Chapter Twenty-FiveThe Dragon of Imagination Audrey was not surprised by The Sun’s request. Since the City of Silver had popularized the acting method, then by her calculations, he should already be approaching the end of digestion. Seeking the next potion formula was naturally one of his highest priorities. I wonder how a Bard should act. Singing hymns every day? When a fight starts, hiding to one side and using song to bring courage and strength to companions? Or first blessing himself, then…-

Chapter Twenty-FourSequence 2 “October 29th. The leader of the Secret Order, Zaratul, visited me again. He did not mention any specific matter, merely chatting casually for a while. I cannot guess his true intention. Perhaps he simply wants to strengthen communication between both sides and our understanding of each other? “Having already met two high-Sequence powerhouses of the Churches, I felt Zaratul was stronger and more mysterious than either of them. Thus, without holding much hope, I…

As Klein’s understanding of mysticism and the Beyonder field deepened, and as he gradually tested out a portion of the gray fog’s abilities, he was no longer as guilty as he once had been when facing Justice, The Hanged Man, and The Sun. He no longer blindly thought only of maintaining an image of profound mystery, lest the Tarot Club members keenly pierce through his disguise. He now knew that although the deities of this world were powerful, eerie, and complete with all manner of strange traits,…

Chapter Twenty-TwoA Busy Monday Having formed a rough guess, Klein did not rush to verify it. Pretending nothing had happened, he turned the paper back around so it faced him. All the information he had written regarding Ian Wright was absolutely true. Even if one confirmed it with divination, the answer would be affirmative. Therefore, he believed that the ambassador’s people would follow this thread and gain a certain harvest. For a short period of time, they would have neither the motivation nor…

Chapter Twenty-OneThe Night of the Full Moon It was the same dream divination, but this time, Klein saw far more scenes. The first scene was still that cramped, dark, filthy room, and Ian Wright asleep on the upper bunk. The second scene was the sewer both of them had visited. Ian crouched before Zeriel’s mutilated corpse, reached out, felt along the two rows of pale-white teeth, and removed one of them. The third scene was a busy, noisy street. The pedestrians wore plain clothes—some even…

Chapter TwentyNever Judge by Appearance One living person and more than a dozen corpses had played cards for half the night inside a dimly lit room. The more one thought of such a scene, the more terrifying it became, until one’s scalp tingled inch by inch. Klein restrained the instinctive fear rising within him and looked at the twenty-eight- or twenty-nine-year-old man before him—the one with a pale face, brown eyes full of malice, and an entire person who revealed a faint trace of madness.…

Chapter NineteenBravehearts Bar Who? Why would someone know I purchased the Sheriff formula? Xio’s dark-green pupils contracted. Stunned, she looked around, but she discovered no suspicious gaze. According to Mr. A, trades conducted here should be very safe and very confidential… In the end, unable to restrain herself, Xio looked toward that single sofa and saw that Mr. A, his features hidden by the shadow of his hood, was still quietly watching the crowd without showing the slightest…

Chapter EighteenLosses Inside an office at Rice Police Station, Klein met Jurgen Cooper. This young senior solicitor was still dressed extremely formally, as though he were ready at any moment to attend a banquet of high society. His black double-breasted frock coat, stiff-collared white shirt, enormous bow tie, and polished leather boots made the policemen treat him very politely. Holding his half-top silk hat, Jurgen looked at Klein with blue eyes and said, “The procedures are complete. Go pay…

Chapter SeventeenThe Interrogation In Queen’s Borough, inside an unremarkable house. Xio and Fors casually found seats and sat down. Their eyes scanned the entries written across the surface of the blackboard. Mr. A, dressed in a hooded robe, remained quietly seated alone on the foremost sofa, looking down upon everyone from his elevated position. “Sequence 8 Sheriff potion formula, 450 pounds…” Xio silently read out the familiar line, and in her heart, she let out a long breath of…

Chapter SixteenChoosing the Lesser of Two Evils Meursault’s corpse lay there, eyes wide open, as though the vicious light in them had not yet faded. The wound that had cut through half his throat had originally been only a narrow line. But as the Beyonder characteristic had just condensed, it had been stretched much wider and blurred considerably. At the same time, postmortem incontinence had caused a foul stench to rise from his lower body. Klein held the lump of deep-red, jelly-like…
