The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

"Mr. Fool, Bernadette came to me again." Louise said.

I knew that it must be no small matter to make Miss Power take things so seriously... Klein sighed silently, but at the same time, he also felt like a big stone had fallen to the ground.

He did not respond, maintaining the depth and dignity of Mr. Fool, and only listened to Miss Power continue:

"Bernadette is very smart. She guessed some of the relationship between me and Mr. Fool, and even knew about your interest in Russell's diary, so she asked me to make a communication request to you."

Louise raised her head, glanced at "The Fool" Klein, who was shrouded in gray mist, then lowered his head and said:

"Bernadette claims to have a large number of Russell's diaries in her hand and wants to pass them on to you through me. However, her purpose is just to get answers to a few questions."

Finally, she even added:

"These are Bernadette's proactive requests. She also specifically asked me to express my sincerity to you without any disrespect."

Klein couldn't help but quietly rolled his eyes. If Bernadette knew that I, the "Fool", was just a Sequence Seven "Magician", then it wouldn't be a matter of respect!

But after ignoring this point, Klein felt that this matter seemed to have great potential!

As Russell's eldest daughter, Bernadette is now a big shot in the mysterious world. She must have kept many Russell's diaries in her hands, maybe based on the entire volume... This is a considerable sum of money for herself.

of wealth.

Klein thought for a while, what would happen if he agreed... Bernadette handed over the diary through Miss "Power", and he would not meet her at all, so naturally there was no risk of being exposed.

As for the question raised by Bernadette, it must be related to Russell. If he knows, then he can answer it. If he is not clear, he can only figure it out... This may be a difficult problem, but Klein already has some ideas about it.

A lot of experience, not to mention, there is nothing that can be rewarded without taking risks.

At least, the initiative is in your own hands.

After some brainstorming, Klein quickly came to his own conclusion, and he was inclined to agree to Bernadette's request.

As for how Bernadette learned about the connection between Miss Power and The Fool, and why she chose her as the communication channel... Klein said that if he was really the Fool, he would definitely question him, but it would be very difficult to

It's a pity that he isn't. He can't even afford to offend Miss Power, let alone Bernadette, who is the lowest ranked demigod!

Miss "Strength" and Bernadette, in Klein's eyes, have already become an "alliance" group. It doesn't matter who came up with this idea, because their goal is also very simple, that is

Chasing Russell's trail.

The key is that only he can understand Chinese, which is the biggest bargaining chip... Klein established some psychological advantages for himself, and then he chuckled, as if he was just looking at the playfulness of a junior, and spoke out

said:

"Tell Bernadette that I can forgive her this time."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was equivalent to agreeing to Bernadette's request. Klein gently laid his eyes on Miss Power's face and said in a deep voice:

"Besides, Russell is still alive."

Having said that, without waiting for Miss Power's reaction, he lifted the block on other members of the "Tarot Society".

Klein wasn't sure if Russell was still talking, but he could draw some conjectures from the previous diary, and coupled with Miss "Strength" and Bernadette's unremitting pursuit, he could be sure after thinking about it... After all

, if Russell is really dead, what is the point of people who are close to him searching for him?

As for why he is unwilling to say more, it is naturally to maintain his status as a "fool". God's reminders are always concise and concise. The more important reason is that there are so many wrong words!

When Louise heard this, she couldn't help being slightly stunned. Of course she knew that Russell was still alive, but Klein didn't know that yet!

Good guy, are you pretending to be in front of me?

Then, she suddenly remembered that she had asked the question "Is Russell still alive?" Klein might be answering, but it must also be because he was trying to draw a cake for Bernadette...

After thinking briefly, Louise got a rough idea of ​​Klein's thoughts and chuckled in her heart without saying anything else.

Afterwards, the "Tarot Club" entered into a relatively relaxed time of communicating with each other.

Everyone casually chatted about their experiences and stories during the week. The only thing worth mentioning was that, perhaps because he had obtained part of the formula for "Windwinder", "The Hanged Man" Alger seemed more active than usual.

He talked about some recent news at sea:

"After the death of Qilingos, a new pirate general emerged, a powerful female pirate, 'Vice Admiral Disease' Tracy. According to rumors, she recently issued a pursuit order for another woman, with a very high reward.

"

"Many pirates have joined this hunt. Some of them want to go further, and some just want to see the appearance of 'Vice Admiral Disease'... In short, the recent sea is not very calm."

Fors listened with great interest, and had even conceived a story in his mind about a female pirate and a male noble boy. However, the protagonists in the story told by Mr. "The Hanged Man" were actually two women. This is not very common, and the sales volume should be

Not too high...

Louise didn't care much about this. She was not unfamiliar with what happened at sea, because Mr. Hunter, the butler, would send a telegram every once in a while, detailing the changes in the situation at sea and the growth and changes of her team.

.

Maybe Tracy caught a woman and let her escape... Louise thought indifferently, anyway, the same thing will happen to this maverick "witch" in the future, and she will even be killed by Klein

Assassinate once...

As I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard "The Fool" Klein tapping the table twice.

Just when everyone thought that today's gathering was over, Klein suddenly materialized several pieces of parchment, distributed them in front of everyone, and said:

"This is the meaning of some of Russell's secret symbols. It is free knowledge so that you can better collect diaries."

What was written on it was the number part and the year, month and day part, because Klein was already disgusted with the "bunch of garbled words" in Russell's diary, and he did not want to pay the price for such meaningless things.

In particular, Miss "Strength" is about to get more and more Russell's diaries from Bernadette, so he has to make some preparations in advance!

After accepting everyone's gratitude, Klein smiled and said:

"Today's party ends here."
