Mermaid?

Klein's heart was overjoyed, and excitement welled up after a long time.

After nearly four months away from Beckland, and after going through a lot of things, he finally arrived at the destination of this "trip" and met the last condition needed to advance to Sequence 5 "Secret Puppet Master"!

The anxiety and confusion caused by waiting in his heart have been growing since he entered this sea area, and all the seemingly absurd and ridiculous things that happened on the "Future" and the dangers and unknowns contained in the three states of night, noon, and dream in this god war ruin, made him always tense his spirit and spend every hour and every minute tormentedly.

Now, these emotions and these pressures finally have a chance to be released!

Call...... Crane exhaled slowly and headed straight back to the cabin, into his own room.

Without panic or forgetfulness, he took out the Azk Bronze Whistle and Will Unsetin's paper crane according to the predetermined process, and used them to interfere with the peep of the possible "mysterious queen".

Taking the remnants of the ancient spirit, the eyes of the six-winged gargoyle, the bark of the dragon-patterned tree, and the metal bottle containing the golden spring water of Sunia from his suitcase, he unfolded it behind his desk, entered the bathroom, locked the door of his house, and expertly arranged the ritual of asking for the gift.

After getting this ritual right, he didn't rush to respond to the gray mist, but arranged an additional ritual and summoned his own ritual by himself!

After taking four steps backwards and chanting a mantra, Crane came to the gray mist and responded to the summoning ritual, so that he could enter the real world as a spirit and bring the "Tinder" glove back to the mysterious space.

After finishing the preliminary work, Klein did not relax, came to the position of the fool, embodied a pen and paper, and quickly wrote a divination statement:

"It's a mermaid singing in front. ”

Removing the citrine pendant, he confirmed the situation by divination:

It is the mermaid singing in front of the "Future"!

Calming down, Crane beckoned the iron cigarette case to fly out of the clutter pile and onto the long mottled bronze table.

With a snap, he opened the lid and saw that the "all-black eye" with no pupils was still lying quietly inside, the extreme madness and danger were faintly felt, but it seemed to be sleeping.

After staring at it silently for two seconds, Crane picked up the Tinder glove and slowly placed it on his right palm.

After all this was done, Klein did not hesitate any longer, and stretched out his right palm forward, spreading his five fingers.

The picture he saw in front of him was filled with all kinds of light clusters, gray and white, patina, crimson and black to form the main tone of this mysterious space.

And inside the "Black Eye", a steaming, tooth-and-claw-like iron black light is wrapping around all the remaining colors.

Without relying on his own spiritual intuition, Klein can clearly understand that it is this iron-black light that represents the spiritual pollution of the "true creator"!

On high alert, he clasped his fingers together, grabbed his target, and then twisted his wrist.

The iron-black light was suddenly withdrawn and merged into the "Tinder" glove, and Klein's ears suddenly sounded illusory, evil, terrible, déjà vu, indescribable roars.

It destroyed his thoughts, wore down his spirit, and brought the pain of his head about to explode, but it was quickly suppressed by the power of the gray mist.

Crane didn't have the ability to think about it, so he followed the predetermined plan and the movements he had rehearsed many times, grabbed the "Tinder" glove with his left palm, and dropped it off and threw it onto the stone tiles of the magnificent palace.

As soon as the roar disappeared, Crane grabbed the "Eyes of All Black" with some numbness, and quickly responded to the ritual of asking for a grant, passing the extraordinary properties of the "Master of Secret Puppets" through the illusory door to the altar located in the bathroom.

He didn't dare to delay in any way, but just glanced at the "tinder" gloves that had been dyed iron black, his five fingers twisted, his palms torn, and full of evil feelings, and wrapped himself with spirituality, simulating the feeling of falling rapidly, and returning to the real world.

If "Wriggling Hunger" were to witness the whole process and the outcome of the "Tinder" glove, I wonder how it would feel...... Crane opened his eyes, grabbed the "all-black eye" in the altar, and went straight to the outside room, as such a thought flashed through his heart.

Pausing in front of his desk, Klein took out the steel milk pot that originally belonged to the kitchen of the "Future" from the side, and poured 80 ml of spring water from Sunia's Golden Spring into it.

The pale golden liquid ripples slowly, clear and transparent, making people subconsciously feel dry in their mouths and want to drink a glass to quench their thirst.

The bark of the dragon-patterned tree, the eyes of the six-winged gargoyle, and the remnants of the ancient wraith's spirituality were all put into the pot by Crane, provoking different reactions, and eventually, the color of the potion base turned to dark gold, but it looked light and fluttering, without a bit of weight.

At this critical juncture, Klein became unusually calm, calmly picked up the pupilless black eye, and sank it into the base agent.

He could already confirm that the spiritual pollution of the "True Creator" could not penetrate the gray mist and return to the "Eyes of All Black"!

And this is predictable.

The "Eyes of All Black" were instantly submerged in a dark golden liquid, and bubbles immediately erupted on the surface of the water.

Every bubble bursts, the potion goes black for a minute, and after ten seconds, all changes stop.

Inside the milk pot, the potion was formed, all black, and there seemed to be countless tiny insects swimming quickly with the naked eye.

Crane pulled out the gold coin and made a quick confirmation using the method of divination.

