Secret: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

191

Klein was stunned, then frowned deeply, thinking about the organizational language: "No, old Kohler, you don't have to do this."

"I previously entrusted you to be my informant to help me investigate the current situation in the East District, so you deserve these fees."

"As for Liv, I don't know if I can help her find her missing little daughter, and I just want to do it without any reward."

"Even so..." The guilt of deceiving Klein made Old Kohler feel painful. He concealed the fact that the members of the Aurora Society were successfully hiding in the East District with the help of Miss Maria, and concealed the fact that Mr. A was preaching in the East District. They are all good people, but there is no doubt that they are a cult. Although the smart detective may find out soon, the feeling of deceiving his benefactor is still extremely painful, and he can't help but lower his head.

"Please accept it."

"..." Klein sighed, and had no choice but to take away a 5 sole note, stopping Old Kohler from continuing to stuff money into his hand. "I understand your intention, but, Old Kohler, you You also have a daughter to raise. Your daughter is so thin, don’t you want to buy her more food? Keep these as it is for your Taylor.”

Old Kohler was stunned, thinking of his daughter who was tired and haggard every day, and could no longer say the words that came to her lips.

"Thank you, thank you, you are really a good person." He wiped his eyes vigorously, "I understand."

Klein breathed a sigh of relief, put on his hat, and said with a smile: "Then take me to Liv's house."

Joe Wood District.

Hugh started his life as a bounty hunter again, and Forsi, in order to speed up the progress of the new book, finally completed the manuscript of the drama he collaborated with Mr. Edward Vaughn today. She successfully completed the editorial task before November, and can receive her remuneration after today. She hopes to save enough money for the extraordinary materials needed for the "Master of Magic" as soon as possible.

But writing a new book doesn’t mean you can write it just because you want to. The time agreed with Mr. Edward had not yet arrived, Forsi scratched his hair irritably and decided to go for a walk to find inspiration.

As she walked, she found that she had returned to a familiar place without realizing it. Diagonally in front of her is the Yousef Clinic where she first worked, a rather large private practice.

After staring for a while, Foer thought of the old lady who led him into the extraordinary world, so he turned to the alley on the right and took a shortcut to a nearby street. Forsi remembered that the old lady lived in the house at No. 39—she would occasionally come to deliver medicine or give injections, and even help with some daily chores.

"It's been almost three years. The place should have been rented out again. Maybe there have been several tenant changes... I still remember that when I came to sort out the belongings, I found a lot of notes recording my occult experiences..." It has been a long time since winter, and the trees have withered. Forsi walked under the sycamore tree with few leaves left, and slowly approached the house No. 39. As she recalled her past experiences, she gradually gained some inspiration for writing.

At this moment, she saw an old man wearing a heavy woolen coat and a half-high black top hat standing at the door of the house No. 39, and rang the doorbell three times.

After a few minutes, no one opened the door. The old man with blue eyes shook his head and turned around, and whispered in confusion: "There is still no one..."

He suddenly found Forsi who was staying not far away, looking here. He quickly walked over and smiled gently and eagerly: "Beautiful lady, do you live in this neighborhood? Do you know her?" Roberto and Anlisa?"

Anlisa? Isn't this the old lady's name? This house has no recent tenants? Forsi said after careful consideration: "I don't know if the Mrs. Anlisa I know is the one you want to find. She lived here for a long time, but passed away three years ago."

"Died three years ago? Where's Roberto?" The old man with wrinkles at the corners of his eyes hurriedly asked.

"Her husband passed away earlier than her." She answered honestly.

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then showed a sad expression. He was silent for a moment and said: "Thank you, kind lady.

"I am Lao Boluo's brother, and I have been living in Jianhai County. Because I haven't received a letter from them for a long time, I decided to come and take a look.

"Can you tell me a little bit about what happened to them in those years?"

Mrs. Anlisa's husband's brother... could he be a descendant of the family she mentioned? Forsi suddenly became alert and responded with a smile: "No problem." She quickly thought about what she could and could not say.

The old man pointed to the side and behind and said: "There is a good cafe there..."

