Part 1v the undead chapter 46 one plus one is better than two
In passing through the living room, Klein’s inspiration struck him, only to feel an invisible gaze cast from nowhere, sweeping over him.
Pretending to notice nothing, he entered the sitting-room in front of him, examined his surroundings, and sought a position not far from the principal seat, but not near it either.
And the moment he passed through the door of the room, all the stares vanished, disappeared.
If it were not for the triple sealing of the “Spirit of Grievance”, it would have been detected just now. …… Mr. X is not as bold and crazy as he appears. …… Klein sat down, tugged on his hood, and let his face fall into the shadows of the room. hood to hide his face deeper in the shadows.
After ten minutes or so, when the members of the party had almost arrived, Mr. X, who wore a brass mask, came to the door without any movement and took a step inside towards the main seat.
Dressed in black classical robes and a pointed magician’s hat, he walked with an inward-looking aura, yet made everyone present unconsciously lower their heads.
After turning his body and slowly sitting down, Mr. X looked around the room and spoke in a low voice:
”Begin.”
Distance within four meters …… Klein didn’t rush to make a move, retracting his gaze and patiently watching several party members exchange the information of those with unusual luck for gold pounds, listening to Mr. X occasionally respond with a few words.
Time passed by, the focus of the party began to shift from Mr. X’s bounty to trading with each other, Klein no longer hesitates, with his left thumb pinched the first joint of the index finger twice, opened the “spiritual body line” vision.
An illusory black line appeared in front of his eyes, and they drilled out from different people, spreading to an infinite distance.
After a moment’s discernment, Klein covertly manipulated Mr. X’s “Spirit Thread”.
In his plan, there were two main difficulties in the mission, one of which was that Mr. X, who had the profession of “astrologer” in the front sequence, and the Aurora Society saint, who might be hiding in the dark, might have a premonition of danger and be keenly aware of any abnormality when he started to manipulate the corresponding “spiritual threads”. Mr. X’s psychic intuition is a good indicator that he is not aware of anything unusual.
For Mr. X’s spiritual intuition, Klein was quite sure, because when Ms. Sharon existed as a “ghost”, she was also unable to detect in advance the manipulation of her “spirit body thread” by the “Master of Secret Puppets”, Rossago. “But a half-god, half-human Saint, a high ranking powerhouse who has already obtained divinity, will not surprise Klein with any specialties, and his inspiration is touched by the changes in other people’s “spiritual threads”, which is also not surprising.
Other “Secret Puppet Masters” would probably be helpless in this regard, but Klein was different, he still had the identity of “The Fool”, and he also had the power of the mysterious space above the gray mist that he could borrow, and he was able to rely on the interference of the “Paper Angel” to eliminate the “Paper Angel’s” interference in advance. He can use the power of the mysterious space above the gray mist, and can rely on the interference of the “paper angel” in advance to eliminate hidden dangers.
The party proceeded without any abnormality, ten seconds passed in a flash, Klein was only three seconds away from initially controlling Mr. X, and the Aurora Club’s God’s Envoy was unaware of it, and was deeply surveying the conclusion of a deal, not knowing what he was thinking about.
At the critical moment, Klein stopped of his own accord!
Barely able to maintain his progress, he withdrew one of his hands, slipped it into the hidden pocket of his hooded robe, and touched the iron cigarette case that was sealed with a “spiritual wall”.
Crane then moved his finger and poked it lightly, removing the “spiritual wall” and allowing it to become a breeze inside the pocket of his robe.
He retracted his hand and waited a few seconds until Mr. X’s eyes looked the other way, then continued to manipulate the “psychic thread” downward.
Two seconds, one second, zero seconds!
Mr. X’s thoughts stagnated, as if someone had poured freshly mixed cement into him.
There is an enemy …… danger …… His slow thoughts turned, and he quickly made a decision, ready to his men, to the one secretly watching the alarm for help, and to make effective resistance.
Just then, a cloud of coldness burrowed into his body, causing his hands, feet, and mouth to no longer belong to him.
”The Blood Admiral” Seniol!
The spirit possessed him!
The “Secret Puppet Master’s” manipulation of the “Spirit Thread” had a number of flaws, the most problematic of which was the fact that once in the initial state of control, the target would immediately notice the problem and have the ability to take a variety of countermeasures.
If it was one-on-one and there was no one else around, Klein could naturally utilize the opponent’s increasing “delayed state” to interfere and interrupt the resistance more effectively, but if the target had other helpers, the “Secret Puppet Master’s” manipulation would be very difficult to hide from others, and there must be the environment or a companion to help in order to conceal the manipulation. There must be help from the environment or companions in order to carry out the operation covertly and without any trace.
In this regard, the “ghost” that can possess the target and forcefully control the other party’s behavior is simply the best assistant for the “Master of Secret Puppets”!
Just now, the reason why Kraven didn’t directly enter the initial control state was to take the time to release the “Spirit of Grievance”.
After passing the entrance check, the level of security in the living room where the party was held must have been relatively low!
