Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 253, Second Golden Page

(The chapter order has been adjusted) However, Thor's smug smile did not last long.

As he gently turned the title page, his brow furrowed slightly upon seeing the first golden page, as expected.

"This golden page is still not responding. Am I not able to control it yet?"

Thor tried several methods, but the golden pages gave no response whatsoever.

"Never mind, let's check the next few pages first to see if there are any other changes in the consciousness space."

Saul prepared to look at the white pages.

When the diary first appeared before him, he flipped directly to the middle section where the text began to appear.

Thor hasn't seen the previous parts yet.

He was curious: if the white pages at the beginning of the diary also contained content, would they record the experiences of its previous owner?

But as he gently turned the first page, his eyes, filled with curiosity and awe, suddenly froze.

"What? There's another golden page?" Thor stared blankly at the second page that had appeared.

He was quite certain that after seeing the golden page for the first time, because he couldn't immediately determine its purpose, he turned the page in his diary to look at the newly acquired half of the black page.

During that page-turning process, the next page after the gold page was clearly an ordinary white page.

Where did this golden page come from? And when did it appear in the diary?

"Not only do we still not understand the purpose of the golden pages, but we've also inexplicably gained an extra page... When did this page appear?"

He closed his eyes and recalled his recent use of the diary.

"I hadn't been paying attention to the pages of the diary before, so the second page might have appeared quite early without me noticing. But these golden pages are so mysterious, it's impossible for one to just appear out of nowhere."

Thor recalled the scene when the golden pages first appeared.

A soul storm, a deep sea that appeared after the coma, a gigantic sun overhead that one could pass through...

Despite the many strange phenomena, the root cause is still that neurotic man—Victor.

No, it's shredded chicken...

"I was almost forgetting his name," Thor said, rubbing his forehead. "Oh, it's Kismet."

"Oh, right," Thor suddenly remembered something, something he hadn't paid much attention to, something even the Tower Master had overlooked!

"That guy once sent me a letter."

The cryptic letter disappeared completely after Saul read it.

"The appearance of the first golden page was definitely related to Kismet, and this second one is probably no exception."

Saul believes there is a high probability that the second golden page was also created by Kismet.

"After I got the first golden page, that guy's attitude... seemed to have changed a bit." With this guess in mind, Thor immediately began to recall the details related to Kismet.

"So, the letter he wrote to me later wasn't just a simple provocation? If he really was trying to send me the second page, then he probably knew about the diary."

"I still know too little about him, so it's not advisable to get in touch with him for now."

Although the second page may have been sent by Kismet, Saul still cannot be sure of the other party's purpose.

However, considering the other party's habit of using others to cause death, Saul still felt he had to be cautious.

Who knows if there's a bigger secret behind this gift?

Putting Kismet's purpose aside for the moment, Saul continued to study the two pages.

He gently tugged at the golden pages; the feel was exactly the same as when they last touched the surface of the sea—soft and delicate like a baby's skin. But no matter how hard Thor tried, he couldn't leave a single mark on the paper.

Moreover, the connection between the pages is flawless, as if these two pages were originally part of the diary.

"Ha, I have absolutely no clue. But then again, although it's called a diary, the writing just appears on the pages; it's not actually written by me. If only I could leave my own words on it someday. Wouldn't that give me control over other people's lives and deaths?"

Thor started daydreaming to ease his current somewhat depressed mood.

"The Death Wizard's Diary—is it because I haven't become a death wizard yet? Or is it because I lack a pen to leave my mark on it?"

Thor shook his head, finally giving up. He turned the page again, and the next page was white.

While a gold page should be more valuable than a white page, a gold page also signifies unpredictability and more surprises.

Sure enough, text appeared on the next white page.

Moreover, Saul never saw these words when he flipped through the diary.

I don't know if the diary was intentionally blocked.

However, Sol didn't recognize a single one of these characters.

Just looking at the format, it's the same as the diary format I've seen before.

Saul quickly flipped through the pages, but he didn't recognize most of the text.

Not only that, some of the characters have strange shapes, and some of them make you feel like someone is walking around you when you look at them.

But when he stopped observing and looked up in all directions, the people walking around disappeared again.

Thor lowered his head again, this time not examining the text on the white pages himself, but quickly flipping through the pages.

The font on the diary changes roughly every few pages.

If each character corresponds to a diary owner, then this diary has indeed passed through quite a few hands.

Moreover, Saul discovered that the last page of each handwriting style typically contained a very short sentence.

For some reason, when Thor saw these words, he subconsciously guessed what they meant.

"You are dead."

"It seems that none of the previous owners of the Death Wizard's Diary had a good ending."

Finally, he turned to his own first page.

This Death Wizard's Diary pushed Thor onto a new path, but also plunged him into deeper entanglements.

Keep flipping through...

I searched for a long time...

"Well, there's something to be proud of. The number of pages used by the people currently ranked ahead of me combined doesn't even equal my usage. Don't they do experiments? Or are they actually not wizards?"

Turning to the last page, one finds the diary's reminder about the seeds of evil.

However, when Thor turned the page again, he found that the thick white pages had all been flipped over, and black pages appeared in front of him.

It seems the diary doesn't want Saul to know how many blank pages it has left.

Or perhaps the blank pages simply have no end.

"Each black page represents a person's consciousness. This is my consciousness space, but the black pages did not take on real human forms like the souls absorbed by Morton. It must be the diaries that changed their form."

"However, since the diary can absorb the consciousness of others to form black pages, the consumed soul energy cannot be replenished... Is it possible to reverse this process?"

As Thor pondered this, he picked up a page from the book.

He thought he could try using Hermann pages.

He first silently prayed in his mind, "Make Herman return to a normal consciousness," but the diary did not respond.

Thor attempted to use his mental powers to control the black pages and transmit his commands.

But it still failed.

He frowned. "In the world of consciousness, there's no response when I try to control it with my consciousness. If my existence is consciousness itself, then..."

With a slight exertion of his fingers, he managed to tear the black page off completely.

Then, the black pages began to heat up slightly, and the mental fluctuations transmitted back to Thor's brain also began to become unstable.

Like a balloon about to burst.

Saul threw the pages of the book away.

The pages fell onto the stone platform and instantly expanded, growing larger and longer, even their surfaces taking on vibrant colors.

In just a few breaths, the black pages transformed into Hermann's likeness!
