Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 29 The Never-Ending Theater

Believe your lies.

Tang looked at the newly appeared 'Bionic Marionette' module in the system interface, and thought about it. He only had one Sequence 6 Marionette, so he decided to change to a more satisfactory one first.

After all, the marionettes cannot grow. Even if they are fed with magic potions, they will only be combined into strange seals, and the marionettes themselves cannot be promoted.

Even if this module is installed, the processor is still him and the puppet is still dead.

"Speaking of which, where did the vengeful spirit controlled by that strange sorcerer go?"

In the theater, the Trickster avoided Olson's exile by exchanging places with the Marionette. Logically, he should have been thrown out after the theater disappeared.

"It was made into a secret doll."

The system replied, "Everyone in that theater who wasn't already a Marionette was attacked. Aside from the Black Knight who had been in the path of the Marionette, all the other people, including the exiled wraiths who were no longer controlled by the Trickster, and the Beyonders and ordinary people who were still in the theater at the time, were turned into Marionettes."

"..."

So many people have disappeared in Tingen. The church will conduct a detailed investigation into this large-scale missing persons case, and there may even be demigods from the temple coming to investigate.

After all, it is a seal involving the angel level.

However, even if an investigation were conducted, the theater itself was a Sequence Two personality, coupled with the influence of multiple demigod-level marionettes, as well as his father's personality, the system's personality, his own personality in the "knowledge by person" mode, and so on. If one wanted to find out through divination, a Beyonder who was not good at divination would probably be disappointed.

It’s okay if the divination fails, but if it fails, unless you are at the demigod level, you will be in trouble no matter what you divine.

Tang simply ignored the 'bionic marionette' module and looked towards his warehouse.

"To be precise, the system's mission rewards are pretty standard and not unexpected."

After all, he has completed many tasks, and the system rarely gives tasks that directly give things. Most of them are appraisal times, craftsman times or knowledge fragments...ah, it is also possible that the system is also very poor.

The highlight of this mission is still here.

Tang rubbed his hands and felt like he was opening a blind box in his previous life.

When he opened the system introduction, dense text appeared before his eyes in an instant.

"Good guy, really good guy."

Don's eyes widened.

'Sealed Object: [Never-Ending Theater].'

Item Information: This sealed artifact, created by combining the Beyonder characteristics of a Sequence 2 Miracle Worker, maintains a high degree of 'alive' properties.

Description: This appears to be an ordinary box. Open the lid and you'll see a simple theater inside. Numerous lifelike puppet models are placed on the stage and in the auditorium. It's not hard to tell that some of the models have painful expressions.

"When the box is opened, a special 'curtain' will unfold from the center of the theater. The curtain will take up to six minutes to fully form, during which time the area covered by the curtain will continue to expand. Without an audience, the curtain can only cover a 100m x 100m cubic space in the real world. There are no spatial restrictions on the interior space."

"All spiritual beings enclosed by the curtain will passively enter the theater and become members of the audience. They can only leave after fulfilling the theater's requirements."

'As the number of 'audiences' inside increases, the scope of the curtain will continue to expand to the surrounding areas.'

'Note: The curtain has the ability to cut off connections between the inside and outside of the area it covers. As the number of viewers increases, this ability to cut off connections will become stronger.'

When he saw this, Tang paused.

"The Diviner Path should be Sequence One, and only after reaching the Servant of Mysteries does it possess this ability, similar to the creation of a divine kingdom. Is it because during the Four Emperors' War, the Night Path or other paths were influenced by the power of concealment, causing the seals created after the Miraculous Worker's death to also possess this ability?" "Or is it because the Marionettes they control contain demigods or angels with similar Beyonder powers? Or perhaps they used the power of miracles to give the curtains they created the power of 'concealment'?"

Emm, not sure, let’s wait and see.

'Extraordinary Ability:'

'It possesses the power to accumulate miracles, fulfilling the miracles of others. The more miracles accumulated, the stronger the power it unleashes. This is the core of the extraordinary ability.'

'The entire theater can be moved into a certain historical void and last for 30 minutes.'

"It can reproduce anyone who has entered the theater, up to six people, including two angels."

"It can turn those who don't meet the requirements of a miracle into a puppet..."

"You can perform divination..."

"A magician has magic skills..."

'...'

Negative impact:
'Everyone who enters the theater must satisfy a miracle before they can leave. If they do not satisfy the miracle, they will become a puppet.'

'When you enter the theater, a part of you becomes a marionette, and the astral thread will gradually be controlled by the theater. Even if you don't become a marionette during the performance, you will continue to become one over time. At the same time, if the number of audience members in the theater does not increase for a period of time, the astral thread will randomly control people outside the theater to enter.'

'Sealing method: Tell it a miracle that it can achieve with its status, but cannot easily accomplish. Place it in a black box and place it in a sealed space. No objects with spiritual connections are allowed within fifty meters.'

In other words, even if a Beyonder on the Path of Destiny was lucky enough not to be called by name, he or she would become a Marionette as time passed.

Even if someone realizes the problems with the theater and doesn't come in, it will still force them to join.

"Compared to other angel-level seals, the negative impact shouldn't be that significant, but it's very targeted, difficult to complete, and difficult to satisfy."

For example, the first one is that if you want to leave you must demonstrate a miracle. No one can leave except Olsson, who used the steam engine principle he provided to meet the "industrial miracle" and used compressed water to produce metallic hydrogen to meet the "miracle of creation".

There are many other things besides these, but most of them are consistent with the fortune teller's approach.

As for the secret puppets, Tang looked at the densely packed names below and asked the system to give him a simplified version. However, he found that apart from the Sequence 4 demon, the only other demigod-level secret puppet in the theater was a War Bishop of Sequence 3 of the Red Sacrifice Path.

The number was less than he thought.

"There are only two demigod-level puppets. The others are historical projections. Well, that's normal. After all, demigod puppets aren't everywhere."

However, Tang never saw the Sequence 3 Secret Doll until he died. It must have been the theater's hidden treasure.

As a result, he was directly hit by "knowledge chasing people".

Tang directly scrolled the list to the bottom of the two semi-mysterious dolls, where there was also a special secret doll.

'Secret Marionette: Meatball.'

He didn't complain about why the system was named so strangely. When he saw the name, he thought of the monster that the black knight had fought before.

This should be the biggest gain of his adventure besides the Miracle Master Seal itself.

All I saw on the system interface was a bunch of things. Yes, they were really a bunch of extraordinary characteristics gathered together to form an indescribable thing.
