Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 107 Roger's Gain (4000 in this chapter)

Seeing that Bandit was beginning to show signs of mania and loss of control, Roger spoke again to remind it.

"First, imagine your cat's food bowl. Use this method to strengthen your control over visual effects..."

Roger did not let Bandit try to imagine something unreal right away. Instead, he used the cat food bowl, the thing that was most deeply engraved in Bandit's mind, as a guide to help him strengthen his ability to control his mental power, thereby restraining the overflowing power of the potion.

When Roger first picked it up, he also relied on the guidance of divination. In a sense, Bandit, like Susie, is an animal with "qualifications". It is precisely because of this that it successfully passed the level of promotion to Sequence 9.

But this does not mean that it can continue to move forward smoothly with its special physique. Roger must let it truly master the meditation skills so that it can become an "extraordinary cat" with the ability to protect itself.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard the word "cat food bowl", Bandit's manic tendencies were significantly reduced.

As it gradually calmed down, Klein added:

"Feeling better now? Now you can start to clear your mind and imagine an object that does not exist in the world to replace the original cat food bowl.

"You must follow this rule. Only in this way can you achieve unity with the 'infinity' of yourself and the universe, and gain knowledge that only you can comprehend... This is called a 'mystical experience' in mysticism."

Klein taught Bandit everything Old Neil had taught him, and his nose felt a little sore.

"I wonder how Old Neil is doing? Has he gotten over the Sally Stewart incident?"

"It's okay, it's okay. No matter what, as long as I can survive..."

Thinking of this, he also showed a complicated smile.

After a while, Bandit became completely calm.

Not even sure if it was their own illusion, Roger and Klein both saw saliva flowing from the tabby cat's mouth...

"What happened?" Roger couldn't help but ask.

"Meow meow?"

Bandit was startled awake. He looked at Roger and Klein, who were both concerned, and said:

"I think it's okay."

"By the way, what were you thinking about just now? Why are you still drooling?" Klein asked curiously.

"Ah, I imagined a fish as big as a steam train, and I..."

When Bandit said this, he showed an intoxicated expression again.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Roger and Klein slapped their foreheads at the same time.

They then remembered that they hadn't fed Bandit since noon today...

Regardless, Bandit has successfully risen to the rank of "Master of Tricks."

"Try your ability, but be careful not to use too much strength."

Roger spoke again to guide the tabby cat, then pulled Klein back a little further.

"it is good."

The tabby cat nodded.

The next moment, it slipped and fell...

"The magician's 'slip'..."

Roger's mouth twitched as he explained to the bewildered Klein.

This was not the end. The tabby cat got up and started performing a lot of tricks in the living room of 15 Minsk Street.

Sometimes it was windy, sometimes it burned its beard, and once it even created an electric shock in the mist, which scared Klein so much that he immediately used the agility of the "Joker" to take Roger away.

After a long while, Bandit, with half of his beard burned off and ice chips hanging from his tail, finally adapted to his new abilities and lay down exhausted on the spot to sleep.

After a while, Klein tentatively brought some warm cat food to its mouth, and the cat then stood up and began to devour it.

Seeing that Bandit was fine, Klein and Roger both breathed a sigh of relief.

"What should we do with this guy's performance next? We can't just let him go out on the street and perform magic tricks, right?"

Klein spoke with some worry.

"Maybe. When you become a 'magician', you can take it with you to perform on the streets?"

Roger teased Klein, causing him to roll his eyes.

After the previous attack by Charlotte Green, a member of the Secret Order, and Roger's subsequent explanation of the incident, Klein had determined that the Magician was Sequence 7 of the Diviner pathway.

As for the name of the subsequent sequence potion, Roger did not tell Klein.

Because he knew that a master named Luo would soon come to offer the great Mr. Fool the potion formulas for all the Diviner paths up to Sequence 5 as a tribute...

