After folding the letter, Crane took out the brass whistle, brought it to his mouth, and blew hard.

Silently, he saw that there were illusory and hazy white bones on the desk being thrown out one by one, turning into fountains, and forming a huge monster, which was still close to four meters, still covered with a faint light, and still had its head out of the roof, which seemed to be no different from before.

With a flick of his wrist, Crane tossed the letter and saw the bone monster grasp it steadily.

He blew the brass whistle again, and watched as the "messenger" disintegrated into illusory bones, falling like rain and disappearing into the surface of his desk.

After doing all this, Crane settled down a lot, but he didn't stop trying, moved back his chair, stood up, and took four counterclockwise steps into the gray mist.

The majestic palace and the ancient mottled table caught his eyes, as if they had remained unchanged for thousands of years.

Crane sat down in the high-backed chair belonging to the "Fool" and silently untied the pendulum from the cuff of his left wrist, revealing a yellow-brown parchment and a round-bellied pen.

He's going to do a divination for the captain's situation tonight!

After a moment of thought, Klein wrote the first divination statement:

"Dunn Smith's anomaly puts me in danger. ”

- In the occult, divination involving one's own safety is the most difficult to be interfered with by external forces, which belongs to the spiritual instinct.

In other words, as long as it is not a particularly strong interference, Klein can get more accurate results in divination involving his own safety.

This is also the reason why he knew that Lady Sharon had the ability to interfere with divination, and whether it was dangerous to divide for the task, and he knew very well that Mrs. Sharon was not strong enough to influence this kind of divination.

Now, in order to determine the situation of Captain Dunn Smith, he has decided to eliminate all distractions and divinate above the Grey Mist.

Holding the pendulum in his left hand, Klein silently recited the divination seven times, closed his eyes, and entered a meditative state.

After a few seconds of stabilization, he opened his eyes, and the darkening color of his eyes had returned to normal.

He looked at the citrine pendant, and his heart gradually sank, because the pendulum was making a clockwise rotation, not small, not slow.

This shows that the answer is yes.

This shows that Dunn Smith's anomaly can put him in danger!

And the danger is not low!

Closing his eyes, Klein "erased" the previous content and wrote a new divination statement:

"The cause of Dunn Smith's anomaly. ”

He put away the citrine pendant, leaned back in his chair, and silently recited the divination sentence while meditating into the dream.

In that gray and illusory world, he saw nothing, found nothing, except for the gray, and the gray.

"This means that the information is insufficient, and the divination has failed......" Crane whispered bitterly and helplessly as he looked at the parchment on the long bronze table.

Suddenly, he felt a strong sense of exhaustion, and understood that it was the result of fierce fighting, continuous use of rituals, and multiple divinations.

Wrapped in spirituality, Crane fell into the gray mist and returned to the real world.

Throughout the night, he had several nightmares, ending with either Kornley vomiting out of his guts or Dunn Smith with dark red blood around his mouth.

............

Early the next morning, Klein, who was about to take the turn of Chanis Gate, arrived early at Blackthorn Security.

At this time, Rosanne and Mrs. Oriana and other civilian personnel were not yet at work, and Crane looked through the partition and looked at the open door, and saw Dunn Smith in the captain's office.

Dunn took off his coat and was wearing only a white shirt and black waistcoat, and he sat in his seat, cup of coffee in hand, staring at the wall in front of him.

His hair was slightly dry, his gray eyes were dull, and his stiff face was visibly haggard.

Even a captain who has experienced similar things many times is unbearable to lose two teammates in a short period of time...... Klein's heart was sour, and the broken mirror appeared in his mind again, and Dunn's half-lying body and dark blood face appeared.

Crane gritted his teeth and turned his head sideways, looking to the side.

After more than ten seconds, he controlled his expression and reached out to knock on the door of the captain's office.

Knock, knock, knock.

Dunn put down his coffee cup, his gray eyes darkening again.

He took a silent breath and said:

"I have reported the matter to the Templars and they have given a preliminary response. ”

"The church will compensate Cohenley's family with £3,000 and the police will give him a bereavement pension of £1,000......"

That's £4,000 in total, which is a fortune that most middle class people can't save in a lifetime...... Kornley's weekly salary is £7, or £364 a year, and when bonuses and extra income are included, it can reach at least £380, and £4,000 is equivalent to his income for ten years...... Such a fortune can be returned at least 200 pounds a year, which can barely make up for the damage caused to his family by Cohenley's death...... Although money is not a substitute for affection, it is not a substitute for Kornley, but it is the only way that is relatively effective at the moment...... Klein flashed a lot of thoughts, but finally came out with a sigh:

"There's only so much we can do. ”

The Church of the Night Goddess is still very conscientious in this regard.

