In the Baekeland Bridge area, Klein found the man who had been tempted by Trissy to help her "send and receive" the letter according to the location provided by Miss Messenger.
However, Klein didn't enter the apartment, nor did he disturb his target. He stuffed his hands into the pockets of his black trench coat and continued walking forward.
Under the illumination of the gas street lamps, he came to a crossroads and turned into another street.
During this process, inside a certain building, a rat that was stealing food suddenly trembled.
It then abandoned the piece of cheese and followed the usual "passageway" that it used to pass through, walking with its back facing Klein as it approached the target area.
Then, the rat opened its mouth in a hidden corner and let out a human voice.
"Blessed of the sea and spirit world, Protector of the Rorsted Archipelago, Ruler of the undersea creatures, Controller of tsunamis and storms, The Great Cavituis …"
Just as the rat finished speaking, Klein, who had already turned into another street, vanished. All that was left was a wisp of fire that quickly dissipated.
He had used Flaming Jump, but he wasn't using it to travel. Instead, he was entering a hotel room he had booked and rendezvous with one of his marionettes. Therefore, he wasn't too worried about being sensed by Zaratul and encountering an accident. After all, his target was clear, and the distance was very short. Furthermore, he had protection.
In the room, under the gaze of his marionette, Enuni, Klein took four steps counterclockwise and arrived above the gray fog.
As he sat at the end of the long bronze table, he drew the Sea God Scepter and used the prayer light to observe the target's situation through his true vision — the man who had helped Demoness Trissy relay the news.
A few minutes later, Reinette Tinekerr appeared in the apartment as promised. She took the gold coin and left the envelope on the table.
The man trembled in fear again, but he finally overcame his fear. He picked up the letter and weighed it in his hand.
Fifteen minutes later, he took out the black paste carefully, separated a small piece, and smeared it on the surface of the mirror.
Soon, he saw the girl in the dark mirror that occupied all of his sweet dreams. He quickly said, "You're not the only one.
He hurriedly said, "That crazy adventurer just sent a letter. It seems to contain something else. According to your instructions, I didn't open it."
At this moment, Klein, who was above the gray fog, began to see something magical.
In his eyes, the mirror itself had become blurry, closer to a dark and illusory channel. It was connected to similar objects in the surrounding area, forming a complicated and abstract 'spider web' that interweaved into a profound and strange 'World'.
With the gray fog's true vision, Klein could barely make out the general situation, but he was unable to distinguish the details. He didn't know that there were strange and terrifying creatures lurking inside The World.
In mysticism, mirrors are often given the symbolic meaning of leading to another 'kingdom.' Furthermore, they are often related to horror and horror … This is the World in the Mirror? My Beyonder powers don't involve this domain at all … That's not it either. If someone prays to me and attempts magic mirror divination, then The World in the Mirror will naturally have an illusory channel that points to me and the gray fog …
Strictly speaking, The World in the Mirror isn't the real World. It's closer to an amalgamation of 'doors.' It connects to different mirrors and different mysterious kingdoms. If one were to get lost inside, they might directly appear in the Abyss or even the cosmos … Of course, a demigod with such abilities should be able to create a reflection of The World and hide inside …
An amalgamation of 'doors' … Apart from Demonesses and Wraiths, High-Sequence Beyonders of the Apprentice pathway also have similar powers? Does the mystery of a Secrets Sorcerer represent the mirror world? This is sufficiently mysterious and secretive … Under normal circumstances, even with "true vision," there's no way to directly see the mirror world unless someone activates it … Klein nodded in thought as he heard Demoness Trissy reply in a sweet voice, "That's right, it's impossible for" Him "to see the mirror world.
He heard Demoness Trissy reply with a sweet voice, "Throw the letter into the mirror."
"Can you throw it in?" As a Low-Sequence Beyonder, the man had never seen such a magical thing. After a moment of hesitation, he held the letter and pressed it against the mirror.
On the surface of the mirror, the darkness suddenly spread out like ripples of aqueous light.
Just as the man felt the solid sensation lighten, he saw the letter magically penetrate the surface of the glass and enter the illusory interior.
Right on the heels of that, the letter seemed to be attracted by a massive vortex as it continued falling deep into the room where Trissy was.
Above the gray fog, Klein raised the Sea God Scepter and focused on tracking the letter in an attempt to lock onto the Demoness's location.
At this moment, in his true vision, the dark and deep World in the Mirror began to fluctuate violently, turning everything into a blur.
By the time the tremors calmed down, Klein had already lost track of the letter and Demoness Trissy.
The aura of the Primordial Demoness can actually interfere with such a gaze … After a moment of silence, Klein let out a sigh.
