Chapter 203 Half a Page
Thor used the method provided by Morton to force open the basement door for the second time.
The witchcraft array covering the gate immediately produced a wave of magical power. This wave went from weak to strong, then from strong to weak, and finally the array completely failed.
The magic circle that had accompanied Ralph Manor for decades became history along with its original owner.
Thor stretched out his hand and with a little force he opened the door completely.
A stream of yellow and white smoke came out from the door.
Thor waved his hand and wanted to wait for the smoke to clear before going in, but he found obvious cracks on the wall of the basement.
After the witchcraft protection loses its effectiveness, this devastated basement will also meet its end.
The smoke is not very toxic, but it smells very oily and makes people not want to eat for three days.
Thor jumped directly to the ground through the entrance and stepped on something sticky.
The stairs formed by the girl's arms on one side of the wall had disappeared. It seemed that the dying human-faced worm did not give up any opportunity to replenish its energy and ate those decorations as food reserves.
"Ugh!" The temperature in the room was even heavier than the temperature at the door. He covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves and chose a clean place to step over.
Coming to the pre-arranged magic circle that could extract vengeful spirits, Thor narrowed his eyes and looked at Ralph, who finally fell here, looking like a worm.
He could still vaguely see Ralph's distorted face from the pool of yellow grease in the magic circle.
The arm that had previously grown on his body was nowhere to be seen.
Thor used his mental power to check it, and found that there was no mental fluctuation or magical fluctuation in the pool of grease.
I can't feel the breath of life.
"Is he finally dead? He was hit by a fire bead and sprayed with a targeted antidote, but he could still hold on for so long. No wonder the diary said that I would have no chance of survival against a giant bug."
He squatted down and placed a magic crystal on the edge of the magic circle.
In an instant, as if injected with a soul, the entire magic circle began to move, and a circle of white flames rose.
The flame burned on the ground, and gradually filled the entire magic circle like a stream of water, and gradually covered the entire piece of grease.
But as the white flames continued to burn, Thor, who was standing aside, frowned more and more.
Apart from burning, there was no other reaction in the magic circle.
“Isn’t this… too clean?”
Ralph's soul was not seen, and even the souls of ordinary people devoured by Ralph did not appear.
If Ralph's ghost could not be created, it could be said that the other party's mental power was too strong and this small magic circle was not powerful enough. But how come even the spirits of the mercenaries could not be seen?
The white flame never caught its prey, and after the magic crystal's energy was exhausted, it began to die out little by little.
Finally, the entire magic circle gradually dimmed under Thor's helpless gaze.
"Huh... Although I've prepared myself mentally, I'm still a little disappointed that there's really nothing."
Thor let out a breath and decided to just consider this time his work was in vain. It was common for experiments to fail anyway.
However, just as Thor turned around and was about to leave before the basement collapsed completely, suddenly a black light flew out from a collapsed shelf and flew straight into the diary on Thor's left shoulder.
"What?" Thor was surprised.
He set up a large magic circle and consumed a lot of magic crystals, but there was no response at all. In the end, he was about to give up, but accidentally captured a soul consciousness on the shelf outside the magic circle.
The diary knew what Thor was thinking and flew to him and spread it out.
However, the black page that appeared this time was incomplete, or in other words, it was only half the size of a sheet of paper.
"The edges of the black pages in the past were uneven and looked much rougher than the white pages. I didn't expect that I would get half a page this time. Will there be a quarter page in the future? Play Pinxixi?"
Thor grumbled speechlessly.
The timing was not right, so he did not ask questions right away. Seeing the dust starting to fall from above his head, he knew it was time to leave.
However, the accident happened again.
Just as Thor ran to the bottom of the basement door, a strange voice suddenly appeared above the extremely quiet magic circle behind him.
Thor subconsciously looked back and saw a huge and strange spirit body floating above the magic circle.
The spirit was like a huge foam made up of many small bubbles, being rubbed by a pair of invisible big hands, and kept squirming.
It makes the sound of foam being squeezed and deformed.
A mutilated spirit emerged from the surface of the foam, revealing a face with missing facial features.
He had a horrified expression and opened his mouth to say to Thor, but before he could say anything he was pulled back by an irresistible force.
