Chapter 196: The Psychic's Mirror (First Monthly Pass)
Klein exited the heavy safe, and only calmed down when he realized that there was nothing wrong.
"That bone statue is very evil...... Although it is not dangerous, it is also inexplicably panicking...... Could it be the so-called 'Primordial Witch', an evil deity called the 'Hidden Sage', the 'Dark Side of the Universe', and the 'True Creator'?" Crane thought of his guess about Lady Sharon just now, and suddenly realized which existence the White Bone Statue might represent.
Just as he was thinking, his spirit suddenly touched and a bad premonition emerged.
Crane hurried to the intricately patterned window, looked out at the road outside the house, and saw a horse-drawn carriage moving quickly and steadily towards the main entrance, illuminated by the light of the gas street lamp.
Mrs. Sharon has returned?
Considering that Triss became a woman after Sequence 8 "The Instigator", it is likely that she belongs to Sequence 7, and Mrs. Sharon has been active in the upper social circles of Tingen City for several years, and is likely stronger than Triss, Crane did not dare to take risks with the "Sun Flame Charm" and "Azk Bronze Whistle", and decided to retreat sensibly.
This is because the former has a limit on the number of pieces, and one less is used, and I don't know when I will wait to cheat the seal of the "Mutated Sun Emblem" again, it is not a critical moment, it is not that there is no other way, Klein does not want to waste it, and he will face the problem of how to explain it afterwards.
He can't tell Dunn that a kind strong man happened to pass by and helped me, right?
As for why the "Azk Bronze Whistle" is not used, it is because Klein is not sure whether the summoned "messenger" has combat effectiveness, what if people are only powerful in appearance and will only send letters?
"With the things I just discovered, it's enough for the Nightwatcher team to go out, why should I go head-to-head with Lady Sharon? I could have beaten her up in a group!" Klein said with a heartfelt emphasis, ending the summoning, swishing back to the gray mist, and then wrapped himself spiritually and fell back into his real-world body.
He quickly extinguished and put away the candles, lifted the spiritual wall, and dodged out of Mrs. Sharon's bedroom, returning the same way he came, but there was no time to restore the latch on the balcony door.
Gliding down the waterpipe and out of the garden through the fence opposite the main entrance, Klein lurked all the way to the next block before taking an expensive night-rental horse-drawn carriage to Zotland Street.
............
Dressed in a black dress but more pretty, Mrs. Sharon walked slowly back to the second floor, sent the maid away, and unscrewed the door of her bedroom.
Her innocent, watery eyes suddenly froze, reflecting almost transparent, invisible filaments that had no spiritual brilliance, like the hair of a diseased human being, and no one could have found them unless they had known about their existence in advance, or had very special eyes.
At this moment, all the filaments were broken and fell to the ground.
Mrs. Sharon narrowed her eyes and cast her gaze on the heavy iron-gray safe.
............
36 Zotland Street, Black Thorn Security.
Dunn, who was reading the newspaper leisurely with his legs crossed, looked at Klein who appeared at the door of his office with a slightly strange expression, and sighed silently:
"Aren't you going to try to infiltrate Mrs. Sharon's house tonight and make a preliminary search?"
“...... Found a problem?"
Klein nodded solemnly:
"Yes. ”
"I suspect that Lady Sharon is a member of the Witch Sect. ”
"A member of the Witch Sect?" Dunn asked solemnly, putting down the newspaper and chewing on the phrase, "what did you find?"
Crane didn't sit down, leaned forward, propped his hands on the edge of the desk and said:
"I first saw a picture of a young man, but a lot like Mrs. Sharon. ”
If he changes into women's clothes, and puts on makeup, beauty, and PS, it will be slightly equal to what Mrs. Sharon looks like now...... Klein couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"Similar to Triss the 'Instigator'?" Dunn's gray eyes flickered, suddenly.
They had previously judged that Triss was most likely a member of the Witch Cult.
"Yes. Crane nodded in a more complicated way, and then said, "Later, with the help of divination skills, I found in a dream that there was a white bone statue in the mezzanine of Mrs. Sharon's safe, it was a beautiful woman, but her hair was long to her ankles, her roots were as thick as poisonous snakes, and there were eyes at the top, which was quite weird, Captain, is this the image of the 'Original Witch'?"
Because the level of secrecy was not enough, he could see very little information about the Witch Sect.
Dunn thought about it for a moment, and said with a solemn expression:
"This is the image of the 'Original Witch'. ”
"We must act now to contain Mrs. Sharon. ”
Klein immediately chimed in, "Well, if Lady Sharon is a mid-order extraordinary member of the Witch Sect, then I don't think she would have noticed that someone had infiltrated her bedroom. ”
At this time, he suddenly had a doubt, and blurted out:
"Captain, why don't the seven orthodox gods have specific images and only use symbols instead, while the evil gods I have come into contact with so far all have humanoid appearances, the 'True Creator' is like this, and the 'Primordial Witch' is like this, is this one of the differences between the righteous gods and the evil gods?"
