Chapter 128: Klein: This is Caution, Not Cowardice
"Klein set out from his home, ready to take a carriage to the Blackthorn Security Company. He wanted to find the trustworthy Captain Dunn Smith to learn about related matters."
"For Ince Zangwill, such an accident was obviously very disadvantageous, but he seemed to have no power to prevent Klein from meeting with Dunn Smith. Could his dark plan be exposed?"
"Oh, poor Ince Zangwill, with his not-so-bright mind, seems to never be able to figure out a solution to this matter."
At this point, the hand holding the pen paused, stopped for several seconds, and then resumed writing:
"Klein got his wish and met with Dunn Smith, who had a not-so-good memory. Faced with Klein's questions, Dunn Smith only concealed something about the ashes of Saint Selena, because of his memory loss, he did not reveal related information to Klein, which was a very reasonable thing."
"Klein, who understood many things, only deepened his speculation about the whole matter. For fear of attracting the attention of Ince Zangwill lurking in the dark, he did not fully express his own speculation."
"Klein decided to investigate Ince Zangwill's affairs on his own. Through divination, he dreamed of a dark red chimney and successfully found Ince Zangwill's hiding place by himself."
"In the end, Klein, a Sequence 9 Diviner who was not good at frontal combat, faced Ince Zangwill, a Sequence 5 Gatekeeper, and was defeated and killed by Ince Zangwill!"
The writing pen paused again, and the pale hand holding the pen finally retracted.
After a while, the pen that no one held wrote another paragraph on the notebook: "Ince Zangwill harbored a murderous intent towards Klein, who frequently encountered accidents. He prepared to take matters into his own hands to eliminate the trouble, so as not to be affected by Klein's influence on his own plan. But could Ince Zangwill's simple and flawed plan really catch a diviner who is good at foreseeing danger?"
…
"My name is Henry, and I am a detective. Not long ago, I received a very strange commission. The client was a young man wearing a mask, who also deliberately deepened his voice. He was very cautious, but his disguise was too clumsy."
"Of course, as a detective who has to make a living by accepting commissions, out of professional ethics, I would not mock the employer's inadequate disguise skills."
"Giving the other party a certain sense of security is also an important point in the transaction."
"The young employer commissioned me to help him find the correct corresponding location from a map. The only conspicuous and identifiable target was the red chimney."
"In Tingen, there are many red chimneys, and there are many that match the approximate location recorded on the map."
"Taking a carriage is expensive, so he could only try to find it by walking as much as possible, which delayed him quite a bit."
"He searched for several days and marked out more than a dozen suspicious points, but he could never find the correct corresponding red chimney, which made him wonder if his luck was too bad? Fortunately, today, his luck seemed to have returned."
"He finally found the correct corresponding red chimney, and the nearby environment also matched the elements on the map one by one."
"He did not choose to delve deeper, after all, the commission he received was just to find the location of the red chimney."
"7 pounds, I should go to my not-so-generous young employer to submit the task and claim my deserved reward."
"Found the red chimney?"
"Klein received the message and rushed to this private detective agency."
"Henry took a puff of smoke and nodded: 'Yes, I've been walking the streets and alleys of Tingen all this time, missing the target several times, but in the end, I still found the place you asked for.'"
"Seeing that the commission had been completed, Klein had to pay the fee of 7 pounds. He expressionlessly pulled out seven 1-pound banknotes from his chest, totaling seven."
"Although he felt that the fee of 7 pounds was a bit high, he would not go back on a deal that had already been agreed upon."
"Leaving the private detective agency, Klein had an additional correct map to the red chimney."
"This was the place he divined that might contain significant secrets, which is why he spent a lot of money to commission the private detective to help."
"Now, the place has been found."
"He felt that he should first go to the nearby area to explore and see if there were any abnormal phenomena."
"Thinking about it, Klein hailed a carriage and prepared to go."
"Halfway there, Klein in the carriage asked the coachman to stop and only paid him half the fare."
"He originally wanted to go and explore on his own, but after careful consideration, acting alone was too unsafe."
"Moreover, he should at least do a divination about the safety of this matter, right?"
"Rashly going to a suspicious place to take risks did not fit his cautious approach."
"He felt it necessary to go home first, do a divination, and then consider this issue."
"Thinking about it, he chose to walk home. Having just spent a large sum of 7 pounds, it was good to save a little money now."
"Back home, Klein closed the door, took off his coat, and untied the yellow crystal pendant from his cuff."