And Thor could clearly see him being swallowed and squeezed by the foam in terror.
It turned into the same tiny bubbles.
"What is this? Could it be that Ralph's soul has been polluted and alienated?"
If the soul before his eyes was indeed Ralph's, then Thor would have to give up the idea of recording it in his diary.
After all, a soul like this has been completely polluted no matter how you look at it, and there is no rationality at all.
"Diary, can I try to take action against this strange spirit?"
Diary: Go to hell.
"Okay." Thor gave up decisively.
He looked up at the exit three meters away from him, wanting Xiaozao to carry him out.
But as soon as Xiaozao flew out, the polluted spirit behind Thor, which had been relatively stable, suddenly began to tremble violently, like boiling water about to boil.
Countless wailing and cries for help instantly penetrated Thor's ears, and then desperately squeezed into his brain.
As if he was punched by an invisible hand, Thor fell backwards uncontrollably.
At the same time, the wailing in his head changed again, and it became as if thousands or tens of thousands of people were talking to him at the same time.
Buzz buzz buzz...
Buzz buzz buzz...
Some of those words were rational, some were crazy, and some were sad... Thor couldn't hear the specific content of what they were saying, but he could feel everyone's emotions from these voices.
Yes, everyone.
“Buzz——”
There was a violent tremor, and the necklace on Thor's chest that pierced his skin also began to vibrate at a high frequency.
It was as if someone was knocking desperately on the door inside Thor's body, trying to break the "lock" that locked the door! "Ka--"
The puppet cracked directly from the top of its head, revealing the small flame sealed inside.
The people in Thor's mind suddenly became much quieter. Most of them shut their mouths, and only a few were still chattering.
He knew that this was the opportunity that the temporary positioning device helped him to get, so he ran out without looking back.
The small algae was thrown out like a flying hook, nailed to the wall outside, and turned directly into a rope to pull Thor out of the basement.
As soon as Thor landed, he felt the ground beneath his feet constantly breaking apart with the entrance as the center.
He immediately ran away.
The diary did not indicate that Thor would die if he stayed where he was, but Thor did not want to take the risk of staying here.
The stairwell was in a terrible state, with all the steps leading up to the upper floors broken and crumbling into a small hill.
Xiaozao stepped forward and wrapped around the handrail on the second floor.
As Thor was being carried up to the second floor, he quickly glanced at the remains on the ground.
The stairs where Victor was standing turned into a big pit. No blood or body parts were seen, so it was impossible to tell whether he was dead or alive.
At the same time, Kron's body, which was originally lying on the ground, and Swan, who had only the upper half of his body left, also disappeared. It was unknown whether they were eaten by Ralph.
With the help of Xiaozao, Thor climbed walls and climbed roofs, racing against time, and finally jumped to the second floor before the ground on the first floor began to sink.
boom--
There was a loud noise behind him, and Thor lost his balance and almost fell down.
With that loud bang, the tiny sounds in Thor's ears became stronger again, and the doll on his chest had several more cracks, and the flame in the doll's brain began to dim.
He clutched the doll tightly to his chest and ran down the porch with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Xiaozao rushed forward and quickly smashed the window of the balcony in front. Thor lowered his head and dived into the wind and rain.
The cold rain hit Thor's face and body. More and more cracks appeared behind him, spreading onto the balcony, and the ground in the distance began to collapse.
At the last moment, Thor put one foot on the balcony railing and jumped out!
Boom! Another loud noise.
The castle behind Thor seemed much shorter.
The huge impact force caused by the collapse brought a strong air wave across Thor's back, and countless stones hit Thor.
With nowhere to gain support in the sky, Xiaozao kept waving his tentacles in the air and finally hooked a branch before Thor landed.
Thor adjusted his posture in the air and managed to land on his feet. With the help of Xiaozao's upward force at the critical moment, Thor finally landed without any injury.
He rolled forward to relieve the impact.
However, a crisp sound suddenly broke through all the noise and went straight into Thor's heart.
He seemed to realize something and lowered his head, just in time to see the little doll tied with a black rope had its body shattered into pieces, with the fragments rolling down his skin and some falling outside his collar.
Only a wooden thorn remained stuck in Thor's skin.
Sorry for being late. I've been working overtime these past two days. The second chapter may be out in the evening.
