Similar feelings are not unfamiliar, and the experienced Klein immediately used the ability of "Joker" to control the expression of his face and the slight tremor of his body.

He withdrew his gaze softly but not hurriedly, so that the casual glance he had just made did not reveal much of the unusual.

"Hey, Talim is so young, he's not even married, he doesn't have children. Klein sighed.

The reason why he said this is because this sentence can give him a plausible enough explanation for the subtle reaction of the woman who gave the flowers: from the woman who had a certain relationship with Talim to think of the other party's marriage and family situation, and to think of the untimely death of a friend, so he was overwhelmed with grief.

"Yes, in fact, at his age, he should have gotten married four or five years ago, but unfortunately, his grandfather's affairs left him with a very strong psychological shadow, and he has always rejected marriage, and it has not improved until recently. Reporter Mike echoed and sighed.

At this time, it was as if there were clumps of thorns behind the normal Klein that were digging deeply, slowly into his skin and flesh, making his spirit highly tense.

The woman in the black dress with a sapphire ring on the little finger of her left hand straightened up, looked around calmly, and then, accompanied by two maids, quietly left Talim's tomb and walked away into the distance.

Call...... Crane breathed a sigh of relief silently.

The feeling of being stabbed in his back quickly turned into a cold sweat.

Who is she, and why did she come to the grave to lay flowers? Talim's lover? However, how could Talim, who has no wealth, no power, no status, and no status, have a love affair with a terrible person who involves a "0" level seal or a demigod of the same level? This is not! Moreover, it should be that she killed Talim with a curse...... The water behind it is so deep...... Klein listened quietly as reporter Mike and Surgeon General Allen recounted Talim's past.

He quickly diverged his thinking, and felt that the most confusing point in this matter was:

It is unbelievable that the death of an ordinary person with no money, no power, no status, and no strength would involve a "0" level seal or a strong person of the same level!

But this is not an isolated case, and there are many similar things around me...... Klein suddenly thought about it and looked at Surgeon Allen:

It is likely that this ordinary person's home is hiding a Sequence 1 "Mercury Serpent"!

Following this line of thought, Klein recalled the nearly five months he had traveled over, and was shocked to find that he had unknowingly been involved with many demigods and many terrifying seals.

The woman who killed Talim just now, Will Ansettin, the "Serpent of Mercury", Amon the "Blasphemer", the mysterious woman in the Kingdom Museum, the high-order powerhouse of the Rose School, "0-08", "1-42", Ince Zangwill, the mutated Sun Emblem, Antigonus Family Notes, Mr. Azk Eggers, suspected descendant of the Grim Reaper, Mr. "Gate", the Dusk Hermit Society...... Names flashed through Crane's mind, and each time he counted them, he wanted to gasp.

He sank his mind and pondered carefully:

"And that's not even counting the 'True Creator' and the 'Eternal Sun' above these...... Strictly speaking, I can also rank into this ranks, after all, it is because of black divination, and I have an otherworldly soul that holds a strange gray mist...... Could this be the cusp of another era after Russell, so the demigods and terrifying seals will enter real life one after another......"

Klein's thoughts flickered, and the sad reporter Mike and the surgeon General Allen said goodbye one after another, and he left the cemetery unhappily.

Just as he looked around for a rental carriage, a familiar carriage pulled out of its hidden place and stopped in front of him.

Although the coat of arms on the black carriage was skillfully concealed, Crane still recognized it at a glance as Prince Edsak's carriage.

Silently, the car door opened, and the meticulously combed old butler came down and made a polite gesture of please:

"His Royal Highness the Prince is waiting for you. ”

"Good. Crane didn't feel a little weak, and entered the spacious and warm carriage.

Prince Edsak wore a dark blue coat with a large collar, and on his chest was a golden ribbon-like outfit, which made him look unusually noble.

He rubbed the diamond collar pin, and his narrow eyes sighed slightly:

"Even when I attended my friend's funeral, I was restricted from being able to attend directly, I could only watch from afar, and I could only send someone to lay flowers for me, which is the royal family's unfreedom. ”

"If Talim's grandfather hadn't lost his title, you shouldn't have to shy away from it. Crane followed Prince Edsak's gesture and sat down across from him.

Edsak said with a blood-red Ormere wine:

"Hey, I was going to find an opportunity to help Talim's father restore a certain title, but unfortunately ......"

He delved into the topic and asked instead:

"Sherlock, did you receive that package?"

"Yes. "Klein asks and answers, and never overdescribes it.

Edsak bowed his head lightly and said:

"Any progress?"

