"1, 2, 3, 4, 5... It seems to have twelve pairs of wings... According to the descriptions in the scriptures of various churches, this is an angel of the highest level..." Fors tried hard to recall the scene he saw in his half-awake state. He was shocked but not so shocked. It was as if he had encountered something shocking that he took for granted but had never encountered before.
It is not surprising that Mr. Fool has angels serving him. We can imagine it from the fact that Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man occasionally refer to him as "Him". We can also infer it from the fact that He can isolate the influence of the full moon's whispers... However, my request is just to interfere with Mr. Lawrence's divination, but He actually asked the angels to protect me. Isn't this too extravagant? Or is this a routine operation for Him?
Um, there is another question. Why are the feathers on angel wings black? Does this mean depravity or death? What is the true identity of Mr. Fool? Which great being is he? The "God of Death" who was rumored to have fallen in the "Pale Age"? Is He going to revive Himself through the Tarot Gathering? Fors suddenly took a breath, no longer worried that Mr. Lawrence would use divination to find out that there was something wrong with him.
Thinking that she had already joined the Tarot Club, she smiled bitterly and whispered silently:
"We can only do as Emperor Roselle said, take one step at a time and wait and see..."
After collecting his thoughts, Fors humbly thanked Mr. Fool again, then followed the normal procedures of the ceremony, extinguished the flames of the three candles, and dealt with the altar filled with various items.
…………
Above the gray fog, Klein temporarily put the affairs of the Abraham family behind him.
According to the original plan, he materialized a pen and paper and wrote the following divination sentence:
"Daisy's current situation."
After putting away the pen, Klein stacked Daisy's vocabulary book and the paper with the divination sentence together and held them in his left hand.
Then, he leaned back in his chair and entered a meditative state, repeating to himself "Daisy's current situation" over and over again.
After doing it seven times, Klein fell asleep. His vision first turned dark and red, and then gray.
One picture after another flashed by, some were coherent, some were jumpy, and some had no logic at all.
Klein saw the young daughter of the laundry worker Liv. The thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl was repeatedly burned by steam but still insisted on ironing clothes. A man wearing a heavy jacket and a gray-black baseball cap covered her mouth with a handkerchief from behind and forcibly dragged her into a side road in a remote alley.
Another man dressed in the same way grabbed her legs and, together with his companions, lifted her up and walked very quickly.
Their target was the carriage parked outside the alley.
The whole process was over in less than two minutes. When Daisy's sister Freya turned around and found here, the carriage had already left.
…
In the carriage, Daisy, who was in a daze, had a cold and sharp dagger pressed against her face and heard dirty, threatening words in her ears.
…
The carriage drove into Kapin's luxurious villa.
…
Daisy was in a small, dark room. From time to time, she could hear women crying, screaming and cursing from outside.
…
Daisy regained consciousness and shouted for help, but someone opened the door and kicked her over, causing her to be unable to stand up due to the pain.
She shed tears and kept whispering words like "Mom" and "Freya".
…………
Klein opened his eyes and found that the paper in his left palm had been crumpled into a ball by him at some point.
He has already determined that Kapin is the mastermind behind many cases of missing girls and that he is the boss of a criminal group.
But the problem is that this kind of case should not and could not involve too strong a Beyonder power. At most, there would be a few Sequence 7s, 8s, or 9s who are greedy for money to help. Klein would not feel a strong sense of danger through his spiritual intuition as soon as he approached the villa.
Could it be that Ka Ping is a Sequence 6 or even Sequence 5 Beyonder? But it is not difficult for Beyonders of this level to make money. There is no need to do such dirty and tedious things. It is easier to just call the various gangs and collect protection fees one by one, and it won't dirty your hands... Could it be that Ka Ping has some hidden agenda in human trafficking? As Klein pondered, he used the power of the gray fog to restore Daisy's word book to a flat surface.
After a few seconds of silence, he materialized another piece of parchment and wrote a new divination statement:
"Saving Daisy is a dangerous business."
After reading it carefully twice, Klein took off the pendulum from his left wrist and let the topaz pendant fall onto the paper, almost touching the line of words.
After calming down for a few seconds, he closed his eyes and silently recited the divination sentence he had just written.
When the sound stopped, Klein opened his eyes and looked at the pendulum in his left hand.
The yellow quartz pendant was rotating clockwise at a very fast speed and with a large amplitude!
This means affirmation, indicating that saving Daisy is a rather dangerous thing!
But it wasn't completely hopeless. There was still a decent possibility, a decent chance, as long as he could grasp it... Klein interpreted the revelation given by the Pendulum Method.
He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and said with a self-deprecating smile:
"Aren't you looking for an opportunity to perform proactively?
