Chapter Seventy-FourRay Bieber Hah. Hah. Hah. Thump! Thump! Thump! The enormous breathing and the violent knocking first alternated, then overlapped. In an instant, Klein and the others’ nerves were stretched taut to the breaking point, as though they had heard some evil whispering directly into their minds. Taking advantage of the moment when El, Dunn, and Lorotta were distracted, the tailcoat clown abruptly drew a long strip of paper from his pocket. Pap! With a sharp flick of his right…-

Chapter Seventy-ThreeFirst Battle Under the bright afternoon sun, Klein’s clothing was stained with dust. He quickly adjusted the firing position of the revolver and cocked the corresponding mechanism, putting himself in a state where he could fire and hit an enemy at any moment. The brass-colored metal of the gun reflected flowing light. He gripped the gun with one hand, extending it forward, alert to possible changes around him. At the same time, he was somewhat worried about Captain Dunn and…

Chapter Seventy-TwoTracking The puppet’s face had been painted in the common style of a clown with red and yellow greasepaint. The corners of its mouth curved high on both sides, forming an abnormally ridiculous smile. As its mouth split open, revealing the dark, fathomless hollow within, Klein met its gaze and felt every hair on his body stand up. A sudden, intense fear rose in his heart without reason. The sight before him dimmed at once, as though he were watching the world through a thick…

Chapter Seventy-OneThe Sluggish Phenomenon Bend the arm. Stretch it out. Klein repeated the process over and over, watching as Dunn half-turned and pushed open the door of the duty room. The Captain’s caution, high vigilance, and that absurdly comic “protective movement” left Klein’s thoughts abnormally tense. It felt exactly like when he had been a child walking alone at night past a grave mound. A Grade 2 Sealed Artifact: dangerous; use with caution and restraint… Even official…

Chapter Seventy“2-049” Arrives Clip-clop. Clip-clop. Clip-clop. Hooves struck the road; wheels rolled forward. Klein, who had activated spirit vision and turned around to look, failed to see the gentle, sweet-looking young lady as he had wished. All that filled his eyes was the brown body of the carriage moving away. At that moment, all the passengers waiting at that stop had already boarded the public carriage. Its door shut tight as it gradually receded into the distance. Inside the…

Chapter Sixty-NineAmulet Klein’s gaze swept over and saw the person asking about tooth peony. The man stood less than a meter away from him. He wore a black formal suit and matching half-top hat, carried a silver-inlaid cane, and had gold-rimmed glasses on his face. His bearing was quite refined. “Yes. Do you need it? This little jar is three soli,” said the stall owner, who was draped in a dark-black robe very much in the style of mysticism. The refined man with pale-yellow temples and…

Chapter Sixty-Eight“Monster” At dusk, the setting sun stretched the shadows of carriages and horses until they were long and thin across the road. Having already explained things to Benson and Melissa, Klein had dinner at Blackthorn Security Company. Now he was riding a public carriage together with Old Neil toward the docks district. He wore his original cheap formal suit, because he was worried that in a place like this, conflict might easily break out. If his carefully tended tailcoat were…

Chapter Sixty-Seven“Response” High in the sky, the crimson moon hung quietly in the darkness, shining upon Tingen, the City of Universities, as it gradually returned to silence. Klein stood before his desk, looking down through the bay window at the cold, empty Daffodil Street. In the distance, he heard a carriage drive swiftly past without making much noise. He picked up the silver-white pocket watch with vine patterns, snapped it open, and glanced at it. Then he reached out and drew the…

Chapter Sixty-SixThe Demoness Sect “Sequence 8: Instigator. Skilled at drawing out the evil desires hidden at the bottom of each person’s heart. Skilled at intensifying contradictions, provoking conflict, and creating bloody incidents…” The description is not detailed enough. It looks like the Nighthawks do not understand this potion’s abilities very well… But it does indeed match the characteristics of the Clover tragedy… Klein’s gaze shifted upward, landing on the Sequence 9…

Chapter Sixty-FiveBeyonder Information Holding the document signed by Dunn, Klein went underground and turned into the armory. “Dunn is right. It is time for you to learn about different Beyonders and various secret organizations.” Old Neil, dressed in his classical black robe, showed no surprise upon seeing the note. On the contrary, he solemnly agreed. Immediately afterward, he added with a smile, “After all, tomorrow night you will be going to the underground market with…
