Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 221 Chapter 220 The sky is falling

Nicolas Flamel's words "this is the end" did not mean that these people could leave and return to their respective forces with intelligence to report on their work.

Not only that, they also saw their colleagues/subordinates/companions at Khoyi University. These companions, who seemed to be more active than passive, were reserved, embarrassed but polite, and smiled at them.

The first batch of Beyonders: ...

All in all, I have mixed feelings.

"The news is spreading like wildfire. All the major churches are asking the Church of Evernight what exactly happened in Tinggen City."

Another Wind-loving member of the Church of the Storm whispered to Wolf Conches, who felt as if the sky had fallen and nothing mattered anymore.

Wolf Conches, in a trance, wondered, "What's going on?"

Also, what does this place have to do with the Church of Night?
The Wind-Followed member of the Church of Storms had a mysterious expression, as if discussing a secret, but he didn't directly answer Wolf Conches's question. Instead, he said mysteriously, "Not long ago, the Church of the God of War in the Feysac Empire held a meeting before the gods, demanding that the Church of Evernight share all the information about Tingen City and that strange school under the witness of the gods, and inform the other churches of the situation."

"Is there any connection between the Church of Evernight and Tingen?" Wolf Conches asked subconsciously.

He was even more confused. When did the Church of Darkness become involved with this secret organization that suddenly appeared?
His Eminence the Cardinal never mentioned this before.

The Wind-Favored One of the Church of Storms looked disappointed. "Are you stupid? Look at the people here. Have you seen any Beyonders from the Church of Evernight?"

He had seen Storm, Craftsman, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, Mother Earth, the Eternal Blazing Sun, and the Church of the God of War, including those Beyonders who often stayed out of secret organizations. Wolf Conches had seen them all. Suddenly, as if he had suddenly realized something, he said, "Are you saying that the Church of Evernight is behind this strange university?"

"I'm afraid it's more than that."

The Wind-Follower of the Church of Storms said mysteriously, "I saw it when I was riding on the bus. Those believers of the Night boarded the bus with tickets."

Wolf Conches opened his mouth slightly and said "Huh?" in confusion.

His first reaction was: Ah, why are we treated differently?

No, why were they suppressed, while the people from the Church of Night were invited up in a friendly manner?

We are all members of the True God Church, okay?

Aren't you afraid of offending the Storm Church?!
"In short, the Church of Evernight definitely has a close connection with Miskatonic University. All the churches are asking about it, but the Church of Evernight's attitude is unexpectedly firm... Not long ago, it was said that something serious happened. Of course, I don't know the details, but I only know that it's related to the Church of Evernight, and involves high-level secrets. It might even be related to that person..."

The Wind-loving One of the Church of the Storm gestured to an empty space nearby where Nicolas Flamel had been standing.

The angel of the thief's path, a true great man.

"But after that, the Ares Church went crazy for some reason. Feysac had also had some negotiations with the Loen Royal Family. As you know, the vast majority of the Loen Royal Family believe in the Lord. This matter couldn't be hidden from the high-ranking officials within the church."

This is also what His Eminence the Cardinal told them when he was chosen to hitchhike for the church.

"Furthermore, it's said that the talks between the Church of Evernight and the Church of the God of War broke down before even reaching the meeting before the gods..."

That is to say, you reject the other party's request and say that you will do it if you are not satisfied.

Anyway, the two churches are sworn enemies, so fighting is not uncommon.

They're fighting each other, we're used to it. They talk as if no one has a true God as the boss. Over the years, no church has been overthrown by a rival church.

The Wind-Follower of the Church of the Storm patted Wolf Conches's shoulder sympathetically and said soothingly, "So, His Eminence the Cardinal means to gather the relevant intelligence and bring it back safely and intact."

However, as of now, this mission is not too dangerous. Even if you hang outside that neat train, at most you will be a little embarrassed when traveling through the spirit world because of various strange creatures and unprotected travel.

