Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 325, Section 324: "Grafting"

Nicola quite gentlemanly removed his black silk hat from his head, his gaze deep and imbued with an indescribable sense of supreme quality as he looked at Arista Tudor.

When his figure fully appeared behind Blood Emperor Arista Tudor, Arista Tudor also turned his head.

In the world of mirrors, Arista Tudor's information gathering ability and reaction speed are faster than expected.

Nicola smiled slightly at Aristotle Tudor, then raised the top hat in his hand.

"Nice to meet you, Your Majesty the Blood Emperor."

“I am the new ‘blasphemer,’ I’m sorry for the offense.”

The hat in his hand disappeared, and an even larger black silk top hat completely enveloped Aristotle's body.

A huge black silk hat stood in the palace. Nicholas snapped his fingers, and the hat that had swallowed the Blood Emperor began to shrink rapidly, about to return to its original size.

Even though it's an image from a gap in history, Nikolai possesses the power of a Sequence 1 Time Worm.

While uniqueness cannot yet be addressed, He can still construct a miniature divine kingdom full of "errors" and "loopholes" by utilizing the core authority of the thief's path, and place Arista Tudor within the mirror as an "error."

“Hmm, this isn’t Chik’s memory… well, to be more precise, it’s not just Chik’s memory.”

With only one eye remaining, Tang's body is being pieced together again, like a jigsaw puzzle, as the projection of the "Supreme One" continuously injects this fragment, restoring him to completeness.

"The Primordial Witch is a deity who controls the Mirror World. It's quite normal that some of her memories involving core secrets are connected to the special Mirror World..."

Tang paused at this point.

Just as Nikolai reached for the shrunken black silk hat and put it on his head, the hat suddenly expanded and burst open in front of Nikolai and Don.

"As expected, it's not that easy to deal with."

Nikolai retreated quickly, and Don snapped his fingers.

The top hat fell apart and disappeared back into the mists of history. Nikolai pulled another top hat out of the mists of history and then politely stepped back.

Aristotle, peering through the mirror from under his hat, glanced at Nikolai, who had taken a few steps back but was still smiling. His gaze paused briefly before quickly returning to Tang's direction.

Compared to Nicholas, a historical figure seen through a gap in history, Aristotle in the mirror, with his almost beast-like intuition, believed that Don, whose neck He had twisted, still existed and whose state was unknown, was clearly more dangerous.

"A very correct choice."

With a smile, Tang stirred up the historical fog, and as he snapped his fingers, a "hermit" filled with mad knowledge appeared beside Arista Tudor in the mirror.

Pull one out from the outside, pull one out from the inside, oh dear, that's standard procedure.

Then, Tang snapped his fingers again and again.

If we recruit a few more, I believe the Blood Emperor wouldn't mind, right?
One after another, "hermits" emerged from the mists of history, surrounding Alistair Tudor in the mirror.

Nikolai twirled his black silk hat, and a Time Worm split off from it. Working in tandem with Tang, it caused Arista Tudor in the mirror to freeze in place briefly due to the parasitism.

One by one, these "recluses" were pulled out of the fog of history, their figures rapidly expanding, and their frenzied knowledge spreading outwards.

Then, they exploded.

This is a historical glimpse into the lives of the "Hermits" before their suicide attacks, which Tang directly pulled out and used as a bomb filled with insane knowledge.

"First, there was the first round, a frenzied brainwashing of knowledge."

Time is running out. I don't know if I can hang Arista Tudor in the mirror as a puppet before the Primordial Witch reacts and before the Euclidean Space and the tributary of the River of Eternal Darkness complete their fusion.

After all, for "Mistake", the fact that Arista Tudor in the mirror is his puppet means that the Blood Emperor who is calm in the River of Eternal Darkness is his puppet, which also means that the thing in the deepest part of the mirror is his puppet.

The explosion of mad knowledge did not hinder Arista Tudor's actions much in the mirror; to be precise, mad knowledge could not hinder His own will.

For deities already teetering on the edge of madness, the pollution brought about by mad knowledge is merely a trigger that further exacerbates their decline towards an even worse extreme.

