Chapter 261: Hunting

Klein arrived at the Aurora Order's base and found Beierte Moore, and also met Mr. A.

"I am preparing to hunt the 'Demon'."

As soon as these words were spoken, both Beierte and Mr. A were astonished.

"Just by relying on you?" Mr. A's gaze was extremely oppressive.

"That's right, just by relying on me." Klein's expression was calm.

"……Very well." Mr. A stared at Klein for a good while, then nodded slightly.

"I can feel that the 'Demon' is still spying on me, wishing it could eat me, but I cannot guarantee my safety on my own, so I need your assistance."

In fact, the Klein Detective Agency, combined with Maric and Sharon, was already a sufficiently powerful force, but since they were dealing with an evil sect, naturally, the more help, the better.

Therefore, he sought out Mr. A.

"So I need a reasonable opportunity to lure it into making a move," Klein said.

"How will you deal with Malice Perception? Perhaps the 'Demon' has already guessed that you are going to deal with it."

This unreasonable perception of the "Demon" was truly disgusting.

"Isn't that perfect? I want to hunt it, and it wants to eat me; it just depends on whose methods are superior." Klein appeared very confident.

"I will prepare to advance recently to force it to act." This was also one of Klein's plans; most of his materials came from the Tarot Club's channels, and as long as he didn't say anything, others could not be certain that he had completed his advancement.

Next, he would go to collect Beyonder materials, feigning a state of being about to advance.

The "Demon" likely also knew of his prowess; it couldn't eat him now, and after he advanced, it would have even less of a chance.

"……You have convinced me." Mr. A looked at Klein deeply.

"Beierte, you are responsible for following up on this matter; I will make a move at the appropriate time."

Mr. A naturally looked down on a Sequence 6 "Demon"; what he was more concerned with was the Demon Family behind the "Demon," or rather, the Blood Sect.

"Alright!" Beierte immediately pulled Klein to the side, his tone somewhat anxious, "You are in great danger doing this!"

"I am certain of it." Klein had naturally gone through deep consideration, and to ensure safety, he was even prepared to write a letter to Azik.

Azik was also in Backlund recently.

"……That will have to do then!" Beierte blinked and scratched his head, "I will protect you!"

This was also the tenet of the Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society: mutual help and support; a group of people "far away" from their hometown would still help a fellow countryman if they could.

"Thank you," Klein said earnestly.

"You're welcome!" Beierte smiled dashingly.

Klein soon left the Aurora Order's base, holding a small package in his hand containing some Spirituality materials.

Afterwards, he went to several mystical gatherings, truly acting like a Beyonder collecting materials to prepare for advancement.

"Huh?" Unexpectedly, Klein encountered two very familiar young ladies.

"Is that Miss Magician and her friend?" Klein observed these two ladies without changing his expression.

"Fors! Why did you drag me along to see your teacher?" the blonde lady of unremarkable height complained.

"My teacher is a very powerful Beyonder, you know. I'm already a 'Trickmaster' now, and you're still an 'Arbiter.' I want to help you ask the teacher if they can find the formula for 'Justiciar'."

Fors said as if it were a matter of course.

"Then I shouldn't go either! This is your reunion."

Xue resisted, then a flash of inspiration struck her, and her face stiffened, "You're cooking tonight; are you trying to take me along to mooch a meal?!"

That was the truth!

"Uh……" Fors's expression was somewhat stiff, then she retorted, "Am I that kind of person?"

"You are." Xue's gaze was filled with majesty.

"……" Fors had nothing to say.

Passing by the two ladies and accidentally hearing this conversation, the corners of Klein's mouth curled up as he walked away without any abnormality.

Klein restrained his smile, just as a very meticulously dressed gentleman walked toward him; he held a precious cane in his hand, and a small Crystal Ball was embedded on the cane.

Klein brushed past this gentleman, yet felt a palpitation in that instant.

Cold sweat instantly seeped out behind Klein, but he remained calm and walked away with steady steps.

"Teacher! Long time no see!" Fors's voice rang out.

Klein walked into a hidden alley before finally leaning against the wall, gasping for breath.

"What happened? Why did my Spirituality suddenly give a warning?"

Klein frowned deeply; his spiritual intuition was even more terrifying now, to the point where he could even skip the divination process to get an answer.

But in that instant just now, his spiritual intuition was triggered, leaving him with an indescribable palpitation.

"Was it that gentleman just now? No, he shouldn't have any malice toward me……"

"Then perhaps it is that this gentleman might cause me to fall into a terrifying crisis?!"

Klein interpreted the warning given by his Spirituality, "He is 'Magician's' teacher, so…… from the Abraham Family?!"

And combined with the intelligence from Bishop Chumen, the Abraham Family was one of the main forces searching for the "Fool."

"Perhaps I can investigate the reason through Miss 'Magician'……"

Klein had already adjusted his state and made a decision.

He looked deeply in the direction where that gentleman was, and ultimately left.

As the sky grew dark, Klein felt it was about time and began to deliberately duck into alleys with few people.

Then, without any surprise, Klein saw that large black dog.

The black dog's mouth was half-open, revealing sharp teeth; on each tooth grew dark red, rust-like stains—that was raw meat, possibly human!

The black dog's eyes were as bright and fierce as magma, staring fixedly at Klein.

After the previous exchange, the "Demon" also knew that Klein possessed keen spiritual perception, and that sneak attacks were of no use.

Therefore, it chose a frontal assault!

"Roar!" The demon dog let out a low growl and lunged fiercely at Klein; in the process, its body suddenly swelled, transforming into a Monster three meters tall!

Pale blue flames sputtered from its fur, and the scent of sulfur diffused into the air.

Klein felt as if Mount Tai were pressing down on him, sensing immense pressure.

"Die!" the demon whispered, and Filth stained Klein's body.

But the next second, Klein's stagnant figure thinned and faded, becoming a crudely cut Paper Figurine.

Snap!

A finger snap rang out, the flames sputtering from the demon's body surged, Klein leaped out from within them, and at the same time, Klein also spat out Filthy Words.

"Die!"

At this moment, Klein's eyes became as clear and bright as a Mirror, reflecting the figure of the "demon."

"Mirror Image"!

This eerie power caused the demon dog's figure to suddenly stall, as it felt the pain Klein had once endured.
