Chapter 211 Klein: So It's a Closed Loop
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Luo En's sudden wary question, an ethereal voice came from behind him.
"No, nothing—maybe I was just overthinking," Luo En shook his head slightly, feigning nonchalance.
But his gaze still lingered in the direction Hishui had just left, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
It was the exact same feeling as when he purified her at the gathering last time—
Was that prying gaze directed at her?
It seems it will be necessary to investigate this Miss later.
Meanwhile, above the Grey Mist.
Looking at the fleeting image before him, Klein was filled with confusion, "Just now—was that person in the image James Scott?"
He had been in the living room, organizing documents and letters about Luo En Disenk, when he suddenly received a very brief prayer.
And it was Hishui—
He had thought that Miss had found someone else to perform an exorcism on herself. He didn't expect to see James Scott in that image.
Because the image flashed by so quickly, he couldn't clearly see what exactly happened, but one thing he could confirm was that the situation just now was definitely critical. Moreover, that client named James Scott was definitely not just some ordinary rich young master—
"I knew there was something off about this person. He must be a Beyonder too!"
When he first accepted the commission, Klein already felt that the other party was somewhat unusual. And the image just now completely confirmed his suspicion.
The only thing he regretted was that the "live broadcast" image this time was too short, making it impossible for him to see what was attacking them, and some of the attacks were blurry.
Strange—why would that Scott encounter Hishui?
Also, that golden glowing object in his hand—could it be that he was the one who performed the exorcism on Hishui at the gathering last time?
"It's very possible. I knew he looked somewhat familiar!" Klein mused.
But why would he look for Hishui? Wait!
Klein's pupils suddenly constricted!
The commission to find Luo En Disenk was personally handed to him by Hishui Dilcha!
Honestly, when Miss Justice later recommended Hishui Dilcha to join the Tarot Club, he was truly startled!
Could it be that "Hishui gave me this commission in the guild."
"Then I asked Miss Justice at the Tarot Club to help investigate."
"Then Miss Justice assigned this task to Hishui—"
"Then Hishui came to urge me to complete the task—"
Klein's expression instantly twisted.
Isn't this a perfect closed loop?!
So, our previous investigations were actually just putting pressure on each other?!
The reason Hishui urged me so much was also because she was also under pressure from Miss Justice.
After forcibly calming his somewhat exasperated mood, Klein brought his thoughts back on track.
Could that James Scott have already found out that Hishui was also looking for Luo En Disenk, and that's why he deliberately approached her?
Klein glanced at the letters from James Scott placed on his desk.
Because every time he divined something related to Luo En, various accidents would occur, Klein no longer dared to directly divine his specific movements.
But the letters on the desk were fine; through divination, he had confirmed that these letters were indeed written by Luo En Disenk himself.
"In that case, this James Scott is also very suspicious. His commission for me to find Luo En probably has other motives."
Klein picked up the letters on the desk and read them again.
"Alas—"
It seems that the truth of some matters can only be fully known by finding Luo En Disenk himself.
"Oh, our great detective is still busy, huh?"
In the evening, Irin returned to 15 Minsk Street. She looked at Klein, who was still engrossed in work at his desk, and teased him.
"Mm." Klein simply responded.
After so many days of getting along, he had roughly figured out how to interact with this woman.
This woman often liked to make suggestive jokes, trying to provoke him. As long as he wasn't afraid of awkwardness and completely ignored her, then ultimately, only she would be awkward.
"Hmph—"
Looking at Klein, who was still buried in his work, Irin pursed her lips.
Hmph, I refuse to believe it—
"Still—alone?"
"Mm."
At an inconspicuous vantage point in the East Borough, Luo En listened to the intelligence relayed by his Bodyguard Miss and nodded slightly.
As he had expected, the detective named Sherlock Moriarty had indeed come to the East Borough and even conducted a proper investigation.
Due to being stretched thin, Luo En had originally wanted to offer additional compensation and ask his Bodyguard Miss to help keep an eye on a few other locations where clues might appear.
However, perhaps because he hadn't competed with her for the Werewolf's spoils before, the Bodyguard Miss was exceptionally generous and didn't ask for any additional payment.
Honestly, after they teamed up to deal with that Werewolf, the relationship between the two of them became somewhat subtle. Luo En was well aware that the Bodyguard Miss must have already noticed that he also had a significant entanglement with the Rose School of Thought.
Otherwise, his skilled methods when dealing with that Werewolf would be unexplainable.
A more extreme possibility was that the Bodyguard Miss first discovered his abnormality, and then came to be his bodyguard—
And the Bodyguard Miss herself must also be very clear that he had already noticed her awareness.
However, both of them tacitly avoided discussing this matter again.
It's not time yet. After I'm done with this Sherlock Moriarty matter, I'll find an opportunity to have a good talk with her about these things.
Since we are both targeted by those Lunatics from the Indulgence Faction, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The Bodyguard Miss connection might—be of great use in the future.
