[Puppet Master - Crane]'s "Chanismen Infiltration Project" has officially begun!

[Magic Mirror-Arrodus] activates the skill, and "The Phantom of Dwayne Dantès" is equipped.

[Master of Secret Puppets - Crane] successfully disguised himself as a cleaning servant of the Night Church!

[Master of Secret Puppets - Crane] successfully disguised himself as the old caretaker of Chanismen!

【Puppet Master - Crane】Saw the "Parles Zoroaster's Pendant" Leonard Mitchell in Chanisgate!

"Parles Zoroaster" chooses to remain silent because he discovers that Crane's disguise is beyond Leonard's capabilities, and revealing the other party will reveal his existence. Therefore, "Leonard Mitchell" did not notice that the old guard in front of him was an acquaintance pretending.

[Master of Secret Puppets - Crane] successfully entered Chanis Gate.

Sensing the call of the "Notes of the House of Antigonus", Kleon approached the notes.

[Hidden Angel 0-17] appeared.

[Puppet Master - Crane] was hidden.

Crane fell out of this world.

……

In short, after omitting nearly 10,000 words of stealing notes, Crane was sent to Mount Honaches, where the red moon shone.

The first thing that caught his eye was the fog that permeated the surroundings and the deep, cold night, and not far away, there was a small town.

The most conspicuous building in the town is a very old spired church, which is completely black, has no bell tower, and hovers one after another black crows hovering at the top.

There are many buildings scattered around the church, ranging from ordinary two-story houses, simple wooden houses, bakeries with hanging signs, and gray mills powered by waterwheels, but there are not a single pedestrian, who seem to have fallen asleep in the quiet and peaceful night.

As a "soothsayer", Crane instantly felt that this town was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere!

After a brief moment of reminiscence, he remembered what that meant.

This is the source of danger at night at the relics of the gods!

After entering the easternmost area of the Sunia Sea, when night falls, if anyone does not sleep and does not enter the dream world, when the sky dawns and noon comes, they will be found to have disappeared silently.

The town was in great danger, and Crane didn't dare to be careless, and quickly began to confirm his situation.

He took the "wriggling hunger" out and put it on his left hand, slightly relieved when he confirmed that it was still usable.

Crane then grazes Louis Vane, but the Traveler's Gate does not appear. He used his spirit to try to travel through the spirit realm, only to find that he was still in place, only his body became transparent.

The reality and the spirit world seem to be completely cut off here!

Crane wasn't too surprised by this situation, because the people who disappeared in the "ruins of the god war" have never been found, and if they could be combined with the spirit world, the missing people who are good at communicating with spirits will definitely not disappear silently.

Then, he took four steps backwards, preparing to break the blockade with the Source Fort.

But this time, after he finished silently reciting the four sentences of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun's honorable name, there was no gray mist in front of him, and his spirituality did not rise!

Crane shrank and suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.

All along, he couldn't get out of danger without the help of Fort Yuan, and now, this last hole card can't be used!

Whew, there is a feeling that the plug-in has been blocked...... Crane relieved the tension with a complaint.

Based on his own occult knowledge, he initially suspected that the misty town in front of him was most likely related to the true god, because only in this way could he explain the problem of not being able to enter the gray mist.

This place is closely related to the night, and I was "sent" in again by encountering the upper echelons of the church...... Could it be a "prison" built by the goddess herself? It is possible that she is the "mother of secrets", and maybe she can directly turn people and things into a "hidden" state, so that people in the real world can never find them...... Crane thought hard for a while, and decisively decided to enter the Misty Town to explore, because it was there that there was the most likely way to hide.

He examined himself, then took out the "Blood General", who had become a little bad, and let him walk in front, slowly entering the town in the distance.

……

In the town, where the doors of many houses were still open, as if to welcome guests from foreign lands, Crane could see that there were half-nibbled white bread, glasses with red wine, and messy silver knives and forks on the tables inside......

It looked like someone was having dinner, but no one was there, and the owners of the different houses seemed to have suddenly evaporated from their lives.

Evaporate...... The word popped into Crane's mind, and Señor turned his gaze to the gray-white mill.

In the mill, the stone mill with the help of the wind is still turning silently, but there is no flour coming out, and there is a lot of spilling on the ground.

The town was quiet, and the pins could be heard, and although the stone mills and windmills and waterwheels were turning, there was no eerie sound of the wind.

The red moon was still hidden in the clouds, but the gray-black clouds were moving slowly.

Crane roughly estimated the speed of the clouds, this is an area with a close relationship with the goddess of the night, the red moon is the symbol of the goddess, and now that there is no moonlight, maybe he should pay attention to whether anything will happen to the town after the moon appears.

He walked along one of the widest roads in town, far behind his secret puppet, looking through the eyes of Señor at a time when it seemed to stand still at some point in his daily life.

Is there no one here?

Crane looked around warily, ready for battle, but saw not a single living man.

Where did all the people who disappeared before go?

The houses and streets were clean, the food showed signs of being eaten, but there were no corpses and no traces of blood.

No, there was a bloodstain.

