Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 103 Klein wants to divine a certain evil spirit

Let’s put the idea of ​​the transformation device aside for now, mainly because Sta doesn’t have the ability to do so in the short term.

He just needs to make a cameo appearance on the card.

What Xiao Ke needs now may be knowledge of Giant language.

Holding the pen, he began to write in another notebook.

Not only Xiao Ke needs it, but Star himself also lacks in the field of language.

Now he has the learning ability of a "player". As long as he finds a suitable reference book, he can quickly master a language.

Or find a guide.

Picking up the contents of the notebook, Star looked at the occult knowledge he had just gained from communicating with Miss Messenger.

Isn't Miss Messenger going to make a guest appearance? As a narrator, it is reasonable for Nasta to ask for information about spiritual creatures.

The messenger lady herself has her own castle in the spirit world, and she also knows about many spirit creatures.

This is one of them:

“‘The Rabbit of Knowledge’.

“A weak spiritual creature, friendly to humans, with a natural thirst for knowledge, and rarely refuses a call.

"Different 'Knowledge Rabbits' have certain differences because of the different knowledge they are exposed to. What they have in common is that they are proficient in multiple languages, can speak and write, have good reading skills, can extract key points from a large amount of knowledge, and can copy extremely fast, better than a mechanical typewriter.

I wonder if this rabbit can help me write?

This was Star's first thought after he came into contact with the information about the "Knowledge Rabbit", but he quickly gave it up.

Because according to the description of the messenger lady, this spiritual creature seems to be dull and sometimes cannot understand human language.

But it doesn't matter. Star just wants this rabbit to help him translate some languages ​​and present some words and grammar.

The workload is not that big, just compiling a dictionary.

If Xiao Ke needs to learn Giant language, it is not impossible to lend him this dictionary.

Why, by then, Mr. Wheel of Fortune will really become the linguistics enlightenment mentor of the fool.

……

On the other hand, after receiving news from Old Neil and new orders from the captain, Klein decided to outsource the task of tracking Mrs. Sharon to the local gang.

Even though the captain said that he would let Cornelius assist him, the workload would be too heavy if the combat training could not be stopped.

So Klein went to the Hound Tavern, found a gang leader, and paid him 5 pounds to send his men to monitor Mrs. Sharon in turns and record her daily actions.

On the next day, Wednesday evening, Klein received the investigation report provided by the gang leader.

Flipping through the investigation report that relied entirely on pictures and symbols instead of words, Klein felt a sharp pain in his head, and it took him a long time to finish reading.

"Huh, why should I take on this task and not give it to the leisurely poet classmate?"

"Oh, it's to get a hundred pounds for the mission and to repay Star's debt..."

That's okay, just continue paying your debt.

Thinking of the debt he had for the formula, Klein was silent for a long while before he continued to think:

"Oh, by the way, I'm a fortune teller. I can use divination to verify whether Madam Sharon is a Beyonder and whether she has any abnormalities."

Although he couldn't rely on divination for everything, Klein knew that divination was at least a way to eliminate danger.

Following this inspiration, he took out his pendulum and wrote down the divination statement on the paper:

"Mrs. Sharon is an extraordinary person."

Putting the pen away, he untied the pendulum wrapped around his wrist, held it steadily with his left hand, and let the topaz pendant hang where it was about to touch the parchment.

After reciting it silently seven times, his eyes turned darker, and the pendulum in his hand began to rotate slightly, counterclockwise. The answer is no, it seems that Madam Sharon is not a Beyonder.

As expected, Councillor Maynard's wife was too angry. Women's jealousy is really terrible...

However, such an investigation result would certainly not satisfy Congressman Leonard's wife enough to give him the reward, so further investigation is still necessary.

Klein sighed, and suddenly felt that the task of investigating extramarital affairs was really difficult. He advised the captain not to accept such unreasonable tracking commissions in the future.

Of course, generally speaking, this kind of commission can be done by a private detective for a few pounds.

It's impossible that someone in the Nighthawks would be so depraved as to take on a job that's not even worth a week's salary just to make extra money...

According to the gang's investigation report, Mrs. Sharon will go out to attend a party tonight and will not be back until very late.

Maybe, he won't come back and will just spend the night at someone else's house...

This was also a good opportunity for him to enter Mrs. Sharon's house and act as a search officer.

……

"I have no idea. This place is completely normal."

On Orsna Street at night, the crimson moon hangs high in the black sky, illuminating the quiet garden.

Klein, who had already searched Mrs. Sharon's house, sighed in confusion.

In addition to the "aphrodisiac used as incense" in Mrs. Sharon's bedroom, there was also a "rabbit" that seemed to be drawn by her herself, which made Klein react.

The rest of the place didn't look like any signs of Extraordinary people living there.

Apart from anything else, they didn’t even have the spiritual materials needed for the ritual magic that Beyonders often performed.

Holding the silver chain and letting the pendulum hang down, Klein ignored the heat brought by the fragrance in the room and entered a state of meditation.

His eyes darkened and he whispered to himself:
"This room has a secret room or hidden compartment."

"This room has a secret room or hidden compartment."

……

After seven times, Klein's eye color returned to normal. He looked at the topaz pendant and saw that it was rotating counterclockwise.

This means negation.

So, I was really misled. Maybe Mrs. Sharon attracted criticism and was considered abnormal because she was too beautiful?
Well, maybe there is also the factor of being a mistress...

He did not put away the pendulum and continued divination, because there was still a possibility that Mrs. Sharon was a cultist and would use some crude ritual magic to harm people.

This also means that there is something wrong with Mrs. Sharon.

Just like Miss Justice who I first pulled into the Tarot Club... Klein laughed at himself as he continued to use the pendulum for divination.

But the result of this divination was still negative.

It seems that there is nothing much to worry about... He was about to leave, wondering whether he should do a divination to see if Mrs. Sharon was contaminated by evil gods or evil spirits.

Klein picked up the pendulum and was about to see if she had been secretly contaminated by evil gods or evil spirits.

In a flash, he somehow gave up the idea.

Forget it, let's go back first. Evil spirits and such are impossible at first glance...

When he returned to the outside of Mrs. Sharon's house, Klein suddenly woke up.

No, why would I give up on verifying this divination?

All of a sudden, Klein was about to pick up the pendulum to divine the source of the abnormal things hidden in Madam Sharon's house.
