Lord of the Mysteries
Chapter 45
The Antigonus notebook is in the apartment across the kidnappers’!
Although it was very coincidental, Klein believed that his intuition was correct.
He immediately got out of bed and rapidly changed out of the old clothes he usually wore to bed. He picked up a white shirt beside him and draped it on, quickly buttoning from top to bottom.
One, two, three… He suddenly realized that he was “missing” buttons. The left and right sides did not seem to match.
On careful look, Klein realized that he had made a mistake buttoning the first button, causing the shirt to warp.
He shook his head helplessly before taking a deep breath and slowly breathing out, using some of his Cogitation techniques to restore his calm.
After putting on his white shirt and black trousers, he barely managed to wear his armpit holster steadily. He pulled out the revolver he hid under his soft pillow and holstered it.
Without time to tie a bow tie, he draped his formal suit on and with a hat and cane in each hand, he walked to the door. After putting on his halved top hat, Klein gently twisted the door handle and walked into the corridor.
He carefully closed his bedroom’s wooden door and sneaked downstairs like a thief. He used a fountain pen and paper in the living room to leave a note, informing his siblings that he had forgotten to mention that he had to be early for work today.
The moment he was out the door, Klein felt a cool breeze and his entire being calmed down.
The street in front of him was dark and silent without any pedestrians. Only the gas lamps illuminated the streets.
Klein took out his pocket watch from his pocket and snapped it open. It was just six in the morning and the crimson moonlight had not completely faded away. However, there was a hue of sunrise over the horizon.
He was just about to seek out an expensive for-hire carriage when he saw a two-horse, four-wheeled trackless carriage approaching him.
“There are public carriages this early in the morning?” Klein was puzzled as he went forward and waved for it to stop.
“Good morning, Sir.” The carriage driver stopped the horses skillfully.
The ticketing officer beside him had his hand to his mouth while yawning.
“To Zouteland Street.” Klein scooped out two pennies from his pocket and four halfpence.
“Four pence,” the ticketing officer replied without any hesitation.
After paying for the ride, Klein got onto the carriage and found it empty. It exuded a clear loneliness amid the dark night.
“You are the first one,” said the carriage driver with a smile.
