"...That's probably what happened, so now there are two things to do at the same time. One is the madness of Hood Organ, a member of the Psychological Alchemy Society, and the other is the cause of Mrs. Sharon's death. Captain, which one should we finish first?"

Dunn asked some more detailed questions, rubbed his forehead, and said after thinking carefully: "Starting in the afternoon...it happens to be my turn to monitor the lunatic asylum. We can't go directly. No one knows the doctors, nurses, handymen and patients in the lunatic asylum. Are there still members of the Psychological Alchemy Society hidden inside? We must be concealed enough... In the early hours of the morning, we will sneak in early tonight."

"Okay." Klein agreed, and then asked uncertainly, "Shall I go to investigate Mrs. Sharon's residence alone?"

"Aren't you going to learn tracking and surveillance skills? This is a good opportunity to practice." Dunn said, "It just so happens that the part you were responsible for in the Langerwuss case has ended."

"Okay..." Klein didn't refuse anymore. Anyway, completing the task will be counted in the performance, and it will not be difficult to investigate the murder scene.

But in the afternoon, Klein felt deeply regretful for his simple thoughts at that time.

"The captain said that the police have cordoned off the scene to protect it. As long as you say hello to them and show your ID, you can enter for investigation. But he didn't say that Mr. Maynard's widow and sister hate Mrs. Sharon so much!"

"Captain, has he forgotten?"

Klein used the "Joker's" body control ability to climb over the wall and then climbed up from the water pipe to the balcony on the second floor. Because the scene of this murder was extremely horrifying and the church had been asked for help, the police had erected a simple partition wall so that no one could see it all: “They were already suspicious of the congressman’s death and were looking for private detectives everywhere. Investigate the 'truth', and now I am very grateful to the murderer for brutally killing Mrs. Sharon, and they even used their personal relationships to exert pressure!"

The police had been replaced by their people. Even if Klein showed his ID, he was made difficult for a long time and was not allowed to go in to investigate.

Entering the bedroom, Klein took a breath of air. A large amount of blood seemed to be squeezed and spilled, covering the four walls and even splashing on the ceiling. There were traces of dragging on the ground, and there were long bloodstains on the corner of the wall where fingers were clawing at the wall and struggling to escape. Combined with the captain's description: limbs were broken, internal organs were hollowed out, the scene was horrific... Klein couldn't help but retching. There was a sound. Even though it had been ventilated all morning, the blood in the room was still bright red, as if it was still flowing.

No, I don't want to touch it with my hands at all... I did a simple divination, but didn't get any useful results. Mrs. Sharon's body is not here either, so she cannot be channeled. Finally, his eyes fell on the safe in the room. Klein sighed, endured the discomfort and closed the doors and windows. After confirming that no one was prying, he took out the ceremonial silver dagger, poured out the spiritual energy, combined it with the power of nature, and sealed the entire room.

He wants to "summon" himself!

Although I can't pick a lock, no one understands spirits better than me!

"Since you're here, let's just do a divination and see if we can find any clues..." Klein took four steps backwards and came to the mysterious space above the gray fog. After pondering for a while, he wrote on the parchment. A divinatory utterance, "Extraordinary factors were present in the death of John Maynard."

"There were extraordinary factors in the death of John Maynard."

After repeating it seven times, he opened his eyes and looked at the pendulum, his pupils suddenly shrank - the citrine pendant was rotating clockwise! This means that Congressman Maynard’s death was influenced by extraordinary factors!

Klein stared at the slowly calming pendulum, and a huge wave surged in his heart: "My divination at that time was affected and interfered with..."

"Mrs. Sharon is an extraordinary person, a very powerful extraordinary person?"

Still reciting it silently seven times, still using the "Pendulum Method", Klein used some information about his current environment and Mrs. Sharon to complete the divination and see the answer.

Citrine is still spinning clockwise!

Klein gasped softly, and the image that originally came to his mind when he saw this murder scene - a weak and beautiful woman being brutally dismembered and killed by thugs - gradually disappeared. Mrs. Sharon is an Extraordinary, so only a stronger Extraordinary can kill her without any resistance! Once extraordinary factors are involved, the nature of the murder becomes unclear. Is this a personal feud between two extraordinary people, or a confrontation between the secret organizations surging in Tingen?

Thinking of this, Klein suddenly felt horrified that his body was still at the scene! No one can be sure whether the murderer is looking right here!

