Mystery: Paradox Path

After Mr. Melas left, Klein began to browse the information left by the other party. Although it might involve Mr. Devil, he thought about his savings of less than 100 pounds, the cost of living in Backlund, and the attractive 10-pound reward. , Klein still chose to accept the commission.

If he really finds something, Klein can at most remind the other party. After all, a well-known Backlund's socialist has not been beaten to death by those noble gentlemen. Presumably, he should have rich experience in dealing with this.

With this thought in mind, Klein read more carefully, and as each word passed by, Klein discovered that Mr. Melas was not the kind of little nobleman he thought of summarizing.

To be precise, the other party should be a small businessman who is trying to cross the threshold of the nobles.

Although it was not stated in the information, from his wife's information, Klein could almost see the image of a businessman who was trying to squeeze into the upper class.

His wife is the daughter of a baron, and there are no other siblings in the family. If nothing else, when his father-in-law dies, his wife will naturally inherit the title.

Don't underestimate it is just a baron with almost no real income, but it is a stepping stone to join the noble circle of Loen. According to the rumors that Klein heard in the university before and the information he got from the newspapers recently, he believes that this This gentleman must have paid a considerable sum of money for this marriage.

"Generally speaking, in this kind of money-power transaction, both parties should not care about each other's private life..." Klein thought of the novels and movies he had read in his "previous life" and felt a little strange.

No wonder he was suspicious, it was because Ince Zangwill left a big psychological shadow on him.

After thinking for a while, Klein took four steps in the opposite direction and came to the top of the gray fog, showing a pen and paper and a pendulum, and began to write a divination sentence——

"Investigating Mrs. Melas is dangerous, investigating Mrs. Melas is dangerous..."

After repeating the recitation seven times, Klein slowly opened his eyes, but saw the spiritual pendulum in his hand, which was slowly turning clockwise.

"It's dangerous, but it's not high... It's normal." Klein relaxed slightly and wrote a new divination statement:

"Mrs. Melas didn't cheat, Mrs. Melas didn't cheat..."

But this time, the pendulum didn't move at all, which meant that the information wasn't enough.

"Sure enough, there's no way to do it." Klein shook his head, thought for a moment, picked up the pen again, and wrote the divination statement in the third round:

"Investigating Mrs. Melas will involve extraordinary events, investigating..."

It was still the spirit pendulum method that was repeated seven times, and the spirit pendulum also began to rotate following his meditation.

"Clockwise? Involving Extraordinary? But the previous feedback is that the danger is not too big!" Klein looked at the spirit pendulum spinning clockwise and always wondered if there was a problem with his spirit pendulum, but thinking that this was above the gray fog, He could only try his best to interpret what this divination result meant.

"It involves extraordinary power, but the danger is very small, which should mean that the Beyonder sequence involved should not be high... No, not necessarily, I am only Sequence Eight, even if it involves a low-rank Beyonder, it shouldn't be. only so much...

Well, maybe it's because that Beyonder knows me, so he doesn't mean to hurt me... That way, Mr. Demon is even more suspicious! "

Klein complained in his heart, but he forcibly suppressed this thought. In divination, the idea of ​​suspecting a neighbor stealing an axe is the last thing to have, because once there is a prejudice in his heart, all divination hints will become Your own excuses to explain your thoughts.

Gently patted his cheek, Klein made himself temporarily forget about Mr. Devil and his morning service, and re-examined the commission.

First of all, Mr. Melas must be hiding something,

Otherwise, all he has to do is just wait for his father-in-law to die, and there is no need to investigate this extramarital affair that is irrelevant compared to interests, and may even cost him both power and wealth.

Secondly, to what extent does this involve extraordinary power?

The spirit pendulum does not rotate very fast. According to past experience, it should be one or two low-sequence Beyonders, or a Sealed Artifact, mystical item, etc. There are many possibilities.

For example, a person who occasionally obtained extraordinary items, with the help of hypnosis and other abilities, confuses Mrs. Melas. This undoubtedly involves extraordinary power, but its danger is actually no greater than that of ordinary extramarital affairs investigations.

"Divination can only be used as a reference..." Klein sighed again about the limitations of divination, and continued to think about it with energy.

Then, he concluded a new divination sentence——

"This commission is for me."

Probably because the divination involved himself, the pendulum quickly spun, but Klein still opened his eyes after meditating for seven times.

To his relief, this time, the pendulum did not continue to rotate clockwise.

"It's not against me, is it just an accident to find me? Accident..." Klein thought of the word, and his head hurt again. He is really nervous about chance and coincidence now, but after thinking about it, he decided to investigate. .

As the saying goes, "If you don't step on it, the pit will always be there." Even if this "coincidence" is really the kind of "coincidence" you think, if you leave it alone, you will only usher in more "coincidences". Just go and have a look, let yourself enter the script as a dragon set, so that it is convenient for yourself to use the person above the gray fog for further divination.

Even if you can't find the real murderer behind the scenes, at least you can see a house or a hand like before.

Having made up his mind, Klein visualized the feeling of falling back to reality, and once again picked up the information left by Mr. Melas.

After I had doubts in my heart, the content of this document also became suspicious. The first thing to say is that it is too comprehensive.

If it's just to investigate an infidelity, it's enough to have an address, photos, habits, and itinerary, plus at most some details like social circles.

But this file, including Mrs. Melas's father's title, political inclination, financial situation, etc., has been clearly investigated. From this perspective, it is more like a commission from a political opponent to dig up his opponent's daughter's black information - if it wasn't for the other party. Without preparing the lady's underwear, Klein had to wonder if the other party knew that he was a fortune teller!

"Of course, it is also possible that this information was originally collected by Mr. Melas when he was searching for a suitable springboard when he was preparing to enter the upper class of Backlund. This time, it was just a waste of recycling."

Klein comforted himself in his heart, put on cheap clothes that would not hurt even if it got dirty, and prepared to go out. Although he knew that this matter might not be so simple, he still decided to take it seriously. After all, a ten-pound commission was already Enough for his two and a half months' rent!
