In the afternoon, when he got home, Klein drew the curtains and made the bedroom dim.
He took out a pen and paper and thought for a long time, finally writing down a sentence:
"The Elliot kidnapping case is guided by extraordinary factors."
As a "diviner", Klein had actually divined before whether those seemingly coincidental events had any unnatural developments, but the result proved that he had overthought it.
This time, influenced by Azk's teacher, he once again paid attention to this issue and absorbed the lesson of the tailcoat clown, carefully designing the "divination sentence", eliminating some vague and confusing descriptions from the beginning.
"Well, break down the three coincidences and divine them separately..." Klein nodded thoughtfully, slowly taking off the yellow crystal pendant from his cuff.
He held the pendulum with his left hand, letting the pendant hang above the "divination sentence" on the paper, almost touching it.
Concentrating his mind, entering meditation, Klein closed his eyes and began to repeat silently:
"The Elliot kidnapping case is guided by extraordinary factors." ...
Over and over again, he opened his eyes and looked at the spirit pendulum. He saw the yellow crystal pendant rotating slightly counterclockwise.
"Still negative..." Klein whispered. He then redesigned the "divination sentence" several times, but the result was still that there was no coincidence in that matter.
He also divined "the Riel Bieber incident in Tingen" and "the Selina Magic Mirror divination incident", and the answers were all "normal".
Ah, as a true divinationist, was I fooled by Mr. Azek, this fake charlatan? Besides, the team members didn't seem strange... Klein laughed and shook his head, but still held a cautious attitude, preparing to use "dream divination" for the final confirmation.
After thinking for a while, he changed the "divination sentence" to adapt to different methods.
"The true cause of the Elliot kidnapping case." The pen scribbled, Klein paused from time to time, considering the choice of words.
After reading it several times, he tore the paper, stood up and walked to the bedside, lying down relaxedly.
Holding the "divination sentence", Klein used meditation to fall asleep quickly.
In a blurry, distorted, and fragmented world, he regained some awareness and wandered there drowsily.
Gradually, he saw the several kidnappers, saw them losing the last chip on the gambling table, saw them getting guns from the underground passage, saw them scouting several times and temporarily renting the house opposite Riel Bieber's as a hiding place...
All of this was not coherent, it was just a flash of the scene, but Klein couldn't find any inconsistency.
Moreover, this was basically in line with the kidnappers' confessions he had learned.
After exiting the dream, Klein divined another two matters, and the results were the same, the development was in line with the rules, and the coincidence was truly just a coincidence.
"It was really my imagination, Mr. Azek was just a divination enthusiast..." Klein tightened the spirit pendulum, shook his head and smiled wryly.
Just as he was about to pull the curtain to let the afternoon sunlight into the bedroom, his fingers suddenly paused here.
"From the impression of the original owner, Mr. Azek was a calm and reliable gentleman, trustworthy, almost never saying ungrounded words, even though he often argued with the mentor, it was only about academic issues, each had their own reasons... If he was just a simple divination enthusiast, he wouldn't communicate with me in this way... And the original owner didn't remember that he loved divination at all... Of course, it could also be that the corresponding memory fragments were missing..." Klein furrowed his eyebrows, feeling that it was still not reassuring enough, always wanting to find another way to confirm.
He suspected that Mr. Azek had accidentally learned some insider information, so he used divination as an excuse to remind himself.
"What method should I use to make another confirmation?" Klein walked back and forth in the dim bedroom where he could barely see the words of the books, recalling the other divination methods he knew.
One step, two steps, three steps, he suddenly stopped, having an idea.
"Let's assume that the coincidence is indeed problematic. I can't divine it because the sequence is not high enough, or it was interfered with by external factors. Then, we can change the environment, a more mysterious and more difficult-to-understand environment than these matters!" Klein's spirit lifted, pulled out a silver knife from the drawer.
Then, he gathered his energy, let the spirit flow from the tip of the silver dagger, connecting with the surrounding nature as a whole.
As his steps moved, the spirit wall gradually sealed the entire bedroom.
Klein's plan was to divine on the mist above, to divine in that mysterious world! ......
Above the vast and hazy gray-white fog, within the majestic and ancient temple.
Klein's figure was seated at the top of the bronze long table, with a piece of parchment that had just "materialized" placed in front of him.
He picked up the round-topped pen and, following his previous attempts, wrote down the "divination sentence":
"The Elliot kidnapping case is guided by extraordinary factors."
Holding the spirit pendulum, with the pendant hanging low, Klein allowed his own spirit to rapidly settle, remaining quiet and ethereal.
