Chapter 109: Mutual Restraint

What a terrifying intuition. She clearly has not discovered that the “Gehrman Sparrow” before her is only a substitute, yet she still feels something is wrong…

Hidden inside a distant house, Klein hissed inwardly. Thoughts whirled in his mind, and he swiftly devised a response.

He controlled the Wraith Senor, making the marionette speak in a low, hoarse voice.

“I also feel somewhat uneasy.

“After the ‘door’ opens, if you leave first, then when I go out, you could completely ambush me outside. You would not even need to ambush me. You could simply wait there.

“I believe I should be the one to leave first. Before that, you must return my flesh and hair to me. When the time comes, you can stand a little closer to the ‘door.’ That way, you will have enough time to pass through the ‘Door of Escape’ before your Spirit Body Threads drift to the top of the church.”

The Demoness of Despair, Panatiya, listened in silence, then asked in return, “Then how should I guard against you destroying the ‘Door of Escape’ after you leave?”

“That is also my question,” the marionette in Gehrman Sparrow’s appearance replied without yielding in the slightest. “After I obtain the special symbol, I will show it to you. In that case, even if I close the ‘Door of Escape,’ you can reopen it.”

Panatiya closed her mouth again, as though considering the details. However, she appeared somewhat irritable, finding it difficult to calm down. It was as if her mind was filled with a large amount of madness.

Only after more than ten seconds did she speak again.

“I feel that a pure curse may not necessarily harm you. Seers do not lack methods for avoiding damage, just like the Paper Figurine Substitute you used earlier.”

She really leaves no loopholes… Thankfully, the person in front of you is fake from head to toe…

While lampooning inwardly, Klein had the Wraith Senor take paper figurines from his pockets one after another and burn them all in front of the Demoness of Despair.

“I cannot be certain whether you still have one hidden,” Panatiya said, still somewhat neurotically suspicious.

Gehrman Sparrow pulled the corner of his mouth without expression.

“You can divine it. Witches are quite skilled at that, are they not?”

Panatiya laughed with some impatience.

“This place cannot communicate with the spirit world, and my spirituality…”

She did not finish speaking. Her gaze turned rather dangerous.

Klein understood what the Demoness of Despair meant very well. He knew that because of her half year of “eating,” her spirituality had been contaminated, becoming somewhat chaotic and mad. It could no longer provide sufficiently reliable “answers,” especially when the person she faced was a Beyonder most skilled at divination.

The two of them were deadlocked, temporarily unable to resolve the problem of how to establish trust.

At that very moment, from the roof on the left, a hoarse, indistinct voice sounded.

“I can help you ‘witness’ it.”

Gehrman Sparrow and Panatiya turned their heads at the same time and looked over, only to see Mr. A “grow” out from the shadows. His hooded robe was stained scarlet.

“How will you ‘witness’ it?” Klein made the Wraith Senor ask.

Mr. A tugged at his hood and laughed deeply.

“I will use Flesh Magic, drill into your body, and monitor your state. The moment you stop manipulating the Spirit Body Threads or try to use Paper Figurine Substitute, I will immediately give a warning or attempt to stop you.

“Once the ‘Door of Escape’ you mentioned opens, I will leave your body and enter the door before the Spirit Body Threads are affected.”

Do you take Gehrman Sparrow for a fool?

Klein made the marionette curl the corners of his mouth slightly.

“As far as I know, a Rose Bishop can indeed hide inside another person’s body, but when he burrows out, the host dies on the spot.”

“No. That method is for avoiding detection, so the flesh must be fused with the host’s flesh and blood. This time…
