Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 129 128 Quick Decision
The Secret Order is a secret organization founded by the Zaratul family during the Solomon era. Its members are not very active and their whereabouts are mysterious.

This secret organization controls the path of the diviners.

Old Zaratul, the former leader of the Secret Order and Sequence 1 Mystic Servant, was killed by Antigonus, the Angel King known as 'Half Fool', during the War of the Four Emperors. His Beyonder traits now fell into the hands of the Church of Evernight.

The Secret Order suffered a severe blow as a result, and since then the actions of the Secret Order have become increasingly mysterious. Even the Archbishop of the Orthodox Church does not know who the leader of the Secret Order is now.

Their actions are always carried out in secret, and apart from the Church of Night chasing and intercepting members of the Secret Society, the channels controlled by the Orthodox Churches are not adjacent to those of the Fortune Tellers, and few people care about the affairs of the Secret Society.

Apart from the Dusk Hermits and the Redemption Rose, this organization probably has the least information.

Tang sorted out his understanding of the Esoteric Order.

The strange wizard he had met in the theater before was a member of the secret society, whose goal was to appear in Tingen's never-ending theater.

A strange wizard and a demigod disappeared in Tingen. It was impossible for the members of the Secret Order to not notice it, but until now, no members of the Secret Order had been encountered in Tingen. It was unclear whether their whereabouts were too secretive, or whether the demigod of the Secret Order did not exchange information with other members of the Secret Order and wanted to eat this "0" level seal alone.

He once thought about communicating with the other party's spirit to understand the current situation of the Secret Order, but after the magician was baptized by crazy knowledge and twisted and combined with the seal, the magician no longer had the possibility of being communicated with.

And through the Euclidean space, everything seen needed to be shielded with mosaic glasses, and no useful information could be obtained. The remaining spirit of the evil wizard was destroyed by the crazy knowledge.

"I don't know what level the little Zaratul who used the crow is at now, but he should be a Sequence 3 Ancient Scholar at the very least. By the time of the Great Emperor, he was already a Miracle Master. Hmm, I don't know where the Miracle Master got his potion from. If I knew, maybe I could steal it beforehand."

The Ancient Scholar, a Sequence 3, possesses a very high ceiling. With enough acquaintances and sufficient understanding, a Beyonder can, in a short period of time, unleash enough power to repel even Angel-level Beyonders. Furthermore, they can hide within historical loopholes. For Beyonders unaware of these loopholes, even unprepared Ancient Scholars are a formidable Sequence 3 to kill. This can even lead to a gratifying outcome where they fail to secure a position and are instead killed.

"But I have a never-ending theater. Even if he hides in the cracks of history, using the theater and Euclidean space, finding him shouldn't be a problem."

Moreover, before the battle, Tang would conduct a targeted theft, aiming to steal all the core abilities of the opponent's ancient scholars.

A high-sequence Beyonder of the same sequence will definitely restrain a Beyonder of the same path, but of a lower rank than themselves. Sequence 4 versus Sequence 3. Without powerful helpers, the most important thing is to pull the opponent down to your level, and then use your vast experience to defeat them...

“Emm, this metaphor…”

"Raise the opponent's intelligence to the same level as the host, and then use your extensive experience..."

"I think you talk too much today."

'whee. '

Turning his attention back to the present, Tang soon arrived at Yinduo City, which was under the jurisdiction of Runjianhai County, through the travel of the Traveler's Secret Doll.

This is one of the information provided by the old man.

A cold wind blew past, and Tang shivered. He used his clown ability to hold back a sneeze, looked around, and found a tavern and hotel to rest for a while in this city.

The Sea of ​​​​Jian is a cold place, and the temperature is much lower than that of Tingen.

The people here had already put on thick clothes, and white snowflakes were floating down from the sky.

Snowflakes were flying, as if to bury the entire city. There were not many pedestrians on the streets, but there were frozen corpses everywhere in the city.

"While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone."

Tang put the hat he was wearing on the table.

"Compared to Tingen, the only advantage here is that the streets are much cleaner. There aren't many mosquitoes and flies buzzing around corpses, and some diseases are suppressed by the cold weather."

