Chapter 151: Return of the Earl

Chapter 151: Return of the Earl

Klein's application for special promotion was quickly approved, and this time it was verified by Lord Cecima.

"I'm surprised," Cecima said, holding a silver suitcase in her hand, with a clear smile in her tone, "You are such a genius!"

The senior deacon was truly happy that the Church of Darkness could possess such a genius.

Klein noticed the briefcase in Cecima's hand. This time, there was no need to swear on the holy relic, but Lord Cecima still carried the relic with him.

"I heard that you want to apply to become a Red Glove. This is indeed a good choice. You can get better development there. However," Cecima suddenly changed her tone and said in a serious tone, "The Red Gloves are an elite team of Nighthawks. The dangers they face are far greater than those of ordinary Nighthawks. Although you are promoted quickly, you have too little experience."

Cecima half bent over, placed the briefcase at her feet, and taught earnestly: "For the Red Gloves, the most important thing is not the sequence. If you don't have enough experience, you will easily make wrong moves when facing those dangerous extraordinary events, putting yourself and your teammates in danger."

"I suggest you stay in the Nighthawks for a year or two, accumulate enough experience, and then apply to become a Red Glove."

"Thank you very much for your advice." Klein smiled, but did not directly answer whether he accepted Cecima's advice.

Klein was well aware of the situations he would face after becoming a Red Glove, so after learning Ancient Hermetic, Giant, Ancient Elven, and Dragon, he changed Eve's nightly lessons to listening to various extraordinary events, and learned a lot of lessons.

Moreover, after many times of hunting pirates at sea, Klein has accumulated a lot of combat experience.

In addition, Klein's rich and extraordinary knowledge can make up for his lack of practical experience to a certain extent.

Cecima did not continue to persuade and sighed silently in her heart.

Geniuses are always different from others. He just hopes that Klein will not be blinded by his own talent. Cecima truly admires this young Nighthawk.

"Let's get started. Just like last time, I will test your mastery of potions in the first step."

As he spoke, Klein once again felt the same feeling as last time, sleepy but highly tense.

"very good."

As Cecima's magnetic voice fell, Klein regained his composure.

"Your level of mastery of potions is still above the excellent level," said Cecima. "The next step is to check if there are any hidden dangers in your body and mind. I believe you can pass this test easily."

Klein nodded and immediately began to adjust his state, preparing for the test in three minutes.

He secretly took a few deep breaths and used meditation to block out bad thoughts.

Cecima took out a silver pocket watch and opened it with a click. The slight ticking sound entered Klein's ears.

Three minutes later, there was another crisp sound, and Cecima closed her pocket watch.

The test has begun.

The melodious melody floated out of Cecima's mouth, echoing in the room, gradually losing its harmony and becoming a manic noise.

An uncontrollable irritation suddenly appeared in Klein's heart, as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Klein felt like his entire heart had fallen into the black mud. It was sticky, dull, and disgusting. He sank deeper and deeper, and was stepped on twice by the disgusting people as he was submerged in the black mud.

Very irritable.

It seems like he wanted to beat up Lord Cecima.

Klein looked up at Cecima with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

But before Klein finished thinking, the irritable feeling suddenly disappeared.

"You passed, but your performance wasn't as good as last time," Cecima commented.

After the irritation disappeared, Klein regained his sanity. He was surprised to find that he was actually planning how to beat Lord Cecima up without anyone noticing.

That's too bad… Even without Cecima's reminder, Klein could tell that his condition was not as good as last time. After all, Klein didn't feel anything after adapting last time, and his irritability was just pretending.

Maybe it's because of what's going to happen next… Klein sighed in his heart and thought… Fortunately, it's not serious…

The test was over. Cecima handed the potion formula and materials to Klein, gave him a few instructions, and left.

The next step is the application for Red Gloves... Klein thought silently in his heart. The promotion did not bring him joy, and the increase in weekly salary did not bring him joy.

…

The performance time of "The Return of the Count" soon arrived, and Klein returned home an hour before the performance.

After opening the door, Klein saw Melissa sitting on the sofa, carefully studying the three tickets in her hand. Even though she had been studying them for a few days, she still liked to hold the tickets in her hands and study them, as if she could see something different every time.

Benson was reading a newspaper but his eyes kept glancing at Melissa beside him, with an unconcealable smile in his eyes.

Seeing this scene, Klein suddenly felt his eyes sore, but at that moment he subconsciously used the ability of the "Joker" to cover up his abnormality.

