Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 130 129 Amon
The ancient scholar of the Esoteric Order, who was suddenly attacked, relied on the strong spiritual warning and intuition possessed by High-Sequence Beyonders to quickly choose the situation that was most beneficial to his current situation.

After exchanging positions with the secret doll and leaving his room, he quickly used the connection with the secret doll to observe who the attacker was.

"A Beyonder who can steal the core abilities of ancient scholars in an instant..."

He had a bad suspicion in his mind.

The person who could accomplish this couldn't be just a Sequence 3 Beyonder of the same level.

"The angel of the thief's path."

The most famous Angel of the Thief's Path is...

This premonition quickly formed after a Sequence 4 puppet suddenly lost control.

The spiritual thread hadn't been lost, but he had lost control of the marionette. With the help of the other marionettes present, he clearly saw, in the room surrounded by iron and blood, the Iron Knight slowly stretched out his hand, and a dazzling, crystal-carved monocle condensed in his palm.

That secret doll, he put on that monocle!
The ancient scholar's teeth trembled with fear. As a High-Sequence Person, a high-ranking member of the Secret Order, he knew full well what he was facing—

"Amon!"

The Spirit Worm seemed to be out of control, and its crazy thoughts made it subconsciously want to immediately reveal the form of a mythical creature.

To steal his core Beyonder ability in an instant, it couldn't possibly be a Sequence 4 or Sequence 3 clone. The one who arrived was a Sequence 2, or even the real Amon?!
Why? This thought only flashed through the mind of the ancient scholar of the Secret Order for a second before he suppressed it without hesitation.

Now is not the time to think about this kind of thing!
After his self-destructive thoughts erupted and were suppressed, his only thought was to escape. Facing the Amons, who were likely to appear in large numbers, a head-on confrontation was definitely not the best solution!

Abandon this stronghold and use the seals here to try to fight back. As long as we can hold Amon back and then leave the Sea of ​​Space and go to other areas, there will be no problem.

But as soon as the thought of escape arose in his mind, it disappeared in an instant.

His thoughts froze for a moment, and years of experience told him that his thoughts were stolen in that instant.

Also stolen were ten extraordinary abilities, including 'Summoning Historical Pore Images', 'Air Cannonballs', 'Turning Paper into Knives', and 'Flame Leaping'.

At this moment, the ancient scholar lost all the core Beyonder abilities that he could rely on at Sequence 3.

If Amon does not return these extraordinary abilities, he will lose them forever.

But compared to losing your life, none of this matters!

He also has a secret doll! Here is also a special item equivalent to the church's "0" level seal!

The ancient scholar of the Secret Order once again exchanged places with the secret doll, and large areas of plague appeared. It was a Sequence 4 from the Witch's Path, the extraordinary ability of the Witch of Despair.

He tried to get closer to the northwest area, but the marionettes there had all donned crystal-shiny monocles one after another.

They laughed and they seemed to be talking together.

"bring it on."

"bring it on."

Unable to use the seal here, the ancient scholar of the Secret Order made a quick decision and picked up the magical item he carried with him. It was a small mirror, made by the Beyonder characteristics of a Sequence 5 Witch of Pain.

It allows it to instantly exchange positions with the magic mirror prepared in the distance!
But the next moment, this small mirror and several magical items on his body disappeared.

They were stolen again.

Amon knew him quite well and knew what magical items he had, and he could steal them.

"I always like to ask others." The Iron-Blooded Knight, standing in flames and blood, walked out of the house, his crystal-carved monocle glowing bright red.

"Who am I, where am I, and what do I want to do?"

He spoke slowly, knowing clearly that the ancient scholar could hear what he said, and that the voice understood the moment the ancient scholar heard it.

Amon, he is Amon!
The voice was clearly smiling, and the tone was casual, without any of the majesty of the Angel King. It seemed that he was just saying something like, "The weather is really nice today."

However, this made the ancient scholars of Sequence 3 feel terrified from the bottom of their hearts.

"Where? Where?!"

