The results of the divination were not very satisfactory.

No matter how much Klein modified or corrected his divination sentences, the answer revealed to him by the spiritually drawn citrine pendulum did not change at all.

Any attempt to contact or find Alice carries certain risks.

The risk factor is not large, but it is not small either.

After carefully weighing the pros and cons of various methods, Klein came to a conclusion.

If you choose to give up when you encounter a little difficulty and are defeated by the bad fate you see, you will never be able to face it and face it.

Since relying solely on his own strength will encounter danger in the process of searching for Alice, then seek help from others; since as a Sequence 9 "divineer" he may face moderate risks, then wait until

When promoted to "Joker", wait until he has stronger personal strength before acting cautiously.

He submitted a special application for promotion last week, so it's almost time. The person who will examine him should arrive in Tingen within the next few days to conduct a comprehensive review of him.

At least until the end of the examination, Klein does not intend to act rashly to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

What's more, if something really happened to Alice...if the witch who was obviously many times more powerful than him fell into the hands of the mastermind behind the scenes, he still dared to rush over without thinking. Either he felt that his life was too long or he was tired of living.

.

Klein asked himself that he had absolutely no similar plans. He still wanted to live well, work hard to improve himself, and find a way to return to Earth. He must not waste the time he spent waking up from the "original owner".

He knew how precious life was, and he didn't dare to put all his bets on the "unknown ability" to automatically heal fatal wounds at the beginning of time travel.

So when he returned to the real world from the mysterious space above the gray fog, the first thing Klein did was to classify the potions he got from Alice according to their functions and put them into several sandwich pockets of the windbreaker to ensure that they were needed.

When doing so, they can react quickly and find out the most suitable medicine for use at the first time.

After putting away the potion bottles, he removed the blockade of the spiritual wall, opened the chair in front of the desk and sat down, opened the notebook as if reviewing my occult notes, and started writing and drawing on the blank page with a pen.

In the process of drawing, he would stop from time to time and use the copper pennies at hand to divine and make corresponding corrections.

He plans to use abstract pictures that only he can understand and annotate them with simplified Chinese phrases to organize his planned course of action - to find allies who may provide help, to investigate the truth behind Alice's disappearance, and to investigate the dark red chimney house.

The mastermind behind.

Whenever he finished writing or drawing on a piece of white paper, he would carefully read it silently several times until he was sure that he had memorized the contents on the paper, then tear off the paper and burn all the evidence for analysis.

Clean.

That night, the gas light in Klein's room stayed on until late at night before going out.

…………

The next morning, Klein walked out of the Blackthorn Security Company with a calm and calm expression. He looked not much different from when he entered the company early in the morning.

But there is no doubt that he can feel the changes in his body and feel that his strength, dexterity and coordination have been greatly improved.

He has been promoted to "Joker" and became a Sequence 8 Beyonder.

The church's examination came as expected, and the success completely exceeded Klein's expectations. Even the negative effects after taking the "Joker" potion were extremely slight, and the extraordinary power spilled out of the potion itself was also very limited.

, he was successfully restrained and controlled by him after only a short meditation.

He vaguely felt that this was the benefit of being promoted after thoroughly digesting the Sequence 9 potion, but he felt that the reason was not just this, but there were other reasons.

It can't be because I played the role of "clown" in advance without knowing it, right? I've never been a temporary worker in the circus... Klein complained to himself with a wry smile in confusion.

But thinking about it, he knew exactly what he should do now.

While rehearsing various scenarios he might encounter in his mind, Klein walked to the public transportation stop and got on the carriage heading to the police station.

In his trench coat pocket, he carried a legally binding official seal permission certificate. As long as he took out this permission certificate approved by Dunn Smith, the "senior inspector", Klein could enter the police station's archives and look through it.

Most general archive files within the past two years.

——Since he plans to investigate someone who suddenly disappeared, it might be a good idea to find a few other disappearance cases that have nothing to do with Alice as a cover.

But Klein knew that his intentions could not be too direct and obvious, he needed a tactful way of turning.

For example, he wanted to find out the rules for acting with the "Joker" potion, so he thought of the member of the Secret Order that he killed with his own hands, and thought that the clown camouflage on his face might be a kind of acting behavior - although Klein

It has been determined that the other party is a Sequence 7 Beyonder.

So he put forward a bold hypothesis to the captain: would some Extraordinaries similar to the member of the Secret Order, that is, unofficial Extraordinaries hidden among the ordinary people, commit crimes for the purpose of acting?

Some cases that seem ordinary but lack logic?

Based on this assumption, Klein's motive for applying to view those archived files was reasonable, and this request quickly received a thoughtful nod from the captain.

The most difficult step had been taken, and Klein did not dare to relax and got off the carriage. He spent a few pennies on toast at the bakery on the street, then walked around the corner and went straight to the main entrance of the Tingen City Police Station.

