In the Backlund Bridge Area, Klein, using the location provided by the messenger, found the man who had been seduced by Trissy and was helping her "send and receive" letters.
However, Klein did not enter the apartment building or disturb his target. With his hands in the pockets of his black trench coat, he continued walking forward.
Under the glow of the gas streetlights, he walked to the intersection and turned into another block.
During this process, inside a building, a rat that was stealing food suddenly trembled.
It immediately abandoned the cheese and headed in the opposite direction of Klein along its usual "path," approaching the target area.
Then, the mouse, hidden in a corner, opened its mouth and made a human-like sound:
" The Blessed of the sea and the Spirit World, the Protector of the Rorsted Archipelago, the Ruler of Undersea Creatures, the Master of Tsunamis and Storms, the great Kavithua..."
No sooner had the rat finished speaking than Klein disappeared, having already turned into another street, leaving only a wisp of fire that quickly dissipated.
He used " Flame Jump," but not to travel quickly. Instead, he went to his pre-arranged hotel room to meet one of his Marionette. So, he didn't need to worry too much about being sensed by Zaratul and encountering an accident. After all, his goal was clear, the journey was short, and he was protected.
Inside the room, under the watchful eye of the Marionette Enuni, Klein took four steps backward and arrived above the Gray Fog.
As he sat down at the head of the long bronze table, he summoned the " Sea God Scepter " and, with the aid of the "Prayer Light" and " Spirit Vision," began to observe the situation of the man who was relaying messages for the Witch Trissy.
A few minutes later, Reinette Tinekerr appeared at the apartment as agreed, took the gold coins, and left the envelope on the table.
The man trembled with fear once again, but eventually overcame his fear, picked up the letter, and weighed it in his hand.
Fifteen minutes later, he carefully took out the black paste-like substance, separated a small piece, and smeared it on the surface of the mirror.
Soon, he saw the girl who occupied all his beautiful dreams in the dim mirror, and hurriedly said:
"That mad adventurer just sent a letter; it seems to contain something else, but as you instructed, I didn't open it."
At this moment, the scene Klein saw above the Gray Fog began to exhibit strange and mysterious aspects.
In his vision, the mirror itself had become blurred, more like a dark, illusory, and unreal passageway. It connected with similar objects in the surrounding area, forming a complex and abstract "spider web," weaving together a profound and bizarre "world."
Klein, who gained " Spirit Vision " through the Gray Fog, could barely make out the general situation, but he couldn't distinguish the details. He was unaware that strange and terrifying creatures seemed to be lurking in that "world".
"In the occult, mirrors are often symbolized as gateways to another 'realm,' and are frequently associated with horror and suspense... Is this the ' Mirror World '? My extraordinary abilities don't involve this area at all... No, if someone prays to me and tries ' Magic Mirror Divination,' then a phantom passage from the Mirror World ' will naturally point to me, to the Gray Fog..."
Strictly speaking, the ' Mirror World ' isn't a real world; it's more like a collection of 'doors,' connecting different mirrors and different mysterious realms. If you get lost inside, you might end up in the ' Abyss,' or even the Starry Sky... Of course, Demigod with this ability could probably create a mirror world and hide inside...
"A collection of 'gates'... Besides Witch and Wraith, do High-Sequence powerhouses on the ' Apprentice ' path also possess similar abilities? Does the 'secret' in ' Secrets Sorcerer ' represent, in part, the ' Mirror World '? It's mysterious enough, and Concealment enough... Normally, even through ' Spirit Vision,' one cannot directly see the ' Mirror World ' unless someone activates it..." Klein nodded thoughtfully, hearing the Witch Trissy's sweet voice respond:
"Throw the letter into the mirror."
"Can it even be thrown in?" As Low-Sequence Beyonder, the man had never witnessed such a miraculous thing before. He hesitated for a moment, then took the letter and pressed it against the mirror.
On the surface of the mirror, the darkness suddenly spread out in layers, like ripples on water.
The man had just felt the solid touch lighten when he saw the letter miraculously pass through the glass surface and enter the illusory, swaying interior.
Immediately afterwards, as if drawn by a massive vortex, the letter continued to fall deeper and deeper, towards the room where Trissy was.
Above the Gray Fog, Klein raised the " Sea God Scepter," intently tracking the letter, trying to pinpoint the Witch's location.
At that moment, in his " Spirit Vision," the dark and deep " Mirror World " experienced violent fluctuations, blurring everything.
By the time the turmoil subsided, Klein had lost all trace of the letters and the Witch Trissy.
"The aura of the ' Primordial Demoness ' can even interfere with this kind of gaze..." Klein was silent for a moment, then let out a sigh.