Mr. X’s eyes widened slightly, his thoughts gradually slowed down, and the words that he wanted to shout out were firmly locked in his throat, sealed by his mouth, and completely disappeared into thin air.
And his hands, which he intended to raise directly, also slowed down and reached for the bone china teacup next to him.
This was completely against his will, all done by the gloomy breath that occupied every corner of his body!
Spiteful souls …… secret puppet masters …… can not …… go on like this …… will die without a word Mr. ……X immediately controlled his spirituality and outlined complex symbols and signs within his mind.
He wanted to open a “traveler’s door” or “portal” around his body, so that he could directly get out of the “Secret Puppet Master’s” manipulation range. Compared to this aspect, the possession of a ghost is relatively less dangerous!
However, in that slow and stagnant thought, the illusory symbols and logos were not presented in a single stroke, but rather in one stroke, one stop, one stop, one stop, one stop, one stop, one stop, one stop, one stop, one stop, one stop.
Seizing this opportunity, Mr. X’s possessed “Spirit” Seignior, under the manipulation of the “Secret Puppet Master” Klein, briefly moved Mr. X’s head and voluntarily changed his sitting position.
This behavior immediately interrupted the secret formation of the “Traveler’s Gate”!
Crap …… my …… reaction …… is too slow …… will be… …Spiteful Souls……interrupted……with……with……magical……items Mr. ……X’s eyes were vaguely a bit bloodshot, and the men around him were oblivious to the fact that even the one secretly watching this side of the room hadn’t noticed anything unusual.
As for the members of the party in the exchange and transaction, they even softened their tone and lowered their volume because of the change in his sitting position.
At this moment, although the sitting room was filled with people, although there were extraordinary people everywhere, all his helpers, Mr. X felt an extreme loneliness and helplessness.
He didn’t even know who was coming down on him and where exactly he was sitting!
Between thoughts that went by one by one, Mr. X regained control of his spirituality and let them extend out towards the ruby-studded gold ring he wore on the index finger of his left hand.
But the process from thought to decision, from decision to action was so long that it was like performing an inner drama in slow motion.
This gave Señor “The Grieving Spirit” enough time to raise Mr. X’s left palm, flex his fingers, and tap “himself” on the side of his forehead, which was not covered by the brass mask, as if he were thinking.
In the faint sound of “Atsushi”, the force of the blow was actually not small, but Señor, under the manipulation of Kraven, controlled it so well that the majority of the force penetrated into Mr. X’s head and did not dissipate, thus masking the movement.
Duh! Ats!
Mr. X’s thoughts of spreading spirituality were so disturbed that he briefly couldn’t find his way back to his thoughts.
By the time he recovered, the “Secret Puppet Master’s” manipulation had advanced even further, causing his thoughts to be confused and slowed down, making it difficult for him to even think or make decisions.
Coupled with the interference caused by the various hidden tricks the “Grieving Spirit” did with his body, Mr. X, despite his many extraordinary abilities and good magical items, inevitably slipped into the abyss of becoming a Secret Puppet step by step.
He watched as he walked towards death in slow motion, completely helpless to do anything about it.
Until then, he had never realized how terrifying and insurmountable the “Master of Puppets” and “Grieving Soul” were.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the hunt went on silently.
As Klein’s control deepened, Mr. X’s movements became more and more stiff and stagnant, but with the “Spirit of Grievance” making up for it, no one could see the problem at all.
To be precise, Mr. X’s actions no longer originated from the stagnant and rusty man, but from the “Spirit of Grievance” Seignior, which made it impossible for him to even show his despairing gaze.
Five minutes passed quickly in the midst of various deals or successes or failures or arguments or discussions, and Klein was just one step away from killing Mr. X and turning him into his own puppet.
However, he couldn’t do it.
Because his “Secret Puppet Master” magic potion hadn’t been digested yet, he could only control one puppet at the moment, and in order to transform Mr. X, he had to give up the “resentful spirit” Seignior.
Once he gives up, the long-dead “General of Blood” will immediately emerge and be discovered, bringing great trouble.
Similarly, if Klein didn’t give up the “Grieving Soul” secret puppet and killed Mr. X when he was no longer able to fight back, he would have to consider the Aurora Society saints that might be present in the shadows.
This was the second difficulty in his plan.
Controlling Mr. X silently and depriving him of his ability to resist was not difficult with the combination of the “Secret Puppet Master” and the “Spiteful Soul”, nor was it difficult to complete the kill, as Mr. X, in his current state, could be easily disposed of by Klein even with the use of air bullets.
What is difficult is how to get out of here safely after such an act.
And that required enough patience.
Time flowed gently under Klein’s seemingly calm but actually tense mental state, pretending that none of the things that appeared here were of interest to him and not speaking at all.
Finally, the party came to an end, and Mr. X said in an uncharacteristically low voice:
”The end.”
His words were terse, and exactly the same as the last closing, which Hugh had described to Voorhees.
One by one, the members of the party rose, and Klein blended in, unobtrusively, while he reached into a hidden pocket and opened the “Lemanor’s Travel Notes” by feel.