Fors was about to nod in agreement when he suddenly heard a familiar male voice coming from behind him: "Miss Fors?"

This voice is... I forgot that Mr. Edward Vaughan lived in Cherwood. Isn't this very close to his home? She turned her head and saw her acquaintance as expected. Fors was stunned for a moment: "Hello, Mr. Vaughn, I'm taking a walk. It's not the time we agreed on yet? I might want to talk to this old gentleman first."

Edward, who was holding the handbag he was going to use to hold the manuscript and wearing a dark gray woolen coat, looked at his watch after hearing this, and then smiled at Forsi: "No problem, there is still more than one month left before our agreement. Hours. Miss Fors, you can do your thing first."

"Okay." Forsi relaxed and flipped his hair.

The old man from the Abraham family looked at Edward covertly, but he didn't see any clues, and the spiritual intuition of the "astrologer" didn't have any predictions, so he thought that this was just an ordinary person.

Now that he had met Forsi and it was not too long before the agreed time, Edward canceled the original reservation and decided to go with them. After getting their consent, we went to the cafe. Forsi and the old man entered a small booth in the cafe to talk, while he sat down at a booth outside, put down his bag, ordered a cup of coffee, a cake, found a newspaper, and waited patiently for them to finish talking.

Are Abraham's survivors looking for someone? It didn't look like they were heading for Forsi, which meant that their encounter was probably a convergence of extraordinary characteristics, a coincidence... The waiter put the coffee beans into the tool and slowly shook the rocker to grind the coffee. , the rustling sound sounds very relaxing.

He ordered the best coffee beans available in this small cafe, and the hazelnut cake was freshly made and took a few minutes to be served. Edward didn't go out of his way to listen to the conversation between Forsi and the old man. He waited leisurely for the food and coffee to be served, just to relax and pass the time.

When the waiter brought the condensed cream coffee to the table, Edward noticed that Forsi had come out, but instead of walking toward him, he asked the waiter about the location of the bathroom and then left.

After a few more minutes, Edward suddenly felt a familiar, strange pinprick-like chill.

This extremely weird feeling was still fresh in the memory of the Declined King. It belonged to the aura of the Source Castle of the blessed Xuanhuang Tianzun!

Facing Yuanbao and Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun in this situation?! Under the cover of layers of clothes, goosebumps appeared on Edward's arms in the blink of an eye. The stress reaction almost made him realize all the fine scales and exoskeleton. But in the next second, he was forcibly calmed down. The Decline King pushed aside the part of the simulated human consciousness and temporarily took control of the body. He raised his eyes to look, but at this time the ethereal feeling belonging to Origin Castle had disappeared, replaced by——

Forsi left the bathroom and reappeared in His eyes.

Her body was covered with a thin layer of gray mist.

Above the gray fog, after putting down the paper man and completing Forsi's prayer, Klein temporarily put the Abraham family's affairs behind him.

According to the original plan, he materialized a pen and paper and wrote a divination sentence: "Daisy's current situation."

After putting down the pen, Klein stacked Daisy's word book and the paper with the divination sentences together and held them in his left hand.

Then, while leaning back in his chair and entering a meditative state, he silently recited "Daisy's current situation" over and over again.

After seven times, Klein fell asleep. His eyes were first dark and red, and then gray. Pictures flashed forward, some coherent, some jumping, and some illogical.

Klein saw the washerwoman Liv's youngest daughter. The thirteen- or fourteen-year-old girl who had been repeatedly burned by steam but still insisted on ironing her clothes was covered with a handkerchief from behind by a man wearing a heavy jacket and a gray-black peaked cap. , forcibly dragged into a side road in a remote alley.

Another man dressed similarly took hold of her legs, lifted her up together with his companions, and walked quickly.

Their goal was the carriage parked outside the alley. The whole process ended in less than two minutes. By the time Daisy's sister Freya came back to look for her, the carriage had already driven away.

…

In the carriage, the confused Daisy had a cold and sharp dagger pressed against her face, and dirty threatening words were heard in her ears.

…

The carriage drove into Kapin's luxurious villa.

