Chapter 106 I am the Protagonist of the Times

Chapter 106 I am the Protagonist of the Times

Klein looked at Eve carefully. It was his first time seeing Eve's clone and he felt it was a bit strange.

Her eyes were very lively, and her movements and expressions were the same as usual. If you didn't know, it would be hard to imagine that the blonde woman in front of you was not a real person.

After looking for two seconds, Klein withdrew his gaze.

"How do you get along with Melissa?" Klein took the opportunity to ask since they happened to meet. Melissa rarely mentioned school matters at home.

"Don't worry," Eve stretched out her right hand and made an "OK" gesture, then patted her left shoulder proudly and said, "The progress is stable and we are moving forward steadily."

Klein nodded. He was still very confident in his sister on this matter. Although she was a little off-key at ordinary times, she was still very reliable when it came to important matters.

But I...

Klein lowered his head and looked at the road in front of him. He felt confused and annoyed.

The Joker potion can be digested within two months, so what should be done after that? Apply to become a red glove and leave, or wait for Benson to pass the civil service exam in half a year before leaving?

Klein was always unable to face this matter rationally and calmly.

Klein sketched out balls of light in his mind and used meditation to regain his sanity and calmness. He turned his head and looked at Eve for a long time, then retracted his gaze and said casually, "I need to go to the Blackthorn Security Company. See you tonight."

Eve smiled and said, "Okay, go get the hundred pounds by the way."

Hearing this, Klein suddenly felt a little pain in his heart. Although he knew that he could get the hundred pounds back, he still felt a little distressed to lose a hundred pounds at once.

He gripped his cane tightly, not thinking about the hundred pounds he was about to lose, and turned and left.

After the two separated, Eve took back her clone.

…

After arriving at the Blackthorn Security Company, Klein described the matter of Admisoel in detail, but omitted the part about Eve and replaced it with a woman at the extraordinary gathering.

After finishing the report, Klein adjusted his hat and walked towards the door of Blackthorn Security Company.

"Hey, good afternoon, Klein, Roxanne."

The midnight poet with black hair and green eyes still looked like a playboy, with the romantic aura of a poet. His black coat was only buttoned at two places, and the hem of his shirt was only half tucked in, with the other half loosely exposed.

Leonard said to Klein with a bit of pride on his face, "I'm going to apply for a promotion, a special promotion."

Mr. Poet, the one in front of you is a fortune teller who was promoted to Sequence 8 in just over half a month... Klein complained in his heart.

"Congratulations," Klein replied. "That's amazing."

Leonard was a little embarrassed, but still with a bit of pride, he lowered his head and whispered: "After all, we are the protagonists of the era."

Still so childish... Klein's mouth twitched... But the portable grandfather is indeed a classic protagonist template.

Leonard straightened up, scratched his head, and said in distress: "But after I get promoted, I will apply to become a red glove, and I will be separated from you."

Hmm?

Why did he suddenly become a red glove? And Leonard didn't look like he asked for it... Klein frowned and guessed the reason in his heart. It might be because of the angel in Leonard's body.

"Hey?" Luo Shan's gossipy little ears immediately received important information, "You're leaving!"

"Roxanne."

The captain's voice made Luo Shan shrink her head subconsciously, but then she realized that she had not done anything wrong and straightened her back again.

Dunn held the pipe in one hand, put it on the cabinet, and said seriously: "If Leonard can become a red glove, he will be better developed."

"I know," Luo Shan pursed her lips and said, "I just can't bear to leave Leonard."

"Red Gloves actually has plenty of time," Leonard touched the back of his head and consoled himself, "I will come back often.

The handsome green-eyed poet smiled and said, "Let's go to the restaurant the night before we leave. It's my treat."

Dunn said seriously, "The selection of the Red Gloves is very strict."

"I know." Leonard replied as usual, obviously not understanding what the captain meant.

Is he really an idiot... Klein complained in his mind... The captain meant for you to not take it lightly. You haven't passed the exam yet, poet classmate.

Dunn sighed and said nothing more, but asked Leonard to prepare well.

Because of this sudden incident, Klein stayed in the Blackthorn Security Company for a while, then sat in the lounge waiting for Leonard to confirm.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Why do you suddenly want to become a Red Glove?" After seeing Leonard, Klein pushed the coffee in front of him towards Leonard and asked.

There were only the two of them in the lounge, but Leonard still looked around. When he glanced left and right, Klein knew that he had guessed correctly.

Leonard leaned close to Klein and whispered, "It was the old man who asked me to apply to become a Red Glove. He said that Tingen is no longer habitable for him."

