Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 958 Raw Materials

Parasites and immune individuals?

"So Byron was indeed taken away by them. Byron must have realized that these people were the Stargate Council when he was taken away, otherwise he wouldn't have given up completely and even let Agu hide him," Thor thought to himself.

Actually, Murridge's point has some merit.

Thor recalled the iridescent world. There, if he hadn't been a twisted web of fate himself, he would have been shattered into pieces the moment he saw the iridescent world in its true form, overwhelmed by the vast and unabsorbable knowledge.

In fact, this was the situation with Pell, but the Deathbringer seemed to give her a place to stay out of consideration for Thor.

Pei's life form has likely undergone a complete transformation, whether for better or worse is unknown. In any case, Thor can sense that she has lost some of her emotions and humanity.

Thor paused for a moment to process this, then asked Murridge, "Those who are parasitized die, and those who are immune seem to experience mental problems as well. What is the Stargate Council going to do next?"

Moqi didn't offer any further explanation. He simply lowered his eyes, bowed slightly, and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Thor, but the information that follows is classified information about the Stargate. Without Lord Alec's permission, I cannot disclose it. However, if you are willing to join the Stargate's migration experiment, I believe Lord Alec would be willing to share all the internal information with you."

Saul stood up. "I'm sorry, I'm currently lacking energy and don't have the extra time to participate in your experiments. Since it's classified, I won't pry too much. However, you should at least return Senior Byron to me, right? Although he's immune, I don't think he'd be willing to participate in your migration experiment. Or, if I meet him in person and he says he wants to participate in your experiment, then I won't stop him."

Seeing Thor stand up, Agu also immediately stood up, and Murridge, who was opposite him, naturally could not remain seated.

Murridge stood up and spread his hands toward Thor. "I'm sorry, Lord Thor, but Wizard Byron has been transferred to the experimental base. For the sake of the accuracy of the experimental data, we cannot release him for the time being."

"How long do I need to wait?"

"I don't know either."

"I'm going to see Speaker Alek."

"The Speaker is currently at a secret base and won't be coming out easily. Otherwise, he would have personally received you this time."

"Ha." Thor sneered. "If the talks have fallen through, then I'm leaving."

Thor got up and started to walk out, while Murray pursed his lips, not daring to stop him.

After leaving Murridge's room, Thor led Agu outside.

There weren't many people in this underground base. It seemed that those who were captured were either disposed of or quickly sent to a secret base for experiments.

As the two were leaving the secret base, they encountered Fiona again at the entrance of the passage.

Thor stopped abruptly and nudged Agu, who was hesitant in his steps. "Now that you've seen me, why don't you say hello properly? You didn't come all this way across continents just to turn a blind eye to me, did you?"

But before Agu could get close, Fiona took the initiative to come to him.

"Lord Thor, it may be presumptuous of me, but I truly hope you can join our experiment."

It seems someone has already told her about Thor's identity.

"I have very important things to do right now and don't have the energy to devote to your experiments. However, with Speaker Alec and Wizard Murridge around, I don't think they actually need my help at all."

Thor stepped aside, letting Agu face Fiona. "You two talk first, I'll wait for you up ahead."

After saying that, Thor walked directly to the end of the passage.

Fiona didn't know why Thor left but left his servants behind. She thought about it and realized that this might be an opportunity to persuade him.

"Wizard, I hope you can persuade Lord Thor for me. Lord Thor's research on pollution is currently top-notch in the entire wizarding world. If he could join the Stargate experiment, it would definitely speed up our research progress."

"Fiona," Agu interrupted her, looking down at his no-longer-young daughter, "how much do you know about this experiment?"

Fiona looked at Agu with confusion, not understanding why Agu was giving her such a strange look. Normally, she would ignore Agu, but since he was Thor's subordinate and was willing to listen to her, she wanted to win his favor.

"I'm not currently qualified to participate in the core research. But I know that understanding the red worm is extremely useful for us when we leave this dying world. It can give us a shield."

"Yes. But how much danger can this shield really protect you from? And while you're researching the red worms, you're not actually suppressing their spread, are you? You're even letting them roam freely so you can easily find those who are immune."

Fiona already knew Agu's opinion on the experiment, and the enthusiasm on her face faded, barely managing to maintain her composure.

"I understand what you mean. You think we're using the lives of the majority to save the lives of the minority, so you're unwilling to participate, is that right? But Lord Agu, given the choice between everyone dying and a minority surviving, which outcome would you choose?"

Agu shook his head. "That's an overly romanticized ending. In the future, it's also possible that those who stayed didn't die, while those who left did."

"So you lack confidence in our experiment?"

Fiona thought she knew why Thor refused and was quite pleased. She glanced at Thor standing in the distance and whispered an explanation to Agu, but she knew that Thor could hear her if he wanted to.

"Actually, our methods go beyond just the red worms. Let me tell you directly, we've developed a special protective mechanism using Faceless Men and red worms as raw materials. Besides protecting against interstellar pollution, it also provides excellent stealth. That's why we dared to lead so many people out of the stargate!"

Agu was taken aback, then shook his head stiffly and with difficulty. "What did you say?"

Fiona was stunned for a moment, completely bewildered as to why Agu had suddenly become so agitated.

Agu grabbed Fiona by the collar, like an angry father, "What did you use as raw materials? Faceless Men? Are you crazy?"

Fiona, lifted up by Agu and forced to stand on tiptoe, suddenly understood what Agu was angry about.

Her eyes shifted constantly, a variety of complex emotions appearing and disappearing, finally settling into a mocking expression.

"Why are you so agitated? Are you also a Faceless Man?"

Agu's hand loosened as if it had been burned by a hot iron, and he even took a step back.

Fiona sneered and leaned closer, whispering, "Whose existence have you devoured this time? Didn't you sacrifice others for your own survival?"

Agu opened his mouth, then pursed it tightly, refusing to utter a single word.

Fiona glanced at Thor waiting in the distance, but ultimately didn't say anything more cruel. She turned and left, no longer in the mood to try to persuade Agu.

When Thor saw Agu approach with a blank expression, he knew their conversation hadn't gone well. He hadn't eavesdropped on Agu and Fiona's conversation, so he asked Agu a question as he approached.

"Why did it end on such a sour note?"

Agu looked at Thor, his tightly closed lips barely parting to reveal a crack. "She... they're hunting down Faceless Men. Using them as protective material to leave the Stargate."

Thor was taken aback, realizing that the Faceless Men were probably the "merfolk" kept by the Stargate Council.

However, the merfolk are kept alive, but the faceless people, judging from Agu's tone, should be killed as soon as they are caught.
