Chapter 73 It's Sudden
191
Klein froze, then frowned deeply, thinking about organizing his language: "No, old Kohler, you don't have to do this."

"I previously entrusted you to be my informant to help me investigate the current situation in the Eastern District, so you deserve these expenses."

"As for Liv, I don't know if I can help her find her missing little daughter, and I just want to do it without any payment."

"Even so..." The guilt of deceiving Klein made the old Kohler feel painful. He concealed the fact that the members of the Aurora Order successfully hid in the East District with the assistance of Miss Maria, and concealed the fact that Mr. A was preaching in the East District.They are all good people, but there is no doubt that they are cults. Although a clever detective may soon find out, the feeling of deceiving his benefactor is still extremely painful, and he can't help but lower his head.

"Please accept it."

"..." Klein sighed, and had no choice but to withdraw a 5-soli note from it, stopping the old Kohler from continuing to stuff money into his hand, "I have received your wish, but, old Kohler, you Got a daughter to support too, and your daughter is so thin, don't you want to buy her some extra food? Keep it as it's for your Taylor."

Old Kohler was stunned, thinking of his daughter who was exhausted and haggard every day, and couldn't speak anymore when it came to his lips.

"Thank you, thank you, you are really a good person." He wiped his eyes vigorously, "I see."

Klein heaved a sigh of relief, put on his hat, and said with a smile, "Then take me to Liv's house."

Joewood area.

Hugh started his life as a bounty hunter again, and Fors, in order to speed up the progress of the new book, finally completed the manuscript of the drama that he cooperated with Mr. Edward Vaughn today.She successfully completed the task of the editorial department before November, and can receive the manuscript payment after today. She hopes to save enough money for the extraordinary materials needed by the "Master of Magic" as soon as possible.

But writing a new book doesn’t mean you can write it if you want to.The time agreed with Mr. Edward hadn't arrived yet, Fors scratched her hair irritably, and decided to go for a walk to find inspiration.

As she walked, she found that she had unknowingly returned to a familiar place.Diagonally in front of her is the Yousef clinic where she first worked, a rather large private clinic.

After staring for a while, Forle thought of the old lady who led him into the extraordinary world, so he turned to the alley on the right and took a shortcut to a nearby street.Forsi remembered that the old lady lived in the house at No. 39—she would occasionally come to deliver medicine or injections, and even help with some daily chores.

"It's been almost three years. It should be rented out again. Maybe it has changed several tenants... I still remember that when I came to sort out the relics, I found a lot of notes recording mysticism..." After a long time of winter, the trees withered, Fors walked under the sycamore tree with no leaves, and slowly approached the house at No. 39.Recalling her past experiences, she gradually had some inspiration for writing.

At this moment, she saw an old man in a heavy wool coat and a half-height black top hat standing at the door of the house at No. 39, and rang the doorbell three times.

After a few minutes, no one opened the door. The old man with a pair of blue eyes shook his head and turned around, whispering in doubt: "There is still no one..."

He suddenly found Forsi standing not far away, looking over here, hurriedly stepped forward, walked over, and smiled gently and eagerly: "Beautiful lady, do you live in this neighborhood? Do you know her?" Roberto and Anlisa?"

Anlisa?Isn't that the old lady's name?Has this home had no recent tenants?Fors thought about it and said: "I don't know if the Mrs. An Lisa I know is the one you are looking for. She lived here for a long time, but passed away three years ago."

"Passed away three years ago? Where's Roberto?" The old man with some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes hurriedly asked.

"Her husband died before her," she answered honestly.

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then showed a sad expression.He was silent for a moment and said, "Thank you, kind lady.

"I'm Lao Boluo's elder brother, and I've been living in Jianhai County. Since I haven't received a letter from them for a long time, I decided to come and have a look.

"Can you tell me something about their years?"

Mrs. An Lisa's husband's brother... Could it be the descendant of the family she mentioned?Forsi suddenly woke up, and responded with a smile: "No problem." She quickly thought about what she could say and what she couldn't say.

The old man pointed to the side and said, "There's a nice cafe over there..."

