After watching the butler leave the second floor, Klein entered the dining room and glanced around, finding that the male and female servants were much more spirited than usual, even a bit restless.

"Indeed, the 'Life Cane' also affects humans, but it's relatively less extreme, within a more normal and acceptable range... According to this logic, the servants' reproductive ability must have increased. The only problem is that they don't have spouses, so it can't be shown...

"Hmm... could the butler going home today result in an extra child nine or ten months later?... His wife is also nearly forty. Giving birth at this age is a bit dangerous. Of course, as the other party in reproduction, the influence of the 'Life Cane' would spread to her, so it should be fine...

"Hiss, I wonder if the underlying influence makes pregnancy easier. If, after Dwayne Dantès moved in, the birth rate on Berkelund Street noticeably increases, my reputation would be beyond saving..." Klein's thoughts strayed boundlessly, and finally he summarized two points in his mind:

The "Life Cane" is indeed very sinister!

From now on, only take it to the real world for a limited time each day, and try not to affect the surrounding humans!

After breakfast, Klein took his personal manservant En Youni and went to the first floor, preparing to go out for a walk.

At that moment, two second maids were cleaning the hall.

"Good morning, sir." Seeing Dwayne Dantès approach, the two maids immediately rose, cleared the passage, and greeted him.

Of course, if they were in a more remote corner, they would try not to make a sound to avoid disturbing the employer—this was the butler Walter's teaching.

Klein nodded slightly, responded simply, and slowly approached the front door.

At this time, the two maids suddenly saw a stalk of wheat sticking out from the top of En Youni's head, full-grained, golden and tempting.

Before they could take a closer look, the personal manservant seemed to sense something unusual, raised his right hand, and pulled off the stalk of wheat with considerable force.

The two maids exchanged glances, a bit surprised and a bit amused.

In their speculation, En Youni must have accidentally gotten some wheat stalks on him while following Mr. Dantès to the Meyg Estate, brought them all the way back to 160 Berkelund Street, and they scattered into hard-to-clean places in his room, like under the pillow. Then, while sleeping last night, he pushed the pillow aside in his dreams, and a stalk of wheat rolled into his hair, and he didn't notice it during his morning washing and grooming.

This process, though complicated and not easily realized, was at least somewhat probable.

"It can't be that En Youni grew a stalk of wheat himself..." the two maids muttered and continued with their work.

After leaving 160 Berkelund Street, Klein and En Youni walked one after another slowly under the Intis sycamores, whose leaves were beginning to wither, breathing the relatively crisp autumn air.

Similarly, some neighbors were also out for a morning stroll.

Of course, this was not a habit of high society; last year, the smog had been severe and the air acrid, and no one wanted to waste time on the streets facing cold wind and a damp feeling.

As neighbors, encountering each other inevitably led to greetings. As they passed, a barrister caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye of Dwayne Dantès's personal manservant raising a hand to cover his mouth and nose, as if yawning.

After this mixed-blood young man lowered his right hand, the barrister suddenly noticed something different:

"His nose seems more prominent...

"Haha, I must be thinking too much about these things normally, causing hallucinations...

"If only my nose bridge were a bit higher..."

The barrister thought while raising a hand to rub his nose. At the same time, he saw two stray dogs chasing each other ahead, attempting to mate in the street.

....

After his walk, Klein returned to the third-floor living room and brought the "Life Cane" up to the Fog.

"It does have a certain effect. The key to digesting 'Faceless' is actually creating horrifying scenes to scare people and using uncanny methods to cause panic... This really is a bit like a 'director,' just a horror movie director.

"Hmm, it doesn't have to actually scare... Calm daily life hides a series of terrifying scenes, while the surrounding humans are completely unaware, occasionally associating and, when thinking deeply, become frightened by some possibility, to the point of not daring to turn off the lights and having nightmares—that's also a kind of horror movie." Klein examined his own state, summarized and concluded the experiences of the past few months, and finally condensed them into the key phrase "horror movie director."

And understanding this, he gained many ideas on how to quickly digest the potion next.

This required him not only to deal with enemies but also to treat enemies to the treatment of horror movie protagonist or important supporting character!

"That's very troublesome. For a demigod-level target, I definitely have to go all out—how could I have the mind for elaborate settings... Hmm, I don't have to target demigods. The Acting method has no such limitation. I can simply 'teleport' to the sea, find some lucky pirates to 'star,' and create some horror stories.

"Yes, since I'm a director, I need my 'works' to spread! It seems I still need to let some 'actors' successfully escape each time, spreading the nightmare they experienced, shaping corresponding sea legends. I can't feed them all to ''..." As Klein formulated his plan, he suddenly thought of a question:

Among the horror legends with a certain popular foundation in the Northern Continent and the ocean, how many were deliberately created by "Faceless" individuals?

"There must be some... Sigh, if were to play the 'Faceless,' he could probably digest the potion in less than a month. His talent in this area is truly astonishing, not really considering consequences... Actually, while finding pirates to 'make horror movies,' I can also take the opportunity to scare other demigods. I don't have to fight to the death with them; once the goal is achieved, I can disengage." With a shift of thought, Klein had an auxiliary Acting plan.
