If I keep building up, soon I'll be able to answer the prayers of the
This made him look even more like a wandering magician.
If he wanted, he could even use the "Staff of Life" or the "Grafting" ability to give the puppet some living traits.
While teasing the child, Klein's mind began to wander, considering where to "build" the puppet city needed for the advancement ritual: "To generate a corresponding area in the Spirit World, a puppet city needs sufficient interaction. That means placing it in the God‑abandoned land is out of the question. Not to mention it's sealed and can't directly connect to the Spirit World, only through some special means; even without that problem, without intelligent life, it's hard to have enough interaction...
"Placing it on the Northern or Southern Continent or in the overseas colonies requires great caution. Before the ritual is close to success, I absolutely cannot expose that this is a puppet city, or it will inevitably be interfered with, damaged, or even attacked by enemies like
"Hmm, I need to give the puppet city a sufficient reason for its existence, and in interactions with traveling merchants and the surrounding humans, there must not be a single anomaly. Every puppet must be a living person with their own past, present, and future, following their own destiny...
"This means the puppet city will be extremely complex, requiring the differentiation of many 'Spirit
"Husbands and wives must act like husbands and wives, people with unusual tastes must show their preferences, perverts must be detested... In that case, perhaps an outsider staying in the puppet city might hear embarrassing sounds...
"I'm just a child...
"This is like a huge reality show, or an advanced version of playing house, the kind that must fool the audience..."
As Klein silently complained, he calculated whether his puppets were enough.
He had traveled back and forth to the God‑abandoned land several times before, converting a large variety of monsters that didn't necessarily have Beyonder characteristics, and he also consciously controlled batches of rats, cockroaches, mosquitoes, and flies, making sure the other side of the puppet city felt real enough.
My current accumulation can barely support a small city. A few more trips to the God‑abandoned land should be enough... Just as Klein had that thought, a scene suddenly appeared before his eyes: At the top of the "
It was as if an invisible hand was closing the entrance to the God‑abandoned land.
This... Klein's eyes darkened slightly, and he vaguely guessed that this scene meant that the "
This was his prophetic ability brought by his angel-level spiritual intuition and danger premonition: In a few minutes or seconds, that would happen.
Has the "True Creator" caught Amon? Or has He given up? Is He re‑sealing the God‑abandoned land because He doesn't want anyone else to enter? Isn't that a bit stingy? Klein muttered in his mind, momentarily disappointed.
Of course, his puppets were barely enough; if he was still lacking, he could make up for it at sea.

Audrey had just changed clothes and dismissed the maids, about to go out, when she saw the golden retriever
"What's the matter? Shouldn't you be walking at this time?" As a seasoned "Spectator," Audrey immediately sensed something wrong.
During this period, she had been busy using her ability to influence several foundations to help workers, farmers, and disabled veterans who were struggling, allowing them to hold on until new job opportunities arrived or the next season's harvest came. She had been interacting with Susie much less than usual.
At the same time, Audrey was secretly guiding those who were already inclined to do so to reorganize the various workers' associations in Backlund, trying to unite the power of the lower-class workers.
Her past experiences had taught her that relying on the kindness of the upper class was unreliable and short-lived, and that individuals were too small and powerless before the government, nobility, and big merchants. Only by awakening a larger number of people and uniting them could some kind of balance be achieved.
—The
Susie looked at Audrey, her expression quite normal, but her mouth seemed uncontrollable, vibrating the air, and emitted a low male voice: "Miss Audrey, I am
After saying this, Susie let out a long sigh of relief and resumed her normal voice: "Audrey, there's a weird guy looking for you. I, I can't remember what he looks like. He, he directly placed the words he wanted to say into my mind island!"
Audrey's pupils dilated slightly, then returned to normal. She nodded calmly: "Where in the park is he?"
As she spoke, Audrey had already quietly simulated a personality, entering Susie's mind island through the collective subconscious sea to check if there were any hidden external consciousness or cognitive distortions.
"I, I don't remember... I was walking." Susie recalled.
Then she wagged her tail slightly and said: "I think you shouldn't go. It's dangerous."
After confirming through the "simulated personality" that Susie had no other hidden dangers, Audrey let out an almost imperceptible breath and said: "If I don't go, I'll be more suspicious. In that case, danger is unavoidable, and it might even affect others in this house."