As if nothing happened.

Suddenly, Crane hated the Joker's abilities.

He couldn't explain why, but at this moment, he hated this ability.

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

"Klein."

Benson immediately noticed Klein outside the door, put down the newspaper with a smile, and said, "Let's go now."

Melissa looked up and held the ticket tightly. "Okay, let's go."

As she spoke, she subconsciously tugged at the hem of her skirt.

The Moretti siblings all put on their going-out clothes and looked forward to the drama, which was one of the few happy moments they had had since their parents died.

It was indeed a popular play and the audience was very large.

In this era, those who could watch dramas were all wealthy, and all the gentlemen and ladies were well-dressed.

Melissa straightened her back unconsciously and took a few steps towards her brothers.

"Don't be nervous, Melissa." Klein smiled and comforted her.

"I'm not nervous," Melissa shook her head, with a hint of doubt in her tone, and said, "We're just watching a play. There's no need to be nervous."

Klein and Benson smiled and did not expose Melissa's unconscious nervousness.

They followed the crowd and quickly entered the venue and found their seats.

As the gentlemen and ladies took their seats, the red curtain slowly opened.

One character after another appears and leaves the stage, performing this drama.

Melissa and Benson were gradually attracted by the wonderful drama and their attention was completely focused on the stage.

They watched the play, and Crane watched them.

Finally the play ends and the curtain falls.

Just like people in the previous life discussed the plot after watching a movie, people in this world also discuss the plot after watching a play.

Along the way, Melissa and Benson discussed The Return of the Count, from the plot, characters to the sets.

Klein's attention was not on the play at the time, but he still watched it twice and read the original work, so he could participate in the discussion between the Moretti brothers and sisters.

The three siblings returned home chatting and laughing.

(End of this chapter)Chapter 152 I'm Not Klein

Chapter 152 I am not Klein

Klein passed the Red Gloves test very quickly and smoothly.

Like Leonard, he invited all the Night Watchmen to dinner at the Silver Crown Restaurant.

Melissa and Benson hadn't rested after he got home.

Klein chatted with Benson and Melissa for a while, and then they said good night to each other around eleven o'clock and returned to their rooms.

After returning to the room, Klein immediately locked the door.

He took out a ritual silver dagger from the drawer and injected spirituality into it. The spirituality immediately burst out from the silver dagger. As the dagger was swung, an invisible wall of spirituality quietly appeared.

Klein took a deep breath and began to prepare for the bestowal ceremony. Since he was bestowing it upon himself, he did not need so many complicated materials that would please the gods.

"A fool who does not belong to this era,"

"The mysterious ruler above the gray fog,"

"The yellow and black king who controls good luck."

"Your faithful servant begs your gaze,"

"Please open the gates of your kingdom,"

"Please give me strength."

The moment the illusory door took shape, Klein took four steps backwards and silently chanted in his heart:

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Immortal Venerable,"

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianjun,"

"Blessed be the God of Xuanhuang,"

"Blessings to the Heavenly Lord Xuan Huang."

A familiar mumbling voice entered Klein's ears, then disappeared. When he opened his eyes again, he was already sitting in a high-back chair at the head of the long table.

Klein stood up and took out all the gold pounds that he had hidden behind his high-back chair. He arranged them neatly.

Without taking the time to count, Klein put the gold pound into the "Gate of Granting", then simulated the feeling of falling and left Sefirah Castle.

The green bills lay on the altar, somewhat scattered during the giving process but still neatly arranged.

Klein removed the spiritual wall, moved the banknotes on the altar to the desk, and then hid the altar again.

After restoring everything, Klein took out the money he had on him from his pocket and began to count all his savings.

Two thousand five hundred and twenty-eight pounds six soli five pence...

Huh... Klein exhaled deeply. He never thought that he would become a small wealthy man one day.

Benson will go to Backlund to take the exam in three months... It is unknown whether they will settle in Backlund or return to Tingen until the results come out.

Klein had never consulted the divination on this issue. He always refused to consult the divination on issues that might involve Melissa and Benson's attitudes toward him.

Klein lowered his eyes, suppressed his emotions, and calculated silently in his mind:

Bella's weekly salary is five soli, which is about 4 pounds and 10 soli for four months... Klein thought as he took out four one-pound bills and a ten-soli bill and put them aside.

