Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 38
Chapter 38 Discovering Blind Spots
With a head full of slime, Thor continued to ascend with the box in his arms.
Perhaps he had broken some illusion, and he found that he had successfully reached the sixth floor of the East Tower. On the left was the rune wall that had once made the newcomers dizzy.
Even with Thor’s current mental strength, he dared not look any further.
For some reason, the blurry world became clear again, and he realized that his forehead was a little painful.
It was probably because he had just bowed to the wall too hard, causing his forehead to be scratched a little.
“Hurt the enemy 100 times, and lose 0.1 of myself, it’s worth it.”
He thought of something serious again, “I have to go back and take a shower quickly, I don’t know if it will be infected.”
However, the things in his hand must be given to Senior Sister Kong Sha first, and Thor didn’t want to sleep with a dead head in his arms.
Go back to the West Tower through the passage and continue to ascend along the ramp.
The sixth to ninth floors are the activity areas for first-level apprentices.
It was just after eight o’clock, and although the East Tower was as quiet as a tomb, the West Tower was still lively.
Some people saw Thor walking slowly up and whispered.
Some people noticed the yellow leather in Thor’s hand and looked at it with curiosity, but they didn’t dare to come forward because of Thor’s reputation.
Thor ignored the eyes around him and walked step by step, very steadily.
Leaving the area for first-level apprentices, the tenth floor where the second-level apprentices were located returned to silence again.
No one was wandering in the corridor, chatting, or sharing their learning experience of the day.
The dormitory doors here seemed to be closed day and night.
Thor tilted his head slightly.
He still remembered the scene he saw when he came to clean the corridor when he was still a servant.
The crying behind the door, the messy garbage, and the pool of blood…
It was really a pool of blood that changed his fate.
However, before Thor could sigh more, a light sound suddenly came from the front.
Thor immediately came back to his senses and looked up at the ramp.
At the corner leading to the twelfth floor, a pair of black leather boots peeked out from the shadows.
I don’t know how long they have been standing there.
Thor did not stop, but just raised his guard and walked forward slowly, his eyes slowly moving from the leather boots to the top.
The man standing at the corner slowly revealed his true face.
It was Sid, who had been away from the tower for more than a month.
He stared at Thor silently, with a dark look between his eyebrows.
But when Thor approached, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised an exaggerated cold arc, “I see you, senior, don’t you know how to say hello?”
“Hello, senior.” Thor greeted honestly, and even bowed slightly.
“…”
Sid didn’t expect Thor to be so obedient, unlike the child who was almost killed by him a month ago.
After Thor greeted, his expression was calm and he continued to go up.
He had a polite smile on his face, but his heart was already highly alert.
The two approached, side by side, and were about to miss each other…
“Do you really think the instructor cares about the life and death of a first-level newcomer? As long as someone more valuable appears, you will be trash that can be discarded at any time.”
Thor tilted his head, he was only up to Sid’s chest, and he needed to raise his chin high to look at the other person from this angle.
Thor smiled obediently. Although he didn’t know what strange picture this smile would turn into under the blessing of the slime on his head, he still maintained a respectful tone.
“Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will work hard to continuously improve my value.”
Sid sneered and disdained Thor’s ignorant speech.
“If talent can be compensated by hard work, there won’t be so many desperate bones under our feet.”
Thor did not refute, he just stared at Sid quietly.
“Will he attack me directly? Although it’s not too late now, there is no one in front and behind, it’s a good opportunity.”
But the hardcover book did not come out.
“Sid dare not do it.” Thor became calmer.
The other party ignored Thor, put his hands in his jacket pockets, and walked downstairs with a shaky step. He
seemed to be in a good mood.
Thor waited until Sid’s figure disappeared before turning around and continuing to walk.
“He dared not, or could not, do anything to me.” Thor thought as he walked, “I should have thought of it earlier. He failed to kill me in the library, and then sent Brown to kill me. Sid always wanted me dead!”
“But he never killed me directly.” Thor’s eyes became brighter and brighter, “It can’t be because of the mentor. When I was still a servant, he almost didn’t have to pay any price to kill me, but he still didn’t do it!”
“Is Sid incapable of killing people?”
This idea was immediately rejected by Thor.
Sid killed the fat boy who relied on bribery in front of all the newcomers.
“Is it because he…can’t kill me?” The
more Thor thought about it, the more possible it seemed.
He glanced at the hardcover book, “Sid is looking for a diary, and that diary is the same as the hardcover book on my shoulder. He may not want to kill me to silence me. He may want to kill me to find this hardcover book!”
Although this guess is incredible, fanciful, and unfounded, it can explain Sid’s strange behavior.
He wants Thor to die, but he is unwilling to do it himself.
Thor stopped and stared at the small package in his hand, his consciousness had already flown away.
Tonight is actually a great opportunity for Sid.
Thor held a strange head in his hand that was forbidden to be taken out, and there was an unknown mucus hanging on the head.
If Sid killed him, he could completely blame Thor’s death on the strange incident he encountered.
But Sid did not make a move, and only mocked him a few times.
“If you kill the owner of the hardcover book, you can’t get the hardcover book!”
This sentence suddenly appeared in Thor’s mind.
“If I’m not mistaken, Sid knows a lot about this hardcover book. But that’s not right… If that’s the case, why would he throw the hardcover book on my head?” Thor was a little worried. The hardcover book was too mysterious, but it didn’t introduce itself. Thor had to rely on himself to figure out many things.
“No matter whether Sid knows about the hardcover book’s ability to predict death or not, he and I are already fighting to the death. At present, I am not strong enough, so I can only counter his moves and ask for the protection of my big brother.”
Thor stepped up again.
“Sid will definitely make another move.” After walking two steps, Thor suddenly stopped again, “Something is wrong, Sid’s attitude today is not right.”
Sid was very gloomy when he saw Thor today, but then he became cheerful.
He has already taken new actions.
Thor recalled what Sid had just said.
“Do you really think that the instructor cares about the life and death of a first-level rookie? As long as someone more valuable appears, you will be trash that can be discarded at any time.”
Instructor, rookie, more valuable person…
Thor narrowed his eyes, “Sid went out this time to find a newcomer… He found a newcomer who can replace my work in the morgue?”
If it weren’t for Instructor Kaz’s protection of Thor, Thor would not have had a month of respite.
But the premise of Thor’s protection is probably because he is working for Instructor Kaz.
Instructor Kaz doesn’t want his newly recruited worker to die so soon.
But what if someone who is more suitable for the morgue than Thor appears?
Instructor Kaz may not insist on leaving this job to Thor.
Thor doesn’t think that Kaz has much teacher-student friendship with him.
Especially when he became more and more proficient in handling corpses, this instructor didn’t even come to the morgue to guide him in his homework.
It’s not realistic to expect the instructor to protect him again because of the old relationship.
Thor looked down at the package in his hand and decided to speed up his pace to find the backer he had just asked for.
I’ve done all the work for you, I can’t just stand by and watch him die, right?
Do you still need a brain?
…
Kong Sha was not very satisfied with Sol knocking on her door.
She dragged Sol in and watched the boy stumble to the ground. His eyeballs in the glass cover were tightly attached to the edge, red and bloodshot, and seemed to be about to explode at any time.
“Why did you come up directly?”
