Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 102 Can I Have Your Eyes?

Let him run away, Thor doesn't care about an old madman.

He just felt that the old madman had some secrets, and wondered if they were related to the Grinding Fruit.

He walked back to Ada's house.

Every time Ada left, he would lock Penny in the house for a whole day.

It contains everything for eating, drinking, and relieving oneself.

Thor walked to the door, and the lock clicked open automatically, the padlock falling right into Thor's palm.

As if hearing the sound, the cabinet door on the wooden bed was pushed open from the inside.

Thor went into the house and saw Penny crawling out.

"Brother Thor!" Penny climbed out, sat on the edge of the bed with her legs spread apart, and gave a big smile.

Saul dropped his usual carefree grin and sat down next to Penny with a blank expression.

"How did you know it was me? Are you really blind?"

A kettle and several steamed buns were placed on the wooden bed.

None of the food was touched.

The little girl's lips were pale and cracked, but she endured it by not eating or drinking.

She no longer wanted to relieve her physical needs in the room.

"I really can't see it anymore. I recognized Thor's footsteps."

"You seem to know me quite well." Thor turned to look at her. "You were only three years old when we parted ways, weren't you?"

Penny unconsciously tugged at the hem of her clothes, which was covered in loose threads.

"Yes. But Ada keeps dreaming about Brother Thor."

A dream? A nightmare butterfly?

Thor's expression changed, and his silver eyes, fixed on Penny, became serious.

Those eyes were beautiful from any angle.

But for ordinary people, while they might find it beautiful, they might also find it somewhat terrifying.

"Can you see your brother's dreams? Have you always been able to?"

This time it was Penny's turn to be surprised. She turned her head, looked at Thor's face, and stared blankly for a moment before chuckling, "Even Ada doesn't believe Penny, Thor, you're so kind."

"Ada often dreams of the day he escaped from the village. He carries me on his back, and occasionally he looks back at you trapped in the flames. All he can hear is your cries for help."

"He always dreams about it."

"I asked for help?" Thor blinked slowly, suddenly realizing why Ada had taken him in.

"It's Thor's voice. I recognized it the day you came." Penny smiled, quite pleased with herself.

Sol is fourteen years old this year, and his voice hasn't changed yet, probably because of malnutrition in the past.

Thor had never heard of the Nightmare Butterfly before, but when Penny said it could see other people's dreams, he immediately became interested, even forgetting about the Sound-Grinding Fruit.

"Can you see it in your dreams?"

"Yes, I can see it. In my dream, I am Ada."

So that's how it is. No wonder Penny doesn't call Ada "brother." At the age when she starts dreaming, she probably can't even tell if she's Penny or Ada anymore.

Ada said that Penny went blind when she fled the village at the age of three, so Penny may have been sharing dreams with Ada since she was three years old.

This could easily cause Penny to become confused.

But there's something even more terrifying...

Saul asked, "Penny, besides Ada's dreams, have you ever entered other people's dreams? Did you know those experiences were dreams?"

Penny tilted her head. "At first, I only saw Ada's dreams, but later I could enter the dreams of people nearby. Like the old madman's dreams, he always saw the village being destroyed by savages. And Uncle Jayce's dreams, he always dreamed that his daughter died and was cut into several pieces. And Aunt Joan's dreams, she always dreamed that she killed her husband, first beheading him, then dismembering his body, and then slowly hiding it in a vegetable basket and throwing it out."

As for the second question, Penny did not answer, seemingly having forgotten about it.

"Do you know that was a dream?" Thor asked again.

Penny then remembered, "At first I didn't know, but then I kept dreaming about it, and I kept dreaming about it, and then I knew it was a dream."

Are you scared?

Penny grinned, "I'm not scared. Ada said there's nothing to be afraid of in dreams, they'll be fine when you wake up."

Thor stared at the little girl, speechless for a moment.

Although Penny could converse with him smoothly and still retained the innocence of a little girl, it was clear that her understanding of the world was somewhat confused by the intertwining of dreams and reality.

She spoke of those painful memories and dreams without any emotional fluctuation.

There's a kind of calmness that comes from having seen life and death so many times.

