Chapter 56 False

Chapter 56: Falsehood

The porcelain white teacup smashed to the floor.

"Click—"

There was a sound of breaking, and fragments flew out.

"Ah!" Anne screamed and retreated with Audrey.

But Susie had already left before the cup fell to the ground and was not hurt.

Audrey felt relieved and wanted to go to the window to see what Susie was calling out to, but she saw a black cat squatting on the empty window.

Ruirui?

Did Susie just bark at it?

"Oh, my God, this is such a bad day," Annie exclaimed. "Maybe we should go to church tomorrow to pray for the bad luck to go away."

Anne asked a few maids to sweep away the debris. Audrey looked at Rarity on the window. It seemed that the black cat was only attracted by the noise. It took a look inside the house and then jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night.

Audrey stared out the window blankly. She felt that Ruirui seemed very mysterious. This mystery was not the mystery brought by unknown information but a momentary feeling.

There was no reason for this feeling, it only lasted for a moment and then disappeared, making Audrey suspect that it was just her illusion.

Ruirui should be just an ordinary cat.

Audrey retracted her gaze, looked at Anne and said, "Annie, let's go."

"Yes, miss."

…

Audrey took Caitlin's arm and boarded the carriage. The crimson moonlight cast a thin veil over the running carriage.

The carriage stopped outside a luxurious villa. Audrey helped her mother get out of the car. Aunt Elena was already standing outside the door waiting for them.

"Oh, my dear Elena," Caitlin looked at the haggard Elena and touched her cheek with heartache, "You..."

Caitlin whimpered, unable to speak.

"Aunt…" Audrey looked at Elena worriedly.

"I'm fine, Caitlin," Elena put her hand on the back of Caitlin's hand and comforted her softly, "Come in quickly, we can't let our little princess endure this cold night wind outside."

"Come in," Elena led Caitlin and Audrey to sit down at the coffee table, "I have prepared a lot of refreshments for you."

Elena took the tea and snacks herself and placed them on the tea table, then said to the maids, "You guys go out."

"yes."

Elena looked at the maids' backs as they left and the door slowly closing. She could no longer suppress the sadness in her heart. Tears filled her eyes and rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

"Caitlin, oh, Caitlin," Elena said, sobbing, "I thought, I thought he loved me."

Caitlin ran over and hugged Elena, stroking her back, not knowing how to comfort her.

Audrey sat opposite, feeling very sad.

"I didn't think it would come to this. I just wanted to scare him, but he didn't even explain." Elena wiped her tears and hugged her sister back, "Do you think he feels guilty..."

Caitlin's anger suddenly emerged, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Goddess, did he give you a love potion? You are still thinking about him!"

Caitlin wanted to say more, but she saw her sister's tears pouring down like a flood. She said helplessly and heartbrokenly: "Don't think about him, Elena, don't think about anything related to him anymore. From now on, stay away from him, stay away from Tingen, and stay away from anything related to him."

"I'm not thinking about him..." Elena stammered, "Besides, I have to go back to Tingen in three days..."

"What!" Caitlin said angrily, "Do you know what you are doing!"

"No, I'm not going to meet him. I've asked a security company to investigate Darion. Three days from now is the time for me to give them my second commission." Elena explained hurriedly.

"But..." Audrey hesitated, lowered her eyes and looked at her close aunt, and said tactfully: "You can let the housekeeper or the maid do these things, and the investigation is over. You can pay them all the commission before you leave."

"Also, what do you mean by a second time? Will there be a third and fourth time?" Caitlin was much more direct than Audrey's tactful approach.

"No, there is no fourth time. Our commission is paid in three installments." Elena said weakly: "This is a new commission I placed before I left. It's not over yet."

Caitlin was so angry that her eyes turned black. "You...you..." She wanted to curse harshly to vent her anger, but her education since childhood and the heartache for her sister prevented her from doing this.

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

Finally, Caitlin gave up in frustration. She grabbed Elena's arm and said, "In any case, you must not go to Tingen. I will tell father. Don't even think about leaving Backlund these few days. Just let the butler or the maid pay the commission. Maybe father's guess at the time was true. He is a bastard."

