Part 1 The Joker Chapter 196 – The Psychic’s Mirror
Klein kept exiting the thick safe, and only calmed down after noticing that there was nothing wrong.
”That white bone statue is very sinister ah …… Although it’s not dangerous, it also makes people inexplicably panicked …… Could it be, could it be the so-called ‘Original Witch’? An evil deity alongside the ‘Hidden Sage’, the ‘Dark Side of the Universe’, and the ‘True Creator’?” Thinking of his earlier guess about Lady Sheron, Klein instantly realized which existence the white bone statue might represent.
Just as he was thinking about it, his spirituality suddenly had a touch and a bad premonition surged up.
Klein was busy flying next to the intricately patterned window and looked at the road outside the house, only to see a carriage driving fast and steadily towards the main entrance under the glow of the gas street lamp.
Mrs. Sherron had returned? With a flutter in his mind, he figured out the source of the premonition of crisis.
Considering that Tris became a woman after the Sequence 8 “Instigator” and probably belongs to Sequence 7, and that Mrs. Sherron has been active in the upper social circle of Tingen City for some years, and is probably stronger than Tris, Klein didn’t dare to rely on the “Yangyan charm” and the “Aztec copper whistle”. Klein didn’t dare to take any chances with the “Yang Yan Charm” and “Aztec Copper Whistle”, and sensibly decided to retreat.
This is because the former has a quantity limit, use one less than one, and cheat again “mutated sun holy emblem” this seal does not know when to wait, not a critical moment, not there is no other way, Klein does not want to waste, and also will face the problem of how to explain afterward.
He could not say to Dunn, “A kind and powerful person just passed by and helped me, right?
As for why he didn’t use the “Aztec Copper Whistle”, it was because Kline wasn’t sure if the “messenger” he summoned had any fighting ability, in case he was only powerful in appearance, but only knew how to deliver letters.
”With those things we just found, it’s enough for the Nightwatchman Squad to go out, so why should I fight with Mrs. Sheridan alone? It’s obvious that we can beat her up in a group!” Klein emphasized in his mind, ending the summoning and whooshing back above the gray mist before wrapping himself in spirituality and crashing back into his real-world body.
He quickly extinguished and put away the candle, disarmed the wall of spirituality, and dashed out of Mrs. Sherron’s bedroom, returning the way he had come, but there was no time to restore the latch on the balcony door.
Sliding down the hose and tumbling out of the garden over the fence in the opposite direction from the main entrance, Klein lurked until the next block before taking an expensive nightly hire carriage to Zoltan Street.
……
Mrs. Sherron, in a black dress but with increasing beauty, walked slowly back to the second floor, dismissed the maid, and unscrewed the door of her bedroom.
Her innocent watery eyes suddenly condensed, reflecting a nearly transparent, invisible filaments, they do not have a spiritual luster, like a diseased human hair, if not in advance of the knowledge of the existence of these things, or have a very special eyes, no one can find them.
At this moment, all of those thin threads broke off and fell to the ground.
Mrs. Sheridan narrowed her eyes and turned her gaze to the heavy iron gray safe.
……
36 Zotland Street, Blackthorn Security.
Dunn, who was crossing his legs and leisurely reading a newspaper, looked with a slightly odd expression at Klein, who had appeared in the doorway of his office, and sighed silently:
”Aren’t you going to try to sneak into Mrs. Sherron’s home tonight and conduct a preliminary search?”
”…… found a problem?”
Klein nodded solemnly:
”Yes.”
”I suspect that Mrs. Sherron is a member of the Witch Cult.”
”A member of the Witch Cult?” Dunn put down the paper, chewing on the phrase, and asked gravely in return, “What did you find out?”
Without sitting down, Klein leaned forward and braced his hands on the edge of the desk:
”First I saw a picture of a young man, but it resembled Mrs. Sherron.”
If he changed into women’s clothes and put on makeup, beauty and PS, it would be slightly equal to what Mrs. Sherron looks like now …… Klein couldn’t help but mentally spit out a comment.
”Similar to ‘Instigator’ Tris?” Dunn’s gray eyes flickered, and it dawned on him for a moment.
They had judged before that Tris was likely a member of the Witch Cult.
”Yes.” Klein nodded his head with a more complicated feeling and turned to say, “I then resorted to divination techniques and discovered in my dream that there was a white bone statue in the compartment of Mrs. Sherron’s safe, it was beautifully female, but the hair grew all the way down to the ankles, the roots were thick like vipers, and there were eyes at the top, it was quite bizarre, Captain, is this the ‘Original Witch’ image, huh?”
Because the level of secrecy was not enough, he could see very little information about the Witch Sect.
Dunn thought back for a moment and nodded with a grave expression:
”This is the image of the ‘Original Witch’.”
”We must act immediately to control Mrs. Sherron.”
Klein immediately concurred, “Well, if Mrs. Sherron is a Middle Sequence Extraordinaire of the Witch Cult, then I don’t think she won’t be able to notice that someone has sneaked into her bedroom.”
