Klein took a deep breath, opened his eyes slightly, and the images in his mind dissipated like mist.

He continued to stretch his limbs a few times, slowly turned back and left the balcony, let Male Servant, "Winner" Enyouni close to him, close the curtains, and then faced the wall in the corner of the room and prayed to "Sea God", like a believer with a secret belief, and slowly walked into the bathroom.

All these actions were so natural, as if they were done every day, without showing any impatience or anxiety.

It wasn't until he locked the bathroom door, walked four steps backwards through Gray Fog, arrived at the majestic palace, and sat on the high-backed chair belonging to Fool that Klein truly breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

He summoned "Sea God's Scepter" from the pile of debris behind him, and took advantage of Enyouni's prayer to bring the carriage that passed by his door and stopped at Councilor Macht's house into his sight.

Although the Demonesss and "Justice" Miss could not be compared, Hazel, who could be regarded as a rare and beautiful girl, just got off the carriage, smiled and returned home briskly.

In the carriage behind her, the person lying on the cushions was not a gray mouse, but a young man with black hair, black eyes, black clothes and a black top hat. He held a Crystal Monocle between his right eyes and observed with a smile on his face. The Macht Residence outside the window is exactly the "Blasphemer" Amon that Klein saw in the Elk Manor.

Amon's Avatar Sure enough, I found this street!

This did not surprise Klein. Rather, Klein felt that it was a bit slow for them to find this place until today. It was even so slow that Klein's original plan to lure Amon's clone with himself could not be implemented at all. In the end, he chose to use "Parasite" gloves and Angel as bait to expose her to danger.

Unexpectedly, everyone was ready, but he came to Böklund Street in another way... Klein stared at Amon who was leisurely and contented in the carriage, while thinking about the other party's motive for coming here.

His contact with the Hazel family and the "Marauder" Demigod mouse revealed too much information. Those details that were thought to be insignificant now became clues for the Amon clones to track down the anomaly.

As for the leakage of this information, it must have originated from the gray mouse, from the "Marauder" Demigod who was on the verge of madness that night and was overwhelmed by Klein and countless Marionettes.

Judging from the current situation where Amon clearly appears as a black-haired young man, but is recognized by everyone as a gray mouse, there is no doubt that he Stealing decided the fate and identity of Demigod before his death, and even became Hazel's teacher and accompanied her back home.

The thing worse than death is probably when a person dies, Beyonder Characteristic is eaten, and even his identity belongs to someone else... Well, this seems to be something I did, but Klein Moretti was really dead at the time...

At that time, Arrodes should not have been used to scare that Demigod, and he also said "There is a Marauder" "Angel is wandering nearby", forcing the other party to leave here and go to the manor in the suburbs... Amon's Avatar will now definitely be interested in the non-existent Angel, and start a carpet-like search on this street... Klein muttered, looking around, looking for traces of other Amon.

He couldn't believe that only one Amon's Avatar came here.

But after careful inspection, Klein frowned.

The driver of the car, the maid who followed Hazel, the other servants of the Maht family, even Passerby on the street, the residents of other houses, even the horses pulling the cart, and the birds in the sky were not parasitized or "Stealing fate".

This is wrong. According to what Pales Zoroaster said, when you find a Amon, there may already be thousands of Amon around... because you know Angel rushed directly into the church of Evernight Goddess, knowing that he was likely to be targeted by the church, so even if Böklund Street had all kinds of doubts, he only sent one of the bravest avatars to investigate, and would he die if he died?

Based on his own experience of "Trick Sorcerer", Klein quickly came to this conclusion that seemed to be extremely correct. However, he did not trust his own judgment easily. Instead, he let the "world" emerge at the other end of the long table. He started to pray, then divided the image into two parts, and put in the crimson stars representing "Empress" Angel and "Star" Leonard.

"...Amon appeared in No. 39 Böklund Street, replacing the last identity of 'Marauder' Demigod, but there are no other clones around..."

The deep voice of "The World" echoed in the palace and penetrated into the stars, but Klein had no intention of caring about it.

In the sight of this "Sea God", Amon, who followed Hazel back home, had an everlasting smile on his lips, put his hands in his pockets, and narrowed his right eye wearing a monocle.

Translucent worms with twelve links emerged from his body, squirmed in all directions, and disappeared immediately.

This made Klein, who was above Gray Fog, feel chills all over. He almost wanted to use the sight that had not dissipated to attract a powerful lightning to strike down, killing all Amon and his "Worm of Time".

There is indeed only one clone of this "Blasphemer", but he must have concentrated most of the power of Amon and Backlund in his body, so he can split into countless Worm of Time and parasitize all the targets he sees!

