Mysterious: The Innate Sacred Body of Destiny

Chapter 54 Unexpected Chase

"The divination failed."

"Is it because there are too few clues, or...?"

This result wasn't exactly beyond Klein's expectations, but he was still somewhat surprised when it actually happened.

He then performed several more divinations and gradually discovered some clues.

"The fact that a divination would fail directly on him indicates a problem."

"That Lorne is definitely not simple."

……

"Ah... I yawn..."

Why do I feel like someone's talking about me?

Lorne rubbed his slightly sore nose.

However, he didn't have time to think about these things at the moment, because he realized that he was being followed.

"Damn it..." He glanced at the crowd behind him out of the corner of his eye. To be honest, the other party's tracking skills were quite good. If he didn't have an extraordinary spiritual intuition, he wouldn't have realized that he was being followed at all.

"Damn it, who is it?" Lorne wasn't walking fast; to outsiders, it looked like he was just strolling around.

He hadn't planned to go out today and intended to stay in the small hotel.

Unfortunately, his food and other daily necessities were all consumed.

The little-known hotel didn't offer room service. Left with no other option, he had to go out and buy supplies.

But when he got off the carriage and saw his surroundings, he was completely stunned.

"I meant I wanted to go to a smaller, more remote market, but somehow they sent me back to the vicinity of the Azure Hotel. I had just left from there."

"While the Azure Hotel is indeed in a remote location, this is just too..."

Ultimately, adhering to the principle that since they were already there, Lorne reluctantly chose to purchase the goods locally.

However, he had only taken a few steps when he sensed something was wrong.

……

Black hair, green eyes, and that unreliable aura.

That figure, without a doubt, was the policeman.

After observing for a period of time, Lorne finally discovered who was following him.

"Why him again?"

Including today, this is the third time I've run into them.

The first time was at a restaurant, when the two didn't know each other.

The second time was that night, when he inexplicably ran away as soon as he saw his own face.

This is the third time, and he's been directly following me.

In fact, Leonard's approach to Lorne was somewhat accidental. He conducted some investigations specifically to clear Klein's name.

Through studying Klein's movements, along with divination and the help of someone, Leonard successfully found a piece of information.

"Azure Hotel"

He discovered that Klein had visited a hotel called the Azure Hotel before Old Neil's accident.

His intuition told him there must be some clue there.

Moreover, although he shouldn't doubt his companion, Leonard was somewhat curious about Klein, who, like himself, carried secrets.

The investigation went smoothly. Using his police identity, he easily learned from the hotel reception that Klein had gone to investigate a man named Lorne Disenke that day.

The receptionist even gave a special description of what Lorne looked like.

Upon hearing the other party's description, Leonard, who had been quite calm, was suddenly stunned.

"Isn't that the one I met that night..."

Leonard instantly recalled his disgraceful experience that night.

"Old man, what do you think? Is it the same person from that night?"

A few seconds later, Pales inside Leonard's body replied, "Possibly."

"Possibly..." Leonard pondered the word.

"That person must have some secret," he thought as he walked away from the Azure Hotel, focusing all his attention on thinking.

"Feed".

"Hey, hey."

Palez's voice echoed in Leonard's mind.

"Old man, don't disturb me, I'm thinking." Leonard, who was deep in thought, was interrupted and looked somewhat displeased.

"Hey, look ahead."

"Front?"

Upon hearing this, Leonard slowly looked up and noticed Lorne strolling down the street.

"What...what a coincidence?" I was just thinking about the other person in my mind when they appeared right in front of me the next second.

Leonard was somewhat incredulous.

"Indeed, it's quite a coincidence," Pales said.

"Old man, what should we do?" Leonard was unsure of what to do.

"Let's follow them and see."

……

"Why is it that policeman again!"

"It's like a persistent ghost."

"Last time it clearly ran away on its own, but now it's following me on its own."

When Lorne first discovered him, he thought it was just a coincidence, but now the other person has been following him all the way.

If it were really just a coincidence, Lorne would never believe it.

"But how did he know I was here?"

"Could it be that I'm actually being monitored?"

"That shouldn't be the case!"

"My spiritual intuition didn't respond, and there was no warning from fate."

"Besides, I haven't done anything wrong, so why are you following me?"

"Could it be about the whistleblower letter...?"

"Did he find out that I wrote the letter?"

After much thought, Lorne realized that the reason the person was following him might be related to the whistleblower letter.

However, if the other party is only coming to him because of the whistleblower letter, Lorne is not afraid.

The letter was full of truth; there were indeed traces of dark magic rituals in that strange house, and the man named Klein did indeed harbor secrets. He had only encountered those things by chance, a series of coincidences.

"It's not good to have him following me around all the time."

"Why don't I explain to him? I didn't do anything wrong anyway." With that thought, Lorne slowed down.

Before he could completely stop, a sense of oppression swept over his entire body, causing him to freeze for a moment.

"My spiritual intuition has been triggered? No, that's not right, it's a warning!"

"That person has a serious problem!"

Realizing something was wrong, Lorne started walking again, trying to widen the distance between himself and Leonard.

"What should we do? If we keep dragging this on, something bad will happen. We have no choice but to get rid of him."

He stomped his right foot hard, the heel of his leather shoe scraping against the ground, and suddenly darted into the surrounding crowd.

"We've been discovered." Seeing Lorne's actions, Leonard knew he had been exposed and quickly followed after him.

"They've caught up!"

Hearing footsteps behind him, Lorne immediately changed direction, turning right and rushing into a dark alley next to a tavern.

The place was piled with all sorts of bottles and jars, perfect for getting rid of the other person. Without hesitation, he sped up and rushed in.

He wanted to use the "machine's" physical abilities and the complex terrain to shake off his opponent.

Huff... huff...

After running for a while, hearing the footsteps behind him, Lorne knew that his wishful thinking had failed.

The opponent's physical fitness was much better than he had imagined.

"Is he an extraordinary being?"

Lorne changed direction and ran into another alley.

But this time he stopped abruptly after taking only two steps—the alley was a dead end.

"Oh no!"

"Why is it this cliché plot again, running away to a dead end or something..."

"It's too late to back out now."

Lorne's brain was working at lightning speed.

Thanks to his "machine" intuition, Lorne subconsciously looked up and caught a glimpse of a small crack in the wall a few meters above the ground—a construction gap left by the mismatch in the building eras on both sides.

Without hesitation, he climbed straight up.

……

"It's just ahead."

Leonard slowed his pace, pulled a pistol from his armpit holster, gripped it with both hands, and slowly made his way to the alleyway.

He moved very lightly, afraid of being ambushed.

"Don't move!" Leonard suddenly pulled and rushed inside.

"Strange, where is everyone?"

He was somewhat surprised to see the empty alley.

"I clearly saw him run in, how did he disappear?"

"This is a dead end..."

Could it be an extraordinary ability...?

"Old man, what do you think?" Leonard asked in his mind.

But strangely, his roommate did not react at all.

"An old man?"

Just as he was pondering, a fierce glint appeared in Lorne's eyes, who was hiding in the gap above.

He is now stuck in the gap, supported only by the strength of his limbs.

Moreover, due to the limited space, his limbs were slightly curled up, and he was completely unable to exert his strength, so he couldn't hold on for very long.

The travel guide says that if you encounter government officials, you should use a pistol to protect yourself.

"If you don't leave, don't blame me!"

Lorne braced himself against the wall with one hand, gritted his teeth, and used his other hand to pull a pistol from his holster, pointing it at Leonard.

"You asked for it."