"Given Loen's current development, agriculture and industry haven't received significant support, and colonization hasn't yet begun. Providing enough food and shelter for everyone in Loen is a huge challenge."

The Orthodox Church can’t do anything about it, they can’t do too much.

There were too many people. Even if it was an orphanage, the church would be opened one second and the door would be trampled down by countless people the next second.

"Perhaps the situation at Feynaport's Earth Mother Church will be much better. As a True God Church with a farmer's path, even if the Beyonders in the church find it difficult to sell food, they can still exert various influences in secret."

Tang exhaled, and the air he exhaled seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

This is a truly prohibitive temperature.

Although he didn't like heat, he also didn't like this level of cold.

"However, it's much better than the situation in Tingen. At least the cold here is only a physical attack."

Tingen and Backlund's cold attacks were magical attacks.

Tang, who was once a southerner, thought so.

After a short rest, some of the food Tang had ordered earlier was delivered to his door.

The food at Jianhai is also unique, well, a little unpalatable. Tang put down the cold noodles he was making, cleaned up briefly, and walked to the window.

He opened the window and looked into the distance.

The cold wind blew in from the window, and the biting coldness made frost form on Tang's face.

And he took out a monocular telescope in the cold wind.

'Astronomical telescope for observing stars'.

You can always find the star you want to see most immediately!
"There's a secret base of a secret order here, located in Yinduo City, Jianhai County. Well, the old man's information shouldn't be a problem. And a senior ancient scholar must have hung up one secret puppet after another to hide this secret base very deeply."

After being promoted to Sequence 4, with a significant increase in spiritual power, using an astronomical telescope to observe the stars will consume much less energy than directly using Euclidean space, and it will also be easier to find the target accurately.

Without an exact target, Tang adjusted the eyepiece and objective lens of the telescope, searching for traces of High-Sequence Beyonders from the Diviner's Path around him.

Wherever you go, you will leave traces. This statement is true whether it is applied to the world of ordinary people or the world of the extraordinary.

Soon, Tang found what he was looking for.

It was a manor northwest of Indo. Through the telescope's true field of vision, Tang saw that there were many servants of all kinds in the manor, some male, some female, some old, some young, but the only thing they had in common was that they had no will of their own.

Straight lines of spirits flew out from their bodies, layer upon layer, extending into the depths of the manor.

"found it."

Putting away the astronomical telescope, Tang entered the Euclidean space, eliminated the interference, and performed a simple divination.

"There is danger, but it's not a big one. I can handle it."

After confirming the other party's location, Tang sorted out the things he would need next, took out a dark gold pocket watch, and then took out a monocle and put it in his right eye socket.

His voice began to change, the ending tone sometimes rising, sometimes sinking, and constantly changing.

Tang Zai uses the extraordinary ability of the Faceless Man to imitate Amon's voice.

'You want to imitate me?'

"Compared to the Sequence 4 Trickster, isn't the Sequence 1 Angel King Amon's clone even more bizarre and terrifying?"

Tang said.

Amon made a "tsk" sound and was about to say something when Tang blocked his words.

Amon:?
Tang had mastered how to communicate with this thing. After making sure that his own spiritual power could block this thing, he decided that except for some necessary moments, he would not listen to Amon's voice or see Amon's appearance.

Otherwise the system will start shouting "Anti-virus! Anti-virus!" again.

The noise gave him a headache.

System: "Hehe." A phased victory.

Entering Euclidean space, Tang headed towards the manor he had seen through the telescope before.

He did not bring his secret doll this time, but it was not because he was too careless.

As everyone knows, the difference between a High-Sequence Beyonder on the Diviner Path with a Marionette and without one is quite terrifying.

"But aren't there plenty of secret dolls here?"

Tang looked at the secret puppets in the entire manor and showed an Amon smile on his face.

"My performance this time shouldn't have the same problems as the one Grandpa encountered in the castle."

It's not like he only has a monocle similar to Amon's, but lacks the high-sequence extraordinary ability of the Thief's Path.

