Chapter 88 Report

"What's the matter?" Benson asked casually.

Melissa looked at her brother seriously, because she felt that Klein's performance tonight was equally weird, only a little better than Elizabeth and later Selena.

Klein had already thought about his rhetoric and said with a smile:

"There is an error in a certain description of a document, and I have told my colleagues to submit it as soon as I arrive at the company tomorrow morning. Therefore, I can either drop by now to amend it, or get up at least half an hour early tomorrow. There is no doubt that I choose the former."

"I've always felt that you weren't paying attention enough to play cards. It turned out that you were thinking about work." Benson suddenly realized, and immediately smiled, "No, I apologize, I should say this, playing cards helps thinking."

"Okay, we'll wait for you." Melissa retracted her gaze and raised her hand to straighten the ruffles of the lower leg of lamb sleeves.

Because the operating hours of the track and trackless public carriages were early, the three brothers and sisters had to hire a rental carriage nearby after they said goodbye and went out. It took 2 soules and 45 minutes.

"I heard that every coachman who rents a carriage will increase the price arbitrarily." Benson complained in a low voice after paying out most of the money he won.

Klein smiled and said:

"I think it's acceptable, it's almost 11 now."

"I'm just joking. My current thinking is that we can actually hire together, and together with other guests, we can go to many places in 45 minutes." Benson looked out the window and said, looking at the people who were hiring carriages one after another.

I understand, carpooling... Klein rubbed the silver pattern on the top of the cane and said:

"We have no problem, but there are other guests, Benson, haven't you noticed? They are all very concerned about their own image, and they are very concerned about the 'decent' thing. I think this may be the commonality of the middle class."

"Yeah." Benson nodded earnestly, "The Wood family is also more luxurious than I imagined. However, Old Wood's salary is only £4 a week... Heh, decency may be the biggest difference between some middle-class people and curly-haired baboons. "

The curly-haired baboon is provoking you... Klein almost couldn't hold back his smile.

Melissa didn't join their discussion. She sat in her seat and glanced at Klein from time to time, making him feel a little nervous.

The light chariot drove swiftly through the quiet, bleak streets, arriving at Zoetland Street in just 12 minutes.

"Wait for me here, five minutes, no more than five minutes, and I'll be back." Klein emphasized again, put on a top hat, grabbed a cane, and got off the carriage.

Since it was time, not distance, the coachman had no problem with waiting.

Going up the stairs, Klein came outside the Blackthorn Security Company and knocked on the door.

In less than ten seconds, the door opened back, and Leonard Mitchell in a vest and shirt appeared in front of him.

"You don't have to be on duty tonight." Leonard emphasized slightly surprised.

Klein only needs to work at Chanis Gate for one day a week, and he can still maintain normal work and rest during the rest of the time. As for emergencies at night, the "sleepless" who like the night will take care of them.

But sleeping only two or three hours a day will cause hair loss and memory loss... Whenever he thinks of these, Klein can't help but mock Captain Dunn Smith.

"I have something to report," he said simply.

"Have a mission?" Leonard gave up his seat at the door and asked casually.

As soon as Klein walked into the reception hall, he saw Dunn coming out in a black trench coat, his gray eyes as deep as ever.

"Captain, I have encountered an extraordinary event."

"The specific situation." Dunn asked directly.

Klein explained what happened before and how he handled himself:

"...So, I think it is necessary to investigate Haines Vancent."

At that time, he thought that since the evil thing invited by "Magic Mirror Divination" had not yet caused a tragedy,

If you haven't given yourself a hint of extreme danger, it means that the other party may still need time and is unwilling to wake up early or control Selena. Therefore, as long as your purpose is not directly exposed, the evil will definitely choose to wait and see. , Under such circumstances, it is not too difficult for Elizabeth to trick Selena to the bedroom door.

"You handled it very well, and seized the opportunity when the evil spirits have not yet come and fully possessed." Dunn nodded lightly, "The next investigation will be handed over to us, and you can go back to rest."

Klein breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"I thought you, captain, would take this as my task of joining the team and let me do it alone."

Judging from the incantation provided by Elizabeth, Haines Vancente is dangerous to a certain extent...

"This is because you already have the task of joining the team." Leonard chuckled lightly beside him.

"What?" Klein was startled.

The corners of Dunn's mouth were upturned, and he explained in a mellow voice:

"At more than seven o'clock in the evening, we received a case transferred from the police station. It was initially confirmed that there was no danger and no urgency, so we plan to let you complete it by yourself tomorrow."

"Okay, don't ask what the case is, get a good night's sleep tonight, and move your rest day to Tuesday or Wednesday."

Captain, you are like this, I can't sleep even more... Besides, Monday afternoon is the date of the Tarot party... Do you want to delay the "message" for "Justice" and "The Hanged Man" in advance? Klein shook his head with a wry smile, and left.

