Chapter 148 Return to the Wizarding World
Matthew slowly turned his head and looked again at the eye meditation image.
The whispers in his ears rang out again, and he felt an irrepressible urge to meditate using this meditation picture.
However, at that moment, the system notification sounded in my mind again.
【Name: Meditation Picture】

"call!"
Matthew suddenly woke up and let out a breath.
"This is terrible!"
When he came in, he clearly intended to turn his back to the meditation diagram and not look at it again.
However, even so, Matthew was still bewitched by the meditation diagrams!
His thoughts were unknowingly influenced.
Matthew connects the method of dispelling the poisonous fog and leaving this world with the meditation on this eye-shaped image.
Under this influence, he actually turned around and looked at the meditation picture again.
Once he came to his senses, he realized how ridiculous his idea was.
He would never have connected the two if he hadn't been misled.
"It seems that even with my back turned, I'm still captivated by that meditation image!"
"Thank goodness for the system—"
"If it weren't for the system notification, I probably would have already started meditating!"
"That meditation picture is obviously not a good thing!"
"I absolutely cannot use it for meditation!"
"But how am I supposed to get out of here?"
At that moment, Matthew's gaze swept to the entrance of the hall, and he noticed that the black poisonous fog had reached the edge of the entrance and was about to spread into the hall.
"What should we do?"
Matthew's thoughts raced.
After much thought, it seems that meditating on that eye meditation image is the only method.
That seemed to be the only breakthrough point in this castle.
He couldn't think of a better way.
Matthew slowly turned around again and looked at the meditation image.
The whispers in his ear rang out again, indescribable murmurs lingering around him.
His gaze swept over the details of the meditation diagram, and he gradually became engrossed in it.
"Meditate! Meditate! Meditate!"
Matthew felt a sudden urge to meditate.

Matthew woke up again with a start.
"That meditation image is really strange!"
"I was bewitched by it again just now—"
"Unconsciously, I once again connected the method of leaving this place with the mural of eyes that I was mural in meditation —"
Matthew shook his groggy head, his eyes scanning the items in the hall rapidly.
【Name: Display Shelf】
【Name: Railing】
【Name: Long Table】
【————】
A series of notification sounds echoed in his mind like thunderclaps.
This kept Matthew alert and prevented him from being seduced by the mural of the eye.
And so, while keeping the system prompts in his mind, he quickly thought of a way to deal with the situation.
At this moment, the black poisonous mist climbed up little by little and had reached the entrance of the hall, continuing to spread in his direction.
Matthew carefully recalled Todd's words.
This may be Matthew's only chance of leaving this world.
According to Todd, he suddenly lost consciousness and fell into a coma due to the onset of his Mad Wolf bloodline. After waking up, he returned to the Winter Realm.
"Could the method of leaving this place be related to consciousness?"
"Lost consciousness————"
"Falling into a coma—"
Matthew muttered to himself, when suddenly an idea flashed through his mind.
"if----"
Just then, he turned his head to look at the entrance of the hall, where the black poisonous fog had already entered the hall from the corridor.
It is slowly climbing towards Matthew's direction, little by little.
It won't be long before the entire hall is covered.
Matthew was perfectly lucid at that moment, with system notifications constantly ringing in his mind.
"There's no time to hesitate."
"We have no choice but to try anything, even if it's a dead end."
He took a deep breath and quickly walked to a corner of the hall away from the poisonous fog, where he sat down cross-legged.
Matthew immediately closed his eyes and quickly entered his mental space.
He actually started meditating!
However, the image being meditated on is not the eye meditation image, but the image of forgetting!
Matthew's thoughts raced, and he manipulated his mental energy into a carving knife, quickly sketching out the three irregular shapes on the forgotten diagram simultaneously.
The mental space suddenly trembled.
Matthew lost contact with the outside world, and his mind once again entered a deeper space of spiritual energy.
Just then, a huge rift suddenly appeared in the sky above the castle.
This crack was many times larger than any Matthew had previously observed.
If Matthew were to observe the crack at this moment, he would find that it was not pitch black, but rather a giant eyeball had appeared.
The eyeball was composed of countless twisted lines, giving it an eerie and sinister feel.
At this moment, its eyes were fixed on the castle, its gaze seemingly penetrating inside, as if searching for something.
However, Matthew, who was meditating, had lost all contact with the outside world and had no idea what was happening outside.
And so, an unknown amount of time passed.
Matthew suddenly opened his eyes, feeling a slight increase in his mental strength.
"I'm fine!"
He looked around and found that the black poisonous fog had disappeared.
And now he found himself in a forest.
This grove was where Matthew was before he entered that strange world.
"I'm back!"
"Looks like I guessed right—"
"Leaving that world is related to one's own consciousness."
"As long as one's consciousness is severed from that world, one can leave it."
The Burning Hand, infused with eerie eye runes, is the key to entering that world.
Meditation using the Forgotten Image is a way to leave that world.
Matthew has now mastered the means to freely enter and exit that bizarre world.
Then he can enter that world to explore it at any time in the future.
There are many puzzling aspects to this world.
For example, the abyss monument, the castle and the eye meditation diagram, and the towering black tower that reaches into the clouds.
There must be many secrets hidden inside.
If we can continue exploring that world, we might gain unexpected rewards.
However, the benefits and risks go hand in hand.
The sheer number of stone golems alone is beyond Matthew's current capabilities.
And that alluring meditation image of eyes—perhaps there are many more similar things in that world.
With Matthew's current strength, exploring that strange world is still a bit of a stretch.
He shook his head, suppressing the thought for the time being.
"Let's wait until I become a full-fledged wizard before making any plans."
Matthew strode toward the Todd family's country estate.
About ten minutes later —
Matthew finally returned to the manor.
Instead of going through the main gate, he climbed over the manor wall and entered.
Matthew planned to go straight back to his room.
But as he walked, he noticed that there seemed to be fewer people in the manor today.
Just as he was about to open his door, he finally found a servant.
Matthew grabbed the servant and asked, "Why are there so few people in the manor today?"
