Chapter 151: Different Predicaments Seeing her lady display obvious interest in the ghostly rumor, Annie glanced at the other maids preparing hot water, combs, and similar items, then continued, “The doctors and nurses wanted to invite a bishop from the Church to hold Mass, but the remaining patients strongly objected. They’re all hoping to encounter that ghost. They call it the Clown Angel. They say that although its terrifying appearance looks like a clown deliberately dressed up to frighten…-

Chapter 150: Collaboration A little past six in the morning, all of Backlund was still dark, very quiet, with most places illuminated only by the glow of gas streetlamps. Wearing pajamas, Klein sat on his bed and looked at Miss Messenger, who stood to the side carrying four heads. Rubbing his forehead, he asked with considerable helplessness, “Who sent the letter?” Is a man not allowed to sleep properly anymore? Three of Reinette Tinekerr’s blond-haired, red-eyed heads answered in…

Chapter 149: A Performance True to Character “You suspect Vice Admiral Ailment’s fleet is hidden there?” Anderson asked thoughtfully after hearing Danitz’s words. Danitz answered with considerable excitement, “There’s a very good chance! Didn’t the Black Death disappear after sailing west from Celos Island?” Anderson curled his lip and laughed softly. “If Vice Admiral Ailment’s whereabouts could be found out that easily by you, what would be the point of her…

Chapter 148: A Breakthrough Point In an alley within the Backlund Bridge area, Xio once again met the MI9 officer responsible for contacting her. “This is the compensation you exchanged with your merit—2,500 pounds in total. Heh, I fought for an extra 500 pounds for you.” The man wearing the golden mask tossed Xio a bulging envelope. Xio caught it accurately. She did not count it, only pressed it instinctively, then spoke with sincere gratitude. “Thank you.” The man in the golden…

Chapter 147: The Angels of The Fool The Queen of Mysteries’s abilities are all so dreamlike. No, they’re practically fairy-tale-like… Klein glanced at the fountain pen writing by itself, then took paper and pen from his pocket and wrote down the incantation for summoning his messenger. He also noted that each letter required one gold coin as postage. Immediately after, he handed the paper to Bernadette, received hers in turn, and quickly skimmed it. “Invisible creature that roams the…

Chapter 146: A Laughable Person Bernadette wore a white women’s shirt in the Intis style and sat there quietly. Her chestnut hair fell naturally over her shoulders, and her straight brows spread at exactly the right angle. She even had something of the air of a professional woman from Earth—and the kind who had occupied a high position for a long time. The Emperor’s taste in raising the Queen of Mysteries certainly left a strong influence. It’s just limited by the surrounding environment, so…

Chapter 145: Self-Questioning Backlund, East Borough, inside a cramped rental apartment. Dressed in a relatively thick jacket, Klein stood behind the desk, looking at the glass window ahead while carefully sensing the speed at which his Bizarro Sorcerer potion was being digested. “It really is fast. Faster than all the progress I made over the past three months combined… Still, that couldn’t be helped. Before obtaining the Staff of Life, I couldn’t provide sufficient treatment. I had to…

Chapter 144: Ghost Stories Night. Pritz Harbor, in a cemetery outside the city. Those who had died during the earlier naval bombardment had already been carried here. Pastors and bishops of the three major Churches were busily soothing the souls, preventing mutations. In that brief span of one day, many wives had lost husbands, many children had lost mothers, and many families had been left with only one lonely survivor. They wandered through the cemetery; some were silent, some wept, and some had…

Chapter 143: A Difficult Choice After sitting there in a daze for some time, Klein raised a hand, rubbed his forehead, and stood. He took four steps counterclockwise and entered the space above the gray fog. He then conjured Gehrman Sparrow and, by praying to Mr. Fool, transmitted two separate messages to Danitz and The Hermit Cattleya. To the former, he warned him to be careful of the Secret Order in the near future. Although Klein did not believe Zaratul would go directly to Danitz—someone…

Chapter 142: Hiding in the Dark On the way from Böklund Street to Saint Samuel Cathedral, Klein passed by the Loen Charity Bursary Foundation at 22 Phelps Street and was rather surprised to find that its doors were still open. As the founder and current director, he cared about it to a considerable degree. He slowed his pace, changed direction, and walked over. No sooner had he entered than Klein saw Miss Audrey coming down from the second floor, accompanied by her personal maid, a golden…
