Chapter 99 Red Chimney
In the afternoon, when Klein returned home, he closed the curtains and kept the bedroom in darkness.
He pulled out a pen and paper, thought for a long time, and finally wrote a sentence:
"Elliott's kidnapping was guided by extraordinary factors."
As a "diver", Klein had actually divination before whether there were unnatural developments in those few coincidences, and it turned out that he thought too much.
This time, under the influence of Azik's teacher, he paid attention to this issue again, and absorbed the lessons of the clown in the tuxedo, and carefully designed the "divination statement", excluding some vague and confusing descriptions from the beginning.
"Well, break down the three coincidences, and divination..." Klein nodded thoughtfully, and slowly removed the citrine pendant from his cuff.
He held the pendulum with his left hand and let the pendant hang over the "divination statement" on the paper, almost touching it.
Concentrating his mind and entering into meditation, Klein closed his eyes and began to repeat silently:
"Elliott's kidnapping was guided by extraordinary factors."
...
Over and over again, he opened his eyes and looked at the spirit pendulum, only to see the citrine pendant rotating slightly counterclockwise.
"Negative..." Klein whispered, and redesigned the "divination statement" several times, but the result was still that there was no coincidence in that incident.
He also divination "Riel Bieber's stay in Tingen Incident" and "Selena Mirror Divination Incident", and the answers he got were all "normal".
Heh, as a real fortune-teller, I was fooled by Mr. Azik, a false god? Besides, Captain and the others didn't feel weird... Klein shook his head amusedly, but he was still cautious and prepared to use "Dream Divination" for the final confirmation.
After thinking for a moment, he changed the "divination statement" to suit the different method.
"The real cause of Elliott's kidnapping." Klein paused from time to time, considering his words.
After reading it several times, he tore off the paper, got up, walked to the bed, and lay down relaxed.
Holding the "divination statement", Klein quickly fell asleep with the help of meditation.
In a hazy, twisted and fragmented world, he regained part of his consciousness and wandered in confusion.
Gradually, he saw the kidnappers, saw them lose the last chip at the gambling table, saw them get guns from underground channels, saw them stepping on the spot a few times, and temporarily rented the opposite side of Riel Bieber's house Houses as hiding places...
All this is not coherent, it belongs to the flash of the picture, but Klein could not find the slightest violation.
And this is basically consistent with the kidnapper's confession he learned.
After exiting the dream, Klein divination for two other things, the results are the same, the development is in line with the law, the coincidence is really just a coincidence.
"It's true that I think too much, Mr. Azik is just a divination enthusiast..." Klein steadied his pendulum and shook his head with a wry smile.
He was about to open the curtains to let the afternoon sun shine into the bedroom, when his fingertips suddenly stopped here.
"From the impression of the original owner, Teacher Azik is a steady, reliable and trustworthy gentleman. He almost never speaks unfounded words. Even if he often argues with his tutor, it is limited to academic issues, and each has its own reasons. ... If he was a pure divination enthusiast, he wouldn't communicate with me in this way... And the original owner didn't remember that he liked divination at all... Of course, there may also be a lack of corresponding memory fragments..." Klein wrinkled Brows, I still feel that I am not at ease enough, I always want to find a way to confirm it.
He suspected that Mr. Azik had some inside information by accident, so he reminded himself under the pretext of divination.
"What way should I find another way to confirm?" Klein paced back and forth in the dim bedroom where he could barely see the text in the book, recalling the other divination methods he had mastered.
one step, two steps,
Three steps, he stopped suddenly, and had an idea.
"Let's assume that there is indeed a problem with the coincidence. I can't predict that the sequence is not high enough, and it is due to external interference. Then we can change the environment to a more mysterious and incomprehensible environment than these things!" Klein's spirit With a shake, he opened the drawer and took out a silver knife.
Then, he accumulated his spirit and let his spirituality flow out from the tip of the silver dagger, connecting with the surrounding nature as a whole.
As he walked, the spiritual wall gradually sealed the entire bedroom.
Klein's plan was to divination above the gray fog, to the mysterious world for divination!
…………
Above the boundless and hazy gray mist, in the majestic and magnificent ancient temple.
Klein's figure sat at the top of the long bronze table, with a piece of parchment that had just been "realized" in front of him.
He picked up the round belly pen and wrote down the "divination statement" according to his previous attempts:
"Elliott's kidnapping was guided by extraordinary factors."
