Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 33

Chapter 33: Hardcover book upgraded?

Thor once again observed the piece of meat on the teleportation platform with a semi-immersive perspective. This time, it was no longer covered with the vague holy light.

Suddenly, Thor sensed something.

He suddenly turned his head to look at the teleportation port, and a pair of eyes behind the black tassels were staring at him in horror.

Thor walked towards the teleportation port with the bone-chopping knife with minced meat and blood.

He lifted the black leather tassel and saw the person crawling backwards inside.

The light from the room slanted into the teleportation port, cutting a dividing line of light and darkness on the person’s face.

Thor narrowed his eyes and guessed the person’s identity.

“Senior, this is our first meeting. Come over and chat.”

“Ah, that, haha…” Hayden glanced at the knife in Thor’s right hand and swallowed his saliva. “I, I just think that the corpse seems a little weird, and I want to come and see if you need any help.”

Thor smiled.

“Thank you so much. I’m just too busy here. Can you help me move it in?”

“Look at me…” He showed Hayden his thin body, “I’m young and weak. I can’t move such heavy things.”

Hayden’s smile froze on his face. He was just being polite!

But seeing that Thor was still holding the bone chopping knife tightly in his right hand, Hayden compromised.

He crawled out of the teleportation port step by step, “Haha, you are too young, ten years old? Senior, come and help you move it.”

“Wait a minute.” Thor suddenly threw the bone chopping knife back to the tool table, making a clanging sound, and then turned back to Hayden with a bright smile.

“Senior, I’m kidding, you really came here like this? Go back quickly, this is not a passage for living people to walk. I can do these jobs by myself, otherwise the instructor may misunderstand that I am not suitable for this job.” “

Ah? Well, you can call me if you need me.” Hayden froze in the middle of the road and had no choice but to retreat.

Thor stood at the portal, lifted the tassel, and coldly watched Hayden retreat step by step, and finally retreated to his room.

The tassel on the opposite side fell, and the light shining into the passage from that side was blocked.

This passage is three meters long, about one meter wide and high. It is surrounded by thick walls, separating the two rooms.

If it weren’t for the passage in the middle, the sound insulation of the room must be very good.

Thor put down the tassel and looked up. The candlelight on the portal had turned dim again.

That’s all for today’s work.

But there are still some finishing touches to be done.

So he pushed the big box under the workbench to the side of the conveyor belt, and then picked up the bone chopping knife again to scrape the meat off the conveyor belt bit by bit.

A round thing fell along the edge of the conveyor belt, bounced on the ground a few times, and finally rolled to the door and was blocked by the door.

What is that?

Thor walked to the door with the knife in hand, ready to attack at any time.

After approaching and taking a closer look, he found that the thing on the ground seemed to be… an eyeball?

The hardcover book flew up again and appeared in front of Thor, who immediately became alert.

[New Moon Calendar Year 314, June 24, Sunny.

Today is a really good day. You dodged the attack of a cunning enemy, sent him to where he should be, and gained a Phantom Sound Eye.

It’s really strange, why can eyes speak?

Or do you think the eyes are talking?]

Thor didn’t quite understand the content of the hardcover book this time.

He didn’t understand how he died?

Eyes? Hallucinations?

Would his eyes split? Would his mouth disappear, or would it be sealed?

And Thor noticed that after the date on the hardcover book, there was a sudden description of the weather, which he remembered had never been there before.

Just as Thor froze in place, not knowing what to choose, the hardcover book flew back to his left shoulder.

But he didn’t do anything?

Thor’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought, “Isn’t this a death notice? Rather, a kind of identification technique similar to an item introduction?”

Thor turned his head to look at the hardcover book on his left shoulder, “Dude, have you upgraded?”

Unfortunately, the hardcover book remained silent and still ignored him.

“Hey, you should give yourself a brief introduction first.”

Despite his guess, Thor remained alert, holding the bone-chopping knife in his hand tightly, and slowly approached the eyeball in front of the door.

Judging from the performance of the hardback book, the content just now should not be a death notice, but this is just Thor’s own guess, and he cannot relax his vigilance.

Until Thor walked to the eyeball and slowly squatted down, took out a box, and pushed the eyeball in with the back of the knife, the hardback book did not issue a warning again.

Thor stood up, closed the box and sealed it, and was very excited.

Although he had avoided the death warning many times, each time the harvest was only to temporarily save his life. I didn’t expect that there would be an extra drop today.

It’s a pity that before Thor noticed the abnormality of the eyeball, the hardback book didn’t give him any prompts.

I wonder if it can be upgraded again in the future and become a radar that can actively explore?

Putting away the phantom sound pupil and the fantasy of the hardback book, Thor moved the muscles on his face to make himself look more gloomy.

Then, he held the bone-chopping knife and pushed open the door of the corpse room.

Since coming to the second floor of the East Tower, he has never explored deep into the corridor.

He walked along the corridor, which was still curved, but the angle was wider than the tenth floor.

The lights on the second floor seemed to be dimmer than other places, and the further in, the dimmer it got.

At the end of the corridor, it was pitch black, and Thor couldn’t see what was hidden behind the shadows.

After walking a dozen steps, the second scarlet door appeared.

This should be the morgue where the senior in charge of the second process is located.

Thor stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a long while, there was a sound from inside the door.

The door was opened a little.

Hayden’s face appeared behind the crack in the door, and his body blocked the light in the room tightly.

“Senior, excuse me. My name is Thor, and I’m an apprentice who just started school a month ago. I’m so rude for not knowing your name.”

“I’m Hayden.” Hayden’s hand pressed tightly against the door, as if ready to close it at any time. “I became a first-level apprentice much earlier than you. What are you doing here?”

“I want to ask Senior Hayden, did you feel anything was wrong when you were handling the body just now?”

Hayden moved his feet uncomfortably. “Ah, that, I felt it was a little strange. But I didn’t see what was wrong, and I didn’t see where it was valuable, so I threw it to you. Ha, I think you handled it well.”

Thor stared at Hayden until the other party avoided his sight and muttered in a low voice: “Well, I might have seen it wrong.”

Thor grinned stiffly, “Then I will have to trouble you more in the future.”

After saying goodbye to Hayden, he turned around and continued to walk towards the first corpse room.

Seeing Thor walking away, Hayden quickly closed the door.

As soon as the door closed, his expression changed, and he said in a low and ferocious voice: “Why are you so scared of a new apprentice?”

Hayden’s expression changed again, and he rubbed his hands nervously, “Well, no, there is no need to conflict. We will have time to get along in the future.”

On the other side, Thor put the bone chopping knife in the shadow of the corridor.

He took the knife to deal with Hayden, but he couldn’t do that to senior Byron.

He rubbed his face, and his gloomy face became polite again.

“Knock, knock, knock.”

The same scarlet door slowly opened, and the light in the house poured out. A woman who was only half a head taller than Thor stood at the door.

Thor was startled.

“I’m here to see senior Byron. May I ask who you are?”

The woman half-closed her eyes and said in a flat voice, “Byron has reached the age to leave the tower, and went back to pack his things.”

“Leave the tower?” Thor suddenly forgot his original purpose and asked in astonishment, “Do we have to leave the tower when we reach a certain age?”
