Part 2 The Faceless Man Chapter 107 – Action
An abnormal reaction? It seems to be the “Blasphemy Card”! Receiving the response, Klein, who had entered the gray fog, was first delighted, and then inexplicably marveled:
”Ms. Justice’s efficiency is too high, isn’t it?”
”I only commissioned the task in the afternoon, and she verified it this evening ……”
”Moreover, it’s already clearly past the closing time of the Kingdom Museum!”
”‘Mind Reader’ also surely doesn’t have infiltration-type extraordinary abilities!”
”Hiss, I’m afraid her family’s power is even greater than I thought ……”
”Luckily the verification didn’t come up with any strange phenomena, or else I could only let Ms. ‘Justice’ pretend to be innocent and turn in her cards, and that means that I have no chance with the treasures …… Nothing is 100% sure! ……”
As his thoughts flickered, Klein heard Ms. “Justice’s” follow-up question:
”Mr. ‘Fool’, what secret is hidden in that bookmark?”
”Well, if your favorites aren’t willing to give an answer, just pretend I didn’t ask.”
Of course it was hiding a “blasphemous card secret”! Kraven exclaimed in a joyful and silent voice.
After careful consideration, he decided to wait for the “Blasphemy Card” to arrive before responding to Ms. “Justice”, lest she be too shocked and show abnormalities that would affect her actions.
Klein did not rush back to the real world, just sat in the silent and empty ancient palace, thinking about when to act and how to act.
”Justice” Miss caused a little damage to the bookmark, I do not know whether the follow-up will be discovered …… or, the bookmark will slowly show unusual places, attracting attention … … …Therefore, there can be no delay, no waiting, it’s best to do it tonight! After various thoughts tumbled and boiled for a while, Klein gradually came to a decision.
Immediately afterward, based on the results of his observations in the morning, he materialized the layout of the first floor of the Kingdom Museum and the general surroundings.
Looking at this drawing, Klein deduced different courses of action and quickly established a relatively sound plan.
Finally, he did divination again to confirm the level of danger.
After seeing that nothing had changed, he returned to the real world and started making various preparations.
Klein’s original idea was to respond to his own way, “drawing” the pattern in his memory, forging a similar bookmark, and then, after infiltrating, replacing it to ensure that no one would be aware of this matter for a long time, no one knew, and when the incident happened, there would be absolutely no way to trace back to him.
However, after he repeatedly thought, he felt that this is not good, as long as the forged bookmark was found, then the most suspicious person is the “justice” lady who touched the original bookmark today.
I can’t put Ms. Justice at a high risk for the sake of the treasure, but she did it for the sake of helping me! Klein finally figured out a way to prevent people from suspecting Ms. Justice.
That is, not only to steal the bookmarks needed, but also to take the surrounding parts, including some of the lighter books!
Hoo…… ready Klein took out his gold-cased pocket watch, pressed it open and looked at it, patiently waiting for the time after 9 o’clock, before the early hours of the morning.
Too early, the surrounding populace had not yet slept, and could not meet the needs of his plan of action, too late, the streets would be almost nothing pedestrian, and just walking on the road would be easily suspected, and during this period of time, because of the serial killings, the whole of Beckland was in a state of tightened martial law.
This was favorable to Klein’s actions, and there were also disadvantages!
Tick tock, tick tock, the hands continue to move, with the deepening of the night, the red moon jumped out, they finally exceeded 9 o’clock.
Klein put away the “master key” and other things, took the cane, first went to the East End to change his attire, and then took several times to take the taxi carriage, and arrived at the West End of the King’s Road is not a short distance away from the place.
And by this time, an hour and three quarters had passed.
His initial plan was actually not like this, what he wanted was to use the way of summoning himself and responding to himself, turning into a spiritual body state, relying on extremely fast speed to leap over the distance from the Chorwood District to the West End, and then sneaking into the Kingdom Museum, utilizing that kind of special, so that people could not detect it and get his hands on it.
However, he eventually gave up on this option because of the potential, high risk.
There was a High Sequence powerhouse present in Berkland, and there was more than one!
In the case of the serial murders that had caused panic but had not been solved for a long time, there might be a high sequence powerhouse who was consciously utilizing their extraordinary abilities or corresponding sealing items to monitor certain regions, and the distance from the Chorwood District to the West District was neither long nor short, so the probability of a special spirit body being detected when flying over in this manner was not low.
This couldn’t be completely ignored just because the divination result “said there was a certain amount of danger, but it wasn’t very high”, because what was obtained from divination basically wasn’t an intuitive answer, but a revelation that needed to be interpreted.
In other words, the result of “some danger but not very high” requires the precondition that one has made a relatively good choice.
Therefore, Klein was cautious and modified his initial plan, but retained the core meaning.
……
Kingdom Museum, 2 King’s Avenue.
Above the polygonal four-slope roof, four security personnel in tweed coats stood separately, enduring the cold wind of the late fall night, they carefully examined their respective corresponding directions, once someone approached the museum, even with the help of the cover of the trees and the shadows of the houses, it would be difficult to hide from their eyes.