Uninhabitable?

Is it because my sister's real body came to Tingen? Or is it because of the reason behind the evil god's offspring incident?

Klein guessed in his heart that the previous meeting between his sister and the angel in Leonard's body should not be because of Him. Was it the high-level existence involved in the Evil God's Offspring incident? Klein didn't know the existence behind it, and he didn't even know how many high-level existences were involved. The real Creator, his sister, the angel in Leonard's body, and the high-sequence audience could be counted...

But the Evil God's Offspring incident was over. Would those high-ranking beings still keep an eye on Tingen?

Klein fumbled with his cane with his fingers, frowning in thought. He still knew too little information.

Leonard looked at Klein who had suddenly gone silent, ruffled his messy half-long hair, and asked in a low voice: "Klein, what is your relationship with that being?"

Klein was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. His lips moved a few times, and finally he said, "I am His Favored One."

This was the only excuse Klein could think of in a few seconds.

Leonard's expression suddenly became strange. "Klein, the old man said that being's attention to you far exceeds that of the Favored Ones..."

"Perhaps He just cares about His followers." Klein explained reluctantly.

"No, no, no," Leonard waved his hands repeatedly, "He had another Follower before you, but He paid far less attention to that Follower than you do."

"Maybe it's because I'm special." Klein immediately explained. Even if God came today, I would still be Eve's favorite, unless it was a goddess who came.

Leonard looked Klein up and down and asked in confusion, "What's so special about you?"

Klein was silent for a second. He pressed his upper teeth against his back molars and managed to squeeze out a few syllables. "I am the protagonist of this era. How am I not special?"

　About additional chapters: additional chapters will definitely be added, not only the 102nd chapter, but also the cover chapter, but I'm quite busy recently, so I'll update on Friday and Saturday.

　　About updates: I'll start updating steadily next month, and if I can't update, I'll ask for leave and explain the reason, and I'll be a qualified author starting next month.

　　Second edit: I just saw a suggestion from a reader to modify the original text. Subscribed readers should delete the cache and download it again. I decided to try it tomorrow. If it works, I will change the chapter that was duplicated to Chapter 104

Chapter 107 Dream

Melissa frowned, took a step forward, and took the initiative to stand between Eve and Azik.

Here comes another one… Melissa thought gloomily in her heart…Sir, your pick-up method has been used by someone else.

Azik was stunned for a moment. Seeing that the girl who looked somewhat similar to Klein had a bit of vigilance in her eyes, he glanced at Eve again, then reacted and took a step back.

"I'm sorry," Azik said carefully, "I, um... I have some personal matters to discuss with Miss Eve."

"Why do you need to discuss personal matters with Teacher Eve?" Melissa asked with a frown, the vigilance in her eyes becoming more and more obvious.

"Melissa," Eve put her arm around Melissa's shoulders from behind and said, "I know this gentleman. He is a gentleman you can trust."

"Melissa?" Azik felt like he had heard this name before. He lowered his head and thought for two seconds before tentatively asking, "Melissa Moretti?"

Melissa frowned at Azik, and after searching her memory for a while, she was sure that she had never seen him before.

Azik smiled nonchalantly, with a hint of kindness in his smile, "I'm Azik Eggers, Klein's teacher."

Melissa suddenly realized and felt embarrassed. Her face was a little hot. She quietly took two steps back and revealed Eve behind her. "I'm sorry, Mr. Eggers, I thought..."

The girl didn't continue.

Azik did not take this matter to heart. Judging from the girl's skillful movements, it should not be the first time she did this. Eve was indeed too beautiful.

Melissa raised her eyes and glanced at Azik secretly.

Klein said that Mr. Azik was an excellent gentleman... Hmm... If it wasn't a flirtation, then what did it mean?

Did they really know each other before, but Teacher Eve just forgot?

As she pondered, Melissa looked at Azik with some sympathy.

"Is there anything I can do for you, Mr. Azik?" Eve asked.

The bronze-skinned man looked at Melissa in front of him, hesitated for two seconds and then said carefully: "It's not an important matter, but I have been having some strange dreams recently, and I want to ask Miss Eve to help interpret them."

He didn't know whether Melissa knew about those extraordinary things. If she didn't know, it must be that Klein concealed it intentionally. To be on the safe side, he concealed it.

"Dream interpretation?" Melissa looked at Eve suspiciously, with a hint of disbelief in her eyes.

