Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 39 This is an open conspiracy

Kongsa thought that Thor shouldn't be so stupid!

Every time she went to see Saul, it was late at night when no one was around.

How could Thor dare to show up at his doorstep so brazenly at 8 o'clock, carrying a severed head?

Although Kongsa had noticed that there was no one in the corridor just now, who knows how many people saw Saul on his way up.

Unexpectedly, she only forgot to give one instruction, and Thor's existence was exposed just like that!

Thor was slammed to the ground by Kongsa's powerful strength, and the yellow leather fell out of his arms.

The box rolled further, the lid fell off, and inside came a head that had died of terror.

His eyes were still glared upwards, staring intently at the top of his head.

When Kongsha saw the head of the first-level apprentice, her anger subsided slightly.

"Do you think you can use this to blackmail me? Let me tell you, even if someone finds out, you're the one who'll die. I'll just have to pay some credits back."

"Senior, you've misunderstood."

How could Saul possibly be threatening Kongsa?

His tactic is called "pulling the tiger's skin".

If this goes well, it might just put West Germany and Konstantinos at odds.

Thor didn't get up; he just sat there on the ground.

With her head down, she recounted her experience of walking all the way from the morgue.

"I... I really couldn't bear to leave this head with me, so I ran straight here. I'm sorry, senior!"

After hearing Saul's explanation, Kongsa stood there for a moment, lost in thought.

She glanced at the ground, which had been stained by Thor and the corpse's head, and felt annoyed.

"There's a bathroom here. Go take a shower first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

Saul thanked him repeatedly.

He was sticky all over and felt terrible, but he never expected to be able to take a shower at his senior's place.

Just as Thor sat down in the steaming stone bathtub, before he could even properly enjoy the relaxing feeling of his skin being soaked in warm water, Senior Kongsha swaggered in, pushed open the bathroom door, and sat down in the chair opposite Thor.

"Senior, I'm taking a shower." Thor was a little embarrassed and submerged himself further underwater.

Although he was only twelve years old and the woman opposite him was hardly a respectable woman, he still felt that he had been taken advantage of.

"Don't be embarrassed. I've seen dozens, if not hundreds, of limbs on the lab table. I know your anatomy better than you do." If she still had eyelids, Kong Sha might have rolled her eyes.

Saul had no choice but to pretend he was facing a urology nurse, relax his limbs as much as possible, and continue to enjoy the soothing effect of the hot water while cleaning off the dirt on his body.

First-level apprentices don't have the right to take a bath; they can only go to the public bathhouse for a quick shower.

Kongsha glanced at Thor's hands before getting back to the main topic.

"You're saying West Germany threatened you?"

"Yes. From what he said, I'll soon lose my job at the morgue."

Thor looked at Kongsa with a panicked expression.

"It seems that Sid brought some new recruits back to the tower this time." Kongsa had already understood Thor's meaning and was sharing her information.

"Could it be that among these newcomers there are those with even stronger soul talents?" Thor frowned worriedly.

"If someone really catches the eye of Instructor Kaz..." He gave a bitter laugh, his shoulders slumping, "maybe I really will have to get out of here."

If Kong Sha still had eyelids, she would probably want to roll her eyes again.

"Don't worry about that, I'll take care of it. Just focus on completing the tasks I've given you."

"Okay, senior." Thor immediately showed a relieved smile.

Before Thor could finish speaking, Kongsa swayed over.

Thor sensed something was wrong and tried to back away, but quickly found himself pressed against the hard stone wall.

Kongsha placed her hands on the edge of the stone barrel, leaned forward, lowered her head, and pressed the top of the glass dome against Thor's forehead.

"Did West Germany see what you brought back?"

An unexpected, warm touch came from his forehead. It felt as if what was pressing against Thor's forehead wasn't a glass dome, but rather a woman's delicate skin.

"Perhaps Kongsa's head didn't actually turn into a terrifying glass dome, and it was all just a smokescreen?"

This naive idea was barely formed before Thor extinguished it.

