As Stuart aimed his gun, Klein, who had been on guard, noticed it and fell forward almost at the same time as the other party, falling to the ground.
Bang!
Stuart, who was obviously out of control, pulled the trigger, and the bullet grazed the side of a private detective's face and hit the wall.
Swish, swish, swish, the other detectives responded by pulling out their revolvers, as if everyone was an enemy, and the scene was in chaos.
Among them, Stuart and a private detective had flushed faces, bulging veins, and their eyes were burning with "flames" of fear and anger, as if they had turned into so-called demons.
At this moment, Kaslana growled:
"stop!"
Her voice was not loud, but it was full of majesty, causing everyone present to tremble and unconsciously want to obey.
The scene was quiet for a short while, but everyone's mood did not seem to improve substantially. Klein had already rolled to the other side and stood up, holding his own revolver in his hand.
His thoughts raced, and he no longer cared to keep his secrets to himself, as he planned to use his illusion ability to calm the visitors down.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
Ding ding dong!
Several private detectives suddenly became alert and their eyes became clearer.
The sound of the doorbell was like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads.
Stuart looked at the revolver in his hand and whispered blankly:
"What was I doing..."
The official Beyonder took action? Klein breathed a sigh of relief and approached the gate with his revolver in hand.
As soon as he grasped the handle, the image of the person outside the door naturally appeared in his mind.
That was Isengard Stanton, a man with gray hair, a thin face, wearing a deerstalker hat and a black coat.
The great detective's face was a little pale, and his left arm was padded up near the shoulder.
He is fine! Klein was happy at first, but then he became cautious. He still remembered the incident in which the "Master of Secret Dolls" Rosago disguised himself as a familiar policeman to defraud the door.
Klein kept his finger on the trigger, opened the door, and took two steps back.
Isengard Stanton smiled and nodded to him:
“Thank you for your visit this afternoon, otherwise I might not be able to continue playing hide-and-seek with that devil due to my injury.
"You saved my life."
This... Could it be that the correct interpretation of "It's a good time to visit Isengard Stanton" is that going to see him this afternoon will help him out of danger? What about the "good time to visit" in the next few days? Avoid the murder scene so as not to be suspected? Klein was instantly amused.
He made way without letting down his guard:
"What happened?"
"We'll talk later." Isengard suddenly lowered his voice and laughed, "Do you want to discuss topics related to Beyonders in front of Stuart and the others?"
So you mentioned Beyonders to me so naturally? Yes, I was able to hold my own against the demon dog's master for more than ten minutes, which is enough to prove that I am not an ordinary person... and I also provided consulting advice that deliberately pointed to demonized animals... Klein quietly lagged behind Isengard Stanton by two steps.
As soon as they saw the great detective, Kaslana and her assistant Lydia breathed a sigh of relief, and private detectives such as Stuart also looked relieved.
"Mr. Stanton, are you okay?" they asked.
Isengard moved his left arm slightly and said:
“I got hurt a little bit, but nothing serious.
"Okay, don't be nervous, it will be over soon, the police are waiting for that guy in the darkness nearby."
"Is it because of the serial murder case?"
"Have you identified the suspect?"
“Will he harm innocent people?”
…
The private investigators asked one after another.
Isengard pressed down with his right palm and said:
"Don't worry, I will tell you in detail and truthfully. However, before that, there are a few questions I need to ask Sherlock and Kaslana. Let's go to the living room for a few minutes."
His long-accumulated prestige made the detectives sit down without any rebuttal.
Although they are still not reassured, they are no longer anxious and have no problems with their emotions getting out of control at any time.
After entering the living room and closing the wooden door, Klein glanced at the sealed room and suddenly thought of something:
This environment is perfect for a "biotoxin bottle" type item!
Ahem… Klein cleared his throat, walked to the other side, and opened the glass window.
He still did not relax his vigilance against Isengard Stanton, and did not even think that Kaslana was absolutely trustworthy.
Isengard looked around, took Klein's armchair, and laughed:
“I’m old, but I still like to sit like this.”
Klein sat on the single sofa and asked again:
"Mr. Stanton, what exactly happened?"
Isengard glanced at Kaslana behind the coffee table and said:
"We are all extraordinary people, so I won't explain common sense concepts."
"Extraordinary?" Kaslana first looked at Klein, then at Isengard, a little surprised but not too surprised.
So you are also a Beyonder... How come you were stumped by a weak ghost and didn't even see what the problem was... Well, maybe it's because your sequence is not good at dealing with creatures like shadow ghosts... Klein responded to Kaslana's gaze.