This Blood Emperor broke free from the realm of mad knowledge, shooting towards Tang like a hurled spear.

This speed seemed to transcend the limitations of distance, carrying an aura of "destruction" and madness, rapidly approaching Tang's direction.

Tang snapped his fingers slowly and deliberately.

"If it were the real Blood Emperor Arista Tudor in front of me, I would still have to be wary."

His figure swayed almost imperceptibly, and the blood-stained spear that Arista Tudor in the mirror transformed into instantly reached Tang and then passed through his body.

The observer transforms its observable state into an unobservable state.

If you can't see it, can't hear it, and don't understand it, then it doesn't exist. How could you possibly attack such a thing?
"Without extraordinary characteristics to support it, without uniqueness as the mirror image that maintains the position of Sequence 0, it is impossible and incapable of doing many of the things that Sequence 0 can do."

For example, Arista Tudor in the mirror is not as resistant to the authority of the "Supreme One" as the Primal Witch and Salinger.

As the most enigmatic servant currently known, Tang curled the corner of his lips...

While it wasn't so easy to get rid of the Primordial Witch and Salinger, things might be different against this one.

His eyes caught sight of the flames that suddenly rose around him. Outside the palace, so characteristic of Trier, thunderbolts began to strike from a clear sky. In the mirror, Arista Tudor appeared, his eyes turning from azure to iron black, similar to the state of the Underworld Emperor Salinger.

This is the beginning of the use of the authority of the "Red Priest".

Don continued snapping his fingers.

As he snapped his fingers, he pulled a monocle that looked like it was carved from crystal from the mists of history and put it in his right eye socket.

Then, Tang waved to Blood Emperor Arista Tudor.

"bring it on."

As the man in the mirror, Arista Tudor was in a state of extreme emotions and feelings. In addition, the Blood Emperor Arista Tudor was already in a bad state and remained a half-madman until his death.
As someone with extreme emotions who has also experienced a frenzy of knowledge, it's impossible for him to be any better.

So, Aristotle in the mirror took a step forward.

He disdained to talk to Tang Duo, who was hiding and not showing his true form, and simply launched an attack to completely crush this outsider who had invaded this place.

But just as Aristotle in the mirror took his first step, His pupils flickered slightly.

"Does something feel a little strange?" Tang asked with a smile, noticing Arista Tudor's sharp gaze in the mirror.

"Your Majesty, don't you think you originally intended to step out with your left foot?"

Arista Tudor looked at his right leg that had just stepped out, then looked up at Don.

He did not speak, and lightning struck down from the sky, piercing through the palace and hitting Tang.

Tang once again transformed himself into an unobservable state to evade attacks.

Suddenly, flames rose up all around, and a strange gale swept up the flames, forming a huge, terrifying fire tornado that completely engulfed Tang's figure.

But these attacks were all ineffective.

He's not "Obito," and his Hollowfication ability has a time limit.

The unobservable state of an observer is essentially a migration from a lower dimension to a higher dimension that cannot be detected. As long as there is no ability or authority to invade Euclidean space, the observer's "unobservable state," provided that the observer is spiritually sufficient, is equivalent to a strong buff that makes them immune to all damage and misses.

Oh dear, I'm such a mysterious and difficult-to-kill waiter!
Just as Arista Tudor in the mirror was about to continue bombarding this strange fellow with all sorts of extreme weather, He suddenly canceled the fire tornado and the relentless lightning strikes.

what happened?

"Your Majesty, what's going on?"

Tang, who reappeared in the fire tornado, asked with feigned goodwill, "Have you been in the Mirror World for too long that you've lost even the most basic combat skills?"

He sincerely suggested, "Should you go to the hospital to get a checkup? Or, try separating from the Primal Witch for a while?"

Provocation, naked provocation.

If Tang were given the provocateur's potion, he could digest a thousand or eight hundred doses today.

"what have you done?"

Aristotle in the mirror realized something; his condition had been problematic ever since Don snapped his fingers.

Extremes do not mean being mindless.

