Chapter 127
The light penetrating the glass illuminated the detention center outside the armory. Old Neil finished reading the newspaper, took a sip of coffee, looked up at Klein and said:
"How do you feel now? Calm down? Or need a glass of wine, an early paycheck, a leisurely day off?"
At this moment, Klein, who had completely digested the "Seer" potion, was trying to use meditation to change the "switch" of Spirit Vision, making it less conspicuous.
Today, he no longer relies on stimulating specific parts to activate his spiritual vision, so he can use more secretive methods to achieve the goal, such as quickly pinching the two joints of the middle finger with the thumb once, or tapping the left tooth twice in a row.
Considering that sometimes he has to hold a gun and a staff in one hand, but must use Spirit Vision, Klein finally chose the method of tapping his teeth, opening on the left and closing on the right.
Constantly hinting, after making the change, he opened his eyes, smiled and said:
"I'm just too concerned about the captain's actions, and I don't need to calm down."
At the same time, he tapped his left teeth twice, trying to open his spirit vision, so as to get familiar with this method as soon as possible.
Cough cough cough! Old Neil suddenly coughed violently, his face flushed like a boiled lobster.
"What's the matter?" Klein was startled for a moment, and asked with concern.
He carefully inspected Old Neil's aura, and found that the other's healthy color was fairly normal, but because of his age, he was relatively weak.
Old Neil coughed for more than ten seconds before he calmed down. He reached out to pick up the coffee, slowly sipped and said, "When everyone makes mistakes, cough, I just choked on my own saliva...then Are we starting today's occult class?"
"Okay." Klein tapped his right teeth almost silently twice.
He digested the "Seer" potion one to two weeks earlier than expected, which made him both happy and troubled. Needless to say, he was happy, getting rid of the hidden danger of losing control, getting promoted soon, and mastering more extraordinary abilities, which is enough for anyone Feeling happy and excited, the trouble is that it disrupts his arrangements and plans.
Considering that he will stay in the Night Squad in Tingen City for a long time, Klein thinks that quietly becoming a "clown" is not a good choice. He will always be worried about being exposed, and he will not dare to use the corresponding ability in tasks that require cooperation. Put yourself in greater danger.
His plan is to imitate the "psychic" Daly, submit a special application to the high-level, exchange the accumulated meritorious service for formulas and extraordinary material rewards, and become a nighthawk of Sequence 8 openly.
However, there is an essential difference between "mastering" potions for one month and mastering potions for one year. Klein can bear a certain amount of attention from the Holy Church and is willing to be a key training target, but he absolutely does not want to attract high suspicion from the upper echelon. He must Find a convincing reason for your state.
His original arrangement was to seize the period when the "Seer" potion had not been fully digested, and gradually make some preparations for the captain, such as mentioning that he felt spiritually lively every time he went to the divination club, such as pretending to describe it casually. The "Seer's Rules" summed up from helping people with fortune-telling again and again, for example, it is said in advance that there have been basically no cases of hearing sounds that should not be heard, and seeing things that should not be seen.
In this way, the higher-ups of the Nighthawks would think that he unconsciously imitated Daly when completing the "task", and did it more thoroughly.
And this will allow them to focus on summarizing the rules and exploring in the direction of "acting", greatly reducing their suspicion of Klein and only doing routine reviews.
Well, I can also use this to remind the captain and help him discover the "acting method"... Klein silently added in his heart, for him, Dunn Smith is a very good captain, except for his poor memory, there is nothing serious about it Shortcomings, so I hope to reduce the hidden danger of him losing control and make him stronger.
Of course, Klein can also choose to wait for a year before submitting a special application,
That would not require taking a little risk, but the continuous coincidences and the red chimney seen in the dream divination made him have to improve himself as soon as possible.
"In the next two weeks, I will spend three to four preparations with the captain, and then formally submit an application...At the same time, you can also go to the underground trading market to see if there are corresponding extraordinary materials...It should be very expensive..." Klein quickly After making a decision, he turned his attention back to the occult studies.
Time passed by every minute and every second, and the beautiful lunch time came slowly. Old Neil finished his cup of coffee, cleaned up the sundries on the table, and said with a smile:
"Your occult course is coming to an end, judging from the attempt just now, you can make spells for yourself."
"This is exactly my plan for the next few days." Klein let out a sigh of satisfaction.
The charm is different from the amulets he gave to his brother Benson and his sister Melissa before. It must be inscribed with the help of rituals. It has certain special abilities and can be used in fierce battles.
But low-level spells are also not omnipotent, their spirituality will continue to decline, and they must be "crafted" every two weeks, and they also need specific spells to be activated, so they cannot be used immediately.
