After Justice Audrey and Star Leonard left the gray fog, Klein did not immediately return to the real world.

He still sat on the high-backed chair that belonged to the "world" and remained silent for more than ten seconds.

Then he waved and took an item.

It was a "heart" the size of a child's fist, covered with gray and white wrinkles.

"Manipulator" extraordinary characteristics!

Holding this extraordinary characteristic, Klein stood up and walked outside the majestic palace. He went all the way into the depths of the mysterious space above the gray fog and arrived at the glorious staircase leading to heaven.

He walked up the stairs to the gray-white cloud floating in the air, and stood in front of the strange light gate and the transparent "cocoons" hanging below. Klein raised his right hand, raised the "Manipulator" Beyonder characteristic that was like a heart and a brain to the same level as his chest, and extended his spirituality to try to drive it.

He wanted to see whether the people trapped in the "cocoon" still had a latent consciousness, and whether a miniature sea of ​​collective subconsciousness had been precipitated and blended.

If there was, he planned to rely on the "Manipulator" extraordinary characteristic left by Hvin Rambis to enter the realm of consciousness, check the mental imprint, and find out what these people hanging on the light gate encountered before "crossing", and find out whether they sensed anything during the long "sleep".

This is what inspired Klein to explore today.

Of course, the extraordinary characteristics left by Hvin Rambis may not necessarily help Klein accomplish what he wants to do, because it has not yet been made into a magical item and is difficult to be used effectively.

A moment later, the "heart" covered with gray and white wrinkles in Klein's hand began to beat slowly, making a thumping sound.

Klein then heard synchronized heartbeats coming from the transparent "cocoons":

Plop, plop…

This means that the people inside are still alive, but are in some kind of dormant state.

In Klein's sight, their shapes gradually evolved into islands that were clear on top but blurry below.

This represents their field of consciousness.

However, these "mental islands" are also confined in transparent "cocoons", isolated from the prying eyes of the outside world.

Likewise, they are unable to settle and blend with each other to form a sea of ​​collective subconsciousness.

“Unless the ‘cocoon’ is destroyed, there is no way to bypass them and enter the corresponding spiritual world…” Klein muttered to himself silently and put down the hand holding the Beyonder characteristic of the “Manipulator”.

After a few seconds, he sighed deeply, turned around and left.

…………

In the Hall family's luxurious villa in Queens.

Audrey, who was sleeping peacefully with her eyes closed under a silk quilt, suddenly opened her eyes.

She then turned over and sat up, moved to the bedside, and prayed devoutly to Mr. Fool, asking him to witness her oath of secrecy.

After finishing this task, she took a pillow and placed it behind her waist, recalling the experiences that she had not yet "forgotten" during this exploration.

"The history of the ancient times is really interesting, and yet inexplicably terrifying... Mr. Xingxing's behavior is consistent with my usual observations of him. He is rather unfocused and casual, and his thoughts easily diverge and are difficult to control. But sometimes he appears to be experienced, sharp-minded, and relatively reliable... This is not a contradiction, as many people are this kind of 'complex'...

"Mr. World is indeed a gentle person. He looks expressionless, but he is always whispering in his heart. The conversation between him and Mr. Star can be made into a drama...

"Everyone says he's a crazy adventurer. When he sees a target, he never considers the danger or the environment and just draws his gun and shoots... Well, at the last moment, I thought he would try to get close to the bronze door, but... he ran away. No, he got away so decisively!" Audrey's mouth curled up slightly when she thought of this.

She then concluded:

“It turns out that in the mysterious world, unless one has completely lost his mind or given up thinking, there will be no truly crazy Extraordinary People. Prudence, caution, don’t look at things you shouldn’t look at, and don’t listen to things you shouldn’t listen to are the main themes here.

"Audrey, you must remember this!"

At 7 Pinster Street, Leonard returned to his body.

He quickly thought about how to communicate with Pales Zoroast, then pretended nothing had happened and spoke in a low voice:

"Old man, I have something to ask you."

In his mind, the slightly old voice of Pales suddenly laughed:

"You have to remember one thing, the more you ask, the more likely I am to guess what you did tonight."

"It's not something that needs to be kept secret..." Leonard replied habitually, and then got to the point, "Old man, what do you know about the Amon brothers?"

"That depends on what you want to know." Pales Zoroast threw the question back to Leonard.