After taking out his nominal trainee inspector ID, everything unfolded smoothly as Klein expected.

The inspector level is considered a mid-level cadre in the police station, not to mention that at this time, the young trainee inspector still had a license certificate approved by the senior inspector. After the police officer on duty confirmed the identity of the person who came over, he found someone to lead him to the archives room.

, and assigned the trainee police officer who was on duty in the archives room that day to help the young inspector who wanted to check the information.

In this way, Klein spent the rest of the morning and a few hours in the afternoon flipping through various case materials. During this period, he felt hungry, so he took out the toast he had bought earlier from the paper bag and put it in.

Just deal with it.

——The hungry but extremely dedicated trainee police officer waited until about two o'clock in the afternoon before being persuaded by Klein, who couldn't stand the growling in his stomach, to eat and rest, and left with a grateful look on his face.

.

In fact, Klein feels that searching for information by himself might be faster...

There is no other reason. The police station system of the Loen Kingdom has only been established for fifteen or sixteen years, and there are many imperfections in management, including the management of case data.

Yes, that's right, these police officers never seemed to think of recording the filed cases with numbers, sorting them by time, and placing them in categories...

If Klein hadn't had a cheating level of divination to assist him in his search, he felt that he might have fainted the moment he saw the large number of files on the bookshelf.

"If I become a powerful figure one day, I must let the grassroots police pay attention to cultivating the concept of classification..."

Muttering in amusement, Klein put down the several document bags he was holding, sat back at the desk and chair in the archives room, and tried hard to find case information that met the requirements.

Time passed quietly amidst the boring sound of paper turning.

Opening the cover of his pocket watch, Klein glanced at the time indicated on the dial, then stood up suddenly and started sorting out the materials he had borrowed.

The trainee police officer who was secretly reading a book was awakened by the movement here. He quickly hid the mystery novel at hand and ran over to help.

After bidding farewell to the police officer on duty in the archives room, Klein walked toward the outside of the police station while silently reciting sentences and completing the divination with a copper penny.

Now is not a good time to visit Teacher Azik at his house... What about at night?

He quickly performed another divination and received a positive answer.

"Okay, then let's go back to buy vegetables for dinner, and then go out to visit Mr. Azik in the evening."

Klein nodded slightly, forced himself to suppress the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart, turned around and got on the public carriage back to Daffodil Street.

…………

At about seven o'clock in the evening, Klein excused himself that he needed to work overtime tonight, changed into his clothes for going out, said goodbye to Benson and Melissa, and then walked out of the house in the slightly cool evening breeze and took a carriage to Ah.

In front of Zik's house.

He stepped forward and rang the doorbell, and within half a minute Azik, dressed in a shirt and vest, opened the door.

For some reason, Klein could read some kind of subtext of "Why are you here again" from the other person's expression.

Counting the last time he came back to see Teacher Azik, it seemed like it was only two or three days ago... Klein suppressed his blush and hurriedly revealed his purpose before the other party spoke:

"Mr. Azik, I came here to visit, hoping to get your advice... mainly on some issues related to my own memory."

Azik glanced at him as if he was aware of it, put away the somewhat joking expression on his face, and motioned for him to come in and talk.

"Is there something wrong with your memory?" Azik asked directly after sitting down on the sofa in the living room.

Klein did not answer immediately, but looked around cautiously, with a little fear in his expression.

"Mr. Azik, can you be sure that our conversation will not be heard by some...some people who are like the masterminds behind my destiny?"

After Azik listened, he answered after a few seconds:

"If there is that uncoordinated force here, then I should be able to sense it, and now I can be sure that there is no remaining power of the other party here."

In other words, our current conversation is relatively safe and unlikely to be eavesdropped...

Klein breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his back and began to explain the situation to Azik - of course, he did not intend to mention the name "Alice" directly in front of Azik rashly.

In this way, if the other party says "I have no impression of the name you mentioned", it means that the history faculty member who is suspected of being a powerful extraordinary person has also unknowingly forgotten about Alice and fell into the arrangement of the mastermind behind the scenes.

.

While explaining his intention to find a certain person, he handed Azik a piece of paper with the result of spending several hours reading the police files today written on it.

In the past two years, missing girls have occurred in Tingen City, as well as details of the names and characteristics of the missing persons.

Among the seven or eight names belonging to the missing girl, there is a strange "Alice" without a surname.

"I know that I want to find a missing person, but now I suddenly find that there is a problem with my memory, which prevents me from remembering who the person I am looking for is..." Klein lowered his head and said slowly.

Azik quickly read the text on the paper and thought about it:

"I've never heard of these names, at least they're unlikely to be students at Hoy University."

... After swallowing the order, he felt vaguely terrified and broke into a cold sweat. Klein changed his words calmly:
To be continued...
