Extraordinary Puppet Master

(I'm very sorry, the previous chapter was uploaded incorrectly)

"..I'm really sorry, Karin, you have to live alone from now on."

".For me, you have already taken a break from school for half a year. You are more talented than me and you should not waste your time on me."

"Don't be sad, you are my pride. I have never seen a child as sensible as you."

After reading the first sentence, the sadness on Carlin's face became more intense, but the next content made his eyes widen.

"Actually, there is one thing that I have been hesitating to tell you. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally felt that you should make your own choice."

".I am actually a transcendent. The "Red Breathing Technique" is, as you guessed, a incomplete secret biography. I deliberately erased the content involving the transcendent."

"I know that you have been searching for extraordinary information intentionally or unintentionally these years. In fact, extraordinary beings are not as beautiful as you imagined, but are accompanied by great dangers."

"But it wasn't until my death that I felt that I was too selfish. You are a very independent child, and you should be allowed to make your own choices."

".I have left a promotion ceremony for you. With your talent, you will definitely succeed. Unfortunately, I cannot be your enlightenment mentor, but don't worry."

"After you become a transcendent, if you have something you don't understand, you can ask Priest Kahn for advice. With his guidance, you won't encounter many obstacles before reaching the professional level."

".I'm so sorry, my child, and wish you good luck."

After reading the entire suicide note, Karin's tears finally flowed uncontrollably.

"Old guy, why did you just leave like that!"

"Why, why don't you let me become a transcendent earlier, maybe I can cure your disease!"

"You are as selfish as me!"

At this moment, Carlin felt extremely remorseful and regretted that he did not tell Westmin about the capabilities of the virtual kingdom of God.

He could feel that his virtual kingdom only had the most basic functions. After becoming a transcendent, some changes would definitely occur. Maybe there would be a way to release the divine power to help Westmin recover.

But it's too late to say anything now.

A sad atmosphere filled the dark bedroom. Karin stood blankly for a long time before wiping away his tears and opening a booklet on the desk.

What is recorded in the booklet is a blood refining ceremony, which is the missing part of the "Red Breathing Method".

After reading the booklet, Karin felt complicated.

Unexpectedly, the transcendence he has been pursuing for so many years is actually beside him. Westmin has prepared everything, and Carlin can start the ceremony to become a transcendent at any time.

Sighing and putting down the book in his hand, Karin walked to the bed, rolled up the carpet on the floor and set it aside. A metallic light reflected in the room.

I saw an ultra-thin metal plate in the area covered by the carpet, and the surface showed lines like those carved by a knife.

The width of each line seemed to be consistent and very precise. Carlin tried to observe it with the naked eye, but could not find any error at all.

These lines follow a certain pattern and form a circle with a diameter of three meters.

This is what Westmin calls the Blood Refining Array. It is smelted from unknown metals and extraordinary materials into an ultra-thin metal plate, with a mysterious gold coin in the center embedded in a circular groove that appears to fit perfectly.

Carlin looked at the blood refining circle for a while, but did not activate it immediately. Instead, he covered the carpet again. There was no rush to promote to the extraordinary. He would first deal with the matter of Westmin's body.

Half an hour later.

Dong dong dong——

A knock on the door woke up the silent Carlin. After Carlin walked out of Westmin's bedroom, a spiral staircase faced him. There was another door not far from the corridor, which was his bedroom.

Because the angle of the light made this section of the stairs unusually dark and depressing, Karin did not turn on the gas light in the stairwell and stepped directly, blending his body into the darkness.

His expression remained unchanged during the entire process, as if he was born to adapt to this dark environment.

But soon, the light from the first floor hit his body.

Although it was noon, the light in the foyer was still very dim, making people feel increasingly depressed.

After Carlin opened the door, the cold and numb expressions of two middle-aged men in black coats perfectly blended into the depressing environment of the foyer.

"Karin Hawkins?"

"Yes."

The exchange was very brief. After the two men only confirmed their identities, Carlin led them to the bedroom on the second floor.

Throughout the entire process, Carlin did not have any conversation with the two of them. After seeing Westmin's body, the two put on gloves to confirm, and then handed Carlin a body transfer document.

"Please sign."

After Carlin saw that the relevant official seals were complete, he picked up a pen and signed his name and handed it to the other party. Then he got another form, which was some information assigned to the Westminster Tomb.

It is up to him to decide whether to hold a funeral or not. Four days later, Westmin will be buried with or without a funeral.

Carlin sent the two people out of the door and watched Westmin's body being put into the coffin on the carriage.

After a cry, the two men from the cemetery management office drove away in a carriage.

call--

After doing all this, Carlin closed the curtains, turned off the gas light in the foyer, and returned to Westminster's bedroom on the second floor to prepare for the ceremony to become a transcendent. The foyer on the first floor fell into silence.

Standing in the center of the magic circle, Carlin took out a very clean syringe, inserted the needle hole into the vein on the back of his hand and drew a tube of blood.

The lines of the blood refining array are very shallow and do not require much blood. They fill up the lines of the metal plate in a short time.

The content in the booklet records that blood only serves as a medium for the magic circle to connect oneself with the magic circle. The spiritual gold provides sufficient spirituality for the magic circle to operate and sublimate one's own spirituality.

With a serious look on his face, Karin recited an unfamiliar mantra. This language was a Tyran language he took as an elective in school, and its pronunciation and intonation were abnormally standard.

".Worship the blood sacrifice to invite the Holy One to return."

After the mantra was recited, there was no wind in the bedroom, blowing the booklet on the desk and making a "swishing" sound of turning pages.

The golden and red array emitted a faint shimmer, and gradually the red light became more and more dazzling, converging towards the center as if it was alive.

Finally, it condensed into a scarlet flame and then immediately spread out to form a hazy haze of light.

Upon seeing this, Karin immediately took a gentle breath, and all the red mist was easily inhaled into his body like a tired bird returning to the forest.

In an instant, his body reacted, first with numbness and itch, and then with severe pain, as if a steel needle had been roughly inserted into his blood vessels and flowed.

The pain made Carlin drenched in cold sweat, but it was within his tolerance.

The entire ritual requires breaking up and reassembling Carlin's body, which will cause some pain. If the will is weak and cannot bear it and falls, not only will the ritual be wasted, but life will be in danger.

As the invisible steel needle circulated in the body, the pain soon spread throughout the body and reached its peak. Suddenly, Karin's vision went dark, all the pain disappeared, and his soul came directly to the virtual kingdom of God.

At this time, he was watching like a third party as his body turned into a solid human-shaped blood mist and gradually began to reorganize. The external situation was clearly visible in his eyes, but the pain in his body completely disappeared.

Compared to before, there have been some changes in the Kingdom of God.

The gray-white lake remained unchanged, but the land in the center began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye, and an illusory bronze door appeared on the bare land.

"It seems that the virtual kingdom of God can not only help me isolate myself from pain, but also unlock new functions after I am promoted to extraordinary."

Karin looked at his reorganizing body and recalled the contents in the booklet. The entire ceremony took about ten to twenty minutes to complete.

He tried to consume 1 unit of rarefied divine power again, and immediately received feedback from the virtual divine kingdom that he could complete the ritual instantly by using 109 units of rarefied divine power.

However, Karin did not use his divine power to speed up the progress of the ceremony, but waited quietly.

Squeak——

Suddenly, the sound of the door opening made Karin's heart skip a beat and he became nervous.

"Who is it that broke into the house right now?"
