Crane unfolded the letter expectantly and apprehensively, reading Azik's reply:

“...... The scene you described made me think of some possibilities, thinking of vampires and xenos. ”

"Natural vampires were close to extinction before dragons and giants retired from the stage of history, and they were only occasionally found later, and the vampires of folklore that we usually talk about are closer to the extraordinary, and I remember that there was a sequence of potions called 'vampires' in one way. ”

"If your boss is already in a state of semi-madness, then he is likely to have taken this potion by mistake, the potion of two different paths is mixed, and semi-madness is the inevitable result, well, I vaguely remember that the 'Night' path, which is what you call the 'Sleepless' path, can be interchangeable with the 'Grim Reaper' path and the 'Giant' path in the high order, but this does not include the path where the 'Vampire' is. ”

"Of course, it is not excluded that your boss may consciously accept it, after all, the 'vampire' can have a long life, an excellent physique, and an excellent appearance, compared to these benefits, the state of semi-madness is not unacceptable. ”

Klein was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Mr. Azik to provide such useful information.

The "Grim Reaper" path refers to the "Corpse Collector" path, which can be interchangeable with the "Sleepless" path in the high sequence, which is a secret I learned from Russell's diary before, but I didn't expect that they can also be interchangeable with the "Giant" path in Sequence 4 and later...... "Giant" path is the one mastered by Silver City, which is now the "God of War" path...... I've always suspected that Ormir, the Giant King, is an ancient god of war......

Well, Russell the Great's diary describes the Church of the Night Goddess and the Church of the God of War...... Is it because the sequences are interchangeable at a high level?

Based on this speculation, the hostility of the three oldest churches, the Church of the Lord of the Storm, the Church of the Eternal Sun, and the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, can be explained to some extent, because the "Sailor", "Singer", and "Reader" paths they possess are interchangeable in a high order!

Well, in the "Pale Age" at the end of the last era, the main driving force behind the fall of the Grim Reaper was probably the Goddess of the Night and the God of War......

The captain's usual state is very normal, except for his bad memory, there is no half-crazy performance, and the possibility of taking the 'vampire' potion can be ruled out!

Mr. Azik has been recalling a lot of things lately...... Could it be that the "wriggling hunger" really irritated him?

Klein nodded lightly and continued reading:

"'Xenomorph' is not the name of a race, but a description of many similar creatures, they are no different from humans when they are normal, but there are always instinctive, distorted, and suppressed desires hidden in their hearts, as long as they encounter the stimulation of a specific scene or a specific thing, they will explode, they will become monsters, and they will wantonly satisfy their desires for bloodlust and killing. ”

"When everything subsides, they will return to normal, and with each outburst, they will be a little more ruthless, and eventually their minds will be completely distorted. ”

"The most common example of this, and the only one I can recall, is that of werewolves, who are usually equivalent to humans and cannot be recognized with most extraordinary abilities, but during the full moon, the distorted desires in the heart will intensify, and the body will also undergo certain changes. ”

"Your boss may be a hidden 'alien' whose nature is sparked by the death of his teammates. ”

"These are all my personal speculations, and because the memory is incomplete, I can't assure you that there are no other possibilities, and perhaps the precursors of your guess getting out of control can be explained. ”

"And whether it is taking the 'vampire' potion or belonging to the 'xenomorph', it cannot be saved, of course, some people have speculated that the 'xenomorph' was originally a normal human, but it was polluted by strange curses or evil gods and demons, so it will become a different monster under certain circumstances. ”

"In addition, I don't know if the loss of control with only the precursor can be treated, I suggest you report directly to your boss's boss, hoping that everything is still in time. ”

Putting down the letter, Klein looked at the desk with a solemn expression and thought for a long time.

He had to admit that the possibility of "xenomorphism" existed, but the precursor of loss of control could not be ruled out.

"I can only wait for Ms. Dali's feedback...... She should have received the letter I sent the night before yesterday morning, and if I had replied in time, I would have seen it last night or this morning...... It's almost noon...... The little messenger didn't dare approach Chanis Gate?or was there something else Miss Daly was delaying?" Crane shook his head, feeling that he was still tired, and forced himself to fall asleep again by meditating.

In the misty world, he suddenly woke up and knew that he was dreaming.

Then, he saw Dunn Smith appear in front of him wearing a thin black trench coat.

Following his normal dreaming response, Crane slowly called out:

"Good morning...... Captain ......"

