Chapter 107: Action
Is there an abnormal reaction? It seems that it is really a "blasphemy card"! After receiving the reply, Klein, who entered the gray mist, was first overjoyed, and then inexplicably exclaimed:
"Miss 'Justice' is too efficient, isn't she?"
"I commissioned the task in the afternoon, and she completed the verification this evening......
"Moreover, this is clearly past the closing time of the Kingdom Museum!"
"The 'mind reader' definitely doesn't have the extraordinary ability to infiltrate!"
"Hey, I'm afraid her family's power is even greater than I imagined......"
"Fortunately, there is no strange phenomenon in the verification, otherwise Miss 'Justice' can only pretend to be innocent and hand over the cards, which means that I have nothing to do with the treasure...... Nothing is 100% sure......"
In a flash of thought, Klein heard Miss "Justice's" follow-up question again:
"Mr. Fool, what secret is hidden in that bookmark?"
"Well, if your dependents don't want to give an answer, I don't ask. ”
Of course, there is a "secret of the blasphemy card"! Crane sighed silently with joy.
After thinking about it carefully, he decided to wait for the "blasphemy card" to arrive before responding to Miss "Justice", lest she be too shocked and behave abnormally, so that his actions would be affected badly.
Crane was in no hurry to return to the real world, just sat in the silence and emptiness of the old palace, thinking about when and how to act.
Miss "Justice" caused a little damage to the bookmark, and I wonder if it will be discovered in the future...... Or, the bookmark will slowly show something unusual and attract attention...... So, we can't delay, we can't wait, it's better to do it tonight! After all kinds of ideas were boiling for a while, Klein gradually made a decision.
Then, based on his observations in the morning, he sketched out the layout of the first floor of the Kingdom Museum and the general surroundings.
Looking at this drawing, Klein deduced different courses of action, and soon established a relatively safe plan.
Finally, he did a divination again to confirm the degree of danger.
Seeing that nothing had changed, he returned to the real world and began to make various preparations.
Klein's original idea was to "draw" the pattern in his memory in the way he responded to himself, forge a similar bookmark, and replace it after infiltrating, so as to ensure that no one noticed and knew about it for a long time, and when it happened, there would be no way to trace him.
However, after repeated scrutiny, he felt that this was not good, as long as the forged bookmark was discovered, the most suspicious thing was Miss "Justice" who touched the original bookmark today.
I can't put Miss Justice at high risk for the sake of treasure, she did it to help me!Klein finally figured out how not to make Miss Justice suspicious.
That is, not only steal the bookmark you need, but also the surrounding parts, including some of the lighter ones!
Call...... Getting ready, Crane took out his gold-shelled pocket watch, pressed it open, and looked at it, patiently waiting for the time after 9 o'clock and before the wee hours of the morning.
Too early, the people around him haven't slept to meet the needs of his plan of action, too late, there will be almost no pedestrians on the streets, just walking on the road, it is easy to be suspicious, and during this time, because of the serial murders, the whole of Beckland is in a state of tight martial law.
This is good for Klein's actions, and there are disadvantages!
Tick, tick, the hands kept moving, and as the night deepened, the red moon jumped out, and they finally passed 9 o'clock.
Crane took the "master key" and other things, took his cane, first went to the East End to change his outfit, and then took a taxi carriage several times to arrive at a place not a short distance from King Avenue in the West End.
By this time, an hour and three quarters of an hour had passed.
His original plan was not actually like this, he wanted to use his own way to summon himself, to respond to himself, to become a spirit state, to fly the distance from Jowood District to the West End at a very fast speed, and then infiltrate the Kingdom Museum, with the help of that special, imperceptible way to succeed.
However, he eventually abandoned the plan because of the potential, high risk.
There are high-level powerhouses in Beckland, and there is more than one!
In the case of the serial murder case that has caused panic in people's hearts, but has not been solved for a long time, maybe there are high-level powerhouses who are consciously using their extraordinary abilities or corresponding sealing items to monitor certain areas, and the distance from Jowood District to the West District is not long, nor is it short, and the probability of a special spirit flying over like this is not low.
This should not be completely ignored because the results of divination are "said to be dangerous but not very high", because the answers obtained by divination are basically not intuitive answers, but revelations that need to be interpreted.
In other words, the result of "a certain danger but not very high" requires a premise, that is, you have made a relatively good choice.
So, Klein went cautious and revised the original plan, but retained the core meaning.
............
