"Please come in. ”

Dunn Smith's mellow and warm voice came out.

Crane twisted the handle and pushed open the door, where he saw the captain enjoying breakfast, the rich aroma of coffee on his right, and the white bread, toast, and bacon on his plate.

Dunn put the butter-filled remnants of toast in his mouth and silently gestured to the chair across from his desk.

Crane didn't disturb the captain's meal, smiled, sat down, and waited patiently.

Seeing that he was not in a hurry, Dunn relaxed his straight back, picked up his coffee, took a sip, and swallowed all the food in his mouth into his stomach.

He pulled out a soft tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth

"What's the matter?"

Klein nodded seriously and said:

"I've met Dast Guderian, the madhouse doctor, a member of the Psychic Alchemy. ”

As he spoke, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and found that there was an open magazine in front of the captain.

"What information did he provide?" asked Dunn, clasping his hands together.

"He told me that before Hood Eugen went mad, he had been visited frequently, and that man was Laneus. ”

"Lanerus......" Dunn raised his hand and rubbed the corner of his forehead, "I seem to have heard of ...... somewhere"

"It's the fraudster who took away at least 10,000 gold pounds. Klein reminded.

Dunn thought about it with a serious expression, and shook his head to indicate that he was not impressed.

Captain, you're not sensitive to money at all!" Klein sneered, and recounted the key points related to Lanerys:

"The fraudster falsely claimed to have discovered and purchased a high-quality iron ore mine and privately raised funds to develop it in the city of Tingen, taking away more than 10,000 gold pounds, a friend I met in the divination club suffered a loss, and a girl was deceived into getting engaged to him and conceived his child. ”

"He's visited Hood Eugen several times before he went mad...... Dunn mused, "Sequence 8's Extraordinary, 'Swindler......'?"

Captain, you have such a good memory on something like that...... Klein laughed and sighed, nodded lightly:

"That's my guess too. ”

"Because the steel company set up by Lanerus in the Southern District, the deceived people have various beliefs, so this matter was not transferred to us in the end, and even if the police department found some extraordinary traces, it was handed over to the 'substitute punishment' team. ”

Dunn finally understood what was going on, looked at Klein with dark gray eyes and said:

"What do you want to do?"

Ahem, Captain, don't be so sharp...... Klein replied in a serious manner:

"I wanted to use the psychic ritual to communicate with Captain Eugen to find out what was going on with Ranus, and to find out if it was the direct cause of his madness. ”

Dunn bowed slightly:

"Even if you don't apply, I'll try something similar when I'm sure Hood Eugen is really crazy. ”

"However, Dalie has told me that this kind of thing is quite risky, and you are sure that you are sure?, or that I should apply for assistance from the diocese of Beckland, and it should be fine to delay for a few days. ”

Klein's main motivation to become an extraordinary person was to study the occult, find a way home, have the opportunity to practice, and have strong self-confidence, so he was naturally unwilling to give up:

"Captain, I've got the knowledge of this and I'm sure of it. ”

"Of course, I need the help of 'Amanda' hydrosol, 'Psionic Eye' potion, and 'Tranquility Elixir'. ”

"Elixir ...... Seren," Dunn chewed on the name, confirming Klein's professionalism.

He remembered that Dai Li had said that this was a relatively obscure but very useful potion in the psychic realm.

After more than ten seconds of deliberation, Dunn Smith leaned back in his chair and said:

"Then you write an application, go to Chanis Gate and get the corresponding potion, ...... I don't know if there is a finished potion, if not, I will get the corresponding materials and mix and refine it myself. ”

"Okay. Klein replied delightfully.

But he didn't get up there, and sat firmly in his chair.

Seeing this, Dunn raised his hand and rubbed the corner of his forehead, and thought carefully:

"In the afternoon, it was my turn to monitor the asylum...... We can't go directly to Hood Eugen, no one knows if the doctors, nurses, handymen, and patients in the insane asylum still have members of the Psychological Alchemy Society, and no one knows if the Psychological Alchemy Society is also spying on Gray Eugen, and our actions must be stealthy enough not to expose the fact that Daxter Guderian has become our informant. ”

“...... We went early in the morning and sneaked in secretly. ”

"Well, I'll stay by and be on the lookout for accidents. ”

If Hood Eugen was just a fake madman, and I used a psychic ritual on him, wouldn't it be the same as going into a zoo and dancing in front of a tiger...... Klein put his mind at ease and said sincerely:

"Yes, Captain!"

He stood up and turned to walk to the door.

At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he swept to the title of the magazine that was spread out in front of the captain:

"The Donensman sap in the rainforests of the Southern Continent has a significant effect on promoting hair growth. ”

...... Crane withdrew his gaze pityingly and pulled the door out of the captain's office.

Suddenly, a playful thought flashed him:

If old Neil was still around, he would probably suggest devise a hair-growing ritual magic to pray to the goddess for help, and whether he would eventually grow full of body hair and turn into a curly-haired baboon, that's another question...... And how would the goddess react? If it were me, I would definitely say: MMP......

This thought suddenly tinged Klein's happiness with sadness, and the sadness was full of comical.

He entered the civilian office, sat down in front of the Axon Model 1346 mechanical typewriter, and clicked on the application.

When Dunn Smith had signed and stamped, he took the application and went underground to the Chanice Gate along the gaslight-lit aisle.

