Who? Who's speaking? Klein's muscles stiffened as his eyelids nearly opened.
At that moment, cold sweat seeped out of his back, drenching his shirt.
What he was most alarmed about wasn't the voice's words, but why it could directly resound in his heart. Furthermore, it was identical to his unaltered voice.
Although I managed to maintain my lucidity in that dream, my Spirit Body was still corrupted by the other party's uncontrollable psyche? Or could it be that someone is using the Keeper from before to pass a message to me? Countless guesses quickly flashed through Klein's mind. Combined with the contents of the voice and his own situation, he made a preliminary judgment.
There are very few people who know of my identity as Klein Moretti. It's the same for those who know that Klein Moretti had made an oath by touching a Holy Artifact. Furthermore, there's almost no interaction between the two parties.
Mr. Aztec has heard me mention the latter matter, but if he wants to warn me, he can just get the messenger to pass the message. There's no need to use such a terrifying method … Will Auceptin might know. After all, "He" is the Snake of Mercury that represents fate. But by the same logic, "He" can directly contact me … Of course, I can't eliminate the possibility of "He" suddenly wanting to scare me. I just thought about it in the afternoon. Perhaps I have a chance of being "His" godfather …
The Antigonus family's notebook corrupts a Keeper, just like how it used the Misfortune Cloth Puppet to transmit the symbol previously? But if it's the case, why didn't it directly give me the potion formula? Or perhaps we can discuss a plan to help each other break out of the notebook … Saint Samuel Cathedral is the headquarters of the Baekeland diocese. It's on a higher level than Saint Selena Cathedral, so the notebook shouldn't have the ability to do anything else. It must be tightly sealed …
Apart from them, there's only one person who knows about both matters at the same time — the Evernight Goddess. However, with a deity's pride, "She" has no need to pretend to be a passerby and use a polite and distant tone to address me … I'm in Saint Samuel Cathedral. All "She" needs to do is issue a revelation and dozens of Beyonders will come out to take me down. And as the diocese's headquarters, with sufficient preparations, there's a high chance of interfering with Traveling. Therefore, there's no need to go through so much trouble …
Yes, there's another person who knows about those two matters …
This is who I am!
Before planning the operation, I had actually considered the corresponding problems. Back then, the conclusion I came up with was that I didn't need to worry too much. This is because, after advancing to Faceless, the gray fog has some of its powers enter the real World, allowing me to be sensed by specific demigods. Before this, only Beyonders of the Monster pathway could sense some of the peculiarities. And when I made contact with the holy sword and made the oath, I had just become a Clown …
Even though the secret connection established by the oath made the Goddess slowly realize that there was something wrong with me, I haven't seen "Her" take any action despite all this time … That female angel of the Church, yes, it should be an angel. After wiping out Mr. A, she even smiled at me … Therefore, the Goddess might be happy to see me take away the Antigonus family's notebook. Although I don't know the goal, at my present level, all I can do is accept it and think of a way to deal with it later. It's definitely safer than climbing the main peak of the Hornacis mountain range … Of course, the premise is that the lady who wiped out Mr. A is really an angel of the Church …
Hmm … Although I've already recognized my true self through all sorts of acting at the Faceless stage, I haven't completely digested the many potions I've consumed. As for a Marionettist's request to give every marionette a persona that matches their characteristics, this can similarly easily lead to a split personality … Also, in order to steal the Antigonus family's notebook and act as Dawn Dantès, I'm under immense pressure. My subconscious has a strong tendency to waver and have doubts … Under such a state, the mental corruption of the Keeper who lost control stimulated my Spirit Body, causing me to split a personality?
Just as Klein thought of this, the familiar yet unfamiliar voice resounded in his mind once again.
