It's really the spirit world … Klein was delighted as he silently muttered to himself.
Without any further confirmation, his spirituality and spiritual perception told him that this was the real spirit world!
And this meant that he had returned to the real World, a place with all sorts of delicious food.
I nearly burst into tears … Klein gave a self-deprecating remark inwardly as he considered the problem of where he should go next.
From the position of the stars, moon, and Sun, it's still early in the morning. If there's no time difference between the real World and the foggy town, it's at most half-past seven. It might not even be yet. At this point in time, the servants will definitely discover that a companion is missing, but they might not inform the priests and bishops in a timely manner.
Even if they have received the corresponding training and will report it to their superiors according to procedure, they will have to eliminate the possibility that someone is slacking off or having diarrhea. They won't be able to come up with a definite conclusion without more than ten minutes to take effective action.
And after the report is made, the priests and bishops definitely won't be able to tell the severity of the problem immediately. They will only believe that a servant has escaped, and they won't be able to quickly link this matter to the Keepers. By the time they discover the truth through divination and search, it will take twenty to thirty minutes.
That is to say, there's a high chance that they haven't begun searching the surroundings for the infiltrator. Dawn Dantès's identity as a tycoon hasn't been exposed.
Yes, if the Bizarro Sorcerer potion formula given by Zaratul is correct, then the identity of Dawn Dantès is still worth making use of. Under the premise that I can preserve it, I should try my best not to give it up.
Besides, among the items I'm wearing, only my gloves and underwear are real. If I go elsewhere like that, it's like I'm a pervert …
Klein had already made up his mind. He took out the iron cigar case that appeared to be in his pocket, but it was actually pinned to an elastic belt. He opened it and took out the gold coin inside.
"Returning to 160 Böklund Street is dangerous." Klein muttered seven times as he flicked out the gold coin. He watched as it slowly floated in the spirit world, going up and down, left and right before finally landing in his palm.
This time, the side with the number written on it was facing up, indicating a negative answer!
Klein nodded indiscernibly and immediately shuttled toward Baekeland.
After three rounds, his figure appeared inside 160 Böklund Street. The curtains were tightly shut and the lights were dim. It looked very suitable for sleeping.
On the bed, Dawn Dantès was lying on his back, his hands reaching out from the gap near his neck, grabbing the edge of the quilt.
From the looks of it, they haven't investigated me yet … This form is so awkward … Klein secretly heaved a sigh of relief as he watched Dawn Dantès's figure rapidly dissipate and degenerate into a palm-sized mirror.
Water rippled on the surface of the mirror. Silver light rose and condensed into Rouen characters one after another.
"Great Supreme Master, what happened to you? Your humble and loyal servant, Arrodes, actually couldn't sense you previously! "
"Nothing," Klein replied perfunctorily.
This allowed him to confirm something. It was that Arrodes was unable to pry into the foggy town. After all, this fellow could even present the environment where Zaratul was when he lost control.
Is it really related to the authority of a deity? Klein's thoughts raced as he asked, "No one came looking for me, right?"
"No, no one came to disturb you."
"No, no one came to disturb you." On the surface of the mirror, the silver wriggled and evolved into new words.
Klein was truly relieved as he said to Arrodes, "You can go back now.
I'll summon you again if there's anything. "
"Alright, Master. Goodbye, Master ~" Just like before, Arrodes drew a simple drawing of a hand waving on the mirror's surface to match the words.
After the aqueous glow dissipated and the mirror returned to normal, Klein walked to the bed, took out the sleeping robe hidden under the blanket, and wore it.
Then, he rummaged through the candles and other items, entered the bathroom, and set up a sacrificial ritual. He planned on moving Creeping Hunger, Azik's copper whistle, the iron cigar case, and all sorts of mysticism materials above the gray fog, so as to avoid any investigations that might follow.
After doing all of this, Klein didn't delay for a moment. He sat in The Fool's seat and conjured the Bizarro Sorcerer potion formula in front of him.
"Sequence 4: Bizarro Sorcerer.
"Main ingredients: Bizarro Bane's main eye, Spirit World Plunderer's true soul.
"Supplementary ingredients: 200 milliliters of Bizarro Bane's blood, 30 grams of Spirit World Plunderer's dust, 10 grams of Red-haired Birch bark, a segment of golden grapevine, a self-made rubber mask the size of a finger.
"Advancement ritual: Mainly rely on one's own strength and planning. Under the eyes of an audience, direct a grand play to murder a demigod or a Beyonder creature of the same level. Then, consume the potion at the end of the play."
Klein didn't have the time to think about what the ritual represented. He wrote the corresponding sentence under the potion formula.
Following that, he summoned a spirit pendulum from the junk pile, held it in his left hand, and began a divination.
Before long, Klein opened his eyes and saw the topaz pendant spinning clockwise.
This meant that the Bizarro Sorcerer potion formula in his hand was correct!
