After dinner, they chatted for a while. Then, Klein sat down on the single sofa in the living room and picked up the recently delivered "Ahova Evening News", leisurely unfolding and reading it.
Benson grimaced and sat opposite his sister, with Bella's very clean dining table in front of him. There were grammar books, classical literature, accounting tutorials, and pen and paper, similar to him, Melissa also had textbooks and stationery in front of her, including but not limited to pens, paper, rulers, compasses, etc.
"I feel like I'm back to those days a decade ago, when I was a student in the church's Sunday school," Benson complained, but still lowered his head and studied hard.
Yes, this scene gave me a great sense of being a parent... Klein smiled and said:
"Knowledge changes destiny, hard work creates brilliance."
The second half of this sentence was something I just made up. I don't know if Rosser said it... He muttered to himself under his breath.
The room quickly became quiet, only the sound of the pen scratching the paper and the pages being turned could be heard. Bella had already washed the dishes and tidied the kitchen, returning to her bedroom on the first floor, which was originally the small guest room.
Klein read the newspaper, occasionally taking a sip of the Siberian black tea, chatting with his brother and sister for a few words, and had a very pleasant time.
Suddenly, the gas lamps in the living room and the dining room both dimmed at the same time, as if they had run out of sufficient fuel.
Benson and Melissa, without any hesitation, raised their heads and looked at the lamps, trying to find the reason.
Klein also turned his gaze towards them.
Just then, he felt something lightly touch his arm.
In the empty living room, something other than a living person touched his arm!
His hair stood on end, and Klein's arm recoiled. He turned his head and saw five tiny pale fingers, which were at the tip of the red tongue, with a row of irregular sharp teeth below!
Klein first reached into his pocket, where there were the "Sleeping" and "An Ancestor's Rest" spells. Then he saw those five baby-like fingers grasping a neatly folded piece of paper.
Letter...
Messenger!
Klein let out a sudden sigh of relief.
At this moment, the five pale fingers that were holding the paper gently touched his arm again.
Klein looked at Melissa, who was about to stand up to check the gas lamps, and gently grabbed the letter paper with his left hand. Then he quickly withdrew it and hid it under the newspaper.
Immediately, he caught a glimpse of the pale fingers, the red tongue, and the irregular sharp teeth fading away in an instant.
A sensation stirred in his heart, and Klein lightly tapped his left tooth, quietly activating his clairvoyance.
He saw those five tiny abnormal fingers, the long red tongue adorned with white sharp teeth, and they withdrew into the transparent face without eyes or a nose on the ground.
One second later, this face sank into the ground, and the gas light in the living room and dining room returned to normal.
"Strange..." Melissa muttered, carefully checking for a long time but finding no problem.
Why is it that girls in our family are responsible for such things, while the men are just standing there watching... Klein shook his head and smiled, closing his clairvoyance.
After a few words of conversation about the gas lamps, the Moretti family became quiet again. Benson and Melissa once again immersed themselves in the ocean of knowledge.
Klein used the newspaper as a cover, spreading the letter paper with one hand and reading the reply from the "Death Spirit Master" Daley:
"... I must emphasize again that I prefer the title 'psychic'.
Regarding the matter you inquired about, I can give you a definite answer. Yes, 'psychic' can also be applied to living beings. Remember, not just humans alive...
However, this would be quite troublesome and also quite dangerous. The residual spirit of the deceased is pure, with few impurities, no chaotic thoughts, and can communicate without hindrance, ask questions, and obtain answers. Of course, you can also add the technique of 'dream divination' at this step, directly seeing the corresponding image.
But for living humans, it's not the case. Their own will still exists, resisting the communication between spirits without protection.
Seeing this, Klein's lips twitched slightly, confirming that the replyer was Delia herself:
Unprotected communication... What a style of speaking hers is...
Looking up at his sister and brother, Klein continued to read the following content:
"Facing this situation, we have only two methods. One is to rely on our own strong spirituality and profound psychic skills to overcome the will of the other party, communicate roughly, and the second is to use some drugs to assist, making the other party relax. The one I use most is 'Anmanda' pure essence and 'Spirit Eye' potion. Haha, I'm sure you won't forget it."
"Entering the formal psychic session, you must pay attention. Unlike communicating with the residual spirit of the deceased, at this time, you are also in a spiritual state. In simple terms, your spirituality has entered the spiritual world of the other party."
