Chapter 543 The Script Collapses! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

A speechless night!
The next morning, Audrey opened her eyes refreshed and saw a figure busy at his desk.

She sat up, lifted the thin goose down quilt, and found herself whiter than winter snow and more lustrous than a gemstone.

A young body, brimming with youth and vitality, was thus exposed in its entirety.

Audrey, barefoot, tiptoed across the cashmere carpet as she crept toward Musheng.

A sly smile lingered on her face, as if she wanted to startle him.

"what?"

Quietly approaching Mu Sheng from behind, Audrey was about to play a prank when her attention was drawn to something on the desk.

A transparent, almost colorless glove was seen, disassembled into two pieces, which were laid out on the table.

Audrey bent down to get a better look.

Suddenly, several beams of light appeared above the gloves.

There was a golden light radiating a sacred aura, a black light exuding a dreamlike haze, and a white light filled with majesty...

Five colors of light circulated and flowed inside the transparent glove, making it look exceptionally dazzling.

'What beautiful gloves! Why did Victory take them apart...'

Just as Audrey was feeling a little regretful, suddenly, five wailing and weeping broken souls burst out of the light.

The faces of these spirits were filled with pain and hatred!

"what!"

Audrey was startled by the horrifying scene and instinctively stepped back, but she lost her balance.

"Pfft~"

The chair legs slid quickly across the cashmere carpet.

Mu Sheng didn't get up. Instead, he suddenly exerted force with his waist and legs, causing the chair beneath him to slide rapidly.

Just as Audrey was about to fall, she sat steadily on his lap.

"Why are you so easily startled? How could you be so careless?"

Mu Sheng pulled the girl up by the back of her knees, making her curl up in his arms. Then, with a light tap of his foot, the chair slid back to the desk.

Holding the smooth, soft jade in his arms, Mu Sheng continued to examine the magical object in front of him.

Seeing that Mu Sheng ignored her, Audrey didn't make a fuss and just quietly watched him take the transparent glove apart.

A dozen minutes later, Mu Sheng completed his initial decomposition study, and Audrey finally spoke up to ask:
"Is this the 'wriggling hunger'?"

The imprisoned soul and the shape of the glove reminded her of the 'Sun's' description of the 'Shepherd' sequence during the Tarot meeting.

"Yes, this is the trump card that 'Hurricane General' relies on!"

"A magical item with 'shepherd' characteristics!"

"There are no signs of artificial creation. It should be the product of the fusion of the extraordinary characteristics and surrounding objects of a 'Shepherd' sequence extraordinary individual after death..."

Mu Sheng slowly revealed the results of his research.

"The fusion product of an extraordinary being after death?"

Audrey shifted her body, adjusting to a more comfortable position, and asked with a face full of curiosity:
"Is this how all magical items come about?"

"The vast majority of magical items are different from talismans and amulets; they are more like an inanimate, extraordinary being!"

While answering Audrey's questions, Mu Sheng changed his position while holding her.

They're tempting us like this so early in the morning, rubbing against each other like that!
"An extraordinary being that has become an inanimate object? How can an object be like a person?"

Audrey seemed uncomfortable in that position and shifted back to her original spot.

"What's the difference?"

"What are the requirements to become an extraordinary being? Taking potions, concentrating special abilities..."

"As long as these requirements are met, one can be considered an extraordinary being!"

"This subject can be a person, an animal, or a plant, so why can't it be an inanimate object?"

Mu Sheng said meaningfully, then lifted the soft jade in his arms a little higher to prevent it from moving around.

Images of Susie the golden retriever, Blackie the raven, and Rose Meatballs with human faces flashed through Audrey's mind.

This dog, this crow, and this flower are three living examples, aren't they?

Just as Mu Sheng said, if animals and plants can become extraordinary, why can't inanimate objects?

"But, but..."

Although Mu Sheng's words made a lot of sense, Audrey still felt somewhat unable to accept them.

Following this logic, wouldn't that mean that sequence characteristics are the core, and these people are just puppets and tools influenced and controlled by supernatural forces?

This reality is just too despairing!

Audrey refused to believe this claim!

Seeing the conflicted expression on her face, Mu Sheng realized that he had said a bit too much.

This kind of information, which involves the extraordinary systems of a mysterious world, is not something Audrey, who is only Sequence 9, could know.

"Alright, alright, it's just a particular viewpoint, don't take it so seriously..."

Mu Sheng laughed heartily, waved his hand to collect the 'wriggling hunger' that had been disassembled into a pile, got up and carried Audrey to the desk.

