Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 354 Have a Sweet Dream

"Hayden, that's all for today. You can go back now..."

Thor's words stopped abruptly the moment he saw Hayden.

Hayden was sitting on the ground, his back slumped against the wall.

She struggled to lift her head and forced a smile at Thor. "My lord, I may not be able to move now."

Hayden's two eyes fell off and rolled onto his robe and under the lab table beside him, respectively.

The culprit that caused his eye to fall out was a white, prismatic crystal protruding from his eye socket.

Thor immediately put the notes and Alpha Necklace into his compressed bag, then quickly walked over to Hayden.

He carefully examined Hayden's skull and found crystals deposited on his ears and both sides of his neck, in addition to his eyes.

They protrude from under the skin like bone spurs, but do not cause the wound to bleed.

It appears that the artificial blood in the experimental body was catalyzed the moment it flowed out, becoming part of the crystal.

As the experimental subject for soul infusion, Hayden was originally required to undergo a regular check-up every six months.

However, the last check-up was conducted ahead of schedule due to the termination of the experimental project. Now, nearly half a year later, Hayden's body is showing signs of collapse!

Thor could learn from Kaz's example and help Hayden remove the "rust" from his body, but judging from Hayden's current condition, the problem is probably with his brain.

That was the part that Rum's mentor was responsible for; Thor didn't know it, and didn't even understand the principles behind it.

"My lord, am I... am I finished?" Hayden's voice trembled slightly.

On the tip of his tongue, which he occasionally peeked out, there were specks of crystals, and similar substances were present on the fair skin around his collar.

Body parts that are far from the head, such as the hands and feet, are normal.

But when Thor reached out to pinch his muscle tissue and found it to be hard and hard, he knew that Hayden's body would soon be pierced by the crystal.

The soul infusion experiment was terminated; Hai Deng's body couldn't even last a year.

Thor seriously doubted that even if the experimental subjects were to undergo regular maintenance, they would probably only last another two or three years.

Saul gently pressed Hayden's body to the ground, then ran his fingertips across her back.

Hayden's clothes immediately tore open at the back, falling to both sides to reveal her back and the golden magic circle on it.

The golden magic circle was not malfunctioning, but as it shifted, it revealed a face contorted in extreme pain.

Clearly, Hayden's true senses had been severed by the magic circle; otherwise, she would be convulsing on the ground in agony, instead of simply lying flat on the ground like a dead fish.

"It's good that the magic circle isn't malfunctioning." Thor breathed a sigh of relief. "Hayden, your body comes from the modified corpse of a level two apprentice, and the filling material inside the corpse has obviously undergone an irreversible reaction. Although I can help you temporarily remove these crystals and restore your basic mobility, this is only a temporary solution, not a cure."

Saul turned Hayden's body over and found that there was also a layer of white crystalline substance on his lips.

"Furthermore, I'm not capable of fully restoring you to your previous state. However, you have another option..."

Saul paused for a few seconds, allowing Hayden to process the information from before.

Only after he saw Hayden's lips slowly tighten did he continue, "I will temporarily seal you in a solution that will dissolve the crystals in your body, as well as the fillers, leaving you temporarily paralyzed. In the process, I will do my best to restore your spirit from the pollution."

I will find you another body later. But during this time, you will be in a state where you can only think but not move for a long period of time.

To prevent you from going insane, I will also seal your consciousness, turning all of this into a dream.

Whether or not we can wake up from this dream is uncertain... All of the above are experimental hypotheses that have never been verified. So, are you willing to take this risk?

Hai Deng slowly opened her mouth, which was filled with crystals, like a crystal cave rather than a human mouth.

"I do." Her voice was a little muffled, but her tone was firm.

Thor was taken aback because he heard two voices in it: one was Hayden, and the other was his alter ego.

In this life-or-death crisis, they made the same choice without hesitation.

Thor nodded in satisfaction. "Then I'll begin."

He then got up and began preparing the solution.

He had already prepared most of the materials; all that was needed was to configure them on-site.

The material used to hold the solution was that stone coffin, which was large enough and well-sealed.

While preparing the solution, he began using a knife, saw, and other tools to cut off the large, prominent prismatic crystals from Hayden's body.

We cannot use witchcraft, for fear of triggering a mutation.

Amidst the grating scraping sound, his consciousness drifted to the necklace in his arms.

He then shook his head and chuckled softly.

Just now, when facing Nick's corpse and hearing those shouts of "Smash it!", Thor momentarily doubted Claire.

Her father was the Duke of Megol, the highest-ranking noble in the Duchy of Kema. And the wizarding apprentice Bri, who had once sent Thor the slender, ghostly figure, was a court wizard accessible only to high-ranking nobles.

The letter that Kismet gave to Saul was delivered to him through Clare's brother, who then gave it to Clare.

Adding to this the "toxic and fragile" birthday gift, it's hard for Saul not to have a series of associations, and even begin to doubt his friendship of the past three years.

But when his chaotic thoughts were interrupted by Hayden's unexpected turn of events, his attention was diverted and he became calmer.

Once you calm down, you can think about more issues.

At the very least, when Claire first lent a helping hand to Thor, no one except the Tower Master knew about his talent.

Even without the help of a diary, Thor was willing to trust his own judgment and his own intuition this time.

But this also served as a reminder to him.

Thor clapped his hands, picked up Hayden, who had been cleaned and made slippery, and slowly placed him into the solution that had begun to show a violent magical reaction.

Throughout this period, Hayden gritted his teeth.

No matter how much pain the cutting of crystals or the corrosive effects of the solution on her skin caused her, she did not utter a single groan.

In the last moment before her face was submerged in the solution, Hayden laboriously turned her head toward Saul, looking at him with her eye sockets that no longer held eyeballs.

Thor leaned down, even though his arms were also submerged in the solution as he supported Hayden, and even though Hayden probably couldn't see anything at this moment, he still smiled gently and said, "Sleep well, have sweet dreams."

……

Thick, irritating liquid blocked my senses, darkness descended, and the pain vanished in an instant.

A tiny glimmer of light flashed, and a silver butterfly fluttered by, unveiling the boundless darkness.

The sunlight shone down and fell on Hayden's eyelids.

Hayden opened his eyes and instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes from the sunlight.

Bright light shone through, turning the palm into a slightly transparent orange-red.

He pushed himself up and found himself lying on the grass in his small garden.

"Hayden!" His father stormed over, brandishing his riding crop. "If you don't study Common Tongue properly, I won't register you for the Wizarding Tower next year when they recruit apprentices!"

"Then I won't report it!" Hayden laughed, then lay down with his hands behind his head.

The soft grass gently supported his body.
