Lord of the Mysteries

Chapter 163 All Kinds of Signs

What? Klein was stunned by Roseanne's question, and recalled in a daze:

"When I went to Old Neil's house, last month, I found a piano in the living room. He told me that his deceased wife liked music very much..."

As he spoke, Klein was taken aback, and somehow had some bad thoughts.

Roseanne frowned her pretty eyebrows, and said uncertainly:

"Maybe my memory is wrong...No, in the first half of the year, Mrs. Orianna and I often visited Old Neil's house. At that time, there was no piano in the living room. I clearly remember asking him why he kept Remaining single, his answer was that he hadn't met the lady that made him want to marry..."

There was no piano in the first half of the year... Still answering the question of why he remained single... Klein tensed his body and asked in a deep voice, "Rosanne, how long has it been since you visited Old Neil's house?"

"Since Kernli became a Nighthawk, Viola chose to leave here and no longer be a civil servant. I'm either staying up all night or trying to catch up on sleep. I don't have time to visit other people's houses... Well, it will start in early June." Luo Shan I was a little confused when I was asked, so I could only answer honestly.

Klein heard his heart sinking gradually, as if he had a premonition of something.

He hurriedly took out a halfpenny coin from his pocket and held it between his thumb and middle finger.

Taking a deep breath, Klein deliberated and quickly finalized the "divination statement".

"Old Neil's current situation is wrong."

"Old Neil's current situation is wrong."

...

While meditating silently, his eyes quickly turned black, and his whole body entered a state of meditation.

Zheng!

With a flick of his thumb, the brass-colored penny flew into the air, rolling and spinning continuously.

Snapped! The coin fell and landed on Klein's open palm.

This time, George III's head is facing upwards.

And the avatar said it was correct, which means yes.

This means that Old Neil's current situation is indeed wrong!

Klein held the coin,

Suddenly, he remembered the time when he was just promoted, he quickly grasped the spirit vision, and saw a pair of almost transparent, unusually indifferent, eyelashless, weird and illusory eyes behind Old Neil.

His explanation at the time was that it was a sign of a ritual magic residue!

By the way, I also saw a nearly invisible figure in the shadow of the door, the color of his aura was exactly the same as the surrounding dim environment... Also, the time I completely digested the "Seer" potion, I secretly The switch of the spirit vision was changed to a light click of the teeth. After that, I tried it and looked at Old Neil casually. As a result, he suddenly coughed violently, and the cough was heart-piercing... Scenes and scenes flashed in Klein's mind. His expression became more serious.

Rosanne glanced at him, and asked fearfully and fearfully:

"Old Neil won't get out of control, right? No, although he's stingy and stingy, and wants to get reimbursed for everything, he's actually a good person, and he rarely gets really angry. No, he won't get out of control..."

"I can't be sure, but I think Old Neil is just close to losing control." Klein comforted Roseanne, quickly walked through the partition, and pushed open the door of the captain's office.

Dunn Smith was drinking coffee when he was startled by the sudden intruder and almost choked himself.

"What happened?" He didn't blame Klein, his expression became very serious.

Klein replied quite succinctly but without any concealment:

"Captain, I guessed that Old Neil's condition is wrong."

"Last month Neil Sr. told me his late wife liked music, but today Rosanne said he was single."

"Also, the day I became a Extraordinary, I saw a pair of illusory and strange eyes watching everything behind Old Neil, and a nearly transparent figure peeking at the door. He told me that this was a sign of ritual magic residue."

"I didn't feel right, so I tried divination."

Dunn listened with a serious face, stood up, walked towards the coat rack, and asked doubtfully:

"Why don't you directly divine whether Old Neil is out of control?"

"Over the past month, Old Neil has behaved no differently from a normal Extraordinary. He even joined hands with me to help Swain eliminate a Punisher who was out of control. I have also observed his aura several times with my spiritual vision. Color, I found that he is relatively healthy, but a little old, so I think he is just getting out of control, showing certain signs, and there is still room for recovery." Klein expressed his point of view in one breath.

Dunn put on a black top hat and a knee-length windbreaker, nodded slightly and said:

"It's a very reasonable speculation... Let's go visit Old Neil now, um, try to avoid irritating him."

"Then, try to control him, use ritual magic to stabilize his state, and curb his deterioration."

Control... When Klein heard this word, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said:

"Captain, can we use the sealed item '3-0611'?"

He had been thinking about how to solve the old Neil's matter just now, and wanted to save him as much as possible, but because he was too flustered, too restless, and too worried, he couldn't find a clue until he was awakened by Dunn Smith's words. I remembered that there was such a sealed item that could come in handy:

"Number: 0611."

