The Lord Of The Mysteries

Chapter 163

Whahuh? Klein was taken aback when he heard Rozanne's question. He recalled in a daze, "i previously visited Old Neil's place last month.I saw the piano in the living room and he told me that his late wife loved music …"

As he spoke, Klein suddenly became worried as he began to have unpleasant thoughts.

Rozanne furrowed her beautiful brows and said hesitantly, "Maybe I remembered wrongly. No, Mrs Orianna and I frequented Old Neil's place during the early half of this year. There was no piano in the living room at the time. I remember clearly asking her why she chose to remain single. The answer is that he has not met a woman he wants to marry … "

There were no pianos during the first half of the year, and she answered the question of why she chose to remain single. Klein stiffened and asked in a deep voice, "Rozanne, how long has it been since you visited Old Neil's place? "

"Never since Kenley became a Nighthawk, and Viola chose to resign as an employee. I've been burning midnight oil or chasing sleep, so how could I have time to visit him? It has been .. since the beginning of June." Rozanne became a little confused after receiving the question, so all she did was answer honestly.

Klein's heart sank, as if he felt something was wrong.

He took out half a pence from his pocket and held it between his thumb and middle finger.

He took a deep breath and quickly decided on the divination statement.

"There's something wrong with Old Neil's current situation.

"There's something wrong with Old Neil's current situation."

…

His pupils quickly darkened as he read the statement inwardly and entered Cogitation.

ding!

He flicked his thumb, pushed the brass coin into the air and let it spin.

Pa!

The coin fell right into Klein's open palm.

This time, a portrait of George III faces upwards.

The portrait signifies that it is true, that it is positive.

That means there is something wrong with the current situation of Old Neil!

As Klein clenched the coin, he suddenly recalled the pair of cold, ruthless eyes without eyebrows that he had seen behind Old Neil when he had just become a Beyonder and was experimenting with his Spirit Vision.

Old Neil had explained that a pair of eyes was characteristic of ritual magic!

That's right, I also saw an almost formless human figure near the door on the edge of the light. The color of his aura was identical to the darkness around him. Also, after I digested the Seer potion completely, I quietly changed the way I activated my Spirit Vision into my left molar beat. I happened to see Old Neil and he suddenly coughed loudly. Scene after scene appeared in Klein's mind, changing his expression grimly.

Rozanne looked at him and asked in fear, "Did Old Neil lose control? Impossible, even though he was petty and stingy, and wanted to be replaced for all his expenses, he was still a good person. He is rarely angry. Impossible. , he will not lose control..”.

"i'm not sure, but I think Old Neil is on the verge of losing control." Klein comforts Rozanne. He quickly walked through the partition and opened the door to the Captain's office.

Dunn Smith was struck by a sudden disturbance, almost choking on her coffee.

"What's going on?" He did not blame Klein, his expression instantly became firm.

Klein replied simply without hiding anything, "Captain, my prophecy tells me that something is wrong with Old Neil.

"Last month, Old Neil told me that his late wife loved music, but today, Rozanne told me that she has remained single all along.

“Also, on the day I became a Beyonder, I saw a pair of mysterious eyes looking at everything behind Old Neil. There was also an almost transparent human figure near the door that was spying on us. He told me that it was a ritualistic characteristic of magic.

"i felt something was wrong and, thus, tried to predict."

After Dunn finished listening carefully, she immediately stood up. As he walked up to the mantle rack, he asked puzzledly, "Why don't you directly guess if Old Neil lost control?"

"Over the past month, Old Neil has not acted differently than the usual Beyonders. He even worked with me to help Swain deal with the Mandated Punisher who lost control. I also observed the color of his aura from time to time, and noticed that he was relatively healthy in addition to his weakness due to his age. So, I think he almost lost control. He could still be saved, "Klein explained his point of view in one breath.

Dunn put on her black hat and jacket before nodding.

“A very reasonable reduction..Let's pay a visit to Old Neil now, and oh—try not to disturb him if possible.

"After that, we can try to control it and use ritual magic to stabilize its condition so as not to get worse."

Control ... Klein had an idea when he heard this term.

"Captain, can we use the Closed Artifact 3-0611?"

He had been thinking about how he could solve Old Neil's problem and save him, but he hadn't come to an answer because he was too confused, too agitated, and too worried. He was reminded by Dunn Smith's words and recalled that Closed Artifacts might be useful.