Fors was about to nod her head in agreement, when she suddenly heard a familiar male voice from behind her: "Miss Fors?"

This voice is... I forgot that Mr. Edward Vaughan lived in the Jorwood area. Isn't this very close to his home?She turned her head and saw her acquaintance as expected.Fors was stunned for a moment: "Hello, Mr. Vaughn, I'm taking a walk, isn't it the time we agreed on? I might want to talk to this old gentleman first."

Edward, who was wearing a dark gray woolen overcoat with a handbag in his hand to hold the manuscripts, looked at his watch, and then smiled at Forsi: "No problem, there is still more than one hour left before our agreement." Hours. Miss Fors, you can do your thing first."

"Okay." Fors relaxed and brushed her hair.

The old man from the Abraham family looked at Edward secretly, but he didn't see any clues, and the spiritual intuition of the "astrologer" didn't indicate anything, so he thought that he was just an ordinary person.

Now that he had already met Fors, and the appointed time was not too long away, Edward canceled the original reservation and decided to go with them.After obtaining the consent of the two of them, he followed to the cafe.Fors and the old man entered a small booth in the coffee shop to talk, while he sat down at the booth outside, put down his purse, ordered a cup of coffee, a cake, found a newspaper, and waited patiently for their chat to finish.

Abraham's survivors come to find someone?It doesn't look like they came here for Forsi, that is to say, it is very likely that they encountered a combination of Beyonder characteristics, a coincidence... The waiter put the coffee beans into the tool, and slowly ground the coffee with the rocker , the rustling sound sounds very decompressive.

He ordered the best coffee beans available in this small cafe, and the hazelnut cake was freshly made and it took several minutes before it was served.Edward didn't specifically listen to the conversation between Fors and the old man. He leisurely waited for the food and coffee to be served on the table, taking it as a temporary relaxation to pass the time.

When the waiter brought the espresso coffee to the table, Edward noticed that Forsi came out, but he didn't go towards him, but asked the waiter about the location of the bathroom, and then left.

A few minutes later, Edward suddenly felt a familiar, strange, needle-like chill.

This extremely weird feeling is still fresh in the memory of the decaying king, and it belongs to the breath of Origin Castle of the Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun!
In this situation, facing Yuanbao and Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun?!Covered by layers of clothes, goose bumps appeared on Edward's arms in the blink of an eye, and the stress response almost made him manifest all the fine and dense scales and exoskeleton.But in the next second, he was forcibly calmed down, and the king of decay pushed aside the part of the consciousness that simulated human beings, and temporarily controlled the body.He looked up, but at this time the illusory feeling belonging to Origin Castle had disappeared, replaced by——

Fors left the bathroom and reappeared in His eyes.

A thin layer of gray mist shrouded her body.

193
Above the gray fog, after putting down the paper figurine and completing Forsi's prayer, Klein temporarily put the matter of the Abraham family behind him.

According to the original plan, he manifested a pen and paper, and wrote the next divination sentence: "Daisy's current situation."

After putting away the pen, Klein stacked Daisy's word book and the paper on which the divination statements were written, and held it in his left hand.

Then, leaning against the back of the chair, he entered a state of meditation, and silently recited "Daisy's current situation" over and over again.

After a full seven times, Klein fell asleep, and his eyes were dark and red at first, and then gray.A picture after another flashed, some were coherent, some jumped, and some were illogical.

Klein saw the youngest daughter of the laundry worker Liv, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl who was repeatedly scalded by steam but insisted on ironing her clothes, was covered by a handkerchief from behind by a man wearing a heavy jacket and a gray-black peaked cap. , Forcibly dragged into a fork in a remote alley.

Another man dressed in the same way grabbed her legs, lifted her up with his companions, and walked quickly.

Their goal was the carriage parked outside the alley.The whole process was over in less than 2 minutes, and by the time Daisy's sister, Freya, turned around to find this place, the carriage had already left.

……

In the carriage, a dazed Daisy was pressed against her face by a cold and sharp dagger, and dirty threatening words were heard in her ears.

