Chapter 376: A Shift in Attitude

The Dream Church these past few days has been exceptionally different, as if it had been renovated from the inside out.

All the Dream believers are able to vaguely perceive the sound of chanting rising within the church, cleansing the soul of every believer.

A few days ago, Klein activated the Scripture, brought it up from underground, and placed it beneath the Dream Statue.

The two intertwined to stir the aura of the Dream Sea, giving the Dream Church the constant feeling of being a God's Kingdom on earth.

"Very good." Klein nodded in satisfaction as he felt this power. This "Dream Scripture" actually possesses the fanatic Characteristic of the "Supreme Dream" entity; under the permeation of Dream Phosphor, ordinary people's faith in the "Supreme Dream" will grow with each passing day.

"Bishop, Your Excellency Saint Anthony of the Evernight Church invites you to visit Saint Samuel Cathedral." A clergyman walked behind Klein and reported.

"Mm, I know. Help me prepare the carriage; I will head over in a moment."

It must be said, he still feels closer to the Evernight Church.

Just as Klein turned around, his Spirituality suddenly stirred; he seemed to see a lady praying within the Grey Fog.

"They are right outside the church?" Klein was surprised.

Everything she knows about the relevant information comes from Fors's relaying, including the prayer just now; Fors wants her roommate to leave a good impression in front of this formidable gentleman.

"The Augustus Family wants to make a move against me? Didn't they invite me to the palace just a few days ago to explain the Dream Scripture to them?"

"In that case..."

"In the last few days, MI9 has been frantically searching for news of Mr. World; they might be planning something detrimental to him."

"Oh no! Didn't Mr. World know? Why did he still go out!" "Magician" Fors saw John Constantine board the carriage.

He looked at the ball of light from the prayer; it was actually that Miss Judgment. However, beside her, Klein also saw Miss "Magician." It was likely that this lady taught Miss Judgment how to pray.

"Is this Mr. World?" Xue stood on tiptoe, watching the carriage bearing the Dream Badge depart.

"... Respected Mr. Fool, please tell Mr. World that he must be careful of MI9 when going out recently..."

"My biggest move in these last few days was organizing this mass... Is it that?"

Klein materialized a reply from "World" to give to Miss Judgment.

He did not seem to care much about the news that MI9 was plotting against him.

Klein's eyes flashed, and some doubts arose.

Afterward, he made some preparations and sat in the carriage driven by a Paper Figurine, departing from the Dream Church to head toward Saint Samuel Cathedral.

She was only allowed by Mr. Fool to participate in the Tarot Club and had not yet formally experienced it.

The change in the Augustus Family's attitude was something Klein had not anticipated.

Klein intuited that a very great secret was hidden within this, but the lack of corresponding knowledge made him unable to reach a further conclusion.

"But if he really is the powerful Beyonder you say he is, then he must have made preparations." Xue judged calmly.

"Why?" Klein frowned in thought.

Klein walked to the washroom with a normal expression and performed the Reverse Four Steps to arrive Above the Gray Fog.

And the place where they were located felt vaguely familiar.

"Eh? That seems right too!" Fors also nodded. "Then should we follow them?"

"We watch from afar?" Xue was somewhat tempted; she urgently wanted to understand everything about the Tarot Club.

"Don't worry, you have me!" Fors took an old book out of her lady's small backpack.

"Good!"

The two quickly hailed a carriage and followed far behind Klein's carriage.

The carriage traveled steadily until, when nearing the middle of the journey, Klein inside the carriage suddenly opened his eyes.

Everything within his perception was fading, becoming gray and dark, but a certain power of Sleep and tranquility was spreading.

"'Nightwatcher'?! Or a corresponding Sealed Artifact?"

Klein felt that he had already entered a bizarre domain.

This was exactly the same as the Nightwatcher domain Klein had seen several times.

Klein jumped directly out of the carriage and looked up to see a field of stars.

This was indeed a "Nightwatcher" domain, isolating him from the outside world.

"Who are you?! How dare you attack the Dream Bishop!?"

Klein's expression sank as he shouted lightly; combined with his status, this was actually quite intimidating.

It was just that the attacker clearly did not want to talk to Klein and attacked directly.

Klein did not see a person, only a patch of Shadow. In the Shadow's hand was a strange handgun; it was gray overall and several sizes larger than an ordinary revolver.

It had a total of six barrels, each quite thick with deep muzzles, and its cylinder was embedded with a dozen ugly rivets, possessing a sort of rugged aesthetic.

The moment Klein saw it, it erupted.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

The peculiar handgun let out a roar of Despair, as if tearing at Klein's spirit, and that black storm of bullets enveloped Klein entirely.

"Which noble sent you? Daring to make a move on me, are you not afraid of death?!"

Klein let those bullets shatter his body.

Rip!

Klein's body was completely pulverized in the storm of bullets.

But all that remained in the air were a few fluttering, burning paper scraps.

"It's good that you've come in." The Paper Figurine acting as the Coachman suddenly gained true vitality.

The one who had gone out before to bait the attack had always been the Paper Figurine; the real Klein was driving the carriage.

This was a form of precaution and vigilance; knowing that someone might make a move against him, he had already made preparations.

"What I feared most was actually that you would trap me here directly, causing me to miss the meeting with Your Excellency Saint Anthony."

At this moment, Klein appeared very arrogant, showing not the slightest respect for his enemies, even if the other party might be a Demigod.

Yes, his lowest estimate for enemies is a Demigod; after all, Sequence 5 is not quite enough to look at in his eyes.

Klein flicked his sleeve and threw out a sleeveful of Paper Figurine, among which the most familiar ones were the Leonard, Sharon, and Maric that Klein used frequently.

After becoming a Puppet Master, he didn't even think about hunting for puppets; that was also because his Paper Figurine had, to a certain extent, already replaced the position of puppets.

This replacement in terms of Causality could even allow Klein to complete the corresponding acting.

And compared to puppets made from enemies, these Paper Figurine had more convenient and unexpected Characteristic.

Now the attacks from the opposite side paused slightly; the Paper Figurine Leonard had already activated Enter Dream, and the Paper Figurine Sharon also disappeared to perform Wraith Possession.

Hmph... with a muffled groan, the Paper Figurine Leonard's Enter Dream was broken free from, and the Paper Figurine Sharon's Mirror Jump actually failed as well.
