Chapter Two Hundred TenThe Story In the outskirts of Tingen stood a house with a lawn of deep green. It had a garden that had begun to wither at the very start of September. It had a dark-red chimney. Behind one of the bedroom windows in that house was a desk, upon which lay an utterly ordinary notebook, spread open. A slightly pale hand turned the notebook back to its first page, then swiftly flipped through it page after page. Amid the rustling of paper, lines of text emerged…-

Chapter Two Hundred NineLight “Wah!” The baby inside Megose’s belly cried. It squirmed, wanting to be born, wanting to help its mother escape her predicament. The black, cold, slippery threads seemed frightened, or perhaps seized by some invisible force. They retreated one after another. “Wah!” Dunn and Klein both grew visibly dizzy. Their throats constricted on their own, their windpipes compressing again and again, making breathing instantly difficult. From their noses, the…

Chapter Two Hundred EightThe Cry Beep, beep, beep. Inside the Captain’s office, the telegraph suddenly stirred, as though a new message was about to arrive. But Klein and Leonard could not spare even the smallest part of their attention. Their eyes were red, and they were silently counting the beats of the second hand. “Ten.” “Nine.” “Eight.” … At that moment, Dunn Smith, holding in his left hand the square casket that seemed made of silver and bone, entered the…

Chapter Two Hundred SevenGuardians Dunn sighed. “At the time, I really was trying to send you away, because what I had to do involved a secret belonging to the Church and the Nighthawks. But Kernli’s death left my head in chaos. For a moment, I could think of only a poor excuse, which gave you the opportunity to return and see it.” “What secret?” Klein asked, feeling far more at ease. For a moment, he nearly forgot that outside there still existed the suspected offspring of an evil…

Chapter Two Hundred SixGrade 2 Sealed Artifact Within the deep, tranquil underground corridor, the nearly four-meter-tall white-bone messenger clenched the folded letter and vanished before Klein’s eyes without causing any abnormal change. Once only the elegant gas lamps embedded in the walls remained around him, Klein put away Azik’s copper whistle and continued toward Chanis Gate. While writing the letter, he had already decided which Sealed Artifact he would choose next. First, Grade 3…

Chapter Two Hundred FiveEmergency Arrangements Almost by instinct, Klein thrust both hands into his coat pockets. One hand pinched the Sunflame Charm. The other gripped Azik’s copper whistle. He keenly sensed that the latter’s cold yet gentle extraordinary touch had vanished, as though suppressed by an invisible force. The former, however, remained warm, bringing reassurance. Borrowing that reassurance, Klein entered a half-meditative state, expelling panic from his emotions and no longer…

Chapter Two Hundred FourThe Visitor Seeing that point, Klein and Leonard lifted their gazes from the letter at the same time and looked at each other. Each muttered almost simultaneously: “This man is probably insane, right?” “Lanevus is a hidden madman?” A genuine madman, one with delusions and antisocial tendencies… As the thought turned in Klein’s mind, his heart tightened. He hurriedly lowered his gaze back to the letter. “Ladies and gentlemen, my hint is this: I have…

Chapter Two Hundred Three“Mutants” Filled with both anticipation and unease, Klein unfolded the paper and began reading Azik’s reply: “…The scene you described reminds me of several possibilities—of vampires and mutants. “Natural vampires had already been close to extinction before dragons and giants withdrew from the stage of history. Only occasionally were they discovered afterward. The vampires we usually discuss, those found in folk legends, are closer to Beyonders. I remember…

Chapter Two Hundred TwoConfirming the Situation After folding the letter paper, Klein took out the copper whistle, brought it to his lips, and blew hard. Soundlessly, he saw hazy, illusory white bones flung up from the surface of his desk, one after another, turning into a fountain and assembling into an enormous monster. It was still close to four meters tall. It was still covered in faint light. Its head still drilled through the ceiling, seemingly no different from before. With a flick of his…

Chapter Two Hundred OneInquiry Leaning against the wall, staring into the darkness on the other side of the corridor, Klein instinctively held his breath. What is the Captain doing? What happened to the Captain? Was he drinking blood? Is he showing early signs of losing control? Thought after thought surged up. His mind was a chaotic mess, completely unable to produce effective thinking. After more than ten seconds, Klein gritted his teeth. Borrowing the Clown’s control over his…
