Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 111 A gold coin

Tang left plenty of spirit insects for the secret puppet, and planned to find time and opportunity to prepare a magic potion for the 'puppet' later.

A Sequence 5 Wraith was not enough; he needed a higher-ranked Marionette.

Sequence 4 of the alien pathway, this kind of puppet can obviously do more after being equipped with the 'bionic puppet' module.

The higher the status, the more protection can be provided, which is safer for the father who will completely lose his memory in the early stage and can only rely on his past arrangements step by step.

"As long as I have the puppet's Beyonder characteristics or the puppet's potion ingredients, I can use the newly opened 'Repair Petri Dish' to directly transform the secret marionette into a Sequence 4 Demigod, without having to actively search for a secret marionette of the same level."

"Of course, if equipped with the corresponding magical items, the secret marionette can also exert the power of a demigod."

"Beyond characteristics make it easier to create magical items, but the existence of the 'Repair Petri Dish' allows me to possess a demigod-level marionette with self-awareness. Both have their advantages."

After being promoted to Sequence 4, Tang was able to control a Sequence 3 Devil in addition to the Sequence 4 War Bishop under the Theater Core.

"Two demigod-level marionettes, well, if it's just to deal with ordinary dangers, even one more demigod marionette will boost the magician's essential power. Two demigod-level marionettes are definitely not shabby for a magician."

However, if you are facing a Sequence 1 Time Worm, this configuration is a bit unacceptable.

"As for my father, can you just make a puppet and go to the Southern Continent to find the demigod from the Rose School?"

This wasn't impossible, but he had to be wary of the Bound God and the Mother Tree of Desire. The Rose School's restraint would be advantageous to him, and he could also leverage the Balam Empire and the Church of the God of Death's influence in the southern continent to attempt to contact Renette Tinicole, the leader of the Rose School and a Sequence 2 Ancient Evil.

The Southern Continent was his hometown. It might be feasible for him to go back and look for the people from the former Church of the God of Death, now the Spiritual Cult, and then use his father's influence to get a few Sequence 3 Ferrymen to serve as secret puppets.

The current leader of the Spirit Cult is likely the High Priest of the Church of the God of Death, Haitel. He received a divine gift, becoming an angel. He is also a Sequence 2 Archon of Death, a powerhouse of the same level as his father, and in far better condition.

So, since they both belong to the camp of the God of Death, he and his father should still have a certain connection after Salinger's death, but his father's status is obviously higher than that of the high priest.

After all, the high priest can be replaced, and the direct bloodline of the god of death is by no means numerous.

"Father has been back to the Southern Continent before. It's probably related to this High Priest. Hmm, you can try it next time you go to the Southern Continent. You can also try to obtain the Sequence 3 potion from Owen's Death Path there."

After taking a quick look at his father's current environment, Tang exchanged places with the insect marionette in the theater and returned to the theater that never closes.

When he left, there was another star in the planetarium in his hand.

It was shattered, desolate and silent, as if it had been completely shattered by some terrifying force, with only half of the huge star remaining.

Surrounding the sun-like crystal planet in the center, several stars are inextricably linked to each other.

Tang breathed a sigh of relief. Now, he needed to wait for the mission to be completed and obtain the Book of the Dead.

"The uniqueness of the Death Path and the issue of my father's spirit cannot be rushed. My Sequence level is not high enough. I need to reach Sequence 1 at least before I can attempt it."

Before dealing with Amon, they need to search for high-ranking and high-sequence puppets to expand the number of the Trickster puppets; they need to split the spirit worms, create the spell of yesterday's reappearance, forge the "bionic puppet" module, and deploy puppets all over the world to ensure their own safety.

Tang wrote down on paper everything he needed to do in the near future.

"At the same time, I need to talk to my future self. Euclidean space is clearly the key to my position against Amon. Assuming the great being above the spiritual realm behind me cannot target the Sequence 0 Fool or the Lord of Mysteries, the Knowledge Wilds and my future self are my biggest trump cards."

"It's just a part of the laws of the 'Brass Book of Trunsost'. It's just a unique derivative. I'm afraid it can't completely restrict Amon's theft."

He took out a piece of parchment he had borrowed from the future, and the words on the parchment flowed like mercury.

It was not enough. He had tried to use this unique derivative to restrict the actions of the dark side gods before, but the existence of a single law still had great limitations. It was very likely that Amon would manipulate it in reverse and use the law to restrict his actions in an incomprehensible way.