I didn't expect that the two teachers, as high-level intellectuals, would actually believe in things like divination and dream interpretation… Melissa looked at the two of them with a strange look in her eyes, like a heartbroken old mother looking at her two excellent sons who had gone astray.

Melissa prefers mechanics and rationality to mystery.

"As for dream interpretation, Mr. Eggers would be better off finding a professional fortune teller." Although Melissa didn't really believe it, she still gave serious advice.

"Haha," Eve suddenly laughed, with a sly look in her eyes, "Yes, I just happen to know there is a fortune teller club in Tingen, there are many excellent fortune tellers there, maybe Mr. Azik can go and take a look."

It seems that Teacher Eve is really a fan of the mysticism... Melissa thought silently in her heart, and wrote down the "Fortune Teller Club" by the way.

"Thank you very much," Azik curled his lips and said in a steady voice, "If I have time, I will definitely go."

"But today I still hope that Miss Eve can interpret my dream. After all, that's why I'm here," Azik asked, "Does Miss Eve have time?"

"Of course," Eve turned to look at Melissa, "Would you like to join us, Melissa?"

Melissa refused without hesitation. She was not interested in these things. Rather than watching others interpret dreams, she would rather go to the store to buy some mechanical parts to make a doll. She had given Klein a doll before, but unfortunately he mistook it for a turtle. Perhaps it was really because of the material problem. She saved up her pocket money for two weeks and prepared to buy better materials to make another one for Klein.

Watching the two of them leave, Melissa suddenly worried whether Klein would be influenced by his teacher and fall in love with those weird things. Actually, it was okay if he fell in love with them, as long as he didn't do those dangerous rituals.

…

In the faculty office of Khoi University,

Azik placed a cup of lightly scented black tea next to Eve.

"Thanks."

Eve picked up the tea, blew on it twice, and then took a small sip.

Azik sat opposite Eve, carefully recalling the dream and considering his words.

It stands to reason that it is not surprising to have strange and unreasonable things appear in dreams, but Azik's dream was absurd but too clear, just like watching a drama. Moreover, this was not the first time. Azik was very sure that the lady in front of him must be related to his past.

"Ms. Eve, I'm sorry to bother you again," Azik took a deep breath in his heart and stared at Eve. "I invited you this time because I really hope that Miss Eve can help me interpret my dream."

"I dreamed of Miss Eve. Or rather, once again." Azik paused and observed Eve calmly, hoping to find a loophole from her expression or movements.

Eve showed a bit of surprise on her face and said with a smile: "Mr. Azik, dreaming about a lady many times will make that lady very distressed."

Azik still stared at Eve without looking away. He smiled and didn't care about this harmless joke. After all, he was no longer an innocent young man.

"Ms. Eve, you know that's not what I meant." Azik continued, "In my last dream, Miss Eve was a flower shop owner, but this time, Miss Eve has many identities: history teacher, makeup artist, and animal trainer. The history teacher appears the most in the scenes."

"It's hard for one person to have so many careers." Eve put down her teacup and answered seriously.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Yes, it's difficult for a person to have so many jobs." Azik pursed his lips tightly, moved his lips twice, and finally said: "But there are always some special people in the world."

Eve smiled and said, "Mr. Azik thinks I am a special person with special abilities?"

"It's just a guess."

Azik shook his head. He had no idea what Eve would do after being exposed.

"I do have some special abilities. In fact, there are many people in this world who have special abilities." Eve admitted frankly, "But I may know something about Mr. Azik's past. Well... the premise is that he is really Mr. Azik. I have seen someone who is exactly the same as Mr. Azik, but his name is not Azik Eggers, but Jon Aberk, a knight, and he has passed away a long time ago."

Azik was stunned, looked down at the table in front of him, and thought for a long time.

"Can you tell me Mr. Abercrombie's address?"

"I'm sorry," Eve shook her head, "He and I are just acquaintances. I don't know his address."

Azik said somewhat disappointedly that if they were just acquaintances, then he wouldn't be able to get more information about Jon Aberk from Eve.

"Where did Miss Eve meet Mr. Abercrombie?"

"Jianhai County."

Jianhai County...

Azik frowned. Jianhai County was far away from Tingen.

"I see," Azik said, "Thank you very much, Miss Eve."

"You're welcome," Eve stood up and said to Azik, "I wish you can find your past soon."

"Thanks."

(End of this chapter)Chapter 108 When Will We Separate

Chapter 108 When Will We Separate

Klein leaned back, resting his head on the back of the chair, and pinched his brows in distress.

Then he suddenly sat up straight, stood up, took the newspaper from the living room, and walked to the bathroom.

