Chapter 25: Diary
After determining that his actions did not activate the other traps hidden in the workshop, Al set out to investigate the seven newly discovered corpses
"There are seven corpses in total, and judging from the stiffness of the corpses, six of them have just died, and the remaining corpses are highly waxed and have been dead for some years...... (rummaging through the belongings of the corpse and identifying the deceased) As expected, the people who just died were all from the Hellfire Club. Bai Che, I didn't expect you to be planted here, you are really wise, you were given a pile of furniture, and you died in extreme fright...... No, he had scratched his own throat and died, and his fingernails were full of his own skin tissue...... The other five fatal injuries were also self-inflicted, and the real cause of their death was...... The six of them had glutamate levels 500 times higher than normal ones in the limbic system of the brain, and they were all scared to death by their own hallucinations, which were poisoned by some kind of toxin...... There's something poisonous in the air? Why didn't my biochemical alarm go off? Is it some new type of undisclosed fear gas? Fortunately, I'm a machine and I'm immune to all toxins...... Sex of the deceased, female, age, over 80 years old, cause of death, broken neck (broken neck bone), old lady died of murder...... The gender and age of the wax corpse match [Agatha Harkness], she will not be the target of my trip?...... (Search) is dressed in ordinary clothes (all gray clothes), nothing special, there is nothing else on the body that can identify him except for a Mithril key (put the key away), there are no wands, scrolls, or spellcasting mediums, not like a wizard, have you entered a dead end?...... Forget it, anyway, I'm not here to solve the case, but to find [Agatha Harkness], it's not advisable to spend too much time on this unidentified wax corpse, it's better to investigate the workshop and see if I can find any new clues......" - began to investigate the Witchcraft Workshop
A quarter of an hour later, Al stepped out of the ritual room
Al (belly): "I didn't find anything in the witchcraft station just now, let's see what valuable information can be found in the inner room...... Single bed?Is this a bedroom?[Agatha Harkness] Not only does she live here?What a weirdo, she also installs traps in her home......"—her eyes were drawn to a dusty bedside table
Al: "The furniture on the outside is all "guards" who have been cast [Chaos Magic], and the furniture inside is really for her daily life, and it won't suddenly "come to life", so there will be a lot of dust on it...... (Coming forward to investigate) locked the ...... (Attempted to smash it open with brute force, failed) Comes with sorcery protection and requires a key...... Bingo (using the key he retrieved from the wax corpse) bingo and opened the ...... A cabinet of books...... Spell book, witchcraft cheats, or real records?...... No, it's all diaries, spanning more than sixty years......" - reading from the beginning
Excerpt from the diary
April 6, 1951, fine
Shi Yàn is in a predicament, and the [Dimensional Passage] leading to the higher dimension is hindered by some unknown force, and he can't go any further, and he has to find another way, depressed. ......
July 8, 1951, cloudy
In the past three months, I have tried a variety of methods, and even asked my patron for help, but I was sure that there was no solution, and this [dimensional passage] became a pocket with only one exit. ⊙﹏⊙b...... It's laborious and a pity to fill it up and scrap it, and it's not bad to throw some of the hazardous waste generated by it as a trash can......
July 10, 1951, heavy rain
The ghost weather, the plan to go out swimming and relax was reimbursed, and I had to set a new research plan in the real room. This time I'm going to go back to tradition, do what a wizard should do, and never do any more useless work, to hell with any new world, any new power!!!I'm going to pursue something more realistic! But it also requires more material assistance and trouble for the patron. ...,......
December 24, 1951, snow
Nathaniel Essex (Nathaniel_Es**)This bastard actually kicked me and stopped funding my research!!And specially chose to bring my new partner to tell me this decision today, is this the Christmas gift you prepared for me?What's so good about that red-haired and blue-eyed vixen, you chose her as your new partner, and you are angry...... Look, I'm going to burn you dogs and men sooner or later!......
January 18, 1952, fine
It was a nice day to look outside the window and look at the kitchen at home...... I'm running out of food......
January 20, 1952, fine
I can't go on like this, it's unheard of for a wizard to starve to death at home, I don't want to be "famous in history" like this, I have to work hard to solve the problem of eating. The goal...... Let's choose Deutsche Bank (Aegis) and Société Générale (Illuminati), who made both of them look down on me back then, and treat me as a swaggering charlatan, this time by the way to "take revenge"......
February 12, 1952, overcast
Aegis and the Illuminati are really not easy to mess with, although they have not been caught, they must avoid the limelight and cannot show their heads for the time being......
February 22, 1952, fine
Today is a magical day, the bottom of the "dimensional trash can" was leaked by hazardous waste, and the passage was opened by mistake, which is incredible, I took a big shit luck......
February 30, 1952, Chaos
Today, February 30th, is a day when there is no zài in the low-latitude world, but it is the day when I make a contract with the gods of the higher dimensions. After today, I, Yageta, will be reborn as the Grey Witch - Agatha Harkness......!
Al: "These are [Agatha Harkness]'s diaries, so that the identity of the wax corpse can be confirmed, and there is no need to worry about her threatening to "restart the universe project". —Contact Gordon immediately
Al (communicator): "Hey, hey...... What? You are now participating in the "quadripartite consultation" and it is inconvenient for you to speak? It doesn't matter, just listen to me. Agatha Harkness's threat has been lifted, and she is long dead...... Well, it's up to the four of you to save Wanda, don't count on her...... The old lady did not die of natural causes, she was murdered...... I don't know who killed me yet, and it needs to be investigated...... Well, I'll let you know as soon as the result is available. —hang up
Al: "Alright, the boring errand (search) mission is complete, and we can start doing some fun work......" - reaching for the next journal and flipping through it quickly
Me (voiceover): "Al, your so-called "fun work" is to look through other people's diaries and dig up their privacy? That's low-level fun. ”