In her youthful pink attire, she began her daily morning reading!
The morning is when a person's physical and mental state is at its best. Reading during this time not only provides a better experience but also allows you to gain a wealth of knowledge.

Audrey knows this all too well; the high-quality experiences and rich knowledge have made her even stronger!

A few days later, Mu Sheng completed his analysis and deconstruction of 'wriggling hunger'.

This magical item had only one use for him: as an ingredient for a Sequence 5 potion.

"You are free!"

Still in Audrey's boudoir, Mu Sheng released the five broken souls that had been imprisoned by 'wriggling hunger'.

Faceless Man, Psychiatrist, Interrogator, Nightmare, Priest of Light.

This is the sequence of five broken souls in their previous lives.

These sequence abilities are extremely valuable to other extraordinary individuals.

Even if 'Crawling Hunger' can only unleash the 'Shepherd's' incomplete abilities, each sequence can only inherit a portion of the abilities.

It also increases their ability to deal with different dangers, which is a great addition to their capabilities.

But for Musheng, it's a double-edged sword!
As the confinement was lifted, a large amount of spiritual light emanated from the five broken souls.

Soon, the five broken souls completely dissipated.

And the extraordinary characteristics within their souls were also released, resulting in five cores that shimmered with different colors of light.

"Sequence 5: Priest of Light; Sequence 6: Faceless Man; Sequence 7: Psychiatrist, Nightmare, Inquisitor..."

Mu Sheng scratched his head; this was the first time he had ever gained so many extraordinary traits.

"Good man!"

"Who says pirates are all bad guys? Our 'Hurricane Admiral' is a great guy!"

Although only a Sequence 5 Priest of Light was useful to him, that did not stop Mu Sheng from labeling Qilingus a 'good guy'.

With a flick of his hand across the table, the five extraordinary attributes vanished instantly.

[Sequence 5: Blank (2/3)]

"More than a dozen more sequences have been found to have the same characteristics, and many of them are duplicates..."

As one's mind sank into their body, dozens of extraordinary characteristics from different sequences shimmered with varying brightness, like a dazzling starry sky.

“Audrey’s ‘Audience’ potion is almost finished being digested; we can now separate a portion of the ‘Mind Reader’ trait for her…”

"Well, if she doesn't mind!"

“Three ‘fortune tellers’, three ‘secret inquiries’, three ‘listeners’… and two ‘audiences’…”

"There are too many repetitive sequences. In the future, we should try to hunt for extraordinary traits through other means."

"My intuition tells me that collecting all twenty-two extraordinary abilities will be very useful later on!"

Mu Sheng murmured thoughtfully.

After taking stock, he not only sorted out the numerous extraordinary sequences in his body, but also gained a clearer understanding of the design concept for Sequence 5.

"Originally, I wanted to integrate my complex power system through the extraordinary methods of the mysterious world..."

"How come the more we integrate, the more abilities we have?" Mu Sheng was somewhat speechless. Fortunately, these sequence abilities were all under the same power system, so overall the approach was correct.

"The first four sequences represent the foundation, energy, spirit, and physique, respectively."

"Next is the fusion of the three treasures, as well as the integration of magic, ninjutsu... and these extraordinary abilities."

"Sequence 5:..."

"what?"

...

...

Tingen City, Blackthorn Security Company.

A blonde woman wearing a lotus leaf hat and a loose dress walked in from the doorway.

The young woman's belly was swollen, her eyes were unfocused, and her expression was melancholy, conveying a sense of inexplicable sorrow and brokenness.

"Miss Megius?"

Hearing Leonard's astonished voice, Klein finally remembered who the man was.

This young pregnant woman is connected to the Lanius case, which the night watchmen are currently investigating. She is a victim who became pregnant after being sexually assaulted.

Klein was somewhat suspicious and wary of Megos's arrival, but still stepped forward to greet her:
"Ms. Megos, what brings you to our Blackthorn Security Company?"

As Klein spoke, he prepared to use his spiritual vision to observe Megaius's condition.

However, his expression froze instantly.

An extreme fear surged through me, as if I were facing the deepest and most hopeless abyss.

"...An evil god!"

"An evil god attempting to descend!"

"Oops!"

Klein suddenly realized that a crisis capable of destroying the entire city of Tingen was approaching.

...

...

Ten minutes later.

"Wow~"

A baby's cry rang out in the dim, quiet room.

