When Klein opened his eyes again, all the threats and pleas in his mind had vanished, and the pale blue flame in front of him was still burning quietly on the black candle wick.
He carefully examined the state of his own spirit and confirmed that all traces of chaos had disappeared, and the color of his aura had become pure and no longer mottled.
Finally, it's resolved... Klein breathed a sigh of relief, put down the " Sea God Scepter," snapped his fingers, and extinguished the " Nightmare Candle " instantly.
He didn't return to the real world immediately. Instead, he sat quietly above the Gray Fog for a while, calming and dispelling the remaining negative emotions in his heart in this place where no sound could be heard.
Through this experience, Klein gained a deeper understanding than ever before that the path to transcendence is a path that constantly confronts madness and danger. All Beyonder, if not careful, may be on the verge of losing control and developing mental problems under the influence of internal factors or external stimuli. Once the symptoms appear and are not addressed in time, it becomes extremely difficult to save them.
The emergence of this alternate personality is due to both internal and external factors... The source is that I am a transmigrator, but I have also merged with fragments of Klein Moretti's memories and some of his emotions, so I naturally have a latent tendency towards personality splitting. In addition, recently, in order to Stealing the Antigonus Family Notebook and to Acting Dawn Dantès, it can be said that I am walking on the edge of Abyss, and the pressure is enormous. After being mentally polluted and stimulated by the out-of-control internal guardian, the problem immediately erupted... Klein raised his hand to rub his temples and disappeared into the Gray Fog.
As soon as he returned to his body, Klein suddenly felt much lighter and clearer, as if a dusty pane of glass had been carefully wiped clean, and the extra " Faceless " Potion he had taken had been completely digested.
The emergence of the alternate personality was indeed triggered by various previous psychological problems. This time, using the " Nightmare Candle " to solve the problem was equivalent to undergoing a comprehensive and effective " Psychoanalysis." In the short term, there will be no hidden dangers in this regard. However, he still needs to pay attention at all times, adjust himself more, and not be careless... Klein walked out of the bathroom and onto the balcony, gazing at the distant mountains and the nearby greenery. He was in a very good state.
He could clearly sense that his self-awareness and self-identity had deepened, and the detachment he often felt had diminished considerably.
I never imagined that winning the battle against the alternate personality would have such benefits... If it weren't for the fact that the alternate personality would reappear stronger and more difficult to deal with, I would have liked to split my personality a few more times and kill "myself" a few more times... Klein shook his head and chuckled, making a self-deprecating remark.
Frankly speaking, for anyone else, this single instance of personality split would be extremely dangerous and difficult to resolve. It was only because he knew where the " Nightmare Candle " was, how to obtain it, understood the essence of the problem, and had experience in dealing with it that he was able to eliminate the hidden danger in time and prevent the alternate personality from growing. Otherwise, the best outcome would be the same as that of Bishop Utravsky, and the worst outcome would be a gradual loss of control that would be irreversible.

Moreover, I have a " Psychiatrist " on standby... Klein chuckled softly, walked slowly back to his room, and sat down in his armchair.
He reflected on today's events again, extracting points he needed to be mindful of in the future:
"If the Mid-Sequence of the ' Sleepless ' pathway gets out of control, it can directly pollute people's minds by pulling them into Dream Divination. We must be careful in the future..."
Most out-of-control individuals, except those at High-Sequence, cannot do this. They are often mutated into Monster who control or attack targets through extraordinary abilities, making it difficult for them to transfer the contamination they have received.
Besides the " Sleepless " pathway, which allows Mid-Sequence out-of-control individuals to do this, the " Spectator " pathway should also be able to... When encountering similar enemies, if you don't eliminate them first, you really won't know how to defend yourself... Also, although I've figured out the state of the internal guards and their relationship with the sealing core, a corresponding problem has arisen: if I want to disguise myself and infiltrate, how can I create the appearance of being corrupted by the sealing core without being detected by it... Klein thought about it carefully for a while, but had no ideas at all. He had no choice but to stand up, walk to his desk, pick up a pen, and draw a composite symbol of Concealment and voyeurism on a piece of white paper.
