What? Klein was stunned by Roxanne's question and recalled in a daze:

"When I went to Neil's house last month, I found a piano in the living room. He told me that his late wife loved music..."

As he was talking, Klein was startled and had some bad thoughts for no apparent reason.

Luo Shan frowned and said uncertainly:

"Maybe I remembered it wrong... No, in the first half of the year, Mrs. Orianna and I often visited Old Neil's house. At that time, there was no piano in the living room. I clearly remember asking him why he remained single. His answer was that he had not met the lady he wanted to marry..."

There was no piano in the first half of the year... and he was still answering the question of why he remained single... Klein tensed up and asked in a deep voice, "Roshan, how long have you not been to Old Neil's house?"

"Ever since Coenli became a Night Watchman and Viola chose to leave here and no longer work as a clerical staff, I've been either staying up late or catching up on sleep. How can I have the time to visit other people's homes... Well, starting in early June." Luo Shan was a little confused by the question and could only answer honestly.

Klein's heart sank as he listened, as if he had a premonition of something.

He quickly took out a halfpenny coin from his pocket and held it between his thumb and middle finger.

Taking a deep breath, Klein considered for a moment and quickly finalized the "divination statement."

"Old Neil is not in the right condition right now."

"Old Neil is not in the right condition right now."

…

As he silently recited, his eyes quickly turned dark and he entered a state of meditation.

clang!

He flicked his thumb, causing the brass penny to fly into the air, tumbling and spinning.

Pah! The coin fell and landed right on Klein's open palm.

This time, George III's head is facing upwards.

The avatar represents correctness and affirmation.

This means that Old Neil’s current condition is definitely not right!

Klein held the coin and suddenly remembered the time when he had just been promoted. He quickly mastered his spiritual vision and saw a pair of almost transparent, extremely cold, eyelash-less, and strangely illusory eyes behind Old Neil.

His explanation at the time was that it was a representation of the remnants of ritual magic!

Oh, and I also saw an almost invisible figure in the darkness at the door. The color of his aura was exactly the same as the dim and gloomy surroundings... Also, when I completely digested the "Fortune Teller" potion, I secretly changed the switch of my psychic vision to tapping my teeth. After that, I tried it and casually looked at Old Neil, but he suddenly coughed violently, so hard that it was heartbreaking... Scenes flashed through Klein's mind, making his expression even more solemn.

Luo Shan glanced at him and asked with fear and trepidation:

"Old Neil won't lose control, will he? No, although he is stingy and wants to be reimbursed for everything, he is actually a good person and rarely gets really angry. No, he won't lose control..."

"I can't be sure, but I think Old Neil is just close to losing control." Klein comforted Roshan, quickly walked through the partition, and pushed open the door of the captain's office.

Dunn Smith was drinking coffee when he was startled by the sudden intruder and almost choked himself.

"What happened?" He did not blame Klein, but his expression became very serious.

Klein answered concisely but without hiding anything:

"Captain, I divined that something is wrong with Old Neil."

"Last month Neil Sr. told me that his late wife loved music, but today Roshan said he had remained single."

"Moreover, the day I became a Beyonder, I saw a pair of illusory and strange eyes behind Old Neil, watching everything. There was also a nearly transparent figure spying at the door. He told me that this was a sign of the remnants of ritual magic."

"I felt something was wrong, so I tried divination."

Dunn listened with a serious expression, stood up quickly, walked towards the coat rack, and asked in confusion:

"Why don't you just divine whether Old Neil is out of control?"

"Over the past month, Old Neil has behaved no differently from a normal Beyonder. He even teamed up with me to help Swain eliminate an out-of-control Mandated Punisher. I have also used my clairvoyance to observe the color of his aura several times and found that he is relatively healthy, just a little old. So, I think he is just close to losing control and has shown certain signs. There is still room for recovery." Klein expressed his views in one breath.

Dunn put on a black hat and a knee-length windbreaker, nodded slightly and said:

"That's a very reasonable guess... Let's go visit Old Neil now. Well, try not to irritate him."

"Then, try to control him, use ritual magic to stabilize his condition and curb his deterioration."

Control... When Klein heard this word, an idea suddenly occurred to him:

"Captain, can we use the Sealed Artifact '3-0611'?"

He had just been thinking about how to solve Old Neil's problem and tried to save him, but because he was too flustered, too uneasy, and too worried, he could not find a clue. It was not until he was awakened by Dunn Smith's words that he remembered that there was a seal that could come in handy:

"Number: 0611."

"Name: Quiet Hair."