This is not the cry of an ordinary baby; it is the child of an evil god in the womb, forcibly descending to earth.

The cries contained a terrifying power; in just a moment, the night watchmen present began to bleed from their seven orifices.

Blood flowed continuously from his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears, and dizziness and suffocation instantly overwhelmed Klein's senses.

They had made the most thorough preparations, even bringing out the 'Ashes of Saint Selena,' the seal used to suppress the Vatican in Tingen.

Why is it still impossible to stop all of this from happening?

Leonard had fainted, and Captain Dunn had reached his limit, with a wound on his right chest that nearly severed the bone...

At that moment, the headless body of Megos, the mother of the evil god's son, turned towards him.

The charred, fallen skin and flesh, the pure yet eerie white bone knife—all proclaimed the arrival of death.

'Are you going to die? '

Klein knew that, even at their peak, they couldn't possibly stand against the son of the evil god.

Not to mention the current situation where everyone is caught off guard and has suffered heavy losses.

At that moment, the image of Old Neil before his death suddenly flashed into his mind.

Anger and resentment welled up inside me!

'No! I don't accept it!'

'I don't want to face death anymore! I don't want to feel this powerless anymore!'

'You son of a bitch, you evil god!'

'I'm going to smash all of you to pieces!'

A flickering flame flashed in Klein's eyes, deep within his spiritual realm, above the greyish-white mist.

On that mottled and ancient bronze table, a small and exquisite box suddenly opened by itself.

"Puff~"

"Puff~"

A strong heartbeat sound immediately echoed above the gray fog.

A large amount of scorching hot steam spewed out of the box, instantly filling the entire void.

The grayish-white mist instinctively tried to dispel and annihilate the scorching steam, but at that moment, Klein's will descended.

As the master of the Source Castle, Klein, at Sequence 8, has gained even greater control over this gray fog.

"strength!"

"I need power!"

"I need the power to change all tragedies!"

Klein's spirit roared above the gray fog, and large amounts of scorching steam began to flow into his body along with the spirit.

They surged into the depths of this grayish-white mist!

In the real world, at Blackthorn Security Company, in a deep, dimly lit reception hall.

"Crack!"

A golden bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere and struck Klein!

"boom!!!"

A burst of scorching steam erupted, and a three-meter-tall armored giant emerged from the thick white steam.

"Klein!?"

Captain Dunn, holding the box containing 'Saint Selena's ashes,' looked at Klein, who had transformed into a giant, with a look of shock on his face.

Even the Mother, Megas, who was being controlled by the evil god, slowed down for a moment.

"You son of a bitch, evil god, go back to your starry sky!!!"

"Holy Light, Steam, Evil-Slaying Slash!"

Klein controlled the armored giant, following the instincts of this body, and struck out with a palm towards the evil god mother, Megaius.

Faced with the attack of the unknown giant, Megas, who had lost her mind, seemed to sense a danger.

Raising the white bone knife in his hand to defend, the son of the evil god cried out a few more times from his swollen belly.

Wow~ Wow~ Wow~

Captain Dunn, who was standing to the side, suddenly became delirious, and even Saint Selena's ashes could not protect him.

On the contrary, Klein, who faced all of this head-on, remained unshaken in his consciousness despite the double protection of the gray fog and the giant's body.

"boom!!!"

The white bone blade cleaved through the armored giant's hand, but in the next instant, terrifying holy light exploded like the sun.

The evil god's mother, Megas, had her charred and blackened body instantly disintegrated.

The half-illusory, half-real evil god's child within his belly, having lost its anchor in reality, transformed into black mist with resentment and anger, dissolving into holy light and steam.

The crisis of the evil god's descent has been averted!
"Tingen is safe! Captain, Leonard, and everyone else is safe!"

Klein relaxed, and the armored giant on his body instantly dissipated, revealing his exhausted body, devoid of spiritual energy.

Just then, a slightly pale hand silently appeared in his back.

If nothing unexpected happens, the next instant, that hand will pierce through Klein's chest and crush his heart.

Ince Zangwill had long harbored murderous intent towards Klein, who had repeatedly ruined his scripts.

Kill this clown, and then take Saint Selena's ashes!

He can then advance from Sequence 5 'Gatekeeper' of the 'Death' pathway to Sequence 4 'Night Watcher' of the 'Night' pathway!
He thus gained divinity and became a powerful being who was half-god and half-human!
Just as Ince Zangwell's fingers touched Klein's back, a clear voice suddenly rang in his ear.

"Could you give me your special ability?"
