At 160 Böklund Street, after watching Leonard fly out of this " Concealment " world with the " Words of the Sea " cane in one hand, Klein turned his attention back to his surroundings.

The first person he examined was the " Winner," Enuni. He thought that the Marionette, after being " Parasitism " by Amon, was no longer usable, but to his surprise, he found that he could Manipulation the other party's " Spirit Body Threads " again!

This... Klein was taken aback at first, then quickly understood why:

Will Auceptin 'Snake of Fate " Restart " caused Amon's condition to regress, and also caused the things he " Parasitism " to undergo the same change. As a result, " Winner " Enuni became Marionette again!

As expected of the strongest ability of the " Monster " pathway Sequence 1... Klein breathed a sigh of relief, his figure quickly becoming transparent and fading away from the spot.

He " Teleportation " back to the master bedroom, leaving a bunch of Marionette scattered around to guard against any unexpected events.

Immediately afterwards, Klein entered the washroom, ascended above the Gray Fog, and once again used the prayer light of " Winner " Enuni, holding the " Sea God Scepter," to inspect the situation of the entire block.

Undoubtedly, he focused his observations on his own mansion and the house at number 39, discovering that the butler Walter, the housekeeper Taneja, Councilor Macht, Madam Liana, and several male and female servants all showed signs of " Parasitism " and appeared somewhat stiff.

Hibbert nearly collapsed completely, supporting herself with her hands on the ground, retreating to a corner, pressing herself tightly against the wall, curling up in a ball, trembling.

Congressman Macht and others noticed something was wrong with her and gathered around her with concern to find out why.

However, whenever they tried to get closer, Hibbert would scream and resist violently, frightening them so much that they could only stay several meters away, anxious and panicked, not knowing what to do.

During this process, they would occasionally push up their glasses or pinch their eye sockets, which terrified Hibbert, who knew that she would soon lose control.

When Klein, who was above the Gray Fog, saw this scene, he was also inexplicably horrified and imagined a picture:

Father Amon, Mother Amon, Maid Amon, and Servant Amon were circling around Hibbert, trying to Placate but unable to find a way. They all had the same appearance, the same monocle, and different clothes.

Even if Hibbert managed to stay in control, she would most likely be mentally unstable afterward, at least in a semi-mad state... Urgent intervention is needed... Klein's thoughts raced as he put down the " Sea God Scepter " and returned to the real world.

Böklund Street and the surrounding area remain shrouded in darkness, possessing a sense of peace, tranquility, and depth.

This is a world that has become a "secret".

Klein took off his top hat, put it on his head, and Teleportation to 22 Phelps Street, inside a boardroom of the " Loen Charity Bursary Foundation ".

Audrey had already changed back into her light green dress and was staring blankly at her pen, replaying every detail of the disciplinary action at noon. Meanwhile, the golden retriever Susie had finished her mission and gone out for a walk.

Suddenly, the noblewoman seemed to sense something and raised her head.

Her clear, emerald-green eyes quickly reflected a figure with black hair, brown eyes, a thin face, and deep-set features.

The figure was dressed in a white shirt, black vest, black trousers, and black leather boots. He had a cold expression, his hand on his top hat, and his body slightly hunched.

Audrey was taken aback at first, then quickly remembered who the visitor was.

Gehrman Sparrow!

Although she had never met the person in person before, she had seen the incredibly lifelike portrait on wanted posters in several newspapers.

Based on Miss Justice's reaction, Klein realized he hadn't transformed back into Dawn Dantès. However, he wasn't too bothered by it. He released his hand from his hat, straightened up, and nodded, saying:

"There's something I need your help with."

His disguise was also stolen by Amon, but it was returned after the other party " Restart " it; he just hasn't had time to transform back into Dawn Dantès.

"Mr. World," already Demigod, needs my help? His mental state is acting up again, requiring treatment? No, it doesn't seem like it... Audrey pursed her lips, a mixture of curiosity and anticipation in her eyes. She put down her pen, stood up, and replied earnestly:

"No problem."

Without further ado, Klein walked over, grabbed Miss Justice's arm, and then their figures faded away inch by inch, disappearing from the spot.

A moment later, they appeared outside the living room door of the house at 39 Böklund Street.

Is this " Teleportation "? Audrey's blue eyes flickered slightly, as if she wanted to ask a question, but then she sensed the tense atmosphere and heard a scream suddenly rang out, and her face immediately turned serious.

"Is the patient inside?" she asked confidently.

Communicating with the " Spectator " is easy; there's no need for much explanation... Klein hummed in agreement.

"Yes, she experienced a supernatural event, was greatly frightened, and was on the verge of losing control."

Do you have a way to prevent yourself from being seen by the other people inside?

His later question was actually unnecessary; a large Illusion could solve it. Moreover, once the " Concealment " protection was removed, ordinary people might not retain much of their memories. However, having witnessed Adam's "invisibility" ability, Klein was curious whether the Sequence 6 " Justice " had mastered a similar technique.