……

A day later, Klein finally received active contact from the "Zombie" Maric, who claimed that he had a friend who was willing to be Klein's bodyguard for three days.

He decisively agreed to the cooperation and paid 1000 gold pounds as compensation.

After purchasing the "Filthy Words" spell and commissioning a bodyguard, the 5000 gold pounds Klein received from Roger immediately shrank to more than 3000 gold pounds, which made Klein feel a pang of pain.

"You can earn money again, but once you lose your life, it's gone for real..."

He comforted himself like this.

Soon, Klein saw the bodyguard... in his own mirror.

She was a beautiful lady with blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin.

The lady, wearing a black court-style long dress and a small black bonnet, bowed respectfully to Klein.

If Roger were here, he would definitely recognize at a glance that this lady is Ms. Sharon from the "Temperance School" of the Rose School!

However, such a strange ability made Klein feel inexplicably safe—especially when his own premonition of danger had almost reached its peak.

Just after Sharon accepted Klein's bodyguard commission, Ian Wright approached him again and told him the real reason why he was being hunted by Ambassador Bakerland.

This reason shocked Klein.

It turned out that Ian accidentally discovered the manuscript of the great inventor Turanian von Helmothuizen on the third-generation difference engine!
The Difference Engine is a mechanical computing device, one of the crown jewels of the Steam Age's industry. Knowledge related to it is a vital strategic resource. This naturally piqued the interest of the Intis Republic's intelligence services, who hoped to obtain this valuable manuscript!
Finally, Ian Wright told Rune's MI9 the whereabouts of the third-generation difference engine manuscript, and used their battle with the Zmanger Party to save his life.

This news made Klein feel even more nervous, because he hadn't expected that an organization of MI9's caliber was involved.

If it was just a foreign intelligence organization, it would be fine, but if it involved official agencies of Rune, it would be no joke.

If Beckram is eventually captured and confesses that Klein is a Beyonder, then the Nighthawks will most likely come to his house, and Klein, the former Nighthawk who has "resurrected from the dead", will definitely be taken to the Inquisition.

Of course, with Roger's strength, he can definitely save Klein.

But Klein didn't want Roger to become an enemy of the government, nor did he think Roger could defeat Backlund's top official forces.

The best case scenario is to escape, but this will undoubtedly make Klein a wanted criminal, making it difficult for him to move forward.

I can't always live with Roger's mask on, right?

So Bakerlund had to be eliminated so that no one would know his identity.

Just as Klein was thinking this, he received a report from Miss Justice through ritual magic.

Klein later learned that Ambassador Baker was a "Hunter" Pathway Sequence 6 "conspirator" and that Mr. A of the Aurora Society had accepted Miss Justice's assassination commission worth 1 gold pounds.

Mr. Fool suddenly felt a strong sense of relief.

He did not forget to tell Miss Justice to be careful, and then he mentioned that his "Followers" needed 1000 gold pounds for activities, and said that this could be used to offset the debt Audrey owed to the Tarot Club.

Miss Justice naturally agreed without hesitation. For her, anything that could be solved with money was always better than having to pay it back at the level of a Beyonder.

Not only is that extremely dangerous, but there is no guarantee of results.

However, after all this trouble, most of the profit of more than 4 gold pounds made by "Lieutenant General Hurricane" Qi Lingos was gone.

After receiving another 1000 gold pounds, Klein felt his financial anxiety ease a little. At the same time, he also inexplicably felt guilty about being the leader of a cult that deceived an ignorant girl...

"Perhaps I should think of other ways to make money besides detective work... maybe increase my investment in Leppard's bicycle project?
“But this seems to have some risks…”

Klein couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

……

That night.

Backlund West District, Intis Embassy.

In the brightly lit banquet hall, a dance party was being held, and the host was none other than Baker Jean Martin.

This Intis intelligence chief often used such balls to incite entrepreneurs and upper-class people in the Kingdom of Loen to rebel, brainwashing them in a targeted manner, and at the same time promote the superiority of the Intis Republic.

