Chapter 40 Peeping, who can't do that?
That person is my friend.
"Just friends!" Klein said anxiously, his tone somewhat serious.
But to Melissa, this was a strange questioning.
"Klein, you're acting strange today!" Melissa's tone also turned somewhat unfriendly, seemingly provoked by her brother's words.
"I..." Klein stammered, stumped by his sister's question.
"In short, don't have any contact with that person again!"
Why?
……
Lorne, who was hiding in a corner not far away, observed the conversation between the brother and sister in front of him.
Sure enough, I knew someone was spying on me.
"Wait, that person looks like the 'fortune teller' from the fortune-telling club." Lorne noticed the man's appearance and was somewhat surprised.
He squinted and carefully examined the other person's figure.
He didn't dare to activate his spiritual vision, partly because he was afraid of blinding himself again, and partly because he was afraid that if he used his spiritual vision rashly, the other party would notice something.
With his enhanced vision from the "machine," he could see the other person's every move very clearly.
There's no mistake, that person is definitely from the fortune-telling club.
Does he know Melissa?
Lorne remembered the contents of the notes on the box of brilliant plans.
I ran into Melissa last time I was looking for my notes, and I ran into her again this time I was looking for someone.
Could it be because Melissa knows the other person?
So that's what the note in the box meant?
Lorne sorted out his thoughts.
……
"It's strange that they left together." Looking at the two leaving together, Lorne was a little confused. He quietly followed behind them, while also pondering their relationship.
Could he be Melissa's family member, her brother?
Thinking about it that way, he and Melissa do look somewhat alike.
Following the two, they arrived at a house, and Lorne hid in a side alley.
"Melissa doesn't possess any unusual spirituality; she's probably just an ordinary person."
What should we do now...?
The look I just saw indicated that they had already discovered my presence in this neighborhood… Lorne pondered his next move.
"Reporting it directly won't work either, I have no evidence, and I also acted strangely that day..."
"If things go wrong, I might get caught by the authorities myself."
After a moment of silence, Lorne gritted his teeth and made a decision.
"Oh well, I've already been noticed. If that voyeur's gaze comes over again, I won't be able to escape it."
"Why not go all the way and finish this..."
"Peeping? Anyone can do that!"
With that in mind, Lorne went to a nearby sporting goods store and spent several pounds to buy a fine telescope.
He then found a suitable corner near the house and began to observe the residence with his binoculars.
"If he recognizes me, there's no way he won't make a move. As long as we find some substantial anomalies, we'll have evidence."
With that thought in mind, Lorne picked up his binoculars and began observing the windows of the house across the street.
"I feel like I'm being spied on."
"No, even though it's for my own sake, the other party is also a suspicious individual."
"Besides, you were the ones who started spying..."
Lorne shook his head, dismissing some of the inappropriate thoughts.
……
After spending quite a while coaxing his sister to calm down, Klein returned to his room, feeling somewhat exhausted.
"Ugh!"
He was somewhat uneasy.
"The person I met today was definitely not right."
I didn't go looking for him, but he's already found his family.
Thinking of this, Klein clenched his fists, intending to go above the gray fog to perform another divination.
Perhaps because he was in such a hurry, he forgot to draw the curtains.
……
"There's a reaction! There's a reaction!" Lorne looked at the scene through the binoculars with excitement; the other party had finally given themselves away.
"Is it walking backwards?" He looked at the image through the binoculars with some confusion.
"Strange, why isn't it moving?"
……
Above the gray fog, wearing sunglasses, the Fool Klein pondered his next move.
After a moment's thought, he made up his mind and began the divination.
"Even for Melissa and Benson's sake, I need to know that person's purpose."
Before long, a scene appeared before him.
"No flash this time?" Klein was somewhat surprised, no longer getting his face flashed.
"Why is he holding a telescope?" He wondered, looking at the young man's actions in the video.
Strange, what is he looking at? Why is he so engrossed?
And why does the environment in this scene look so familiar?
"Wait, this seems to be near my house!" Klein suddenly realized something.
Looking forward in the scene, following Lorne's gaze...
"He's actually watching my house!"
……
"Damn it, that peeping gaze is back again..."
"Have we been discovered?"
Noticing that familiar gaze, Lorne quickly put away his binoculars.
That person shouldn't have noticed me, right?
Or is it all an act, a ploy to lure me in?
Suspecting he was being watched again by some unknown, voyeuristic entity, Lorne had no choice but to abandon the surveillance and quickly leave Narcissus Street.
"Huff, huff, huff..."
"I noticed something was wrong with him the moment I saw him..."
Although there is no concrete evidence, it is certain that the person is connected to the hidden entity.
"We must find evidence to report him as soon as possible."
……
"The video feed cut out?"
Klein was somewhat lost in thought when the divination image disappeared.
After descending from the gray fog, he went straight to the alley where Lorne had been.
Seeing that no one was there, Klein felt a pang of panic.
Could it be that person has discovered the Fool's true identity?
"That's why they're investigating me..."
Could they be from another church?
I was spotted even though I walked four steps backwards.
That's not right. He shouldn't be able to connect what happened above the gray fog to me.
He couldn't possibly realize that I'm a fool.
Or is it because of what happened at the fortune-telling club last time?
Countless questions weighed on Klein's mind, making it hard for him to breathe.
……
Yesterday's events were too bizarre.
So much so that Klein was somewhat absent-minded when he went to work the next day.
"Klein, what's wrong?" Old Neil asked with concern when he noticed that Klein was not in a good mood.
"No, no, it's nothing, I'm just a little tired."
Old Neil didn't say much, only reminding him, "Make sure you get plenty of rest."
He then took the initiative to start a conversation, saying:
"Is Dunn planning to leave for a while?"
"Huh?" Klein was somewhat surprised.
"It's said that there was some disagreement between Dunn and Daly..."
"Disagreement?"
"Dunner wanted Daly to go to the capital, Backlund, where there were broader prospects and it was more suitable for Daly, who was a genius."
Daly, on the other hand, wanted to stay in Tingen with Dunn, and neither of them could convince the other.
"We even had an argument about it."
Are they both thinking of each other...? Klein gained a new understanding of the relationship between the two.
"They eventually chose a compromise."
"A compromise?" Klein asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Yes, that's right. Backlund recently had a special operation that required temporarily recruiting some people from squads in various locations."
"Daly signed up, and Dunn decided to go with her. They plan to take this opportunity to visit Backlund first, and then make future plans."
"A very reasonable plan." Klein nodded upon hearing this; the captain's arrangement was indeed very reasonable.
Shortly afterward, Dunn gathered everyone to announce the decision and appointed Frye as acting captain.
……
"Klein, stay here for a moment." Just after the decision was announced and everyone was leaving, Dunn suddenly called out to Klein.
"What's wrong, Captain?"
Klein had a vague sense of unease.
Dunn glanced at him and slowly said, "The people from the Holy See have arrived."
What?! The people who are investigating me have arrived!
In the past, he would have been a little nervous at most, but after what happened yesterday...
