Chapter 344: Pollution and Lines
"So beautiful! Brother Thor... slurp slurp... It looks so delicious!"
The Nightmare Butterfly flew back to Thor the moment "Galaxy" appeared, and a slightly hoarse and lingering sound appeared in its usually cute and sweet voice.
Saul was a little strange.
Don’t nightmare butterflies feed on dreams?
After raising a nightmare butterfly, Thor began to study Heywood's research notes on nightmare butterflies.
The other party is worthy of being the most accomplished apprentice of Master Gorza. In Penny's opinion, many of the habits of nightmare butterflies he summarized are correct.
One of the points is that the main diet of the Nightmare Butterfly is not the soul as Thor originally guessed.
It feeds on dreams and especially loves memories.
The more intense the emotional fluctuations in dreams and memories, the more they will help the Nightmare Butterfly accumulate strength.
Therefore, people who have encountered nightmare butterflies often do not have a good ending.
The more tragic the experience, the deeper the fear, the more the nightmare butterfly can grow.
From this perspective, Penny was destined to be a villain since she was born. If it weren't for the need to avoid Kismet's pursuit, she probably wouldn't have been able to stay peacefully in a small town for many years.
"Penny has never left my side since being caught by the diary. Has she eaten during this time?"
Now thinking back to Penny's voice just now... Was she starving? Thor brushed the wings of the silver butterfly and decided to go back and ask her again, then continued to approach the star-like soul fragment.
He still didn't understand why the soul fragments here glowed. This also made him more curious about what might exist on the seabed.
Behind the starlight is an illuminated arched structure.
With the help of the light, Thor saw the huge keel and the inverted bottom of the ship.
This must be the shipwreck that Byron mentioned.
Continuing to approach, he passed by "Starlight".
Thor had no romantic heart at all. He opened his hands, which instantly turned into huge transparent tentacles with suction cups.
He is embracing the galaxy.
Or swallowing the galaxy.
The white light that could easily pass through solid objects was swallowed up the moment it touched the tentacles.
The suction cups turned into sharp mouths with greedy tongues, sucking and devouring all the soul fragments it could touch.
No one had ever dared to absorb soul fragments so abruptly. Even the crazy Byron could only carefully analyze these strange soul fragments when he encountered them, and did not dare to try to absorb them directly.
Unpurified soul fragments contain some memories of the original owner's life and death.
It is broken and rare, but like a cancer attached to the bone, it is difficult to remove. Unless resources are spent on decontamination and purification for certain experiments, clean and usable fragments can be obtained.
This is also the reason why there are so many soul fragments accumulated in the candle pipes of the wizard tower.
Just like a mountain of garbage, although it can be recycled, it is often costly and labor-intensive.
The effort and reward do not match.
But Thor is different. With the ability to purify diaries, he accepts everything like a giant whale swallowing plankton.
The moment those white soul fragments were swallowed by Thor's tentacles, they turned into huge energy and filled his body.
Along with it came the numerous impurities contained in the soul fragments.
However, these impurities were not absorbed by the diary as cleanly as before.
Before Thor realized what was happening, he was knocked to the ground by a powerful impact.
He felt as if his skull had been opened, and piles of broken images were falling out.
Countless fragmented images are accompanied by harsh sounds.
There is despair, sadness, pain, anger, fear...
To make matters more confusing, the graphics and additional sounds are often not original either. It's like playing a gunfight score while watching a horror movie.
Emphasize the word "chaos"!
This feeling makes people dizzy.
Thor almost instantly forgot where he was, what he was about to do, what he was thinking about, and what he was expecting next...
After the initial confusion, there was great fear, but the fear was gone in a flash.
What ends everything is the overwhelming sense of loneliness that makes your whole body tremble.
Lonely and dead silent.
It was even lonelier than when Sol just flew over the sea. The sea and the sky were eroding each other, leaving only the vast black, white and gray surroundings.
Thor's sinking movement came to a complete stop.
After absorbing many glowing soul fragments, the transparent tentacles also began to emit light.