"So many years have passed, why are you still harping on this little thing?"

"You're still defending him!"

Audrey looked at Aunt Elena who was crying with her hands covering her mouth, feeling sad and helpless, and sighed silently. She remembered the word "love brain" invented by Emperor Roselle, maybe it was referring to Aunt Elena. It was a pity that Emperor Roselle did not leave any method to deal with love brain.

At that time, Elena's family did not agree with Elena marrying Darion Edgar, but Elena insisted on getting married and even threatened to commit suicide to force the family to reluctantly agree to the marriage.

Audrey had met her former uncle several times. He had a good appearance, temperament and personality, and was good at sweet talk. No wonder he could have charmed Aunt Elena so much.

Elena met Darion when she was traveling in the Southern Continent. Darion also made his fortune in the Southern Continent, but later returned to the Northern Continent for Elena. He has many businesses under his control, is very busy at work, and often travels on business. When Baron Edgar is away on business, Elena will come to Backlund to visit her family.

When Audrey was a child, Elena would hold her in her arms and tell her their love story with a happy face. Every time they appeared together, they acted very affectionate.

Elena had always stubbornly believed that her family did not agree with her marriage to Darion Edgar because they looked down on Edgar. In order to prevent Darion Edgar from being looked down upon by the nobles, Elena even left her family, moved out of the Queens District of Backlund, and went to Tingen with Baron Edgar. After the marriage, she had been committed to helping Edgar become a noble.

In fact, this is indeed an important reason.

Nobles often intermarry, pay attention to bloodline, and require that family backgrounds be similar.

At that time, Elena's family tried every possible means to oppose this marriage.

When Elena announced that she was going to marry Darion Edgar, the family investigated him thoroughly and found that some of Edgar's property had unclear sources, but it seemed to be just a small mistake in the account book.

The mistake was minor, and Elena insisted that it was the staff's negligence, while Elena's father insisted that Edgar was involved in illegal business and that the money was washed too hastily and not cleanly enough. He used this as an excuse to madly attack Edgar and oppose Elena's marriage to him.

Chapter 57 Black Pot

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the Moretti brothers and sisters said goodnight to each other and went back to their rooms to rest.

Klein took off his coat and put his hands on the buttons of his shirt. Just as he was about to unbutton them, he heard a strange "puff puff" sound.

Klein paused, and then he saw the wall of the room become illusory, and a round cat head with white bat wings flew out of the wall.

This is... my sister's messenger "Little Puji"?

My sister told him that her messenger would make a "puji puji" sound with a cat head and possess the strength of a demigod. Klein was shocked at the time. Is this the spirit of a big boss to use a demigod as a messenger?

Klein looked at the messenger in front of him. It had a round white cat head, and the right ear and eye were orange. Although it only had a head and no body, it was not scary at all, but rather cute.

"Very cute..." Klein praised in his heart when he saw Puji's body tremble. A pair of sturdy arms that were extremely inconsistent with its body suddenly appeared on both sides. The muscles were bulging, and one of the arms was thicker than Klein's two.

Little Puji opened his mouth. When it was closed, the little cat's mouth suddenly turned into a bloody mouth of a monster, full of sharp teeth like sharks. When it was fully opened, the mouth occupied one-third of the volume of Little Puji.

It reached its muscular arm into its mouth, pulled out a snow-white envelope, and placed it on Klein's desk, pushing it inside as if it was afraid it would fall.

After putting the letter away, its bloody mouth slowly closed, and little Puji returned to its original cute appearance.

"Puchi~" It gave a soft and cheerful cry before crawling back into the wall, leaving Klein alone in shock.

Ah, this...

Klein glanced at the wall where Little Puji disappeared, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He felt a kind of beauty that was beyond words.

He glanced at the envelope on the table, and only picked it up after finding it clean and without saliva.

It was a letter from Frank Lee. He first greeted Klein in the letter, then asked about the taste of the fruit fish, talked about his next research species, and finally earnestly hoped that Klein and Eve could visit the "Future".

Klein wrote back a letter, detailing Ruirui's evaluation of the fruit fish, and tactfully suggested that Frank could shift the direction of hybridization toward yield. In the end, he rejected Frank's invitation, telling him that he had encountered some problems and would visit the "Future" when they were resolved.

