In the book's World, the moment Klein appeared in a remote area outside the city, he immediately took out the dark red soil from before and picked up a withered branch. He then used dowsing rod to search for the Tutanssess II mummy.
He was worried that the mummy known as the embodiment of a curse would harm the residents here. Although the book's World didn't lack Sequence 5 Beyonders, and the Tutanssess II mummy had lost the stimulation from Aztec's copper whistle, leaving it in a muddled state and lacking mobility, it was a demigod Beyonder when it was alive. The curse that its corpse produced after its death was definitely extraordinary. Even Klein himself wouldn't dare approach it if he didn't have the anti-curse golden bead that Miss Sharon had given him.
Of course, Klein had weighed the pros and cons before deciding to use Rosell's Travels to steal the Tutanssess II mummy. His previous experiences and the encounters of others proved one thing: When outsiders entered the book's World, they wouldn't directly appear in front of the locals. They had to explore to meet them, especially the first time!
Therefore, Klein believed that the Tutanssess II mummy had been moved to an uninhabited place. And in the zombie's state, there was a high chance that it would circle around the vicinity. It was difficult for it to independently explore in different directions like humans, elves, and giants.
This also meant that as long as he didn't waste too much time, there shouldn't be any losses. And from the moment Klein smeared the bloody mud onto the book's cover, only two to three minutes had passed.
Following the dowsing rod's direction, Klein flew towards a nearby mountain peak. Soon, he saw a valley.
At that moment, the Tutanssess II mummy that was wrapped in yellowish-brown cloth and stained with dark red liquid appeared. It wore a golden-patterned mask with colorful patterns!
It emitted an inhuman sound from its throat as it charged over, causing the surrounding air to darken.
At the same time, in the valley, a few mutilated animal corpses lifted the soil that covered them as they approached Klein with great difficulty.
Klein, who had his Spirit Body reinforced with Aztec's copper whistle, immediately scoffed.
"How passionate …"
He unhurriedly threw away the withered branch and picked up a dark mass.
This was the Soul Assurer Beyonder characteristic that he had released from the mutated Creeping Hunger. At the core was a pure point of light, and its entire body was like a night sky with stars.
The formless waves dispersed unsmoothly, and the surroundings suddenly darkened, as if it was midnight.
The feeling of tranquility and serenity descended along with the specks of starlight. The mutilated animal carcasses first became sluggish, then they fell down and returned to sleep.
The Tutanssess II mummy also slowed down. Its movements became slower and slower, but it didn't lie down again.
Directly using a Beyonder characteristic really isn't very effective. Furthermore, the negative effects aren't low … Klein couldn't help but raise his left hand to cover his mouth and yawn.
He then made Creeping Hunger turn pale and tainted it with a tinge of green. He directly used the powers of a Zombie to control the dead.
The stacking of the two Beyonder effects finally calmed down the Tutanssess II mummy.
With two black gems embedded in its eye sockets, it slowly walked to Klein's side and silently stood there like the most professional manservant.
Unfortunately, there's a curse … Klein immediately took out a golden bead that had the style of the ancient Highlands Kingdom from his Spirit Body. There were deep blueish-green patterns on it.
This came from Sharon, and it was specially prepared for the Tutanssess II mummy. It could effectively suppress and remove curses. Otherwise, why would this Wraith dare to target the Pharaoh mummy?
After fiddling with the golden bead, Klein made the Tutanssess II mummy open its mouth. Then, he stuffed the item into the mask's mouth.
In just two to three seconds, the surrounding darkness vanished.
After doing all of this, he took a step forward and possessed the Tutanssess II mummy in his Spirit Body state. Then, he didn't hesitate to end the summoning and return above the gray fog.
The mummy had already become a Zombie that belonged to him. Just like his marionette Señor, he could bring it out in such a manner. There was no need to forcefully store it in his body.
After a series of bestowments, the Tutanssess II mummy — a material rich in spirituality — returned to the real World and returned to his cheap hotel room.
After dealing with the corresponding traces, Klein reached out his right hand to grab the mummy's shoulder and "Teleport" it back to the two-bedroom apartment where Sharon and Marić were.
Looking at the slightly greasy yellowish-brown cloth and the dark red liquid on it, Klein silently retracted his right hand and switched to his gloved left palm.
After his left palm gripped the mummy's shoulder, it immediately turned transparent. Furthermore, this phenomenon quickly spread to his entire body.
With a flash, Klein returned to the room from before with the mummy.
He wasn't in a rush to open the door to present the outcome to Miss Sharon and Marić. Instead, he took out his golden pocket watch and opened it to take a look.
There's still 36 seconds to five minutes … Klein got the Tutanssess II mummy to pull out a chair as he leisurely sat down.