“This is it!
“As a magician, you still have to challenge yourself to do something difficult, otherwise you should be called a master of tricks instead of a magician.
"To accomplish something that seems impossible, even if the result is false, this is the image of a magician in my mind. As for whether it is one of the rules, it remains to be confirmed..."
Klein tapped his fingers on the edge of the ancient long table and made a quick decision.
The most difficult thing for him at the moment about saving Daisy and dealing with Kapin is that he has no idea about the other party. He doesn't know how many Beyonders there are in the villa, and which paths and sequences they belong to.
This prevented Klein from making targeted preparations.
And for a "magician", the first rule is, "Don't perform without preparation"!
——Many seemingly impromptu performances actually require certain preparations, such as long-term practice of techniques and a deep understanding of how to divert attention.
"In the name of the Follower, can I ask Miss Justice to help me find out Capin's background?" Klein seriously considered a solution to the problem.
But he quickly rejected this idea:
"No, I can't get detailed information. Although Kapin is a wealthy man who has connections with many big shots, he is still not visible to the public. Miss Justice can at most find out which nobles, parliamentarians, and government employees he has close relationships with, but she can't find out how many Beyonders are in his villa, what traps he has set, or what the layout is like...
"Following these connections and clues, Miss Justice may be able to find out what I want to know in a few weeks, but this is too slow. Saving lives is like putting out a fire. A delay will lead to tragedy."
Klein's eyes swept across the surface of the long bronze table and the corners where the sundries were piled. An idea gradually formed in his mind:
"On the one hand, I'll have Miss Magician and her friend Miss Xiu investigate Kapin's background and find out which Beyonders he's involved with. They have good connections in many gangs and Beyonder circles in the East District. On the other hand, I'll do it myself and get the information I want from the servants or bodyguards who come out of Kapin's villa, using the method of 'psychic communication'."
After finalizing the plan, Klein did not rush to ask Miss Magician for help. He decided to try it himself first so that he could ask her to find out certain things in a targeted manner.
In an instant, his figure disappeared into the towering palace above the gray fog.
…………
After lunch, a man wearing a gray-black baseball cap and a thick cotton coat carefully left the back door of the Capin Villa, walked to the intersection, and got into a hired carriage.
"East District." He touched the dark red birthmark on his face and instructed the driver.
The carriage started moving, and the man looked out the window boredly, admiring the beautifully dressed ladies and girls on the street.
"It would be great if I could kidnap them..." The man was lost in thought, with a look of regret on his face.
After walking away from Iris Street, he suddenly shuddered and his eyes became slightly dull.
He knocked on the compartment wall and said to the driver:
"Stop, stop! I forgot something. I'll stop here."
The coachman didn't dare to scold the vicious man. He stopped the carriage on the side of the street and let him get off without even a grumble.
After paying 6 pence for the fare, the man backed up a few dozen meters and entered a cheap hotel.
Without any identification required, he paid for a room.
After entering, he just left the door ajar but did not lock it.
Then, the man sat on the edge of the bed with an expressionless face, and a transparent and illusory figure suddenly separated from his body!
This is Klein dressed as a worker!
He used his own method of summoning himself to transform into a spirit, attached himself to the man, and let him walk to a place where it was convenient for "spiritual communication"!
After knocking the man unconscious, Klein disappeared into the room in spirit form. Not long after, the door was pushed open, and he walked in again in his flesh and blood form.
Blocking this place with a spiritual wall, Klein quickly arranged a "spiritual" ritual, allowing the ethereal and charming scent of "Amanda" hydrosol and "Eye of the Spirit" potion to waft around.
After getting ready, he was about to start "communication" when he suddenly let out a cry and stopped.
He discovered that the spirit of the man who was unconscious in ** was subject to mysterious unknown restrictions. If he forcibly "communicated with the spirit", although there was a high probability of success, it would trigger the mark and make a certain extraordinary person notice it!
This will alert the enemy!
A very strange Beyonder ability... Very cautious, very careful... The matter involving Kapin is really not simple... Klein paced a few steps, frowning slightly.
He glanced at the unconscious man and suddenly said:
"You think you can stump me like this?"
He quickly interrupted the spiritual ritual, summoned himself again, and responded to himself.
A few seconds later, he flew out of the candlelight in spirit form and floated in the room again.
Without any hesitation, Klein, in spirit form, suddenly stepped forward and possessed the unconscious man.
The man suddenly turned over and sat up, opened his eyes, and looked quite dazed.
He stood up straight, walked to the front of the altar, and then chanted in a low voice:
"Fools who do not belong to this era;"
"You are the mysterious master above the gray fog;"
"You are the yellow and black king who controls good luck."
