Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 169

Chapter 169 Surgery

Thor was very polite, but his attitude was not to be refused.

Hayden hesitated for a long time, but finally agreed.

Because Thor added another sentence outside the door.

“Senior Hayden, do you know why apprentices who cannot be promoted to level three at the age of 30 will be expelled from the wizard tower?”

Hayden’s hand clenched on the door suddenly tightened. He stared at Thor’s name tag and finally opened the door.

“Then come in. I’m not used to other places.”

Thor readily agreed and stepped into the second morgue, which was almost closed to outsiders.

As soon as Thor entered, he was shocked by the layout inside.

It was too neat and clean!

Unlike Thor’s messy laboratory table and the cabinets that were filled to the brim, Hayden’s morgue was as neat and clean as… an exhibition hall?

The innermost wall was lined with display cabinets, from the ground to the ceiling.

Each display cabinet was equipped with a glass door, so that people could clearly see what was stored inside.

From top to bottom, these cabinets contain parts of human or other creatures, such as hair, eyes, nose, and feet.

The colors also gradually deepen from left to right.

But Thor could see at a glance that most of the limbs were normal.

In other words, they were all useless materials.

Hayden’s workbench was also unusually neat, and even the conveyor belts connecting the left and right sides were clean, without a trace of dirt.

“Senior Hayden is really… good at storage.”

Hayden clasped his hands together and pinched each other’s knuckles.

“I just like to do something.”

Thor had never seen Hayden in the public class of the first-level apprentices. I’m afraid that the other party has spent all his energy in the morgue.

“Thor, you said that you will leave the tower at the age of thirty. Isn’t it because the tower master thinks that people with insufficient qualifications will waste the resources in the tower?”

“I don’t know if there is a reason in this regard, but the most important reason is…” Thor dragged out his voice, but suddenly stopped when Hayden looked at him anxiously.

Hayden waited for a long time, and when he saw that Thor didn’t speak, he immediately understood what he meant.

He stopped asking about this matter and discussed the business.

“Thor, you said you wanted to take something out of the eye. Can you describe its properties?”

Thor took out a few reagents from his arms.

“I have already thought of the surgical plan, and I always carry the materials I need with me. It’s just that it’s not very convenient to operate on my own eyes, so I came to trouble Senior Hayden.”

Hayden was stunned. It turned out that he was just a tool. “Okay, then what do you need me to do?”

Thor carefully explained the surgical process to Hayden.

Hayden’s mouth opened a little bit, and exclamations such as “This works?” and “Is it true?” kept flying through his mind.

After explaining the process, Thor left Hayden, whose brain was overloaded, and began to prepare the potion.

He had thought about taking out the cocoon of the nightmare butterfly a long time ago, so he had made a lot of preparations.

This time, Hayden will be responsible for taking the cocoon, and Thor will be responsible for grabbing and sealing it at the last moment.

Yes, although Thor is the one who performs the operation, he also has a very important task.

Whether it was the experience of Thor getting the cocoon and it inexplicably entering his eyes, or the ending in the story where the flying butterfly was caught by the wizard but still killed the wizard in the end, Thor realized that this butterfly was not a quiet guy.

The good news is that the Nightmare Butterfly is still just a cocoon now, and the future villain has not grown up yet. The diary does not indicate that it will hurt Thor.

Thor can now choose to kill it directly or retrain it.

Both options are risky, so for now, he should take out the cocoon first to avoid being affected by nightmares.

Soon he mixed two test tubes of medicine.

One is a pure transparent liquid, a little sticky, but it has problems flowing and will not hang on the inner wall.

The other is a purple liquid with tiny bubbles.

“Senior Hayden, are you ready? The reagent will start to take effect within five minutes after swallowing, and the effect will also last for five minutes.”

“Okay.” Hayden took a deep breath, “This is the first time I’m attacking a living person. If it hurts you… do you want to take another dose of painkillers?”

Thor tilted his head back and put the purple potion into his mouth.

