Led by Kohler Sr., Crane and Esther arrive at an old apartment in the East End and enter the damp room.

The wrinkled older woman stood among the piles of clothes, looking like a dried and dying old tree, her face wrinkled and cracked, and her eyes devoid of light.

Another girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, was sitting on the edge of the bed and weeping, crying and repenting at the same time.

The washer, who was clearly "Liv", turned around and yelled at her eldest daughter:

"What are you crying about? Get up and do your laundry! Do you want to go hungry? Can't you go to a free school if you want to!? ”

After this brief venting, she realized that there were several people standing by the door: "Old Kohler...... Who are these two? ”

Old Khloe was obviously shocked by the scene just now, and subconsciously took a step back: "Ahem, Liv, this is Mr. Detective, he thinks, he wants to help you find Daisy." ”

Daisy is naturally the missing little daughter.

Liv looked numb and replied coldly, "We have called the police." ”

As Klein convinces the mother with a cruel reality, Esther looks around the house, where there are many wet clothes, and the lingering smell of the damp smell seems to be able to swell people together, and it is impossible to hope for good health in such an environment for a long time, and Liv's appearance in her thirties is too old.

The tiring life has led her to put all her spiritual support on the children, but now Daisy is gone.

Eventually, Liv tells Klein what happened, and asks them for an item that Daisy always carries, and when Crane says, "I can borrow a police dog," Esther immediately turns her head to the side.

She knew in her heart that Crane was going to find someone through divination, but this excuse made her want to laugh.

When he left here, Klein had a word book that belonged to Daisy.

After saying goodbye to old Kohler, Klein asked Esther, "I'm going to follow up now, do you want to be together?" ”

Esther nodded, of course, "I have a hunch that this matter has the same origin as the one I want to investigate. ”

Klein reacted immediately: "You think it's going to be the same people?" It's all Kapin behind the scenes? ”

"We don't have any evidence now, so let's chase it first."

After leaving the Eastern End, the two hired a horse-drawn carriage, and Esther saw Klein's cane divination, and once again sighed at the strangeness of the extraordinary world.

After an intermittent redirection, the carriage stopped at Iris Street, west of Jowood.

It's not far from the West End, and the cane falls precisely into a luxurious house with a vast lawn and garden. As Klein looked out the window, Esther was mentally proofreading Bakeland's map, marking the location in the area.

When Klein instructed the coachman to proceed, the coachman glanced into the carriage and suddenly lowered his voice, "Sir, if you want to come to visit Monsieur Capping, should you not take the lady with you......"

However, with Esther's hearing, she could still hear it clearly even when the coachman lowered his voice, but on the surface she didn't make a sound, but put on a bored stare out the window, giving Klein a chance to investigate.

Klein whispered to the coachman, "Why do you think so?" ”

"People often come out of the East End and come here in my carriage, hehe, this is the home of the rich man Mr. Capin."

Esther's eyes froze, and the two disappearances were connected in this way.

Sure enough, it was Kaping......

Klein asked the coachman to move forward, and then exchanged a look with Esther, who both nodded at the same time.

As they walked on, the luxurious villa was left behind the carriage, still so serene and beautiful, but with a completely different feeling in the eyes of the two of them.

"There's a gathering of the Extraordinary tonight, do you want to come to it?"

Esther shook her head: "No, I'm going to investigate the matter of Kapin first, and I'll go with you next time I'll go with you." ”

"Also, do you want to go back first? I'm afraid this matter can't be rushed, we will dismiss the nearby steam subway station first, and I will have to go back and investigate some information. ”

The carriage shook slightly, but Esther stared at Klein without speaking, Crane immediately felt a little weak, if it weren't for the "Joker" ability to control the micro-expressions on his face, he might have shown uneasiness because of the use of these words to prevaricate his fellow countrymen.

However, the "fraudster" and the "decryptor" have a keen sense of lies, so that Esther realizes that Klein has other thoughts hidden behind him, and he does want to investigate some information, but also intends to plan further actions on his own.

If Klein's idea were to be debunked directly, it would probably leave a lot of estrangement between the two, and Esther didn't want that to happen.

"Okay, but if you're going to face a dangerous situation, remember to call me."

Klein nodded hurriedly: "If things are so dangerous, I will go to you." ”

In case there is a possibility of exposing a special gray fog, it is absolutely impossible, so sorry, fellow. Klein added in his mind.

Esther suddenly whispered, "It has something to do with your special abilities?" ”

Klein was stunned, and could only continue to nod helplessly: "I really can't hide anything from you......"

