Chapter Thirty-OnePotion Dunn Smith’s gray eyes looked straight into Klein’s. For an entire minute, he did not speak. Under the pressure of such silence, such a gaze, Klein did not retreat and did not look away. He met Dunn’s eyes steadily. “You should understand,” Dunn finally said again, his voice low and empty of emotion, “that once you take a potion, there is no chance for regret.” Klein smiled. “I know. But I respect the voice of my heart.” First, Sleepless did not…-

Numbers 2, 4, and 6 Daffodil Street were a row of attached buildings with polygonal hipped roofs, their overall exterior a grayish blue. Three chimneys stood out conspicuously above them. There was, of course, no lawn, no garden, and no porch. The entrance faced the street directly. Scarter from the Tingen City Improved Housing Company held a ring of copper keys. As he opened the front door, he introduced the house. “Our row houses do not have entrance halls. Once you step inside, you are in the…

Chapter Twenty-Nine“Career” and Housing Are Serious Matters Klein made every effort not to show anything strange. With genuine curiosity, he asked, “What abilities does a Seer have?” “Your question is not precise enough. It should be: what abilities does one obtain after drinking a Seer potion?” Dunn Smith shook his head with a smile. His gray eyes and face were turned away from the red moon, hidden in shadow. “Astrology, card divination, pendulums, spirit vision, and many similar…

Chapter Twenty-EightThe Secret Order Thump! Thump! Thump! Klein’s heart suddenly began beating with ferocious force. It clenched into a tight knot, then swelled violently outward, making his body tremble faintly along with it. For an instant, he almost forgot what he needed to do, what he ought to do. Only when the intruder’s figure suddenly paused and tilted his head slightly, as if hearing some change in the room, did the “blood” seem to flow back down from Klein’s brain. His basic…

Chapter Twenty-SevenDinner for Three Siblings Truly sharp… Klein laughed aloud. Drawing upon his rich “experience” from before transmigration, he joined the attack with another line. “In fact, there is no evidence whatsoever proving those great personages have brains.” “Good! Very good!” Benson burst into laughter and gave him a thumbs-up. “Klein, you have become much more humorous than before.” After catching his breath, he continued, “I still have to go to the…

Chapter Twenty-SixPractice Tap. Tap. Tap. Footsteps echoed through the narrow, shadowed corridor, carrying far into the silence without any other sound to disturb them. Klein kept his back straight and followed the middle-aged priest at an even pace. He asked no questions, made no idle conversation, and held himself calm as a windless lake. After passing through a heavily guarded passage, the middle-aged priest took out a key and opened a hidden door. Pointing toward the stone stairway leading…

Chapter Twenty-FiveThe Cathedral As Azik murmured to himself, he unconsciously looked toward Quentin Cohen, as if seeking a hint or sudden inspiration. Cohen, whose eyes were sunken and deep blue, shook his head without hesitation. “I have no impression of it at all.” “…All right. Perhaps the roots are merely similar.” Azik lowered his left hand and gave a self-mocking laugh. Klein was somewhat disappointed by the result, but he could not help adding one more…

Chapter Twenty-FourThrift and Household Management Outside the window, the golden afterglow was darkening by degrees. Klein looked into Melissa’s eyes and, for a moment, could not find a single thing to say, because every line he had prepared had become useless. He coughed twice and made his mind turn quickly. “Melissa, this is not wasting my salary. In the future, when Benson and my colleagues come to visit, are we going to receive them in a place like this? And later, when Benson and I marry…

Chapter Twenty-ThreeThe Sidearm Weapon Walking along Zouteland Street, feeling the warm damp breeze against his face, Klein was in high spirits when a sudden thought struck him. He had only three pence in loose change left on him. Returning to Iron Cross Street by public carriage cost four pence. To hand over a one-pound note and ask for change was like buying a cheap bottle of mineral water with a hundred-yuan bill back before he transmigrated. It was not that there was no other way—he simply…

Chapter Twenty-TwoThe Beginning of a Sequence After climbing the stairs and returning to the reception hall, Klein was just about to say goodbye to Rozanne when the brown-haired girl spoke in her usual bright tone. “The Captain said you should come back on Monday. Take care of your family matters first.” “…All right.” Klein had not expected the management of the Nighthawk team to be so humane, and for a moment he felt rather grateful. He had originally planned to rise early the…
