Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 484

Chapter 481 Stains

Izzy followed the crowd and squeezed into the apartment where she lived.

There were too many people who needed to use the elevator. Izzy looked at the dense crowd in front of her and decided to take the stairs with the other group of people.

After the diversion of each floor, when Izzy climbed to the 17th floor where she lived, there was no one around her.

Entering the 17th floor, Izzy just saw the door of the elevator open and two people squeezed out.

She recognized them at a glance. They were the couple who lived next door.

“Good evening.” Izzy smiled and greeted the other party.

The person opposite just nodded lightly, his face full of fatigue.

Izzy knew this couple before. He used to live in the town next to them. The people were very enthusiastic. However, he was bound by the steel cage soon after entering the city, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Izzy returned to his rented room. Just after closing the door, he could no longer hold on to the smile on his face.

“Huh, I’m so tired.” Izzy’s hand pressed somewhere on the wall skillfully, and the room immediately lit up.

The mysterious witchcraft facility that once made Izzy fuss a year ago can no longer move people.

Izzy shrugged and lowered her head, kicked off her shoes, and walked towards her bedroom.

She and another girl shared this small suite. The two met through the agency, and each bedroom had a lock.

But after a year of getting along, Izzy rarely locked her door.

The light in the center of the room shone on Izzy, and her shadow fell on the wall.

The shadow was very strange, much thinner than Izzy.

It seemed like a skeleton without flesh and wearing clothes.

She didn’t pay attention to the shadow on the wall, but immediately threw herself on her bed and buried her head in the pillow until she felt suffocated, then turned over.

“I still miss the days on the farm!” She sighed softly, “Life in the city is tiring and boring, and there is no possibility of promotion. How can people in the book be so smart and come up with so many ideas?”

Although life in Goster is very convenient, work almost fills the girl’s whole day, leaving her with less and less time to do other things.

Moreover, her work content is very monotonous and boring, which is to make parts of a part of a certain witchcraft prop.

She had no idea what magical props and facilities her creations would eventually become.

The core information was kept completely secret from ordinary employees like them.

“In fact, I’ve already made a lot of money.” Izzy took out the deposit slips from under her pillow, “1, 2, 3…”

“I never dared to think of so much money before. How about I take this money home.”

Izzy calculated the total of these slips and the amount of money she would lose if she withdraws it early.

Ten minutes later, she lay back on the bed, holding the slips in her hands against her chest, “How about, how about another three years?”

At this time, she heard the sound of the door opening next door.

Just now, in order to calculate how much money she had made, Izzy had secretly locked the door to avoid being seen by her roommate who had returned.

So when she heard the sound of the door opening, she turned her head to confirm it.

It was indeed the door of the bedroom next door that was opened.

It was really strange. In the past, her roommates always came back later than her.

When Izzy came back today, she saw that the lights in the living room were not on and the door of the bedroom next door was closed. She thought her roommate had not come back today either.

She stuffed the receipt back under the pillow, prepared to put on her shoes and go over to say hello to her roommate.

Just as she lowered her head to put on her shoes, she suddenly heard the handle of her door move twice.

Izz paused and looked up at the door.

Then she clearly saw that the brass handle of the door slowly turned half a circle.

“Click, click…”

The handle was stuck in the middle and couldn’t turn anymore, because Izz had secretly locked it when she was counting the money.

The brass handle turned back and then slowly twisted again.

Izz should have shouted “I’m coming, I’m coming.” and then went to open the door.

But today, for some reason, she looked at the slowly turning handle and felt a little scared. She opened her mouth but couldn’t say a word.

She suddenly felt that the person opening the door might not be her roommate.

But if it wasn’t her roommate, who would be the person coming out from next door?

Could it be a thief?

The door handle turned again, still stuck in the middle.

Then, the person behind the door gave up.

Izz heard the footsteps gradually moving away and heading towards the door.

If you listen carefully, the footsteps sound very strange, as if there is a shoe full of sand.

Izzy was a little nervous. She wondered if it was really a thief.

But the high-rise buildings made by the wizards required a pass to enter each floor. The door outside the room also needed a pass to open. Only the door in the bedroom had an original lock cylinder.

Izzy had put on her shoes and tiptoed to the door of the bedroom.

At this time, the footsteps in the living room had gone away. Izzy carefully unlocked the lock, opened the door a crack, and looked out.

Her door was diagonally opposite the main door, and she saw someone opening the door and going out.

That person was Izzy’s roommate. The other party

was walking out with his head down, and the expression on his face seemed a little blurred at the junction of light and darkness.

“Ah, it’s really her.” Izzy breathed a sigh of relief, and his shoulders slumped. “Really, she didn’t say anything all the time, which scared me.”

Izzy was about to say hello to her roommate, but she saw that the other party didn’t notice her and closed the door and left.

The door closed with a heavy “bang”, which scared Izzy all over.

She pushed the bedroom door open completely and looked at the door in confusion.

“What happened to her? Did she have trouble leaving?”

The roommate came a few years earlier than Izzy. Recently, she has been complaining about being too tired at work and too constrained in life. She has already planned to leave and return to the small village where she originally lived.

It is said that she has even written a resignation report.

So the roommate has been very excited during this period.

But she looked a little strange today.

Izzy was a little worried and wondered whether to catch up with her and ask her. She just came over to turn the handle of her bedroom, maybe just to talk to her.

But as soon as she walked out, she found that the ground was full of black footprints.

“Oh my God, what did her shoes step on, so dirty?”

Looking back again, Izzy found that there was a black handprint on the handle of her bedroom door.

“This, how can her hand…” Izzy suddenly became very scared halfway through.

She quickly retreated to her bedroom and locked the door. She didn’t even dare to stay in front of the door, but threw off her shoes, climbed onto the bed, and wrapped herself tightly with a quilt.

For a while, several strange stories circulating in the city appeared one by one in Izzy’s mind, causing the girl’s muscles to tremble uncontrollably.

In the corridor, the girl who had just left the room lowered her head and walked slowly.

But it took her more than ten seconds to walk a distance of three or four meters.

Then she stood in front of a closed door. She turned the doorknob first, but without a pass, the door could not be opened at all.

The girl stopped where she was, as if she was hesitating, as if she was thinking.

Then she raised her hand.

“Knock, knock…” She

knocked on the door a few times.

A voice came from the room.

“Who is it?”

The girl looked sluggish and did not speak. Instead, after hearing the voice responding, she knocked

on the door a few more times with more force. “I’m coming, I’m coming!” This time, a clear voice and the sound of rapid footsteps came from behind the door.

The sluggish girl’s mouth corners slightly raised.

However, at this moment, a black tentacle suddenly stretched out from the stairwell and swept the girl away in an instant.

Then, the knocked door opened and a man walked out.

He looked at the empty corridor in confusion, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

“Who is it?” The wife shouted in the room.

“No one. Is Xiaobao knocking on the wall again?”

“Beat him.”

The man shook his head and smiled. Just as he was about to go back, he saw a few more black spots on the door.

He reached out and touched it, and tiny black flakes began to fall off.

I overslept… This chapter counts as yesterday’s…