After arriving at the bathroom, Klein locked the door, closed the toilet lid, placed the newspaper on the toilet, walked four steps backwards, and silently said in his heart:

"Blessings to the Immortal Xuan Huang."

"Blessings to the Heavenly Sovereign Xuan Huang."

"Blessings beget the God of Xuan Huang."

"Blessings to the Heavenly Lord Xuan Huang."

Familiar mumblings rang in his ears. After going in and out many times, Klein had become initially accustomed to these mumblings. It no longer hurt as if he would die in the next second as before.

The layers of whispering faded away, and the surroundings returned to silence.

Klein sat upright on the bronze chair, materializing paper and a pen.

Write down on paper: 1. After being promoted to Sequence 7

2. After Benson passed the exam and became a government employee

, he thought for two seconds and then wrote down on another piece of paper, "The time and place Benson took the civil service exam."

After he finished writing, Klein checked it once. After confirming that it was correct, he held the note in his hand, lay back, sketched countless balls of light in his mind, and quickly fell asleep with the help of meditation.

In his dream, Klein saw Tingen, a bustling city with people coming and going. People on the road were wearing winter clothes.

In a flash, the scene changed, and a somewhat unfamiliar city appeared in front of Klein.

There was a piercing roar coming from the factory, and smoke filled the city. In some places, it was so thick that no one could see the pedestrians, as if the city was swallowed by the smoke.

In the prosperous areas of the city, the rich and nobles were enjoying dances and tea, and the smell of luxury and money was flowing in the air.

A place name emerged in Klein's mind—Backlund, the capital of all cities.

Klein opened his eyes and wrote down the two locations side by side.

It seems to be winter, I don't know which month it is…

Klein took out the yellow crystal pendulum and silently said in his mind, "Benson took the civil service exam in Tingen in January 1350."

"Benson took the civil service exam in Tingen in January 1350."

…

"Benson took the civil service exam in Tingen in January 1350."

After silently reciting it seven times, Klein stared at the pendulum. In his sight, the topaz slowly rotated counterclockwise.

no.

Klein raised his hand, and the yellow crystal pendulum drew an arc and fell into Klein's hand.

He put the spirit pendant down again, holding the silver chain, waiting for the crystal to stabilize before silently reciting in his mind:

"Benson took the civil service exam in Tingen in February 1350."

…

"Benson took the civil service exam in Tingen in February 1350."

Not really…

Klein thought silently as he looked at the spirit pendulum spinning counterclockwise.

Again, and again...

Klein repeated it many times before he divined the exact time of Benson's exam. One was early December 1349 in Tingen, and the other was late January 1350 in Backlund.

He wrote the two time points after the place names.

Oops!

Klein looked at the words on the paper and discovered a serious problem—New Year!

There was a New Year between Benson's two exams.

In this world, the New Year is also a very important festival, and it also symbolizes reunion!

He actually forgot about the New Year!

Klein covered his head in annoyance, his heart was in a mess.

Reunion Festival...

There are really many similarities between these two worlds...

I don't know how my parents are doing in that world. The flow of time in the two worlds should be different. The time when my sister and I held the ceremony should be almost the same, but the time difference between them is three thousand years.

If that's the case, then my parents probably haven't discovered that we're missing yet. Thinking of this, Klein felt a little better, but still felt bitter.

Klein smiled bitterly and stared at the piece of paper in front of him.

What would Benson and Melissa think if they knew that it was me and not Klein who was spending New Year's with them?

Klein himself does not think that he is the original "Klein", but a different "Klein".

no!

Klein sat up straight. I can't tell them this bad news after the New Year! I

can't let Benson, Melissa, and Klein celebrate the New Year happily and then tell them that Klein died a long time ago. The one who celebrated the New Year with them was a Klein from another world who occupied Klein's body.

Klein picked up the pen and crossed out the second option.

After crossing out the second option, only the first option remains on the paper.

He would definitely confess before the New Year.

If that happens, Benson won't be able to wait until the day when he becomes a government employee and earns a decent income... Benson's weekly salary is enough to support a normal life, but the problem lies in the rent and the maid's salary.

I can secretly pay the rent and salary, which can reduce the living burden of Benson and Melissa.

I just don't know if they will accept it...

If they just give up the house and fire the maid after I leave...

This shouldn't be the case…

Klein slowly lowered his head and rested his forehead on the edge of the table.

New Year is a festival of reunion...

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Maybe Benson and Melissa thought of the meaning of the New Year and let me go back...

