Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 143 142 Clues
"Surprise?"

What greeted Tang was the cold flash of a blade.

The sharp blade reflected the appearance of the invader. Judging from its appearance, the owner of the blade must have taken good care of it.

As a demon hunter with extensive experience, even on the verge of losing control, he remained calm and decisive in the face of his enemy. His instinctive reaction to dark monsters and danger over the years led Gar Bray to subconsciously draw his usual weapon, which he still carried even though it was sealed, and pointed the sharp knife at the enemy.

We don’t know who the invader is or how he got through the seal, but as long as we kill him, he will not pose a threat to Silver City!

His belief and his decisiveness made this demon hunter who was on the verge of losing control swing what might be the last blow of his life!

But the blade, which was imbued with powerful spirituality, unexpectedly pierced through the body of the person in front of it.

It's like touching something that doesn't belong to the same space. You can see it and talk to it, but there is no other interaction.

Oh, what a pity, I didn't hit the enemy.

Your enemy is currently untargetable.

Tang added a gaming term to his state in his mind, as the essence of the state is the projection of the high-dimensional space to the low-dimensional space. Then he saw the demon hunter who missed the attack, but at the same time took this opportunity to hit the wall behind Tang with his blade.

"Attacking me is just a cover?"

The wall was not damaged because of this. This was a cage constructed with a seal. Even if the people imprisoned inside were mutated and turned into monsters, they would not be able to break through the seal and cause damage to the City of Silver.

But the demon hunter's purpose was not this. The seal caused ripples, which transmitted information outward through layers of ripples.

'The seal here is abnormal!'

Tang straightened his monocle. This move of causing the seal to fluctuate so that the other six members of the Silver City Council would discover the problem had gone 'wrong' before it was discovered.

The ripples caused by the attack spread outward, but the direction they connected to was the distant depths of darkness.

The end of the sealed anomaly connects to the destroyed city-state in the distance, creating a new 'error'.

"Calm down, why let madness take over your mind?" said Tang, who was greeting others in a way that was already prone to domestic and international disputes.

But the former chief of the six-member council had no intention of listening to him at all. When his first attack missed, the other party took out a new blade from somewhere and threw the old one at his head.

There was something strange smeared on the blade.

The reflection of the distorted sun symbol on the Sun Scepter revealed the mental state of the former chief of the six-member council. It was a gigantic monster about four or five meters tall with a single vertical eye growing between its eyebrows.

It roared at the enemy, its sanity almost gone. The pollution caused by its extraordinary characteristics and the injuries it suffered caused the demon hunter's mental state to fall to a point where it was no longer salvageable.

Using the manipulator's extraordinary characteristics and observations of Euclidean space, Tang knew this result in advance.

"Unless there's a Sequence 2 Insighter, or a corresponding Level 0 Sealed Artifact, I can't save this situation, which is just one step away from losing control."

He is a strange wizard, not a spectator, and he does not have such a seal in his hands.

The thrown blade pierced Tang's head without any surprise, and the extraordinary power emanating from it was exorcism and purification.

Ah, are you treating him as a vengeful spirit and beating him?

Seeing that the demon hunter was ready for the third attack, Wrathful Soul Tang raised his monocle and stole the other party's thoughts, ideas and actions without hesitation.

The demon hunter, on the verge of losing control, stood there in a daze, with large blank spaces in his eyes and mind.

Tang, who had no way to accurately control the uniqueness of the thief's path, used the thief's extraordinary power as an aid. At the same time, the sun scepter in his hand was stained with a layer of dark sunlight.

Using the manipulator's extraordinary characteristics as a springboard, he opened the door to the Extraordinary's mind and body and implanted thoughts.

"Of course, in this case, the simplest solution is to use my own extraordinary ability to perform the Puppetization operation."

It can not only ensure that you get a new demigod-level secret doll, but also immediately stop the signs of the secret doll getting out of control.