……

The carriage drove into Cappin's luxurious villa.

……

Daisy was in a small and dark room, and women's cries, screams and curses echoed from time to time outside.

……

Daisy woke up and shouted for help, but was knocked over by someone opening the door, and was so painful that she couldn't stand up.She shed tears and kept whispering words like "Mom" and "Freya".

…………

Klein opened his eyes, and found that the paper held in his left palm was pinched tightly by himself and crumpled into a ball at some point.

He had established that Capin was behind many of the disappearances of teenage girls, that he was the leader of a crime syndicate.

But the problem is that this kind of case should not and cannot involve too much extraordinary power. At most, there are a few Sequence 7, Sequence 8, and Sequence 9 who are greedy for money to help. Intuitive sense of intense danger.

Even if the danger level is adjusted upwards, it shouldn't be to the extent that Maria, the gang leader in the East District, should be afraid.After all, Maria should be at least a mid-sequence Beyonder, and a Beyonder like a "lawyer" who is good at both melee combat and ability combat. What's more, there are other subordinates who need private investigators to investigate the internal route. It's really strange to fight people instead of fighting head-on.

Could it be that Kapin himself is a Sequence 6, or even a Sequence 5 Extraordinary?But it is not difficult for extraordinary people at this level to make money. There is no need to do such dirty and cumbersome things. It is simpler and easier than this to directly recruit various gangsters and collect protection fees one by one, and it will not be dirty. own hands... Is there any conspiracy hidden in Kapin's human trafficking?While thinking about it, Klein used the power of the gray fog to restore Daisy's glossary to an even level.

After a few seconds of silence, he manifested a piece of parchment again and wrote a new divination statement: "Saving Daisy is a dangerous thing."

After calming down for a few seconds, he closed his eyes and silently recited the divination statement he had just written.When the sound stopped, Klein opened his eyes and looked at the pendulum in his left hand.The citrine pendant is turning clockwise, at a very fast speed and with a large range!
This is affirmative, and it means that saving Daisy is a very dangerous thing to do!

Then Miss Maria... No, it is very dangerous for me, but it should not be completely hopeless for her, there is still a lot of possibility, as long as I can grasp it, if I can get a complete The road map, or I join in to help them in a special way, as long as I can do it... Klein interpreted the revelation given by the "Pendulum Method".

He leaned back on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Aren't you looking for an opportunity to take the initiative to perform?"

"This is!"

"As a magician, after all, you still have to challenge some difficult things, otherwise you should be called a master of tricks, not a magician. To accomplish seemingly impossible things, even if the result is false, this is the magician in my heart Image, as to whether it is one of the codes, needs to be confirmed..."

"But my primary goal is still to get the road map, and then help Miss Maria who sneaked in under the condition of ensuring my own safety, at least not to let her operation fail."

Thinking of this, Klein regained some sanity, tapped the edge of the ancient long table with his fingers, and quickly made a decision.Rescuing Daisy and dealing with Capin is the biggest difficulty for him, or for Maria, because he doesn't know each other at all, and he doesn't know how many Extraordinary people are in that villa, and which party they belong to. which sequence to pass.

This made it impossible for Klein to make targeted preparations, and it was also the reason why Maria had no choice but to turn to the detectives for help.

And for "magicians", the first rule is, "Don't do unprepared performances"!
"Actually, in this regard, if I can't even get Miss Maria's contacts, then I shouldn't be able to ask for help from Miss 'Justice', or Miss 'Magician' and her friends. Unless, I do it myself , get the information you want from the servants or bodyguards who come out of Kapin Villa, and use the 'psychic' method."

After finalizing the plan and steps, his figure disappeared in the majestic palace above the gray mist in an instant.

194
After lunch, Klein successfully possessed the man serving Capin according to his plan.And control his body, go to a nearby cheap small hotel to hold a summoning and psychic ceremony.

The man suddenly turned over and sat up, opened his eyes, and looked quite dull.He stood up straight, walked to the front of the altar step by step, and then whispered: "A fool who does not belong to this era;"

"You are the mysterious ruler above the gray mist;"

"You are the Yellow and Black King of Good Luck."

