Chapter 373: Psychic
At the door of the house at No. 33 Tiemen Street, Xiao Ke, who had already finished sending the letter, was about to open the door with the key, when his spirit was suddenly touched, and he intuitively felt that there was something wrong in the house.
Xiao Ke, who is experienced in "escape", did not hesitate to use "ability" and enter the state of "stealth". But at this moment, a deep feeling of tranquility instantly permeated, his eyelids drooped heavily, and he only struggled for a few seconds before falling to the ground and falling asleep.
Inside the house, Klein, who was holding the "Nightmare Badge", breathed a sigh of relief and did not dare to delay, and summoned his spirit with the ritual that had been prepared a long time ago.
Then, after reinforcing the spirit with the "Azk Bronze Whistle", he went straight through the wall and possessed the "lady".
Outside the door, "Shoko" staggered to his feet, picked up the key in his hand, opened the door and walked into the house, all the way to a room filled with the empty scent of "Amanda" hydrosol and "Psic" potion.
After he sat down on a chair with a blank face, a transparent and illusory figure suddenly separated from his body, which was Crane's spirit body.
The "summoning" ended on its own, and the spirit disappeared instantly, but it wasn't long before the door was pushed open and Crane walked in from the next room.
Looking at the "lady" who was still trapped in the dream, Klein quickly arranged the "psychic" ritual and relied on the "Nightmare Badge" to enter the other party's dream.
β¦β¦
In an empty cemetery, Crane saw the young man standing in front of a tombstone. The other party's eyes were sad and sad, and he stared at the name on the tombstone so quietly, tears streaming down little by little.
There is no doubt that this young man is the so-called "Kaye Shaw", and he is indeed a man disguised as a woman.
Crane glanced at the inscription and vaguely identified the owner of the tombstone as a police inspector with the surname Vane.
He walked up to the young man and asked bluntly, "What's your name and why are you dressed as a woman?" β
"My name is Shoko...... Prepare to change her name to 'Kaye Shaw' after becoming a 'witch'...... Pretending to be a woman is because it is easier to interact with the wives of the Storm Believers...... Of course, this is also for the sake of their reputation, and if people find out that they are in a relationship with a man, their life will be even more difficult. Shawco replied in a daze.
Hearing this, Crane's serious expression softened significantly. Although this "instigator" is intensifying the conflict in order to "play", he is not a bad person, and it can even be said that he has a better character than most of the "wild extraordinary" Klein has ever seen, because he is willing to think from the perspective of ordinary people.
However, Klein is still keenly aware of the problem revealed in the words of this young man named Shaw - he not only knows the "method of playing", but also may know that the follow-up of the "instigator" is "witch", and even prepared a new name for his transgender self!
"Did you know that being a 'witch' makes you a woman?" Crane thought for a moment and asked cautiously. What if the other party just thinks that it is convenient to play a female name after becoming a "witch"?
"Know...... Before she told me the recipe for the 'Assassin' potion, Lady Lina explained to me in detail the features of this remarkable path...... Later, Detective Bryan also reminded me vaguely...... But I need strength......" Shoko said, feeling a little agitated.
Seeing this, Klein hurriedly used the "Sleep Charm" to "coax" him to calm down, and thought in his heart:
Lina? "Witch" Lina? The Lina who saved Kornli's life in Tingen? This Xiao Ke turned out to be the extraordinary path that she led on, no wonder as a "wild" extraordinary, but he knew the "playing method" and the name of the subsequent potion.
However, Detective Brian ...... It's Mr. "Tower", right? This Xiao Ke actually knows him too? It's a wonderful fate...... Could it be that Lina is also one of Mr. "Tower's many female friends"? Well, no wonder he knows so much about "witches......
He wanted Shawco to elaborate on his relationship with Lina and Detective Brian, but by this time it was already half past one o'clock, and it wouldn't be long before Mrs. Corson and others would come to the door, and Crane hadn't asked what the psychic wanted to know most about this time......
Things went unexpected.,I just wanted to ask him about his origin and motives, and depending on the results of the interrogation, I either let him go.,Or kill him directly...... In any case, there will be no delay until two o'clock.
Can ...... now
In a flash of thought, Crane's eyes lit up, and he had an idea, he looked at Shoko, who had been staring at the tombstone, and asked again: "If you have something to do temporarily, how do you notify your 'students' that the party is canceled?" β
"Just put down the curtains on the window on the second floor facing the street and they knew something was wrong with me...... This is a pre-agreed code. Shoko replied honestly.
Hearing this, Crane immediately performed a divination, and after making sure that he was not lying, he immediately left the dream and went to the second floor to lower the curtain.
Immediately afterward, he returned to his dream and continued to ask, "Why did you 'instigate' the wives of the Storm Followers to divorce?" β
"A lot of reasons...... First of all, to play the role of 'instigator'...... I was confused for a while after I was promoted to Sequence 8 because I couldn't find a way to finish the role without hurting the others...... It wasn't until a kind gentleman gave me guidance that the teachings of the Storm Church were very unfair to women, and that it was just to 'instigate' them to fight......
"Secondly, my friend Bruce was caught during the raid at the 'Church of the Storm'...... He had never done anything bad, and was mercilessly imprisoned in the church grounds just because he had become extraordinary...... I still don't know if I live or die......
"I'm sorry for him, and I'm sorry for Inspector Vane! Bruce was Inspector Wayne's favorite son during his lifetime...... But I couldn't save his fiancΓ©e and let her be eaten by monsters first, and later, in order to make amends, I gave him the 'corpse collector' recipe I had collected myself...... Now it seems that it hurt him!
