The actual details may differ from what she guessed, but the difference should not be big.
Originally in history, the Doctor, as a corpse-stitcher, killed all the extraordinary people who participated in the war.
No one touched the taboo, so he was not in a hurry.
He himself is also an extraordinary person. He can smell those mysterious odors and follow the scent to find the way.
At this time, a large number of extraordinary people died and mysteriously scattered all over the world in search of remaining seeds to poison and pollute, which made it convenient for him to find them all.
He thought that this process would be foolproof, but he never expected that something unexpected would happen. Some of the people who should have been killed by him, such as 'Meng', 'Yuan', 'Tite-Ferrum'... escaped by chance.
These three are basically the strongest extraordinary people in the world. They are all level 5 and have been staying at level 5 for a long time.
If one of them is still alive, most of the dissipated mystery will be absorbed by him, and he will quickly break through that boundary.
Moreover, that person must have made sufficient preparations so that the Secret Keeper could not find him for the time being, and he was able to take advantage of the opportunity to bring in evil.
right……
Such a powerful family of secret keepers, who could force her to sacrifice everyone's blood to activate the ritual, and who were determined to stop it at the cost of cutting off her future missions... Hitzfeld could only think of those guys.
Only they have such great power.
They alone pose such a threat.
And she also knows the biggest difference between herself and the Doctor - her memories are not obtained through "sympathy".
She was not experiencing it from the Doctor's perspective, the person she was attached to was called Claire William, and the Doctor didn't even know that she had cracked the Necromancer's scroll.
So the information is completely asymmetric.
At least compared to the keeper of this time and space, she knew too many secrets... enough to turn the tide of the war.
"Well……"
Sista tried her best to withstand her gaze, but soon she covered her head and began to tremble.
She could feel a gaze sweeping towards her from within the hood, and that gaze seemed to be able to speak. The moment it was shrouded, countless complicated whispers rang out in the void, almost giving her a splitting headache.
Her five senses were completely disordered and malfunctioning at this time. She found that she could smell with her eyes, pronounce with her nostrils, and see with her mouth. Her senses were all confused.
Mouth… She opened her mouth and saw the skin on the back of her hand cracking.
A cluster of flesh and blood gathered at the crack, and soon, a white eyeball emerged from under the flesh and blood.
"Pfft!"
More cracking sounds were heard on her body, and her hair was changing... gradually becoming thicker and longer, and every strand of hair was filled with a fishy smell, just like the expanding batter in a frying pan that was breeding bubbles and then exploded into a bloody mist with a bang.
She felt like she was going crazy, but at the same time, there was a warm feeling that was healing her.
It was also contained in that gaze, which was very contradictory, just like the unity of light and shadow at this moment. Her abnormal symptoms quickly subsided and recovered under the soothing of this gaze, but the next moment her skin cracked again, and the whole person went through a cycle of "deformation" and "healing" over and over again, and she couldn't help but let out a sharp scream.
"enough!"
The Doctor reminded Hitzfeld.
"Don't look at people easily!"
Hitzfeld turned his eyes away, and Sista's wailing stopped.
Tite-Ferrum, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but twitch his lips.
I didn't do this at the beginning, was it because his mutation was more profound?
Or did she never...look at him straight in the eye?
He didn't take it seriously at first, but soon his expression twisted.
Because he heard the girl speak to Sista.
"Tell me about your leader."
“I wonder how he does it.”
"...was able to turn the King of Gluttony into his own clone 150 years ago."
Chapter 74 Maybe and But
Not only the two extraordinary people in the room were shocked by this sentence, but also Dr. Mechanical, who had been in a green mist state and was unnoticed by anyone except Hitzfeld.
He turned his head instantly, and approached the girl like a ghost, staring at her face and her eyes, trying to read her thoughts from them.
How did she guess…?
The Doctor didn't understand... You know, in the original history, he paid a huge price to learn this news. Some of his contacts in reality, people who couldn't be called friends but had a close enough relationship with him, died tragically because of this, and ultimately he couldn't save the manor from tragedy.
Logically speaking, she knew much more than Aisuen Hitzfeld did now. She didn't get much hint from him on this matter, so how could she guess directly that "the source" was the truth?
Hitzfeld glanced at him, his expression impassive.
This act was too sophisticated, and the doctor retreated little by little, and finally did not dare to scold the girl easily.
Of course, Hitzfeld wouldn't tell him that he was able to guess it thanks to his seal.
That seal... the [l] emblem at the end of the Necromancer's fragment.
No matter how forbidden or evil the knowledge contained in those pages, the presence of this seal means that it has been reviewed.
Combined with the warning Tite wrote at the end, it was easy for Hitzfeld to picture this in his mind:
The King of Gluttony could not escape his inevitable death, and the Corpse Stitcher could only let him live a few more days at most. He also had a premonition of this, and begged the other party to record this knowledge before killing him.
But here’s the thing: Hitzfeld had already seen “that knowledge” a while ago.
The knowledge and understanding of the "Human Desire" route, stages 1-5, are all written in another manuscript by Tit-Ferrum. Hitzfeld mastered this knowledge by reading it, so she was able to use the dead bone ice needle to cause a corpse explosion and turn Claire into a corpse doll.
But there is a crucial issue here - since she has already seen "that knowledge", which means that "that knowledge" already existed, then Tite should die without regrets.