Phew … Klein exhaled as he confirmed the changes that had happened to Creeping Hunger and what negative effects it had.
After a dream divination and a few direct attempts, he figured out the exact situation in less than two minutes.
Creeping Hunger can now Graze seven souls. Every Grazing will allow it to obtain two to three Beyonder powers. One of them can be decided by the wearer.
Now, there are a total of eight souls in Creeping Hunger. The rest have completely dissipated due to the mutation brought about by the Attendant of Mysteries. And due to the excessive number of souls, it results in a "compression," causing a portion of the powers to be unusable. One needs to be released to return to normal.
Currently, of the eight souls, one is Baron of Corruption, also known as Wormtongue Misol. He has fused with the Beyonder characteristic of the same pathway that Mr. A Grazed. Apart from Distortion and Bribe — Weaken, he has an additional area-of-effect Beyonder power named Corrosion. It can make the hearts of people within ten meters turn dark and greedy, making it easy for them to make irrational choices.
The second is Desire Apostle Kircheis. He has fused with a Devil from Mr. A's side, and with Danger Foresight, a Beyonder power that needs to be activated ahead of time and constantly maintained in the present state of the soul, he has replaced Sulfur Fireball. As for Language of Foulness — Slow and Sword of Magma, they have also received a certain enhancement.
The third is Traveler, Mr. X Louis Wien. He has fused with Mr. A's Scribe. While retaining Traveling and Door Opening, he has obtained the Beyonder power of Record. However, there are some anomalies. It can't be used to record ordinary Beyonder powers, and it can only be used against demigod-level targets. Its recording success rate has increased. Although it's still troublesome, as long as one's luck isn't too bad, it can be completed in about eight tries. In addition, the number of demigod-level Beyonder powers it records doesn't exceed two, and none of them are higher than Sequence 3.
The fourth is Zombie Maveti. There aren't any changes. It's still the original Zombie Powers, Control of Ice, and Zombie Controlling.
The fifth is an unknown Demoness of Affliction. She can give the user a rather powerful charm. She can also adjust one's appearance to a certain extent. In addition, she can provide a "disease" that can cover nearly 50 meters. Creatures within this range will slowly be infected, and the effects will only worsen. In the beginning, it might just be a skin allergy, a cold, or a fever. Twenty to thirty seconds later, it might turn into a serious illness like pneumonia. After two to three minutes, it might lead to a heart attack or cerebral infarction.
The sixth is an unknown Wind-blessed. It has three Beyonder powers — Short-Distance Flight, Deep Diving, and Water Control.
The seventh is an unknown Soul Assurer. It has two Beyonder powers — Forcefully pulling people into a dream and putting Spirit Bodies to sleep.
The eighth is an unknown Doctor. It has three Beyonder powers — Discern the Timing, Treat Maladies, and Stitch the Soul.
At the same time, Creeping Hunger itself has Hiding in the Shadows and Flesh Bomb. Furthermore, it has the chance and strength to barely Graze a Sequence 4 saint.
It's much stronger all of a sudden … While Klein was secretly gratified, he frowned at the negative effects.
Now, Creeping Hunger had to eat a living person every day; otherwise, it would devour the wearer. In addition, it would praise the True Creator from time to time in the wearer's mind, causing chaos in their thoughts and pain in their heads. Apart from these two problems, it was also afraid of mushrooms. If mushrooms appeared within five meters of it, it wouldn't be able to use any of its powers.
Randomly praising the True Creator is very troublesome. It's the same for eating a living person every day … I'll first throw it above the gray fog and let it calm down for a few days to see if there are any changes. If it really doesn't work, I can only write to Mr. Aztec … Klein quickly made a decision and didn't hesitate to release the Soul Assurer's soul.
As for the Wind-blessed and Doctor, he planned on gradually replacing them in the future. The Demoness of Affliction would depend on the situation.
To the side of the long bronze table, the Soul Assurer's soul appeared. However, due to the mutation, it was no longer able to maintain itself after losing its possession. It quickly dissipated completely.
His Beyonder characteristic appeared as it was entirely black in color. At its core, there was a pure light shimmering, like a night sky dotted with stars.
After doing this, Klein didn't delay any further. He threw Creeping Hunger and the other items onto the junk pile and quickly returned to the real World. He ended the ritual and cleaned up the traces.
Following that, he washed his face and brushed his teeth as usual, allowing Dawn Dantès to become more spirited.
After leaving the bathroom, Klein, who was wearing his pajamas, walked to the door with his usual expression. He opened the door and said to his valet, Richardson, who was waiting outside.
He opened the door and said to his valet, Richardson, who was waiting outside, "Help me prepare a set of clothes suitable for staying at home."
"Yes, sir." Richardson didn't ask why as he immediately walked to the cloakroom beside him.
Only at this moment, as he looked at his servant's back, did Klein truly feel like he had escaped from an adventure and returned to normal life.