"Number: 0611.

Name: Peace Hair Strand.

"Danger Level: 3. Extremely dangerous. It should be used with caution. It can only be applied to surgeries that require three or more people.

"Security classification: Member of Official Nighthawk or higher.

Sealing Method: No direct contact with living organisms.

“As long as contact is made with a living being without any protection, that living being will lose all of its desires and emotions, including, but not limited to: Hunger, Anger, Sadness, Pain, Envy, Jealousy, Anger, Hate, Excitement, Satisfaction, Greed, etc.

"It has been confirmed that living things under the influence of 0611 will even lose the desire to break contact with it. They will remain in their place until the end of their lives.

"If external forces are used to break contact between the person and 0611, then the person will recover gradually. But the experimental data showed that the prerequisite for this was that the person had not been in contact with the Sealed Artifacts for more than two hours. .

"After contact lasts for more than two hours, the victim will be silent forever.

"The "highest recruit tested was Order 5.

"you can avoid contact in a way like wearing gloves.

"Hair hair is not equipped with the ability to live. Has no tendency to escape from seals.

"Attachment: These hair strands appear during failed advances. It was something that was left behind when Captain Nighthawks failed to advance to Sequence 6."

Gray-eyed Dunn nodded after she heard Klein.

"Good advice, I almost forgot about 3-0611. Find Royale in the recreation room. I'll take the Closed Artifact from Chanis Gate and send you the application after we return."

That's how it is, there's no time to waste! Klein did not linger. He immediately went into the recreation room and shouted for the normally expressionless Sleepless Royale.

"What's the mission?" Royale asked calmly.

Klein sighed and said in a serious tone, "Go visit Old Neil."

"Check Old Neil...he?" Royale opened her eyes wide because she had an unpleasant feeling.

"It's not confirmed." Klein shook his head gently.

Royale did not speak any further. They fell silent, turning the atmosphere into a heavy one.

A few minutes passed, and Dunn finally returned from the basement.

He wore black gloves and had tangled black hair on his hands.

Compared to the Sacred Emblem of the Mutated Sun, the Peaceful Hair Strand did not look too strange. It would be polished by people if it was thrown on the street somewhere.

After calling Cesare' driver, the four of them walked over to Old Neil's house.

The wheels of the carriage rolled across the asphalt road which was wet from the rain. The interior of the car is quieter than the night.

It was unknown how long time had passed until Dunn sighed.

"Old Neil did have a partner who would be engaged to him when he was young, but he suddenly became seriously ill. Old Neil took the risk of leaking Beyonders' secrets and tried to use ritual magic to save him, but he did not. Neil was only a novice in mysticism.

"According to the record, the Nighthawks were all on alert, afraid Old Neil would lose control because of this. But luckily, he managed to find his sanity and look normal."

May this also be a false alarm.Klein inevitably drew a red moon in front of his chest and prayed, "May the Goddess take care of him."

Dunn and Royale follow him.

"May the Goddess take care of her."

…

The sky started to get brighter as the dark clouds died down. Nighthawks arrive in front of Old Neil's bungalow.

After making Cesare drive his carriage far away, Dunn calmed down and walked towards the main door, a stick in one hand and Closed Artifacts 3-0611 in the other.

Klein pressed his hat as he and Royale followed behind the Captain. They walked past the rose garden and the gold mint.

When they reached the door, Klein took a step forward and pulled the rope connected to the bell inside the building.

The clink! Clangs!

Pleasant bells echoed in the house as it broke the heavy silence.

The clink! Clangs! The clink! Clangs! Klein pulled a few times, then politely took a step back without trying any further.

The three Nighthawks waited patiently for a few minutes, but they did not hear footsteps approaching the door.

"Maybe Old Neil went to see a doctor and wasn't home." Klein forced a smile.

He had yet to finish his sentence when a melody came from inside the building. It was piano music. It was like a desolate lake shrouded in a thin mist under the moonlight.

Dunn's expression became very firm and grim. Klein's heart was also drowned.

Just as he was about to do another prophecy, he suddenly saw a liquid flowing out of the gap under the door.

The flow of liquid was initially transparent and pure, before it became a deep red, red color similar to blood. It was a very dark red.