Dunn bowed his head lightly and said:

"In the course of his investigation of the case of Lanreus, Leonard has found a clue that he needs your help. ”

"The Templar sent by the Templar will not arrive until tomorrow morning because the steam train has failed. ”

"Okay......" Crane replied in a vague tone.

Dunn thought for a moment and added:

"You don't have to go back to Zotland Street, you go straight to 62 Howles Block, where Leonard will be waiting for you. ”

"Thank you. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Crane's dream shattered inch by inch, and his eyes opened subconsciously.

Howles Neighborhood ...... Isn't this the neighborhood where the Divination Club, my classmate Welch, and the previous Aurora Club member is? There's been so much going on lately, one after another, like something is brewing...... Crane got up slowly and thoughtfully, went to the bathroom to clean himself up, then changed into the white shirt, brown waistcoat and thin black trench coat that he had gone out, took his half-height silk top hat, and went downstairs to the living room.

It was not yet 11 o'clock, and Benson and Melissa had not yet returned, and Crane explained to the maid Bella, that he did not have to think about his lunch.

He then arrived in the Howles neighborhood in a horse-drawn tram, where he saw Leonard Mitchell, the "Midnight Poet" with messy hair, in front of the door number of House 62.

In September, when the weather was getting colder, Leonard was still wearing only a thin white shirt and a pair of beige trousers, and his green eyes swept and said:

"This is most likely the house rented by Lanerus under a pseudonym. ”

"How did you find that?" asked Klein, slightly curious.

Leonard pointed to his head:

"Since you have received clues from Hood Eugen and suspect that Lanerus is likely to have something to do with that member of the Aurora Society, well, the cloth merchant Siris Arepis, I can only change my mind and look for it from the line of the Aurora Society. ”

"Previous reports showed that many residents of the Chilles and Hallses neighborhoods were in contact with each other, and I checked them one by one and found that there were some problems. ”

"What's the problem?" Klein said with a slight nod.

Leonard raised his eyebrows: "It's obvious that the tenants here rarely show up, after the death of Henas Vincent, he announced that he was going to the Southern Continent to do business, and never came back, his information is very true, and the police didn't find anything." ”

"It's just a coincidence. Klein frowned.

"Of course, it's just a coincidence, but when I asked the residents around me about the picture of Laneus, there was an old gentleman who felt that it was very similar to the tenant of number 62, except for the glasses. Leonard pulled out a black-and-white photo from his trouser pocket.

Why didn't you say it earlier...... Crane sneered, followed Leonard into 62 Halls, and began to divinate whether there was a secret compartment or a secret room as he requested.

And as it turned out, there was!

"The secret compartment or secret room of this house. ”

Klein wrote down a new divination phrase and sat down on the couch, closing his eyes as he meditated.

Seven times later, he entered the dream realm, and his eyes were hazy.

In the gray world, Crane saw the oak shelves, saw the rows of books, saw one of the books being removed, and saw the surface of the wood next to it open and a dark compartment appeared.

The picture quickly faded away, and Klein opened his eyes and said to Leonard:

"In the study. ”

He wrapped the citrine pendant and followed Leonard into the study, where he saw the oak bookshelf he had dreamed of.

"Pull out the book, and there's a dark compartment where it's hidden. Klein pointed to the book at the very end.

"Here...... I had searched the whole house and found nothing, so I had to go back to Zotland Street and ask for help. Leonard grunted as he walked over and pulled out the book Klein was referring to.

He fumbled for a while, and finally found the mechanism, and opened the dark grid with a snap.

A letter was sitting quietly in the dark compartment.

Raneus hid a letter here, and Klein was very surprised.

After dividing whether there was anything dangerous hidden in the letter, and after receiving a negative answer, Leonard reached out and grabbed the letter, opening the envelope without the address and the recipient.

Pulling out the letter, Leonard shook it and unfolded it.

Klein leaned over and looked intently, only to see that the first few paragraphs of the letter read:

"Hahaha, congratulations, congratulations on finally finding this letter!"

"This shows that you are not too stupid, not too dull to be in this game of life and death that I have designed. ”

"The child laborers who continue to die, the factory workers who rarely survive for ten years due to the environment and hardship, the female workers who take the risk of serious illness and only get a meager salary, I see that every factory is shrouded in countless resentments, which makes the surroundings depressed and dark, this is the worst of times, and the best of times, and our game will start in this context. ”

"Fools, get ready, I'm going to give you a hint!"

PS: The second more to ask for a monthly pass! Also, push a friend's book, "Nine Divine Heads", the number of words is a lot, and he promised to invite me to dinner.
