Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 964 Alec's Viewpoint

Although he realized that the person flying towards him was Byron, there were other people with Byron. At the last moment, Thor concealed himself behind a red worm that was over three meters long.

Ordinary people cannot see these red worms, nor can they see Thor, who blends into the background. Those who can see the worms, however, are so captivated by the striking red worms that they overlook Thor hiding behind them.

Soon, Byron appeared, accompanied by two other wizards, both first-tier wizards. All three, including Byron, carried a red worm.

However, the two first-tier wizards were carrying insects no bigger than their arms, while the insect on Byron was exceptionally large, nearly two meters tall, exceeding his height. The insect clung to his back, and from a distance, it looked like he was carrying a giant backpack.

Thor had just seen other second-tier wizards, and none of them had insects as large as those on Byron.

Judging from their formation, Byron still seemed to be the leader of this squad.

"Has Senior infiltrated the enemy camp and become a leader? Why are the bugs on his body so big?" Thor felt that Byron didn't seem to need his rescue.

Thor tugged at the thread of fate belonging to Byron within his own mental body.

Byron, who was rushing on his way, suddenly stopped.

"What is it, sir?"

Byron's eyes flickered slightly. "You all go and carry out your missions first. I need to check on the condition of the other test subjects."

The two first-tier wizards who were with Byron did not notice anything unusual, nodded, and left first.

Byron flew back in the direction Thor had come from, but stopped halfway there to look around and see that no one else was approaching.

"Are you nearby?" Byron asked in a low voice, so soft that it could barely be heard more than two meters away.

But Thor, who had been watching Byron closely, heard it. In an instant, one of his hands transformed into an octopus tentacle, which he flicked and wrapped around Byron, pulling him behind the red worm where Byron was hiding.

"Senior, Agu and I were worried about you, and look what happened—you've already become a leader here?"

Thor looked at Byron with amusement, especially staring at the huge red worm on Byron's back for several moments.

Although few wizards had seen the red worms along the way, Byron had no doubt that Thor could see them.

"To defeat the enemy, you must first understand the enemy." Byron was also happy to see Thor again after a year, but his expression remained indifferent. "I just gained the right to leave, and I was planning to go out and find Agu this time. I didn't expect you to have already found me."

So, does Byron still consider the Stargate Council to be an enemy?

"What do they want with you? I saw a wizard tied up in that balloon over there, and you free people are covered in bugs, you can see them, right?"

Byron nodded. "Actually, from the Stargate Council's perspective, we, along with those imprisoned experimental subjects, are their test subjects. The data they actually want to test is..."

"Let me tell Wizard Thor."

Suddenly a sound rang out, startling both Thor and Byron.

Although they heard other people's voices, they still couldn't identify the source of the voices, even though the voices were right next to them.

As Thor looked around, the three-meter-long red worm in front of him suddenly split open from the middle of its abdomen.

A thin, middle-aged man emerged from the belly of a red worm that was inaccessible to others.

The man had dark skin and brown hair with some silver strands, making him look to be in his fifties or sixties, but his skin was as smooth as a peeled egg.

"Speaker Alec," Byron called out to Lassall, pulling him aside.

The president of the Stargate Council, Ali, doesn't quite match the rumors. He's ranked first in strength among the publicly known fourth-tier wizards, but he rarely participates in combat, devoting most of his energy to research.

When Thor saw Speaker Alek suddenly appear before him, his first reaction wasn't to admit he'd been caught sneaking in, but rather to ask in surprise, "These red worms are untouchable by either mental or magical power. How did you manage to hide inside and then get out?"

Alek smiled, his seemingly harsh face showing no sign of anger.

"You refused when Murridge invited you to join the Stargate experiment, and now you're asking me?" he said jokingly. "Well, I won't just tell you that."

So this is the personality of the president of the Star Gate Council?

For some reason, people always feel a deep sense of trust in Ali.

Thor suspected that he was being influenced by the other party's magic, but when he checked his spiritual body, there was no other force acting on it.

So, is it due to one's personal charisma?

"Just kidding."

The other party was indeed joking.

"Stargate welcomes you to join our experimental research at any time."

Alec first said to Byron, "You still have a task. Whatever your purpose in joining the experiment, focus on completing your current task first."

Byron pursed his lips, glanced at Thor worriedly, but realizing that he couldn't help if he stayed, he gave him a wink and turned to leave to find the first-tier wizard from before.

Thor touched his chin somewhat awkwardly. "So you guessed I would sneak in?"

"There's no need to guess." Alec snapped his fingers, and the two of them suddenly moved from a bunch of insects to a room full of experimental equipment.

"This side of the world has never been defended. Anyone who can find the entrance can come in. I don't need to send anyone to patrol or guard against it. I believe that those who see the stargate experiment will eventually choose to join. Just like your friend, and your future self."

Speaker Alek was quite confident.

"Your current attitude contradicts Murridge's actions of arresting people outside," Saul said rather boldly.

"That was Murridge's doing. Before the Stargate Council completely leaves the wizarding world and ventures into space, we still need stability in grassroots society to provide sufficient resources and personnel. If we made the Red Worm's existence public, the productivity of the city, filled with panic, would be greatly reduced. So we ultimately chose to conduct the experiment in secret. However, a wizard like you who can find his way in wouldn't choose to reveal the secret of the Red Worm to the outside world even if he knew it."

Alec is right about that. Although Thor sneaked in to rescue people, he had no intention of revealing the existence of the Red Worm to the general public.

First of all, the red worms do not attack people without magical abilities. To those worms, people without magical talent are like pebbles on the roadside. They can step on them at will, but they won't deliberately step on them.

Then, how do you explain to the wizards who can neither see nor touch the worms that you want them to believe that red worms really exist?

"And what happens after you begin your journey through the stars?"

"At that time, the world was about to be destroyed by the Black Tide. Those who remained would either find a new way to survive with an extremely small probability, or perish with the world. Knowing the truth or not is meaningless."
