As he returned to the gray fog, Klein felt the chill in his body rapidly dissipate. He no longer had the feeling that every "spiritual worm" would be born with a new consciousness.

A moment later, the mottled bronze table appeared before his eyes, and he saw the spirits of Miss Justice and Leonard gradually becoming clearer from the thin gray mist, but still remaining somewhat blurry.

When the gray fog surrounding them sank into the "ground," Klein asked:

"How do you feel now?"

He habitually used the tone of Gehrman Sparrow, but he immediately recalled that in the "Hall of Honesty", his inner muttering, divergent thoughts, habitual analysis, and slander of Leonard were completely exposed. He could no longer maintain his original image in front of Miss Justice.

"It's all Leonard's fault! Well, I just followed the doctor's advice. Not only did I not wear a thick mask this time, I even took off the thin one..." Klein subconsciously had this thought, and then he forcibly interrupted his thoughts and looked around vigilantly.

He had not yet gotten over the fear that his inner thoughts would be "spoken" out loud.

Fortunately, this is no longer the place he named "Hall of Honesty", and there is no longer any "magic" that cannot be resisted by normal abilities.

It was obvious that "Justice" Audrey and "Star" Leonard also had similar post-traumatic stress disorder. One of them pursed her lips tightly and the other sat up straight, as if they had instinctively thought of something just now.

After a few seconds of silence, they remembered that the World Gehrman Sparrow had just asked about their own condition, and they quickly turned their attention back to the main track.

"I feel like something has been purified... I originally had the illusion that I would develop a second personality. No, it wasn't a second personality. It was as if a consciousness that didn't belong to me was awakening inside my body. Well, it's gone now. Praise Mr. Fool!" Audrey "Justice" performed self-psychoanalysis very professionally, and expressed her gratitude sincerely.

This is thanks to me for being able to calmly accept... dangerous thoughts. Fortunately, in the Hall of Honesty, Miss Justice and Leonard's thoughts did not turn to the direction of The Fool, otherwise I would definitely not be able to help but "answer" and that would be the end... My shame would make me lose control on the spot and collapse into a pile of "Spirit Bugs"... Klein's thoughts flashed, and he responded seriously:

"Praise Mr. Fool!"

“…Praise Mr. Fool.” As a believer of the Goddess of Night, Leonard hesitantly agreed, and then quickly changed the subject, “I don’t have any problems anymore. Just now, I felt something behind the bronze door calling me. What about you guys?”

Seeing that Leonard had also confirmed the status, Klein placed the Darkless Cross in his hand and the metal vial containing his blood on the mottled long table in front of him.

"I feel that way too," he replied in the affirmative.

"Me too. This is not an illusion. I have analyzed my own mind." Audrey "Justice" said in a very clear tone.

"Star" Leonard raised his hand and scratched his chin and said:

“What could that be?

"I actually need an ancient god to be sealed behind my throne..."

After what happened before, he felt that he had lost his image in front of Miss Justice and his attitude became more and more casual.

"We can try to analyze it..." Audrey, the Justice, glanced at Gehrman Sparrow, the World, cautiously.

She was impressed by the man's ability to combine intelligence, develop associations, and complete analysis and speculation in a short period of time.

Klein thought about it and said without any preconceived inclination:

"There are only three possibilities. One is that some powerful creature in the real world of the Second Epoch, at least close to Sequence 0, was sealed by the 'Imagination Dragon' Angerweed at the bottom of the 'City of Miracles' Liveseyd, behind his throne. However, I don't think this possibility is too high, because the ancient god created this travel journal and stuffed it into Liveseyd, affecting both the world in the book and the real world. He must have his own plot and is unlikely to leave an unstable factor there for a long time."

"Well, we all know that we have to avoid unexpected events, especially with an ancient god." Audrey nodded slightly and started a serious conversation with "World" Hermann.

At this time, Leonard said with a "huh":

"Perhaps the ancient god 'Dragon of Imagination' has seen some scenes in the distant future and believes that the sealed things will help him realize his plan to some extent?"

"So I said the possibility is not high, not that it is impossible." Klein responded calmly, "The second possibility is that the sealed object itself is the key to the plot of the 'Dragon of Imagination' Angerwede. When this travel book meets '008', the seal will be lifted, and the object will return to the real world and bring about some changes. I think this possibility is the greatest."

This may also involve the true position or intention of the "Dragon of Wisdom".

"What could that be? Mr. Fool said that after Adam got 008, he was closer to the throne of God, and the times changed. This should mean that Adam has collected all the materials for the Visionary, and only one ritual is left... I wonder if my understanding is correct?" "Justice" Audrey gave her opinion.

