Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 265 I set that fire.

Thor backed away little by little, but he didn't actually intend to leave.

His current rule of conduct is: as long as the diary doesn't say no, then no one's saying no is valid!

Penny watched Thor back away, but made no other move.

But as Thor retreated to the doorway, he suddenly flung his hand at Penny.

Two slightly different black tentacles shot out.

One shot aimed at Penny's head, and another at her shoulder.

However, when the black tentacles touched Penny's body, she suddenly disappeared.

As Penny disappeared, the increasingly loud surging sound outside also vanished instantly.

Thor wasn't worried that he was attacking Penny herself, because he didn't detect any signs of life on her.

However, he still held back during the attack, letting the little algae with its own consciousness attack Penny's head, while simultaneously using the first-tier sorcery "Frozen Touch" to attack Penny's shoulder.

When Penny's illusion disappeared, Xiaozao slammed on the brakes and came to a stop.

However, the sorcery "Frozen Touch" shattered the small cabinet where the illusion Penny was located.

Because of the freezing attribute attached to "Frozen Touch," the cabinet, although shattered, did not scatter on the ground. Instead, it remained frozen in place, intact.

Why didn't you listen to me and insisted on coming in?

Suddenly, the old madman's voice came from the courtyard.

Thor turned around and saw the disheveled old madman sighing.

This person also lacked the aura of a living person.

"Another illusion?"

Having learned from past mistakes, Thor did not waste his magical attack this time.

"Since the fake Penny could communicate, this fake madman should be able to too."

He simply smiled and slowly approached, asking, "Are all the people who entered this town dead?"

The old madman's eyes showed sorrow. "Yes, they're all dead. No one can escape."

"Who killed him?"

The old madman paused for a moment, his eyes glazed over, as if he were reminiscing.

"Yes, it's a red tide..."

Is it another red tide?

And as these words were spoken, the sound of the waves rose again.

But this time, the sound seemed a little closer than before.

Thor squinted, but still couldn't see any spirit attached to the old madman.

It should have been Mochi Mochi who killed the residents of Mosail Town, but he didn't seem to know anything about the Blood Tide either.

After Mochi Mochi left, someone turned this dead land into a breeding ground for curses.

"Do you know where else in town might you find Grinding Fruit?"

"A sound-grinding fruit?" the old madman repeated. "What's a sound-grinding fruit?"

Thor frowned. "Does this illusion only know what happened before it died?"

The old madman's eyes darted around for a moment, then he suddenly started urging Thor again.

"Hurry up, hurry up, it'll be too late if we don't leave now."

Thor asked several more questions, but the old madman only told Thor to leave.

His patience wore thin, and he said coldly, "Since you say there's no one left alive here... then who are you?"

Upon hearing Thor's question, the old madman suddenly paused, his expression becoming dazed again, but this time he did not recover.

"I told you we couldn't deal with barbarians, we couldn't..." He swayed and staggered as he ran outside, "We couldn't deal with barbarians, the village is ruined, ruined!"

His running posture was somewhat strange; one hand was behind his back, as if supporting something, while the other hand was waving constantly, as if calling for help.

"Where is this guy going?"

Thor was puzzled and took two steps after him.

The old madman seemed to hear his footsteps, turned around and looked at Thor with a conflicted expression.

Suddenly, he tripped over thin air while running on flat ground, staggered a couple of steps, and barely managed to regain his balance.

After that, he didn't look back and quickly ran out of the alley.

"This guy..." Thor's doubts about the old madman deepened.

This old madman was always mysterious, managing to evade Xiaozao's probing, knowing the secrets of Mofan Town, and always disappearing and reappearing from time to time.

Thor thought this guy was strange from the start. He wasn't exactly crazy, but he wasn't exactly lucid either.

Unexpectedly, this guy's hallucinations also perpetuated his own eccentricities.

He couldn't help but run a few steps outside after the old madman. But as soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, he lost track of the old madman.

