Chapter 154 Dead Flower
Saul had a dream.
When he opened his eyes, he suddenly turned over, stuck his head out of the bed, and retched a few times.
Because he hadn't eaten properly for a long time, he only vomited a little acid water.
Instead, my throat started to hurt.
He casually wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, forgetting that his hand had turned into bones.
Now my mouth and throat hurt.
He sat up in bed and was surprised to find that all the fatigue and headache from last night had disappeared.
"Is sleeping so effective? Was it wrong for me to always use meditation instead of sleeping?"
Thor got up energetically and took care of his personal hygiene.
“Think about what you’re going to do today?”
Should I go see Instructor Kaz first? Or should I go to the registration office to exchange for the second-level apprentice name tag? Or should I go to Senior Byron to share the reward for this mission.
Thor gained a lot from this trip, but also had more questions.
But things can only be done bit by bit.
Finally, he decided to go to Nick for a physical check-up first.
After all, there might be a spirit attached to him, so this matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for him to do many things.
However, when Thor went to the twelfth floor of the West Tower to find Nick, he found that there were several second-level apprentices surrounding the place.
Level 2 apprentices aren't as fond of joining in the fun as level 1 apprentices, so this is a very rare scene.
Thor couldn't help but walk over.
There weren't many onlookers, so even the short Thor found an opening easily.
When Thor saw the scene inside, he frowned slightly.
Someone is dead.
He is a servant, and his age should not be more than fifteen years old.
One of the legs, which was only a skeleton, stood firmly on the ground, while the other leg was twisted to an upward angle, and both hands were raised high and diagonally.
A flower bloomed on the head.
The petals are made of flesh and blood, and the stamens are made of bones.
Two arms and one leg are leaves, and one limb is left as a flower stem.
Thor pursed his lips with difficulty.
He felt a little sick.
It wasn't because of the strange appearance of the corpse - he had seen many more terrifying ones in the morgue.
But it was because he knew this body.
Last night, it was he who trimmed the young servant into this look bit by bit.
He also remembered how he chewed and swallowed the excess flesh and bones bit by bit.
"Thor." Someone suddenly called him.
Thor turned around and saw Nick, the person he was looking for.
At this time, Nick also saw the dead in the crowd, and his brows twitched slightly.
"Dead man's flower."
"What?"
"It's also called Bone Core, and it's a ritual used by an extinct species to commemorate the dead. I didn't expect it to appear in the wizard tower again."
At this time, someone nearby said, "This isn't the first time this has happened."
The man who was speaking crossed his arms over his chest, his face full of disgust.
"Sari? Are you recovered?" Nick obviously knew him.
"You're just trying to survive, how can you possibly die?" Sari said rudely.
But Nick was not angry and introduced Thor to him.
"Thor, the recently promoted Level 2."
Thor temporarily suppressed his nausea and nodded at Sari.
But Sari just glanced at Thor and didn't even bother to pretend.
"Are you saying that this kind of thing has happened before?" Thor didn't care about the other party's attitude. He was more curious about the dead flower.
Sari looked at him coldly and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Nick.
"You'd better be polite to Thor."
Sari looked at Nick in surprise, and when he saw that the other party didn't seem to be joking, he answered Thor awkwardly.
"This is the fourth incident in the past half month." His tone was already bad, and now it became even stiffer. "The manager has already issued a task to the second-level apprentices. Now it seems that in order to solve this matter, I am afraid that the third-level apprentices will need to take action."
As if feeling a little itchy, Sari raised his hand and scratched his cheek.
He used so much force that his sharp nails pierced his skin, and a few drops of blood oozed out of the wound and soaked into his nails.
But both Sarri himself and Nick looked accustomed to it.
"Are you satisfied?" Sari put down his hand and looked at Thor, this time with a little more inquiry in his eyes.
Saul didn't hesitate and continued to ask: "Who do you think did it?"
Perhaps Sol's attitude was too natural, and Sarri subconsciously answered: "Maybe it's some poor second-level player who has no hope of promotion."
After saying that, Sari turned around and left, without giving Thor a chance to continue asking questions.