“I’m not sure either. I will pray to Mr. Fool later to see if I can get a clearer revelation.” Klein didn’t say anything definite.

Unfortunately, the old man is an angel from the Fourth Epoch, and he doesn’t have a deep understanding of the Second Epoch. However, he is familiar with Adam… Leonard the Star said thoughtfully:

"I'll try to..."

He wanted to try to investigate, but then he remembered that the two people here knew his secret, so he gave up struggling and said directly:

“…Try asking the old man.”

"Thank you for your help." Audrey thanked her sincerely.

In her opinion, this is a matter of the "audience" approach. The one who cares the most is undoubtedly herself, while others are more likely to provide help.

Then, she took the initiative to say:

"The third possibility is that what is sealed there is an object or a monster from the world in the book?"

"Yes, it may be closely related to the world in the book. Destroying it will cause the world in the book to collapse. Therefore, the ancient god Angreweed can only be sealed." Klein gave his own guess.

Audrey "Justice" pondered for a while and said:

“I have an idea about this possibility.”

Seeing that Mr. World and Mr. Star were looking at her, waiting for an answer, she slowed down her speech and said:

“I think about it from a psychological perspective.

"Since the world in the book was 'imagined' by Angerweed, the ocean of collective subconsciousness there must have arisen from it, with spiritual, emotional, and perceptual imprints deposited.

"Perhaps the 'City of Miracles' Livesey sealed the most extreme of these things, which are certain shadows in the heart of the 'Dragon of Imagination', certain fears, or the imprints of certain extremely terrible things in the consciousness. As long as I have not truly defeated them and eradicated them in reality, the collective subconscious of the world in the book cannot be eliminated and can only be sealed. If left unchecked, they will gradually pollute that 'ocean' and cause the development of history to deviate from the predetermined trajectory."

Leonard was more focused than when he attended the internal meetings of the Nighthawks or even the Red Gloves. After listening, he couldn't help but say:

"As an ancient god who rules over the sky and the mind, what could possibly leave an indelible shadow and cause such intense fear?"

"I don't know." Audrey shook her head frankly. "If we analyze it purely from a psychological perspective, since it is sealed under the throne, at the bottom of the 'City of Miracles', and there is a passage extending all the way down, it means that the source of shadows and fear may have originally come from underground. Therefore, the 'Dragon of Imagination' would have the psychological mapping of sealing it, no, blocking it underground. Otherwise, why is it not on the side of the throne, deep in the hall, in the special prison, or somewhere else?"

Listening to Miss Justice's words, Klein immediately thought of the experiences of Miss Magician and Miss Judgment:

Following the information provided by the vampires, they discovered an ancient castle of indeterminate age. On the bottom floor of the castle, there was a bronze door that seemed to seal some terrible thing from underground. Once one approaches the door or stays around it for too long, one will be contaminated and die miserably!

It was an ancient castle built for unknown purposes. It was originally guarded by humans from an unknown era... After the vampires discovered this place, no one dared to go deeper... I thought it might be related to demons, and at least a demigod was qualified to explore it... Could this be related to the seal of the "City of Miracles" Liveseyd? Klein's thoughts quickly unfolded, and he quickly found a similar piece of information from his memory:

On his way to the ruins of the God War on Cattleya's "Future", he encountered a so-called "deep-sea giant well".

At that time, Nina, the boatswain of the "Future", dived to the bottom of the sea and made some investigation. She said that it was not a giant well at all, but just a dark and narrow deep well with no visible bottom that even human children could not enter. There were strange honeycomb-like corrosion marks on the inner wall, and there were collapsed steel buildings around it.

In a sense, this is also a "passage" deep underground... Klein glanced around and spoke after careful consideration:

"Do you remember something that Miss Magician mentioned? Under the ground of the abandoned castle in the Delaire Forest, there is a door that seals a powerful corrupt force."

"Oh, yes!" Justice Audrey recalled the past event. "Could it be that in the early Second Epoch, in ancient times, the extraordinary creatures had some common, terrible enemies that came from underground?"

“Perhaps.” Klein couldn’t give a definite answer, so he took this opportunity to say, “It’s also possible that, as many doomsday prophecies say, the danger comes from the stars.”

"Yeah." Audrey and Leonard didn't know much about it, so they couldn't discuss the issue in depth.

"Let's end it here today. Once we have a preliminary understanding of the situation, we will try to do the mural experiment. Also, remember to keep it a secret." Klein glanced at Leonard and said, "Well, after we go back, we will immediately pray to Mr. Fool and ask him to witness our oath not to reveal each other's secrets."

Audrey the Justice did not object, and added:

"For some things, I will first 'hypnotize' myself to forget them here, so as not to think about them frequently after I return."