Isengard smiled and said:
“I once went to study in Lenburg for four years, where I came into contact with the extraordinary world and became a believer in the god of knowledge and wisdom.
"After returning to Backlund, I gradually established good relations with the military, the Church of the Goddess of Evernight, and the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, but I still didn't dare to reveal my true identity because the Mandated Punisher would definitely treat me as a cultist and eliminate me. Other official organizations would not directly help me in this matter because that would be equivalent to going to war with the Church of the Lord of Storms.
"As expected of the tyrant's church."
"Tyrant?" Klein asked casually.
Isengard took out his pipe, but just sniffed the tobacco:
“This is what we call the Lord of Storms within our church.
"Okay, let me get back to today's events. The person who attacked me and sent you the threatening letter was the owner of the previous serial killer. Haha, you should know that the killer was a black dog of the 'demon' sequence. Especially Sherlock, you were the first to point out that the demon might be an animal."
Klein smiled, neither denying nor admitting. Kaslana also just clasped her hands together and said nothing.
Isengard immediately shook his head and laughed:
"Don't worry. I'm not a law enforcer. As a believer in the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, I can't preach in Backlund or formally establish an organization. I can only rely on you and people like you for help."
In other words, you can take the blame for us? Klein teased in his mind.
Seeing that they still did not admit it, Isengard continued:
"The owner of that demon dog is a Sequence 5 warrior. Um, as far as I know, the Sequence 5 of the 'Devil' path is called the 'Apostle of Desire', who can exploit and manipulate everyone's emotions and desires to induce them to fall.
"When facing the 'Apostle of Desire', you must not have too strong emotional fluctuations or show too obvious desires, otherwise you will be immediately controlled by him remotely, or the seeds will be planted, or he will directly catalyze you.
"This will expose many problems in people, causing them to gradually degenerate, or make them lose control of their emotions at critical moments and unable to resist... These are only some of the extraordinary abilities of the 'Apostle of Desire'. I confirmed this in my battle with him."
Hearing this, Klein suddenly understood why the other party sent the threatening letter and made provocative actions:
He wanted to irritate himself and make his emotions fluctuate violently, so as to sow the seeds of corruption or catalyze his emotions and make them explode out of control!
This will make his subsequent attacks easy and simple!
Fortunately, I have seen many Beyonders who have experienced many things, so I was only alert and cautious at that time... Stuart and the others should have had obvious emotional changes when they saw the threatening letter, and the seeds were planted by the "Apostle of Desire"...
If they had not been stabilized in time, the situation would have become chaotic from the inside, and the official Beyonders around would not have had time to react, leaving the Apostle of Desire ample opportunity...
I felt that time was slow at Isengard Stanton's house. Was it because the sudden vigilance, tension, and alertness were magnified?
Klein thought back to what happened before and felt relieved.
"So that's how it is..." Kaslana also seemed to understand a lot of things.
Isengard rubbed his forehead and said:
"I was almost manipulated by him and injured. I then used a magical item to play hide-and-seek with him in the house. It wasn't until Sherlock came to visit and a stalemate occurred among the three parties that I had a chance to catch my breath.
"My poor assistant was looking forward to returning to Lenburg to attend mass in the New Year."
Having said that, he let out a long sigh.
"When the police arrived, I took the opportunity to escape, and then used the river to get rid of the pursuit." Isengard added, and then said, "Sherlock, Kaslana, how are you going to deal with it?"
Kaslana was silent for a moment and said:
"Mr. Stanton, what do you suggest?"
Isengard said:
“First accept official protection to prevent the ‘Apostle of Desire’ from taking any action, and hope that he is captured or killed soon.
"If that idea is not realized, the authorities will not be able to send people to protect us all the time. Then we only have two choices. One is to change our own and our family's identities with their help and live in another place, but no one can guarantee that the 'Apostle of Desire' will not find out. The second is to directly join the corresponding official organization and become an external member. This will also involve a change of identity and residence, but it will be safer."
Join the corresponding official organization? Mechanical Heart? Or go to places like Lunburg Masi and join the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom? Wouldn't that make me a believer of three families? Klein felt a sense of absurdity.
He asked thoughtfully:
"Is there no other solution?"
At the same time, Kaslana's expression did not change, and it was unknown what she was thinking.
Isengard Stanton stroked his pipe and said:
"Yes, that is, we should join forces and create opportunities to find and arrest the 'Apostle of Desire' as soon as possible.
"Of course, the most perfect result is to kill him directly."
