Chapter 269: A Fascinating History

A ring? I have seen it before...

The power of divination was activated, and Klein saw more.

The sapphire gradually faded away, and another scene appeared: a Witch was praying to a Dream Statue, full of emotion and expression, far more pious than Klein could ever imagine.

But what was even stranger was the feeling this Witch gave off.

Klein wanted to see more clearly, but that was all there was.

Her skin gradually petrified, her hair began to grow longer, and her eyes turned pitch black.

Boom!

Klein's spirituality exploded, and he felt a terrifying malice, as if the catastrophe of the world's destruction had descended; Klein felt the fear of Doomsday.

His spirit shattered instantly.

However, amidst a ripple of Grey Fog, his body turned into a petrified Paper Figurine, while his true self had already appeared on the other side of the bronze table.

That is... Klein dispelled the scene showing Trissy's figure in disbelief, not daring to look again.

"That ring..." Klein recalled the scene of divining the "mutated Sun Holy Emblem"; how similar that time was to now?!

"Is that an item related to a True God? A drop of God's Blood?" Klein reached this conclusion.

"The evil god worshipped by the Witch Sect is the 'Primordial Witch', so what I saw was the 'Primordial Witch'?"

"But how could the 'Primordial Witch' pray to a Dream Statue?"

Klein felt his brain couldn't keep up.

An evil god praying to a Dream? This kind of thing had overturned Klein's understanding of the world.

"Primordial Witch"? There seemed to be a record in the Roselle Diary, called "Cheek"? A man's name, but thinking of that gender-bending Potion...

Klein reached out and summoned those pages of the diary. He read through them quickly.

"Dream and the Goddesses, including the 'Primordial Witch', have an abnormal relationship..."

Starting from those explosive diary pages, Klein made more guesses.

"The 'Primordial Witch' was once a believer of Dream, and then she... ahem, laid hands on her own faith?"

Klein's expression was strange, but based on the information he possessed, this deduction was inexplicably reasonable.

"What a fascinating history..." Klein felt no fear from the encounter just now; instead, he was full of interest.

This power of a True God had failed to kill him, but just like last time, it had brought him quite a bit of information.

In that very instant, he had actually gained more than just that secret; he had also obtained the Potion Formula for the "Assassin" Pathway's "Assassin", "Instigator", "Witch", and "Joy Witch".

Klein recorded this knowledge, treating it as an accumulation of mystical knowledge.

But at the same time, he thought of one thing, which was the particularity of the "Dream" Pathway. From the information obtained, the Witch Sect had a very deep understanding of the "Dream" Pathway, and there was a great possibility they would take action against Beyonders of the "Dream" Pathway.

"So the Witch Sect might specifically target people from the Dream Sect? Kidnap them and throw them on the bed? Hiss!" Klein had a sudden thought.

"... Dream is indeed a good thing; I must protect myself well when I go out in the future!"

Klein took quite some time to calm his mood, calculated the time, and at one o'clock sharp, summoned all the members of the Tarot Club Above the Gray Fog.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool..." "Justice" Audrey's greeting was always pleasant.

Klein nodded slightly in response.

Then it was Mr. Fool's diary-reading time. It did mention quite a bit of hidden information, but there was no more news that could be called explosive. A pity.

This segment transitioned smoothly, followed by the trading segment.

Miss "Justice" spent a huge sum of money to purchase Beyonder materials at the Tarot Club, and then Mr. "Hanged Man" took the order, preparing to craft them into a Magical Item.

"I have a commission here, with the location limited to Backlund." Klein controlled Mr. "World" to speak.

"What is it?" Both Miss "Justice" and Miss "Magician" were very interested in this.

"Investigate a Witch named Trissy. It is now certain that her location is roughly in the East District."

"World" manifested a portrait, and "Magician" took note of it. She wasn't good at it, but she had a professional at home.

Klein decided to act cautiously after learning that Trissy had already discovered them; neither he nor Leonard would appear in that neighborhood again.

Afterward, Miss Sharon and Maric would investigate in their stead, and the Tarot Club would also follow up in secret. He believed it wouldn't be long before there was news of Trissy.

Afterward, Klein calmly watched the members' exchanges.

The lowest Sequence in the Tarot Club had already reached Sequence 8, and there would likely be another improvement soon. Klein suddenly felt the gratification of an old farmer looking at his own thriving wheat field.

This gathering did not last very long and ended quickly.

Klein sent the members away and still felt his Spirituality was full.

After becoming a "Mirror Knight", his Spirituality could support him for more time.

"I need to find more members for the gathering and expand the base."

Klein made this decision, and soon he felt the corresponding deep red stars above the Grey Fog.

These stars represented one person after another; one only needed to gently touch these stars to establish a connection with the corresponding person and pull them Above the Grey Fog.

Klein closed his eyes, followed the guidance of his Spirituality, and tapped lightly; he happened to touch a certain deep red star.

"Let me see..." Klein extended his own Spirituality toward the deep red star.

An image of a man in his late twenties began to appear Above the Grey Fog. Although it wasn't very clear, Klein could still see some basic things.

Black hair, red eyes, good-looking...

Klein nodded slightly, and then he saw many... dolls.

Klein raised an eyebrow; he had almost misread it. Those life-sized dolls were too realistic; looking at them Above the Grey Fog, they appeared to be real people.

"This is..." Klein looked at the doll the man was dressing in his hands. This doll was very special, so special that Klein felt a certain connection to it even Above the Grey Fog.

"Is this doll the connection between this person and the Grey Fog?"

"Was it the same for Miss 'Justice' and the others when they held such items and were pulled Above the Grey Fog?"

Klein had a feeling that he only needed to reach out his hand to pull him into the Grey Fog.

"Looking at the state of his spirit body, he should be a Beyonder, and his Sequence won't be lower than mine."

"However... I seem to have seen these physical characteristics somewhere before."

Klein quickly found the corresponding record, which came from the evil cult information provided by Bishop Chumen.

"A Vampire, or rather, a 'Pharmacist' Pathway?"

Klein had a certain guess.

"No rush, observe for a week first."
