Chapter 162 "Cthulhu"'s Showmanship
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5...It seems to have twelve pairs of wings...According to the descriptions in the classics of the major churches, this is the highest-ranking angel..." Fors tried hard to recall what she saw when she was half asleep and half awake. The picture is shocking but not so shocking, as if encountering a shocking event that one takes for granted but has never encountered before.
It is not surprising that Mister Fool is served by angels. From Miss Justice and Mister Hanged Man's occasional use of "Him" to refer to him, one can imagine that from the fact that He can isolate the influence of the full moon's ravings, It can be inferred... But, my request is only to interfere with Mr. Lawrence's divination, and he actually let the angel bless me directly. This, isn't this too extravagant? Or was it routine for him?
Well, there is another question, why are the feathers on angel wings black? Does this signify the fall, or death? What is the true identity of Mister Fool? Which great existence is it? The rumored "Reaper" who fell in the "Pale Age"? He wants to resurrect himself through the Tarot Gathering? Fors suddenly took a breath, completely no longer worried that Mr. Lawrence would use divination to find out that there was something wrong with him.
Thinking that she had already joined the Tarot Society, she smiled wryly, and whispered silently:
"It can only be like what Emperor Roselle said, take one step, see one step..."
Concentrating her thoughts, Fors once again humbly thanked Mr. "Fool", and then extinguished the flames of the three candles according to the normal procedure of the ceremony, and then disposed of the altar filled with various items.
…………
Above the gray fog, Klein temporarily put the matter of the Abraham family behind him.
According to the original plan, he manifested a pen and paper and wrote the next divination statement:
"Daisy's current situation."
After putting away the pen, Klein stacked Daisy's word book and the paper on which the divination statements were written, and held it in his left hand.
Then, leaning against the back of the chair, he entered a state of meditation, and silently recited "Daisy's current situation" over and over again.
After a full seven times, Klein fell asleep, and his eyes were dark and red at first, and then gray.
A picture after another flashed, some were coherent, some jumped, and some were illogical.
Klein saw the youngest daughter of the laundry worker Liv, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl who was repeatedly scalded by steam but insisted on ironing her clothes, was covered by a handkerchief from behind by a man wearing a heavy jacket and a gray-black peaked cap. , Forcibly dragged into a fork in a remote alley.
Another man in the same attire took her legs,
Together with his companions, he lifted her up and walked quickly.
Their goal was the carriage parked outside the alley.
The whole process ended in less than two minutes, and by the time Daisy's sister, Freya, turned around to find this place, the carriage had already left.
...
In the carriage, a dazed Daisy was pressed against her face by a cold and sharp dagger, and dirty threatening words were heard in her ears.
...
The carriage drove into Cappin's luxurious villa.
...
Daisy was in a small and dark room, and women's cries, screams and curses echoed from time to time outside.
...
Daisy woke up and shouted for help, but was knocked over by someone opening the door, and was so painful that she couldn't stand up.
She shed tears and kept whispering words such as "Mom" and "Freya".
…………
Klein opened his eyes, and found that the paper held in his left palm was pinched tightly by himself and crumpled into a ball at some point.
He had established that Capin was behind many of the disappearances of teenage girls, that he was the leader of a crime syndicate.
But the problem is that this kind of case should not and cannot involve too much extraordinary power. At most, there are a few Sequence 7, Sequence 8, and Sequence 9 who are greedy for money to help. Intuitive sense of intense danger.
Could it be that Kapin himself is a Sequence 6, or even a Sequence 5 Extraordinary? But it is not difficult for extraordinary people at this level to make money. There is no need to do such dirty and cumbersome things. It is simpler and easier than this to directly recruit various gangsters and collect protection fees one by one, and it will not be dirty. own hands... Is there any conspiracy hidden in Kapin's human trafficking? While thinking about it, Klein used the power of the gray fog to restore Daisy's glossary to an even level.
After a few seconds of silence, he manifested a piece of parchment again and wrote a new divination statement:
"Saving Daisy is a dangerous business."
After carefully reading it twice, Klein took off the pendulum on his left wrist and let the citrine pendant hang down on the paper, almost touching the line of words.
After calming down for a few seconds, he closed his eyes and silently recited the divination statement he had just written.
When the sound stopped, Klein opened his eyes and looked at the pendulum in his left hand.
The citrine pendant is turning clockwise, at a very fast speed and with a large range!
This is affirmative, and it means that saving Daisy is a very dangerous thing to do!
But it's not completely hopeless, there is still a lot of possibility, a lot of opportunity, as long as we can grasp it... Klein interpreted the enlightenment given by the "Pendulum Method".
He leaned back on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and laughed at himself:
"Aren't you looking for an opportunity to take the initiative to perform?
