Chapter 108: Leveraging Strengths

After the abnormality disappeared, Klein breathed out slightly in relief. He examined the environment inside the house, then selected a spot that was illuminated by faint moonlight and where the shadows were not too dense, avoiding the possibility of sudden assault.

The few seconds of experience just now gave him a certain guess regarding the faintly visible figures beyond the curtains and the beast-like growling sounds:

They were the corpses that had previously hung inside the church, murmuring “Hornacis… Flegrea…”!

When Klein had passed through the wall and left the church, all those suspended from above had turned toward that lit candle. Meanwhile, there had been no figures walking back and forth on the street. Once Klein controlled the flame from afar and extinguished the candlelight, everything became the same as last time!

When the red moon becomes clear, spirituality is enhanced, and the “magnet” at the top of the church deepens its influence over the misty town. It can manipulate those corpses and make them walk back and forth, pretending to be normal people? If that is true, then perhaps light draws the “controller’s” attention. In this situation, if the flame is not extinguished in time and its source is locked onto, something extremely terrifying may happen. Mm, I cannot rely on my ability to manipulate fire and repeatedly shift the “gaze” of those figures…

Klein reminded himself of this and then, using his still-open Spirit Body Threads vision, examined the bread, potato beef stew, and deep-red wine on the dining table.

He suspected that the food here belonged to that “magnet” at the top of the church. If it was consumed, one’s Spirit Body Threads would suffer contamination and uncontrollably drift toward the church. This would also explain why those who ate the food here evaporated into thin air: they all ended up hanging and being air-dried inside the church. When the red moon became clear, they could come out to “walk,” matching Mr. A’s description that the vanished people would reappear beneath the bright moonlight.

With one glance, Klein discovered that the food resembled living beings. Spirit Body Threads grew out from inside them, extending toward the direction of the ancient church.

The most special point was that each piece of food had only one Spirit Body Thread, clearly different from the countless dense threads possessed by normal living beings.

As expected. It is roughly as I guessed…

With his idea initially confirmed, Klein withdrew his gaze and began thinking about how to deal with the Demoness of Despair, Panatiya, later.

Beside him, the Wraith Senor, wearing an old tricorn hat and dark red coat, suddenly appeared. The marionette’s bones cracked, and his face squirmed. Very quickly, he became Gehrman Sparrow.

The marionette was using the Faceless ability!

Klein examined this “substitute” for a while and discovered that there were still some flaws. The clothing could not be transformed, and if he used illusion to conceal it, he could not fool a demigod-level Demoness of Despair. Even Mr. A might not fall for it.

After brief consideration, he had the Wraith Senor in Gehrman Sparrow’s appearance remove his clothes, while he himself took off the black clerical robe. The two began swapping attire!

During the process of dressing and putting on the hat, Klein’s expression gradually grew strange, because for the past two months, his marionette had always worn this outfit. It had gone through the sewers, endured explosions, and absorbed all kinds of mixed odors. It was not particularly pleasant.

Sigh. The suffering I endure now is the sin I sowed by being lazy in the past…

Klein silently sighed and completed the disguise, turning into Gehrman Sparrow in the image of a pirate captain.

At this moment, the Wraith Senor had also put on the black clerical robe. His aura had become lively rather than cold, and he was no different from a living person.

After…