Because of the third-generation difference engine manuscript, Bakerlund encountered unprecedented resistance, but fortunately he obtained a clear clue.

To this end, Bakerlund specially dispatched a Sequence 5 Beyonder named Rosago, who, after handing over the manuscript to the contact informant, would kill Sherlock Moriarty, the young detective who had dared to protect Ian Wright and killed his right-hand man, Meursault.

While thinking this, Baker suddenly noticed a beautiful lady in a crimson dress.

Baker was immediately attracted. He walked up to the woman named Irene and talked to her, and even took the initiative to invite her to dance.

Soon, their physical contact became more frequent, and Bakerlund immediately invited him to his room to taste the 1286 Olmire wine.

The other party agreed without hesitation and followed him to the bedroom.

……

Outside the bedroom, in the living room where Bakerran had deliberately turned off the gas light, Roger, who had disguised himself using the "Wanderer's Mask", stepped out.

At this moment, his face has changed into that of a first-class military attaché at the Intis Embassy - this is also an intelligence officer. Considering that Bakeran, who has been exposed to the vision of MI9, will return to the Intis Republic soon, he will soon take over Bakeran's work.

Roger naturally killed him and changed into his clothes.

On the one hand, this was to provide further identity cover for Klein, and on the other hand, it was out of the sense of responsibility of an ordinary citizen.

Roger sat on the sofa, tasting a bottle of Bakerland's 1286 Olmire wine while staring at the closed bedroom door.

Just a few minutes ago, Mr. A, disguised as a woman, tricked Baker into the room, and at this moment Roger was waiting for him to complete Audrey Hall's commission.

Soon, the sound of fighting was heard from the bedroom.

The sound of flames burning, flesh exploding, and the sound of demons flapping their wings.

Due to the ability of a certain "Black Emperor" Pathway Sequence 6 "Corrupted Baron" that Mr. A had herded, Bakerlund's desire to "not want others to disturb his good deeds" was amplified and distorted, so people outside the suite could not hear the sounds of fighting and shouting.

In other words, this place has been isolated from the outside world by rules!
After hearing this, Roger began to confidently use the insight granted by the "Decryptor Glasses" to search for places in Bakerland's living room where extraordinary items might be stored!
Soon, he followed the clues and found a metal cabinet locked with a special encryption lock behind an oil painting.

"There are valuable items in here that are safe to access."

Roger flipped the coin and got the King's head, which represented "heads."

This allowed him to put on "Benjamin's gloves" with confidence and put his hand in.

"what is this?"

On his first attempt, Roger touched a square object, and with a slight thought in his mind, he pulled it out.

It was a full stack of sealed banknotes. Roger took a quick look and found that there were not only gold pounds, but also 500 and 1000 Filkin banknotes.

Felkin is the common currency of the Intis Republic. Roger didn't look at it carefully and just put the banknotes into his backpack.

On his second attempt, Roger touched a metal object.

He frowned, took it out, and found that it was a revolver with a silver glow.

Judging from the strange glow alone, this is no ordinary revolver, but must be an extraordinary item.

But at this time, Roger had no time to confirm its purpose, because he had already heard the sound of the heavy sword chopping from Bakerlang's bedroom!

This is the "Black Knight" ability that Mr. A copied through the "Recorder" ability and that was shown to him by the "Dark Saint" Xesma!
Such a sound means that Bakerlang is dead!

Roger clearly felt that the shielding effect caused by Bakerlund's twisted will began to collapse rapidly.

While the barrier was still not completely eliminated, Roger used the "Benjamin Gloves" to reach into the safe and touch it again.

This time, he took out a dark red brooch.

Finally, the explosion caused by Baker's death spread outside, and Roger immediately heard a large number of footsteps approaching his position from outside.

The sound of footsteps gave Roger a strong premonition of danger. He didn't even bother to tell fortunes before throwing out the "Traveler's Dice"!