After waiting for a while, he finally heard a knock on the door.
"Come in," Klein replied with a smile as he controlled the Tutanssess II mummy to welcome the person.
The door squeaked open, and Sharon and Maric both saw a skinny figure who was wearing a gold-patterned mask and wrapped in yellowish-brown strips of cloth.
The black gems in the figure's eye sockets shimmered before it quickly lay down on the ground and assumed a pose.
"…" Instantly, Sharon and Marić were at a loss for words.
Klein, who had already used a wall of spirituality to isolate Aztec's copper whistle, removed his control over the zombie and smiled as he pointed at the mummy.
"What happens next is up to you."
And the play I directed has come to a successful end … Klein sighed inwardly as he silently experienced the "visible" rapid digestion of the potion.
This made him feel that perhaps he didn't need to wait until the end of the year. He could consider advancing to a demigod two months or even three months earlier.
Furthermore, with this digestion, the number of marionettes he could control had finally increased to two. The maximum distance he could reach was 200 meters. When facing an enemy with a Spirit Body of the same level, the time taken to gain initial control of the target and completely convert the target into a marionette was reduced to ten seconds and two and a half minutes respectively. The range was expanded to ten meters.
"He really succeeded …" Marić stared straight at the Tutanssess II mummy as he couldn't help but mutter softly.
He couldn't imagine how he had succeeded!
Sherlock Moriarty had successfully stolen the item that four demigods and two terrifying Sealed Artifacts were vying for!
Furthermore, this gentleman had been empty-handed!
Could it be that the mummy sent itself over?
Emotions were hidden in Sharron's blue eyes. She was calm as she observed the "target" this time attentively.
After confirming that it was indeed a Pharaoh mummy and that it was indeed Tutanssess II, she turned her gaze to Sherlock Moriarty, who was sitting cross-legged.
Sharon opened her mouth and closed it for a while.
"Thank you.
"I will send you the corresponding reward by mail."
"I wish you, um, all the best in the future," Klein replied sincerely.
Then, he sighed with emotion in his heart.
If Miss Sharon can successfully advance to Sequence 4, it means that I have an additional demigod-level helper! As the saying went in the foodie empire, one had to rely on one's parents at home and rely on one's friends when one was out. The more half-deity-level friends one had, of course, the better! We, the Tarot, want to have more friends and fewer enemies … However, it seems that my enemies are also increasing …
With this in mind, Klein exhorted him again.
"Be careful of being tracked down."
Too many of the Tutanssess II mummy's items had been left with the Rouen military. It was very easy for Beyonder means to lock onto it. As for Klein's Paper Angel interference, it could only last for a limited amount of time.
Of course, he believed that Miss Sharon and Marić were definitely prepared. Otherwise, they wouldn't have thought of stealing the Pharaoh mummy. Similarly, he also believed that they could handle the origins of the grayish-iron mask and the special fireworks.
If it were Dhaniz, he would most likely tell me that I've never thought of such matters … Klein made a comparison with a particular failed hunter.
Sharon nodded, indicating that she would take note of such matters. Then, she transformed the Tutanssess II mummy into her zombie and brought it into the spirit world.
"Thank you for your help." Marić, who was left in the room, exhaled as he restrained his surging emotions and bowed at Sherlock Moriarty.
Right on the heels of that, he left the room, removed his disguise, and blended into the bustling crowd in East Borough.
During this process, Klein, who was wearing a black suit and a half top hat, sat in his chair the entire time, silently watching them leave.
At some point in time, his figure had vanished as well.
…
In a room near Pritz Harbor.
A golden-eyed demigod from the Loen military pushed open the door and entered. He said to his companion, the lady in an evening gown, "Let's go.
"Nothing for the time being."
"That's very normal. If he didn't have a certain level of confidence, that mysterious person wouldn't have stolen the Tutanssess II mummy," the lady said in a deep voice. "However, we can expand the scope of the investigation. That fireworks, that mask, that attire, that provocative bow. We should be able to figure out something."
She was certain that the loss of the Tutanssess II mummy wasn't the handiwork of the two demigods from Rose School. If it were really their doing, there was no need for them to wait until such a dangerous situation. They nearly failed to escape.
The golden-eyed demigod nodded.
"Back then, I had a premonition that something would go wrong. Unfortunately, we didn't join forces with the Churches for this operation.
We didn't have enough manpower. "
He paused for a moment before asking, "Have you figured out what method that mysterious person used?"
The lady picked up the crown of thorns in front of her and stabbed the thorns into her neck. As blood flowed out, she shook her head.
"Perhaps, taking away the soil that contained the Tutanssess II mummy's bodily fluids was a ritual …
"This is a very cunning fellow who's good at deception!"
