Psychiatrist

In fact, according to the original storyline, this God of Steam and Machinery truly learned his lesson from Emperor Roselle, and at least seven years later, he never considered raising Melissa to be Angel.

However, just as she warned Klein, Stiano's understanding on this matter clearly differed from theirs, and no one could guarantee that he wouldn't come up with a new idea after the shift in stance.

After confirming that Klein took the matter to heart, Neph brought up Benson again:

"Your brother... well, your brother is quite talented too."

"I think you can rest assured about him for now. He's doing very well at the Ministry of Finance, and the higher-ups think highly of him. He's just waiting for the current deputy director to be promoted or transferred, and then he'll be the new deputy director of the Fifth Department."

"It won't take long. From what I understand, the current deputy director should be going through the procedures..."

"... That does suit Benson quite well," Klein shook his head helplessly, a relaxed smile finally appearing on his face. "When I first proposed the government employee exam, I never imagined he'd get this far."

"I'm thinking," Neph said, a slight smile playing on her lips as she stared at Klein, "That when you go to see your brother and sister now, will you use them to advance your wish progress?"

"Then I might as well use you to brush," Klein rolled his eyes. "Miss ' Pure White,' what is your wish?"

"A wish..." Neph's expression was slightly blank. She was silent for a few seconds, then gave a cryptic smile. "What's the point?"

Klein frowned slightly. He wanted to say something, but Neph didn't give him a chance. She rested her chin on her hand, leaned forward, and said:

If I had to say what my wish is...

"Mr. Fool, may I see the Mythical Creature Form?"

"... What?" Klein was stunned.

Stared at by her with such interest, Klein felt a strange sense of shame, as if he were naked. He instinctively raised his hand to cover himself and asked uneasily:

"What are you going to do?"

"I want to see tentacles," Neph said.

"...?" Klein stared at her for a few seconds, and after realizing she wasn't joking, a look of indescribable fear crossed his face. "You know what I'm thinking, right?"

Neph blinked and smiled.

"I promise I won't use your image for anything," she said.

Despite the utter lack of credibility in her promise, Klein ultimately granted her wish. Looking at the tentacles formed by the intertwining of transparent worms, Neph sighed softly, saying with a touch of melancholy:

"Sometimes I'm curious, what does the world look like through Stiano's eyes? His Honorific Name contains the phrase 'the embodiment of essence,' does that mean the world he sees is the most fundamental madness and chaos?"

"Hmm, thinking about it that way, His actions back then aren't entirely incomprehensible..."

Klein ignored her comment. Seeing Neph's regretful expression, he returned to his original demeanor, staring at her and saying, "If you don't know what you want to do next, come with me."

This wasn't a question; his tone was firm, an invisible thread of authority transforming it into a command. Neph frowned at him, then nodded hesitantly.

She appeared beside Klein in an instant, glancing sideways as she asked, "Where are we going?"

Klein shook his head, maintaining his smile, and didn't answer, but instead walked purposefully in one direction.

Neph frowned and followed behind him. Klein entered the Steam Train station and, seeing Neph's blank expression, spoke softly:

"Hello, could you please help me find a train ticket to Tingen City? I need the earliest one."

He glanced back at Neph, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Two second-class seats."

Despite not understanding what he was going to do, Neph blurted out, "I don't want a second-class seat!"

Steam Train of the present era can be divided into three classes: first class, second class, and third class. However, even the most luxurious first class is not much better. If it weren't for others present, Neph wouldn't even want to ride Steam Train.

So, she conveyed her desire not to ride the Steam Train into Klein's mind.

But Klein ignored her and firmly told the hesitant ticket seller, "Second class, please."

>p/<: He couldn't bear to ask Funa, so he gave her a bunch of tickets. He took two tickets and paid for them. Funa stared at him, glaring.

>p/<"? What are you going to do? I need to get to you"

>p/<. Open your mouth and calm down Enlek". Tomb Sweeping"

"... can I just blink once?" he asked Funa. "Why do we need to get in the car?"