Klein checked the contents of the letter and after confirming that they were correct, he took out a small silver bell from his coat and injected spirituality into it.

The silver bell shook twice by itself but made no sound.

"Puff~"

Little Puji appeared in the house again. It took a look at the letter in Klein's hand and opened its bloody mouth.

Is this for me to throw the letter into its mouth?

Klein thought of the letter it had taken out of its mouth, and with a force of his wrist he threw the letter in.

Little Puji closed his mouth, made a "Puji~" sound, and disappeared into the house again.

…

Because of the Welch case, security companies have ushered in a spring of development. Even the little-known Blackthorn Security Company has received three large orders in a row. Two of them are Ms. Elena's investigation of Baron Edgar, which is in charge of Frye, and the other is the search for the kidnapped little Elliot received this afternoon, which was handed over to Klein and Leonard who stayed in the company at that time.

Although they turned to Blackthorn Security Company because they couldn't find any other security company to take the job.

This was his first mission. No, this should be a private job, Klein corrected himself in his mind.

After the mission, Klein always felt like he had forgotten something but couldn't remember it, and he had this feeling after Leonard high-fived him.

My sister said that Leonard was involved with a high-ranking being.

Klein sat on the sofa and read the newspaper. He was thinking about going to Sefirah Castle to do some divination after work. No, he couldn't divine anything involving high-level beings. He should tell his sister.

The sound of a door opening was heard, and Luo Shan's sweet voice said, "Captain, you're back. Hey? Who is this?"

Dunn turned sideways to reveal a dishevelled middle-aged man behind him. He had no coat, his clothes were torn in many places, and his white shirt was stained with muddy yellow.

"This is Lord Cecima," Dunn introduced.

"Lord Cecima has arrived?" Klein said in surprise. Although he knew that Lord Cecima's trip would probably be in vain, as a participant in the case, he still had to pretend.

"Thanks to Leonard," Dunn's deep blue eyes showed a trace of annoyance, "I didn't even think of picking up Lord Cecima."

"Wow," Roxanne exclaimed, "Leonard has become smarter!"

Leonard frowned and said unhappily, "What do you mean by getting smarter? I..."

"Indeed, just thinking about picking someone up doesn't make you smart," Luo Shan said, "Normally, everyone would think of it."

"But we didn't expect this at all," Klein said with a frown. "This is a bit suspicious."

"And someone is trying to stop me from entering Tingen," Cecima said grimly, "If it weren't for Captain Dunn, I wouldn't be able to get to Tingen in a month."

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

"That black cat?" Dunn guessed in a serious tone. After all, Cecima came here just for the black cat.

The corner of Klein's mouth twitched slightly. It was really unfair for Ruirui to take the blame.

"It could be," Cecima nodded, "but why didn't it stop you from coming to pick me up?"

"Because we acted quickly, it didn't know and didn't react? No, that's not right..." Dunn denied his own guess. If it really wanted to stop Lord Cecima from entering Tingen and obstruct her along the way, it should have been paying attention all the time.

"Maybe it's not this..." Leonard said tentatively. Seeing the captain and Lord Cecima looking at him immediately, Leonard hurriedly said, "I'm just guessing."

"That's an idea," Klein took the opportunity to follow Leonard's words and said, "Maybe there really is a third party force, and it's them who stopped Lord Cecima."

"But even if there is a third party," Dunn said, "they should also be cooperating with Black Cat. Otherwise, why would they help Black Cat to stop Lord Cecima?"

"Uh…" Klein pondered for a moment and said tentatively, "Perhaps it's not for Black Cat. They have other purposes and don't want Lord Cecima to come to Tingen?"

"Okay, now there is no sign that a third party exists, so don't speculate," Cecima said. "Whether the so-called third party exists or not, we have to investigate the black cat. Let's investigate the black cat first. Once we investigate the black cat, we will know whether the third party exists or not."

Klein felt like crying but had no tears. I'm sorry, Ruirui. I tried my best, but this blame is stuck to you like glue.

