Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 493

Chapter 490 Source of Pollution

“Damn it!” Thor threw away the human skin in his hand and went forward to check on Izzy’s condition.

The girl’s skin became wrinkled almost instantly.

This was not because her skin aged and lost moisture, but because her body under the skin was no longer plump.

The shriveled body could not support the tender skin.

“Crack.”

The girl’s charred left hand, which had lost its skin, lost its support and broke into four pieces on the ground.

Perhaps the fall of the arm caused a shock, and the skin on other parts of Izzy’s body cracked to varying degrees.

And under the wrinkled skin, all that was exposed was black texture.

When you wipe it with your hand, black powder will fall down.

Such a person is obviously not going to survive.

But Thor let Xiaozao pay attention to Izzy for so long, and he didn’t notice when her insides turned into charcoal.

Even before her skin cracked, Thor only found traces of being entangled by evil spirits on her body, and didn’t find that the pollution had invaded the subcutaneous tissue.

“Rip——”

Xiaozao was originally holding Izzy’s waist.

The skin was hidden by the clothes, so no one could see it.

But now, Izzy’s body was slowly sliding down, and the part where Xiaozao was rolling up began to pile up layer by layer.

Thor could imagine that if he left it alone, in a few seconds, Izzy’s upper body skin would be taken off like a shirt.

“Put her down.” Thor sighed softly.

Xiaozao quickly put her on the ground.

At the moment when the body and the ground collided lightly, a large amount of black powder fell out from the cracks in the skin, forming a human-shaped black dust circle.

“Master?” At this time, Morton walked in from outside, “I found some remnants of evil spirits in the pipe, but there are some strange friction marks on it.”

He walked in and saw Izzy and was shocked, “What is this?”

“I subdued an evil spirit outside. But the girl in this room is still dead. Maybe my previous idea was wrong. This girl, as well as the other people who turned into charred corpses, did not die because of the pollution of evil spirits. On the contrary, they died first and then became evil spirits.”

“In this case, other factors caused their deaths.” Morton analyzed.

“Yes, and the transition from life to death was very fast. When I rushed into the room, she still had the breath of a living person. It took only a few breaths until she shed her skin and died.”

Moreover, she died from the inside. The outer epidermis was still intact, emitting residual vitality, so I couldn’t accurately judge when she started to carbonize. “

While speaking, Izzy, who was lying on the ground, suddenly moved.

As she moved, more skin began to tear under friction, and more black powder fell.

The girl climbed up from the ground stiffly and struggled as if she had come alive.

When she opened her eyes, her eyeballs were still intact, but her eyes were dull, looking like two fake eyes.

“Water…”

A faint voice came from Izzy’s mouth. She didn’t notice Sol and Morton in front of her, and turned around and slowly walked towards the table.

Sol didn’t stop the girl’s movements, “She is now starting to become a demon. The first thing she did was to find water.”

Morton nodded, “It can be seen that although she has become a demon, she still retains a trace of consciousness and memory before her death. “

Thor raised his hand, looked at the black powder on his fingertips, and twisted it gently.

“The last time we subdued the evil spirit in this building, we saw it trying to open the door. Maybe the evil spirit didn’t want to open the door to kill people at that time…”

Morton clashed his fists, “It’s looking for water!”

Thor suddenly thought of the dead agent a few months ago.

The evil spirit that took him away also had black powder on the ground. And that evil spirit took people away through a water pipe.

At the same time, the agent who was taken away did not appear to be charred, but had insect legs growing under his head.

“It is basically certain that carbonized evil spirits cannot create new carbonized evil spirits. So the appearance of every carbonized evil spirit is due to other reasons. And this reason is spread all over the city.”

Thor and Morton looked at each other, both of them looked a little unhappy.

Because they thought of something that was also distributed throughout the city, or even wider.

The big tree underground!

Thor cleaned the black powder on his palm and rubbed his forehead.

“Kismet, this guy, actually wanted to give me the big tree as a gift.”

Judging from the current ability of the big tree, even if Thor can deal with some of its branches and roots, he is definitely not the opponent of its main body.

“The good thing for me at the moment is that this kind of pollution that will cause the inside to be charred and carbonized will not be transmitted to the wizard. However, the main body of the big tree will actively attack the wizard. Last time I was attacked in the underground sewer and the suburbs, which means that it will secretly attack when no one is around.”

This big tree hidden in the underground of Guoster is not harmless.

And Baidong Academy, as a wizard academy that has developed Guoster City into its current scale, how could it be completely unaware of the existence of the underground tree?

Thor now even suspects that the person who planted and cultivated this big tree is Baidong Academy.

And Dean Pound and the female wizard named Beth obviously did not tell the truth last time.

They took out a tree root and asked Thor if he had collected other tree roots. This might be just to observe how much Thor knew about this big tree, and to recover the roots left in other people’s hands.

Just as Thor and Morton were trying to figure out the source of the pollution of the black charred corpse, in a corner of the city, Char had already met up with the wizard Julie.

After the two of them communicated secretly, Char led Julie to the basement of the building next to them.

“Where are your clues?” Julie asked Char silently using the teleportation technique.

“I arranged for him to stay upstairs in this building.”

“Then why did you go to the basement?”

Char turned back and looked at Julie deeply, “Because the pollution comes from underground.”

Julie pulled her long hair on her chest, “Are you sure? How did you find out?”

“I have been observing these evil spirits of the charred corpse for a long time. I found a characteristic.”

“What?” Julie approached curiously.

As a result, Char raised his hand and used a wooden stick in his hand to push Julie’s shoulder away.

“Don’t get so close to me, be careful not to trigger my automatic attack reaction arc.”

Julie rolled her eyes, took a step back, and kept a distance of three meters from Char.

“Is this distance enough? Tell me!”

“I found that these scorched corpses will not create new scorched corpses after they appear.”

“You mean the pollution on the scorched corpses will not spread again? That’s a good thing.”

“But it also shows that the source of pollution that turns people into scorched corpses is not evil spirits. At least not this kind of evil spirit. I think it should be something else, even a wizard!”

Julie was shocked, “Are you saying that there are monsters or wizards attacking ordinary people? And it has been going on for a long time?”

Although Julie is not that smart, as a wizard, she is not that stupid.

After Char’s reminder, she immediately knew that a monster or wizard who can attack ordinary people for a long time must be very powerful.

But Baidong Academy did not respond to this.

Could it be that Baidong Academy did not find it?

Unlikely.

As the publisher of the sweeper mission, they must have more information in their hands. They cannot fail to notice the data that Char can count.

Julie became nervous when she thought of this. Her fingers pinching her hair tightened unconsciously. A few long white hairs broke and fell on her arms.

Then she thought of something else.

“Fortunately, this pollution source currently only affects ordinary people.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Julie saw Xia turning back and rolling her eyes at her.

“How can you think so comfortably? Now they can affect ordinary people, and in the future they can affect apprentices, and in the future they can affect us!”

Seeing Julie staring back at him angrily, Xia was too lazy to say anything else.

“Let’s go. According to the rules I summarized, my clue has been marked and will be completely polluted. According to previous experience, this pollution comes from underground.”