Walking in the manor, Tang walked into a luxuriously decorated room without disturbing anyone and saw a middle-aged elegant gentleman lying in a rocking chair.

He was a middle-aged gentleman who looked weathered, but as an ancient scholar whose previous sequence was the Faceless Man, this face might be just one of his many identities.

After finding a place to sit down, he began to use the authority of Euclidean space to read the contents of this ancient scholar.

He did not look at him carefully for too long. Firstly, his own spirituality was not enough to support such detailed observation. Second, he planned to make a quick decision and could not waste too much time investigating the other party's ancestors.

Soon, using an ability similar to the 'Gate of Heaven', by reading the information of this ancient scholar, Tang roughly grasped some of the ancient scholar's past, the sealed objects and extraordinary items he currently possessed, as well as some recent situations of the secret society.

This method is close to clairvoyance, but is even more powerful and comprehensive than clairvoyance.

As long as what you are facing is not a complete mythical creature, but something that absolutely cannot be seen or heard, then the observation of Euclidean space can be said to be unmatched in interrogating intelligence.

In the intelligence war, even if Klein stood above the gray fog and could eliminate most interference, and obtained the Scepter of Poseidon and could observe the situation of believers through real vision, he would not be as strong as him.

After all, no one would have thought that they would be inexplicably "communicated" by someone, and that the person was a Sequence 3 ancient scholar.

"After being promoted to an Ancient Scholar, Little Zarathu has begun attempting to construct a ritual for promotion to a Miracle Worker. The Secret Order holds extraordinary materials for Miracle Workers. Little Zarathu is currently searching for information related to ancient history. However, before this, Little Zarathu had collected magical items with hidden extraordinary abilities..."

Tang sorted out the information he had obtained from this ancient scholar, intending to consider the details in more detail later.

And this ancient scholar, in order to play the role of a strange wizard, led to the destruction of one remote town after another that had no church power or had very weak church power in a strange and terrifying way.

In Yinduo City, among the many secret puppets in this manor, many are puppets that he manipulates at will. Those secret puppets may have been decent people in their previous lives, or may have had ordinary but healthy families.

Well, the psychological burden of killing him is not that heavy.

Tang took out a few talismans of yesterday's reappearance and put them in his pocket, then held the gold-cased pocket watch in his left hand.

The pocket watch clicked open, its hands jumbled and chaotically placed on the dark golden dial. Eleven of its twelve hands, some radiant as light, others shrouded in darkness, moved in disorder. Only one, radiant as light, remained fixed in place, storing the extraordinary power stolen from elsewhere.

Tang pressed the balance wheel of the gold-cased pocket watch, and the monocle in his right eye socket began to decipher the mystery of the extraordinary person in front of him.

Quickly, he infused his spirituality and pointed the pocket watch at the ancient scholar in front of him.

He locked onto some of the opponent's extraordinary abilities, and using the uniqueness of the thief's path as a medium, he fixed a portion of the extraordinary abilities stolen by the gold-shell pocket watch in his hand.

A pointer quickly stopped its disorderly rotation, and the ancient scholar lying in the rocking chair in the bedroom suddenly opened his eyes.

"Who?!"

In an instant, his twelve extraordinary abilities, including 'Paper Man Substitute' and 'Leaping into the Holes of History', were stolen!
The next moment, the figure of the ancient scholar disappeared, replaced by a Sequence 4 Secret Doll of the Red Sacrifice Path!

Sequence 4, Iron-Blooded Knight.

Flames erupted from all around. Standing in a high-dimensional perspective, Tang watched these flames explode with cold eyes. He stretched out his hand, reduced part of his spiritual power, and then installed a 'bionic marionette' module on the Sequence 4 Iron-Blooded Knight marionette.

Higher-sequence Beyonders can indeed restrain Beyonders of lower levels and sequences than themselves, but for Tang, installing a 'bionic module' on a high-sequence Beyonder's puppet can directly cause him to rebel! He doesn't even need to use a spirit thread to control it!
For the high-sequence Beyonders of this path, the 'Bionic Marionette' module is the biggest dimensionality reduction blow!

Who says the 'Bionic Marionette' can only be installed on your own Marionette?