After all, the derivatives of uniqueness cannot be compared with uniqueness itself. Amon has the uniqueness of the thief's path in his hand, plus two Sequence 1 Time Worm potions. I'm afraid he can completely steal the legal characters on the parchment and transform the restrictions into another situation that is beneficial to him.

This piece of paper alone can restrict Amon's clone, but it is far from enough when facing Amon's real body.

So I have to get something else.

Tang breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at his son.

"Tongzi, crush those Beyonder traits and use 'craftsmen' to make magical items." Tang said.

"Okay."

Tang still has some extraordinary characteristics at the demigod level, including the Sequence 4 Iron-Blooded Knight potion he obtained before, and the extraordinary characteristics he gained after smashing the stitched monster in the Never-Ending Theater.

Tang can take out 11 extraordinary characteristics of the demigod level at once.

Even in the Orthodox Church, if you include those "1" level seals, "0" level seals, and the demigods hiding behind the scenes, there are definitely not that many demigods in the Orthodox Church.

Sequence 4 is considered a high-end combat force in the extraordinary world. They are rare and powerful, and are an absolute military deterrent.

Tang's current private reserves can also compete with some secret organizations that emerged in the early Fourth Epoch.

"Turn all these Beyonder characteristics into magical items, and enhance their strength once again. Try to keep the Beyonder items as 'alive' as possible, and then intimidate them one by one to reduce the impact."

Tang did not dare to be careless at all when dealing with the person who might be Amon's true form.

As if remembering something, Tang suddenly recalled the gaze that came from a very distant place.

"If Amon's true form and that paranoid come together, I will most likely be facing two Angel Kings." This is the worst possible scenario.

Thinking of this, Tang asked the system, "How is the secret puppet finding someone?"

'41 children confirmed to have been abandoned or whose relatives have died, including 17 boys and 24 girls, the oldest 14 years old and the youngest 4 years old. Their identities have been confirmed through identification. They are not affected by extraordinary powers and are "normal". They have certain learning abilities and have not received systematic education in occult knowledge.'

Most of these orphans were children adopted by the town's priests, so it wasn't difficult for the puppets to take over.

Anyone who had been affected by the occult, or whose identification was distorted or incomplete, would be immediately excluded. Tang wasn't just wary of Amon; he was also wary of the old man, preventing him from sneaking in with a few Time Worms.

"But since we've reached a preliminary cooperation, Grandpa probably won't bother with what the Marionettes do."

"Search further, starting with children and moving upwards. Ambitious individuals, the elderly, women, even criminals, anyone willing to try can be approached secretly. In short, prioritize completing the mission and obtaining the Necronomicon first before considering other matters."

His current mission is not at Miskatonic University. He must first resolve external threats before he can develop steadily.

The Book of the Dead is currently the easiest way for Tang to get help.

This black magic book in the Cthulhu mythology, if all the contents recorded in it are true, it would be extremely terrifying and crazy knowledge in this world.

Tang stuffed the paper filled with words into the drawer, let out a breath, then entered the Euclid space and picked up the spell that reproduced yesterday.

As the ancient Hermetic language was chanted, the spell was activated and the fog of history spread again, as if it was endless and had no end.

Tang was not trying to borrow spirituality this time, so the fog of history spread particularly long.

"The reappearance of the talisman yesterday was a manifestation of the extraordinary power of the Sequence 3 Ancient Scholar. However, for most Beyonders, this talisman can only be used as an auxiliary. Only those high-ranking individuals who have suffered trauma and are still in a weak period can fully activate the talisman's power."

His past self was inevitably weaker than his present self, but he could plan what he needed from his future self.

It was still the eerie mausoleum, still the giant feathered serpent like an island, the illusory river flowing peacefully on the ground, the thread of the spirit became silent, but was awakened again, with layers of ancient tranquility.

Dead silence and eerieness are the unchanging tones of this mausoleum.

Tang Gaosheng raised his observation position and did not let the fog of history take him around in circles to see what good things his future self would have.

His purpose of using Yesterday's Reappearance this time was not to borrow, but to rely on Euclidean space and Yesterday's Reappearance Spell to understand the limits of what he could borrow at the moment.

