Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 623 Misplacement

Thor pulled the little girl up to the top of the tower quickly.

But when he got to the top floor, he found it completely empty, with not even a chair on the ground.

The ground was dusty and gray, completely out of place with the manor's otherwise luxurious style.

Moreover, Thor did not see anything unusual.

He released the little girl's mouth again. "Why isn't there anything unusual about it?"

The girl stared wide-eyed ahead. "This isn't the top of the tower."

Thor was puzzled, but the stairs were broken and there were no other floors above.

Whether using meditation or the Eye of Exile, Thor could not see any other rooms.

He jumped directly onto the wall above him, feeling around in the cracks, trying to find a physical mechanism.

But still, nothing was found.

"The texture of this wall is quite nice; it feels much more comfortable to the touch than the floor at the top of the tower."

This tower is decorated so strangely, the ceiling is decorated so exquisitely.

This made Saul even more convinced that there must be a trap here.

Unfortunately, the little girl was not threatened at all. When Saul pressed her for answers again, she just smiled and said, "This is not the top of the tower."

Thor was somewhat confused, and felt as if some thought was flashing through his mind, but he could never quite grasp that clear point.

Just then, Thor heard someone approaching again.

The new footsteps were not hurried; they carried a hint of cheerful leisure.

Inching closer and closer to the top of the tower.

Saul once again hid in a corner with the little girl.

But when the footsteps reached the last step, Thor still couldn't see anyone.

Thor's brow furrowed slightly, but he didn't make a sound or come out from the corner.

The sound of footsteps, though invisible, lingered in the room for a few minutes before slowly disappearing.

Just as Thor was about to reveal himself, he heard a second set of footsteps.

"That footstep sound belongs to someone else."

But Thor still couldn't see the owner of the second set of footsteps.

It was as if ghosts had entered the room, existing in a world of the dead that Thor could not see.

"That footstep sound is a bit strange."

The first footsteps were light and fleeting, making it impossible to pinpoint where in the room the person making them was wandering.

The second set of footsteps was much clearer.

But the clarity of the sound only confused Saul more.

Thor slowly raised his head and looked at the wall above him. An idea that had been hidden in his mind for a long time finally became clear.

He stopped hiding and emerged from his hiding corner, but he didn't remove Xiaozao and the girl's disguises, leaving them to remain hidden.

Alone and highly vigilant, Saul slowly walked to the center of the room.

Later on, he didn't even bother to hide his footsteps.

And then Thor deliberately stomped on the ground to make a sound.

The footsteps of the second person who had been pacing around the room suddenly stopped.

As if someone had noticed something, they stopped what they were doing, remained silent, and listened intently.

Thor then deliberately took a second step.

"tread!"

Footsteps echoed in the empty room.

"Da da da da da..."

Thor's footsteps startled the second person, but the other person's reaction was unexpected.

The other party actually ran away!

That's not how pursuers should react.

Thor did not give chase.

He kept his head tilted back, as if he was looking at something very interesting.

Then he pulled back from behind, dragging Xiaozao and the girl who were hiding in the corner to his side.

But his gaze remained fixed on the wall above him.

"I know why the second person's footsteps sounded a bit strange just now."

The little girl blinked her big eyes and remained silent.

Although he received no answer, Thor looked down at the little girl with unwavering certainty.

He said softly, "The second person's footsteps came from the wall above."

"Thinking about it carefully now, the first person's footsteps weren't very clear, but they should have come from the wall above us."

Thor looked at the little girl and said, word by word, "Those two people were walking on top of us."

Thor recalled the strange things that had happened along the way that he had overlooked.

"They're not walking on the walls above their heads."

"It was me walking on the roof."

"So those small black iron tables spaced close together in the hallway weren't tables, they were chandeliers!"

"That's why the walls overhead feel better to the touch, because that's where the brick floor is."

Thor flew up and pressed himself against the wall above him.

"From this perspective, this room is not the top of the tower at all, but the bottom floor of the tower."

Thor landed back on the ground he recognized. "Aren't you right?"

The little girl seemed to be playing dumb, "What are you talking about? I don't understand. Anyway, my baby is at the top of the tower."

"Heh." Thor pressed down on the little girl's head with one hand. "Then let's go to the top of the tower, which is what I know as the bottom of the tower."

Thor had Xiao Zao tie the girl into a cocoon again, then pulled her around and walked downstairs.

……

A humanoid shadow suddenly appeared in the manor lady's room. After failing to ambush Lucy, it was pinned to the wall by Redbeard.

But this is just the beginning.

Before everyone could even analyze the composition of the dark figure, a second, third, and fourth dark figure shot in from outside the balcony like arrows!

Still unable to regain their spellcasting abilities, the group could only rely on the items in the room to fight back or dodge.

At that moment, one of the housekeepers' heads was covered by a dark, monstrous creature, which then trapped her head.

Because the housekeeper was a key figure in the manor, Lucy, Redbeard, and the others immediately went to her rescue.

But after they used candlesticks and smashed chairs to knock away the shadowy figure, they discovered that most of the housekeeper's head had been corroded.

The remaining half was half white and bubbling, and the other half was bleeding gurglingly.

Such a person naturally cannot survive.

The butler collapsed like a normal corpse.

The body that had just fallen rotted and disintegrated at an incredible speed, quickly turning into a pile of rotten flesh in everyone's eyes.

A chill ran down everyone's spine.

That shadowy figure's attack was terrifying!

The group, who had originally wanted to fight the shadowy figure, immediately backed down and left the room. They worked together to close the door and dragged a cabinet over to block it.

Another housekeeper escaped with them, but she showed no fear on her face and even turned to urge the others on.

"Find the lady. Otherwise, the demon will dissolve us all."

"Damn it." The red-bearded man's face darkened. "These shadowy figures are a countdown. If we can't bring the lady of the manor back, this place will probably be overrun with shadowy monsters!"

Lucy, however, became even more certain of her earlier guess.

"Or rather, we either need to find a way to get back the stolen lady, or we need to find a way to enter the other dimension where the thief is!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than the door to the room that had been blocked shattered with a crash.

Several dark figures shot out from the main entrance.

Because they were moving so fast, they stuck to the wall across the corridor with a crackling sound.

But before people could even find it funny, one by one they pulled themselves up from the wall, staring intently at the wizards in the corridor with their featureless black faces.

There are just too many of these dark figures!

Just now there were only one or two humanoid shadows, but now there seem to be almost a hundred!

The terrifying sense of oppression immediately made everyone hold their breath.

Suddenly, Redbeard grabbed the housekeeper standing next to him and slammed her down on the shadowy figures who were about to launch another attack.

The housekeeper had just bumped into the wall when she was immediately enveloped by countless dark shadows.

Then her body, enveloped by the shadow, began to shrink and deform rapidly.

A few drops of murky liquid flowed down the gap in the shadows onto the ground, emitting a disgusting odor.

The moment he threw the housekeeper out, Redbeard turned and ran.

"Run!" Lucy's face turned pale, and she ran after them.

She had a few more questions she wanted to ask the housekeeper, but unexpectedly, Redbeard sacrificed the housekeeper to save his own life.

But now is not the time to blame him; let's focus on surviving this crisis first!

Chapter Two was still around 10 PM.
