Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 148 147 Mysterious Reappearance
The devil is a devil of the body and the heart. He is colder-blooded, more cunning, and more treacherous than the apostle of desire and the serial killer. He can also make others become reckless, careless, and fanatical.

Valentine Ramsey, whose mind was silently affected, subconsciously tried to dodge the next blow of the Sun Scepter, but he had forgotten that he was not facing only a demigod devil in front of him.

The mystic, using a secret puppet crafted by the devil, silently appeared behind the occultist. The layers of light gates in her hands suddenly lit up, slicing through space and transforming the place into a closed environment.

This sudden change woke up Valentine Ramsay, who was already resistant to the corruption spell, but he had no time to do anything else and simply used his previous extraordinary power again.

As the light in the pocket lit up again, the mysterious reappearance centered on the extraordinary knowledge of the solar field instantly broke the confined space, and the speed at which the solar scepter descended also slowed down. Everything around seemed to be dissolved in this eternal sunlight.

"Opportunity!" Taking advantage of the time bought for him by the scorching light, Valentine Ramsay stretched out his right hand to grab the mystic behind him, and the mysterious reappearance was activated again.

"From a study of the starry sky, I discovered the blood moon hidden in the storm, lost on an isolated island by the sea..."

The blood-red moonlight continued to condense in Valentine Ramsay's hands. Valentine Ramsay knew that the blood moon had an extremely strong restraining effect on extraordinary people on the apprentice path at certain times.

He knew how terrifying and strange that forbidden, poisonous knowledge was, and how powerful the magic and witchcraft created from it was.

But because of this, when facing the enemy, he would not use knowledge that would make it easier to kill the enemy the deeper he understood it.

"It really is a combination of all five poisons." Anjie closed her eyes and took a few steps back, as if trying to avoid Valentine Ramsey's magic.

But a blood moon suddenly rose in Valentine Ramsay's hand, and the light of the blood moon enveloped the Sequence 4 mystic.

Her thoughts suddenly became distorted, and she seemed to hear terrible, crazy, and endless whispers coming from afar.

That was Mr. Men’s mumbling!

"Get rid of one first!" Valentine Ramsay was furious. The sun scepter behind him was about to fall on the back of his head. The mystic was determined to trade injury for his life. He wanted to get rid of the mystic who had been interfering with his transfer first before doing anything else!
But is the one you are facing really a mystic?

A question suddenly sounded in the depths of the mystic's mind, as if wanting him to stop his next action.

He knew it was the devil's interference, so he ignored it. After making up his mind, he stretched out his palm, grasped the rising red moon in his hand, and then opened his palm again to Anjie.

The blood-red full moon once again enveloped the mystic's figure! This time, the blood-red moon's light merged into her eyes, her skin, her body, and even her spirit!
The murmur of the full moon, the murmur of madness!
The desperate cry from the lonely traveler!

"But how do you know who is whose secret doll?"

A silent sigh sounded from behind him. The expected hammer blow did not come, but Valentine Ramsey, the experienced mystic, had already done a continuous roll and looked at the position of the devil through the condensed Eye of Prying Eyes.

With just one glance, his pupils suddenly dilated a lot.

Anjie held a three-meter-long sun scepter in her hand, and the tip of the scepter was filled with chanting sounds that seemed to be constantly roaring and shouting.

"you--"

Aren't you under the influence of the Red Moon?!

The Eye of Secrets turned subconsciously, looking at the place illuminated by the blood-red full moon. A worm had appeared in there at some point, and now it was bathing in the full moon and shaking wildly.

Just as the Eye of Secrets looked over, the insect suddenly died, but it was not killed by the full moon.

Its death was caused by the Puppet Master releasing it from the puppet state, and it died naturally after the Puppet Master took back the thread of control over the spirit.

"Secret Puppet?!"

"Are you a secret doll?!"

Valentine Ramsey was confident that with the mystic's extraordinary abilities influenced by the whispers of the full moon, the mystic who had chased him across most of Backlund would be unable to break free.

——At least it won’t be so easy and silent to break free!

Valentine Ramsay went cold as he realized that this woman, and even that demon, were marionettes.

This is not affected by any demonic power, nor is it a normal physiological manifestation.

