Chapter One Hundred NinetyThe Combination of Abilities Duke Negan’s residence. The ballroom. Disguised as Baron Gramir, Qilangos held a glass of blood-red Aurmir wine and stood leisurely behind the railing of the second-floor gallery, admiring the men and women in the dance hall, admiring the richly dressed young ladies and madams. Yet there was not the slightest desire in his eyes. They were calm as a frozen lake. Only occasionally did he glance from the corner of his eye at the enormous…-

Chapter One Hundred Eighty-NinePrayer and Response Tingen City, Daffodil Street. Klein was discussing the recently popular play with his elder brother Benson and younger sister Melissa, sincerely inviting them to go to the Grand Theater next Sunday evening to watch it. “I believe the newspapers have already said enough. The Return of the Count is definitely a play worth seeing in person. It has already been performed dozens of times in Backlund, each show completely sold out. I do not think we…

Chapter One Hundred Eighty-EightThe Ball A firm, high bridge of the nose. Sparse eyebrows. Cheeks that sagged slightly. Pale blue eyes… Qilangos looked at himself in the mirror, examining the reflection up and down several times and confirming there was no difference whatsoever between himself and the unconscious man. After imitating several of the other man’s habitual gestures, he bent, dragged the man on the floor to the side, and stuffed him into the wardrobe. Then he extended his right…

Chapter One Hundred Eighty-SevenAzik’s Warning The sheer presence of the “messenger” shocked Klein for five full seconds before he recovered and bent to pick up the paper. “Even if Mr. Azik is unable to use most of his Beyonder abilities because of his amnesia, just sending out this messenger should be enough to deal with Sequence 7, perhaps even Sequence 6 Beyonders, right?” His mind reflected his own astonished and envious expression. He did not hurry to unfold the paper, instead…

Chapter One Hundred Eighty-SixThe Dashing Captain Countless glimmers of light rushed toward him. The chaos of a million people all uttering different ravings at once poured into his ears, yet Klein paid none of it any attention. The Clown’s ability told him that his Spirit Body was being covered, little by little, by a rapidly swelling, spreading shadow. That shadow was an enormous cross. Upon it, someone seemed to be hanging upside down. Crack! The chaotic, terrifying storm of thoughts all…

Chapter One Hundred Eighty-FiveThe World of the Mind Waiting for cake? That really is an answer beyond my imagination… No, if I could guess a mental patient’s answer, would that not mean I am almost the same… As the thought flashed through his mind, Klein maintained a leisurely smile and asked as if chatting with a friend, “Who is bringing you cake?” Hood Eugen’s expression collapsed all at once. His face appeared even thinner and longer as he said mournfully, “No. No cake… No…

Chapter One Hundred Eighty-FourBehind the Door “Come in.” Dunn Smith’s mellow, warm voice came from inside. Klein turned the handle, pushed open the door, and saw the Captain enjoying breakfast. To Dunn’s right sat coffee giving off a rich aroma. Before him was a plate holding white bread, toast, and bacon. Dunn put the remaining buttered toast into his mouth and silently pointed toward the chair opposite his desk. Klein did not disturb the Captain’s meal. Wearing a faint smile, he…

Chapter One Hundred Eighty-ThreeA “Lesson” in Spirit Channeling After dinner and some conversation, Klein sat on the single-person sofa in the living room, picked up the recently delivered Awwa Evening News, and leisurely unfolded it to read. Benson sat opposite his sister with a pained expression. In front of him was the dining table Bella had wiped extremely clean, along with grammar books, classical literature, accounting tutorials, fountain pen, and paper. Melissa’s arrangement was much the…

Chapter One Hundred Eighty-TwoKlein the Wanderer In early September, Tingen’s weather had already turned from cool to faintly cold, yet the sunlight between three and four in the afternoon still felt warm. Klein passed through the wall of spirituality and the oriel window, floating in midair outside his bedroom and looking down at the pedestrians and carriages moving back and forth along Daffodil Street. Just then, a man in gray-blue worker’s clothing suddenly lifted his head and looked…

Chapter One Hundred Eighty-OneDifferent States Returning to his bedroom, Klein took advantage of the still-existing wall of spirituality. With great familiarity, he took out a candle mixed with sandalwood and placed it at the center of his desk. Following the procedure, he lit the candle with spirituality, sprinkled in essential oils, hydrosols, and herbal powders that symbolized good luck and mystery, watched the flickering flame repeat between dimness and brightness, and smelled the tranquil,…
