Chapter 314: Memory of the Corpse
Thor held the puppet tightly in his hand, and now its red crystal eyes had turned completely black.
It felt that there was some other mental force influencing it!
Thor immediately looked around.
"There can't be anyone else here. And it only took a few minutes from the time I got the puppet to the time its eyes turned black." His expression became more serious. "The change occurred in these few minutes."
His eyes swept across the laboratory table, the candlelight, and the group of corpses, and finally... fell on Nick in front of him.
"Agu, have you been staring at the puppet?"
Agu: [Sorry, Master. I just happened to notice some abnormal mental fluctuations in you when I was observing Nick's body. They are different from your previous fluctuations.]
"When I was testing other corpses just now, you were also observing carefully, right?"
Agu: [Yes, Master.]
"Then it is basically certain that it was Nick who caused the puppet to change." Thor retracted his gaze and stared at Nick's body in front of him.
Nick died because of a failed promotion, so his body was not seriously damaged. And when he was treated, there were obviously few materials available, so his appearance did not change much.
Thor let the diary release the mark of the Soul-Lost Flower, and the already extremely faint mark began to flash at a certain frequency.
"It turns out that the maintainer can be a dead person." Thor did not move away from the signal source immediately. Instead, he moved closer. "If I didn't have many ways to discover the mental force exerted on me, who would guard against a corpse standing in the warehouse?"
"Someone must have tampered with Nick's body. They used the maintenance method as a signal transmitter and fixed it inside the body. The other party knew that the corpses in the morgue would not be dissected a second time. Of course, this is no secret to wizards above the third-level apprentice."
Thor originally thought that after he found the maintainer of the mark, he would be able to discover the enemy's traces. However, he did not expect that the other party had an intermediary agent, and the real manipulator was still hiding behind the scenes.
Morton: [Master, I suggest you don't move this corpse, otherwise it might be noticed by the person manipulating the corpse.]
Thor nodded. "But if the mark they placed on me is something that will manifest itself in the near future, then my unaffected performance will also be exposed."
Agu: [In this case, we'd better figure out the information contained in this mark. ]
Thor sat on the edge of the sarcophagus, looking at Nick's body. "Since the ability to maintain is given to a corpse, considering that the corpse cannot adapt to changes and is affected by the external abnormal force field, the signal it releases should not be very complicated. Maybe we can try to figure it out."
Thor immediately asked several consciousnesses to be on high alert. He wanted to try to charge the mark to amplify its signal feedback and thus capture abnormal mental fluctuations.
Xiaozao hurriedly handed him paper and pen, as well as some instruments for testing his mental power.
Naturally, conscious entities cannot use instruments, paper, or pens, and can only memorize and analyze on their own.
Next, Thor carefully transferred the mark from the side of the diary to the tentacle, and then moved the spiritual tentacle closer to Nick's body.
As the mark got closer, the fluctuations of Thor's mental power, which were different from his own, gradually became obvious.
Thor ignored the others and tried to summarize the rules. But mental fluctuations were not a language after all. To Thor, it felt more like a code.
Without the code book, it is very difficult to crack it.
He could only start with the emotions contained in the mental fluctuations. After all, mental fluctuations were not just cold and emotionless codes.
But the same emotion may also mean different information, just like if you only look at the picture without reading the text, your understanding of the content may be very different.
"Wait! Picture?" Thor was thinking wildly and actually thought of a straightforward way of analysis.
He put down the pen and paper in his hand, bent down and looked carefully at Nick's body.
"According to records, Nick died after I left the wizard tower, but the body was just delivered, less than two days ago. Many people may have come into contact with Nick before that. For example, Mentor Kaz who was in charge of the autopsy, his assistant, the person who transported the body, and even Ku Jin who took over the warehouse work. If Nick's body maintained its activity during this period, just like the zombies, does it also have the ability to automatically replay the scene like the zombies?"
But after all, some time has passed, and Thor is not sure whether this body can still "remember" such a long-ago scene.
But that didn't stop him from trying it once.
Thor made a decision and immediately paid attention to the diary in his spiritual body.
"Very good, Diary Brother has no objection."
Thor sat directly on the ground, ignoring the surprise of several consciousnesses, and activated his mental power, imitating his meditation erosion diagram and walking counterclockwise.
Soon, he felt his body lighten, and when he looked down, he saw that he had walked out of his body.
This time, his soul left his body even more easily than any other time before. His body, after being remodeled for the second time, was like an intelligent system, and it took the initiative to help him escape from his body.
Thor raised his hands in front of his eyes to confirm that his spirit body was still the same as in his previous life. His thoughts flowed through his mind, and his translucent body quickly transformed, and he became Thor again.
He stood up and floated above Nick's body, feeling the faint attraction coming from below. He did not resist the force and let it go naturally, and entered Nick's body.
boom--
It was as if I had suddenly teleported thousands of meters, and the scene in front of me was changing rapidly. Points turned into lines, and lines turned into distorted pictures.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Everything has lost its original appearance.
Thor did not panic. He tried hard to distinguish the distorted image in front of him due to accelerated motion, and tried to find meaningful people and things in this abstract interpretation.
Finally, Thor looked at a place where he felt some of the features were very familiar.
There's even a sense of intimacy.
“That’s where I was exposed to for a long time!”
Thor and Nick's lives did not overlap much, and among the places Nick had visited before and after his death, there were even fewer that he felt familiar with.
This is undoubtedly a breakthrough!
Thor concentrated his mind on the familiar picture, but because the picture was twisting and spinning rapidly, it was very difficult to find the true answer from the familiar features.
“The picture is distorted because it is moving very fast for me. To see the picture clearly, I need to remain relatively still with it.”
Simply put, it is very difficult to observe the scene inside a fast-moving carriage while standing on a train platform, but if you go up to the train station, it is easy to observe inside the carriage.
Thor narrowed his eyes and shook his spirit body again. His sight quickly spun along that image.
Because he was actively accelerating the rotation, Thor's mental strength was greatly burdened. If the diary had not become his positioning device, supporting him to maintain his consciousness, Thor would probably not have been able to make such an attempt.
Finally, Thor saw the scene clearly.
He saw a ceiling engraved with runes above his head, operating tables with various props placed on his side, and a conveyor belt covered with black leather beneath him.
What he saw was not confined to the eyes of the corpse.
This was the feedback given to the body by the environment the corpse was in at the time, and it was also fed back to Thor's mind. In addition, he was very familiar with this place, and the complementary memories finally formed a clear picture.
This is the third corpse room! Today's extra update!
