Chapter One Hundred Sixty-TwoThe “Evil God’s” Unorthodox Move “One, two, three, four, five… It seemed to have twelve pairs of wings… According to the descriptions in the scriptures of the major Churches, that is the highest rank of angel…” Fors struggled to recall the scene she had witnessed while half-asleep, feeling both shocked and, somehow, not so shocked. It was as though she had encountered an earthshaking thing that she had always believed should be natural, yet had never…-

Chapter One Hundred Sixty-OneArtificial Somnambulism Sitting inside the café booth, Lawrence could not stop himself from recalling the Abraham family’s suffering over all these years. Ever since the family had been split into smaller households, scattered across different regions, the council of elders’ control over the family members had fallen to its lowest point. To avoid the influence of the curse, many Abrahams refused to advance. They remained at Sequence 8 or Sequence 9, and some did not…

Chapter One Hundred SixtySearching for Someone Old Kohler seemed rather afraid of the other woman’s fierceness and unconsciously retreated a step. “Liv, this is a detective. He wants—he wants to help you search for Daisy.” Liv’s face, marked by wrinkles and peeling skin, turned toward Klein. She said coldly, “We have already called the police.” She was perhaps only in her thirties, but outwardly, she already looked close to fifty. Klein glanced around the room, where many…

Chapter One Hundred Fifty-NineDisappearance After waiting more than half an hour and confirming that nothing unexpected had happened, Klein and Emlyn White finally left Solicitor Jurgen’s house. Each occupied by his own thoughts, they walked in silence and soon arrived outside 15 Minsk Street. The vampire Emlyn pressed a fist to his mouth, gave a soft cough, and said, “The payment has been fully made. I hope there will be no chance for us to meet again.” That line has quite a bit of style.…

Chapter One Hundred Fifty-EightDetective Moriarty’s First Fan “No. It was only good luck. It was only a god protecting me.” Klein humbly stepped aside and invited Stuart in. Strictly speaking, what he said was all true. This matter truly was good luck. Before the other party had even accepted the commission, he had already known where Emlyn White was. As Stuart removed his wool coat and hat and hung them on the rack in the foyer, he shivered and said, “This damned weather is getting…

Chapter One Hundred Fifty-SevenThe Audience’s Applause Bounty, carriage fare, potions with Beyonder effects… For a moment, Emlyn White failed to react. This was not the answer he had expected. Where is the gentlemanly bearing? The vampire thought blankly. As a detective, keeping accounts clearly is a necessary quality. Besides, you delayed my trip to the Cragg Club. I still do not know what the limited supply has been these past two days… Looking at Emlyn White, Klein made that…

Chapter One Hundred Fifty-SixSuggestion He recognized me! Klein was abruptly alarmed, nearly entering combat state on the spot. Even without activating spirit vision, he could tell from Emlyn White’s tone and words that the other party was not lying. He had great confidence and was absolutely certain! The feeling of tension had only just risen when Klein suddenly thought of one question: Why should I worry about this? Immediately afterward, he answered himself within his mind: If I…

Chapter One Hundred Fifty-FiveNot Playing by the Rules Inside the ancient, majestic palace, stone pillar after stone pillar held up the towering dome. Klein sat at the highest seat of the bronze long table, holding the semitransparent brown bottle. He examined it repeatedly several times, yet received no dangerous premonition. Let us begin… He manifested paper and pen and wrote down the divination statement: “Its origin.” After setting down the fountain pen and mentally bracing…

Chapter One Hundred Fifty-FourThreatening Letter On Tuesday morning, the weather remained the usual cold and damp of the season. Klein tightened the collar of his wool coat, put on his hat, and opened the front door. He was going to the mailbox at the end of the street to mail his letter to Detective Stuart. The distance was not far at all, and there was truly no need to dress so formally and so warmly. But Klein’s cold had only just recovered, so out of caution, he wrapped himself up…

Chapter One Hundred Fifty-ThreeThe Hanged Man’s Ambition After inspecting the White family’s home from top to bottom, Klein confirmed that there was nothing strange about it. The couple had not even left behind a single strand of hair, clearly on guard against anyone tracking them by means of divination. He returned to the bedroom filled with dolls, took four steps counterclockwise, and entered above the gray fog, intending to make one final confirmation through divination. But before turning…