Besides, Ruirui really didn't need to be checked. She just came to Tingen for a stroll. She didn't know which city she had gone to. How could she check?

Klein felt that the third-party force was most likely real. The most urgent task was to check the third-party force. That was the one that had real ill intentions towards the Nighthawks. Who knows, it might be brewing some big conspiracy.

Hmm?

Klein has always been very sensitive to other people's gazes. He felt that someone was staring at him closely. Following that line of sight, he saw Leonard's green eyes staring at him with a mysterious smile.

Klein retracted his gaze and thought to himself, did the being behind Leonard sense the existence of a third-party force and alert Leonard?

(End of this chapterChapter 58 The Truth

Chapter 58 The Truth

The crimson moonlight cast a thin veil over Tingen. The veil flowed like water, crawling into the house through the window, caressing the young man's face, and filling every corner of the house.

Klein stood in front of the dressing mirror, waiting for today's class.

Ripples appeared on the mirror surface like water, and a slender hand stretched out from the center of the ripples and grabbed Klein's collar and pulled him hard.

Klein staggered and was pulled into the mirror by that hand.

"Oh~ my dear Zhou Mingrui," Eve said with a smile, "Are you ready to receive your sister's love education?"

Klein tugged at his collar and straightened it out after Eve had messed it up. "Not yet."

"Hey?" Eve touched her chin and said, "Tell me what's going on."

"After high-fiving Leonard today, I felt like I had forgotten something," Klein asked, "Did the existence behind Leonard take action?"

"Of course, otherwise how could you rookies detect it?" Eve said with a smile, "Don't worry, I have had a friendly exchange with the being behind him, and we have almost figured it out. He will not hurt you."

Klein was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who is behind Leonard?"

"A weak angel, hiding inside Leonard to recover from his injuries."

Angel!

Another angel. Little Tingen is so powerful. Klein complained in his heart. He is actually hiding in Leonard's body. Wait...

Klein looked up at Eve and said, "Leonard wasn't present when you were talking, was he?"

"Don't worry," Eve patted Klein's shoulder. Just as Klein was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Eve say, "Of course."

"You…" Klein opened his mouth and closed it again. He really didn't know what to say. He thought of Leonard's mysterious smile today, and finally asked in frustration, "Then I should have been exposed too. How much was exposed?"

"Don't worry, how can I cheat you?" Eve waved her hand and said, "I just said that you and I have some relationship. As for what the relationship is, I didn't say it, so let them imagine it themselves."

"Yes." Klein nodded and said firmly.

"Sister, I'm so sad. You don't trust me at all." Eve covered her chest and cried, "The child has grown up, and all..."

As Eve spoke, she glanced at Klein quietly. Seeing that he was staring at her speechlessly, she thought for a moment, coughed twice, and said with a smile, "What did you forget? Do you remember it now?"

"I went to Sefirah Castle to do some divination, and it turned out to be the notes of the Antigonus family."

"Isn't this great?" Eve said, "You asked me about this before. Look, I told you that the clues would come to you soon."

"There is another thing," Klein frowned and said, "It's about Ruirui. Lord Cecima was blocked when she came to Tingen. They plan to investigate Ruirui first."

Did Cecima come to Tingen?

"It's easy," Eve said nonchalantly, "Let Ruirui walk around Tingen and deliver medicine to some injured people, so that the night watchers know that she is just a kind cat, and you are just an ordinary person who happened to see her."

"That's one idea. Then who is preventing Lord Cecima from entering Tingen? What is their purpose?" Klein asked one by one.

Eve lowered her head, her long black hair sliding in front of her.

He slowly raised his hand, pinched the end of his hair, and recalled the conversation that took place a thousand years ago.

"Amani... Mikhail has fallen."

"He will not fall like this."

"You mean..."

Amanesis did not answer Him, nor did He inquire.

Sometimes the truth is hard to face, and He would rather be a fool who knows nothing.

When Medici fell, He wanted to explore and verify it, but in the end He gave up. If it was true, He could not face Adam, nor could He face the fallen Medici and Mikhail.

This was the second time He had the idea of exploring. It was for Zhou Mingrui. His participation in the mysterious battle was completely different from...his participation.

