After finishing the divination and returning to the real world, Klein walked to the outer room of his rented house, gazed at the crimson moon in the night sky through the window, and silently pondered for dozens of seconds.

Perhaps there is still a chance to digest the potion... Finally, he muttered inaudibly, searched out an item, and taking two puppets with him, disappeared into the unlit shadows.

In , he no longer dared to use "Flame Jumping", afraid of being sensed by , since he couldn't always conveniently light the paper crane folded by as a precaution—that would be disrespectful to the "Serpent of Fate", and constantly "visiting" Doctor Allen would also make his family vulnerable to being watched.

An instant later, Klein appeared behind the high Gothic clock tower in his dream, hiding in the shadows—this was Backlund's iconic "Bell of Order".

Immediately after, he and his two puppets scattered, each occupying different concealed positions.

Having done all this, Klein quickly turned a rat into a puppet, made it run to the edge of his manipulation range, opened its mouth, and whispered a honored name: "Great , symbol of iron and blood, master of turmoil and strife, the 'White Witch' Catherine is in this area..."

Klein was both fulfilling his agreement with the "Red Angel" evil spirit and hoping that this former high-rank being would help him step on any potential traps. At the same time, he was somewhat puzzled by Soren 's true intentions, and did not plan to urgently seek help from the or the "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette, intending to observe for a while and confirm the situation, to avoid involving others in a trap.

As soon as the prayer ended, the gray rat twitched a little and fell silent beside the trash can.

It had lost its life and was no longer Klein's puppet.

This was Klein's way of preventing himself from being marked by the "Red Angel" evil spirit.

As for himself, after abandoning the rat puppet, he immediately withdrew from the "Bell of Order" area together with Qonas and Enyuni, and from several thousand meters away, had the "Winner" offer a prayer to the "Sea God" Kavituwa.

After the prayer, one person and two puppets retreated further, creating a considerable distance.

Then, Klein hid in the storage room of a certain building, took four steps backward, ascended to the Fog, and sat in the position of "The Fool".

He then summoned the "Sceptre of the Sea God", and using the "Winner"'s "Prayer Glow", expanded his range to observe the target area.

At the same time, Klein held in his palm a piece of paper stained with the blood of "Disease General" .

With such a medium and a roughly determined range, under "True Sight", Klein quickly found the already invisible "White Witch" Catherine.

The woman with black hair and blue eyes, clear and beautiful, wearing a holy white robe, floated gently through the streets and alleys like a weightless feather. Even if patrolling police occasionally looked in the right direction, they could not detect her presence.

Without the help of the Gray Fog, Klein could only rely on "Spirit Body Threads" to see through this level of invisibility.

Taking a breath, Klein patiently waited for the "Red Angel" evil spirit to appear, and also observed what Catherine was looking for.

He suspected that the "White Witch"'s target was Tris Chick.

Time ticked by, the crimson moon gradually tilted. After wandering around the "Bell of Order" for a while without results, Catherine showed a mixture of irritation and disappointment, as if she might leave the area at any moment.

But the "Red Angel" evil spirit had not appeared!

This... Soren Einhorn Medici was just deceiving me, and didn't really take the "White Witch" as a target? No, that would be unnecessary; then His entire condition would be meaningless... Has the "Red Angel" evil spirit actually arrived at the scene, but like me, hasn't acted immediately, waiting for me and my companions to have a big battle with Catherine before cleaning up? I also want to appear suddenly at the most intense moment of the battle between Him and that witch to seize the biggest fruit... As Klein's thoughts raced, he vaguely had a guess: He suspected that the "Red Angel" evil spirit was as cautious and steady as himself, hoping to be the fisherman who closes the net, not the net itself.

This is really troublesome... Next, it's a matter of who is more patient... Klein muttered silently two sentences, and continued to observe the area around the "Bell of Order" through the "Prayer Glow".

Tick, tock, tick, tock, the second hand beat with the same rhythm in the quiet night. The expression of the "White Witch" Catherine grew increasingly gloomy.

Suddenly, she turned her gaze to a building's glass window.

In the dimly lit night, it was like a mirror, reflecting the objects ahead.

Catherine's beautiful blue eyes flickered slightly, and the surface of the "mirror" immediately became dark and deep, as if it contained countless things and layered spaces.

The window seemed to become a passage to another world!

Klein's heart stirred. Combining the witch Tris's various mirror-related Beyonder powers, he suspected that Catherine was about to use the "Mirror World" to leave here and end tonight's "hunt".

How can the "Red Angel" evil spirit still hold back? Klein's heart tightened, and he instinctively wanted to put down the "Sceptre of the Sea God", return to the real world, and act against the "White Witch" to prevent her from leaving like that.

As the thought flashed through his mind, Klein ultimately did not move.
