Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 3: First Encounter with Klein

Roger made a rough estimate and concluded that this was the moment when Klein was preparing to join the Tingen Night Squad and become a civilian staff member.

He put down his briefcase and sat on the bench across the street. Then, while flipping through the "Tingen City Honest Man" he had just bought, he looked at the gate of the "Blackthorn Security Company" across the street.

Such an ordinary behavior attracted the attention of many people along the way.

"The passive characteristics of the conspicuous bag..." Roger curled his lips secretly.

Although he was born with a slim and handsome appearance after traveling through time, he didn't mind those beautiful ladies and girls looking at him a few more times.

But this "eye-catching" feature seems to be effective against everyone, not just ordinary citizens of all ages, but even those ferocious-looking thugs and gang members are ready to provoke and rob him.

The corners of Roger's mouth twitched slightly. As an extraordinary person, he was not afraid. Instead, he was looking forward to seeing what these people would think if they knew that the opposite side was the headquarters of the National Police Department's Seventh Group.

Just as he was about to turn the pages of the newspaper to the "Tingen Celebrity Anecdotes" section, the door of the "Blackthorn Security Company" opposite finally opened, and a young man with black hair, brown eyes, medium build, thin build, and a distinctly bookish air walked out.

This young man was none other than Zhou Mingrui in the past and Klein Moretti today.

He was wearing cheap clothes, but he walked briskly and looked quite happy.

From this, Roger concluded that Klein had just received a special advance from Mrs. Orianna, approved by Captain Dunn, and was planning to move his family to a new house and improve their lives.

Roger folded the newspaper, picked up his briefcase, clicked the top of his wide-brimmed hat, and walked quickly to Klein.

This abnormal behavior naturally attracted the other party's attention. The other party subconsciously took a step back and looked at him vigilantly.

"What can I do for you?"

Roger smiled warmly and drew a dark holy symbol on his chest:
"Praise the goddess!"

Immediately he said:

"Good morning, distinguished sir. I wonder if you would be interested in supporting the work of our Tingen City Stray Cat Protection Association? For just one penny, the cats can have a full meal."

Tingen Stray Cat Protection Association? What the hell?

Klein frowned. He couldn't recall such an association in Tingen City.

It must be a scam!
He had just received a generous salary, and someone came to ask for money right away. It was hard for him not to suspect that this was some new fraud.

"Sorry, I'm not interested."

Klein shook his head and turned to leave, but was stopped by Roger.

"Don't worry, sir. My family has a motto: 'If everyone gives a little love, the world will become a better place.'

"If you don't mind, could I briefly introduce to you the purpose and operating mechanism of our association?"

Klein was already a little impatient, but when he heard Roger's first words, he was slightly startled and revealed a confused expression.

This seems to be the lyrics of a song on Earth?
Seeing the other party stop, Roger explained to Klein the operation methods and purposes of the animal rescue centers he had seen in his previous life.

In the era of the mysterious world, these ideas are very advanced and highly feasible.

Klein was a cat lover, and his vision far exceeded that of his contemporaries. He even directly promoted the modernization of the civil service examination system of the entire Loen Kingdom.

At this moment, his eyes naturally lit up and he nodded repeatedly, obviously very convinced.

Finally, he actually took out a penny and handed it to Roger.

"Praise the goddess, your association is very forward-thinking. I hope you will continue to do better and better."

He nodded immediately and left quickly amid Roger's thanks.

"Swindling money from the God of Poverty is an unprecedented achievement."

Possessing the ability of divination, he could naturally track Klein's location through the coin tainted with Klein's aura.

Klein hadn't yet become a Beyonder, nor had he mastered the ability to counter divination, which meant Roger could easily find him. After all, he was the future Lord of the Mysteries, and his luck was far superior to that of ordinary people. Most people who befriended Klein ultimately received good rewards.

During this time, he could frequently "encounter" Klein and deepen their relationship.

Maybe, I can even join the Tarot Club like Leonard.

Watching Klein walk away, Roger nodded slightly and walked in the opposite direction.

He found a hotel and booked a room for the week. After having breakfast, he went out again and took a trackless carriage to the vicinity of the "Fortune Telling Club".

Roger wants to become a registered fortune teller.

The primary purpose is to deepen contact with Klein. According to the development of the plot, the latter will definitely come to the Divination Club to work part-time. This is a good opportunity.

On the other hand, he hoped to get in touch with Heinus Vincent.

The little-known true identity of this famous fortune teller in Tingen City is that he is a member of the Aurora Society and a believer in the "True Creator".

The Aurora Society is inextricably linked to the two occult events of the coming of the Son of God and the Antigonus Family Notes, and is the biggest destabilizing factor in Tingen City.

Especially the former, behind which lies the manipulation of Ince Zangwill and the Sealed Artifact 0-08.

Previously, Amon asked Roger to contact the Aurora Society, most likely because he discovered his peculiarity and wanted to see what kind of ripples such an anomaly could stir up in Tingen City.

But whether it is Amon or the Aurora Society, they are entities that Roger cannot afford to provoke at this stage.

Since I can't afford to offend either side, I might as well join both.

Today's goal is to embrace the new support of "Aurora Club"!
As the younger brother of the ancient sun god's son, his seniority is much higher than those gods and saints of the Aurora Society.

Although he can't defeat any of these people at the moment...

"arrive."

Roger glanced at the sign of the Divination Club, walked in and came to the reception desk on the second floor.

"Hello sir, would you like to have your fortune told, or join our club? The membership fee is only 5 pounds."

A beautiful lady with brown hair piled high said enthusiastically.

I certainly won't pay for joining the club...

Roger thought to himself, shook his head, and then said:
"Ma'am, I'm here to make money."

The beautiful lady opposite was stunned, as if she didn't expect the other party to be so frank.

"Do you want to register as the club's rotating fortune teller?" she asked.

After receiving Roger's affirmative answer, the other party did not hesitate and directly took out an interview form and asked about his expertise and expected divination fees.

"Which of your fortune tellers is the most expensive?" Roger asked.

"That's Mr. Heinus Vincent, a famous fortune teller in Tingen and a resident instructor at the club. He's skilled in all kinds of divination and charges 4 soli per session."

"Good, that's it." Roger nodded with satisfaction and responded.

"You want 4 soli too? Are you sure your level can compare with Mr. Vincent?" The receptionist was quite surprised and suspected that she had heard it wrong.

After all, the other person's face looked unfamiliar, and he didn't seem to be a well-known fortune teller.

"No, I'll charge Mr. Vincent twice as much."

Roger's smile was incredibly bright.