But the spiritual armor around him, which was originally trembling due to the water pressure, suddenly became solid.
However, the abundance of energy is accompanied by a crisis of consciousness.
Thor was in the circle of light and vaguely felt that those glowing soul fragments were actually starting to actively drill into him, further aggravating the confusion in his mind.
Thus, pictures followed one another, sounds cut off one another, and Thor's outer body seemed to have turned into a stone statue, unable to move; yet his inner consciousness was undergoing tremendous shock.
The chaotic feeling brought to him by absorbing a large amount of soul fragments this time was even more terrifying than his first suicidal experiment in witch body transformation.
But as the pain became more and more intense, Thor gradually came to his senses.
He felt that he should feel pain in such chaos, but his brain unexpectedly blocked out negative interference.
His eyeballs suddenly turned white, and the outside world immediately disappeared from his consciousness.
Now he could only see the impurities brought by the soul fragments in his mind.
The impact of the chaotic sound and picture becomes even stronger!
Every second feels like a year.
However, Thor, who was conscious, gradually saw a thread among these fragmented sounds and images.
A thread that runs throughout.
This line ties all the pieces together.
Somehow, Thor felt that as long as he found the end of the line and lifted it gently, he would find that everything was in order, and the chaos was only due to the lack of breadth of cognition.
The sounds, images, or experiences of the deceased are arranged in a set order.
As long as Thor shakes the line, he can make the things connected by the line behave according to his ideas.
Now, in the chaotic picture before Thor's eyes, one line became increasingly clear.
Thor reached out his hand—in his mind he reached out his hand—trying to touch the thin line hidden in so many consciousnesses.
He felt like he was about to touch that line.
But when his fingertips were only one millimeter away from the thin line, all the images, sounds, and the thin line that was so close to him disappeared in an instant.
Thor came to his senses and found himself still in the deep sea.
He was standing on the bottom of the sunken ship with one hand stretched forward.
And around him, there were still fragments of souls floating around like fireflies.
"Brother Sol! Brother Sol! What's wrong with you?"
The silver butterfly flew in front of Thor, with a little worry in its voice.
The algae that turned into a thruster also stretched its head in front of Thor and used its shark-like teeth to gently bite Thor's arm.
It was also trying to wake Thor.
Thor came to his senses and before he could comfort the two little pets, he felt like his lungs were about to explode!
The huge feeling of suffocation accompanied by the fear of dying instantly occupied the main working area of his brain.
Must float immediately!
A wizard's apprentice's body can hold its breath for a long time, but that doesn't mean they don't have to breathe.
In fact, they consume a lot of energy and actually need more air.
Because of the accident, Thor has now reached the critical point of suffocation that his body can withstand.
Must float immediately!
He thought again.
However, just as he was about to step on the sunken ship to float to the surface, he felt a strange wave of magical power coming from under his feet.
Thor glanced down.
With just one glance, he spotted a few gray stones in the cracks between the rotten wooden boards.
Although the gray stone looked no different from other stones on the seabed, Thor, who had extremely sharp mental power, was able to quickly distinguish that the magic fluctuations he had just felt were emanating from these small stones.
Thor pointed to a crack in the wood.
The Nightmare Butterfly was still confused, but Xiao Zao had already rushed over.
The worry about Thor just now turned into a huge biting force. With a grunt, it swallowed several gray stones and the surrounding rotten wood into its mouth.
Then, without waiting for Thor's instructions, Xiaozao once again transformed into a thruster and sent Thor out of the seabed.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
Although he floated up as quickly as his body could bear, Thor still couldn't hold on to the end.
He choked on several mouthfuls of the bitter and fishy sea water, and felt a burning pain in his nose and throat.
At this moment, a white light hit Thor, which was a level 0 witchcraft that healed minor injuries.
As Thor paddled, he looked up and saw senior Byron standing on the reef, frowning and looking at him with concern.
"Pfft." He wiped the seawater off his face with his hand and smiled awkwardly, "I was careless just now and almost got into trouble."
Third update! Please give me some monthly tickets.
Whisper: Who threatened me with the monthly ticket?
