Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 142: Silver City

After traveling through the darkness for a few more days, the lightning in the sky changed from frequent to sparse, and from sparse to dense in the dark sky, repeating the alternation of day and night in the long years of the God-forsaken Land. A city-state located in the darkness, with people still living there and with flames, appeared in the vision of Euclidean space.

Although only Tang, a Sequence 4, could conduct large-scale exploration using the infinitely stretchable puppet of the Spirit Thread, his spirituality was ultimately limited. Without a clear direction in the dark, finding a city-state with inhabitants, especially the Silver City, was truly a matter of probability.

"At this point, I have to mention the Path of Destiny..." Tang Wusheng sighed as he held a magical item once held by a strange wizard of the Secret Order, which was the 'moment of luck' belonging to the winner of Sequence 5 of the Path of Destiny.

"Well, that's the direction. Indeed, Silver City must have retained information related to the 'Angel of Time'. In the process of self-rescue, it must have had certain tendencies. Praying for favor from the second son of the ancient Sun God is also a very reasonable development."

By replacing Amon, Tang thought so after vaguely hearing the sound of prayer.

He looked at the people walking out of the city-state not far away through the real vision of Euclidean space.

The information of these people who came out of the city-state not far away was fully revealed in the Euclidean space, which also made him certain that he had reached the first goal he set after entering the God-forsaken Land.

The Silver City believes in the Giant Queen Omibella and the ancient sun god.

"Of course, we just need to plant a few nails here and lead this group of people out of the God-forsaken Land..."

Tang shook his head. It was too difficult.

According to the information he currently has, the way to leave the God-Forsaken Land is either to bypass the seal through the characteristic of Euclidean space "high-dimensional space", or to follow the path of the Dark Angel Sasriel of the Giant King's Court and open the door to the God-Forsaken Land in a normal way.

As for the latter, facing the dark angel evil spirits that control part of the power of the Chaos Sea, the people here have no way to defeat them. As for the former... those who can enter the Euclidean space are either secret puppets or dead objects. All living people who come in will be eroded and assimilated by the characteristics of the Euclidean space and become collections in amber.

Could it be that he was going to leave the God-forsaken Land with a group of secret dolls or a bunch of 'specialties'?

Oh, it's a horror story just thinking about it.

"Of course, that doesn't mean we can't fight the Dark Angel..."

Pull his future self over here. Since even Amon can get equipment directly, then the Dark Angel should have no problem getting the first piece of blasphemous stone tablet, or directly give him a Dark Angel evil spirit as a secret puppet. Just thinking about it makes him feel proud.

However, he tried to use the Reappearance Spell from Yesterday to borrow power from his future self regarding this issue, and his future self's attitude was also very obvious.

He refused to provide any assistance beyond Tang's current sequence on the matter.

"That means either I need to do it myself, or the special nature of the God-Forsaken Land cannot be broken yet."

He must have experienced all of this in the future, so there is a certain inevitability that cannot be broken.

"Because it's Xiao Ke's ritual?" If the special nature of the God-Forsaken Land is broken, then some things in the future will also change accordingly. Klein Moretti's Sequence 2 Miracle Master's ritual cannot be guaranteed... or something like that?

After all, among the rituals of the Gou San family, only the fortune teller's ritual is the safest at the moment.

No matter how the Apprentice's Sequence 2 ritual is modified, it will involve the starry sky, and outside of the starry sky are all kinds of messy things.

Without much guarantee, ascending to the starry sky = a delicious meal = Mr. 'Gate'.

As for the other path, although Tang didn't know about the Sequence 2 ritual of the Thief's Path, the top of the Thief's Sequence was Amon, and the God of Fraud was also difficult to deal with. Even if he was now sure that Amon had lost a Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic and uniqueness, it would still be difficult.

"It might also be related to the true creator and the state of the Dark Angel Sasriel's evil spirit... Oh, I can't think about it anymore. The extraordinary world is so dangerous. Just thinking too deeply can cause problems..."

