Part 2 The Faceless Man Chapter 40 Night Thoughts
Really …… very stylish! In the face of the bodyguard lady’s answer, Klein upturned the corner of his mouth, revealing an obvious smile.
Well, can briefly resist Rossago this “secret puppet master”, and even to a certain extent to form a tug of war, she is most likely also a strong Sequence 5, I do not know which Sequence, what is the name of the magic potion, the state is quite strange ah …… If not for her, I would not even have the opportunity to use the “Filthy Word”! If not for her, I wouldn’t have even had the chance to use “Filthy Words”…… Klein casually picked up the newspaper next to him, pretending to look through it, but actually thinking.
However, he quickly shifted his focus back to the question of whether or not there are still loopholes, for example, Rossago’s contaminated extraordinary characteristics have a strong spiritual luster, only by the iron cigarette box barrier, probably can not be hidden, it will be directly exposed under the prying eyes of other people’s psychic vision.
Klein quietly opened his spiritual vision and looked down into his coat pocket, only to see that there was a faint color coming through the iron cigarette case, but it wasn’t obvious and was quite thin.
It was mixed with the color of his own aura, making it difficult to distinguish and notice any longer.
”Not bad, at least one has to be a high sequence powerhouse to be able to see through the two interferences …… No wonder the herb powder and the corresponding essential oil pure dew and other kinds of materials have to be used in metal vials instead of wooden containers, because some of them contain spirituality, and with a higher level of spiritual vision, it is possible to penetrate the wooden boards and see the colors of the aura …… “Klein suddenly understood some of the do’s and don’ts of the occult field.
Whereas he used to do things by the book and didn’t bother to think about the why, he now understood the true meaning behind the rules.
After double-checking that there was no mistake, Klein put down the newspaper and walked to the second floor.
He originally planned to strip and take a bath to completely relax, but when he thought of a bodyguard lady at home who didn’t know where she would show up, he felt a little uncomfortable, so he simply just washed his face and brushed his teeth, and soaked his feet in hot water.
Returning to his bedroom, taking off his jacket and hiding his belongings, Klein collapsed on the bed, because he was too tired and strong for quite a while, his spirit was quite tense, and in turn, he could not fly to sleep.
Opening his eyes to look up at the scarlet moonlight on the ceiling, Krynn didn’t try to meditate his way to a deep slumber, but instead unfolded his thoughts aimlessly, like riding a horse without pulling the reins.
Thinking about it, because of too many coincidences in the city of Tingen, and afterward understood that it has a deep relationship with the seal “0-08”, so he quickly noticed a problem:
”Is it too much of a coincidence that my second case after arriving in Berkland gave me access to the magic potion formulas for the next three sequences?”
”Although this is in line with the revelation I received from divination – ‘the hope of becoming stronger is in Birkeland’ – it’s also too easy too soon, isn’t it?”
”Simple doesn’t refer to the difficulty, but to the circumspection of the matter; this matter is difficult and dangerous, but it’s not so complicated that it seems simple.”
”According to my expectation, it should have been through the collection of information on the Secret Society by Miss ‘Justice’, Mr. ‘Inverted Man’, Miss Hugh and her companions, little by little, that the tail of this ancient organization was caught, and only after many twists and turns did we finally obtain the formula, which is at least for a period of three months, who knows, this is less than three weeks and succeeded ……”
”It won’t be arranged again by who to be clear, right?”
”Well …… reviewing it again from the beginning, it’s not a coincidence that the Secret Society has some connection to the Republic of Intis, as confirmed sideways by the diary of Rossel the Great.”
”The abilities of the ‘Diviner’ and the ‘Faceless Man’ are well suited to intelligence organizations, and it’s reasonable and normal for a similarly-pathwayed Middle Sequencer to become an assistant to Beckiron, the head of intelligence, without coincidence. ”
”The ambassador sent someone to retaliate against me, there should be the idea of diverting attention, then letting Rosago, who is the easiest to get and the easiest to escape, come over is the choice to effectively reduce the risk, and is not surprising.”
”It was a fairly normal thought for Ian to look for new detectives from the newspaper after none of the detectives he knew would take on the task of tracking down Zeruel, and there weren’t many new detectives advertising at the time, maybe even just me, well I was the only one in the Birkeland Post ……”
”As summarized before, the problem was that Meursault was too reckless, and it was me who didn’t bother to conceal my appearance for fear of not being well disguised on a day-to-day basis and instead drawing attention to myself, both of which, while there was the possibility of being influenced, especially the former, were in line with the corresponding character, mindset and origin of the person coming from.”
”And, and this is beside the point, it doesn’t explain the fact that the second case I encountered involved a Sequencer in the path of the ‘Diviner’.”
”Destined? That doesn’t feel right.”
”Thinking about it further, the first and second cases I was involved in after I crossed over were also related to the ‘Diviner’ pathway, which, of course, can be explained by the ‘0-08’ arrangement. ”
”By the way, the notes from the Antigonus family also contaminated the ‘Doom Muppet’ by showing me that complex vertical eye symbol involving the Antigonus family’s treasure, and the reasoning I came up with at the time was that, after the Antigonus family’s bloodline became extinct, it would be a good idea for the Antigonus family to be a ‘ Diviner’ and having come into contact with it still alive, it regarded me as the object of the inheritance.”