Klein thought about it with a smile on his face. His eyes felt a little sore. He arched his head upwards and pressed his eyes onto the table. He lay there without thinking about anything.

It was very quiet in Sefirah Castle, too quiet, and he was the only one there.

Klein gently touched his chest. He could feel his heart beating, lively and powerful, as if it had never stopped.

After a long moment, Klein raised his head and lay back, resting his head against the back of the bronze chair, staring blankly at the "dome".

Thick gray fog filled the space, flowing through every corner like a real object. The deep red stars broke through the shackles of the gray fog and emitted a faint light.

In his mind, white glowing spheres were outlined, bringing Klein a sense of tranquility.

It's the end of July now, and it will be September in two months, so I should leave in October.

Klein withdrew his gaze and calculated in his mind that after the confession, Benson and Melissa would need a long time to think about their relationship, at least two months. After two months, Benson and Melissa should be able to calm down and examine their relationship.

He left in October and moved to Backlund. Two months later it would be New Year's Day. Three months later Benson would come to Backlund to take the exam.

There happened to be two favorable timings for him.

The reunion connotation of the New Year might soften Benson and Melissa's attitudes, and during the January exam, Benson and Melissa might come to Backlund to visit him with mixed feelings.

Klein smiled bitterly. Why do I feel like an enemy? Analyzing the enemy's situation before the battle?

Actually, I can use divination... but I don't want to.

Klein lifted the pen and slowly lowered it. When the tip of the pen touched the first option, ink slowly seeped out and formed an ink dot at the tip of the pen.

After a long time, the pen shook, and the tip of the pen moved across the white paper, leaving a small check mark.

Klein looked at the small tick on the paper for a long, long time before he came back to his senses.

The paper and pen gradually dissipated like bubbles. Klein lay back and left Sephira Castle.

After returning home, Klein picked up the newspaper on the toilet and walked out of the bathroom.

The maid Bella was cleaning the living room. Klein turned around and said, "I want to rest. You don't need to clean my room."

"Okay, Mr. Klein," Bella straightened up immediately after hearing her employer's voice and looked at Klein. After her eyes met Klein, Bella was stunned for a moment, "Mr. Klein, you don't look well, are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm just a little tired." Klein opened the door with a click and said, "I'll be fine after a short rest."

As soon as he returned to the room, Klein fell on the bed, spread his hands, and stared at the ceiling with empty eyes.

He remained in this state for a long time until the maid Bella knocked on his door.

"Mr. Klein, dinner is ready."

Klein's brown eyes gradually regained some spirit. When he came to his senses, he realized that it was already night and Benson and Melissa had returned.

"I see."

Klein answered, supporting himself on the bed with his hands, exerting strength from his waist, and stood up from the bed.

He walked to the door and placed his hand lightly on the door handle.

Outside the door were Benson and Melissa. He could hear their voices, vaguely, not very clearly.

Click!

Klein pressed his hand down hard, the door opened, and he walked over.

"Klein."

Hearing the voice, Benson closed the political science and law book and placed it on the dining table. He looked at Klein and asked, "Have you been working hard recently? Bella said you were a little tired and were resting in your room. Why do you still look tired after resting?"

Melissa suddenly felt a little suspicious. Could it be that Klein was not resting, but studying divination, dream interpretation, or other mystical knowledge in the room?

"Indeed, there are some." Klein curled the corners of his lips and said casually, "Maybe I should take a leave and have a good rest for a while."

(End of this chapterChapter 109 Confusion

Chapter 109 Confusion

The next day, before the sun shone on the sleepy man, Klein suddenly woke up from his bed.

He had a nightmare.

He dreamed that Melissa and Benson beat and scolded him after knowing the truth, and cried and threw all his things out.

It must be just a dream...

Klein clutched the quilt tightly, his heart beating hard.

Otherwise, I can find a fortune teller to interpret my dream. No, I am a professional fortune teller...

It should be that whatever you think about during the day you will dream about at night, but why is the content like this!

Calm down, Klein, don't panic. You are only a Sequence Eight, you can't have a precognitive dream even if you want to.

Klein imagined layers of white light balls in his mind and used meditation to suppress his chaotic thoughts.

He glanced out the window. The sun had already risen, and the crimson moon hung in the western sky, casting a crimson veil over the dark ocean. The night had not yet completely faded, but in the distance, he could see clouds with bright light. The sun was hiding inside, shining, and the light shone through the clouds, dyeing the sky orange-red.

Klein retracted his gaze and looked at the wall clock in the dim light - it was half past four. He got out of bed, changed his clothes quietly, picked up his top hat from the coat rack and put it on his head, then tucked his cane under his arm and supported it with one hand.

