Diary of the Death Wizard

Just as Thor continued to go deep into the archaeological city that had turned into a dusty ruin, Keli, who was left behind in the deserted town, suddenly raised her head from the magic book.

I seem to hear someone talking. Two strands of red hair beside Keli's ears were raised, like antennas receiving signals.

Agu, who was sitting next to Keli and answering her questions from time to time, paused slightly, An just walked around the town. It's true that no one has lived here for a long time. Is there anyone else coming here to rest?

An, who had been on alert on the roof, jumped down.

She used her mental power to sense her surroundings again, but found nothing.

Miss Keli, can you tell where the sound is coming from?

Keli listened for a while longer, her long red hair hanging down, There is no sound now, but the sound just now sounded not far from us.

This is even more strange, An Ke has been monitoring the surroundings.

If Keli could directly hear someone speaking with her ears, then there’s no reason why she and Agu couldn’t hear it?

But they really haven't noticed any fluctuations in mental power now.

Keli was not yet at the second level. Logically speaking, her strength should not be as good as An's, and her major did not involve the spiritual body. She actually heard something that neither An nor Agu heard.

But An didn't think that Keli was hallucinating just because she didn't find anything.

She directly transformed her lower body into a spider, climbed up the wall, climbed over the eaves and walls, and thoroughly inspected the small courtyard where they temporarily settled.

Still, nothing was found.

Strange. An returned to the place in confusion, looking at the surrounding walls and houses on both sides, Still not found. Could it be that someone sneaked up and left again?

But Keli was a little embarrassed. She pulled her hair and said hesitantly: Maybe I heard wrong.

She looked down at the magic book spread out on her lap, Maybe she was affected by this book.

Agu quickly said: Miss Keli, you should take a rest. If you are really affected by this book, you should restore your mental strength as soon as possible to avoid being further affected. If not, you also need to restore your energy to deal with other abnormalities. situation.

Keli closed the book reluctantly.

This book compiles the knowledge related to Kuroshio pollution studied by Saul and Byron, and the laboratory-grade inerting formula is also included.

Keli was shocked and quickly became addicted to it.

If it weren't for Sol's strict restriction on her reading time to prevent her from having a mental disorder, Cory would have been able to stay awake for days and nights.

Actually, I only watched it for less than ten minutes today...

...When I have money...

Keli's voice stopped suddenly.

Even Agu and An stood up and looked around with wary expressions.

Yes, the voice just now appeared again.

The sound is clearer.

And this time, Agu and An also heard it.

This sound is indeed very close. An squinted her eyes, and finally her sight fell on the house behind them.

...I will also go to Archaeology, but not now...

The sound is getting clearer and clearer.

Ann gestured to the others, then slowly approached the house behind her.

There were still sounds coming from inside.

...I'm leaving now, who will take care of you...

Andu could already hear the voice of a boy from the window, estimated to be less than 16 years old.

She looked solemn, ready to fight.

When she was doing the inspection just now, she obviously inspected every house in this small courtyard.

There's obviously no one there!

But why does a little boy appear now?

Especially after listening to several sentences clearly, An still couldn't find the mental power that should belong to the boy.

It was as if there were only sounds and no people inside.

But when An's head was almost pressed against the window, she vaguely saw the figures of two people.

It's just that these two figures are a little strange.

Keli released the protective development and walked to An's side.

Open it and you'll know. Keli also discovered something unusual.

She looked serious, but still pushed open the window.

After the window was pushed open, An and Agu both tensed up their non-existent muscles in an instant.

There were indeed two people behind the window.

But these two people... turned out to be caterpillars with human heads!

Both caterpillars are about the thickness of a man's forearm.

There are black spots on the plump white body. Small and very sharp spike-like long hairs cover the whole body, only ending near the neck.

Also here, the white bug gradually turned into dark skin, and finally evolved into a boy's head.

The boy's neck and face were both small, almost the same size as an insect's body, as if his head came out of the insect's body.

Keli's action of pushing the door did not disturb the boy, or rather the boy caterpillar, nor did it disturb the listener opposite him.

An old man's head with gray hair and wrinkles, also growing on the body of a caterpillar.

The boy caterpillar is still talking.

...No need to persuade me. After I do some more work and prepare food for you for the winter, I will go to the city to earn money...

Keli pursed her lips and looked at An next to her.

Then she gently closed the window.

Is it an illusion? Keli said softly.

Before finding the abnormal existence, they had been speaking in normal voices.

But Keli, who was shocked by the scene just now and had goosebumps all over her body, subconsciously communicated in the lowest voice.

It was as if they were afraid that the human-headed caterpillar in the room would hear their conversation, and then crawl out little by little with its pupa body.

It's not like that. An's face was also ugly, But their mental power fluctuations are very weak, they look like two ordinary civilians.

If their heads weren't on the necks of caterpillars, they would look like ordinary people.

Such two strange existences only exude the fluctuations of ordinary people.

This is hard to believe.

No matter what, let's leave this courtyard first. Agu also lowered his voice like Keli.

The three of them tiptoed and quietly left the courtyard where they had just settled.

Behind them, there was still a faint sound of conversation.

It wasn't until they closed the door to the small courtyard that the sound was completely cut off.

Keli touched her arm and said, Wait a while, let's go over and take a look.

An looked at Keli in disbelief, There's no need for us to enter again, right?

Now that I think about it, this small courtyard is very weird. As a soldier who protects Keli, An naturally doesn't want Keli to return to the small courtyard where she doesn't know the details.

They didn't show any aggression. The elemental particles here are not very active either. Keli thought of the inerting formula she just saw in the book and couldn't wait to test it herself.

However, when they opened the door again after a while, they found that the yard had become empty again, with no sound of conversation at all.

As a pioneer, An was still the first to go in.

She went straight to the innermost room. This time, when she opened the window, she did not see the caterpillar with a human face.

Gone. An stared blankly into the room.

The room was filled with dust.

There is no drag-like trace that a caterpillar should have when moving.
