Lord of the Mysteries

Chapter 122 Target Building

No. 2 Narcissus Street, the living room stained with dusk colors.

With his back to the oriel window, Klein said to Frye and Leonard:

"My divination came to fruition. In my dream, I saw a gray-blue two-story house. All the windows on the first floor were closed and the curtains were drawn. The soil around it was black and brown for several meters, and no grass grew. , didn't grow a single flower, and it had a shabby, dark garden, like the ones you see in ghost stories."

"The only symbol that can identify its location is a river not far from it, a wider river."

"This may be the Tussock River or the Hoy River. We can only find it by investigation. I hope there is still time."

The Tasok River is the largest river in the Kingdom of Loen. It originates from the Miner Minsk Mountains in the northwest. It flows all the way to the southeast, passing through Jianhai County, Ahova County and other places. into the sea near the port of Leeds.

It meets the city of Tingen in the southwest corner of the West End and the wharf area in the south of the South End. The Hoy River originates from the York Hills in the north, flows through the University District on the outskirts of the East End, and flows into the Tussock River locally.

These are the two main rivers around Tingen. The others can only be called creeks and do not have a wide water surface.

After listening to Klein's statement, Frye, with pale skin and cold temperament, nodded slightly, agreeing with the other party's thoughts.

In the absence of other clues, investigation is the only effective method!

At this moment, Leonard smiled and said:

"Maybe we can narrow down where the target is."

"How to shrink it?" Klein asked back with a frown while holding a silver pocket watch with arabesques.

Leonard laughed and said:

"For this kind of planned and purposeful criminal, the initial target will definitely be far away from the area where the altar is located, which stems from the instinct of pursuing safety."

"He will not consider the vicinity until there are few 'dying men' left in other areas and the difficulty of finding them increases."

"Therefore, we should look through the data again and screen out the area where the number of deaths was at a normal level in the initial stage, but has been rising rapidly in the past few days."

Klein's eyes lit up when he heard it:

"Excellent reasoning!"

At the same time, he lamented in his heart: "I really don't have the talent to be a detective!"

Frye nodded, picked up the materials placed on the coffee table, and started to read again.

After a few minutes, he said in a deep voice:

"There is indeed such a region, and only one."

"Which district?" Klein blurted out.

Frye handed the thick information to Leonard beside him, pursed his thin lips and said:

"West End."

Is it the West End? Klein shook his fist and immediately proposed:

"Then let's check the southwest corner of the West District first, that area is not big!"

"I agree." Leonard raised the information in his hand, and agreed very easily, as if the person who gave the narrowing opinion just now was not him.

…………

The light two-wheeled carriage drove slowly on the slightly muddy and dirty road, and not far away was a wide river stained with the afterglow of the setting sun.

Klein and Frye looked out from the windows on both sides, inspecting the houses one after another. The focus is on the gray-blue, which means the dilapidated garden. If conditions permit, you can see if the curtains on the first floor are fully covered. be wooed.

Leonard sat leisurely in his original position, with his back against the wall, softly humming a local tune.

The dim scenery swept back scene by scene, and out of the corner of Klein's eyes, he suddenly caught sight of a gray-blue two-story building.

In front of the small building, there is a dilapidated and gloomy garden.

"Found it!" Klein said in a low voice.

Before he finished speaking, Frye and Leonard squeezed over at the same time,

Looking into the distance, it seems that there is no gap.

As the carriage got closer and closer to the house, the scene of the first floor where the dark curtains were drawn was presented in the eyes of the three night watchers.

There is no need to do divination to confirm, Klein is absolutely sure that this is the house he saw in his dream, and this is where the evil altar is located!

Neither he nor Leonard and Frye stopped the carriage immediately, allowing the driver to continue to drive forward, passing the target, far away from the target, as if passing by.

When he turned around and could no longer see the building, Leonard called to the coachman to stop the carriage.

"Klein, take this carriage back to Zouterland Street and replace the captain to help." Leonard snapped his fingers and looked at his teammates with a smile on his face.