But it is extremely difficult to explore this matter. As the King of Angels in the audience channel, He wants to disguise Himself so that no one can find out.

And there was no evidence for this matter unless He admitted it personally. So Eve was thinking of the simplest method of elimination. If it wasn't Pales, then the only person in Tingen who deserved His attention was Zhou Mingrui. No, to be more precise, Zhou Mingrui, the owner of Sefirah Castle.

Eve patted Klein on the shoulder and said mysteriously, "Be careful of the 'audience.'"

Klein was stunned for a moment, then realized that high-ranking audiences were good at arranging scripts.

"You can go and discuss it with Leonard," Eve said with a smile, "There are two... um... people behind the Cecima incident. One obstructed Cecima, and the other..."

Eve curled her lips and said, "It may have contributed to Cecima's successful entry into Tingen."

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

"It?" Klein was stunned for a moment. "An activated seal?"

Eve nodded and shrugged, "It's just a guess. Okay, is there anything else you want to say?"

Klein was silent for a long time. He slowly lowered his head and said, "I read the newspaper today. The Welch case has been closed. It seems that Welch's father has believed the police's statement."

Eve kept her original smile and looked at Klein.

"He must be very sad," Klein was silent for a moment, then he looked up at his sister. Eve's smile became smaller and smaller, and finally she flattened her lips, putting away her usual heartless look, and also looking at him. Klein lowered his eyelashes, grabbed Eve's sleeve and said, "Mom and Dad must be even more sad to lose two sons at once."

Eve's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she hugged Klein in silence. After a long while, she said, "Actually, we are lucky."

"I know."

Klein hugged Eve back and said in a muffled voice, "Melissa and Benson will be very sad to know that they have lost the real Klein."

"you..."

Klein looked down at Eve, smiled bitterly and said, "I want to tell them, it's not just because of you. Benson and Melissa are the ones who should know about Klein's death."

"When will you tell them?" Eve said softly and gently.

"I will work hard to get promoted, apply to be transferred to another city or join the Red Gloves, and tell them before leaving Tingen," Klein lowered his eyes to hide his emotions. "They need time to digest this news. They probably don't want to see me during this time. And… I don't want to be abandoned by them…"

"Give me some more time. Even if I can't continue to be your brother or your younger brother, at least, at least... I won't..."

Eve gently stroked Klein's back, again and again, comforting the sad young man.

Klein took a moment to relax, his breathing gradually steadied, and he calmed down a little. "No matter what the result is, in my heart Benson and Melissa will always, always, always be my family."

　This cover is not the one I asked my friend to draw. I saw a cover when I woke up today.

(End of this chapter)Chapter 59 Deception

Chapter 59 Deception

There was no class tonight. Eve and Klein sat and talked a lot, before and after the time travel, all about daily life. The ordinary life in the past was so precious and beautiful.

They talked for a long time until Klein yawned and left.

After returning home, Eve did not rush to the bed as usual. She sat in front of the dressing mirror. The mirror surface was rippling, and soon a notebook appeared, with a white feather pen quietly placed there.

He looked at the several lines of blackened words on the notebook. The ink flowed to the side like water, forming a large ink spot. The words gradually appeared as the ink left.

"Although Ince Zangwill tried his best to stop it, Sesima still came to Tingen. They began to suspect Ince Zangwill's existence."

Eve continued to watch expressionlessly. These were all arrangements that were beneficial to the Night Watchers. He was not surprised. In fact, this was exactly the effect he wanted to achieve.

Eve deceived Alesukhod's pen. At that time, Eve just casually divined whether Adam was paying attention to Tingen. She didn't hold much hope. Who knew that the divination was actually correct without any signs of interference.

This result made him give up the idea of taking Al-Suhod's Pen directly. Perhaps as long as he had the idea of taking action, he would appear first.

The result of the divination was revealed by Eve to the Pen of Aleshuod, who was observing Him at the time. He used Adam to force the Pen of Aleshuod to lean towards Him, and in order to prevent the Pen of Aleshuod from escaping directly from Tingen, He chose to deceive and let it stay in the hands of Ins Zangwill for the reasons behind it. In other words, Adam had a plan in Tingen, and it was safe in Ins's hands, and Eve would keep an eye on it. But if it ran away directly and got out of Adam's plan, He would not necessarily continue to let it stay in the hands of others, and Eve would not necessarily continue to pay attention to it.

