Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 966

Chapter 952 Red Worm

After Thor left the tower where Corey was, he immediately said to Xiaozao, “Did you notice…”

Thor wanted to ask Xiaozao if he had noticed, but before he could ask, he saw Wizard Ole coming out of the main building in the middle of the castle.

The other party recognized Thor, but did not come over to say hello, and turned his head and walked into the tower on the other side.

Thor stared at Ole’s back and said to Xiaozao, “Xiaozao, did you see it?”

Xiaozao nodded, also with a serious face.

“I remember Wizard Ole had no head, and there was a plant on his neck, right?”

Xiaozao continued to nod seriously.

“I remember that he didn’t have a red worm head on his head, right?”

Xiaozao shook his head seriously.

“Let’s go, let’s go find Corey and talk again.” Thor turned around and went back to the tower he had just come out of.

Wizard Ole’s head turned into a huge red worm, the diameter of the worm was thicker than his neck, and after squeezing out from the end of his neck, it swelled up and looked more like a human head.

Thor quickly climbed the tower and knocked on Corey’s door.

But this time, after a few seconds, no one answered, and no one opened the door.

Thor pressed one hand on the doorknob, used magic to roughly open the door, and rushed in.

“Corey, I think we still need to talk–“

His voice stopped abruptly, because there was no sign of Corey in the whole room.

Thor’s mental power swept through the whole room like a storm, then the whole tower, and finally expanded to the whole castle.

He even sensed other people in the castle, as well as the wizard with a bug head, Oler, but still could not find any trace of wizard Corey.

Corey was missing.

“We just went downstairs for only a minute. Where could she go in this minute?”

Thor looked around the room. “Now that I think about it, her behavior was a little abnormal before we left. It seemed that she wanted to say something, but didn’t have time to say it.”

A silver butterfly flew out from Thor’s forehead and quickly circled the room.

“There is no dream of Corey. She disappeared very cleanly.”

“I didn’t feel anything unusual. How could a second-level wizard suddenly disappear? Is it because of me?”

Beth: [Thor, there are only two possibilities for Corey to disappear without alerting you. One is that she volunteered. The other is…]

“The other is that the person who made Corey disappear is stronger than me in terms of mental power.” Thor already knew what Beth was going to say, “It’s not that I’m arrogant. There are only two or three people in the wizarding world who are stronger than me in mental power.”

[Hehe, you are right.]

After returning from the Wall of Sighs, Thor’s mental power surged again.

Beth couldn’t figure it out. Was Thor’s method of advancing to the fourth level too powerful?

Every time Thor established a connection with a target, his mental power would be improved. After completing four targets, the improvement was simply exaggerated.

Beth even wondered if Thor had any other means to improve his mental power.

Since he couldn’t find Corey for the time being, Thor began to check the entire room to see if he could find any clues left by Corey.

After a round, Thor found nothing except the usual supplies and some documents about the city and border defense. Then he began to look for mechanisms in the house.

Sometimes, purely physical mechanisms without magic involved may have blind spots in vision and deceive the wizard’s eyes.

This time, Thor finally made other discoveries.

He didn’t find a secret passage, but some ashes in the fireplace. These ashes all had white edges. Thor dug his hands and confirmed that these were the same kind of paper on Corey’s desk.

The tower’s fireplace had a large volume, but as a tool used by wizards, it didn’t burn wood or coal for heating. There was just a flame array at the bottom. Therefore, there were only paper ashes in the entire fireplace.

A thick layer, I don’t know how many pieces of paper Corey burned here.

“Penny, can you try to see the past of these papers?”

“I can! Brother Thor, as long as no one deliberately erases them or covers them with mental power…” Penny’s voice became smaller and smaller.

Compared with those nightmare butterflies that have been around for decades or hundreds of years, she is really just a child.

Thor smiled indifferently, “It doesn’t matter, you try your best.”

Penny flapped her wings and landed on the top of the hill on the top of the ashes, then shook her silver hollow wings violently, and the edge of the pile of ashes flew into the air.

When they fell again, the gray debris turned into white pieces.

These white scraps of paper fell and pieced together into a complete piece of paper.

There were several lines of text on the paper, which twisted like little bugs, split and overlapped. Finally, it slowly stabilized.

Thor looked down, and a solemn expression gradually appeared on his face.

“Corey discovered that there was something wrong with the wizard Oler a few years ago, but her notification letter was never sent out. Did they all get burned in the end? Who did it?”

The wizard Oler did not major in light or dark attributes, and was not good at mental control of people. What’s more, the person to be controlled was Corey, a second-level wizard.

After Penny restored the letter paper, she did not stop casting the spell. The letter paper slowly flew out of the flames and floated in the air.

It was as if someone was standing there holding the letter paper.

Two white fingers slowly appeared on the edge of the paper, and then evolved into a complete palm, and finally expanded until the whole person appeared out of thin air.

It was…Corey!

“So, the person who wrote the letter was Corey, and the person who burned the letter was also Corey?”

“It’s not over yet, Brother Thor, I can feel that there is something very important…”

Penny’s voice was full of strength. Following Thor, she hadn’t used her full strength for a long time while lying flat in the diary!

Thor continued to stare at Corey and found that there was suddenly a touch of red on her head.

This touch of red was like Corey’s finger that had just appeared, slowly turning from a small dot into a complete body.

It was a red worm.

However, unlike the wizard Oler, Corey’s body and head were not replaced by worms. The red worm just lay quietly on Corey’s head, like her pet.

“When I saw Corey just now, there was definitely no red worm on her head. It doesn’t make sense that I can see the monster on Oler but not on Corey. I have been in contact with Corey for a longer time.”

“Brother Thor, this is the most complete past I can see.” Penny whispered.

“Well done.” Thor praised generously.

The scene in front of her gradually disappeared, and only the ashes in the fireplace proved Corey’s struggle.

“It doesn’t matter. Corey is gone, but there are still other people here, right?” Thor temporarily put aside the pursuit of Corey and changed his target. “Wizard Oler is in the tower opposite. Let’s go say hello.”
