Trissy dodged Frye's attack, but the bullet flew straight toward her face.

It was the young man who had reminded her; he smiled at her and pulled the trigger again.

Trissy lost another paper doll. Without thinking about the purpose of the other person's reminder, she immediately ran out of the house.

On the riverbank, she fell backward and disappeared into the river.

Lynch and his group fired several shots into the river, but no blood appeared, so they could only sigh in frustration.

"How did this guy break free from the dream so quickly? That's amazing!"

He sighed, feigning silence.

Leonard shrugged.

"When carrying out a mission, not everyone can stay in a dream for long. Once you meet more Beyonder, you'll find that their abilities are quite strange."

Lynch did not refute, but only sighed with a hint of regret.

Dunn walked over to him, thinking he was disappointed because Trissy had run away, and comforted him, saying, "Don't worry, we'll issue her arrest warrant soon. I believe other official Beyonder will also take notice of her, as long as she's still in Tingen."

Lynch nodded with a forced smile, which caught Leonard's attention.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you remember that girl I told you and Klein about before?"

Lynch asked with a helpless expression.

Leonard was about to ask what was wrong when he looked surprised. "You mean, this is that girl?"

Lynch nodded.

"Yes, she was probably looking for her target there. I even ran into her, but she still got away. But I don't understand why she looked familiar. It's definitely not love. This time, I only felt like I wanted to kill her. Did my Spirituality tell me that there was something wrong with her that day?"

Leonard was about to speak when, as if he had heard some explanation, he pretended to analyze, "Now that you mention it, she looks kind of familiar. Who does she resemble? Klein, tell me, who does this woman look like?"

Klein:...

He frowned; the captain had just sent him over.

Then, as soon as I arrived, I heard Leonard ask this question.

He gritted his teeth and couldn't help but retort, "Like who? Like me, right? You don't actually think she's me in disguise, do you?"

Leonard's laughter was so intense it was shaking.

"Haha, I just wanted you to divine who she is, I didn't mean to make fun of you."

Klein was not comforted at all.

He felt he had developed some psychological issues due to Leonard's recent sarcastic remarks, and he was determined to apply for financial aid when he returned.

The rest was up to Frye and Klein. They quickly concluded that Tris was Trissy, and Lynch's familiarity with her probably meant he recognized Trissy, which was why he followed her, mistaking it for affection.

"So, I almost got a huge credit back then?"

Lynch seemed very annoyed, but everyone thought that as a Sleepless, he would have been easy prey for Trissy, and it was fortunate that he didn't recognize her.

Lynch pretended not to hear and followed Dunn and the others to empty Trissy's house of all its belongings before calling the police to handle the case.

Then they can go home.

Lynch didn't go directly back with Klein, but instead went to Khoy University first to visit Mr. Azik and tell him what had happened that day.

Mr. Azik listened attentively to his story, then nodded as if confirming something, saying, "You're not wrong; it was others who influenced you!"

Lynch: "..."

Never mind, if he's not wrong, he's not wrong.

He was absolutely right!

"Isn't that right? I'm such a quiet person!"

Lynch wholeheartedly agreed, and then he and Mr. Azik gave Ince Zangwill a good dressing down before leaving Mr. Azik's office, where he was in a relatively good mood.

The Tussock River flows through a small town, which is the first stop on the route from Tingen to Backlund.

Trissy had changed into a beige dress and boarded the train with her luggage. Her beautiful face earned her a lot of preferential treatment.

Once she was comfortably seated in the window seat that someone had specially made room for her, she finally had time to think about why the young man had reminded her of something yesterday.

It felt familiar, yet she couldn't recall where she'd seen it before. Surely it wasn't because he was handsome that she was attracted to him?

But the other person clearly knew her, and had even kindly reminded her twice, so... it was that guy!

The culprit who dragged her into the Divine Child incident—only he would help her, because he was afraid she would reveal the other party's identity.

Okay, okay!

He actually had the nerve to show his face, almost causing her death!

Trissy gritted her teeth, wanting nothing more than to report the other party, but remembering the warning they had given her, she angrily abandoned the idea.

Lunatic!

This Lunatic, despite being an official Beyonder, still did such a thing. His god will surely punish him; she won't save him!

You Lunatic!

Trissy cursed under her breath again, then closed her eyes and finally began to rest.

Of course, her Spirituality quickly awakened her, and after a few stops, she got off the train, intending to find another platform to go to Backlund.

After she disembarked, official Nighthawks entered her carriage. They compared Trissy's face with each passenger's, and upon learning that she had disembarked early, they rushed off the train to search for her in the vicinity.

at the same time.

At the base of Saint Selena Cathedral, Klein sensed the digestion of the Potion Seer.

Last night, he saw a vision of Trissy running away in his divination, and he thought Trissy had already run away, so he regretfully gave up. It wasn't until this morning that he realized he should have seen a vision of today's daytime, and he missed the divination.

Although he quickly informed the captain, he was certain that they wouldn't be able to catch Trissy.

Therefore, divination is not a panacea; this is an experience he has summarized.

However, his face quickly turned bitter.

"How am I supposed to play the Clown Potion? I can't just go to the circus like Lynch suggested, can I?"

He suppressed this thought; what he needed now was to quickly take the Clown Potion.

He had some concerns before, worried that if he digested the Potion too early, it would be discovered that there was a problem. But with Lynch's example, it didn't seem so strange that he digested the Potion in a month.

Moreover, just as Lynch said, he didn't want to be left alone in Tingen. Everyone else was going to Backlund, and it was really worrying for him to stay in Tingen.

He needs to be at least a little faster than the captain; if he reaches Sequence 7 before the captain can convincingly portray the Nightmare, he can leave Tingen.

The problem then will be about the captain and the Holy Cathedral; in any case, he's not staying here as captain.

Who knows, the Holy Cathedral might make an exception and allow Captain Sequence 6 to stay here too!
