“There is the presence of supernatural factors...” Klein’s eyes returned to normal, and he looked at Leonard and Frye.
Leonard suddenly chuckled.
“Very professional, and deserving of the title of Seer.”
Are you trying to hint at something... Klein muttered in his head.
Frye opened his suitcase and took out a silver knife and other tools. He paused and asked, “The corpse tells me that she really died of a sudden heart attack. Do you have any way to divine a more detailed answer?”
Klein nodded seriously and said, “I can attempt to combine a mediumship ritual and a dream divination. Hopefully, I’ll be able to obtain something from Mrs. Lauwis’s remaining spirituality.”
Frye maintained his cold and reserved state. He took two steps back and said, “Give it a try.”
He turned his head sideways and looked at Klein. He suddenly sighed without much fluctuation in his tone. “You’re getting more and more used to this kind of situation.”
It’s not like I wanted it... Klein had an urge to cry. He then took out the bottles of pure dew, essential oils, and herbal powder. Then, he quickly set up the mediumship ritual.
He chanted the honored titles of the Evernight Goddess in the middle of the spirituality wall and recited his prayers in Hermes.
Soon, wind spun around him and the light grew dimmer.
Klein’s eyes turned entirely black, and he repeated the divination statement, “The cause of Mrs. Lauwis’s death.
“The cause of Mrs. Lauwis’s death.”
...
He entered the dreamland whilst standing and ‘saw’ a translucent spirit lingering around the corpse.
Then, he extended his illusory right hand to touch Mrs. Lauwis’s remaining spirituality.
In an instance, light burst out in front of him as scenes flashed past, one after another.
There was a skinny and sallow lady dressed in ragged clothes, busily making matchboxes.
She suddenly paused and held her chest.
She was speaking to her two children.
Her body wavered as she gasped for air.
She was buying black bread when someone suddenly patted her.
She was having the symptoms of a heart attack again and again.
She was feeling weary and got into bed, but she never woke up ever again.
Klein observed every single detail, intending to look for a trace of the supernatural factor. But when everything ended, he still hadn’t gained any clues. As the blurriness shattered, Klein left the dreamland and returned to reality.
He dispelled the wall of spirituality and said to the waiting Frye and amused Leonard,
“There were no direct symptoms. Most of the scenes revealed that Mrs. Lauwis had a heart ailment a long time ago. The only scene that was different was when Mrs. Lauwis was patted on the back by someone. The hand was fair and slender, apparently a woman’s.”
“For such a family, they wouldn’t go to a doctor unless they’re very, very sick. Even if they were to queue at a free charity hospital, time is not something they can afford to lose. A day without work might mean no food on the table the next day.” Leonard sighed emotionally like a poet.
