Chapter ThirteenNighthawk Tap! Klein could not help taking a step backward. For a moment, he did not know whether he was awake or still inside the dream. The figure removed his black top hat and bowed slightly. With a deep smile, he said, “Allow me to introduce myself again. Nighthawk, Dunn Smith.” Nighthawk? The code name of the Church of the Evernight Goddess’s team of Beyonders that Justice and the Hanged Man had mentioned? Klein understood something at once. Connecting it to…-

Chapter TwelveAnother Visit Sis, can we please not rub salt into the wound… Klein complained inwardly, feeling his head begin to throb again. The knowledge the original owner had forgotten could not be called too much, but it was certainly not little. The interview was the day after tomorrow. How could he possibly make up for it in time? Besides, he had been dragged into a strange and terrifying incident. How could he have the state of mind to “review”? After fobbing Melissa off with a…

Chapter ElevenTrue Cooking Everyone involved dies is the norm? They are pleased I am still alive? Fortunate I am still alive? Klein shuddered sharply, hurried two steps toward the door, and tried to chase after the policemen to seek protection. But the instant his fingers touched the handle, he stopped. “That officer made the matter sound so terrifying. If so, why are they not protecting me, an important witness—or a key clue? “Isn’t that far too careless? “Are they testing me?…

Chapter TenThe Norm “Who is it?” Klein had been thinking about the original owner’s mysterious suicide and the unknown dangers he might yet encounter. At the sudden knock, he instinctively pulled open the drawer, took out the revolver, and asked the question with his guard fully raised. Outside the door, there was silence for two seconds. Then a slightly shrill voice called out in an Awwa accent: “Me. Mountbatten. Beech Mountbatten.” The voice paused, then…

Chapter NineThe Notebook After resting for half an hour, Zhou Mingrui—who had already begun to regard himself as Klein—finally recovered. During that time, he discovered four black dots on the back of his right hand, arranged precisely into a small square. The four dots faded from dark to pale and soon disappeared, but Klein knew clearly that they were still hidden within his body, waiting to be awakened. “Four points. A square. Could they correspond to the four portions of staple food…

Chapter EightA New Age Whooo! The gale screamed. Rain fell in sheets. The three-masted sailing ship rose and plunged between mountain after mountain of waves, like a toy tossed into the air by giants, caught, and tossed again. The deep crimson faded from Alger Wilson’s eyes. He found himself still standing on the deck, no different from before. Immediately after, he saw the strangely shaped glass bottle in his hand crack and shatter. Frost and snow melted into water, blending with the…

Chapter SevenCode Names “You may call me the Fool.” The brief answer soon faded into the grand temple and the drifting fog, but in Audrey and Alger’s hearts, that voice echoed for a long time, stirring ripple after ripple. It was an address they had not expected, yet one that felt exactly right. It perfectly embodied an image of mystery, power, and strangeness. After a few seconds of quiet, Audrey rose. She lifted the hem of her skirt in a practiced, airy gesture, bent her knees, and…

Chapter SixBeyonders The same Loenese. The same solemn, tense feeling. Where is this? What do I intend to do? I would like to know that as well… Zhou Mingrui calmed himself and silently repeated the two questions. What struck him most was not the sentences formed by the words, nor the meaning contained in those sentences, but the panic, vigilance, terror, and reverence displayed by the man and the woman. He had somehow pulled two people above this world of gray fog. Even as the…

Chapter FiveThe Ritual Free? The most expensive things in the world are the ones that cost nothing! Zhou Mingrui muttered silently to himself, resolving that no matter what additional services she tried to sell afterward, he would firmly refuse. If you are so capable, then divine that I am a transmigrator. With that thought, he followed the red-and-yellow-painted woman, bent down, and entered the low tent. The inside of the tent was very dark. Only a little light seeped in, faintly…

Chapter FourDivination Zhou Mingrui sat back down in his chair. Only when the bells of the distant cathedral rang again—seven slow, resonant strokes—did he finally rise at an unhurried pace and walk to the cabinet for his clothes. A black waistcoat. A formal coat of the same color. Trousers slightly tight around the ankles. A half-top hat. Together with the faint scholarly air lingering about him, the reflection in the mirror made him feel as if he had stepped into a British drama set in the…