It was only at this time that Klein thought of a question:

This will be the first time he has entered that mysterious door after that!

"I don't know what it's going to look like behind the door......" he quickened his pace in anticipation to the black iron gate that was open and gave people a sense of admiration.

After handing over the application to Siga Teang, who was on duty today, Klein retrieved an extra signed document and knocked on Chanis's door, only to feel that the echo inside was empty and distant.

After waiting for dozens of seconds, he saw the open door inscribed with the seven dark emblems open and creaked without hearing the sound of footsteps.

Chanis's door was open enough for one person to pass through before he paused, and Crane could see the scene nearby by the glow of the gas lamps on either side of the hallway.

Behind the door stood an old man with deep wrinkles and thinning hair, dressed in a black classical robe and carrying a horse lantern.

The dim light of the candle flame shone through the glass, illuminating the old man's expressionless face with light and dark, and his light blue eyes seemed to be frozen ice cubes for thousands of years.

file. He hoarsely spat out a word.

Klein had seen the old man, for at the end of each evening he and his companions would come out of the Chanis Gate, pass through the guard room, and turn into the church of St. Selena.

They are the old night watchmen, the volunteer internal caretakers.

As far as Klein knows, there are five such caretakers.

"This is my application. He handed the document in his hand to the old man in front of him.

The inner caretaker with a pair of light blue eyes raised the lantern and looked at it carefully to make sure it was correct before stepping aside and letting Crane pass.

Crane slowly entered Chanis Gate, and before he could look around, he felt an indescribable coldness.

It's not the bitter cold of winter, it's the coldness that makes even the spirit shiver.

Looking up, Crane saw the candlesticks on the walls, and saw the silver candles carved with patterns, and their burning flames were a faint blue color, without the slightest shaking.

Squeak!

The caretaker closed the Chanis Gate, and the surroundings became extremely quiet.

In front of Klein was a wide aisle paved with old stone slabs.

There are stone doors on both sides of the aisle, which are marked with the words "materials", "potions" and "materials".

At the end of the aisle, there is a staircase that descends into the darkness as if leading to the abyss.

There are supposed to be different sealing points connected to different seals, which are said to be divided into several layers...... It is not known which layer St. Selena's ashes are placed on...... Klein had just adjusted to the brightness behind the door when he suddenly felt something invisible in the air scrape against his skin, one by one, cold to the bone.

He shuddered, and couldn't help but turn on his vision.

Then he looked around, and saw that behind the whole Chanis Gate, there were thin black threads, which swayed gently, sometimes huddled, sometimes extended, densely packed, leaving no blanks.

This...... This is the power of the seal behind Chanis's door?Crane nodded imperceptibly, gathered his thoughts, and followed the caretaker into the "potion room" behind a heavy stone door.

Soon, he found "Amanda" hydrosol, "Psic" potion, and "Tranquility Elixir" based on his initials.

He had seen the first two, and the latter was still in contact for the first time, only to see the translucent glass vial, there was a dark blue liquid gently rippling, just seeing it, it made people feel as if they had returned to their mother's arms.

There is also a label on the bottle that indicates the date of production and the hint that will be valid for half a year.

It's okay, it works...... Crane put away the three vials of potions, and left the Chanis Gate in the company of the caretaker, out of the feeling of being cold to the depths of his soul, and from the strange experience of being swept by black lines.

When the Chanis Gate closed, he couldn't help but look back and muttered to himself:

"If you stay in it for a long time, both the body and the soul will be affected, right?"

"No wonder caretakers have to volunteer......"

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

In the wee hours of the morning, Klein locked the bedroom in a special way, pushed open the window of the bay belly window, and jumped down.

The height of the second floor was not in the slightest danger to him now, and he stood firm and did not shake.

The wagon of the night watchman was parked opposite, waiting for him.

Without much exchange, Klein soon arrived at the Tingen City Lunatic Asylum in the Northern End, where he went around to a corner of the wall with no street lights and saw Dunn Smith waiting there.

"Let's go inside. Dunn bowed his head lightly, "I've confirmed, there's no one around here." ”

"Okay. Crane quickly stepped closer.

Get in...... As a "clown", enter the madhouse...... This always reminds me of the famous saying: It's like coming home...... He teased himself.

Immediately after, he followed Dunn and with the help of certain bulges on the wall, he flipped into the asylum with light and speed, with quick movements and excellent balance.

Dunn glanced back and nodded his head in approval.

The two of them hunched over their backs, through the shadows and secluded places through the lawn and the plaza, into the three floors of the asylum, to the room of Hood Eugen somewhere on the top floor.

Because Hood Eugen was aggressive after he went crazy, he was placed in a single room, and the night watchman's monitoring during this time was not in vain, and he had already copied a key.

Click!

With the slight sound of the door opening, Dunn entered first, and Crane's gaze crossed his figure to see a man sitting on the bed.

Hood Eugen had a long and slender face, deep-set eyes, and his pale yellow hair was disheveled.

He was staring out the iron-barred window with gray-blue eyes, looking out at the crimson moon.

Crane closed the door, laughed, and asked casually:

"Why don't you sleep yet?"

Dunn was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the other party was now the "clown" of Sequence 8, so he kept silent and retreated to the corner.

Hood Eugen turned his head, looked at Klein, and smirked:

"I'm waiting for my cake. ”