In this way, in the eyes of Alesuhod's pen, he had a chance to hook up with Eve. As long as he seized the opportunity to persuade Eve, and when Eve had the idea of taking it away, he would find a way to kill Ins Zangwill. Once he died and became an abandoned pawn, the reason behind it would have nothing to do with him, and Eve would take it away.

As the Angel King who had a bad relationship with Adam, it was naturally safer for him to stay with Eve than with Ince Zangwill. Eve's attitude was also very clear - she had no intention of giving it to Adam, but she didn't take it because she wanted to see the reason behind it.

That's why its attitude was so fawning. It took the initiative to please Eve and help Klein. That guy said it was terrible and called Ince Zangwill the worst writer, but in fact he was secretly expressing his intention to change his master.

Eve did want to use Tingen's incident to locate Adam's purpose and confirm the truth, but in Adam's plan, Ince Zangwill was just an insignificant pawn, and what happened to him would not affect anything.

And even if he fails this time, as long as Zhou Mingrui is still there, as long as the suspicion is true, Adam will keep paying attention to him, and he will know sooner or later. It is better to know it earlier, but it is better to know it later. During the period of not knowing, He will prepare for the worst case scenario.

…

Because of the Antigonus family notes, Klein got up extra early today and rushed to the Blackthorn Security Company.

It was not yet eight o'clock when they returned from Rel Bieber's house.

Klein hadn't eaten breakfast yet, but after what happened just now, he had no appetite for breakfast. Just when he thought he was going to spend the morning hungry, the extra income of 10 pounds instantly cured his discomfort. This was his salary for many weeks.

He still remembered what Eve said last night and sat in the reception hall waiting for Leonard.

Leonard went to monitor Baron Edgar last night. Ms. Elena's commission was to monitor the follow-up situation between Baron Edgar and Miss Sherman, and the commission was quite generous. The first commission was 200 pounds.

This kind of surveillance mission requires work day and night, and the night part is often handed over to the sleepless.

Klein sat on the sofa reading a newspaper. After a long while, he heard the sound of a door opening.

Leonard still looked like a romantic poet. He was not wearing a coat, and the top two buttons of his white shirt were undone. He yawned, scratched his head, and said to Klein, "Good morning, Klein."

"Good morning, Leonard," Klein put down the newspaper and folded it on the sofa. "You look tired. Do you want to go to the lounge and rest for a while? I can make you a cup of coffee or tea."

"Ah? I'm not tired, no..." Leonard casually half-lay on the sofa, with his arms spread out on the back of the sofa. Just as he was about to refuse, he suddenly changed his mind and said, "But I still want to rest for a while, thank you."

Am I being too tactful or have you traded your IQ for your looks? Klein complained in his mind.

Leonard stood up and followed Klein to the lounge. There was no one else in the lounge.

Klein took a look at the Holy Emblem of Night hanging on the wall and suddenly felt guilty. He secretly praised the goddess in his heart.

Wait...the goddess won't hear me, right?

"Tea or coffee?"

"coffee."

Klein took out the can of coffee stored in the lounge and made a cup for Leonard. The two sat down face to face. Klein hesitated for a while. The goddess shouldn't pay attention to me.

Klein hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to say, "Be careful of the 'audience'."

Leonard glanced at Klein in confusion and tilted his head as if he was listening to something.

After a while, Leonard looked up at Klein and said, "What did He say?"

"Well…there are two entities behind the incident involving Lord Cecima, one of which is an activated seal." Although there was no one else in the lounge, Klein still lowered his voice and spoke in a low voice.

The Activated Seal of the Audience Path...

Pales' heart skipped a beat, wondering if it was written by Alsuhod.

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

If it was really written by Al-Suhod, He would find us sooner or later.

Pales felt that the world was too unfriendly to the heart of an old man like him. He was hiding well in Tingen, but who knew that Eve suddenly came to him. At that time, Pales felt that he was going to die. Eve had always been willing to support Amon in becoming a god in secret.