Ace nodded at her right eyebrow, "The Thief's sequence seven is called 'Decryptor', and you should be able to guess the range of its capabilities from this name." ”

"I see. Although it is not obvious on the surface, the scope of application of this ability is quite extensive. Klein was stunned.

"It's important to be hidden, probably because it's easy to get caught if you don't want to steal it." Esther said casually, "Do you need magical items?" However, if you give it to someone else, the side effects are quite serious. ”

"What's that?"

"Actually, I wanted to call it the Conan bow tie at first," Esther pulled out the blood-red bow tie from her satchel that corresponded to the "judge" path of the arbitrator sequence six, "because of the similarity...... But then I just called it 'obsessive-compulsive bow tie'. In addition to OCD, there is an even worse side effect, which is that the blood of living animals must be fed after use, and the amount required is measured according to the number of times it is used. ”

Klein was very curious: "The negative effect is so serious, is the ability of this seal very strong?" ”

"Wait a minute."

Esther glanced in the direction of the coachman, and saw that he was not paying attention to the situation in the carriage at all, so a few points of light floated out of the hair of Esther's sideburns and flew lightly on the bow tie, and they dissolved in circles, so that the blood scattered on the bow tie dimmed and became almost completely black.

Then Esther shoved the thing directly into Klein's hand:

"You can take it and study it first, because I only know some of its abilities until now, including 'Forbidden', 'Imprisonment', 'Exile', 'Whipping' and 'Death', all of which need to be activated by corresponding gestures, based on the last person who used it. I can feel that it should be more than that, if you research other abilities, just tell me, I feel like you'll have more than I do. ”

Klein was a little puzzled at first, but remembering that Esther had been "selectively taught" by old Neil when she was in Tingen, he knew that she probably hadn't been exposed to any ritual magic.

Esther probably wouldn't be able to investigate all sorts of extraordinary objects through divination like Klein, and even if she wanted to know the "judge's" ability to correspond, she couldn't find a place.

"I see, just borrowing research, I'll pay you back soon."

Esther shook her hand indifferently: "If you think this thing is useful, you can keep it, you really don't want to go, you can exchange some extraordinary items that can fight in close combat with me." ”

Klein chuckled, "You're really keen on hand-to-hand combat. ”

"Because it's more straightforward, it's a pity that I'm not an assassin," Esther moved her fingers and wrists, almost pulling out a hand flower with an afterimage in the air, "I've always liked assassins, it sounds like a high-level martial arts class that walks on the wall." ”

Klein's eyes immediately moved out of the car window, and he was embarrassed to overly hit the curiosity of his fellow countrymen, and directly said that the "witch" would change gender:

"No, no, no, the 'Assassin' route is dangerous, you must not think of that. The more they go on, the more their abilities are contrary to those of the 'Assassins', and they can easily cause disasters......"

Esther just sighed casually, but she didn't take it to heart, but she was amused by Crane's reaction: "But the sequence can't be changed, until I find a way to be promoted, I'd better be this 'dream stealer'." ”

——

After parting ways with Klein at the Steam station, Esther did not return to her residence in the East End, but instead went to the banks of the Tasok River and found a cheap hotel.

Just as Klein had her own plans, Asther had her own plans, and it was impossible to predict how long the captured girls would survive in the Caping family.

Penny was taken away much earlier, and her situation was only more dangerous than Liv's youngest daughter, Daisy, and if Penny was transferred somewhere else, there would really never be news.

Esther's "spiritual intuition" prompted her to make up her mind to investigate tonight. She will no longer restrain herself from using her abilities, even if she only looks at the big names that Kapin has befriended, the guards around him will not be simple.

Esther wasn't so reckless as to assassinate Capin, and her plan for tonight was just to scout the neighborhood and figure out the exits and terrain to get in and out.

She planned to do only one infiltration, and if she could understand the internal structure of the Kaping family's house, it would be easy to guess where the dungeon where the girls were being held.

Ordinary people are powerless to resist in the face of the "Dream Stealer's" ability to steal, and Esther should be wary of the possible extraordinary.

The best outcome is to find out the distribution of Karping Province without alarming anyone, and then find a way to cause chaos and take the opportunity to rescue the innocent people who have been captured.

Esther was empty-handed, and she really didn't have the confidence to actually challenge Kapin and the guards around him, but once she figured out the inside situation, she was naturally able to share the news with Klein.

When the two join forces, the safety and likelihood of success should be greatly improved.

These were all considerations for Esther when she was resting at the inn, but what she didn't know was-

Someone really planned to assassinate Kapin directly.