Not daring to waste any more time, he immediately left the mysterious space and entered the mysterious safe as quickly as possible. He found a photo of a young man in it. With the premise that "Mrs. Sharon is a powerful Beyonder", Klein did not have any random imagination and soon realized that the other person was probably a "witch"!

While groping, Klein was startled. He found a compartment. After confirming that there was no danger, he got in. In his field of vision, ritual ointments, incense and other items were reflected, as well as a cracked but not completely shattered white bone. The statue is vaguely a beautiful woman with eyes at the end of her hair.

"After completing all preparations, Lanervus beguiled Hood Eugen and asked him to help him perform a ceremony, using the defrauded fiancée Megoose as a carrier to give birth to the heir of the "True Creator". "

"The kind-hearted Ince Zangwill secretly helped Lanreus. He separated half of the collected characteristics of the descendants of Death and implanted them into Megoos's body a certain time in advance."

"Hood Eugen put Megoose into a semi-coma state. Moisturized by the resentment accumulated day and night in the factory area, and catalyzed by the substantial darkness and depression, the ceremony was successful, and Megoose became pregnant. The descendant of the "True Creator". This god saw the coincidence of things, but he who hoped to break through the seven gods' blockade did not refuse. "

"After the ceremony was successful, the crazy Lanerwus regained his sanity. If the descendant of the gods is successfully born, then he will be one of the sacrifices. How can a mortal become the father of the descendants of the gods? This is a great blasphemy!"

"He tried to escape and received a death warning in his dream that night."

"Laervus had to stay in Tingen, but he wanted to tell the Nighthawks, Punishers, and Mechanical Heart about the 'bomb', and let them solve the future troubles for themselves. There is always a price to pay for madness."

"...Aurora Society members Heinus Vincent and Sirius Arepis were all killed. They didn't have time to pass on the news. It would take about a week for Mr. Z, who was far away in another city, to notice him. His subordinates had been killed. And when he realized that the mission almost failed, he had to take time out from his own affairs, return to Tingen as quickly as possible to conduct surveys, and then write a letter to report to the Aurora Society."

"It is a pity that the experienced postman responsible for the area where he temporarily lived happened to be on leave due to illness and was replaced by a new person who was not familiar with the streets here. The letters he placed in the mailbox will be forgotten by everyone."

"After a month, the Aurora Society finally realized the problem."

"On the evening of September 3rd, the messenger of the "True Creator" arrived. "

"The visitor is actually the "Angel of the Abyss"! It seems that the god attaches great importance to this divine descent. His arrival will undoubtedly intensify the chaotic undercurrent under Tingen's calm surface. By a very coincidence, He was expected to appear near a house with a red chimney through spiritual teleportation, which happened to be "

"It happens to be not the building where Ince Zangwill is hiding. He has no target to look for, so he plans to patrol the city."

(The second sentence is completely blacked out)

"At this moment, the witch Mrs. Sharon walked out of her lover's house. After successfully killing John Maynard, she had been in a happy and excited mood in the past few days. So she invited His Highness the Angel of the Abyss, and Little did he know that what he was seeking was the devil’s favor.”

"She let her guard down because she successfully completed the task. This is reasonable, everyone will have such a period. The Angel of the Abyss received the blood sacrifice, He was in a good mood, and decided"

(Then the text was completely covered by a pool of ink, mixed with mottled blood, and the page was stained with a few pieces of flesh, making it impossible to read the original text clearly)

"... He was relatively satisfied with this sacrifice, so he did not take into account the audacious Ince Zangwill's offensive behavior. Praise Him."

"Ince Zangwill's plans continue."

Dunn received Klein's report in the evening and learned that Mrs. Sharon was a member of the "Witch Cult" and the broken evil god statue in the safe. He did not dare to neglect and quickly wrote a report on the matter to report to the higher level. In the early hours of the morning, Dunn and Klein "visited" Hood Organ in the lunatic asylum and dealt with the psychiatrist who was almost out of control.

Late at night, he walked around in the huge dreams of all the sleeping people in the city, eating and drinking as a "nightmare". Klein received quite a mental shock in the afternoon, so Dunn thoughtfully did not disturb the other party's dream, leaving a wish for a good sleep.