Why is there such a difference? Klein silently added a question, but wisely did not say it.
This is the difference between a good god and an evil god. Dunn replied in the affirmative, then got up and walked over to the coat rack, "We can't afford to delay any longer, I'm afraid Lady Sharon has absconded." ”
Speaking of which, Dunn paused:
"You go and call Kornley, the three of us act, this can apply for a seal, Lady Sharon is likely to be more than Sequence 7. ”
Captain you are so wise!" Klein replied without hesitation:
"Okay. ”
Then, with a little curiosity, he asked:
"Captain, which seal are you going to use?"
Dunn recalled and pondered for more than ten seconds:
“3—0217。 ”
Because there weren't many seals behind the Chanis Gate in Tingen, Klein quickly remembered what the captain wanted to apply:
"ID: 0217. ”
"Name: Mirror of the Psychic. ”
"Hazard Level: '3', there is a certain danger, it needs to be used with caution, only actions of three or more people can apply. ”
"Confidentiality Level: Full members of the night watchman and above. ”
"Sealing method: Placed in lightless darkness. ”
"Description: The back of this mirror is plated with mercury, and there are three small cracks on the front. ”
When the investigator first approached looked into the mirror, he saw a long-haired, weeping woman inside, and then he noticed that the woman had crawled out of the mirror. ”
"According to many experiments, the image reflected in the mirror is different most of the time, and even if the same person looks at it repeatedly, they will encounter different things and different levels of danger, but they all give priority to the person who looks in the mirror. ”
"One of the most dangerous situations is to see yourself. ”
"If no one looks in this mirror, it will automatically emerge every three hours, provided that there is light. ”
"It doesn't have the property of being alive. ”
"Addendum: This mirror originally belonged to a psychic, and was a very ordinary mirror, until one day, the psychic took a strange account of it, and committed suicide. ”
Indeed, behind the Chanis Gate in Tingen, there are not many seals that can be used in battles between the extraordinary, and "3-0217" is a good choice...... Klein didn't say anything more, and immediately ran to the nightwatcher's recreation room and called out "Sleepless" Kornley.
- Tonight, Loyo is on duty at Chanisgate, Leonard is resting, and Siga Teang is patrolling Raphael's Cemetery and other places, and the new members will not arrive until Sunday, so Dunn can only choose one of Frye and Kornley, considering that Lady Sharon belongs to the Witch Sect and has little to do with necromancy, he chose the latter.
After a few minutes, Dunn returned from underground, holding a mirror tightly wrapped in a thick black cloth.
Frankly, I didn't know it beforehand, I couldn't tell it was a mirror, and there was nothing left exposed...... Klein and the diminutive Kornley greeted him.
"You're in charge of using the seal '3-0217'. Dunn handed the mirror to Kornley.
Seeing this scene, Klein suddenly realized that he was an extraordinary person in Sequence 8, and he had the strength to fight head-on, and he could no longer hide to the side as a simple support.
Hey, I'm a little nervous...... He touched the "Sleep Charm" and other items in his coat pocket to make sure he was ready.
"The only problem is that I didn't have a cane with me for the ease of climbing, well, I can borrow Kornley's, he has a mirror and a pistol, it's enough. Klein's thoughts were dashing, and the three of them went downstairs and hurried to Olsna Street in a cab.
On the way, Kornley glanced at the seal "3-0217" in his palm, and sighed with a little tension:
"This is the first time I have been involved in such a dangerous operation. ”
Under normal circumstances, Nightwatchers do not use seals to deal with extraordinary events.
- When I went to Morse Town to solve the supernatural event before, I applied for the "Mutated Sun Emblem" to prevent a small probability of accidents, because the distance was too far, and the rescue would definitely be too late, but this time, the target was almost certain to be the extraordinary person in the middle sequence!
"Don't worry, maybe Mrs. Sharon has run away. Crane smiled.
Frankly, he was no less nervous than Kornley.
Dunn's gray eyes rolled, and he glanced at him helplessly and said:
"We're trying not to let Mrs. Sharon run away. ”
............
After more than twenty minutes, the three night watchmen arrived at Orsner Street, and saw the garden in the darkness and Mrs. Sharon's house, which were lying there silently, as if nothing had happened.
Klein took off the pendulum in the cuff of his left wrist and quickly began divination:
"There's danger inside. ”
"There's danger inside. ”
......
After meditating seven times, he opened his eyes and saw that the citrine pendant was turning clockwise, with a medium amplitude and speed.
This indicates that there is danger inside, not high, but not low either!
