Chapter 33: Is the hard cover book upgraded?
Thor once again observed the... pieces of meat on the teleportation platform from a semi-immersed perspective. This time, it was no longer covered with the vague layer of holy light.
Suddenly, Thor sensed something.
He turned his head suddenly and looked at the portal. A pair of eyes behind the black tassels were staring at him in horror.
Thor walked towards the transfer port carrying the bone chopping knife with minced meat hanging on it and blood dripping from it.
He lifted up the black leather tassel and saw the person crawling backwards inside.
The light in the room slanted into the transmission port, cutting a dividing line between light and darkness on the man's face.
Sol narrowed his eyes and guessed the identity of this person.
"Senior, it's our first time meeting you, let's come and chat."
"Ah, that, haha..." Hayden glanced at the knife held in Saul's right hand and swallowed, "I, I just think that body looks like It's a little weird, I wanted to come over and see if there is anything you need my help with."
Thor smiled.
"Thank you so much. I'm very busy here. Can you help me move it in?" "
Look at me..." He showed his thin body to Hayden, "I'm young and I don't have I don't have the strength to move something so heavy."
Hayden's smile froze on his face, he was just being polite!
But looking at the bone chopping knife that Thor still held tightly in his right hand, Hayden still compromised.
He climbed out of the portal step by step, "Haha, you are too young, are you ten years old? Senior, come and help me move." "Wait a minute."
Thor suddenly threw the bone chopping knife back to the tool table. It made a jingling sound, then turned back to Hayden and smiled brightly.
"Senior, I'm kidding, are you really coming here like this? Go back quickly, this is not a passage that a living person should take. I can do these jobs myself, otherwise the instructor may misunderstand that I am not suitable for this job."
"Ah? Well, you can call me if you need it." Hayden froze in the middle and had no choice but to retreat.
Thor stood at the transmission port, lifted the tassel, and watched coldly as Hayden retreated step by step, and finally retreated to the room where he was.
The tassel on the opposite side fell down, blocking the light that entered the passage there.
This passage is three meters long, about one meter wide and high. It is surrounded by thick walls that separate the two rooms.
If it weren't for the passage in the middle, the sound insulation of the room must be very good.
Thor put down the tassel and looked up. The candlelight on the portal had turned dim again.
That’s it for today’s work.
But there are still some finishing touches to be done.
So push the big box under the workbench to the conveyor belt, then pick up the bone chopping knife again and scrape off the meat pieces on the conveyor belt little by little.
A round, rumbling object fell along the edge of the conveyor belt, bounced on the ground a few times, and finally rolled all the way to the door, where it was blocked.
what is that?
Thor walked to the door, knife in hand, ready to strike.
After getting closer, he took a closer look and found that the thing on the ground seemed to be... an eyeball?
The hard-cover book flew up again and appeared in front of Thor. Thor was immediately on guard.
[June 24th, 314th year of the New Moon Calendar,
today is a really good day. You escaped the attack of a cunning enemy, sent him to where he should be, and gained a pupil of phantom sound.
It's really strange, why can eyes talk?
Or do you think your eyes are talking? ]
Saul didn’t quite understand the contents of the hard cover book this time.
Didn't he understand how he died?
Eye? Hallucination?
Will his eyes crack? Does the mouth disappear, or will it be sealed?
And Saul noticed that behind the date on the hard cover book, there was a sudden description of the weather, which he remembered never having before.
Just when Thor was frozen in place, not knowing what choice to make, the hard-cover book flew back to his left shoulder.
But he didn't do anything?
Thor's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought to himself: "Isn't this a death notice? Is it an identification technique similar to an item introduction?"
Thor turned his head and looked at the hard cover book on his left shoulder, "Man, have you upgraded?"
It's a pity that the hard-cover book is quiet and still ignores him.
"Well, you should give yourself an introduction first."
Despite the speculation, Thor remained vigilant, clenched the bone chopping knife in his hand, and slowly approached the eyeball in front of the door.
Judging from the performance of the hard cover book, the content just now should not be a death notice, but this is only Saul's own speculation, and he cannot relax his vigilance just yet.
Until Thor walked to the eyeball and slowly squatted down, took out a box, and used the back of a knife to poke the eyeball in, the hard-cover book did not come out to warn him again.
Sol stood up and sealed the box, feeling very excited.
Although he had escaped death warnings many times, the gains each time were only to temporarily save his life. Unexpectedly, there was an extra drop today.
Unfortunately, before Thor noticed the abnormality in his eyes, the hard-cover book didn't give him any hints.
I wonder if it can be upgraded again in the future and become a radar that can actively explore?
Putting away the eyes of the phantom sound and the fantasy of the hard-cover book, Thor moved the muscles on his face to make himself look more gloomy.
Then, he held the bone chopping knife and pushed open the door of the corpse room.
Since arriving on the second floor of the East Tower, he has never explored the depths of the corridor.
He walked along the corridor. The corridor was still curved, but the viewing angle was wider than that on the tenth floor.
The lights on the second floor always seemed to be darker than elsewhere, and the further you went in, the darker they became.
At the end of the corridor, it was pitch black, and Thor couldn't see what was hiding behind the shadows.
After walking for more than ten steps, a second scarlet door appeared.
This should be the corpse room where the senior in charge of the second process is located.
Saul stepped forward and knocked on the door.
After a while, there was a sound from the door.
The door was opened a small crack.
Hayden's face appeared behind the crack of the door, and his body blocked the scene in the room.
"Senior, excuse me. My name is Sol. I am an apprentice who just entered the school a month ago. I'm really rude if I don't know my senior's name yet." "
I'm Hayden." Hayden pressed his hand tightly on the door, as if Ready to close the door at any time, "I became a first-level apprentice much earlier than you. What are you doing here?" "
I want to ask Senior Hayden, did you feel anything was wrong when you were handling the body just now?"
Hayden didn't He moved freely and said, "Ah, that, I think it's a little strange. But I didn't see anything wrong or valuable, so I just threw it over to you. Ha, I'll let you handle it. It's pretty good."
Saul stared straight at Hayden until the other party avoided his gaze and muttered in a low voice: "Well, I might have seen it wrong."
Saul grinned stiffly, "Then I'll have to do it again in the future. It’s too much trouble, senior.”
Saying goodbye to Hayden, he turned around and walked to the first corpse room.
Seeing Sol walking away, Hayden quickly closed the door.
As soon as the door closed, his expression changed, and he said in a ferocious low voice: "Why are you being cowardly to a new apprentice?"
Hayden's expression changed again, and he rubbed his hands uneasily, "Then, no, there is no need to have a conflict. From now on, We still have time to get along."
On the other side, Thor placed the bone chopping knife in the shadow of the corridor.
He was using a knife to deal with Hayden, but he couldn't do this when meeting Senior Byron.
He rubbed his face, and his gloomy face became polite again.
"Dong dong dong."
The same scarlet door slowly opened, and the light poured out from the house. A woman only half a head taller than Thor stood at the door.
Thor was startled.
"I'm here to see Senior Byron. Who are you?"
The woman half-closed her eyes and said in a calm voice, "Byron has reached the age of Li Ta and has gone back to pack his things."
"Li Ta?" He immediately forgot his original purpose and asked in shock, "Do we have to leave the tower when we reach a certain age?"