After becoming a puppet, the loss of control caused by the extraordinary characteristics and injuries of the person will also end the tendency to slide into the abyss due to the "death" nature of the spirit itself. It is nothing more than losing one's own thoughts and becoming a puppet of others.

Tang nodded the monocle in his eye socket again, and the light flowing through the walls around him suddenly dimmed.

He took the initiative to create an 'error' area, making the "0" level seal think that everything was normal and there was no problem.

It's easy as pie because you are familiar with it.

Tang sighed, not knowing how many times he had practiced this.

System: Emmm host is easy to install~
Amon: Ah, yes, yes.

"As for a Trickster who has already digested the potion, he shouldn't transform too quickly against a demigod whose mind has been controlled, completely isolated from help, and unable to resist the transformation."

But Tang still didn't do it.

"Have you calmed down?"

The former chief of the six-member council, whose brain had crashed and was then implanted with the message 'You won't lose control, this place is still safe', Gar Bray looked at Tang wearing a monocle, but did not put down the sharp knife in his hand.

Of course, he didn't react excessively.

Even if the other party is subconsciously struggling with this hypnosis and psychological manipulation that is not part of their conscious mind, the influence of the Sun Wand is still more powerful.

Looking at the giant figure reflected by the Sun Scepter, which was somewhat quiet but immediately dominated by madness, Tang knew that the other party's state would not last long.

"who are you?"

The former chief asked this question as his veins bulged as he resisted round after round of hypnotic bombardment on the spiritual level.

Of course, if he hadn't pointed the knife at his head, Tang felt that they could have a good conversation now.

Tang, mindful of the fact that it was disgraceful not to scare others at all, stepped back.

"You can call me," Tang adjusted his monocle, "Amon."

Amon, the son of the Creator, is the 'Angel of Time', one of the eight kings of angels.

Obviously, this identity is enough to intimidate the people of Silver City.

But the people here don't know what this name means.

"Amon..." The former chief showed no intention of lowering the knife. Fighting his own madness that threatened to lead him back into the abyss, he could only lower his voice and ask, "You're an outsider. What's your purpose in coming to Silver City?"

"Before answering this question, I think you should have heard my other name."

Tang touched the bottom edge of his monocle with the knuckle of his index finger, "'Angel of Time'." According to the records of Silver City, the eight angel kings include 'Angel of Time' and 'Angel of Destiny'.

Among them, only one name of "Time Angel" is left, while there are relatively more records of "Destiny Angel".

Ouroboros, the Angel of Destiny, is currently restarting the increasingly insane Mercury Snake over and over again beside the True Creator.

When Gar Blay heard this name, which was only recorded in documents, his hand holding the knife trembled, but he remained in the same state as before. "How do you prove it?"

"For Silver City, which hasn't received a response from the Lord for a long time, I don't think I need to prove anything."

Tang smiled, and the sun scepter in his hand once again reflected the mental state of the demon hunter.

It's worse than before. Even with the operator's extraordinary power, it won't last long.

The demon hunter fell silent.

"Why did the Lord then..." he asked.

"Refuse to answer." Tang shook his finger. "This is your problem. It has nothing to do with me."

He smiled and said, "I just saw a castle that still fought against the darkness, and I felt a little emotional. Well, I will leave here soon."

"Host?" the system asked, puzzled. "Don't you want to plant a nail in Silver City?"

Saying this directly will also alert the other party, right?
"No problem." Tang thought to himself, "The state of the entire God-Forsaken Land is very special. Even if a drowning person only catches a feather floating on the water, he will reach out without hesitation."

Even if Tang was not a feather, but a man-eating crocodile, the drowning people here would still grab it without hesitation.

Facing a mysterious and powerful being who called himself the "Angel of Time", Gar Bray had to be extremely vigilant.

He didn't know whether the fight just now had attracted the attention of the other members of the six-member council, but he had to ensure that this guy could not endanger Silver City.

but……

There is no weakness.

why?
From God? Or is it really as he, no, He said, that He is the 'Angel of Time' who serves the Lord?
The thoughts in my mind were mixed together and burned like crackling firewood.

