Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 314 Memories of the Corpse

Thor gripped the puppet tightly in his hand; its ruby ​​eyes had now turned completely black.

It sensed that other spiritual forces were influencing it!

Thor immediately looked around.

"There couldn't be anyone else here. And from the time I got the puppet to when its eyes turned black, only a few minutes had passed." His expression grew increasingly serious. "The change happened in those few minutes."

His gaze swept over the lab table, the candlelight, and the horde of corpses, finally settling on Nick in front of him.

"Agu, were you staring at the puppet the whole time?"

Agu: [I'm sorry, Master. I only noticed some unusual mental fluctuations in you while examining Nick's body. They were different from your previous fluctuations.]

"You were observing carefully while I was examining the other corpses, weren't you?"

Agu: [Yes, Master.]

"Then it's almost certain that Nick was the one who caused the puppet to change." Thor turned his gaze away and stared at Nick's corpse in front of him.

Nick died because he failed to advance his promotion, and his body was not severely damaged. There were also very few usable materials available during the disposal process, so his appearance didn't change much.

Thor made the diary emit the mark of the Soul-Stealing Flower, and the already extremely faint mark indeed began to flash at a certain frequency.

"So the sustainer can be a dead man." Thor didn't immediately move away from the signal source; instead, he moved closer. "If I hadn't had multiple methods to detect the mental force being applied to me, who would be wary of a corpse standing in a warehouse?"

"Nick's body has definitely been tampered with. The method of preservation was used as a signal transmitter fixed inside the body. The perpetrator knew that the corpses in the morgue are generally not dissected a second time. Of course, this is not a secret to wizards of level three apprenticeship and above."

Thor originally thought that once he discovered the maintainer of the mark, he would be able to find the enemy's trail. However, he did not expect that the other party would use an intermediary to act as a proxy, and the real manipulator was still hiding behind the scenes.

Morton: [Master, I suggest you don't move this corpse, otherwise the person controlling it might notice.]

Thor nodded. "But if the mark they've placed on me is something that will manifest in the near future, then my ability to remain completely unaffected will be exposed."

Agu: [In that case, we'd better figure out what information is contained within this mark.]

Thor sat on the edge of the sarcophagus, looking at Nick's corpse. "Since the ability to maintain it has been entrusted to a corpse, considering that corpses cannot adapt to changing circumstances and are affected by external anomalous force fields, the signals it releases should not be very complex. Perhaps we can try to decipher them."

Thor immediately ordered several consciousnesses to be on high alert. He wanted to try to charge the mark to amplify its signal feedback in order to detect abnormal mental fluctuations.

Xiao Zao hurriedly handed him paper and pen, as well as some instruments for testing mental strength.

Conscious entities naturally don't need instruments or paper and pen; they can only rely on their own memory and analysis.

Next, Thor carefully transferred the mark from next to the diary to the tentacle, and then slowly brought the spirit tentacle closer to Nick's corpse.

As the mark drew closer, the fluctuations in mental energy, distinct from Thor's own, gradually became more pronounced.

Thor ignored the others and tried to figure out the pattern himself. However, mental energy fluctuations were not a language; they felt more like code to Thor.

Without a codebook, it would be extremely difficult to crack.

He could only start by examining the emotions contained within the mental fluctuations, since mental fluctuations were not simply cold, emotionless code.

However, the same emotion can also mean different information. Just like looking at a picture without reading the text can lead to vastly different understandings of the content.

"Wait! The visuals?" Thor's mind raced, and he actually came up with a straightforward way to analyze it.

He put down his pen and paper, bent down, and carefully examined Nick's body.

"According to the records, Nick died after I left the Wizard's Tower, but the body had only been there for less than two days. Many people may have come into contact with Nick before that. For example, Kaz, the mentor in charge of the autopsy, his assistant, the person who transported the body, and even Kugin, who took over the warehouse work. If Nick's body remained active during this time, like the horde, wouldn't it also have the ability to automatically replay events, just like the horde?"

However, since some time had passed, Thor was unsure whether the body could still "remember" such distant scenes.

But that didn't stop him from giving it a try.

Thor made a decision and immediately focused on the diary within his mind.

"Very good, Brother Diary didn't object either."

Thor sat down on the ground, ignoring the astonishment of the several consciousnesses, and used his mental power to imitate his meditation method of erosion, walking counterclockwise.

Soon, he felt his body lighten, and when he looked down, he saw that he had walked out of his body.

This time, the astral projection was even easier than before. His body, after its second modification, acted like an intelligent system, considerately and proactively helping him detach from his body.

Thor raised his hands to his eyes to confirm that his astral form was still the same as in his previous life. His thoughts raced through his mind, and the translucent body quickly transformed, becoming Thor once more.

He stood up, floated above Nick's body, and felt the faint attraction coming from below. Without resisting the force, he naturally burrowed into Nick's body.

boom--

It felt as if I had suddenly teleported several kilometers, and the scene before my eyes shifted rapidly. Points became lines, and lines became distorted images.

Everything has lost its original appearance.

Saul remained calm. He tried to decipher the distorted scene before him caused by the accelerating motion, attempting to find meaningful people and things within this abstract spectacle.

Finally, Thor's eyes fell on a spot where some features seemed familiar.

There's even a sense of familiarity.

"That's a place I used to frequent!"

Thor and Nick's lives didn't intersect much, and among the places Nick visited before and after his death, even fewer felt familiar to Thor.

This is undoubtedly a breakthrough!

Saul focused his mind on the familiar scene. However, because the scene was constantly distorting and spinning rapidly, it was still very difficult to find the true answer from those familiar features.

"The distortion in the image is because it's moving very fast to me. To see the image clearly, I need to remain relatively still compared to it."

Simply put, it is very difficult to observe the scene inside a fast-moving train car from the train platform, but it is easy to observe from inside the train car once you get on the train.

Thor narrowed his eyes and trembled his mental body again. His gaze followed that point of image as it spun rapidly.

Because it was an active acceleration of the rotation, Thor's mental energy was under immense strain. If the diary hadn't acted as his locator, supporting him in maintaining consciousness, Thor probably wouldn't have been able to attempt such a thing.

Thor finally saw the scene before him clearly.

He saw a ceiling with runes engraved above him, control panels with various props placed beside him, and a conveyor belt covered with black leather beneath him.

What he saw was not limited to the eyes of the corpse.

This was the body's response to the environment in which the body was located, and it was also reflected in Thor's mind. In addition, he was very familiar with this place, and the complementary memories ultimately formed a clear picture.

This is the third morgue!
