Psychic and Backtrack

To put it simply, mediumship was to use one's spirituality to intrude into the other party's spirituality world, then forcefully read the other party's memories or use other means to communicate with the other party's Body of Heart and Mind in a relatively gentle manner to obtain information.

To a professional Spirit Medium, they wouldn't lack the means to protect themselves and communicate in such a state. However, Beyonders from other pathways didn't have this convenience.

In the novel, Klein, due to the augmentation of Sefirah Castle, he could maintain his lucidity while in a mediumship state. Therefore, he often combined mediumship and dream divination to obtain information.

That inspired Ebner to try to develop another operation.

After using the level suppression of the White Eye to forcefully break through the spiritual resistance of the villain named Morey, most of the other party's mental world had already been exposed to Ebner.

Directly using spirituality to read memories might bring about danger due to mental corruption, but this mind world could also be used as a necessary clue and prerequisite for "Backtrack".

Therefore, after using the Eye of Pure White to quickly analyze and filter out the fragments of information he wanted, Ebner quickly exited the spirit channeling and used Scene Retrack. Immediately following that, scenes appeared before his eyes.

Morey picked up a bottle of black liquid, and after a long struggle in his heart, he finally drank it down. Then, his expression twisted, and the veins on his forehead popped out. It took him a while to recover.

At that moment, a man with brown skin and short black curly hair who was clearly a Southern Continent native patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Morey, congratulations on becoming a lawyer. In the future, I'll leave the company and the Loen officials to you."

The scene came to an abrupt stop as a new scene appeared.

In the dim room, a man with a low hat seemed to have the intention of exposing the lower half of his round face. He easily restrained Morey and smiled. "Morey, right? I need you to do something for me."

"What is it?" Morey knelt on the ground, not even daring to look into the other party's eyes. It was as if a terrifying thing would happen at a glance.

"I want you to incite the workers in the dock area to organize a strike. The bigger the matter, the better. It's best if there's a murder case and the officials take it seriously," the man said with a smile.

"But… but I don't have the ability," Morey said fearfully, afraid that the other party would not be satisfied with his answer.

The man took out a ring embedded with red and black gems and tossed it to him. "Take this. It will help you complete it. You'd better do your job well, or else…" At this point, a mocking smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, the scene changed again, and another scene slowly appeared.

In the office, an assistant reported to Morey, "Manager, we've confirmed that the item in the thief's hand is the relic of God! He told us that the relic came from the underground of Grant's clothing store. There might be a relic of God there."

"Grant… the family that was robbed and killed?" Morey asked after a moment of recollection.

"You have a good memory. Sir, it's that family." The assistant nodded.

Morey thought for a moment and said, "That's Cherwood Borough. It's not like East Borough or the dock area… How about this? We'll buy that clothing store directly and then excavate the ruins under the name of renovation."

The scene returned to the dim room. A thug nervously reported to Morey:

"Boss, the police have noticed us kidnapping homeless people and homeless people in the bridge area. They seem to have started an investigation."

"Idiots, can't you go somewhere else? If you keep working in the same area, of course you'll be investigated!" Morey rubbed his temples and cursed.

After being scolded, the thug didn't dare to speak for a long time. In the end, he mustered his courage and said, "Boss, there's one more thing. When we sent the person we kidnapped to that big client, a worker found something…"

At this moment, the scene suddenly changed and they arrived at a large warehouse.

Morey used his foot to step on a young man who was sprawled on the ground, his life or death unknown. He asked the thugs around him, "Is this the kid who discovered the company's secret?"

"Yes, Boss Morey. This kid's father is a veteran, so he learned some reconnaissance skills. If he hadn't tried to rescue a kidnapped girl, he wouldn't have been exposed," one of the thugs replied nervously.

"They're all trash!" Morey cursed and stomped on the young man a few more times before asking, "Who knows how long he's been discovered? Did he reveal anything?"

"He probably discovered it the day before yesterday when he came here with the cargo box. In addition, this batch of workers hasn't gone on leave yet. They have been under the company's surveillance… However, he seems to have asked someone to bring a letter to his family. Although our people have checked the contents of the letter, we don't know if he wrote any secret messages. Also, his family is asking someone to contact the bounty hunters in East Borough," an assistant from the company walked over and answered.