Seigor stopped suddenly.

Directly in front of him, on the clean ground, there was this large patch of viscous dark red blood, which almost filled the entire street.

The blood was very fresh, there was no sign of drying, and Señor took a step forward, and the blood stain immediately burst out of small bubbles, as if it were alive.

The dark red camouflage faded, the blood stains turned bright red as if they had just been spilled, and dark shadows appeared on the surface, as if countless monsters were sealed underneath, awakened by fresh life at this moment, scrambling to get out.

The ground was flat, but the trail of blood slowly stretched in Seigno's direction.

At a distance of several meters, the body of the secret puppet Seigor immediately changed, and strange bulges appeared on his head and back shoulder blades, as if something was about to emerge from under the skin.

His limbs and arms began to swell, his knee joints strangely reversed backwards, and the color of his skin rapidly deepened.

Even, Crane suddenly felt that the spirit thread in his hand began to shake, and a new personality seemed to be born in the body of this secret puppet, and he began to compete for control of Seigor!

In just two seconds, the image of the "Blood General" has undergone unimaginable changes, and if it weren't for the facial features, Crane would almost have been able to believe that this was his secret puppet!

Crane was horrified, and he hurriedly made the "Blood Admiral" retreat, but the blood trail seemed to have found Seigor's location, and quickly spread a blood line to follow.

Señor's mutation became more and more serious, and Crane gradually saw what the other party looked like after the mutation-

Demon!

At this moment, the surrounding world suddenly lit up, and I saw the dark clouds in the sky slowly dissipate, and the clear light of the red moon sprinkled all over the earth.

Crane saw that the somewhat out-of-control Seigor puppet was motionless for a moment, and then, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis from all directions pierce his temple like a pinprick!

He didn't have time to think, so he immediately retracted the immobile Señor, and then took refuge in the nearest house with a lunge and a tumbling.

In the next moment, the originally deserted town suddenly had a lot of residents, who walked naturally through the streets as if they had come out of the ground, greeting each other and discussing whether to buy only bread today, or to be a little more extravagant, and to have a pound of beef.

All of a sudden, the town of the misty came to life!

However, the looming figures did not attempt to enter the houses on either side, and they seemed to walk back and forth in the street, making noises that were hard to believe they were speaking, which was closer to the whispered roar of the beast.

"Can't go out!"

Crane couldn't imagine what was going on outside, only that the town had suddenly become extremely dangerous.

What would happen if you were one step slower? He didn't dare to think about it.

The dark curtains are closed, and the cut-outs of the Mohu Lake are like shadow puppets walking back and forth.

Crane freed Segnor again, once again in control with the Spirit Thread. But the mutations that have taken place have not disappeared, and it is estimated that Señol will not recognize himself even if he is alive now and looks in the mirror.

"There's a demon injured in the town of Mist? Traces of blood were left behind, and because he was strong, the traces remained, and they would be contaminated just by getting close......"

The demon is the "criminal" path, and it happens to be adjacent to Seigor's "prisoner", which is why it mutates so quickly?

Crane suddenly thought of someone.

"Edward Vaughn seems to ...... After I reported it, it did disappear immediately. ”

He was a little incredulous, but he also felt that it was reasonable, and he felt that there was a very high probability that he had guessed correctly.

Crane felt creepy for a moment: "Is she still stuck here?" No, it can't be, Señol walks in the town so brightly, an angel can't be invisible, and if she wanted to do it, I'd be dead long ago! ”

"She's not here, or she's dead!"

Crane was in good spirits, and in this particular situation, he preferred the former because it represented an opportunity to get out.

The "shadow puppet show" outside is still going on, and I don't know when the next red moon will be covered.

Crane waited patiently for a while, and seeing that the people of the town were still repeating their daily lives, he couldn't help but start thinking of other means.

He examined himself and the extraordinary abilities of the magical objects one by one, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he found a way.

This method stems from the "open door" of the "traveler" that he thought was the most useless "traveler"!

Under normal circumstances, this extraordinary ability is completely covered by "teleportation", but in this mysterious and strange misty town, it is more useful just with the help of the special spirit world!

Crane didn't rush to act, took out the gold coin where the "resentful spirit" Seigor originally lived, and used the method of divination to inquire about his own spirituality, and got the answer that he should "go through the wall".

Unable to receive symbolic revelation directly from the spirit world, he had no choice but to believe in himself, and immediately walked over to the wall that was shared with the house next door and pressed his hands on it.

Silently, Crane pierced through the stone wall and into the next door.

As he passed by the pool of blood, Crane saw many figures around him going about their normal lives and conversations, even when there was no one on the other side.

……

The crow at the top of the church overlooks the town.

In the night church in the middle of the town, under the gaze of countless hanging corpses, Zarathu, who had closed his eyes and was pretending to sleep, felt a light footstep approaching him.

She opened her eyes, and those were dark.

She saw a young man—the "Master of Secret Puppets" in his spiritual brilliance—standing in front of him, looking warily at herself and at the pile of interesting old board games that lay at her feet.

At the feet of this young "master of secret puppets", there is a black and white eye like a stick figure in the pitch-black shadow.