Fortunately, He changed His mind for unknown reasons, but He might change His mind again someday. In short, Pales felt that he was in danger now, and Leonard would not be in a good situation either. He was supervised by Pales to digest the potion and try to leave Tingen as soon as possible.

Pales was still worried and today there was another big surprise, his heart almost jumped into his throat.

Before Eve left, Adam came. Is Amon the next one?

"What is your relationship with Him?" Leonard said, repeating what Pales said.

"I don't know." Klein shook his head and said in confusion. I'm just a weak Sequence Nine. What can I know? "But He is very good to me and doesn't ask me to believe in Him."

Goddess, I haven't converted, please don't kill me.

Klein added in his mind. Although he felt that the goddess would not pay attention to a mere Sequence Nine like him, he still felt extremely guilty next to the Holy Emblem of Night.

"The old man said he knew." Leonard scratched his head, looked around, and came close to Klein and said, "I knew you also had a secret."

"Anything else?" Klein asked.

"ah?"

"Anything else besides this?" Klein explained as he looked at Leonard's puzzled expression.

"No," Leonard asked in confusion, "What happened?"

"No, nothing." Klein took a deep breath. Perhaps the Riddler was a necessary condition for becoming a high-ranking being.

　I found a plot bug and fixed Chapter 45. Thanks to Baozi in the comment section for reminding me

(this chapter is over)Chapter 60 Hypocrisy

Chapter 60: Hypocrisy

Klein sighed in his heart, ended his conversation with Leonard, and left the Blackthorn Security Company. After walking around the street looking for notes, he went to the Fortune Teller Club.

The extra ten pounds of income meant that he no longer had to wait for funding to be approved, and he had enough money to become a member of the Fortune Tellers Club.

…

Although they had only known each other for a few days, Eve and Audrey had already become familiar with each other.

Eve had a smile on her face. She held the small silver spoon between her fingers and slowly stirred the coffee clockwise to dissolve the settled sugar cubes.

Her mood was not as happy as it seemed. Audrey quietly observed the girl opposite her. Miss Eve was very calm with Ruirui and they had a very good relationship.

Eve took a sip of coffee and let the little audience opposite her observe her without caring.

He looked at the big golden retriever lying at his feet.

This must be Miss Justice's extraordinary pet.

"Rui Rui often comes to see Susie by herself. Miss Eve is very confident in her." Audrey gently stroked the black cat nestled in her lap and said with a smile, "She is so smart that she can recognize the way after only coming here once."

"Well, Ruirui is indeed very smart. She often runs around, and sometimes I have trouble finding her." Eve put down her teacup, picked up the handbag next to her and said, "I'm not worried. Ruirui's fighting ability is very strong. All the cats and dogs in Backlund will bow their heads and stand still when they see her."

Eve stood up, lifted her skirt, bowed to Audrey and said, "Thank you Miss Audrey for your hospitality."

Audrey also stood up and returned the greeting.

Their afternoon tea only lasted for an hour. Audrey looked at Eve's leaving back, puffed up her cheeks in frustration, and sat back in her chair.

She had asked Mr. Fool a long time ago, and learned that pets could also drink potions. Susie was fine and even learned to speak.

At that time, she was wondering if Ruirui was also a pet that drank the potion? In that case, Miss Eve should also be a Beyonder. The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was right, so Audrey always brought up the topic of Ruirui during afternoon tea, but unfortunately she only got some specious information.

Audrey looked at Susie at her feet, rubbed her head and said, "Come on, Susie, we will know one day."

No. 18, Minsk Street, Cherwood District, Backlund

"Do you still want to recruit that little girl into the club, meow?" Ruirui jumped onto the sofa nimbly and licked her front paws and asked.

"Hmm..." Eve suddenly lay down on the sofa, occupying the entire sofa. Ruirui was squeezed and jumped onto the armrest of the sofa. Eve turned over and lay on the sofa. She raised her head and supported her face with one hand, looking at Ruirui who was squatting in front of her and said, "It's not impossible."

"Meow, you're even trying to steal your own brother's girl." Ruirui said with disgust.

