Chapter 222 Winning

Chapter 222 Winning

Thor didn't care about Heidi's whereabouts. He narrowed his eyes but kept smiling. "So, senior, when I was being chased by the noodle arm, were you watching?"

He didn't blame Haywood for not helping him, but if Haywood just stood by and watched, he could certainly do that.

The action of force is mutual, and so are the relationships between people.

Unexpectedly, Heywood admitted it very frankly.

"Yes, after all, I dare not move even if the bronze door is open."

Thor: ...That makes sense.

At this point, Thor already knew what Haywood wanted to do with him.

Heywood didn't hesitate any longer. "I want you to go into the mezzanine again and get Heidi out."

Thor raised his eyebrows, "Save someone who wants to kill me?"

Thor is not so idle.

"Before you resolve the incompatibility issue between your soul and body, I can help you resolve the issue of your soul always leaving your body in the short term."

This is the beginning of the conditions? A sustainable temporary locator?

“Nice condition, but not necessary.”

Thor already knew the horror of the mezzanine. Especially the area between the warehouse and the basement filled with eyes was probably the most dangerous. He was almost burnt when he entered.

Those eyes and the wax in the pipes are not even on the same level of weirdness.

The diary can testify to this.

Heywood was not surprised by Thor's refusal. He then put forward a condition that made Thor very tempted.

"Plus...what about the information about your silver eyes?"

Silver eyes?

It took Thor a while to realize that Heywood was referring to the cocoon of the nightmare butterfly!

The silver cocoon that he dug out from his eye socket, carefully sealed, and has not dared to start studying until now.

"How much do you know?" Thor immediately became serious.

He doesn't want to go through all the trouble and end up with a bunch of error messages.

"Dream, nightmare, butterfly." Heywood said word by word.

That's right! No matter from which perspective, the Nightmare Butterfly is a dangerous, powerful and mysterious existence.

Heywood is betting on whether Thor's curiosity is suitable for a wizard's apprentice.

"The conditions are indeed acceptable." Thor had to admit that he could not resist this knowledge after having seen the power of the Nightmare Butterfly. "But senior, is there no way for you to save Heidi? After all, she is your sister."

Heywood's expression froze, and the temperature around him suddenly dropped by two degrees.

"I am not good at soul-related witchcraft, and my physique does not allow the soul to leave the body."

Thor was a little surprised. Wasn't the main research of the tower master about the soul? As the tower master's apprentice, Heywood didn't study this? Heywood said, "The mentor wanted to complete his experiment by creating a qualified body carrier. But in the end, he found that the body alone was meaningless. Almost all the problems in the experiment were concentrated on the soul."

Thor blinked, "You mean the experiment to resurrect Lady Euler?"

Heywood opened his mouth, hesitated, and finally said, "Almost. But since the instructor hasn't revealed the specific information to you, I can't speak without permission."

Thor rubbed his chin, thinking, "It's almost, but not quite a resurrection. Could it be that the Tower Master really just wanted to use Mrs. Euler's death to study his real experiment?"

Now Thor has too little information to speculate what the tower master is going to do specifically, but he feels that it is related to resurrection.

Seeing that the topic had strayed away, Heywood brought it back again: "As long as you are willing to help, I will give you another 100 credits as compensation, and I can also guarantee that Heidi will not cause trouble for you again because of the previous incident, and I will punish her severely."

"Haywood actually cares so much about his sister?" Thor's intuition was that it was not that simple. "The curse planted on him...could it be his locator?"

"Of course, if you really mind, I can only ask others for help...at a price I can afford."

Does Heywood mean to use the information about the Nightmare Butterfly as a reward and entrust other people to take action?

It seems that there will be no fourth bid.

"I can only give it a try. After all, it's too dangerous there, and I may not be able to find Heidi." Thor agreed.

If he refused, he would not only give up the Nightmare Butterfly and 100 credits, but would also offend the Tower Master's apprentice.

As a wizard, profit comes first, not shabby.

Haywood nodded slightly, smiled a little, and reached into his cloak to pull out a black bottle.

The opening of the bottle was very large, almost as wide as the bottle body, and was sealed with a black cloth.

The overall look is rough and old.