"He took out paper and pen, wrote on a blank sheet of paper: It is very safe to explore the area near the red chimney!" "He held the pendulum with his left hand, letting the pendant hang vertically above the divination sentence on the paper, almost touching."
"Then he calmed his mind, entered meditation, closed his eyes, and began to repeat silently: 'It is very safe to explore the area near the red chimney!'"
"Over and over again, he opened his eyes and looked at the pendulum, only to see the yellow crystal pendant rotating slightly clockwise."
"This was an affirmation."
"The result of the divination indicated that it was very safe for him to explore the area near the red chimney."
"Klein put away the yellow crystal pendant, thought for a while, and murmured: 'This matter may involve Ince Zangwill, it's better to be more careful.'" "He felt it was very necessary to go to the gray fog for divination, where the divination would not be easily affected by extraordinary factors."
"He packed up his things, opened the door to the washroom, locked the door, walked backward four steps, and came to the gray fog."
"In the hazy gray fog, in the majestic and grand temple."
"Klein sat at the top of the bronze long table, with the just-manifested parchment in front of him."
"He picked up the round-bellied fountain pen and wrote the divination sentence on the parchment: It is very safe to investigate the area near the red chimney."
"Holding the pendulum, the pendant hanging vertically, he silently repeated the divination sentence several times, allowing his spirituality to resonate with the powers of the spirit world above all."
"Feeling the silver chain in his hand gently sway, he then opened his eyes and looked at the result of this divination."
"The yellow crystal pendant was rotating counterclockwise, very slowly, as if it was facing a great obstacle."
"This result was completely opposite to the one divined in the real world."
"This allowed him to be sure that if he really went to explore the area near the red chimney by himself, he would definitely encounter danger, and might even die!"
"'That was close, I'm glad I came to the gray fog for another divination.'"
"Klein was grateful for his caution and also more determined that in the future, when facing potentially dangerous situations, he should not take risks lightly."
"Who is interfering with my divination?"
"The defected Archbishop Ince Zangwill?"
"Is he trying to interfere with my divination, thereby luring me near the red chimney, and then killing me?" "Klein quietly pondered, thinking this was the most likely possibility."
"If his guess was true, then it proved that Ince Zangwill, hiding in the dark, had already set his sights on him."
"If this time he failed to lure him to the red chimney, then he would definitely come up with other ways to deal with him."
"This was very bad, he could not always be on guard against Ince Zangwill's schemes, it was better to tell the captain everything, and then let the captain decide."
"It would be best to invite several powerful extraordinaries to thoroughly search Tingen, and if they could catch Ince Zangwill, that would be even better."
"But how should he explain these issues?" "He couldn't just say that he combined the content of the Roselle diary, then guessed that Ince Zangwill might be hiding in Tingen, and was plotting in the dark."
"'What if the captain discovers these issues on his own?'"
"After much thought, Klein made a decision."
"He planned to guide the captain to discover Ince Zangwill's conspiracy, and also find a way to protect himself, so as not to be killed by Ince Zangwill."
"'The red chimney, can't just leave it alone, right?'"
"'I can report to the captain that the red chimney may be related to the Antigonus diary, after all, this thing has an extraordinary connection with me, and it is enough to attract the captain's attention.'"
"'This should be the best solution to this matter.'"
"He did another divination, the divination sentence was: Telling the truth to the captain will put me in great danger."
"The result of the divination was affirmative."
He can understand the results of this divination. If he were Ince Zangwill, he would also have murderous intentions for the additional variables that have been affecting his plans.
"He Very dangerous,"
Klein sighed. Fortunately, he had divined again in the gray fog. This time, the result indicated that if he told everything to Mr. Azik, he would be safe for a short period. Thus, Klein had a plan.
He decided to first inform Mr. Azik of all his speculations. Once he was safe, he would then guide Captain Dunn Smith to uncover Ince Zangwill's conspiracy.
…
The red chimney stood there, inside the room. The pen on the desk in front of the window wrote once more in the notebook:
"Klein's unexpected caution left no opportunity for Ince Zangwill to deal with him. It seemed that through some form of divination, Klein suspected that Ince Zangwill wanted to set a trap to harm him. To ensure his safety, he decided to inform Mr. Azik of everything. This was a very wise choice because Ince Zangwill was afraid of Mr. Azik and could only avoid him."
"Oh, poor Ince Zangwill. He successfully caught the attention of Mr. Azik again and would have to go into hiding once more."
