Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 162 It's Angry (Four Thousand)
Faced with this very embarrassing scene, Bandit shook his tail and used the ability of "Master of Magic" to summon a breeze, blowing away all the remaining fog in the room.

In this way, Klein and Alice finally saw each other's faces clearly.

"Cough cough."

Alice awkwardly put away the lightning in one hand and the flame in the other and looked at Klein.

"I, I am Mr. Jones's student..."

Although Alice already knew Roger's last name was Abraham, she still called him by his pseudonym, Benelux Jones, in accordance with his request.

Klein also reacted at this time:

"Miss Alice, right? My name is Sherlock Moriarty, Jones's roommate and a private investigator."

"Hello, Detective Moriarty."

The two shook hands gently, and Klein went into the house and took off his coat.

He placed the bag on the table.

"I found a delicious barbecue restaurant and packed up a lot of food after dinner. Miss Alice can also come and eat."

Roger nodded, walked over, pulled out a chair, sat at the table and started opening the package.

Alice also smelled the barbecue at this time, and her stomach began to growl.

Because Roger had called him to Cornflower Road far away in the East District early on, and then another fight broke out.

In addition, Alice's promotion to Sequence 8 had consumed too much physical and spiritual energy throughout the entire process. She was now starving.

"Come and eat, you're welcome."

Roger mumbled with a mouthful of black pepper fried veal in his mouth.

"Then I won't be polite."

Alice nodded, walked over, opened a package of boneless barbecue and started eating.

While the two were eating, Klein took out half a salmon from a paper bag for Bandit and placed it in his cat food bowl.

Bandit immediately cried out in happiness and rushed forward.

Roger and Alice discussed their plans for the evening while eating, and Klein, who was standing by, overheard everything.

He asked curiously:

"Your plans for the evening seem interesting. Can you take me with you?"

"what……"

Alice opened her mouth, hesitant.

Considering that Roger and Bandit are both Beyonders (cats), it is highly likely that Detective Moriarty, who lives with them, is also an Beyonder.

However, she didn't know Klein's specific situation, and she wasn't sure whether her teacher would be willing to let him go, so she didn't say anything in the end.

"can."

Roger nodded. "But let me be clear. Although the specific situation over there is still unclear, there should be at least 10 Beyonders. Their leader, Nicholas Pascal, is no less powerful than Sequence 8, most likely Sequence 7. If you want to go, you'll need to be fully prepared."

"Row."

Klein nodded and immediately stood up to organize his combat tools, including extraordinary items, pistols, enchanted bullets, etc.

"Teacher, can you tell me which path of Beyonder Detective Moriarty is from?"

While Klein was gone, Alice asked curiously.

Although Roger had already told her about the 22 Paths of God, today she had personally witnessed and fought with the extraordinary beings of the "Arbitrator" and "Hunter" paths.

The Sequence 8 "Raging Citizen" was controlled by Roger throughout the entire process, and was then hit by the explosion of the "Heavenly Body" spell. He is now most likely in a state of mental disorder.

This also meant that Alice did not have the opportunity to fight with him, which she still feels a bit regretful when she thinks about it now.

But this experience made Alice very interested in other avenues and she was eager to learn more information.

"I am a Beyonder of the 'Fortune Teller' Path."

At this moment, Klein just came out with a revolver. Hearing Alice's question, he answered with a smile.

Generally speaking, he would not easily tell others about his path, but considering that Alice was a student that Roger had already approved, he did not hide it.

"Soothsayer..."

Alice muttered to herself.

This is the first path among the 22 paths of God, while the "Apprentice" path can only be ranked second.

Although Roger had told her that the strength of the extraordinary path had nothing to do with the order, Alice still had many doubts about "why it was arranged in this way".

She thought for a while and said:

"Teacher, why are the 'Diviner' path and the 'Apprentice' path so close? Is there some connection between them?"

Roger's steak-cutting movement paused slightly, and Klein also stopped.