At that moment, a sudden doubt flooded him and he asked offhandedly:
”Captain, why is it that the seven orthodox deities don’t have concrete images and only use symbols instead, whereas the evil deities I’ve come into contact with so far all have human-like appearances, the ‘True Creator’ is like this, and the ‘Primordial Demoness ‘ is also like this, is this one of the differences between a righteous god and an evil god?”
Why is there such a difference? Klein silently added a question, but wisely didn’t say it out loud.
”That is the difference between a positive god and an evil god.” Dunn replied in the affirmative, then got up and walked towards the cloak rack saying, “We can’t delay any longer, I’m worried about Mrs. Sherron absconding.”
Here Dunn paused for a moment:
”You go and get Cornley, the three of us will move, this will allow us to apply for a seal, Mrs. Sherron is likely to be more than Sequence 7.”
Captain, you are wise! Klein replied without hesitation:
”Okay.”
Then, he asked with slight curiosity:
”Captain, which sealing item are you going to use?”
Dunn recalled and deliberated for a dozen seconds and said:
”3-0217.”
Since there weren’t many seals behind that Charnis door in Tingen City, Klein quickly remembered what the captain wanted to apply:
”Number: 0217.”
”Name: psychic’s mirror.”
”Danger level: ‘3’, somewhat dangerous, need to be used with care, only operations with three or more people can apply.”
”Confidentiality level: full members of the Night Watch and above.”
”Sealing method: placed in lightless darkness.”
”DESCRIPTION: This mirror is plated with mercury on the back and has three modest cracks on the front.”
”When the investigator who initially approached it looked into this mirror, he saw a long-haired, weeping woman inside, and then he realized that the woman had crawled out of the mirror.”
”According to numerous experiments, the mirror reflects a different image most of the time, and even when the same person looks at it repeatedly, they encounter different things, with varying levels of danger, but all of them prioritizing against the person who looks in the mirror.”
”One of the most dangerous situations is that of seeing oneself.”
”If no one looks in this mirror, it automatically surfaces an image every three hours, provided there is light.”
”It does not possess the property of being alive.”
”APPENDIX: This mirror originally belonged to a psychic and was a very ordinary mirror until one day the psychic looked into it and bizarrely committed suicide.”
Indeed, there are not many seals that can be used for battles between extraordinary people behind the Charnis Gate in Tingen City, and “3-0217” is a good choice …… Crane didn’t say any more, and immediately ran to the night watchman’s recreation room and shouted out “Sleepless One” Kornleigh.
–Tonight, Loyal’s shift at the Charnis Gate, Leonard’s rest, Siga Teang’s tour of Raphael’s Cemetery and other places, the new members will have to arrive on Sunday, so Dunn can only choose one from Frye and Coenley, considering that Mrs. Sherron belongs to the Witch Cult, and has little to do with the Necromancers, he chose the latter.
After a few minutes, Dunn returned from the ground, holding a mirror that was tightly wrapped in a thick black cloth.
Frankly, not knowing it in advance, I couldn t even recognize it as a mirror; no part of it was exposed …… Klein and the diminutive Cornley greeted it.
”You’ll be in charge of using the seal ‘3-0217’.” Dunn handed the mirror to Coenley.
Seeing this scene, Klein suddenly woke up to the fact that he was a Sequence 8 Extraordinary and possessed the strength to fight head-on, so he could no longer hide on the sidelines and be a mere aid.
Hiss, a little nervous ah …… He touched the “sleep spell” and other items in his coat pocket to make sure he was fully prepared.
”The only problem is, in order to facilitate the climbing, I did not bring a walking stick, well, can borrow Coenley’s, he has a hand mirror and a pistol, enough.” While Klein’s thoughts were racing, the three of them made their way downstairs and took a rented carriage to catch a ride to Olsner Street.
On the way, Coenly glanced at the seal “3-0217” in his palm and lamented with a slight tightness:
”This is the first time I’ve participated in such a dangerous operation.”
Under normal circumstances, the Night Watchman would not use the seal to deal with extraordinary events.
–When they went to Morse Town to solve the paranormal incident before, they applied for the “Mutated Sun Holy Emblem” as a precaution against small probability accidents because the distance was too far away and it would definitely be too late to rescue them, but this time, the target was almost certainly a mid-sequence Extraordinary Person!
”Don’t worry, maybe Mrs. Sherron has already run away.” Klein chuckled.
Frankly, he was no less nervous than Cornley.
Dunn’s gray eyes flicked to him and he gave him a helpless look and said:
”Let’s try not to let Mrs. Sherron get away.”
……
Twenty minutes or so later, the three night watchmen reached Olsner Street and saw the garden in the darkness and Mrs. Sherron’s house, which lay prostrate in silence, as if nothing had happened.
Crane removed the spirit pendulum within the cuff of his left wrist and made a quick divination:
”There is danger within.”
”There is danger inside.”
……
Silently chanting seven times, he opened his eyes and saw the citrine pendant spinning clockwise, medium in amplitude and speed.
This indicated that there was danger inside, not high, but not low either!
