Mysteries: Arcana Wars

Chapter 454: Mouse Mobilization

This was the first time Klein felt the power of [Wish], and it also strongly proved that his previous understanding and speculation were correct.

From the moment he put in the gold coins and made a wish, to the moment the wish actually came true, the power from the Mad God Alice continued to descend upon Klein during this time.

This is a grand performance that belongs only to Hermes.

It begins with a wish and ends with its realization. With the world as the stage and obsidian lenses as props, the story written by Klein with his wishes and featuring Hermes as the protagonist is performed.

During this period, the protagonist is the master of the entire performance. The obsidian, which is given [Destiny] by the protagonist, will serve as the most loyal prop and strive to complete the mission in the story within its ability.

Klein is a director, a screenwriter, and an actor.

His wish for the space station is the director's will; his interpretation of divination is the screenwriter's story; his various actions in the real world are the actor's interpretation of the role.

As long as you perfectly interpret the role of "Triple Great Hermes", you will be able to smoothly usher in the predetermined happy ending.

Accordingly, starting from the characteristics of the characters, as long as it conforms to the logic of the story, various powers can be defined using obsidian as a medium.

At first glance, this wish is so beautiful and perfect that it seems unrealistic.

But the most fatal point is that Alice is an Old God who has completely fallen into madness. Her power must be twisted and weird. This wish is actually full of dangers.

Whether the wish is successfully fulfilled depends on Klein's perfect performance.

In other words, Klein must absolutely believe in the script he wrote, immerse himself in the role of the protagonist, and accurately drive the plot forward.

Once he begins to waver in his role, doubt the plot he has written, and no longer believes in his own definition of the performance, then his wish will be realized in a distorted way.

At the very least, Klein would lose the temporary blessings and power he gained during the performance; at worst, no one could stop the outpost from taking off, nor could anyone prevent the tragic price it would bring.

The stage is set; everything depends solely on Klein's conviction and interpretation.

It's just... I can really believe...

Before he could think deeply, Klein's hesitation was suddenly interrupted by the contact of his hand.

The showers in the emergency center gradually stopped. Emlyn grabbed Klein's hand and pulled hard, finally standing up.

While Emlyn was changing his clothes, Klein and the other two began chatting with the patrolling Mechanical Heart team.

Leonard's reputation as a hard-boiled detective spread among these official investigators, and after verifying the citizen identification code, the mechanical hearts became open to Leonard.

The course of events was similar to Emlyn's statement.

A group of people claiming to be the child's family rushed into the hospital carrying a box. Inside the box was a little girl who had long since passed away. The inexperienced young doctor took the girl and the box and was successfully blackmailed by these people who were deliberately looking for trouble.

Things then got out of control. The conflict deteriorated instantly under the instigation of the "family members", quickly turning from verbal attacks into group fights, and then from medical disputes into terrorist attacks.

When the medical troublemakers pulled out their weapons, even the most dull-witted person could see that they had bad intentions. They were not simply trying to extort money, but were a group of organized and disciplined terrorists.

The rest of the story is pretty straightforward. The Heart receives the signal, rushes into the emergency room, and begins shooting until no one is left standing.

Emlyn quickly cleaned himself up and returned to the crime scene. He returned with a tablet.

"Thanks to the great modern technology, I found some clues."

He showed the screen to everyone.

"This thing is much better than divination!"

The church hospital's surveillance system faithfully captured the cultists' tracks.

After the fire attack of the Steam Church, most of the cultists died on the spot.

The remaining cultists fled in all directions.

Two of the cultists fled with the mini coffin containing the little girl.

The little girl who was originally dead seemed to come back to life all of a sudden, and was picked up by the believers, put into a coffin and carried away.

Klein's eyes suddenly widened. He impatiently zoomed in on the surveillance footage, staring at the familiar face in disbelief.

This is clearly the little girl who escaped from the body of Tianming Divine Envoy!

While on the island, Klein subconsciously chased after the little girl, but his resistance to the illusion had reached its limit and he was completely captured by the illusion, watching the little girl escape.

Now, she appeared again in the hospital of the Earth Church.

The little girl is like a ghost of the Ferris cult, appearing in various corners of the story in the form of different ages, from eight to ten years old, from the Bayam Casino to the Backlund Hospital. Wherever the innocent girl escapes, disaster follows her footsteps and befalls her.

Backlund's monitoring system and AI assistance had been baptized and blessed by the Church of Steam, and could withstand a certain level of extraordinary interference. However, facing the extraordinary power of the top figures, it was still somewhat insufficient.

As the Harvest Church is a key shelter for the Mother Goddess of Earth, the surveillance around it can still maintain a certain degree of reliability. The cultists in the video flashed intermittently on the screen, barely outlining their escape route.

Leonard used his authority to call in more surveillance from Severas Field.

After leaving the surveillance range of the Harvest Church, the cultists completely disappeared from the video.

It is obvious that these cultists are protected by an extremely powerful force, which is completely different from the level of protection they had on the island before.

This is aggression, this is a provocation, this is a charge.

This is the beginning of today's disaster.

If cultists pass by other churches, they may be captured by specially protected cameras. If they are not stupid, they will run around the church.

The clue ends here.

Where technology cannot reach, mystery fills the gap.

The Harvest Church was not far from the Hydrangea House where Klein lived. He used the housekeeping doll to change positions and perform divination in the sheltered apartment.

The result is not satisfactory. It can only give a vague direction but cannot get specific details.

The powerful force that protected the cultists once again interfered with Klein's divination.

Crane returned to the Harvest Church and shared the disappointing news, but he himself did not seem anxious at all. He took out a handful of tiny obsidian lenses from the wooden box of the wishing machine.

Practice has proven the significance of Obsidian in this performance, so now we should also believe that when we encounter difficulties, Obsidian, which is endowed with destiny, will point out a new direction for everyone with the support of faith.

Klein could only believe it, and he had to believe it.

"Emlyn, are there any small animals like birds or mice?"

"Rats? We don't have those in our hospital. They carry too many viruses."

Emlyn scratched his head.

"Can I have mice? They're just not as lively and active as wild mice. Or I can catch some for you outside the hospital."

"The same is true for birds."

"Forget it, I don't want any more guinea pigs."

Soon, some wild gray mice and birds came to Klein under Emlyn's control.

Thinking of these bacterial bombs running rampant in his clean hospital, Emlyn frowned and ruthlessly disinfected them before letting them into the hospital and coming to Klein's side.

"What are you going to do?"

"First, you must cancel the [Beast Taming] state."

Klein grabbed the small animals and strapped small obsidian lenses to them one by one. He then asked Emlyn and Leonard for positioning devices and attached them to the animals.

After waiting for all the equipment to be fully equipped, Klein gave an order and everyone released the small animals at the same time.

The freed birds and mice rushed outside and scattered. Leonard turned on the surveillance equipment. Although the animals moved erratically, their tracks did indeed trace a general direction across the city.

"Next, it's up to our little ones."

Of course, the premise is that I believe all this enough.
