Mystery: The High-Dimensional Overlooker.

"After all, in the end, these things actually appeared in places under the jurisdiction of the police and the military - their supervision is not very good."

Klein silently glanced at the spiritual threads extending from the ground one after another. He said in a low voice, answering Leonard's question:

"maybe."

"In the current Loen Empire, the emperor's will is equivalent to the official will. Since residents are allowed to carry out illegal construction, it may mean..."

Klein paused for a moment, but still didn't say much: "This may also be a choice that is beneficial to George III himself. Even though he knew that there would be enemies mixing here to prepare some rituals to summon gods, he still chose to do it. Maybe he I feel that there is a high probability that the church’s extraordinary people will also solve these problems.”

"Isn't this giving us free labor?" Leonard complained:

"We've only dealt with one, uh, two or three divine descent rituals before, including the one they're currently holding. Based on my experience, the evil god the demons want to summon should be the same evil god summoned by the 'Rose School' at that time, right?"

Leonard obviously remembered the thrilling experience he had in the Rhoad Islands.

"Not to mention, our church is now cooperating with the Church of the Creator. Speaking of which, the first ritual we solved back then was a divine descent ritual by the Creator, who has now become a true God. The world is truly wondrous. I wouldn't even dare to write about it like that."

Solving multiple divine descent rituals in a row—what kind of legendary investigator is this… But there are such people—your own experience is already very protagonist-like, okay? Klein silently glanced at Leonard:

"How is Mr. Paleszoroaster now?"

"The old man is quite good - but I think it's a bit too good. He said that if he were parasitic on you, he would have been able to restore his own strength long ago."

Then he becomes the buffet for the Heavenly Lord... When the Heavenly Lord wakes up, he can take back the "Origin Castle" and the Sequence One attribute at the same time, and directly use Amon - this can be regarded as the revenge of Mr. Pales. Klein thought without mercy and nodded:

"Then say hello to Mr. Palles for me."

Leonard laughed and used his left hand to lift his hair. "If you do that, the old man will immediately accuse me of being impolite, Klein."

"...Then you have a pretty good relationship." It's already outrageous to be able to joke with an angel who has little humanity left...

Klein's lips curled up, and he wiped his face with his hands, turning himself into a skinny one. He took out a torn black robe from the bag he carried with him and put it on himself.

Looking at Klein who had completed his transformation, Leonard clicked his tongue.

"Is the demigod-level 'Faceless Man' ability so useful?"

"Your height can now compete with the Feysac people outside who claim to be descendants of giants - your height has increased by forty centimeters, right? Klein."

Not only that, my height is based on the height of those little giants in Silver City - I feel like you were thinking of something impolite just now?

Klein quickly reacted and thought to himself: I have to find an opportunity to throw you into the Tarot Club later, otherwise I will have to hide many things from you.

At least, he needs to be allowed to recite the honorable name of "The Fool" within these nine days, so that he can pray to "The Fool" when he is in danger. After all, since the Night Goddess also cooperates with the Fool to a certain extent, Leonard should not be too resistant to praying to the Fool.

Klein nodded to Leonard: "Then I'll go in first, and if anything happens, I'll let you know at any time."

"I have already told you the incantation to summon my messenger. You don't have to go to too much trouble then. You only need to let my messenger appear in front of me, and I will know that I can go in - don't worry, I will be there for you at any time. "

He blinked.

Before they came, they were naturally prepared to investigate these demons.

To put it nicely, their actions now are called investigations, but to put it worse, they are using the strength of Sequence Four to kill them, directly deal with the group of demons, and then use psychic channels to get the secrets of the actions these demons gathered here to prepare for.

Before arriving, Klein had already used his pendulum to perform divination above the gray mist. There were no high-sequence demons here that could threaten him. The strongest ones are probably Sequence Four demigods at most, and even in the current situation where there are no extraordinary items around him, Klein still has the confidence to kill demigods of the same level.

After all, he had Sefirah Castle by his side. Although he had lost the Sequence One characteristic granted to him by the High-Dimensional Overlooker, which allowed him to steal the power of Sequence Castle, and was unable to directly utilize the Beyonder abilities of Sequence Five and adjacent sequences, his combat prowess was still quite terrifying.

Of course, Klein also knew that this place would not be the only gathering point for demons. They have always been cunning, and with the power granted by the outer gods, the demons will definitely not be limited to this place, but will gather in many places in Backlund to prepare for the final goal.

Backlund lacked the numerous monsters and demons beneath Trier, nor did it possess a single "Shadow Tree." The "Mother Tree of Desire" would undoubtedly be more cautious in its planning this time. The demons that had gathered this time were presumably mostly devoted followers of the "Mother Tree of Desire."

