Chapter 37, 8 hexagrams
This gathering has now come to an end.
With Klein's command, the Tarot gathering came to a close.
"Justice" Audrey and "The Hanged Man" Alger nodded to each other and said goodbye.
……
Back to reality, Klein let out a long sigh of relief. Playing a secretive role as a newly minted "fortune teller" was more exhausting than he had imagined.
Being the leader of a secret organization isn't easy... Klein chuckled self-deprecatingly.
He instinctively tried to take off his glasses but found that there was nothing on the bridge of his nose.
"Forgot that the sunglasses appeared from the fog."
Speaking of which, should I buy a pair of sunglasses too...? Klein had this idea when he recalled his experience at the fortune-telling club.
Fortune-telling clubs, sigh!
The thought of this place filled him with bitterness.
Even though several days have passed, the experience of that day remains vivid in his memory. Even considering his experiences before his transmigration, he has never encountered such an embarrassing situation in his decades of life.
But, to digest the potion, I'll still have to go to the fortune-telling club... Klein had a bit of a headache.
If he could, he wouldn't want to go to that place that caused him so much pain.
Humans are forgetful creatures. If I dress up a bit, no one should recognize me, right...? Klein thought uncertainly.
"And that man I met at the fortune teller's club..."
Klein subconsciously rubbed his eyes at the thought of him.
"I glanced at him with my spiritual vision, and then something unusual happened."
"The same goes for divination on the gray fog. Not only did it not yield any results, but it also... In short, that person definitely has a problem."
"He is definitely an extraordinary being, but the specific path and sequence are not very clear."
"Should we talk to the captain and the others about this...?"
After a moment's thought...
"Never mind, the matter of the gray fog is also my secret."
"It's best not to create unnecessary complications before everything is clearly confirmed."
"Melissa shouldn't be back by now." Klein estimated the time and planned to make arrangements for this day off.
"Today is a rare day off, so I'll take a shower and sleep for a while. I can make dinner when I wake up."
This is Narcissus Street, their new house, and the environment is much better than their old Iron Cross Street.
After quickly tidying up, he picked up his change of clothes and headed to the bathroom.
Before long, looking at the water mist gradually spreading around him, Klein suddenly had the urge to put on a pair of sunglasses again.
……
Blackthorn Security Company.
The gossip about Dunn and Daly has spread throughout the entire company at lightning speed.
Only Klein, who was on vacation yesterday, was still in a state of complete ignorance.
He pushed open the company door as usual.
"Why does the atmosphere at the company feel so strange today?" Klein wondered.
Rosanne saw Klein and greeted him, but she seemed unable to contain her desire to share, saying to Klein, "Klein, do you know what happened yesterday?"
"Yesterday? I don't know, it was my day off yesterday." Klein shook his head.
"That's a big deal!" Rosanne exclaimed excitedly.
"So what is it?" His curiosity was piqued by Rosanne's expression.
"Listen to me, yesterday the captain and Ms. Daly were in the captain's office..."
"Ah, really?" Klein was a little incredulous. Although it was obvious to anyone that there was an ambiguous relationship between the captain and Ms. Daly, the fact that things had progressed so quickly was still beyond his expectations.
It felt like something was caught off guard.
"Of course, Leonard saw it with his own eyes, and they were together intimately today." Seeing that Klein doubted her, Rosanne also produced various pieces of evidence to prove her point.
After chatting with Rosanne for a few minutes, he walked towards the company's interior. After a few steps, he saw Leonard, Luo Yao, Old Neil, and Cohen Li chatting together.
"Klein, you're here." Cohen Lee was the first to notice Klein and greeted him.
"Hmm," Klein nodded, then asked in confusion, "What are you talking about that makes you seem so happy?"
"Um, Klein, do you know about that?" Leonard asked.
"What is it?"
"It belongs to the captain and Ms. Daly," Luo Yao chimed in from the side.
"Oh, I know, Rosanne just told me."
"We were talking about what names they should give their kids," Leonard said jokingly.
Ah! Isn't this topic jumping a bit too fast? They're not even sure about their relationship yet... Klein was a little taken aback.
"Mr. Neil, what do you think?" He looked up at the eldest Neil.
"I think Kevin Smith is a good name," Old Neil said, surprising everyone.
Uh… he suddenly forgot that Old Neil was a bit of a rascal, Klein looked down and rubbed his forehead.
"I realized a long time ago that they were interested in each other."
"And yet they've only made progress now," Old Neil said, sounding utterly disappointed.
"Why don't we guess who made the first move?" Klein suggested, intrigued.
"I bet it's Ms. Daly. The captain's serious demeanor is just..." Leonard started to speak, but before he could finish, he heard...
"Leonard, guess what I'm saying?"
A woman's voice, clearly in a good mood, came through the phone.
Leonard stiffly turned his head and saw Dunn, whose happiness was mixed with a little helplessness, and Daly, who was holding Dunn's arm and smiling broadly.
"Ahem!"
Seemingly sensing his teammates' gazes, Dunn became unusually embarrassed and could only cover up his awkwardness with a cough.
In stark contrast, Daly had a broad smile on her face.
"As you can see, I've dragged your captain off to be my fiancé."
"Fiancé..." Seemingly startled by the title, Dunn could only force himself to remain calm and say:
"In short, as you can see, I am dating Daly."
"I don't think this will affect my working relationship with everyone."
Dai Li, still smiling, said, "Let's all go out for lunch later, it's on me."
……
Fortune-telling club.
"The Hornatches Mountains?"
"Um, are you sure you didn't misspoke, Mr. Grassis?" Upon hearing this word, Hui Lorne's expression visibly became somewhat unnatural.
Since it was a bit strange to ask about Lanius directly, Lorne didn't feel comfortable admitting that he had overheard the conversation.
Because this was a fortune-telling club, he naturally started a conversation with the other person about fortune-telling.
Unexpectedly, the other party was a member of the club.
After a few words, he successfully steered the conversation naturally towards luck and fortune through the divination questions.
Afterwards, Mr. Grassis enthusiastically shared his investment plan with Lorne.
The general situation is that Lanius discovered a rich iron ore deposit in the Hornach Mountains. After purchasing it, he raised funds from the public through stocks due to a lack of follow-up funds.
After listening to the other person's description, Lorne lowered his head and pondered.
Is this the mine owner, Lanluus, mentioned in the time travel guide?
And Hornachis… Lorne remembered the vocabulary he had deciphered in that notebook before.
Is that really such a coincidence?
Is this fate?
