Sharon took the tranquilizer in the glass test tube and looked at the seemingly pure liquid in her eyes. She nodded slightly and said,
"Alright."
As expected of someone who doesn't waste his breath … Klein smiled and said,
"Miss Sharon, can you tell me the battle locations you've arranged? I hope to familiarize myself with the surroundings in the next few days. That way, no matter where you ultimately choose, I will be more prepared. "
And since they have the right to choose the location of the final battle, they won't be worried that I might inform the official organizations or other Beyonders who want to take advantage of me … Of course, if I really can't be trusted, I can "notarize" it again … Klein thought silently.
Sharron stared at him with her blue eyes for a few seconds before she said, "That's right.
"Go back and prepare a map of Baekeland."
"Spread it on the coffee table."
"No problem. I hope this cooperation is not only smooth, but also pleasant." Klein habitually extended his hand forward, wanting to shake the other party's hand.
Sharon lowered her head and took a look. Her figure gradually became illusory and disappeared into thin air.
Klein raised his right hand, smoothed his black hair, and laughed dryly.
He had asked about the location of the battle not only to prepare for the mission, but also to guard against Sharon and Marić.
Although the other party's philosophy was to suppress and control their desires and wouldn't burn bridges after crossing them, Klein couldn't be sure that Steve, Jason, and Tyre didn't have anything they desired. If there really was a treasure that ordinary Beyonders would have strong evil intentions toward, Klein really couldn't guarantee that the two Mutants would be able to control themselves.
Therefore, he had to figure out the environment in advance and prepare an escape route if the other party chose to silence him.
It wasn't that Klein didn't trust Sharon, who had gone through thick and thin with her. This was the most basic form of self-protection.
One shouldn't have the intention to harm others, but one must always guard against others … Klein turned his head to look out the window and sighed in Chinese.
The street lamps kept moving backward, and the streets became more spacious and tidy. It took him more than half an hour and three soli to finally return to Minsk Street.
It's really expensive to take a carriage at this hour … Klein looked up at the almost black sky and the crimson moon that faintly pierced through the clouds.
He walked forward for a while and suddenly realized that there was no light in Lawyer Jurgen's house. It was silent and dark.
Taking out his golden pocket watch and opening it, Klein chuckled. He turned to Jurgen's door and opened it with the key he had given him.
At this moment, the black cat, Brody, was already quietly squatting behind the door, looking at the visitor with his green round eyes. The room was dark and lonely.
Klein squatted down and attempted to touch Brodie's head, but Brodie nimbly moved back and flung his hand away with a look of disdain.
He shook his head and laughed. He got up, opened the valve, lit the gas lamp, and went to the cupboard to find the prepared ingredients according to Lawyer Jurgen's description.
He shook his head and laughed. He got up, opened the valve, and lit the gas lamp. Following Lawyer Jurgen's instructions, he went to the cupboard and found the prepared ingredients.
The black cat followed him in and nimbly leaped onto the counter. It squatted by the side and watched Klein work without making a fuss.
Klein glanced at it and rehearsed in his mind how he was going to tear the chicken breast.
As he chatted with Brody, he said, "You must miss Mrs. Doris, right?"
"Are you worried about her condition …"
"Lawyer Jurgen didn't come home today. Are you lonely and uncomfortable? Do you feel like you don't have a home? Do you feel very tired …"
…
As he spoke, Klein's voice gradually softened into silence.
The black cat, Brody, remained squatting there, looking at him quietly. It didn't make a fuss or make a sound.
…
At Lady Norma's house, Audrey was invited to participate in the afternoon tea.
"They are the mysticism experts I'm talking about." Lady Norma enthusiastically introduced the distinguished guests. "This is Mr. Hilbert Alucard. He's a psychologist and a jewelry designer. He's very talented. This is Miss Escalante Osleyka. She's a doctor in the field of the mind, or what we often call a psychiatrist."
Hilbert Alucard was a man in his forties. He seemed to have some Southern Continent ancestry, and his skin was brown.
He had brown hair and blue eyes. His facial features weren't outstanding, and he gave off a quiet and reserved feeling.
Escalante Osleyka was a baby-faced lady. She was clearly a psychiatrist, but she looked like a young girl who was still in public school or grammar school.
She had long black hair that reached her waist and a pair of lake-like blue eyes. She was three to four centimeters shorter than Audrey.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with the other party, Audrey sat down. She keenly noticed that Alucard and Escalante were observing her.
She didn't use her Telepathic Reader powers. Instead, she pretended not to know anything and took the initiative to start a topic in the field of mysticism. She also paid attention to whether her emotions were in the most logical state.
