" Pleasure " is Sequence 6 of the Witch Pathway. Klein obtained its complete recipe when he Spirit Channeling Madam Shermane. Although he usually finds it difficult to recall the specific contents and can only reproduce them with the help of Dream Divination, he still feels familiar and makes associations when he hears the main ingredients it contains.
He couldn't help but glance at the buyer, confirming from his skin color, build, voice, and the unobstructed outline of his face that the person was male.
The prerequisite for becoming a " Demoness of Pleasure " is " Witch." Regardless of one's original gender, once that hurdle is overcome, one becomes female. This person is clearly not a " Witch "... He hasn't become a "Witch" yet, so why is he seeking the main ingredients for becoming a " Demoness of Pleasure "? Hmm... Is he buying them for someone else? Is he a partner or loyal subordinate of some " Witch "?
However, as a rather ancient and Concealment organization that has survived to this day, the Demoness Sect shouldn't be lacking in the necessary materials. Given their nature, using the Beyonder Characteristic left behind by previous members to concoct Potion is normal practice... Has the " Witch " behind the buyer lost contact with the organization?
Amidst a flurry of ideas, Klein felt a strong urge to follow the other person.
But after careful consideration, he rationally abandoned the plan. Putting aside whether he could bypass the " Eye of Wisdom's" defenses and track the other party's whereabouts, the fact that the other party's situation was unknown and there was no time to do Divination was enough for him to choose to follow his heart.
What if there's more than one " Witch " over there, or other more powerful Beyonder?
Moreover, it's a good thing for a " Witch " to be promoted to " Demoness of Pleasure." The former would spread disaster and harm many innocent people, but once she becomes the latter, her goal is " Pleasure." Simply put, the harm to society is less... Klein muttered.
The silk glands of an adult Giant Widow Spider are already considered a relatively precious and rare extraordinary material, much like the mutated pituitary gland of the Thousand-faced Hunter's brain and the Human-skinned Shadow that Klein needed to advance to Sequence 6. They are roughly equivalent to half a house in a good location in the capital. Therefore, the buyer did not receive a satisfactory answer.
To be precise, no one gave him an answer.
The atmosphere at the gathering fell silent until the chubby Apothecary began selling the potions he had brought.
After his previous attempts, he gained many repeat customers, and in less than three minutes, he sold out all the items he could sell, earning more than £50 in cash.
As the " Eye of Wisdom " announced the end of the gathering, the participants left one after another through different passages in different orders and at different intervals.
Klein, positioned in the middle section, detoured to another quiet street to remove his disguise and immediately headed towards the East Borough. He arrived at Black Palm Street in the cold night, amidst a mix of smells, and entered his rented one-bedroom apartment, buying a gun holster along the way.
Without taking a break, he took out his revolver, opened the metal box containing extraordinary bullets, and took out two " Purification Bullets," two " Demon Hunting Bullets," and one " Exorcism Bullets." He inserted them into the holes one by one and set the firing position to the empty magazine.
After assuming his stance and testing the feel and firing mechanism, Klein tucked the revolver into his armpit holster and busied himself with other preparations:
For example, check if there is anything unusual about the " Eye of All-Black " inside the iron cigarette box; for example, put the Azik Copper Whistle into the iron box containing bullets, and with the help of Holy Night Powder, create a closed Wall of Spirituality that adheres tightly to the surface, thus completing the shielding of that ancient and exquisite copper whistle.
After confirming the shape and position of each of the three talismans, Klein went above the Gray Fog to perform Divination, then put on his baseball cap and went out again.
His target was 32 Williams Street in the Bridge South Borough, the place where the thief found the " Master Key "!
There might be clues there about the Apprentice's next recipe or related items. Klein had wanted to explore there for a long time, but he suspected that the guy who died tragically had become Wraith spirit, so he didn't dare to take action until he had bought the " Purification Bullets ".
Magician don't perform unprepared acts!
Before the Steam subway ceased operation, Klein reached the Bridge South Borough in this most cost-effective way, and then transferred to a horse-drawn carriage to reach the vicinity of Williams Street.
It was late at night, and a light, biting rain was falling in Backlund. There were almost no pedestrians on the streets, and the light from the gas streetlights was hazy and indistinct due to the liquid clinging to their glass surfaces, making everything look like a dream.
Klein circled around the house, carefully observing the situation, then went to its side, climbed to the second floor, and easily entered the target's interior through the balcony door that the thief had previously opened but could no longer close.
He didn't bring the " Master Key," fearing that the item might cause an abnormal chain reaction here.
The layout of this house is the same as usual, with a corridor connecting the balconies on both sides running through the entire second floor. On both sides are bedrooms, bathrooms, sunrooms, living rooms, and other rooms.
