Chapter 103: Don't do unprepared performances
That's really a big offer...... Hearing the vampire's request, Crane was simply angry and funny.
He glanced at Bishop Utravsky in front of him, and asked thoughtfully:
"Priest, can I borrow your candle? ”
Before Bishop Utravsky could answer, the vampire in the basement was stunned and said:
"What do you want to do? What do you want to do?"
At this time, Bishop Utravsky spoke mildly:
"It's called the Nightmare Candle, what are you borrowing it for?"
Father, you are very cooperative, and you know the usefulness of asking...... The corners of Crane's mouth turned up:
"I'm going to use it and go directly to the deepest part of the friend's heart inside. ”
"You know, I've got some special talent for this, and I'm pretty good at doing things like that......"
Before he could finish speaking, the vampire in the basement shouted:
"Bastard, give up your idea!"
"Such a curse to the noble bloodline!"
"Hey, hey, hey, I'll tell you where the 'Master Key' comes from!"
Klein chuckled suddenly:
"Thank you very much for your cooperation. ”
"Hmph! Dirty old man's friend is really not a good person! As a blood clan, I just went to the hospital to secretly collect blood from the blood vial to drink, and I was already very restrained, why should I be locked up here, listening to that rambling fly-like Bible of Life every day!" the vampire in the basement grumbled angrily.
Frankly speaking, if you are really as described in your own words, and you meet me, then I will warn you at most, but unfortunately, when you get lost and enter this church, you are opposite a priest who used to kill like a man and loves to fight, and now repents and is a fanatical believer, which can only say that you are not very lucky...... However, Bishop Utravsky's illness has healed and should not really hurt you, at most he will detain you...... Klein silently replied.
The vampire in the basement paused for a few seconds and said:
"More than a month ago, I went to the Southern District Hospital to secretly collect blood bottles to drink, and I met a thief. ”
"He originally wanted to enter the financial room of the hospital, but who knew that he got lost, opened the door of the blood bank, and was caught red-handed by me. ”
"He used the 'master key,' and he told me that he had found it during his previous theft from a house, along with a pocket watch encrusted with diamonds, well, in the basement. ”
"At first, he thought the key corresponded to a certain room or a certain safe, but he tried it all and found that it could all be opened, which was an unimaginable surprise for a burglar, and then he succeeded again and again until I caught it and confiscated the key. ”
"Damn, I didn't think that key would make people get lost!"
It fits perfectly with what I saw in my divination...... However, is there a curse on this "master key", the former owner was detained because he got lost, and the former master was caught red-handed because he got lost...... Perhaps, I'll really have to throw it on the gray mist and take it out when I need to, but that's a lot more troublesome, and maybe it will delay things...... Crane controlled the change in his expression and asked unhurriedly:
"Did the thief say he stole it somewhere?"
The vampire in the basement muttered:
"You're doubting my intelligence, how could I not ask about it. ”
"He said it was at No. 48 Hewan Avenue, South District, Daqiao, and I had planned to have time to investigate, but the result was ...... Damn!"
"Alright, I'm done, don't bother me anymore. ”
Crane did not leave there, but slowly took out a copper coin in the denomination of one-half pence and recited in a low voice:
"He's lying. ”
......
Seven times later, Crane, with deep eyes, flicked the coin and watched it tumble and spin and land in the palm of his hand.
This time, the head is up, indicating affirmation.
That is, the vampires are lying!
The content of the thief's narration is consistent with the picture I saw in divination in many ways, which corroborate each other, and it should not be fake...... The vampire must have lied about the specific address!Klein looked at Bishop Utravsky and chuckled:
"He lied. ”
"Let me think about why he lied. ”
"It is very unwise to take revenge on someone who has nothing to do with me, and it is very bad for his situation. ”
"So, I think, he was actually calling for help in this way, and that address probably belonged to his companion, Father, aren't you going to go and see it?"
The basement was completely silent, and after a few seconds, the vampire laughed:
"I'm just not willing to tell you so simply, you just threatened me, and I lied to take revenge on you, isn't it normal?"
I heard the feeling of forcibly composed...... Klein smiled and said:
"So, what about the real answer? If I lie, I wouldn't mind dropping this address to the three major churches and saying it had something to do with the recent serial killings. ”
“...... Humans are vicious......" the vampire sighed through gritted teeth, "32 Verdee Street, South Bridge." ”
Klein tossed another coin and got the answer that the other party wasn't lying.