The nightmare made him lose sleep, so he just got up and went out for a walk.

He put his hand on the doorknob and quietly and gently opened it a crack. He looked out through the gap with his brown eyes. He waited for a few seconds, and after making sure that no one was awakened, he pushed the door outwards until a gap big enough for him to pass through appeared.

Klein sidled through the door, left the room, and then gently closed the door. He tiptoed down the stairs and walked through the living room stealthily, then gently opened the door again, successfully leaving No. 2 Daffodil Street without alerting anyone.

Phew~

Klein breathed a sigh of relief, took off his cane, and walked on the road.

Tingen was unusually quiet right now. Even though Klein had deliberately reduced his force so as not to disturb others, he could still hear the sound of his cane hitting the ground.

Although it was summer, it was not too hot at four in the morning. The occasional breeze was unusually comfortable, and Klein felt much calmer.

Knock, knock, knock!

The knocking sound was very obvious in the silent environment. Klein looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the window on the second floor of an apartment in the distance was opened. Eve was looking at him with one hand on her chin.

As their eyes met, Eve smiled at Klein, propped her hands on the windowsill, stepped one foot on it, and jumped out of the window. Her off-white pajamas and slippers did not hinder her movements at all, and she flew down from the tall building like a light butterfly.

Klein stood there, watching Eve run towards him step by step.

Only after Eve stood beside him did he seem to come to his senses. He turned his head away without looking at Him, raised his foot silently, and walked forward.

Eve didn't say anything, and quietly accompanied Klein into the night.

Klein moved his fingers, turned his head slightly, glanced at Eve quietly, then quickly retracted his gaze and silently reached into his pocket to hold the topaz pendulum.

His thumb groped for the yellow crystal, and a cool touch came from his fingertips. Klein took out his pendulum and stared at the yellow crystal in his palm. He slowly closed his palms and gradually increased the strength. The tip of the yellow crystal pressed against his skin bit by bit, causing a slight pain.

Klein slowly placed his hands in his pockets and opened his palms little by little.

The pendulum gradually slid down and returned silently to the pocket.

The cold touch disappeared, and Klein moved his fingers. After a long while, he seemed to react and withdrew his hand.

"Would you like to come in and sit down?" Eve asked softly, pointing to her apartment.

Klein looked up and realized that they had arrived in front of Eve's apartment.

"good."

Klein has not been to Eve's home since she moved to Tingen.

Eve walked forward, put her hand on the door, and pushed it forward casually, and the wooden door moved back, opening the entrance.

Entering the apartment, Eve turned on the gas light switch. With a click, the light illuminated the dark room.

Klein leaned his cane against the wall, sat on the sofa, and observed Eve's apartment in the light.

The layout is very similar to Eve's apartment in Backlund, but much simpler. There are no photos of Eve and Ruirui on the wall, and no stuffed toys scattered on the floor in the living room. It seems that they don't plan to live here for a long time.

Eve took out a bottle of red wine and two glass goblets from the kitchen and placed them in front of Klein, then sat opposite him.

"Thank you, but no thanks. Drinking in the morning is not good for your stomach," Klein said with his eyes lowered. "And I don't want Melissa and Benson to find out that I went out to drink at four in the morning."

Eve smiled, pushed the red wine and tall glass aside, and waited quietly for Klein to speak.

Klein lowered his head and said nothing.

After a long while, he opened his mouth and said, "I've made up my mind. After I'm promoted to Sequence 7, I'll apply to become a Red Glove and go to Backlund with you."

"Why not wait until Benson becomes a government employee?" Eve asked, her chin in her hand.

Klein was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly in his heart. It turned out that his sister had known about it all along.

"I can't…" Klein's lips moved a few times. He clasped his hands tightly, and his fingers kept scratching the backs of his hands. He said with a bit of bitterness: "Celebrate the New Year with them in my current identity, and then tell them after the New Year that 'Klein' has passed away a long time ago."

"I probably…can't celebrate the New Year with Melissa and Benson." Klein smiled and consoled himself, "But I can celebrate the New Year with you and Ouroboros. That's what happens when there's a trade-off."

Eve held her chin and listened to Klein quietly. In fact, He hadn't celebrated the New Year for a long time. If Klein wanted, He could call Ouroboros back to celebrate the New Year together.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Klein let out a breath and lowered his head, saying, "I have imagined many outcomes. The best one is that Melissa and Benson would accept me directly, but this is impossible. It would be more appropriate to call it a fantasy rather than an assumption."

