Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 308 Whereabouts of 307
The blazing white flames instantly engulfed the entire house, but quickly the flames that had set fire to the beams, the corpses, and the clothes vanished with a snap of the fingers.

A flaming spear stopped in front of Tang, and this "harvest" still did not cause him any harm.

"But for a Reaper who hasn't even stepped into the realm of demigods and mortals, the two Mystics that 'killed' me should be able to absorb a significant amount of Reaper Potions."

Tang remained in the same position, casually resting his chin on one hand.

As he manipulated his fingers, the surrounding puppets stood up one by one. Two puppets on the ground, whose heads had been blown open and who should have been dead beyond any doubt, also slowly rose to their feet.

The flow from their ruptured heads had stopped, but the blood and brain matter smeared on their faces did not disappear with the power of a miracle.

This makes them appear ferocious and terrifying, perfectly embodying the image of someone who can stop a child from crying simply by looking at them in any horror movie.

Not to mention the glaringly obvious smile on the Puppet's face.

"What once existed still exists in the eyes of the Mysterious Servant. The Mysterious Servant can summon the spiritual threads of inanimate objects that were once possessed. This is the highest level of application of the Mysterious Puppet Master's spiritual threads at the Sequence 1 level."

Instead of using his puppet to give chase, Tang let the Reaper escape from his grasp.

A coffee cup appeared beside me. I gently swirled the coffee in the cup with a spoon, and with another snap of my fingers, the room, which looked too plain and couldn't get enough sunlight even during the day, was instantly transformed.

The miracle worker fulfilled his wish, making the place completely different from what it used to be.

After doing all this, a few glittering rays of light appeared deep within his dark, unwavering pupils, as if he had seen a certain scene. All the puppets in the room showed the same smile.

Standing on the brand-new tiled floor, Tang stood up, then walked out of the house, casually gazing at the sun in the sky.

"The sun is shining brightly today."

"Given Triss Chick's unique circumstances, she is clearly quite aware of the existence of the Pen of Alshurst, and harbors a strong hostility and vigilance towards predetermined coincidences in her life... For this test subject, the Pen of Alshurst's arrangements will serve as an aid to 'destiny,' providing some assistance to Don Eggers..."

"Because of the arrival of the Don Egger Puppet, the situation in Backlund has changed once again... Triss Chick, who possesses the power bestowed by a great being, unsurprisingly sensed the existence of the Don Egger Puppet, which is quite reasonable. This also leads Triss Chick to inevitably begin to suspect whether there are any changes in Backlund at this point in time that do not conform to her memories..."

"Therefore, Triss Chick is prepared to make close contact with a Resistance Extraordinary who, for some reason, can also sense the existence of the Mystic Puppet..."

"Based on her memories from before her 'rebirth,' Triss Chick already knows that her enemy is George III, the current king of the Kingdom of Rune."

"This is clearly not something a Sequence 4 Despair Witch can handle. She obviously cannot replicate the pre-rebirth plan that led to George III's death and the failure of the plot in a short time. Without multiple coincidences and without Klein Moretti's help, assassinating George III would be tantamount to suicide..."

"Following this line of reasoning, Triss Chick will do everything in her power to improve her sequence as quickly as possible before the Great Fog of Backlund arrives, and fighting alone will definitely not be a good choice..."

"Don Eggers, who condoned the existence of the rebels, has already laid out a direct path for Triss Chick to become the Witch of Disaster. The Pen of Alshogaud believes that Edsac Augustus will be given considerable attention in this matter, and the following part of the story will unfold from Edsac Augustus's perspective, which is quite a reasonable development..."

"Based on the Law of Extraordinary Characteristics Convergence, the Sequence 5 Reaper who escaped from Don Eggers' clone, Sirius Burrough of the Resistance, happened to encounter the Red Angel Evil Spirit who was attempting to break through Todor's seal. After all, the Red Angel Evil Spirit was once the Angel King belonging to the Red Priest pathway, which is also a very reasonable and expected development..."

"Sorren Einhorn Medici has been corrupted by 'Destiny,' and the Red Angel evil spirit desires at least one of the Conqueror's extraordinary traits. Don Eggers has granted the evil spirit's request, and for this purpose, Don Eggers has prepared the corresponding vessel..."

"The story continues from there. Don Eggers believed that the coincidences arranged by Alsaurd's Pen should be as subtle as possible. Regarding this requirement... (this part is crossed out) Alsaurd's Pen thought Don Eggers' suggestion was quite reasonable, and that Alsaurd's Pen would make the subsequent story arrangement more in line with the trend of the times..."

"Don Eggers has decreed that Triss Chick, as a witch, will reach a certain cooperation agreement with the Red Angel Evil Spirit before the arrival of the Great Fog of Backlund. This is the effect of the Extraordinary Characteristic Convergence Law, which is in accordance with the 'destiny' set by Don Eggers..."

"In Tingen City, with the successful conclusion of the professional ritual magic level test, various forces have achieved their desired results. Don Eggers will digest all the potions of the Mysterious Servant and, with the help of a special being, enter the Raging Sea to confront the arrangements left behind by the Grim Reaper Salinger..."

"The story of Tingen, centered around Klein Moretti, is coming to an end. When Klein Moretti faces the utter death of everyone he cares about and everyone who cares about him due to the disaster caused by the true creator, when some die because of the indoctrination of the 'Hidden Sage' and others commit suicide due to the influence of the 'Primal Witch', what will happen to this 'Destined One'?"

"Based on some special reasons, Alshogod's Pen believes that the probability of Klein Moretti going mad is not low. When he later realizes that Don Eggers is the mastermind behind all this, it will be an unavoidable result that he takes some extreme actions."

