In the afternoon, Klein returned home and drew the curtains, casting his bedroom in darkness.
He took out a pen and paper, and after some thought, he finally wrote down a sentence.
"Elliot's kidnapping was guided by supernatural factors."
As a Seer, Klein had previously divined whether the few coincidences had unnatural developments, but it turned out that he had been overthinking things.
This time, under the influence of Instructor Aztec, he took this problem seriously. He learned from the suited clown's lesson and carefully designed the divination statement. From the beginning, he eliminated vague and confusing descriptions.
Hmm, I'll break down the three coincidences and divine each one … Klein nodded thoughtfully and slowly took out the topaz pendant from his sleeve.
He held the spirit pendulum with his left hand and let the pendant dangle over the divination statement on the paper, nearly touching it.
Focusing his mind and entering Cogitation, Klein closed his eyes and began to recite the words.
"Elliot's kidnapping was guided by supernatural factors."
…
Over and over again, he opened his eyes and looked at the spirit pendulum. He saw that the topaz pendant was spinning slightly counterclockwise.
"Still negative …" Klein muttered. He redesigned the divination statement a few more times, but the outcome was still the same: there was no coincidence in the matter.
He also divined the matter of Ray Bieber's stay in Tingen and the matter of Selena's magic mirror divination, but the answer he received was "normal."
Heh, as a real Seer, I've been fooled by a fake charlatan like Mr. Aztec? Besides, Captain and the others didn't find anything strange … Klein shook his head in amusement, but he still remained cautious and prepared to use dream divination to make a final confirmation.
After some thought, he changed the divination statement to suit a different method.
"The true cause of Elliot's kidnapping." As he wrote with his pen, Klein paused from time to time as he deliberated over his words.
After reading it a few times, he tore off the piece of paper, got up, walked to his bed, and lay down.
With the divination statement in hand, Klein quickly fell asleep with the help of Cogitation.
In a blurry, distorted, and fragmented World, he regained some of his senses and wandered around in a daze.
Gradually, he saw the kidnappers. He saw them lose their last chip at the gambling table, saw them obtain guns from underground channels, saw them scout locations a few times, and temporarily rent the house opposite Ray Bieber's house as a hideout …
All of this was incoherent. It was a flash of images, but Klein couldn't find anything amiss.
Furthermore, it matched the confession of the kidnappers.
After exiting the dream, he divined the other two matters, but the results were the same. The development was in line with the law. A coincidence was really just a coincidence.
"I was indeed overthinking things. Mr. Azik is just a divination enthusiast …" Klein held the pendulum firmly as he shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Just as he was about to open the curtains and let the afternoon sun shine into the bedroom, his fingertips suddenly stopped here.
From the original owner's impression, Instructor Aztec is a steady, reliable, and trustworthy gentleman. He almost never says anything without basis. Even if he often argues with his tutor, it's limited to academic issues. Each has their own reasons … If he's just a pure divination enthusiast, he wouldn't communicate with me in this way … Furthermore, the original owner doesn't even remember that he likes divination … Of course, it could also be that the corresponding memory fragments are missing … Klein frowned. He still felt uneasy and wanted to find a way to confirm it.
He suspected that Mr. Aztec had accidentally found out some insider information, so he used divination as an excuse to remind himself.
"What should I do to confirm it?" Klein paced back and forth in the dark bedroom where he could barely see the words in the book as he recalled the other divination techniques he knew.
One step, two steps, three steps. He suddenly stopped as he came up with an idea.
"Let's assume that there's a problem with the coincidence, that I can't divine it because my Sequence isn't high enough and that I've been interfered with by external factors. Then, I can change the environment, one that's even more mysterious and incomprehensible than these matters!" Klein perked up as he pulled open the drawer and took out a silver knife.
Then, he gathered his psyche and allowed spirituality to flow out from the tip of the silver dagger, merging with the surrounding nature.
As he walked, the wall of spirituality gradually sealed the entire bedroom.
Klein's plan was to go above the gray fog for a divination, to the mysterious World!
…
Above the boundless and hazy grayish-white fog, in the majestic ancient temple.
Klein's figure sat at the end of the long bronze table. In front of him was a goatskin parchment that had just "conjured."
He picked up the fountain pen and wrote the divination statement according to his previous attempt.
"Elliot's kidnapping was guided by supernatural factors."
