1156 Thinking (2/2)

After regulating his breathing, Klein threw away the animal hide lantern in his hand. Leaning against a thick stone pillar, he barely managed to imagine layers of spherical lights.

He didn't care about the dangers of sleeping in such an environment.

Let the danger come strike harder! Before he fell asleep, Klein shouted in his heart.

The black-robed Amon glanced at him before casually sitting down beside him and snapping ”His” fingers.

The candle that was about to burn out in the lantern stopped melting, but the dim yellow light continued to spread.

Despite only having fuel to last a few more minutes, it seemed to be able to last another few hours or even days.

It was like an error that violated the laws of nature.

After for an unknown period of time of feeling groggy, Klein finally recovered his energy and was woken up by Miss Magician's prayers.

He was temporarily unable to respond to this. He closed his eyes and pretended that he was still dreaming.

Without being ”Parasitized” at a deeper level, I don't think Amon can monitor my thoughts. ”He” can only tell if my thoughts are harmful to ”Him”… With a thought, he secretly summoned the grayish-white fog.

He had borrowed a state from his past self through the Historical Void, a state that wasn't directly meant for escaping.

That was when Hvin Rambis invaded his island of consciousness.

This attempt wasn't stopped or stolen.

Using this state, and the fact that he was able to maintain his lucidity in dreams and the mind world regardless of any intrusions, he split a portion of his self-awareness and stayed in the spiritual sky, calmly looking down at the island.

He began to examine if there were any abnormalities in his mind and thoughts that were being parasitized.

After a series of strict comparisons, he confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his mind world.

In other words, even if there was still a Worm of Time in his body, it was still considered being parasitized at a superficial level. It was impossible to monitor his thoughts.

After finding such a ”safe zone,” Klein finally released his repressed thoughts and analyzed the current situation. He considered the subsequent methods for self-preservation.

Amon is a God of Mischief and also a God of Deceit. It's impossible that ”He” is playing this game purely for his entertainment… If ”He” really wants to do that, ”He” can definitely wait until ”He” meets with ”His” true body and steals my fate. ”He” can attempt it after obtaining Sefirah Castle. That way, even if something unexpected happens, ”His” main goal will also be achieved and ”He” wouldn't suffer any losses…

What is ”His” goal behind this matter? If I can grasp the crux of the matter, I might be able to discover true freedom…

Also, after ”He” recited the luck enhancement ritual incantation in Mandarin, ”He” actually didn't show any concern towards this special language, nor did ”He” ask any questions. This totally doesn't match the sense of curiosity that ”He” portrays…

Uh… Did ”He” deliberately use the word ”Bug” to probe me… so as to see what connections I'll make…

But ”He” didn't steal my thoughts. No, if all my ideas are disjointed from one another, I wouldn't be able to discover that they've been stolen…

Klein recalled the situation back then, and he used the logical connections between his thoughts to confirm that he hadn't had his thoughts stolen.

This made him confirm one thing:

That was, that being ”Parasitized” at a deeper level, Amon could directly monitor his thoughts without stealing it!

Amon made it seem that he had to notice malintent before he took action. It was a bluff!

I knew it, this deeper level of ”Parasitization” seems to be different from what Pallez described…

Based on this deduction, the thoughts that I've been thinking of along the way have been heard by Amon, including Earth, fellow Earthling, and child education…

How terrifying…

Thankfully, when I was plotting to destroy the advancement ritual of George III, I had imagined the perilous situation of being ”Parasitized” by Amon. Half of my thoughts were my instinctive reactions, while the other half was intentionally let loose. This way, not only do I reveal my secrets, but I can also use this to gain Amon's ”trust,” concealing the most important and core matters.

For now, ”He” definitely knows that I plan to obtain more historical secrets from ”Him” so as to quickly digest the Scholar of Yore potion. However, ”He” doesn't know that I'm not far from being able to fully digest it. I'm just a few steps short or just one opportunity away…

Did Amon deliberately remove the parasite and play such a game with me because ”He” had once heard of Earth from the ancient sun god and had come into contact with some secrets? He plans on using my attempt to save myself to complete certain matters that might be inconvenient or impossible for ”Him”? If that's the case, there will definitely be something happening next…

Yes, I have to show that I didn't notice this and still plan on escaping like a normal person.”

Once I've returned to my optimal state, I'll make my first ”attempt”! After a while, Klein opened his eyes.

The pointed hat-wearing Amon sat beside him and smiled at him.

”Have you decided? When are you going to take action?”

”He” acted as if ”He” was Klein's partner and not the target from which Klein was trying to escape from.