Dunn pulled down his collar and said in a low voice:

"You go underground and replace Luo Yao. ”

"Okay. Crane nodded slightly.

He turned around and walked towards the gate, where he heard the captain add, almost to himself:

"We'll take Kornley home later......"

Send Kornley home...... How will his father, his mother, his siblings, his fiancée, react...... Klein's heart tightened, and he was a little glad that he didn't have to face that kind of sadness.

He knew it was an escape, but he was really afraid to see the grief-stricken eyes of Kornley's parents and his fiancée's soulless expression, to see their complaining expressions, to hear the sobs.

Stepping up, Klein came to Chanis's door and completed the handover with Luo Yao in silence.

He sat in the guard room, taking out his silver pocket watch from time to time, and watched the minutes pass.

I don't know how long it took, and the sound of an illusory cascading voice suddenly sounded in Crane's ears.

He looked at the back of his hand with four black dots prominent, and understood that it was "justice", "hanged man", or "sun" praying to him.

But he couldn't respond in time, so he could only endure until the end of the prompt, and then he prayed and went home the next morning.

As soon as he took out the key and opened the door, Crane saw the maid Bella wiping down the dining table, while his sister Melissa and brother Benson were walking down the stairs in their respective outing clothes.

"Didn't you go to Mass just last week?" asked Crane, a little strangely.

Benson smiled and said:

"I can understand the memory of a man who hasn't slept all night. ”

"Huh?" Klein was even more dazed.

"Today is the first day that tickets for The Return of the Count are open for booking. Melissa took the initiative to explain.

Klein slapped his forehead and removed his hat:

"I've been so busy that I've forgotten about it. ”

Especially these three days...... He added with a sigh.

Melissa looked at him with concern and said:

"Your breakfast is in the kitchen, and when you're done, go to bed, and Benson and I thought that since we were going out, we would stop by St. Selena's Church for Mass. ”

"Okay. Crane waved goodbye to his brother and sister, had a brief breakfast, and returned to his bedroom.

Preparing for this, he took four retrograde steps into the gray mist, and saw that the crimson stars corresponding to "Justice" and "Hanged Man" were both expanding and contracting illusory.

Stretching out his right hand, spreading spirituality, a blurry picture appeared in Crane's eyes, and the prayer of Miss "Justice" sounded in his ears:

......

"I pray that you will hear. ”

"Because of the matter of Ziringus, my father has hired an extraordinary person to protect me, and there is surveillance that I don't know about, and I finally found an opportunity to pray to you, I want to take a leave of absence for next week's party, and I am sure that this will fade soon. ”

Klein subconsciously glanced at the blurred picture, saw the diffuse mist, saw the giant bathtub that seemed to be rippling with water, and saw Miss "Justice" wrapped in a bath towel.

He withdrew his gaze and began to listen to the pleading of the "upside-down man" again.

The other party's description is different from "justice", but he prays for the same thing, and he also wants to take a leave of absence because of the remnants of the Ziringers incident.

Crane bowed slightly, and responded to their prayers separately:

"I see. ”

Immediately afterwards, he sent another thought to the crimson star corresponding to the "sun":

"The upcoming party is temporarily cancelled. ”

............

City of Silver.

Derick Berg was listening to his teachings on the training ground, the sky above him was still dark, and every now and then a bolt of lightning flashed across to illuminate everything.

Suddenly, he saw a thick mist, an ancient palace like a giant's dwelling, and Mr. "Fool" sitting high in the depths of the gray mist.

"The upcoming party is temporarily cancelled. ”

The voice was still echoing, and everything in front of Darik's eyes was back to normal.

He was not surprised by the magic, for Mr. Fool had reminded him of this before every meeting.

Darek subconsciously looked up at the woman in front of him, a member of the Silver City Council of Six, "Shepherd" Lovia.

The terrifying powerhouse kept changing between smiles and coldness, and told every teenager present that they would next join the patrol to rid the neighborhood of the dark monsters, and that it would not be training anymore.

Elder Lovia didn't notice anything unusual...... Her state is getting stranger and stranger, is it because there is an evil spirit equal to a high-order powerhouse in her herding soul?, Derick thought in a divergent mind.

............

Klein returned to the bedroom, lay down on the bed, and quickly fell asleep, dreaming about what had happened in the past few days.

Suddenly, he felt that he was being shaken by someone, and suddenly he came to his senses.

His eyes opened, and Crane saw a giant white hand.

The giant hand paused, threw the letter it was holding onto the bed, and disappeared.

Mr. Azik's reply...... Crane picked up the letter in a moment's heel.