With the spirit pendulum in hand and the pendant hanging low, Klein allowed his psyche to quickly settle down, making it quiet and ethereal.
He half-closed his eyes and silently recited the divination statement seven times, allowing his spirituality to interact with the spirit world that stood above everything else.
Feeling the silver chain tug gently, Klein opened his eyes and looked at the spirit pendulum.
He was stunned when he saw it.
The topaz pendant was spinning clockwise!
This meant that Elliot's kidnapping was guided by supernatural factors!
And this was the complete opposite of the results of Klein's divination in the outside world!
There's no guidance at all … Such power, or rather means, is terrifying … What's the goal of the person behind the scenes? The Antigonus family's notebook is fated to be entangled with me? Klein was alarmed as he lost his calm, causing the spirit pendulum's spinning to become chaotic.
He put away the topaz pendant and pinched his glabella, his expression abnormally solemn.
After considering for a few seconds, he didn't attempt to divine the other two matters. Instead, he wrote a new divination statement.
"The true cause of Elliot's kidnapping."
Holding the piece of paper and silently reciting it seven times, Klein leaned back in his chair and fell asleep above the gray fog.
Soon, he saw a boundless, illusory, grayish-white fog.
The fog slowly parted, revealing colorful flowers and a green lawn.
Behind the flowers and the lawn, space distorted and overlapped, as though it had turned into a living monster.
Klein tried his best to look and barely saw a dark red chimney hidden there.
At that moment, everything in front of him collapsed and shattered. The dream suddenly collapsed.
In the magnificent temple, Klein suddenly straightened his back. He felt his heart pounding for no reason.
Phew … I feel like I've seen something terrifying … He took two deep breaths and calmed his chaotic emotions.
Tap. Tap. Moments later, Klein tapped the edge of the long table and fell into deep thought once again.
Red chimney … Garden … Lawn … Are these places related to the person behind the scenes? But those coincidences don't reveal his motives. It can even be said that he has no ill intentions …
Amidst his thoughts, Klein was alarmed. It was for himself, for Captain, Frye, and his other companions.
They were like puppets on strings, being manipulated to perform. What was even more terrifying was that they felt good about themselves …
Sigh … I still don't know how to mention this to Captain. The results of Old Neil's divination are identical to mine in the outside world … If I were to confirm it on the spot … There's no way to confirm it … Klein rubbed his Sun acupoint as though he had a headache.
After more than ten seconds of silence, he began to divine the matter of Ray Bieber's stay in Tingen. Similarly, he first used spirit dowsing.
This time, Klein was surprised to see that his topaz pendant was frozen in place. It didn't move at all, neither confirming nor denying it.
"Something's strange …" he muttered, his thoughts wandering as he tried to guess the reason. "Did the person behind the scenes notice my divination and respond?"
Next, he tried dream divination, but all he saw was an incoherent, fragmented, and blurry gray fog. He discovered nothing else.
The outcome of the Selena magic mirror incident was the same.
Klein had almost confirmed his previous thoughts. Since he couldn't find a good opportunity to warn Captain Dunn Smith, he had an unprecedented urge to improve himself.
I'll continue going to the Divination Club later and try to succeed in acting as soon as possible. I'll digest the Seer potion … Also, I have to confirm if the Clown potion is a follow-up to the Seer potion and find clues about it … Also, I have to interact more with Mr. Aztec and see if I can dig out any insider information he knows … Klein held his forehead with his right hand and quickly came up with a plan to focus on.
After some thought, he conjured a piece of goatskin paper in front of him and wrote:
"Sequence 9 Seer's corresponding Sequence 8 is Clown."
With his previous experience, Klein was now completely confident that his divination skills would be augmented by the gray fog and be elevated.
"It's just like how I can always throw a great success … Is this what it means to wield good luck?" he muttered silently as he picked up the spirit pendulum again.
Not long after, Klein received an affirmative answer.
Sequence 9 Seer corresponded to Sequence 8 Clown!
Following that, he wrote:
"Seer corresponds to Sequence 8, 7, 6, and 5. They will each obtain at least one brand new ability that is not related to each other."
Phew. Letting out a turbid breath, Klein tried the spirit pendulum again.
However, he saw that the topaz pendulum was still there without any movement.
"There isn't enough information to complete the divination and obtain a revelation?" As he muttered to himself in thought, he put down the silver chain and began to consider the words needed for dream divination.
After about ten seconds, he raised his pen and wrote seriously:
