Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 431
Chapter 428 Urgent Urgency
At the same time, in front of the bronze gate on the 20th floor, the president of the mutual aid association, Luo Kai, who was still only a second-level apprentice, stood expressionless.
Suddenly, a voice of an apprentice came from the end of the corridor.
“I saw the fireball spell!”
Hearing the signal he had been waiting for for a long time, Luo Kai’s mouth corners raised exaggeratedly.
“Hehehe,” he laughed very strangely, looking at the bronze gate in front of him, “The mentor sent me a signal, so now, I will satisfy your appetite.”
“Hehehe.”
“Hehehe.”
“Hehehe.”
Suddenly, the same strange laughter sounded behind Luo Kai.
Behind him stood a group of low-level apprentices with numb expressions and smiles at the same angle on their faces.
After laughing, they moved their feet, even the angles of their joints were the same, like puppets, step by step towards the bronze gate.
As the low-level apprentices approached, a strong oppressive force began to emanate from the bronze gate.
Several low-level apprentices closest to the gate fell to the ground with a plop.
But they soon got up again, with tears of fear flowing from the corners of their eyes, but they had to keep moving forward.
Even Luo Kai, who was standing behind them, felt the pressure, but he was not afraid, but extremely excited.
“Hehehe, let me see what’s in the mezzanine?”
Dozens of apprentices stood in front of the gate like a pile, stretched out their arms, and pushed the bronze gate open a little. After
pushing open this little gap, the colorful world behind the door appeared in front of everyone.
Before they could come back to their senses from their amazement, they saw pale and slender arms stretched out from behind the bronze gate. They greedily touched these low-level apprentices who were smiling while crying, and pulled them into the bronze gate like a loving lover.
Several low-level apprentices finally struggled to break free from the control. They shouted unconsciously and tried to squeeze out of the crowd.
But Luo Kai, who was standing at the back, raised his hands, and several transparent thin lines were faintly visible at his fingertips.
After the thin line appeared, several low-level apprentices who had broken free from their restraints out of fear were forced to turn around and approach the gate.
Their eyes were crying, but the corners of their mouths were raised to an extreme.
Seeing that the slender arms had pulled all the apprentices near the bronze gate into the gate, the colorful world inside the gate became more dazzling, the breath it exuded became more terrifying, and even strange black spots appeared. Luo Kai gradually felt the pressure.
He smiled and shook his head, “It’s so dangerous, forget it, I won’t play with you anymore.”
Luo Kai stepped back from the 20th floor in two steps, leaving only those desperate low-level apprentices watching themselves being pulled into a completely unimaginable world.
After leaving the 20th floor, Luo Kai clapped his hands and walked on tiptoe with joy.
“You must have been starving for so many years, right? Eat, eat, it’s all prepared for you. Only when you are full can you have a good party~”
The same scene happened in front of the bronze gate on the first floor of the East Tower, but the leader here was another female third-level apprentice.
This female apprentice had never looked at Luo Kai straight in the eye before, but she obeyed Luo Kai’s orders completely in private. And she didn’t feel dissatisfied at all.
On the other side of the bronze door, Heywood, who was sitting in the first warehouse, was looking at a group of snails with duck feet running around on the ground with a little disappointment.
Suddenly he felt something strange.
“Who dares to invade the warehouse while the mentor is conducting experiments?”
Heywood’s disappointment immediately turned into anger, but he was introverted and could maintain his calm even when angry.
He walked out of the first warehouse quickly, walked through the long corridor, and came to the bronze door.
Heywood was even more angry when he found that the bronze door had been pushed open. He cursed in his heart, “Looking for death!”
But when he approached the door, he found that the colorful and distorted world inside the door was almost overflowing from the door frame.
Heywood had been in the first warehouse for more than ten years, and he had some friendship with the mezzanine. He had a way to close the door in advance.
But just as he was about to go forward to restore the door to its original state, he heard Heidi scream behind him.
“Heidi?” After being reminded by his sister, Heywood immediately stopped and looked at the bronze door again.
This time, he saw many more black figures in the door.
Heywood trembled all over.
“Who is it? Who sent so many people into the mezzanine? Aren’t they afraid of the vengeful spirits in the mezzanine rioting?”
For some reason, when Heywood thought of the mezzanine riot, a vague fear surged in his heart.
For a moment, he stood there, not daring to get close.
On the other side, Keli ran directly to Guduo’s laboratory panting.
Her hair was much shorter than before, from shoulder length to just ear length.
Those golden hairs containing metallic energy were all used by her to resist Jero’s pursuit behind her.
Although Keli was actually about to be promoted to level three, she was still not good enough in front of Jero, the top level three apprentice.
But for some reason, Jero didn’t seem to chase Keli seriously.
He put his hands in his pockets and walked leisurely. When facing the metal hair that Keli used to block him, he turned his head and dodged.
In this way, the two of them came to Guduo’s laboratory one after the other.
After entering the laboratory, Keli immediately looked at the long table in the room, where she had prepared the antidote for the soul toxin.
Although it was not the antidote for the toxin she had just strengthened a few days ago, if she could give it to Thor, it would definitely greatly alleviate his symptoms.
“Star grass, soul-eating ants, elimination solvent…” Keli rushed to the laboratory table and quickly searched for the things inside. At the same time, she tried her best to mobilize her brain and think about the antidote for the enhanced version of the soul toxin.
But after flipping for a few seconds, she didn’t find the antidote she secretly prepared!
“It’s not there.” A sigh sounded in the corner of the room, “You are so panicked that you haven’t seen me for so long. It seems that Thor has been poisoned.”
Keli immediately straightened her waist and looked in the direction of the sound with a solemn expression.
At the end of the room, there was a person sitting, and although she ran in in a hurry, she didn’t expect that she didn’t notice it at all.
It was Billy!
Kelly had never seen Billy participate in any research related to the resurrection experiment. He was wholeheartedly conducting experiments on soul toxins.
Even the soul toxin that Keli improved was first made by Billy.
But now, according to what Billy said, he seemed to know a lot about the conspiracy of Gudo Mentor.
Did Billy also participate in the rebellion of the mentors?
Keli bit her lips lightly. If so, it would be difficult for her to get the antidote for the soul toxin.
At this moment, Jero also appeared outside the laboratory door.
“Hey, are you back to the laboratory? It seems that you like it here very much. How about dying here?” Jero said with a smile, and there was already a dim arc flashing in the palm of his hand.
Keli leaned against the laboratory table, watching Jero and Billy at the same time, and a layer of gold gradually appeared on the skin of her face.
“Jero!” Suddenly, Billy spoke up to interrupt the atmosphere of the battle.
Jero obviously knew Billy’s strength. Although the opponent might not be very powerful in a fight, his various toxins were hard to defend against.
Jero didn’t want to fight Billy unless it was absolutely necessary.
“What? You want to do it yourself?” Jero’s eyes moved between Kelly and Billy, gradually revealing interest. “Then I’ll give it to you. Just don’t let her go back to the garden.”
After saying that, the electric arc in Jero’s palm dissipated. He clasped the back of his head with both hands, humming a strange tune, and left.
Before Jero’s figure completely disappeared, Keli immediately looked around.
Even if she really wanted to fight Billy, she had to find out where the antidote was first.
Billy did not move, and let Keli look for it.
Finally, Keli’s eyes fixed on the corner of the room.
There were two spherical glass vessels, one large and one small. The small one still contained beta toxin, but the big one had something else.
Keli was very familiar with its appearance.
It was the antidote for soul toxin!
And it was the bottle she personally prepared!
Keli immediately rushed forward and was about to take out her own antidote.
“Keli!” Billy, who was sitting on the other side, called her, “Don’t take the antidote for Thor, you stay here honestly, I promise that no matter who succeeds in the end, I can take you out of the wizard tower safely.”
Keli’s hand in the air froze, and she slowly turned her head, and then looked at Billy with a look like… a fool.
“What did you say?”
Billy lowered his head and did not look at Keli, and naturally did not notice the “complex” emotions in her eyes.
“Thor has been targeted by Anze and Gudo for a long time. Don’t risk your life for him. You are a genius and you still have a lot of room to grow…”
Billy usually doesn’t like to talk much, and this is the first time he has talked so much to Keli.
But Keli didn’t want to listen halfway through, so she simply turned her head and pressed her fingers directly on the spherical glass to draw runes.
When her fingertips passed the last symbol, the spherical glass was also opened.
Keli laughed excitedly. Although the sealed small magic circle was different from the original one, it didn’t bother her at all.
She reached in and grabbed the antidote.
“Ah-” Billy sighed.
Keli’s nerves immediately tensed up. Maybe Billy just wanted to wait until she got the antidote before attacking her?
Keli was ready for a fight!
Billy was not as good at fighting as Jero just now. Keli was still confident that she could escape with the antidote in a head-on confrontation.
Who knew that just when she was about to pull her hand out of the glass, she suddenly felt something sharp against her wrist.
Seeing that Keli stopped moving, Billy said slowly: “The needle inside is already filled with your alpha radiation toxin. If you want to take out the antidote, the toxin will be injected into your body immediately. Radiation toxin, you know, there is still no antidote.”
Keli sneered and looked back at Billy, “So you are waiting for me here.”
