Chapter 174 The night outside Tingen
After receiving the targeted information provided by Louise, Klein had a rough guess about his current situation, and in a sense, he might be getting closer to the truth.
However, his strength is still too weak to completely escape the control of "0-08".
August 19th, Sunday, is the same as the original story.
At the fortune teller club, through fortune-telling for his sister Melissa's friend, Elizabeth, Klein learned about the "Black-armored Knight's Ghost Incident" that occurred in the town of Ramd.
After cooperating with Captain Dunn and successfully purifying it, during an investigation and visit in the town, Klein discovered the portrait of the first Baron Ramd who looked like Mr. Azik, and for this purpose he entered the gray mist for divination, and successfully " The remnant of "The Land Abandoned by God", Derrick pulled up the Source Castle, codenamed "The Sun".
Coincidentally, that night, Klein guarded the sealed artifact "3-0782" alone, officially starting his "death-seeking divination habit".
He unintentionally divined the "Eternal Blazing Sun" and was almost burned to ashes. At the same time, he gained a lot of knowledge, enough to cope with the knowledge of Derrick the "Sun".
After frantically testing on the verge of death, he felt deeply tired and afraid, and had to control himself not to fall asleep.
While Klein was yawning and pacing back and forth to relieve his sleepiness, a female voice suddenly sounded behind him, causing him to lose all sleep. He almost shouted to the captain for help.
"I'm Daly."
Daly? "Psychic" Daly? "Psychic" Daly who was transferred to Backlund Parish... It was the self-introduction of the other party that made Klein not choose to call for help immediately. He was confused. Frowning:
"Ms. Daly?"
Then, a woman walked out from behind a long-standing tree. It was "Psychic" Dai Li, but the exaggerated eye shadow and blush on her face disappeared for some reason.
She chuckled twice and said: "I originally planned to communicate with you through a messenger, but those little guys didn't dare to approach you, so I had to go into battle in person. You won't mind, right?"
As expected, it was Ms. Dai Li, speaking in the same style as before... Klein sighed secretly, touched the sealed artifact "3-0782" in his pocket, and asked aloud without letting down his guard:
"Madam, I heard from the captain that you were transferred to Backlund. Why did you suddenly appear here?"
"Psychic" Dai Li joked neither fast nor slow: "Don't be so alert, I received Dunn's letter, that's why I appeared in front of you, Mr. Klein, who has mastered the 'acting method'. "
"How to act?" Klein asked, pretending to be confused.
Dai Li stood not far away and did not try to close the distance between the two. Hearing this, he said with a smile:
"There is no need to pretend in front of me, Mr. Klein. I just hope that you can inform Dunn about the 'acting method' before someone from the church arrives."
Klein was silent for two seconds, acknowledging the fact that he had mastered the "acting method", and asked:
"Why don't you tell the captain yourself?"
"Of course it's because I swore in front of the sacred goddess. This is the rule of the church." Dai Li explained: "It took only two months for someone like you to sum up the 'acting method' and it has not been noticed by the church yet." What a wonderful thing... Genius is very rare."
You said it directly... Klein couldn't help but choked and asked his doubts:
“Why does the church not allow the spread of impersonation?”
Dai Li's face showed a little confusion, and she replied softly:
"I don't know the answer to this question either. Only after I become an archbishop or a senior deacon can I know the answer. Before that, I can only communicate with people who know the acting method like you."
"Is there no danger?" Klein asked.
Dai Li was stunned for a moment and said jokingly: "As long as you don't betray the church, there will be no danger. Look, I'm still alive and well!"
Klein, who was insecure, smiled sheepishly, and then solemnly promised:
"I will disclose the acting matter to Captain Dunn. This is my intention. I will do it even without Ms. Daly's reminder."
"You are such an outstanding young man. If I weren't older, I might be fascinated by you." Miss Dai Li joked happily.
You are not very old now... Klein subconsciously thought, ah, what are you thinking in your mind...
After a short silence, he found that Ms. Dai Li had no intention of leaving, but was rather hesitant.
Klein looked at the time and reminded: "Fry will be here to pick up my shift soon."
Dai Li raised her head. The teasing and joking in her eyes had long since faded away, turning into an unknown fear and expectation. She asked aloud:
"What kind of person do you think Dunn is?"
Ms. Dai Li has been working with the captain much longer than me. Do you still need to ask me this question... Klein glanced at her strangely, but after thinking about it, he answered seriously:
"The captain is a very reliable man. Although he sometimes forgets things, he is always trustworthy at critical moments..."
"The captain often mentions Ms. Dai Li in front of us, praising your speed of promotion and excellent qualities..."
"Really? Dunn often mentions me?" Dai Li's voice suddenly rose a little.
Klein nodded: "Yes."
"Psychic" Dai Li's face showed joy. Suddenly she felt something and said quickly:
"Your teammates are coming, and I hope tonight's conversation will not be revealed to anyone else."
Klein nodded in agreement and said, "I will keep it a secret."
Soon, he found Ms. Dai Li's figure disappearing into the night. Then, Frye appeared in front of him with a cold expression and asked:
"There was no accident, right?"
Klein's sleepiness hit him again. He yawned long and replied:
"Except that I'm a little sleepy, there are no other surprises."
Frye did not comment, took the sealed object "3-0782", and said in a deep voice:
"Go back and rest. You can sleep until morning, because the captain doesn't need to sleep."
Great... Klein thought happily, rushed back to the hotel as quickly as possible, lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
…………
In a shadow not far outside the hotel, "Psychic" Dai Li was standing there, with a rather lonely figure from behind.
She came to Tingen secretly this time, with no intention of meeting Dunn, but during the conversation with Louise on the steam train, there was a sentence that deeply touched her.
"If you miss this time, who will know that this may be your last chance!"
For some reason, when she heard this sentence, Dai Li felt a little palpitated, as if she was about to lose something, which made her feel very hesitant. This state had not appeared in her for a long time.
She looked at a lighted room on the second floor of the hotel. The window reflected a long, lonely shadow of a sitting figure.
