Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 146 145 Mystic
Among all the 22 extraordinary paths, there are a few paths where extraordinary people will always fall into extreme madness at an extremely fast speed in various ways, so that they will soon die in the real world.

Even if they are stable and kind in the previous second, they will become out of control and crazy in the next second.

'Degeneration' and 'distortion' only take a few minutes.

Among these pathways that are extremely prone to losing control, Sequence 9, the Beyonder whose potion is called Mystery Peeper, always had someone who, because of actively or passively learning all kinds of knowledge, lost their sanity, was corroded by madness, and died on the spot before the Hidden Sage 'came back to life'.

After all, this is an age where knowledge itself is toxic.

For the Beyonders on the Mysterious Path, once they reach Sequence 5 and become astrologers, their extraordinary power of the 'Eye of Mysteries' will be further enhanced, almost undergoing a qualitative change. This is even more so.

If you want to get promoted, you need more knowledge. If you want to get more knowledge, you need to be promoted faster. This should be a mutually reinforcing relationship, but the toxicity of knowledge is far beyond the imagination of the extraordinary people on this path.

After the concept of the Hidden Sage 'came back to life', the probability of death caused by the uncontrolled, passive indoctrination of crazy knowledge, as the status was improved, became higher and higher, as a result of seeing things that should not be seen, hearing things that should not be heard, and understanding things that should not be understood, which caused the loss of control.

After going through one difficult moment after another, facing one fatal danger after another, and learning one terrifying secret knowledge after another, Valentine Ramsay, a wild extraordinary person, was lucky enough to analyze the blood of angels and was promoted to a mystic. He always had a little confidence in his good luck.

After all, not everyone can reach the level of angels, and not everyone can retain their self after being indoctrinated with crazy knowledge one after another, not suffer from extremely serious pollution, lose their personality, and still retain their sanity, avoiding the church's layer-by-layer elimination.

This was a miracle, Valentine Ramsay thought. Perhaps he could publish a book so that the younger generations could admire the great achievements of their predecessors and let those fools in the Moss Ascetic Order know that his ideas were not wrong.

Seize every opportunity, understand all secrets, at any cost; this is the tone that should be followed in the world of mysticism.

Do whatever you want, but don't hurt? Tsk, a laughable motto thought up by some cowards.

Valentine Ramsay, dressed neatly, carrying a jeweled cane and wearing a polite hat, looking like an aristocratic gentleman in his thirties, strolled into the Backlund family restaurant, which represented Mediterranean-style cuisine, to enjoy today's meal there.

"The Beyonders from the Church of Night, the Church of Storms, and the Church of Artisans have focused most of their attention on the Orkney Highlands. I'm curious, what's going on there? And what does it have to do with the Blood Worship Cult?"

A plan to open the abyss, centered on the gods from the dark side of the universe, occurred in Onik Highlands, resulting in countless people throughout the northern continent being sacrificed by the demons of the Blood Cult.

As his thoughts raced, Valentine Ramsay connected a series of recent events.

Knowing what the Blood Cult has been doing recently, and even having participated in some of the activities himself, Valentine Ramsay has already guessed almost exactly what the high-ranking demons of the Blood Cult are planning.

There, a crack in the abyss appeared in the Orkney Highlands, or was it that some high-level being tried to break through the obstruction and enter the real world, but was repelled by the church?

A large-scale sacrificial ceremony is required as the demons have several goals.

Kill, or offer faith and worship to a higher demon.

As an occultist who possesses knowledge itself and uses knowledge as power, Valentine Ramsey obviously possesses enough secret knowledge.

This would allow him to quickly assess the current situation and help him digest his occultist's potion...

Yes, digestion.

The Hidden Sage was transformed from a conceptual existence into something even more terrifying, almost god-like, in the worship of the Moss Ascetic Order. His madness caused great losses to many extraordinary people who were peeping into the secret path. Many people lost control and died because of the knowledge actively or passively instilled by the Hidden Sage, turning into monsters, and then evolving into even more terrifying things.

