Chapter Seventy-Five: Self-Help

Oops! Puppet Domination!

Captain, they're either in a coma...... Either they haven't recovered yet, and they can't even get up...... It's too late...... Wake me up......

No way...... Have to...... Save oneself!

What Klein saw before his eyes became the slow motion of his previous life, and the joints of his body and the brain used for thinking seemed to be filled with more and more glue.

He has no interest in becoming a live-action puppet, seizing the opportunity that has not yet been completely controlled, and trying to find a way to save himself.

Beat yourself...... Sure...... No way...... Have to...... External force......

External force...... Get your feet wet...... There was no time to delay, no time to think about it, Klein grabbed an inspiration in two or three seconds, drove the "rusty" knee joint, and took a counterclockwise step.

At the same time, he did not try to break free from the invisible rope that "pierced" his throat, but only silently said in his heart:

"Fusheng...... Xuanhuang ...... Immortal Venerable ......"

He wants to use the mysterious world above the gray mist to awaken himself and get rid of the assimilation of the seal "2-049"!

Quack, Crane's knees and ankles made a harsh sound at the same time, and in a slow and twisted gesture, he took another step counterclockwise:

"Fusheng...... Xuanhuang ...... Heavenly Monarch ......"

His thoughts became more and more sluggish, and Klein, like a computer with all the family buckets and all the security guards, lifted his left foot one by one, and walked towards the established position:

"Fusheng...... Black...... Yellow...... Above...... Emperor ......"

The thoughts in Klein's mind became more and more rigid and sluggish, and he took the last step with only instinctive awareness.

At this stage, he knew that he was almost completely controlled, and even if Al Hasson got up in time and ran to the rescue, he probably wouldn't be able to wake up.

But the strong desire to survive made him silently recite the last incantation:

"Blessing...... Bear...... Black...... Yellow............ Sky............... Honorable .................."

As soon as the silent thought fell, the chaotic and crazy screams and murmurs rang out, which immediately dispersed Klein's frozen thoughts, causing it to shatter and turn into one uncontrollable thought after another.

Crane's mind turned into a pot of boiling porridge, and he felt his "body" lighten and his spirit fluttered.

Once again, the infinite gray mist and crimson stars from near and far appeared before his eyes, empty, mysterious, vague, and hazy.

Crane's chaotic thoughts quickly settled, and he finally regained his ability to think, and saw the majestic temple.

"Whew...... Luckily it worked. He whispered fearfully.

Based on his previous observations, he understood that once he fell under the control of the seal "2-049", it was basically equivalent to death, and normally speaking, there was no way to save him without medicine.

Luckily, his "transshipment ritual" and the mysterious world above the gray mist are out of the normal realm!

After pacing back and forth a few steps, Klein began to think about his current situation:

"I can't stay here forever, can I?"

"When the captain and the others wake up, or come closer, there is no way to explain the matter......

"Now 'I' should only be in the flesh, more like the living dead than the living dead......

"But if you risk going back, you can't be safe...... What if it's controlled by '2-049' again?"

......

In the midst of all these thoughts, Klein suddenly patted his forehead and said with a low smile:

"It seems that I haven't really adapted to being a 'soothsayer' yet!"

Before he could finish speaking, his figure appeared on the top of the bronze table, sitting upright on the high-backed chair with strange symbols.

Crane reached out and picked up the pen that appeared out of thin air in front of him.

Brush, brush, brush, he wrote a passage on illusory white paper:

"It's safe to go back to the real world. ”

Immediately afterward, Crane took out the projection of the "Spirit Pendulum" from his pocket - after several meetings, he found that as long as the items he was carrying, they could be projected onto the gray mist, but it would be relatively illusory.

Holding the silver chain in his left hand, Crane made the citrine pendant almost touch the paper, touching the "event".

The swing subsided, he half-closed his eyes, and his mind calmly recited the words on the white paper:

"It's safe to go back to the real world. ”

......

"It's safe to go back to the real world. ”

......

Over and over again, Klein performed divination using the complete "pendulum method" without reducing the links.

When his eyes opened, he saw the pure citrine pendant swaying slowly, driving the silver chain to rotate clockwise.

Clockwise is yes, counterclockwise is negative...... It's safe to return to the real world...... Crane breathed a sigh of relief, habitually put away the silver chain, and then, he unfolded his spirituality, wrapped himself, and simulated a sharp fall.

The hazy gray mist and crimson stars flew rapidly and illusory, rushing upwards, and Crane soon saw himself in place, saw the tan puppet half hanging outside the iron box, and noticed that the seal seemed to have stopped all movement.

The sensation of his body came into his mind, and he was about to move his arm to confirm his state, when suddenly a voice hidden in the wind suddenly came from his ears:

"Do you want to be awakened? If you promise me one thing, you will be delivered. ”

"This is to help me pick up the Antigonus family notebook. ”

"Nod in agreement, I know you can still do this now. ”

Well, "2-049" doesn't seem to be trying to control me anymore...... Also, it doesn't affect the same person consecutively, there will be gaps...... Klein was startled, but the surface was unmoved.