This is quite critical, as it determines whether he has the ability to deal with the possible siege of the two angel kings, Amon himself and Adam, while clearing out Amon's clone.

"One is a kleptomaniac, the other is a paranoid. These brothers, no, these father and son are really difficult to deal with."

But he also has something to rely on.

His future self opened his eyes. This self, who was clearly already a high-ranking diviner, an absolute Sequence 1, and a mysterious servant skilled in fate grafting, extended his hand, as if he had anticipated this.

A gold coin appeared in the hand of the high-ranking person. Seeing the gold coin and the things wrapped around it, Tang's pupils trembled slightly, and he recognized what the gold coin was in an instant.

"what?"

It was a gold coin with a gray mist smell!
His spiritual intuition was triggered, and Tang instantly remembered the relevant content about this kind of gold coin in the original book.

"After Klein Moretti ascended to the Lord of Mysteries, did he leave behind gold coins that could enter the Lord of Mysteries' dreams and awaken his humanity?"

During the period when he borrowed spirituality, Klein Moretti had become the Lord of Mysteries?

The Goddess of Night didn't actually take action against the God of Death's uniqueness? Instead, he completed this step?

"After Klein became the Fool and the Lord of Mysteries, he indeed released a Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic. Therefore, my status remains Sequence 1... But there's another possibility. Is this something my future self borrowed from my even more distant future self?"

For example, the Fool paid in advance for the Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic?

Tang initially chose the Diviner Path, his ideal scenario being to obtain a Sequence 2 potion after advancing to Sequence 1, become the Fool with Xiao Ke, and thereby influence this Path and the adjacent Apprentice and Thief Paths. By then, Zaratul would be gone, Amon would have fallen to Sequence 2, and Mr. Men would also be gone. He, a Sequence 2, would then rely on Xiao Ke's status as the Lord of Mysteries to advance to Sequence 1.

By then, with the support of the Lord of Mysteries and the Wilderness of Knowledge, you will definitely be able to live a good life as long as you don't commit suicide.

He had no intention of advancing to Sequence 0 on this path, nor did he want to experience the will of the Celestial Sovereign. With Xiao Ke holding the fort, he could eat and drink as he pleased, which was much happier than sleeping suspended in the gray fog.

The subsequent change of ideas was to advance to Sequence 1, become a mysterious servant to handle the uniqueness of the path to death, and resolve the backup plan left by Salinger before the goddess took control of the uniqueness of death.

After Xiao Ke ascended to the throne of godhood, "the gifts bestowed by fate have already been marked with a price," allowing this new Lord of Mysteries to re-extract a Sequence 1 Servant of Mysteries. Like Pales Zoroaster, he transformed from a Sequence 1 Worm of Time into a Sequence 2 Trojan Horse of Fate. He would become a Miracle Worker again, remain at the Sequence 2 level, and then be promoted to Sequence 1 again. This was quite safe, the closest to true godhood, and equally influential.

The difference between the two lies in whether he will be promoted to a Sequence 1 Mystic Attendant.

Dealing with the uniqueness of the Death Path obviously requires the power of Sequence 1.

But...was this stage of myself before Xiao Ke became a god, or after he became a god?
A gold coin with the power of gray fog, my Sequence 1 self, is this real history, or is it something borrowed from my past self at a certain time period?
The moment he saw the gold coin, Tang's mind was filled with thoughts, and he felt as if his own timeline was completely disrupted.

There are more things to think about here. The contradictions within himself made his brain confused. For a moment, he felt out of control, as if he was about to disintegrate into spiritual insects and become a traveler lost in the ancient fog.

And his future self also spoke, his voice was twisted and ethereal, as if traveling through the dimensions of time and space, reminding his past self, allowing his spirit to calm down instantly, stopping his crumbling thoughts and stopping his loss of control from tilting towards the abyss.

The future him played with the gold coins in his hand like a magician, pointed at the brass book beside him, then pointed at Tang and himself, and said concisely, "Eliminate Amon, five minutes."

"Don't think about it anymore."

The next moment, the fog of history suddenly dissipated, and Tang returned to Euclidean space.

Beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Host, what's wrong with you?!"

The system's scream brought Tang back to his senses.

"It's okay." Tang swallowed and cleared his mind. "Let me be quiet."

"I can't think about it anymore. The time and space chaos of Euclidean space is extremely easy for me to lose control. What is this? An official ban warning for using cheats?"
