Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 20 Pressurize! Pressurize!
"You can't leave by defeating the creatures here."

The old man in a linen robe and with white hair sighed softly.

The young woman next to him pursed her lips, her face as pale as paper, her body exhausted from prolonged mental tension.

She is only Sequence Seven. As long as her name is called, death will become the best ending.

"Really, is there no other way?" She couldn't help but ask the old man beside her, "Is there really no other way?"

"You saw it too." The old man shook his head, his eyes revealing the old age and decadence of someone nearing the end of his life.

"The one just now was a demigod of the Secret Prayer Path. Even he can't leave here, so it will be even more difficult for us."

"But," the woman murmured softly, "someone has already left."

The man at the beginning said he needed to participate in a 'magic show'.

That man was a member of the family of Abraham.

"Maybe there are other ways out, but..." The old man said this and sighed helplessly again.

-

The drama continues.

Tang looked towards the stage with his chin in his hand, still writing something with the charcoal pencil in his hand.

"Next, we invite..."

After yet another Beyonder lost his life, only to be resurrected and appear in the audience, he reappeared with the glamorous magician holding his hands high in politeness.

"Mr. Christian Ferreira."

Tang rolled up the parchment in his hand and stood up.

'The corresponding knowledge fragments have been deducted. The remaining number of knowledge fragments is: 8915.'

Previously, exchanging the knowledge for the steam engine consumed one thousand knowledge fragments, and letting the system cover up his name cost one hundred knowledge fragments.

After all, he didn't want to confront the church after recovering the extraordinary characteristics of the miracle worker for the time being, so he could only spend some knowledge fragments to conceal his name from the perspective of the spiritual world.

Due to the dual interference of the Faceless Man's ability and the system, even a Beyonder skilled in divination would find it difficult to find his true identity after leaving here.

Tang pretended to be controlled by the spiritual string hanging high above his head and moved forward.

He walked straight ahead, not glancing away until he reached the magician and whispered, "I need to prepare a magic show."

This was like a switch. In fact, after Tang entered here, many people tried to use this method to delay time and fight for a chance to be rescued, but all of them died in a more miserable way.

Therefore, his actions were not surprising to others.

Based on the experience of those present, this extraordinary person who wanted to challenge the "magic show" would die miserably on stage within ten minutes.

No one was optimistic about Tang, except the magician who looked at him with a smile on his face.

Then, the sky and the earth changed, the encouraging applause around suddenly disappeared, and on the empty and silent magic stage, the magician bowed to him.

"You have thirty minutes to prepare."

Tang tilted his head. "Can I have some magic props?"

"Of course," the magician said, "but the structure can't be too sophisticated."

Tang sighed in his heart.

'It has learned its lesson!'

Tongzi shouted loudly.

"Maybe it was frightened by Olson's 'miracle'."

Although that industrial miracle also provided extraordinary help to the miracle worker's power, the initial consumption was not small.

The entire theater was nearly weakened by this, and the accumulated miracles were almost completely consumed. If he were that sealed object, he would not repeat the same mistake.

"Of course...as long as the structure is not sophisticated, there is no problem, right?" Tang repeated.

The magician frowned, as if he had thought of something, and a hint of ambiguous emotion appeared on his exaggerated facial expression, but he still nodded.

Tang smiled with relief.

He handed the magician what he had been writing and drawing on. The magician reached out to take it and grinned at what he saw on the parchment.

"no problem."

He snapped his fingers.

A sealed cubic box appeared in front of Tang and the magician.

"Next, please add water."

Tang stood aside and said coolly, "I will show you what miracle I have created."

For extraordinary people, there are many kinds of performances, and magic shows are one of them.

However, for other Beyonders who were not fortune tellers, few could master magic tricks like 'deceiving others' senses' and 'challenging the impossible' within half an hour, not to mention that the target of these magic tricks was a Sequence 2 Miracle Worker.

Although magicians will provide magic props, they are limited to items without supernatural powers. This is actually a problem for extraordinary people who have been immersed in the extraordinary world for a long time.

Everyone has blind spots in their thinking. Those who have been wandering on the edge of the extraordinary world for years rarely pay attention to things that are not supernatural. When encountering problems, most of them think about how to solve them with mysticism and ignore other angles.

Therefore, for those who choose to challenge magic performances, failure is the outcome for the vast majority of people.

But Olsson is different. Miracles like the steam engine, which are ahead of their time, directly satisfy the "miracle" itself, and do not simply correspond to the "magic show". Otherwise, even if Olsson passed the magic show, he would only be able to stay here.

If you want to leave this place intact, you must satisfy the "miracle" corresponding to the miracle worker.

"Add water, yes, bring it up to a higher temperature, and then add air to it...yes, add a little more."

Tang didn't know when a hammer appeared in his hand.

The hammer, which was dark golden in color and as long as someone's forearm, looked speechlessly majestic. When the magician saw the hammer in Tang's hand, he slightly turned sideways, seeming a little surprised.

'Item information: Gold hammer, Silver hammer.'

'A magical item provided by the system. Its power depends on the strength of the 'Craftsman' module.'

'Extraordinary Power: The gold hammer can temporarily enhance a certain physical/mystical attribute of the item it strikes, while the silver hammer can temporarily weaken a certain physical/mystical attribute of the item it strikes.'

'Negative impact: 100 knowledge fragments/hour.'

"Don't stop, add some more air."

Tang stood in front of the airtight iron box, hammer in hand ready to strike.

The magician keeps creating air inside the box, and now, as the temperature rises and the pressure increases, the box has begun to expand outwards like a ball.

"A box that doesn't deform or become indestructible is something of the occult, something a magician can't possibly provide."

Tang saw that the iron box was about to burst, so he hit it upwards with a hammer.

"Give you a BUFF."

The iron box shrank instantly and returned to its original shape.

The golden hammer imbued it with mystical powers, making it permanently 'untransformable and indestructible' for the duration of the golden hammer's power.

"I'm quite curious, can a miracle worker make a nuclear bomb with his hands?"

Tang thought with interest.