He put down the knife in his hand and looked at Tang with eyes filled with a mixture of calmness and madness.

Seeing Tang's figure slowly disappearing in the sealed room, Gar Blay couldn't help but say, "Please... please wait!"

Tang didn't pause at all because of these words and disappeared into the room.

The first outsider in a thousand years disappeared silently in front of the former chief of the six-member council.

Gar Bray looked at the empty room. If it weren't for the words "You won't lose control, it's still safe here" that kept echoing in his mind, he would even think that everything that had just happened was just a dream when he was on the verge of losing control.

Really...isn't this just a dream?
Gar Bray's hands trembled and he almost fell to his knees.

-

In the Euclid space, Tang wandered around the City of Silver, trying to find any items related to the gray fog.

Things related to Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun and Source Castle can become channels connecting Source Castle and the real world. Tang had obtained one from the former pirate before, and there should be some in Silver City or the surrounding city-states. He planned to try to look for them and then see if he could do something with them.

He doesn't mind doing things that might cause trouble for that Heavenly Lord.

Just as Tang was enthusiastically picking up trash, his secret doll not far away suddenly sent back some exciting information.

"The secret doll of the Dark Wolf Kotal?"

This was the first time Tang had discovered any trace of the God of Wishes after entering the God-forsaken Land for so long.

The secret dolls created by Tang and the secret doll exchanged places and appeared in the ruins of a city-state in the distance.

This city-state has long been in ruins, and seems to be a follower of the giant king Ormir. The arches are tall, and the houses and furniture inside are all magnified objects, making Tang seem out of place in this area.

The dark monster that had long been transformed into a secret doll led the way silently, while Tang appeared in the real world through projection and looked around the city-state.

Through observations in Euclidean space, he knew that even if the Dark Wolf Kotal had appeared in this city-state, he had already left. Apart from some traces, there was nothing special left here.

"This is a city-state destroyed by the Dark Wolf."

Tang looked at the corpses that had been turned into puppets. Some of them were sitting under the eaves, some were standing against the wall, some were surrounding the bonfire that had long been extinguished, and some were holding blackened pieces of monster meat in their hands.

It is not difficult to imagine that before this place was destroyed, the people here must have been doing their own things.

But perhaps in a moment, the residents of the city-state struggling in the mud discovered with horror that their friends, husbands, wives, and children had turned into bacon dangling from the ceiling, and turned into secret dolls.

But now, the people in this city have rotted and turned into bones on the ground, becoming part of the darkness.

"Hasn't the Dark Wolf obtained the curtain yet, and the Beyonder's special characteristics?"

Don rubbed his chin as he considered this.

"Pre-role? Anchor point?"

The Dark Wolf Kotal is undoubtedly a Sequence 2 angel. At this level, if one does not want to become cold-blooded and ruthless, relying solely on divinity to support one's personality, then one must have an anchor to support one's humanity and prevent oneself from falling into madness.

And where do so many creatures who believe in Him come from in the God-forsaken Land?

For those of high rank in the Diviner's Path, the quality of the Marionette Anchor is quite good.

"The only question is, if this angel is insane, can the Marionette Anchor he created stabilize itself?"

Well, this is a good research direction. He can try it when he becomes an angel and see the effect.

"However, in other words, regardless of whether the Dark Wolf Kotal was actually attempting to act out a role in advance, most of the marionettes here should be his anchor points... well, former anchor points."

"The Dark Wolf must be hiding from Amon and the True Creator... None of the angels who survived the Cataclysm were simple, let alone those who managed to hide in the God-Forsaken Land for so long under Amon's nose."

This also more intuitively shows that the Dark Wolf Kotal is definitely a cautious guy. It is difficult to take away the Beyonder characteristics of the Sequence 2 Miracle Artist from him.

"But it's still better than trying to find a needle in a haystack like looking for a wishing lamp."

Tang used Euclidean space to look through the information of these dead marionettes, but found no useful clues.

He looked into the distance. That direction was, east?