In the monotonous but rhythmic whispers, in the fragrance that made it difficult to concentrate, the man's mental body gradually diverged, and the whole person became dazed but maintained a certain degree of strange sobriety, as if he was in self-hypnosis.With the "help" of Klein in the form of a spirit body, and under the influence of feedback from chanting the name "The Fool", he gradually entered the state of "artificial sleepwalking", and the astral body approached the gray patch of infinite heights. The fog approached the mysterious place above the gray fog.

Klein seized this opportunity, ended the summoning, returned to the majestic ancient palace, and sat in the seat that belonged to The Fool.


"Who are the powerful people in Kapin Villa?" Klein asked through the interactive spirituality.

The phantom passed the picture in his memory without any resistance, making Klein feel like he was watching a holographic movie: the man in the peaked cap stood fearfully and respectfully in the room, and in front of him was a man in a black tuxedo. , a middle-aged gentleman with a white hair set.

This gentleman has a long, thin and serious face, with his mouth naturally pursed, giving off an unusually indifferent feeling.There is a mysterious light in his eyes, making it impossible to disobey his words.

……

The man in the peaked cap carried an unconscious girl along the stairs to the entrance of the underground area.

There, there was a small separated room, in which sat a bearded man of indeterminate age.This bearded man has a pair of cold and terrifying blue eyes, holding a fine velvet cloth in his hand, and is carefully wiping the off-white complex rifle on the table.The rifle was thick and long, and it was connected to a huge mechanical box of the same color through pipes.

A dangerous person with a controlled firearm.

……

The man in the peaked cap entered the well-arranged underground building like a prison, locked the unconscious girl in one of the small rooms, and touched her sensitive parts reluctantly.

He locked the door, went back to the corridor, and lifted the lantern.At this moment, he saw a figure walking slowly from the depths of the corridor at the other end.The figure's eyes seemed to be able to see through the darkness, and it didn't carry any lighting device.

With the help of the light of the lantern, the man in the peaked cap discovered that it was a woman in her 30s.The woman was wearing a brown soft hat turned up in the middle, a thin white shirt and suspenders, and a pair of knee-length cowhide boots.There are several old scars on her face, and there is always a cruel smile on the corner of her mouth.

A woman with a fierce temperament and who seems to be good at fighting.

No new characters appeared after that.There are four Beyonders in total, at least four... The strongest one should be Mr. Heras, at least Sequence 6, maybe even Sequence 5... I don't know what path it is, it is somewhat similar to the "Dark Emperor" path... Rely on order and promulgate laws?According to the scene just now, it can be preliminarily judged that the ban is only for the underground area, not including the entire villa. Also, people come and go during the day, once it is banned, it will be too troublesome to get in and out... I don't know if it is the same at night... Klein's analysis Based on the information obtained just now, he asked again:
"What does the overall layout of the villa look like?"

He quickly received feedback, and saw the magnificent hall, the elegant and spacious restaurant, the corridor running through the first floor, as well as the bathroom, the underground area and other scenes.

Through them, Klein pieced together the general layout of Capin's villa in his mind.And he quickly drew up an accurate sketch. The time was urgent, and he planned to hand it to Miss Maria in person.

Otherwise, according to the speed of Backlund's postman, I don't know when this letter will be delivered. Now it's really saving people like putting out a fire. In order to prevent worse things from happening, I can't delay for a minute...

Klein took a breath silently, his expression became firm.

*In order to cover up the divination of Abraham's family, Fors asked the Fool for a paper angel.

This part of the plot is long, and I have to take it apart.

You should be able to get started in the next chapter.

The last chapter mentioned one of the children raised by the Ernst Foundation, little Alia, so let me add a small setting by the way.

Orphans raised by the Ernst Foundation, who have no name, no token, no birth certificate, and no parents to identify, will be given a name first, and then let them give themselves a surname, or put the responsible person The surnames are drawn together.

Alia's name was drawn by lot, and she had chosen the surname of the director of the Tingen Workhouse, so her full name was Alia Viliana.
