Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 402 Miracles for you, breath for you

Under Paddo's watchful gaze, several "withered flowers" suddenly sprouted from the branches beneath Curly-haired Baboon's feet. These flowers were originally meant to grow on Curly-haired Baboon's body, but they were twisted by some inexplicable force and moved to the nearby frozen ground, breaking through the ice.

The curly-haired baboon maintained its mocking smile and roared once more.

Padma looked at the curly-haired baboon and opened her mouth as well.

However, she did not roar like a wild beast, and made no sound at all.

But the withered flower split open and let out the sound of Padmeow.

"Beep beep beep, drip drip drip drip."

"O Hakimi, O Hakida."

"Watashiwa, Ouf U."

These words came from several different withered flowers, almost in no particular order, and were spoken in less than a second.

Of course, it's all just a joke anyway, so whether or not you finish saying it isn't a big deal.

The moment Padmon looked at them, the disaster "Hiss at You" had already begun.

Click.

The branch beneath their feet suddenly snapped, and the curly-haired baboon fell from the tree.

On the ground, coincidentally, was a pile of sharp stones with their pointed ends pointing upwards.

But when the baboon landed, the pebbles strangely changed direction.

The baboon looked at Paddo and twisted her "use of calamity" behavior, redirecting the flow of calamity.

A tree behind them crashed down, but it didn't hit the baboon.

Beside Padma.

Bloody, skinless arms, slippery tentacles with teeth, and bluish-black vines with baby faces protruding from behind the "Gate of the Underworld" in the feathered serpent's mouth, reached out to grab Klein, Padmon, and Alger.

Klein tossed the cat, Pado, behind his shoulder, neither dodging nor flinching, letting the arms, tentacles, and vines grab his body and legs. Not only that, he even actively cooperated with these scalp-chilling pulls, leaping over the enlarged doorway and half of his body entering the underworld.

The door was only so big; once Klein was caught, the tentacles and the like were no longer a concern for Alger, allowing the slightly weaker Alger to seize the opportunity to retreat.

Alger stumbled back a few steps, raised his left hand to summon a gust of wind that wrapped around Klein's foot, which was still halfway outside. He pulled back as he broke free from the grasping range, then raised his right hand, which was wrapped with arcs of electricity, and slashed at the feathered serpent from a distance.

Just then, a gentle breeze carrying the scent of Bodhi leaves swept by.

Klein's body seemed to pass through the gates of the underworld and through the body of the feathered serpent as if it had no physical form, landing on the ground, where he then flipped over and stood up again.

Suddenly, the door widened from the feathered serpent's mouth, engulfing its head, and then tightened sharply.

click!
The feathered serpent flapped its wings a few times, shattering the gates to the underworld. Its head, covered in blood, wounds, and signs of corrosion, emerged from the gates and glared angrily at Klein.

Without any visible action, several vortexes appeared near Klein in an instant, spinning rapidly and collapsing inward, forming a series of slightly blurry double bronze doors.

Then, all the doors exploded at the same time, and a shocking yellow-green mist enveloped Klein. The illusory light first burst forth, and then quickly transformed into all sorts of mysterious patterns, with an indescribable sense of depth and death.

Enveloped in mist, there was an endless darkness, like the deepest and darkest night sky.

Pairs of indescribable eyes were hidden in the deep darkness, densely packed everywhere, yet their specific shapes remained unseen.

A corner of the underworld was pulled into the real world, completely overlapping with it.

The spirit world is sealed off, and space is sealed off.

Whether it's travel or spatial transfer, everything is completely locked in, and no matter how hard they try, they can't escape this place where fog and darkness intertwine.

Bloody, skinless arms emerged from the ground, dark green vines resembling baby faces stretched out from the air, and hands with gaping mouths and teeth slashed down from the sky.

They screamed, laughed, cried, and shouted, scrambling to grab Klein from all directions.

But Klein's figure vanished from the spot with ease. The spirit world and space are sealed off, what does that have to do with my realm anchoring?

Go tell Akivili.

The instant after Klein disappeared, the mist and darkness rapidly collapsed inward, eventually coalescing into a sphere which was swallowed by the feathered serpent.

The taste is wrong.

The feathered serpent's eyes darted around, locking onto Alger, who was standing not far away.

Alger's body quickly withered, weathered, and crumbled, revealing the sand beneath his skin, transforming into a rough doll.

boom!
The doll exploded again, scattering sand everywhere.

Alger's true form was outlined behind a large tree, while he threw out several palm-sized puppets that were almost identical to the puppets from before.

The dolls landed on the ground and immediately ran in all directions.

This is the puppet stand-in for "Sand Tracer".

He tore open the sack and quickly pulled out several pieces of material.

In less than a second, a simple rocket launcher appeared in his hand.

Alger lunged forward and rolled away from the rotting tree, then turned, raised his rocket launcher, and aimed.

My lord, times have changed.

…………

After being flung away, Paddo Meow flew straight toward the baboon.

The baboon's gaze immediately met that of Padoma.

The vengeful spirit in the baboon's eyes vanished instantly. Using the dew that had condensed from the cold air and the inexplicably frozen ground, it completed one leap after another, quickly closing the distance between itself and Padoma.

It appeared in Padmon's pupils.

One after another, the summoned spirits appeared, covering the vengeful spirits as they approached Padoma, locking onto Padoma's evasive range.

Semi-transparent snowflakes appeared out of thin air, assisting the vengeful spirit in its maneuvering. A few seconds later, the vengeful spirit rapidly appeared where Padmon's eyes were, shrinking proportionally and becoming exceptionally clear.

This doesn't seem like a reflection of the outside world; the two little figures seem to live within the pupils.

Got it!
The smile on the wronged spirit's face became even more pronounced.

The curly-haired baboon, freed from the control of the vengeful spirit, should have collapsed or regained consciousness, but the nail driven into its head emitted an eerie crimson light, continuing to manipulate it.

Clearly, this is also a sealed artifact.

As the vengeful spirit possessed Padoma, the curly-haired baboon immediately raised its right hand, preparing to twist Padoma and the vengeful spirit's "control" over the body.

boom!
The candy beetle that Klein had recalled after releasing it and seeing the feathered serpent returned, piercing the curly-haired baboon's body like a bullet.

boom!boom!boom!boom!
The beetles all exploded, blasting the unsuspecting curly-haired baboon off balance. The twisting ability, however, did not affect Padoma.

At that moment, Padma closed her eyes, locking the vengeful spirit inside.

No matter how much Padmon looks like a real, existing being, she is essentially a memory entity that came from the simulated universe in Klein's mind; she is a memory spirit.

Possessing a Padma cat is essentially no different from directly entering the body of a mythical creature through the Hermit Path; the result is the same: being overwhelmed by a massive amount of information.

Using the abilities of "Shared Death" and "Fire Messenger," Padmon stuffed all 50,000 years of her memories into the spirit of the wronged soul who shared the same body as her.

It seems that this wronged spirit's mind wasn't as sharp as he had imagined; he suddenly went blank.
