Chapter 39: Interesting Tricks

In fact, I don't know if the notebook was ruined or hidden...... But you can reason backwards, if you want to destroy it, you can do it on the spot, and there is no need for me to take it away and do it again...... Hearing Leonard's question, Klein instantly turned on the "Keyboard Detective" mode and said in a deep voice:

"Maybe the unknown existence that Welch and Naya touched on both enjoyed the 'sacrifice' of life and wanted to continue to have similar things, so in the case that the 'suicide' would definitely be discovered, let me take the notes, hide them, and prepare for the second 'enjoyment', but I didn't know what went wrong in the process, and I didn't succeed in the end. ”

This is a reasonable guess Klein has made based on the materials, novels, movies, and TV series he has seen in his previous life that involve evil sacrifices.

As for what went wrong in the process, he knew very well that he had more "variables" as a traverser.

"Good explanation, but I think there may be another possibility, Welch and Naya's suicide sacrifice, so that the unknown existence has the possibility of coming, that notebook carries or breeds evil, let you take it, hide it, because you are afraid that before it is 'born', before it is 'powerful', it will be discovered by us and destroyed directly. Leonard Mitchell illustrates another possibility.

Speaking of this, he stared into Crane's eyes and smiled slightly:

"Of course, the note may have been destroyed in order to cover up what it was on, to cover up the object that really carries or breeds evil, so that your suicide attempt is justified enough. ”

What does that mean? This is doubting me? Suspecting that the original owner's body carries or breeds evil? No, he carries or conceives the traverser...... the word "conceived" is okay...... Klein was stunned, and while secretly complaining, he said thoughtfully:

"I don't defend myself, after all, I really forgot that memory, but both the captain and Ms. Daly confirm that I have no other problems, and your jokes are not funny. ”

"I'm just exploring the possibility that the unknown being was struck when he came, so that you failed to commit suicide, and we have to believe that the goddess has always protected us. Leonard smiled and changed the subject, "What did you find in the afternoon?"

After the conversation just now and the previous events, Klein was very wary of Leonard, but on the surface he replied quietly:

"No, I'll have to take a different route tomorrow afternoon. ”

He pointed to the partition and said:

"I've got to go to the arsenal to get my bullets. ”

The "shooting club" is open until 9 p.m., after all, many of its members have to leave work to be free.

"May the Goddess bless you. Leonard smiled and drew a circle on his chest that symbolized the Crimson Moon.

Watching Crane pass through the partition and listen to his footsteps as he walked down the stairs, the smile on Leonard's face faded away, and his turquoise eyes were full of doubt.

He whispered something in a slightly dissatisfied tone.

............

Descending the stairs, Crane turned down the gaslit hallway to the weapons, materials, and documentation.

The iron door was open, and the brown-haired girl, Roshan, was standing at a long table, exchanging something with a middle-aged man with a thick black beard and a top hat.

"Afternoon, no, good evening, it's always like midnight, Crane, and you've become extraordinary, and what do you call a 'soothsayer?'" Roseanne asked, turning her head to the side, speaking briskly.

She didn't hide her curiosity and concern.

Klein smiled and nodded:

"Good afternoon, Miss Rosan, it's always dark but it's peaceful. Your description is not accurate enough, it should be said that the name of the sequence potion I took is 'Fortune Telner'. ”

"You still chose to be extraordinary...... Roshan said, sighing, falling silent for a moment.

Klein looked at the middle-aged man next to him and asked politely:

"Who is this?"

The other members of the Night Watch team, or one of the other two civilians I haven't met?

Luo Shan pursed her lips and said:

"Bright, our colleague, he wants to switch shifts with me to make the night after tomorrow vacant, and he and his wife are going to the North End Theatre to see 'The Arrogant' to celebrate their fifteenth wedding anniversary, what a romantic gentleman. ”

Bright smiled and stretched out his hand:

"With Miss Roshan here, nothing needs to be repeated, hello Klein, I didn't expect you to become extraordinary so quickly, and I, oh, may never have the courage. ”

"Probably the ignorant are fearless. Klein laughed at himself and reached out to shake the other's hand.

"That's not a bad thing. Bright shook his head and laughed, "A remarkable being once told me before he died that I should never explore those strange and dangerous things, and that the less I know, the longer I live. ”

At this time, Roseanne interjected:

"Crane, you don't have to worry too much, I heard old Neil say that your 'soothsayer' is an auxiliary and relatively safe, as long as you don't try to communicate with unknown existences, how can you wear such clothes?