Beside him, a girl dressed in a maid outfit appeared. This was the puppet maid named Trey who was controlled by him.

"Let's go."

Klein muttered to himself in a low tone and disappeared.Leonard's body gradually melted into the darkness, and he looked at the factory door quietly.

……

A demon was sitting in the corner of the factory, with some ritual items placed in front of him. In this small underground city, there were one after another such demons, and some of them were scattered around. There were severed limbs and arms, and some were equipped with well-made weapons.

But one thing they have in common is that their exposed skin is covered with an inverted five-pointed star symbol, with some black liquid flowing on the symbol.

And in the center of these demons is a figure covered in robes. In front of this figure is a faint red light. In the red light is a glass jar about the height of a person, in which is soaked a mass of... It is a blood-red vine that beats slowly like a heart.

The robed figure raised his right hand and dropped a crystal eyeball-like object into the glass container—a Beyonder. After the Beyonder was integrated into the glass container, the liquid soaking the blood-red vines boiled for a moment, then emitted a silvery-white light.

But soon, the white light fell silent again, and the blood-red light flashed again in the large jar of solution. But no one noticed that under the cover of the bloody light, a figure wearing close-fitting clothing quietly emerged.

Soon, a soft laughter sounded in one's ear.

As a "crackling" sound was heard, the gas-lit lights in the factory flickered, and the pupils of a demon shrank slightly, then returned to normal.

Immediately afterwards, with this demon as the center, one demon after another felt that their bodies were controlled by others after becoming stiff, and finally slowly lost consciousness in fear. A girl with charming features sat on the demon's shoulder and hummed softly.

In the distance, a demon, expressionless and wooden, resembling a puppet, clutched his throat in agony. His body instantly grew larger, and his skin turned dark, like burning lava.

However, even the "demonization" did not make his condition much better. After a brief period of pain, he could not even breathe. He spat out a mouthful of yellow blood and fell to the ground with a "thump".

The next moment, the purple-faced demon reopened his eyes and stood up again with a face that was unique to him after he died of illness. This scene was quite strange, as if he had been resurrected after death.

"Extraordinary people of the 'God of Death' pathway, and 'Witches'? No... that woman is not a living creature."

The figure shrouded in robes in the distance muttered to himself, frowned as he watched the demons, who were showing signs of fear and becoming numb one by one.

——The one who came to attack may be a demigod. With the ability of the demigod, these demons are indeed difficult to resist.

But even though they showed expressions of fear, the "disease" continued to spread.

Chapter 368 Digesting the "Strange Mage"

What scares these demons is not that they are about to die, but that their death is unclear.

They hate themselves that even after they have given up their conscience and done enough evil things, the power they exchanged from the gods has no effect at all in the face of such a terrifying enemy.

They didn't even know where their enemies were, and they couldn't even ask for help, and they were silently turned into secret puppets.

Almost at the same time that the first demon was transformed into a marionette, the blood-red vines soaked in the solution jumped with a "plop". The sound of the beating heart made the figure in the middle, shrouded in robes, alert.

He snorted coldly, and when he heard this voice, several extraordinary people with the gift of "Desire Apostle" at the fifth level of the sequence stood up suddenly.

"What happened?" An Apostle of Desire turned to look at the figure in the robe. He remained silent, only watching the demons slowly standing up one by one in the distance.

"What's the matter?" He raised his chin: "If I don't remind you, you will be just like those losers."

Listening to the leader's words and seeing this scene, the "Apostle of Desire" felt his scalp tingling.

His body suddenly turned into a squirming black liquid and appeared in front of a demon. He raised his hand and pressed it on the demon's head, crushing the demon's head directly.

However, their actions were completely ineffective. After crushing the heads of several demons that were walking towards them, the "Apostle of Desire" looked at the other fearless demons and finally showed some panic in his expression.

——He didn’t even know who his enemies were, and all his subordinates had become his enemies.

You have to know that the "Demon" path is not a path with absolute dominance from top to bottom like the "Death God". Every demon has a rebellious nature. Unless there is a big gap in strength, the dozens of demons here can defeat them one by one with the combined efforts.

There are certainly a lot of these demons, but when it comes to the "Apostles of Desire", only single digits are left that have received the gift.

"He is a 'Secret Puppet Master' - find him, and he will no longer be able to control the Secret Puppet."

The hooded man spoke calmly, and a pair of demon horns hidden in the shadows emitted a breathtaking red light.