It seems that because it is isolated from the outside world, the eyes are just turning from side to side at regular intervals in a slightly dull manner, taking in the surroundings.

"Finally, another 'soothsayer' has arrived......"

The young man on the opposite side stood still a few steps away, and asked without the slightest hint of fear:

"Why do you say that?"

"Do you want to get out of here?" He seemed to know nothing, and Zarathu avoided answering, "I can tell you how." ”

The young man was not impressed, and immediately asked:

"Then why are you still here?"

Zarathu smiled: "Because I am already dead." ”

Digesting the "Sorcerer" once in a while is good for physical and mental health, the young "Master of the Secret Puppet" was frightened and fell silent.

Zarathu looked into the eyes in the shadow of the "Master of the Secret Puppet", and snorted and chuckled twice:

"It seems that the one has finally picked out his own candidate......"

She looked at the surprised visitor and said in a muffled and deep voice:

"Young man, it looks like we all need some help from each other."

She reached out and grabbed the board game collection in her hand, glanced at each other with a proud look of "You are a young man who must have never seen the crystallization of entertainment culture in these ancient times", and laughed in a low voice:

"You're here, you won't be able to leave for a while, come and pass the time with me."

Edward took a sip of homemade milk tea, skimmed the milk cap with a spoon, and looked at the person across the table with three points of disgust in his eyes.

"What are you doing here?"

Richard looked left and right, about to touch the spoon of sterling silver, and she smiled and said, "Have you heard a story recently?" In a small rural town in East Bailang, there is a sudden outbreak of mass mental illness, in which patients dance wildly in red dancing shoes until they die of exhaustion. ”

"Oh?"

"This mass mental illness seems to have been frequent since last month, and once you start dancing, you can't stop it by any means, and even if you lose consciousness in the middle of it, you will continue to dance until you wake up until you die of exhaustion. The epidemic began in a small rural town, but later spread to the city, where it was suspected by the Church that members of a psychological alchemy society were performing rituals or experiments. ”

"It feels a lot like a story I've heard before." Richard said, "Even the red dancing shoes are exactly the same, is this a mysterious reproduction?" ”

Edward took another sip of milk tea: "It's hard to solve? ”

"It's not difficult, if there is no demigod to help deal with it, theoretically, you just need to circle the epidemic within a range and wait for all the patients inside to die of exhaustion." Richard sighed, "I was going to help, but I didn't expect that I was already a wanted criminal." ”

"But the incident is a bit strange, no matter how you circle it, the 'red dancing shoes' are constantly spreading outward, and later the church realized that the source is still there, and then captured a pair of wooden feet dancing in red dancing shoes, which are now the first-level seals of the Storm Church."

After finishing speaking, seeing that Edward did not react, Richard poured himself a cup of milk tea, sighed and said:

"The Northern Continent Church has begun to seal down my institution and limit the power of the Foundation!"

"I've just moved all the people of the Rorsted Islands, and now at least 100,000 people in the North Continent have lost their homes and hospitals, and that's the only time those guys will react quickly."

Richard rubbed his hands: "Teacher, is it convenient for the Rose School to borrow some people?" If you haven't gone crazy yet, I want to take a trip to the North Continent. Anyway, they won't give me money this year, I'm not moral, I'm going to rob people. ”

"Why don't you go to the Church of the Grim Reaper for help?"

Edward said, "Spirit Wandering and Underworld Gate Teleportation are much easier. ”

"The front line of the Church of the Reaper is tight, and the rear still has to be governed, and there are no more extra manpower after occupying a county and a half."

Richard spread his hands: "It will probably enter a period of pulling next, but it's okay to continue fighting, after all, the 'Angel of War' of the Aurora Society has already joined the war." It depends on what the emperor of the Bailang Empire thinks. ”

"Can I borrow it?"

"You can go and ask who is willing to help you."

"Thank you so much. By the way, where have you been lately? ”

"The Abyss."

"You're going to be promoted?"

"I'm waiting."

"Oh. Trainor has been complaining to me lately that the 'Angel of War' forced him to train in the army and fight guerrillas, and asked me if I could jump to me, what do you suggest? ”

"Yes, if he wants to." Edward's face did not change, "My pact with the true Creator is unbreakable......"

"Then I'll go back and ask him again."

Richard asked, "Have you had your volume active lately?" Traces of demonic activity frequently appear along the coast of the Northern Continent, and they are very simple and crude, and the local church has invested a lot of effort in hunting for them, but they have never found anything, and they have always let the murderer go away because of various coincidences. ”

"Coincidence?"

Edward, who has been staying near the abyss recently and knows the situation in the outside world by praying, frowned slightly, although the current demon scrolls are under his control, but it is not impossible for a lone demon to fall. But, coincidence?

She had a quill in her mind, and a stickman holding a pen with "Sequence 4" written on her head.

“…… What are writers doing? ”

Crane: I'm super, I'm a king, I'm a rich, I'm a chess player, can't this be a fellow countryman, right?

Clan's true creation when he entered the town: one eye suddenly went black
