Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 302 How to escape from 301?
There is only a thief who steals for a thousand days, so how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?
Adam, in his position as a visionary and in the adjacent path, belongs to the true creator of the mad human nature of the ancient sun god, who guides the resurrection of the ancient sun god with divinity. However, he is currently only the king of angels and has not yet reached the level of a true god. His brother, Amon, has fallen to the second level of sequence and does not dare to manifest in his true form on the northern and southern continents, so he cannot provide much effective help.

After all, if Amon's true form were to appear, he would be hung up and turned into a puppet on the spot.

In a battle between sequences, Adam cannot directly intervene and break ties with Don and Nicholas, the two angel kings.

The true Creator was naturally aware of Adam's scheme. As the "Hanged Man," who was already Sequence 0, Adam's more complete and more insane humanity, along with the divinity possessed by the "Hanged Man," would also make Him want to approach Adam, devour him, and become the dual-path true God of the "Dreamer" and the "Hanged Man."

Between these two, Adam's advantage lies in his ability to move freely, not being too restricted by the seven gods, having the second blasphemous tablet, the help of Amun, and the Hermit of Twilight guiding the world's trends. However, his disadvantages are equally obvious: he is merely the King of Angels, not yet a "dreamer."

The tide of the times has not yet reached the point Adam foresaw.

The true creator, on the other hand, is a true god of sequence 0. With the help of the mercury serpent Urolius, even though He is sealed by the seven gods and blocked in the Eastern Continent, He can still interfere with the Northern Continent through certain means. Moreover, He is closer to the first blasphemous tablet and it is easier for Him to obtain that blasphemous tablet that can mobilize the power of the Chaos Sea.

The disadvantage was that He was trapped in the Eastern Continent, unable to move freely, and unable to confront Adam, who had not yet become a god, at the complete Sequence 0 True God level.

What followed was a race against time: would Adam become a "dreamer" first, or would the true Creator be the first to emerge from the Forsaken Land and confront Adam?

Devouring and being devoured, dominator and dominated—this is the struggle between Adam and the true Creator.

However, in terms of the outcome, the ancient sun god will inevitably return in the end.

"And in a struggle at this level, the forces that can participate, or the angels, are naturally very few."

To avoid revealing Adam's divine aspect as an ancient sun god, the support of almost all Sequence 0 true gods was meaningless in this struggle.

Tang's smile became more genuine, and tiny, glittering points of light flashed rapidly in his dark eyes, which looked as if they were immersed in the bottom of a vast ocean.

"Well then, it depends on what sincerity you have to offer, Mr. Grisha."

-

Picking up the "Shepherd" extraordinary characteristic that had fallen to the ground, Tang dusted off the sticky, bloody parts, glanced at the flesh and blood that had exploded on the ground and been completely contaminated by the power of the true creator, stuffed the extraordinary characteristic into the system space, and then released the maintenance of his own historical pore image.

“Mr. B, you let him in on purpose.”

In Euclidean space, Nikolai looked at Tang.

As an angel with authority over the realm of observation, Tang discovered that the flesh and blood of the true creator were hidden inside Mr. B's stomach, a fact Tang already knew when Mr. B stepped into Tingen City.

"Ah, right, that's how we can negotiate terms."

Tang sat lazily on the rocking chair that had appeared behind him at some point, swaying back and forth, tilting his head, relaxing his body, and slumping on the rocking chair like a pancake, his eyelids drooping, as if he might fall asleep at any moment.

Even in this state, Tang's voice remained calm: "Although we cooperated with Adam, that doesn't mean we can't cooperate with the true Creator, does it?"

When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits; Nikolai certainly understood this principle.

Since both sides want to compete, is it reasonable for him, as a third party, to raise prices arbitrarily?
"As long as it doesn't affect the revival of the ancient sun god, we should take advantage of these two to make a little money. It's not a loss. Adam doesn't care if he knows. For the inhuman God, as long as what we do doesn't harm the whole world, He won't do anything to us."

