Diary of the Death Wizard

After spending one night, by asking the Nightmare Butterfly and intermittently reading the notes, Thor figured out the current situation of the Nightmare Butterfly a little bit.

Heywood's notes say that the egg of each Nightmare Butterfly is not their child, but their new body. If nothing else, the Nightmare Butterfly can obtain a new life by transferring its consciousness body to its own eggs.

As a result, they can also inherit the memories of the past, that is, the history in their mouths.

But this approach also seems to be problematic.

Because Heywood once learned from the mouth of the tower master that the transfer process of the nightmare butterflies was also their most vulnerable moment.

It is said that some official wizards—here Heywood marked at least a second-level wizard—will focus on this process to capture the nightmare butterfly.

Of course, the dying eruption of the Nightmare Butterfly is also terrifying. There are not no high-level wizards who died on this.

At the same time, the transfer of the nightmare butterfly in the notes often requires the help of dreams, and the stronger the mental body, the better the dreams.

This can greatly shorten their period of weakness.

So Penny originally wanted to use my dream to be reborn?

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

Saul: ... No wonder, she would admit my mistake to me at that time.

His history may involve traveling between worlds. It's not the ordinary kind of crossing from the big world to the small world. Instead, the underlying rules have many different worlds to traverse.

Even he himself almost fell into it when trying to observe his own history, so how could he have the energy to save others.

Do you remember what you observed?

The little butterfly flapped its wings, If I remember, I would be the one who didn't exist.

All right.

Sol felt a little pity. If he could take this opportunity to know what happened when he passed through, would he have a chance to know if there was any change in his soul?

However, after going through an inexplicable crisis, Saul didn't know whether he experienced any special events during the time travel.

The observer, Penny, just peeked a little bit, and thus lost part of her own history, turning into a tsundere little butterfly.

How do you feel that I have become a bomb? Sol shook his head, exploring the mysteries of crossing was more dangerous than he imagined.

So I should put the idea of ​​the resurrection experiment on releasing the repulsion of the container to the soul. I may not get any results from my own research on the specificity of my soul. If I finally let Instructor Gorza do the research...

Thor knew all too well the consequences of being someone else's experimental experience. Hayden and Herman are living examples.

Life and death are not in control of people, and so is gender.

Thinking of this, Thor looked at the Nightmare Butterfly.

Do you still have the ability to observe history?

No! Little Butterfly replied very simply.

What about the ability to change the memory of others?

Not anymore!

Sol crossed his arms. If it was before, he naturally didn't want the Nightmare Butterfly to have this ability to change cognition.

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

But thinking about it the other way around, if the ability of the Nightmare Butterfly in front of him is still as strong as before, Sol may not be able to regain it with his current strength.

He simply asked, Then what ability do you have now?

I don't know!

Sol sighed, and was about to take the Nightmare Butterfly back, but the little butterfly seemed to sense his intentions, flew up suddenly, and said pitifully, Brother Sol, can you not send me to that dark place? place?

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

Why not? I've been out all the time.

Sol pondered for a moment, the nightmare butterfly was originally a special life existence between the witch body and consciousness.

Maybe she is not the same soul as the wizard apprentice, and can act outside alone.

Thinking of this, Sol agreed to 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 Saul, you are so kind!

The nightmare butterfly circled in the air, then landed on Sol's cheek, and lightly touched Sol's face with its tentacles.

Sol only felt a little cold.

Nightmare Butterfly... Forget it, I will call you Penny from now on. Although you have forgotten your own history, you should still be her.

Okay, I like the name Penny! Nightmare Butterfly, who had lost part of her history, didn't have the slightest resistance to the name and accepted it happily.

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

Because I have a history, and knowing history allows me to confirm my existence, and the more history I know, the stronger my strength will be. Even if I get hurt occasionally, I can find myself in reviewing history.

But you have lost most of your memory now, will this be dangerous?

Normally yes, but now I have a special situation.

You mean your connection to the diary protects you?

So that dark place is called Diary, what a strange name.

Saul didn't explain, and Penny didn't need to understand the diary.

In short, the way the nightmare butterfly's independent consciousness survives does not apply to wizards.

Sol 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 hadn't discovered why Herman had a sudden abnormality when he entered the female corpse.

This afternoon, when Hayden came to look for Saul as usual, he found that the tall man behind him had disappeared.

Before he could ask a question, he saw Herman standing in the middle of the corpses with his eyes closed outside the second warehouse.

He suddenly showed a trace of panic, Master Saul, Hull, she...

Sol followed Hayden's gaze and looked over, knowing it in his heart, but he only said lightly: Something went wrong with the experiment.

A trace of fear suddenly rose in Hayden's heart. He followed Thor anxiously.

Hull'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 body infusion experiment, Hayden was already mentally prepared to be subjected to various studies. Before coming to Sol, he also knew that he would already be able to study himself. After all, even normal wizard apprentices would either voluntarily or be forced to become the experimental subjects of the mentors.

But when he really saw some experimental subjects being consumed, he still felt great fear in his heart.

When Hayden walked to the experiment area at a much slower speed than usual, he was startled by the instruments that appeared in front of him.

Inductive chair?

In an instant, the time when he had just become a test subject resurfaced in Hayden's mind. The sluggish, insensible feedback of the new body and the painful experiments day and night made him palpitate.

Hayden stood where he was, unable to take another step forward.

The electric current in his fantasy hit his whole body, he thought his hairs were all blown up, but in fact, only his eyelashes trembled slightly.

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

But if you know it, you know it, but her body is standing in place very honestly.

Sol walked over to turn on the inductance meter. He noticed Hayden's fear, so he explained the content of the experiment in advance to make him not so nervous.

What we are going to study today is the repulsion of the corpse to the soul. After a while, you sit on it, and your consciousness tries to break free from the body. I will record the reactions of all parts of your body.

Saul adjusted his chair and looked back at Hayden.

Look, I won't call you.

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

Saul frowned, What are you worried about?

Hayden's trembling pupils moved from the inductance meter to Sol's body little by little. She opened her mouth, but couldn't speak.

However, just when Saul was about to forcefully order him to start the experiment, Hayden in front of him suddenly trembled.

The breath of fear on her body faded away like a tide, and when she looked up again, her eyes were filled with firmness and a hint of madness.

He doesn't dare, I dare, my lord. Hayden's second personality slowly pulled a stiff smile on his face.
