Part 4: The Undead Chapter 151: A Demigod’s Appraisal
In the world of the book, Klein had just surfaced in a remote place outside the city, and immediately took out the remnants of the dark red soil from earlier, picked up a dead branch, and used the “Divining Staff Technique” to search for the mummy of Tutansis II.
He was worried that the mummy known as the incarnation of the curse would harm the inhabitants of this place – although the world of the book does not lack Sequence 5 quasi powerhouses, and the Tutansis II mummy lost the stimulation of the Aztec Copper Whistle, and was in a state of tranquility, lacking mobility, but it was a half-god, half-human extraordinary person in its lifetime, and the curse that the corpse derived after its death was definitely not ordinary, even Klein himself, was not a good person, and he was a good person. ordinary, even Klein himself, without the curse-proof gold beads given by Ms. Sharon, did not quite dare to approach.
Of course, Klein also weighed before deciding to use “Grocer’s Travels” to steal the mummy of Tutansis II, his previous several experiences and other people’s encounters proved one thing: when an outsider enters the world in the book, he will not appear directly in front of the local residents, he has to explore in order to meet them, and this is especially true for the first time!
Therefore, Klein believed that the Tutansis II mummy should have been made to some uninhabited place, and in this living corpse’s state, the probability was that it would be circling around the neighborhood, making it difficult for it to autonomously explore in different directions like humans, elves, and giants.
That is to say, as long as the time does not drag on too long, it should not cause any damage, and counting from the time when Klein smeared the blood-containing sludge to the cover of the travel journal, only two or three minutes had passed.
Following the direction pointed out by the “Divining Staff”, Klein rushed towards a nearby mountain peak in a flying posture, and soon he saw a valley.
At that moment, the mummy of Tutansis II, which was wrapped in yellowish-brown cloth, stained with dark red liquid, and wearing a mask with colorful patterns on a gold background, appeared!
It let out a voice in its throat that did not sound like a human, and rushed over with great strides, and the air around it then became dim.
At the same time, throughout the valley, several mutilated animal corpses lifted the dirt covering themselves and moved with difficulty to lean towards Klein.
Klein, who was reinforcing his spirit body with the Aztec Copper Whistle, let out a “heh”:
”How enthusiastic ……”
Unperturbed, he dropped the dead branch and picked up a deep black mass.
This was the extraordinary characteristic of the “Requiemist” he had released from the mutated version of the “Creeping Hunger”, with pure points of light at its core, the whole resembling a night screen adorned with stars.
The invisible fluctuations spread out in a not-so-smooth manner, and the surrounding area darkened as if it had suddenly arrived in the middle of the night.
A feeling of peace and tranquility descended along with the dots of starlight, and the mutilated animal corpses first froze, then collapsed, returning to their slumber.
The Tutansis II mummy also slowed down, moving more and more slowly, but never laying down again.
”Directly using extraordinary characteristics really can’t play too well, and the negative impact is not low ……” Klein couldn’t help but raise his left hand, cover his mouth, and yawn.
He then made his “Creeping Hunger” pale, tinted with a bit of green, and directly used his “Living Corpse” ability to manipulate the opposite side of the dead.
The combination of the two extraordinary effects finally quieted the mummy of Tutansis II.
With two black jewels set in its eye sockets, it slowly came to Klein’s side, serving him silently as if he were the most professional manservant.
”Unfortunately there is a curse ……,” Klein immediately took out from within his spirit body a gold bead very much in the style of the ancient Highland kingdoms, with more than a deep blue-green pattern.
This is from Sharon, specially prepared for the Tutansis II mummy, can effectively suppress and eliminate the curse, otherwise, how would this “ghost” lady dare to hit the idea of the pharaoh’s mummy?
After playing with the golden beads, Klein let Tutansis II mummy open her mouth, and then stuffed the item through the gap of the mask.
It was a matter of two or three seconds, and the dimness around him disappeared.
After doing so, he stepped forward and possessed the Tutansis II mummy in the form of a spirit, then without hesitation, he ended the summoning and returned above the gray mist.
–The mummy had become his living corpse, and could be brought out in this way, like the “secret puppet” Seniol before, without being forced to be contained in his body.
After some bestowal, the mummy of Tutansis II, a material rich in spirituality, returned to the real world, back to the cheap hotel room.
Klein dealt with the corresponding traces, and reached out his right hand, about to grab the mummy’s shoulders, and took it to “teleport” back to the two-bedroom house where Sharon and Maric were.
After looking at the slightly oily yellow-brown cloth and the dark red liquid on it, Klein silently retracted his right hand and used his gloved left palm instead.
Immediately after his left palm cupped the mummy’s shoulder, it became transparent and spread this tendency to the entire body in a rapid manner.
In just one flash, Klein returned to the same room as before with the mummy.
He didn’t rush to open the door to present the results to Ms. Sharon and Maric, but instead pulled out his gold-cased pocket watch and pressed it open to take a look.
”Thirty-six seconds to five minutes ……,” Klein said as he let the mummy of Tutansis II pull out a chair and leisurely sat down himself.
