Above the gray fog, Klein leaned back into the high-back chair, holding "," and was silent for a few seconds.

Finally, he released the soul of that "psychiatrist" as planned.

Soon, a tall figure appeared beside the long bronze table—a woman with blurry features, her pain and distortion overflowing.

Klein looked at her and asked casually: "Do you still remember who you are?"

In this mysterious space, he could directly perform spirit communication.

The resentment from the "psychiatrist" diminished considerably. She smiled bitterly: "Of course I do.

"I was a member of a secret organization, planning to visit a friend on Toscat Island, but encountered pirates on the way.

"Although I managed to resolve that disaster with my abilities, the escaped pirates told Zilingus about it. To obtain my abilities, he deliberately changed his sailing plan and blocked our ship. You can imagine what happened afterward.

"Thanks to his caution, I was killed outright, and didn't suffer anything worse than death like the other female passengers."

Klein was silent for a few seconds, then nodded slightly: "Do you know about the ancient book 'The Travels of '?"

He thought that since "The Travels of Groselle" came from the dragon race, the "psychiatrists" might have heard of its name and specifics.

The female "psychiatrist" thought carefully, then shook her head: "Sorry, I've never heard of that name."

Klein didn't dwell on the topic and instead asked: "You're about to dissipate and attain peace. Do you have any last wishes?"

The "psychiatrist" lowered her head, chuckled lightly, and said: "I want to come back to life.

"Well, I know that wish can't be fulfilled, and there's no need for others. I died many years ago; my family and friends must have received the bad news long ago. Sending them the news of my death again would only make them relive that pain.

"So, thank you, and that's it..."

Her figure quickly dimmed and disappeared, leaving only a huge golden pupil—a pupil that could reflect everyone's innermost thoughts.

This was the Beyonder characteristic left by the "psychiatrist."

Klein sighed, pondering some details from the "psychiatrist's" words: "She went to Toscat Island to visit a friend, alone, without family...

"Toscat Island is at the easternmost end of the Sonia Sea, north-south symmetrical with the .

"It's the easternmost colony of the , while the Gargas Archipelago belongs to the Feynapotter Empire... What friend would be there? What friend was worth such a long voyage on a passenger ship to visit?

"Although she only said 'secret organization,' it's highly likely the ''... Was she on a mission?"

Klein respected the deceased and didn't want to pry into her secrets, so he didn't ask further. Naturally, he had no leads. He quickly stopped thinking about it and considered another matter.

After hunting down "Smooth Talker" Misiel Gold, regardless of the reason, I need to leave Baysam within a short time... During this period, I really have done a lot in this "City of Generosity"... Hmm, attend two or three Beyonder gatherings, confirm if there are main ingredients for "Marionettist," then leave... Klein quickly made a decision, then manifested the prayer scene of "The World," shrouded it in gray fog, and threw it into the crimson star symbolizing Miss "Justice."

......

Audrey was on the third-floor balcony, looking at the nearby village. The roofs there were mainly brick-red, depicting either realistic or abstract dragon patterns.

Suddenly, a familiar boundless gray fog appeared before her eyes.

In the gray fog, a blurry figure was praying to the god above: "Great Mr. 'Fool,' please tell Miss 'Justice' that she can prepare for the transaction."

Prepare for the transaction? He's obtained the "psychiatrist's" Beyonder characteristic? But not yesterday... The efficiency of "The World" shocked Audrey, and she almost forgot to thank Mr. "Fool."

Fortunately, she was no longer the naive, innocent girl she used to be; she had seen many important things. She quickly calmed down, piously offered thanks, and informed Mr. "The World" that she needed to wait two or three days, because she intended to pay the debt to Mr. "Fool's" believer at the same time—she had enough cash, but had to maintain a certain bottom line, otherwise it would be easy to arouse suspicion.

After the illusory gray fog dissipated, Audrey looked down at , who was quietly enjoying the garden on the first floor, paced back and forth a few steps, and was secretly astonished: "Mr. 'The World' is really terrifying..."
