each teacher’s laboratory has an apprentice stationed there for a long time. While tidying up the laboratory, he is also responsible for vigilance.

When something abnormal happens in the laboratory, the stationed apprentice will directly notify the instructor through their unique communication device.

If nothing unexpected happens, the instructor will arrive soon.

Thor had not been to Teacher Kaz’s laboratory for a long time. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a familiar figure.

Angeta was writing and drawing at the table, but she looked dazed and didn’t know what she was thinking. She looked a little haggard.

Thor had heard Mark mention that since entering the wizard tower, Angeta had never worked outside the laboratory.

No matter which senior was in charge of organizing the laboratory, she could always successfully apply for the position of assistant.

After a long time, all the apprentices of Kaz knew about her.

In Thor’s familiar words, seniors come and go, but Angeta remains the same.

She seemed to have never thought about changing jobs and had always stayed in the laboratory with peace of mind.

Thor walked in and sat directly at the table opposite Angeta.

The sound of the chair being dragged awakened Angeta, who was in a daze. She stood up subconsciously and looked at the door like a conditioned reflex.

Seeing that there was no one there, she belatedly noticed Thor opposite her.

“Thor, you haven’t been here for a long time.” She tried to smile, but the dark circles under her eyes became more obvious.

“Yeah.” Sol remembered Angeta’s split personality last night, and he rarely took the initiative to greet her, “You look very bad, are you sick?”

“No, no!” Angeta immediately refuted, but she quickly realized that her tone was too tough, and smiled awkwardly, “I just didn’t get enough rest recently.”

The other party was unwilling to elaborate, and Sol naturally wouldn’t interfere.

He put both books on the table, looked at the titles twice, then picked up one of them and began to carefully untie the chain on it.

Angeta looked at Sol’s head down reading, wanting to say something but stopping. After several torments, she finally couldn’t help but want to speak.

However, her right hand suddenly raised up, raised her index finger, and blocked her lips.

Hush…

Angeta blinked, and her eyes were instantly filled with tears.

She lowered her head, and two tears dripped on her robe, spreading a patch.

Angela quickly stood up the book, and carefully wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the cover of the book.

Thor did not notice Angela’s abnormality, as the contents of the book had already attracted all his attention.

The first book he opened was a collection of stories. It was about horrific nightmare-related events that had occurred in the wizarding world.

Thor quickly flipped through each story. He did not really want to read a strange story, but just wanted to find out if there was a mention of nightmare butterfly here.

Surprisingly, Thor really found the nightmare butterfly in the fifth story.

The story was very simple.

A very powerful official wizard suddenly discovered that his son had discovered his secret and wanted to use this secret to kill him and inherit all his inheritance.

The official wizard knew why his son wanted to kill him.

He was promoted to an official wizard in his early years, and his appearance remained in middle age. But his son was unable to break through the apprentice stage because he had no talent, and he was old.

The official wizard felt sorry for his son, and although he thwarted the conspiracy, he did not punish him.

Unfortunately, his son did not repent, and took the opportunity to admit his mistake and launched another sneak attack.

This time, the official wizard directly killed his son.

But at the moment of action, he realized that he was the son.

Before that, he had the memory of a formal wizard for some reason, confusing his own existence.

At the moment of death, the son saw a beautiful silver butterfly flying away from his eyes.

At this point in the story, the perspective became an unknown narrator.

He said that when the butterfly flew out of his son’s brain, it was caught by the formal wizard. After several inquiries, he finally confirmed that the butterfly was actually a nightmare butterfly, which is also very rare in the wizarding world!

But not long after, the formal wizard also died.

Before he died, he dug out his eyes, pierced his eardrums, cut off his nose, and finally jumped n*ked into the earth fire and was burned to death by the flames.

Before he died, he kept shouting: “It’s all fake, it’s all fake!”

Seeing this, Thor closed the book.

“The nightmare butterfly can really affect people’s consciousness, or copy the consciousness of others. If the subject’s willpower is not enough, it will lose itself…”

Suddenly, Thor’s stomach felt a burning hunger. The desire for food interrupted his thoughts.

Food…

Sol looked up and saw Angela, who had red eyes and was reading a book.

Sol swallowed his saliva.