Holding the pendulum in his hand and hanging the pendant low, Klein allowed his spirit to settle down quickly, quiet and ethereal.
He half-closed his eyes and recited the "divination statement" seven times, making his spirituality sympathetic with the spiritual world that is above everything else.
Feeling the slight pull of the silver chain, Klein opened his eyes and looked at the spirit pendulum.
Seeing this, he was immediately stunned:
The citrine pendant is turning clockwise!
This means that Elliott's kidnapping case is guided by extraordinary factors!
And this is completely opposite to Klein's divination results in the outside world!
There is no trace of guidance... Such power, or means, is simply terrifying... What is the purpose of the people behind the scenes? Antigonus family notes and my fate entangled? Klein was horrified and lost his tranquility, causing the spirit pendulum to spin in chaos.
He put down the citrine pendant, pinched his eyebrows, his expression extremely solemn.
After thinking for a few seconds, he did not try to divination the other two things, but wrote a new "divination statement":
"The real cause of Eliot's kidnapping."
Holding the paper and meditating seven times, Klein leaned back in his chair and fell into a deep sleep above the gray fog.
Soon, he saw a boundless, illusory, gray fog.
The mist slowly parted, revealing colorful flowers and green lawns.
Behind the flowers and lawn, the space twists and overlaps, like a living monster.
Klein tried his best to look, barely seeing a dark red chimney hidden there.
At this moment, everything in front of him collapsed and shattered, and the dream suddenly collapsed.
In the magnificent temple, Klein suddenly straightened his back, only to feel his heart beating wildly for no reason.
"Huh... I feel like I'm seeing something terrible..." He took a deep breath and calmed down his messy emotions.
After a while, Klein tapped the edge of the long table and fell into thought again:
"The red chimney...the garden...the lawn...is this a place related to the man behind the scenes? But those coincidences still don't show his purpose, and it can even be said that there is no malicious intent..."
As his thoughts filled with thoughts, Klein was startled for a while, for himself, as well as for the Captain and Frye and other companions:
I and others are like puppets on the strings, being manipulated to perform, and what is even more frightening is that I still feel good about myself...
"Hey... I don't know how to mention this to the captain. Old Neil's divination result is exactly the same as mine... If I were to confirm it on the spot... I can't confirm it at all..." Klein felt a headache. Rubbed the temples.
After being calm for more than ten seconds, he began to divination "Riel Bieber's stay in Tingen Incident". Similarly, he used the pendulum method first.
This time, Klein was stunned to see his citrine pendant parked there, motionless, neither affirming nor denying it.
"There's something weird..." He whispered, and his thoughts diverged to guess the reason, "The behind-the-scenes person noticed my divination and responded?"
Next, he tried "dream divination" again, but he could only see the incoherent, broken and hazy gray fog, and found nothing else.
The same is true for the "Selena Mirror Incident".
Klein almost confirmed the idea just now, and when he couldn't find a good opportunity to remind Captain Dunn Smith for a while, he felt an unprecedented urgency to improve himself.
"Wait and continue to the divination club, try to 'play' success as soon as possible, digest the 'divine' potion... Also, confirm whether the 'clown' potion is a follow-up to the 'diver' and find its clues... In addition, get in touch with Mr. Azik to see if he can dig out the inside information he knows..." Klein put his right hand on his forehead, quickly made the next plan, and clarified the focus.
After thinking for a while, he presented another piece of parchment in front of him, and wrote with a pen:
"Sequence 9 'divine' corresponds to Sequence 8 is 'Joker'."
——With the experience just now, at this moment, Klein completely believes that his divination level can be blessed and sublimated above the gray fog.
"Just like the running team can always throw a big success... This is good luck in charge?" He whispered silently, and picked up the pendulum again.
It didn't take long for Klein to get a positive answer:
The sequence 8 corresponding to the Sequence 9 "diver" is "The Clown"!
Immediately after, he wrote:
"The Sequence 8, Sequence 7, Sequence 6, and Sequence 5 corresponding to 'Divinator' will each acquire at least one brand-new ability that does not belong to each other."
Phew, exhaling the turbid air, Klein tried the "spirit pendulum method" again.
However, he saw that the citrine pendant stopped there without any rotation.
"I don't have enough information to complete the divination and obtain enlightenment?" As if thinking to himself, Klein put down the silver chain and began to consider the words needed for "dream divination".
After more than ten seconds, he lifted the pen and solemnly wrote:
"The clue to the 'Joker' potion."
