Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 4 004 Baron
The iron chain with rubies at the end wrapped around the opponent's strong body. The red-bodied demon was about to utter a second obscene word to attack Tang who had dodged to the other side at some point, but found that his obscene voice was blocked in his throat.

He was like a dud cannonball, and the chains seemed to have a life of their own, constantly binding him and cutting into his flesh.

"Mystery diminishes, reality intensifies."

A magical item, a shackle of sin, it is constant and has only one extraordinary ability, which is to weaken the sense of mystery of the bound target. All corresponding extraordinary abilities, including the body mutated by the power of the devil, will also weaken.

This corresponds to Sequence Six of the Judge's Path, the Judge's extraordinary ability.

Tang continued to manipulate the spirit thread.

Under the influence of this extraordinary item, the devil needs to resist the control of the spirit thread on him while struggling to break free from the extraordinary item wrapped around his body.

"No, no, if this continues..."

Tang simulated the sound of an air bullet.

"boom--"

The bullet hit the demon's head, and his body, bound by chains, trembled.

The opponent's eyes turned into goat-like horizontal pupils because of fear. He roared loudly, trying to rely on his physical strength to break free from the chains, but all these actions, from the beginning he realized his own situation, came up with a corresponding plan, and implemented it, this process was manipulated by the spiritual thread and was constantly delayed. As a result, the possibility of his escape was greatly reduced.

Tang did not continue to rub the air bullet with his hands, as the intense pain would weaken the control of the spiritual thread. He looked at the struggling demon calmly, and continued to strengthen the spiritual supply of the chain in his hand.

With the extraordinary items of the Judge's Path, coupled with his own control over the spiritual thread, there is no doubt that Sequence Five will face Sequence Six.

Slowly, after five minutes, Tang raised his eyebrows and stopped supplying spiritual energy to the iron chain in his hand.

The demon, which had returned to its original appearance, stood there, motionless.

'Task progress update.'

Mission 1: A Puppet Master's Trial

"Now that you have been promoted from 'Faceless Man' to 'Master of Secret Puppetry', as one of the most bizarre abilities below that of a demigod, the extraordinary ability of the Master of Secret Puppetry can become a powerful force in your hands."

"Please control the spiritual thread of any spiritual being."

'Task completion: 100%, rewards have been issued, please check.'

'Task 2: One, two, three, wooden man.'

"How can a puppet master not have his own puppet? Please hurry up and find a spiritual person who can be made into a puppet. Remember, the quality of the puppet is equally important."

'Make your own secret doll.'

'Task completion: 1/3'

"Secret Marionette: Tank Belia."

'Potion sequence: 'Abyss', sequence six, demon.'

'Would you like to show the corresponding potion recipe?'

Tang raised his eyebrows again, but did not say anything, nor did he ask the system to show him the Sequence Six potion formula.

"Beria? The devil of the Blood Cult?"

The Blood Cult is a loose alliance formed by the worship of demons, founded in the Fourth Age.

They control the path of 'criminals', or the 'abyss', and worship the evil god 'Dark Side of the Universe', believing that he is the master of the abyss and the destroyer who will inevitably erode and corrupt the entire real world and the entire vast universe.

The demons of this secretive organization are also obsessed with spreading demonic beliefs, causing numerous bloody incidents. "However, judging by the rituals of this path, they commit bloody incidents not only to spread demonic beliefs, but also to facilitate their own advancement."

After controlling the demon that was wreaking havoc in his territory, Tang thought for a moment and decided to take the newly created demon home to have a look.

Just as he put away the chain in his hand and prepared to go back, he heard movement in the forest not far away.

Tang looked sideways and saw a middle-aged man with bronze skin, black hair, brown eyes, wearing close-fitting leather armor, and soft features riding a horse towards him.

He didn't know how long he stayed there.

"Father."

-

In the newly built castle made of dark blue stone bricks, Baron Ramde sat in his study with a gentle expression, but between his brows there was an unconcealable solemnity left over from his time serving the Kingdom of Loen.

Baron Ramde was a legendary figure who once ruled the Balam Empire in the southern continent. However, due to some special reasons, he kept falling into a vicious cycle of losing his memory, recovering his memory, losing his memory again, and recovering his memory again.

And now, this Baron Ramde, who was once a high-ranking extraordinary person, placed the brewed tea in front of his children.

"Thank you."

Tang took the teacup and took a sip of the water in it.

Although he had experienced the suffocating diet of this world, and as a baron, he had a lot of wealth, but the bitterness of tea still made him miss the old world.

"It seems that this voyage has brought you a lot of help." Baron Ramde smiled and said.

"Yes, I saw a lot of creatures that I had never seen before." Tang smiled.

Mermaids are not uncommon in the Misty Sea and the Sonia Sea today, and are not kept in captivity on a large scale by the Church of the Evernight Goddess. The promotion ceremony to the Master of the Secret Puppet is not too difficult.

"That's good." Baron Ramde also smiled. "The situation in the Kingdom of Loen is not very peaceful right now. The king and the nobles are trying to obtain more slaves, land, and wealth from other countries. It's a good thing to have the ability to protect ourselves, Tang."

Does it look like war is about to break out again? Loen, the country founded by Augustus, has not been peaceful in recent years. It has had friction with its neighbors, Feysac, and Intis.

In general, it's nothing more than food, money, land and labor.

However, this should be controllable. After all, the Church of the Seven Gods will definitely prevent large-scale population genocide.

Tang sighed, "But that should be a headache for the nobles. Even if the king wants to recruit soldiers, such a thing shouldn't affect us..."

In this rural area, even the king's orders may not be of much use. After all, a general is not subject to the king's orders when he is away from home.

"I'm leaving here soon," Baron Ramde said, "and planning to go to the Southern Continent."

"what?"

Tang felt a little depressed.

He knew that his father was in the stage of memory awakening, and the other party had never concealed anything. He seemed to feel guilty towards them, but he still had to do it.

Tang understood that it was probably his own responsibility and a kind of 'curse' that he suffered as... a descendant of the God of Death.

The process of constantly searching for memories and constantly losing them.

"I understand," Don said. "Father, what do you want me to do?"
