Chapter 134 Master Luo
Klein invited the visitor into the house and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Irene had disappeared from the living room.
"Inspector Fassin, what brings you here?"
Inspector Fassin, wearing a black and white checkered uniform, took off his hat and said with a serious expression:
"Of course, it's about that matter you were involved in before. I was sent here to tell you to be careful of strangers."
"Okay." Klein nodded solemnly.
"Secondly, there are some other arrangements. Let me explain them to you, and you can make the decision yourself..."
"Um."
Fashin leaned forward slightly, his eyes unconsciously scanning his surroundings.
"You should be well aware that this matter involves troublesome people, so the higher-ups have given you three options."
"First, we'll spend two days at the Church of the Holy Wind. I know you're a believer in the god of steam and machinery, but the Church of the Holy Wind is closer and safer..."
"Um."
Just as Klein was waiting for the other party to give his second option, he suddenly felt his vision blur, his thoughts began to sluggish, and everything around him felt unreal.
This feeling is... 2-049! He instantly recalled the sealed artifact he had encountered in Tingen.
This is a sequence ability in the "Diviner" pathway. Damn it, I let the wolf into the house.
"Give me time, and this is one of the most difficult abilities to deal with below the high sequence level."
The "Fashin" she was looking at had changed his appearance. He had become a black-haired, blue-eyed gentleman with a handsome face and a light beard.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Rosago."
"thump!"
I think I heard someone fall down in the next room.
But just moments later, countless threads burst forth from the room and attacked Rosago, attempting to envelop him.
Rosago did not deliberately dodge, but instead snapped his fingers.
"Snapped!"
A stream of flame quickly spread out, burning all the threads to ashes.
"Witch... I never would have guessed you'd hang out with them."
"Is she your bodyguard or your lover?" Rosago joked, but he didn't expect Klein, who was under his control, to answer his question.
Damn it, my bodyguard, could he have already... no, that's not right... he actually managed to control me, but he didn't kill me, which can only mean that his focus isn't on me at all... Klein tried to think outside the box.
Rosago's focus was on the witch Irene. From the moment he entered the room, he had spotted the witch hiding in the next room and immediately began to manipulate her spiritual threads.
Clearly, Klein posed far less of a threat to him than the witch bodyguard.
The bodyguard shouldn't be... controlled yet... I have to save myself. Klein struggled to rotate his palm and snapped his fingers with difficulty.
"Snap"
In an instant, Klein vanished from Rosago's sight.
Rosago's flames had just ignited some of the surrounding furniture, and Klein used this to perform a "Flame Leap" and teleport to a corner of the living room.
However, his thoughts were still sluggish, which meant that he had not escaped the other party's control.
Without hesitation, he snapped his fingers.
With a "bang!", an air bullet flew towards Rosago's head.
Unfortunately, Klein, in his delayed state, lacked accuracy, and the bullet missed its mark.
"A magician?" Rosago looked surprised.
"This is different from what I divined."
"You must have just been promoted not long ago," Rosago said, looking down at Klein, who could barely stand. "You're lucky, you almost tricked me."
"Goodbye." Just as Rosago was about to retaliate with an air bullet, more threads wrapped around his arm.
"It's no use." Rosago pulled the thread with a slight force. Clearly, he hadn't relaxed his control over the witch Irene for a moment.
Just when he thought victory was assured, Klein seized the moment when he was slightly distracted, took something out of his pocket and threw it at him.
"Light!" he managed to squeeze out the word with all his might.
"What!" Before Rosago could react, a blinding light rushed towards him.
"what!"
……
"Bang bang bang!"
Klein looked at the corpse riddled with bullets and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there was still one "Yangyan" talisman left... He sighed inwardly.
When he first encountered Inszangwill, he used one of his cards, and kept the other on the Gray Fog until this incident, which is why he took it out and used it as his trump card.
I never expected to actually need it.
"What luck! The talisman is still within its expiration date..."
……
After the psychic session ended, Klein began collecting the loot and cleaning up the traces.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Irene appeared in the living room at some point.
"Oh no!"
"It seems to be the power of the solar domain. This talisman wasn't given to you by the organization, was it?" Her tone was light, but it sent a chill down Klein's spine.
"Uh..." Klein's brain started working at high speed. He found himself in the same predicament as Tingen. He couldn't explain the origin of the "Sunfire" spell.
"I say, let's divide the spoils," Irene suddenly suggested.
"Huh?" Klein, who was pondering the reason, was stunned.
"Shouldn't we report this to our superiors?"
"Report? Reporting my inadequate support, or reporting that you're secretly praising the sun?"
"I am not an undercover agent, nor am I a believer in the eternal sun."
"Hehe, I believe everyone has some little secrets." Irene maintained her smile. "I heard that Ambassador Intis seems to have almost finished dealing with it."
"There's chaos over there right now, so I doubt anyone cares about this gentleman."
"Falsa isn't here, so how about we just pretend no one ever came today?"
"This..." Klein hesitated. He understood that Irene wanted to keep the spoils for herself, since if it were reported, these things would definitely be confiscated.
"Okay." After hesitating for a moment, he agreed. After all, this way he wouldn't have to worry about explaining the talisman, and Irene, as an accomplice, wouldn't leak the secret.
Finally, Irene stole a magical item corresponding to the notary, as well as all the money on Rosago's person.
Klein was assigned the "Master of Puppetry" trait, which has a strong light pollution effect.
……
"Detective, I've been waiting for a long time, haven't you found out even a single clue?"
Within the Guild of Truth, Hugh, driven to desperation by Fors's pressure, shifts the burden onto Klein.
"Madam, your request is indeed a bit tricky."
"But believe me, I've found a clue."
"We'll find Lorne Disenke soon." Klein was actually a little embarrassed, as he had almost put his detective work on hold recently because of the ambassador incident.
However, it wouldn't be accurate to say he did nothing. After the Ambassador incident, he used the corrupted Puppet Master properties to successfully create a dummy codenamed "The World," and then commissioned Miss "Justice" to help investigate Lorne Desenk at the Tarot Club.
After much persuasion, Klein finally managed to get rid of Hugh.
But Hugh also expressed hope that Klein would make some substantial progress when she came next time.
"It seems there's no time to wait for Miss Justice; we'll have to resort to divination."
……
"Hugh, you're back." Hugh looked a little puzzled when he saw Fors dressed neatly.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you remember Miss Audrey Hall? She seems to have something to ask of us."
