Chapter 40: Night Thoughts
Is...... In the face of Miss Bodyguard's answer, Klein cocked the corners of his mouth and showed a clear smile.
Well, she can briefly contend with Rosago, the "secret puppet master", and even form a tug of war to a certain extent, she is most likely also a strong person in sequence 5, I don't know which sequence it is, what is the name of the potion, and the state is quite peculiar...... Without her, I wouldn't even have had a chance to use foul language...... Klein casually picked up the newspaper next to him and pretended to read it, but actually thought.
However, he quickly shifted his focus back to whether there were still loopholes in his own right, such as the fact that the tainted extraordinary properties left by Rosago had a strong spiritual brilliance, which could not be concealed by the iron cigarette case alone, and would be directly exposed under the prying eyes of others.
Klein quietly turned on his vision, looked down at his coat pocket, and saw a faint color in the iron cigarette case, but it was not obvious, it was quite thin.
This was mixed with his own aura and color, and it was difficult to distinguish and imperceptible.
"Yes, at least you have to be a high-level powerhouse to be able to see through the double interference...... It is no wonder that various materials such as herbal powders and corresponding essential oil hydrosols must be made of metal bottles, not wooden containers, because some of them contain spirituality, and if you have a higher level of spiritual vision, you can see through the wooden board and see the color of the aura......" Klein suddenly understood some precautions in the occult field.
He used to do things by the rules without thinking about why, but now he understands the real meaning behind the rules.
After making sure it was correct, Klein put down the newspaper and walked to the second floor.
He originally planned to strip and take a bath to relax completely, but when he thought that there was a bodyguard lady at home who didn't know where he would appear, he felt a little uncomfortable, so he simply washed his face and brushed his teeth and soaked his feet in hot water.
Back in the bedroom, taking off his coat and hiding his belongings, Crane collapsed on the bed, exhausted and strained for a long time, his spirit was quite tense and he couldn't fall asleep quickly.
Opening his eyes to the crimson moonlight on the ceiling, Crane did not try to meditatively sleep deeply, but spread his thoughts aimlessly, like riding a horse without pulling the reins.
Thinking about it, because he had encountered too many coincidences in Tingen, and later understood that it had a deep relationship with the seal "0-08", he quickly noticed a problem:
"Wouldn't it be too coincidental that my second case after arriving in Beckland allowed me to obtain the potions recipe for the next three sequences?"
"Although this is in line with the revelation I received from my divination, "the hope of becoming stronger is in Beckland", but it is too fast and too simple, right?"
"Simple does not refer to the difficulty, but refers to the degree of twists and turns of the matter, which is difficult and dangerous, but not complicated, and seems simple. ”
"According to my expectations, it should be through the collection of information about the Esoteric Order by Miss 'Justice', Mr. 'Hanged Man', Miss Hugh and her companions, and they have caught the tail of this ancient organization little by little, and after many twists and turns, they finally obtained the formula, which lasted at least three months, and who knows, it was successful in less than three weeks......"
"Wouldn't it be arranged by someone again?"
"Hmm...... From the beginning, it is no accident that the Tantric Order has a certain relationship with the Republic of Intis, as confirmed by the diary of Russell the Great. ”
"The abilities of 'soothsayers' and 'facelings' are well suited to intelligence organizations, and it is reasonable and normal for a person in a similar path to become an assistant to Beckron, the intelligence chief, and there is no coincidence. ”
"The ambassador sent someone to retaliate against me, he should have the idea of diverting attention, so it is not surprising that letting Rosago, who is the easiest to get and the easiest to escape, come over, is an effective choice to reduce the risk. ”
"It was quite normal for Ian to find a new detective from the newspaper after none of the detectives he knew accepted the task of tracking Zeriel, there weren't many new detectives advertised at the time, maybe even just me, well, I was the only one in the Beckland Post......"
"As summarized before, the problem is that Meursault is too reckless, because I am worried that it is not easy to disguise in daily life, but it is easy to attract attention, and I do not hide my appearance, although these two points may be affected, especially the former, but it is in line with the corresponding character, mentality and origin. ”
"Moreover, this is not the point, which does not explain the second case I came across involved the problem of the sequencer in the 'soothsayer' pathway. ”
"Fate? ”
"Thinking about it further, after I crossed over, the first and second cases I was involved in were also related to the 'soothsayer' pathway, of course, this can be explained by the '0-08' arrangement. ”
"By the way, the Antigonus family's notes also tainted the 'Doom Puppet' and showed me the intricate vertical eye symbol involving the treasures of the Antigonus family, and I thought of the reason that after the extinction of the Antigonus family's bloodline, it regarded me, who was a 'soothsayer' and had come into contact with it, as the object of inheritance. ”
"Now that I think about it, this is a very childish reason, what if I am a devout believer in the goddess of the night? ”
"The treasures of the House of Antigonus clearly involve the 'soothsayer' path. ”
"Think a little deeper, why did I cross over, why I happened to be attached to Crane and not someone else...... At that time, Klein happened to be performing black divination, and was controlled by the notes of the Antigonus family to commit suicide, and that note was clearly related to the 'soothsayer' path. ”
"Also, the first Russell diary I saw had a paragraph about regretting not choosing an apprentice, a thief, or a soothsayer, which is a coincidence. ”
"From beginning to end, except for the part involving 0-08, those things seem very messy, not like a conscious arrangement, closer to one, a passive attraction, mutual attraction, and intermittent attraction. ”
"I'm attracted to things and things related to the 'soothsayer' path, and at the same time attracted to them?"