"What are you talking about? This is called..." Eve racked her brains to recall the politics she had memorized in her previous life, saying some clichés that she didn't understand but thought would fit the topic, "Uh... integrate resources... human resources... maximize benefits..."

"Okay, okay, meow," Ruirui said as she washed her face, "You always like to find some high-sounding excuses for yourself."

After saying that, Ruirui paused and turned to look at Eve in a daze.

Eve looked at Ruirui and chuckled at herself. The hand that was supporting her head suddenly dropped and her face fell into the soft sofa.

"Alas, I am a hypocritical person after all." Eve's voice was muffled as she buried herself in the sofa.

"I'm sorry," Rarity stretched out one of her front paws, as if wanting to touch Eve, "I'm not…"

"I know." Eve suddenly propped herself up on the sofa with both hands, raised her upper body, and said with her usual heartless smile, "What's wrong with hypocrisy? No wonder I can't live because of hypocrisy. Hahaha, that's good. It makes me know myself better."

Ruirui looked at the smiling Eve, jumped off the armrest, squatted on the sofa, put one of her front paws on the back of Eve's hand, and stared at him with her brown eyes. The two looked at each other silently.

After a long while, Eve looked away first, curled her lips awkwardly, and said, "Rui Rui, you go down first. I can't hold on any longer. This is very tiring."

Eve's arms were shaking slightly, and she seemed unable to hold on any longer.

Ruirui glanced at Him, retracted her front paws and jumped off the sofa.

Eve collapsed all of a sudden, and it took her more than ten seconds to sit up. She threw her arms back and forth twice, then took turns hitting her arms with both hands.

Brown eyes kept watching Him.

After beating for a while, Eve waved to Ruirui and said, "Go to Tingen for a walk. Remember not to appear too deliberate when approaching the Nighthawks."

"good."

An illusory door with starlight formed on the snow-white wall. Ruirui looked behind her. Eve saw that she had looked behind her and waved to her. She smiled and said, "Remember to come back for dinner. I will cook for you myself. This time I will definitely not lose to Audrey's chef."

Ruirui turned around, walked towards the door, and jumped out of an empty alley.

The soft pads of her flesh stepped on the land of Tingen. She looked at her feet for a while, her brown eyes moved, and she ran straight to No. 2 Daffodil Street.

After arriving at the destination, Ruirui sat at the door waiting for Klein.

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

"Rui Rui?" After waiting for a long time, Klein finally arrived. He stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's okay," Rarity walked in after Crane opened the door, "I just wanted to come check on you."

Ruirui's voice is that of a childish girl, and it's very inconsistent to look like an adult like this.

"Oh, okay." Klein looked at Ruirui who jumped onto the sofa and asked hesitantly, "Do you need coffee or tea?"

Ruirui is not an ordinary cat. She should be able to drink coffee and tea, Klein thought to himself.

"No need," Ruirui said, "I'll just stay here for a while, just do your thing and don't bother with me."

"Rui Rui, are you worried?" Klein asked with concern, "Did you have a fight with your sister?"

The black cat shook his head and stopped talking.

Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Klein didn't ask any more questions. He put on an apron and prepared dinner for Melissa and Benson. He brought the dishes to the table, turned around and asked, "Would you like to stay for dinner? Benson and Melissa will like you."

"No, Eve prepared dinner," Rarity shook her head, "and I have a mission, so I need to go."

As she said that, she jumped onto the window. Ruirui looked back at Crane and opened her mouth but said nothing.

What happened?

Klein looked at the window with puzzled eyes. Ruirui was no longer there. Why do you two like to be riddlers?

"It smells so good," Melissa sniffed the delicious aroma in the air, "Klein, you're making delicious food again." Thinking of Klein's past "luxury" and looking at the several dishes on the table, Melissa's face showed a bit of distress again, "Although now it's not as hard as before, we still have to save some money. For things like these, once a week is enough."

Klein said helplessly, "No, Melissa, twice a week is completely fine. My salary will increase in the future, so three times a week is no problem."

Ruirui listened to the warm quarrel between the brother and sister and left in silence.

Go find the injured.