Having lost his magical items and most of his extraordinary abilities, the ancient scholar of the secret order quickly activated his spiritual vision. He did not give up struggling. He knew clearly that it would be difficult for him to escape from here, but before he was parasitized and his life was at stake, he would never give up his life.

But what made him even more desperate and trembling was that he did not find Amon's carrier, nor any trace of the Worm of Time.

He lost control of another marionette, and the plague spread by the Witch of Despair attacked him instead. He felt a sore throat and numbness in his limbs. The next moment, he switched places with his marionette again.

"I can't find it. Why can't I find it? The Worm of Time possesses a spiritual thread. Amon, how does he, no, how does he parasitize those marionettes?"

After being ambushed and losing control of the marionettes one after another, the ancient scholar seemed to have received something he could never have imagined in an instant. His mind was filled with thoughts like "impossible, this is impossible". He had no idea how Amon had become parasitic.

It's not like he hadn't seen Amon's clone before, although he only discovered it by chance through a layer of secret dolls. But he clearly understood that for a Beyonder with a previous sequence of Secret Doll Master, it would be difficult for the Time Worm to silently parasitize a high-sequence Beyonder of the Diviner Path who possessed the Vision of the Spirit Line.

He was very clear about this and was on guard against it, but he did not find any problems during the other party's parasitic process!

The thought of self-destruction came to his mind again, and his body began to become transparent. Countless transparent worms in the form of mythical creatures seemed to be about to drill out of his body.

That was a sign that he was having an emotional breakdown and was about to lose control.

The monocle alone was enough to cause the Sequence 3 Saint, who knew the Angel King well, to lose control. As a scholar of ancient history, he was well aware of the horror of the Angel King.

Understanding brings fear, and fear leads to loss of control.

Facing Sequence 2, which is most likely the real Sequence 1, he can neither win nor escape.

Each puppet put on a monocle and watched indifferently as their former operator fled in panic among the few puppets that could still be controlled.

He didn't dare to switch places with these secret puppets wearing monocles, fearing that he would fall into the big net woven by Amon in the next second.

He was making new marionettes, birds flying in the sky, insects on the trees. His extraordinary ability to manipulate the threads of spirits was used to the extreme. He was quickly switching places with these newly made marionettes, trying to leave the courtyard.

He is making his final struggle.

He had never hated the spaciousness of this mansion as much as he did now. "You want to leave here?"

A lady wearing a long, soft gauze, with a gentle expression, rich in emotion and with a unique charm appeared in front of him at some point.

The ancient scholar of the Secret Order was quite familiar with this lady, for she was his marionette, a witch of despair who had just unleashed the plague.

But what was unfamiliar to him was that the other person was wearing a monocle carved from crystal in his right eye socket.

The monocle refracted the light, illuminating the fleeing figure of the ancient scholar of the Secret Order.

She has been parasitized by Amon.

This realization caused the ancient scholar's deepest fear to erupt completely. He had no way of escaping. His core Beyonder abilities had been stolen, and his magical items had been stolen. Now, he was left with only—

His gaze froze instantly. He was about to reveal the form of a mythical creature and fight to the death, but at this moment, the thread of his spiritual body was grasped by someone.

Before his consciousness was completely stolen and his body was completely transformed into a puppet, he could only cry out unwillingly:
"Do not--!"

After a few seconds, the huge mansion fell into eternal silence again.

Countless servants, wearing monocles carved from crystal, all looked at the ancient scholar puppet who stood up again and regained his elegant temperament.

The ancient scholar of the Esoteric Order, a Sequence 3 Saint, had at some point pulled out a monocle from his jacket pocket and placed it in his right eye socket.

Tang walked out of the Euclid space slowly, with the Iron-Blooded Knight Marionette and the Desperate Witch Marionette standing quietly on both sides.

"Tsk tsk, how tragic! The ancient scholar didn't even unleash any of his extraordinary abilities, and he just turned into a secret puppet."

"Well, you could say that I underestimated how terrifying Amon would be in the eyes of these people."

He shook his head, pointed the gold-shell pocket watch at the ancient scholar in front of him, and returned the extraordinary abilities he had stolen.

"Zaratul sometimes comes to me. Do you want to try sniping?" The ancient scholar's secret doll pressed the monocle in his eye socket and asked.