At this time, the voice quickly added a few words:

"If you can do this, you will also receive an additional reward, I know that you are a 'soothsayer', and I also know that the Church of the Goddess of the Night does not have a Sequence 8 after that, and our Esoteric Society can give it to you. ”

"Oh, frankly, I used to be a 'soothsayer,' otherwise I wouldn't have dared to return. In order for you to see my sincerity, I will tell you now that the corresponding sequence 8 of 'The Fortune Teller' is, 'Joker'. ”

"Joker"?Esoteric ...... Klein almost failed to remain "puppeted."

He had no idea that the "soothsayer" would be associated with the "clown".

Do you want to form a circus duo?

"Okay, make your decision, trust me, you don't have much time to waste. The voice was once again in the wind, and in the distance Dunn and Lorota were still unconscious, Borgia seemed to be badly injured, moaning and not moving, and Al Hazen and Leonard Mitchell were relatively well, trying to roll over and sit up.

Why are you looking for me? Esoteric Order...... He's the tuxedo clown, right? After he escaped, he quietly returned, trying to pick up a bargain...... But why should you ask me for help? He's totally capable of dealing with everyone here...... Hearing the other party's words, doubts flashed in Klein's mind one after another.

Since the other party said that he was a "soothsayer", Klein began to try to analyze it in the thinking style of a "soothsayer":

"He dared to return, he must have divined 'hope', believing that the monster Bieber would be destroyed, believing that we would suffer heavy losses. ”

"He didn't take the notebook himself, he didn't deal with us directly, he probably found out that this matter contained a great risk, so he suspected that the captain and Lady Lorota were pretending to be unconscious, and suspected that it was a trap set for him. ”

"He doesn't do more divination, he doesn't confirm my current state, firstly, it may be because it is too late, and if he waits, Mr. Al Haszen and they will be able to recover a certain amount of combat strength, secondly, he also despises me and thinks it is not necessary."

"He knows a lot about 'soothsayers' and must believe that I can't get rid of the puppet's control...... He's using me as cannon fodder to test traps......"

"On the other hand, this shows that the outward manifestation of the 'Transit Ritual' is almost ......"

Crane, whose brain was not sluggish, only felt that his thoughts were smooth before and after, and he roughly grasped the thoughts and purposes of the tuxedo clown.

As for the other party's promises, he doesn't believe it at all, "cannon fodder" has no human rights!

The thought flashed quickly, and Crane controlled his neck and nodded jerkily with difficulty.

At the same time, he truly confirmed that he was free from the control of the seal "2-049".

As soon as he finished nodding, a transparent "curtain" suddenly moved two or three meters to the side, outlining a figure wearing a tuxedo and clown oil paint on his face, which was the member of the Esoteric Order who had escaped before.

At this point, Klein's previous attempt to turn around and try to get out of the area of influence of "2-049" was with his back to the iron black box and the puppet, and the tuxedo clown was in front of his side, one was away from the seal, and the other was to avoid his gun, so he was quite cautious.

The tuxedo clown pulled a long piece of paper out of his pocket and shook it violently, shaking it straight like a stick.

He took this "wooden stick" and poked it into Klein's shoulder from a distance of two or three meters, trying to wake up the other party.

This guy knows a lot about "2-049", and knows that where there is a remnant of the breath of the descendants of the Antigonus family, the puppet will go berserk and control two people at the same time...... He also knew that stoning didn't seem to work?at least I hadn't seen the captain try something like that before...... Although Klein didn't understand why "2-049" no longer tried to assimilate himself in the future, he didn't dare to stay too long within five meters, so he raised his heart and waited for an opportunity.

The note was about to touch his shoulder, when Crane's left hand suddenly lifted, grabbed the top of the stick, and pulled it back.

The tuxedo clown was caught off guard, his body was pulled directly, and he staggered forward, and the distance between him and Klein was shortened again, less than two meters.

At the same time, Klein's already prepared right finger pressed the trigger of the left wheel with force.

Pong!

He fired two shots in quick succession, but not at the tuxedo clown, but at his back, at the side of him away from the seal "2-049"!

Before the gunshots rang out, the tuxedo clown had already taken the initiative to change from stumbling to rolling, instinctively avoiding it in advance.

Klein let go of his grip on the "paper stick" and staggered out several meters out of the "dangerous" range.

The tuxedo clown had just rolled around twice, and was about to reflexively pounce outward, but his head suddenly buzzed, and his thoughts quickly fell into stagnation.

Not good!

He deliberately forced me to dodge in the direction of ...... "Antigonus puppets"!

I'm at five meters...... Within the range......

How did he ...... Probably not ...... "Antigonus" ...... "puppet...... Control......

......

The tuxedo clown's tumbling paused, his joints rusting and trying to crawl outside.

By this time, Klein had already turned around, holding the revolver in both hands, and aimed at the slow-moving target.

In his eyes, this is the equivalent of shooting a fixed target.

- Because he had witnessed the battle between the tuxedo clown and Dunn, Al, and Lorota before, Klein knew that the other party was agile and good at rolling, so even if the distance between them was only one or two meters, he cautiously gave up direct shooting and forced the other party to hide in the "home field" he expected, near the seal "2-049"!

And if the puppet has no effect, the tuxedo clown will also confirm that he has fallen into a "trap", and the counterattack is only to escape, and is not a real threat.

Table tennis!

In the indescribable eyes of the tuxedo clown, he calmly pulled the trigger in a black suit.
