There is danger, not too high, not too low...
This means that Mrs. Sharon is still in the house and has not escaped...
Klein was stunned for a moment, then he figured out the reason:
He "summoned" himself to transform into a peculiar spirit to search the safe and the compartments inside. He did not force the lock open, nor did he touch any hidden mechanical devices or anything else. Therefore, it was normal for Mrs. Sharon not to realize that her secret had been discovered. She would only think that it was a thief who broke into the house, or a private detective who accepted a commission and sneaked in to investigate but found nothing.
In this situation, it was reasonable and logical for her to not be vigilant enough and continue to stay at home.
She lost her temper and overreacted when she encountered a slight situation. She was unlike the Madam Sharon that Klein knew. She was a socialite who could calmly pretend to be scared and pitiful. She was a member of the witch sect who had hidden her Beyonder identity for many years.
If the telephone had been invented, Mrs. Sharon would definitely call one of her lovers to act like a spoiled child, complain about the public security in Tingen City, and hint at Mrs. Maynard... Klein imagined a play and told Dunn and Coenley the results and guesses of his divination.
"This is the most realistic inference." Dunn lowered his silk hat and looked at Mrs. Sharon's second-floor building with deep gray eyes. "Let's not rush in."
"Why?" Coenli, who was holding the sealed object "3-0217", asked subconsciously.
He was full of fear of the "Psychic Mirror" in his hand, always afraid that something unexpected would happen to this sealed object.
Dunn put on black gloves, glanced at Klein and said:
"Remember the hunt for the 'instigator' Triss?"
“Remember.” Klein pondered for a few seconds and said, “She seemed to have noticed our approach in advance, so she responded in time and successfully escaped.”
I still remember that when I answered the captain's question afterwards, I proposed the plan of fire coverage. This is the most reliable and safest method, but it won't work this time. It can't be adopted because there are still many innocent servants in Madam Sharon's house... If we notify them in advance and ask them to evacuate in time, it will inevitably disturb Madam Sharon. According to Leonard, Triss can become invisible, so we must assume that Madam Sharon also has similar extraordinary abilities... Klein suddenly thought of a lot of things.
Dunn looked up at the crimson moon in the sky and said:
"Very good, your answer is very good, and your intuition in this situation is quite sharp."
"We can't rush in and alert Madam Sharon. I'll try to drag her into a dream from a distance. If successful, you and Ke Enli will go in and subdue her. Um... you can decide for yourself whether to kill her. If you can't control her, get rid of her. Your own safety is the most important thing."
Captain, whenever a critical moment comes, your thinking is always so clear! I'm waiting for you to say this! Klein secretly praised him.
During the two months of getting along, he had almost figured out the characteristics of each of Dunn, Leonard, Frye and others through casual conversations. Among them, as "Nightmare", Dunn Smith could freely enter and exit the dreams of every sleeping person in the entire Tingen city at home or in the Blackthorn Security Company.
Klein did not ask in detail about the specific method used, as it involved the secrets of each sequence.
The situation of directly dragging someone into a dream is limited in scope and often only occurs in a head-on confrontation.
But Klein had heard from the captain that it was not necessary to be face to face to try this extraordinary ability. It could achieve a certain effect within a distance of 100 meters. It just took time and a process, and it couldn't be completed all at once, just like coaxing a child to sleep.
At this moment, Dunn was going to "long-distance" drag Madam Sharon into the dream little by little, complete the initial control, and create the best situation for Klein and Cornelia.
"Okay." Coenley also agreed with the captain's plan.
Without further ado, Dunn found a corner to lean against, closed his eyes, clasped his hands, and lowered his head. His black knee-length windbreaker and half-high silk hat seemed to blend into the night.
…………
Luxurious and gorgeous bedroom.
Mrs. Sharon was lying in a comfortable rocking chair, naked, with her fair and outstanding figure completely exposed to the air.
She would occasionally turn her head to glance at the full-length mirror, admiring her seductive self.
As she looked, her cheeks turned rosy, tears seemed to be dripping from her eyes, and her blurred expression revealed a strange kind of loving kindness.
The skeleton statue was placed on the table beside her. Her long hair, as thick as a snake, seemed to become soft in the warm light and pink atmosphere.
Gradually, Mrs. Sharon looked at the full-length mirror less and less frequently, her head nodding and her eyelids drooping uncontrollably.
…………
As time passed, Klein suddenly thought of one thing: how should the captain inform himself and Coenley in time after dragging Madam Sharon into the dream?
As long as he gets out of the "nightmare" state, Madam Sharon will wake up and be alerted to something happening... I wonder if the captain can give us gestures while dreaming? Klein looked at the restless Cornelius pacing back and forth, intending to discuss this matter with him to divert his attention.
At this moment, his mind suddenly became dazed, and he saw a huge crimson moon, and under the moon, he saw the captain Dunn Smith wearing a black knee-length windbreaker, and he saw the dazed, short-statured Coenley.
Klein suddenly realized that he was dreaming!
