Chapter 182 Race Against Time
Mermaid?
Klein was overjoyed, and there was a long-lost excitement.
After leaving Backlund for almost four months, after going through a lot of things, he finally arrived at the destination of this "travel", meeting the last condition needed to be promoted to Sequence 5 "Puppet Master"!
The anxiety and agitation in his heart caused by waiting have been growing since he entered this sea area. All the seemingly absurd things that happened on the "Future", but when he thought about it, they were extremely frightening and the inside of the ruins of the battle of the gods. The dangers and unknowns contained in the three states of night, noon, and dream respectively made him tense all the time, spending every hour and every minute with torment.
Now, these emotions and pressures finally have a chance to vent and release!
Phew... Klein exhaled slowly, returned directly to the cabin, and entered his own room.
Without panic or forgetfulness, he took out Azik's copper whistle and Will Auceptin paper crane according to the predetermined procedure, and used them to interfere with the possible "Queen of Mysteries" peeping.
He took out the remaining spirituality of the ancient wraith, the eyeballs of the six-winged gargoyle, the bark of the dragon tree, and the metal bottle containing the golden spring water of Sonia from the suitcase, unfolded it behind the desk, entered the bathroom, and locked the room The door is skillfully arranged to pray for the bestowal ceremony.
After finishing this ceremony, he didn't rush to respond above the gray mist, but arranged an additional ceremony, summoning his own ceremony!
Walking four steps backwards and reciting the incantation in a low voice, Klein came above the gray mist and responded to the summoning ceremony. Through this, he came to the real world in a spirit state and brought the "Tinder" gloves back to that mysterious space.
After completing the preliminary work, Klein did not relax. He came to the Fool's place, took out a pen and paper, and quickly wrote a divination statement:
"The one singing ahead is the mermaid."
After taking off the citrine pendant, he confirmed the situation by means of divination:
The singing in front of the "Future" is the mermaid!
After calming down, Klein beckoned to make the iron cigarette case fly out of the pile of debris and land on the mottled old bronze long table.
With a snap, he opened the lid, and saw the pupilless "All Black Eye" still lying quietly inside. The extreme madness and danger were vaguely felt, but it was like a deep sleep.
Stared quietly for two seconds,
Klein picked up the "Tinder" glove, and slowly put it on his right palm.
After finishing all this, Klein stretched out his right palm and spread his five fingers without any further hesitation.
All kinds of light clusters suddenly appeared on the picture he saw in front of him, gray and white, copper green, deep red and black formed the main tone of this mysterious space.
And in the "Eye of All Black", the steaming, fang-like iron-black light is entwining all the remaining colors.
Without relying on his own spiritual intuition, only relying on his own understanding of things, Klein can also clearly realize that it is this iron-black light that represents the spiritual pollution of the "True Creator"!
On high alert, he folded his five fingers together, grabbed the target, and then twisted his wrist.
The iron-black light was pulled away and merged into the "Tinder" glove, and an illusory, evil, terrifying, deja vu, and indescribable roar sounded in Klein's ears.
This destroyed his thoughts, obliterated his spirit, and brought the pain that his head was about to burst, but was soon suppressed by the power of the gray mist.
Klein didn't have the ability to think too much. Following the predetermined plan and the movements he had practiced many times, he grabbed the "Tinder" glove with his left palm, took it off, and threw it on the stone floor tiles of the magnificent palace.
The roar disappeared, and Klein numbly grabbed the "All-Black Eye" that was no longer a problem, and quickly responded to the ritual of praying for it, passing the extraordinary characteristics left by the "Master of Puppet" through the illusory gate The altar located in the washroom.
He didn't dare to delay, just glanced at the "Tinder" glove that had been dyed iron black, with twisted fingers, torn palm, full of evil feeling, wrapped himself with spirituality, simulating the feeling of falling rapidly, and returned to the real world.
If "Squirming Hunger" is allowed to witness the encounter and result of the "Tinder" glove, I don't know how it will feel... Klein opened his eyes, grabbed the "Eye of All Black" in the altar, and went straight to the outside room At the same time, such a thought flashed through my mind.
Stopping in front of the desk, Klein took out the steel milk pot that originally belonged to the kitchen of the "Future" from the side, and poured 80 milliliters of the spring water from Sunya's golden spring into it.
The pale golden liquid slowly rippling, clear and transparent, people subconsciously feel their mouths dry, wanting to drink a cup to quench their thirst.
The bark of the dragon tree, the eyeballs of the six-winged gargoyle, and the remaining spirituality of the ancient wraith were all put into the pot by Klein, which aroused different reactions. In the end, the color of the potion base turned into dark gold. But it looks light and weightless.
At this crucial point, Klein became extremely calm instead, calmly picked up the pupilless black eye, and sank it into the base.
He can already confirm that the spiritual pollution of the "True Creator" cannot penetrate the gray fog and return to the "Eye of All Black"!
And it was predictable.
The "All Black Eye" was instantly submerged in the dark golden liquid, and one bubble after another popped up on the surface of the water.
Every time a bubble bursts, the potion will become black for a minute, and after ten seconds or so, all changes will be terminated.
Inside the milk pot, the potion took shape and was completely black. There seemed to be countless small bugs that were not clearly visible to the naked eye swimming around at high speed.
Klein took out the gold coin and quickly made a confirmation using divination.
