Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 9 009 Magical Item Making
'In contrast, the undead die every sixty years, and are reborn from their dead bodies, as if they were born again.'

"Sequence Four: Undead, a certain amount of weak mental imprint has been detected in the Beyonder characteristic. Are you sure you want to destroy it?"

"Yes."

The hazy and distorted light and shadow suddenly shattered and disintegrated. In front of Tang, a beating heart gradually emerged, and was then filled with various mystical symbols.

"Purifying the mental imprint of the former High-Sequence Person within the Beyonder characteristics. Remaining time: 3:59:52."

When the craftsman interface was closed, the spiritual light around him suddenly weakened and dissipated, then returned to nothingness and returned to normal.

"Four hours."

Tang muttered softly and decided to wait until he woke up before dealing with the extraordinary characteristics after the mental imprint was shattered.

As powerful demigods, the Beyonder traits left behind by High Sequence beings always contain some spiritual thoughts that were unique to the original Beyonder. This is also one of the reasons why it is easy to lose control when they want to use similar Beyonder traits as the main ingredient of potions to ascend to demigod status.

For such items, the system can spend a certain amount of time to clear the remaining spiritual imprints in the Beyonder characteristics.

My father had already taken care of it beforehand, but the system's 'disinfection' was obviously more thorough and could eliminate all remaining potential risks.

"Let's talk about it after we're better."

Yawning, Tang lay down peacefully on the bed, closing his eyes and falling into darkness.

‘Okay, host. ’

A dreamless night.

The next morning, Tang got up and took a look at the system's processing results.

The Beyonder, having completely cleared away any remaining mental imprints, was quietly resting in the Craftsman Module, fixed in the void. It was still throbbing vigorously, but there was no more garbage inside.

'The mental imprint has been definitely removed.'

Patting his head, Tang stood up, opened the curtains and looked at the rising sun outside. The warm sunlight sprinkled on the earth, adding brilliant edges to the surrounding scenery.

'Host, it is now 6:21 AM, standard time.'

"According to the itinerary, we need to perform the role of 'Puppet Master' today."

'New tasks updated.'

Mission: [Master of Secrets]

"As you've been promoted to 'Master of Secret Puppetry', you've already learned certain rules for acting. Please follow these rules and gradually refine them to improve your potion digestion."

'Task completion: 3%.'

'Task: [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'

main mission:

"Main Quest 4: [Advance to Sequence , Trickster]."

'Main Mission 2: [Recover the Sequence One Beyonder characteristic of the 'Hermit' and 'Perfector' pathways, uniqueness].'

'Mission: [A Small Attempt by the Master of Secret Arts]'

"Now that you have been promoted from 'Faceless Man' to 'Master of Secret Puppetry', one of the most bizarre abilities below that of a demigod, the Master of Secret Puppetry's extraordinary abilities can become a powerful force in your hands." "Please control the spiritual thread of any spiritual being."

'Task completion: 100%, completed.'

'Congratulations host, identification times +5, remaining identification times: 144 times.'

'Craftsman' can be used +1 times, and the remaining number of forging times is 13.'

'Number of knowledge fragments +100, remaining number of knowledge fragments: 10025.'

"PS, does Sequence Four need to become an occultist/alchemist? Yes."

"No... don't you have a 'don't remind me again' function?"

"No, host."

Tang yawned, went into the bathroom, washed up, sat cross-legged on the bed, and turned on the 'craftsman module'.

"Okay, what should it look like?"

He thought carefully for a moment, "Weapons? But the Beyonder characteristics of the Undead don't seem to be suitable for Owen's fighting style."

"Talismans, protective gear, armor, or something else that's easy to carry... Never mind, I'll ask later. Based on the speed at which craftsmen have been producing in the past, a demigod-level Beyonder characteristic would take six to eight days to create."

"As for the constant extraordinary ability."

Tang set his sights on the solution provided by the system.

'Host, the extraordinary abilities available for constant use are as follows:'

Option A: Constant "Undead"'s abilities regarding the spirit world and the underworld.

"Maintaining this Beyonder ability allows the user to freely enter and exit the spirit world, open the gate to the underworld, and quickly release the large number of souls and undead accumulated within the underworld. This speed will be much faster than that of a Sequence Five Gatekeeper. At the same time, the controlled souls and undead will be eroded by the power of the underworld, receiving a significant increase in strength."

Option B: Constant control of the Undead over Death.

'This Beyonder ability is constant. Any living being who sees an item made with this Beyonder characteristic will suffer a mental shock equivalent to seeing the incomplete appearance of an undead mythical creature. Low-sequence beings will die immediately.

The middle sequence will suffer different degrees of 'dead silence' pollution according to their mental resistance. The greatest impact can cause a considerable period of sleep, while the lowest is that the body will be stiff for at least one minute, during which time they will have no thoughts, like a corpse.

Higher sequences will be affected by things like body stagnation, while sequences three and below will be controlled for at least five seconds, while angel-level sequences will be reduced to less than one second.

'Option C: Gain the power of 'undead' and 'immortality'.'

"If this extraordinary ability is maintained, the user will not die easily. The body's resistance to external damage will be greatly improved. Even if the body is damaged, it will slowly recover through the power of the spirit world and the underworld."

'The negative effects of constants are as follows:'

'Option A: Constant negative influence of 'undead' on 'death'.'

"If this negative effect persists, the user will be eroded by a certain degree of 'death'. Their body will gradually die, and their spirit will continue to dissipate. Even if this item is sealed, it will be difficult to recover easily in a short period of time."

'Option B: The negative influence of the constant 'undead' on 'memory'.'

'With this constant negative effect, the user will inevitably forget some things. Of course, these things can be retrieved through certain means, but as the user uses it for a longer time, the amount of forgotten memories will increase.'

'Note that the Artisan Module provides a maximum of three extraordinary abilities, and a minimum of one negative effect.'

'When the number of constant extraordinary abilities is three, the maximum strength of each extraordinary ability is 70%; when the number of constant extraordinary abilities is two, the maximum strength of each extraordinary ability is 80%; when the number of constant extraordinary abilities is one, the maximum strength of each extraordinary ability is 100%.'

'When the number of constant negative effects is two, the maximum strength of each negative effect is 67%. When the number of constant negative effects is one, the maximum strength of each negative effect is 100%.'
