Chapter 268: Honesty

"But the people of the Dream Sect are too difficult to deal with; even if they don't show it, I can't distinguish who is truly favored..." Trissy encountered a dilemma before she had even begun.

Trissy put the Sapphire Ring on her hand and stroked it gently.

With no results from racking her brains, Trissy could only shelve this matter for the time being; she needed to go out to stock up on daily necessities.

Trissy entered a state of invisibility, drifted out from the window, and landed on a patch of land not polluted by domestic sewage.

She was hiding in the most chaotic East District of Backlund, which was the safest place for her.

"Hmm?" Trissy hadn't walked more than a few steps before she felt the anti-divination setup on her body being triggered.

"There's an enemy!" Trissy subconsciously stroked the Sapphire Ring in her hand.

This ring granted her powerful anti-divination abilities, which was also the most important reason she had been able to escape the pursuit of the Witch Sect.

"Go and see!" Relying on the Sapphire Ring and her own "Joy Witch" witch abilities, Trissy performed a counter-tracking of that divinatory power.

Perhaps because the distance between the two was truly too close, Trissy soon found the source of the divinatory power.

She injected spirituality into the Sapphire Ring, completely hiding her figure.

"Those two people are Nighthawks from Tingen!" Trissy suddenly felt a bit panicked.

Introducing the power of the Nighthawks in Tingen to deal with a Demigod was the most reckless move she had ever made, and the result was not good either; she had underestimated the power of a Demigod and was still dragged back to the Witch Sect.

If not for that terrifying existence, she would likely have already been sacrificed to that "Primordial Witch" by now.

"How did they find me?" Trissy dared not get too close.

Just as she was sizing up one of the gentlemen, a different kind of emotion suddenly surged in Trissy's eyes.

That emotion was so strange, yet it was something Trissy could not resist; it emerged from the depths of her soul, like seeing a clear spring in a dead, silent desert.

Trissy's brain was sharp enough; staring at that gentleman, she had a corresponding speculation: "A true Dream believer..."

Trissy looked at Klein and even couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"At that time, the Witch Demigod's attitude toward him also seemed a bit strange, and there was that bizarre ability..."

Information about Klein kept surfacing in Trissy's mind, and then she confirmed it.

Her body became stiff, and she felt unimaginable fear; how could she encounter a true Dream believer right after she had interpreted the corresponding knowledge?!

Is this a coincidence? Or is it Fate!?

Neither coincidence nor Fate are good words, especially for someone who was once controlled by 0-08.

Her body stiffened in place, unable to advance or retreat.

Reason told her she should retreat, but her body and spirituality were both yearning for the Dream Light.

A Dream believer possesses the favor of Dream, which can basically be equated to Dream Light.

Information regarding Dream is like poison; once one understands it, one will develop a craving for it, involuntarily wanting to approach the Dream believer, wanting to seize that power of Dream.

"Eh?" Klein put away the gold coin he had used for divination, looked around, and found nothing.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Klein's actions, Leonard became alert.

"My spirituality seems to have been touched..." Klein shook his head slightly and explained, "But it's very strange; there is no definite directionality."

Spiritual directionality is an ability possessed starting from Sequence 9 of the "Dream" Pathway; it has evolved continuously with the increase in Sequence and spirituality, and it is already quite outrageous.

"Perhaps someone is divining you? Is it from the 'Demon' side?" Klein had lured and killed a demon dog, which subsequently led to the demon gathering being wiped out.

Those demons would inevitably learn of Klein's existence, and the malice within that goes without saying.

"It's possible." Klein nodded gently; without more information, he could only guess like this.

Klein and his companion staked out for half a day, found no suspicious characters, and could only leave first.

Half an hour after Klein and his companion left, Trissy finally walked out from a corner, not even having lifted her invisibility state.

"Dream believers have extremely keen spirituality; any bit of malice will be perceived, like the 'Malice Perception' of a demon."

Trissy observed for a long time and also obtained some intelligence.

"Should I..." Trissy looked conflicted.

Actually, after asking this question, she already had the answer.

Her body was much more honest than her mouth.

Klein returned home to prepare for the afternoon gathering.

He performed the Reverse Four Steps to arrive Above the Gray Fog, quietly pondering today's investigation; he was very concerned about that strange spiritual intuition.

With no results from his thinking, Klein had to follow his plan to manifest Arrodes above the gray fog—because he didn't trust it enough, Klein still didn't quite dare to sacrifice a mirror possessing extremely high intelligence to the gray fog.

That kind of outrageous intelligence and the power to peek at things below Angel level coming above this gray fog—it wouldn't be strange even if it directly seized control of the gray fog.

Of course, part of the reason was that he had to maintain the status of the "Fool"; if Arrodes saw the "Fool" eavesdropping while running an alt account, it would be troublesome...

"Matters related to this mirror..."

Klein began to perform a dream divination on this mirror; after seven times, he closed his eyes and fell into a dream.

What met his eyes was a piece of darkness—no, it should be a piece of chaos; in the lightless darkness, a point of light appeared, constantly moving upward, appearing on the ground, merging with the surrounding matter, and finally becoming a mirror.

The scene shifted; the mirror was picked up by someone, worshipped because of its mystery, and finally fell into the hands of the Church of Steam.

The last scene was a fair hand reaching out, fingers tapping lightly on the mirror surface.

"Coming from underground, then obtained by the Church of Steam, becoming a Sealed Artifact, and finally falling into the hands of Bishop Chumen?" Klein made an interpretation.

"No valuable news." Klein shook his head, waved his hand to disperse the mirror, and focused his spirit on himself; he wanted to divine the strange spiritual intuition he had perceived today.

"My encounter today..." This kind of divination was more like reviewing the memories of the day under the powerful enhancement of the gray fog.

Half a day's memories flashed by quickly; Klein focused his spirit on that instant, and then his pupils shrank—he saw the invisible Trissy!

The magical gray fog once again displayed its powerful strength, seeing the Trissy who had been concealed.

"Trissy was right beside us at that time?!" Klein only felt his spirit body tightening; the feeling of such a terrorist staring at him from right beside him was not good at all!

Why?

Klein stared intently at the scene manifesting within the Grey Fog, his gaze falling upon that Sapphire Ring.
