Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 308 Spying

Upon seeing the shadowy figure suddenly appear between Gorsa and himself, Thor's heart immediately tensed, and he almost unleashed a spirit armor spell. But remembering that the tower master might be checking his spiritual body, he quickly relaxed.

"The diary has no prompts."

Saul was a little nervous.

The diary had become his tracking device, and the connection between them had deepened further. He wondered if Gorza would detect the diary's existence if he used special methods to observe his spiritual body.

But faced with the approaching shadow, Thor had no choice but to continue to trust in the diary's power.

The shadowy figure moved incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was already standing directly in front of Thor.

His body was slender, yet as thin as a sheet of paper.

For a fleeting moment, Thor even thought it was Lady Yora, who had been absorbed into Gorza's body. When Lady Yora appeared in shadow form, she was also a silhouette as thin as a sheet of paper.

But he quickly dismissed his own idea.

The dark figure in front of me gave off a completely different feeling from Mrs. Yura.

It was neither irritable nor angry; it simply stood there quietly. As it leaned forward and looked down at Thor, its silhouette faintly overlapped with that of Gorza.

But it is not Gorsa.

Because the tower master himself is still sitting in the corner opposite Thor!

The shadowy figure stared at Thor—though Thor couldn't see the other's eyes—and continued to lean forward.

It moved slowly, but as it drew closer to Thor, the world before Thor's eyes began to distort.

Thor stared intently at the shadowy figure, but as time passed, his gaze gradually focused on the figure's face.

The shadowy figure became clearer in Thor's eyes, while the surrounding scenery gradually blurred.

The room in front of Yu Guangzhong was stretched out by an invisible force, and Gorsa, who was originally only two meters away from him, was now more than ten meters away.

"Is this room... really that big? Or is my vision being distorted by witchcraft?" Thor thought vaguely.

He had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. The approaching dark figure drew almost all of his attention.

He no longer had the energy to think about why the wall beside him had become curved, or when the tower master in front of him had become so far away that he could no longer see his figure. He just wanted to look at the dark figure in front of him carefully, hoping to be able to distinguish the other person's facial features in the blurry darkness.

Yes, Saul felt he was about to see clearly, just a little closer, a little closer...

"Splash..."

Suddenly, the sound of pages turning snapped Saul out of his reverie. He jolted awake, finally noticing the diary within his mind being turned.

The diary simply turned the white pages without stopping to reveal any words.

It is not a warning.

"This isn't a crisis warning; it's the diary helping me stabilize my consciousness!" Upon regaining his senses, Thor immediately realized that the diary was now fulfilling the function of a locator.

When Thor regained consciousness, he found that his mental body was in an extremely scattered state. Even though his consciousness had returned to normal, his mental body was still not tense.

Now his spiritual body is like a mansion whose owner left without locking the door. As long as someone notices it, they can walk in freely, explore all the rooms, and take some valuables with them when they leave!

"This must be the Tower Master's ability. It seems to be able to numb my consciousness." Thor thought to himself, a little anxious, but his reaction seemed to be a beat slow.

The shadowy figure was still slowly approaching, and the world before his eyes continued to stretch infinitely, with the end of the room already a hundred meters away.

"The closer this dark shadow got to me, the longer the world appeared to me. And this distortion increased exponentially. If it continued to get closer, the room in my eyes would probably become hundreds or even thousands of meters long."

"If it were to touch me, would my world... become an infinitely long branch?"

"I can't let it touch me!"

Thor could hear his own heart pounding like thunder; the sense of crisis had never been so clear.

This is not a death crisis, but a cognitive collapse.

Thor knew exactly what would happen if the shadowy figure touched him, but it definitely wouldn't be a good thing! If he didn't die, he'd probably go insane!

But the diary still didn't respond.

This was the first time Saul's own intuition had desperately cried for help, but the diary remained unresponsive.

Seeing that the dark figure was only a centimeter or two away from him, Thor's sluggish brain finally remembered to run away.

Despite the room being extremely small, he was determined to make one last struggle, even if it was only a few centimeters!

"Back up, back up, back up!"

Saul desperately told himself to get away, like someone trapped in a nightmare desperately telling himself to wake up.

With his persistent efforts, his neck finally moved.

It tilted slightly backward, moving Thor's head away from the shadow... by one centimeter.

But it was this one centimeter of retreat that caused the dark figure opposite to suddenly stop moving.

Then, like a spring stretched to its limit, the dark figure suddenly straightened its back.

Just as the shadowy figure straightened up, the world before Thor's eyes suddenly shrank and returned to normal.

The moment vision returned, the shadow disappeared.

The tower master of the Wizard Tower, Gorsa, was sitting quietly in the corner two meters away.

It was as if nothing had just happened.

"Your locator is very good, but what surprises me even more is your willpower, which remains as strong as it was the night we first met."

Thor was slightly out of breath, but this was the result of his efforts to control himself.

He silently put his hands behind his back and tugged at his shirt, which was soaked with sweat.

He hadn't sweated like this in a long time.

"Tower, Tower Master, what was that just now?" Thor's voice was still trembling.

"Observe your spiritual body and see if there's anything unusual about it that you mentioned." He rested his arm on his knee. "However, your locator blocked my view just now, so I couldn't see through your spiritual body and therefore didn't find anything unusual."

Did the diary prevent Gorsa from spying on it?

Thor was somewhat surprised.

Either the diary protected him too well, or the mark of the Soul-Losing Flower was planted very deeply; to find the mark, one must search his spiritual body thoroughly.

But this could also allow others to see through Thor's hidden secrets.

Therefore, even if the purpose of keeping a diary is to hide oneself, one must still take action to prevent others from prying into it.

"But wouldn't that prevent the Tower Master from confirming the Land-based Ship's conspiracy?" Thor's eyes darkened. "I can't just tell him directly that I've been marked by the Soul-Losing Flower."

Thor shouldn't even have heard of the name "Loss of Souls Flower".

He could only nod and thank the tower master, "Thank you, tower master. I guess I was being too sensitive."

No, I trust your perception.

Unexpectedly, Gorsa, who found nothing, confirmed Thor's intuition: "The fact that I didn't find anything this time actually shows that the other party's methods are quite sophisticated."

Thor heard a soft chuckle. "What are the Land Ships best at? It's nothing more than their reliance on the Soul-Stealing Flower."

Become!

Thor looked up, feigning surprise. "Lost Soul Flower? That name sounds like it's about souls."

Gorsa slowly stood up.

His standing posture was also strange. He didn't use his hands for support, nor did he retract his ankles. He just stood up directly, as if a balloon doll had been inflated.

Thor could vaguely see him twisting his neck.

"That's true, but to be more precise, the Soul-Stealing Flower targets consciousness."

I haven't finished writing yet; the next update will be tonight.
