Hearing Klein and Fry's guess, Leonard pulled off the collar of his shirt and paced back and forth a few steps:
Then we must investigate everyone Sauls has contacted in the workhouse and everyone he met after he went bankrupt and was kicked out of the house. This is very troublesome... Let's hurry up and do a separate investigation here, then head straight to the third death in the West District, and hand over the rest to the police.
OKKlein answered without hesitation.
Fry had no objection, and turned to the few poor people who slept near Sauls last night.
Klein was about to find another target when he suddenly saw Leonard wink at him and pointed his chin at the side hall of the workhouse.
What's the meaning?
He was confused and pretended that nothing had happened. He circled around the Mass Hall for a half-way round, and then, while Fry was not paying attention, followed Leonard's footsteps, entered the side hall, and through the partition, he came to the secluded corner.
I have a guess.Leonard stopped in front of the broken glass window and spoke suddenly and directly.
Klein looked left and right in confusion and said: What guess?
Leonard asked in deep green eyes:
Without the influence of extraordinary factors, what do you think Mrs. Lawvis will end?
Klein thought for a while and said heavily: The same ending will be the same, but it will be postponed for one week, two weeks, or one month. For families like theirs, they will definitely not go to see a doctor until they cannot support it. As long as the heart disease becomes serious, death may come at any time and there will be no room for salvation.
What about Thors?If he had not been instigated, what would he have ended?Leonard asked again.
Klein spoke carefully:
Judging from the information, Sauls has long been full of resentment about bankruptcy and is extremely resentful of not being saved. I think he will retaliate sooner or later, but the target will not be the person who was rescued, but the company boss who caused him to go bankrupt and the bank employee who took away his house.
What will happen after he takes revenge?Leonard asked afterwards.
There is no doubt that he has planned to terminate his life and he will die regardless of whether the revenge is successful or not.Klein gave a positive answer.
Leonard nodded slightly, revealing his signature frivolous smile:
Then can I say that Mrs. Lawvis and Thors are both destined to die in the near future?
Klein is an informative keyboard expert. After hearing this question, he immediately made a guess:
You mean, their deaths were artificially advanced by extraordinary factors?Why is this?
To be more accurate, the ‘life’ they should have was artificially shortened and stolen by extraordinary factors, and ‘life’ has always been the best material for summoning evil gods, demons and terrible curses.Leonard corrected Klein's guess with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.
Summon evil gods and demons, and perform terrible curses... Klein stared at the other party's green eyes, half questioning and half speculating, do you seem to be very sure?But our survey sample is only two...
Leonard smiled cynically and said: Klein, we don’t need to pretend. I have witnessed you get rid of the control of the seal ‘2-049’, knowing your specialness, and you should also vaguely feel that I am different from ordinary people.
He curled his smile and said to Klein's gaze:
I once told you that there are many special people in this world who can always do things that others cannot do, such as you and me.
This world has a long history. There are magical objects of one kind or another. There will always be people who get them, master them, and become the protagonists of different dramas. There will not be too many such people, but it is certainly impossible that there will be only one or two people.
I don't think that the extraordinary people who hide secrets must be bad guys or villains, and I don't think that they must figure out what their special origins are and why their performance... As long as your behavior does not harm me, the night watchman and the entire city of Tingen, you will still be my teammate. Similarly, I also hope that you should look at me with a similar attitude. Of course, it is best not to tell the people above about this kind of thing. Those guys are old-fashioned and conservative, and always think that special people like us will inevitably lose control and will inevitably be tempted by the evil gods and demons and fall into depravity.
But, I'm afraid my secrets are more than you think... Klein said silently and said frankly:
I do have this attitude, only looking at your behavior and purpose, not caring about your particularity, and not trying to spy on your secrets.
After saying this, he added silently in his heart: No, I actually care more and I am quite curious, but I can only force myself to endure it. Well, Leonard thinks he is the protagonist of a drama?
What kind of adventure did he get and what kind of magical items did he own?
Leonard unbuttoned the collar of his shirt and nodded with a chuckle:
Glad we reached a consensus.
In those adventure novels, this is called the encounter between the two protagonists, and the wheels of history begin to roll forward.
shameless!Klein smiled perfunctorily.
He knew clearly that the wheels of history began to roll forward, from Emperor Rossell the Great...
At this time, Leonard walked quickly twice, his green eyes bright, and his lips outlined:
Well, I'm honestly sure that I suspect that the protagonists of these deaths should die one after another within three months, but they were used in various ways to advance to the last two weeks. The other party's purpose is to summon evil gods, demons, or to conduct a terrible, large-scale curse.
