Chapter 107 Action



An abnormal reaction? It seems to be the "blasphemy card"! After receiving the reply, Klein, who entered the gray fog, was delighted at first, and then inexplicably surprised:

"Isn't Miss Justice too efficient?"

"I just commissioned the task this afternoon, and she completed the verification this evening..."

"Besides, this is obviously past the closing time of the Kingdom Museum!"

"The Mind Reader definitely doesn't have any extraordinary ability to infiltrate!"

"Hiss, her family's power may be even greater than I thought..."

"Fortunately, the verification did not reveal any strange phenomena, otherwise Miss Justice would have to pretend to be innocent and hand in the card, and this would mean that I have no chance of getting the treasure... Nothing is 100% certain..."

As his thoughts raced, Klein heard Miss Justice's follow-up question:

"Mr. Fool, what secret does that bookmark hide?"

"Well, if your follower is unwilling to give an answer, just pretend I didn't ask."

Of course, it contains the "Secret of the Blasphemous Card"! Klein sighed silently with joy.

After thinking it over carefully, he decided to wait until he got the "Card of Blasphemy" before responding to Miss "Justice", so as to prevent her from being too shocked and showing abnormal behavior, which would have a negative impact on her own actions.

Klein did not rush back to the real world. He just sat in the quiet and empty ancient palace, thinking about when and how to act.

Miss Justice had caused some damage to the bookmark. I wonder if anyone would notice it later... Or, the bookmark would slowly show its unusual features and attract attention... So, I couldn't delay or wait. It would be best to do it tonight! After a while of various thoughts boiling over, Klein gradually made a decision.

Then, based on his observations in the morning, he visualized the layout of the first floor of the Kingdom Museum and the general environment around it.

Looking at the blueprint, Klein deduced different courses of action and quickly established a relatively safe plan.

Finally, he did divination again to confirm the degree of danger.

After seeing that nothing had changed, he returned to the real world and began to make various preparations.

Klein originally wanted to respond to himself by "drawing" the pattern in his memory, forging a similar bookmark, and then replacing it after infiltrating, ensuring that no one would notice or know about it for a long time. When the incident happened, there would be no way to trace him back.

However, after repeated consideration, he felt that this was not a good idea. As long as the forged bookmark was discovered, the person most suspicious would be Miss "Justice" who had touched the original bookmark today.

I can't put Miss Justice at risk for the sake of the treasure. She did this to help me! Klein finally figured out how to prevent people from suspecting Miss Justice.

That is, don't just steal the bookmark you need, but also take the surrounding parts, including some lighter books!

Phew…Klein, who was well prepared, took out his gold-cased pocket watch, opened it and took a look, patiently waiting for the time after 9 o’clock and before midnight.

If it was too early, the people around would not have gone to bed yet, which would not meet the needs of his action plan. If it was too late, there would be almost no pedestrians on the streets, and just walking on the street would easily arouse suspicion. During this period, due to the serial murder case, the entire Backlund was in a state of tight martial law.

This is both advantageous and disadvantageous to Klein's actions!

Tick, tick, the hands kept moving, and as the night deepened and the red moon emerged, they finally passed 9 o'clock.

Klein put away his "master key" and other items, took his cane, and first went to the East District to change his clothes. Then he took a rented carriage several times and arrived at a place not far from the King's Avenue in the West District.

At this time, one hour and three quarters had passed.

His original plan was actually not like this. He wanted to use the method of summoning himself and responding to himself to transform into a spirit state, fly across the distance from Cherwood District to the West District at an extremely fast speed, and then sneak into the Kingdom Museum, using that special method to succeed without being noticed.

However, he eventually abandoned this plan because of the potential high risks.

There are High-Sequence Experts in Backlund, and there is more than one!

In the case of a serial murder case that has caused panic among the people but has not been solved for a long time, perhaps some high-sequence strongmen are consciously using their extraordinary abilities or corresponding sealed items to monitor certain areas. The distance from the Joewood District to the West District is not long, but also not short. If a special spirit flies over like this, the probability of being discovered is not low.

This cannot be completely ignored just because the divination result says "there is a certain risk but it is not very high", because the answers obtained from divination are basically not intuitive, but revelations that need to be interpreted.

In other words, the result of "somewhat dangerous but not very high" requires a prerequisite, that is, one has made a relatively good choice.

Therefore, Klein was cautious and modified the original plan, but retained the core idea.

…………

King's Road 2, Kingdom Museum.

