So he thought about asking the Tarot Club members for help by praying to himself, but he had divined countless times above the gray fog and still didn't know where he was. The Favored Klein might not know, but if Mr. Fool didn't know, it would only destroy the image he had created with great difficulty, and it would not help the current situation at all.

So I can only give up for the time being.

The next day, with the help of divination, they found a way to avoid being hunted down - invade a resident's home before dark, kill the owner and take his place, so that they can stay safely in the house until dawn.

However, early the next morning, the residents they killed would return unharmed. They had forgotten that they had been killed, and still had strange smiles on their faces, greeting and entertaining others warmly.

On the third day, they ran around the town and found nothing.

It is now the fourth day, and still nothing has been gained. However, the two have experienced several life and death situations and have developed a good understanding of each other.

Klein swallowed hard, trying to create a sense of fullness. "If we continue like this, we won't be able to hold on for much longer."

He took out a town map he found in a resident's home and spread it out on the ground:

"Have you noticed that the area shown on this map is larger than the town we saw?"

Fors pointed to the location of the church on the map and said, "Well, so far, we haven't seen this church in the town."

"I think that must be the key to getting out of here."

"But how do we find a place that 'doesn't exist'?"

Klein shook his head. "Perhaps it just doesn't exist during the day. In fact, so far, we haven't searched the town after dark."

"But those monsters..." Fors suddenly realized, "Those monsters are meant to stop people from going to the church?"

"Let's go to the place closest to the church on the map first."

As the last rays of the setting sun set in the sky, darkness enveloped the town.

Roars came from all over the town, and monsters of various shapes and sizes, covered with scales and dripping with slime, rushed onto the streets. They had turbid yellow vertical pupils, and did not have very good vision, relying solely on smell and hearing to identify directions and search for prey.

Fors leaned against the window, watching the monsters passing by the street from time to time. On the floor behind him, a man and a woman lay in blood, dead for a long time, but until the last second of their lives, they still had smiles on their faces.

"how's it going?"

Fors was actually more energetic than before, and her thoughts were clearer. This was a habit she had developed from frequently procrastinating on her manuscripts. The closer it got to the last few days before the submission date, the more she could concentrate on writing and finish the manuscript before the deadline.

Klein sat back in his chair and closed his eyes to divine.

After several broken dreams, he opened his eyes and said:

"The location of the church has changed. If you want to get there, you have to cross most of the town."

"Tsk, it's not that easy after all. What should I do next?"

Klein took out the pendulum crystal and quickly recited silently:

"The house on the left is empty."

"The house on the left is empty."

…

After seven times, the citrine began to rotate clockwise.

"Come on, use your door-opening ability."

Fors grabbed his arm and quickly ran towards the left wall. Just before getting close, she said, "Open the door."

The two figures turned into illusions and penetrated the wall, and came to the house next door. As expected, there was no one there.

Klein then explained:

"Those monsters were transformed from the residents. Since most of them are running around outside, there is naturally no one left in the houses where they originally lived."

He took out a map and unfolded it. "Plus, the layout of this town is horizontal and vertical, and the houses are built side by side. I can use divination to confirm whether the surrounding houses are empty, and then you can use your door-opening ability to take me through the wall and slowly approach the church little by little."

"What if there are people...monsters in the surrounding houses?"

Klein shrugged helplessly, his tired eyes full of determination: "Then we have no choice but to take action!"

In fact, with his current strength, it is not difficult to kill a few monsters. The difficulty is that once too much noise is caused, it will immediately attract the attention of a large number of monsters outside, and then he will be overwhelmed by the monsters that swarm over.

He drew a symbol of the goddess of night on his chest and murmured, "I hope our luck won't be so bad."

...

After wandering around for the whole day, Edward did not return to the villa until 8 o'clock in the evening. He really did his best for Klein.

I just cooked a bowl of instant noodles brought from Harry Potter as a dinner. Lilith also ate some and quietly came up with the idea of ​​becoming a "convenient mouse".

Audrey arrived at around 10 o'clock.

"Oh, I'm really tired."

She collapsed on Edward's bed without any regard for her ladyship, looking devastated.