It is easy to hide the past if people with signs of death are allowed to die early, and will not attract the attention of the police department soon, and will not be destroyed by the night watcher, the punishment person and the mechanical heart during the preparation stage... Klein whispered to himself, analyzing the thoughts of the person behind the scenes.
Leonard smiled and echoed:
Yes, if a healthy, normal person suddenly dies for no reason, as long as there are more than three incidents, they will definitely be paid attention and will be routinely investigated.
So how can we find the altar for the ceremony?Whether it is summoning evil gods, demons, or creating terrible curses, it requires an altar and a ritual, and the "life" harvested in advance must also be stored in similar places.Klein trusted the other party for now, after all, he did not find any other clues and could not make another judgment.
It won't be what if I try it!
Leonard laughed twice and said: Klein, shouldn't this be your professional field?Can't you imagine what would be around the altar similar to a ritual?
Before Klein could answer, he first described: The breath of death is rich, with the altar as the center of the ball, and within a radius of 10 meters, except for the host of the ceremony, there will be no living creatures... The temperature around is at least 5 degrees Celsius lower than normal, and cold winds are constantly blowing... In the altar sealed by the spiritual wall, there are also the "life" taken away by Mrs. Lawws and others...
Speaking of this, he looked at Klein and joked:
I believe you can definitely tell where the altar with these characteristics is located.
Klein frowned slightly and replied in a deep voice:
As long as it is not beyond Tingen, I need an absolutely quiet environment without interruption, such as my home, well, and I also need personal belongings from Mrs. Lawvis and others.
At the same time, he was murmured, feeling that Leonard had a very good understanding of this black magic and black witchcraft.
No problem.Leonard laughed, took a sudden step, walked over Klein, and walked towards the Mass Hall, but he didn't talk much anymore.
This guy's style of doing things is really unique... Klein complained and returned with the other party's original path.
Found Fry who was seriously asking and recording, Leonard said seriously:
I had a guess and planned to let Klein give it a try.
What guess?Fry asked seemingly coldly.
I will tell you if there is a result. I don’t want to be the target of Luo Shan and the others laugh at.Leonard made an excuse casually and took things over.
Fry didn't ask any more questions, and as he told him to borrow Thors and Mrs. Lawvis's belongings from nearby police stations, and then met with his teammates at Klein's house.
You are waiting in the living room and don't let anyone disturb me.Klein took out his pocket watch, pressed it open, and took a look.
It was almost 6 o'clock and Melissa could come back at any time.
You can trust us.Leonard walked around the small living room with his hands in his pockets, while Fry sat quietly on the sofa.
Is this guy a ADHD patient?Klein curled his lips and returned to the bedroom on the second floor, locked the wooden door and sealed the room with a spiritual wall.
Immediately afterwards, he set up an altar and prayed for the goddess' help to eliminate the interference in advance.
Then, Klein wrote the corresponding divination statement on paper:
Location of the altar.
The restrictions he gave were very broad to avoid mistakes.
Taking the paper and the deceased's personal belongings, Klein half lay on the bed, first recalling the scene described by Leonard, and then silently reciting the divination sentence seven times.
He did not try to complete it with the special above the gray fog. One reason was that Leonard, a strange and mysterious guy, was downstairs, and no one knew whether he would notice something this time. The other reason was that he was a diviner whose potion was about to be digested, and it should be enough with the assistance of the ritual.
If there is no result, Klein will consider finding another opportunity to go to the gray fog. After all, summoning evil gods and demons will threaten Benson, Melissa, and his own affairs!
With the help of meditation, he quickly entered his dream and saw blurry, hazy, illusory and fragmented scenes.
Soon, a picture appeared in front of him.
It was a second-story gray-blue house bathed in the dusk. The windows on the first floor were closed, and the dark curtains did not have any gaps, but they often expanded and contracted.
The soil near the house was dark brown, without a single grass or a flower, and the surrounding garden seemed to be covered in shadows, dilapidated and dim.
Not far from this house, there is a river rushing quietly.
……
After a while, Klein, who had not seen more images, withdrew from his dream.
Leonard's guess is true... Where will that house be?There are too many rivers in Tingen City, such as the southwest of the West District, the dock area, the university area... He opened his eyes, rubbed his temples, and thought with a serious expression.
Then we must investigate everyone Sauls has contacted in the workhouse and everyone he met after he went bankrupt and was kicked out of the house. This is very troublesome... Let's hurry up and do a separate investigation here, then head straight to the third death in the West District, and hand over the rest to the police.
