Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 98

Chapter 98: Nightmare Butterfly Cocoon

Ada let go of the old madman and rushed over.

The man named Jayce turned around and said nonchalantly, “Why are you in such a hurry? I’m just helping you check on Penny.”

“Don’t worry about Penny!”

Ada rushed over, grabbed the other man’s collar and pulled him over, with his other fist hanging in the air, as if he was going to hit him in the next second.

Jayce didn’t hide or get angry, he just smiled and said, “You go out every day and lock Penny at home every day. I just want to make Penny happy so that she won’t be too bored alone.”

Ada really wanted to swing his fist this time.

But he couldn’t beat Jayce.

Thor was holding the old madman and saw it clearly from the side.

Jayce was sloppy, his hair and beard were tangled together, but his exposed arms were quite muscular.

And they were covered with scars, and it was obvious that he had lived on the edge of a knife.

Although Ada was still strong, he immediately became much shorter and thinner when standing in front of Jayce.

This was probably the reason why Ada was so powerful but didn’t dare to really swing his fist.

Fortunately, Jayce saw that Ada’s eyes were red, and smiled and slapped Ada’s hand away, “Okay, I’ll go, isn’t it okay for me to go?”

He left the angry Ada where he was, and casually pulled his collar while passing by Sol and the old madman.

He glanced at the shabby Sol and rolled his eyes.

“The kind man has taken someone home again.”

Sol’s eyes followed Jayce out of the yard and then turned back.

Ada was leaning against the window in the same way as Jayce just now, talking to the people inside.

After a while, he turned around a little depressed and saw Sol still dragging the old madman to the gate of the yard.

Ada directed Sol to drag the old madman into the room closest to the gate, and he went back to unlock the door and get back into the house.

Sol dragged the old madman into his room and found it very dark.

There was no furniture in the room where the old madman lived, and all the items were piled together in a mess.

Thor looked around and put the old madman on a mattress with exposed grass stalks.

The old madman had given up struggling and muttered a few words “barbaric”. The “evil spirit” turned over and snored.

Thor stood where he was and did not leave immediately. He asked softly, “Are there barbarians here too?”

The old madman’s only response was a deafening snoring.

Thor was sure that the old madman was not as crazy as he looked, and that Captain Jeff might have noticed it.

If the barbarians mentioned by the old madman had not been mentioned by Senior Nick, Thor probably would not care whether he was pretending to be crazy.

Thor looked back at the gate. There was no one else in the yard at this time. Ada ran to his room to deliver something.

A thin black tentacle stretched out from behind Thor’s neck and gently tapped the old madman’s back.

The tentacle spread upward along the old madman’s spine little by little and gently tapped his neck.

The old madman seemed to have really fallen asleep. The snoring did not change much, and the ups and downs of his body were also very stable.

Xiaozao returned to Thor and gently shook the tip of the tentacle.

This means that no evil spirits or vengeful spirits were found.

Xiaozao is more sensitive to spirits than Thor.

Thor still needs to enter a semi-immersed meditative state to see some obvious spirits, while Xiaozao can find even the smallest soul fragments by relying entirely on his instinct for food.

It seems that there is nothing abnormal with this old madman for the time being.

Thor asked Xiaozao to shrink back and walked out of the old madman’s house.

He walked into the yard and looked up to see a window in the house that Ada had just entered, which was sealed with wooden boards.

In the gap of the window, there seemed to be a pair of silver eyes, staring at him without blinking.

Thor looked into the eyes for a moment and felt that the eyes were so cold, like a clear spring in the forest.

But if you really reach in, you will find that it is bottomless.

“Thor, come in quickly. If you stand there for a long time, you will be considered to be trying to take other people’s things.”

At this time, Ada came out, took off his sweaty shirt, and called Thor over.

“Okay,” Thor responded, and when he looked at the window again, he could no longer see the eyes.

He walked slowly towards the house where Ada was, with a hint of expectation in his heart.

The house was very simple, and like Thor’s dormitory, there was no partition wall. There was a large wooden bed in the room, close to the wall. Both ends were tightly blocked.

There was also a cabinet against the wall above the bed, and several thumb-sized holes were drilled in the cabinet door and the side wall of the cabinet.

It seemed like a gap left intentionally.

When Thor looked over, a silver eye suddenly appeared behind one of the holes.

The eye shook and turned into a cracked lip.

Ada spread some weeds on the only wooden low table in the room, then shook out a torn piece of clothing and covered the weeds.

“It’s getting dark, you can sleep here tonight. Don’t walk around after dark.”

“By the way,” Ada turned around and called out to the cabinet behind him, “Penny, come out. Meet a big brother. He used to be our neighbor.”

“Squeak–“

A shrill sound rang out, and a little girl came out of the big cabinet on the bed like a kitten.

She crawled to the edge of the wooden bed, raised her head in Ada’s direction, and revealed a pair of silver, nebula-like eyes.

“This is Penny. The last time you saw her, she was only three years old. Isn’t she getting prettier now?”

Penny’s appearance was actually not pretty.

Her skin was yellow, her face was sunken, and her hair was as soft and yellow as weeds.

But her silver eyes were really beautiful, making people want to indulge in them.

When Thor stared at Penny’s eyes, the diary suddenly flew out.

[New Moon Calendar Year 316, April 11, Sunny

Today’s weather is really good,

and your luck is also good.

How did you find the cocoon of a nightmare butterfly?

Do you want to be accompanied by nightmares from now on?

Then I suggest you dig out those eyes~]

Ada smiled foolishly, and suddenly found that Thor was staring at Penny without blinking, and his face became serious.

“Hey! Thor, you are not allowed to hit on her!”

Thor reluctantly moved his eyes away and met Ada’s eyes as if his tail was stepped on, “What nonsense are you talking about, Penny is only… 7 years old? I’m just curious about what happened to her eyes.”

“She can’t see. After running out of the village, I always carried Penny on my back and didn’t notice when she was injured. When I found out, it was too late. After the wound healed, it became like this, but it’s pretty good.”

Ada seemed to be used to being asked, and said it calmly. He walked over and stuffed some food for Penny.

Penny didn’t want it, pushed her brother’s hand away, and stared at Thor.

‘She… really can’t see at all? “Thor also walked over and waved his hand in front of Penny.

Penny just stared at Thor’s face, without dodging or blinking.

“Brother Thor! “The little girl suddenly called out crisply.

“Hello, Penny.” Thor bent down, looked down at Penny, and greeted her with a smile.

“Brother Thor!” Penny called out again.

Ada then pulled Thor away and said exaggeratedly, “No way, Penny, you still remember him?”

Penny smiled embarrassedly and retreated back to the big cabinet.

Ada completely ignored the strange feeling between Penny’s actions and complained indignantly, “She only calls me Ada, not brother. Why does she call me so nice when she sees you?”

Seeing Thor shrugged innocently, Ada repeated it again.

“Don’t think about my sister!”
