The Lord Of The Mysteries

Chapter 72's

The face of the wooden doll was painted red and yellow like a clown in general. The corner of his mouth held high, revealing an abnormally funny smile.

Her lips opened to reveal a dark and deep mouth. Klein, who had locked his gaze with it, felt his hair stand up as intense horror leaped out of his heart in an uncontrollable manner.

Everything before his eyes became dull, as if he was looking at the world through a piece of thick brown glass.

Klein's mind slowed down gradually, and he instinctively wanted to ask for help, but his neck was like being tied with a rope. He could not make a single sound, and that one word was caught in silence.

Just then, Dunn realized her arm training had become sluggish and pushed her hard.

The brown glass before Klein's eyes broke in an instant. He spouted the word "help" that was still lying in his throat. It echoed within the carriage, with a sharp panic.

"That's getting stronger," Klein spoke in a very definite tone.

Being next to a strange Closed Artifact like 2-049 was truly in dire danger if they were not careful. No, it's absolutely impossible to take care of him. It can only be avoided through other methods!

“Customly,” said Aiur Harson steadily while nodding.

Lorotta chuckles.

"Sounds like you? Don'worry. This was a Class 2 Sealed Artifact that was relatively less dangerous."

With his naturally lethargic voice, the puppet whose joints clearly reflected a standing human. It began to wobble toward his left.

Its action is incomprehensible, like a steam engine rusting due to a lack of lubricating oil.

The dance robot .. Klein suddenly had a few Chinese words popping into his head. He has a new guess about the 2-049 danger posed.

It assimilates the living beings it controls?

If I hadn't been woken up in time by the others, would I have been a human-sized doll, a real-life Barbie doll?

As thoughts flood Klein, Aiur Harson is awakened by Dunn. He stretched out and bent his hand as he pointed towards the puppet walking slowly. He said to Leonard who was riding the carriage, "There!"

Leonard couldn't get the train through the building, so he had to turn. During the detour, 2-049 constantly adjusts the direction it is facing. It acted like a compass pointing towards the Antigonus family.

Upon seeing the scene, Klein, who was constantly "training" his arm, almost laughed out loud under the tension.

I heard that 2-049 was created by the Antigonus family..Is this an act of loyalty or a perfect example to mess things up?

Leonard drove the train according to the occasional instruction of Aiur Harson.

Every time a strange doll 2-049 walks to the edge of the carriage, Aiur Harson will pull it back and start all over again.

Every time that happened, his mouth would open and two people would be under his influence simultaneously.

Klein's tense feeling gradually began to relax. He realized that Sealed Artifacts 2-049 were no longer terrifying. As long as there are more than three people present and they constantly maintain the movement of their arms, if they make sure to wake their partner on time, 2-049 is just a doll with slightly unique characteristics.

The train drove at high speed, and quickly arrived at the port, where the warehouse had gathered.

After circling around a few times, they made sure that 2-049 intended to enter the innermost warehouse in grayish-white. Aiur Harson's expression turned serious. He grabbed the doll carefully and put it back into the black coffin.

Thumping! Thumping! Thumping!

Under the constant ferocious beat, Aiur woke up again and again with the help of Borgia and Lorotta as he activated the mechanism with great difficulty. He then injected his spirituality and activated a star and red symbol on the chest.

As the formless seal reappeared, Aiur Harson let out a long and heavy sigh.

"Let's go down" Dunn Smith said in a low and gentle voice. "Leonard, tying a horse here is enough."

Wearing a jacket, suit, or shirt, the six left the carriage and walked to the deepest warehouse. As they walk, they uniformly stretch and bend their arms.

It adds a funny and silly vibe to a rather tense situation.

The Canggung Nighthawk Dance Force could only complain inwardly to ease such feelings.

However, there is no other way. According to his observations, the first 2-049 affect the upper body. Therefore, in order to detect it in time to prevent the development of more dangerous situations, they only have the option of stretching and bending their arms, shaking their neck or body. However, the latter only makes one look like a hooligan.

As for actions such as winking and hitting one's eyebrows, they were either too easily ignored or the actions were too great. Both are not good choices.

This team of awkward dancers are better than the members of the Causeway Bay 1 triad. Klein sighed resignedly and followed Captain Dunn Smith and his comrades.

As they approached the barn door, it deepened his anxiety and worry.

No one knew what effect the notebook had on Ray Bieber!

If something terrible were to happen, Klein did not dare to pin down his hopes of transmigrating again.

Furthermore, he discovered that he could still be injured and bleed while cutting materials for dinner. The speed at which he recovered was also normal. He was not some kind of monster immune to battle or death.

