Chapter One Hundred Thirty-FourMore Than a Minute Has Passed Captain, that is exactly the question I hoped you would ask! Klein nodded seriously. “I feel better. I even think I could pass the Sanctuary’s examination right now. It is a kind of experience and confidence that cannot really be described in words.” Thinking that his previous answer might have been a little vague, he could not help adding, “Perhaps the name of the potion truly is the key. When I strictly act as a diviner…-

Chapter One Hundred Thirty-ThreeMoney-Burning Charms Hearing Klein’s answer, Elizabeth immediately became nervous. Her speech unconsciously sped up. “Can you help me divine what exactly caused it? It would be even better if you could divine a solution…” At most, divination can give a direction for the solution—and even then it will be symbolic, vague, and easy to misinterpret… Of course, you are lucky. I am not merely a simple diviner. I am also a true mysticism scholar… After…

Chapter One Hundred Thirty-TwoSeeing the “Monster” Again After finding excuses to temporarily dismiss the maids, Audrey locked the bedroom door behind them, turned around, and looked toward Susie, the golden retriever that might no longer count as merely her pet. “Did you hear—or, um, encounter anything?” The large golden retriever sat there with remarkable steadiness. She gave an awooo, vibrating the air around her as she spoke. “Yes. In the study, I heard the Earl and several…

Chapter One Hundred Thirty-OneA Transaction Mr. A? That feels more like a criminal code name than the title of a mysterious powerhouse… It cannot compare with the Fool at all… No. Those who can be compared with Mr. Fool should be gods or great figures only slightly beneath gods… With that thought, Audrey was suddenly filled with a sense of superiority. She calmly looked at Mr. A, then lowered her voice and asked Fors and Xio Derecha, “Does this gentleman have any notable…

Chapter One Hundred ThirtyA Secret Gathering in Backlund Klein looked at Swain, who stood before the monster’s corpse, then turned his head to see the Mandated Punisher who had been responsible for restraining the creature helping his half-unconscious companion to his feet. All at once, an indescribable sorrow rose within him. Whether Nighthawks, Mandated Punishers, or members of the Machinery Hivemind, almost none of them had any chance of becoming heroes. Everything they did would remain unknown…

Chapter One Hundred Twenty-NineThe One Who Lost Control Lost control? Klein’s heart clenched, and he nearly asked the question aloud. Although Dunn and Old Neil often emphasized the danger of losing control and how frequently it happened, this was still the first time he had encountered such a matter. For a moment, he felt panic, confusion, fear, sorrow—a terribly complicated mixture. “Of the cases handled every year, one quarter involve Beyonders losing control… and a large portion of…

Chapter One Hundred Twenty-EightThe Poor Fool After delivering lunch and filling his stomach, Klein rested for barely half an hour before hurrying off to the shooting club to practice firearms, not daring to relax in the slightest. Fed by thousands of bullets and day after day of persistence, his shooting ability had finally reached the passing line in Dunn Smith’s eyes. He was especially decent at fixed targets. After yet another round of mechanical repetition, he put away his revolver and took…

Chapter One Hundred Twenty-SevenLaying the Groundwork Light piercing through glass illuminated the guard room outside the armory. Old Neil finished reading the newspaper, took a sip of coffee, and lifted his head toward Klein. “How do you feel now? Have you calmed down? Or do you need a cup of wine, an advance on your salary, or a leisurely day off?” At that very moment, Klein, having completely digested the Seer potion, was attempting to use meditation to change the “switch” for his…

Chapter One Hundred Twenty-SixDivination Is Not Omnipotent Sis, you worry too much—no, you really are far too thoughtful! Klein’s spirits lifted upon hearing Melissa’s words. He immediately smiled and said, “Melissa, your concern is extremely reasonable. I am indeed still a little hungry. Mm. I will go upstairs first, change clothes, and take a bath.” Although he was already quietly swallowing saliva, confirming the whereabouts of Instigator Trissy mattered more! No one knew whether…

Chapter One Hundred Twenty-FiveA Bold Idea Faced with that “inexplicable familiarity,” Beyonders of other Sequence 9s might have tried hard to recall it, or might have ignored and forgotten it. But a Seer was different. Klein directly ended the ritual, removed the wall of spirituality, found paper, and wrote down a divination statement: “The source of the familiarity just now.” Immediately afterward, he sat on the edge of the bedroom bed, holding the paper while silently reciting the…