>p/<. "I've got real money, but I don't think you've got much to worry about," she interrupted Enlake, "Fennet"

>p/<"? What relationship do you have with me? This is something I need to do, but," Funa frowned, noticing me.

>p/<"? Okay, let's go first, if you don't want to": she said, thinking for a moment Enlake

>p/<: He was unwilling and reluctant, and after considering the explanation, he realized that he hadn't truly understood. He stared at Funa with furrowed brows.

>p/<. Okay..."

>p/<"... Chu Qing explained, 'I haven't finished cleaning the grave yet, but...'"

>p/<. Xinmei rubbed her aching head, looking slightly Enlake. "Chu Qing explained, 'You'll give me...'"

>p/<: She turned around and started probing from another angle, but after a short while, she finally gave up.

>p/<"? What a long queue! Who's going to sweep the grave and ask you for help?"

>p/<". Grave sweeper Yana and Chilve went to get me", Funa glanced at it, shook her head at Enlake, "No"

"... The death of a classmate was recorded because of two people, and you are this one," he seemed to think, looking at Funa with slight hesitation, "... these two people seem to care about this identity."

>p/<: Dao asked in the opposite direction, nodding slightly Enlake

"They shouldn't have understood you."

Right?

"I think the story you remember probably started after I woke up."

Neph nodded, confirming his guess.

He remained silent until the Steam Train pulled into the station, at which point he stood up and said, "Let's go."

Although Neph didn't understand, she followed. From the moment she got into the car, she frowned, curled up in a ball, seemingly trying to avoid contact with her surroundings—if Klein hadn't seen her hand brush against the seat, Klein would have suspected she wouldn't have sat down at all.

Surprisingly, despite her unusual reaction, no one noticed. They remained quietly in the noisy carriage, and no one paid them any attention until the train arrived at the station. Only then did Klein stand up and say to Neph:

"Have you always been like this?"

"What?" Neph looked at him, puzzled.

"How so?" Klein asked cautiously, "Not wanting to waste words with people you consider unimportant?"

Neph paused, frowned, and tried to recall, then said uncertainly, "No..."

After a brief pause, she said somewhat blankly, "No... I haven't always been like this..."

She looked up at Klein, Klein looked at her and asked, "How long has it been since you spoke to someone outside the 'plot'?"

Neph fell into deep thought. She lowered her head, pondering. Klein waved for her to follow, reminding her, "Watch where you're going."

Neph instinctively replied, "I won't get bumped into..."

"I told you to watch where you're going." Klein stopped and stood there staring at her.

After a few breaths, Neph gave in. "Alright."

She walked quietly, and as Klein had hoped, began to pay attention to the road conditions and pedestrians, temporarily setting aside her Beyonder Ability. She no longer tried to pass through walls, pedestrians, and vehicles, but she seemed to have not done so in a long time, and the station was a relatively crowded space, so at first she actually had quite a hard time walking, constantly brushing against others.

This actually made Neph very uncomfortable; her brows were almost knitted together. Klein, seeing this, felt a headache coming on and reached out to protect her, trying to separate her from the others as much as possible. But Neph had already vaguely understood his intention and shook her head, saying:

No need.

"This thing..."

She gritted her teeth and said weakly, "It's part of my instincts too."

Upon hearing this, Klein silently withdrew his hand and watched her continue walking.

When they stepped out of the station and gained a brief moment of silence, Klein asked:

"Did anyone remind you?"

"Which aspect are you referring to?" Neph asked back.

"Your question just now..." Klein tried to organize his thoughts, "... you seemed to be... well, how should I put it? The influence of Divinity on you doesn't cause you Affliction or discomfort, because this influence is more subtle, more gradual, you can't even perceive it..."

"... I know," Neph shook her head, "Actually, I've known this for a long time."

She looked at Klein, her gaze turning cold. "My Lord warned me long ago that as I inherited the Authority from my mother step by step, her will was also 'digested' by me..."

