This was a gamble, but it was also Victor's best chance to catch Donnie, so he put all his chips on it.
He first released Zoe from prison and arranged for her to follow him secretly and hide in a dark corner to wait.
That sneaky little figure is actually Zoe.
If the mystery notebook is a forgery, Downey will definitely be attacked by the Sphinx, and with his level of cunning, there is a high probability that he will use the thief's invisible skills to exchange himself with Victor and sacrifice him to
He turned into a sphinx in order to avoid this monster and enter the black door.
This was a fatal blow. If Zoe hadn't been called, Victor would probably have been torn apart by the monster's fangs at that moment.
But he is still alive, because his trump card is the clairvoyance ability that Downey doesn't know about!
When he discovered that Hodney was actually a seer, he had always been on guard against him, so he survived the Sphinx's attack.
In the process of calculating each other, the intelligence difference is a very important winning point.
The previous time, Victor could not have expected that the humble little sheriff in Walding Town would be a cunning "performer".
So this time, Donnie wouldn't have thought that Victor's "eyes in the sky" had already seen through him from head to toe.
After Donnie exchanged herself with Victor, Zoe immediately exchanged the flour bag prepared in advance with Victor.
In order to break the "thief's" restriction on the weight of exchanged items, Victor used a golem to open Zoe's "birth gate" in advance, enhancing her strength so that she could lift objects of the same weight as Victor.
And when he was squatting in front of the black door and waiting quietly, he was actually secretly controlling the devil to open Zoe's "birth door".
At this critical moment, Downey was overconfident in his ability as a "performer" and was not prepared for Victor's abnormal behavior, so he gradually fell into a trap.
After he confidently stepped into the black door, Victor was actually already out of danger, and the terrifying gatekeeper monster had a mouth full of fluffy flour.
Next, Victor has to deal with this thing. This is the real gamble.
Whether the personal doctor's message was a reminder from Stanford, Victor had to take a gamble, otherwise he would have no choice but to flee and miss the opportunity to strangle Donnie.
"It's a boring game, I don't want to play with you, go away!"
He refused to answer the riddle and made his attitude clear.
The riddle itself has no answer, it's just a bad idea of the Sphinx.
Therefore, when it found that its preferences were ruthlessly denied, it fell into confusion for a moment, gave up the attack, and huddled by the door to shut itself up.
The thing is so funny. Stanford is indeed the secret keeper who understands the mechanism of the Black Gate. He does not rely on the evil eye of Secret 2 to control the monster, as Downey guessed, but just relies on the stimulation of words to make this monster.
The monster fell into self-doubt and gave up the entrance to the Black Gate.
Downey's guess about the role of the Black Gate was completely wrong.
After discovering that the hint left by Stanford was indeed effective, Victor finally started to implement his plan, using the Taoist temple to record Donnie, and then dragged him into his dream to torture him.
…
The above is the full picture of this intrigue. Zoe, who plays a key role in this time, has been waiting for Victor outside the black door for a long time.
The latter still had his eyes closed and didn't know when he would wake up.
However, there was finally movement ahead, and the black door opened again!
Zoe didn't understand what the Black Gate was, but her sixth sense gave her a fear deep in her heart.
Some strange thick fog poured out from the door, and Zoe jumped back immediately when she felt the danger.
The dense fog contaminated Victor who was meditating and fell asleep. These mental pollutants in the secret residence did not affect him who had already achieved the Third Secret Transmission.
The next moment, something ran out from inside...
He was roaring, whining, speaking incoherently, going mad and losing consciousness, his eyes were bloodshot, and his hands and feet were twisted, as if he was in a fatal state.
"Ah~~! Ah~~!"
Zoe was frightened by the scene in front of her, but the other party rushed towards her very quickly.
"do not come!"
The girl screamed and was knocked to the ground by the guy before she could dodge.
Her birthright had been lifted long ago after Victor escaped from the monster's bloody mouth, and now she has no strength to break away from the madman in front of her.
The lunatic tore open his face with his hands, plucked out one of his eyeballs, and splashed blood on Zoe's face, scaring her mind and body almost to the point of going crazy.
With her lower body pinned down, Zoe was so anxious that she grabbed the demon doll that Victor left beside her. Her eyes could just see the exposed skull of the madman in front of her...
She didn't guess how the other person's face was torn off by her own hands, and directly exchanged Victor's puppet with the madman's skull...
Everything is quiet...
The madman's body fell down weakly, and a puppet made of secret magic crystal appeared on his head, crushing his brain.
After a few breaths, Victor finally woke up from his sleep and smelled the smell of blood when he opened his eyes.
He was suddenly shocked, thinking that the Sphinx acted again and ate Zoe!
That was Father Sang's daughter. If Victor killed her, he would not have peace of mind for the rest of his life.
However, when he found that the monster was still cowering by the door, depressed, he immediately realized something, and looked at Zoe, who was also cowering behind and covered in blood.
There was a corpse lying in front of Zoe. Half of the skull was still left on the corpse. The devil was deeply trapped in the dead man's brain, which looked extremely terrifying.
Victor judged from the dead man's clothes that he must be Donny Hopkins who escaped from the secret house.
The scene in front of me shows that this guy was killed by Zoe after he came out of the black door...
Victor took a deep breath and walked over to gently hold Zoe's shoulders, but the girl trembled and moved away.
She must have been mentally stimulated. Victor couldn't bear her palpitations, so he reached out and opened her door, causing her heart rate to slow down, and she quickly fell asleep.
Looking back at Donnie's body, a sense of fate arose in Victor's heart.
One of the culprits who killed Father Sang eventually died in the hands of Father Sang's daughter...
So in today's siege, everyone around Victor who was hurt by Downey, whether intentionally or unintentionally, took revenge on him!
In fact, even if Zoe doesn't take action, Downey, who has activated fear lethality, will still go crazy and die eventually.
But fate has to let Zoe make the final decision...
After carrying the girl aside, Victor went to pick up the demon doll that was stained with Donnie's brain, but before he could reach out, he found something falling out of Donnie's clothes.
Both files are made of biological skins.
Because half of the black door is made of secret magic crystal, things can be brought directly in and out of the secret residence.
Victor opened one of the leather scrolls and found that it was the mother copy of the "Declaration of Liberty."
In other words, this skin is the skin of Pan!
"Ouch!"
He looked around, secretly stuffed it into his pocket, and then turned over the second piece of skin.
Familiar ancient characters came into view, and Victor's expression suddenly changed.
The title that appeared on his head shocked him greatly.
"Shivers Lectures? Sermon Six?"
When he left the world of Ancient Olympia, the skinny man's last message appeared in Victor's mind in an instant - "Remember... the most important thing is the sixth chapter!"
