Chapter 313: Memories of the Corpse
Thor clenched the puppet in his hand, its red eyes now completely black.
It sensed that there were other psychic forces influencing it!
Thor immediately looked around.
"There can't be anyone else here. And it only took a few minutes from the time I got the puppet to the time its eyes turned black. His expression became more serious, "The change is in these few minutes. ”
His gaze swept from the test bench, candlelight, and corpses one by one, and finally ...... It fell on Nick in front of him.
"Agu, have you been staring at the puppet?"
Agu: [I'm sorry master, but I was just observing Nick's corpse when I stumbled upon some unusual mental fluctuations in you. That's not quite the same as your previous fluctuations. 】
"When I was testing the other corpses, you were also observing, right?"
Agu: [Yes master.] 】
"It's almost certain that it's Nick who makes the puppet change." Thor withdrew his gaze and stared at Nick's corpse in front of him.
Nick died because of a failed promotion, and his body was not much damaged. And there are obviously few materials available when processing, so his appearance hasn't changed much.
Thor asked the diary to release the Lost Soul Flower sigil, and the already faint imprint began to flicker at a certain frequency.
"The maintainer could have been a dead man." Thor didn't immediately move away from the signal source, on the contrary, he leaned in, "If it weren't for the fact that I had multiple means to discover the spiritual power exerted on me, who would guard against a corpse standing in the storeroom?" ”
】
"Nick's body must have been tampered with. The method of maintenance is to be fixed inside the corpse as a signal transmitter. The other party knew that the corpses in the corpse room would not generally be dissected twice, and of course, this was not a secret to wizards above the third level of apprenticeship. ”
Thor originally thought that after discovering the maintainer of the seal, he would be able to find the traces of the enemy, but he didn't expect that the other party came to an intermediary agent, and the real controller was still hiding behind the scenes.
Morton: [Master, I suggest that you do not touch this corpse, otherwise it may be detected by the person manipulating the corpse.] 】
Thor nodded, "But if the impact of the sigil that the other party has inflicted on me is an action that will manifest itself in the near future, then my unaffected performance will also be exposed. ”
Agu: [In that case, we'd better be able to figure out what the message is inside this sigil.] 】
Thor sat on the edge of the sarcophagus and looked at Nick's corpse, "Since the ability to maintain is given to a corpse, considering that the corpse cannot adapt to improvisation, and the factors of being affected by the external anomalous force field, the signal it releases should not be very complicated. Maybe we can try to figure it out. ”
Thor immediately put several consciousness bodies on standby, and he was going to try to charge the mark to amplify its signal feedback and thus catch the anomalous spirit body fluctuations.
Xiaozao hurriedly handed him a pen and paper, as well as some instruments to test his mental power.
Naturally, the consciousness body does not use instruments and pen and paper, and can only memorize the gaps on their own.
Next, Thor carefully shifted the sigil from the side of the diary to the tentacles, and then moved the spirit tentacles a little closer to Nick's corpse.
As the mark approached, the fluctuations of Thor's own mental power gradually became apparent.
Thor didn't care about the others, and tried to summarize the rules first. However, mental power fluctuations are not a language after all, and it feels more like a code to Thor.
If you don't have a codebook, it's very difficult to crack it.
He could only start with the emotions contained in the mental fluctuations, after all, the mental power fluctuations were not just cold and emotionless codes.
But the same emotion can also mean different information, just like looking at the picture without looking at the text, the understanding of the content may be very different.
"Wait! Picture? Thor was cranky, and really remembered a straightforward way of analyzing.
He put down the pen and paper in his hand, leaned down and looked down to take a closer look at Nick's corpse.
"For the record, Nick died after I left the Wizard's Tower, but the body was actually just delivered, less than two days ago. There were a lot of people who might have been exposed to Nick before. For example, Mentor Kaz, who was in charge of the autopsy, and his assistants, as well as the people who transported the bodies halfway, and even Kukin, who took over the work of the treasury. If during this period, Nick's body is as active as the corpses, does it also have the ability to automatically play back the picture like the corpses? ”
It's just that after all, it's been a while, and Thor isn't sure if the body can still "recall" images from that long ago.
But that doesn't stop him from trying.
Thor made the decision to pay attention to the diary in the spirit body for the first time.
"Very good, Brother Diary has no objection."
Thor sat directly on the ground, ignoring the surprise of several consciousness bodies, and activated his mental power, imitating his meditation method erosion map, and walked counterclockwise.
Soon, he felt his body light, and when he looked down, he saw that he had come out of his body.
This time the out-of-body experience was even easier than ever. His body after the second transformation is like an intelligent system, and it is extremely intimate and takes the initiative to help him get out of his body.
Thor raised his hands to his eyes, confirming that his out-of-body spirit was still the same as in his previous life. Thoughts swirled through his mind, and his translucent body quickly deformed, and he became Thor again.
He stood up and floated above Nick's body, feeling the faint attraction coming from below, and without resisting the force, he went with the flow and burrowed into Nick's body.
Boom –
It was as if he had suddenly teleported a few thousand meters, and the picture in front of him was moving rapidly. Dots become lines, and lines become distorted images.
Everything has lost its original appearance.
Saul did not panic, he struggled to distinguish the image in front of him that was distorted by the accelerated motion, and tried to find meaningful people and things in this abstract interpretation.
Finally, Thor looked into one place, and some of the features he felt familiar to him.
There's even a sense of intimacy.
"That's where I've been in contact for a long time!"
Thor and Nick's lives don't intersect much, and even fewer of the places Nick has visited before and after his death can feel familiar to him.
This is undoubtedly a breakthrough!
Thor let his mind focus on the familiar image. However, because the picture has been distorting and rotating rapidly, it is still very difficult to find the most real answer from that familiar feature.
"The distortion of the picture is because it is moving fast for me. In order to see the image above, I need to be relatively still with it. ”
To put it simply, it is very difficult to stand on the platform and observe the scene inside the fast-moving carriage, but if you board the train station, it is easy to observe the inside of the carriage.
Thor narrowed his eyes, shaking his spirit body again. His gaze quickly followed the little picture.
Because it is an active acceleration rotation, Thor's mental power is very burdensome. If it weren't for the fact that the diary had become his locator, supporting him to maintain his consciousness, Thor would not have been able to make such an attempt.
Finally, Thor saw the picture in front of him.
He saw a ceiling with runes carved above him, a console with various props on his side, and a conveyor belt covered in black leather underneath.
Everything he sees is not confined to the eyes of the corpse.
This was the feedback given to the body by the environment in which the corpse was at the time, and it also fed back into Thor's mind, and coupled with his familiarity with the place, the complementarity of memories finally formed a clear picture.
This is the third corpse!
