Upon hearing Klein's answer, Elizabeth became a little nervous and unconsciously quickened her pace, saying:
"Could you help me with Divination to find out the cause? It would be even better if you could also Divination a solution..."
Divination can at best offer a direction for a solution, and even then, it's often symbolic, vague, and easily Error... Of course, you're lucky; I'm not just a simple Seer, but a true occultist... Klein muttered a couple of thoughts about the girl's question to himself, then solemnly and seriously said:
"Since it's related to dreams, I suggest using Divination methods based on that."
"Okay, okay," Elizabeth nodded like a chick eating.
Klein maintained his professional demeanor and said, "I need you to sleep here and recreate that dream. Is that alright?"
"No problem, I trust you." Elizabeth pursed her lips and answered without hesitation.
But she quickly stammered, "But, but I... I can't guarantee I'll definitely, definitely have that dream."
"It's just an experiment," Klein Placate him with a gentle smile.
Then, he pointed to the sofa on the side of the "Red Agate" Divination room and said, "Please."
"No, no need, I'll sleep here." Elizabeth gently shook her head, crossing her arms as if to hug herself. "When I feel tired at school, I take a nap like this during the break between classes."
As she spoke, she used her arms as a pillow, leaned forward, and rested her head on the edge of the table.
"Okay, you can pretend I don't exist." Klein smiled as he observed the girl's aura and emotional state to determine if she had successfully fallen asleep.
"Mmm." Elizabeth closed her eyes, buried her face in her arms, and tried to even out her breathing.
Klein didn't say anything more, leaning back in his chair, and the room suddenly became unusually quiet.
It brings peace to the mind and allows one to forget about external things.
After a while, once he was sure Elizabeth had fallen asleep, Klein took out a semi-circular silver plate from his pocket. The plate was covered with Hermes that were difficult for ordinary people to understand, as well as various symbolic symbols, numbers, and signs.
This is the " Dream Charm " that Klein successfully created yesterday morning!
At the same time, he also completed two " Sleeping Charm " and two " Requiem Charm ". The former was made of a rectangular silver sheet, and the latter was triangular, so that he could distinguish them by touch during intense battles.
"Crimson!" Klein uttered in a deep voice, reciting a word from the Ancient Hermes.
This is the incantation he set up. Since there is a subsequent step of infusing Spirituality, it doesn't need to be different from others. It just needs to be easy to remember and short enough.
As the mysterious voice echoed, Klein felt the " Dream Charm " in his palm suddenly become light, as if it had briefly lost its weight.
Once the Spirituality was infused into him, he immediately placed the talisman on the table in front of him.
A transparent flame rose silently, enveloping the talisman and burning with a deep, tranquil black.
The blackness spread rapidly, instantly enveloping Klein and Elizabeth.
Klein seized the opportunity, entered a Cogitation state, and used his Spirituality to see a hazy, illusory oval sphere of light ahead.
The sphere of light was surrounded by boundless deep blackness, making it appear exceptionally lonely.
Klein dared not delay and immediately extended his Spirituality to touch the unreal sphere of light.
Without a sound, the scene around him began to flicker and invert, but quickly settled into a yellowish-brown plain, on which lay many dead horses and humans, with blood and weapons everywhere.
Elizabeth, dressed in a long court dress with mutton sleeves and a hat with a thin veil hanging down her head, was looking around blankly.
She immediately spotted Klein, and a delighted smile instantly spread across her face:
"Mr. Moretti, we meet again! When Selena and I went to the Divination -Divination Club before, I suspected that the Klein Moretti. I went a few more times afterward, but because I had to go to class, our times always clashed..."
"When summer vacation started and I had more free time, my father and mother took me to the Ramde Town for a holiday..."
"You can definitely help me, right?"
Listening to the girl's rambling, Klein was momentarily stunned:
It turns out that Elizabeth had long suspected I was working part-time at the Divination Club, and had even come looking for me several times...
She didn't show any abnormality whatsoever!
Yes, the surprise was genuine, which perfectly masked my true feelings...
Sure enough, everyone is honest in their dreams, except for me, the " The Fool "...
As his thoughts raced, Elizabeth's dream shifted, and a towering knight, over 1.9 meters tall, dragged a broadsword that could touch the ground as he walked towards her step by step.
The knight, clad in full black armor, moved with a slight metallic clanging sound. Two flame-like Red Light shone through the gaps in his visor as he stared intently at Klein and Elizabeth.
The will of a Wraith... is not enough to reach the level of Evil Spirit... Klein, who was already in Spirituality state, did not need to activate his Spirit Vision at this time.
In the Nighthawks' internal data, lingering resentment and unwillingness are the weakest and easiest to deal with among the soul-type things, followed by Specter and Wraith. Evil Spirit are considered very troublesome soul-type Monster, and the most terrifying Evil Spirit are said to be no weaker than High-Sequence powerhouses.
