chapter.80 face(1/2)
The next Tuesday, Blackthorn Security Company.
Since Old Neil, who was responsible for teaching the new Nighthawks, applied for a rotation, Klein's morning occult course lacked a lecturer and he had to study on his own.
But now he has started to get started in related fields and can barely be called an expert. Through the documents and records piled up in the database, it is not difficult to complete self-study.
The things Klein is thinking about recently are mainly divided into the following points.
One is to quietly wait for the church personnel responsible for examining him to arrive and be promoted to Sequence 8 "Joker".
Once he is successfully promoted, he can try many of his previous ideas, such as summoning himself through incantations and ritual magic, such as trying to "borrow" some energy from the mutated sun badge containing divine blood to make a sun charm...
Second, he had to reveal the existence of the "acting method" to Captain Dunn and other teammates of the Nighthawks team as much as possible before the investigators arrived.
Well...this is what Ms. Daly, who sent a messenger to visit secretly last week, wanted to ask him to do.
But even if Ms. Dai Li didn't say so, Klein's original plan was to hint at the "acting method" to the captain and others. This was not only to rationalize his promotion, but also to reduce the risk of his teammates losing control.
He asked himself for a while and felt that he was just about to say the acting method directly. The hints had almost become explicit. If the captain still couldn't understand it, then...
Uh, then, just tell me directly?
But the captain just has a bad memory and his understanding should be good. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why he ran into my dream last week and ate the food I cooked for myself...
Third, Mr. Azik, a teacher at Hoy University, lost many memories, so he entrusted Klein to help find his past...
This is considered a long-term mission, but Klein plans to stop by and visit the other party this afternoon.
If this history lecturer who is suspected of being a powerful extraordinary person has returned to Tingen from his seal fishing resort, then report what he discovered over the weekend and tell him that there are Zhang and Aziz in the small town of Ramd outside Tingen.
There is an oil painting that looks very similar to Mr. Grams, and the locals claim that the figure painted in that oil painting is the first Baron Ramd...
As for four...
Well, Klein will not forget the deal reached at the tarot meeting and the huge sum of money that is about to arrive in his account.
He planned to take some time to go to the Tingen branch of Backlund Bank, open a bearer account, and set the password to words written in ancient Hermes. The specific content pointed to himself and the three-part honorific name of "The Fool"
.
Then!
He planned to give this password to Miss Witch, pretend to be in urgent need of money, and ask her to go to the bank on his behalf during Saturday's regular "overtime" time to withdraw a small amount of gold pounds!
Of course, logically speaking, it is impossible for him to hand over the important password for storing his private money so generously, so the necessary acting skills are indispensable, and the specific reasons need to be carefully considered...
Fortunately, the money will not arrive until at least next week's Tarot session, and his regular "overtime" time is on Saturday, so he has plenty of time, and there are still about ten days left.
Time allows him to slowly sort out the details and eliminate the unreasonable aspects of the plan.
This not only confirms the deposit amount in the account, but also allows Alice to "read" the Fool's honorable name, which solves one of the most suspicious aspects. It is simply killing two birds with one stone.
Well, because I can explain to her afterwards that I prayed to the mysterious and powerful Mr. Fool, hoping to get money, so he asked me to complete some tasks, and the money in this account was the reward he gave me.
…
This is just enough to confirm my identity as "The Fool's Favorite"!
I'm so smart!
After praising his cleverness, Klein put away the documents, got up and went to the break room to have lunch, and then said goodbye to his colleague Leonard, who looked a little weird. Since Klein submitted a special application for promotion, this
Nighthawks teammates with a poetic temperament would look at him strangely from time to time, as if they were seeing some unexpected freak.
Klein had no time to worry about the thoughts of his fellow poets.
The opponent's various performances made him almost certain that Leonard must also be aware of the existence of the "acting method".
So Klein took the time to walk around the company, revealing the core and skills of the role to other teammates in a very explicit way. In the afternoon, he continued to practice marksmanship step by step, and went to the fighting teacher's house to undergo "torture"...
Speaking of which, the one-month trial period required by Alice was coming to an end, and Klein didn't feel that the ointment he applied every day had much effect.
Although my muscles have been developed, it is probably not the result of the ointment, but the result of my perseverance in every fighting class...
Well, my physical strength is much better than before, and my strength has also increased, but this has no other effect for the time being except that I have to accept the more rigorous and ruthless devil training from fighting teacher Gao Wen...
Although it is no longer a problem to pick up a petite witch.
When he walked out of the fighting teacher's house, Klein looked up at the sky and realized that there seemed to be more time. So he spent a few seconds thinking about whether he should go to Alice's current workplace to see her.
But then he remembered that he only knew that she had changed her job in a clinic, but had not asked about the specific address of that clinic, so he had to let go of this sudden thought and got on the public carriage heading to Teacher Azik's residence.
About ten minutes later, Klein got off the carriage and walked along the street, finally stopping in front of a house with a lawn and garden.
He checked the house number and stepped forward to ring the doorbell.
After several crisp bells rang, he heard footsteps approaching the door, and soon someone opened the door to the house.