I can't let them find out that I'm already a Beyonder. I've already consumed the Spectator and Telepathic Reader potions … Audrey knew very well what role she had to play today.
Unlike the silent Alucard, Escalante was the talkative type. After chatting for a while, she asked, "Why are you here?
After chatting for a while, she asked, "Do you know about the Lunar New Year and the Lunar New Year?"
"No, I've never heard of them." Audrey cautiously answered with the knowledge she had come into contact with in the circle of mysticism enthusiasts.
In fact, I've already figured out from Mr. The Hanging Man what the Great Year is and what the Great Moon is … she added inwardly with a smile.
"The Great Year refers to the number of years it takes for the rotation axis of the planet we're on to deviate once. It's a total of 25920 years. In the field of mysticism, this is considered a complete cycle, from the beginning to the end. The Great Moon refers to the number of years it takes for this deviation to pass through one of the twelve constellations. Every Great Moon is 2160 years. When the Great Moon alternates, a terrible disaster will befall. According to calculations, we don't have many years left before the end of this Great Moon …" Escalante spoke with assurance, keeping the atmosphere in a harmonious state.
Audrey hid the fact that she didn't know much and asked the wrong questions from time to time in a curious tone.
Just like that, the beautiful afternoon passed quickly. Alucard and Escalante got up at the same time to say goodbye and leave Ma 'am Norma's house.
This disappointed Audrey. She thought that they would finally hint at Psychological Alchemy, but in the end, they didn't say anything.
Yes, as a secret organization that can't be exposed, the examination of a reserve member isn't that simple and direct … It looks like I'll have to interact with them a few more times and observe them in secret for a while before they can decide if they want to reveal information to me and pull me into the organization … That's good too. I can report to Mr. Fool first! Audrey quickly understood the reason.
She then took her leave, and Lady Norma saw her to the door and said with a smile, "I'm sorry.
She smiled and said, "Audrey, I see that you're also very interested in psychology? Why don't you consider trying to be a psychiatrist before getting married? "
"Earl Hall and his wife are both believers of the Goddess, so they should support you in doing something similar."
Between nobles, unless there was a financial crisis or some other special situation, it would take a long time to reach a marriage agreement. They would have to go through strict consideration and comparison before they could make a decision. This was because it was not only a matter of two young people, but it also involved the alliance and mutual assistance of the family.
Therefore, although noblewomen could officially enter social occasions under the guidance of the queen after the age of 18, declare themselves as adults and could consider marriage, but according to statistics, they often started a family after the age of 26.
Similarly, the average age of a noble male who would enter the military or politics was eight years old. In other words, after Audrey came of age, she would have about eight years to do what she liked.
As for the Church of the Evernight Goddess, it had always encouraged female believers to go out to work and engage in certain professions. In the aristocratic circles, many young ladies and ladies had become literary critics, musicians, pianists, painters, etc.
Was this a test? Audrey replied with a faint smile,
"Then I still need to read more books."
She had always felt that it wasn't safe for people in Psychological Alchemy to become psychiatrists or psychologists. This was because the upper echelons of official organizations like the Nighthawks and Mandated Punishers should know about the acting method and would definitely pay more attention to this group of people.
Lady Norma seemed satisfied with her answer. She nodded and smiled.
"Escalante and Alucard are both good teachers."
"Well, maybe I can consider asking Miss Escalante to be my psychologist and tutor." Audrey nodded obediently.
…
On Sunday morning, after Klein woke up, he realized that the map of Baekeland on the coffee table in the living room had been circled several places, and they weren't too far away from each other. Therefore, he spent the whole morning familiarizing himself with the surrounding environment, figuring out the specific buildings and the location of the nearest church.
In the afternoon, he once again headed to the Quelaag Club, preparing to practice his marksmanship and Beyonder powers.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Surgeon Allen Ceres slowly walking out of the cafeteria with a cane.
After greeting him, he asked with concern,
"Allen, how have you been? Has your luck improved? "
A sincere smile appeared on Allen's face even though he was born with a cold and indifferent appearance.
"At least I won't be so unlucky anymore!"
"I went to the cathedral according to your suggestion and told the bishop about the matter. He told me to go directly to the confessional to pray to the Goddess."
"While praying, I actually fell asleep, but I seem to feel that the Goddess has bestowed me with a peaceful and calm state. From then on, my luck has been normal!"
"Praise the Goddess!"
He drew a crimson moon on his chest.
According to my experience, it should be a Sequence 7 Nightmare that made you fall into a deep sleep. Then, a Nighthawk who's good at rituals quickly set up an altar and prayed to the Goddess to neutralize your bad luck … The corners of Klein's mouth curled up.
"That's great!"
At this moment, Allen glanced at him and said,