"Of course." Tang nodded. "There's no rush for promotion. Expanding our current advantages is what we need to do."

"Your will is at your command." The ancient scholar and the surrounding puppets bowed to Tang, and Tang asked the system to install subsystems on them.

"Okay." The system quickly installed the corresponding subsystem installation program. "Host, do you want to snipe Little Zaratu?"

"Wouldn't it be better to just take down the entire Secret Order? Little Zaratul isn't a Sequence 2 Angel. Before he's promoted to a Miracle Worker, he'll be treated just like I did to this ancient scholar from the Secret Order."

"It's easy to solve." Actually, it's not.

He didn't use his ultimate move right away, because he wanted to test how far he was from the level of ancient scholars and simulate possible situations in advance.

This way, they wouldn't be without experience in dealing with High-Sequence Beyonders from other Diviner paths.

"It's just that the spiritual consumption is a bit high." After putting away the gold-shell pocket watch, Tang pressed the monocle in his left eye socket.

"Compared to stealing a Sequence 8 Beyonder, the spiritual energy consumption of stealing the core Beyonder's ability from a Sequence 3 Beyonder is such that I can only steal four times at most without borrowing from Yesterday's Reappearance. This is even considering the consumption required when the uniqueness and the Sealed Artifact itself are combined."

Once he encounters a Sequence 2, his theft might consume all of his spiritual energy in one go, and the things he steals will be greatly reduced in value.

The number of seals on little Zaratul would only increase, not decrease. Obviously, with his current "Bionic Marionette" that restrained this path and the corresponding "0" level seal of the Thief Path in his hand, it would not be very difficult for Sequence 4 to defeat Sequence 3.

Why wait until Sequence 3 to solve something that can be solved at Sequence 2? He could just install the Bionic Marionette directly. Then all the high-sequence Beyonders in the Diviner Path would be his marionettes. That would be interesting.

Tang looked into the depths of the mansion. After observing the surroundings with Euclidean space and learning from the experience of the ancient scholar, he knew that there was something hidden here.

"It's not a Sequence 2 Miracle Master's Seal, but another Level 0 Seal."

The Secret Order is truly wealthy, Tang sighed silently.

Yes, after all, Old Zaratul was a Sequence 1 Mystic Servant, so it made sense for him to leave some legacy to the secret organization he founded.

A Sequence 3 Saint is considered a high-ranking figure in the Secret Order. It is not surprising that he controls or guards a Level 0 Sealed Artifact.

"Look, isn't this a good example of how to develop and strengthen yourself?"

He was in need of high-sequence marionettes, and after obtaining the Ancient Scholar Beyonder trait, he would be given a number of useful marionettes.

Returning to the Euclidean space, before his spirituality completely disappeared, Tang went underground and stuffed the "0" level seal of the Secret Order into the system space.

Even sealed objects that require strict protection are powerless against the system.

After the crazy consumption of spiritual energy, Tang entered the Euclid space somewhat tiredly, returned to his temporary residence in Indo, had a good sleep first, and then prepared to return to Tingen.

"Before the ritual is completed, the situation here is not urgent. Leaving a Sequence 3 Marionette to infiltrate the Secret Order may yield good results."

The only problem is how to disguise the Marionette so that he can act like a normal person.

Tang could naturally disconnect the manipulation of the spirit body's thread and let the 'bionic puppet' support all the puppet's actions, but an experienced puppet master could still tell the difference between a puppetized puppet and a non-puppetized puppet.

This is also one of the problems with the 'Bionic Marionette' module. Even if the marionette itself can be remotely controlled, if one wants to rely on the marionette to infiltrate the middle and high-level officials of major churches and major countries, a marionette is really too obvious.

At this time, some external force is necessary...

for example.

Tang's eyes fell on his own system.

system:'?'

"Tongzi." His voice was gentle, but Cyber's hair stood on end when he heard it.

"Host, can we please talk to each other properly?"

"How much more crazy knowledge do you have hidden? How about giving yourself another level up?"

System: "...?" I have a feeling my host is thinking of something horrible again.