"Pick up today's thirty rounds. Klein didn't answer Rosan's previous question.

He was sure the girl would soon forget about it.

"Okay. Roseanne pointed to the table and said, "Bright, it's all over to you, you should know where the keys and bullets are, hey, old Neil is really stingy, he didn't leave the hand-ground coffee, he promised to let me drink it to my satisfaction today......"

As she chattered, Klein received the bullets.

The two left the underground together and went to separate places on Zotland Street, one taking a horse-drawn carriage home and the other entering a "shooting club".

Bang! Bang!

Hold the gun, raise the arm, shoot, throw out the runner, unload the cartridge case, stuff the bullet...... Klein repeated the process over and over again, familiarizing and remembering what it felt like to shoot.

Of course, he had several breaks in between, in order to summarize and make corrections.

After the practice, Klein used the field to do many exercises similar to push-ups, trying to exercise his body and improve his physique.

When it was all over and he returned home in a trackless carriage, he found that it was nearly seven o'clock and it was already dark.

Just as Klein was about to go to the market or the street to buy ingredients for dinner, he found the door open and Melissa returned with a bag of stationery and books.

In addition to that, she also carries a lot of dishes.

“...... I think you and Benson will come back late today, and when you go out in the morning, we took 1 sule from where you hid your money. Seeing her brother's puzzled gaze, Melissa habitually explained seriously.

"You've taken all the money, why don't you take the bus to school?" Klein, who was reminded, remembered what had happened in the morning.

Melissa frowned slightly and said:

"Why take the public carriage? 4 pence to school, 8 pence round trip, counting you and Benson, we're going to spend 24 pence a day on the public carriage, a full 2 sul, a week, well, not counting Sundays, that's 12 sholers, which is a little equal to our rent!"

Stop, stop, and don't show off your math skills...... Klein laughedly pressed his hand.

Melissa paused, then added:

"It's fine for me to walk to school, the teacher says everyone has to exercise regularly, and I can pick up some broken parts along the way. ”

Klein chuckled and said:

"Then let's do the math, the cost of the public carriage is 12 soles, and the rent is 12 soles and 3pence, which is only 1 pound 4 soles and 3 pence, which can be paid with Benson's salary, and there is quite a bit left, well, he has received last week's salary...... And I still receive 1 pound 10 sules a week, and even if I eat meat a day, even if I count the cost of gas, coal, timber, spices, etc., I still have a surplus at lunch, and I can even order a morning newspaper for only 1 pence a day. ”

"After two months, when I have made up my salary advance, I can save money for Benson and buy you new clothes. ”

"But, but, we have to think about the unexpected. Melissa held her mind.

Klein looked at her with a smile and said:

"Then we can eat less meat, don't you think it's a waste of time to spend fifty, no, a hundred minutes on the road every day? ”

"In this way, Melissa you can graduate with excellent grades and find a job with a good salary, when the time comes, what are you worried about?"

“......”

Using his previous experience of debating with people in forums, he finally convinced Melissa to agree to take a bus to school.

Whew, finally flickered, no, how can it be called flickering, this is called convincing people with reason...... Klein sneered, took the food Melissa bought, and sighed:

"Remember to buy beef, mutton, or chicken tomorrow...... Eat well and eat well in order to have a healthy body and a smart brain to cope with difficult learning. ”

Just talking about it, I want to drool a little......

Melissa pursed her lips and said silently for a few seconds:

"Okay. ”

............

Early the next morning, the overseer Melissa got into the public carriage, and Klein and Benson separated at the street corner and arrived at the company.

As soon as Klein stepped through the door, he saw old Neil and Rosanne chatting at the reception desk, the former still wearing a classic black robe, not caring for the eyes of others, and the latter changing into a light yellow dress.

"Good morning, Mr. Neil, Miss Rosan. Crane took off his hat and saluted.

Old Neil gave him a narrow look:

"Good morning, didn't you hear anything you shouldn't have heard last night?"

"No, I slept well. Klein was also quite strange about this.

He can only attribute it to the fact that he is not highly inspired enough......

"Haha, don't worry, it's not that easy to hear. Old Neil pointed to the partition and said, "Go to the arsenal and continue our 'occult lesson' this morning." ”

Crane nodded, followed Neil Sr. down the stairs, into the underground, to the arsenal, and replaced Bright who was on duty last night.

"What do I need to learn today?" Klein asked curiously.

Old Neil let out a long hum and said:

"Complex, basic, but before that, I'll teach you an interesting trick. ”

He gestured to the silver chain around his wrist, the tip of which hung a pure white crystal.