Bathed in the crimson moonlight streaming through the balcony, Klein saw that all the doors were open, and the room was a mess, with various items scattered all over the floor.
It must have been that thief from before. He couldn't take everything, so he could only search the most valuable items... But he had the " Master Key," so he shouldn't have needed to Door Opening... Klein checked each room one by one, looking for anything that might be related to the mysterious realm.
After an unknown amount of time, wearing black gloves, he arrived at the stairwell empty-handed.
He had only taken two steps down when a figure suddenly caught his eye!
The figure was pressed against the wall at the corner of the stairs, with its back to Klein, its thick black hair almost covering its neck.
Before Klein, who had already activated his Spirit Vision, could even observe, the figure suddenly moved!
His neck creaked and cracked as he turned his head, while his body remained facing away from the second floor!
In the hazy, faint, and illusory crimson light, the figure's eyes bulged out, filled with terror.
Snap, snap!
The two eyeballs fell to the ground.
Bang!
The figure's head detached from its neck and crashed onto the wooden stairs.
It was already dead, devoid of any Spirituality light... Klein watched calmly, judging as if everything that had just happened was merely a farce.
Based on details such as the other person's worn black clothing and the numerous open rooms on the second floor, he deduced that this was another thief, the one who had broken into the house after the previous burglar.
Unfortunately, he wasn't so lucky.
Could it be that the " Master Key " is actually restraining the "danger" here, and everything will erupt once it's taken away? Klein drew his revolver, adjusted the firing position and trigger, and walked up the stairs step by step to the side of the corpse.
He crouched down and performed a brief examination, but could not find any other cause of death besides a broken neck.
After a few seconds of hesitation, Klein straightened up and carefully descended the stairs, making no creaking sound even though they were wooden steps.
One step, two steps, three steps, he climbed the stairs and stepped onto the ground.
Before him was a corridor connecting the two sides, where crimson Moonlight shone in, vaguely outlining the shape of the balcony. On both sides of the corridor, doors were wide open, revealing a messy scene with items scattered inside. There was no living room, no dining room, and no kitchen.
This is the second floor!
Klein went down the stairs from the second floor, but ended up back on the second floor!
And during this process, he didn't notice anything unusual!
Klein remained calm, slowly turning around to see that the stairs behind him led downwards!
In other words, my special ability can only counteract extraordinary abilities that directly invade my Mental Body Mind World, such as Dream Divination and Spirit Channeling, or the perception that the environment I am in does not belong to the real world... I will still be affected by hallucinations... Klein took out a matchbox and flicked a few matches with the hand that held the gun.
He continued down the stairs, throwing a match every few steps.
Klein returned to the corner of the stairs and saw the corpse with its head separated from its body once more.
Just then, a chilling wind suddenly blew up the back of his neck, making his hair stand on end.
Snap!
Klein snapped his fingers, and a crimson flame shot up from behind him, hurtling towards the roof.
The flames burned like a menacing Monster, yet they didn't burn anything.
Just as Klein was about to turn around and use his Spirit Vision to observe, his body suddenly stiffened, as if he had fallen into a frozen lake in winter.
He couldn't help but tremble, his left hand slowly reaching for his own neck, but he forcefully "pressed" it back down.
At that moment, Klein suddenly sighed softly.
He forcibly reached his left hand, which he had been holding back, into his pocket, dispelled the Wall of Spirituality, and opened the metal box containing the bullets.
Immediately afterwards, he grasped the Azik Copper Whistle, took it out, gave it a hard shake, and threw it into the air below the stairs!
Almost instantly, he felt the coldness and stiffness in his body disappear.
In his Spirit Intuition, a sinister and chilling thing sprang forth, like a dog playing fetch, and pounced on Azik Copper Whistle!
Klein's lips curled into a smile. He raised his right hand, aimed at the bronze whistle, and pulled the trigger, speaking softly:
"Bye-Bye."
Bang!
The pale gold Purification Bullets flew out and accurately struck the cold, indistinct object.
A scream rang out, and golden flames outlined a human figure in mid-air!
In the warm, bright light, all the coldness and evil vanished quickly.
when!
Azik Copper Whistle landed, bounced a few times, and rolled into the living room on the first floor.
Klein looked around and noticed that things were different now. For example, the corpse's head was not separated from its body, and it had strangled itself with its hands.
"Heh, being prepared makes things much easier..." Klein chuckled, descended the stairs again, and easily reached the first floor. He picked up the Azik Copper Whistle and flicked it twice to determine if there were any other Wraith Specter here.
After confirming that there were no more problems, he determined the direction and went directly to the basement.
After descending the stairs and passing through the door, he saw the scene he had witnessed in his Dream Divination, and he saw the brown notebook placed on the long table.
