Chapter 173 Thinking Blind Spot
According to Klein's experience of watching so many episodes of detective movies and detective animations, people who cover their faces with scarves and coats to cover their body features are probably problematic, and there is a high probability that they are hiding ulterior secrets, especially not now. In winter, the temperature in the Sea of Madness is far from cold.
However, this has nothing to do with me. Even if there is a murder in a secret room, the captain should be the one who has a headache... Wait a while and do a divination above the gray fog to see if the journey will be smooth... Klein doesn't care much, but he doesn't care at all. Don't think about it negligently.
He immediately looked away and looked at Dixie's grilled fish brought by the waiter.
After dinner, he returned to his own cabin, completed a divination above the gray mist, and came to the conclusion that the environment he was in would not change much and everything was relatively smooth.
This allowed Klein to fall asleep easily without meditation, and woke up until dawn.
The siren sounded "Woo", and the passenger ship turned from stillness and slowly left the port of Harman.
When the pier was still faintly visible, Klein saw a figure suddenly appear there.
This figure is wearing a white shirt and a dark blue jacket. It has a high nose bridge, deep-set eye sockets, light blue eyes, and slightly brown curly hair.
With a glance, he quickly locked on to the passenger ship Klein was on.
At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, as if it had become a door leading to a dark and illusory land.
A deafening hurricane rises from the bottom of the sea, mixed with a large amount of azure blue and rushes straight up. The deep lightning is like a gap in the void, appearing and disappearing due to self-healing.
This blocks all line of sight between the passenger ship and the pier, making the two seem to be in separate worlds.
The violent sea showed its horror once again.
The passenger ship could not evade or resist, so it could only continue to move forward along the safe channel with weaker storms.
What a coincidence... This shouldn't be a coincidence... Klein, who was standing behind the glass window of the cabin, first secretly sighed, and then thought that there were unnatural factors in the sudden change in the violent sea.
——Although it is normal for the weather in the Sea of Storms to change, it is still doubtful that it happens to change at a certain point.
"Is that gentleman on the pier following the suspicious passenger who got off the ship last night? And the passenger saw that his identity was exposed, so he simply changed the sky and forced the passenger ship to stay away?" Klein had some vague guesses when he thought about the previous events.
And if this is the case, it means that the suspicious passenger covering his face with a scarf is probably a demigod, or he is carrying a "1" level sealed item!
You know, with Klein's current strength and items, if he doesn't use the "Sea God's Scepter", he can't induce this level of celestial change.
Of course, he may have another way, which is to throw out Azik's copper whistle to see if it can make the entire sea of madness go berserk.
"Really, I just want to go to the Southern Continent like a normal rich man, and I will encounter demigod-level chases along the way... Sigh, I have endured too much pressure that does not belong to my sequence..." Klein laughed at himself, and finally Choose to believe in the divination done last night.
In the midst of the storm, the passenger ship staggered through the doomsday-like scene along the relatively calm gap, and most of the passengers on board looked calm, as if they had already adapted to this state, only a few of them passed through the violent scene for the first time. The people in the sea are trembling, holding on to every possible place.
Time passed by, the wind and lightning gradually subsided, and the sky brightened up a little bit.
At this time, Klein, who was on the deck, was suddenly inspired, and subconsciously looked sideways at the location of Harman's port.
Above the undulating deep blue sea water, below the scattered white clouds, a blazing flame flew over at high speed from far to near.
The flame became bigger and clearer, and finally showed a complete appearance. This is a huge flaming spear!
The flaming spear pierced the sky and landed on the front of the passenger ship deck, but it didn't ignite anything, burning through half of the board,
It scattered in all directions and reorganized into a silhouette.
This figure with a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, and blue eyes is exactly the man who suddenly appeared on the pier before!
He looked close to middle-aged, looked around slowly, walked among the passengers with round eyes and half-open mouths, and entered the cabin.
Dawn Dantès, who was also "stunned", breathed a sigh of relief silently, and confirmed that the other party really didn't come to him.
The appearance just now can be said to be very handsome, worthy of being a demigod... The only problem now is, I hope the two of them don't fight, even if the conflict is inevitable, try to go to the next sea, otherwise, this ship will not be able to keep... I myself could "teleport" away, and it was still relatively smooth, but with so many passengers, I was able to save a few... Klein habitually drew a crimson moon on his chest, praying for the blessing of the goddess.
As soon as he thought about it, he saw a figure fly out of the hatch and fell heavily on the deck. It was the suspicious passenger who covered his face with a scarf.
