The Lord Of Mysteries
Chapter 33: Switching

The moment Old Neil finished his sentence, the pair of illusory eyes lurking in the darkness behind him disappeared. Even in his Spirit Vision state, Klein was no longer able to identify any traces of his existence.

"This is a characteristic of ritualistic magic," Old Neil explained with a chuckle.

Interesting... Is Spirit Vision an enhanced version of Yin-Yang eyes? Klein felt like a child receiving a new toy. In excitement, he averted his gaze and began to observe every corner of the room. He wanted to see the difference of the alchemy room with and without Spirit Vision.

The outlines of objects in the darkness such as tables, test tubes, scales, cups, and cabinets did not look different from how they looked without Spirit Vision. They do not emit any light or color.

Objects without life have no spirituality? Klein muttered to himself as he turned his gaze toward the silver chest.

Suddenly, he saw bright colors. It was as blue as the sky, sparkling like a star, or as deep red as a flame!

"Materials of extraordinary creatures still have life in them, and uh? Even if the source is dead?" Klein considered his words as he sought Old Neil's help.

"The "right picture is that they have the rest of spirituality. This was one of the important points of a successful potion potion. That was also one of the reasons why the Beyonder would lose control. Dunn should've told you, "Old Neil frankly said.

He suddenly laughed, remembering something.

"i remember that the Corpse Collector formula requires dried adult black spot frogs. To consume the potion requires a lot of courage."

Klein slightly imagined and thought it disgusting. He did not echo Old Neil's words and turned his gaze to the dark area. However, there was no spiritual body or ghost he wanted to see.

"Isn't it said that the spirit world is everywhere?" he asked out of curiosity.

Old Neil chuckled briefly before saying, "Punk, repeat after me.

"This is the headquarters of the Nighthawk army. This is the land under the Church of the Goddess Overnight. There are many Beyonders here!

"Do you think we'll let spirits and souls roam here? Moreover, the spiritual world and spirit are two different concepts."

Klein felt a little embarrassed as he turned his head, pretending to see the dim light from the gas lamp at the entrance.

"i understand."

As he spoke, the area between his eyebrows began to spasm.

What the hell's going on? Just as Klein turned to ask, he suddenly saw a figure standing quietly near the door on the edge of the light. It looked like a human, although the color of its aura and darkness blended perfectly, making it impossible to see.

Hissing!

Klein felt a painful spasm in his glabella 1. His vision turned chaotic as he focused his attention again, but there was no "shapeless" figure"!

He turned around and asked.

"Mr Neil, the place between my eyebrows hurts a little from the spasms."

"Haha, this is very common. You are the new Beyonder. The sight of the Spirit puts a great burden on your Spirit Body. Besides, it drains you constantly. Physical effects can include glabella seizures, headaches, excessive sensitivity, and mild hallucinatory attacks. And when looking at something with Spirit Vision, it was very easy to feel uneasy as a result of the unfamiliar surroundings. It is also very easy to get your emotions affected by others. These are things you need to pay attention to. You can become accustomed to and eliminate them with repetitive exercises. In addition, use it sparingly and end it on time, " replied Old Neil with a smile.

Why do you feel happy about this .. Klein hurriedly asked for advice, "Then, how do I get out of the state of having the Vision of the Spirit?"

He had planned to mention the invisible figure he saw, although when he heard about the mild hallucinations among his symptoms, he discarded the thought.

From glabella seizures and headaches, he could actually guess Old Neil's answer!

"As before, think of an item to distract you. It will take you out of Cogitation. Close your eyes and control your spirituality and say it over and over again to end it. When you open your eyes again, you will find that your Spirit Vision has ended."

Old Neil explained casually and when he finished, adding, "Of course, that is the most trivial and clumsy method. We can repeatedly hint to ourselves in Cogitation of the exercises to influence our spirituality. That way, you will have a simple switch. For example, tapping your glabella twice lightly will allow you to activate Spirit Vision easily. The other two beats would just end it. As for how you set it up, it depends on your habits and preferences.

"understand." Klein thought for a moment and planned to imitate Old Neil to use the glabella beat twice as a switch for his Spirit Vision.

Tapping once is easily misinterpreted as an instinctive knock on his head and tapping three times can be a waste of valuable time in dangerous situations. As for an action like flicking a finger, it was too attention-grabbing.

He loosened his focus and imagined the pile of light balls and re-entered the Cogitation state.

Under the guidance of Old Neil, after repeatedly giving pointers and practice, he finally "prepared" his "switch.

He clenched his fists slightly and used his index finger to tap on the glabella twice. Immediately, there was a radiant aura of different thickness and color appearing before his eyes.

After two beats, everything returned to normal.