Does this mean that I, a rookie, shouldn't be involved in such a dangerous thing? This guy is not bad... Klein was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood what Leonard meant.

Frye nodded in agreement and said:

"You have just practiced fighting, and it is an auxiliary occupation."

"I know, and the guy who can cause so many deaths to hold the ceremony is definitely not easy to deal with. Only the captain can make things less scary..." Klein took a breath and agreed rationally.

Then, he looked at Leonard, then at Frye, squeezed out a smile and said:

"You guys have to be careful."

"Don't worry, I cherish my life very much. Before the captain arrives, we will only monitor and will not approach." Leonard chuckled lightly.

Frye said nothing, just picked up the suitcase.

Klein was silent for a few seconds, then took out a copper penny and said:

"I will do a divination for you."

He silently said "Things here will have a good result", and popped up the coin while his eyes darkened.

when!

The coin turned up, rolled and fell, and firmly stuck to Klein's palm.

Klein opened his eyes and saw that the head of the king was facing upwards, he was immediately relieved.

"This is just a vague symbol, and there are other interpretations. The most important thing is always to be careful and prudent." He said to Frye and Leonard in the way of a fortuneteller.

Leonard turned around a long time ago, and jumped out of the carriage while waving his hands when he heard the words:

"Like my eighty-year-old grandma..."

Frye nodded seriously, and walked down with the suitcase.

Watching the two teammates go to the target house, Klein touched the revolver in the gun pocket under his arm, and said to the driver:

"Zouterand Street."

The time-hired coachman had no objection and let the horses go again.

…………

36 Zouterand Street.

When Klein entered the Blackthorn Security Company, Roseanne, Mrs. Orianna and the others had already left work, and the place became extremely deserted and dim.

Dunn, who was wearing a black windbreaker, was sitting on the sofa in the reception area, without lighting the gas lamp, as if he had blended into the lightless area.

"Found a clue?" He said in a mellow voice, which startled Klein, who was watching where the captain was.

Klein quickly turned around, looked at Dunn's gray eyes and said:

"Yes, is us……"

He quickly recounted Leonard's "bold guess", his own divination confirmation, and the subsequent field investigation.

As for Leonard's confidence, as for the specialness he explained, it is naturally unimportant.

Dunn interrupted from time to time to ask a question, and when it was over, he stood up abruptly and walked towards the door.

"Almost forgot, you stay here to prevent accidents." When he was about to go downstairs, he turned around and reminded.

"Okay." Klein nodded solemnly.

At this moment, except for Kenli who was guarding the Chanis gate, the other nighthawks were busy outside.

Dunn Smith pedaled down a few flights of stairs, then stopped suddenly, and said to Klein at the door while wearing his hat:

"You lock the door, follow me over, heh, this is not for you to participate in the battle, one is to feel the atmosphere, and the other is that you may need the assistance of ritual magic during the final search and inspection. Remember, before the matter is over, you Must be at least fifty meters away from us, and absolutely not near that house!"

Klein was taken aback for a moment, nodded vigorously and said:

"OK!"

…………

The sun was well below the horizon, and the rushing Tussok River was deep and dark.

Dark clouds covered the crimson moon, making the gray-blue house on the second floor look like a monster hiding in the shadows.

The garden in front of the small building was extremely quiet, there was no sound, and it seemed that there were no reptiles or life.

Klein watched such a scene, his palms were sweating, and his body was trembling.

He felt that countless terrible things were hiding there, waiting, waiting for a bloody feast.

Under his gaze, Dunn, Leonard, and Frye, who had almost merged into the darkness, cautiously approached the target building.

…………

On the second floor of the gray-blue house, there is an unlit bedroom.

A gentle and sweet young girl with a round face is sitting in front of the dressing table, studying the "complex" skin care science under the dim starlight.

Next to her right hand is a silver mirror, the surface of which is so rough that it can hardly reflect people.

Suddenly, a bloody trace appeared on the silver mirror.

The gentle and sweet Triss' expression immediately darkened, she stood up, walked to the window, and looked out in silence.