"What? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

Alice spoke in a somewhat strange tone.

Klein chuckled dryly, while Roger put down his knife and fork and rubbed his brow.

"No... Not only is there nothing wrong with it, it can even be called very sharp."

He thought for a moment and continued:

"This involves some high-level knowledge of the Extraordinary Path. It's not time for you to know it yet. I will slowly explain it to you after you reach Sequence 6."

"Okay, teacher."

Seeing this, Alice stopped asking questions.

Having been Roger's disciple for so long, she has come to know her teacher's personality very well.

Roger would tell her everything that could be said, but if it was something that could not be said for the time being, he would not say it no matter how much she begged him.

"But judging from Detective Moriarty's expression just now, he seemed to know what the teacher was hesitant to say?"

After dinner, the three of them chatted for a while.

Unlike Roger, who actually hailed from a small town near Pritz Harbor in the Greater Backlund region but disguised himself as from Ahowa County, Klein was a true Tingen native.

So compared to Roger, he and Alice had a lot more common topics, especially when talking about some places from their childhood such as the circus, the closed-down theater, etc., both of them had a lot of emotions.

Klein didn't tell Alice about his background in Tingen, but only vaguely said that he was a graduate of the Faculty of Law at Khoy University.

Of course, he did not forget to promote his detective business to Alice.

Considering that there weren't many Beyonders in Alice's circle, Klein emphasized that he could also take on commissions like finding cats and dogs and catching cheating people, and he also gave several vivid examples.

Alice was sometimes stunned and sometimes giggled at these things. "Oh, I envy your life so much, it's really rich and interesting..."

Alice sighed as she thought of her boring daily life.

Now studying at the Royal Art Troupe, she has less than two days of rest a week, and most of her time is spent on repeated workload.

If she had the need to digest the "apprentice" potion before, she could promote the digestion of the potion through daily study and training, but now that she has become a "master of magic", it will undoubtedly be more difficult for her to digest the potion than before.

Unlike Klein's past as a "Fortune Teller" when he worked a leisurely part-time job at the Divination Club in Tingen City, studying at the Royal Art Troupe was not so easy to end.

But on the other hand, Alice really likes working on the stage, and becoming an excellent stage actor has been her dream since childhood.

And now it was a great opportunity to study in the Royal Art Company, which inevitably made Alice feel very hesitant and conflicted.

After she shared her concerns with Roger and Klein, Klein suddenly spoke:

"If I remember correctly, there should be moments in stage plays where magic tricks are needed, right?"

Alice was slightly startled when she heard this, but she quickly realized what Klein meant.

There are two main perspectives on understanding his words.

First, compared to the ancient times after the 20th century when various technologies emerged one after another, the means that Loen could use to express the stage atmosphere in this era were still very limited.

Even with the research results of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, stage plays still rely on sets using steam-driven mechanical parts and chemicals such as dry ice to create effects.

However, due to the backward industrial level, the prices of these stage effects are often very expensive, and sling technologies such as wire ropes are completely unheard of.

Therefore, Alice can use her understanding of stage plays to find ways to create some stage effects that go beyond people's understanding of the current era.

The unprecedented "special effects" will undoubtedly bring great shock to the audience, which is also in line with the title of "Master".

After all, if a "master" wants to be recognized, he must bring different and novel experiences to others.

The second perspective is that Alice can find a new way and take on some stunt roles.

For example, magicians, jugglers, etc.

This would also fit the character of the "Magic Master" more directly, but it would require more research on the magic itself, and it would not be possible to simply use the magic master's abilities to perform directly on stage.

That would not only quickly make the audience feel bored, but would also alert the official extraordinary forces.

Of course, there are also problems in creating stage sets, so no matter which path Alice chooses, it is something that needs careful consideration.

Seeing that Alice understood, Klein made some more scenario assumptions to supplement this idea.

These words made Alice fall into conflicted thoughts, and she said she needed some time to think about it.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the three of them cleaned up the table and cutlery, and took the same rented carriage to Varanasi Street in the east district.

Another hour passed on this journey, and it was gradually getting dark when they arrived.

Roger took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. It was six o'clock in the afternoon. Singing and laughter could be heard from the interior of a shop in front of him that was decorated quite grandly and had a sign that read "Brothers Bar" hanging on it.

According to Blaise Pascal, the second floor of the "Brothers Bar" is Nicolas Pascal's main hiding place.

Roger gave Bandit a wink, and the cat immediately understood. It jumped into the air and disappeared through the wall in the basement of the "Brothers Bar".

Seeing that there was no one on the street, Klein put on the "Wanderer Mask" under Alice's shocked gaze, changing his appearance and figure. He then took out his topaz pendulum and divined the dangers within.

The pendulum rotates clockwise at a fast speed and with medium amplitude!
"There is a clear risk, and the level is moderate."

Klein put away the crystal pendulum and said to Roger.

Alice, having recovered from her shock, watched Klein's actions with curiosity. After hearing his interpretation, she became a little nervous.

In her opinion, although the danger in "Pascal's Tavern" this morning was not that great, even so, if Roger had not used flesh and blood magic to save the situation in the end, she would probably have died there.

Klein's divination just now revealed that the danger level of the "Brothers Bar" was medium. This was most likely the "average result" taken after considering the presence of Roger, a powerful Beyonder.

In other words, this place is very dangerous for Alice herself!
But Roger just chuckled, pushed open the door of "Brothers Bar" and walked in.

Klein followed calmly, while Alice walked at the end, looking rather nervous.

Roger didn't say anything after entering the bar. Instead, he took out a silver revolver from the gun bag hidden under his coat.

The next moment, he pointed the pistol at the ceiling and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

After three shots, the various customers who were originally immersed in alcohol were mostly sober, turned their heads and noticed the handsome young man in a beige windbreaker and a wide-brimmed hat of the same color, and the man and woman behind him.

Their eyes were filled with fear.

The East District is one of the worst areas in Backlund due to the rampant gangs, murders, robberies, and thefts.

However, considering the safety of civil servants and government departments at all levels in the district, the number of police patrolling in the East District on weekdays is not small. On the contrary, it is even more than that in other areas.

In addition, the "Brothers Bar" is the territory of Mr. Pascal, the recognized boss of Varanasi Street and several surrounding blocks. The tall young man in front of him actually dared to openly shoot here. If he is not a pure desperado, then he must have an extremely powerful background!

"I've got ten seconds to get out of this bar.

"You don't have to pay for your drinks, because after today, 'Brothers Bar' will no longer exist."

This sentence was like a pardon, causing all the drinkers to scramble to escape towards the bar door after a brief pause.

Although Roger gave 10 seconds, it only took 7 or 8 seconds at most, and all the customers on the two floors disappeared.

The only people left in the store were two bartenders behind the bar and a dozen burly men still sitting and drinking with stern expressions on their faces.

Considering Roger's previous threat, the only ones who could still sit here and not move were of course Nicolas Pascal and his men.

“Who is Nicolas Pascal?

"Get out of here within three seconds, or everyone here will die."

Roger spoke in a cold voice as he transformed his right hand into a giant sword of bone and blood and looked around.

"I didn't expect that after I haven't been out there for a few years, you, the Aurora Society, a bunch of rats who believe in evil gods, have gotten better.

"A few cats and dogs dare to run wild in the East District. They must be tired of living."

A deep voice came from upstairs. Roger looked up and saw a pot-bellied man with a cane coming down from upstairs.

"you……"

As their eyes met, Roger felt a sudden commotion in his chest before he could say anything.

He reached there curiously and took out the white jade-like finger that Mr. A had given him before.

At this moment, the finger was expanding and contracting violently, as if it had come back to life.

Although he couldn't speak, Roger could still sense something.

It's very angry!
