Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 156 What are you looking for?

"Mentor, if I choose an exit route, will I be connected with you?"

"Any mentor could be involved. Mentor Tali's research projects are all related to death to some extent," Mentor Katz said meaningfully.

In the past, Thor probably wouldn't have thought too much about it.

But ever since he learned that the tower master wanted to resurrect Lady Yora, he immediately wondered if these research projects were all related to the resurrection of Lady Yora.

If that's really the case, then Lord Gorsata is surprisingly a devoted lover!

I always felt that his appearance and personality didn't quite match.

"Mentor, I want to choose an export job." Thor didn't keep Kaz waiting long before making his choice.

"You're as bold as ever." A strange smile appeared on Kaz's sinister expression, it was unclear whether he was satisfied with Thor's choice.

He turned to face the right-hand corridor and raised his voice, "Kujin!"

After about ten seconds, the door to the right corridor slowly opened, and a tall man walked out.

He looked nearly two meters tall, making Saul look tiny next to him. The name tag on his chest clearly indicated that he was a third-level apprentice.

"When will I grow taller?" As Kujin approached, Thor's neck slowly lifted until it reached a very awkward angle.

Kugin tried to calm himself down in front of Katz, but his downturned lips betrayed his reluctance.

"Mentor Kaz."

"Get ready to hand over your duties to Thor." Katz didn't explain, didn't introduce, and didn't give Kugin a chance to argue; he directly announced the final result.

Kugin looked at Saul, noticed the brand-new name tag on his chest, and his cheeks puffed up and then shrank back, puffed up and then shrank back again.

He couldn't help but say, "Mentor Katz, letting such a newcomer handle the work... what if they mess it up..."

"That's his problem," Katz waved his hand, always impatient with such matters.

Kujin had no choice but to swallow his grievances.

If Kujin, who was standing here, were only a second-level apprentice, he certainly wouldn't dare to utter a single unnecessary word.

"Yes." Kukin lowered his head, then turned to Saul. "Come here."

Thor caught up with Kugin, took a couple of steps, but then realized that his mentor, Kaz, hadn't followed.

He glanced back at his mentor, Kaz, only to find the other looking at him with a complicated expression.

Seeing Thor turn around, Kaz's emotions were hidden beneath his wrinkles. "Go on, do you still want me to take you?"

Thor stopped and bowed to Kaz. "Take care, mentor."

Kaz snorted and quickly left with his hands behind his back.

When Thor turned around, he saw that Kukin was almost at the door, so he quickly ran a few steps to catch up.

"There are hundreds of kinds of materials here, but this is the most common one," Kukin said, pushing open the heavy door.

Behind the door was an extremely bright world.

There were so many candlesticks here that it was frightening; Thor was momentarily blinded when he looked over.

Once his eyes adjusted to the brightness inside, he saw that there were many people standing inside the door.

His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately held his breath, following Kujin slowly inside.

Behind this third door stood hundreds of people in neat rows.

People are arranged neatly, each person one meter apart. Legs are together, and arms hang naturally at their sides.

It's like standing at attention in the military.

But they all had their eyes closed, and their skin was as white as paper.

Upon closer inspection, not a single person's chest was still heaving.

These are all dead people!

"Were you scared?" Kukin stared intently at Thor's reaction, seemingly wanting to see him make a fool of himself.

But apart from his expression becoming a little more serious, Thor did not lose his composure.

"Fortunately, I used to work in the morgue on the second floor, and I've seen quite a few strange-looking corpses."

"Ha," Kujin sneered, "What you've seen can only be called corpses. The people in front of you now were at least second-level apprentices in life."

"At least a level two apprentice?" Thor was somewhat surprised. "Are there many level three apprentices here?"

"The most powerful people here are the formal wizards," Kujin said, then took a good look at Thor's wide eyes and slightly open mouth.

But Thor quickly composed himself and immediately asked, "Managing these corpses must involve many requirements and taboos, right?"

There are only two taboos here.

"First, keep at least 81 candlesticks lit in the room."

