Hazel felt a huge fear, and her whole body was unable to move because of this fear.
In the end, she relied on her own willpower to understand the current situation.
In this gathering of hermits of destiny, there must have been a disaster caused by a huge extraordinary event beyond her imagination. If she cannot control her body and consciousness, she may become like these people before long, and eventually... Like a puppet, she kept repeating what she had said and done. No one knew whether she could still be considered alive after becoming like that.
Therefore, what Hazel thought about was to escape. She had to escape from this space, escape from the extraordinary items that caused these effects or the area controlled by extraordinary people.
She turned her head left and right and looked around. Most of the people around her seemed to be caught in this situation, but a few people still retained their consciousness and even became very frightened.
Now not far away, those extraordinary people have gathered together to face this unknown danger.
Hazel also felt that she should move closer and mix with most of the normal people. Maybe she could use their extraordinary common sense to stay away from this area?
Just thinking about it, Hazel also discovered that there were some normal Beyonders approaching in that direction one after another, which made Hazel feel much more at ease.
However, just as she was taking steps in that direction, she suddenly saw an extraordinary person not far away winking at her.
That Extraordinary person should be recognized by herself. It was the Extraordinary person she helped before.
At the same time, Hazel also noticed that a number of other Extraordinaries gathered around that Extraordinary person.
Together, they seemed to be speaking with the same tone and expression as those being controlled around them.
At first glance, these people are all under control, but if you look closely, you will notice that although the expressions of these people are also very stiff, it seems to be a kind of simulation, a disguised stiffness.
As a young lady from a noble family, Hazel usually takes some etiquette classes.
Some of the courses seem to introduce how to distinguish the psychology of some people at a party. Although it is not as professional as a psychologist, it can at least tell whether a small number of people are hiding something in front of you, or whether they are hiding something. Are those etiquettes just performed?
In short, with such unprofessional psychological assistance, Hazel could still tell that those people were not really controlled by some mysterious force.
They just pretend that they are controlled by mysterious forces.
Hazel realized something. Perhaps the extraordinary events that happened at this gathering were led by someone.
In the platform world, she and her teachers had told her the possible causes of a small number of extraordinary events.
There should be two types of extraordinary out-of-control events in this world, one is extraordinary items going out of control, and the other is caused by extraordinary people.
If it's the latter, it would explain why these people disguise themselves so that they behave like everyone else around them.
Hazel's steps also became stiff, and then she slowly walked in that direction.
When you come around, when you are nearby.
Hazel also heard everyone's conversation.
"...Has the gathering of the Hermits of Destiny been invaded? Does the founder of the gathering have any solution?
Do we just get out of here, or do we keep things as they are?
I didn't feel like I was being attacked. "A man with a stiff expression said slowly.
Someone immediately retorted: “Absolutely not, who knows if the founder of the rally can solve this problem if we stay here?
I have to find a way to escape from here. It's not far from the gate. It only takes a few minutes to walk there. "
"But what if we are attacked on the way out? Does anyone know what kind of extraordinary ability this is?" Someone immediately put forward a different point of view.
"Perhaps it is the ability of the Secret Puppet Master. This is the ability possessed by the Extraordinaries of the Seer Path. However, it is impossible for the Secret Puppet Master to control so many Extraordinaries at the same time. Could it be that he is a demigod of the Seer Path?"
"It is also possible that it is not an extraordinary person, but an extraordinary item with unknown effects and side effects. If it is an extraordinary item, as long as we do not do unnecessary things, there is a high probability that we will not be attacked. On the contrary, if we walk around randomly, we may be directly attacked. control."
"Perhaps we can find someone to walk in front, so that if he is attacked, we can also discover the pattern of how that extraordinary item works."
Hazel couldn't say a word beside her.
Because she noticed that these extraordinary people were more calm than herself when facing dangerous extraordinary events happening around them.
At this time, Hazel noticed that the Extraordinary person carrying the gem of an Extraordinary item winked at her.
Hazel slowly approached and heard a voice saying in her ear: "If you want to continue living, leave now and leave directly in the direction of the passage. In the meantime, no matter what happens around you, don't look back. Don't pay attention to it, and don't go home immediately after leaving the gathering. Walk in the direction of the Church of the Night. Only when you get there will you be considered completely safe."
"Who are you?" Hazel asked, but the voice did not answer again.
Hazel thought of the topic discussed by the Extraordinaries before. Find someone to walk in front, so that if the other party is attacked, they will know the rules of how Extraordinary items work?
And if I leave like this obediently, will I become the person who tests the rules? !
Hazel hesitated for a while, but in the end, lacking most common sense in the extraordinary world, she still chose to believe this voice of unknown origin.
She started slowly and left towards the door.
Hazel's departure was not smooth sailing. She was often blocked by inexplicable people on the way, but those who blocked her would also be guided by inexplicable forces to fall down or turn in other directions.
Hazel had a hunch that she could not interact with these people, otherwise she would become like these people and be controlled by some kind of force.
"Master of the Secret Puppet..." Hazel didn't know what kind of extraordinary person the Master of the Secret Puppet was. He could control so many people and manipulate them like puppets. If she could leave this gathering, she must do it. Know who the Secret Puppet Master is.
But will Hazel's departure really go so smoothly this time?
And is the Extraordinary who attacked the entire gathering of Destiny Hermits really the so-called Secret Puppet Master?