"It's weird to think about, this attraction can even indirectly affect fate, so that Mr. Azk can't see it?"
"Do you have any strange traits in me?"
"This trait allows me to come back from the dead in a limited way?"
Thinking of this, Klein suddenly had the urge to go to the gray mist for divination and confirmation.
But he quickly dismissed the idea, not only because Miss Bodyguard might be watching in the mirror, but also because he thought that his greatest characteristic was to have the mysterious space above the gray mist!
Therefore, it is obviously impossible to have an answer to use it for divination itself.
At least for now, there are no obvious traces of manipulation, and if you just attract it, you can still accept it...... And I've already chosen the extraordinary path, and I can't change it before Sequence 4, so let's take it one step at a time...... Well, first of all, firmly do not go to the Hornachis Mountains to find the treasures of the Antigonus family...... Hehe, I have a hunch that I will say it is really fragrant in the future...... Crane laughed at himself silently, and the tiredness that he felt relieved gradually came over, making his eyelids close uncontrollably.
His last thought before falling asleep was:
Participate in all kinds of extraordinary gatherings, as well as collect extraordinary materials corresponding to the "magician" through Miss "Justice", Mr. "Hanged Man" and "Sun" classmates, and those who have "Facelings" will not refuse, in addition, try to get a magical item that is not serious in negative effects, and before the digestion is completed and the strength is improved, more self-preservation power...... In addition, investing, taking commissions, saving money, and finding Lanrius, using him as the starting point for revenge, can also be regarded as practice......
That's what Klein was going to do after that.
At seven o'clock in the morning, he naturally woke up, and it was still gloomy and foggy outside.
Klein got up and walked to the door, and when he passed by the full-length mirror, he saw Miss Bodyguard suddenly appear.
She wore the same black soft hat, her face was as pale as ever, and her voice pierced through the glass, and the illusion crept into Klein's ears:
"Last night, the guys from MI9 came. ”
Forehead...... Should I say that the "police" were really late, or thank them for being late...... Klein smiled and asked:
"They didn't find anything, did they?"
As for the answer, he was very sure that if MI9 really found anything, how could he sleep until he woke up naturally.
"Nope. The bodyguard's figure faded and disappeared into the mirror.
She's very capable of this...... You can't find it with your vision...... Perhaps, it can be seen with the extraordinary properties of Rosago's legacy?Discover those hidden silk threads, and thus find Miss Bodyguard?Crane's heart moved, and he returned to the bedside and pulled out the iron cigarette case from under the pillow.
He had just started it, and before he could open it, a biting chill suddenly hit the back of his neck, and the whole person instantly stood up and trembled.
Syllable!
As soon as he let go of his hand, the iron cigarette case fell to the ground.
This is a warning from Miss Bodyguard...... Crane chuckled dryly and slipped the iron cigarette case into his trouser pocket as he pretended nothing had happened.
After washing up and getting dressed, he went to the first floor and took out the newspapers he had subscribed to from the newspaper box outside the door.
Unfolding the Tasok newspaper, Klein saw the eye-catching headline:
"Ambassador Intis Beckron was killed, and the terrorist organization 'Aurora Society' claimed responsibility!"
The results came out so quickly, and the "Aurora Society" was obviously only accepting commissions, so why did it announce that it was responsible? Hmm...... Terrorist organizations also need to be forced to establish an image, so that they can attract enough fresh blood, which complements secret missions...... Mr. A is very powerful, he should be a "shepherd...... Klein stood in the foyer, reading the news in detail.
According to the description of the news, there was evidence that the "Aurora Society" attacked Ambassador Beckron at the scene, and in the follow-up investigation, the letters deliberately left by the "Aurora Society" were also found, claiming to be responsible.
At the end of the news, the reporter gave a general introduction to the "Aurora Society" and listed some illegal incidents they had done, which made them instantly more famous than most secret organizations.
Either way, it's over...... Klein exhaled and looked sideways out the window to see a thin mist and sparse raindrops.
"Isn't it time for the sun to shine and the weather to be clear?" said Klein, laughing to himself.
And then, he had to go out and catch the traitor.