After receiving the revelation of success, he breathed a sigh of relief, poured the "Master of Secret Puppet" potion into the metal bottle prepared in advance, and stuffed it into his pocket.
He was not in a hurry or messed up, and according to the scheduled procedure, he quickly disposed of the altar in the bathroom, and got back Azik's copper whistle and Will Auceptin's paper crane.
It wasn't until this time that he left the cabin at a slightly faster pace and came to the deck.
At this time, the symbols, magic signs and strange patterns on the "Future" have been clearly lit up, forming a bright ocean of stars, which weakened the mermaid's singing to the greatest extent.
——It is rumored that the singing of mermaids will make humans lose their minds and become crazy, so they jump off their ships and become food for mermaids.
Klein raised his head subconsciously and looked at the window corresponding to the captain's cabin.
The "Admiral of the Stars" stood there, dotted with stars all over his body, looking back with complicated eyes.
Is this the memory of what I said in my dream and the attitude I showed? Klein slandered, and said indifferently:
"I want a boat."
"It's ready." Cattleya pointed to the ship's side without any surprise.
When Gehrman Sparrow hired the "Future", he had already mentioned that his purpose was to find a mermaid!
Soon, Klein left the "Future", left the protection of the bright sea of stars, set foot on the boat, and was in the ocean.
The singing came faintly, as if it had penetrated directly into his spiritual body, making him numb all over, and he couldn't help wanting to hear more.
For Klein, this was far from enough, and his spiritual intuition told him that he had to get closer to make the singing clearer, so as to meet the needs of the ceremony.
"storm!"
Klein took out a spell made of white tin, and summoned a gust of wind that could be controlled to propel the boat forward.
After an unknown amount of time, the mermaid's singing voice suddenly became louder, as if she was singing softly in Klein's ear. Every note could touch the spirit body, and every melody made people intoxicated and longing.
Klein was in a daze, almost jumped into the sea, and swam to the source of the beautiful singing.
He tried his best to control himself, and found that there were many reefs not far ahead, and figures were sitting on the edge, singing softly.
These creatures have human heads, pure brows and eyes showing a bit of beauty, their chests are bulging high, but covered by dark red scales, their lower bodies are huge fish tails, slapping the reef rhythmically.
Different mermaids have different looks and different tail scale colors, which have a strange sense of beauty for humans.
Klein let go of the control of the boat, raised his right hand, and was about to reach into his pocket to take out the potion.
At this moment, the mermaids sensed his approach and looked over one after another.
Then, one by one, these creatures, also known as sirens, stopped singing in panic and jumped into the water one by one.
Don't go... Klein weakly grasped twice with his right hand.
Isn't it said that it is easy to use singing to attract humans as food? Why did you run away when humans came? I'm not a bad person, I'm just here to listen to a song... At this moment, Klein's heart was filled with the emotion of fucking me.
He soon discovered that the singing of the mermaids had not completely stopped. There were a few mermaids far away from the reef with their backs to this side. They did not notice their companions fleeing against the background of the wind and waves, and they still sang boldly.
Klein lifted his spirits, thought for a while, and took out another talisman.
This is the spell of the "Sea God" domain that makes underwater creatures feel closer to the user!
"storm!"
In the sound of the incantation, the blue flame wrapped the white tin sheet, making it disappear into the real world out of thin air.
Seeing that the remaining "mermaids" were aware of him but no longer ran away timidly, Klein immediately took out the metal bottle containing the "Master Puppet" potion and unscrewed the lid.
Hurry up to avoid accidents!
Gulu, the slightly bitter potion poured into Klein's mouth with a stale feeling, along his esophagus, and went straight to his stomach.
Suddenly, Klein found himself becoming extremely stiff, as if he had returned to Tingen, back to the state when he was manipulated by the strange puppet of the sealed item "2-049".
He tried to move his joints, but it seemed to be filled with lead water.
At the same time, he felt tiny worms penetrate into every cell of his body, into the spirit body.
His thoughts began to slow down, and the ability to reflect his own state in his mind gradually failed.
The melodious singing of the mermaid aroused that desire, accumulated fanaticism and obsession, and allowed Klein to maintain his last emotions, and used this lure to get rid of his rigid and sluggish state little by little.
An indifferent gray mist quickly appeared in front of his eyes, and the illusory "Honakis...Fregra... Compared with "home", "clown", and "magician", this raving has obviously become intermittent, as if it is being disturbed and eliminated by something.
Unlike when I became a "Faceless Man", the ravings are obviously much stronger, and I can intermittently break through the barrier of the combination of gray fog and reality... My thinking ability has recovered! Klein was overjoyed and tried to raise his arm.
The awkwardness of the joint position is still there, but it has become weaker and weaker!
At the same time, Klein "saw" himself as he is now:
The complexion is yellow and brown, like a doll wrapped in old bandages and buried alive for many years;
The granulation buds are hidden under the skin, wriggling, separating and merging.
Klein immediately outlined countless light spheres in his mind, and used "meditation" to calm down this state.
During this process, the mermaid's singing still echoed in his ears, causing his joints and muscles to twitch and slowly recede from stiffness.
After an unknown amount of time, Klein opened his eyes, and his body was completely normal.
He took a breath and sighed silently:
"finally……
"Finally Sequence 5!
"Finally the 'Secret Puppet Master'!"
