Chapter 801: A "Better" State of Mind

Who? Who's speaking? Klein's muscles instantly stiffened, his eyelids nearly snapping open.

At this moment, cold sweat wildly oozed from his back, soaking his shirt.

What terrified him the most wasn't what the voice had said, but how it could ring directly in his mind, and that it sounded exactly like his own unaltered voice.

That dream just now, even though I maintained my lucidity, my spirit body was still contaminated by the other party's losing control? Or is someone using that inside warden to pass a message to me? Countless guesses flashed through Klein's mind. Combining the content of the voice just now with his own situation, he made an initial judgment:

Very few people knew my identity as , and even fewer knew that had made an oath by touching a holy relic. There was almost no overlap between the two groups.

Mr. Azik has heard me talk about the latter matter, but if he wanted to warn me, he could just have his messenger relay it. There's no need for such a frightening method... might be able to know, after all, He is the "Serpent of Mercury" representing fate, but by the same logic, He can contact me directly... Of course, it's not impossible that He suddenly wanted to scare me. Just this afternoon, I thought there might be a chance for me to become His godfather...

The family notes are eroding the inside warden, just like how they used a misfortune doll to transmit symbols last time? But if it's the notes, why not directly give me the potion formula? Or, negotiate a mutually beneficial "notes jailbreak plan"... Saint Samuel Cathedral is the headquarters of the diocese, a higher level than Saint Cathedral. The notes shouldn't have the ability to make any extra moves. They must be tightly sealed...

Apart from them, there is only one person who might know both situations, and that is the Goddess of the Night. However, with the pride of a deity, there's no way She would pretend to be a passerby and use a polite and distant tone to address me... I am in Saint Samuel Cathedral. She could just issue a divine revelation, and dozens of Beyonders would come out to subdue me. As the diocesan headquarters, with preparations, it can most likely interfere with "Travel". So, there was absolutely no need to go through all this trouble...

Hmm, there is one more person who knows about those two things...

That is myself!

Before planning my actions, I had actually considered the corresponding problems. At the time, I concluded that there was no need to worry too much, because only after advancing to "Faceless" did the Fog have a small amount of power to enter the real world. Before that, only Beyonders of the "Monster" pathway could detect a slight anomaly. And when I touched the Holy Sword and made the oath, I hadn't even become a "Clown"...

Even if the secret connection established by the oath allowed the Goddess to gradually detect my problem subsequently, so much time has passed and She hasn't taken any action... That female angel of the Church, hmm, she should be an angel, even smiled at me after erasing ... So, the Goddess might actually be happy for me to take the family notes. Although I don't know what the purpose is, given my current Sequence, I can only accept it for now and find a way to deal with it later. This is definitely safer than climbing the main peak of the Hornacis mountain range... Of course, this is assuming that the lady who erased is truly an angel of the Church...

Hmm... Although at the "Faceless" stage, I have recognized my true self through various forms of acting, I am currently taking multiple potions and haven't fully digested them. And the "Puppet Master" requires giving each puppet a unique persona that matches its characteristics. This can easily lead to a split personality... Also, in order to steal the family notes and to act as Dwayne Dantès, I am under tremendous pressure, with a strong tendency towards wavering and suspicion in my subconscious... Under this state, the mental pollution from the inside warden's losing control just now stimulated my spirit body, causing me to split off a personality?

Just as Klein thought of this, that familiar yet unfamiliar voice echoed in his mind again:

"Ha, your considerations are too idealistic. All your actions are based on luck. If that high-ranking deacon Crestet Secema, who wields the Holy Sword, comes to to handle other supernatural cases, can you guarantee that the Holy Sword won't sense you when you are in the same church? You two have a contractual connection!"

Once Deacon Secema comes, I will abandon this plan... And, I can avoid it in advance. I can find a reason, an excuse, to go out on an investigation for a while... Klein muttered instinctively in his mind.

Then, he heard that voice belonging to himself speaking in his mind:

"There are too many unexpected and unpredictable situations.

"Before coming to the church today, didn't you also not anticipate that merely observing the 'Spirit Body Threads' would lead to a mutation?"

The tension I felt was precisely my worry about unexpected changes. However, since I was only observing and not making direct contact with the other party, I didn't think there would be too much of a problem. I just need to be more cautious in the future... Moreover, anything can involve surprises and changes... Who are you, exactly? Klein closed his eyes, praying with a focused expression.

The voice hesitated for a moment and said:

"I am Klein, and you are .

"No, I am , and you are Klein..."

As expected... Klein felt his hair stand on end again and decided to leave Saint Samuel Cathedral immediately, return home, and resolve his split personality problem.

When the symptoms first appear, it's relatively easy to deal with. But once the personality becomes stable and strong and starts fighting for control of the body, he might have to seek external help!