"What's more realistic is that Melissa and Benson slowly accepted me after a long time," Klein paused and smiled bitterly, "or they didn't accept me and never saw me again."

"The worst-case scenario is that Melissa and Benson report directly to the church after learning that an unknown evil spirit has taken over their family members' bodies."

Klein lowered his eyes and said sullenly, "Then I'll have to rely on you to save me. If possible, help me rebuild a body and return the body that belongs to 'Klein' to Melissa and Benson."

"It shouldn't be so ruthless…" Klein muttered to himself: "No, this is not ruthless…"

Klein slowly raised his hands and covered his face.

"Meow~"

Ruirui pushed the bedroom door open with her head and walked out lightly.

She came to Klein and rubbed his calf, as if to comfort him.

Crane slowly lowered his hand and gently stroked her head with the back of his hand, "Thank you, Rarity."

Eve stared at Klein quietly. Losing one's family was a very painful thing.

He suddenly thought of Medici and Mikhail. A thousand years had washed away a lot of pain, but every time he thought of it, he still couldn't let it go. Although he had speculated about Adam's death, he didn't know about it until this year.

Eve rubbed her brows, glanced at the depressed Klein, and said, "Melissa is a very perceptive child. She should be able to notice that her brother is a little different from before, but she didn't think in that direction."

Klein listened in silence, not knowing what to say.

After a long while, he stood up and said, "I have to go back. Bella gets up very early. I have to go back before she gets up."

Eve stood up and walked Klein out the door.

Klein looked back, adjusted his hat, and walked forward.

Melissa...

Klein looked up at the sky. The sun's "territory" had greatly expanded, and the crimson moon was looming in the western sky.

Chapter 110 Another Letter

Klein returned home. No one was awake yet. He quietly went upstairs and returned to his bedroom.

He didn't take off his clothes, but lay down on the bed in the night chill, closed his eyes and thought of nothing.

After an unknown amount of time, Klein heard some slight noises coming from outside the door. He knew that Bella had gotten up.

Klein turned over and estimated in his mind the time when Melissa and Benson would wake up. After waiting for a while, he sat up.

He moved slowly to the door, put his hand on the door handle, took a deep breath, and walked out of the room as usual.

"Mr. Klein?"

Bella looked at Klein in surprise. Usually, Klein was the last one to get up.

"Yeah," Klein responded and explained, "I didn't sleep well last night and woke up early today."

Bella nodded, not doubting anything.

Klein walked into the kitchen, opened the cupboard, took out a tea can, and made himself a cup of black tea.

The warm tea with a hint of tea fragrance lies in the white porcelain teacup.

Klein carried him to the sofa. On the coffee table was a book called Men's Aesthetics. This was Benson's pastime after dinner, and Klein would sometimes read it.

He picked up the book and flipped through it while sipping tea. After finishing his tea, Melissa and Benson also left the room one after another.

"Klein got up very early today."

Melissa said casually.

"I didn't sleep well last night, so I woke up early." Klein repeated the excuse he used to Bella. Although it couldn't be considered an excuse, he did wake up early because he didn't sleep well.

"Didn't sleep well?" Benson asked with some concern, "Have you been under a lot of work pressure recently?"

"Maybe," Klein said, "This is a good job, with a good weekly salary and it's easy, so I hope I can be better and deserve this job."

Benson nodded, and after thinking of his precarious hairline, he said with some sadness, "The fact that you passed the interview and got this job means you deserve it. If there is nothing special, it is better to relax."

Melissa also said, "Yes, Klein, you don't need to be stressed. Our lives are already good now. Although our savings are still a little insufficient, it is only a matter of time."

Klein smiled and nodded.

The Moretti siblings finished their breakfast as usual. Klein said goodbye to Melissa and Benson and went to the Blackthorn Security Company.

…

Rarity jumped onto Eve's lap and rubbed her head against his hand.

Eve rubbed Ruirui's little head and said with a smile: "The sun really rises from the west."

He stood up and said, "I'm going to work. Don't get me into trouble. You can take Miss Audrey out to play, but you have to protect her."

"When have I ever caused you any trouble, meow~" Ruirui's tone was filled with a hint of disgust, "It's obviously always you who has caused me trouble."

Just as she was about to speak, Eve suddenly felt a movement. She looked towards the wall and saw a cat head with bat wings.

"Puff, puff."

Little Puji was extremely happy to see Eve. Its two little bat wings flapped up and down and flew around Eve.

Eve touched Little Puji and signaled it to open its mouth.