This... I'm afraid I can't wait for the "Wednesday or Thursday" scheduled by Will Auceptin. Is there a deviation in fate, or is Amon able to hide and deceive even "Snake of Fate"?

Without any further hesitation, Klein quickly returned from Grey Fog Space to his bathroom and back to his bedroom.

He didn't make any move, "Hell Admiral" Raphael who was guarding the door took a step, walked downstairs quickly, left the back garden, and got into the nearest sewer. Enyouni took over the other person's work and waited outside the door, making the bedroom Klein's private space.

Then, this "Trick Sorcerer" began to organize his equipment, and took out the black gem-like Evernight Emblem that he had always carried with him, and held it in the palm of his hand.

He knew that once "Plague-Style Infection" was activated, Amon would quickly get the information he needed from the surrounding servants and residents. He knew that "Dwayne Dantès" living in No. 160 was the biggest "anomaly" on this street!

This won't take long, and the time left for Klein may be less than an hour.

It's not like he didn't think about leaving and leaving everything that belonged to Dwayne Dantès. As long as he activated "Teleportation", did Anti-Divination again, and used Faceless's ability to change his identity, even if he returned to Backlund again, there would be no way for these Amon to discover his existence.

But Maht's family, as well as other neighbors and his servants, will inevitably become Amon's targets.

Anyway, all preparations were made, and Angel and Leonard were notified... He took a deep breath, made up his mind, pinched "Creeping Hunger" on his hand, and touched his forehead with his ungloved hand, feeling his rising body temperature.

At this moment, the contact between "Marionette" Enyouni and him outside the door was interrupted.

"Amon appears in No. 39 Böklund Street..."

A familiar voice came to my ears, and the figure of "World" Klein appeared in front of my eyes. Angel immediately stopped what he was doing and listened carefully to the other party's words.

After a while, the message conveyed by "Fool" ended. Angel walked out of the bedroom on the second floor of the ambush site, stopped at the window, and looked in the direction of Böklund Street in the distance.

A few hundred meters away, there is a Amon's Avatar hidden.

Unexpectedly, he had made so many preparations here, but Amon would appear on the street where Klein lived... Angel lamented that the plan could not keep up with the changes, but he immediately understood what was happening over there.

Unexpectedly, Amon's clone, which had been silent for a week, still found its way there. Did Klein ask Mr. "Fool" to convey the message to catch the Amon clone that appeared alone at his house?

After thinking for a moment, Angel did not immediately get into Mirror World to go to Böklund Street. Instead, he first entered Spirituality's field of vision, sensed the "Seed of Disease" that he had already buried in several targets, and slowly ignited them.

After completely digesting "Despair" Potion, her "disease" is no longer limited to the infectious diseases spread directly around her. Instead, she can infect the target in advance through various means and detonate it when necessary, just like the "Desire Apostle" she once killed.

And these non-fatal illnesses will become the connection between her and her teammates.

After everything was done, Angel was ready to leave this house full of mirrors.

She did not go to the scene immediately because she was worried that Mirror World's disturbance would attract the attention of Amon's clone. She had already been involved in this kind of thing once before and would not do it again Error.

Therefore, this time, after Angel confirmed that Klein was still normal with "illness", he planned to take a carriage to Böklund Street, pretending that he was just a pedestrian passing by.

In this way, Amon shouldn't find me...

She was thinking, looking Last Time towards the window.

A wild cat with mixed yellow and white hair lay quietly at the window, staring at Angel with its vertical pupils narrowed.

Its right eye squinted tighter, as if holding an invisible monocle.

Angel's gaze froze for an instant, and the mirror closest to her flickered with dim light, opening the passage to Mirror World. However, after shaking her body, she did not immediately pounce on Mirror Tunnel, but stood there without moving.

Her thoughts were stolen again.

"I'm curious how we found you?"

The wild cat speaks human language with a hint of joking, just like the Amon Angel met by the Tussock River late at night.

"There are clones lurking in every area of the city. You should only expose the Sealed Artifact for a few seconds, but this is enough for them to confirm the approximate distance and direction, and then... it's just a simple calculation."

The person who took over the conversation was not the wild cat, but another figure pushing the door open.

He was wearing work clothes stained with oil and a black soft hat. He looked like a worker who had strayed into someone else's home. He had a broad forehead, sunken eye sockets, and did not wear a monocle made of crystal.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot."

He smiled apologetically, took out a monocle from his pocket, clamped it in his right eye socket, and bowed gracefully.

"We meet again, Witch of the Night House Miss."

The worker Amon in front of him, the wild cat Amon by his side, and the Amon who seemed to have endless doors and windows, so much so that their voices partially resonated, said in unison.
