Chapter One Hundred FourMr. Z One pocket. Two pockets. Three pockets… Klein quickly searched out a bloodstained leather wallet, a Deweyville Library borrowing card, two brass-colored keys hanging together, an empty pipe with nothing stuffed inside, a sheathed dagger, and several sheets of letter paper folded with meticulous neatness. After setting everything except the letters aside on the ground, he straightened and, while he was at it, cast a couple of glances at the wallet, confirming that it…-

Chapter One Hundred ThreeA Man Who Heeds His Heart “Residence: Number 19, Howes Street area?” As he memorized the information, Klein keenly grasped a detail. “Mm. Welch’s residence was in the Howes Street area. The Divination Club is in the Howes Street area. This cloth merchant named Sirius Arapis also lives in the Howes Street area… “Viewed this way, it is not strange at all that Welch knew Hynas Vincent. He might even have met him through Sirius Arapis…” All at once, Klein…

Chapter One Hundred TwoThe Cloth Merchant The more Klein thought about it, the more possible it seemed. Otherwise, who would borrow those particular journals for no reason? “Mm. Ancient relics on the main peak of the Hornacis is such an obscure field. Apart from corresponding lecturers and associate professors, ordinary enthusiasts probably have not even heard of it. Even the original owner, a university graduate from the history department, only learned of it from the Antigonus family…

Chapter One Hundred OneAn Unexpected Clue Howes Street area. The Divination Club. Klein pressed the half-top silk hat on his head and climbed the stairs step by step toward the door. This time, he was not wearing his usual formal suit. Instead, he wore a white shirt and pale waistcoat beneath a thin black windbreaker that reached his knees, adding a few hints of competence and sharpness to his bearing. This set of clothing, convenient for combat, had cost him only one pound, and that included…

Chapter One HundredInterpreting Symbols “Clues to the Clown potion.” … At the head of the ancient, mottled bronze long table, Klein read the divination statement several times over. Then he leaned back and entered sleep. His surroundings soon became quiet and peaceful. What he “saw” turned ethereal and hazy. Countless distorted, difficult-to-identify scenes flashed past at high speed, like drops of dew trembling on tender petals in the early morning. Gradually, Klein grasped his…

Chapter Ninety-NineRed Chimney That afternoon, after returning home, Klein pulled the curtains closed and left his bedroom in dim light. He searched out paper and pen, thought for a long time, and finally wrote a statement: “Extraordinary factors guided the Elliott kidnapping case.” As a Seer, Klein had actually previously performed divinations on whether those seemingly coincidental matters contained unnatural development. The results had proven that he was overthinking things. This…

Chapter Ninety-EightMr. Azik Faced with his sister’s question, Klein could only smile bitterly. “Muscle soreness.” He had originally assumed that after consuming a Sequence potion and becoming a Beyonder, his physical constitution would improve at least somewhat. But cruel reality informed him that the Seer’s skill points had all been added to spirituality, mind, intuition, and interpretation. They did not help him adapt to combat training any faster. And the original Klein had spent…

Chapter Ninety-SevenCombat Teacher At two in the afternoon, outside an old-fashioned, two-story house in the outskirts of the North Borough, which looked as if it had been in disrepair for years. Wearing a probationary inspector’s police uniform, Klein looked at the garden overgrown with weeds and the walls covered in climbing plants, slightly stunned. He turned his head and said, “My combat teacher lives here?” Someone chosen by the Nighthawk team as an expert in fighting should certainly…

Chapter Ninety-SixDaly’s Guess The next morning, Klein, having fully recovered his condition, walked into Blackthorn Security Company with steady steps. “Good morning, Klein. The weather is wonderfully cool today. I am already looking forward to tonight’s feast.” Rozanne, wearing a pale green dress, stood behind the reception desk and greeted him with a beaming smile. Klein deliberately touched his stomach and said, “Miss Rozanne, you should not discuss such topics at a time like…

Chapter Ninety-FiveThe “Supplicant” “A prayer?” Klein’s spirits lifted. Following the method he had used last time to peer at the Hanged Man, he let his spirituality spread and touch that mass of crimson. A blurry, distorted image immediately appeared before his eyes. He could barely make out a brown-haired boy kneeling on both knees before a pure crystal ball. The boy wore black, close-fitting clothes utterly different from the fashion trends of the Loen Kingdom. They also differed…