"What's wrong?"

Audrey stared at the ceiling blankly. "I packed my things during the day. It took me most of the day."

"Eh? Isn't there a maid?"

"There are many things that they cannot see."

She wrinkled her nose, "Don't interrupt."

"I finally had a break in the afternoon, but the Psychological Alchemy Society held a psychology salon." She leaned back with her hands and sat up. "Today's project is to perform a magical 'hypnosis' for us."

"But didn't you tell me before that when I go out to meet the Psychological Alchemy Society, I must remember to pray to Mr. Fool for blessings…" Her eyes lit up when she said this, "Mr. Fool really blessed me with an angel! Oh my God, it was an angel! I've only seen it in books before."

Audrey sighed.

Edward asked, "And then?"

"Then…then they let each of us experience the feeling of being hypnotized." She was a little helpless, "But…with the protection of Mr. Fool's angel, I thought it was impossible for me to be hypnotized, so I had to pretend that I was hypnotized."

"After 'releasing' the hypnosis, I still have to pretend that I didn't know I was hypnotized. I have to show a series of reactions such as shock, surprise, and wonder... Fortunately, I have received similar training before. You know... For example, when the eldest daughter of an aristocratic family encounters an embarrassing situation, she needs to pretend to faint."

Edward laughed: "Hahahaha."

"Anyway, this kind of thing...I don't want to go through it again."

Audrey then asked, "What did you do today?"

Edward's face straightened: "Mr. World is missing. I have been investigating this matter all day."

"ah?"

Ten minutes later, after listening to Edward's story, Audrey frowned and asked, "What does Mr. Fool say?"

"He said Klein is fine."

Audrey immediately laughed: "Since Mr. Fool said so, he must be fine, Edward, maybe you are taking it too seriously."

Hey, Miss Justice, Mr. Fool doesn't have as much confidence in him as you do.

...

Early the next morning.

Backlund's small villa in Queens District.

Edward calculated the time and prayed to Mr. Fool again, then sat on the sofa to think.

Lilith was lying on the side, crunching her mouse jerky. It looked so delicious that Edward couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

She suddenly tilted her head, stared with her crystal-like eyes, and asked cutely:

"Why are you looking at Miss Lilith? The rat will give you half?"

"…Thank you, but that's okay."

Boom boom boom.

There was a knock on the door.

"Dunn."

The captain's voice was as steady and calm as before.

When the door opened, a bearded man wearing a grey tweed coat, a gentleman's hat and smoking a pipe walked in - a very standard detective outfit.

He took off his hat and pipe, and went straight to the point with a serious look:

"I checked yesterday based on the clues you gave me."

Dunn held his pipe and said, "I found that besides Klein, there is at least another group of people looking for the missing maid. They are suspected to be from Loon's MI9."

Edward couldn't help but be surprised. How did MI9 get involved?

Dunn continued:

"Also, when I changed my search target to the recent disappearances in Backlund, I discovered something interesting. Excluding disappearances caused by gang vendettas, kidnappings, and so on, there were dozens of cases of sudden disappearances like Klein!"

"This matter has already attracted the attention of the church, but there are no clues yet. In addition, the church and the government have deliberately covered it up, so it has not caused much waves."

"And all of these missing people, without exception, disappeared shortly after leaving Backlund, with one exception."

At this point, he paused and said, "That's a fairly famous novelist named Fors Wall."

"???"

Edward didn't know for a moment whether he had heard it wrong or it was the same name, Fors Wall, Miss Salted Fish?

"She disappeared yesterday morning after going out to buy cigarettes. According to the store owner, she took a box of cigarettes from the store without paying before she disappeared. If they hadn't known each other for a long time, the owner would have thought she wanted to smoke Super King cigarettes."

Fiction writer, likes smoking.

It's definitely Miss Salted Fish.

Chapter 328 Arrodes, You Should Work Hard

Dunn then concluded:

"So, either there is something special about this Miss Fors Wall, or she is actually not related to the disappearance of other people."

"team leader."

Edward raised his hand. "The Fors you mentioned is my friend."

"…"
