Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 981 The Reason for Amnesia

Neither Alek nor Thor could convince the other.

In the days that followed, Thor and Douglas began to actively cooperate with Alec in conducting experiments.

Thor didn't even bother Murridge again.

However, this seemed normal to them. After all, the people Murridge had fooled were just two Faceless Men.

One of them is still alive.

Why not just let Thor vent his anger?

Alec will abandon his physical body, combine his soul with the deactivated red worm, and then combine his appearance with the mixed tissue of the Faceless Man.

Although the Stargate will take some Red Worms, the number of people they can take from this world is limited. Ultimately, it will leave Thor and his companions with a large number of inactivated Red Worms.

After participating in the experiment, Thor finally understood why Alec had agreed to Douglas's conditions. It turned out that Douglas also knew a great deal about the Faceless Men.

After his modifications, the new Faceless Man material could better envelop the Red Worm, concealing the abnormal soul aura within.

Furthermore, Douglas also provided his special invisibility spell circle. Even Alec might overlook someone using the invisibility spell circle if he wasn't paying attention.

It could be said that Douglas seems to excel in research across various fields.

Thor kept a low profile. With Douglas leading the way, he was happy to coast along in the background and secretly focus his energy on the more important task of directly controlling the Red Worm.

Nearly a month later, the migration plan made another breakthrough. With Thor and Douglas joining in, the Stargate successfully sent out an individual that combined a wizard's soul, a red worm's shell, and a faceless man's protective shield for the first time.

And the person was only retrieved when they were about to disappear out of the signal range.

It's a bit of a shame that, since this was just a trial experiment, the soul of a first-tier wizard was used.

Even with its protective shell, this wizard went mad the moment he saw the deep space.

Even after being pulled back from deep space, it did not recover. Its soul was directly transformed into a mass of swampy slime, which also contaminated the material of the Faceless Man's shell.

Alec looked at the mutated soul, his face revealing neither disappointment nor hope. "Thor, you're skilled at treating corruption. See if you can resolve this corruption?"

"Treat this first-tier wizard?" Thor looked at the first-tier wizard whose name he didn't even know. "He has been completely corrupted. I'm not confident."

To everyone's surprise, Alec shook his head. "No, it's the outer shell."

It turns out they wanted to recycle the Faceless Man's outer shell.

It seems the Stargate Council is really short of Faceless Men. If Agu hadn't already died and was now just a soul, they probably would have tried to get Agu's body from him as material.

Thor did not refuse and stepped forward to manipulate the metal arm lever to separate the wizard's soul that had returned from the stargate.

At this point, the outside of the experimental specimen looks like a white ostrich egg. It can be held in two hands.

Thor carefully broke open the white outer shell, which was on the verge of breaking due to its constant internal deformation. Immediately, other wizards came up and took away the mutated but not completely broken soul body inside, which was wrapped by the inactive red worm.

Thor paused for a moment, then saw the mutated soul being disposed of directly. Even the uncontaminated red worm shells were carelessly discarded.

"It's true that scarcity makes things valuable. For the current Stargate Council, even first-tier wizards and red worms can't compare to the rarity of Faceless Man materials."

Thor looked down at the shell, which had been split open in a cross shape. There were some small, scattered bumps on the shell.

"Is this pollution from the stars?" Thor had never faced the pollution from the stars before, and this was the first time he had seen it through this shell.

The star pollution he indirectly experienced came from Pei'er.

Unconsciously, the other party was summoned by the starry sky, separated from the world, and then, for reasons unknown, transformed into the shape of a destiny line.

It transformed into the appearance of the Death Demon.

"Be careful, this is your first time dealing with cosmic pollution," Douglas said, appearing out of nowhere to specifically warn Thor.

"Hmm," Thor responded, then casually asked, "Have you ever been exposed to stellar pollution before?"

Douglas seemed oblivious to Thor's probing, focusing intently on Thor's actions. "Even if you haven't experienced it, you've heard of it. Star pollution is different from Kuroshio pollution; it's often invisible and colorless. A person might not even notice anything unusual about themselves a second before they go mad."

That's a statement that can be interpreted in many ways.

Thor, too lazy to engage in further banter, slowly transformed his right hand into a transparent gray tentacle. Simultaneously, a thin, elongated line of fate was hidden within Thor's tentacle.

"Penny, keep an eye on Douglas's expression."

【Ah! Received!】

Once ready, Thor cut off the foremost tentacle and then used tweezers to hold the tip and touch the small bumps on the outer shell.

Thor was cautious enough, but the moment he touched the contamination on the shell, he realized he had underestimated the problem.

Unlike the radiation fluctuations of the Kuroshio Current pollution, the range of stellar pollution is wider and its transmission routes are also very mysterious.

The instant the severed tentacle came into contact with the contamination, something else appeared in Thor's mind.

He froze on the spot, his eyes trembling slightly, as if he had seen something.

Douglas looked at Thor with a serious expression, as if he intended to interrupt at any moment if anything went wrong.

But after being stunned for about a minute, Saul suddenly came to his senses, threw away the tweezers in his hand, and took two steps back.

He held on for a shorter time than Douglas had predicted, but to Douglas's surprise, Saul seemed unaffected after breaking free.

Douglas couldn't help but step forward, raising his hand as if to touch Thor's forehead, but Thor suddenly looked at Douglas, and those shining eyes made the latter freeze in place.

"Is there a problem?" Thor asked casually.

Douglas lowered his hand and smiled nonchalantly, "It's nothing. I was just looking at you standing there in a daze, and I thought something was wrong."

He's lying, Brother Thor. I saw it clearly this time; he only widened his eyes after you regained your senses!

In truth, Douglas's expression hadn't changed drastically at all. However, Nightmare Butterfly, being observant, still caught a hint of something unusual in his composed demeanor.

Thor first dealt with Douglas, "I'm fine, but it's also true that I am."

"What did you find?"

"Star pollution and Kuroshio pollution are indeed completely different; they even affected my mind without direct contact."

"Luckily you managed to break free in time."

"Hmm..." Thor seemed a little hesitant.

"What's wrong? Is there some other hidden danger?"

"No... it's just that I've completely forgotten what I saw when I came into contact with the cosmic pollution. But I'm sure I definitely saw something."

"Um?"

[Huh? Brother Thor, you've lost your memory again?]

Douglas stroked his chin. "Are you sure you saw something, but can't remember it?"

"Yes, I have no reason to lie to you about this."

“Indeed, we can’t know this unless you tell us.” Douglas looked at the outer shell. “I think we need to discuss this matter thoroughly with Stargate.”

Douglas went back to get help.

Thor stood still, which gave him time to pay attention to Penny.

Why did you just say I had amnesia again?

Brother Thor, have you forgotten? You once showed me your past, wasn't that your first time suffering from amnesia?

Long-forgotten memories flooded back, and Thor finally remembered.

He had indeed forgotten how he came from his original world to this wizarding world.

Could it be that the pollution of the starry sky was what made him forget the reason for his time travel?