Little Puji opened his mouth obediently and took out the letter and two paper boxes from his mouth. A cute creature immediately became terrifying.

Little Puji is a spiritual creature that is very suitable to be a messenger. It has a sac in its mouth for storing things.

Eve took the envelope and the box, and little Puji rubbed Eve's hand coquettishly.

This time there were three letters and two boxes in total. One letter was from Frank Lee, one was from Frank to Klein, and the other was from Cattleya to Him.

The box occasionally trembled, and it seemed that there was a living thing inside.

What Eve said about "He" knowing Cattleya was indeed true, but "He" and Cattleya were not very familiar with each other, having only met her a few times when she was a child.

And because of Bernadette, little Cattleya would run away every time she saw Him. Unexpectedly, when Cattleya grew up, she would take the initiative to write to Him.

The girl reached out and held the cat's head. "Don't leave yet. Wait until I finish reading the letter."

After hearing this, little Puji's big cat eyes suddenly lit up and he kept calling "Puji, Puji" happily.

Eve walked to the sofa, sat down, and placed the letter and box on the coffee table.

Ruirui ran to the bedroom, took out a credit card knife from the drawer, and put it next to Eve.

Eve took Cattleya's letter first and opened it with a knife.

After reading it, Eve had only one comment on Cattleya's letter - official.

The words were very official. He first greeted Eve, then apologized to her for writing to her so late - he only recently learned that Frank had met Eve, and finally ended with a set of formulaic polite words.

Eve hummed twice, but was not disappointed. After all, Cattleya had never been close to Him when they were children.

He placed Cattleya's letter on the sofa and opened Frank's letter.

Frank's letter was much more straightforward and casual. He directly stated that he followed Klein's advice, focused on yield, and had developed high-yield wheat.

He crossbred wheat and fish and created a fish that could grow wheat. The wheat produced by one fish was enough to make a lot of bread.

To express his gratitude, he sent two fish, one for Klein and one for Eve.

Your result has nothing to do with Zhou Mingrui's idea... Eve muttered in her heart... Who else but you would use fish to grow wheat.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Eve looked at the boxes and opened one.

A small black fish, probably only as long as Eve's index finger, with small plant buds clearly visible in the gaps between its scales.

As the fish grows, these small buds will gradually grow larger.

Eve held the box in front of Rarity and asked with a smile, "Do you want to eat it?"

Ruirui didn't even sniff it. She put a paw on the back of Eve's hand and pushed it hard, refusing, "Are you sure you can eat this?"

"I ate it last time."

"Is the one from last time the same as this one? The one from last time was meant to be eaten." Ruirui rolled her eyes in an indecent manner, "And you tricked me into eating it back then. I've already taken a bite, so I might as well just eat it."

Eve chuckled, turned to Little Puji and said, "Send this letter and box to Klein. Just send them to the place where you sent them last time. Wait until 11:30 Bklund time and then send them over."

He knew that the Moretti siblings would go back to their room to sleep after eleven o'clock.

…

Klein stayed at the Blackthorn Security Company for a while, and returned home after he was slightly out of the negative state.

When he got home, he told Bella not to disturb him and locked himself in the room.

Klein knelt on one knee in front of the bed, supporting himself with one hand, and reached under the bed with the other. He leaned over and pulled out a cardboard box from under the bed.

The box contained the books that Klein had taken from Eve. These books could not be discovered by Melissa and Benson. Although Melissa and Benson would not enter his room without his permission, Klein still hid the books under the bed just in case.

Klein held the small box and took out the book he had been reading recently, Kingdom of the Dead.

This is the last one, and there is only a little left. Klein plans to finish reading it today and then go to Eve to exchange it for some books from the Third Age.

After all, his Tarot Club had a member from the God-forsaken Land.

The name of this book sounds impressive, but it is actually a Mary Sue novel, with many fictional families and places. After comparing it with the previous books, Klein speculated that many of the families and places in it should be based on the families and places in the Quaternary.

Klein sat at the desk and opened the book to find the place where he last read.

Perhaps because of his state, Klein read much slower than usual. There were only a hundred pages left, but when Klein finished reading, it was almost dusk and Melissa had already returned.

Klein closed the books, put them back in the box, and hid them under the bed again.

I'll return the book tomorrow... Klein thought as he walked out of the room.

"Where's Melissa?"

Klein walked out of the room but didn't see Melissa, so he walked into the kitchen and asked Bella in confusion.

"Ms. Melissa went back to her room. She asked us not to disturb her."

Klein felt a little strange, but he obediently did not disturb Melissa.