She had truly become accustomed to life and death.

"Penny," Saul finally spoke, "you can see other people's nightmares mostly because of your eyes. If you had the chance to remove your eyes... would you?"

The room was quiet for a while.

After a while, Penny covered her eyes with her two thin hands.

"don't want!"

Saul stood up, and Penny, hearing his movement, covered her eyes and looked up.

"No!" Penny repeated, her attitude resolute.

Thor placed his hand on Penny's hand, and black tentacles emerged from behind his neck, slowly wrapping around the little girl's arm. At Thor's command, they would pull the girl's arm away, allowing Thor to do as he pleased.

"You'll turn into a dog if you steal from a child," Penny threatened Thor.

Thor slowly withdrew his hand, and Xiaozhao followed suit with some regret.

"This is dangerous for your eyes. I hope you can change your mind soon."

Penny heard Saul's footsteps moving towards the door, followed by the sound of him stepping over the threshold.

She seemed to have forgotten that Thor had just tried to take her things. She quickly lowered her hand, leaned on the wooden bed, and asked anxiously, "Brother Thor, where are you going?"

"Go out and find work."

Then came the sound of the door closing and locking.

Penny sat there, wondering if her brother Saul was angry. The emotion in his voice was harder to discern than Ada's.

Penny touched her eyes.

She just felt that if there were only two holes left, she wouldn't look good.

Before long, Penny started to feel bored again.

If Brother Thor can spend more time playing with her in the future, then let her eyes remain black holes.

Her hand touched the water bottle next to her. She was clearly thirsty, but she didn't want to drink. She just pouted and pushed the water bottle away a little.

After some time, someone knocked on the window frame from the outside.

"Little Penny~" Uncle Jayce's voice rang out.

Penny skillfully climbed back into the closet, her face pressed against the window. "Ada won't let me talk to you."

Don't listen to your stupid brother.

"Yeah, Penny also thinks Ada is an idiot."

……

Thor wandered around the town of Mosail again and basically figured out the relationship between the "Sacred Fruit" and the "Foster Mother".

This Grinding Fruit is probably similar to the companion flower of the Wizard's Tower, both of which like to absorb the aura of the dead, except that the Grinding Fruit probably prefers the scent of fresh young girls.

He couldn't help but recall a senior student named Peggy who, in order to lure the evil spirit into his body, had temporarily created a mask from a piece of fresh, tender thigh skin to confuse the evil spirit's senses.

Does the Grinding Fruit have the same taste as evil spirits?

While wandering around, Thor sneaked into the area near the clearing where the Grinding Fruit was planted. The town's strongest guards were still gathered there, but he did not see any trace of the girl who had been kidnapped that morning.

Doesn't the process of nourishing the 'Grind Fruit' need to be carried out in the 'Grind Fruit' field?

But he soon noticed that the door to the three-story tower, which had been tightly sealed off the night before, was slightly ajar.

The small tower was a wood and stone structure that looked ancient and dilapidated, but in the next second it seemed indestructible and would stand there forever.

There were no guards around the tower.

The half-open door looked as if it was inviting someone inside.

Saul glanced at the diary.

The diary ignored him.

Little Zao ran out and touched his face.

Are there spirits there?

The little algae swayed its tentacles back and forth.

Thor touched the tip of the algae's tentacle and sent it back.

Xiaozao is always more obedient than the diary, and she disappeared in an instant.

Thor waited until it was almost dark before returning to Ada's courtyard.

But as soon as he got close, he heard a deafening noise coming from the courtyard, along with Ada's furious shouts.

"I told you to stay away from her!!!"

Thor walked through the gate and saw that the yard was in a mess.

Several ropes hanging in the yard fell down, scattering clothes and shoes all over the ground.

Many of the miscellaneous items that were originally placed in the yard were also knocked over.

A woman was peeping from behind a window. Noticing Thor's gaze, she immediately disappeared.

In the center of the messy courtyard stood Ada, her face flushed and panting heavily, and Jayce, lying on the ground, still grinning.

The door to Ada's house was open, and the lock hanging on the door was bent and broken, half on the ground and half hanging loosely on the door.