Leonard thought for a moment and said:

"After Amon's brother got '008', is he only one ceremony away from becoming a god?"

"That should be the case." Pales did not give a very definite answer.

Leonard was not very satisfied with this answer and said:

"I remember you mentioned once that in the early days of the Solomon Empire, the two angel kings, Medici and Ouroboros, were quite afraid of the Amon brothers. This shows that they are really close to the throne of God."

This was something that Pales had occasionally mentioned in previous exchanges, and Leonard also got confirmation from some of Mobet's answers this time.

"Oh, I only said the first half of the sentence. I didn't tell you that Amon and Adam were very close to becoming gods at that time." Pallez denied Leonard's statement. "There are many possibilities for Medici and Ouroboros to be afraid, not just because they were very close to becoming gods. We can't make a definite judgment based on that."

The Sequence 1 angel cleared his throat and continued:

"Being very close to the throne of God is one possible reason. Adam and Amon have unique powers and are difficult to deal with. This is also a possible reason. Just like Adam, you never know if he is sitting next to you. You don't know if what you do is arranged by God. You don't know if you will take the initiative to walk into his trap. Hey, I mean you, not me. Of course, I must also be wary of these things. Once I am not careful, it is very easy to suffer losses.

"As for Amon, he has many different ideas and a practical spirit. His unpredictable goals make it difficult to guard against him. Moreover, he is very good at fraud and there is always a conspiracy behind him. In that era, no one was not afraid of him except the true God. Haha, even the true God had to be guarded against, otherwise some of his authority would be stolen from him at any time."

Leonard nodded imperceptibly and changed the topic:

"Old man, do you think the 'audience' path holds any secrets?"

"There should be no secrets below the level of angels, but I'm not sure about those above them." Pallez Zoroast said after pondering for a few seconds.

Without waiting for Leonard to respond, he added hesitantly:

"I once heard a saying from Medici that those who are in high positions in the 'audience' path are the least likely to lose control and go crazy, but they are also the most likely to lose control and go crazy."

"Why?" Leonard asked in astonishment.

Pales Zoroast said, “Hey!”

"I have some guesses, but I lack evidence and logic, so I don't want to tell you for now."

"You actually don't have any ideas or guesses..." Leonard muttered half habitually and half intentionally.

"Don't play these little tricks in front of me." The slightly old voice was not affected at all.

Leonard didn't dare to ask any more questions, and after thinking for a while, he said:

“Old man, I went to a real dream this time, and there are many spiritual remnants of ancient figures in it.

"Do you know a Viscount named Mobet Zoroast?"

"Mobet..." Pales Zoroast's voice suddenly became much older, and then returned to normal. "That was one of my direct descendants. He disappeared after a large-scale war. I originally thought that he was killed by Amon or Jacob, so I couldn't predict the murderer... Now it seems that things are not that simple."

"Indeed." Leonard gave an affirmative answer, then said, diluting the surface and extracting the essence, "He has been dead for a while, and only a little bit of his spirit remains. In that real dream, he and an elf singer became husband and wife..."

Pales listened quietly, then remained silent for a while and said:

"That's fine..."

Leonard originally wanted to say that Mobet also called him old man, but he suddenly couldn't open his mouth and had to end the topic here.

…………

After witnessing Leonard and Audrey's oath, Klein returned to the real world.

He tidied up the altar in the room, took out a pen and paper, and drew a complex symbol that mixed "peeping" and "secret".

He wanted to summon the "Magic Mirror" Arrodes and ask it how it confirmed that "Groselle's Travels" appeared after the disappearance of Levished in the "City of Miracles".

After waiting for more than ten seconds, the full-length mirror in the room began to light up dimly, and there seemed to be waves of water ripples in it.

In the dim light, silver words popped out one after another:

"Supreme, great, merciful master, your humble, loyal servant Arrodes comes at your call.

"Is there anything you would like to tell me?"

"Some questions." After answering, Klein did not rush to ask about Groselle's Travels. He planned to start with a less sensitive topic.

He thought for a moment and said:

"Arrodes, there is an abandoned castle in the Delaire Forest. Deep inside the castle is a bronze door that seems to be sealing some power from underground. Do you know what it is?"

As soon as Klein finished speaking, the faint light on the surface of the full-length mirror suddenly went out, and it became pitch black.

Above the pitch-black darkness, pale words appeared one after another with a downward feeling:

"I come from underground..."
