"Huh?" Valeela showed just the right amount of confusion, "I'm sorry, I didn't quite understand what you meant?"
"Are you talking about the bounty hunter who appeared in the newspapers several times in the first half of the year?"
She suppressed the huge earthquake like a landslide and tsunami in her heart, and tried to test it by replying as if nothing had happened. Even the frequency of her heartbeat did not change.
The "Happy" Witch's precise control of her body condition made her performance flawless.
A "clown" can barely perform a performance like this, but the principles of the two are different.
"Clown" directly changes the exposed movements and demeanor, and is a performance from the outside in;
The "Happy" Witch is just the opposite. The first thing she changes is the physiological reaction in her body, and then she naturally displays "real" movements from the inside out.
Associate Professor Barak's feeding movement was not interrupted by Valeela's reaction.
He put two pieces of pan-fried foie gras with apple slices on his plate and explained in a low voice as if talking to himself.
"I have a very good memory and can clearly remember Lexa's appearance."
At this point, he laughed "haha" and continued: "I found that you and the bounty hunter have a similar facial shape and facial features, so I guessed that you are somewhat related by blood. I am so presumptuous. Just ask."
"I'm sorry if I bothered you."
He has a good memory...is he a "reader", a "generalist", or some other sequence?
Valeera keenly grasped the key words in Associate Professor Barak's words and guessed that he was an Extraordinary of a certain path.
While thinking about it, she replied calmly:
"I think you have the wrong person, Mr. Barrack."
"My knowledge of the bounty hunter is limited to what's in the newspaper. I'm sorry that I couldn't help you."
She restrained her curiosity and did not ask Associate Professor Barak's purpose.
"Oh, okay."
Associate Professor Barak didn't say anything more, sighed softly, shook his head and passed her by, walking away step by step.
During the brief conversation, Valeela relied on the ability of the "instigator" to sense the evil desires in the other party's heart.
Yes, but not much.
When he mentioned Lexa, Associate Professor Barak only had a little seed of greed in his heart. It wasn't even greed, it was closer to "enjoyment".
So, I have what Associate Professor Barak wants? While Valeela was eating gracefully with her plate, she began to think back and analyze what might be the thing about herself that attracted this gentleman.
Not counting today, she only met this gentleman once, and that was at the afternoon tea party hosted by Roger.
At that time, she had just been promoted to "Instigator" and she had few valuable items on her body, probably only three items: the "Prisoner's Ring", the "Bottom Line" pocket watch, and the folding knife.
Among them, the "Prisoner's Ring" can basically be excluded.
Thinking back to the beginning, Qili didn't notice anything special about the "Prisoner's Ring" during her personal inspection. She didn't think that Associate Professor Barak could do it.
When she thought of Qili, Valeera felt her heart begin to throb again.
She had no choice but to divert her attention and continue to consider the "bottom line" pocket watch or folding knife, which one was more likely.
Suddenly, Valeera had a flash of inspiration and felt that she had found the truth.
Associate Professor Barak just mentioned that he has a very good memory!
So, Associate Professor Barak is actually a Sequence 9 "reader". Because of the Law of Extraordinary Characteristic Aggregation, or some other reasons, he discovered that the pocket watch Lexa was wearing was a magical item corresponding to the "reasoning student"?

This makes sense!
Moreover, in this way, Associate Professor Barak's abnormal mood of being obsessed with the bounty hunter Lexa also has a reasonable explanation.
After all, this is an opportunity for promotion, and no extraordinary person would be willing to give it up.
If this is the case... it means that Associate Professor Barak has at least mastered the potion formula for "readers" and "reasoning students".
After Valeela thought about it, she thought she could try to contact the associate professor once, and it would be best to reach a deal and obtain the potion formula he mastered.
In order to prepare in advance for the promotion ceremony of the "Iron-Blooded Knight", she has extensive needs for low-sequence potion formulas.
After a small unexpected episode, the dance came to an end smoothly.
Valila also said goodbye to Associate Professor Barak and his wife at the right time and took the car home.
…
Thursday, July 5th.
Valeela received a reply from Klein, or to be more precise, Zhou Mingrui, who had just accepted Klein's identity.
"Dear Valeera:"
"I hope you feel happy when you read this letter."
"When you wrote, I happened to encounter a very troublesome matter, so I couldn't reply to you immediately."
"Do you still remember the divination you did for me the night before we parted? Ha, what I want to say is that it was quite accurate. I did fail in the interview at Tingen University, or to be more precise, I gave up. Got the interview.”
"The reason for giving up is that I found another better job ahead of time."
"A security company whose mission is to find, collect and protect antiquities, they invited me to take up the position of a professional consultant, with a five-year contract and a salary of 3 pounds per week."
"You know, I prefer exploring and uncovering history rather than reflecting on and learning history. This job is more in line with my heart."
"The official onboarding date is Monday, which is tomorrow, July 2."
"So today I have a lot of time to write a reply."
"Let's talk about that troublesome thing first. Welch and Naya were killed. Because I had been in frequent contact with them recently, I was investigated. Fortunately, the wise police officers quickly eliminated my suspicion."
"What I really want to say is actually the second thing. I have become interested in divination. I want to learn and master divination and learn more about occult knowledge. I wonder if you can teach me some techniques?"
"By the way, Melissa and Benson are very happy to see your letter, and so am I."
"We all hope that you can live happily and smoothly in Backlund - Klein."
After reading, Valeera put down the letter and leaned back on the soft sofa.
This is really a very strange feeling, somewhat similar to the mood she had when she wrote the letter before, but also somewhat different.
Two strangers who have no feelings, but write letters to each other with words that imply affection...
Filtering out the clichés, Valeera easily discovered the true intention of Klein's reply——
Test her knowledge of the occult and seek occult knowledge.
It seems that it was his ability in divination and medicine that he showed at the beginning, which made Klein, who had just come into contact with the extraordinary world, have some doubts.
So, how much disclosure should be made?
Valeela tapped the armrest of the single sofa, thinking about this problem.