"By the way, I see those people have left, why are you still here?"

The Wind-loving One of the Church of Storms asked with some confusion at this time.

Wolfe Conches was silent for a moment.

The Wind-Follower of the Church of Storms looked at his companions suspiciously.

Then, he heard the other party's voice filled with grief and anger, "Just two points! Just two points!"

"??"

Inside Miskatonic University.

Nikolai brought the people over from Khoyi University, handed them over to the secret dolls here, and then prepared to leave Tingen.

As the apparent controller and leader of Miskatonic University, he not only needs to deal with situations within the school, but social interaction is also a very important means and basis at certain times.

For example, not long ago, His Holiness the Pope of the Church of Evernight invited him to the Tranquil Church in Winter County to discuss issues concerning the divine conference proposed by the Church of the God of War, as well as some "minor issues" of other church leaders.

As the "2+1" Angel King, Nicholas, who is almost equivalent to all the wrong incarnations, will inevitably encounter some historical problems after replacing Amon, such as the small difficulties of the official organizations where the three former Angel Kings Feng, Zhi and Bai are now.

If the pinnacle of power on the path of error is controlled by someone with ill intentions, then there is actually not much difference between it being controlled by Amon.

Rubbing his brows, Nicholas looked at Tang, who was sitting in a high-back chair, eating biscuits and reading a novel.

"Tang, are you going?"

"No." Tang raised his head, his face full of resistance, and said righteously: "I am a person, thank you."

I have social anxiety and don’t want to talk. I just want to stay in a dark corner and grow mushrooms.

As a mysterious servant, serving mysterious things is what he should do now.

No socializing, no going.

Nicholas: “…”

It feels like the kids at home don't want to come out and see their relatives during the Chinese New Year...

Nicholas sighed silently, nodded towards Tang, straightened his hat, and his figure gradually disappeared. He exchanged places with an avatar in Winter County and headed to Winter County to have a friendly "exchange" with the Pope of the Church of Evernight.

After seeing Nicola leave, Tang reached into the historical gap image and took out a few bags of potato chips, then turned his gaze to other places in Miskatonic University.

"Official Beyonders can avoid many detours after specific training." This is the most direct and effective training method calculated by the system. For Beyonders, the experience of handling cultists and supernatural cases, each accumulation is a consideration of life. No matter whether it is a church, a secret organization or a wild Beyonder, the birth of every mid-sequence and high-sequence Beyonder must step on countless corpses and crawl out of the pile of dead bodies.

This is not only about the enemy, but also about our companions. Every rule and regulation is watered with blood and tears. In this case, targeted training to reduce casualties is extremely important.

Tang looked at his system tasks again.

As one of the side quests, the task of establishing a secret organization now only requires continuously increasing the weight of Miskatonic University in the eyes of the church, wild extraordinary people and secret organizations in order to continuously reap the mission rewards.

And now all the rewards for system tasks are magic books.

"Although the effects of those magic books are very good, I always feel that there is some deeper meaning in them that I don't know."

Tang thought for a moment, removed the snacks from the historical pores, and asked the system:
"Tongzi, what is the hermit's apotheosis ritual?"

As a Sequence 1 Mystic Attendant, with the help of a large number of knowledge fragments, Tang quickly got the answer he wanted from the system, no, to be more precise, from the pinnacle of the second knowledge path, that is, the knowledge wilderness.

really.

Tang's eyes flickered slightly, and then he stood up from the high-back chair, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, and looked out at the huge, stacked and magnificent building complex.

Archer, who learned the name of the subsequent sequence of potions in the Assassin's Path from a high-level assassin, felt like his soul was floating in the sky.

Those who were in a similar situation to him were not only the numerous male assassins, but also extraordinary people like Celia who had chosen the hunter path.

"As long as I don't try to become a demigod, I think I should be fine."

In the student cafeteria, Celia, who had turned her grief and anger into appetite, spoke to Archer while eating pasta.

