The Lord Of The Mysteries

The Chapter 204

Klein and Leonard raised their gazes from the letter and exchanged glances. They muttered, "He's crazy, right?"

"Lanevus is secretly a lunatic?"

A madman who really has delusional disorder and antisocial personality disorder. Klein thinks and feels a pull in his heart. He quickly turned his eyes to the letter.

"Gentlemen and ladies, the clue is that I have placed the bomb in Tingen, a bomb that will grow stronger over time.

"Find and finish before it explodes. If you lose, there will be an explosion, and the entire city of Tingen will crumble into ruins. Trust me, I'm not lying about this at all.

"—Lanevus, who is happy to give pleasant surprises to his friends."

"A bomb?" Klein looked at Leonard and muttered to himself, puzzled.

Leonard lifted the letter towards the sunlight and looked as he flipped it over. He found no other clues.

"The term 'bomb' may be a phrase. I've never heard of a bomb that can grow stronger."

Klein furrowed his brows and said while thinking, "No, I mean, he might use a 'bomb' to refer to something in mysticism. Like an evil ritual that constantly gathers strength…"

Leonard tilted his head as if he was listening to something when suddenly, his facial expression became solemn.

He nodded as his green eyes narrowed. “Maybe you are right. Wasn't there a description at the beginning? Child labor that dies prematurely, factory workers who rarely live up to ten years after entering the factory because of working conditions, women workers who are at risk… Infinite hatred around every factory.Perhaps, it might be a source of energy that constantly amplifies the bomb Lanevus.”.

"Yes .. that's very possible!" Klein suddenly became tense and said, "We should report to the Captain immediately!"

Leonard laughed and said, "There's no need to be too nervous.You should know that Lanevus is a Cheater. The part where he said that he wasn't lying was probably the lie itself.

"Of course, regardless, we should return to Zouteland Road to report to the Captain. It is better if we can ask the Sacred Cathedral to send a mystic and find the location of the altar through abnormal accumulation of hatred."

Someone seemed to be very familiar with the protocol.But why would such an altar arrangement require the help of Hood Eugen? What is the role of a psychiatrist in this? Klein did not mind the idea. He left 62 Howes Street with Leonard and rushed back to Zouteland Street in a rented car.

As they entered the door of the Blackthorn Security Company, Klein saw two familiar faces, one voluptuous and one skinny. They were Maynard's wife and sister.

They were still wearing black dresses and black hats. A fine checkered black gauze covered their faces.

The two women chatted with Rozanne, and when they suddenly saw Klein's return, they turned around and walked forward.

"You're really the best in the industry." Mrs Maynard slightly nodded and said in a low voice, "i'm very pleased with the results and also impressed with your work approach. This is the gift you deserve."

The skinny woman gave Klein a light brown paper bag. It was filled with a thick pile of cash. There are ten pound notes, five pound notes, one pound notes, and also five soli and one soli notes.

"It's 230 pounds in total" the skinny woman said simply.

Klein was in no mood to pay attention to the money. He gave it to Rozanne and said, "Take this to Mrs. Orianna.I doubt the two honorable ladies will make a mistake in counting money."

At that moment, the corner of her eyes caught the Honest Paper of Tingen City in the hands of Madam Maynard. In the most eye-catching spot on the front page, there were two news stories.

The widow of an old baron dies in complicity with the murder of Maynard's lawmaker.

Mayor Dennis was blamed for deteriorating public security at Tingen over the past three months and resigned.

So that's the official reason for Madam Sharon's case? I haven't read the paper today. Klein nodded at the two women and followed Leonard through the partition into the Captain's office.

"Hows it? Did you find any clues?" Dunn Smith closed his documents, raised his head, and looked at Klein and Leonard with his deep gray eyes.

"We found the letter left behind by Lanevus." Leonard gave no further description and only gave the Captain a letter filled with insanity and provocation.

Dunn opened the letter and scanned it quickly. He rubbed his temples as he said, "He's really a crazy person."

"He's only Order 8, Order 7 at most."

Klein agreed from the bottom of his heart. "Lanevus is a dangerous figure who can undermine the stability of social order. Even though he's weak, we can't underestimate him."

Then, he told the Captain of his and Leonard's assumptions.

Dunn touched her receding hairline as she said, "That was also my thought. I will immediately send a telegram to the Sacred Cathedral and ask them to send a mystic to ask for help.

"Who knows how dangerous the Lanevus bomb is. We have to be very careful. When the Holy Cathedral retaliates against me, I will arrange for its follow-up."

Klein and Leonard exchanged glances and nodded at the same time as they said, "Alright."

