Capítulo 8: Chapter VIII: Dunn got caught peeking?
28
"... That's probably what happened, so now there are two things to do at the same time. One is that Hood Eugen, a member of the Psychology Alchemist, who has gone crazy, and the other is to find the cause of Lady Sharon's death, Captain, which one do we complete first? "
When Klein asked the details, Dun rubbed the corners of his forehead, and thought carefully before speaking: "It will start in the afternoon... It happened to be my turn to monitor the madhouse, we couldn't go directly, and no one knew if there were still members of the Psychology Alchemist hidden among the doctors, nurses, handymen, and patients in the asylum, so we had to be hidden enough... We're sneaking in early tonight. "
"Alright." Klein answered, and then asked uncertainly, "Shall I go alone to investigate Mrs. Sharon's residence?" "
"Aren't you going to learn tracking and surveillance techniques? It's a great opportunity to practice. Dunn said, "It just so happens that your part you were responsible in Lanevus case has ended. "
"Okay..." Klein didn't refuse anymore. Anyway, completing the task will be counted in the performance in the end, and it will not be that difficult to investigate the scene of the murder.
But by the afternoon, Klein felt deeply regretful for his simple thoughts at that time.
"The captain said that the police have cordoned off and protected the scene. He said that as long as I say hello to them and show my ID to enter the investigation. He didn't say that Mr. Maynard's widow and sister hate Mrs. Sharon to the core!"
"Captain can't have forgotten, right?"
With the help of the "Clown's" physical control, Klein climbed over the fence and staggered from the water pipe to the second-floor balcony. Because the scene of the murder was extremely horrifying, they have asked the church for help, the police have erected an improvised partition wall, to ensure no one has seen the crime scene: "They were already suspicious of the death of the councilor, and they were looking around for a private investigator to find out the 'truth', and now they are very grateful to the murderer for brutally killing Mrs. Sharon, and they even used their own connections to put pressure!" "
The police had been replaced by their people, and Klein had been harassed for a long time even if he showed his ID, and he was not allowed to go in to investigate.
Entering the bedroom, Klein gasped. A large amount of blood splattered all over the walls and even on the ceiling. There were traces of drag on the ground, and there were long blood marks left in the corner of the wall where fingers were struggling to escape, combined with the captain's description: limbs were broken, internal organs were hollowed out, and the scene was terrible... Klein couldn't help but retch. Even after a morning of ventilation, the blood in the room was still a bright red, as if it was still flowing.
No, I don't want to touch it with my hands at all... A brief divination did not yield any useful results. Mrs. Sharon's body is also not here, so I am unable to channel. Finally, his gaze fell on the safe in the room. Klein sighed, closed the door and window in discomfort. After confirming that no one was prying inside, he took out the ceremonial silver dagger and infuse it with a bit of spirituality, allowing it to combine with the forces of nature, sealing off the entire room.
He is trying to "summon" himself!
I can't pick locks, but no one knows spirits better than I do!
"Since I am here, let's just do a divination and see if we can find any clues..." Klein took four steps backwards to come into the mysterious space above the gray fog. After pondering for a while, he wrote a divination sentence on the parchment, "There are extraordinary factors in John Maynard's death. "
"There were extraordinary factors in John Maynard's death."
After repeating it seven times, he opened his eyes and looked at the pendulum, his pupils suddently shrank - the citrine pendant was turning clockwise! This means that there is an extraordinary factor in the death of Councilor Maynard!
Klein stared at the slowly calming pendulum, and a huge wave rolled in his heart: "My divination at that time was affected by someone and interfered with ..."
"Lady Sharon is an extraordinary, quite a powerful extraordinary?"
Still reciting it silently seven times, still using the "Pendulum Method", and Klein uses some information related to his current environment and Mrs. Sharon, to complete the divination and see the answer.
The citrine is still spinning clockwise!
Klein gasped softly, and the image that had come to mind when he saw the scene of the killing—a weak and beautiful woman brutally mutilated and killed by a mob—faded away. Lady Sharon is an extraordinary, so only a stronger extraordinary, can kill her without resistance! Once the beyonder element is involved, the nature of this ferocious eucalyptus becomes ambiguous, is it a personal feud between two extraordinary beings, or a confrontation with a hidden organization that is surging in the dark tide of Tingen?