"Name: Quiet Hair."

"Danger level: '3', there is a certain degree of danger, use with caution, only three or more actions can apply."

"Confidentiality level: Full member of the Nighthawks and above."

"Sealing method: no direct contact with living creatures."

"Description: This is a simple ornament made of many long dark black hairs intertwined."

"When exposed to it without protection, all living creatures lose all desires and emotions, including but not limited to hunger, anger, sadness, pain, jealousy, envy, hatred, happiness, contentment, and greed."

"It has been confirmed that even the desire to disengage from 0611 will disappear in the affected creatures, and they will stay in place quietly until the end of their lives."

"If there is an external force to separate the affected person from 0611, the former will gradually return to normal, but the experimental data shows that the condition for all this to be true is that the contact time does not exceed two hours."

"Once the contact time exceeds two hours, the affected person will be silenced forever."

"The highest level of experimental subjects is Sequence 5.

"Direct contact can be avoided by wearing gloves and so on."

"These strands of hair do not have the characteristics of being alive, and there is no tendency to try to escape the seal."

"Addendum: These strands of hair appeared in an incident of failure in promotion, and are relics of a certain Nighthawk captain who failed to enter Sequence 6."

Hearing Klein's words, Dunn nodded with gray eyes:

"A very good proposal. I almost forgot '3-0611'. You go to the recreation room to find Luo Yao. I will take out the sealed item after going to Chanis Gate, and I will apply again when I come back."

That's it, don't waste your time! Klein didn't delay, and immediately came to the Nighthawks entertainment room, and called out the "sleepless" Luo Yao who had little expression.

"What is the mission?" Luo Yao, whose black hair was as smooth as satin, asked calmly.

Klein exhaled, and replied slightly heavily:

"Visit Old Neil."

"Visit Old Neil... him?" Luo Yao's eyes widened suddenly, and he had a bad guess.

"Not sure yet." Klein nodded slightly.

Luo Yao didn't speak any more, and the two fell into silence at the same time, as if something was condensing and becoming heavy in the surrounding air.

After a few minutes like this, Dunn finally returned from the ground.

He was wearing black gloves and clutching a tangle of jet-black hair.

Compared with the "Mutated Sun Sacred Emblem", "Quiet Hair" has no obvious external abnormalities. If it falls on the road, it will be easily overlooked.

After calling the coachman César, a group of four embarked on the journey to Old Neil's house.

The wheels rolled over the muddy road that had just rained, and the interior of the car was even quieter than midnight.

After an unknown amount of time, Dunn sighed and said:

"Old Neil actually had a lover who was about to be engaged when he was young, but she suddenly fell seriously ill and was difficult to treat. Old Neil tried to save her with ritual magic at the risk of leaking the secrets of the Extraordinary, but he still failed. If you can succeed, the old Neil at that time was just getting started in the field of mysticism."

"According to the records, the Nighthawks at that time were all wary that Old Neil would lose control because of this. Fortunately, he finally regained his sanity and showed no abnormalities."

I hope this time is also a false alarm... Klein couldn't help drawing a crimson moon on his chest, and prayed in a low voice:

"May the Goddess bless him."

Dunn and Luo Yao also followed suit:

"May the Goddess bless him."

…………

The sky gradually brightened, the dark clouds completely subsided, and the carriage of the Nighthawks team stopped in front of Old Neil's single-family house.

After letting César drive the carriage to hide in the distance, Dunn restrained his emotions, holding a stick in one hand and the sealed item "3-0611" in the other, and walked towards the main entrance with dark gray eyes.

Klein lowered his half-height silk top hat, and together with Luo Yao, followed the captain through the garden planted with roses and gold mint.

After arriving at the door, Klein took a step forward and pulled the rope connected to the bell inside the house.

Jingle!

The crisp and melodious bell echoed in the room, breaking the stillness.

Jingle! Jingle! Klein pulled it a few times in a row, retreated politely, and didn't try again.

The three Nighthawks waited patiently for a few minutes, but they never heard the sound of anyone coming to open the door.

"Perhaps, Old Neil went to see a doctor and is not at home." Klein forced a smile and said.

Before he finished speaking, a melodious melody suddenly came from the room. It was a beautiful movement played by the piano, and it was like a peaceful lake covered with a layer of veil and mist under the moonlight.

Dunn's expression suddenly became extremely serious and dignified, and Klein's heart sank to the bottom.

He was about to do a divination when he suddenly saw a stream of water gushing out from the gap under the main door.

The water flow was transparent and pure at first, and then it was dyed crimson, blood-like crimson, and extremely rich crimson.
