Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 347 Rust

It was Luo Kai!

Thor was somewhat surprised, but then he had a feeling that he knew it was true.

"Between you and Luo Kai, who approached Angela first?"

Ann: [Rokai had contacted Angela before I possessed her. However… when Rokai came to Angela again, it was I who encouraged her to accept the Bichie ritual.]

"Why? What benefit can you gain from the ritual?"

Ann: [I had just escaped from the mezzanine and was very weak, needing to replenish my energy. On the other hand, in order to survive, I merged with a part of Angela, so her becoming stronger was also important to me.]

Luo Kai certainly wouldn't give anyone benefits for nothing. Just like when he established the communication association, there must be some purpose behind it.

"At what cost did you obtain the Bichye sacrifice?"

Ann: [All the byproducts of the rituals will be given to a first-level apprentice. But I'm certain that they will eventually end up in Rokai's hands.]

Luo Kai can indeed do that.

His mutual aid society's high-level gatherings were meant to help senior apprentices exchange things and share information, but as the organizer, Luo Kai certainly also gained a lot of information and benefits.

This is the advantage of the platform.

Lower-level members of mutual aid societies are easily manipulated by these societies, and some become cannon fodder.

Claire was once infected with a parasite, and Annie, who was weak, died directly in front of Thor because of the parasite.

Although Sid eventually came forward to take "responsibility" for Anne's death, Saul now suspects that Rochet may have been involved.

And the person who finally brought Angela down was Billy...

"Is Billy also one of Luo Kai's men? He can actually control a Level 3 Apprentice. The influence of this mutual aid society is probably more profound than I thought."

And now, Luo Kai has clearly captured a new prey.

"Stripping away the spirit...creating a vengeful spirit...wait, what?" Thor suddenly paused. "The wandering wizard in Mossport Town also obtained a magic circle for creating vengeful spirits. I even saw an advanced version of the magic circle at the lakeside hut."

Thor couldn't understand why Luo Kai, who clearly majored in earth element, was always associated with dark-attribute witchcraft, magic circles, and rituals.

"Next time I go out, I'll go back to the lakeside cabin and look carefully. Maybe there are some details I've overlooked."

Thor's strides were long and his pace was fast. Before he knew it, he had arrived at the 16th floor of the East Tower where his mentor Rum was located.

As soon as he entered the corridor, Thor saw Hayden pacing back and forth.

She rubbed her hands together nervously.

When Thor appeared, Hayden let out a long sigh of relief.

"You're so scared, I thought you'd let him out." Thor walked over, and the two of them headed together toward Professor Rum's dormitory.

Hayden was still half a step behind Thor, even though Thor had never asked him to do so.

In the quieter living quarters for mentors, Hayden's voice was also low. "He said that if I always hide, the pollution will come even faster."

Hayden's second personality saw things more clearly than his primary personality. Avoidance is definitely not a good way to solve problems.

Although it can be very useful at times.

The door to Rum's mentor's room was not closed, but left a crack. A male apprentice stood outside the door.

Like Hayden, he was blond and blue-eyed.

Now Saul knows that this is entirely due to Rum's own aesthetic sense.

All soul-infusing experimental containers undergo surface cosmetic surgery to avoid trouble.

After waiting outside for about 15 minutes, everyone heard a voice from inside, "Next."

The door was slightly widened, and a slender girl walked out. Her hair hung down, covering most of her face, and her beautiful face looked somewhat gloomy.

The first male apprentice immediately entered the room.

While the instructor was changing, Thor also walked to the door, but just as he raised his hand to knock, he heard the voice of another instructor coming from inside.

"Is that Thor? Come in with me."

It's Kaz, what's he doing here?

Thor followed him inside, and the second-level apprentice in front of him suddenly stiffened, turning his neck 90 degrees before stopping in place.

He continued walking only after Saul passed him, lifted the heavy curtain, and entered another room.

Upon entering the cubicle, Thor was blinded by a beam of sunlight.

Today, the window in Professor Rum's room was slightly open, and the sunlight outside was very bright. A beam of light shone in, like a sharp sword that could ward off the darkness.

Passing through the beam of light, Thor saw Mentor Katz and Mentor Rum.

Rum Mentor is still a mountain.

It was even more magnificent than the one Bissoir had seen last time; the fat on its back bulged up and was already taller than its head.

"How's your experiment going? Ha... What are you standing there for? Go lie down!"

The following words were spoken to the apprentices who followed Thor in.

"I still have many questions, so I wanted to come and learn from you."

"Since you can already conduct soul infusion experiments independently, I don't have much to teach you. Like I said before, you can come and check anytime. If you can discover anything, or even something I haven't, that would be even better. But... heh, let's get started, otherwise Instructor Kass doesn't have much patience."

Professor Rum seemed to be in a good mood; he was all smiles.

The corners of her mouth were hidden by fat, so it was impossible to see whether they were upturned.

Thor watched as the male apprentice took off his outer robe, leaving him in only his shorts, and quickly lay down on the cold experimental table.

"Thor, come over here and keep an eye on things. In a bit, let me see how much of your skill you have left in the morgue." Instructor Kaz's voice was still hoarse but authoritative.

He rarely took off his long robe, and wore a relatively fitted black outfit, with rubber gloves on his hands, the kind you only see when performing surgery.

A row of dissection tools was laid out in front of him: scalpels, needles, clamps, tweezers, etc., all gleaming coldly.

"Yes, mentor." Thor stood behind Kaz, watching him swiftly slice the male apprentice's hand from shoulder to wrist.

The wound opens up instantly due to the contraction of the skin, like a jelly being cut open. There is not much blood flowing out, and the blood is thicker than that of a normal person.

Thor had also cut open Hayden before, so he was no stranger to this phenomenon.

However, Kaz's actions surprised him. The other party had switched to tweezers and was probing the wound, seemingly searching for something.

Thor lowered his head, his gaze following the tip of the tweezers. Then he saw Instructor Katz quickly use the tweezers to pick something out of the muscle and toss it into a tray beside him.

Looking at the tray from left and right, I saw an irregularly shaped stone with black, white and gray stripes, which looked a bit like a gallstone.

Before Thor could figure out why the stone was inside the container, Kaz threw in another similar stone.

About five minutes later, he found seven or eight more pieces, and then Professor Katz threw down the tweezers in his hand.

"Sol, you handle the rest. Remember to wear gloves."

Thor quickly went over, pulled out a brand new pair of gloves from the side of the lab bench, put them on, and then picked up the tweezers, just like his mentor Katz.

He almost never wore gloves when collecting materials in the morgue before, but this time his mentor Kaz made him wear gloves, probably to protect the experimental subject lying on the experimental table who could still be considered alive.

Katz himself didn't rest either; he moved to another floor and deftly cut open the other arm of the test subject.

Thor stopped looking at Instructor Kaz and lowered his head, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Initiate semi-immersive meditation.

Small white dots appeared inside the wound on the arm.

The number is alarming.

"Can you see many?" Rum's voice drifted over. "Just pick out those with a diameter greater than two millimeters."

What about the rest?

Are we just going to ignore it?

Thor had a vague idea of ​​what those small stones were.

These are synthetic bodies processed by several mentors, including Rum. However, these artificially created bodies can develop impurities due to various problems, much like metal rusting.

This is a hidden danger that could cause the container to completely decay from the inside.

If each experimental subject undergoes regular inspections, does that mean that all experimental subjects undergoing soul infusion will actually... rust?
