Chapter 156 What are you looking for?
"Teacher, if I choose an exit, will it be connected with you?"
"Any mentor is possible. The projects that Mentor Tari is researching are all related to death in some way." Mentor Kaz hinted.
If it were in the past, Thor might not have thought too much about it.
But since he knew that the tower main wanted to resurrect Mrs. Euler, he immediately wondered whether these research projects were all related to the resurrection of Mrs. Euler?
If this is true, then Lord Gorsata is unexpectedly an infatuated person!
I always feel that his appearance and personality don't match well.
"Mentor, I want to choose a job related to export." Thor didn't let Kaz wait too long and made his own choice.
"You are as brave as ever." A strange smile appeared on Kaz's gloomy expression, and it was unknown whether he was satisfied with Thor's choice.
He turned to face the corridor to the right and raised his voice, "Kujin!"
After waiting for about ten seconds, the door to the right corridor slowly opened and a tall man walked out.
He looked nearly two meters tall, and Thor was now a tiny thing in front of him. The name tag on his chest clearly stated that he was a third-level apprentice.
"When will I grow taller?" As Kujin approached, Thor raised his neck little by little until it reached an awkward angle.
In front of Kaz, Kujin tried to calm himself down, but the drooping corners of his mouth still revealed his reluctance.
"Teacher Kaz."
"Now you get ready and hand over your work to Thor." Kaz didn't explain or introduce himself, nor did he give Kujin a chance to fight for it. He directly announced the final result.
Kujin looked at Thor and noticed the brand new name tag on his chest. His cheeks puffed up and then shrank back, puffed up and then shrank back.
He still couldn't help but said, "Teacher Kaz, if you let a newcomer take over the job, what if he messes up..."
"That's his business." Kaz waved his hand. He was always impatient about this.
No matter how many complaints Ku Jin had, he had to swallow them back.
If Ku Jin standing here was just a second-level apprentice, he would definitely not dare to say a word.
"Yes." Kujin lowered his head and turned to Thor, "Come here."
Thor followed Kujin and took two steps, but found that Mentor Kaz did not catch up.
He turned around to look at Teacher Kaz, only to find that he was looking at him with a complicated expression.
Seeing Thor turning back, the emotions on Kaz's face were hidden under the wrinkles, "Go ahead, why do you still want me to send you off?"
Thor stopped and bowed to Kaz, "Teacher, take care."
Kaz snorted, put his hands behind his back and walked away quickly.
When Thor turned around again, he saw Ku Jin almost reaching the door, so he quickly took two quick steps to catch up with him.
“There are hundreds of materials here, but this one is the most common,” Ku Jin said, pushing open the heavy door.
Behind the door is an extremely bright world.
There were so many candlesticks here that Thor was dazzled when he first looked at them.
When he got used to the brightness inside, he saw that there were many people standing inside the door.
His heart skipped a beat and he immediately held his breath, followed Ku Jin and walked in slowly.
Behind this third door, there were hundreds of people standing in a neat row.
People line up neatly, one meter apart from each other, with legs together and hands hanging naturally.
It's like standing at attention.
But they all had their eyes closed and the skin on their faces was as pale as paper.
Looking closely, no one's chest was still rising or falling.
These are all dead people!
"Are you scared?" Kujin stared at Thor's reaction, as if he wanted to laugh at him.
But apart from his expression becoming a little more serious, Thor did not lose his composure.
"Fortunately, I worked in the morgue on the second floor before, and I have seen many strange-looking corpses."
"Heh," Ku Jin raised his lips in disdain, "What you have seen can only be called corpses. The people in front of you now were at least second-level apprentices when they were alive."
"At least a Level 2 apprentice?" Thor was a little surprised. "Are there many Level 3 apprentices here?"
"The most powerful ones here are the official wizards," Kujin said, enjoying Thor's wide eyes and slightly open mouth.
But Thor quickly calmed down and asked, "There must be a lot of requirements and taboos in managing these corpses, right?"
"There are only two taboos here."