Thinking of this, Klein suddenly felt chills that his body was still at the scene! No one can be sure if the murderer will be watching here!
He didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately left the mysterious space and entered the mysterious safe as fast as he could. He found a picture of a young man in it, and with the premise that "Lady Sharon is a powerful extraordinary", Klein didn't think wildly, and soon realized that the other party was most likely a "witch"!
While groping, Klein was stunned, he found a compartment. After confirming that there was no danger, he got inside, and the visual field reflected ritual ointments, incense and other items, as well as a cracked but not completely shattered white bone statue. It is vaguely a beautiful woman, with eyes on the ends of her hair.

"Having completed all the preparations, Lanevus bewitched Hood Eugen and asked him to help him perform the ritual and use his defrauded fiancée Megose as a carrier to conceive the heir of the 'True Creator'."
"The kind-hearted Ince Zangwill secretly helped Lanevus by divide half of the collected characteristics of the descendants of Death and implanting them in Megose's body a certain amount of time in advance."
"Hood Eugen put Megoos into a semi-coma state, and under the nourishment of the days and nights of resentment in the factory area, catalyzed by the actual darkness and depression, the ritual succeeded. Megose became pregnant with the child of the "True Creator". This God saw the coincidence of the matter, but 'He' did not refuse, hoping to break through the blockade of the Seven Gods. "
After the success of the ceremony, the mad Lanevus came back to his senses, if the heir of the God was born successfully, then he would become one of the sacrifices. How could a mortal become the father of the heir of the God? This is great blasphemy!"
"He tried to escape and received a death warning in his dream that night."
"Lanevus has no choice but to stay in Tingen, but he wanted to inform the Nighthawks, the Punishers, and the Mechanical Heart about the 'bomb' so that they can solve the consequences for themselves, and madness always has to pay a price."
...
"... Aurora members Hanass Vincent and Sirius Arepis were all killed before they could get the word out. It took about a week for Mr. Z, who was far away in another city, to find out that his subordinates had been killed. And when he realized that the mission had almost failed, he had to take time out of his own affairs, return to Tingen as quickly as possible to investigate, and then write a letter to report the Aurora Order. "
"It's a pity that the sophisticated postman in charge of the area where he is temporarily staying has just taken a leave of absence due to illness and has been replaced by a new man who is not familiar with the streets here, and the letters he placed in the mailbox was forgotten by everyone."
...
"After a month, the Aurora Order finally realized the problem."
"On the night of September 3, the messenger of the "True Creator" came."
"It's the Angel of the Abyss! It seems that the God attaches great importance to his divine descent. 'His' presence will undoubtedly exacerbate the dark tide of chaos beneath the calm surface of Tingen. Coincidentally, 'he' expected to appear near a house with a red chimney via a spiritual teleportation, which happened to be.... "
"It happens to be not the one where Ince Zangwill is hiding. 'He' didn't have a target to look for, so he prepared to patrol the city."
(The second sentence is blacked out entirely)
"Just then, Lady Sharon came out of her lover's house, and she had been in a happy and exuberant mood for the last few days after successfully killing John Maynard. So, she invited His Highness the Abyss Angel, not knowing that what she was seeking was devil's favor. "
"It's reasonable that she's letting her guard down for successfully completing her mission. This is reasonable everyone has moments like this. The Abyss Angel received the Blood Sacrifice, 'he' was in a good mood, and decided-"
(The text is then covered with a puddle of ink, mixed with mottled bloodstains, and the pages are stained with a few pieces of minced meat, and the original text cannot be read clearly)
"... 'He' was satisfied with the sacrifice, and therefore did not heed the offensive actions of the audacious Ince Zangwill. Praised 'him'. "
"Ince Zangwill's plans continue."

Dunn receives a report from Klein in the evening, learning that Lady Sharon is a member of the "Demoness Cult" and that the Fallen Evil God statue is located in the safe. He didn't dare to neglect, and quickly wrote a report about this matter to report to the higher-level personnel. In the early hours of the morning, Dunn and Klein "visited" Hood Eugen in the asylum and dealt with the psychiatrist who had lost almost out of control.
In the middle of the night, he walked and stopped in the huge dreams of all the sleeping people in the city, eating and drinking to act as a "Nightmare". Klein received a lot of mental shock in the afternoon, so Dunn thoughtfully did not disturb the other party's dreams, leaving a wish for good sleep.