After waiting a while, he finally heard a knock on the door.
”Come in.” Klein responded with a smile while maneuvering the Tutansis II mummy to welcome him.
The door to the room opened with a creak, and a dry and thin figure wearing a colorful patterned mask on a gold background and wrapped in tawny cloth reflected in Sharon and Maric’s eyes at the same time.
The black jewel in the figure’s eye sockets flickered for a moment, then numbly slumped to the floor and assumed a pose.
”……” For a moment, Sharon and Maric didn’t know what to say.
Klein, who had already isolated the Aztec Copper Whistle with the Wall of Spirituality, released his control over the corpse and pointed at the lying mummy with a smile:
”Next is your business.”
And the drama I directed came to a successful conclusion …… Klein sighed in his heart, quietly experiencing the intuitively “visible” magic potion quickly digested.
This made him feel that perhaps he didn’t have to wait until the end of the year, and that two or even three months in advance, he would be able to consider the issue of ascending to Demigod and Demi-Human.
Moreover, with the help of this digestion, the number of secret puppets he could manipulate was finally raised to two, the limit distance could reach 200 meters, and when facing an enemy whose spiritual strength was at the same level, the time for initially controlling the target and completely transforming the other party into a puppet was shortened to 10 seconds and two and a half minutes respectively, and the range was expanded to 10 meters.
”Really, it worked ……,” Marich looked at the Tutansis II mummy with a glazed gaze, and could hardly contain his whispered voice.
He was completely unable to imagine how this could work!
Sherlock Moriarty had actually managed to steal away the thing they were fighting over in front of the four demigods, along with two terrifying seals!
Moreover, this gentleman had just been empty-handed!
Could it be that this mummy had sent himself over by himself?
Sharon’s azure eyes were deep in emotion, calm, and focused on her “target” this time.
After confirming that it was indeed the Pharaoh’s mummy, and that it was indeed Tutansis II, her eyes shifted to Sherlock Moriarty, who was sitting on stilted feet.
Her lips parted lightly and closed for a moment before Sharon spoke:
”Thank you.
”I’ll pay you accordingly by sending a letter.”
”I wish you, uh, all the best after you guys.” Crane responded heartily.
He whirled around and voicelessly lamented a few times:
If Ms. Sharon can successfully advance to Sequence 4, that would mean that I have an additional helper at the Demigod level! As the saying goes in the Big Eater Empire, relying on your parents at home and relying on your friends when you go out, the more friends at the Demigod level, the better of course! Our Tarot Society is to develop more friends and make fewer enemies …… However, it seems that my enemies are constantly increasing ……
Thinking of this, Klein admonished again:
”Beware of recourse.”
–The Tutansis II mummy had too many items left behind on the Rune military side to be easily targeted by extraordinary means, and Klein’s “paper angel” interference could last for a rather limited time.
Of course, he believed that Ms. Sharon and Marich must have been prepared, or else they would not have thought of stealing the pharaoh’s mummy, and similarly, he also believed that the other party could deal with the problem of the origin of the gray iron mask and special fireworks.
If it was Danez, most likely he would have said to me, I didn t think about these things …… Klein made a comparison to a certain failed hunter.
Sharon nodded and said she’d keep an eye on that aspect of things, then transformed the Tutansis II mummy into her own living corpse and took it into the spirit world with her.
”Thank you for your help.” Remaining in the room, Maric exhaled, collected the various emotions that were swirling around him, and bowed to Sherlock Moriarty.
Immediately afterward, he exited the room, removed his disguise, and blended into the waves of people coming and going in the Eastern District.
Throughout this process, Klein, dressed in black formal attire and a half-height bowler hat, remained seated in his chair, silently watching them leave.
At some point, his figure disappeared as well.
……
Inside a room near Puzzle Harbor.
The Rune Military Demigod wearing a mask with golden eyes pushed in the door and said to his companion, the lady in the evening gown:
”No luck for now.”
”That’s normal, that mysterious person wouldn’t have come to steal the mummy of Tutansis II if he didn’t have some certainty.” Ms. Evening Gown said in a deep voice, “However, we can broaden the scope of our investigation, that firework, that mask, that outfit, that provocative curtsy, we should all be able to find out something.”
She was certain that the loss of Tutansis II’s mummy wasn’t the work of the two demigods of the Rose School; if it was truly their tactic, there was no need to drag it out until they were in such a dangerous position that they almost didn’t get away with it.
The golden-eyed demigod nodded and said:
”I had a premonition that something was going to go wrong at that time, but unfortunately, this operation didn’t unite the churches, and the manpower wasn’t too sufficient.”
He paused for a moment and turned to ask:
”Did you figure out what method that mysterious person used?”
Ms. Evening Gown picked up the crown of thorns in front of her and inserted the spikes on it into her neck, shaking her head as blood flowed out:
”Perhaps the taking of the clay containing the bodily fluids of the mummy of Tutansis II was a ritual ……
”This is a very cunning fellow who excels in deception!”
