Mystery: A Spark

And a thought also arose in his mind.

Klein's original plan was to report the red-chimney house to the three major churches himself after finding its location.

But after what happened today, he felt that he should be able to tell the captain the information, and then the captain could contact the other two churches.

In this way, he wouldn't be suspected, and it's perfectly normal for someone of his rank, like a captain, to have their own intelligence sources.

Chapter 67 Where are your glasses?

The night watchman's carriage traveled on a relatively smooth road.

Inside the carriage, Klein suddenly remembered a question.

Without hesitation, he asked directly:

"Captain, does Old Neil have a wife?"

Dunn recalled for a moment, then spoke:

"When he was young, old Neil had a girlfriend he was about to get engaged to, but she suddenly fell seriously ill and was difficult to cure."

"Old Neil risked revealing the secrets of the extraordinary at that time and tried to save her with ritual magic, but he failed. At that time, Old Neil was just a beginner in the field of mysticism."

"According to records, the night watchmen at that time were wary that Old Neil might lose control because of this. Fortunately, he eventually regained his senses and did not show any abnormalities."

Klein recalled and said:

"On the day I became an Extraordinary, I saw a pair of illusory and eerie eyes watching everything from behind Old Neil."

"He also told me at the time that this was a sign of residual ritual magic."

Dunn said in a deep voice:

"It seems that old Neil must have been acting strangely all along."

"Captain, just now I..." Leonard hesitated for a while, and was about to tell the captain about his encounter with the strange extraordinary person when the carriage arrived at its destination.

Dunn patted the poet classmate on the shoulder and said:

"Let's talk about it slowly after things are resolved."

"Okay." Leonard composed himself and got off the carriage one after the captain and Klein.

The three walked through the garden planted with roses and mint and arrived in front of Old Neil's detached house.

Instead of knocking, Dunn took out a pistol from his pocket.

"Captain, it can't be that bad," Klein said in surprise.

Dunn did not answer, but simply loaded the Demon Hunter bullets he carried into the magazine one by one, and Leonard next to him did the same.

After loading the gun, Dunn concealed it in his clothing for easy access, looked at the door ahead, and said softly:

"It's better to be prepared. Go ring the doorbell."

Klein had no choice but to step forward and pull the rope that connected to the bell inside the house.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

The clear and pleasant ringtone echoed in the room, breaking the heavy silence.

Clang! Clang! Klein pulled a few times, then politely stepped back and didn't try again.

The three night watchmen waited patiently for several minutes, but they never heard any footsteps coming to open the door.

Just as Klein and his two companions were feeling increasingly uneasy and preparing to force their way in, the door opened.

Old Neil, who appeared completely normal, stood behind the door, looking at the three people at the entrance with a somewhat bewildered expression.

"Captain, Leonard, Klein, what brings you here?"

Klein tapped his teeth, activated his spiritual vision to take a look, but found nothing. He then turned to look at Dunn.

Dunn said softly:

"Old Neil, we're planning to go to church for a prayer today, and we'd like to invite you to join us."

Leonard said from the side:

"Yes, things have suddenly gotten busier lately, so we're planning to go to a prayer together to clear our minds and take a break."

"Well... alright," Old Neil agreed hesitantly.

He locked the door and went to the Church of St. Serena with the three of them.

......

Zotland Street, Blackthorn Security Company.

Klein, Leonard, and Luo Yao, who was temporarily guarding the Chanis Gate, waited anxiously in the room.

It was quite a while before they saw Captain Dunn open the door and come in.

"Captain, how is Old Neil?" The three men rushed forward anxiously to ask when they saw their captain return.

"Fortunately, Old Neil was relatively restrained. Although he discovered it not too early, as long as he stopped receiving that knowledge, it could still be salvaged."

"However, the situation has been strange lately, so to be on the safe side, it's best to keep him in the church for now; it's safer that way."

Dunn's tone was clearly filled with lingering fear; he was just a hair's breadth away from experiencing the pain of losing his teammates again.

"That's good." Klein and the other two immediately relaxed a bit.

Dunn sighed and said:

"However, Old Neil cannot access occult knowledge for the time being, so your occult courses will have to be suspended."

“It’s alright, Captain. Old Neil has already taught me everything I can currently access. What I need now is more practice,” Klein said, shaking his head slightly.

"This time, we owe a great debt to that unfamiliar extraordinary individual. If it weren't for him, Old Neil would probably..." Luo Yao said with some relief.

"Yes, that extraordinary being showed us goodwill, and we should find a way to repay him."

Dunn thought for a moment and asked:

"Leonard, besides telling you about Old Neil, what else did that Extraordinary One say?"

Leonard replied:

“He gave me a note and hinted that I should go to the church to read it, so just to be on the safe side, I burned it after I read it.”

Klein's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked:

"What does that extraordinary being look like?"

"He was a rather refined blond young man, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses."

He looked at Klein and asked in surprise, "What, you know him?"

It was Mr. "Chariot"! Was he lingering here because he sensed something was amiss...? Klein thought to himself.

He thought for a moment, then spoke:

"Leonard, do what you think is right, don't tell us anything."

Klein then turned to Dunn and said:

"Captain, trust me."

Dunn pondered for a moment, then nodded, agreeing with Klein's opinion.

He said to Leonard:

"You don't need to participate in duty anymore. Take care of your business first, and then return to the team."

Leonard looked at the three of them and solemnly accepted the task that Dunn had given him.

......

That evening, Leonard left Tingen in the night watchman's carriage that had been temporarily assigned to him.

Shortly after leaving the city, he dismounted from the carriage and left the driver, Caesar, to wait.

Leonard quickly determined his direction and then hurried forward, arriving at the Hoy River after a few minutes.

He looked around and spotted a tall, blond young man standing by the river not far away.

The young man stood facing the river, his hands behind his back, exuding an air of superiority.

Leonard stepped forward, stood beside him, and said:

"Thank you for the information, otherwise I would have lost a teammate. I owe you a favor."

He turned around, looked at Arthur, and said:

"If you need my help with anything, just say so. As long as it doesn't violate my principles, I'm fine with it."

Arthur turned around, a smile on his face, and said:

"There is indeed one thing."

"Go ahead and tell me, by the way, why aren't you wearing your glasses this time? Can you see clearly?"

As he spoke, Leonard waved his hand in front of Arthur.

"You're asking about glasses..."

Arthur maintained his smile, reached into his pocket, took out a monocle, and put it on his right eye.

"The glasses are here."

Chapter 68 The Unyielding Pales

Under the quiet night sky, on the banks of the Hoy River.

Leonard stood there, somewhat bewildered, not understanding what had just happened.

Just now, the blond youth in front of him took out a monocle from his pocket and was about to put it on.

Leonard felt a sudden surge of intense fear within him.

This is something that has never happened before.

Before this, no matter what happened, this mysterious soul had never experienced such strong emotions.