He is summoning the " Magic Mirror " Arrodes.
Invisible ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the full-length mirror in the master bedroom, and specks of silver light leaped out, outlining the Loen language:
"Great and supreme master, your loyal, humble, and obedient servant Arrodes is always ready to serve you."
"My previous actions have damaged your current image to some extent. I am very apprehensive and ashamed. Can you accept my apology?"
This time they actually realized they were wrong... Klein scoffed.
Don't make the same Error again next time.
"Okay!" a new word popped out from the surface of the full-length mirror, "How can I help you?"
"Yes," Klein said after a moment's thought. "The internal guardians of the Church of Evernight have been corrupted by the power of the sealed core behind the Chanis Gate, and their condition is different from that of ordinary Beyonder. Is there any way to perfectly disguise this?"
Those silvery-white words wriggled and changed, outlining entirely new content:
"Great master, there is only one way: sacrifice your Marionette, let it be eroded by the power of the sealing core, gradually change its state, and make it consistent with those internal guardians. Then you can incorporate it into your body, Deceit the sealing core."
That's an idea... However, a Marionette made from Sequence 5 " Wraith " is so rare that even money can't buy it... Obtaining the recipe and materials for High-Sequence Potion definitely requires a huge price... Klein thought for a moment and said:
"So, how do we get the Marionette to accept the erosion of the sealed core?"
Normally, the " Wraith " Marionette might be detected by the sealing power and forcibly Purification or dispelled as soon as it approaches Chanis Gate or appears in the Great Prayer Hall!
On the surface of the full-length mirror, ripples spread again, reflecting a human figure.
The figure wore an old-fashioned veil, was tall, and had long, chestnut-colored hair; it was none other than the " Mystery Queen," Bernadette.
"Great master, you must seek her help," Arrodes explained, piecing together the silver words.
"Her? The ' Mystery Queen ' isn't part of the ' Evernight ' pathway, so how could she offer help? Or perhaps she possesses a Sealed Artifact, corresponding to High-Sequence of the ' Evernight ' pathway, similar to the sealed core behind the Chanis Gate? Perfect timing! The ' Admiral of Stars ' needs a drop of blood from Mythical Creature. Besides providing Will Auceptin with something to satisfy Him, he'll also have to pay my 'brokerage fee'... This is the 'brokerage fee'!" Klein nodded thoughtfully.
"Very good, you can go back now."
"Yes, great and supreme master, your loyal and humble servant Arrodes awaits your summons once more." As the silvery words appeared, Arrodes also sketched a hand holding a handkerchief, waving it incessantly, on the mirror.
Klein's lips twitched slightly as he watched, momentarily at a loss for how to react.
In the West Borough, inside the Odel Family's villa.
Emlyn White, with a faint smile, casually found a single sofa in the living room and sat down.
Diagonally opposite him, another Sanguine Baron Ruth Báthory, held a goblet filled with blood, his eyes narrowed as he stared at him, his disgust and hatred undisguised Ruth Báthory had not only been injured himself while hunting the first " The Moon Primordial " follower, but Emlyn had also stolen his spoils.
"Your performance only pleases me..." Emlyn chuckled inwardly, glancing sideways at Kasimi Odora as he entered, awaiting the Baron's announcement of the results and the award.
Kasimi forced himself to ignore Emlyn's gaze, walked to the front of the fireplace, and addressed all the Sanguine present:
"The reason I've summoned you here is because the hunting competition has determined its final winner."
Who? The Sanguine looked around, glancing at each other, trying to guess who had won.
Their attention was mostly focused on Ruth Báthory; almost no one thought it was Emlyn White. Only Ruth Báthory vaguely guessed what was going on, his gaze fixed on the damned guy with astonishment.
Kasimi sighed quietly and said:
Emlyn White has hunted down three targets, automatically securing victory.
"What?" a young Sanguine blurted out, unable to believe it.
Sanguine are a race whose numbers are far fewer than those of humans, and in Backlund, they constitute only a portion of the race. Therefore, they are quite familiar with each other.
Everyone knows what kind of Sanguine Emlyn is!