Thinking of this, Klein stepped forward, blocking Elizabeth's path, and then stomped his right foot heavily, shattering the dream in an instant.
Countless firefly-like lights fluttered about as Klein's Spirituality returned to his body, allowing his eyes to see again the dimly lit "Red Agate" Divination room, the table laden with various Divination tools, and the " Dream Charm " that had burned down to just a few embers.
Looking at this scene, and remembering that the runes in the Evernight Goddess's domain were all made of pure silver, Klein couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
This thing is just burning money! Even without considering my labor costs, just the various materials alone cost an average of 6 to 8 Soli each!
Hmm, thinking about the Beyonder of the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun makes me feel a bit better; after all, they burn gold...
--The corresponding metal in the Sun system is gold.
At this moment, Elizabeth softly hummed in acknowledgment, slowly waking up and sitting upright again.
She glanced at Klein somewhat evasively and said:
"Mr. Moretti, has the Divination yielded any results?"
"Yes," Klein nodded quite seriously, "The nightmares will disappear on their own in no more than a week."
I will report to the captain and have him send someone to Ramde Town to handle the situation promptly... Klein added the unspoken part in his mind.
"Really? That's wonderful! Thank you, Mr. Moretti!" Elizabeth became excited and thrilled, then suddenly frowned.
"What's wrong?" Klein asked with concern.
"Nothing much, I just realized I have to go home." She slowly took out a 1- Soli note that she had prepared beforehand, placed it on the table, and then, holding her hat, bid farewell to Klein with composure.
After leaving the "Red Agate" Divination room, she walked lightly towards the stairs outside the door. Once she was sure no one was watching, she hurriedly shook her arms and cried out in a low voice:
"It's so numb, so numb..."
Inside the Blackthorn Security Company, Dunn rubbed his forehead, his gray eyes fixed on Klein across from him, and said:
"Your sudden return suggests you've encountered some extraordinary event."
"Hey, Captain, why do you sound so disgusted..." Klein cleared his throat and answered without hesitation:
"Yes."
"What incident?" Dunn Smith rubbed his forehead again.
Klein answered clearly and logically:
"Two things. One is that when I went to the underground market to buy talisman materials, I found the ' Monster ' Admisol huddled in a corner, trembling with fear."
Here, he frantically Psychological Suggestion the material costs should be reimbursed.
As for the Detective fees for finding Duster Guderian, he couldn't bring himself to mention it because it involved the Red Chimneys, and he deeply regretted not having commissioned two different Detective agencies at the time.
Dunn seemed oblivious to Klein's hidden meaning and nodded slightly, saying:
What happened to Admisol?
Klein let out a silent sigh and described in detail:
" Admisol had a dream where there was blood everywhere, and dead people everywhere, including himself, and he was terrified."
Dunn spoke slowly, as if deep in thought:
"As Seer, what do you think this symbolizes?"
"A disaster, a disaster with a wide impact, but that's all the information we have. Besides, not every one of Admisol's dreams is necessarily symbolic," Klein replied carefully.
"I'll submit it to the Holy Cathedral and see what their opinion is," Dunn said, shaking his head with a self-deprecating laugh. "This isn't something I'm good at."
Klein had no other ideas, so he started talking about Elizabeth being haunted by the spirits of Wraith ghosts.
" The Ramde Town... that young lady is a follower of the goddess, isn't she?" Dunn asked thoughtfully.
"Yes," Klein replied affirmatively.
"Then there's no problem. You and I will head to Ramde Town now and try to have dinner there. Hmm, bring Frye along too; his abilities are very useful in cases involving corpses and ghosts." Dunn rubbed his temples, trying to remember if he had forgotten anything.
--If Elizabeth does not believe in the Evernight Goddess, then she must be handed over to either the " Mandated Punishers " or the " Machinery Hivemind " according to her specific beliefs. If her beliefs are not even within the three major churches, then she will belong to the " Machinery Hivemind " responsible for the suburbs.
Klein remained silent for a while, then finally heard Dunn add:
"Also, since we are a group of three, we can apply to use the Sealed Artifact '3-0782'."
"3-0782"? Klein pondered for a while before remembering that the corresponding Sealed Artifact was " Mutated Holy Emblem of the Sun ".
The extraordinary effects of this holy symbol seem to last for a very long time. Its function is to continuously Purification the corpses and ghosts within a 15-meter radius. The downside is that it also Purification the souls of normal people at the same time. Research data shows that if a normal person stays within its 15-meter range for 1 hour, they will become an idiot who only knows how to "praise the Sun." The limit for Beyonder is 6 hours.
As for ghosts and corpses, they will dissipate in less than a minute.
Huh, the captain actually remembers the code name of this Sealed Artifact... Damn, I feel like my memory is even worse than his... Klein suddenly froze, almost wanting to hang himself with a noodle.
Just then, Dunn Smith leaned back, his grey eyes deep and unfathomable, and asked:
"You went to the Divination Club again? Have you noticed any changes in your behavior these past few days?"
