Mystery: Lucky

After all, demigods are rare. Most of the time, Sequence 5 is already strong. If the target is just a mummy without extraordinary characteristics, Klein believes that it will be difficult to form an effective stop.

This time it was Sharon who gave the explanation, and her answer was as brief as ever:

“I’m worried that this is a trap set by the Rose School against us.

"If not, 1,000 pounds. If there is, we are responsible for attracting attention and you take the mummy. This depends on the risk, ranging from 5,000 pounds to 10,000 pounds."

Is that so... Klein didn't respond immediately. After thinking about it, he asked instead:

"Do you know about the Spirit World Marauders?"

Sharon nodded slightly and said: "I can use gold pounds combined with relevant information on the spiritual world predators as a reward."

Klein said "hmm" and said, "I'll think about it and write you a reply before midnight."

He decided to make a decision after divination.

This is definitely not a trap for him, though, because I don’t have any need for mummies…nor mummy fans.

"Okay." Sharon said without changing her expression.

Without saying goodbye directly, Klein walked to the door, greeted Ian to come in, and asked casually:

"Is there any noteworthy news recently?"

Ian didn't say anything noteworthy. After listening to it, Klein found that it was not even as attractive as the painting in Ian's room, so he shook his head and left.

…

Alice still remembered Klein's instructions. In the early hours of the morning, she struggled to wake up from the bed and took another look at St. Samuel's Church.

By coincidence, Leonard was about to enter the church underground when he saw Alice's figure emerging in front of him.

He stopped in confusion, and Alice exhaled and said to him:

"He wants to ask you, if he has news to tell you, how should he contact you?"

Alice didn't say Klein's name, but they all understood this kind of thing. Leonard understood, and then replied in silence:

"...The letter should be sent to No. 7 Pinster Street."

Alice nodded and was about to leave, but Leonard quickly stopped her:

"etc.

"What if I want to contact him?"

"Hmm." Alice blinked.

Klein didn't mention this, but it was an easy answer. Alice taught Leonard the summoning spell of Klein's messenger, and then asked:

"You know the messenger's summoning ritual, right?"

"I know," Pales' hoarse voice sounded, "But does your former colleague actually have two messengers?"

"What?" Leonard asked subconsciously.

After a pause, he added to Alice: "I'm not talking to you."

Alice nodded to express herself, and then asked curiously:

"What are you talking about?"

Alice was aware of what Leonard was talking about, but the specific content of the chat was obviously beyond her ability.

Leonard didn't answer because Pales was answering his question:

"Isn't she the messenger of your former colleague?"

Leonard swallowed because of these words and looked at Alice with difficulty.

Ai Li seemed to be feeling something and asked, "Are you talking bad about me?"

"...No," Leonard said calmly, "We are talking bad about another person, and you know who I am talking about."

"What is it?" Alice asked.

Leonard smiled and said to Alice: "We are talking about how he is completely different now. I remember he said he was very frugal before, but now he lives a luxurious life!"

"That's right!" Alice thought of Dwayne Dantès's wealthy life and nodded vigorously, then became confused again, "No...how did you know?"

Leonard replied as it should be: "He has already used a messenger, isn't it luxurious?"

Alice stayed there and thought about it. When Leonard saw this, he said goodbye and walked in after Alice nodded casually.

She always felt that something was wrong... Alice frowned. She always felt that Leonard's words had a deeper meaning, but she couldn't figure it out. In the end, she had to go home and sleep.

…

In the early hours of the morning, in the Brave Bar, Maric was already waiting in the billiards room No. 3 as agreed.

Gulu took a sip of beer, and Maric raised his hand to comb his hair. His pale face had no color at all, and the vague madness was much lighter than before.

At this moment, something clicked in his heart. He looked up to the side and saw a figure wearing a top hat and formal clothes quickly outlined. It was Sherlock Moriarty.

Teleport? Maric's heart trembled, his eyes narrowed, and he instinctively raised his guard.

