Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 118 Chapter 117 Amon is coming!

Tang commanded a new low-sequence secret puppet to come over, asked the system to install the subsystem for him, and then walked out of the room.

As the door closed, curtains fell from the sky, blocking the stumbling system in the room and manipulating the new marionette to recite the contents of the Necronomicon to the Sequence 7.

"Wasting a Bionic Marionette module isn't a big deal. Now that I can split into spirit worms, I can equip all my marionettes with this module without any problem, as long as I give them time."

"After all, when dealing with Amon, we have to consider the issue of marionettes being captured. Well, we can't have too many marionettes. The system can only allocate ten subsystems. If we can get feedback by directly reciting the contents of the Necronomicon instead of reading the manuscript, then we can have all marionettes participating in this battle install one. If Amon takes their place, let the system set off a Cthulhu alarm."

The subsystem inherits most of the system's functions, and the system itself can also use these as carriers to transmit some things to the subsystem.

Just give Amon a Cthulhu-style arm shake, it would be best if you can beat the kleptomaniac to death.

The timing of the system upgrade to version 1.2 is just right.

Before long, a biting cold feeling seemed to penetrate the curtains, and the distorted screams from the core of the theater seemed to ring in Tang's ears.

Ahhhh what did that weird wizard and that dead thing on him do again??!!

The curtain was pulled away, and white mist floated in the gap under the door. The water molecules in the air condensed, and the temperature dropped suddenly. It was a cold that seemed to freeze even spirits.

Tang put on the 'mosaic glasses for observing the stars' and made sure there was no mental shock. Then he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and shook it to make it extremely sharp, and pried open the door that had been frozen into an ice lump.

The inside of the door was covered in frost, but surprisingly, neither his marionette nor the Sequence 7 died.

However, in the spiritual vision, all the internal organs of these two people have stopped functioning, but their spirits have not disappeared. They have just become slow and sluggish, as if they have Alzheimer's disease.

From a medical point of view, they are already considered dead, but in the world of mysticism, the spirit is still tightly attached to the body, which cannot be considered as true death.

The system placed a marionette's perspective in Tang's mind. It controlled the marionette to read the contents of the Book of the Dead. The language it used was not Loenese or ancient Hermetic. It was not any kind of mystical language, but an ethereal language that could resonate with nature.

"Like the whispers of an ancient god."

This language has been blurred and processed by the system, so it will not be polluted if you don't understand it, but Tang still feels uneasy.

"After all, if I read it out loud, it will have the same effect, right?"

'That's true, but it can only use the content you have read. The rest... emm, I can't read it.'

Following the host's request, the system first produced a chart, using numerical values ​​to let the host understand the distribution of time periods when pollution is generated, reaches its peak, and then disappears after reciting the sentence.

Tang nodded without commenting, "Okay."

"In three days, we will go deal with Amon's clone."

It is better to deal with Amon sooner rather than later. Amon must not be allowed to prepare for too long. It would be best if he is not prepared. However, if he is, early action can also shorten the opponent's preparation time.

He is almost ready. He just needs to wait for the spirit to calm down and the SAN value to return to a stable value before taking action. As for Grandpa Pales, well, he is not sure. He will go and ask.

-

Pales Zoroast looked at the tall, thin figure that had appeared out of nowhere by the window. He was silent for a few seconds before asking, "Are all strange mages so plain and simple?"

Can we be gentler on the hearts of the elderly?
A letter fell from the hand of the slender ghost, and Pales Zoroast walked out of the parasite's body.

He had been trying to get out of the shallow parasitic state for the past few days. After all, it was too dangerous to let an ordinary person go with him to deal with Amon, and it would be of no help. His condition was not bad, and even if he got out of the shallow parasitic state, it would not take long for him to recover.

Pales glanced at the baby-faced knight behind him again, picked up the letter and began to read.

Seeing that the mission was completed, the tall and thin ghost outside the window suddenly turned into paper and was torn into pieces by an invisible force in front of Pales.

"Three days..."

