Chapter 127: The Past

This, isn't this embarrassing me? Hearing Alan's request, Klein almost drew a crimson moon on his chest, but in the end he resisted the urge and responded very seriously:

"Perhaps some of my performances have misunderstood you."

"But I have to tell you that faith is something that is once decided and never changed."

Allen immediately raised his arms and made an apologetic gesture:

"Sorry, I misunderstood your piety, I shouldn't make fun of your beliefs."

"Okay, differences in beliefs don't prevent us from being friends."

Klein put away the expression he had just pretended, and said with a smile:

"This sentence is not valid in Fusac and Fenepot. They can only accept one kind of belief."

In comparison, since multiple churches have coexisted for more than 1,400 years, Loen and Intis are much more open in this respect.

Before Allen could answer, he changed the subject casually:

"Did you meet Will Auceptin afterward? It was the kid whose leg was amputated and said that your luck would get worse."

He believed that the Nighthawks would definitely follow the clues provided by Alan, so he was a little curious about the ending, whether it was the child or the Tarot card in his hand that changed Alan's fortune.

"No, I haven't seen him since he was discharged from the hospital." Allen shook his head affirmatively.

What a pity, the Nighthawks can find it according to the registered address of the hospital, but I can't intervene rashly... Of course, that child might have moved away long ago... After chatting with Alan for a few words, Klein prepared to go underground Shooting range, familiarize yourself with the attached revolver with ordinary bullets.

At this time, two acquaintances entered the door, one is a member of the Kingdom Air Pollution Investigation Committee, a shareholder of Coim, Mrs. Mary, and the other is Klein's landlord, Mrs. Starling Summer. They are all dressed The relatively light skirt looks a lot younger.

According to the rules of the club, each member can only bring one extra person in, so Mary's maid and specially hired bodyguards were left in the reception hall.

Klein greeted him politely, greeted him, and praised politely:

"Two ladies,

You are as beautiful today as ever, but in a different way than usual. "

Mary, who has been in contact with many important people recently, smiled slightly and said:

"Rosell said that life lies in exercise, but Starling always stays at home and handles those trivial matters. Even if she goes out, she only attends banquets and listens to operas. Her health is much worse than before, so I brought her here Play tennis and squash."

With high cheekbones, she turned her eyes and saw a member of the House of Commons and two members of the Backlund region chatting in the corner, so she turned her head to Starling and said:

"I met an acquaintance, go over and say hello, you can go to the library and wait for me."

"Okay." Compared to Mary, Starling was obviously much prettier, but facing that lady, she seemed quite respectful and docile.

After Mary walked a certain distance, she raised her chin slightly, looked at Klein and said:

"Mr. Moriarty, you seem to be very busy recently?"

"Yes, I was cooperating with many detectives to help the police department investigate the serial murder case. We made certain contributions and received a lot of rewards." Klein replied truthfully.

Starling covered her mouth with her hand and said:

"Really?"

"What did the murderer look like? Why did he kill those ladies? The newspapers are very vague."

"I'm sorry, I must abide by the confidentiality clause." Klein skillfully made an excuse.

I can't tell you that it has black fur all over, a moist and smooth tail, and likes to run on all fours... Klein complained in his heart.

Starling nodded with regret, and then asked curiously:

"Then how much bounty did you get?"

"Many of us shared it together." Klein didn't answer directly.

"Is there 5 pounds?" Starling asked.

"Yes." Klein nodded "honestly".

Starling Somerton suddenly smiled:

"You're paid more than I thought, and you're a capable detective."

"No, such a good thing may not happen every few years." Klein smiled and shook his head.

"No matter what, you have proved your ability." Starling rolled her eyes and said, "Next Sunday, Luke and I will hold a banquet at home, I hope you can come, um, sorry, this Very presumptuous, I will ask my maid to deliver the invitation to you later, hehe, there will be many unmarried ladies attending this banquet, their fathers or mothers have relatively decent jobs, and the annual family income is all within 2 Some of them have part-time jobs that can be done at home, such as typists, and they are all excellent women."

This, this is a blind date party... Mrs. Starling recognized my earning ability as a detective, so she plans to introduce a girl to me who is single? However, in her eyes, I can only match women of this level? Klein flashed through many thoughts in an instant, but considering the need to maintain neighbor relations and the trouble of preparing dinner by himself, he agreed with a smile:

"If there is no emergency, I will attend on time."

Starling smiled and said:

"Then Luke and I look forward to your visit."

She stopped talking, said goodbye and left, and entered the small library of the club, while Klein practiced his extraordinary abilities step by step in a small closed shooting range.

…………

At 9 o'clock in the evening, Klein sat in front of the desk, watching the crimson moon in mid-air gradually penetrate the clouds, revealing a figure that no longer existed.

