1290 Fulfilling Wishes (1/2)
Putting away The Fool card, Klein took out Creeping Hunger from the void, equipped it to his left hand, and activated ”Teleport.”
After returning to the miniaturized city library, he immediately said to the Servant of Concealment, Arianna, ”It has been thrown into the abandoned palace on the main peak of the Hornacis mountain range.”
That was an entrance to the foggy town.
As for how to deal with 0-02 later on, it was the Church of Evernight's problem.
”Alright.” Arianna nodded and didn't say anything else. ”She” entered a ”Concealed” state and vanished, as though ”She” had been erased.
”She” didn't thank him, nor mention any payment. It was just like how ”She” had never made any requests when ”She” helped Klein in the past.
Does Ma'am Arianna know that I've obtained The Fool card? Klein looked around thoughtfully and slowly sighed in the darkness.
Although the supernatural incident had been resolved in less than two hours, there were still quite a number of people who had lost their lives under the strict ”rules.”
The Belltaine citizens had more or less committed certain mistakes, but the punishments they suffered were far more disproportionate to the crimes they had committed. The most innocent party in the matter were the tourists who came or passed by Belltaine. They had to face a nightmare simply because they were foreigners.
Klein had tried his best to do some things to protect many outsiders, including Roy and the others, but he was also limited in what he could do due to the restrictions he suffered. There weren't many loopholes that could be made use of, making it impossible to make it seem like none of that had ever happened.
What I need to do next is to mainly provide treatment to the survivors… Klein retracted his gaze and planned on ”Teleporting” to Biles's house to deal with the remaining problems.
At that moment, Reinette Tinekerr, who was holding four blonde, red-eyed heads and was wearing a dark and complicated long dress, walked out of the void. One of the heads bit onto a black goat's horn.
”'He'…” ”Escaped…” ”The spirit world…” The remaining three heads of Miss Messenger said.
”As expected of a former chief shepherd.” Klein, who had long sensed it, sighed without any surprise.
Then, he pointed at the black goat's horn.
”Did Larrion leave that behind?”
After Klein received the item, Reinette Tinekerr's head that hadn't spoken earlier said, ”Yes.”
After encountering the curse of deformity, ”He” had still managed to barge out of the encirclement and escape from the spirit world. ”He” is indeed powerful… Is this a Sequence 2 angel who's best at fighting head-on? Klein flicked his wrist, causing the black goat horn in his palm to shatter into countless tiny specks of light as it dissipated, dispersing the remnant psyche.
The limbs left behind by a Beyonder after them undergoing a ”Transformation” contain a portion of their Beyonder characteristics that couldn't return to the main body.
When the points of light were reassembled from Sequence 9 to Sequence 7, as well as a Sequence 4 Beyonder characteristic, Klein chose the Sequence 8 Pugilist from it and returned the rest to Miss Messenger with a smile.
”These are your spoils. I'll only collect the intelligence fee.”
Reinette Tinekerr didn't stand on ceremony. ”She” raised one of the blonde, red-eyed heads and had it open its mouth, absorbing the Sequence 9, Sequence 7, and Sequence 4 Warrior Beyonder characteristics.
After watching Miss Messenger leave Belltaine, Klein ”Teleported” back to Biles's home and smiled at Roy and company.
”The problem has been resolved. You are no longer foreigners who have to be treated with animosity.”
The four Beyonders were just about to respond with heartfelt and relieved smiles when they saw the magical Mr. Magician invite a stranger from the air.
It was an old man with a dark red bow tie. He wore a shirt, vest, formal suit, and blue striped trousers. His hair remained thick despite it being all-white. His aura was warm and elegant.
This was the marionette, Hvin Rambis, whom Klein had once possessed. He planned on using this Manipulator to seal away their memories of 0-02.
Not being corrupted by a sefirah didn't mean that Biles wouldn't encounter terrifying matters when he recollected the matter!
As there was only one relevant period of memory for Biles, and he didn't know the truth of the matter, what Klein needed to do was rather simple. Therefore, he didn't seek Miss Justice's help. He planned on using his marionette's Historical Void projection to complete it.
”You didn't tell them about what happened in the city library, right?” Klein got Hvin Rambis to walk to his side as he asked Biles.
Biles hurriedly shook his head and said, ”I remember your advice.”
”Very good. Next, I'll give you some psychological treatment. I'll help you forget all those matters. Otherwise, you'll be targeted by 0-02 and never be able to obtain peace until you die. Believe me, Sealed Artifacts at this level can definitely do something like that—even if it has been taken away,” Klein explained his goal frankly.
Biles's lips quivered as he said, ”Alright.”
He chose to obey and believe.
After inviting Roy, Pasha, and Phil out of this rental apartment, Klein controlled Hvin Rambis to do a series of mental control processes and successfully made Biles forget the brass book he had seen, as well as the contents on it.
After doing this, Klein carefully took out the magic mirror and looked at it.
”Arrodes, are there any other hidden dangers?”
On the surface of the ancient silver mirror, the aqueous light flickered and reflected a line of silver words:
”Great Master, there aren't any latent risks in Belltaine. As for other places in Loen and Feysac, as it involves 0-02 itself, I'm unable to see it clearly.
”Perhaps you can confirm it yourself?”
”Alright.” Klein nodded slightly, took out a gold coin, and softly chanted the corresponding divination statement.