"I can finally catch him." he sighed happily.

Only then did he realize how tired he was, feeling like he could fall asleep at any moment. His mind ached as if he had stayed up for three nights.

Old Neil said with a laugh, "We're not sleeping. Every practice and every time Spirit Vision is overused, you will need sleep. Now you can go back and rest well. In the afternoon, head to Iron Cross Street where Welch is located and take a walk. Try your best to find clues about the Antigonus family notebook as soon as possible. Tomorrow, I will continue to teach you about mysticism. Of course, don't forget to read the historical documents."

"Good." Klein completely agreed with Old Neil's arrangement.

At that moment, Dunn Smith came from behind him with the corner of her crooked lips. With a deep look, he said, "i heard from Old Neil that you are a very suitable candidate. Even without Cogitation, you can use Spirit Vision."

"Perhaps, it is a unique trait of being an Astrologer," Klein replied humbly.

He suspects Dunn has been overseeing the armory for Old Neil.

Dunn slowed down and slightly preceded Klein. After a few seconds of silence, he turned around and said, "You must remember that curiosity kills the cat. It could also kill Beyonders. Don't try to investigate murmurs you shouldn't have listened to or seen where you shouldn't have seen. "

"Good." Klein knows this is another reminder of how Beyonders lost control.

After entering the Blackthorn Security Company, he greeted Rozanne who clearly did not know that she had become a Beyonder. He slowly walked out the door and reached the road where he boarded the carriage without a trace to Daffodil Road. He almost fell asleep on the way home.

It was still early morning and the temperature was around twenty-six degrees Celsius. Klein took out the copper key from his belt and opened the door of his house.

There are still a lot of things missing from his house. The living room and dining room are empty. Benson and Melissa had jobs or school, so they both left early in the morning.

Klein did not have the capacity to bother with anything else. He closed the door and quickly went to the second floor and entered the bedroom equipped with his bookshelf.

After removing her tuxedo and hanging it on the clothes rack, she excitedly jumped onto the bed. When he hit the pillow, he fell asleep.

Klein was awakened by the bright sunlight. He turned his head and slowly opened his eyes to find the burning sun outside.

"What time is it now? Did I miss the Tarot Club in the afternoon?" He struggled to get up and walked to the clothes rack to get his pocket watch out of the inner lining pocket of the tuxedo.

Not only did he forget about the matter, he also forgot to close his bedroom door and pull the curtains to the oriel window.

Pa!

Klein took out a pocket watch and immediately felt relieved when he opened it.

It was a little past noon. There is still plenty of time until the meeting is scheduled at three in the afternoon.

It was Monday, the day he would hold a meeting with The Hanged Man and Justice.

Klein thought as he tapped his glabella twice. The scene before him changed once more as he saw that his body had recovered to a bright luster.

He knocked twice more and stopped his Spirit Vision. Relax, he went to the first floor and boiled a kettle of water. He put some low-quality tea leaves and chewed the rye bread smeared with a little butter.

After that, Klein flipped through Klein's original history materials and diaries. He started 'revisioning' and consolidating his knowledge.

…

At 14:57, Klein closed his book and closed his pen before pulling the curtain.

Soon after, he locked the room door, making the room abnormally dark.

He tapped on his glabella twice and activated Spirit Vision to observe his surroundings.

After confirming that there was no invisible spiritual body in his room, Klein stopped the Spirit Vision and took out his pocket watch to check the time.

Tik tok's. Tik tok's.

One minute before three o'clock, he opened his steps and as before, walked four steps counter-clockwise in a square shape. He spoke in Chinese softly.

Only this time, he did not prepare any staple food.

Klein closed his eyes as he felt the back of his hand itch. It felt like four black piers that formed a square stood out and projected something.

Hysterical screams and alluring whispers began to echo, but Klein realized that his headache was not as severe as the first.

It was not that he was unaffected, but he did his best to stop himself from listening.

As a Beyonder, she should have greater self-control in such an environment.

Immediately, his body became light as he floated. He saw a grayish-white mist and a blur that emanated. Then, he saw a deep red 'star. The two of them had a very small relationship with her with an abnormal sense of familiarity.

Klein looked at his hazy self and muttered in confusion, "The Astral Projection mentioned by Old Neil?"

He remained calm for a few seconds and once again transformed the luxurious god palace with a high bronze table under the vaulted ceiling, the, as well as twenty-two high-backed seats corresponding to different constellations.

Klein calmly walked to the Seat of Honor and made his body and face immersed in a thicker gray fog. He reached out his right hand and knocked on the two familiar deep red stars and created a magic connection.

Glabella, in humans, is the skin between the eyebrows and above the nose.