Otherwise, why would he try to trick those gullible demigods and angels in the Twilight Hermits' Guild into offering themselves up for his death?

Nikolai nodded, neither confirming nor denying.

He straightened his black silk hat and looked once more at the countless orbs of light in front of him, monitoring the condition of the examinees. If anything went wrong, he would throw them out.

Now that the exam is halfway through, almost half of the light orbs have sunk to the bottom of Euclidean space, making contact with reality and landing in the real world.

The remaining examination rooms are either those with complex rules, such as those with "strange rules" or those with a long time span that require a certain amount of time to operate, or those like the "Level 1" examination rooms where angels and saints are located, which are dangerous, crazy, and difficult to resolve in a short period of time.

The almost uninhabited planet has a thick atmosphere that obscures the sun and moon. It is a colony, but the people in the colony have mysteriously disappeared.

This is a planet almost the same size as Earth.

Planet 426: Parasites is an examination room inhabited by a monster that initially appears as eggs, housed in a crashed alien horseshoe-shaped spaceship. Under certain circumstances, the creatures inside these eggs will hatch and place the eggs, or embryos, of their kind into the organism's body.

As time goes by, the embryo absorbs the host's genetic material and flesh, gradually grows, eventually bursts out of the chest, and rapidly grows to build a nest, lay more eggs, and raise more monsters.

The colonists discovered the spaceship that had crashed for unknown reasons, and found the "eggs" inside. Subsequently, the colonists were parasitized...

The monster, created based on science fiction horror films and Alien, exhibited characteristics such as resistance to curses, resistance to cold and heat, strong adaptability to the environment, almost invulnerability to extraordinary abilities of low and medium sequence, and immunity to the impact caused by mythical creature forms in the "1" level examination room.

They are extremely aggressive and adept at team combat. After parasitizing extraordinary individuals and absorbing their flesh and blood, although examinees will be thrown out of the examination room when their health points drop to the limit, the incubation process of these monsters will not end there.

The "alien" born from the body of an extraordinary being will inherit some of the host's extraordinary abilities and spirituality. If the host is at the demigod level, then the alien that bursts out of the chest of this extraordinary being will also possess a certain degree of divine power.

This is a wondrous creation.

In the "Planet 426: Parasite" exam room, there happens to be a witch who is skilled in curses.

She is the ageless witch of Sequence 3, the White Witch Katarina.

At this moment, Katarina was standing inside a glass window mirror. Her expression was somewhat solemn as she looked at the monsters that were everywhere in the human base, hunting other saints and angels.

Among these monsters, there was one that was incredibly large, terrifying, and insane.

It originated from an angel who was parasitized.

Without a proper solution, even if the infected person cuts open their chest and removes the alien embryo inside, it will reappear in the fully healed chest cavity as the chest heals. They are bound together by some twisted force. Either the alien breaks out of the chest, or they find the right way to deal with the alien embryo and survive.

Unfortunately, before the angel could find a solution, the alien burst out of her chest.

A Sequence 2 angel, a god walking on earth, was "killed" before their eyes by a monster that burst from its chest.

Ignoring the curses and flames of most witches, they are almost immune to illness because they possess a certain degree of divinity. Furthermore, the Gorgon Katarina in her mythical creature form cannot maintain this state for long. Therefore, the probability of petrifying such a large number of monsters in one go by activating the mythical creature form and clearing the game directly is not very high.

Katarina loses as long as even one of her units isn't petrified.

The monsters born from the angel's body are even more unsolvable and terrifying. Enchantment? For these monsters, only a saint-level allure would make them more inclined to use her as a vessel and object for parasitism.

Katarina looked at the skeletal statue beside her and murmured:

"But why didn't the Primordial One look this way?"

She looked out at the dark, lightless sky through the mirror, but her eyes did not see any reflection of the mirror.

She was unable to connect with the mirrors she had marked, nor with any mirror outside of this place through any mystical means.