…

Daisy was in a small, dark room, and women's cries, screams and curses echoed outside from time to time.

…

Daisy woke up and shouted for help, but someone opened the door and kicked her down. She was in so much pain that she couldn't stand up. She shed tears and kept whispering words such as "Mom" and "Flea".

…………

Klein opened his eyes and found that the paper he held in his left palm had been squeezed tightly into a ball at some point.

He has determined that Kapin is the leader of many cases of missing girls and that he is the boss of a criminal group.

But the problem is that this kind of case should not and cannot involve too strong extraordinary power. At most, there will be a few Sequence 7, Sequence 8, and Sequence 9 people who are greedy for money to help. Klein will not be allowed to use spiritual power as soon as he approaches the villa. Intuitively feel the danger.

Even if the danger level is raised, it should not be to the extent that even Maria, the gang leader in the East District, throws caution to the wind. After all, Maria should be at least a mid-sequence Extraordinary, and she is an Extraordinary like "Lawyer" who is good at both close combat and ability combat. Not to mention that there are other subordinates who actually need a private detective to investigate the internal route, with the purpose of sneaking in to rescue them. It's really weird to fight people instead of fighting head-on.

Could it be that Kaping himself is a Sequence 6 or even a Sequence 5 Beyonder? But it is not difficult for extraordinary people at this level to make money. There is no need to do such dirty and cumbersome things. It is simpler and easier to directly find various gangs and collect protection fees one by one. It is also less dirty. He took his own hands... Is there any hidden agenda in Kaping's human trafficking? While thinking about it, Klein used the power of the gray mist to restore Daisy's vocabulary book to a smooth state.

After a few seconds of silence, he materialized a piece of parchment again and wrote a new divination sentence: "Saving Daisy is a dangerous thing."

After calming down for a few seconds, he closed his eyes and silently recited the divination sentence he had just written. When the sound stopped, Klein opened his eyes and looked at the pendulum held in his left hand. The citrine pendant is rotating clockwise, very fast and with a large amplitude!

This means affirmation and means that saving Daisy is a very dangerous thing!

Then Miss Maria... no, it is very dangerous for me, but it should not be completely despairing for her. There is still a lot of possibility. As long as I can grasp it, if I can get a complete Road map, or I join in to help them in some special way, as long as I can do it... Klein interpreted the inspiration given by the "Pendulum Method".

He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and laughed to himself: "Aren't you looking for an opportunity to perform actively?"

"This is!"

"As a magician, you still have to challenge some difficult things, otherwise you should be called a magician, not a magician. Accomplishing seemingly impossible things, even if the result is false, is the magician in my heart. Whether image is one of the codes remains to be confirmed..."

"But my first goal is still to get the route map, and then help Miss Maria who has infiltrated while ensuring her own safety, at least not to let her operation fail."

Thinking of this, Klein regained some sense, tapped his fingers on the edge of the ancient long table, and made a quick decision. The biggest difficulty for him, or for Maria, in rescuing Daisy and dealing with Capin is that they don't know each other at all. They don't know how many extraordinary people are in that villa and which category they belong to. Which sequence does it take?

This prevented Klein from making targeted preparations, which was why Maria had no choice but to seek help from the detective.

For "magicians", the first rule is, "No unprepared performances"!

"Actually, in this regard, if I can't even use Miss Maria's connections, then it will be useless for me to ask for help from Miss Justice or Miss Magic and her friends. Unless, I do it myself. , get the information you want from the servants or bodyguards who come out of Caping's villa, using the 'psychic' method."

After finalizing the plan and steps, in an instant, his figure disappeared into the majestic palace above the gray mist.

After lunch, Klein followed his plan and successfully possessed a man who served Kapin. He took control of his body and went to a nearby cheap hotel to perform summoning and psychic rituals.

The man suddenly turned over and sat up, opened his eyes, and looked quite dull. He stood up straight, walked step by step to the front of the altar, and then recited in a low voice: "You are a fool who does not belong to this era;"

"You are the mysterious master above the gray fog;"

"You are the yellow and black king of good luck."