Nick was watching the fun from the sidelines, enjoying it, and only then said to Saul, "Are you moving or are you coming to see me?"
"I want you to help me check if there are any spirits attached to my body."
Nick agreed immediately, "No problem, let's go to the lab."
Sitting on the induction chair in the laboratory again, Thor felt very complicated.
"It's just to check if there are any spirits. Don't turn up the power so high."
"no problem."
Nick was inserting the guide needle into Thor's body, but he stopped when he inserted the needle into his arm.
"Your hand is like this?"
Thor looked at his own pair of bony hands and realized that he really had no way of giving the needle.
"Let me solve my problem first."
Nick tried to insert the needle into the bone gap, but failed and threw the wires on the ground helplessly.
"Forget it, these few won't make a difference, so shall I start?"
Maybe after being warned, Nick didn't turn up the power so high, or maybe Thor was already 14 years old and had a stronger willpower than before.
Anyway, this time he was not so comfortable that he lost consciousness, and he even had time to recall his dream last night.
Last night in my dream, he walked in the snow and ice for a long time.
I finally found a small house with candlelight shining through the window.
It must be warm in here!
That's what Thor thought at the time.
Although he was cold and hungry, he restrained himself and knocked on the door in a polite rhythm.
There was someone in the room, he was sure, but they wouldn't let him in.
Saul was angry.
He thought that even if you were unwilling to share your food with him, it would be nice to let him go in to avoid the wind and snow.
How can people be so selfish?
So he knocked harder.
A chuckle came from the room, as if mocking him, a poor beggar.
Thor became even angrier.
He slammed the door, vowing to teach the person inside a lesson.
Finally, with his continuous efforts, the door lock loosened. He kicked the door open and what came into his sight was a table full of sumptuous meals.
Thor couldn't bear it any longer and pounced on him.
He no longer thought about revenge, he just wanted to eat all these delicacies.
But just after he took a bite, the tough and chewy piece of meat mixed with a strong smell of blood immediately awakened Thor's consciousness.
Finally I realized I was dreaming.
But in this dream, he was completely unable to control his actions. He couldn't even move his eyes or look around.
His eyes remained fixed on the bloody boy in front of him.
My stomach burned with hunger and my tongue cried out, Not enough! Not enough!
Just like that, Thor remained conscious and watched himself brutally kill the boy.
After enjoying the meal, he personally folded a fake flower and left it in the room as a token of gratitude for the host's hospitality.
“Fuck!”
Thor opened his eyes suddenly, the feeling of nausea completely overwhelmed the comfort.
Nick on the other side put down the control panel in a daze, "Why do you look so bad? Did I get the parameters wrong?"
Thor took a deep breath and pulled himself away from the memories.
"No," Thor didn't want to answer this question, "Have you checked if there are any spirits in me?"
Nick could feel Thor's angry mood, but since the other party didn't want to talk about it, he didn't mention it.
"No, except for the little guy behind your neck, there are no other emotions. If you feel that you are being haunted by a spirit, it is probably just some regrets and will disappear in a couple of days."
Nick came over and helped Thor untie himself.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome." Nick hesitated and asked the question he had been holding back all night, "Is the tower master really yours..."
"Don't talk about this."
"I see." Nick immediately suppressed his curiosity, but he still reminded Thor, "It's just that I wasn't the only one on the ship that day. This matter is likely to be spread out."
Thor shook his wrist. The electric shock just now activated the anti-electric field engraved on his bones, and now the bone joints felt a little sore.
"It's okay," he said.
Anyway, it was the tower master who took the initiative to make it clear in front of everyone, so Thor didn't care whether the secret would be leaked or not.
Suddenly, a black tentacle as thick as an arm stretched out from behind Thor's neck and fell to the ground.
A shark's mouth opened at the tip of the tentacle, and a black tongue stretched out from it, also lying on the ground.
His mouth was still breathing heavily.
Nick: "It...has a long reaction time."
Thor: “…”
I'm visiting relatives today, maybe... I set off firecrackers last night, and the New Year atmosphere is getting stronger.