"Danger level: '3', there is a certain degree of danger, please use with caution, and this can only be applied for operations involving three or more people."

"Secrecy Level: Full member of Nightwatch and above."

"Sealing method: No direct contact with living creatures."

"Description: This is a simple ornament made of many strands of dark black hair."

"As long as it comes into unprotected contact with it, all living creatures will lose all desires and emotions, including but not limited to hunger, anger, sadness, pain, jealousy, envy, hatred, happiness, satisfaction and greed."

"It has been confirmed that the affected creatures will lose the desire to break away from 0611. They will stay quietly where they are until the end of their lives."

"If an external force causes the affected person to break contact with 0611, the former will gradually return to normal. However, experimental data shows that this is only true if the contact time does not exceed two hours."

"Once the exposure time exceeds two hours, the affected person will become silent forever."

"The highest level of experimental subjects is Sequence 5.

“You can avoid direct contact by wearing gloves, etc.”

"These hairs do not possess the characteristics of being alive, and have no tendency to try to escape the seal."

"Addendum: These hairs appeared in an incident of failed promotion. They are the remains of a Nighthawk captain who failed to successfully enter Sequence 6."

After hearing Klein's words, Dunn nodded with deep grey eyes:

"That's a great suggestion. I almost forgot about '3-0611'. You go to the entertainment room to find Luo Yao. I'll go to the Chanis Gate to take out the seal and come back to make the application."

That's the way it should be. We can't waste time! Klein didn't delay and immediately went to the Nighthawks' entertainment room and called out the "Sleepless" Luo Yao, who rarely showed any expression.

"What is the mission?" Luo Yao, whose black hair was as smooth as silk, asked calmly.

Klein exhaled and replied with a heavy voice:

"Visiting old Neil."

"Visiting old Neil...him?" Luo Yao's eyes suddenly widened, and he had a bad guess.

“Not sure yet.” Klein nodded slightly.

Luo Yao didn't say anything else, and the two of them fell into silence at the same time. It seemed as if something was condensing in the air around them and becoming heavy.

After a few minutes, Dunn finally returned from underground.

He was wearing black gloves and grabbing a bunch of tangled black hair.

Compared with the "Mutated Sun Holy Emblem", the "Quiet Hair" has no obvious external abnormalities. If it falls on the road, it will easily be overlooked.

After calling the coachman César, the four of them set out on the journey to old Neil's house.

The wheels rolled over the muddy road where it had just rained, and the interior of the car was quieter than midnight.

After an unknown amount of time, Dunn sighed and said:

"When Old Neil was young, he actually had a lover who was about to get engaged, but she suddenly fell seriously ill and was difficult to treat. Old Neil risked leaking the secrets of the Beyonders and tried to save her with ritual magic, but still failed. At that time, Old Neil was just getting started in the field of mysticism."

"According to records, the Nighthawks at that time were all wary that Old Neil might lose control. Fortunately, he eventually regained his sanity and showed no abnormal behavior."

I hope this is just a false alarm... Klein couldn't help but draw a crimson moon on his chest and prayed in a low voice:

"May the goddess bless him."

Dunn and Luo Yao also followed suit:

"May the goddess bless him."

…………

The sky gradually brightened, the dark clouds completely dissipated, and the Nighthawks' carriage stopped in front of Old Neil's single-family house.

After letting César drive the carriage to hide far away, Dunn calmed down, holding a staff in one hand and the sealed object "3-0611" in the other, and walked towards the main gate with deep gray eyes.

Klein pulled his silk hat down halfway and followed the captain with Luo Yao through the garden planted with roses and golden mint.

After arriving at the door, Klein took a step forward and pulled the rope connected to the bell inside the house.

Ding ding dong!

The clear and pleasant ringtone echoed in the room, breaking the heavy silence.

Ding, ding, dong! Ding, ding, dong! Klein pulled it several times in a row, then politely stepped back and didn't try again.

The three night watchmen waited patiently for a few minutes, but they never heard the sound of anyone opening the door.

"Maybe Old Neil went to see a doctor and is not at home." Klein forced a smile.

Before he finished speaking, a melodious tune suddenly came from the house. It was a wonderful piece of music played by the piano, like a peaceful lake covered with a layer of mist under the moonlight.

Dunn's expression suddenly became extremely serious and solemn, and Klein's heart sank to the bottom.

He was about to do a divination when he suddenly saw a stream of water gushing out from the gap below the main door.

The water was transparent and pure at first, and then it turned red, a blood-red, an extremely rich red.
