Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 397, 396 'Lies'?
The Silver City exploration team recently discovered a temple enshrining the statue of the true creator. In order to avoid getting involved with the 'fallen creator', Tarot Club member Derrick Berg followed the advice of the "Hanged Man" and pretended to lose control, entering the prison beneath the Twin Towers to avoid this inevitable dangerous further exploration.

Whether by accident or by fate, he was placed next to the parasite Amon.

Looking at "The Sun" Derrick beside him, Amon thoughtfully glanced at Nicholas, who was sitting in the corner of his cell, seemingly preparing to monitor him.

"Do you think if I enter the Source Castle, is it possible to change the protagonist of that guy's plan?"

“If you mean you want to receive the gifts of the ‘Supreme One,’ I think he will consider it.”

People who are just entertainers are annoying, but it's a different story when they're clearly being manipulated.

The relationship between the giver and the recipient is clearly a result that Tang is satisfied with, rather than a hostile relationship where they are ready to kill each other's original bodies as soon as they meet... Although, in essence, Amon, who is now only at Sequence 2, can no longer influence Tang, who clearly has the upper hand.

Amon's smile widened slightly, then he shrugged helplessly, "Never mind."

Nikolai's expression remained unchanged, his gaze deep and unfathomable. He looked at Derrick Berg in the cell next to him and said nothing more.

He did not interfere with the connection between Amon and Derrick; like Amon, he was merely an avatar.

Nikolai, who possesses the uniqueness of this method, can also use the Source Castle to forcibly intervene at any time when Amon tries to do something he is unaware of.

"I have a mission."

In the room under the Crimson Moon, Klein was reading by lamplight. There were still many things he needed to learn in the Miskatonic Library. During his time in Backlund, aside from playing the role of a qualified detective, Klein spent most of his time learning the relevant, missing knowledge of the occult.

Klein, already having a spiritual warning, quickly reacted to the sudden sound of Flamel's voice in his mind.

"What is it?"

He was a little curious.

"You can take this first."

As Nikolai finished speaking, a card suddenly appeared in the reflection of the window in front of him.

The Black Emperor card appeared in the mirror, then in the real world, landing on the table in front of Klein.

"Desecrating playing cards?"

He was somewhat surprised, and then filled with questions.

"Recently, there have been several cases of human trafficking in Backlund, which involves a power struggle between the Backlund leadership and the various churches... I know what you're thinking, Klein. You can think about this yourself. It might not be a good thing for me to tell you the answer."

Klein, who was about to ask a question, twitched his lips slightly. Okay, you decide.

“Investigate a man named Kapin who is connected to human trafficking cases. It wouldn't be a problem to uncover more information or do other things from him.” Mr. Flamel paused briefly at this point before continuing:
You are all alone.

"Am I alone?" Klein hesitated for a moment, but quickly came to his senses. He looked at the blasphemous cards in front of him and carefully asked:
"That blasphemous card is..."

"It will be useful."

After saying this, Mr. Flamel's voice disappeared.

Klein waited a few seconds, then picked up the "Black Emperor" card with a strange expression. "He said I should come alone, this thing might be useful..."

Thinking of something, Klein glanced at his room door, and after confirming that Tang and his puppet were not there, he got up and took the playing card into the bathroom. He then used a ritual to send the card into the mysterious space above the gray fog, and entered it himself to explore the effects of the card.

Soon, he experienced the spiritual changes that occurred after he contained the playing cards within his body.

"It actually works?"

As expected, Mr. Flamel knew about the mysterious space above this gray fog.

He might even have a much deeper understanding of this mysterious space than he thought.

Where exactly is this place...?

What does this have to do with his time travel?
-

On the day the tarot session ended, Klein witnessed an extremely horrifying scene while hearing the prayers from "The Sun" Derrick Berg.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Seemingly noticing something, Amon behind Derrick adjusted the monocle he was wearing over his left eye and smiled innocently.

Klein stared in horror at Amon, who was parasitizing Derrick's spirit, and instinctively wanted to recite Mr. Flamel's name.

Ahhh, Mr. Flamel has caused trouble in the land of God!

Klein, having barely suppressed the urge to call for help and tear Amon to pieces, calmed down a bit.

Amon, having parasitized Derrick, had clearly noticed the gray fog.

But He couldn't come up because He hadn't received an invitation?
The Tarot meeting has ended, and the next one will be at least a week away. If he doesn't discover Derrick's problem before then, will Amon... follow "The Sun" into the Tarot meeting the following week? And ascend above the gray fog?
Klein felt a chill run down his spine. Considering that Amon had once been called a blasphemer and that he was once the King of Angels of Sequence 1, Klein raised his vigilance to the highest level. His gaze toward Amon's clone was as cold as a knife, and he prepared to find a way to kill this thing.

“Mr. Flamel’s presence is evident in Silver City, which means that Amon’s existence can be erased from a realistic perspective.”

As long as Mr. Flamel is informed that Silver City is in a daze, this matter will be over soon. Even if he cannot easily interfere with Silver City through the mysterious space above this gray fog, Mr. Flamel can remove the daze.

After calming down a bit, Amon's body floated up from Derrick, whom He had parasitized, and moved closer to the crimson star, and seemed to get closer to the mysterious space above the gray fog.

Before Klein could make any move, Amon's slightly amused voice rang out:
"You really trust that guy Nicolas Flamel that much?"

"Do you really believe that Flamel is thinking of you? That he doesn't know your secret and wants you to live?"

Klein's expression, which showed a slight sense of fear and unease at seeing Amon here, froze for a moment before settling down.

The Blasphemer, once the most powerful liar, said nothing credible.

"Think about that poem?"

Do you remember what that poem was about?

Amon's smile widened, and he no longer cared whether "Fool" reacted. He never intended to ascend the Source Castle, but did so anyway.