It was precisely because of Trissy's various oddities that he didn't take the risk of mixing his hair into the materials to locate her. It was very easy for him to suffer a terrifying curse, and he might even die on the spot.
To Klein, it didn't matter if he died suddenly. After all, as long as his corpse wasn't pulverized, he should be able to revive. However, that meant that he wouldn't be able to seize the opportunity to lock onto Trissy. She would definitely move quickly. Wouldn't that be equivalent to wasting a precious opportunity to revive?
Having suffered a setback, Klein quickly returned to the real World and left the Baekeland Bridge area.
…
The next morning, with an ordinary face, Klein rode a carriage to Saint Samuel Cathedral.
He planned on telling the Evernight Goddess about Demoness Trissy by chanting her honorific name and praying softly. When the time came, if anything were to happen on the night of the full moon, there would at least be a deity watching Baekeland and making preparations ahead of time.
Back then, the Evernight Goddess had exiled and sealed Mr. Door. "She" definitely knew the other party's tricks.
In such matters, Klein never flaunted his superiority. He knew himself very well.
Since he couldn't resolve the problem himself, he had to find someone who could!
As for why he didn't do it at home and insisted on coming to Saint Samuel Cathedral, it was because Klein wanted to observe the situation in Böklund Street and the surrounding area in passing. He wanted to find the minute traces of Amon's arrival.
Hazel and her family had once been embroiled with Amon, and she herself belonged to the Marauder pathway. Be it the intersection of fate or the convergence of characteristics, it made her a high-risk group for encountering Amon. Klein didn't dare to be negligent or careless about this. He reminded and arranged for himself to come every once in a while for a checkup.
Similarly, due to Miss Justice's subsequent treatment of Hazel's psychological trauma, it was very easy for her to be implicated if anything were to happen to Hazel. Therefore, Klein was also very worried about the noble lady's safety. He believed that it was necessary to use the crimson star to confirm her condition from time to time. Of course, he would avoid the more awkward times.
As his thoughts raced, Klein, who was approaching Phelps Street, got off the carriage ahead of time. He got his marionette, Enuni, to recite the honorific name of Sea God in a hidden spot.
He switched places with his marionette, Qonas. In a sealed space that he "distorted," he took four steps counterclockwise and entered above the gray fog.
Then, with the help of the Sea God Scepter's "true vision," he carefully observed the situation in Böklund Street and the Rouen Charity Bursary Foundation.
Hazel wasn't "Parasitized" … Miss Justice isn't either … Their maids, pets, and bodyguards aren't either … The residents of Böklund Street and the staff of the Charity Bursary Foundation aren't either … There aren't any signs of Amon's activities in any of the streets in this area … Klein heaved a sigh of relief and returned to the real World.
Following that, he approached Saint Samuel Cathedral, passed through the door, and found a seat in the dark and serene prayer hall to sit down.
After softly reciting the honorific name of the Evernight Goddess, Klein gave a simple description.
"… Demoness Trissy has obtained the hair of a descendant of the House of Abraham. She plans on contacting a certain hidden existence on the night of the full moon. Her exact goal cannot be determined …"
After sitting in silence for a while, seeing that the Goddess didn't respond and the archbishop didn't come out, Klein wore his silk top hat and slowly walked out of the cathedral.
At night, he changed locations and controlled a rat as his marionette. He recited another honorific name:
"The great God of War, the symbol of iron and blood, the ruler of chaos and strife, I wish to meet you …"
Just like before, the rat lost its life the moment it finished praying. Klein then distanced himself from it.
He wanted to meet the Red Angel and chat about Mr. Door and Dark Angel Sasrir.
After waiting for a few minutes, with the help of another rat marionette, Klein saw the previous one burst into flames, spewing out blinding white flames.
The flames quickly outlined a short sentence on the ground:
"I don't want to see you."
"…" The muscles on Klein's face twitched indiscernibly.
After some thought, he rationally gave up and left the area.
After dozens of seconds, the remaining blazing white flames formed new words:
"Beg me."
And at this moment, Klein had already left.
In a particular house in a certain area of Baekeland, the pale Sauron Einhorn Medici, who was wearing a black robe with red patterns, stood up from the sofa.
He frowned slightly and muttered to himself:
"Who's disturbing me …"
…
In the blink of an eye, Baekeland welcomed the night of the full moon.
In a room illuminated by crimson light, Demoness Trissy stood in an altar. Around her were rubies, sapphires, emeralds, diamonds, pearls, lapis lazuli, and other ritual materials.
After some complicated preparations, she lit the hair in her hand and placed it into the cauldron.
When the flames were dyed with a layer of darkness, Trissy took two steps back and chanted in Jotun with a solemn expression:
"The great Door of All Doors;
"The Guide of the Endless Cosmos;
"The key to all the mysterious World …"