At this time, half of the gentleman's face was exposed, the front of the nose was red, the beard around the mouth was thick, and saliva remained.
His eyes approaching the triangle were full of fear, and he put his hands on the deck and kept moving his body backwards.
"Who told you to carry that thing and dress like this?" The middle-aged man with a high nose bridge and blue eyes walked out slowly at the door of the cabin, and asked in a deep voice in Intis.
The suspicious passenger frantically shook his head and said:
"No, I don't know, he also dressed like this, gave me, gave me 100 pounds, let me take this boat to the southern continent, and then return by myself!"
The middle-aged man watched silently, his eyes were sharp, as if he could penetrate a person's soul.
This made the suspicious passenger's forehead sweat crazily, his body trembled violently, and he stammered to explain again, but the content described did not change in any way.
The man withdrew his gaze, and a white flame suddenly rose from his body.
Then, he turned into a huge flaming spear and threw it at the area where Harman's port was located.
The flaming spear was getting farther and farther away, and it didn't take long before there was only a little flame left.
During the whole process, except for the very beginning, the demigod didn't even glance at the surrounding passengers, as if they didn't exist.
"A very simple but ingenious trick... People pretend to leave by boarding the ship, and manipulate the celestial phenomena in a certain way to create evidence that they are on the ship, but they actually stay in the port until the enemy chases them down. Find another way out..." Klein suddenly made his own judgment.
This made him a little suspicious, whether the person being chased was once a "conspirator", "magician" or other Extraordinary who was good at tricks.
As for the one just now, from details such as incarnate flames, blazing spears, arrogant behavior, disgusting, and speaking Intis, Klein believes that there is a high probability that he is a demigod of the "Hunter" path, and may be an "Iron Blood Knight".
I don't know why they clashed... Klein shook his head and walked back to the cabin.
On the deck, those passengers finally came back to their senses, and each whispered about the supernatural phenomenon they saw just now:
A person can turn into a flame, and a flame can recombine into a human being!
Amidst the noisy movement, the passenger ship continued along the safe channel without encountering any accidents on the way, and arrived at another port in the evening.
As usual, Klein didn't disembark to avoid encountering another incident.
He took out his gold case pocket watch, opened it and glanced at it to determine when to go to the restaurant.
Wait another quarter of an hour... Klein muttered to himself silently, raised his head, and looked out the window.
At this time, many passengers who are scheduled to disembark at the current port are carrying their suitcases and heading to the pier along the gangway.
With a glance, Klein's eyes suddenly stopped on a figure.
This figure was wearing a black soft hat, with dark golden sideburns, a high nose bridge, tight lips, and a deep profile profile, like a classical sculpture, without any wrinkles.
Without carrying his luggage, he quickly boarded the pier with the crowd and disappeared at the corner of the road.
Klein just watched like that, his body motionless, as if he no longer belonged to him.
He only felt that his blood was getting colder a little bit, and a name burst out in his mind:
Ince Zangwill!
…………
The gas lamps on the pier have been turned on one by one, and the different windows of the passenger ships are dotted to meet them.
In Dwayne Dantès' first-class cabin, it was dark and silent.
Klein had already sat down, his face expressionless, and various thoughts flashed through his mind uncontrollably:
"This is the first time that Ince Zangwill has been found after the Great Smog Incident in Backlund...
"The demigod from before should be chasing after Ince Zangwill...
"His trick is deeper than I thought. He found someone to pretend to be him and gave him items, not to divert tracking, but to create a blind spot in thinking, so that people subconsciously rule out this ship as a wrong option...
"He's been here since the beginning...
"The coincidental celestial change should have been created by Ince Zangwill with '0-08'...
"Why is he being chased by an Intis 'hunter' demigod... What is he planning..."
While his thoughts were churning, Klein suddenly took out the adventurer harmonica, brought it to his mouth and blew.
Without a sound, Reinette Tinekerr, a messenger lady with four blond hair and red eyes, appeared in front of him.
Klein opened his mouth, closed it again, took out a pen and paper, and quickly wrote:
"Mr. Dwayne Dantès discovered the whereabouts of Ince Zangwill on Cheng Island in the Mad Sea."
Folding up the letter paper, Klein handed it along with a gold coin to Miss Messenger:
"Send it to the mailbox at 7 Pinster Street, North Backlund."
Reinette Tinekerr's four heads held in her hands turned at the same time, and her eight eyes all looked at Klein.
She said nothing, but bit the letter paper and the gold coin.