On the polygonal four-slope roof, there stood four security guards in woolen coats. They endured the cold wind of the late autumn night and carefully looked in their respective directions. Once someone approached the museum, it would be difficult to hide from their eyes even with the help of the shadows of trees and houses.

Just from this arrangement, it can be seen that the security company that took on this commission is very professional.

"It's still half an hour before the rotation..." A security guard looked down at his companions who were patrolling around the house and shook his body.

Inside the museum, the remaining security personnel were divided into four groups, patrolling each exhibition hall at intervals along different routes.

In the exhibition hall where Roselle's diary was stored, Max Livermore, the captain of the "Mechanical Heart" team, was wearing a monocle that could directly see ghosts and other spiritual monsters. He was holding a lantern and checking back and forth, and occasionally went out to check the situation in other places.

His two subordinates stayed in the small hall, next to Roselle's diary.

But there was an extra item placed on the glass display case.

It was a pile of colorful building blocks that formed a miniature picture of the first floor of the museum.

This is also a sealed item. As long as those deformable building blocks are assembled into corresponding buildings, they can establish a connection with real things. Once someone breaks in, it will immediately shrink.

Of course, this correspondence has many limitations. It can't be too far apart, and it can't be put together if the number of building blocks it has is not enough.

And the people and objects inside are almost unable to leave without external help.

"Captain, do you think someone will really come to steal this notebook? I can't understand it at all!" A team member asked out of boredom when he saw Max coming back with a lantern.

Max smiled and said:

"Some people's worship of Russell is so fanatical that you can't understand it."

"Some of them think they can crack it, but they just need more references. Others believe that the symbols themselves contain mysterious power. As long as they find the right combination, they will gain extraordinary power."

“In previous exhibitions, criminals like this were caught from time to time.”

"So, the reason why we didn't take the diary away and put it in the sealed place is that we are waiting for someone to come and 'surrender'?" another team member asked with some realization.

Max nodded and said:

"Who wouldn't want the merit that's delivered to you?"

…………

18 King's Road, outside the building near the intersection.

Klein walked in a straight line along the shadows and sheltered areas, using the Master Key from time to time, and finally arrived here.

He took out the quaint brass key again, pointed it at the kitchen door, and turned it silently.

Amid the barely perceptible ripples of water, Klein entered, passing through doors and walls along the way, and found a storage room without alerting anyone.

“This ‘Master Key’ is really useful! But the two previous owners got lost and ended up in dangerous places, so people don’t dare to carry it with them all the time…” Klein sighed, put away the brass key, and with the servant’s bedroom next to him, he took out the Holy Night Powder, released his spiritual power, and sealed off the entire storage room, preventing any movement inside from being heard.

Then he took out a candle and placed it on the box in front of him.

Snap! He snapped his fingers, causing a pale blue spiritual flame to emerge from his fingertips.

After the candle wick was lit, he summoned himself according to the process of ritual magic, and responded to himself above the gray fog.

Less than a minute later, Klein floated in the room, facing his lifeless body.

After getting familiar with the feeling, he wrapped the ancient and exquisite Azik copper whistle, making the spirit body stable and powerful, and a cold wind began to linger and swirl in the room.

At the same time, he also used this power to slightly change the appearance of the illusory spirit, making it seem as if a layer of oil paint was painted on its face.

After doing all this, Klein picked up a box of ordinary matches he bought on the street, cut a transparent door in the wall of spirituality, and walked out through it.

"action!"

He silently encouraged himself, and like a real ghost, he passed through one residential house after another and successfully arrived at the outskirts of the Kingdom Museum.

There was no need to activate his clairvoyance; in this state he could clearly see every security guard; their aura and emotional colors betrayed them without reservation.

After finding the withered lawn and the iron-black lamppost facing the exhibition hall window, Klein did not take advantage of the fact that ordinary people could not see him and swaggered over. Instead, he followed the shadows and a route that was difficult to be noticed. He passed through the tree carvings and obstacles, and carefully reached his destination, sticking to the wall - he could not guarantee that there was not a member of the "Mechanical Heart" team mixed in among the security personnel.

At this moment, the four security guards on the roof who were carefully examining their respective areas were like real blind people and could not find anything.

Klein did not enter the exhibition hall directly. This was because his inspiration and intuition told him that the first floor of the museum was shrouded in a mysterious force, and also because he could not confirm whether there were any Beyonders inside.

According to the planned procedure, he went around to the other side, to the outside of a bathroom closer to the exhibition hall where Roselle's diary was located, and threw the box of matches he was carrying into the room through the ventilation vent.

Then he flew up and flew to the second floor!