"I did a few divination sessions with Talim's hair, flesh and belongings, but all came to the conclusion that he died of a sudden heart attack. Klein's use of emotionless and smooth narration madness hints at "I am not a high sequence", "I am limited in level", "although I am good at divination, the other party is more powerful", "I definitely can't investigate the truth" and so on.

Edsak showed an expression of disappointment that could not be concealed, and sighed:

"How are you going to investigate after that?"

"Start with the people and places that Talim came into contact with in the days before he died. Klein replied as planned.

Edsak glanced at the old butler:

"It's definitely a matter of coercive interrogation and money buying, huh...... 100 pounds to Sherlock for the investigation. ”

"Yes, Your Highness the Prince. The old butler took out from his pocket a stack of bills that had been prepared long ago.

Paying 100 pounds directly?Crane felt Prince Edsak's generosity again.

"I'll try to investigate. He took the 100 pounds in cash and put it in his pocket, without counting it.

"Hopefully we can put Talim to rest in peace. Prince Edsak clenched his right fist and struck his left chest.

As he spoke, he looked sideways out the window, looking at the Crown Cemetery not far away.

He still has some affection for Talim...... Crane sighed to himself and was led out of the carriage by the old butler.

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

Queens, inside the luxurious villa of the Earl Hall's family.

Audrey looked at Eastrant, a psychology teacher with long hair and waist-length in front of her, and pretended to be cautious and looked left and right.

She then lowered her voice and said:

"Mr. Eastrant, I recently attended a new gathering of the extraordinary, and there are people in it who are buying the characteristics of the human skin shadow and the potion formula of the 'Wind Dependent' at a high price, well, different people, this should be a medium-order thing, right? Sounds interesting, ah yes, are you interested?"

Eastland was stunned for a moment, and said after a few seconds:

"I'll go back and ask. ”

"Good. Audrey replied briskly, as if she simply thought similar mid-series transactions were interesting.

Eastland withdrew his attention and said seriously:

"Miss Audrey, although you are already an Extraordinary Person in Sequence 8, you have no formal occult education, and you do not know enough about many of the practical techniques of 'audience' and 'mind reader' and the corresponding theoretical foundations, and from today onwards, I will guide you to gradually become truly extraordinary. ”

"That's exactly what I wanted. Audrey said sincerely.

Susie, the big golden retriever dog squatting at her feet, also wagged her tail happily, as if she was happy for her master.

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

Having made up his mind to be passive and slack, Klein took a horse-drawn carriage and returned to 15 Minsk Street.

He opened the door and entered the house, and was about to take off his hat, when his movements suddenly froze.

His spiritual instincts told him that strangers had entered the living room, had entered the room!

This...... There's almost no concealment...... Is it a warning? It's better to have a warning than not to have one...... Crane stood in the foyer, silent for a long time.

Immediately, he turned around and went out the door, and took a taxi to the Steam Chapel.

The church towers chimneys, the former representing the power of steam, and the bell tower, the latter hanging intricate clocks that symbolize the beauty of machinery.

It was not a weekend, nor was it noon or night, and the church hall was filled with quiet prayers.

Crane sat down in the aisle, leaned on his cane, took off his hat, and prayed for ten minutes in front of the emblem.

Then he took his things, walked down the aisle to the altar, and said to the bishop who was standing beside him:

"I want to repent. ”

"Well, God is watching you. The bishop, with his pale sideburns and a kind face, walked to the side confessional room first.

Crane followed and closed the door.

He sat down in his chair and said to the bishop through the plank:

"I repented, I faced the crisis, I didn't stick to my principles, I chose to retreat. ”

"What was your mind at the time?" the bishop asked softly.

Klein immediately described Talim's death, his own suspicions, a reminder of the "mechanical heart", Prince Edsak's commission, and his heartfelt retreat in the face of the royal family's tilt after the divination failed to get the answer he wanted.

The reason why he did not go directly to Carlsen was because he was worried that he would not only be watched by the other side, but also secretly observed by Prince Edsak's people, and that if he clearly stated his perfunctory and sabotage intentions, he might encounter other misfortunes.

The Steam Chapel is the headquarters of the Church of Steam and the Mechanics Diocese of Beckland, one of their three sanctuary sites, and no one can peep into it.

Klein's intention was to use the Steam Church to convey his true thoughts and avoid being drawn into deeper conflicts.

Simply put, follow the will of the heart.

The bishop listened quietly, and replied in an unchanged tone:

"Your choice is human instinct, and God will not blame you.

"Go back, and God will bless you. ”

That's good...... Crane understood the hint and quietly left the steam chapel.

Standing on the street outside, looking at the misty sky, he sighed silently:

Boost as soon as possible.