After receiving the revelation of success, he breathed a sigh of relief, poured the "secret puppet master" potion into the metal bottle prepared in advance, and stuffed it into his coat pocket.

He was not in a hurry, nor was he in a hurry, and according to the predetermined process, he quickly disposed of the altar in the bathroom, and retrieved the Azk bronze whistle and Will Unsetin's paper crane.

It was only then that he left the cabin with a slightly brisk pace and came to the deck.

At this time, the symbols, magic symbols, and strange patterns on the "Future" have been lit up in layers, forming a brilliant sea of stars, which weakens the mermaid's song to the greatest extent.

- Mermaids' singing is rumored to cause humans to lose their minds and become insane, so that they jump off their ships and become food for the mermaids.

Crane subconsciously looked up and looked at the window corresponding to the captain's cabin.

The "Star General" stood there, surrounded by a little starlight, and his gaze looking back was quite complicated.

Is this a reminder of what he said and the attitude he showed in his dream?Klein sneered, and said with an indifferent expression:

"I want a boat. ”

"It's ready. Gardelia unexpectedly pointed to the side of the ship.

When Gelman Sparrow hired the Future, he mentioned that his purpose was to find mermaids!

Soon, Crane left the "Future", left the protection of the bright sea of stars, stepped on a small ship, and was in the ocean.

The song came from a faint voice, as if it had penetrated directly into his spirit, making him tingle and uncontrollably wanting to hear more.

This wasn't enough for Klein, and his spiritual instincts told him that he had to get a little closer, to make the singing a little clearer, to meet the demands of the ritual.

"Storm!"

Crane pulled out a charm made of white tin and summoned a controllable gust of wind to propel the boat forward.

I don't know how long it took, but the mermaid's singing suddenly became louder, and it was clear that it was singing in Crane's ear, and every note could knock on the spirit, and every melody made people intoxicated and yearning.

Crane was in a trance, and almost jumped into the sea, swimming to the source of this beautiful song.

He tried his best to control himself, and found that there were many rocks not far ahead, and figures were sitting on the edge, singing softly.

These creatures had human heads, their eyebrows were pure and gorgeous, their chests were high but covered in dark red scales, and their lower bodies were huge fish tails that beat the reef rhythmically.

Different mermaids have different looks and different tail scales, which is a strange beauty for humans.

Crane let go of control of the boat, raised his right hand, and was about to reach into his coat pocket and take out the potion.

At this moment, the mermaids sensed his approach and looked over one after another.

Then, one by one, the creatures, known as the Kraken, stopped singing in panic and leaped into the water.

Don't go...... Klein clenched his right hand weakly twice.

Didn't you say that it was good to use singing to attract humans as food? Why did humans come and you ran away? I'm not a bad person, I'm just here to listen to a song...... At this time, Klein's heart was full of emotions.

He soon discovered that the mermaid's singing had not completely stopped, and that there were still a few mermaids with their backs to this side in the far part of the reef, still singing boldly against the background of the wind and waves, without noticing the escape of their companions.

Crane perked up, thought for a moment, and pulled out another spell.

This is the spell of the "Poseidon" realm to bring underwater creatures closer to the user!

"Storm!"

At the sound of the incantation, the blue-blue flames enveloped the white tin flake, causing it to disappear into the real world out of thin air.

Seeing that the remaining "mermaids" were aware of themselves, but no longer timid to run away, Klein immediately took out the metal bottle containing the "Secret Puppet Master" potion and unscrewed the lid.

Hurry up and just in case of accidents!

Grunt, slightly bitter potion poured into Crane's mouth with a stale feel, down his esophagus, straight for his stomach pouch.

Suddenly, Klein found himself becoming extremely stiff, as if he had returned to Tingen, back to the state in which he had been manipulated by the strange puppet of the sealed object "2-049".

He tried to move his joints, but they seemed to be filled with lead.

At the same time, he felt tiny worms burrow into each of his cells, into the spirit body.

His thoughts began to slow down, and his mind's ability to reflect his own state wore off.

The mermaid's song came melodiously, stirring up that longing, accumulating fanaticism and obsession, allowing Crane to maintain the last of his emotions, and with the help of this temptation, he was able to get rid of his rigid and sluggish state little by little.

An indifferent gray mist quickly appeared in front of his eyes, and an illusory "Hornachis...... Fregra ...... Hornachis ...... Fregela ......", and compared to his promotion to "soothsayer", "clown", and "magician", this murmur has become noticeably staccato, as if it is being ruled out by some interference.

Unlike when he became a "Faceling", his whispering was noticeably stronger, and he was able to intermittently break through the barrier between the gray fog and reality...... My ability to think is restored! Klein was overjoyed and tried to raise his arm.

The difficulty of the joint position is still there, but it is getting weaker and weaker!

At the same time, Klein "saw" himself as he was:

The complexion is yellow-brown, like a doll that has been buried alive for years wrapped in old bandages;

Sprouts hide beneath the skin, wriggling, separating, merging.

Klein immediately sketched countless balls of light in his mind, and calmed this state with "meditation".

In the process, the mermaid's song still echoed in his ears, causing his joints and muscles to twitch and slowly fade into stiffness.

I don't know how long it took, but Crane opened his eyes and his body was completely normal.

He took a breath and said silently:

"Finally......

"Finally Sequence 5!

"It's finally the 'Master of Secret Puppets'!"