Because of Trissy's many strange qualities, he did not risk mixing his own hair into the materials to locate her, as this could easily result in a terrible curse and possibly instant death.
For Klein, dying suddenly was no big deal; as long as his body wasn't completely destroyed, he should be able to revive. But that meant he wouldn't be able to seize the opportunity to lock onto Trissy, who would inevitably relocate quickly. Wouldn't that be a complete waste of a precious resurrection opportunity?
Frustrated, Klein quickly returned to the real world, leaving the Backlund Bridge Area.
The next morning, Klein, with his ordinary-looking face, took a carriage to Saint Samuel Cathedral.
He planned to inform the " Evernight Goddess " about the Witch Trissy by chanting her name and praying softly. That way, if something unexpected happened on the night of the Full Moon, at least there would be a deity watching over Backlund and some preparations in advance.
The " Evernight Goddess " was the one who Exile and sealed Mr. "Door" back then, so she must have been very clear about his tricks.
In similar matters, Klein has never been one to overreach himself and has a very clear understanding of his own abilities.
If you can't solve the problem yourself, then find someone who can to help!
As for why he didn't do it at home but instead went all the way to Saint Samuel Cathedral, it was because Klein wanted to take the opportunity to observe the situation on Böklund Street and in the surrounding area, looking for any subtle signs of Amon's arrival.
Hibbert and her family had all had entanglements with Amon, and she herself belonged to the " Marauder " pathway. Whether it was a matter of Fate or a combination of traits, she would be a high-risk person to encounter Amon. Klein dared not be negligent or careless about this, and his reminder and arrangement for himself was to come over for a check-up every once in a while.
Similarly, since Miss Justice helped Hibbert heal her psychological trauma several times afterward, if Hibbert had any problems, it would easily affect her. Therefore, Klein was also very worried about the safety of this noble girl and thought it necessary to check on her condition from time to time through Crimson Star. Of course, he would avoid the more awkward times.
As his thoughts wandered, Klein, who was already close to Phelps Street, disembarked from his carriage and had his Marionette Enuni, go to a secluded spot to chant the name of the " Sea God."
He then switched places with the Marionette Qonas, and within a " Distortion " enclosed space, he took four steps backward and entered the Gray Fog.
Then, with the help of the " Sea God Scepter " to magnify his " Spirit Vision," he carefully observed the situation on Böklund Street and inside the " Loen Charity Bursary Foundation."
" Hibbert wasn't ' Parasitism '... Miss ' Justice ' wasn't either... Their maids, pets, and bodyguards weren't either... Neither were the residents of Böklund Street nor the staff of the ' Charity Bursary Foundation '... There's no trace of Amon's activity on any of the streets in this area..." Klein breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the real world.
Then, he approached the Saint Samuel Cathedral, went through the doors, and found a seat in the dimly lit and quiet Great Prayer Hall.
After softly reciting the revered name of " Evernight Goddess," Klein briefly described:
"... The Witch Trissy obtained a strand of hair from a descendant of the Abraham Family and plans to contact a Concealment being on the night of the Full Moon, though the specific purpose is uncertain..."
After sitting quietly for a while, seeing that the goddess did not respond and the archbishop did not come out, Klein put on his silk hat and slowly walked out of the church.
At night, he changed locations, controlled a mouse as Marionette, and chanted the name of another deity:
"Great God of War, symbol of iron and blood, master of turmoil and strife, I wish to meet you..."
As before, the rat died as soon as it finished praying, and Klein then distanced himself.
He wanted to meet with the " Red Angel " to discuss Mr. "Door" and the " Dark Angel " Sasrir.
After waiting for a few minutes, Klein, with the help of another mouse Marionette, saw the one from before suddenly burst into flames, spewing out blazing white flames.
The flames swiftly traced a short sentence across the ground:
I don't want to see you.
... Klein's facial muscles twitched almost imperceptibly.
After a moment's thought, he rationally gave up and left the area.
After several tens of seconds, the remaining blazing white flames formed new words:
Beg me.
By this time, Klein had already gone far away.
Inside a house in a certain area of Backlund, Sauron Einhorn Medici, stood up from the sofa.
He frowned slightly and said to himself:
"Who's bothering me...?"
Before long, Backlund welcomed the night of the Full Moon.
In a room bathed in Red Light, the Witch Trissy stood within an altar, surrounded by ritual materials such as rubies, sapphires, emeralds, diamonds, pearls, and lapis lazuli.
After some rather complicated preparations, she lit a strand of hair in her hand and placed it into the large cauldron.
When the firelight was tinged with darkness, Trissy stepped back two paces and solemnly chanted in Jotun:
"The Great Door of All Doors ";
" The Guide of the Endless Cosmos;"
" The Key to All Mystical Worlds..."
