Chapter 121 Leonard's "Guess"

Hearing Klein and Frye's speculation, Leonard pulled off the collar of his shirt, walked back and forth a few steps:

"Then it is very troublesome to investigate everyone Sols had contacted in the workhouse, and everyone he met after he went bankrupt and was kicked out of the house... Let's hurry up and do a separate investigation here, and then go straight Third death in Ben West, hand the rest over to the police."

"Okay." Klein replied without hesitation.

Frye didn't object either, and turned around to walk towards the few poor people who slept near Sols last night.

Klein was about to find another target when he suddenly saw Leonard winking at him and pointing his chin to the side hall of the workhouse.

What's the meaning? He was confused for a while, pretending that nothing happened, walked half a circle around the mass hall, and then took advantage of Frye's inattention, followed Leonard's footsteps, entered the side hall, passed the partition, and came to a secluded corner.

"I have a guess." Leonard stopped in front of the broken glass window, and said suddenly and directly.

Klein glanced around suspiciously and said, "What guess?"

Leonard asked with deep green eyes:

"Without the influence of extraordinary factors, what do you think Mrs. Lauvis will end up with?"

Klein thought for a moment, and said with a heavy voice: "It's still the same ending, but it will be delayed by a week, two weeks, or a month. For a family like theirs, they will definitely not go until they can't support it." See a doctor, and as soon as heart disease becomes serious, death is likely to come at any time, and there is no room for saving."

"What about Sols? If he hadn't been instigated, what kind of ending would he have?" Leonard asked again.

Klein deliberated and said:

"Judging from the information introduced, Sauls has long been full of resentment about bankruptcy and resentment at not being rescued. I think he will take revenge sooner or later, but the target will not be the rescued, but the boss of the company that caused him to go bankrupt. Bank clerk walking his house."

"What will happen after his revenge?" Leonard asked.

"There is no doubt that he has planned to terminate his own life. Regardless of whether the revenge is successful or not, he will die." Klein answered in the affirmative.

Leonard nodded slightly, revealing his signature frivolous smile:

"Then may I say that both Mrs. Lawvis and Sauls are destined to die in the near future?"

Klein is a "well-informed" keyboard expert. After hearing this question, he immediately had a guess:

"You mean, their deaths were artificially advanced by extraordinary factors? Why is that?"

"A more accurate description is that the 'life' they should have was artificially shortened and stolen by extraordinary factors, and 'life' has always been the best material for summoning evil gods and demons to carry out terrible curses." Leonard The corner of his mouth slightly raised, correcting Klein's guess.

"Summon evil gods and demons, and perform terrible curses..." Klein stared at the other party's green eyes, half questioning and half speculating, "You seem to be very sure? But our investigation samples are only two for the time being..."

Leonard smiled cynically and said: "Klein, there is no need to pretend between us, I have witnessed you get rid of the control of the sealed item '2-049', and I know your specialness, and you should also vaguely feel it. It’s different from ordinary Extraordinary.”

He restrained his smile, met Klein's gaze and said:

"I once told you that there are many special people in this world who can always do things that others cannot, such as you and me."

"This world has a long history. There are one or another kind of magical items. There will always be people who get them, master them, and become the protagonists of different dramas. There will not be too many such people, but it is certainly impossible to have only one or two."

"I don't think Extraordinary who hides secrets are necessarily villains,

They are villains, and they don’t think it is necessary to find out what their specialness comes from, why they behave... As long as your behavior does not endanger me, the Nighthawks and the entire Tingen City, then you are still my teammate, the same, I also hope that you will treat me with a similar attitude. Of course, it is best not to tell the people above this kind of thing. Those guys are old-fashioned and conservative. They always think that special people like us will inevitably lose control and be attacked by evil gods Tempted to fall. "

However, I probably have more secrets than you can imagine... Klein silently muttered to himself, and said frankly:

"I really have such an attitude. I only look at your behavior and purpose, don't care about your specialness, and don't try to pry into your secrets."

After saying this, he silently added in his heart: No, actually, I still care more and am quite curious, but I can only endure it forcibly, um, Leonard thinks he is the protagonist of a drama? What adventures did he get, what magical items did he possess?

Leonard unbuttoned the collar of his shirt, smiled lightly and nodded:

"Glad we reached a consensus."

"In those adventure novels, this is where the two protagonists meet and the wheels of history begin to roll."

shameless! Klein smiled perfunctorily.

He clearly knew that "the wheel of history began to roll forward" came from Emperor Roselle...

At this time, Leonard walked around twice quickly, his green eyes were bright, and the corners of his mouth outlined:

"Okay, let me be frank, I have a lot of confidence in suspecting that the protagonists of these deaths should have died within three months, but they were brought forward to the last two weeks by various means, and the purpose of the other party was to summon evil gods, demons, or cast a terrible, widespread curse."