Tang smiled, a subtle glimmer of light shining in his eyes, which were as black as a vast black ocean: "Why don't you guess for yourself, Your Majesty?"

Tang was already a Sequence 1 Mysterious Servant a thousand years ago. With the authority of the "Supreme One," he was much more skilled at this sequence than Klein.

"Hmm, if it's a hint, I can give you one."

“I have studied the special relationship between the body, mind, and spirit of an extraordinary person.”

Here, "body" refers to the body that has undergone a transformation after taking the potion and undergoing a physical mutation, becoming that of an extraordinary being.

"Heart" refers to the spirit beyond that, and in the audience's perspective, it can be a specially crafted island of consciousness, a spiritual imprint hidden within extraordinary characteristics.

'Spirit' refers directly to a person's spiritual body.

The occult knowledge system in this regard differs from the five levels of personality that popular occultism holds, namely the "spiritual body," "mental body," "astral body," "etheric body," and "physical body." The "body, mind, and spirit" theory is actually a compression and extension of the five levels of personality.

As a mysterious servant who has lived for over a thousand years, as the de facto ruler of Miskatonic University, and a true big shot in the world of occultism, Tang has also participated in a lot of research related to occultism.

These studies are now presented in the form of academic papers and are recorded in the Miskatonic Library, including many of the experiences and extensions related to the Mysterious Servant series.

This includes a mysterious servant who uses his extraordinary ability of "grafting" to accomplish all sorts of interesting things.

For example...

"In my research, the spirit is the dominant force. Extraordinary beings control their physical bodies, which contain extraordinary characteristics, through spirits modified by extraordinary characteristics. Therefore, if an external force intervenes during the manipulation process, it will cause manipulation errors and failure."

General medicine believes that living organisms can manipulate their bodies because of the existence of a nervous system.

In the mysticism, this is taken a step further and is that there exists a "spirit" that is completely integrated with the "flesh" and can manipulate the body. Whether the brain or the spirit is damaged, the person's "flesh" will be unable to be effectively controlled.

He altered Aristotle's manipulation of his own body, re-grafting the "spirit" into the "flesh."

For example, the manipulation of blinking is grafted onto kicking, and the manipulation of walking is grafted onto kneeling and kowtowing, etc...

It's a rather wicked but effective extension of the ability to control the situation. However, it's quite troublesome, as ordinary Mysterious Servants can't perform precise control. Only Mysterious Servants equipped with "Observer" can manipulate it freely.

Therefore, Aristotle, the Blood Emperor's mirror image, must continue fighting against Don and Nicholas while constantly adapting to his grafted, haphazard body.

Tang found it somewhat amusing; what if the Blood Emperor, after just one charge, suddenly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly…

Of course, Arista Tudor quickly realized what was happening and devised a corresponding strategy.

"conquer".

The first sequence of the Red Priest pathway, the Conqueror, allows one to make others His puppets or to make oneself His own puppet.

"But it was too late."

Don smiled.

"That's why I said, if it were the real Arista Tudor, I certainly wouldn't have done it."

The "Supreme One" can enter much faster than the "Red Priest" who doesn't have any extraordinary characteristics. You can complete the calibration one second and he can disrupt it again the next second, grafting it randomly once more.

The grafting method in the previous second is different from the grafting method in the next second, and the grafting method of the previous action is different from the grafting method of the next action. "Conquest" will also be disrupted in the manipulation and use of other extraordinary abilities. Try them one by one? There is no time for that.

Tell me, how do you fight?
Of course, there is actually another way.

Tang's eyes sparkled with tiny points of light.

"Unleash the greatest terror hidden within the mirror..."

With the combined efforts of the Hermit and the Euclid Space, the Primal Witch and Salinger were unable to spare any attention to support Arista Tudor. Under such clearly disadvantageous circumstances, would this extreme version of Arista Tudor in the mirror do so?
The risks involved are far greater than those involved in keeping Arista Tudor, the figure in the mirror, as a puppet.

Before Arista Tudor's body had fully adapted to this disrupted state, Tang began manipulating the other's spiritual threads.

He wants to solidify this "past".
