Fate in the mystical world was just that wondrous. Yesterday, Hobart had been thinking about rescuing Dunn, but the terror of "0-08" had made him hesitate.
Hobart had also considered reporting it, but what could he say? That Ince Zangwill was in Tingen City?
Unless the Goddess personally intervened, any action the Nighthawks took might alert "0-08." It would only delay the development of events, not solve the problem completely.
By then, the "Evil God" would be more mature and cause even greater harm.
Fortunately, "0-08" could only weave its stories within a single city. Otherwise, Hobart would not have even dared to consider it.
He had not expected to obtain the Psychological Spoon this morning, giving him a way to go to Tingen City and save Dunn.
He could use the Psychological Spoon to seal away his memories concerning "0-08," then head blindly to Tingen City and trigger those memories only after encountering a certain event.
That way, "0-08" could at most notice Hobart's existence, while the chance of writing him into its story would be very small.
Using the abilities of the Spectator pathway against a Sealed Artifact from the Spectator pathway was not a bad idea.
Hobart pondered as the carriage continued eastward.
After traveling for nearly two hours and asking for directions several times, he finally arrived at the client's residence.
This place was already within the mountainous region east of Backlund, giving Hobart the illusion that he had left Backlund entirely.
At the foot of a hill stood a farmhouse. This was the home of Mr. Stan, the client.
Mr. Stan operated a forest farm here. Far from the city, with fresh air all around, it was like an earthly paradise.
Beyond the hill ahead was another forest farm, belonging to Mr. Jamie's family.