"If people who show signs of death die early, it's easy to cover up the past. It won't attract the attention of the police department soon, and it won't be destroyed by the Nighthawks, Punishers, and Mechanical Hearts in the preparation stage..." Klein Whispering to himself, analyzing the thoughts of the person behind the scenes, Nader echoed with a smile:

"Yes, if there are healthy and normal people who die suddenly and inexplicably, as long as there are more than three cases, they will definitely be noticed and routinely investigated."

"Then how do we find the altar to hold the ceremony? Whether it is to summon evil gods, demons, or create terrible curses, altars and rituals are needed, and the 'life' that is harvested in advance must have a similar place to store .” Klein believed the other party for the time being, after all, he didn’t find any other clues, so he couldn’t make another judgment.

Try it and it won't matter!

Leonard chuckled twice and said, "Klein, shouldn't this be your field of expertise? Can't you imagine what it would be like around the altar for similar rituals?"

Without waiting for Klein to answer, he first described: "The breath of death is strong, with the altar as the center of the sphere, within a radius of 10 meters, there will be no living creatures except the host of the ceremony...The surrounding temperature is higher than normal." It's at least 5 degrees Celsius lower, and there's a constant cold wind blowing... In the altar sealed by the spiritual wall, there are also the 'lives' taken away by Mrs. Lawvis and others..."

Having said that, he looked at Klein and jokingly said:

"I believe you will be able to divination about the approximate location of the altar with these characteristics."

Klein frowned slightly, and replied in a deep voice:

"As long as it doesn't go beyond the city of Tingen, in addition, I need an absolutely quiet environment where no one disturbs me, such as my home. Well, I also need the belongings of Mrs. Lauvis and others."

At the same time, he murmured in his heart, thinking that Leonard knew too much about this kind of black magic and black witchcraft.

"No problem." Leonard laughed, and suddenly stepped over Klein and walked towards the mass hall, without further ado.

This guy's style of doing things is really unique... Klein cursed, and followed him back the same way.

Finding Frye who was seriously questioning and taking notes, Leonard looked serious and said solemnly:

"I have a guess and plan to let Klein try it."

"What guess?" Frye asked seemingly coldly.

"I'll let you know when I have the results. I don't want to be the object of ridicule by Rosanne and the others." Leonard made an excuse at random and smoothed things over.

Frye didn't ask any more questions, and went to the nearby police station to borrow the belongings of Saul and Mrs. Lawvis as instructed, and then met with his teammates at Klein's house.

"You wait in the living room, don't let anyone disturb me." Klein took out his pocket watch, snapped it open, and glanced at it.

It was close to 6:00, and Melissa could be back anytime.

"You can trust us." Leonard put his hands in his pockets and walked around in the small living room, while Frye sat quietly on the sofa.

Is this guy ADHD? Klein pouted, returned to the bedroom on the second floor, locked the wooden door behind him, and sealed the room with a spiritual wall.

Immediately afterwards, he set up the altar and prayed for the help of the goddess to initially eliminate the interference.

Then, Klein wrote the corresponding "divination statement" on the paper:

"The location of the altar."

The limits he gives are wide enough to avoid mistakes.

Taking the paper and the deceased's belongings, Klein half-lyed on the bed, first recalled the scene described by Leonard, and then silently recited the "divination statement" seven times.

——He didn't try to use the special features above the gray mist to complete it. First, because Leonard, a weird and mysterious guy, is downstairs, and no one knows if he will notice something this time. Second, he belongs to the devil. The "Seer" who is about to digest the medicine, plus the assistance of the ceremony, should be enough.

If there is no result, Klein will consider finding another opportunity to go above the gray fog. After all, summoning evil gods and demons will threaten Benson, Melissa, and himself!

With the help of meditation, he quickly entered the dreamland and "saw" blurred, hazy, illusory, and fragmented scenes.

Soon, a picture appeared in front of his eyes.

It was a two-story gray-blue house bathed in the brilliance of dusk. The windows on the first floor were closed, and the dark curtains showed no gaps, but they swelled and contracted from time to time.

The soil near the house was dark brown, and there was no grass or flower growing, and the surrounding garden seemed to be shadowed, dilapidated and dim.

Not far from this house, there is a river running quietly.

...

After a while, Klein, who didn't see any more pictures, exited the dream.

"Leonard's guess is true... Where will that house be? There are too many places with rivers in Tingen City, such as the southwest of the West District, such as the Dock District, such as the University District..." He opened his eyes and rubbed his eyes. Rubbing his temples, he thought with a rather serious expression.
