841 Keeping Each Other in Check (2/2)

Klein immediately made his marionette curl his lips and say,

”I'm afraid.

”But I still have other means of escape. I'll take the risk.”

Panatiya took two steps in an irritated manner before finally saying, ”We shall do it as agreed then.”

After making up her mind, her smile became extremely relaxed.

”You really are a special man, a man that made me see hope. After we leave, I don't mind letting you experience what extreme pleasure is if you aren't afraid.”

”Gehrman Sparrow” shifted his gaze away with great effort before looking at Mr. A.

”I have no more questions.”

With the sound of howling wind, Mr. A flew down and landed not far from ”Gehrman Sparrow.”

His figure, along with his ”clothes,” rapidly melted away, turning into a sticky glob of flesh and blood.

Right on the heels of that, the flesh and blood piled onto one another and kept compressing into a ”tiny stream” that had the thickness of an arm. Then, it flowed towards ”Gehrman Sparrow.”

Far away in a building, Klein felt somewhat disgusted as he retched. Then, he made ”Gehrman Sparrow” open his mouth.

The ”flesh and blood” stream climbed up the marionette's body and drilled into its mouth. The slightly warm but slippery feeling passed through the gullet and entered the stomach.

It's heavy… However, Mr. A's flesh and blood is helping to hold up the stomach, preventing it from sagging too much… Klein inspected the marionette and made him look up at the shrouded crimson moon and say to Panatiya, ”Let's begin.”

”Alright.” Panatiya, who could hardly withstand her urges, impatiently walked towards the cathedral's entrance.

Klein made ”Gehrman Sparrow” follow by her side and first plucked off his hair before making two meat tendrils grow out from his arm before ripping it out. It made blood gush out.

If someone very familiar with me were here, they would definitely notice a problem because I can't deal harm to my own body so decisively… Hmm, perhaps in the eyes of others, the crazy adventurer, Gehrman Sparrow, can probably do such a deed easily… As Klein noticed a problem and gained experience from his conclusion, he made the marionette pass through the ajar main door of the ancient cathedral. He then handed the hair and flesh to Panatiya.

Panatiya slowed down her pace as she took out an ugly, palm-sized puppet and wiped the flesh over it and tied the hair around its thin neck.

She held the cursed puppet in one hand and finally stepped through the cathedral's door. Klein immediately got ”Gehrman Sparrow” to control their Spirit Body Threads. As for Mr. A, as he had overlapped with the marionette, it wasn't too much of a hassle.

Hmm, even I can do it. With the powers showcased by Zaratul, ”He” totally has the capability to help Beyonders that are not from the Seer pathway to resolve the loss of control over Spirit Body Threads in the cathedral. This way, as long as ”He” wants the Demoness of Despair to enter, ”He” could've opened the door a long time ago… Why didn't ”He” do it? ”He” is unable to communicate with others beyond the cathedral? That's why Seer pathway Beyonders who aren't Marionettists or higher can't walk to ”Him”? Klein used his marionette's senses to analyze the situation remotely.

And inside the cathedral, the corpses remained dangling in midair. Their heads were bowed and their eyes were rolled back. From time to time, they would sway with the wind, producing the ravings ”Hornacis… Flegrea…”

When Panatiya saw this scene, her body instantly stiffened, but she quickly composed herself. Together with ”Gehrman Sparrow,” they walked under the ”gazes” of the hanged.

Before long, they saw the pitch-black altar and the statue of the ancient god's descendant.

Zaratul remained sitting diagonally behind the statue, wearing a hood and sporting a white beard.

When ”Gehrman Sparrow” and Panatiya approached, ”He” slowly lifted his head and chuckled.

”Very good. Beyonders from the Seer pathway need to know how to use their brain and not always think of fighting.”

”He” seemed to have foreseen that all of the paper figurines of ”Gehrman Sparrow” would be destroyed. ”He” directly reached out ”His” wrinkled palm and grasped at something. ”His” grab pulled out a yellowish-brown goatskin and a quill filled with ink and a bottle of ink.

This made Panatiya involuntarily twitch her brows.

Zaratul picked up the quill and scribbled words and symbols before rolling it up and handing it to ”Gehrman Sparrow.”

”That's the door-opening symbol, as well as the Bizarro Sorcerer potion formula you want.

”They can only last for forty-five minutes and cannot be taken out.”

Klein avoided the Demoness of Despair and unfolded the goatskin, allowing the potion formula and the door-opening symbol to appear before his eyes.

Suddenly, his pupils constricted and nearly froze.

The door-opening symbol and the symbol provided by the Antigonus family's notebook via the Misfortune Cloth Puppet were mostly the same. It was a vertical eye made up of many mysterious labels!

However, there were tiny differences in the details. A crescent pattern had switched spots with a dotted-line label!
