Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 1013

Chapter 998 Give Him a Wrong Answer

Brainstorming is indeed useful. Thor immediately came up with an idea to fight against the abyss.

The red worms and the army of bones are both defensive means. They will fight against the anchor points and other monsters and pollution that emerge from the abyss.

But after speculating on the way the sixth-order is resurrected, Thor and his team have a direction to solve the root cause.

As for whether they can think of a definite solution after having a direction, they can only rely on them to continue exploring.

Unlike Thor’s excitement, the others seemed a little silent.

Char: [But how difficult is it to destroy a sixth-order’s cognition of the essence? We don’t even know what his cognition is, so how can we talk about destroying it?]

Gorza, after a brief silence, more or less understood Thor’s intention.

Gorza: [It is indeed difficult. But we are not going to destroy a sixth-order’s cognition, but to prevent him from resurrecting. His cognition of the essence should have been destroyed, which is why he has fallen to this point today.]

Floco also became excited.

Floco: [That’s right! So what we have to do is not to destroy, but to prevent him from rebuilding his cognition of the world. He is now constantly devouring the wizard world, probably because he wants to use the digestion of the wizard world to rebuild his understanding of the essence. 】

Sol thought of Camus again. He can already control the skeletons in the abyss. Does that mean that the sixth level of death is gradually establishing new cognition?

Char is still habitually pessimistic.

Char: [But how can we stop it? Stop the abyss from continuing to devour the continent? That is no different from what we are doing now, right? 】

Golsa: [I suddenly remembered something. I discussed the red worm with Douglas these two days, and I think one of his views is very interesting. 】

Floco: [What did you say? Who? Douglas? ! ]

Sol asked in confusion: “Floco, what’s wrong with you?”

Why are you so… terrified?

Sol could almost hear Floco’s heavy breathing.

Floco: […I am a little sensitive to this name, I hope it’s just a coincidence. ]

Sol thought of Douglas’s various abnormal and mysterious behaviors, and intuitively thought that it was not a coincidence.

The Douglas that he couldn’t see through and the Douglas that frightened Floco so much are probably the same person!

“The Douglas we met looked like a third-level wizard, but he gave people a very calm and composed feeling. Even when facing Alick, he didn’t show any emotional changes.”

Sol had a special experience. With the diary and starry eyes, he had the confidence to fight against the fourth-level wizard.

But Douglas could also be so calm – although he was very polite – giving people a strange feeling that they couldn’t tell what was wrong.

Sol didn’t describe Douglas’s appearance to Floco. After all, even a third-level wizard could easily change his appearance.

And mental fluctuations can’t be simulated 100%.

So Sol could only describe his feeling to Floco.

Unexpectedly, Floco had already identified the other party’s identity after hearing this information.

Floco: [No mistake, it’s him. Douglas, a fifth-level wizard who left the wizarding world one step earlier than me. I heard that he is only one step away from the sixth level. ]

Sol closed his eyes.

This news is shocking, but it also feels like it is as expected.

“Then why did Douglas disguise himself as a third-level wizard to help us fight the Abyss?”

Floco smiled bitterly.

Floco: [I was seriously injured by him last time, but I don’t know why he suddenly stopped in the middle and saved my life. However, I think no matter what he does, it must be to advance to the sixth level. ]

Xia: [Then could his goal be the Eye of the Abyss? After all, that was a dead sixth-level. ]

“If his goal is really the Eye of the Abyss, then it’s not a bad thing for us.”

A fifth-level wizard who wants to become a sixth-level wizard will definitely not refuse to study a sixth-level corpse, right?

Gorza: [Hehe, if his goal is also the sixth level, then when he talked to me about the red worm, he should have deliberately hinted me and given me information on how to fight the Eye of the Abyss.]

Everyone finally remembered what Gorza had not finished saying just now, and they all became curious.

Gorza: [He told me that the method of deactivating the red worm is actually to give the red worm a false impression. Let it think it is dead. Because the red worm is a very pure consciousness life, when it thinks it is dead, it will enter the deactivation state. It is very similar to the wizard whose spirit is alienated but the body is still alive.]

Thor nodded repeatedly. Now he recalled any of Douglas’s actions and thought that they all had a specific meaning.

Xia Ya: [Did Douglas want us to hint at the abyss and let him think he was dead? No, the abyss is dead.]

Floco: [This is just a way of thinking. We can’t limit ourselves to life and death. 】

Thor thought for a moment and said, “Maybe Douglas is trying to hint to us that if we give Abyss a wrong answer, his resurrection will fail.”

If the Eye of the Abyss wants to be resurrected, it must rebuild its cognition of its essence. But what if this cognition is wrong?

Then it will definitely not be able to be resurrected!

The Fantasy Channel was silent for a moment.

Char: [This, this is not easy. It is easy to fabricate a wrong cognition, but it is not easy to fabricate a wrong cognition that can be considered correct by a sixth-level person! 】

Gorza is still optimistic.

Gorza: [It is not easy to deceive a sixth-level person, but it is not impossible to deceive a sixth-level person who has gone crazy. 】

“Yes, and the Abyss is now eager to be resurrected, and Camus is getting more and more anxious. I seriously suspect that there is not much time left for the Abyss. Once a certain limit is exceeded, he will lose the ability to resurrect forever. So he is likely to seize every opportunity to try.”

Floco: [A drowning person wants to grab any piece of driftwood, and he will not care whether the driftwood can bear his weight. 】

“So next, while defending against the black tide, everyone must also find a suitable lie.”

Char: [I don’t need to, I’m just a small second-level. ]

Gorza: [Hehe, don’t worry, the thinking of a fool can sometimes inspire a wise man. It is because you know nothing that you can jump out of the limit and imagine without restraint. ]

Char: I always feel that you are scolding me, but I dare not scold back. So angry!

Thor couldn’t help but chuckle, “Okay, so none of us can give up. You can also discuss this issue with others without revealing the secrets of the abyss.”

…

After disconnecting, Gorza sat up from his big pink sofa.

“Interesting way of communication.” He rubbed his forehead and didn’t feel any discomfort.

This way of communication has actually exceeded his cognition of consciousness communication.

But since it was a way that Thor came up with, Gorza could only say: he was used to it.

He touched his bandaged chin, tilted his head, and began to think about the homework that Thor assigned to everyone.

Come on, now the mentor has to complete the apprentice’s homework in turn.

After thinking for a while, Golsa didn’t have any ideas, so he teleported to Douglas who was doing experiments in the observatory.

Douglas was wearing a white wizard robe, holding two beakers, and still looked calm, “What’s the matter?”

“How do you think we can stop the abyss from erupting?”

Golsa was sometimes stubborn, but sometimes he was very flexible.

For example, now, he came to Douglas just to… copy the answer.
