    Chapter 62: Distribution

    A few minutes later, Klein, in the appearance of Gehrman Sparrow, and Miss Justice Audrey walked out of 39 Böklund Street and headed toward the homes of the other parasitized people.

    After walking a few steps in silence, Klein suddenly looked ahead and spoke.

    “Situations like this are not uncommon among wild Beyonders. Without proper guidance, it often means they have always been walking along the edge of a cliff and might fall at any moment.”

    Audrey gave a soft “mm.” After several seconds, she said,

    “I know. I am no longer as, as…”

    She considered her words briefly, then curved the corners of her mouth faintly, as though laughing at herself, and found a suitable word:

    “Naive.”

    “Whew…” She then let out a breath without concealing it and likewise looked ahead. “If I returned to June of last year, and if I knew that the mysterious world was this cruel and terrifying, I very likely would not ask to become a Beyonder again.”

    Klein tilted his head slightly and glanced at this noble young lady’s face. As though casually, he asked,

    “If you were now given a chance to completely break away from the mysterious world, would you accept it?”

    Audrey froze for a moment, then slowly pursed her lips.

    “No…”

    After giving that answer, she seemed to relax a little. She smiled and spoke to herself:

    “Under the premise of knowing that the mysterious world is cruel and terrifying, the me before June of last year would have given up becoming a Beyonder. But the me of this year would not.

    “This is perhaps the price of growth.”

    “I understand what you mean.” Klein continued forward at an unhurried pace, then changed the subject. “After those parasitized people are thoroughly purified, some will spit out Worms of Time. These can be used to make Luck Stealer charms. They are at the demigod level and can swap the fate of enemy and ally for a short period of time. When the time comes, I will give you one as today’s consultation fee.”

    Audrey was just about to refuse when she suddenly fell silent. Then she nodded lightly.

    “All right.”

    No sooner had she spoken than she suddenly stopped. She tilted her head and glanced at Gehrman Sparrow. With a somewhat complicated expression, she smiled.

    “I understand why you asked that question just now.”

    Klein gave a low laugh and did not answer directly.

    Audrey withdrew her gaze, and her mood seemed to become much lighter all at once. As if chatting idly, she said,

    “At noon, I participated in the punishment operation. In the afternoon, I came to handle the aftermath related to Amon. Today truly is ‘Tarot Day’…”

    Her words carried a double meaning, expressing a very subtle sigh.

    In her view, at noon, five members of the Tarot Club—The Moon, The Star, Justice, Judgement, and The Magician—had acted together in different ways. In the afternoon, the Tarot Club’s The World and Justice had participated in clearing out Amon’s avatars from different angles. This day was indeed quite memorable, and in some sense counted as “Tarot Day.”

    Klein nodded, agreeing with Miss Justice’s words. However, he did not tell her that in the afternoon’s operation, The Star, Leonard, had also participated and had been one of the main forces.

    “Amon’s avatars must have been very hard to deal with, right?” Audrey finally found an opportunity to ask this question.

    She looked at Gehrman Sparrow, her emerald eyes openly filled with curiosity.

    Klein smiled.

    “If I had only relied on myself, then the Gehrman Sparrow you see might essentially be Amon right now.”

    “Stealing fate and identity?” Audrey asked, realizing something.

    Klein gave a soft “mm.”

    “I will explain the details later. In short, in order to clear away all of Amon’s avatars in Backlund, we mobilized angels this time.

    “If you encounter Amon’s avatar in the future, absolutely do not think you have a way to handle it yourself. Immediately look for an opportunity to pray. Mm, His traits are that He likes wearing monocles, and He likes performing…