Frowning and swallowing the aftertaste in his mouth, Thor glanced at the hourglass.

“No need,” he said as he walked over and lay directly on the conveyor platform where the corpse was originally placed. “The painkiller will affect my judgment.”

Hayden also knew that Thor was a ruthless person, so he stopped persuading him and walked to the tool table, picked up a thin needle, and began to disinfect quickly according to Thor’s request.

“Disinfection?” Hayden thought, “Is this the difference between performing ‘surgery’ on a living person and a dead person?”

An operation involving both the doctor and the patient began.

Because the doctor was still a novice in dealing with living people – this honest and low-key Hayden had never done any living experiments – so the patient had to guide the doctor from time to time according to his own feelings on how to cut.

The operation lasted a total of four minutes and thirty-five seconds.

Although there was panic in the middle, the total duration of the operation did not exceed the effective time of the drug.

In the last twenty-five seconds, Hayden finally used the smallest tweezers to clip out the cocoon hidden in Thor’s pupil.

He raised the tweezers to see what had mixed into Thor’s eyes. But as soon as his eyes fell on the small silver ball, he was attracted by this beautiful little ball.

It was just a silver ball the size of a grain of rice, which quickly grew larger after being exposed to the air.

The silver surface shone with the brilliance of stars, and the deep and quiet feeling made Hayden feel like he was looking up at the starry sky in the wilderness.

He immersed himself unconsciously, and raised the tweezers closer to his eyes little by little, as if he wanted to insert it directly into his eyeball.

Suddenly, a white bone hand appeared in front of Hayden.

The white bone rubbed Hayden’s cheek and snatched the silver ball away.

“No!” Hayden was about to get angry subconsciously.

But when he saw Thor’s appearance, his swollen brain was immediately poured with a handful of cold water.

Thor had already sat up from the transmission platform, and his left eye frame was still clamped with a fixator responsible for holding the eyelid open.

A trace of blood overflowed from Thor’s eyelid and flowed all the way to his jaw.

His originally black left eye had now turned into a dull dark gray.

This was the effect of Hayden’s simple treatment.

But Thor didn’t care about his currently blind left eye at all. He just quickly threw the cocoon he snatched into the transparent liquid he prepared, and then sealed the bottle mouth with a wooden cork. The

transparent liquid overflowed a little, and the rest filled the entire test tube.

The silver ball floated up and down in the reagent, as if someone was constantly teasing it with a thin string.

After confirming that it was sealed, Thor threw the test tube to Hayden.

Hayden quickly reached out to catch it, and was terrified.

“It was very dangerous to observe like that just now. Now you can look.”

But this time Hayden just glanced at it and quickly returned the test tube to Thor.

“No, no, no, although this thing has been sealed by you, it is still very dangerous for me. I won’t look at it any more. My sanity almost fell just now.”

This time Hayden’s attitude was lowered.

He became more and more certain in his heart that Thor had far surpassed him in many fields.

Seeing that Hayden gave up continuing to observe, Thor put the test tube away.

“This thing is a great test of willpower.” Thor thought of the little girl Penny, “But I guess that people with pure hearts will not be easily affected.”

Hayden’s expression was gloomy. He could not achieve either of these two points.

If he had a strong will, he would not be just a first-level apprentice until now.

Thor picked up a roll of gauze from the tool bench and wrapped it diagonally around his head, covering his left eye.

Hayden stood quietly by and watched, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Thor knew what he wanted to ask, and directly answered the question he had left for Hayden before entering the door.

“When a wizard stays in a certain realm for a long time, he will attract unknown terrors. The longer he stays, the greater the possibility of being contaminated. The lower the strength, the faster the terror will be attracted. In order to prevent apprentices from becoming pollutants, the Wizard Tower will regularly expel apprentices who are too old.”

“Compared to other forces that turn unqualified apprentices into experimental materials when their term expires, the Wizard Tower can be considered gentle.”
