Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 384 Serial Killer

The investigation into the serial killer case is still ongoing. When Klein returned to the detective agency, Don, who was responsible for contacting other investigators for backup, had already returned.

The weather was starting to get cooler. Klein, who had just returned from outside, took off his coat and handed it to the manservant beside him, asking Tang, "Do you have any leads?"

"Not yet. Our investigators are currently focused on the Aurora Society. While the serial killer case might involve a demon's ascension ceremony, in Backlund, the deaths of a few people are a common occurrence," Tang said helplessly.

This is something that can't be helped. In this city, there are always many things that take priority over the death of a few people.

Unless that demon causes another disturbance, triggers social panic, and is locked down, giving the church and investigators time to deal with it, it will be difficult for official extraordinary organizations to spare the resources to deal with these rats in the gutter, given that there is a true God-child lurking nearby.

"Did you and Detective Stanton get anything out of you?"

"Yes, we looked at the case files, visited several crime scenes, and found many similarities among the victims..."

After exchanging a brief intelligence briefing, Klein and Tang each prepared to rest.

With his work finished for the day, a somewhat exhausted Klein lay down on the bed and fell asleep immediately, confidently entrusting the guard duties to the puppets belonging to Tang and the ritual magic set up in the room.

Tang sat on the bed, not feeling sleepy at all.

One after another, illusory, transparent black lines appeared in his eyes.

Looking at these spiritual threads, Tang muttered to himself:
"For the time being, we can't let Triss Chick get close to Klein. Otherwise, if Klein senses that I'm the problem beforehand, he'll run away..."

Triss Chick, who discovered his problem, should, guided by a misguided spiritual premonition, connect this puppet master with the puppet master they ambushed last time.

Tang once again disguised himself and did not show his true face.

Although his spirituality, extraordinary abilities, and power have been profoundly enhanced, making it difficult for him to be considered a person, spirituality itself is a kind of metaphysical divination method that transcends science.

The spiritual warnings that extraordinary individuals rely on are merely things that can be manipulated at will by those in higher positions.

The incorrect error once again revealed His authority.

This time, Tang did not deliberately hide his whereabouts. If they investigated, it would be easy to find that he came from a detective agency and was an assistant to the great detective Sherlock Moriarty.

Triss Chick should then notice some problems.

"Brooks, did the Primordial Witch come to see you...? No...? That's normal. Chick is always cautious, and with the extraordinary precognitive abilities of that thing in the mirror, it wouldn't be difficult for her to make a prophecy that an unimaginable disaster would befall her if she met me."

"Next... well, stand by and await George III's ascension ceremony. The construction of the mausoleum is quite important in the Black Emperor's ascension ceremony... However, His Majesty will not object to us doing a little something underhanded while providing necessary assistance."

"After all, I think He also detests foolish heirs to the throne."

At another Monday tarot reading, Klein, having finished the reading, rubbed his temples and asked Tang:
"Tang, do you think it's possible for demons to be animals?" Little Sun Derrick offered a new idea: different creatures undergo different mutations after drinking the potion, each with its own characteristics.

The serial killer in Backlund may not necessarily be human; he could also be a supernatural being.

Just like Miss Justice, she also kept an extraordinary animal.

"animal?"

Tang's expression was somewhat strange, but he still nodded. "That's possible. After all, potions have a certain ability to corrode and infect both living beings and non-living things."

“That’s a novel idea. I’ll ask other people; they might know something.”

"OK, all right."

After returning to his room, Klein sat at his desk and carefully considered the main points of the upcoming tarot meeting.

He has created a dummy "world" using Rosago's "All-Black Eye" to protect Mr. Fool's pretentious image.

With the mannequin, many things have become much more convenient. Transactions that were inconvenient to do before can now be carried out, and questions that were previously off-limits can now be asked.

Those in high positions and those in low positions each have their own strengths and weaknesses.

"First, there's the issue of Silver City. I can confirm that Silver City... to be precise, is located on the Eastern Continent. Mr. Flamel can intervene to some extent. This can be seen from the situation described by Silver City and Little Sun, as well as from Mr. Flamel's ambiguous reply."

"Secondly, Silver City seems to have encountered some problems recently. Their explorer team found an abandoned temple, and Lovia, one of the six members of the council, had a problem, but then returned to normal."

"Besides that, there is an ancient god in the Eastern Continent, the Destroyer Wolf Fregra..."

Is this related to the Hornach Mountains? When he was being promoted to a magician, even though he was in Tingen City and had the protection of Mr. Flamel, Klein still heard a faint, indistinct murmur coming from a distant place.

Fregra and Hornakis have close ties with the Diviner's Path, something Klein already knew, though not to the extent that Fregra, the Destroyer Wolf, was one of the ancient gods of the Second Age, a deity from the Eastern Continent.

All official Extraordinary organizations are trying to find the Eastern Continent, but as things stand, no deity other than Mr. Flamel and himself can exert influence there remotely.

"Next, I'll continue to learn about the situation on the Eastern Continent... Mr. Flamel hinted to me before that the more I know, the better; knowledge of security can often provide unimaginable help at times..."

Although he didn't know the specifics, Klein followed his predecessor's guidance and continued down this path.

Having learned of the existence of the "Blasphemy Card," Klein attended the Roselle Memorial Exhibition held at the Kingdom Museum the following day.

On the same day, Tang and Bernard, who was disguised, also went to the Kingdom Museum.