Just when Hazel was about to finish all the journey and reach the exit gate.
A voice suddenly sounded.
"Hazel, where are you going? Why don't you join us?!" The voice was very familiar, and Hazel immediately recognized it. That was her teacher!
Wait, wasn't her teacher already controlled before? !
Hazel suddenly felt a huge shock.
…
Flora Jacob had already vaguely felt that something was wrong with her situation. His thinking seemed to have become sleepy and weak, his memory became blurred, and his thoughts became heavy.
He had somewhat forgotten what he was doing.
Starting from scratch, Flora continued to sort out her memory and consciousness. By the way, he was Flora Jacob, a descendant of the Jacob family, an extraordinary person of the demigod level and the thief path.
To mortals, he is like a real god, who can easily control and decide their life and death.
But recently he had to hide in the body of a mouse because there was a terrifying enemy outside that was chasing him. If he faced him head-on, he had no chance of winning.
What's that enemy's name?
It seems that I have forgotten something.
Why is the Jacob family lonely? Because in the Fourth Age, the ancestor of the Jacob family, the Archangel Jacob of Sequence One, died. If the other party had not died, the current Jacob family should be the most powerful on this continent. One of the powerful families.
Why did Jacob die?
Why did I end up in this situation today?
Flora felt that this was a very important clue, but he couldn't remember it.
By the way, who is this person in front of me?
Flora looked at Hazel, who had been calling her teacher, and recalled that this was her student. Of course, he didn't have any good intentions in accepting this student.
His purpose is to cultivate the other party and then seize the other party's body.
In a parasitic way.
By the way, parasitism!
Extraordinaries of the Thief path are also called parasites. They can use parasitism to seize the fate of others, and they can also obtain some new clones.
Doppelgänger...
By the way, that person's name seems to be Amon.
Amon is an angel in the parasitic path. He will parasitize all the extraordinary people in this path and turn them into his clones.
He also kept absconding to avoid Amon's pursuit.
Wait, why am I not so scared now when I mention the name Amon?
"So that's it, we are all Amon!" Flora smiled and put a monocle on her mouse's head.
It wasn't just him. Most of the people at the gathering suddenly showed weird smiles after being stuck for a while. They put on a monocle on their right eye, and even some things seemed to appear in the air. Stars twinkling.
"Hazel, where are you going? Why don't you join us?!" Flora Amon's voice sounded.
Hazel felt a huge shock, and she stammered: "Old, teacher, you're awake, are you kidding me?"
"I'm not your teacher. Of course, Hazel, if you want, you can continue to call me by my previous name, but you have to call me Flora Amon from now on!" Flora said.
The name Amon reminded Hazel of what those extraordinary people discussed during the previous gathering.
Moreover, his teacher was very frightened and afraid of Amon.
This must be a very evil and terrifying Beyonder!
"Hazel, don't be afraid, I won't kill you for the time being, because I want to figure something out.
Besides, Hazel, I am actually doing good things, you know?
Your teacher is not a good person. The potion he gave you is the potion of the Thief sequence, and the Beyonders of the Thief path are also called parasites.
Flora gave you the magic potion and taught you a lot of knowledge about the extraordinary world, in fact, in order to parasitize you one day in the future and use you to recover his injuries. "Flora Amon's words rang in Hazel's ears.
When Hazel heard the news and was mentally shocked, Amon would directly parasitize Hazel.
Although it is possible for Amon to directly steal Hazel's destiny, his bad taste is to regard ordinary mortals as his toys, so he still wants to know, when Hazel knows the news, what will happen to her? Will it collapse?
However, Hazel's spirit recovered quickly, and she recovered from the blow almost in the next second. Or maybe Hazel was not that surprised?
She used her badge to open the door to the gathering of the Hermits of Destiny, and then ran outside.
The next second, Hazel suddenly felt that her whole body could no longer move. She seemed to have lost the ability to move, and even her extraordinary abilities could not be used.
Then turning around, Hazel returned to the gathering site step by step.
Here, Hazel is about to see a scene she will never forget.
At this time, there were almost no people in the gathering who could maintain their spiritual consciousness. The others all held hands and formed a circle with weird smiles on their faces. Although each of them looked different and wore different clothes. , but their expressions, that stiff smile, their eyes staring straight into the center of the circle.
The most important thing is the monocle on the right eye.
It directly gave Hazel an illusion, as if these people were all the same person, otherwise they were the same person, they were all - Amon!
In the center of the circle, the Extraordinaries who were still awake at this time all gathered together.
As extraordinary people who participate in the Hermits of Destiny, they may not know much about other things, but when they see these people wearing monocles, none of them understand that they have screwed up Amon!
Everyone present was very pessimistic. What could be more tragic than being caught by Amon?
That means being caught by a group of Amon!
It is not that everyone present tried to escape. Several extraordinary people tried to use their extraordinary abilities or items to escape from here before. However, once those people left this small area, their fate was immediately stolen by Amon and they were directly killed. Parasitized.
In turn, he happily took out his monocle and put it on, and then laughed and held hands with other Amon.
Everyone present knew that either Amon did not attack them directly, as long as they had no idea of escape.
Either there is something or extraordinary items here that can help them resist Amon's theft!
Some people speculate that it is most likely the latter. Maybe there are some extraordinary items that can prohibit theft here? (End of chapter)