As they walked, Dunn suddenly lowered her immobile hand and made an urgent motion to signal everyone to stop ten meters from the door of the warehouse.

"Klein, God if there's any danger in the barn. It would be better if you could figure out the level of danger," Dunn said as she turned to Klein.

His gray eyes looked deep as usual; there was no fear.

Klein gave a not-so-obtrusive nod and stopped the hand exercises. He extended his right hand to his left cuff and released a silver chain that had a piece of topaz stone hanging.

While he was still moving his hand, Dunn realized his slow action in time and woke him up with a push.

When topaz stabilized, he half closed his eyes, deciphered the light of the ball, and entered Cogitation. He then muttered, "There's danger in the warehouse."

"There's danger in the barn."

…

After seven times, he opened his eyes and saw the hanging topaz stone slowly rotating clockwise.

It spun faster and faster, and in the end, Klein felt like he was pulling his left hand.

"There is danger, great danger" Klein replied honestly.

Clockwise means affirmation of the statement being chanted, while counterclockwise means denial.

For other Beyonders, even a Mystery Pryer, using spirit dowsing can only determine if there is a danger, but cannot obtain information regarding the level of danger.

However, Klein discovered that when he used spirit dowsing, the pendulum would rotate at different speeds, revealing the rate of his answer.

Although it was not very accurate and very vague, it allowed one to have a rough assessment of the actual situation.

As expected of the Seer potion.Klein was rather pleased with the results.

Just as he was about to get rid of the topaz pendulum, Leonard Mitchell, who had maintained his silence, suddenly spoke.

"Divine if there's danger around us too."

Dunn agreed. "Yes, I'm worried that the Secret Order won't give up and has put Ray Bieber's house under constant surveillance. They could have followed us here and caused trouble at a critical moment."

Klein took a deep breath and entered a calm and refined state once again.

When the silver chain became stable once again, he recited in his heart, "There is danger around us."

…

"There's danger all around us."

…

After repeating the statement, Klein opened his eyes and looked at the silver chain.

In his dark brown eyes, the topaz pendulum first moved counterclockwise with great difficulty. Then, it suddenly stopped and started moving clockwise.

"There's danger all around us." Klein felt a tug in his heart as he spoke carefully.

Furthermore, someone had tried to intercept his prophecy, but lost to him in an unseen fight!

As he spoke, an orange-yellow fireball the size of a fist flew towards them.

It came crashing into the middle of the group with its incredible speed.

Dunn Smith, who had pulled her long barrel revolver before Klein did his divination, immediately raised her hand, aimed, and pulled the trigger.

Bang out!

The fireball did not seem to be affected by the shot but continued its original trajectory, as if forcing everyone to scatter in order not to dodge.

Klein initially thought nothing of the troublemakers following them. After all, there were six Beyonders present. They were not even lacking in the experts of Order 8 and Order 7. It was a practically unstoppable lineup in a small town like Tingen.

But when the fireball fell, he suddenly realized.

To them, the most dangerous enemy was not the tracker or troublemaker, not even Ray Bieber who was in the warehouse in an unknown state, but the Closed Artifact 2-049!

Once they dispersed and the battle began, they would not be able to wake each other up in time. Then, they would turn into real-life puppets one after another!

As these chaotic thoughts bombarded him, Klein was pulled by Leonard to the side to avoid the fireball.

With no time to feel down for her clothes, she saw the Nighthawks split into two groups while dodging. It was done in a very orderly manner.

Poof!

The orange-yellow fireball landed on the ground but did not stir even the slightest bit of dust. It disappeared as if nothing had happened.

The illusion? As this thought came to his mind, Klein saw Aiur Harson lifting the black chest and throwing it ten meters away.

"So far! Watch out!" shouted Aiur.

Before he finished his shout, Leonard and Borgia separately approached him. They stood at least seven meters from the chest to prevent anyone from approaching.

As for Dunn and Lorotta, they each held weapons. They stood beside Aiur Harson who had drawn a thin silver sword. They took out a crescent-like formation as they rushed towards the origin of the fireball, while paying attention to the peripheral area.

Upon seeing this scene, Klein, who needed to do his stickless arm training, immediately heaved a sigh of relief. He realized that he had ignored an important matter.

2-049 has a limited range of influence. As long as they were at a sufficient distance from it, they would not have to worry about danger.

Klein rolled over and stood up. He stuffed his top pendulum into his pocket with one hand while he reached into his gun holster with the other.

A location in Hong Kong.