In addition, the spells that the Nighthawks can master are limited to the "field" of the Evernight Goddess. Currently, there are only three types that Klein can make. One is the "Sleep Charm", which has effects similar to those of Dunn Smith and Leonard Smith. Mitchell's chanting that makes people sleep peacefully, one is "Requiem Charm", which can appease ghosts, shadows, zombies and water ghosts, and deal with resentful spirits and evil spirits to a certain extent, and one is "Dream Charm", which can Helps the caster enter the dream of the target.
These effects overlap with the "Midnight Poet" and "Nightmare" abilities of the "Sleepless" sequence, so Dunn, Leonard and others hardly use spells, but "Corpse Collector" Frye and "Sleepless" Luo Yao, Ken Li I carry a dollar or two with me, but it won't be useful for a long time, and I have to ask Old Neil to "recharge" from time to time.
At this time, Old Neil glanced at Klein, smiled and said:
"I remember that you have practiced too frequently this month, and the material quota is gone. Are you planning to go to the underground trading market?"
Klein was taken aback for a moment, then nodded distressedly:
"Yes."
He knows the price of those materials, he only hopes to succeed once, not to waste...
After shouldering the task of delivering the lunch underground, Klein put on his coat and hat, grabbed his cane, and returned to the Blackthorn Security Company on the second floor.
When passing by the entertainment room, he saw Leonard and the others had returned and were eating.
Boom boom boom! He knocked on the door of the captain's office.
"Please come in." Dunn's mellow voice came out.
Klein pushed the door open, took off his hat and said:
"Captain, have you caught Triss the Instigator?"
Dunn squeezed his temples, shook his head a little tiredly, and said, "We didn't find her at Tingen Station, but according to the telegram from Backlund, some passengers saw her in the first-class carriage of the earliest train, unfortunately. Yes, she got out of the car halfway."
"What a pity." Klein sighed psychologically, "Divination is not omnipotent..."
Dunn swept his gray eyes and said:
"You don't need to be depressed, the Extraordinary of Sequence 7 is not so easy to be caught, at least we destroyed Triss's evil ritual and saved the lives of at least forty innocent people, and we also have her current status The situation prevented her from committing crimes like before."
"If she still wants to do similar things, she may be noticed, discovered, and reported at any time. Sooner or later, she will be found and caught by our Nighthawks, Punishers, and Mechanical Heart. Of course, it is more likely that kill."
"I hope so, may the goddess bless you." Klein drew a crimson moon on his chest.
Immediately afterwards, he paused, deliberating his words and said:
"Captain, I haven't heard anything I shouldn't have heard or seen things I shouldn't have seen for more than a week, and this is still the case when I often meditate and use spiritual vision."
"Huh?" Dunn frowned suspiciously.
Klein immediately added:
"I feel that I am not far away from fully mastering the 'Seer' potion, and this may have something to do with my frequent visits to divination clubs to help people with divination."
"...Why do you have such an idea?" Dunn changed his sitting position, showing a confused expression.
Klein deliberately replied unfluently: "Every time I go, every time I go to the divination club, I feel that my spirituality has become more lively, and every time I help people with divination, my body, mind, and spirit will feel more relaxed. Out of this came a set of, um, a set of 'Seer's Rules', and strictly followed them, just like the Mystic's 'Do as you please, but do no harm', oh, I was inspired by this motto, Trying, imitating, to formulate the fortune-teller's motto."
"I think this may be an effective way to help Extraordinary master the potion as soon as possible and reduce loss of control, just like Ms. Daly, she has been working as a 'psychic'."
Dunn did not know when he took out the pipe, put it on his nose and sniffed it lightly. He seemed to have forgotten about Klein, and he pondered for a few minutes before opening his mouth and saying:
"Good conjecture, interesting attempt..."
Klein's purpose this time was just to click and lay the groundwork, so he didn't mention any more, and instead said half-jokingly and half-vaccinated: "Maybe I will become the member who masters the Sequence 9 potion the fastest in the history of the Nighthawks." .”
"May the goddess bless you." Dunn smiled and blessed without taking it too seriously, and then fell into thinking again.
Seeing this, Klein got up to say goodbye and exited the captain's office.
While helping to cover the door, he suddenly thought of another problem, that is how to act as a "clown"!
You won't let me join the circus, will you? Moreover, there is no fixed circus in Tingen City, they are all the ones with touring performances... Klein's expression suddenly became bitter.
Being a fortune-teller is quite qualified, even if you are met by acquaintances, you can hold your head up. If you want to be a "clown", there is no dignity at all!
Maybe, maybe there is another way to act. When the Blasphemy Slate was born, there were no circuses, no clowns... Forget it, there are still two or three weeks to get a chance to be promoted, so don't rush to think about this issue... Klein is evasive He walked slowly to the sofa area of the reception hall, to Roseanne, Mrs. Orianna, Brett and the others, and to the lunch that belonged to him and Old Neil.
