After Klein's explanation and comfort, Allen felt relieved and planned to observe for a few more days to see if he would do similar things again.
After sending the famous surgeon out the door with a smile, Klein's expression suddenly became solemn, as if he was thinking about something.
There was nothing wrong with his interpretation of the dream just now. The dark tower, the numerous walls and gates, and the giant silver snake did symbolize Will Auceptin's situation of being threatened by something, and the child's fear and helplessness, as he tried to hide behind layers of protection.
But the key point is that this is most likely not a revelation that Dr. Allen obtained spiritually on his own, otherwise he would not have waited until last night, until he found the paper cranes, to have such a dream. A similar development should have occurred long before Will Auceptin was discharged from the hospital, long before he noticed something strange in his spiritual unconscious.
Therefore, Klein suspected that this dream was instilled into Dr. Allen by someone else, and the medium was the thousand paper cranes!
Klein used his "clairvoyance" to carefully observe the handicraft, but did not find any spiritual aura in it. However, his inspiration and intuition told him that there was something wonderful about the paper crane, and that it might involve the most illusory, most unpredictable, and most awe-inspiring fate.
That kid named Will Auceptin is not a simple person... It seems that the magic is probably not the tarot cards, but himself... The silver-white giant snake is a symbol of danger, and this matter is related to factors such as bad luck and luck. Could it represent the "Mercury Snake", the sequence of the "Monster" path, "Mercury Snake"? Klein's thoughts diverged, but he couldn't be sure of anything.
He turned to analyzing how dreams are instilled.
With Klein's current attainments in mysticism, this was not something too complicated or difficult to understand, and he quickly came up with an idea:
“First, we can rule out the influence of the vengeful ghost. That would dye Dr. Allen’s aura a lighter or darker shade of dark green, and I didn’t notice any signs of this just now.
"There are roughly two ways to indoctrinate the dreamer so that he does not experience abnormal situations. One is to use a Beyonder ability similar to Nightmare, like the captain, to achieve the goal through guidance, and one cannot get too deeply involved, otherwise it will also leave traces. The other is more ingenious and advanced.
"The principle of dreams is that the astral body travels through the spirit world, allowing certain details that are usually noticed unconsciously to be transformed into revelations with symbolic meanings under external stimulation, or directly obtain some revelations related to itself from the outside, and then tell them to the spiritual body, tell its own spirit body, and because the owner is in a sleeping state, this will appear in the form of a dream.
“So the second method is to instill it through the spirit world!
"First, use some magical means to create the revelation you need, and then let the target's astral body naturally obtain it while traveling in the spirit world, and feedback it back. In this way, the target can dream of the scene that others want him to dream of, and there will be no external traces.
"This is something I cannot do at the moment. Even if I can slightly leverage the power of the gray fog, I cannot do it."
Klein paused for a moment and added a possible guess:
Dr. Allen was given a hint through a thousand paper cranes that once he found it, he would have the corresponding dream.
This is easy to confirm. As long as I use "psychic magic" on Dr. Allen, I should be able to find the corresponding traces... But, would it be unkind to use "psychic magic" on him? Or borrow the "Heart Nightmare Candle" from Father Utravsky? No, it was the vampire, the fanatical puppet enthusiast Emlyn White, who recognized my identity, not the muscular, giant-like Father Utravsky... Klein withdrew his thoughts and considered what to do next.
He decided to wait and divine the degree of danger above the gray fog. If it was acceptable, he would sneak into Dr. Allen's house tonight and use the "dream spell" and other means to observe secretly to see whether the source of the dream was a direct guidance or an indirect forgery.
However, with Klein's strength and level, it was quite difficult to find traces of the latter, and he himself did not have much confidence.
This does not mean that by sitting next to Dr. Allen and meditating, the astral body can travel in the same spiritual world with him. This requires sufficient positioning.
According to the description in "The Book of Secrets", the existence of the spiritual world is quite wonderful. It completely overlaps with the real world, so everyone can get inspiration from the spiritual world at any time, but there is no distinction between up and down, left and right in the spiritual world. The past, future and present may all intersect here. It is like a strange ocean formed by the compression of countless knowledge, countless information and countless illusory spirits. It is completely different from the "world" in normal concepts and normal logic.
Because of this, the revelations obtained from the spiritual world can only be various symbols rather than direct answers. Because of this, which part of the spiritual world each person's astral body will travel to is not only related to the location and time of the body, but also closely related to the current state of the body and mind. Without a corresponding positioning method, it is impossible to successfully lock and find someone's astral body in the spiritual world, even if you are right next to the other person.
It is also because of this that the astral body's travels in the spirit world are limited and it dares not go too deep. Once it gets lost and cannot return to the body, the owner will become an idiot, or in more serious cases, a vegetable.
And if you want to enter the spirit world with your body as well and use it as a springboard to complete the teleportation, it is even more difficult. If you are not careful, you will get lost and will never be able to return to the real world until you rot and die.