"Heh, your thoughts are too idealistic. All your actions are based on luck. If the high-ranking deacon, Crestet Cesimir, who wields the holy sword, were to come to Baekeland to handle other Beyonder cases, can you guarantee that the holy sword wouldn't sense you when you are in the same cathedral? You are connected by contract! "
When Deacon Cesimir comes, I'll give up on this plan … Besides, it's not like I can't avoid it ahead of time. I can find a reason or an excuse to head out for a period of time to investigate … Klein instinctively mumbled inwardly.
Then, he heard the voice that belonged to him say in his mind:
"There are too many unexpected and unpredictable situations.
"Before coming to the cathedral today, didn't you never expect that just observing the Spirit Body Threads would result in an anomaly?"
Back then, I was nervous because I was worried that there would be unexpected changes. However, as it's only observation and not direct contact with the other party, I didn't think there would be too many problems. I just need to be more careful in the future … Besides, there are accidents and changes in everything … Who are you? Klein closed his eyes as though he was focused on praying.
The voice hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm Klein.
"I'm Klein, and you're Zhou Mingrui.
"No, I'm Zhou Mingrui. You're Klein …"
Indeed … Klein felt his hair stand on end once again. He decided to immediately leave Saint Samuel Cathedral and return home to resolve the problem of his split personality.
When the symptoms first appeared, things were relatively easy to deal with. Once his personality stabilized and became stronger, and he began to seize control of his body, he might need external help!
He opened his eyes and said to Bishop Elektra with a calm expression, "I feel like I've calmed down.
I feel much better after suffering from mental illness … As he spoke, Klein gave a self-deprecating comment.
He liked to lampoon inwardly. On the one hand, it was because of his personality, and on the other hand, it was to emphasize himself. He wanted to remember himself and not immerse himself in acting.
He liked to complain in his heart. On one hand, it was because of his own personality, and on the other hand, it was to emphasize himself, to always remember himself, and not to immerse himself in acting.
Bishop Elektra smiled.
"The Goddess is protecting you."
As he spoke, he took a glass of water from a priest and passed it to Dawn Dantès.
Needless to explain, Klein knew that this was holy water. He had drunk it before, so he hid his worry, took the cup, and drank it in one gulp.
The cool feeling flowed down his throat, making Klein feel refreshed. He seemed to have sobered up a lot, and even the voice in his head weakened.
This has the effect of pacifying a Spirit Body … The Church still places quite a lot of importance on Dawn Dantès. Of course, this is due to their Beyonders … As Klein nodded at Bishop Elektra and drew the crimson moon on his chest, he calmly walked to the altar and donated fifty pounds to the donation box.
After doing all of this, he left the cathedral with his valet, Richardson, and took a carriage back to Böklund Street.
During this process, he didn't feed the pigeons again. This was because an ordinary person wouldn't be in the mood to do such a thing after what he had just encountered.
After returning home, the silent Klein used his afternoon break as an excuse to send the others away. He then took four steps counterclockwise in the master bedroom's bathroom and went above the gray fog.
Penetrating the roars and ravings, he didn't sense any signs of his body being purified. He was increasingly certain that the voice in his head came from him, a secondary persona that had been stimulated by corruption.
Sitting in The Fool's high-back chair, Klein immediately examined his Spirit Body's state and discovered that there were indeed signs of chaos. It wasn't pure, and the corresponding aura's colors were slightly mottled.
After careful consideration for two minutes, ignoring the reverberating noise in his head, Klein conjured The World, German Sparrow, and made him pray piously.
"Honorable Mr. Fool … Please tell The Moon that I wish to rent the Mental Terror Candle for half a day. I know he has the means to obtain it …"
In the very beginning, the identity of The World was prepared for Sherlock Moriarty; therefore, Klein wasn't worried.
…
South of the Bridge, inside the Harvest Church.
Emlyn White, who was looking forward to his Lilith's Ring at night, suddenly saw the endless gray fog and heard The World's words.
He muttered in abnormally astonishment:
How does he know that I can obtain the Mental Terror Candle?
