Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 309 Sigmar Klein
Above the gray fog
Klein watched Benson and Melissa head to his church, then smiled and disconnected. He then received several cell phones offered as a sacrifice by Serres and "Death Documents" from the Witch Cult.

"So fast?" he muttered, flipping through the documents.

This is roughly a document about a few idiots trying to resurrect Death, resulting in the uniqueness being only partially revived.

It's meaningless. Klein simply tossed it aside, intending to deliver it to Mr. Azik later.

He distributed the phone to other members of the Tarot Club, received gold pounds from several people who "crowdfunded Levihad," and sent the "Death Documents" to Padmo.

After doing all this, Klein's body fell back to reality.

He didn't have any information about the Death God's documents; after all, he'd already learned his lesson from his foolish actions. Directly divining something unique would definitely be unpleasant.

He also needed to buy "The Travels of Grossell" from Edwina, so he quickly returned to the real world, shaking off the decadent state of spending the past few days lounging in his armchair drinking beverages and reading newspapers, and swiftly began setting up the ceremony.

Similar to what I usually offer as a sacrifice, it also uses three candles. However, the difference is that the image depicted is now the emblem of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom".

The emblem of the god of wisdom is an all-knowing eye located on an open book.

The ceremonial silver dagger was replaced with a brass knife. This is because in mysticism, Mercury corresponds to the "god of knowledge and wisdom," and the metals associated with Mercury are mercury and brass.

Klein had long considered contacting "Iceberg General" Edwina Edwards to purchase "The Travels of Grossell," so he had prepared a set of materials for a "spirit possession ritual." After some maneuvering, he burned the corresponding herbal powders and dripped in the essence and hydrosol extracted from lavender and peppermint.

Amidst a fresh, delicate, and mysterious fragrance, Klein stepped back and began chanting an incantation in ancient Hermes: "I pray for the power of knowledge, I pray for the power of reason, I pray for the favor of the god of wisdom. I pray that you grant me communication with the spirit of Edwina Edwards from Remburg, the mentor who pursues knowledge, the researcher of spiritual beings, the iceberg admiral above the sea."

Hello, is this the God of Knowledge and Wisdom? Could you transfer me to Edwina? Yes, that Ice Queen. Thanks.

After reading it aloud, Klein mentally made a comment.

They're used to just saying the honored name directly. It's quite rare to see someone so formal and respectful, like a normal extraordinary person, going through the proper rituals.

Soon, Klein's voice echoed, and the altar suddenly became cold and eerie. Both the brass holy dagger and the metal vial floated up.

Success! The Golden Dream was still within 500 nautical miles. Klein first smiled, then saw the flames of the three candles grow a little longer, turning pale with a hint of green.

This is a spirit transferring itself through the candle.

It doesn't look as good as when I open the Sacrifice Gate, Klein thought.

He knew that the essence of a "spirit possession ritual" was to open one's body and allow the target's astral spirit to attach itself, thus achieving effective communication. This inherently lacked necessary protection and made one vulnerable to harm from the entity targeted by the "spirit possession ritual."

However, the situation is different for Klein. With the 360 ​​system, Klein has absolutely no need to worry about possession or being possessed.

He was more worried that Edwina might go astray and directly enter the simulated universe, where she might mistake the Spear of Retribution, the Antimatter Legion, and the Breeding Swarm for viruses and casually delete them.

Through their meeting and conversation, he concluded that "Iceberg Admiral" Edwina was not a malicious person and could be trusted for the time being. He did not want anything to happen to her here. At that moment, the wind within the spiritual wall began to howl, and Klein felt a cold, icy power emerge from the candlelight, descending from the firelight, attempting to enter his body and possess him.

Edwina wants to be the first woman to sleep with Klein!

In a flash of thought, Klein did not hesitate and snapped his fingers.

A candy knight rose from the ground.

Then, like a "swinging sun," Klein suddenly swung his arm and "threw" that cold, icy power over.

Hmph, a ghost!
Without the slightest hesitation, Klein, who had been single for over 40 years across two lifetimes, acted entirely out of instinct.

Edwina was immediately thrown out of the game.

This is the Sigma man!

Never fall into a woman's trap!
The Candy Knight took a step forward and caught Edwina, who was about to be thrown against the wall.

As if possessed, Edwina's spirit merged with the Candy Knight.

The Candy Knight's body suddenly tensed, and he raised his slightly lowered head to look at Klein without saying a word.

"Ahem." Klein coughed twice tactically and said to the Candy Knight, who was possessed by Edwina, "I want to buy 'The Travels of Groselle.' You can have Danitz summon my messenger to deliver it to me. I will then give you the money in the same form."

After saying that, he added, "Remember, you need one gold coin to summon it."

The Candy Knight nodded. The next second, his body relaxed again, no longer so tense, and his head drooped slightly again.

Klein waved his hand, casually dismissing the Candy Knights. Then he sat down at the table, took out some banknotes, and began writing a letter to Mr. Azik.

He wrote down information about the "Death Documents" and some of his own speculations. Then he took out the Azik copper whistle and blew it.

Silently, Azik's unique skeletal messenger rose from the ground. Half of its body was sunk below, its head level with Klein's.

Klein handed over the documents and letter, watching as the skeletal messenger disintegrated back into individual bones and disappeared from the spot.

"Cool~," Padmo exclaimed from the side.

P.S.: There are only two days left for double monthly tickets (hint).
