Chapter 253 – The Second Golden Book Page
Chapter 253 – The Second Golden Book Page
(Chapter order adjusted) However, Sol’s smug smile didn’t last long.
When he flicked open the title page and unsurprisingly saw the first golden book page, his brows furrowed slightly.
“This golden page is still not responding. Is it because I can’t manipulate it yet?”
Sol tried several methods, but the golden book page did not give a single bit of feedback.
“Forget it, let’s first see if there are any other changes in the pages of the book behind it, within the space of consciousness.”
Saul was ready to take a look at the part of the white book pages.
When the diary first appeared in front of his eyes, it was the one that flipped directly to the middle part and the text began to appear.
Saul hadn’t seen the part before that.
He was a little curious, if the white pages in the first half of the diary also had contents, would they contain the experiences of its previous owner?
However, when he gently turned over the first page, his eyes filled with curiosity and awe were suddenly fixed.
“This? Why is there another golden page?” Saul fell into a stupor as he looked at the second page that appeared.
He was pretty sure that after seeing the golden book page for the first time, since he couldn’t determine the purpose of the page for the time being, he let his diary turn the page to look at the newly obtained half black book page.
During that page flip, the next sheet of the golden book page was clearly a plain white book page.
So where did this golden page come from? And when did it appear in the diary?
“Now not only do I still not understand the purpose of the golden book page, but there is also an inexplicably extra page …… When did this page appear?”
He closed his eyes and recalled his recent use of the diary.
“Before, I didn’t pay special attention to the diary turning pages, so it’s possible that a second page appeared very early on and I didn’t notice it. But this golden book page is so mysterious, it’s impossible that it just randomly added one.”
Sol recalled the scene when the golden book page first appeared.
The soul storm, the deep sea that appeared after the coma, the huge sun that could be traversed overhead ……
Despite the heavy visions, the root of it was that nervous man, Victor.
No, it’s Chicken Wire ……
“Almost forgot what his name was.” Thor rubbed his forehead, “Oh, it’s Kismet.”
“Right,” Saul suddenly remembered something, something he hadn’t paid too much attention to, something that even the Tower Master had already overlooked!
“That guy, he sent me a letter once.”
The letter, which was written in a cloudy manner, disappeared completely after Saul read it.
“The appearance of the first golden book page is definitely related to Kismet, and I’m afraid this second one won’t be able to escape either.”
Saul thought that there was a high possibility that the second golden book page was also from Kismet’s hand.
“After I obtained the first golden book page, that guy’s attitude …… seems to have produced some changes.” Since he had this guess, Sol immediately began to recall the details related to Kismet.
“So that letter he wrote to me later wasn’t just a mere provocation? If he was really trying to send me the second page then I’m afraid he also knew about the existence of the diary.”
“I still know too little about him, it remains inappropriate to make contact for the time being.”
Even though the second book page might have been sent by Kismet, Saul was still unable to determine the other party’s purpose at this point.
However, associating it with the other party’s acting style of always using other people’s hands to create death, Saul still thought that he had to be cautious.
Who knew if there was a bigger hidden secret behind this gift.
Putting Kismet’s purpose aside for the time being, Saul continued to study the two pages.
He gently tugged on this, and the golden pages were the same touch as the last time he touched them on the surface of the sea. Both were soft like a baby’s skin. But no matter how hard Saul tried, he could not leave any trace on the paper.
And the connection of the pages was unbroken, as if this diary originally had these two pages.
“Heh, no clue at all. But then again, even though the diary is called a diary, the words all appear on the pages on their own, and I didn’t write them myself at all. If only I could leave my handwriting on it one day. Wouldn’t I be able to control the lives and deaths of other people then?”
Saul began to YA to ease his somewhat frustrated mood at the moment.
“Death wizard diary, is it because I haven’t become a death wizard yet? Or is it because I lack a pen that can leave writing on it?”
Saul shook his head and finally gave up as he flipped through the pages once more, the next one was to be a white page.
While the hand gold pages should be worth more than the white pages, the gold pages also meant uncontrollable, and more surprises. The next white book page really appeared on the text.
And they were words that Saul had never seen before as he flipped through the diary.
I wondered if the diary had intentionally blocked it out.
However, it was surprising that Saul did not recognize any of these words.
Just looking at the format of them, it was the same format as the diary he had seen.
Saul quickly flipped backward, and the text behind him was basically unrecognizable as well.
Not only that, but some of the text was shaped strangely, and some of it would vaguely feel like there was someone walking around them as they viewed it.
But when he stopped observing and looked up in all directions, the people walking around disappeared again.
Saul lowered his head again, and this time instead of observing the words on the white pages on his own, he quickly flipped back through them.
About every few pages, the font on the journal changed.
If each text corresponded to a diary holder, then this diary had really gone through quite a few hands.
Not only that, Saul also realized that the last page of each type of handwriting was basically a very short sentence.
For some reason, upon seeing these words, Saul subconsciously guessed the meaning of what was written above.
“You’re dead.”
“It seems like the successive owners of the Death Wizard’s Diary basically didn’t have a good ending.”
Finally, he turned to the first page that belonged to him.
This Death Sorcerer’s Diary pushed Saul onto a new path, but at the same time, it also plunged him into a deeper entanglement.
Keep flipping back ……
Flipped for ages ……
“Uh, one thing to be proud of. The few people ahead of me in the current position don’t use as many pages as I do combined. Don’t any of them do experiments? Or are none of them actually wizards?”
Turning to the last page, it was the diary’s reminder about the Seed of Evil Thought.
However, when Saul flipped back again, he realized that the obviously thick white pages at the back had all flipped over at once, and what appeared in front of him became black pages.
It seemed that the diary did not want to let Saul know how many blank pages it still had left.
Or there is no end to the blank pages.
“Each black book page represents a person’s consciousness. This is my space of consciousness, but the black book pages didn’t turn into real human forms like the souls absorbed by Morton. It should be the diary that changed their form.”
“But since the diary can absorb other people’s consciousnesses to form black book pages, but then there’s no way to replenish the soul energy consumed……. Is it possible to reverse the process?”
Sol thought as he cupped a page in his hand.
He felt that he could try it with the Hermann book page.
First, he said in his mind, “Let Herman return to normal consciousness”, but the diary did not respond.
Saul tried to use his mental power to control the black pages and transmit his commands.
But it still failed.
He furrowed his brows, “Consciousness world, there is no response instead of me controlling it with my consciousness. If my existence is consciousness itself, then ……”
With a slight force from his fingers, the black book page was actually ripped off in one piece by him.
Subsequently, the black book page began to burn slightly, and the mental fluctuations transmitted back to Sol’s brain began to be unstable.
It was like a balloon that was about to explode.
Saul threw the pages of the book out in one go.
The pages landed on the stone platform and instantly swelled up, becoming bigger and longer, and even their appearance was dyed with vibrant colors.
In just a few breaths of effort, the black book page unexpectedly turned into Herman’s appearance!