Morey's expression darkened as he thought for a moment before instructing, "Get a few people to come with me to this brat's house for a checkup. Our client has a powerful background, and he's paid a lot of money for the goods. We can't let this pest ruin the company's business."

At this moment, the screen suddenly zoomed out, revealing the entire warehouse. It was a terrace factory near the train exhaust chimney, and further away, one could faintly see a river flowing past.

…

When it was all over, Ebner shot a glance at Morey, whose face was pale from having been forced into his mind. Without hesitation, he plunged a knife into his heart and ended his sinful life.

Earlier, because it was only a confession from the thugs, Ebner hadn't made a move. However, through spirit channeling and retracing his actions, he had already deeply recognized what kind of a villain this gentleman-like gentleman was. Therefore, killing him didn't bring any discomfort to Ebner. Instead, it gave him a sense of satisfaction to vent his hatred.

Following that, while waiting for the Beyonder characteristic to appear, Ebner also seriously considered the scenes he had seen previously.

This Morey is actually a "lawyer"? That's right. Without Beyonders of similar pathways, companies like them with the background of gangs and mysterious organizations wouldn't be able to start their businesses so easily…

The second scene should be the origins of the gemstone ring… However, that strange man only requested for the workers to represent the organization to go on strike and gave him a precious Beyonder item?

By the way, at the teacher's gathering previously, Black Snake was looking for someone to reverse the idea of the workers representing the strike… And I remember that Black Snake was likely a member of the Aurora Order…

With this in mind, Ebner was almost certain of the true identity of the man with the contradictory behavior.

So it was Lanevus who was up to no good… He probably hadn't been monitored too strictly by the Aurora Order, which was why he had taken the opportunity to threaten Morey. Heh heh, it looked like he hadn't realized that he was transforming into that existence and was mentally affected. Otherwise, with his intelligence as a great swindler, he wouldn't have used such inferior means.

Ebner shook his head. He didn't want to get involved in Lanevus's messy affairs, nor did he want to report him. After all, the swindler had wanted to help him escape with the help of the officials. Wouldn't it be better to report him?

Without Mr. Fool's interference, he might really be able to slip away under the eyes of the officials. It would not be easy to find him then.

For Ebner, because of his original identity, he really liked Klein's role and was willing to help him as much as possible. However, in this real world, the help he could provide to Klein was limited to providing him with information on Sefirah Castle or providing him with aid on certain items in the future.

As for risking his life against other Beyonders for the sake of the protagonist? That was not within Ebner's consideration.

Putting aside these jumbled thoughts, Ebner continued to examine the retrospective images he had seen.

There was a Death Ruin beneath the Grant family? What a joke. Back then, when the aura of a demigod erupted, the Spellsinger of God had personally descended. If there were really some Mandated Punishers, would they not know? Would thieves steal important things from below?

Heh heh, I wonder which organization is scheming to harm the Eternal Life Society and the East Balam Reestablishment Association. The latter doesn't know that Grant's clothing store is being monitored by the Church of Storms. They are walking into a trap.

So, why did the person or organization behind this do this? Did they have a feud with the Eternal Life Society? Did they deliberately find something to attract the attention of the Mandated Punishers? Or was there some deeper conspiracy?

Due to the lack of information, Ebner could not guess what the person behind it wanted to do. He could only temporarily ignore it and continue analyzing the subsequent scenes.

The homeless disappearance case I saw in the dossier of the bridge police station was also done by this group of people… Furthermore, they have a huge client buying these people… Is it the Aurora Order, the Demoness Sect, or the Loen military?

Ebner thought to himself as he tapped his fingers on the table. After a while, he stopped and decided to find the location of the warehouse and report it to the authorities.

This wasn't only because he wanted to act as a detective, but also because he wanted to take revenge for those innocent people who had died tragically. Furthermore, his and Xio's actions today had already offended the Everlasting Society and the East Balam Reestablishment Association. If he didn't give them some trouble, wouldn't they be thinking about how to take revenge when they were free?

Although he wasn't afraid of the organization that Klein destroyed with a single match,

At this moment, Morey's Beyonder characteristic had been completely extracted. Ebner carefully stored the fist-like object into the metal box he carried with him and sealed it with his spirituality.

After doing all of this, there was a sudden knock on the door. There were two long and short intervals. This was the secret signal he had promised Xio.

Ebner checked the time first and saw that it was already past eight in the evening. He walked over to open the door and saw Xio standing at the door with the packed food.