In this cursed wizard tower, even a person who looks normal is treated as a potential monster, let alone Kongsa, who clearly looks abnormal.

Thor didn't dare to look up.

He knew that Kongsha's eyes were probably popping out of the white fluid again, staring at him fiercely.

Every time I meet those eyes, a chilling dread runs from head to toe.

This isn't a kind of horror that you can get used to after watching it a few times.

Suppression at the level of life cannot be overcome by courage alone.

Even the hottest bath water can't warm the chill that seeps out from the very core of your soul.

"There was no adult," he couldn't help but revert to his old form of address, "but he knows I work in the morgue, so he probably guessed what it was."

Kongsa remained attached to Thor's head.

The pressure is mounting.

The warmth was replaced by a chill.

The cold air felt like a drill, threatening to pierce Thor's skull.

The chill above him and the steam rising from the hot water beneath him made it hard to breathe, and Thor opened his mouth and tried to draw in air.

"Ha ha……"

Even though their mouths and noses weren't covered, it looked like they were about to suffocate at any moment.

Kong Sha watched all this with satisfaction before slowly straightening up and letting him go.

"You're trying to provoke me into going against West Germany?" Kongsa chuckled. "Do you think you're worth it? If you try to play tricks on me again, I'll eat your brains!"

Kong Sha swayed as she walked out of the bathroom, leaving behind a single sentence.

"From now on, you are only allowed to come see me after midnight."

Thor watched as the bathroom door closed, then slowly submerged his head underwater.

"I got a lesson, didn't I?" Underwater, Thor's expression was calm, the fear from before completely gone. "But the first objective has been achieved. Senior Kongsha, once people have a conflict of interest, there will inevitably be struggle. This isn't playing tricks; it's an open strategy."

……

With his hair still wet and disheveled, Thor left Kongsa's room in a sorry state.

If he were a little older, today's experience might have turned into a romantic scandal.

Unfortunately, at this point, neither the man nor the woman was someone who could arouse interest in spreading rumors.

The West Tower has six floors.

There were far fewer people in the corridor.

Some went back to rest, some started studying, and some were reluctant to part with this rare social moment.

The chatter would quiet down as Saul passed by, but once he was gone, the whispers would return like mosquitoes.

Doze, Rocky, Jenna, and Duke are a small group.

Moreover, they all joined the mutual aid society.

Doze, Rocky, and Jenna all chose Anze, the mentor recommended by the enthusiastic senior student Luo Kai.

Only Duke, for some unknown reason, switched back to the dark attribute mentor Kaz at the last minute.

Duke only withdrew his concealed gaze after Thor's figure disappeared behind the door of dormitory 603.

Seeing this, Doze laughed and asked, "What's wrong, Duke? You still hate Thor?"

Hearing Doze's words, Jenna looked at Duke with curiosity.

She was not present when Duke and Saul had their conflict.

Moreover, she wasn't a gossip-loving person and was unaware of the entanglement between the two.

Duke quickly smiled and said, "What's there to hate? I just don't like him. We all went through a lot of hardship and selection to become apprentices, unlike him who came in halfway and passed the test by cheating."

Duke's words resonated with the others, who also recalled the somewhat strange atmosphere on the day of the test.

"Yeah, I still can't figure it out. How did he pass the test when his magical talent was so poor?" Doze said. "I think Senior Sid didn't want him to pass, but Senior Nick let him off the hook. Senior Nick looks cold, but I didn't expect him to be so soft-hearted."

"Is his magical talent really that bad?" Jenna asked curiously.

She had even invited Thor to join the mutual aid society, since inviting one more person would earn her a magic crystal.

But Thor didn't give her any face at all, and thinking this, Jenna couldn't help but pout.

"Of course he's bad, even our advisors don't think much of him." Duke casually agreed, but in his mind he remembered that after Kaz took Thor away, Thor never went back to the lab.

Was he chosen by his mentor, Kaz, to do that job?

Recalling that terrifying and bloody working environment, Duke felt nauseous yet couldn't help feeling jealous.