This has nothing to do with trust, just an instinctive wariness of being higher up on the food chain.

At the same time, from the corner of his eye, he saw Sharon's doll-like figure emerging from the high stool.

Klein pressed his hat, saluted the two of them, and then smiled:

"What I care about most is, how much information do you have?

“The more complete the intelligence, the higher the probability of success and the lower the risk.

"A very simple example, can you confirm that there is nothing wrong with the mummy of Tutankhas II? Can you confirm which coffin it is in? If possible, I will 'teleport' it directly before the guards can react, and take it with me It 'travels' to the spirit world and the problem is solved."

Just as Maric was about to think about it, he heard Sharon say in a calm voice: "I can confirm which coffin it is in, but I can't confirm whether there is any problem."

Klein nodded, pulled up a chair and sat down: "Besides this, what else do you know?"

Sharon's blue eyes moved slightly and she said: "It may be a trap by the Rose School of Thought, or it may be a trap by the Loen military."

Immediately afterwards, Maric introduced the situation about the mummy in detail. After some discussion, Klein thought of a good idea to confirm. He smiled and said:

"Would you like to try divination?

"I think you have heard about Gehrman Sparrow, and know that there is... um, an angel by my side? Or a '0' level sealed artifact."

This is indeed not a secret. The tidbits about Gehrman Sparrow and an underage girl were widely circulated in the sea. Until everyone discovered that the underage girl was a real angel, and she seemed to have a bad temper. The popularity of this news It just faded away.

Sharon and Maric were both experienced Beyonders. They did not ask about the specific relationship between Klein and Alice. However, after thinking about it, Maric questioned:

“Can you guarantee that He won’t do anything and will give you the truthful results?

"As far as I know, His Highness's personality is very... freewheeling."

Out of respect for an angel, Maric chose a more neutral adjective, but the doubt in his eyes was telling. Klein had to defend Alice:

"She is actually not what the rumors say. Most of the time, if no one takes the initiative to provoke her, she will not go too far..."

Maric's eyes became more questioning, and even Sharon frowned vaguely.

Klein wanted to say something else, but Sharon suddenly said:

“Maybe trust Him.

"Is there any way you can contact Him?"

Klein breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, nodded, and then said to the two of them:

"I'll call her, she should be sleeping now."

Klein lowered his head and prayed to Alice, while Maric turned to Sharon and asked his doubts:

"Why?"

Sharon looked in the direction of the door and uttered one word briefly:

"she."

After a short recall, Maric understood what Sharon meant. It was Klein's title that played a decisive role. Moreover, it was rumored that Gehrman Sparrow's attitude towards Miss Destiny was far from polite.

If it weren't for the fact that one of them only had Sequence 5 and the other only had Sequence 6, and if their Sequences were a little higher, they might really seriously consider the possibility of Gehrman Sparrow being kept.

As for now... they don't dare to continue thinking about this issue.

…

Alice was lying on the bed. Before she could close her eyes, Klein's prayer sounded in her ears - how strange that he actually prayed today!

The content didn't say what it was about, it just asked her to go over and help. Alice thought about it and decided to go over and take a look.

Her figure emerged in the billiard room No. 3. Seeing this somewhat familiar scene, she looked around in surprise, and finally noticed the painting.

After pausing for two seconds on the painting made by her hand, Alice turned to Klein and asked:

"What's wrong?"

Then, she turned to look at the other two people.

"This is Sharon and Maric." Klein replied.

Alice had heard of these two names, and Klein mentioned them to her. She dug up the relevant memories in her mind, and then suddenly realized:

"It's you...how are you?"

She raised her hand to wave. Sharon and Maric paused and looked at Klein.

Klein was much more straightforward. He turned his head and said to Alice:

"Help us do a divination."

Alice raised her eyebrows, and Klein turned to Sharon and Maric:

"Tell her about the situation just now."

