How … stylish! Faced with Miss Bodyguard's answer, the corners of Klein's mouth curled up, revealing an obvious smile.
Hmm, to be able to temporarily resist a Nimblewright Master like Rosago and even form a tug-of-war with him to a certain extent, she's most likely a Sequence 5 Beyonder. I wonder which Sequence she's from. What's the name of the potion? Her state is rather peculiar … If not for her, I wouldn't even have the chance to use the Language of Foulness … Klein picked up the newspaper beside him and pretended to flip through it, but he was actually thinking.
However, he quickly shifted his focus back to the matter of whether there were any loopholes. For example, the tainted Beyonder characteristic left behind by Rosago had a strong spiritual luster. It was very likely that it couldn't be concealed by the iron cigar case, and it would be directly exposed under the prying eyes of others with Spirit Vision.
Klein quietly activated his Spirit Vision and looked down at his pocket. He saw a faint color seeping out from the iron cigar case, but it wasn't obvious and was rather thin.
This was mixed with the color of his aura, making it difficult to distinguish or detect.
That's right. One has to be at least a High-Sequence Beyonder to be able to see through two layers of interference … It's no wonder herbal powder and the corresponding essential oil extract and other ingredients have to be used in metal bottles instead of wooden containers. This is because some of them contain spirituality, and with a high level of Spirit Vision, one can penetrate the wooden planks and see the color of the aura … Klein suddenly understood some things to take note of in the field of mysticism.
In the past, he did things according to the rules and didn't consider why, but now he understood the true meaning behind the rules.
After repeatedly confirming that there were no mistakes, Klein put down the newspaper and walked to the second floor.
He had originally planned on taking off his clothes and taking a bath to completely relax, but when he thought of how he had Miss Bodyguard at home, he felt a little uncomfortable. He simply washed his face, brushed his teeth, and soaked his feet in hot water.
After returning to his bedroom, he took off his coat and hid his items. Klein collapsed onto the bed. As he was too exhausted and had been holding on for quite a while, his mind was rather tense, making it impossible for him to quickly fall asleep.
Opening his eyes to look at the crimson moonlight on the ceiling, Klein didn't attempt to use Cogitation to fall into a deep sleep. Instead, he aimlessly let his thoughts wander, as though he was riding a horse without the reins.
As he thought about it, he quickly noticed a problem because he had encountered too many coincidences in Tingen City, and he later realized that it had something to do with Sealed Artifact 0-08.
"The second case after I arrived in Baekeland allowed me to obtain the potion formulas for the next three Sequences. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"
Although this matches the revelation I received from my divination — "the hope of becoming stronger lies in Baekeland," isn't it too fast and too simple?
"Simple doesn't refer to the difficulty, but the degree of twists and turns. This matter is difficult and dangerous, but it's not complicated. It seems simple."
According to my expectations, I should've used Miss Justice, Mr. The Hanging Man, Miss Xio, and her companions to gather intelligence on the Secret Order and slowly catch the tail of this ancient organization. After many twists and turns, I finally obtained the formula. This should've taken me at least three months, but who knew that I would succeed in less than three weeks …
"Don't tell me it was arranged by someone again?"
"Hmm … Let's review everything from the beginning. It's not a coincidence that the Secret Order and the Republic of Intis have a certain relationship. Rosell The Great's diary indirectly confirms this."
"The abilities of a Seer and a Faceless are very suitable for intelligence organizations. It's reasonable and normal for a Mid-Sequence Beyonder of a similar pathway to become the assistant of an intelligence chief like Bakerland. There's no coincidence."
"When the ambassador sent someone to take revenge on me, he likely had the intention of diverting attention. Sending Rosago, who's the easiest to succeed and also the easiest to escape, was a choice that effectively reduced the risk. It's not surprising."
"After the detectives Ian knew didn't accept the mission of tailing Zreal, it was quite normal for him to find a new detective from the newspapers. At that time, there weren't many new detectives advertised, and I might even be the only one. Yes, I was the only one in the Baekeland Post …"
"Just as I previously concluded, the problem was that Meursault was too rash. I was worried that it wouldn't be easy to disguise myself and that it would attract attention, so I didn't hide my appearance. Although there's a possibility of being affected on both points, especially the former, it matches the corresponding personality, mentality, and background."
"Besides, that's not the point. This doesn't explain why the second case I encountered involved a Mid-Sequence Beyonder of the Seer pathway."
"Destined? That doesn't feel right. "
"Thinking back, after I transmigrated, the first and second cases I was involved in were also related to the Seer pathway. Of course, this can be explained by 0-08's arrangements."
"Right, the Antigonus family's notebook also corrupted the Misfortune Cloth Puppet, showing me the complicated vertical eye symbol that was related to the Antigonus family's treasure. The reason I thought of back then was that after the Antigonus family's bloodline went extinct, it viewed me, a Seer who had come into contact with it and was still alive, as its successor."