Why did he leave behind a second manuscript, the Necromancer Fragments?
Some of the knowledge on the fragments is obviously beyond the scope of the 1-5 stage, so it is not the knowledge that can be understood at this stage! They should belong to the 6th level or above!
At least that's the way it should be!
So the situation is very clear... If even the vigilance of the corpse-stitcher is not enough to detect that this person has quietly transformed into the 6th level, then his body must be hiding a secret.
Combined with the fact that Tite's behavior in recent years was obviously different from when he was young (this is what Tite himself told Claire), he was too cautious and too mature, she had reason to suspect that when he was ambushed, it was someone else who was impersonating him.
Such methods were unheard of in the supernatural world of Earth, but she knew...Namiya was never short of people possessed by evil spirits.
As for the suspect...
Regardless of whether Tite was controlled by someone, the two different manuscripts at least proved that he had serious problems.
He is not as simple as he seems, which means that the Secret Keeper's movements towards the supernatural world have been discovered since the Doctor appeared.
They were watching every move of the doctor after he stepped out of the clock. They knew very well that the gathering three days later was a trap set by the Corpse Stitchers to wipe them out.
But they came anyway.
Everyone gathered... in a grand manner. All those who were slightly famous in the circle of extraordinary people in Western Europe and whose rank was above 3 were present, and none of them survived.
Their death will release the mysteries they contain, and these mysteries will then go to other extraordinary beings on Earth to be absorbed by them.
Who will benefit the most from this?
And after making a profit, they can set up fog to prevent the corpse-sewers from finding out?
Hitzfeld felt that it could only be... "Source", the leader of the Gate of Life who was the planner of this operation and had the power to mobilize these extraordinary beings.
He would definitely not be suspected at the beginning because in the original history, he was killed in that battle.
The doctor's attention would not be focused on this small shrimp. He could not imagine that the "Source" had clones hidden all over the earth. As long as he could not teleport to those places quickly, the "Source" could seize the time difference and absorb the dissipated mystery.
Then break through the levels, lead the taboos above level 6 to the lower world, and bring down the truly terrifying things.
This is a conspiracy.
It started 150 years ago.
Characters like Claire and Sista are just pawns. They need to make the connection between the Gate of Life and Farrell Palace appear obvious, and use it to convey the news that Tite is about to fall and upgrade.
In this way, others will feel the impending disaster and will be willing to be sent to die.
A very rigorous and ruthless plan.
At this stage, the Secret Keeper lineage is nothing more than a knife in the other party's hand.
"As expected, you are the dictatorial corpse-stitcher... I didn't expect you to see through you so easily."
After waiting for a while, he found that the cloaked girl was still staring at him motionlessly. Tite knew that he could not escape.
But he also didn't understand: "How did you find this out?"
Hitzfeld remained motionless, as if he simply disdained to communicate.
But he figured it out himself: "Is it...your sight?"
He saw it clearly just now. When Sista was stared at by her, he would be immersed in a continuous cycle of "distortion" and "recovery".
After all, Xista is an old 4th-level warrior and is very famous in the surrounding area.
Just a glance can turn her into this...
If she had tried to test me with her eyes and I hadn't changed, she would have guessed that I was already a believer of "Him"...
Because only equal mysteries can offset it, a mere 5th-level ghoul is like dust in front of this power.
She had already...
I was already doubting me at that time...
"But you're too late—"
Tite smiled instead.
"I have studied you. You can only move when... when the three hands of the clock coincide at 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, 9 o'clock, 12 o'clock... these four hours.
This means that as long as he can place enough clones outside, he can delay the situation for about 12 hours.
12 hours, 12 hours was enough for him to advance to level 6.
He is the only fifth-level transcendent in existence, and his efficiency in absorbing mysteries is faster than others!
So what if they can smell bad things?
As long as all of his parasites cannot be killed, this process cannot be stopped!
What are they talking about...
Sista sat on the ground, staring blankly at Tite talking, feeling like his brain was completely inadequate.
What clones... what four o'clock or something like that...
Why did she feel like the whole world was different after waking up from a good sleep?
"I have to say your plan is perfect."
Hitzfeld didn't seem panicked at all.
"How about this, Mr. Fareham? You can use your shrinking brain to think about it. Since I have already discovered that you have a problem, why should I help you kill people?"
Tite looked up sharply.
This was indeed something he didn't quite understand.
But it's actually not that hard to guess.
"You did it on purpose!?" he screamed, "You killed so many people on purpose in order to dissipate the mystery... You are forcing me to level up!!!"
"And your movements will be restricted when you level up," the girl helped him complete. "You are now nailed down and unable to move, just like the sheep in the sheepfold waiting to be slaughtered."
"You can't make it in time! You can't make it in time!"
Tite's face was completely distorted. The suture marks broke at this moment. A large mass of wriggling flesh and blood suddenly burst out from his left face. He swung these hyperplastic limbs and roared with a clenched fist: "You can't do it--!"
"You guys planned for 12 hours based on the assumption that there is only one Level 5 left, right?"
Hitzfeld picked up the manuscript from the side.
"But as you can see, Miss Siesta is still alive."
"she?"
Tite glanced at the woman fiercely, and his fierce eyes made Sista shrink his neck.