That is a cleansing of the pathway, a disaster.

But not all of this knowledge is powerless, incomprehensible, or "toxic."

Valentine Ramsay was also one of those who had been silently infused with crazy knowledge by the secret sage, but he deciphered the "acting method" from those poisonous crazy knowledge, and interpreted that potions did not require mastery, but digestion; not excavation, but acting.

Only by digesting the potion can one completely control this thing whose underlying logic is chaotic, make it work for oneself, and not be affected by the mental imprint remaining in the potion.

"And the more you know, the more powerful it becomes for the mystic." Valentine Ramsay slowly cut a piece of freshwater fish, a specialty of Jianhai County, with a knife and fork, put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully.

This kind of freshwater fish from the sea has a very delicate taste. The production in previous years was not too large and the supply could not meet the demand. Sometimes, even if you spent enough gold pounds, you still couldn't buy it.

——Of course, this only applies to ordinary nobles.

As he chewed this delicacy, letting his taste buds savor the unique texture of fish, Valentine Ramsay continued to think.

"If I had personally participated in the main part of this sacrificial ceremony, I obviously wouldn't have done it so crudely, allowing the church members to notice the problem so quickly."

He would disperse this sacrificial ritual to places that the various church forces could not reach, or to places that could greatly disperse the church's manpower. He would design spells to make the great demon to whom the demons dedicated their faith, or even the one at the top of this path, land immediately, cause a disaster, and then use the sacrifices from other places to transfer it again, thereby creating greater disasters and killings.

After all, isn't the purpose of demons to kill?

Ah, but they are indeed not very smart and have never been experts in occult knowledge, and are unwilling to put in the effort in this area.

Valentine Ramsey thought with regret that the sacrifice ceremony involving so many people would probably be difficult to carry out a second time under the suppression of the church.

However, the mystic did not notice that when he stepped into the restaurant, one of the two waiters in the restaurant moved his eyes slightly, as if he noticed something.

As a former astrologer, this mystic, now at Sequence 4, clearly lacks understanding of certain methods of the diviner's path, as well as matters of a higher order.

"Is it him?"

The waiter muttered in his heart, without showing even the slightest sign of abnormality.

Another voice sounded in my heart: "It seems so."

Several other secret marionettes far away in Tingen interrupted, "Tell me what's going on over there?"

In the Euclid space, the secret marionette containing the Spirit Worm immediately replied, "I see it."

Soon, all the secret puppets used Tang and the never-ending theater as a transit station, and immediately revealed all the secrets of this mystic.

Including his promotion ceremony, including his thoughts and ideas.

The blood of the mythical creature analyzed by this mystic is——

"Ah, Elder Dirty Words."

"The Hanged Man is a Sequence 2 Angel, Sequence 5, and he was lucky enough to obtain something that absolutely doesn't fit his Sequence Level." "No, it could also be arranged. For example, the True Creator wants to expand his power. He is currently sealed in the God-Forsaken Land. If he leaves, he will be attacked by the Seven Gods. And the Aurora Society hasn't appeared yet..."

The puppets chattered, their thoughts connected together, and they quickly formed a reasonable hunting method.

The mystic himself does not seem to realize that there are obvious differences between him and his past self.

The power of corruption held by the true Creator is not only the corruption of the body, but also the soul will continue to fall into the abyss under the radiation of this power, and become a twisted and terrifying monster.

Through Euclidean space, it can be seen that there are some deformed parts in the heart of this mystic, which will increasingly affect his condition as he continues to rise.

The War Bishop quietly looked at the mystic through the perspective of other secret puppets, and a corresponding plan began to emerge in his mind.

The extraordinary characteristics of the mystic required by the system should be produced in this mystic.

Of course, the one who made the final decision was still Tang, who was in the land abandoned by God.

"If that's the case, then kill him." Tang said after understanding the situation of the mystic.

"The Demigod-level Beyonder who ascended to the level of a Mystic isn't scary. What's scary is the drop of blood he analyzed that constituted his Sequence 4 ascension ritual."