He slowly circled around and came to the window of an inn in the center of the city, observing the visitors for any suspicious people. As he walked to the third floor, Dunn found a gentleman with brown-haired, tortoise-rimmed glasses sitting alone reading a book with misty eyes. There were delicate snacks, hot black tea and milk on the table.
So, he knocked on the door, walked in, and swept away all the food on the three counts of snack shelves, and had an impeccable and perfect afternoon tea in the middle of the night. Dunn enjoyed the "treat" and took off his hat before leaving, making a brief salute to the dream's owner.
But when he went to the entrance and pushed the door to leave, the hem of his trench coat that shook when he turned around scraped off a gray felt-covered notebook that was placed on the shelf at the door. The notebook fell to the ground with a click, and the notes and excerpts inside fell out one after another.
Dunn hesitated, knowing that this was just a dream world, he turned around, apologized to the brown-haired gentleman, and then half-crouched down on the stall to pick up the book's scattered notes.
He didn't notice that the dream owner's smile slowly faded.
At this time, he found that the notebook was covered with dense and distorted text, and it only took one glance to know that it must be Roselle's text. I didn't think that this gentleman actually had Roselle's notes in his dream world, could it be that he was also a lover of occultism? Thinking of Klein, who was also very interested in Roselle's notes, Dunn couldn't help but smile, and then—his smile froze at the corners of his mouth.
This notebook is annotated and translated.
Several pages of paper were scattered with translations attached, and a piece of label paper was clamped directly below each Roselle text, on which the words were translated in print-like standard Loen.
[... The key to potions is not mastery, but digestion! It's not to dig, it's to play! And the name of the potion is not only a core symbol, but also a concrete image, and it is also the "key" to digestion!"
"It turns out that there are such secrets hidden in potions and paths... In this way it can be interchangeable in sequence 4, there is the "Sleepless" pathway and the "Corpse collector" pathway. Well, the church's "Savant" pathway and "Mystery Pryer" pathway can also be substituted for each other in the higher sequences."]
"Playing method"? and Pathways are interchangeable, is this... Dunn's pupils shrank to the size of a pinpoint in an instant, and he suddenly remembered something, thinking of the "safe way to master potions from the Code of the Seer" that Klein told everyone, thinking of the escaped archbishop Ince Zangwill, who failed to promote Sequence 4, and thinking of the ashes of St. Selena, the holy relic behind Chanis's Gate. He felt as if a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and the chaos that had been clueless all this time was cracked like lightning, but he didn't have time to grab it, and the few pages in his hand disappeared in an instant.
"... I was ready to let you go, Mr. 'Nightmare'. "
The middle-aged gentleman sitting on the single sofa somehow put down the book in his hand and looked at him with tender, sympathetic eyes.
Dunn's head thumped.
Can't open the Spiritual vision! Can't open the Spiritual vision!!
Come on! No, no! If I don't run away, I will die. I will undoubtedly die if I stay here! I can't move an inch!, there's nowhere to run!!
What is this?! Why does Tingen have such a thing?! I'm going to die, but I'm going to find a way to get the message across—
Dunn felt an endless fear of death in his gaze, unable to escape against his flesh's instincts. He leave the dream world immediately, but behind the glassy shattered dream world was not his bedroom, but a deep black secret realm: under his feet seemed to be a mountain made of huge corpses of monsters, the pitch-black sea at the foot of the mountain lapped blood-red waves on the cliffs, and at the end of the field of vision was a liquid black mist that seemed to cover the world.
Centered on the sofa, the deep darkness that spread engulfed everything.
The gentleman smiled and asked him, "But why do you want to die?" "

[Original Author Tianxu Aurora's Notes: * Investigator Dunn casually rolls some dice, and the dice are a great success of the investigation, attracting the unpleasant gaze of the evil god.
* Presumably, at this time, everyone should be more or less aware of what kind of God Edward (the Monarch of Decay) is, so he will not be at the Tarot Club. If "he" goes up with this kind of chaotic evil mind of "his", the first thing "he" will do is to remember the familiarity of all the people, and then confirm whether the "Fool" is actually Celestial Worthy, once he realizes that the fool is not him, he will try to control the sefirah castle and kill everyone according to the image in his memory, so that no one on the earth can become the Lord of Mysteries until the end of the world.]
