Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 220 219 He looks like he's about to break...

At the beginning of the new year, after escaping the difficult and cruel hell of linguistics, more than a thousand men and women who came from all over the north and south continents received their own unique identity certificates on the second day of school.

It was a small, delicate, rectangular object about half the size of a palm, wrapped in transparent glass.

This rectangular object has the Miskatonic University emblem printed on the front. It is an open book, composed of wheat ears, flowers, stars, curves and planes, and various mystical symbols with complex meanings. The back is engraved with some information about the owner of the sign.

"This is an ID card deeply bound to your spirit and soul. Before you die, it cannot be traded, bought, exchanged, or used through common esoteric means. After you die, or if you become unable to control yourself for some special reason, the ID card will also be useless."

"With this thing, you can use it to open a door to Miskatonic University at any door in Tingen City, anything with the concept of a 'door'. Similarly, you can use this ID to enjoy preferential treatment in medical care and trade. Some people from less well-off families can receive a monthly subsidy. It can serve as a mobile savings card, eliminating the need to carry it with you. "

The occult version of an 'identity card', a 'meal card' that can be used to pay.

Archer looked at what was written on the back of his ID card.

Name: Archer Lancaster.

Assassin Path Sequence 9, Assassin (Note: Cannot be observed/spiritually infused by others, this effect can be turned off by silently saying "turn off" in your mind).

It was very brief, except for the name, there was only information about the route he was on.

"But what does it mean that this cannot be observed by others?"

Archer looked at his companions curiously, but only the names in the name column were displayed on their identification cards.

Beyond that, Archer couldn't see their specific sequence names and pathways.

Just like the note says, it cannot be observed

“It’s kind of like the extraordinary power of audience access.”

Celia, who had a good knowledge of mysticism, also looked at Alice's ID card, which seemed to have become silent again. Obviously, she did not see any other information on the other party's ID card.

"Audience pathway?"

Archer only knew that there were 22 divine paths, but he didn't know much about these basic occult knowledge.

"Sequence 9, spectator, possesses exceptional observation abilities... Sequence 8, mind reader..."

"As for the Beyonders of the Audience Path, after reaching the Middle Sequence, they seem to have acquired an Beyonder ability that can influence the senses of others. If they want you to see something, you can see it, and if they don't want you to see something, you can't see it..."

Celia recounted the story and said proudly, "I'll check these things carefully when I go back this time."

She spent a lot of time studying the information about the path to God.

"Awesome." Regulus clapped his hands naively.

"Hmm." Celia was about to continue when a strange fluctuation appeared on the back of their ID cards.

"Bishop's Building B, Room B203, please arrive before 14:00 PM."

It seemed like different words appeared on everyone's ID card.

Will it change accordingly?

This doesn't seem to be as simple as Celia said, that it is just hidden information.

Archer and Regulus both looked at Celia, but Celia was embarrassed for a moment, then said uncertainly: "Maybe, maybe it's the extraordinary ability of the High Sequencers of the Audience Path?"

Emmm, okay.

There were quite a few bishop buildings in the school. Several people told each other which bishop buildings and floors they needed to go to. Only Celia and Archer were in the same bishop building, but also not on the same floor.

When Archer arrived at Room 203, Building B, Bishop's Building, which was written on the back of his ID card, he found that this was also a not-so-small tiered classroom.

As if to take into consideration the people of the Feysac Empire who were said to have giant bloodlines, most of the places in Miskatonic University were built extremely tall, making it very convenient for these Beyonders who were over 1.9 meters tall to move around.

At this moment, there were some people sitting in this neat and clean classroom, more men than women, about forty or fifty people.

Archer took a quick look and found that many of them seemed to have the qualities of an assassin.

"The school seems to have assigned classrooms based on different pathways. Are all the people here assassins?"

When the magnificent bell rang outside the window, Archer had already taken his seat, and even at this moment when the bell rang, two-thirds of the seats in the classroom were still empty.

There are not many people, or rather, not many people choose "Assassin".

Those who did not take the potion seemed to be gathered together and explained some basic knowledge of mysticism.

Archer couldn't help but feel fortunate at this moment. He had become an extraordinary person, and had heard a lot of knowledge about mysticism from Celia. He was already ahead of many people in the field of the extraordinary.

When the bells stopped ringing, a blonde girl walked in from outside.

That seemed to be their teacher.

The girl who walked slowly into the classroom was wearing a soft white long gauze. Her expression was gentle and full of emotion. It seemed that every glance and smile of hers carried a unique charm that belonged to the essence of women.

But when the blonde girl stood on the podium with a smile, looking at the students below, her red lips slightly parted, and her extremely gentle voice rang like a silver bell beside every man and every woman.

Archer felt something unusual in his body. He looked at the girl on the podium and swallowed involuntarily, almost uncontrollably.

Not to mention the men present, even the female assassins showed abnormal conditions under the manipulation of the girl on the podium.

"Welcome to the world of witches."

This high-ranking witch, who was always talking and laughing, slowly uttered these words.

Her hair stood up in front of the terrified eyes of the forty-seven witch aspirants below the stage, spreading out like countless spider silks, blocking the windows and plunging the entire classroom into a dark, suffocating, and cramped environment.

On the top of those countless hairs grew one emotionless, crazy eye after another, either black or white.

