Chapter 231 Confession

A similar feeling is no stranger. The experienced Klein immediately used the ability of "Joker" to control the expression on his face and the slight trembling of his body.

He retracted his gaze softly but not hastily, so that the casual glance just now did not reveal too much abnormality.

"Hey, Talim is so young, he's not even married and has no children." Klein sighed.

The reason why he said this is because this sentence can give him a reasonable explanation for his subtle reaction when he saw the woman offering flowers: from the woman who has a certain relationship with Talim to the marriage and family situation of the other party, and to friends He died young, so he was overwhelmed with grief.

"Yes, in fact, at his age, he should have gotten married four or five years ago. Unfortunately, the incident with his grandfather left him with a very strong psychological shadow, and he has always rejected marriage. It didn't get better until recently." Reporter Mike echoed with a sigh.

At this time, Klein, who seemed to be normal, seemed to have clumps of thorns deeply and slowly inserting into his skin and flesh, making his spirit extremely tense.

The woman in the black dress with the sapphire ring on the little finger of her left hand straightened her body, looked around calmly, and then, accompanied by two maids, quietly left Talim's tomb and walked away into the distance.

Phew... Klein silently let out a sigh of relief.

The feeling of being stabbed on his back quickly turned into cold sweat.

Who is she and why did she come to lay flowers at the grave? Talim's lover? However, how could Talim, who has no wealth, no status, no status, have a relationship with a terrifying person involving a "0" level sealed item or a demigod of the same level? This is not a novel! Moreover, she should have used the curse to kill Talim... The water behind it was so deep... Klein listened calmly to reporter Mike and surgeon Alan telling Talim's past.

He quickly spread his thoughts away, and felt that the most confusing point about this matter was:

It is unbelievable that the death of an ordinary person with no money, status, status, or strength would involve a "0"-level sealed item or a strong person of the same level!

But this is not an isolated case. There are other similar incidents around me... Klein suddenly thought of it, and looked at surgeon Alan:

This ordinary person's home probably hides a Sequence 1 "Mercury Snake"!

Following this line of thought, Klein recalled the past five months, and was shocked to find that he was actually involved with many demigods and terrifying sealed items without knowing it.

The woman who killed Talim just now, "Mercury Snake" Will Auceptin, "The Blasphemer" Amon, the mysterious woman in the Kingdom Museum, a high-sequence powerhouse of the Rose School of Thought, "0-08 ", "1-42", Ince Zangwill, Mutated Sun Sacred Emblem, Antigonus Family Notes, Mr. Azik Eggers, who is suspected to be a descendant of the God of Death, Mr. "Gate", Twilight Hermit Society ...One name after another flashed in Klein's mind, and every time he counted one, he wanted to gasp.

He sank his mind and thought carefully:

"This is not counting the 'True Creator' and 'Eternal Blazing Sun' who rank above these... Strictly speaking, I can also be included in this rank. After all, I came from black divination and mastered the strange gray fog. The soul of another world... Could it be that this is the cusp of another era after Roselle, that's why demigods and terrifying Sealed Artifacts will enter real life one after another..."

As Klein's thoughts flickered, the reporter Mike and the surgeon Alan left the cemetery one after another with a sad heart.

Just as he was looking around for a rental carriage, a familiar carriage drove out from a hidden place and stopped in front of him.

Although the coat of arms on the black carriage was skillfully concealed, Klein still recognized at a glance that it was Prince Edsac's carriage.

Without a sound, the car door opened, and the meticulously combed old housekeeper came down, and politely made a gesture of invitation:

"His Royal Highness is waiting for you.

"

"Okay." Klein didn't feel guilty at all, and entered the spacious and warm compartment.

Prince Edsack was wearing a dark blue coat with a large collar and a golden ribbon-like outfit on the chest, which made him look extremely dignified.

He stroked the diamond collar pin, his narrow eyes sighed a bit:

"Even attending my friend's funeral, I was restricted. I couldn't be there directly, I could only watch from a distance, and I could only send someone to present flowers for me. This is the lack of freedom of the royal family."

"If Talim's grandfather didn't lose his title, you shouldn't have to avoid anything." Klein followed Prince Edesak's gesture and sat across from him.

Edsac picked up the blood-red Ormere wine and said:

"Hey, I originally planned to find an opportunity to help Talim's father recover a certain title, but unfortunately..."

He delved into the subject and asked instead:

"Sherlock, did you get that package?"

"Yes." Klein asked and answered, never giving too much description.

Edsack nodded lightly and said:

"Any progress?"