The light red "tulle" like water slowly swayed away, and the time passed by every minute and every second. When it was a quarter past one o'clock, he heard illusory layers of prayers.

Without distinguishing, Klein could guess that this should be a call for help from Miss Magician.

He quickly closed the curtains, turned off the lights, took four steps backwards, entered above the gray mist, and reached out to touch the crimson stars that were constantly shrinking and expanding.

In an instant, Forsi's hazy figure appeared on the chair with the symbol "layered doors" behind it.

She breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and saluted:

"Dear Mister Fool, you saved me again."

"It's not something to be concerned about." Klein responded in a very light tone.

Forsi was speechless inwardly, and sat down again.

She thought about what happened just now, but didn't speak for a while, and Klein didn't take the initiative to bring up the topic in order to maintain his image.

In the majestic palace that looked like a giant's residence, the silence quickly became the main theme.

When Forsi came back to her senses, she suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a bit oppressive and uncomfortable.

At the party, there are Miss "Justice" and Mister "World", I am not afraid that no one will talk, but now, it is only me and Mr. "Fool", what should I do, I feel a lot of pressure! I have to say something, I have to say something, I can't just sit like a fool... That's Mister Fool! He certainly doesn't care about anything, but I'm very nervous and restrained! Forsi suddenly regained the feeling of being alone with her immediate superior when she first entered the workplace.

Although Klein was not an audience member, he could clearly see Miss "Magician"'s restraint and uneasiness, so he smiled and said:

"Maybe you can talk about how you became a Extraordinary."

For example, how did you get the "Apprentice" formula and that string of bracelets... Klein silently added the real direction of the problem.

Forsi relaxed a little, recalling:

"That was almost three years ago, and I just graduated from Backlund School of Medicine."

"With my father's help, I entered a private clinic with good treatment. Oh, my father has settled in East Balam."

"Ever since the safe passage to the southern continent was discovered, the outstanding young people of the Kingdom began to spread their footprints in every corner there. My father, as a low-level military officer, went to East Balam, chasing wealth and power, And my mother and I were left in Backlund, living a widowed life, hehe, it took several months for a ship to bring a letter from afar."

"This kind of situation is not uncommon in the kingdom. I know an old gentleman who has five children, but either in the archipelago, or in West Balam, in the Pass Valley, in the Haggati Grassland, they have their own career, have their own family and wealth, but forget that there is still a father who is always waiting for their return."

"When I was in grammar school, my mother was seriously ill. I had no choice but to watch her die in the hospital bed. It took a month for my father to reply to my letter and tell me , he already had a new family in East Balam and ushered in a new life. He gave me all of Backlund's property and gave me some extra money. I think he should feel a little guilty of."

As a best-selling author, Forsi has already mastered the skill of rambling.

Klein had nothing to do, quietly listening in, without interjecting.

Phew, Forsi exhaled, and continued:

"In short, my father introduced me to Yousef Clinic through the Retired Officers Club. The salary there is indeed very good. I am doing well, but I am a little anxious about the future. Therefore, I have been working hard to follow those senior doctors. We studied and worked hard to save money until we met an old lady who often came to the doctor."

"She is very lonely, has no children, and her partner passed away ten years ago. I have some sympathy for her, and I often talk to her and chat with her."

"At one point, I was amazed that she could walk through walls, and it opened me up to a new world."

"The old lady said it was her husband's legacy. She vaguely mentioned that as long as she is not from a family, there seems to be no curse."

"Not long after, she became seriously ill and was about to die. She asked me if I would like to be like her. I was very young at the time, and I still had a lot of fantasies in my head, so I agreed without hesitation."

"She gave me the formula, and asked me to guard her body after she died, and take away the luminous items that would suddenly appear, and this is what she gave me, which can be used as the main material of the potion.

"In addition, she gave me this bracelet and told me not to use it until the most dangerous time, and at the same time, not to pay too much attention to the ravings of the full moon."

"Unfortunately, I couldn't escape the danger after all. After using it once, the ravings of the full moon became serious."

It seems that it is the widow of a certain Abraham... She used her own experience to prove that the "curse" only exists in the blood... Klein nodded lightly and said:

"When you become a high-sequence powerhouse, the raving won't have much effect."

"I hope so." Although Forsi did not believe that she could become a high-sequence powerhouse, she believed in Mister Fool.

…………

It was Monday again, just as Klein got up and went downstairs, he saw a piece of paper spread out on the coffee table in the living room, with a short content written on it:

"efficient."

That's good... Klein immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

At 2:45 in the afternoon, he entered above the gray fog on time to "prepare" for a new Tarot meeting.