He knew, of course, that a Puppet Master capable of controlling so many puppets simultaneously couldn't be an ordinary Sequence Five. However, he had no intention of telling the other Apostles of Desire about his true strength.

It is not difficult to gift a demon to the "Apostle of Desire" at first. And it doesn't matter even if the recipients of the gift are believers who have not yet become demons. The great "Mother Tree of Desire" has given them the great gift of transforming from ordinary people into Sequence Six. It is also very simple to turn them into Sequence Five.

He was a demigod "Devil" of the Demonic Path, and before that, he was just an ordinary "Apostle of Desire." However, he firmly believed in the Mother Tree of Desire, unlike the other members of the Demonic Family who believed in the Abyss.

It is precisely because of this that after successfully walking out of the abyss, he gained the favor of the great god and became a demigod.

After these demons fell into a pool of blood, he looked at the exhausted "Apostles of Desire" under his command, stretched out his hand, and gently held something in the air.

After seeing the fearful expression on his subordinate's face, the devil's expression remained unfazed - he even wanted to laugh.

They are Sequence Five Beyonders who have been infected by the "Pain Witch" disease. Now, they are bound to die, so they might as well make some contribution to the coming of the Lord.

They all have the gifts given by the Mother Tree of Desire, and although taking back these gifts cannot speed up the coming ceremony of the Mother Tree of Desire, it can completely stimulate the bloody roots bred at this node for a short period of time to find the intruder hidden around them.

It's a pity that if you are exposed, you have to change positions... The devil thought with some regret.

I don't know which idiot exposed himself during the blood sacrifice, and was followed here, exposing all of them to the enemy's sight.

"—The Lord's Advent Ritual must not fail." The devil said in a low voice, feeling no remorse for slaughtering his companions.

"Give your life for the advent of the Lord."

As they fell one by one, drop after drop of viscous black liquid seemed to emerge in the air, forming a black mist.

These mist seemed harmless, but as the black mist gradually formed, the soil on the ground surged, and plants grew out like wriggling flesh and blood.

The heart soaked in the glass jar beat once, sending out a little bit of red light. But under this situation, the devil's expression turned ferocious.

Because even if he "activated" the heart's detection function by sacrificing his subordinates and the lucky ones who had been gifted, he could not find where the enemy was.

The Lord's power failed - this made the originally confident devil look even heavier.

But his body quickly swelled up and took on the shape of a devil.

Although the devil is mentally an advanced level of a serial killer, he is cold and cunning, and likes to mislead others on various matters, including battles. But in front of the "Cunning Mage" who mainly focuses on weirdness, the devil's own characteristics in this regard are somewhat insufficient.

Not to mention, he had no idea where the real body of the "weird wizard" in front of him was. Just these secret puppets in front of him were not something the devil could control.

Although he does not need to wait for the other person's emotional fluctuations to explode the mind of others like his previous stage "Apostle of Desire", but these marionettes are essentially dead people, and there is no such thing as a mind. thing.

Looking at the remaining part of the demon who was transformed into a puppet and the beautiful woman sitting on the demon's shoulders, the demon felt a little withdrawn in his heart.

First of all, although his mental state is crazy and cruel, it does not mean that he does not desire life. In fact, the devil who received the gift of the "Mother Tree of Desire" had a stronger desire for life.

Not to mention that this demon also shoulders the heavy burden of completing the descending ceremony of the Mother Tree of Desire.

As far as he knew, there weren't many demigods in Backlund right now, only about six. After completing the mission with the Great Mother Tree of Desire, they would definitely have the chance to become Sequence 3 Whisperers.

However, not every extraordinary person who has received the gift of the "Devil" has the opportunity to become a "Whisperer". There must be only one or two people who can become Sequence Three.

If you let ordinary extraordinary people with normal mental health think about it, they might do better than other partners in order to seize the opportunity to become Sequence Three.

But for these devils who are loyal to their own desires, the way for them to compete to become Sequence Three is very simple, that is to get rid of other compatriots in this ceremony and have the exclusive opportunity to be promoted.

That's exactly what it is. When they are in danger, other devils will definitely not go too far to help them. Even if they arrive here in time, they will only take away the glass jar that is 80 to 90% cultivated and nearly intact to ask for credit from the gods. .

Inside that jar is the "Heart of Desire" formed by the divine power of the Mother Tree of Desire. After being irrigated with countless blood and flesh, this heart has become the cornerstone for the advent of the "Mother Tree of Desire".

However, no matter how hard the devil thought about the solution, he was ultimately unable to break the cage made of secret dolls. After a short attempt, he realized that he could not escape by solving the puzzle, and after a moment, he decided to use force to break the trap.