"It is obvious that Klein Moretti's vision does not align with the 'future' envisioned by the Pen of Alsaurd, and requires a rewriting by the Pen of Alsaurd... (crossed out) It has been confirmed that Don Eggers will take action to reverse this outcome, which is in line with the expected development and the ideas of the Pen of Alsaurd..."

"The story of Backlund is about to begin. All the actors are in place, and everyone is waiting for yet another destruction of Tingen City..."

"The sun will always set, the moon will always rise. The complete destruction of Tingen City and the revelation of the truth are a predetermined fate, an inevitable destiny..."

The rustling sound of writing stopped there. Holding an ordinary quill pen, Ince Zangwell, who was blind in one eye, looked at the sun outside the window and a kind smile appeared on his lips.

"The story of Tingen is about to come to an end."

"All of this is both predetermined and destiny."

Euclidean Space, Black Vortex Town.

Anderson cautiously crept into the outer tunnels of the underground area. Using the arsonist's extraordinary abilities, a quietly burning fireball, providing light and heat, floated beside him, illuminating the clearly man-made tunnel area, even though he carried no torches. Anderson appeared somewhat disheveled; from the fall, torrential rain had poured down, and his face and body were covered in small cuts. While these wounds had healed and the rainwater had evaporated with the flames, the remaining mud and damage couldn't be erased by the fire.

Not only that, Anderson's originally short blond hair had now grown to be as tall as himself. This was after he had deliberately burned it with fire. Otherwise, this wildly growing hair, which was completely out of proportion to the average hair growth rate, would have already stretched out as a long "blanket" behind him.

Ah, could this be the "Rapunzel" that Emperor Roselle once wrote about? Hmm, it should be called "Rapunzel Prince".

He's just an ordinary handsome guy.

With a touch of bittersweet humor, Anderson once again used the flames to burn the twisting, spiraling ends of his hair that were about to turn into a "vortex," trying to calm his hair down.

Anderson, a harvester who had roamed the Misty Sea for so many years, could only shake his head helplessly at this.

"call……"

Anderson took a deep breath, trying to suppress his breathing and heartbeat as much as possible, so as not to overexert his already limited physical strength due to his emotional tension.

"This place is really awful."

As Anderson approached the core area of ​​the examination room, he had to be extra cautious.

Then, thinking back to the mission the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom had given him before he came to Tingen to take this unknown exam, Anderson couldn't help but mutter "troublesome" under his breath.

Those guys went a bit too far, no, they went way too far.

Putting aside the issue of inexplicably calling him back under the guise of "checking his study progress" and dumping him in a place full of criminals, and then, without any explanation, shoving him—who had barely managed to crawl out of that hellhole and hadn't even caught his breath—into a steam train and transporting him all the way to Rune to take this ridiculous exam...

Anderson felt utterly unlucky.

Why does he always get to do so many bad things?!

Moreover, after arriving in this strange town, one unfortunate thing after another came knocking on our door.

The town of Black Vortex has many interconnected underground passages. To be honest, it's almost impossible not to get lost without someone to guide you. However, after entering the underground passages, Anderson quickly discovered that his hair, which was affected by the "vortex," could pinpoint the area of ​​the largest "vortex" in such a place.

Of course, this hair could be either a guide or a killer who strangles him on the spot.

Holding the camera, a mission tool that hadn't been let go even during the typhoon, Anderson followed the direction of his hair and continued along the intricate underground tunnels, illuminated by burning red and white fireballs.

As he walked, Anderson was also dealing with his hair, which was growing longer and longer as he moved closer to the center of his body, and seemed ready to wrap around his neck three times at any moment.

one day ago.

Anderson, Klein, and Fors were forced to leave their temporary house by the "Rain Lady" monster and step into the area outside. Almost simultaneously, the three of them were blown away by the gale and ran wildly towards the endless dome above their heads.

The wind was incredibly strong and fast. As they were being swept up by the wind, they had to be extra careful of other things that were also being swept up, such as roofs that weren't very secure and trees that had been uprooted. Therefore, they had no chance to escape the typhoon's pull and land safely.

The sound coming from something unknown within the typhoon, calling their names, clearly carried a powerful effect of mental pollution.

The more names were read out during the typhoon, the lower their morale became.

A drop in mental strength can cause confusion and increase the risk of losing control and going berserk. If a candidate's mental strength drops below 20, they will be immediately removed from the examination room and fail the exam.

In this situation, even if Anderson transformed himself into a flaming spear, he would most likely be sucked back in by the typhoon's powerful suction.

Just when they thought they were about to fall to their deaths, Klein gave them several pieces of paper with strange symbols drawn on them.

"A ritual pointing to the Lord of Storms?"

Fors had carefully studied the books, journals, and papers on ritual magic published by Miskatonic and knew that for ritualists who were not good at skirmishes, emergency ritual magic, which was reduced in effectiveness and omitted candles and most of the incantations, was a kind of disposable item that ritualists always kept with them.

This was clearly an emergency ritual magic that Klein had created at some point. It didn't require an altar or a spiritual wall, and although the effect would be much weaker, it was convenient and quick.

"Reduce wind force, reduce damage, descend..."

"After lighting it, pray directly to the Lord of Storms; that should work."

Klein's voice was too soft; even if he shouted, it would be difficult for others to hear him. However, the extraordinary individuals who participated in this exam had a fairly solid foundation in occult knowledge. After obtaining the emergency ritual magic that clearly depicted the holy light of the storm, they immediately found a way to ignite the paper with the symbols in the midst of the storm.

The wind around the three of them suddenly stopped.

They fell straight down, separate from each other.