Sequence 2 of the Hanged Man's Path possesses the power to corrupt people's souls with words alone.

When he is promoted to Sequence 3, he will most likely become the most loyal believer of the True Creator.

"it is good."

Said the War Bishop.

"Follow your wishes." The other marionettes heard Tang's voice and responded in unison. The vibration was transmitted to the depths of the distant God-forsaken Land through the resonance of the spiritual thread.

Tang Wusheng sighed while holding the lantern.

"So, the quality of the Marionette Anchor is really high."

Feeling this anchor point that was almost free of any contamination and concepts, Tang, a Sequence 4 demigod who was extremely prone to losing control, truly felt the benefits of the anchor point.

"The marionettes' perception of me is completely determined by the 'Bionic Marionette' module. The public's perception of me has almost no effect on the anchor point of the marionettes."

The function of the anchor point for High-Sequence Beyonders is not to maintain their hearts, but to allow Him, and Them to form corresponding cognition, positioning, and image, to fight against the spiritual imprint within the Beyonder characteristics, and to remember that they are Him, not Him.

"So the war between the gods is truly inevitable. Facing the approaching doomsday, the war between the gods fighting for the anchor point will only intensify."

There are only so many anchor points. The countries of Loen, Intis, Feynappart and others are now recuperating in order to cultivate more anchors for the gods to maintain and prevent the original from awakening in their bodies and thus completely "corrupting".

——But calling this kind of thing "degeneration" is really a bit blasphemous, well, it's directed at the original.

Tang pulled out a dinner for today prepared by the secret puppet at the theater from the system space, found a cave, put it in it, and prepared to take a rest.

"Maybe I'll receive the Sequence 4 Mystic Beyonder characteristic in the next couple of days."

The system cheered.

"As for Silver City...ah, is that true?"

-

Rune, Backlund.

Archbishop Chanis, who had returned to the true center of the Loen Kingdom, rubbed his brows as he looked at the information reported by the church members.

During this period, he had been thinking about the issues related to the official Beyonder system. Discussions with the church internally and with other churches, unifying opinions, and deploying and dispatching personnel all took up a lot of time. This also made the Sequence 4 demigod feel the slumber that he had not often felt since becoming a Saint.

"Praise the goddess." He drew a crimson moon on his chest and prayed softly to the quiet and peaceful church, reporting some things to the queen of misfortune and fear.

Ordinary people may not know whether gods really exist. They just regard believing in gods as their daily behavior, and the free food provided by the church every day is the cornerstone of their faith.

It is these countless cornerstones that have created the current era of seven gods coexisting.

"The Archbishop of the Church of the God of Craftsmen wants to obtain more missionary qualifications. To this end, the Church of Storms and the Church of the Goddess have no choice but to argue with the Church of the God of Craftsmen. After all, the number of believers is limited, and the headquarters of the Church of the God of Craftsmen is in the Intis Empire..."

Gods that come from elsewhere are enemies who divide faith.

Having people from the Church of the God of Craftsmen preach in Loen, not to mention the Church of Storms, even many of the leaders of the Church of the Goddess didn't understand this.

However, the opportunity for the God of Craftsmen to become a god was too hasty, and his state was likely to be so unstable that he needed the faith of a large number of believers to stabilize himself.

This may be one of the reasons why the Church of Storms and the Church of the Goddess tacitly allow the Church of Artisans to spread their faith. However, allowing them to preach more widely may affect the Goddess and the Anchor of the Lord of Storms.

The gods conquer the astral plane, and their followers follow closely behind.

Archbishop Chanis closed his eyes and silently recited the part of the Apocalypse of Night that had not been publicized.

The relationship between believers and gods is never just a simple one between believers and those believed in...

"bishop."

Someone spoke, interrupting the archbishop who was as peaceful as the night.

"what happened?"

"An extraordinary event has occurred in the East District," said the priest who had hurried over. "We have notified the Church of Storms, and they have sent people over there."

This was a serious incident of supernatural revelation, so it was reported directly to the Sequence 4 Saint, Archbishop Chanis.