"Note, for professional 'psychics', they will not lack self-protection skills in this state, but you can't. The techniques I have mastered, even if I tell you, you can't learn or apply them."
"So you must maintain sufficient clarity and rationality. Only in this way can you resist the storm of chaotic thoughts mixed together by the other party, approach his spiritual body, and communicate with him. Well, this is communication at the 'mind body' level."
"At this stage, you also have two choices. One is to use the techniques to forcibly read the other party's memory, but you must be very careful because you can't know if the things read out are exactly what you want to know. And a person's vast memory, if not discriminatingly received, is very likely to overwhelm your spiritual body, and this will seriously damage or even destroy the target's soul. For non-professional 'psychics', I don't recommend using this method."
"The second choice is to communicate gently with the other party's 'mind body'. Whether using rough means or relying on drugs, the target is bound to be in a confused state at this time, almost impossible to lie, no, you can't recall your experience! Although I know you definitely don't remember!"
Sorry, Madam Delia, I was very clear-minded at that time... Klein smiled in his heart and lowered his gaze, looking at the following part of the letter:
"Such communication can give you the real answers, but not necessarily all the real answers. You should understand my meaning. Anyone who has studied journalism knows the famous quote of Emperor Roselius, I don't remember the specific content, but the main point is to say tell the truth, only tell the truth, tell all the truth. In conclusion, the spiritual body may not remember all the things, because many memories are in his subconscious, even collective subconscious. Oh, I shouldn't mention this. Dunn calls it the evil theory of the psychological alchemy society."
"So, you must know how to induce, be good at designing questions. Do you understand? The specific techniques are... "
"Everything above belongs to normal circumstances. For a crazy extraordinary person, when we conduct psychic sessions, what should we pay attention to?" "Still, one must be sufficiently clear-headed and rational, without the slightest moment of confusion. Because the spiritual nature of extraordinary individuals is very strong. Because the spirit bodies of lunatics are also filled with chaotic thoughts. Let me give you an example. The normal person's consciousness is like an island, the subconscious is the part of the island hidden beneath the surface of the sea, the collective subconscious is the surrounding sea area, the sky belongs to the spiritual realm, while the 'island' of extraordinary individuals has controllable active volcanoes on top of it, while the 'island' of the lunatic is experiencing a volcanic eruption, shaking the 'bottom' and polluting the 'sea area'. "
"When you come into contact with the spirit body of a lunatic without protection, his chaos is very likely to infect you, just like contaminated seawater spreading along the ocean currents to nearby areas."
"Well, in this case of spiritual communication, it's somewhat like connecting your own 'sea area' with the other party's. Therefore, you must pay sufficient attention to the issue of infection."
"Several examples are: When some 'psychic communicators' do similar things, they are careless and don't take any protection measures. Later, they developed the same mental illness as the target."
"Normally, mental illness is not an infectious disease, but in the field of mysticism and in the world of spiritual communication, it does indeed infect people."
"Maintaining your own clarity and rationality, not being influenced by the chaotic thoughts of the other party, is something that must be noted. Then comes the induction of questions and obtaining answers. Even a lunatic can communicate effectively."
"If you wish to try, I suggest you take the 'tranquilizer potion' in advance. The formula is available behind the Charnis Gate in Tinggen City, and the finished product is also there. This can effectively help you remain clear and rational during spiritual communication."
"Of course, you can also ask Dunn to apply for assistance to the Beckland Diocese. I would be glad to know the spiritual state of a 'psychologist' who has gone insane after following the sequence 7."
Clayne relaxed and was eager to try. He put down the newspaper, stood up, and entered the first floor bathroom. He ignited the paper with his spirituality and sprinkled the ashes into the toilet, which was then flushed away with a splash.
That night, Clayne tried his "summoning" ritual again. He brought the "Sunfire Spell" back to the material world and brought it to his bedroom.
Meanwhile, he didn't wait for the expected quick reply from Mr. Azk, the gentleman who sent him the letter.
Perhaps, he needs some time to recall knowledge... Perhaps, he doesn't have the time to reply... Or maybe he's afraid of disturbing my sleep... Clayne removed the spiritual barrier, guessed a few reasons, and lay down on the bed. ......
The next day, which was Tuesday morning.
Klein entered the Black Thorn Security Company and skillfully knocked on the door of the captain's office.
