Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 28 028 Mission Settlement, New Module
'Mission: The theater never ends.'

'Mystery, history, miracle.'

'Divination, performance, weird.'

'Tear down, build up, and sew together.'

"The dome seems to hide the miracle itself. Be careful, the power of miracles should not be underestimated... ah, of course, the audience should not be underestimated either."

'Mission Stage: 3/3'
'Status: Completed.'

'Congratulations to the host for completing the stage mission [Never-ending Theater]! The reward has been issued, please check it.'

'The task status has been changed.'

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: 7%.'

The theater faded away, leaving only ruins.

The circus, which had looked a bit shabby but still decent before, was now a mess. No one knew where the performers had gone and whether they were safe now.

Tang had already guessed their ending and sighed silently in his heart.

This world is too cruel to the lower class. Even honest people may become victims once they encounter any extraordinary events.

This is a cannibalistic world.

"Since the people from the church haven't arrived yet, I think it's time for us to leave."

The afterglow of the setting sun still hung not far away. The previous explosion had clearly alerted the Beyonders of the Church. Before they arrived, Baron Ramde approached and stood beside the brutally murdered Black Knight.

The Black Knight has returned to his original appearance, and his corpse, like a mummy, is vaguely covered with a strange color.

That was the Black Knight's extraordinary characteristics slowly condensing.

At this moment, two four-meter-tall skeletons emerged from the ground. One of them grabbed the Black Knight and brought him, along with his constantly emitting extraordinary characteristics, into the spiritual world. The other one looked at Olson, who was squatting on the ground and about to vomit, with black flames burning in its eyes.

Olsson: ...

Mommy there's something dirty staring at me!
Irving limped over and looked very uncomfortable after being hung there.

"Father."

Baron Ramde nodded, looked at his eldest son, and glanced at the other's black armor. Without saying anything more, he pulled his eldest son and second son into the spiritual world with rich and overlapping colors.

After passing through the spirit world again, they had returned to the castle.

Olson was captured from the spirit world by the Skeleton, and because he was almost turned into a puppet and almost lost control before, his condition was terrible at the moment.

The place where the few people appeared was the small church of the castle. The holy emblem of the Goddess of Night was placed there, and it seemed to have some kind of tranquil and smooth flash.

Baron Ramde looked up at the holy emblem of the Goddess of Night, his gentle eyes turned a little colder, he pulled the corners of his mouth but said nothing more.

"are you OK."

Tang walked over to Olson and squatted down, feeling that he still had to care for his old friend.

Olson waved his hand, indicating that he could just vomit for a while.

Although there are some signs of losing control...

"This is much better than the sounds I heard before."

Olson gave a pale, wry smile.

Tang nodded and said, "Then I'll ask someone to take you to the guest room to rest first."

"Okay, ugh..."

It was really uncomfortable to decide whether to vomit or not, and Tang also wanted to vomit after hearing it.

But, what was that sound Olsson had heard earlier? A whisper?

Mr. Men? Tang was lost in thought. Owen walked over and patted Tang on the back as he stood up. "You should go and rest for a while. I'll talk to my father about what happened today."

"Ok."

Tang glanced at Baron Ramde who was waiting for them and nodded.

His tense nerves relaxed slightly, and at this moment he suddenly realized that his spiritual power was almost at its limit.

The series of operations just now almost drained his spirit and energy every second. Now that he was out of danger and the mission was successfully completed, he felt the fatigue and dull pain in his body.

"As expected, when people get excited, adrenaline runs through their veins."

Tang Qiang walked back to his room from the chapel with all his strength, closed the door and planned to meditate to recover the spiritual loss.

Tang didn't come out during dinner.

Mrs. Boyanka looked a little surprised to see her husband, who was supposed to leave, appear here again, but she quickly accepted it.

Owen pulled at his leg, grimacing.

After Lady Boyanka finished her meal and left, Owen talked to Baron Ramde about what happened today.

'Host, it is now 4:02 standard time.'

Tang kept his eyes open, no longer sleepy.

He went to bed too early last night and had not received or sorted out many things yet. He simply got up, but ended up being trapped in the bed when he left it.

After struggling for a while, he decided to satisfy his heart's desire and opened the system interface while lying on the bed.

'Phase mission: [The Never-Ending Theater].'

'Task status: Completed.'

'Congratulations host, identification times +20, remaining identification times: 134 times.'

'Craftsman' can be used +10 times, and the remaining number of forging times is 23.'

'Number of knowledge fragments +1000, remaining number of knowledge fragments: 2316.'

'The number of times you can make a bionic puppet +1, the number of times you can make one remaining is 1.'

Are you still worried about your marionette's lack of agility? Are you still worried about being too far away to operate? Do you feel sorry for having to give up your old marionette because you got a new one? The new bionic marionette meets all the needs of the marionette master...

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

"P.S., switching to Alchemist will increase the number of times you can create Bionic Marionettes."

"That's all?" Tang's mind was filled with "That's it? That's it?"

He worked so hard and wasted so many fragments of knowledge, and now this is all he gets?
"Also, where did you learn this advertising-sounding rhetoric?"

Tang's mouth twitched, and he sat up on the bed. "What is this bionic secret doll?"

"In layman's terms, it's similar to AI control."

The system is also very honest. 'You can set the background and personality of the puppet you control. Based on the completeness of the settings, it will automatically add other related content. When encountering events, the puppet will automatically react according to its own personality settings without the need for the puppet master to control it.'

"As the number of reactions increases, the character of the secret puppet...the puppet's design will continue to improve."

Okay, the world is just one giant Chat GPT.

'The most important point is that it will allow the scope of application of the secret puppet to no longer be limited to the secret puppet master's surroundings.'

"As long as the spirit world covers the area, the marionette equipped with this bionic marionette module can be manipulated at any time!"

The system looked like it was about to praise me, and Tang's mouth twitched.

The more he listened, the more it sounded like something made by an alchemist was stuffed into the marionette.

"You didn't develop this ability temporarily, did you?"

"How could that be~"