He slowly circled and came to the window of a hotel in the city center, observing the tourists for any suspicious persons. When he walked to the third floor, Dunn found a gentleman with brown hair and tortoise-rimmed glasses sitting there alone, reading a book quietly with misty eyes. There were exquisite snacks and hot black tea and milk on the table. .

So he knocked on the door, walked in, and then quickly wiped out all the food on the three-tiered snack shelf, and had an impeccable and perfect afternoon tea late at night. Dunn enjoyed this "hospitality" and before leaving, he took off his hat and gave a simple salute to the owner of the dream.

But when he went to the entrance and opened the door to leave, the hem of his windbreaker swung when he turned around and scraped off a gray felt-covered notebook placed on the shelf at the door. The notebook fell to the ground with a clatter, and the notes and excerpted clippings inside fell out one after another.

Dunn hesitated for a moment. Even though he knew this was just a dream world, he turned around and apologized to the brown-haired gentleman. Then he squatted on the stall and picked up the scattered notes.

He didn't notice that the dream owner's smile slowly disappeared.

At this time, he discovered that the notebook was filled with densely twisted text. He only needed to take a glance to know that it must be Rossel's text. I didn't expect that this gentleman would actually have Russell's notes in his dream world. Could it be that he was also a occult enthusiast? Thinking of Klein, who was also very interested in Russell's notes in his team, Dunn couldn't help but smile, and then - his smile froze at the corner of his mouth.

This notebook has annotations and translations.

There are several scattered pages with translations attached. Just below each paragraph of Roselle's text, there is a piece of label paper clipped with a paper clip, which translates these sentences in standard Loen language like a printed version.

"...The key to the potion is not to master it, but to digest it! It is not to dig, it is to act! And the name of the potion is not only a core symbol, but also a specific image, and it is the "key" to digestion!"

"It turns out that there are such secrets hidden in potions and pathways... In this way, they can be interchanged in Sequence 4. There are the "Sleepless One" pathway and the "Corpse Collector" pathway. Well, the church's "General Knowledge" pathway and the "Peeper" pathway. The "Mysterious Man" paths can also be substituted for each other at high sequences."

"Performance" and pathways are interchanged. Could it be that... Dunn's pupils instantly shrank to the size of a needle tip? He suddenly remembered something. He thought of what Klein told everyone, "The safety control learned from the motto of the secret spy." "The magic potion method", he thought of Archbishop Ince Zangwill who escaped and failed to be promoted to Sequence 4, and thought of the ashes of St. Selena, the holy object behind Chanis Gate, and he felt like there was a flash of inspiration in his mind. It flashed past, splitting open the chaos that had been clueless like lightning, but he was too late to catch it, and the pages in his hand disappeared in an instant.

"...I am already ready to let you go, Mr. "Nightmare". "

The middle-aged gentleman sitting on the single sofa put down the book in his hand at some point and looked at him with gentle and pitying eyes.

There was a loud bang in Dunn's head.

Can't open spiritual vision! Can't open spiritual vision! !

Run! no no! You will die if you run away, and you will die if you stay! Unable to make a sound, there is nowhere to escape! !

What is this? ! Why does Tingen have such a thing? ! I will undoubtedly die, but I must find a way to deliver the message——

Dunn felt the endless fear of death in this gaze, unable to go against the instinct of his body and trembling violently. He immediately left the dream to seek life without even thinking about it, but the dream world that shattered like glass was not his bedroom, but a dark secret realm: at his feet, there seemed to be a mountain made of huge corpses of monsters, and at the foot of the mountain The pitch-black ocean splashes blood-red waves on the cliffs, and at the end of the field of vision is a liquid-like boundless black mist that seems to cover the world.

Centered on the sofa, the spreading darkness swallowed up everything.

The gentleman smiled and asked him: "But why do you want to die?"

*Investigator Dunn casually rolled a dice and achieved a great success in investigation, which attracted the unhappy gaze of the evil god.

*Presumably by this time everyone should have almost realized what kind of god Edward (the Decline King) is, so he will not attend Tarot Club. If a chaotic evil like him goes up, the first thing he will do is to remember the auras of all the people, and then confirm whether the Fool is the Heavenly Lord. Once he realizes that the Fool is not, he will go over and kill everyone according to the impression in his memory. , so that no one on earth can become the Lord of Mysteries until the end of the world.

*Why can’t I change my avatar and ID? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh If I still can’t change my avatar and ID, I will sign a contract with this garbled ID. Don’t you want to do that? ! ? ! ? !