Pales didn't care. He gently tapped the word representing time above, thought for a moment, and nodded.

"Well, it's time for me to leave here."

Regardless of whether this was Amon's fishing behavior, if Amon appeared, he would have to leave Tingen in a short time.

Staying in one place for too long is always risky.

Pales' figure gradually disappeared and went to a castle not far away to discuss some details with the evil wizard.

They all had the same idea that it was better to get rid of Amon sooner rather than later. It was crucial to disrupt the rhythm of this Angel King who loved to set traps, had a mind full of twists and turns, and acted on his own accord, and catch him off guard.

After discussing countermeasures with the old man, Tang also took out the demigod-level magical items made by the system and divided them up.

He gave a few to the War Bishop, a few to the Sequence 4 Devil Marionette, and a few for himself. He openly intended to only bring two marionettes this time. After all, demigod-level marionettes could still be useful, while mid- and low-sequence marionettes would be useless.

As for secretly...

Tang stuffed a few more secret dolls into the Euclid space and also stuffed some spirit insects into it as insurance.

Amon would most likely not discover the Euclid Space, just like the lightning storm that Xiao Ke had sent to Amon through a layer of gray fog. Even if he discovered it, it would be difficult for him to get out. And if he failed, even if he lost the demigod-level secret doll, it would be better than his own fate of being replaced.

The system determined that putting the Never-Ending Theater into the warehouse would not cause any harm to the people in the theater and would not affect the things happening inside the theater. So Tang put the theater away as well, also as if he was ready to run away with his family at any time if he failed.

"Host, isn't this a bit of an overreaction?"

"Who knows what Amon will do? It's better to kill a mosquito with a cannon than to be wiped out by others."

Although Euclidean space, spiritual intuition, and divination prophecy all proved that only Amon's clone was here, and Amon's real body was still far away, and they had not even discovered the old man, all the preparations made by Tang were arranged for Amon's real body.

"Be careful Amon."

His future self must have experienced this period of "history", so there is no reason for him not to follow the advice given by the future self, even if it is a bit exaggerated.

Hiding the spell of yesterday's reappearance in his pocket within easy reach, Tang entered the Euclidean space. He reduced the dimension of the spiritual thread and let the Sequence 4 devil marionette use the ability of the faceless man to begin to change his appearance, disguising himself as an ordinary face that would be completely unrecognizable if thrown into the crowd. Then he instructed the marionette to put on a cloak.

The demonic marionette slowly vanished into the darkness, becoming part of the dazzling starry sky. It was a magical item crafted from the Sequence 4 Night Watcher Beyonder's special ability from the Night Path. While maintaining the magical item's effectiveness, Tang selected the Beyonder's power in the area of ​​secrecy, elevating it to the pinnacle of Sequence 4.

The system's "craftsman" has a very high bonus to a single constant extraordinary ability. The extraordinary ability burst out by magical items can be comparable to that of a demigod who has digested magic potions.

The Marionette took out a book from his pocket.

"I come, I see, I record."

As the pages turned, the red around became redder and the yellow gradually yellower, turning into countless rich and layered blocks of color. The extraordinary ability to travel took the secret doll to Tingen.

-

Tingen was very quiet at night. No one knew where the homeless people had hidden themselves. There were few people on the streets, and it was pitch black. Only in the mansions of the nobles were there patrolling guards and servants who lit fires to illuminate the world.

In a hidden corner, a pure black velvet cloak is dotted with shining stars. The strange wizard who works day and night is hiding in the shadows, quietly gazing at the street in front of him.

He quietly manipulated the spiritual thread and transformed a bug hanging on a tree not far away into his own secret doll, hoping to use it to observe the situation on both sides of the street.

The number of Amons here is beyond imagination, and it is not an exaggeration to aggregate them into clones at the Sequence 3 level.

Not realizing the danger, the Trickster raised his hands and continued to create the secret dolls.

For High-Sequence Beyonders on the Diviner Path, having a marionette and not having one are two extremes.