”Now that I think about it, that was a very childish reason, what if I was a devout follower of the Goddess of Night? But at the time, I only made a guess and did not proceed to affirmation.”
”The treasure of the Antigonus family clearly involves the ‘Diviner’ pathway.”
”Thinking a little deeper, why did I cross over, and why did I just happen to possess Klein’s body instead of someone else’s …… At that point in time, Klein just happened to have performed a Black Divination, and was being controlled to commit suicide by a note from the Antigonus family, which was clearly connected to the ‘Diviner’ pathway.”
”Also, it’s a coincidence that the first Rossel diary I saw had regrets about not choosing the Apprentice, the Stealer, and the Diviner.”
”Sorting through it from the beginning to the end, except for the Part 1nvolving 0-08, those things seem messy, not like a conscious arrangement, closer to a, a passive attraction, a mutual attraction, with interruptions.”
”I attract things and objects related to the ‘Diviner’ pathway, while being attracted to them?”
”It’s pretty weird to think that this attraction can even indirectly affect fate in a way that Mr. Aztec can’t even see?”
”Is there some strange trait in me?”
”The kind of trait that allows me to come back from the dead in a limited way?”
Thinking of this, Klein immediately had the urge to go above the gray mist to divine for confirmation.
But he quickly dismissed the thought, not only because Miss Bodyguard might be watching in the mirror, but also due to the fact that he thought his greatest characteristic was the possession of that mysterious space above the gray mist!
So using it to divine itself was clearly unlikely to yield an answer.
At least for the moment, there are no obvious signs of manipulation, purely just attraction then, it is still acceptable …… And I have already chosen the extraordinary path, sequence 4 before can not be changed again, for the time being, take a step to look at it …… Well, first firmly do not go to the Hornachis Mountains Looking for the treasure of the Antigonus family …… Oh, I have a feeling that I will be able to say True Fragrance in the future …… Klein laughed silently to himself, and the exhaustion that he felt easing over gradually surged up, causing his eyelids to close in an unstoppable manner.
His last thought before he fell asleep was:
Attend more extraordinary gatherings, as well as collect “magician” materials through Miss Justice, Mr. Hangman, and Mr. Sun. “I don’t want to turn down any “Faceless Man” materials. Also, try to get a magical item that doesn’t have a serious negative effect, so that you can protect yourself until you finish digesting it and increase your strength. …… Other than that, invest, take commissions, save up money, and invest in the future. Take commissions, save up money, and look for Lanlus and use him as a starting point for vengeance, as well as practicing ……
That’s what Klein planned to do after that.
He woke up naturally at 7 a.m. It was still cloudy and foggy outside.
Klein got up and walked towards the door, passing the full-length mirror when he saw Ms. Bodyguard suddenly emerge.
She wore the same unchanging black fedora, her face as pale as ever, and her voice pierced through the glass and drifted disembodiedly into Klein’s ears:
”Last night, MI9 came by.”
Should I say the “police” were late, or should I thank them for being late …… Klein asked with a smile:
”They didn’t find anything, did they?”
He was very sure of the answer, if MI9 had found anything, he wouldn’t have been able to sleep until he woke up.
”No.” Miss Bodyguard’s figure faded and disappeared into the mirror.
This kind of ability of hers is very powerful ah …… can not be found with spiritual vision …… Perhaps, it can be seen with the extraordinary characteristics of the legacy of Rosago? Discover those hidden threads and thus find Miss Bodyguard? With a flutter in his heart, Klein returned to the bedside and pulled out the iron cigarette case from under the pillow.
He had just gotten into it, and before he had a chance to open it, there was suddenly a piercing coolness at the back of his neck, and the whole person instantly shook with sweat and trembled.
Snap!
His hand was loose, and the iron cigarette case fell to the ground.
This is the warning of the bodyguard lady …… Klein dryly laughed twice and pretended that nothing happened to stuff the iron cigarette case into his pants pocket.
After washing up and putting on his clothes, he went to the first floor and took out his subscription of those newspapers from the newspaper box outside the door.
Unfolding the Tasok Gazette, Klein saw the eye-catching headline:
”Intis Ambassador Beckiron Murdered, Terrorist Organization ‘Aurora Society’ Claims Responsibility!”
The results came out that fast? And why would the Aurora Society claim responsibility when they were only commissioned to do it? Well …… Terrorist organizations need to be able to attract enough new blood so that they can build up their image, which goes hand in hand with secret evangelism. …… Mr. A is very good, 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 at the scene that the “Aurora Club” had attacked Ambassador Beckland, and in the follow-up investigation, the “Aurora Club” had intentionally left behind letters claiming responsibility.
At the end of the news, the reporter introduced the “Aurora Club” and listed some of the illegal events they had done, which instantly made their fame surpass that of most secretive organizations.
In any case, the matter completely ended …… Klein exhaled, looked sideways at the window, and saw a thin fog filled, sparse rain drops.
”Shouldn’t a time like this come with brilliant sunshine and clear weather to answer the call?” Klein laughed to himself.
And next thing he knew, he had to go out and catch a break.
