905 Psychological Blind Spo (2/2)
The man retracted his gaze before his body burst into white radiant flames.
Following that, he transformed into a gigantic flaming spear and shot towards the region where Halman Harbor was.
The flaming spear quickly disappeared into the distance, leaving a twinkling speck.
During this entire process, apart from at the very beginning, the demigod didn't take a second look at the surroundings tourists. It was as though they never existed.
A simple but smart ruse… By getting someone to disguise as himself and board the ship, then using certain means to control the weather; thus, creating proof that he's on the ship, but in actual fact, he had been at the harbor the entire time. Once the enemy starts the pursuit, he can then attempt to escape… Enlightened, Klein made a judgment.
This made him suspect if the pursuee was once a Conspirer, Magician, or other Beyonder that was good at coming up with ruses.
As for the person who transformed into a burning-white spear, his arrogance, detestable nature, and his usage of the Intis language had made Klein believe that he was probably a demigod from the Hunter pathway. It was possible that he was an Iron-blooded Knight.
I've no idea why there was a conflict… Klein shook his head and returned to his cabin.
On the deck, the tourists finally snapped to their senses as they discussed the supernatural phenomenon they had just seen in murmurs.
A person could transform into a flame, and the flame could reform into a human!
Amidst the noisy commotion, the liner continued cruising forward on the safe sea route. It didn't encounter any accidents midway, and it arrived at another harbor at midnight.
Like usual, Klein didn't alight, afraid that he would encounter something.
He took out his gold pocket watch and opened it to determine the time to head to the restaurant.
Another half an hour… Klein silently muttered to himself as he looked up and out the window.
At this moment, many tourists who were bound for this harbor were heading for the dock along the gangway with their luggage in hand.
As he swept his gaze, Klein's gaze suddenly stopped on a figure.
The figure wore a black bonnet. He had dark golden sideburns. His lips were tightly pursed and his facial features were clear and distinct, like an ancient, classical sculpture without any wrinkles.
He wasn't carrying any luggage, and soon, he stepped onto the dock with the crowd, disappearing into the corner of the road.
Klein just watched motionlessly, as though his body wasn't his.
He felt every drop of his blood turn cold as a name appeared in his mind: Ince Zangwill!
…
The street lamps on the harbor had already lit up. The liner's many windows also lit up in concert with them.
Dwayne Dantès was waiting inside a first-class cabin in darkness and silence.
Klein had already sat down without showing any emotion. All kinds of thoughts couldn't help but flash across his mind.
This is the first time I'm discovering signs of Ince Zangwill after the Great Smog of Backlund…
The demigod from before was probably tracking Ince Zangwill…
His tricks are more profound than I thought. He found someone to disguise as him and gave him items not to divert his trackers, but to create a mental blindspot. It made one subconsciously eliminate this ship from the possible options…
He was here from the beginning…
That coincidental change in weather was likely created by Ince Zangwill with 0-08…
Why would he be pursued by an Intis Hunter demigod… What is he plotting…
Amidst his churning thoughts, Klein suddenly took out the adventurer's harmonica and blew it.
Silently, Miss Messenger Reinette Tinekerr with her four blonde, red-eyed heads in hand appeared before him.
Klein opened his mouth before closing them again. Picking up a pen, he quickly wrote:
”Mr. Dwayne Dantès has discovered traces of Ince Zangwill on Waypoint Island in the Berserk Sea.”
Folding the letter, Klein handed it along with a gold coin to Miss Messenger.
”Send it to the mailbox at Backlund's 7 Pinster Street.”
The four heads in Reinette Tinekerr's hand turned at the same time as the eight eyes looked at Klein.
She didn't say anything and bit onto the letter and gold coin.
