Chapter 626: True and False Klein

"Qonas Kilger, Deputy Director of MI9, is the military demigod who protected the Mad Captain from human trafficking near Bayam. However, I cannot confirm this completely. I will find an opportunity to meet him in person.

"I have received your invitation. I will attend the appointment on Saturday, but it may conflict with the Hanged Man's actions. I can discuss with him to adjust the time then.

"The matter of the Man in the Mirror has come to an end. I will wait for Lord Cecima, the 'Sword of the Goddess,' to return to Backlund and ask him if he can lend me the Antigonus Notes. You can also continue your actions and prepare for both scenarios..."

After writing down everything he wanted to tell Klein in the letter, Angel picked up the harmonica that Klein had temporarily given him on the table and played it silently. Soon, he saw in his spiritual vision the messenger lady carrying his four heads from the spiritual world to the real world.

She honestly handed over a gold coin and the letter, and waited until she took it in her mouth before saying:

"To Gehrman Sparrow."

Now that Klein had more and more "code names", Angel was worried from time to time that she would get confused, such as calling him Klein at the Tarot Club, or greeting German in front of the bishop at St. Samuel's Church. Fortunately, as a Beyonder, she could still ensure this attention.

The other three idle heads of Renette Tinicole nodded and silently returned to the spirit world.

She said so little today... Angel stared at the empty ceiling, suddenly remembering that he had spent ten thousand gold coins to ask the other party to provide combat assistance, but before he could use it, he successfully defeated the "Mirror Man" Pierce Turner...

No wonder she left without saying a word. Was she afraid that I would remember this incident and ask her to return the ten thousand gold coins?

After touching the harmonica that solidified the ritual of summoning the messenger, Angel still didn't dare to call the other party back to explain the matter clearly.

Fortunately, 10,000 gold coins bought her an effective battle, which might be useful in the future... She comforted herself and the 10,000 gold coins that she could never get back.

Next, she could only wait quietly for Creste Cesimma to return from abroad as the letter said, contact her in her dreams, and then ask for the "reward" for dealing with the man in the mirror. After all, the extraordinary characteristics of the "Night Watcher" returned to the church would most likely be handed over to the "Sword of the Goddess" to be promoted to a demigod. Both publicly and privately, he should give some compensation.

Triss hasn't contacted me for a week. Perhaps she is still secretly investigating Viscount Stratford. As the captain of the palace guards, it is impossible for him to be caught as easily as William Sykes. She needs to be given more time.

Sherman, who had been staying in the East End for several months, had been promoted to "Instigator." It was unclear how well he was doing with his role, and whether he had considered abandoning his current identity and becoming a true "witch." This was something he had been looking forward to for a long time, but Angel was keenly aware that Sherman's thoughts had recently wavered.

The other party was considered half of Angel's "student", so she was naturally very concerned about the growth of this "instigator" and planned to have a face-to-face communication with him when she had time.

At worst, he could tell him that Sequence 4 of the "Hunter" or "Red Priest" pathway could transform him back into a male... Angel chuckled and thought of Elaine who was facing similar troubles.

Before leaving the sea, Angel handed the Sequence 6 "Conspirator" formula to Elaine, and at the same time gave her a commission: to monitor the actions of the "Witch Cult" and "Vice Admiral of Disease" at sea in exchange for some of the main ingredients of the potion.

A month has passed, and there should be some news. I hope she can contact me on her own initiative, rather than asking me to emerge from the mirror and find her in person...

Finally, there was the dance this Saturday. Angel and Klein had already had many "chance encounters" in the past few weeks, laying a solid foundation. They could use the dance to meet formally and find an opportunity to confirm their relationship.

Of course, given Dwayne Dantès's personality, he would likely strive to connect with Backlund's upper class, requiring greater caution in choosing a partner. Generally speaking, a common method involves leveraging financial resources to marry the daughter of a fallen noble. While this doesn't guarantee inheritance of a title, it does provide a foothold into the social world of the nobility. Once the next generation accumulates enough wealth, they can emulate Baron Syndras and use vast sums of money to secure a hereditary title.

So, is it really a good thing that "Dwayne Dantès" chose "Christine Theresa"... Angel smiled and laughed at himself.

She didn't intend to give Klein to anyone else...

Suddenly, she felt the gas lamp in the study flicker slightly, and her spirit also gave clear instructions. She opened her clairvoyance and found that Renette, who had left not long ago, had returned. None of the four heads were holding the reply letter, but were staring at her intently.

"What can I do for you?"

Angel asked doubtfully.

"Your..." "Boyfriend..." "Condition..." "Not good..."

My...boyfriend?

Angel's head buzzed, he stood up from the desk and asked anxiously:

"K, what happened to Hermann?"

Reinette's heads answered in turn:

"He is..." "I..." "At home..."

The last head paused:

“Hurry over…”

Angel frowned and went straight to the decorative mirror in the study. He reached out and pressed the mirror surface, turning it into an entrance to an illusory mirror world with various color blocks stacked on top of each other.

Fortunately, I usually carry most of the magical items with me in the form of accessories... She took a deep breath and immediately disappeared in the study.

