Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 988 Surprise or not? Unexpected or not?

Thor vanished instantly.

The next second, he reappeared inside the star gate.

It wasn't the headquarters of the Stargate Council, but rather a spatial rift located in deep space that the council had carefully hidden away from.

Thor was able to be here because he had already grasped Murridge's fate when he used his tentacles to bind Murridge and swing him up and down in the laboratory.

From that moment on, Murridge became a coordinate point for Thor's teleportation. But no one but Thor knew this.

Now, when Thor sensed that the coordinates were near the spatial rift, he immediately teleported there.

Before Thor, a plump, fat worm was carefully preparing to cross the spatial rift, leave the wizarding world, and enter the vast starry sky to explore other dangerous and unknown worlds.

That fleshy worm was the shell that housed Murridge's soul.

Without Thor's command, the silver butterfly immediately darted into the large, flesh-colored worm in front of it.

Murridge, who was initially shocked, suddenly froze in his instinctive counterattack and could no longer make the move to step out of the star gate.

In the next instant, Thor's right hand transformed into several translucent octopus tentacles, firmly locking the worm in place, wrapping it around several times, and turning the worm into a ball of yarn.

As soon as he made that move, Thor immediately stepped back.

Almost simultaneously, a powerful psychic force from outside the stargate probed Thor's original location, and a flash of electricity nearly struck Thor.

"Wizard Thor, what are you doing?"

Alec's voice traveled through Thor's mind along with the mental energy he had just generated.

Thor put his hands behind his back, giving off a shameless vibe that said, "Even though you've caught me red-handed, I'm just not going to admit it."

"Speaker Alec, now that the migration plan has been a great success and you have already left the wizarding world, Murridge is no longer of any use. I would like to exchange experiences with him regarding the Red Worms, and he will not participate in this migration."

"Ha..." Alec laughed angrily. "You made things difficult for Murridge many times before, just to lull me into a false sense of security, to make me think you only dared to vent your anger verbally. I didn't expect you to actually dare to lay a hand on him? What, you think I can't go back just because I left the Stargate?"

After Murridge teased Agu several times to provoke Thor, Thor never intended to let Murridge leave the wizarding world with Alec.

Therefore, he deliberately pretended to be petty and resentful, and repeatedly caused Murridge some trivial troubles.

The more minor troubles they encountered, the more they assumed that Thor wouldn't actually kill Murridge.

But what they didn't know was that Saul was waiting until the very last day, when Murridge thought he had succeeded and might be able to follow Alikri smoothly, to decisively shatter his hopes and completely seal off his future.

Just like how Murridge deliberately killed Fiona in front of Agu when Agu and Fiona had just recognized each other.

Perhaps Murridge, having failed to find any other Faceless Men, had already decided to execute the backup Faceless Man, Fiona. But he deliberately waited until Agu was overwhelmed with grief before offering a few perfunctory explanations.

Moreover, Murridge claimed that the person who killed the real Fiona was a half-elf, but he didn't expect that this half-elf was right next to Thor.

This proves that Murridge definitely lied about the killer's identity.

A lie is only true if it is nine parts truth and one part falsehood.

If the half-elf isn't the murderer, then who is?

Who else could know the ins and outs of an event so clearly? Who could know the details of the death of an ordinary fifteen-year-old girl?

There is only the real killer.

Therefore, after listening to Agu's tearful account, Thor made a decision in an instant.

Kill Murridge!

He has now completed the first step.

May Murridge's dream of stepping into a new world shatter at the very moment it comes closest!

Of course, the price was facing Alek's wrath.

"Speaker Alec, I'm determined to keep Murridge here. It has nothing to do with whether you return or not. Of course, I still suggest you conserve your strength and continue your interstellar journey. After all, you never know what kind of enemies you might encounter in the future. It's better to preserve your strength."

However, Alek had no intention of giving up on Murridge.

Perhaps Murridge had made significant contributions, or had a close relationship with Alek. Or perhaps Alek simply couldn't tolerate Saul's actions that challenged his dignity.

"Do you really think you have the right to make me conserve my strength?"

Alec's mental energy was already approaching the stargate.

He's really coming back from outside!

Thor raised his hand and placed Murridge into the algae's mouth.

When Xiaozao saw the half-meter-long worm, she immediately "whooshed" and swallowed it whole.

The flesh worm offered no resistance, because when Thor wrapped Murridge with his tentacles, he had already used the diary to directly collect Murridge's soul into the black pages of the diary.

Even if Alec wanted to take Murridge back, it was too late.

Having completed the body transfer, Thor immediately spread his arms. He was prepared to teach Alek a lesson if Alek dared to return.

It covers its entire body, likes to blink, and has extremely dangerous, seven-colored pupils.

However, just as Alek was about to enter the stargate, another voice suddenly rang out behind Thor.

"Since you've chosen to run away, don't come back, Ali. This world no longer welcomes you. Or rather, I don't welcome you anymore."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Thor's lips curled into a smile. He then retracted the tentacles on his arms and ceased activating the star-like eyes within his body.

Conversely, Alik, outside the stargate, stopped in his tracks because of the sound and did not approach.

At the same time, his surprised yet solemn voice echoed in the minds of Thor and the people behind him.

"Gorsa? You're not dead?"

"Yeah, you went for a stroll around the Eye of the Abyss, which you didn't even dare to look at, and now you're back."

Gorsa flew to Thor's side, his golden eyes narrowing slightly, making no attempt to hide the mockery in his gaze.

Thor turned his head, intending to greet his mentor. More than half a year had passed since he last saw Gorsa, and he hadn't expected him to recover so quickly.

However, when Thor turned around and saw Gorza at this moment, his eyes widened and his mouth twitched.

Gorsa, standing before them, was still completely wrapped in bandages, and it was impossible to see how his body had recovered.

This bandage was applied by Thor when he rescued him.

But Thor remembered that he was wearing white bandages, so why was Gorsa's bandage pink?

Before Thor could even marvel at how his mentor had turned pink again, he heard Alec speak once more from across the stargate.

"Very well, it seems I underestimated you. Thor, I underestimated you too. You two madmen together might actually be able to withstand the Black Tide, withstand the Eye of the Abyss. Heh, I hope I'll still be there when I return after advancing to the fifth rank. If you're still alive, we'll settle all our old scores!"

After saying that, Alek's mental energy disappeared again.

It seems that he has given up on Murridge due to the combined pressure from Saul and Gorza.

Thor then slowly stepped back, making way for the Stargate, and looked at the other trembling flesh worms nearby, making a polite "please" gesture.

"I'm going to catch up with Murridge. The rest of you wizards, please continue your journey. If you slow down, you might fall behind Speaker Alec."

I finally arrived a little earlier today.