When he got out of the stairs, he suddenly noticed it and looked up at the carriage hired by his family. He saw that Melissa was looking at him quietly through the window.

Eye contact, Melissa turned her head and sat up straight.

The corners of Klein's mouth moved slightly, and he stepped onto the carriage as if nothing had happened.

Under the crimson moon and the pure night sky, the two-wheeled carriage drove briskly and passed through one street after another.

Back home, Klein asked Benson to take a shower first, then he came to the door of Melissa's bedroom, raised his hand and knocked twice.

Melissa, who was about to go to the other bathroom, creaked the door and looked at her brother suspiciously.

"Melissa, is there anything you want to ask? I know, you have." Klein said directly.

Don't always watch in the dark...

Melissa's lips moved a few times, and she frowned slightly and said:

"Klein, what did you do to Elizabeth? I feel something is wrong with her?"

"Also, Selena became very strange later."

Klein asked back in preparation:

"Did you know that Elizabeth and Selena are occult lovers?"

"...I know, but I don't like it. I don't think there is anything in this world that is incomprehensible." Melissa was stunned, and replied seriously, "All the incomprehensions are just because the knowledge we have is still incomprehensible. Not enough."

"Well, I think so too." Klein guiltily agreed.

I used to think so, until I succeeded in dying...

He coughed twice and continued:

"Mysticism includes Hermes, which is a special language for ancient sacrifices and prayers. Elizabeth knows that I am good at this. Oh, after all, this is the field of historians, so I asked me for a few words corresponding to pronunciation and their specific meanings. ."

Melissa nodded slightly and accepted her brother's explanation, because it was in line with her understanding of both parties.

"As for why Elizabeth and Selena became weird later, I don't know the specific reason." Klein said after clearing himself, "But I can guess."

"Can you guess?" Melissa blurted out in surprise.

Klein raised his hand and rubbed his mouth and said:

"I guessed from what Elizabeth asked me about. The Hermes words she said were related to divination and some evil sacrifice objects. Well, when Selena performed magic mirror divination, did she recite it? Have you been to Hermes?"

He took the initiative to mention this matter in order to make his sister alert to similar things in the future. It would be better if he could stay away from Selena and Elizabeth.

"Yes..." Melissa replied hesitantly, "I think I understand the weirdness of Elizabeth and Selena..."

At this time, Klein deliberately asked back:

"Because Selena's magic mirror divination involves evil and illegal beliefs, after Elizabeth figured out the specific meaning of the corresponding Hermes text from me, she found an opportunity to blame the other party and correct the other party's mistakes?"

"I think so." Melissa has no doubts about this conclusion, because she reasoned it out on her own.

Seeing that his induction was effective, Klein breathed a sigh of relief:

"You have to warn Selena more in the future, so that she can return to the right path of faith."

When he said these words, he tapped four times on his chest very clerically.

"Well, I will!" Melissa replied firmly.

"Also, don't tell Elizabeth and Selena our speculations, don't tell Elizabeth and Selena what I said. I promised Elizabeth not to tell you." Klein finally emphasized.

"Yeah." Melissa nodded lightly.

…………

Blackthorn Security at 8 a.m. Monday.

Klein took off his hat, greeted Roshan and Bright, and after greeting the weather, he entered Captain Dunn Smith's office.

He pushed open the door, looked up, and was suddenly startled, because Dunn's face was quite pale, his gray eyes were slightly cloudy, and he lost his usual depth.

"What happened? Hynas Vancent?" Klein asked with surprise and concern.

Dunn rubbed his forehead, took a sip of coffee, and said with a wry smile:

"Hainas Vincent is dead."

"Who was killed in advance?" Klein took a cane and sat opposite Dunn.

Dunn didn't answer directly, sighed and said:

"Leonard and I went to find Hynas Vincent last night. Because he usually doesn't show any abnormal signs, and there is no weird place in the house, I decided to enter his dream first to find clues."

"In his dreams, in his dreams..."

Dunn repeated it twice, and said with fear in his eyes unconsciously:

"In his dream, I saw a cross, a huge cross, a cross that filled the sky, and on top of this cross was a black nail nailed to a naked man, with his arms outstretched and his feet on it. , the head hangs down like a pendant, and the body has blood stains one after another."

"As soon as I saw such a picture, I fainted and left Hynas Vancent's dream. When I woke up, Leonard told me that Hynas died in his sleep."

"Huge cross, upside-down, blood-stained man... This is a bit similar to the real Creator believed in by several secret organizations, but it is very different..." Klein speculated doubtfully.

The secret organizations that believe in the true creator are mainly a few that have only appeared in the last two or three hundred years, such as the Aurora Society, such as the Jagged Cross, but for more than a thousand years, similar images have never disappeared.

Dunn rubbed his forehead again:

"We will follow up later, you go to complete your team entry task now."