Renette's four pairs of blood-red eyes stared at the mirror for a while before she disappeared and returned to the spirit world.

————

Angel quickly arrived at 160 Böklund Street in the North District through the dark, spider-web-like mirror passage, emerged from the full-length mirror in the bedroom on the third floor, and returned to reality.

In front of her, Klein, dressed in formal attire, sat at the table. In front of him was a half-burnt candle. It was pitch black, as if covered in a layer of wrinkled skin. The short wick was covered with fine scales. It was now lit, and the light blue flame emitted an eerie atmosphere.

Klein held the candle in one hand and placed the other flat on the table. His eyes were lightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

It's the "Nightmare Candle"... Isn't it in the hands of Father Utravsky at the Harvest Church? How did it end up with Klein?

Angel immediately recognized the magical item that allowed the holder to enter the depths of the target's mind, resolve negative personality traits, and thereby "cure" the target's mental illness. After a little thought, he understood the entire chain of item transmission.

Klein was aware of the identity of the Tarot Society member "Moon" and knew that this vampire had been helping the Harvest Church run by Father Utravsky. Angel had told Klein about how he had completed the priest's commission, so he was well aware that the priest possessed such a magical item.

So, he has some mental illness that needs treatment, so he borrowed the candles and wanted to solve it himself?

Angel approached lightly and stood beside Klein. In his spiritual vision, he saw that the glow on the latter's body was a little unstable, but Angel was not a fortune teller or a secret reader, so he could not see more information.

According to the priest, using candles for more than five minutes would lead to complete spiritual loss. This meant that Klein used the candles after the messenger left... She pondered this and looked at the table. She successfully found her letter, which had been opened and read.

He knew that Renette might notice his abnormality, but he didn't even care about it and hurriedly used the Nightmare Candle to enter his own dream to solve the problem. Was his "illness" already so serious?

Angel casually took out a "dream" spell, wanting to enter Klein's dream and help him solve the problem, but he hesitated when he pinched the silver piece between his fingers.

She didn't know whether "Nightmare" could be used together with the "Heart Nightmare Candle", which obviously belonged to the "Audience" path. If the two powers interfered with each other, it would affect Klein's current battle and make him waste precious time.

As for the various diseases, frost, and curse abilities, they could easily kill dozens of Kleins, but they couldn't solve his psychological problems.

As a demigod, Angel was standing beside the other person at the moment, but he felt that he could do nothing.

…

Tingen City, Iron Cross Street, Moretti House.

Klein stood in the middle of his own room, quietly looking at another young man sitting on the lower bunk of the bunk bed.

He had black hair and brown eyes, was thin, and wore a linen shirt. His face still had a distinct scholarly air, making him look just like the Klein before his "suicide."

The two Kleins stared at each other for a moment. The one sitting there had a distorted expression on his face. He pointed forward and shouted angrily:

"You took my body, and now you want my soul too?

"Zhou Mingrui, you are just a shameless time traveler, the kind of parasite you despise the most!"

He even knew that I was worried about the "parasite" in Leonard's body. If I let it continue to grow, I'm afraid I can only use the power of the "Poseidon's Scepter" or the "Card of Blasphemy" in the gray fog to deal with it... Klein, wearing a double-breasted suit, pondered. He reached out and shook open his pocket, allowing the "Blood Admiral" Senior in the gold coin inside to transform into a human form. With a cold face, he floated towards Klein's negative personality.

The latter's angry expression gradually disappeared, and fear crept onto his malnourished face.

He shrank back slightly, almost disappearing into the shadow of the bunk bed.

"Wait, wait, you've already taken my life, so just leave my life behind...

"I can help you with strategies and thinking, but I won't try to take back control of your body, and I won't try to get my hands on Angel, and I won't tell her your secrets!

"Please let me go..."

The newly born negative personality didn't seem to possess extraordinary power, far inferior to the powerful personality that had completely taken over the priest's mind. However, he already knew my deepest concerns and tried to influence me through words... Klein continued to analyze internally, his expression becoming increasingly solemn. He didn't move himself, simply commanding the marionette to approach the opponent, striving to achieve a decisive victory with one strike and leave no hidden dangers.

At this moment, he heard a faint prayer in his ears. It was a soft female voice that he was very familiar with. It seemed very far away, yet as if it was right beside him.

At the same time, the fear on the face of the negative personality who heard the noise suddenly disappeared, revealing a sinister smile.

…

After praying to The Fool, Angel didn't receive an immediate response. He could only look at Klein who was sitting upright again, silently estimating the time in his heart.

If the problem isn't solved in five minutes, I'll use the "Dream" spell to enter his deep dream and use the special properties of the "Secret Holy Symbol" to help him solve the problem... But when did Klein develop a negative personality, to the point where he needed to be killed with a Nightmare Candle?

As she was pondering, she suddenly felt Klein in front of her move slightly, then opened his eyes. The blue eyes belonging to "Dawn" looked over at her, and the hand that had been resting on the table reached out towards the pale blue candlelight, ready to extinguish the flame.