"I used Talim's hair, flesh, and belongings to do divination several times, but the conclusions I got were that he died of a sudden heart attack." Klein crazily hinted with a smooth and emotionless narrative, "I sequence Not high", "My level is limited", "Although I am good at divination, but the opponent is stronger", "I will definitely not be able to investigate the truth", etc.

Edsack showed an expression of disappointment that could not be concealed, and sighed:

"How do you plan to investigate afterwards?"

"Start with the people and places Talim came into contact with a few days before his death." Klein replied according to the plan.

Edsack glanced at the old housekeeper:

"This will definitely require coercion, interrogation and bribery, um...give Sherlock 100 pounds for investigation funds."

"Yes, Your Highness." The old butler took out a stack of banknotes that he had prepared a long time ago from his pocket.

Directly give 100 pounds as funding? Klein once again felt the generosity of Prince Edsaac.

"I will work hard to investigate." He took the 100 pounds in cash and put it in his pocket without counting it.

"Hope we can rest Talim in peace." Prince Edesak clenched his right fist and tapped his left chest lightly.

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked out of the window, towards the Crown Cemetery not far away.

He still has some affection for Talim... Klein sighed secretly, and was led out of the carriage by the old butler.

…………

Queens, in the luxury villa of Earl Hall's family.

Audrey looked at Escalante, a psychology teacher with waist-length hair in front of her, and looked around cautiously.

She then lowered her voice and said:

"Teacher Escalante, I recently attended a new Extraordinary party, and some people in it were buying the characteristics of the human-skinned phantom and the formula of the 'Wind Blessed' potion at a high price. Well, different people, these should all be Chinese. Sequential things, right? Sounds interesting, ah yes, are you interested?"

Islant was stunned for a moment, pondered for a few seconds and said:

"I'll go back and ask."

"Okay." Audrey responded briskly, as if she simply found similar mid-sequence transactions interesting.

Islant withdrew his attention and said seriously:

"Miss Audrey, although you are already a Sequence 8 Extraordinary, you have not received formal education in mysticism, and the many applied skills of 'audience' and 'mind reader', as well as the corresponding theoretical basis are not enough Understand, starting today, I will guide you to gradually become a true Extraordinary."

"This is exactly what I hope." Audrey said sincerely.

Susie, a big golden retriever squatting at her feet, also wagged her tail happily, as if she was happy for her master.

…………

Klein, who made up his mind to be passive and sabotage, took the carriage and returned to No. 15 Minsk Street.

He opened the door and entered the room. Just as he was about to take off his hat, his movements suddenly froze.

His spiritual intuition told him that a stranger had entered the living room, entered the room!

This... hardly concealed... is it a warning? It's better to have a warning than no warning... Klein stood in the hallway, silent for a while.

Immediately, he turned around and went out, taking a rented carriage to the Steam Church.

The church has towering chimneys and bell towers, the former representing the power of steam, and the latter hanging complex clocks, symbolizing the beauty of machinery.

It was not a weekend, nor was it noon or night, and only a few believers were praying quietly in the church hall.

Klein sat down in the aisle, leaned on his cane, took off his hat, and pretended to pray for ten minutes facing the holy emblem at the front.

Then, he took his things, walked along the aisle to the altar, and said to the bishop standing beside him:

"I want to repent."

"Okay, God is watching you." The bishop with a kind face and pale temples walked to the confession room on the side first.

Klein followed closely and closed the door.

He sat on the chair and said to the bishop through the board:

"I repent. In the face of danger, I did not stick to my principles and chose to back down."

"What were you thinking at the time?" the bishop asked softly.

Klein immediately shared Talim's death, his own doubts, the reminder to the "Mechanical Heart", the commission from Prince Edesak, and after the divination failed to obtain the desired answer, facing the strife among the royal family, he spoke from the bottom of his heart. The feeling of shrinking back was described exactly.

The reason why he didn't go directly to Carlson was because he was worried that he would not only be watched by the other side, but also secretly observed by Prince Edesak's people. Once he clearly stated his intention of perfunctory and sabotage, he might encounter another disaster.

And the Church of Steam is the headquarters of the Backlund Diocese of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery. It is one of their three major temples, and no one can peep here.

Klein intends to use the Church of Steam to convey his true thoughts and avoid being involved in deeper conflicts.

Simply put, follow the will of the heart.

After listening quietly, the bishop replied with the same tone:

"Your choice is human instinct, God will not blame you.

"Go back, God will bless you."

That's good... Klein understood the hint and quietly left the Church of Steam.

Standing on the street outside, looking at the misty sky, he sighed silently:

Improve it as soon as possible.
