Above the gray fog, Klein leaned back against the high-backed chair, holding Creeping Hunger in his hand, and remained silent for several seconds.
In the end, he still followed his planned procedure and released the soul of the Psychiatrist.
Beside the bronze long table, a tall figure quickly appeared. It was a woman. Her face was somewhat blurred, and pain and distortion spilled unmistakably from her.
Looking at her, Klein asked in a conversational tone, “Do you still remember who you are?”
Within this mysterious space, he could directly perform spirit channeling.
The malice surrounding the female Psychiatrist weakened greatly. She gave a bitter smile.
“Of course I remember.
“I was a member of a secret organization. I was planning to visit a friend on Toskat Island when I encountered pirates along the way.
“Although I used my abilities to resolve that disaster, the pirate who escaped told Qilangos what had happened. To obtain my ability, he deliberately changed his route and intercepted our ship. You should be able to imagine what followed.
“Thanks to his caution, I was killed outright and did not suffer what was worse than death like the other female passengers.”
Klein fell silent for a few seconds, then nodded gently.
“Do you know of an ancient book called Groselle’s Travels?”
He believed that since Groselle’s Travels originated from the dragon race, Psychiatrists might have heard of its name or specific circumstances.
The female Psychiatrist thought carefully for a moment before shaking her head.
“I am sorry. I have never heard that name.”
Klein did not dwell on the topic. He turned instead to another question.
“You are about to dissipate and receive peace. Do you have any final wishes?”
The Psychiatrist lowered her head and gave a soft laugh.
“I want to be resurrected.
“Alright. I know that wish cannot be fulfilled. There is no need for anything else. I have already been dead for many years. My family and friends should have received the terrible news long ago. Passing along the news of my death again would only make them remember that pain once more.
“So, thank you. That will be all…”
Her figure rapidly dimmed and vanished, leaving behind only an enormous golden pupil, a golden pupil capable of reflecting the thoughts in every person’s heart.
This was the Beyonder characteristic left behind by the Psychiatrist.
Klein sighed and began considering a few details in what the Psychiatrist had just said:
“She went alone to visit a friend on Toskat Island, without bringing any relatives…
“Toskat Island lies at the easternmost edge of the Sonia Sea, north-south opposite the Gargas Archipelago.
“It is Loen Kingdom’s easternmost colony, while the Gargas Archipelago belongs to the Feysac Empire… What kind of friend would be there? What kind of friend would be worth such a long passenger-liner journey?
“Although she only said it was a secret organization, she most likely belonged to the Psychology Alchemists. Was she on a mission?”
Klein respected the dead and was unwilling to dig up the other party’s secrets, so he had not asked further. At this point, he naturally had no clues. He soon stopped thinking about that issue and turned to another matter.
After hunting the Silver-Tongued Misor King, no matter what the reason, I have to leave Bayam soon… During this period, I really have done quite a few things in this City of Generosity… Mm. I will attend two or three Beyonder gatherings and confirm whether anyone has the main ingredients for Marionettist before leaving… Klein swiftly came to a decision. Then he materialized the scene of The World praying, covered it in gray fog, and tossed it into the crimson star representing Miss Justice.
…
Audrey was standing on the third-floor balcony, gazing at the nearby village. The rooftops there were mainly brick red, decorated with realistic or abstract dragon patterns.
Suddenly, a familiar boundless gray fog appeared before her…