Taking advantage of the moment when the Captain sent a telegram to the Sacred Cathedral, Klein returned to the reception hall to retrieve a copy of Tingen City's Honest Paper from Rozanne.

He stood on the partition and read the two articles with full concentration.

"… The widow of an elderly noble of the Khoy family, Mrs Sharon, was allegedly involved in the sudden death of Member of Parliament Maynard. They discover that Lady Sharon and her accomplice have dropped her servant to perform a pagan ceremony in her bedroom.They refuse to surrender and attempt to resist arrest, resulting in the death of a heroic police officer.

"Finally, Madam Sharon and her conspirators paid the price for their evil deeds with their lives."

…

"… Mayor Dennis was blamed for the deterioration of public security at Tingen and resigned. He also announced that he would not run for re-election next year. Over the next few months, Vice Mayor Mr. Harry will take the mayor's responsibility ."

…

According to the internal rules of the Nighthawks, in order to prevent the evil forces from taking revenge on their family members, their names would be kept secret even if they sacrificed their lives.

He folded the newspaper quietly and returned it to the reception desk. Klein suddenly saw a visitor walking through the entrance.

She was a young woman, at most in her twenties. She was wearing a disheveled hat and a loose dress. She has beautiful facial features, blonde hair, green eyes, and also a depressed but reserved temperament. She's pretty enough.

The thing that caught his attention the most was his bulging stomach. She looked like she was more than seven months pregnant.

Klein was astonished, and he felt like he had seen the young pregnant woman before.

Suddenly, he heard Leonard say in surprise, "Miss Megose?"

Megose..Yes, the young lady who was tricked by Lanevus! She was pregnant with Lanevus' child, and because of that, there might be something wrong with her mental health. He says his son sings in his stomach and whistles too. Klein is suddenly enlightened and he is not surprised that Leonard knows Megose.

When they relaunched the investigation of people associated with Lanevus, the photo of the woman had been seen by every Nighthawk.

Klein knew him early. His aunt Christina, whose savings had been cheated by Lanevus, had taken him to the Divination Club for help. Her aunt even asked if the child in her stomach could be used for divination.

Then, when Megose heard Leonard's voice, she looked at the two of them blankly and replied politely, "Hello."

"Miss Megose, what brings you to the Blackthorn Security Company? Do you want us to do something for you?" Klein took two steps forward and asked.

He is very confused by Megose's sudden visit. He felt it was an extreme coincidence.

We just found Lanevus' letter, and Megose came to visit?

Megose touched her stomach and smiled faintly.

"Somehow, I suddenly thought of coming to Zouteland Street and suddenly thought of coming to see it."

His mental health seemed to have deteriorated. Klein recalled that he had not managed to activate his Spirit Vision and check Megose's situation earlier. Therefore, he raised his teeth and was about to knock on his left molar.

Just then, a series of thoughts shouted in his head with increasing intensity.

"Don't look!

"Don't look! Don't look!

"you're going to die!

"You'll die if you see it!

"You'll die if you look!"

…

Klein stood glued to the spot like a statue as his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

It was like having such a deep and heavy nightmare that he could barely wake up.

Suddenly, he understood something. He failed to activate his Spirit Vision last time because his spirituality had realized unimaginable danger. It slowed him down subconsciously, so he missed the opportunity and forgot his follow-up.

At that time, Klein had yet to fully digest the Seer potion, and he had yet to advance to Order 8, so the warning of spirituality was very subtle and difficult to notice. But now, Clown's spiritual foresight was so clear and clear!

After nearly twenty seconds, Klein finally eliminated his paralysis. He looked sideways at Leonard and realized that the Midnight Poet was also covered in cold sweat, and his eyes were filled with fear.

Suddenly, Klein understood what the bomb that Lanevus meant!

It's a baby in Megose's belly!

That's the baby he left!

Klein suddenly related the description in the letter to Hood Eugen's reply, and he suddenly recalled something he had read in the diary of Emperor Roselle.

"i started the Industrial Revolution with my own hands and personally ushered in the Age of Steam and Machines, but this will only be a hotbed of the descent of Evil Gods into this world?"

Klein's pupils constricted as he thought of a possibility he instinctively rejected.

Nah! That's not true!

The baby in Megose's belly couldn't be the son of an evil god or an evil god waiting to descend into the world!

Nah! Why would Hood Eugen do such a ridiculous thing! Although her Psychiatric powers can help Lanevus deceive Megose and use her as a spawning container in her semi-unconscious state…

Nah! The resentment of child labor dying prematurely, and factory workers and female workers living less than ten years did not help the evil god's son to grow up quickly!

Nah!

Y-you may not look directly at the Gods …