"Klein?" Azik, who was dressed in a white shirt and brown vest, looked at the visitor outside the door with some surprise, and soon showed a soft smile, "What a coincidence, you came just as I was planning to write you a letter...
…Come on, let’s go into the house and talk.”
Seeing Azik step aside a few steps to signal for him to enter, Klein glanced at the leather shoes on his feet and confirmed that he did not need to change his indoor shoes. Then he walked into the entrance hall calmly and asked him to lock the door.
While Azik warmly welcomed Klein to sit down in the living room, he smiled with emotion and sighed:
"I just returned home from vacation yesterday. I happened to receive an invitation from an old friend and went to his house for a dinner party to catch up with some friends I had known since college. But I didn't expect..."
"Mr. Azik, did you find anything unexpected at the dinner?" Following his topic, Klein asked curiously.
After pouring a cup of hot coffee for the student who came to his home, Azik pushed a silver tray filled with sugar cubes and milk and motioned for him to add seasonings according to his own taste. This seemed to have organized his language.
, hehe laughed and said:
"I can't say it was an accidental discovery. I just thought that I might have met your lover at the dinner party."
He briefly described the appearance of the girl he met last night, emphasizing that she wore silver leaf-shaped earrings, and then looked at Klein, who had a dull expression, with a smile.
"The young girl named Alice is working as a temporary assistant in a clinic run by an old friend of mine. She said she will quit her job in September and go to Backlund University to continue her studies. Well, Klein, you have never been with me before.
I mentioned that she is almost six or seven years younger than you..."
...No, I really didn't smelt copper... She, she emphasized that she was an adult.
Klein tried hard to control the twitching of the corners of his mouth and forced a smile:
"I, I always thought she was more mature than she claims to be."
With a smile on his lips, Azik took another deep look at him and suddenly sighed:
"But, Klein, I want to remind you one thing...well, it has something to do with your little girlfriend, she..."
"What happened to her?" Klein subconsciously asked.
"Maybe I'm overly worried, but my old friend who runs a clinic treats your little girlfriend a little too affectionately. There are obviously other more appropriate ways to discourage a lady from drinking too much..."
Azik stirred the coffee in the cup with a silver spoon and said with a slight worry that the middle-aged doctor with a mature temperament and handsome features might have a certain affection for Alice, while Alice obviously lacked the affection for older men.
I was very vigilant and did not care at all about some implicit and euphemistic expressions of goodwill.
Klein thought to himself, with that charm ability, how could Alice care about other people's opinion of her? She must have been used to it long ago...
"Fortunately, they won't get along for long. The date is now close to the end of August. In a few days, your little girlfriend will take the steam train to Backlund."
After comforting Klein, Azik was about to pick up the coffee cup. He suddenly paused and put down the cup again. There was an unspeakable depth in his eyes that had a sense of vicissitudes of life.
"Klein, do you still remember what I mentioned to you before? There are traces of inconsistency in your fate. Yesterday I observed your little girlfriend, and her fate..."
Klein was stunned and subconsciously blurted out:
"Her fate is also inconsistent?"
"No, it's not incongruous. I feel it from her fate... I feel it..."
Azik also seemed a little confused and confused, and replied as if he had been thinking for a long time before finding the most suitable description.
"Nothingness, her fate is shrouded in a boundless nothingness... Yes, there is no past, no present, and no future... But this cannot be explained at all, and it completely goes against common sense. No one's fate will be in this form.
Even people with extraordinary abilities like you and me are no exception, let alone she is just an ordinary person."
Klein's heart trembled, and his thoughts began to spin rapidly.
...Mr. Azik can't see through the true face of the witch? Is it because she comes from a completely different world from this one?
But if it is just because of Alice's special status as a visitor from another world, at most she will have no past, because the traces of her past are not here, and even the spiritual world that is said to be a higher level may not be able to reflect the remaining traces of other worlds.
But what does it mean that the present and the future are also shrouded in nothingness?
Has the anti-divination and anti-prophecy level of the witch from another world reached this level?
Azik's reminder last time made Klein aware of the coincidences and anomalies in the things happening around him. He saw the dark red chimney in the dream divination, so he did not dare to ignore the same reminder about fate this time.
I frowned and pondered for a long time, but I couldn't even come up with a few clear guesses.
Klein wanted to tell Azik, hinting that Alice came from a completely different world from this one, and wanted to hear what Azik would think from his perspective.
But this thought seemed to have touched the confidentiality contract he signed, causing Klein to completely deviate from his original intention as soon as he opened his mouth.
In the end, he had no choice but to deal with the "long-distance relationship" topic he mentioned, and added some information to Azik in an effort to smooth things over:
"Alice is actually better at hiding herself... Mr. Azik, you can think that she is also a person with strange abilities like you and me."
Huh, fortunately, the contract was not too restrictive. I could reveal to others that she has extraordinary abilities, hinting at her status as an "extraordinary person"...
Hey, maybe this is her original intention? After all, the witch seems to be intending to disguise herself as an Extraordinary of the "Witch" path. Even if the local Extraordinary encounters the power of the extraordinary level, they will only consider the extraordinary system of the Sequence Path, and never
To be continued...