Tang immediately stopped his wild thoughts when he felt something growing in his spirit, a familiar sign of something going out of control.

He didn't notice that Amon in the monocle raised his head at this time, and an illusory eye without eyelashes appeared in his right eye. The eye glanced at Tang, who was wearing the monocle, through the monocle as if examining him.

"Are you worried?" Amon sneered.

The illusory eyes did not change at all, but simply hid their figure and disappeared again.

"After all, 'fate' and 'future' are like a large web woven by a loom. Once you are caught in the woven web..." The voice stopped talking, and Amon stopped smiling.

"Will he become a walking corpse...?" Amon sighed helplessly. "What a pity, if he keeps thinking like that..."

The "future" is an extremely terrifying pollution, even though it has never been recorded in any occult materials.

This kind of spiritual pollution will not lead to madness, nor will it lead to loss of control, darkness, depravity, or a twisted mind. Once you are infected, it is difficult to get rid of it.

Even if one is a true God or the King of Angels, once infected, regardless of whether they can detect it or not, even if they can detect it, they will want to resist fate and change the future, but they will be slapped in the face by reality again and again. The pollution will continue to worsen until it devours them...

After shaking his head and throwing out the things that he couldn't think about deeply, Tang passed by the exploration teams coming out of Silver City.

The two parties from different time and space would not have any intersection, and none of the explorers who walked into the darkness with their weapons nervously in hand noticed that someone had entered their city-state.

Before finding the Silver City, Tang had also found several city-states through the secret doll.

However, those city-states have died due to the thousand-year-long darkness, or due to consuming excessive amounts of monsters, accumulating pollution and toxins, or mutated for unknown reasons. All that is left are the ruins that symbolize civilization and countless twisted monsters walking in the darkness.

Tang, who wanted to use his extraordinary characteristics to aggregate and attack the Dark Wolf Kotar, continued to create puppets and gave them the 'bionic puppet' module to allow them to explore deeper.

This may take one year, two years, five years, ten years, or even longer, but the ritual of ancient scholars itself requires isolation for more than three hundred years. If he stays in the God-forsaken Land for three hundred years, it is not impossible to meet the requirements of the ritual. Tang is naturally not in such a hurry, and he can also command the extra secret puppets to explore those city-states and complete his knowledge of mysticism.

After all, who knows, this mystical knowledge might come in handy someday?

Silver City is similar to several other city-states. The only difference is that this place has food and can be self-sufficient. The people here do not have to eat the corpses of monsters, accumulate madness and toxins, and eventually cause the new generation of newborns to become deformed, and finally follow the same path as other city-states.

The people of Silver City all wore ancient clothing, a style completely out of touch with the current Northern Continent, wild and suited to battle. Their language was a slightly modified form of Giant. As a seasoned demigod, Tang was naturally able to translate it accurately. However, what made Tang feel even more out of place was...

Tang silently glanced at the members of the explorer team who disappeared into the darkness behind him, then turned his head and looked at the city-state in front of him, and silently suppressed the idea of ​​forcibly increasing his height using the faceless man's ability.

"How can I compare myself to a group of extraordinary people from the Giant Path, people who have been baptized in the blood of generations of giants? This is the normal height for a Loen man."

Owen's case is obviously an exception. I don't know if my father has ever taken low- or medium-sequence potions from the warrior path before... Anyway, he is normal.

"Host, don't try to quibble. You just really care!"

Tang: “…”

This thing starts to shine when it gets a little sunshine.

Paying attention, the Euclidean space that was large enough to cover the entire Tingen also covered the entire Silver City.

This coverage did not trigger any abnormalities, nor did it arouse anyone's vigilance. The power of the higher level did not trigger any reaction from the "0" level seals, and in the Silver City, all things were presented to Tang without any secrets.