He half-closed his eyes and silently recited the "divination sentence" seven times, allowing the spirituality to resonate with the higher realm above everything.
Feeling the slight tug of the silver chain, Klein opened his eyes and looked at the spirit pendulum.
At that moment, he was stunned:
The yellow crystal pendant was making a clockwise rotation!
This means that the Elliot kidnapping case is guided by extraordinary factors!
And this is completely opposite to Klein's divination results in the outside world!
There is no trace of guidance... Such power, or means, is truly terrifying... What is the purpose of the person behind it? Is it related to the Antigonus family notes and my destiny? Klein was horrified in his heart, losing his calmness, causing the rotation of the spirit pendulum to become chaotic.
He placed the yellow crystal pendant, pinched the center of his brow, and his expression was extremely solemn.
After considering for a few seconds, he did not try to divination the other two things anymore, but wrote down a new "divination sentence":
"The true cause of the Elliot kidnapping case."
Holding the paper, he recited seven times, leaned back against the chair back, and fell into a sleep above the gray fog.
Soon, he saw an endless, illusory, gray-white fog.
The fog slowly parted, revealing colorful flowers and greenish grass.
Behind the flowers and grass, space was distorted and overlapped, as if it had turned into a living monster.
Klein strained his eyes, barely seeing that there was a dark red chimney hidden there.
Just then, everything in front of him collapsed and shattered, and the dream suddenly disintegrated.
In the grand temple, Klein suddenly straightened his back, feeling his heart pounding wildly, inexplicably pounding wildly.
"Ah... I feel like I've glimpsed something terrifying... " He took two deep breaths, calming his disordered emotions.
With a "tutting" sound, a moment later, Klein tapped the edge of the table, once again falling into deep thought:
"The red chimney... the garden... the grass... Is this related to the person behind it? But those coincidences do not reveal his purpose, and even can be said to have no malicious intent... "
In the midst of his thoughts swirling, Klein was startled, for himself, as well as for the captain and his companions like Flynn:
We, these people, are like puppet strings, being manipulated to perform, and even more terrifying is that we feel good about it...
"Ah... I don't know how to bring this to the captain. Old Neil's divination result is exactly the same as mine outside... If I were to make a confirmation on the spot... It's impossible to confirm at all..." Klein rubbed his temples in a headache-like manner.
After calming for a dozen seconds, he began to divination the "Rael. Bibber's stay in Tingen incident", the same as before, using the spirit pendulum method.
This time, Klein was astonished to see his yellow crystal pendant stop there, not moving at all, neither affirming nor denying.
"There's something strange... " he whispered, his thoughts spreading out to guess the reason, "The latter person sensed my divination and responded?"
Next, he tried the "dream divination", but could only see incoherent, fragmented, and hazy gray fog, with no other discoveries.
And the result of the "Selina Magic Mirror Incident" was the same.
Klein almost confirmed his previous thoughts, unable to find a good opportunity to remind Captain Dunn. Smith at that moment, he had an unprecedented urgency to improve himself.
"Wait, continue to divination at the club, try to succeed in 'playing' as soon as possible, digest the 'diviner' potion..." Also, confirm whether the 'Jester' potion is the successor of the 'Diviner', and find its clues... Besides, contact Mr. Azk more often to see if you can uncover the insider information he knows... "Klein rested his right hand on his forehead and quickly formulated the next plan, clarifying the focus.
After thinking for a while, he projected a piece of parchment in front of him and began to write:
"The sequence 9 'Diviner' corresponds to sequence 8 'Jester'."
-- With the experience just now, at this moment, Klein completely believes that his divination skills can be enhanced and elevated above the mist.
"Just like the gaming group always achieves great success... This is controlling good fortune?" He whispered silently, and then picked up the spirit pendulum again.
Not long after, Klein received a positive answer:
Sequence 9 'Diviner' corresponds to sequence 8 'Jester'!
Immediately after that, he wrote:
"The sequence 8, 7, 6, and 5 corresponding to 'Diviner' will respectively acquire at least one brand new and unrelated ability."
Sighing, he let out the stale air. Klein tried the "spirit pendulum method" again.
However, he saw the yellow crystal pendant still standing there, without any movement.
"Insufficient preliminary information, unable to complete the divination and obtain the inspiration?" As if in thought, Klein put down the silver chain and began to deliberate the sentences needed for "dream divination".
After about ten seconds, he picked up the pen and solemnly wrote:
"The clue of the 'Jester' potion."
