1364 Proactive Klein (2/2)
too.” Audrey added with Gehrman Sparrow's former explanation.
”To a Low- or Mid-Sequence Beyonder, the remnant mental imprint of the former owner of the characteristic is relatively more dangerous.” Klein picked up the gold-lined cup and took a sip. ”This is the cruel law of the mysterious world. This is because our Beyonder powers come from external objects, from the Beyonder characteristics.”
Audrey nodded before shaking her head gently. As she contemplated, she said, ”I don't think it's that pessimistic, just like the source of every human life comes from something else: air, bread, meat, water, etc.
”When we absorb them, we will also absorb their negative effects, accumulating all kinds of problems that eventually make us fall sick. However, this doesn't mean that we have to completely resist them and treat them as external objects. Once they're absorbed, there will always be some part of it that belongs to us.
”I didn't express it well, but I believe you should understand what I mean.”
Klein was taken aback for a moment before replying thoughtfully, ”A Beyonders acquisition of a Beyonder characteristic is like humans having food?
”Then, one should have peace of mind and not have too many repulsive thoughts; it's about resisting it, but also working alongside it; and suppressing it, but also fusing together with it?”
”Roughly like that.” After Audrey said that, she laughed self-deprecatingly. ”However, this also seems to imply a negative message: humans will eventually die, but Beyonders…”
She didn't finish her sentence, unwilling to agitate the patient opposite her.
She switched topics and said, ”Pay a visit another two times this week. I'll be able to stabilize you under normal conditions. Yes, normal conditions.
”Also, you can reminisce about things when you're free, or go somewhere you yearn to go.”
Klein nodded and said, ”What do you have in mind about Wrath's suggestion?”
The smile on Audrey's face slowly disappeared as her expression gradually turned serious.
”Do you have any suggestions?”
Klein put down his teacup and calmly said, ”Strictly speaking, the danger you bring is divided into two categories: One is when you actively or passively involve yourself in certain matters, attracting powerful enemies to your side, implicating your family, relatives, friends, and the innocent. The other is that your very existence allows some factions to target the people you value the most, doing so to threaten you.
”For the latter, unless you're dead, there's no way for you to ever avoid them. Of course, most of these things are a result of the former.
”If you give up on all your current identities in the mysticism world, and only be Mr. Fool's believer and Miss Audrey Hall from now on, no longer taking the initiative to participate in matters related to Beyonder or other matters with unpredictable elements, you can avoid most of the risks of the former and drastically reduce the latter.
”Under such circumstances, with the Evernight Goddess favoring the Hall family, and Mr. Fool's protection provided to you is enough to deal with the rare instances of dangers, ensuring your family's safety.
”That's why there's no need to split off another identity.”
Audrey fell silent for a while. She bit her lower lip indiscernibly and asked, ”What if I do want to split off an identity?”
”As long as you let that identity believe in Mr. Fool, it's not much different from what I said just now. The only difference is that, from this point forth, you'll have to stay away from your family and friends and live with another identity.” Klein's voice sank slightly as he said in a serious tone, ”Also, are you really fine with Hermes splitting off an identity for you?”
Audrey's emotions were disrupted by this question. Her eyes flickered as she said, ”However, splitting identities should be a Beyonder powers of a Sequence 3 Dreamweaver.”
She definitely wouldn't be able to accomplish it by herself.
The corners of Klein's mouth curled up as he suddenly asked, ”You're able to use that Pride mask to enter the Garden of Eden directly?”
As Audrey couldn't take the initiative to mention the Psychology Alchemists, he very directly pointed it out.
Audrey nodded gently, surprised, puzzled, and guessed something.
”I'm unable to pay the equivalent price, and…”
Without waiting for her to finish, Klein said with a cold expression,
”On the one hand, Adam has drifted from Mr. Fool and nearly killed me. On the other hand, with the apocalypse approaching, Mr. Fool has prophesied something: when the time comes, 'He' might fall asleep again. As 'His' Blessed, I won't be able to escape a similar fate. The payment you need to pay is that, when such an anomaly happens, perform certain dangerous things according to Mr. Fool's instructions and try hard to awaken 'Him.'”
Without giving Miss Justice a chance to digest this sentence, Klein extended his right hand and grabbed a few times at the void ahead of him, pulling out a grayish-white, cold persona mask.
Using his status and Audrey's trust in him, he forcefully summoned the projection of the Pride mask from the Historical Void.
”It's connected to my mind, so no one else can use it.” Audrey subconsciously pointed out the problem when she saw this.
”Give me a strand of hair,” Klein said calmly.
Audrey didn't think too much about it. She plucked out a strand of blonde hair and handed it to Gehrman Sparrow.
Klein took the strand of hair and wrapped it in the eye holes in the persona mask.
Then, he held his silk hat in one hand and the grayish-white mask in the other as he slowly stood up.
During this process, he mobilized Sefirah Castle and ”Deceived” the rules.
Pa!
Klein wore the Pride mask without facing any resistance. Immediately, he saw human-clothed animals walking upright.
He had entered the Garden of Eden directly.
Looking at the black cathedral in the middle of the city, Klein curled his lips and took out the Staff of the Stars and wore the silk top hat over his head.