It's a mysterious reappearance!
It is the core extraordinary power of the secret-seeker's path!
It was because he was a mystic that he received extraordinary knowledge in the sense of mysticism!

The shock of simply knowing that 'the woman before me is a marionette'... No, why did this become crazy knowledge?!

No, that's not right!

wrong!

Why? ! Why? !

Crazy knowledge, crazy knowledge—!
He felt extreme pain in his head. From the information he had just received, the mystic's extraordinary power began to uncontrollably interpret the deeper things in it.

Why are the puppets so lifelike? Why can they have their own emotions?
why why why?
Ah, because of the High One, because of the Higher One, because of it, because of Him—

He is, He is——!
From far away, there seemed to be an inquiring gaze.

Valentine Ramsey bit his tongue and said, "No, no, no, no, no, don't think too much about it. Absolutely don't think too much about it. Leave now before that strange wizard or a stronger person with a secret doll comes over!"

Feeling that the evolving crazy knowledge was still being interpreted by the lower levels, he risked losing control by closing the Eye of Secrets and using his prior preparations to forcibly clear his head of all the related occult knowledge.

Fortunately, he had anticipated how to avoid risks and harm if he encountered knowledge that he could not understand or knowledge that was extremely toxic, so he did not immediately fall into danger because of the sudden emergence of crazy knowledge.

This treatment is only temporary, he must get rid of the enemy as soon as possible.

No matter whether the one chasing him is the demigod of the Blood Cult or any other demigod, he will survive, just like the dangers he faced time and time again!
But his thoughts suddenly froze again at this moment, as the puppet master began to manipulate the strings of his spirit body again.

The spiritual thread that sank into the dream reappeared because of the end of the mysterious reappearance, temporarily solving the interference of crazy knowledge. Valentine Ramsay hurriedly cast the same magic again to hide his spiritual thread in the dream, and what greeted him next was a black sunlight.

That was the sound of praise, that was an endless black wave.

Angel held the Sun Scepter in her hand, but she did not swing the three-meter-long weapon like the devil just now, intending to recklessly rush forward and engage in close combat with Valentine Ramsey.

But the tip of that staff was sealed with a twisted sun symbol, and what erupted from it was more terrifying than a simple physical attack.

"Sun, sun, praise the sun, sun, sun, praise the sun—"

The crazy singing and worship of the sun suddenly drowned out the place where the mystic had just been. Just when he used the extraordinary power of mysterious reappearance to escape from the area that had just been covered by the black sun, the demon that had just disappeared suddenly reappeared.

In his hand was the familiar sun scepter of Valentine Ramsey.

The Sun Scepter hurtled straight towards his head. Faced with such a dramatic scene, Valentine Ramsay could no longer think of complaining. He dodged, tumbling, and for some reason, he once again approached the wooden door that had mutated.

Angie, who was not far away, raised her hand, shortening the distance between the two, leaving Valentine Ramsay defenseless and approaching the wooden door that he had used the mysterious reappearance to reach before, but was distorted by the destination.

Sensing something amiss, Valentine Ramsay subconsciously turned his head, and then he saw a scene that he never wanted to see again in his life.

The door creaked open a crack, and pairs of eyes that were already stacked on the door continued to emerge from the crack. These eyes were full of smiles, with distorted faces and wearing monocles.

They crowded together, they stacked up in layers, they filled up the world behind the door like worms, they stretched out their hands one after another to the mystic, as if they were offering the warmest welcome ceremony.

The wooden door made a teeth-grinding creaking sound, as if it was bearing a weight that it could not bear at its age and was about to crack.

Behind the door was a dark vortex that seemed to be curled up and twisted like a worm.

The countless secret dolls piled up on the wooden door continued to press on the wooden door from the dark vortex. They seemed to be part of the dark vortex, wanting to drag the people in front of them into it and become a part of them.

Valentine Ramsay nearly choked.

Valentine Ramsay, who had just been eroded by the crazy knowledge of the secret sage, felt that his body was getting heavier and heavier, and his spirituality was being consumed at an extremely fast rate. He knew that he had to end the battle immediately!