He was gradually transforming the insignificant things around him into his own secret puppets, and then using the extraordinary abilities of the magician to give those secret puppets the magician's extraordinary powers.

Soon, the Trickster's marionettes surrounded a mansion that belonged to Viscount Frederick Ross.

This was where Tang first saw Amon. In this mansion, everyone had been parasitized by Amon to varying degrees.

The evil wizard suddenly remembered a horror story he had seen before.

“When you return home and open the door, you will find that your father, your mother, your wife, your children, your male servants, your female servants, and your servants have all fallen in love with monocles without knowing when. Then, you will also put on the monocle with a smile.”

A gust of wind blew and he got goosebumps all over the floor.

Amon is a family, just thinking about it makes me lose my SAN.

Gathering his thoughts, the strange wizard commanded the secret doll to slowly approach the mansion, intending to investigate the situation without alerting Amon.

At this time, the window of one of Viscount Frederick Ross's rooms opened at some point.

Through the eyes of the caterpillar marionette, he saw a middle-aged man in pajamas walking out of the reception room. He seemed to have been sleeping in bed just now. The man was thin and had pale skin, like a vampire who had not seen sunlight for many years.

And in his right eye socket, he wore a monocle carved from crystal!
This is Viscount Frederick Ross, but at this moment he has a smile on his face, chin clenched, and seems to be quite interested in the scene around him.

The strange wizard peeked through the secret doll, but the next moment there was an explosion behind him, which was a crazy awakening of his spiritual intuition.

He lost control of several secret dolls in an instant and they were stolen in an instant.

'The Blasphemer' Amon is coming!
The invisibility cloak is a magical item that is very powerful if there is no interaction with the outside world and everything is kept secret. However, the trickster did not hide his spiritual thread well, and his secret doll was caught by Amon.

As a Sequence 1 Time Worm and the Sequence 1 Angel King, his greatest skill is to silently steal the fate of others and then replace it with his own.

Amon has discovered the connection between the secret doll and the main body.

The figure of the strange wizard instantly exchanged with the secret doll in the distance. A tall and thin figure wearing a black classical robe, a pointed soft hat, and holding a crystal-carved monocle appeared behind him at some point!

"Trickster? How did you find me and lock onto me?"

He was asking how the strange sorcerer knew he was here and had already replaced the fate of some people. But obviously, he didn't get a response.

The shadow was covered by the firepower of the air cannonballs, and was shattered by the devastating air cannonballs. The strange wizard cut off the spiritual threads around him, allowing the power of his cloak to be exerted to the maximum, completely hiding himself in the darkness and escaping into the distance.

But the next moment, his figure stopped, and the cloak on his body disappeared at some point, and his figure appeared in front of Amon again.

It was as if the escape just now was all an illusion of the Trickster himself, and he was very clear that the distance between him and Amon was stolen.

"No, you are not the Trickster himself. You are a puppet, and your true self is..."

Amon opened his hands slightly, and the magician's face was wriggling. At this moment, his five extraordinary abilities, including the manipulation of the spirit thread and the transformation of the faceless man, were stolen, revealing his original face.

The next moment, the demon revealed his mythical creature form, and the filthy and corrupt aura instantly swept towards Amon.

As Amon raised his hand once more, the demon's mythical creature form was stolen, and his control over his emotions was stolen...

Amon took another step forward, and the demon raised his hand uncontrollably. The smoothness in his hand condensed and turned into a new pair of monocles carved from crystal.

He put the monocle into his right eye socket...

But, it’s now!

In the Euclidean space, the Sun Scepter was covered with black sunlight. Tang calmly unleashed the manipulation of the Devil's Marionette and issued the first command to the system.

"Let's start, Tongzi, it's your turn to perform."

"Good host!"

The system instantly took over the subsystem hidden in the demon's body and issued a task.

Amon, who had completely replaced the demon, heard a beep. He inherited the fate of the secret doll and naturally heard this empty and emotionless mechanical sound.

'Ding, release the mission!'

'Please listen to the whispers from the ancient gods in full!'