Billy looked up at the angry Keli and said with a complicated heart: “So you are not so reckless. It seems that you are really anxious. This trap is not set by me. It is specially left for you by mentor Gudo. He knows that you have a good relationship with Thor, and he may come to get the antidote to save him.”
Billy explained for Gudo.
“But he doesn’t really want to kill you. As long as you stay here for a day, the needle will retract, and then you can move freely with the antidote. This is also to save you.”
Billy did not remind Keli of the trap in the glass container, and he didn’t want Keli to return to the battlefield.
Keli’s breathing trembled, and she looked down at her arm stretched into the glass.
The needle against her wrist was transparent, which might be the effect of some kind of witchcraft, but Keli could clearly feel a sharp object against her skin.
She looked at her wrist, but in her mind, Thor’s skin slowly dissolved.
“What about you? If I want to leave, will you do anything to me?” Keli’s voice softened, but her back was stiff and straight.
Billy smiled, “No.”
He patted the chair under him, “In fact, in order to prevent me from making trouble, they also put me in a confinement. Before dark, I can’t leave the area within one meter of this chair.”
“So that’s it.” Keli nodded, her eyes empty, as if she had accepted her fate.
Seeing this, Billy hesitated and said, “If you feel bored… we can talk about your radiation toxins. I have always been interested, maybe we can explore… Keli, what are you doing?!”
Billy was shocked!
He was talking excitedly halfway, but found that Keli suddenly took her hand out of the glassware, and her palm was still tightly holding the bottle of antidote.
Although her wrist was covered with a layer of metal protection, there was still a black needle hole on it.
Billy didn’t know what to say. His lips were trembling. He could only watch Keli take out the antidote, scrape a bunch of materials from the laboratory table, and turn around to run out of the laboratory.
“You are going to die!” When Keli was about to step out of the door, he finally shouted out the surprise in his heart.
Keli paused, half turned her head, and said calmly: “Sorry, I can’t wait, I have to pee.”
As soon as the voice fell, Keli’s figure disappeared in the corridor.
It can be seen that she was really anxious.
Very anxious…
Outside the wizard tower, in the small garden, when Thor saw Anze releasing a fireball spell towards the sky, he knew that Anze might have a backup plan.
He immediately thought of Luo Kai who didn’t know where he ran away.
“We can’t wait any longer. Maybe we can try to force the detoxification.”
Thor is not without a way to deal with this terrifying soul toxin.
This soul toxin only targets Thor’s skin, but it doesn’t mean that Thor’s soul energy can’t take the initiative to attack!
He decided to use soul fishing to attack his skin!
Thor’s skin is made of soul-eating ester, which contains a rare material, which is Thor’s own soul, so it is targeted by soul toxins.
And soul-eating ester, except for those given to seniors Byron and Heywood, no one else has the formula.
But there is another person – An Ze, who once broke Thor’s fingers to observe closely. As a mentor who is proficient in materials science, he may have discovered some of the secrets of soul-eating ester.
With a response in mind, Thor tried to form gray transparent tentacles on his palm.
The tentacles were poisoned as soon as they were formed and softened quickly, but Thor’s eyes lit up.
“It’s a good idea!”
He made all the skin covered by his clothes quickly grow tiny octopus tentacles.
These octopus tentacles can’t grow very long, but they grow fast enough and can be easily formed.
Then, before these small tentacles softened due to poisoning, they quickly “bend down” and stick tightly to Thor’s skin, and begin to absorb the spiritual power inside and the soul toxins wrapped on it!
“It’s feasible!” Thor’s eyes were filled with joy. He could already feel that the speed at which his skin was melting was slowing down.
Just hold on for a while longer…
“Hmm!” Suddenly, a muffled groan came from Gorza.
Thor looked over immediately and found that the riot that had been slightly suppressed on the other side had worsened again!
Streams of black blood flowed out without cost, and soon formed a small pool of black water on the ground.
And Yula, who was holding him tightly, smiled, “Kill me…”
She tried harder to squeeze herself into Gorza’s wound, wanting to completely contaminate this person.
Anze supported Rum and stood up again.
“I know that the wizard tower is the trump card of your Glowing Family. With it, you can’t be killed under normal circumstances. So until just now, you probably didn’t think you would die today, right?”
Anze staggered forward two steps, and new thin and dense black nematodes fell from his body again, and tried hard to crawl towards Gorza.
“But have you ever thought about this: if one day your wizard tower riots first, is polluted, and loses control, can you still rely on it to eliminate the pollution, or… detonate it and perish with us?”
Chapter 1 has 4,500 words, and Chapter 2 will be written after 6pm. I don’t know how many thousands of words it will be, but I have to finish it anyway.
