Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 334

Chapter 333: Useless?

After spending a night asking nightmare butterflies and reading notes intermittently, Thor figured out the current situation of nightmare butterflies.

Haywood’s notes said that the eggs of each nightmare butterfly are not their children, but their new bodies. If nothing goes wrong, nightmare butterflies can rely on transferring their consciousness to their eggs to get a new life.

In this way, they can also inherit their previous memories, which is the history they talk about.

But this method seems to have problems.

Because Haywood once learned from the tower master that the process of nightmare butterflies transferring is also their most vulnerable moment.

It is said that some formal wizards – Haywood marked here “at least second-level wizards” – will specifically focus on this process to capture nightmare butterflies.

Of course, the dying explosion of nightmare butterflies is also very terrifying. There are also high-level wizards who died on this.

At the same time, the notes record the transfer of nightmare butterflies often need to rely on dreams, and the stronger the spiritual body, the better the dream.

This can greatly shorten their weakening period.

“So Penny originally wanted to be reborn through my dream?”

“Yes, and in order to gain power from your history, she also observed you.”

Thor: “… No wonder she admitted her mistake to me at that time.”

His history involves traveling between worlds. It’s not the kind of travel from a big world to a small world. It’s the travel between worlds with many different underlying rules.

Even he himself almost got stuck when he tried to observe his own history, so how could he have the energy to save others.

“Do you remember what you observed?”

The little butterfly fluttered its wings, “If I remember, I am the one who doesn’t exist.”

“Okay.”

Thor felt a little sorry. If he could take this opportunity to know what happened when he traveled through time, would he have a chance to understand whether there was any change in his soul.

But after experiencing an inexplicable crisis, Thor did not figure out whether he had experienced any special events when he traveled through time.

And the observer Penny only peeked a little bit, and because of this, she lost part of her own history and became a proud little butterfly.

“Why do I feel like I have become a bomb?” Thor shook his head. Exploring the mystery of travel is more dangerous than he thought.

“So I should still focus on removing the container’s rejection of the soul in the resurrection experiment. I may not get any results by studying the special characteristics of my own soul. If I let Professor Gorza do the research in the end…”

Thor knew too well what the consequences of being someone else’s experimental experience would be. Hayden and Hermann were living examples.

Life and death are not decided by people, and so is gender.

Thinking of this, Thor looked at the Nightmare Butterfly.

“Does it still have the ability to observe history?”

“No!” The little butterfly answered very straightforwardly.

“What about the ability to change other people’s memories?”

“No!”

Thor crossed his arms. If it were before, he naturally didn’t want the Nightmare Butterfly to have this ability to change cognition.

But now that it has become a bookmark, Thor naturally hopes that his pet can be stronger.

But on the other hand, if the ability of the Nightmare Butterfly in front of him is still as strong as before, Thor may not be able to regain it with his current strength.

He simply asked, “What abilities do you have now?”

“I don’t know!”

Thor sighed and was about to take the Nightmare Butterfly back. Unexpectedly, the little butterfly seemed to sense his intention and flew up suddenly, saying pitifully, “Brother Thor, can you please not take me to that dark place?”

“Not going back? Can you stay outside for a long time?”

“Why not? I have always stayed outside.”

Thor pondered for a moment. The Nightmare Butterfly was originally a special life between the wizard body and consciousness.

Maybe her soul is different from that of the wizard apprentice, and she can act alone outside.

Thinking of this, Thor agreed to the Nightmare Butterfly’s request, “Then you stay outside first. If you feel anything unusual and want to go back, you can call me at any time.”

“Thank you, Brother Thor, you are so nice!”

The Nightmare Butterfly turned a circle in the air, and then landed on Thor’s cheek, and its antennae gently touched Thor’s face.

Thor only felt a little cold.

“Nightmare Butterfly… Forget it, I’ll call you Penny from now on. Although you have forgotten your history, you should still be her.”

“Okay, I like the name Penny!” The Nightmare Butterfly, who had lost part of its history, had no objection to this name and accepted it with pleasure.

“Penny, why can your consciousness exist independently from the body? The consciousness should be very fragile. Without a body, it is difficult to resist the pollution and alienation that may happen at any time.”

“Because I have history, knowing history can make me confirm my existence, and the more history I know, the more stable my power will be. Even if I get hurt occasionally, I can find myself by looking back at history.”

“But you have lost most of your memory now. Will this be dangerous?”

“Normally it will be, but I am in a special situation now.”

“Are you saying that your connection with the diary can protect you?”

“So that dark place is called a diary. What a strange name.”

Thor did not explain, and Penny did not need to know about the diary.

In short, the way the Nightmare Butterfly survives as an independent consciousness is not suitable for wizards.

Thor temporarily stopped studying Penny. He put the notes back into the sealed lead box and returned to the experimental area to clean up the mess.

He had not yet discovered why Herman suddenly became abnormal when he entered the female corpse.

That afternoon, when Hayden came to see Thor as usual, he found that the tall man following him was gone.

Before he could ask, he saw Herman standing in the middle of the corpse group with his eyes closed at the outermost of the second warehouse.

He immediately showed a trace of panic, “Master Thor, Her…”

Thor followed Hayden’s gaze and looked over. He understood in his heart, but he only said lightly: “There is something wrong with the experiment.”

Hayden’s heart suddenly rose with a trace of panic. He followed Thor anxiously.

Her’s “death” made Hayden nervous. He didn’t expect Thor to consume an experimental subject so quickly.

Although he took the risk to participate in the spirit infusion experiment, Hayden was mentally prepared to be studied in various ways. Before coming to Thor, she knew that he would study her. After all, even normal wizard apprentices would become experimental subjects of their mentors, either voluntarily or forcibly.

But when he really saw an experimental subject being consumed, a huge fear still rose in his heart.

When Hayden walked to the experimental area at a much slower speed than usual, she was shocked by the instrument that appeared in front of her.

“Electric inductance chair?”

In an instant, the time when she just became an experimental subject reappeared in Hayden’s mind. The sluggish and insensitive feedback of the new body and the painful experiments day and night made him palpitate.

Hayden stood there, unable to take another step forward.

The imaginary electric current swept through his body, and he thought that all the hairs on his body were blown up, but in fact, only his eyelashes trembled slightly.

Hayden knew that he had no way to disobey Thor’s order. Even if he would die in the next second, he could only cooperate obediently.

But although she knew it, her body stood there honestly.

Thor walked over and turned on the inductance instrument. He noticed Hayden’s fear, so he explained the content of the experiment in advance and told him not to be so nervous.

“Today we are going to study the repulsion of the corpse to the soul. You will sit on it in a while, and your consciousness will try to break free from the body. I will record the reactions of various parts of your body.”

Thor adjusted the chair and looked back at Hayden.

Look, I won’t electrocute you.

But Hayden still stood there stupidly, as if someone had pressed the pause button.

Thor frowned, “What are you worried about?”

Hayden’s trembling eyes moved from the inductor to Thor little by little. She opened her mouth but couldn’t speak.

However, just as Thor was about to forcefully order him to start the experiment, Hayden in front of him suddenly shuddered all over.

The fear on her body faded like a tide, and when she looked up again, her eyes were full of determination and a hint of madness.

“He doesn’t dare, but I do, sir.” Hayden’s second personality slowly forced a stiff smile on his face.