There is a spirit world here, a world within a mirror, but this level of isolation...

"Where is this place?"

As exams continue to end, the orbs of light representing the "exam rooms" descend, merging with reality and beginning to exert a powerful influence on certain people or events in the real world.

The entire northern continent was thriving.

These next few days are destined to be a sleepless night.

-

Black Vortex Town.

The anomalies at the school were even more terrifying than Klein and his companions had imagined.

"Those things..."

Fors was a fairly experienced Extraordinary, and she had seen quite a few vengeful spirits, ghosts, and monsters, but those ghostly things in the school... Fors thought for a moment, oh no, just thinking about them gave her goosebumps.

There are many normal students in the school, but there are also some who are not so normal.

Their movements were much slower than those of ordinary people, and their backs were bulging, as if something was growing on their backs. Anderson lifted a student's shirt, and the three of them saw that the student's back had grown rings of marks, like whirlpools.

Their backs were deformed; the bones and flesh inside seemed to be pulled by something, trying to grow something out of their backs.

When Fors saw those things, she couldn't help but wonder, "Could they be growing snail shells on their backs?"

With its slow, deliberate movement and the concept of a "whirlpool," it's hard not to think of a snail, a creature found in nature.

The result is obvious: Fors Wall, this great writer, had an exceptional ability to make connections.

In the men's restroom stall, Anderson found two enormous snail-like creatures whose bodies had completely degenerated and whose eyeballs bulged outwards.

Unlike the vortex people with twisted bodies and shattered bones that Klein had seen before, these snail people did indeed have huge, tough snail shells growing on their backs.

Two giant snails were wriggling strangely in the toilet stall, seemingly unaware of Klein and the others' arrival.

If things had only gone this far, Fors would have at most felt a bit curious and horrified, but when she saw the densely packed pink balls appearing below the snail-man, she was completely stunned.

"This, these are..."

Anderson poked the pink balls with the mop.

"Snails are oviparous animals. Although they are hermaphroditic, they cannot reproduce on their own."

He explained casually, implying something, "Besides, only male students should come here."

Fors was absolutely stunned.

"This, this, this, this..."

Klein muttered to himself, "Curiosity, it's really too cumbersome."

He wanted to wash his eyes with tap water, oh, he absolutely had to wash his eyes...

University of Michigan, are you out of your mind to design exam content like this?

At this point, Klein and Fors had recorded the third anomalous location, while Anderson had recorded the fourth.

There seemed to be no problem at the school for the time being, as there didn't appear to be any monsters chasing people there. However, Klein remained quite cautious and, after confirming that their respective tasks were completed, decided to hurry and leave the area.

While waiting for his mental energy to recover, Klein lightly touched his bracelet with twelve strange links and carefully looked through his mission prompts.

"An unwavering love by the sea, a guiding lighthouse, a journey away from home, the raging winds of Lake Sverre, and the secrets hidden beneath the earth..."

If you select two answers from these, you've finished Klein's test.

but……

Klein's attention was fixed on the mission description: "Escape from Blackvortex Town before disaster strikes."

How do you know if you've escaped Black Vortex Town?
“Black Vortex Town is not very large geographically. If you leave here, you will inevitably encounter the unusual location of ‘The Road to Leaving Home’. According to the usual design concept, this kind of road will either be very dangerous or it will be a ghost wall.”

Given the "vortex" characteristics of this exam room, the latter probability is quite high.

This is the first approach: escaping Black Vortex Town spatially.

The second line of thought is that the concept of Black Vortex Town refers to the concept of "vortex". In the field of ritual magic, symbolism is a very important concept. Whether it is the representation of the three candles, the description of the name, or the design of the incantation, it is essentially using "symbolism" to obtain the help of the symbolic essence.

Escaping the area covered by the concept of "vortex" should also be considered escaping Black Vortex Town.

Of these two approaches to clearing the level, the latter covers a much wider area than the "Black Vortex Town" in a spatial sense.