"Now that I think about it, this reason was very childish. What if I was a devout believer of the Evernight Goddess? However, I only made a guess back then and didn't confirm it. "
"The Antigonus family's treasure is clearly related to the Seer pathway."
"Thinking deeper, why did I transmigrate? Why did I happen to possess Klein's body and not someone else … Back then, Klein happened to undergo a black divination and was controlled by the Antigonus family's notebook to commit suicide. And that notebook is clearly related to the Seer pathway."
"In addition, the first Rosell diary I saw had content about regretting not choosing Apprentice, Marauder, and Seer. That's a very coincidental thing."
"From beginning to end, apart from the parts that involve 0-08, everything else seems very messy. It doesn't seem like a conscious arrangement. It's closer to a kind of passive attraction. It's mutual attraction, and there's an intermittent attraction."
"I'm attracting matters and objects related to the Seer pathway, and at the same time, I'm attracted to them?"
"It's quite strange just thinking about it. This kind of attraction can even indirectly affect fate, preventing Mr. Aztec from noticing it?"
"Do I have any strange characteristics?"
"This characteristic allows me to revive from the dead to a certain extent?"
With this in mind, Klein immediately had the urge to head above the gray fog to divine to confirm it.
However, he quickly rejected this thought, not only because Miss Bodyguard might be watching him in the mirror, but also because he believed that his greatest characteristic was the mysterious space above the gray fog!
Therefore, using it to divine himself clearly wouldn't give him an answer.
At least from the looks of it, there aren't any obvious signs of manipulation. It's still acceptable if it's just attraction … Besides, I've already chosen my Beyonder pathway. There's no way to change it before Sequence 4. I'll temporarily take things one step at a time … Yes, I'll first firmly not head to the Hornacis mountain range to search for the Antigonus family's treasure … Heh heh, I have a feeling that I'll say it's delicious in the future … Klein silently mocked himself. He felt the fatigue that he had recovered gradually surge up, causing his eyelids to close uncontrollably.
His last thought before falling asleep was:
Participate in all kinds of Beyonder gatherings, as well as gather the Beyonder ingredients corresponding to Magicians through Miss Justice, Mr. The Hanging Man, and Sun. I won't reject any Faceless. In addition, I'll try my best to get a mystical item that doesn't have serious negative effects. After I'm done digesting it, I'll have more means to protect myself before my strength increases … Other than that, I'll invest, accept commissions, save up money, and search for Lanevus. I'll use him as a starting point for my revenge. It can also be considered practice …
This was Klein's future plans.
He naturally woke up at seven in the morning. It was still gloomy and foggy outside.
Klein got up and walked to the door. When he passed by the full-body mirror, he saw Miss Bodyguard suddenly appear.
She was wearing the same black bonnet, and her face was as pale as ever. Her voice penetrated the glass and drifted into Klein's ears.
"Last night, someone from MI9 came."
Uh … Should I say that the "police" were indeed late? I should thank them for being late … Klein smiled and asked.
"They didn't discover anything, right?"
He was very certain of the answer. If MI9 had really discovered something, how could he have woken up naturally?
"No." Miss Bodyguard's figure faded and disappeared into the mirror.
This ability of hers is very powerful … I can't even discover it with my Spirit Vision … Perhaps I can use the Beyonder characteristic left behind by Rosago to see it? Discover those hidden threads and find Miss Bodyguard? Klein's heart stirred. He returned to the bed and took out the iron cigar case from under his pillow.
Just as he held it in his hand, before he could open it, he felt a bone-piercing chill at the back of his neck. His hair stood on end as he trembled.
Pa!
His hand loosened, and the iron cigar case fell to the ground.
This is Miss Bodyguard's warning … Klein laughed dryly and stuffed the iron cigar case into his trouser pocket as though nothing had happened.
After washing up and putting on his clothes, he went to the first floor and took out the newspapers he had subscribed to from the box outside the door.
Opening the Tussock Times, Klein saw the eye-catching headline:
"The terrorist organization, the Aurora Order, claims responsibility for the murder of Ambassador Intis Bakerland!"
The results came out so quickly? Furthermore, the Aurora Order had only accepted the commission, so why did they claim responsibility? Hmm … Terrorist organizations also need to show off and establish their image. Only then can they attract enough fresh blood. This complements their secret missionary work … Mr. A is very powerful. He should be a Shepherd … Klein stood in the foyer and read the news in detail.
According to the description of the news, there was evidence of the Aurora Order attacking Ambassador Bakerland at the scene, and in the follow-up investigation, they also found a letter that the Aurora Order had deliberately left behind, a letter that claimed responsibility.
At the end of the news, the reporter briefly introduced the Aurora Order and listed some of the illegal acts they had committed, instantly making their fame surpass that of most secret organizations.
Regardless, the matter has come to an end … Klein exhaled and looked out the window. He saw a thin fog filling the air and sparse rain dripping down.
"At times like this, shouldn't there be bright sunlight and clear weather to match the scenery?" Klein laughed self-deprecatingly.