Must! Immediately!
The occultist, who knew enough secret knowledge, took a deep breath, and then the mysterious reappearance was activated again.

"Deciphered from that drop of blood of the mythical creature..."

He tried to utter a word, a mystical word that came from the ascension ritual he had analyzed.

"The true Creator, His predecessor was—"

With a loud bang, the wooden door behind him exploded.

The wriggling, twisted marionettes, connected to the wriggling worm vortex behind the wooden door, scrambled to crawl out.

At this moment, the gaps between the spaces were filled with marionettes, and Valentine Ramsay slowly uttered one word after another.

"Derived from the Sun God, omniscient and omnipotent..."

Something suddenly slipped into his open mouth.

That's a little bug.

His pupils dilated instantly, and the mysterious power of reappearance suddenly appeared. Through the mystical knowledge related to vampires, he wanted to moonlight out of this state and quickly dodge away.

But his mind buzzed again, and the countless crazy knowledge that had just been suppressed surged again. The worms and secret puppets that were huddled together appeared in front of him with their fangs and claws bared.

"terribly sorry."

The whispering voice of the devil appeared in the mouth of the mystic.

"I can't let you continue talking, or else the official Beyonder will really arrive."

Then, with a "poof," Valentine Ramsay felt as if his body was about to be torn apart.

"Uh-"

Amidst the painful screams, his head was blown apart, and a secret puppet transformed into an insect appeared in the Euclidean space, swapping with him for a demonized devil.

By alternating the positions of the dolls, the devil burst the skin of the mystic, and his body turned into pieces of flesh and blood stained with the smell of sulfur.

The demon with goat horns and the owner of the wriggling flesh seemed to have stared at the still-surviving Valentine Ramsay through some mysterious reappearance. Then, the goat-horned demon lowered his head, and the flames of magma ignited the countless pieces of flesh. The smell of sulfur merged with the vortex of worms behind him that were clustered together and connected to countless secret dolls.

An extraordinary characteristic rapidly emerged from the flesh and blood.

Anjie appeared next to this extraordinary characteristic at some point. Her slender pale fingers grabbed this extraordinary characteristic and sent it into the system space.

The War Bishop didn't know how long he had been watching from the sidelines. Only when he saw that the mystic was finally dealt with did he step out of the shadows.

"People from the church have arrived." He glanced at the sky and said, "Regarding this operation..."

This Sequence 3 Saint, who had not participated in the occultist hunt, slowly said, "Each person will submit a -word report. Yes, return it to me in three days."

Anjie: “……?”

Angel blinked blankly, and the devil beside her also looked over. The two demigods who participated in the frontal battle looked at each other in confusion.

The devil also looked incredulous: "...No, wait, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Why are we writing this shit?"

"That's a bit too much noise. Our target is only the mystic, not the other Backlund personnel."

The War Bishop said, "Regarding the lack of experience in teamwork, this is the most fundamental problem. You are not used to working with each other."

Although it seemed that they cooperated very well, the mystic, who was an extremely mobile mystic and a devil with many extraordinary powers such as mental manipulation and demonization, actually allowed this mystic to escape the encirclement set up by two demigods and the support of Euclid Space, and even caused a lot of commotion along the way.

Their attack was not a surprise. Even though they had confirmed the enemy's situation, the extraordinary abilities and magical items they possessed, and had made contingency plans based on them, accidents still occurred. This is something that definitely needs to be reflected upon.

The 'Bionic Marionette' module provides the logic of cognition, behavior, emotion, and personality, and all combat experience is nothing more than things extracted from the dead soul of the marionette.

Anjie, who was formerly a traveler, and the devil who was originally a member of the Blood Cult, are not demigods who like teamwork.

Just relying on these past cognitions, once there is a situation where there is no puppet master to control them, the puppets that can act independently may inadvertently trip each other up in the battle, and even cause irreversible consequences.

Just like today, the commotion caused far exceeded the expectations of the two demigods.

As a saint who holds authority over the realm of war, the War Bishop observed these weaknesses.

As a puppet, it is not impossible to improve. The "bionic puppet" module itself and the "repair and cultivation" module that appear give the puppet the opportunity to grow.

“Only by accumulating experience can we make the right decisions.”