Second, materials marked with serial numbers must not be touched or moved.

The fewer taboos there are, the less likely they are to be violated.

"There are a lot of rules, they're all written in the manual over there, you can take your time to look at them later."

Thor memorized the two taboos, but still harbored a lingering doubt. "Senior Kujin, are the two taboos also written in the book?"

"...Yes, it's on the first page. You don't need to worry that I'd lie to you." Kukin stepped forward. "If I break the taboo, only you will die, but if I deliberately neglect my duties during the handover, I won't escape either."

As Kujin, being tall, passed by a corpse, his arm brushed against it, causing the corpse to tilt slightly.

He stopped immediately and righted the body.

Saul silently noted this down, thinking he would look for it in the manual later.

Passing through this group of dead bodies, you reach the tall cabinets typical of warehouses. These cabinets display a variety of storage equipment.

Bottles and jars, boxes and bags, as well as metal supports, flowing water and soil, etc.

Saul followed Kugin through the passageway in the middle of the cabinet.

At the far end of the cabinet, there was a spacious area between it and the wall, which was probably where Kukin usually studied and researched.

Saul immediately noticed a five-meter-long table, as well as cabinets nailed to the walls and floor.

The long table was spotless, clearly having been deliberately tidied. I don't know if it was due to Kukin's personality or if it was tidied up hastily.

If it's the latter, then it means that Kugin already knew before Saul arrived that his job might be replaced by a new person.

Thor thought to himself, "Perhaps this job was actually assigned to me by the Tower Master?"

After all, Gorsa was the first person in the Wizarding Tower to know that Thor had advanced and was about to return to the tower.

Moreover, Saul has suspected for the past two years that his opportunity to work in the morgue was also arranged behind the scenes by the Tower Master.

Hopefully, the Tower Master only values ​​his soul talent.

Kugin took out the rulebook and handed Saul three quills.

The quill pen was ridiculously large, its overall length even exceeding that of Thor's arm.

"This is a communication pen. If your advisor needs it, this pen will write the request down on paper. Although advisors usually issue requests after 3 PM, if it's urgent, they might ask you to get up in the middle of the night to prepare something. You can keep one in your dorm room as a backup, or you can choose to stay here."

"Stay here?" Thor asked, taken aback. "Aren't we required to leave the East Tower by 8 PM?"

Kujin moved his things to the trailer next to the table. "This is one of the most dangerous places in the East Tower, but it's also the safest."

Because everything was already packed up, Kujin quickly moved all his belongings.

He pushed the cart, glancing sideways at Saul, looking down at him, "As long as you don't break any taboos."

After saying that, he pushed the cart away.

The hourglass was behind Thor, and when he looked back, he realized it was only a little past nine in the morning.

Saul picked up the manual and flipped through it a couple of times. "Second warehouse rules?"

There are more than a dozen pages filled with writing, but there are also more than a dozen blank pages, as if waiting for someone to add new rules at any time.

Sure enough, the two taboos mentioned by Kukin were clearly written on the first page of the manual.

Apart from these two taboos, the first page contains no other information.

Thor read through the book from beginning to end and checked the entire book. He found no corrections or alterations, nor any traces of magical energy.

He then put the book back on the table.

"There's still a long time until three in the afternoon." Thor's bony fingers tapped back and forth on the table, making a crisp sound. "Let's check the body and soul again, and get more professionals to find out where that shadowy figure is hiding."

Although Byron and Nick's examination did not reveal any other soul within Thor, last night's experience convinced Thor that a ghost was lurking nearby.

This time, he planned to go to the physician apprentice in the wizard tower who was specifically responsible for checking the physical and mental health of apprentices.

It just takes a lot of credits.

But spending credits is better than having an unknown spirit hiding around you all the time.

Thor had just taken a step when he heard a voice beside him.

"What are you looking for? Me?"

A dark figure suddenly appeared in front of Thor, blocking his way.

Thor looked up and met a pair of mesmerizing red eyes.