I was dragged into a dream by the captain... I didn't know it was possible to notify him this way... He wanted to cover his face, but he could only remain in a confused and sleepwalking state, and said stupidly:
"team leader?"
Dunn nodded slightly and said:
"Mrs. Sharon has entered the dream state. You can act now."
After saying this, he emphasized again:
“Remember, you must be careful enough and not be reckless…it is better to miss than to take a risk.”
As soon as he finished speaking, what Klein saw in front of him suddenly shattered into pieces, and Dunn Smith, who was leaning against the wall with his head buried and his fists clenched, appeared in his sight again.
On the other side, Coenley, who had stopped pacing at some point, also opened his eyes.
The two looked at each other, nodded to each other, and entered the state of executing the task at the same time.
Although this was the first time that Cornley had encountered a dangerous mission, he was more experienced than Klein and had participated in many formal operations. He quickly adjusted himself and became calm and sharp.
Of course, this is also due to the bonus factor of darkness for the "Sleepless Ones", which is one of the reasons why Dunn asked Cohenly to come instead of Frye.
“Let’s go.” As Sequence 8, Klein took the lead and signaled his teammates to follow him.
Cohen Li did not object. He held the mirror wrapped in thick black cloth tightly, walked lightly, and began to follow.
Klein led him to the place where he had climbed over the wall before. He stretched out his hands, grabbed the gaps and protrusions, and climbed to the top of the wall in two or three steps.
He maintained an exaggerated balance, turned his body, bent down, reached out his hand, and steadily caught the "Psychic Mirror" thrown by Cohenli.
As soon as it touched, Klein's inspiration suddenly tightened, as if the black cloth was not a mirror, but a door leading to a dangerous and strange world.
As expected, every magical item that needs to be sealed has an evil side... Klein sighed to himself and watched as Coenley climbed up using his hands and feet.
In order to facilitate movement, Cornley placed the cane next to Dunn, and Klein did not dwell on it any more.
He walked through the garden and came to the side of the house. Just like before, he followed the water pipe and climbed up to the balcony on the second floor.
Then, he almost instinctively hooked his feet together, hung his body upside down, and once again took the sealed object "3-0271".
Cohenli glanced at it in slight surprise, then nodded in understanding.
At this moment, Klein himself was startled. He exerted force on his waist and back, and with his left hand, he easily flipped up again.
"What happened just now? Why can I make such a move? It feels like instinct... Is this the ability of the 'Joker'?" He recalled what happened just now and felt that in practice, he had better brought out the characteristics of the "Joker".
When Cornelius climbed up just as easily, Klein returned the Psychic's Mirror to him and opened the unlocked balcony door.
Cohen carefully untied the black cloth that sealed object "3-0271" and let it face down, reflecting the floor tiles.
Not aiming at yourself or your teammates is one of the rules of using the Psychic Mirror!
After stuffing the black cloth in place and pulling out the revolver, Cohenli followed behind Klein, walking lightly across the corridor and arriving at the door of Madam Sharon's bedroom.
Klein held the pistol with the cylinder adjusted, activated his spiritual vision, and reached for the door handle with his left hand.
He remembered that the previous divination result indicated danger, so he did not dare to be careless at all.
The reason why he didn't do another quick divination on the spot was because he knew that there was the evil statue of the original demon goddess in the room. Being so close to her, he would definitely be disturbed. Without the obstruction of the gray fog, it would be impossible for him to get the correct and clear answer. And Coenley was right next to him, so he couldn't enter that mysterious space.
The door opened silently, and the warm light of the gas lamp was reflected in the eyes of Klein and Kornley.
Then they saw Mrs. Sharon sitting on the recliner and saw her sexy body.
Mrs. Sharon was not asleep. She was leaning there with a faint smile on her lips, looking at the two guests who had come to visit her rashly.
Subconsciously, Cornley turned his palm over and used the "psychic's mirror" to shine on Mrs. Sharon.
Klein was startled at first, then blurted out:
"don't want!"
He remembered clearly that there should have been a full-length mirror on the other side of the recliner, but now, he didn't see it!
In just a moment's time, the "Psychic's Mirror" had already locked onto Mrs. Sharon.
However, Mrs. Sharon suddenly blurred and turned into a full-length mirror.
Cohen Li saw himself in the mirror, and also saw the sealed object "3-0271" in the mirror, and saw that it was reflecting himself.
A figure instantly emerged in the "Mirror of the Psychic". It was the expressionless, cold and silent Cohen himself!
Klein's hands and feet tensed up at the same time, as if he was entangled by countless invisible threads.
The graceful outline was outlined inch by inch beside the full-length mirror, and Mrs. Sharon, wearing a nightgown, stood out.
She glanced at the two of them and chuckled:
"If the statue hadn't happened to be next to me, I would have been sleeping and waiting for you to wake me up with a kiss."
At this moment, Klein suddenly spoke in a low voice, uttering a word in ancient Hermetic language:
"Scarlet!"
He didn't know when he put his left hand into his pocket, and with his fingers flexibly flipping, he easily pushed out the "Sleeping Talisman".