In the monotonous but rhythmic whispers and the fragrance that made it difficult to concentrate, the man's spiritual body gradually dispersed, and the whole person became muddled but maintained a certain degree of strange sobriety, as if he was undergoing self-hypnosis. With the "help" of Klein in the spiritual form, and under the influence of the feedback brought by reciting the name of "The Fool", he gradually entered the state of "artificial sleepwalking", and the astral body approached the gray patch at the infinite height. The fog is approaching the mysterious place above the gray fog.

Klein seized this opportunity, ended the summons, returned to the majestic ancient palace, and sat down in the seat belonging to "The Fool."

"Who are the powerful people in Kapin Villa?" Klein asked through the interactive spirituality.

The phantom transmitted the scene in his memory without any resistance, making Klein feel like he was watching a holographic movie: the man wearing a peaked cap stood fearfully and respectfully in the room, and in front of him was a man in a black tuxedo. , a middle-aged gentleman wearing a white hairband.

This gentleman has a long, thin and serious face, and his mouth is naturally pursed, giving people an unusually indifferent feeling. There was a mysterious light in his eyes that made it impossible to go against his words.

…

The man wearing a peaked cap carried an unconscious girl along the stairs to the entrance of the underground area.

There, there was a small separated room, in which sat a bearded man of unknown age. This bearded man had a pair of cold and frightening blue eyes. He was holding a fine velvet cloth in his hand and was carefully wiping the gray and white complex rifle on the table. The rifle was thick and long, connected to a huge mechanical box of the same color through pipes.

A dangerous person possessing a controlled firearm.

…

The man wearing a peaked cap entered the underground building, which was neatly laid out like a prison, locked the unconscious girl into one of the small rooms, and reluctantly touched her sensitive parts.

He locked the door, returned to the corridor, and raised the lantern. At this moment, he saw a figure walking slowly deep in the corridor at the other end. The figure's gaze seemed to be able to see through the darkness, and it did not carry any lighting device.

The man in the peaked cap used the light of the lantern to discover that it was a woman of about thirty years old. The woman wore a brown bonnet with an upturned middle, a thin white shirt, suspender trousers, and a pair of cowhide-colored boots that reached to her knees. There were several old scars on her face, and there was always a cruel smile on her lips.

A woman with a fierce temperament and who seems to be good at fighting.

No new characters appeared after that. There are four Beyonders in total, at least four... The strongest one should be Mr. Heras, at least Sequence 6, maybe even Sequence 5... I don’t know what the path is, it is somewhat similar to the "Black Emperor" path... Rely on order and issue laws? Based on the scene just now, it can be preliminarily judged that the ban only targets the underground area and does not include the entire villa. Also, people come and go during the day. Once it is closed, it will be too troublesome to get in and out... I wonder if the same is true at night... Klein's analysis Based on the information he just obtained, he asked again:

"What is the overall layout of the villa like?"

He quickly received feedback and saw the splendid hall, the elegant and spacious restaurant, the corridor running through the first floor, as well as the bathroom, underground area and other scenes.

Through them, Klein pieced together the general layout of Kapin Villa in his mind. And he quickly drew a precise sketch. Time was urgent, and he was going to hand it to Miss Maria in person later.

Otherwise, with the speed of Backlund's postman, I don't know when this letter will be delivered. Saving people now is like putting out fires. In order to prevent worse things from happening, I can't waste a minute...

Klein took a silent breath and his expression became firm.

————————

*In order to obscure the divination of Abraham's family, Forsi asked the Fool for a paper angel.

This part of the plot is longer and I have to break it down.

You should be able to play the next chapter.

The previous chapter mentioned one of the children raised by the Ernst Foundation, little Alia, so let me add a little setting by the way.

Orphans raised by the Ernst Foundation, those without names, tokens, birth certificates, and parents to recognize them, will be given a name first, and then they will be asked to give themselves a surname, or give the person in charge a name. The surnames are put together to draw lots.

Alia's name was drawn by lot, and she chose the surname of the director of the Almshouse in Tingen, so her full name was Alia Villiana.