"Witch... Sequence 7, actually called a witch..."

Archer's voice still seemed ethereal, like a ghost that could not find the ground, light and airy.

A high-ranking witch personally demonstrated what witches' black magic is, and what joy, despair and pain are.

Celia called him several times before he came back from that strange state.

"Are you okay?" Celia asked cautiously.

To be honest, this was the first time she heard that Sequence 4 of the Hunter Path and Sequence 7 of the Assassin Path would change the gender of the person who took the potion.

But it was okay for her. Sequence 4 was already at the level of demigod, half human, and definitely not that easy to achieve. But on the assassin path that Archer was on, Sequence 7 would change a person's gender.

...Don't mention it, it's quite mystical.

“It’s just a little bit hard to accept.”

Archer smiled bitterly. If he had been so glad before that he had crossed the gap between ordinary people and extraordinary people and was walking on a road further ahead than others, now he just wanted to slap himself twice for not waiting to mix potions and become an assassin as soon as he arrived in a strange place.

"Don't drink potions carelessly."

He felt that he had used foreseeable and profound enough lessons to warn himself that the extraordinary world is not just magical.

Just as the high-ranking assassin said, the underlying rules of this world are chaos and disorder.

Of course, there is still a way to save the situation.

Extraordinary beings with low sequences can use Sequence 4 of the Sun Path, without the characteristics of the Dark One, to extract low-sequence potions while alive, retaining only the spiritual and physical improvements gained during the promotion process, giving up Extraordinary powers, and then re-selecting a new path and re-blending potions for promotion.

However, even so, after extracting Beyonder characteristics, the spirit and body transformed by the potion are more likely to lose control when re-adapting to other potions. If it is a Sequence 9 Beyonder who intends to choose another path, it is fine. In the case of Sequence 8 or Sequence 7 who has completed a promotion,

If they choose the path of God again, if it is an adjacent path, there may not be too many problems, but if it is a non-adjacent path, then even if they know how to play, they may have to wander in the low sequence for the rest of their lives, which is an unchangeable ending.

Secondly, the Darkless One is a high-sequence Beyonder, a Sequence 9 or Sequence 8 Beyonder. It is difficult to invite such a big shot.

Although there are indeed Marionettes at the level of the Undying Dark One within Miskatonic University, the cost of having people of this level help to extract extraordinary characteristics is also very high.

These are the exact words spoken by the high-ranking witch and assassin.

As long as they are willing to pay the price, and before they reach a higher level, they can choose to extract the potion, reselect the adjacent hunter path, or jump to other paths.

Although this has side effects and you may always remain in the middle or low sequence, there is no need to worry too much about your gender.

Archer wanted to pay for his mistake. He was only a Sequence 9 Beyonder, and his promotion had only been less than half a year. Perhaps it wasn't difficult?

But the price of asking a Darkless One to do this for him was also something Archer could hardly afford.

"It would be a lie to say it's okay." Archer gave Celia a forced smile, but his face was still bitter. "But this is the only way."

He wasn't just an instigator, just a low-sequence Beyonder.

Everyone has ambition. After understanding the sequence path and the meaning contained therein, everyone yearns for higher sequences and those beings that have opened the door to divinity.

"At worst, I can turn back at Sequence 4."

Archer thought through gritted teeth.

Celia: ...

What's going on with Yazi, who seems to be more motivated?

-

All the extraordinary people who "graduated" from Hoy University were arranged by Nicholas to Miskatonic University. This was not only because most of these extraordinary people belonged to official and secret organizations and had a lot of experience and knowledge that wild extraordinary people could hardly understand, but also because of Tang's decision.

"If we don't understand, how can we let them take the intelligence back to their own organizations and report to their superiors?"

A high-sequence notary from the Sun Path signed an agreement with these official, secret organizations, or wild extraordinary people, requiring them to do something within Miskatonic University.
