Chapter 33: Hardcover book upgraded?

Thor once again observed the piece of meat on the transport platform with a semi-immersive perspective. This time, it was no longer covered with the vague holy light.

Suddenly, Thor sensed something.

He suddenly turned his head to look at the portal, and a pair of eyes behind the black tassels were staring at him in horror.

Thor walked towards the portal holding the boning knife covered with minced meat and blood.

He pulled aside the black leather tassel and saw a person crawling backwards inside.

The light from the room slanted into the portal, cutting a dividing line of light and darkness on the man's face.

Thor narrowed his eyes and guessed the man's identity.

"Senior, this is the first time we meet. Come over and have a chat."

"Ah, that, haha..." Hayden glanced at the knife in Thor's right hand and swallowed. "I, I just thought that the body seemed a little weird, so I wanted to come and see if you need any help."

Thor smiled.

"Thank you so much. I'm really busy here. Can you help me move it in?"

"Look at me..." He showed Hayden his thin body, "I'm young and weak, I can't move something that heavy."

Hayden's smile froze on his face. He was just being polite! But looking at the bone-chopping knife that Thor still held tightly in his right hand, Hayden compromised.

He climbed out of the portal step by step, "Haha, you are too young, are you ten years old? Senior, come and help you move."

"Wait a minute." Thor suddenly threw the boning knife back to the tool bench with a clanging sound, then turned around and smiled brightly at Hayden.

"Senior, I'm kidding. You really want to come here like this? Go back quickly. This is not a passage for living people to walk. I can do these things by myself. Otherwise, the instructor may misunderstand that I am not suitable for this job."

"Ah? Well then, you can call me if you need anything." Hayden froze in the middle and had no choice but to retreat.

Thor stood at the portal, lifted his tassel, and watched Hayden coldly as he retreated step by step and finally returned to the room where he was.

The tassel on the opposite side fell down, blocking the light coming into the passage from that side.

The passage is three meters long, one meter wide and one meter high, surrounded by thick walls that separate the two rooms.

If it weren't for the passage in the middle, the sound insulation of the room would be very good.

Thor put down the tassel and looked up. The candle light on the portal had turned dim again.

That’s all for today’s work.

There are still some finishing touches to be done though.

So push the big box under the workbench to the side of the conveyor belt, then pick up the boning knife again and scrape the meat off the conveyor belt little by little.

A round object fell from the edge of the conveyor belt, bounced a few times on the ground, and finally rolled to the door and was blocked by the gate.

What is that? Thor walked to the door with the knife in hand, ready to strike.

After walking closer and taking a closer look, he found that the thing on the ground seemed to be... an eyeball? The hardcover book flew up again and appeared in front of Thor, who immediately became alert.

[New Moon Calendar Year 314, June 24, Sunny

Today is a really good day. You dodged the attack of a cunning enemy, sent him to where he should be, and harvested a Phantom Eye.

It's really strange, why can eyes speak? Or do you think eyes are talking? 】

This time, Thor didn't quite understand the contents of the hardcover book.

He didn't understand how he died?

Eyes? Hallucinations? Would his eyes split open? Would his mouth disappear, or would it be sealed shut?

And Thor noticed that there was an unexpected weather description after the date on the hardcover book, which he remembered had never been there before.

Just as Thor stood frozen in place, not knowing what to choose, the hardcover book flew back to his left shoulder.

But he didn't do anything? Thor's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought, "Isn't this a death notice? But a kind of identification technique similar to the introduction of an item?"

Thor tilted his head to look at the hardcover book on his left shoulder, "Dude, you got an upgrade?"

Unfortunately, the hardcover book remained silent and ignored him.

"Hey, you should give yourself a brief introduction first."

Despite his guess, Thor remained alert, holding the boning knife tightly in his hand, and slowly approached the eyeball in front of the door.

Judging from the hardcover book, the content just now should not be a death notice, but this is just Thor's own guess, and he cannot let his guard down yet.

Until Thor walked to the eyeball, slowly squatted down, took out a box, and pushed the eyeball in with the back of a knife, the hardcover book did not come out to warn again.

Thor stood up, closed and sealed the box, feeling excited.

Although he had avoided death warnings many times, the gains each time only saved his life temporarily. He didn't expect to get an extra drop today.

Unfortunately, the hardcover book didn't give Thor any clues before he noticed the abnormality of his eyeballs.

I wonder if it can be upgraded again in the future and become a radar that can actively explore? Putting away the Phantom Sound Eyes and the fantasy of the hardcover book, Thor flexed his facial muscles to make himself look more gloomy.

Then he picked up the bone-chopping knife and pushed open the door of the morgue.

Since coming to the second floor of the East Tower, he has never explored deep into the corridor.

He walked along the corridor. The corridor was still curved, but it looked wider than the tenth floor.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The lights on the second floor always seemed dimmer than other places, and they got dimmer the further you went inside.

At the end of the corridor, it was pitch black, and Thor couldn't see what was hidden behind the shadows.

After walking a dozen steps, a second scarlet door appeared.

This should be the morgue where the senior who is in charge of the second process is located.

Thor went forward and knocked on the door.

After a long while, there was a sound from inside the door.

The door was opened a little.

Hayden's face appeared behind the crack in the door, and his body completely blocked out the light in the room.

"Senior, excuse me for bothering you. My name is Thor, and I'm an apprentice who just enrolled a month ago. It's really rude of you to not know your name."

"I'm Hayden." Hayden's hand pressed tightly against the door, as if ready to close it at any time. "I became a first-level apprentice much earlier than you. What are you doing here?"

"I want to ask Senior Hayden, did you feel anything was wrong when you were handling the body just now?"

Hayden shifted his feet uncomfortably. "Ah, that, I did find it a little strange. But I couldn't see what was wrong with it, nor could I see where it had any value, so I just threw it to you. Ha, I think you handled it pretty well."

Thor stared at Hayden until he avoided his gaze and muttered, "Well, I might be wrong."

Thor's grin was stiff, "I'll have to trouble you more in the future, Senior."

After saying goodbye to Hayden, he turned and continued walking towards the first morgue.

Hayden saw Thor walking away and quickly closed the door.

As soon as the door closed, his expression changed and he said in a low and fierce voice: "Why are you so scared of a new apprentice?"

Hayden's expression changed again, and he rubbed his hands nervously, "Well, no, there's no need to have a conflict. We'll still have time to get along in the future."

On the other side, Thor placed the boning knife in the shadow of the corridor.

The knife was used to deal with Hayden, but you can't do that to senior Byron.

He rubbed his face, and his gloomy face became polite again.

“Boom boom boom.”

The same scarlet door slowly opened, and the light from the house poured out. A woman who was only half a head taller than Thor stood at the door.

Thor was stunned.

"I'm here to see Senior Byron. May I ask who you are?"

The woman half-closed her eyes and spoke in a flat voice, "Byron has reached the age to leave the tower, so he went back to pack his things."

"Leave the tower?" Thor suddenly forgot his original purpose and asked in astonishment, "Do we have to leave the tower when we reach a certain age?"