2 King's Avenue, Kingdom Museum.
On top of the polygonal sloping roof, four security guards in tweed coats stood in the cold wind of the late autumn night, carefully examining their respective directions, and once someone approached the museum, it was difficult to hide from their eyes, even with the help of the shadows of trees and houses.
Just from this arrangement, it can be seen that the security company that took over this commission is very professional.
"There's still half an hour to ......rotate," one of the security guards shivered as he looked at his companions patrolling the house below.
In the museum, the remaining security personnel are divided into four groups, following different routes and patrolling the various exhibition halls at intervals.
In the exhibition hall where Russell's diary is kept, Max Levimore, the leader of the "Heart of the Machine" team, wears monocles that can directly see spirit-like monsters such as the ghost of the ghost, carries a lantern, and checks back and forth, sometimes going out to check the situation elsewhere.
Two of his subordinates remained in the small hall, next to Russell's diary.
But there was an extra item on the glass display case.
It was a bunch of colorful bricks that made up a miniature image of the first floor of the museum.
This is also a sealed item, as long as the deformable building blocks are put together to form a corresponding building, it can establish a connection with the real thing, and once someone breaks in, the top of it will immediately shrink.
Of course, there are a lot of limitations to this correspondence, and it can't be separated too far, and it can't have enough bricks to put together.
And the people and things inside can hardly leave without external help.
"Captain, do you think someone is really going to steal this notebook? I don't understand it at all!" one of the team members asked in a bored manner when he saw Max coming back with a lantern.
Max smiled and said:
"Some people are very fanatical about the adoration of Russell, and it's not something you can understand. ”
"Some of them think they can crack it, they just need more references, while others believe that the symbols themselves contain mysterious powers, and if they find the right combination, they will gain extraordinary powers. ”
"In previous exhibitions, such criminals would be caught from time to time. ”
"That's why we didn't take the diary away and put it in the sealed place, waiting for someone to 'turn himself in'?" another member of the team asked abruptly.
Max nodded:
"Who doesn't want the feats that are sent to the front?"
............
18 King's Avenue, outside the building near the crossroads.
Klein walked in a straight line along the shadows and sheltered places, using the "master key" from time to time, and finally arrived here.
He took out the rustic brass-colored key again, pointed it at the kitchen door, and twisted it silently.
Imperceptibly swaying in the water, Crane entered the room, and found a storage room without alerting anyone.
"This 'master key' is really practical! It's just that the two masters in front of me have lost their way and become in dangerous places, so people don't dare to ......carry them with them all the time," Crane sighed, put away the brass-colored key, and took out the Holy Night Powder when it was next to the servant's bedroom, soothing his spirituality, and sealed off the entire storage room, so that the movement inside could not be heard.
Then, he pulled out a candle and placed it on the chest in front of him.
He snapped his fingers, letting pale blue spiritual flames erupt from his fingertips.
After the candle was lit, he summoned himself according to the flow of ritual magic, and responded to himself above the gray mist.
Less than a minute later, Crane was floating in the room, opposite his flesh with eyes that had lost their sparkle.
Accustomed to this feeling, he wrapped the ancient and delicate Azk bronze whistle, making the spirit stable and powerful, and causing the cold wind to begin to swirl in the room.
At the same time, he also used this power to slightly change the appearance of the illusory spirit, making his face appear to be painted with a layer of oil paint.
After doing all this, Crane took a box of the usual matches bought at random on the street, cut a transparent door in the spiritual wall, and walked out.
"Action!"
He breathed himself down silently, and like a real ghost, he passed through one house after another to reach the perimeter of the Kingdom Museum.
Without turning on his vision, he could clearly see every security officer in this state, and their aura and emotional color betrayed them unreservedly.
Finding the yellow, withered lawn and the iron-black light pole facing the windows of the exhibition hall, Crane did not swagger past him on the advantage that ordinary people could not see him, but followed the shadows, followed the route that was difficult to be seen, through the tree carvings, through the obstacles, and carefully reached his destination, clinging to the walls - he could not guarantee that the security personnel were not mixed with a member of the "Mechanical Heart" team.
At this moment, the four security guards on the rooftop, who were carefully examining their respective areas of responsibility, were like real blind people, and they couldn't find anything.
Klein didn't enter the gallery directly, both because his inspiration and intuition told him that the first floor of the museum was shrouded in mysterious powers, and because he couldn't confirm if there were any extraordinary people inside.
As planned, he went around to the other side, to a bathroom room closer to the exhibition hall where Russell's Diary was located, and threw the box of matches he had brought with him through the vent.
Immediately after, he flew up and flew into the second floor!
