Chapter Fifty-FiveRevelation Anna, with her beautiful eyes, hesitated for a dozen seconds before saying, “You may choose whichever method you believe to be most effective. You are the diviner, and I am not. Of course, aside from playing cards, including tarot cards. I have tried studying them at home and always feel they are more like toys, like a game.” Klein pondered briefly. Elbows resting against the edge of the table, hands clasped before his mouth and nose, he looked at her with calm eyes…-

Chapter Fifty-FourThe First Querent Seeing Klein’s surprised expression, Angelica immediately wavered a little. “Is that not true? Mr. Glacis said that you relied only on observation to discover a hidden illness in his lungs…” Her voice grew quieter and quieter, until she finally closed her mouth. Observation? Darkness between the brows? Klein abruptly understood. Shaking his head, he laughed. “I believe Mr. Glacis misunderstood.” He had originally intended to brush the…

Chapter Fifty-ThreeListener Over a sea ravaged by storms, an ancient three-masted sailing ship rose and fell with the waves. It was not fast, nor was it especially large. Amid this disastrous scene where sky and sea merged into one, it looked like a withered leaf torn from a tree. Yet no matter how savage the hurricane grew or how terrifying the waves became, it sailed on safely, never tilting. Alger Wilson stood on the empty deck, gazing at the towering waves around him, not knowing what he was…

Chapter Fifty-TwoSpectator “Do not think about that damned bill anymore. Let us discuss ritual magic.” With an easy expression, Old Neil began putting away the candles, cauldron, silver knife, and other objects. Klein very much wanted to shrug like an American from his previous life, but in the end he restrained the ungentlemanly motion. He turned his attention back to ritual magic itself, asking one detailed question after another about the points that had puzzled him. Each received a…

Chapter Fifty-OneDown-to-Earth Ritual Magic Use magic to resolve a bill? Is he going to directly curse the creditor to death, or forge banknotes? I may not be able to solve the problem, but I can solve you? … All kinds of thoughts leapt through Klein’s mind. The way he looked at Old Neil grew a little strange. He seriously considered the possibility of calling the police—no, of reporting him to the Nighthawk team. Old Neil glanced at him and said irritably, “From your eyes, I…

Chapter FiftyOld Neil’s Method for Repaying a Debt Half past seven in the evening, beside the dining table of the Moretti household. “Klein, why do you, as a consultant, need to arrive early as well? Are emergency matters at a security company rather dangerous?” Benson asked while spearing a potato from the stewed beef with his fork. His question carried concern hidden beneath casual words. Klein carefully spat out a bone from the pan-fried meat fish. Prepared for such a question, he…

Chapter Forty-NineDivination As a Seer who had only just stepped through the door of mysticism, Klein dared not claim he understood much. Yet he was certainly far more knowledgeable than an ordinary person. He knew that all kinds of divination methods could be sorted into three great categories according to a certain standard. That standard was the source of the “revelation.” The first category included tarot, playing cards, pendulums, dowsing, dreams, and similar methods. These relied on the…

Chapter Forty-EightHynas Vincent Howes Street, Number 13, North Borough, Tingen City. The Divination Club occupied the second floor. Once again, Klein saw the pretty lady responsible for reception. Her long brownish-yellow hair was still coiled up, giving her a mature and elegant appearance. Merely from her looks, it was difficult to judge her exact age. “Hello. Mr. Glacis is not here today. Would you like to choose another diviner?” the pretty lady said with a smile. Hearing this,…

Chapter Forty-SevenCash-Strapped Old Neil Old Neil rubbed his temples. “The reason you three killed yourselves is now more or less clear. The notebook has also reached Ray Bieber’s hands, and the matter has already been exposed. Whether you are alive or dead, you can hardly affect what follows. I think—I believe—that the strange existence or mysterious power responsible for all this will no longer pay special attention to you. It would be like you not caring about ants on the ground. Heh. So…

Chapter Forty-SixPortrait “Urgh! Urgh!” Klein crouched there, vomiting uncontrollably. Because he had not eaten breakfast, he quickly emptied what little his stomach held. At that moment, a square tin-colored flask, shaped somewhat like a cigarette case, appeared before his eyes. From the unstoppered mouth of the flask came a mixed scent resembling tobacco, disinfectant, and mint leaves. It rushed into Klein’s nose with such force that he nearly choked, and his whole body suddenly grew…