Of course, it's also possible that the old madman's illusions have disappeared.

The moment the old madman disappeared, the sound of the distant waves ceased once more.

"Since it's an illusion, it's normal for it to disappear anytime, anywhere."

Now that the old madman had disappeared and Penny had not reappeared, Thor decided not to stay any longer.

"Xiao Zao, take me to the roof."

Xiao Zao obediently pulled Saul onto the roof of the courtyard.

The buildings in this courtyard aren't very tall, but you can still see the surrounding streets clearly.

"The houses where wizard apprentices live must be the most luxurious." Thor circled halfway around the rooftop, searching for the best house in town.

But the next second, he stopped in his tracks.

Because in the next block, he saw a third person.

Aunt Jenny, who appears warm-hearted but is actually indifferent.

At that moment, she was embracing a dark shadow, huddled in a corner of the next alley.

Saul could clearly hear her terrified voice.

"Please, please don't do this!" Jenny shook her head desperately.

Is this a scene from before Jenny died?

When Saul squinted, he was surprised to find that Jenny was not an illusion, but a vengeful spirit.

But why didn't he notice any spirits nearby when he came here before?

Could it be a curse in the town that concealed Jenny's whereabouts?

"The curse in this town is so strange. Is it a curse, or an offensive curse?"

Thor looked around warily but did not see any other spirits.

Just as he was about to ignore Aunt Jenny, her wails suddenly grew louder, her shrill screams filled with anger and despair.

"How could you be so cruel? Jasmine is only 12 years old! Please, let me take her place, let me be the sacrifice in her place!"

"Who is Jasmine?" Saul remembered Jenny saying in the crowd that she didn't have a daughter.

"Could it be that after I left, someone tried to take away the girl she was close to?"

Just as Saul was thinking this, he heard Jenny's stern voice again.

"No--"

He simply jumped from the rooftop directly to the alleyway where Aunt Jenny was.

When he reached Aunt Jenny, who looked like she had gone mad, he noticed that she looked much younger than when he last saw her.

She knelt down on the ground, staring blankly at the alley entrance.

The shadow in my arms was gone too.

Thor suddenly understood.

This scene is not a picture of Aunt Jenny before she died, but rather a picture of the most painful memory of her life.

That Jasmine was either her friend or her sister.

So she doesn't have a daughter, but that doesn't mean she's without pain.

Suddenly, Thor reached out to the fallen Jenny. As his arm moved, an invisible, illusory needle emerged from the tip and pierced Jenny's spirit, injecting a tiny bit of starlight into it.

Aunt Jenny was not under Thor's control, but that did not prevent him from mimicking her form in the consciousness space and injecting some energy into her.

It was also an attempt on his part.

Failure only results in the loss of a tiny bit of soul energy, while success... might bring unexpected joy.

Fortunately, the attempt turned out well.

Aunt Jenny, who had been staring blankly at the alley entrance, suddenly became much more lively after receiving Thor's energy.

Her eyes slowly turned around, as if she had only just noticed Thor's presence.

"Thank you. Who are you?" Aunt Jenny vaguely sensed that Thor had helped her, but looking at the gray-skinned boy in front of her, she felt that he was very familiar, but she couldn't remember who he was.

"Do you know where the Grinding Fruits are usually stored in town? Or where those two wizards live?"

Thor didn't dwell on his identity; he didn't know how long the little bit of energy he injected would help Jenny maintain her sanity. He decided to get straight to the point.

"Grinding Fruit..." Jenny was momentarily distracted upon hearing the question. "It's not a good thing. Don't look for it, don't look for it."

Aunt Jenny suddenly leaned close to Saul, their noses almost touching, and her face suddenly magnified in Saul's pupils.

"Let me tell you a secret... I started that fire." She then gave a twisted laugh.

The more she laughed, the bigger her mouth became, until it eventually took up space for the rest of her face. At first glance, her entire face appeared to consist of only a wide-open mouth.

It's past midnight!