"That's why I made up my mind to instigate the wives of the Storm Believers."
"In the end, I didn't give up on the idea of rescuing Bruce...... If my actions make the substitutes tired of coping, I may be able to use the opportunity to create chaos and save Bruce...... Although there is little hope. β
He's really the "wild dog" of the extraordinary party...... After hearing this, Klein sighed secretly, then frowned, and said in his heart:
The latter two reasons are understandable, they are human nature, and there is nothing to doubt about them...... But in the first reason, the so-called kind gentleman is very suspicious!
Could it be that there are other people behind this matter?
As soon as he thought of this, Klein asked directly, "Who is the kind gentleman who taught you?" How did you meet him? β
"Sir is sir, we met and we met......" Xiao Ke replied confusedly.
Hearing such a reply, Klein's brows furrowed even tighter, and he blurted out, "Don't you doubt his motives?" β
"Sir is inherently trustworthy." Shoko affirmed.
At this moment, Klein already understood that the young man in front of him was definitely being used, and even his subconscious mind was passive!
After bowing his head and pondering for a moment, he pondered and asked, "What does that gentleman look like?" β
Xiao Ke did not speak this time, but directly manifested a figure beside him.
After seeing the figure's face clearly, Klein was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "Stewart?!" β
When Stewart went to Tingen as a member of the "Joint Investigation Team", Klein had met him a few times at Blackthorn Security, so he recognized him immediately.
I remember that in Mrs. Corson's description, Stewart advocated the equality of husband and wife in marriage...... Could it be that in order for his ideas to be implemented, he "guided" Xiao Ke, a relatively kind "instigator", to achieve his goal?
Klein shook his head and dismissed the above idea, because if Stewart was really behind it, he couldn't have gotten the result so easily without a little protection......
After all, you can be "psychic", and the official extraordinary can also do it...... And with Shawco's current "instigation" method, it won't take long to attract the attention of the substitute punisher, and it is inevitable that he will be caught at that time.
So someone is framing Stewart? Who will it be? His enemies within the church? Want to use it to undermine his prestige? After all, even if Stewart can prove his innocence, as long as public opinion is guided at the right time, it will be difficult to implement his ideas......
Wait a minute...... Wrong...... The figure that Shoko appears in is Mr. Stewart's! This shows that the other party has the ability to change their appearance...... Facelings?!
Could it be that someone from the Esoteric Order is framing Stewart? Well, it could be big!
From the perspective of the Esoteric Order, Stewart's previous joint investigation team was originally investigating the Esoteric Order, and it was normal for Rosago to die at his hands in the end, and Stewart also had that strength.
According to Mr. "Tower" revealed a few words from the Tarot Society, it is likely that the "Wind Favorer" who died in the "Witch of Pain" incident in the Storm Church was made a "secret puppet" by Rosago! There is a grudge between them, and so is the motive......
Capable and motivated, the investigator who is still searching for Rosago, I would also think it was Stewart's hand if I were him...... Now it makes sense to take revenge and go back.
Oh, I'm analyzing them in the same way...... lived up to the surname Moriarty...... He laughed at himself and put the speculation on hold for the time being, wanting to wait until he went back to the gray mist to confirm before dealing with it.
Crane then settles down and asks about Chauco's past and relationship with Lina and Detective Brian.
After a while, when Xiao Komu closed his mouth, Klein took a deep breath and thought:
It turns out that the "Fallen Morning Star" was given to Mr. "Tower" by Lina, and its origin is so bizarre, no wonder "Tower" asked me to help with divination......
The person who asked for the main material of "Witch of Pleasure" last night was instructed by a "witch" who is currently close to Prince Edsak? For this reason, Shawco also wrote back to Lina?
His Royal Highness the Prince has a unique taste...... But that's my business......
However, considering that Xiao Ke's matter may involve the Esoteric Order, Crane hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind to once again summon his spirit body to possess the sleeping Xiao Ke, and control him to recite the honorific name of "Fool"!
In this way, he was able to establish a relationship with me without knowing anything, and I could also learn indirectly about the Tantric Society's plans for him at any time through him...... And, of course, there's what happened to Lina and the prince. It's a lot of money.
After doing all this, Klein unhurriedly cleared the traces he had left behind and left the house at 33 Iron Gate Street.
After a while, Xiao Ke finally came to his senses, he was a little confused at first, but suddenly realized something, and his face suddenly turned pale.
But soon, his eyes were confused again, as if triggering some kind of hint in his heart, and he said to himself: "My 'student' still needs help, and I can't just give up ......"
β¦β¦
At night, in the ancient hall above the gray mist, Klein looked at the citrine pendant that turned clockwise and sighed, "Sure enough, the tantric monks are behind it...... And once again, I crossed paths with them......
"Is this what Russell calls the 'same pathway aggregation effect'?
"It's not something I can solve...... Well, the next Tarot meeting will tell the hanged man about this euphemistically, and ask him to find a way to inform Stewart...... As a 'Mystic Master', I'm sure he's capable of handling this. β
Next, after looking at the case file sent by Detective Issinger on the gray mist for a while, he had to return to reality due to mental exhaustion and lack of spirituality.
Before going to bed, Crane muttered to himself, confused, "Did I forget something?" β
β¦β¦
In Damir Harbor, Abner, who was waiting for Mr. "Fool" to inform him of the start of the "online class" after watching Mr. Gaston make magical items, looked at his pocket watch and couldn't help but wonder: "Klein is so busy?" Or did he forget about it? β