She stood there, her voice becoming low:

"... I knew it all along, and I had a feeling it all along; I was getting closer to Him step by step..."

"But... I was... no, I was alert, but it didn't seem to help, like you said, it was too subtle, and most importantly..."

Neph looked around, observing the world anew after a long absence, her voice tinged with weariness:

"Do you really think it makes any sense just because I noticed it?"

She asked Enlake, "Why?"

>p/<: Daishen Funa

>p/<. It's truly meaningless to worry about anything in this world, not like you and me, sir.

>p/<... In reality, however, I have many opportunities to create them, and before I became half-godlike, this was not the fundamental problem.

>p/<. The deepest ravine opened up this world, and I, with my own hands, began to carve it. At that moment, I said, "God is myself," and at that moment, I first appeared, "The God who abandoned the earth."

>p/<"... Quickly, quickly, I hope I can, quickly, there is more progress in the accident I know because, I am very anxious at that time... busy with the medicine to eliminate the demon, busy with the promotion, yeah... the 'abandoned god' outside the earth"

>p/<". It's too fast, it seems like I'm going to walk a long way, but: she smiled lightly, then stopped.

>p/<. You originally had a chance to start over, but you didn't do anything, and most of that time was spent making you an angel, which took a long time, I remember,"Enlake shook his head as he headed towards the public transport, "You originally had a chance to start over."

>p/<"? Can you still be so genuine now, given how different you are from before?" Funa sighed. "You're right..."

>p/<: He sighed, shook his head helplessly, and then choked on his words, saying something that Enlake hadn't said.

>p/<"... Okay, that's it. You understand now. So, what changes happen when things happen? If I can't find the answer to the question, I'll just leave it at that."

>p/<. Saying Funai. "Let's continue sweeping the grave, let's continue next"

>p/<: Dao smiled and said it was perfectly reasonable, spreading her hands as she looked back at Enlake with a puzzled expression.

>p/<? Do you still maintain the old habits? Do you still maintain the old social relationships? Besides your sister and brother, you, after Enlake became Ruiming, have you... Mr. Fool, look at me staring at the light."

>p/<"? This grave was swept clean before, and you went back to the city of Argentina. The foolish man said, 'If this is true, then it's still a part of the story.'"

>p/<"Let's go": Sigh, dumbfounded

Enlake's face hardened, his expression turning solemn. He slapped his forehead hard, and then, as they sat in the carriage, their hidden spirits were reawakened.

Mouth:</p>

"I suddenly remembered something very important."

"... What?" Klein hesitated, a growing worry creeping into his voice.

"I have no money," Neph said.

"...?" Klein ignored her and looked away.

Neph tried to draw his attention back. "Hey, this is really important."

"Now I understand why Psychiatrist are prone to mental illness themselves," Klein rolled his eyes. "If all patients were like you, they'd either go crazy or be driven mad."

"No," Neph shook her head, "' Psychiatrist ' have mental illnesses because of apex dominance."

Her choice of words was as odd as ever. Klein took a moment to understand the phrase "apex advantage," and his lips twitched involuntarily. He rolled his eyes at her.

"That reminds me, that one's crazy too... Speaking of which, He's been..."

"I don't know," Neph said. "I'm waiting for an oracle."

She paused for half a second, then suddenly looked at Klein and reminded him:

"Oh, right, you remember to warn the members of the Tarot Club..."

>p/<"? Did you mention it? -- The news is coming soon, the end of the day is approaching, think about it."

>p/<"... The six paths of the divine origin are related to the matter of the aftermath": continued speaking, then Funa nodded, Enlake

>p/<: She continued, her brows furrowing.

>p/<"... The bloodline of the clan or the divine deity has received something, the divine deity is small, he reminded him especially? This is the path of Lim Ede I remember... I don't want to explain too much, why is it so dangerous... this path is very dangerous."

>p/<: Dao asked, head raised, seconds later Enlake pondered.

>p/<"... Is he there, uh... it seems like him, that guy Cranford, those things... I remember from my research, let's talk about it."