"Therefore, those who choose the Witch Path or the Hunter Path will undergo physical changes at Sequence 7 or Sequence 4. This is the fundamental change brought about by the potion. If you wish to choose these two paths, please make your choice carefully."

Among the 1,142 students who came to Miskatonic University from all over the northern and southern continents, about one-third were not extraordinary people themselves, but were simply lucky or had been exposed to information about the occult.

Miskatonic University is based on the 22 Divine Paths and offers a variety of courses that conform to the path sequence, including basic mysticism, advanced mysticism, semiotics, spells, ritual magic, mineralogy, monstrosity, medicine, identification, psychology, etc. It also has a large number of practical courses, including dealing with monsters, survival skills in specific extreme environments, combat science, etc.

Among the 22 divine paths, adjacent paths are bundled into new departments, and each department is divided into different classes according to different sequences. Students can freely combine the various courses offered by Miskatonic University according to the characteristics of their own paths and the different sequences they are in.

Outside of these departments, those who have not acquired extraordinary abilities before entering the school, after receiving a certain amount of education in mystical knowledge, can obtain the corresponding extraordinary materials and potion formulas according to their own wishes.

Of course, the school cannot give these things for free. You can get the corresponding things from the school by spending a certain amount of money or repaying it after signing a contract.

In principle, the school does not restrict their choice of path. It only explains the characteristics of each path clearly, informs them of the pros and cons, and then gives them the right to choose.

For example, the Secret Prayer Path where the True Creator is, the Abyss Path where the dark side of the universe is, the Prisoner Path where the Bound God is, and the Witch Path where the Original Witch is, are not good choices.

Ah, as for those who were assassins before coming in... emm, maybe, they can be transformed again when they become high-sequence.

Of course, the school strongly supports those who choose the Diviner Path, the Thief Path, and the Apprentice Path.

Apart from anything else, these three are the sequence paths that are rich enough in potion formulas, abundant extraordinary characteristics, and sufficient role-playing rules and various experiences.

Moreover, it provides a one-stop service for employment upon graduation, including enrollment, study, graduation and employment.

The Secret Order sincerely invites you to join it.

"The school can reward you with points based on the assignments you complete daily. These points can be redeemed for rare but valuable items within the school, such as mid-series potion formulas, special magical items, or the right to use a Sealed Artifact..."

A series of various descriptions made their hearts beat fast. There were not only magic potion formulas, magical potions, and strange sealed objects that could be exchanged, but also one extremely important thing.

"Can you bring my family, can you bring my mom and dad here?!"

"Yes."

The young man standing on the podium responded with a smile.

His voice echoed in every corner of the classroom. It was steady, yet it had the power to move everyone's heart: "When you officially step into the true Extraordinary world, you will discover that Extraordinary people possess powers beyond those of ordinary people."

"However, this will not only bring you money, status, honor, power, and strength, but also danger, madness, terror, distortion, and chaos."

"The underbelly of this world isn't black and white, light or dark. It's a distorted, chaotic foundation. When you truly step into the realm of the Beyonder, madness will accompany you until the end of your life."

"So, please choose whether to open this door called 'madness'."

Those who leave will have their memories erased, but will retain everything they have learned in the past three months.

The person who opens this door, before you step in, you can never be sure whether what lies before you is the Avenue of Stars or the abyss.

But the moment you step in, there is no turning back.

-

University of Khoj, Tingen.

Since last September, those carjackers who have received some training seem to be good people, but they seem to have lost interest in living.

These official, secret organization, or wild extraordinary people saw an unexpected person today.

That was Nicolas Flamel, the Sequence 1 Time Worm.

"It's over for today."

This Sequence 1, now the Angel King, said so.

Hearing his words, everyone was excited and suddenly felt like crying.

Wolf Conches, the Wind-loving of the Church of the Storm, already felt like crying. He did it! He really did it!

Lord, he got a high score of 70 points for the first time yesterday!
I passed! Hahahaha, 70 points! I passed!
Could it be that after he passed the test, the Lord finally favored him and allowed him to escape from the sea of ​​suffering?

However, it is not.

"It's a pity, but Mr. Wolf Conches, it seems you're happy too early."

The angel, who wore a top hat and a tuxedo and had a soft face and no edges, spoke gently to Wolf Conches, a believer of the storm, who was so excited that he couldn't express it in words.

"From what I understand, your subjects like Ancient Hermetic, Giant Language, Monsterology, Ritual Studies, and Semiotics seem to have always been on the edge of passing. Hmm, you've never passed?"

Wolfe Conches's face froze for a moment.

Not far away, a Beyonder who seemed to be from the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom glanced at the Wind-Favored One.

Hey! I saw it! You always have that 'I won't argue with a fool' expression on your face. Believe it or not, I'll beat you up!

Wolf Conches roared inwardly, but his face twisted for a long time before he finally revealed an expression uglier than crying. He said to Nicolas Flamel, the King of Angels:
"Mr. Flamel, you, you mean..."

"Mr. Conches, although your level of cultural studies is, well..." Nicholas thought about the wording, "it is unsightly."

Wolfe Conches looked like he would break at the word.

"But in your daily combat and training, you surpass those of the same sequence and path."

This Sequence 1, the Time Worm who had become the Angel King, showed a row of neat teeth and smiled, "I think you would be happy to stay for a while longer to make up for the shortcomings in your cultural studies, right?"

The up-and-down Wolf Conchess really looked like he was about to break.