"This is where Heidi lived when she was a child. She is very familiar with this smell. When you leave your body later, I will open the bottle and you can smell the bottle's scent when you stretch out your hand. As long as Heidi is still conscious and can move, she will definitely come to find you."

"Okay, I'll try, but if Heidi attacks me again, I will definitely stop immediately."

Heywood smiled, "As long as you call her name, she will know that it was me who asked you to go."

Thor asked Haywood to wait for a moment. He returned to the second warehouse and sat at the experimental table. He was not in a hurry to try to leave his body.

Tonight's experience made him suddenly discover another talent of his. He had to figure it out before entering the mezzanine.

"Lord Morton, if a person's spirit can devour other spirits, what does that mean?"

The diary appears and opens.

[I don't know the specific principle, but I have seen such a person. He came from the Borderlands and was once one of my most difficult enemies. But he is also the craziest person, wandering on the edge of normality and alienation. He does have a way to become stronger by devouring other spirits. But how to deal with the evil thoughts in those spirits that affect his own will has become the biggest problem. Once he is lost in evil thoughts, he will instantly become a monster, the kind that is hopeless. ]

Seeing Morton's answer, Thor subconsciously touched his belly.

After his soul was pulled into the tube, he was confused and crazy for a while, so when he regained his reason and emotions, his brain automatically blurred his memory of that time.

He only remembered that he ate a lot of things that attacked him, but he couldn't remember how he fought back at that time.

Maybe once I remember it, I will be lost again.

"Strange, this time I definitely swallowed some of the weirdness similar to evil thoughts, but after recovering, I didn't feel the influence of the evil thoughts. My spirit body was strengthened because of this, and even had the ability to recover, but I didn't pay the corresponding price. Where did those evil thoughts go?"

This is unlikely.

This time Morton took the initiative to talk.

[Unless the one attacking you is actually pure energy, it is impossible to leave no consciousness. It may be hidden in your subconscious and has not been discovered yet. This is actually more dangerous, because you don’t even know if you are still yourself! Am I still myself? Am I? 】

After talking too much, Morton's consciousness began to become confused again. The experience of becoming an evil spirit still left an indelible impact on his soul.

The situation Morton describes is indeed worrying, but...

Thor closed his eyes and recalled his experiences, focusing on his identity in his previous life.

No issues were found.

"Is it really those evil thoughts lurking deep in my consciousness?"

Just as he was wondering, Thor suddenly saw that the diary had turned another page.

The next page was the midnight black paper he had once obtained at Ralph's manor.

Thor was stunned.

This half page of black paper had changed! It had grown from half the size of a book page to two-thirds the size of a book page.

But the surface of the paper became rougher, like sandpaper.

The edges of normal black pages are not neat either, but the surface is like kraft paper and does not look so rough.

"This? This? Could it be that all those regrets and evil thoughts were absorbed by the diary? And used to complete the black pages?"

Thinking of this, Thor opened his mouth in surprise, "Lord Morton, are there any props or witchcraft that can help people absorb the evil thoughts in their spirits?"

[Impossible! Impossible! That's impossible! I don't believe it!]

Morton seemed angry.

His drastic reaction actually surprised Thor.

"The diary can absorb these residual thoughts? That's right, the diary can even absorb complete consciousness, so there's no reason why it can't absorb defective ones! If that's the case, then can't I achieve a significant increase in my mental power by absorbing spirits without having to worry about the side effects?"

"Last time, we didn't absorb the diaries of the vengeful spirits of those girls. Maybe it's because the quality is not up to standard. We must have at least the apprentice level?"

In any case, this is a more exciting discovery than getting information about the nightmare butterfly.

As we all know, it is very difficult to improve the potential of mental power, so more people focus on improving magic power, which leads to many people believing that magic power is supreme.

As long as there is enough magic power, you can release powerful enough witchcraft, conduct more complex experiments, and even kill more enemies.

But if Thor can use this opportunity to continually improve his mental strength, he will be on a path that few wizards dare to tread.

Spiritual body transformation! The most important thing is that he doesn't have to worry about his magic power not being able to keep up with the speed of his spiritual body's improvement.

Because he still has a diary to help him transform his wizard body without any harm.

In short, he won this time!

Saul: I'm never very kind to myself.