Huh… Klein let out a breath and temporarily put the problem behind him.
He took out his pocket watch, checked the time, and found that he had been thinking for too long. His breakfast had gone cold, and reporter Mike had not arrived yet. This meant that the commission would most likely be postponed for a day.
In the spirit of not wasting anything, Klein ate the remaining food, then went above the gray fog to do a divination. He was surprised to get the revelation that there was no danger at all.
After doing all this, the agreed time had already passed. He no longer hesitated, put on a heavy jacket, put on a baseball cap, picked up a vocabulary book, and left No. 5 Minsk Street.
His original plan was to find an opportunity to give old Khloe some hints while accompanying Mike Joseph to the East End for an interview, asking him not to mention his promise to help Liv find her daughter.
As for Liv's family, it was old Khloe who went to remind them.
Now that Mike had postponed the matter for a day, Klein was more relaxed and no longer worried about mistakes or accidents.
…………
Combining the address mentioned by Old Kohler, Klein went deep into the East District according to the revelation obtained by divination. Under the gazes of those who were either vigilant or alert, or numb or greedy, he found the room on the third floor.
There were two bunk beds here, with some worn-out mattresses on the floor, and every empty space was filled with miscellaneous items.
Klein looked directly at the lower bunk of the bunk bed at the innermost side and shouted:
"Old Kohler."
Suddenly, Old Kohler turned over and sat up, leaning towards the door in surprise:
"As expected, you are here. After I sent you the letter yesterday, I guessed that you would come to see me today, so I didn't go to the dock and waited at home."
Well, I don’t need to think about how to make up a lie to explain why I came here to find you... Klein looked around and said:
"Old Kohler, with your current income, you can definitely rent a better room and move to a better place. Why did you just change from sleeping on the floor to a bunk bed?"
"Most of that money is to help you gather information." Old Kohler smiled and said, "Besides, I'm not getting any younger. I need to save some money for when my body becomes completely weak in the future."
Klein was silent for two seconds and said:
"You can consider buying some insurance, such as the 'elderly assistance insurance', which can allow you to receive money every week to at least fill your stomach and sleep in a room when you are really old."
The insurance industry in this world had its roots in the Fourth Epoch. After being promoted by Emperor Roselle, it is now relatively mature. It mainly includes various insurances related to maritime trade, fire insurance, injury insurance, pension insurance under different names, etc., which are generally concentrated on the wealthy and the middle class.
"I know this. When I was a worker, I paid 3 pence in insurance premiums every week, but then I lost my income..." Old Kohler sighed.
His biggest problem now is his unstable income. He doesn't know when the informant fees from the detective will stop.
Klein couldn't promise anything, so he pointed outside and said:
"Let's go to Liv's house and return the vocabulary book to the girl."
After leaving the room, Klein casually said:
"This is really ridiculous. I just said I would volunteer to help find Daisy the day before yesterday, but she was sent back by the police yesterday. Don't mention this matter in the future. I don't want to be laughed at."
"Okay." Old Kohler agreed first, and then said, "No one will laugh at your kindness and goodness."
After walking through the dirty streets, the two arrived at Liv's house. Klein saw the girl who had just been rescued start ironing clothes again, which could burn her at any time. He saw the clothes hanging here hanging down, dripping with water, which was no different from before. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Daisy," he called out after a moment, "your vocabulary book."
Daisy's eyes lit up, but she couldn't leave. She worked for a while before stopping and came to the door, saying "thank you" repeatedly.
After Liv and Freya put down their work and came over to express their gratitude, Klein repeated what he had just said to Old Kohler.
After getting a positive answer, he took out the 2 pounds of change he had prepared long ago and handed it to Liv:
"Tomorrow a reporter will come to interview Daisy. This is the payment he gave her in advance. But don't mention it in front of him, otherwise it will be difficult to handle many things. Haha, he might give more tomorrow, but not this much."
"Well, no, I'm willing to expose the bad guy's evil deeds for free!" Daisy shook her head violently.
Klein laughed:
"These are the rules. You can't break them. Do you understand?"
He turned to look at Liv and said:
“Take it.
"You're right. Only when Daisy and Freya know more words and learn more things can you get out of your current situation."
He had planned to say a lot of things, including suggesting that Liv and her family move to the edge of the East Side, because customers who could afford to hire someone to do their laundry wouldn't live in the East Side anyway, but in the end he didn't mention anything.
He originally planned to give the other party more help, but he still restrained his behavior.
There are more than a few thousand people like Liv's family in the East District, there are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions. If a single individual wants to help them, even a big banker, it won't make much of a splash. And this is just the East District. Above it is the entire Backlund and the Kingdom of Loen.
"...Thank you. Please thank the reporter for me." Liv was silent for a while and accepted the money.
Klein didn't stay long and left in a hurry, as if there was a ghost hiding here that would devour his soul.
After walking outside with Old Kohler, he looked back, suddenly exhaled, and whispered:
"There has never been a savior..."
