Why him?

Klein followed Luther into Blackthorn Security Company, looking at his neighbor and colleague's back with a complicated expression.

Last night's Divination Above the Gray Fog was very successful, but he couldn't be happy. Because in his Dream, Klein clearly saw the scene of Madam Sharon's murder.

He saw his colleague being chased by Madam Sharon, burning on the ice with Black Flame, howling as his skin gradually turned charred black;

He witnessed his neighbor using a strange language, which drove Madam Sharon to the brink of a mental breakdown, ultimately resulting in her being shot in the head with a Revolver and killed.

He also witnessed Luther continuing his vengeance on Sharon even after her death, using an almost sinister method to open her chest and abdomen, remove her internal organs, clean up the scene, dispose of the body, and leave.

I never knew he had become so powerful...

Klein looked deeply at Lu Ze's back and thought with emotion.

The scene of Luther killing Sharon deeply shocked him.

Among our current Tarot Club members, I estimate there's no one who can stand up to him for now. Hmm, if we were to attack together, Miss [Justice] would assist, while I, [The Hanged Man], and [The Sun] would go in together...

In Klein's mind, the image of the Tarot Club's battle against Luther flashed before his eyes.

No, no, why am I even thinking about this?

The question now is, why did Luther act alone? He could have simply told everyone, and they could have gone together to hunt down the Demoness.

It would have been far safer than him going alone. And after the Demoness's death, he committed such an almost evil act; it's truly baffling what he was doing.

Klein couldn't help but tap his teeth lightly, activating his Spirit Vision.

Under his Spirit Vision, he saw that Luther's entire body radiated a stable and harmonious color, indicating that his body and mind were generally healthy, except that his brain area was slightly red, suggesting some anxiety. If this anxiety was attributed to Azik being wanted by the authorities, it seemed plausible.

There was no aura of evil or Degeneration emanating from Luther.

"Good morning."

Completely unaware that he was being secretly watched, Luther walked into the hall and greeted them.

He noticed that Rozanne wasn't sitting at the front desk; instead, he saw someone he didn't recognize. He paused for a moment, then suddenly realized...

This person is likely an administrative staff member transferred from the police station. Rozanne had previously said happily that someone could finally cover her shifts, giving her more time to rest.

Upon seeing them, the receptionist smiled politely but reservedly and introduced herself briefly. Sure enough, she was from the Tingen City Police Department, had experienced an extraordinary incident, and because of her faith in Goddess, she was transferred to Blackthorn Security Company after a review process.

After chatting for a while, Luther and Klein crossed the partition and entered the captain's office.

Dunn was sitting at the back of the office, staring intently at a telegram.

"Team leader."

The two spoke together.

"We've got two new civilian staff members in our team; you should have seen them."

"Yes, I think Rozanne would be very happy."

Luther nodded.

To be honest, although Rozanne is very lively and friendly, her professional skills do need improvement. Her father was originally a member of the team, and after he died in the line of duty, the team not only provided him with a pension, but also arranged for Rozanne to join the team, giving her a fairly simple but well-paid job.

It must be said that the Goddess Church has done a pretty good job in this regard.

"Okay, let's not talk about that now."

Dunn picked up the telegram and said to Klein, "Klein, you know Azik, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Azik was my history teacher in college. However, he wasn't my advisor; I only had occasional academic exchanges with him during my studies."

Klein said, somewhat evasively.

"You all brought newspapers, so you should know what's going on. The Tingen City Police Department is investigating Azik and has discovered his connection to you. Klein, write a report detailing everything related to Azik and submit it."

Dunn said that he clearly thought that was all there was to it between Azik and Klein, and that the police station was just asking a routine question.

Luther pretended to know nothing and watched curiously from the side.

After chatting with Dunn for a few more minutes, just as they were about to leave, Dunn remembered something and stopped Luther: "The Demoness case still has no follow-up. Luther, spend some time walking around the streets lately, try your luck, and see if you can spot any members of the Aurora Order."

"Yes."

Luther casually agreed.

"We definitely won't find them, because the perpetrator is right in front of us, Captain."

Klein thought to himself.

Even after leaving the office, Klein was still thinking about Luther.

Luther didn't reveal my relationship with Mr. Azik to the captain. If I were to report him, wouldn't it seem like I'm going too far?

However, he not only acts alone, but he also harbors many secrets. Like the incredible life force that allows him to recover even after being burned, and that mysterious and insane voice...

Thinking of this, he suddenly paused for a moment, then gave a wry smile.

But speaking of secrets, I, the Mr. Fool who presides over the Tarot Club Above the Gray Fog, don't seem to have the right to speak on him... Besides, it's not just him; Leonard also has something special about him. We can't just report them all, can we?

Perhaps I shouldn't be so stubborn.

After thinking it over, Klein concluded that although Luther had some unique characteristics, he didn't have any particularly serious problems for the time being.

Okay, after next week, once Benson and Melissa have finished watching * the Return of the Earl *, I'll investigate further, or maybe I'll just have a serious talk with him. Maybe he's just using Demoness' organs as raw materials to make money, like Old Neil...

After thinking all this through, he finally calmed down and went to his office to start writing a report about Azik on his typewriter.

Luther had no idea that he had almost been reported by Klein today. He stayed at Blackthorn Security Company until the end of his shift and then took a carriage home.

Cecilia should still be at school right now. What are we making for dinner tonight...?

He thought to himself at the doorway.

"Welcome back. You're off work early today."

Just then, Luther heard Ms. M's gentle voice behind him. Turning around, he saw her standing there, seemingly having just returned from outside.

Why did she go out?

Luther was stunned for a moment, then his heart skipped a beat.

If someone else sees this, it could be dangerous!

"Come in quickly!"

He Door Opening and called out softly to Ms. M.

What did you go out to do?

He growled as soon as Ms. M entered the room.

"Take a stroll around and experience the beauty of Tingen City."

Ms. M said something completely unbelievable, "Hehe, no joke, I just noticed your digestion was slow, so I brought you something good."

As she spoke, she took out a book with an undecorated cover from her clothes.

"This is about... the Lord's Scripture."

The book cover was made of an unknown type of leather, and it felt like human skin to the touch.