It seems that vampires do not have the ability to interfere with divination...... Well, go back and go to the gray fog to make sure...... Crane pressed his hand to his chest, bent down to the heavy stone door in the basement, and bowed:
"Thank you for your cooperation. ”
"Hmph. The vampire in the basement replied angrily.
Just as Klein turned to leave, he suddenly shouted again:
"Remember, my name is Emlyn White, remember, my name is Emlyn White!"
I'm not going to save you, I'm not prepared, I don't have home advantage, I can't beat Father Utravsky, and he has a magical item that gives back blood...... Well, could it be that this vampire's companion is going to offer a bounty for someone who wants me to betray this information? Crane was stunned for a moment, and walked out of the Harvest Chapel without saying anything.
Finding a secluded and uninhabited place, he untied the pendulum from the cuff of his left wrist and made a divination about the fact that he was now going to explore 32 Verdey Street.
The answer he got was that there was some danger, but not too high.
There is a certain danger...... Where is the danger? What type of danger could it be? Klein carefully analyzed, suspecting that the apprentice who had lost control and died had become a ghost-type monster because of a strong grudge, and it was a relatively strong one.
No, the thief came out with the "master key" even though nothing had happened, could it be that the danger was in another hidden place in the house? Klein thought about it carefully, and felt that he had better be prepared to go there again, lest he encounter an enemy who was difficult to deal with with with his current extraordinary abilities and could not find a way.
At the very least, at least until I can buy a bullet that can purify the Wraith...... He nodded slightly.
With this process of consideration, combined with the experience of the last battle with Bishop Utravsky, the "Knight of the Dawn", Klein suddenly felt that he could vaguely summarize the first rule of "magician":
"Don't perform when you're not prepared!"
There is a high probability of goofs like that...... Klein silently added.
............
On Tuesday morning, Klein prepared butter, baked two slices of bread, and did not rush to eat, opened the door and took out today's newspaper from the newspaper box.
Hey, there's a letter...... He pulled out the letter from the newspaper and looked at the skin as he returned to the dining room.
"From Stuart...... It appears that he has completed his preliminary investigation. Crane bowed slightly, tore open the envelope, shook the paper, and sat down at the table as he read.
Stuart claimed that the two suspects did not behave in any way, one was guarding the grocery store and his wife and children, living a lifeless life, and the other was busy with various temporary jobs, running around to make ends meet, they were not irritable, they did not have the urge to fight, and they did not have the need to lock themselves in their rooms alone.
At the end of the letter, Stuart lamented the dire state of the East Side, vowing to save enough money and not end up there in old age.
"Thank you for your help, and if there are other clues in the future, I will share them with you. Seeing that the other party failed to find any useful traces, Klein simply replied to the letter, preventing him from being involved in the case at a deeper level, so as not to be perceived by the "demon" and stifled the hidden danger in advance.
After putting away the pen and paper, Klein picked up a slice of bread that had been soaked in the butter, and spent breakfast leisurely with black tea and newspapers.
In this process, he regretted that the gathering of the "Eyes of Wisdom" old man had not yet taken place.
"Hey, the existence of that 'demon' has seriously affected the lives of the Beckland Extraordinary, I hope Mr. Eichinger Stanton can detect my prompt and gain something, well, he should be an officially 'certified' extraordinary......" Klein put down the newspaper, picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth, and prepared to go out.
His schedule for today was planned last week:
Go to the Kingdom Museum to see the "Russell Memorial Exhibition"!
............
Queens, inside the luxurious villa of the Earl Hall's family.
Audrey wore a long light-colored dress with bold lace and a snow-white fur, and waited for her maid Anne to help her put on a soft hat studded with pearls and pinned tulle.
Beside her, Susie was crouching with a bow tied around her neck.
"Where are you going, my beautiful little princess?" asked Count Hall, as he came down the stairs and rubbed his two pretty moustaches.
Audrey replied with bright eyes:
"Dad, I'm going to see the Russell Memorial Exhibition. ”
Take a look at the original of Russell the Great's diary and find a chance to get some ...... for Mr. Fool She added in her heart.
Earl Hall muttered:
"Why are you going today? There will be a lot of people, and the scene will be very chaotic. ”
"Well, I'll find someone to coordinate with the Steam Church to open an extra day for you and your friends after the official exhibition, so that you can visit quietly and undisturbed. ”
"If you have something you want to see up close, you can talk to them directly. ”
Well, it seems better, I can look directly at the diaries in this exhibition...... Audrey lifted the hem of her skirt and saluted:
"Thank you, handsome Earl Hall~"