Just as Tingen discovered Amon's clone, heard the voice of the parasite, and saw countless abstract concepts and complex information of mysticism.

"Come, let me see where the two Level 0 Sealed Artifacts are."

If he wanted to retrieve these two sealed objects, the current combat power of Silver City would be unable to stop him.

But he was not so cruel as to take away these poor guys' last hope.

After briefly exploring the current status of the entire Silver City, marking the locations of the two "0" level seals, and determining the uses of the two "0" level seals through system identification, Tang sat cross-legged in the Euclidean space and began to carefully observe this city-state that had struggled for more than a thousand years in the dark environment.

The next moment, his brows moved slightly as he looked at the twin towers in the north of the city.

It was an iconic building consisting of a spire and a round tower. Tang's eyes fell on one of the parts of the round tower.

The people there look like they're on the verge of losing control?

Don blinked, making sure he wasn't mistaken.

He stood up and took a step forward, and the surrounding environment changed accordingly.

-

Gar Bray was enduring changes in his body and mind, and the trauma he suffered from the attack of a demigod-level monster he killed during an exploration mission not long ago. After presiding over this meeting, the chief of the "Six-Man Council" separated from the other six-man council members and returned to his own residence, where he licked the wounds on his mind and body that could no longer heal and would only rot and fester.

The walls of this room are covered in countless golden sacred lights. This is the sealed cage brought by the god-level seal in the Silver City.

Now, this seal is aimed at the Chief of Silver City... No, perhaps it should be said that it is the former Chief.

Gar Bray has informed the other members of the council that he will be stepping down as chief and that another demon hunter will take his place.

This member of the six-member council already knew that his injuries could not be healed. If he had not been a demigod and had not crossed that level, he would have mutated by now, either becoming a monster in the dark or losing control and going mad, and then being killed by others.

Being able to die with dignity, perhaps this is the final destination.

The City of Silver has persisted in darkness for over a thousand years. Countless demigods and sealed objects have appeared and disappeared over the past millennia, people have risen and fallen, times have changed, and from the initial hopeful search to the day-to-day sacrifices to the Lord with no response and despair, a thousand years have passed in the City of Silver.

He has been a member of the six-member council for forty years.

When he became a member of the six-member council, Gar Bray couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to leave this cursed land, to look at the blue sky, the red moon, and to see what those ancient words that only existed in textbooks described.

But his repeated explorations and the things left behind after the destruction of nearby city-states all told him that there was no hope in the darkness, only despair, and even deeper despair.

Only when he stood in a high position could he see many things that he had never been able to touch before. The secrets of Silver City written by the successive chiefs of Silver City, the words in the giant language that exuded rich sadness and despair, all spoke of a long and endless struggle.

A hopeless and seemingly meaningless persistence.

"I really want to see the sun and the moon..."

The chief of the six-member council muttered to himself, wasting the last few moments he had on meaningless fantasies.

He didn't have long to live because of the curse of the sealed artifact on which they depended for survival. He had to leave this place before he died and go deep into the darkness. This was the only way to prevent himself from becoming an evil spirit and starting a massacre in the City of Silver that he absolutely did not want to face.

Gar Bray no longer has any relatives, and the negative impact of the seal, like a blood curse, will be fully manifested on him after his death.

Countless lessons learned through blood and tears have taught the people of Silver City that any disturbance, even the lightest feather, could cause this already struggling city to fall into an abyss from which there is no redemption.

He would arrive at the location pre-arranged by the six-member council, commit suicide there, and then the extraordinary characteristics would be taken back by others, perhaps becoming a seal, or becoming one of the ingredients for potions for others to advance.

At least, that's what the former head of the Six-Man Council, a Sequence 4 demon hunter, thought before he saw the sudden appearance of the figure.

A young man wearing strange clothes, holding a long staff and wearing a crystal monocle, appeared silently in the room blocked by the god-level seal and appeared in front of the former chief.

"Surprise?"