Maric paused for a moment, and after taking a look at Sharon, he took on the important task of socializing and told Alice the information they knew and several speculations. Alice suddenly realized at the end:

"That is to say, you have to determine whether this is a trap for you and get more information about the mummy, right?"

"Yes." Maric nodded.

Alice held out her hand to him.

Maric failed to understand the purpose of this job. He turned to look at Klein, and Klein looked at Alice. Alice blinked and said:

"Give me a coin - preferably gold, I like gold."

Maric was stunned for a moment, still not understanding the purpose of this action. Sharon glanced thoughtfully, and a gold coin appeared in the air. After spinning twice, it landed in Alice's hand.

Alice looked at Sharon. The "Wraith" lady met her gaze and asked without any expression:

"Is this okay?"

Alice thought for a moment and asked, "Which of you is requesting this?"

Sharon responded: “This is our mutual request.”

"Okay." Alice nodded, reluctantly agreeing with the answer, and then flicked the coin with her fingers.

The golden coin rotated in the air for several weeks, and finally fell back into Alice's hand. Alice did not look at the coin. She already knew the answer in the process. She said to Sharon and Maric:

“The mummy of Tutankhas II was a trap set by the military against the Rose School.

“It is full of curses, it is the incarnation of curses, and it has the possibility of turning into a living corpse on its own.

"Angels or '0' level sealed objects may appear at the scene - it is very dangerous. I was worried about being discovered, so I didn't look more."

Sharon looked at her quietly. After a few seconds, she turned to Klein and said in an unquestionable tone:

"Let this matter go."

Instead, Klein shook his head and smiled slightly: "There's no need to make a decision in a hurry. I'll ask you a few more things. Maybe there's still a chance. There's no need to take too big a risk."

Alice turned her head, looked at him in surprise, and sincerely praised: "You are a true brave."

"What's going on?" Maric asked directly.

Klein glanced at Alice and smiled:

"No, I am now a circus performer who wears many hats and is working hard to create my own circus."

"?" Alice's expression became strange.

Klein didn't speak to her anymore. He turned to Sharon and Maric again and answered Maric's question:

"Tell me the detailed process of mummifying pharaohs in the ancient highland kingdom."

Alice thought for a while and decided to watch the show.

Maric glanced at Sharon and replied thoughtfully:

“The first step is to leave it for three to five days and use certain auxiliary means to allow the extraordinary characteristics to naturally separate out and not combine with any part of the Pharaoh’s body to form a sealed object;

"The second step is to hold a 'cleansing ceremony', put the corpse into the altar, and pray to the 'Bound God', hoping that half of the soul of the deceased will remain in the body. This will not affect the return of the Son of God, but will also allow the body to be made." mummies remain spiritual for a long time;

“The third step is to rely on extraordinary abilities and realistic technology to remove the brain, internal organs and body fluids of the corpse, leaving only the heart;

“The fourth step is to stuff the inside of the body with spiritual spices and medicines and perform a comprehensive dehydration process...

“The fifth step is to re-stuff the previous seasonal materials and medicines, make some ritualistic arrangements on the surface of the corpse, then wrap a linen bandage and put it into the coffin hub.

"In the sixth step, the removed internal organs are processed similarly to the fourth step. They are used as ritual materials and placed in the four corners of the coffin hub. The same goes for the brain and body fluids. The former is pounded into a slurry, mixed with the latter, and placed in the coffin. The channels reserved inside the coffin flow in a circular manner, imitating the state of the deceased... This can absorb spirituality from the spiritual world and gather spirituality from the surroundings. Even if the pharaoh's mummy has been buried for thousands of years, it is still a very spiritual material and can make a very powerful living corpse. …”

Klein listened carefully to Maric's story and thought about the intrinsic connection between mummy powder and aphrodisiac.

...could it be some kind of occult connection?

He didn't expect that Sharon and Maric were still waiting for his next question, and Alice was watching curiously, so he stopped dwelling on it and asked again:

"What is the furthest effective distance of your 'Mirror Flash'?" (End of this chapter)