"This is!
"As a magician, you still have to challenge some difficult things after all, otherwise you should be called a master of tricks, not a magician.
"Achieving seemingly impossible things, even if the result is false, this is the image of a magician in my heart. As for whether it is one of the rules, it remains to be confirmed..."
Klein tapped the edge of the ancient long table with his fingers and quickly made a decision.
The most difficult thing for him to save Daisy and deal with Capin is that he doesn't know the other party at all, and he doesn't know how many Extraordinary people are in that villa, which path and which sequence they belong to.
This prevented Klein from making targeted preparations.
And for "magicians", the first rule is, "Don't do unprepared performances"!
——Many seemingly impromptu performances actually have certain preparations, such as long-term technique practice, such as a deep grasp of drawing attention.
"In the name of the favored one, ask Miss Justice to help inquire about Kapin's background?" Klein seriously considered a solution to the problem.
But he quickly rejected this idea:
"No, I can't get detailed information. Although Capin is a rich man who is involved with many big figures, he has never been on the stage. At most, Miss Justice can find out which nobles, congressmen, and government employees he has a lot of relationships with. , but he couldn't figure out how many Extraordinary people were in his villa, what traps he had set up, and what the layout was like...
"Following the clues of these relationships, Miss 'Justice' may be able to find out what I want to know in a few weeks, but this is too slow. Saving people is like putting out a fire, and tragedy will happen if there is a delay."
Klein glanced over the surface of the long bronze table, and the corner where sundries were piled up, and gradually formed an idea in his heart:
"On the one hand, let Ms. Magician and her friend, Ms. Hugh, investigate Capin's background and find out which Extraordinary people he is involved with. They are in the East District, in many gangs, and in many Extraordinary circles. They have good connections. On the other hand, I do it myself and get the information I want from the servants or bodyguards who come out of Capin's villa, using the 'psychic' method."
After finalizing the plan, Klein was not in a hurry to ask Miss "Magician" to help, and decided to try it himself first, so that he could ask her to inquire about certain things in a targeted manner.
In an instant, his figure disappeared in the majestic palace above the gray mist.
…………
After lunch, a man wearing a gray and black peaked cap and a thick cotton coat carefully left from the back door of Kapin Villa, walked all the way to the intersection, and got into a taxi.
"East District." He touched the dark red birthmark on his face and instructed the driver.
The carriage started to drive, and the man looked out the window boredly, admiring the beautiful ladies and ladies in the street.
"It would be great if I could kidnap them..." The man thought about it, showing a regretful expression.
After leaving Iris Street, he suddenly trembled, and his eyes became slightly demented.
He knocked on the wall of the compartment and said to the coachman:
"Stop, stop! I forgot something, and I'll stop here."
The coachman didn't dare to reprimand the vicious man, he parked the carriage on the side of the street without even murmuring, and let him get off.
After paying the 6p fare, the man backed up dozens of meters and entered a cheap hotel.
No need for identification, he paid for a room.
After entering, he just concealed the door of the house and did not lock it.
Immediately, the man sat on the edge of the bed expressionlessly, and a transparent and illusory figure suddenly separated from his body!
This is Klein dressed as a worker!
Using his own way of summoning himself, he turned into a spirit body and attached himself to this man, allowing him to walk to a convenient place for "psychic communication"!
After knocking out the man, the spirit-like Klein disappeared into the room. Not long after, the door was pushed open, and he came back in with solid flesh and blood.
Sealing this place with a spiritual wall, Klein quickly arranged a "psychic" ceremony, allowing the charming smell of "Amanda" hydrosol and "spiritual eye" potion to waft around.
Get ready, he was about to start "psychic communication", when he suddenly let out a cry of surprise and stopped.
He discovered that the spiritual body of the man unconscious on the bed was restricted by mysterious unknowns. If he forcibly "channeled", although there was a high probability of success, he would touch the mark and let a certain extraordinary person notice it!
This will scare the snake away!
Very strange extraordinary ability... Very cautious, very careful... The matter involved in Kapin is really not simple... Klein walked a few steps, frowning slightly.
He glanced at the unconscious man, and suddenly let out a hey:
"You think you can stop me like this?"
He quickly interrupted the psychic ritual, summoned himself again, and responded to himself.
A few seconds later, he flew out of the candle flame in the shape of a spirit, and floated in the room again.
Without any hesitation, the spirit-like Klein suddenly stepped forward and possessed the unconscious man.
The man suddenly turned over and sat up, opened his eyes, his expression was quite dull.
He stood up straight, walked to the front of the altar step by step, and then recited in a low voice:
"A fool who does not belong to this era;"
"You are the mysterious ruler above the gray mist;"
"You are the Yellow and Black King of Good Luck."