"One, keep at least 81 candlesticks lit in the room."
"Second, materials marked with serial numbers are not allowed to be touched or moved."
The fewer taboos there are, the more they cannot be violated.
"There are a lot of rules. They are all written down in the manual over there. You can just take a look at them later."
Thor memorized the two taboos firmly in his mind, but still had a doubt, "Senior Kujin, are the two taboos also written in the book?"
"...Yes, on the first page. You don't have to worry that I will lie to you." Ku Jin stepped forward. "If you break the taboo, you will be the only one who will die. But if I deliberately fail to fulfill my duties during the handover, I can't escape either."
Ku Jin was tall and when he passed by a corpse, his arm rubbed against it, causing the corpse to be slightly crooked.
He stopped immediately and straightened the body.
Thor took note of this and thought about looking for this item in the manual later.
Passing through this group of dead bodies, we came to the tall cabinets commonly seen in warehouses. Many storage equipment were displayed on the cabinets.
Bottles and cans, box pockets, metal racks, flowing water and soil, etc.
Thor followed Ku Jin and walked into the passage in the middle of the cabinet.
There is a wide space at the end of the cabinet away from the wall, which should be where Ku Jin usually studies and researches.
At a glance, Thor saw a five-meter-long table and cabinets nailed to the wall and the ground.
The long table was very clean, and it was obvious that it had been cleaned up. I didn't know if it was due to Ku Jin's personality or if it was just a last-minute cleanup.
If it is the latter, it means that before Saul came, Kujin already knew that his job might be replaced by a newcomer.
Thor thought to himself: "Maybe, this job was actually assigned to me by the tower master?"
After all, Gorza was the first person in the Wizard Tower to know that Thor had been promoted and was about to return to the tower.
Moreover, Thor has always suspected for the past two years that the tower master's behind-the-scenes arrangement gave him the opportunity to work in the morgue.
I hope that what the Tower Master values is really only his spiritual talent.
Kujin took out the rule book and handed Thor three quills.
The quill was so large that its overall length was even longer than Thor's arm.
"This is a communication pen. Once the instructor needs something, this pen will write down the request on paper. Although the instructor will usually issue the request after 3pm, if he is in a hurry, it is possible that he will ask you to get up in the middle of the night to prepare something. You can put one in the dormitory as a backup, or you can choose to live here."
"Live here?" Thor was stunned. "Aren't we required to leave the East Tower before 8pm?"
Kujin moved his belongings to the trailer next to the table. "This is one of the most dangerous places in the East Tower, but it is also the safest place."
Since everything had been neatly packed, Ku Jin moved all his belongings in no time.
He pushed the cart and looked at Thor sideways, condescendingly, "As long as you don't break any taboos."
After saying that, he pushed the cart away.
The hourglass clock was behind Thor. He looked back and found that it was just past nine in the morning.
Thor picked up the manual and flipped through it. "Second Warehouse Rules?"
There are more than a dozen pages filled with words, but the last dozen pages are blank, as if waiting for someone to add new rules at any time.
The two taboos mentioned by Ku Jin were clearly written on the first page of the manual.
Apart from these two taboos, there is nothing else recorded on the first page.
Thor read it from beginning to end and checked the entire book, but found no erasures or modifications, and no magical fluctuations left.
Only then did he put the book back on the table.
"It's still a long time before three o'clock in the afternoon." Thor's bony fingers tapped back and forth on the table, making a crisp sound. "Let's check the body and soul again and let more professional people find out where the black shadow is hiding."
Although Byron and Nick did not find any other souls in Thor's body after examination, his experience last night made Thor certain that there was a ghost hiding beside him.
This time, he planned to go to the physician apprentice in the wizard tower who was responsible for checking the physical and mental health of apprentices.
It just takes a lot of credits.
But spending credits is better than having an unknown spirit hiding around you all the time.
Just as Thor took a step forward, he heard a voice beside him.
"What are you looking for? Me?"
A dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of Thor, blocking his way.
Thor looked up and met a pair of charming red eyes.
