The Mad Wizard’s strength wasn’t strong, only at Apostle Level.

Rogel didn’t spend much effort to restrain her and attempted to communicate with her.

However, she might have done some experiment that caused her Spirit to have issues; there was no way to communicate normally, as she would only giggle and drool with a vacant expression.

Indeed, she was completely mad.

This left Rogel and the others puzzled.

"How could she become like this?"

Mira waved her hand in front of her face, seeing no reaction, she couldn’t help but wonder.

"Probably killed too many people and got heavenly retribution." Noemi shrugged, recalling the scene of heads floating in the air was a bit nauseating to her.

"Let’s split up and look around; we might find something."

Rogel suggested.

Everyone responded and began searching.

This was the Mad Wizard’s lair; searching carefully would certainly yield some clues.

And Rogel soon found a clue.

A notebook and a ritual array with an extinguished Purple Candle at its center.

[Purple Candle]

[Type: Ritual Material]

[Explanation: Made from the spirit bone powder of a special Extraordinary Monster, it has the power to communicate with spirits when burned.]

Rogel quickly began flipping through the notebook, examining its contents.

[Experiment Day One, the experiment goal is ’Death’s Descent,’ but there is no progress. I first tried using a medium, but it had no Effect. However, I will not give up, for my Taiqi...]

[Experiment Day Two, the experiment goal is ’Death’s Descent,’ a slight lead. My previous attempts were wrong, perhaps I should try a new approach...]

[Experiment Day Three, the experiment goal is ’Death’s Descent’...]

[...]

This is a notebook, not a diary, seemingly recording the Mad Wizard’s experiment notes.

Although Rogel could easily understand the text she wrote, he didn’t know the specific meanings of the various terms she mentioned.

This thing was likely meant for her own reference only.

Indeed, who writes a diary earnestly?

Having an experiment notebook was already commendable.

"It’s a bit hard to understand... What Death’s Descent, does she want to die? Or is it to perform some special ritual?"

"Then why didn’t she die, but instead went mad?"

"Strange..."

Rogel rubbed his chin, his mind filled with questions.

Besides the experiment notebook, he found many strange things.

For instance, some Monster organs soaked in green jars, unknown Potions, and even some ancient books—essentially the elements of an Evil Wizard.

[Lab Fifty-Seven, the experiment goal is ’Death’s Descent,’ perhaps not enough death. I need to set some traps to catch some unlucky people, they make contributions, and Taiqi and I will thank them...]

"Taiqi? Is that her husband or lover or something?"

"Anyhow, their relationship is very close, and it seems highly likely that she’s doing all this because of Taiqi."

"So... is Death’s Descent an attempt to resurrect this person?"

Many speculations surged in Rogel’s mind at once.

Soon, his conclusion was confirmed.

The experiment diary was nearing its end.

This time, the Mad Wizard didn’t even start with the usual "Experiment Day."

[I’ve uncovered a huge secret!]

[If those guys knew about this, they’d go crazy. Who would have thought that the incomprehensibly great being... (chaotic scribbles)...]

Rogel scratched his face.

Damn it, couldn’t you delay going mad for a few seconds?

Who is that incomprehensibly great being? What happened to him?

Rogel felt a bit speechless and quite annoyed; this guy chose precisely the crucial moment to lose it, rendering it very frustrating.

He hastily flipped through the remaining pages.

Then discovered it was just nonsensical scribbles, with some doodles like a child’s random drawings.

However, Rogel patiently went through it, trying to find some clues.

As it turned out, his patience paid off.

[I saw it... I saw it...]

[Dear... you were indeed there...]

Then, there were no further entries, just rambling scribbles.

"...What is this?"

Rogel was utterly confused.

After contemplating for a moment, he stopped thinking and called everyone to observe together.

Including, naturally, the Mad Wizard. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

But she was now chewing on her fingers, giggling foolishly.

No one paid attention to her; they all started discussing the notebook’s content, speculating on the Mad Wizard’s purpose.

"It’s obvious, she wanted to summon some Evil God and brought madness upon herself."

Noemi concluded, nodding in satisfaction, praising her own wit.

...It’s plausible but unfounded, just pure speculation.

Mira and Yas also shared their views, though their thoughts were not much different from Rogel’s.

However, after a moment of silence, Lina suddenly spoke, "Perhaps she’s trying to find someone named Taiqi in some other place?"

Rogel quickly reacted: "You mean... Death’s Descent may not refer to death descending upon our world, but her descending somewhere through death?"

"Then the later line ’I found it’ makes sense." Mira’s eyes also lit up.