Just from this arrangement alone, it was evident that the security company that took over this commission was very professional.
”There’s still half an hour before we can rotate ……,” a security officer looked down at his companions patrolling the perimeter of the house below and shook his body.
Inside the museum, the remaining security personnel split into four groups, patrolling the galleries at intervals along different routes.
In the exhibition hall where Russell’s diary was stored, Max Levimore, the leader of the “Mechanical Heart” team, wearing the monocle that could directly see spirit monsters such as the Grieving Spirit and the Shadow, carried a horse lamp and did inspections back and forth, sometimes going out to check the situation elsewhere.
His two subordinates, on the other hand, always stayed inside the small hall, next to Roselle’s diary.
But there was one additional item placed on that glass display case.
It was a pile of colorful blocks, and they pieced together a miniature view of the first floor of the museum.
This was likewise a sealing item, as long as those deformable blocks were put together to correspond to the building, it could establish a connection with the real thing, and once someone broke in, it would immediately have a shrinking reaction on top of it.
Of course, this kind of correspondence has quite a few limitations, too far away from each other won’t work, and the number of blocks it has isn’t enough to put together won’t work either.
And the people and things that were inside it were almost impossible to leave without external help.
”Captain, are you seriously suggesting that someone would come and steal this notebook? It’s completely unreadable!” A member of the team asked idly when he saw Max returning with a horse lamp.
Max chuckled:
”Some of them worship Roselle with a fervor that is beyond your ability to understand.”
”Some of them think they can decipher it, they just need more references, while others believe that the symbols themselves contain mystical powers, and that by figuring out the right way to combine them, they will gain extraordinary powers.”
”Criminals like that have been caught in previous exhibitions from time to time.”
”That’s why we don’t collect the notes and put them into the sealed place, this is waiting for a guy to ‘turn himself in’, huh?” Another member of the team asked with some clarity.
Max nodded:
”Who wouldn’t want a merit badge delivered in front of them?”
……
18 King’s Avenue, outside the building near the crossroads.
Kraven finally arrived at this place by walking in a straight line along the shadows and sheltered areas, using the “master key” from time to time.
He once again took out the antique brass-colored key, pointed it at the kitchen door, and gave it a silent twist.
Between the imperceptible shaking of the water, Klein entered the inside, and went through doors and walls without disturbing anyone to find a storeroom.
”This ‘master key’ is really practical! It’s just that the previous two masters got lost and lost to dangerous places, so that people don’t dare to carry it with them all the time ……” Klein sighed, put away the brass-colored key, and in the case where the servant’s sleeping room was next to it, took out the Holy Night Powder, and lyrically released his spirituality, blocking off the entire storeroom, so that the movements within it could not be transmitted.
Then, he took out a candle and placed it on the chest directly in front of him.
Snap! He snapped his fingers, causing a light blue spiritual flame to emerge from his fingertips.
Once the candle-stick was lit, he followed the ritual magic process of summoning himself and going above the gray mist to respond to himself.
After a little less than a minute, Krynn floated across the room, and across from him was the lost flesh of his eyes.
After familiarizing himself with the sensation, he wrapped himself around the ancient and delicate Aztec copper whistle, allowing his spirit body to become solid and strong enough to allow a chilly wind to begin hovering and swirling around the room.
At the same time, he drew on this power to slightly alter the appearance presented by the illusory spirit body, making it seem as if a layer of oil paint had been applied over the face.
After doing so, Klein took a box of common matches bought randomly on the street and cut a transparent door in the wall of spirituality, using it to walk out.
”Action!”
He gave himself a silent pep talk, and just like a real ghost, he passed through one residential house after another, and smoothly arrived at the periphery of the Kingdom Museum.
Without the need to turn on his psychic vision, in this state he could clearly see each and every one of the security personnel, their auras and emotional colors betraying them unreservedly.
Finding the withered and faded lawn and the iron-black lamp post facing the windows of the exhibition hall, Kline didn’t take advantage of the fact that ordinary people couldn’t see him and waltz past, but followed the shadows, followed a route that was difficult to be watched, passed through the tree carvings, passed through the obstacles, and carefully arrived at his destination, pressed up against the wall – he didn’t dare to guarantee that those He couldn’t be sure that there wasn’t a member of the “Mechanical Mind” team mixed in with the security personnel.
At the moment, the four security officers on the roof, who were carefully scrutinizing their respective areas, were as blind as a true blind man, and couldn’t detect anything.
Klein didn’t enter the exhibition hall directly, both because his inspiration and intuition told him that the first floor of the museum was shrouded in mysterious power, and because he couldn’t confirm whether there were any extraordinary people inside.
As intended, he went around to the other side, outside a lavatory closer to the gallery where Roselle’s diary was located, and dropped the box of matches he was carrying through the vent.
Immediately afterward, he took flight and flew into the second floor!