Mr. World was curious... He was curious... It's quite rare... He didn't seem to be wearing such a thick "mask," but a thinner one. He's truly a good patient who follows medical advice... Audrey nodded slightly, her chin twitching slightly.

"Can."

As she spoke, she glanced at Gehrman Sparrow, and after receiving a response, she reached out and turned the handle, pushing the door open and entering.

Congressman Macht and Madam Liana completely ignored the beautiful young girl, anxiously discussing calling Doctor, while Hibbert remained curled up in the corner, her body trembling violently, like an abandoned cub.

"Miss Hibbert..." As a seasoned " Spectator," Audrey had no problem forgetting people.

She examined Hibbert's condition, frowned slightly, turned her head, and looked at Gehrman Sparrow, saying:

"Um, Mr. Sparrow, could you briefly describe what happened to her?"

"Only with sufficient understanding can problems be solved quickly."

Klein was prepared and spoke concisely and quickly:

She was Beyonder of the ' Marauder ' pathway, a student of a malevolent Demigod whose teacher provoked the avatar of the ' Blasphemer ' Amon, who killed her and Stealing her Fate and identity.

"As a result, Amon invaded her family, Parasitism her father, her mother, her maid, and her servants. And just now, when we were clearing away Amon's clones, she discovered that her father had become Amon, her mother had become Amon, and all her maids and servants had become Amon. Well, she didn't know that it was Amon, but she understood that it was a strange existence."

"If you have any questions you'd like to explore further, but which don't involve treatment for psychological issues, you can ask at the next gathering."

" The Blasphemer " Amon? "Mr. World" and the others have once again eliminated Amon's clones, no, clones? Audrey was slightly frightened and instinctively turned her gaze to Councilor Macht and the others. She couldn't imagine that they had all been " Parasitism " by Amon and turned into each other.

Her father was Parasitism, her mother was Parasitism, her maid was Parasitism, her servants were Parasitism... Audrey pondered Mr. World's words, growing more and more frightened and chilled to the bone, unable to resist imagining what it would be like if she encountered something similar.

This made her feel a little suffocated, and she subconsciously tried to " Placate " herself.

"Is the extraordinary world always this cruel and terrifying, or is it just a passing phase?" Audrey murmured softly after calming down.

She didn't wait for "the world" Gehrman Sparrow's answer, because having witnessed much at the Tarot Club, she knew the answer perfectly well:

Always!

Looking at Hibbert again, Audrey walked over with pity, knelt down, and first used " Placate ".

Hibbert looked up, slightly bewildered, and saw a flawless face and a pair of emerald-like eyes.

At that moment, she felt as if she had returned to the ball that night, witnessing this young lady "descend" like Angel.

She instantly calmed down, and ripples appeared one after another in her clear, emerald-green eyes, serene, peaceful, and profound.

"Don't be afraid, don't be terrified, it's all over..." Audrey used the technique of " Hypnosis " to communicate directly with Hibbert's Mental Body, heard the hysterical screams, and felt a fear higher than mountains and deeper than the sea.

Based on the other person's condition and experience, she quickly formulated a treatment plan and directly " Hypnosis " Hibbert, making her forget what happened today, forget that she still had a teacher, and only vaguely remember her identity Beyonder and common sense.

Hibbert grew calmer and slowly fell asleep.

"When you wake up, those terrible experiences will be gone, and I was never here." Audrey completed the final step of the " Hypnosis " in a soft voice.

Then, she slowly rose Hibbert for several seconds.

She pursed her lips, didn't turn her head, and said softly:

"I had her temporarily forget the relevant memory, but the memory didn't disappear; it's just latent. In future gatherings, I will continue to treat her, guiding her to slowly remember and accept this memory. Only in this way can her psychological problems be considered resolved. Otherwise, a familiar action or a familiar word might 'awaken' her and cause her to break down again. At that point, she might very well lose control."

"Miss Justice is getting more and more professional..." Klein said, half admiringly and half cautiously.

"Then you need to Hypnosis everyone who has been ' Parasitism ' so that they don't develop hobbies that aren't their own, like liking to wear a monocle."

"Also, have them pray to the ' Evernight Goddess ' in fifteen minutes, requesting complete Purification."

Audrey nodded with unusual seriousness:

"No problem."

Klein then stood to the side, watching as the noblewoman, with the utmost pity, " Psychological Suggestion " at all those who had been Parasitism in the house.

P. S.: I recommend a book, "No Struggle for Survival at the End of the Ming Dynasty." The protagonist is Li Laiheng, also known as Li Chong'er. The story is told from the perspective of the peasant army, and it tells the story of a time traveler usurping the fruits of the revolution. It is truly a tale of the Ming Dynasty (just kidding). Bandits guard the country's gates, pirates die for the state, and the shrewd Ming Dynasty is furious.