The rent of Number 2 Daffodil Street is 12 soli per week, and the furniture fee is 0.3 pence. For four months, the rent is 10 pounds 16 soli, and the furniture fee is 0.4 pence, a total of 11 pounds 6 pence. There should be a discount for renting for four months at a time, so deduct the 0.6 pence first.

Klein took out a ten-pound note and a one-pound note from the banknotes and put them aside.

The rent of my elder sister's apartment in Backlund should be more expensive than that of Daffodil Street, but it would not exceed one pound per week. With daily expenses, ten soli would be enough.

With this in mind, Klein took out another one-pound note and a ten-sol note and placed them aside.

There are also the daily expenses of Melissa and Benson. It would be best if Melissa and Benson did not plan to use this money... Klein thought lonely in his heart... If he maintained his current standard of living, the weekly food expenditure would be around 1 pound, which is 18 pounds. Add in the occasional small luxury and it would be 25 pounds.

The total amount is 42 pounds, and now there is 2486 pounds 6 soli and 5 pence left.

Klein carefully counted the remaining gold pounds twice, sorted them, and put them into envelopes.

He squeezed the bulging envelopes and stuffed them into the drawer.

Looking up, Klein saw the metal doll on the desk, with a look of loneliness in his eyes.

He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the doll, but stopped when he was a few centimeters away from the doll. His fingers moved slightly, his eyes full of confusion.

Finally, he picked up the metal figure.

…

the next day

Melissa had to go to school today and Benson had to go to work, so Klein booked a train ticket for the afternoon.

In the morning, he woke up early, had a quick breakfast and went to the Tingen Housing Association to submit four months' rent.

As Klein expected, there was indeed a discount for paying four months' rent in one go, and in the end Klein only paid 10 pounds and 12 soli.

After settling the rent, Klein returned home to look for Bella.

"Bella."

As soon as Klein returned home, he saw the maid Bella sweeping the floor in the living room.

"Mr. Klein?" Bella asked with a hint of doubt in her tone. She put down the broom and walked towards Klein. "What's the matter?"

Klein nodded, took out the gold pounds that had been put into the envelope, and handed it to Bella.

"I need to leave Tingen, and I'm not sure when I'll be back, so I want to pay you the next four months' salary first." Klein explained, "In addition to your salary, this envelope also contains food expenses for the next four months. We've discussed it, and the total is twenty-five pounds."

Bella was obviously frightened by Klein's actions. She opened her eyes wide and didn't dare to take it. She felt bewildered and helpless. Only after hearing Klein's explanation did she feel relieved and took the envelope.

"I hope to enjoy the last moments that belong to us, Benson and Melissa, before I leave. Miss Bella can take a day off and come back tomorrow or tonight."

Klein continued.

Bella looked at Klein with some confusion. She could stay in her room and not disturb the Moretti siblings' alone time. It was like this before. There was no need to give her a holiday directly.

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

But Bella didn't think much about it and happily accepted this unexpected vacation.

"Yes, Mr. Klein."

After Bella left, Klein climbed the stairs to his room and sent all the extraordinary items hidden in the room to the Source Castle, eliminating all traces of the extraordinary that he might have left behind.

After doing all this, the room was restored to its original appearance.

Klein took out the envelopes from the drawer, walked into Benson's room, and placed them all under Benson's quilt.

He patted the quilt and tidied it up as if he had never been there.

Klein didn't look at anything too much. He lowered his head and left Benson's room. He sat on the sofa with empty eyes, waiting for Melissa and Benson to come back.

He didn't know how long he had been waiting. During this time, he wanted to look at the clock countless times, but he restrained himself countless times. He hoped in his heart that Melissa and Benson would come back soon, but at the same time, he hoped that they would not come back.

But no matter what Klein thinks, reality will not change because of his thoughts.

He heard the door open.

The trial time has arrived!

"Klein?"

As soon as Melissa entered the room, she found Klein sitting on the sofa, looking very depressed.

Although Klein was as respectable as ever, Melissa still felt that there was an inexplicable decadence in him.

Benson also frowned. As an older brother, he knew his younger siblings very well and noticed something unusual about Klein.

Because of the Klein train schedule, Benson specifically applied to leave work early and left immediately after Melissa finished school.

"Klein, what's wrong with you?"

"Melissa…" Klein subconsciously touched his pocket, then immediately moved his hand away as if it had been burned. He turned to look at his sister Melissa and brother Benson, "Benson…"

Benson felt inexplicably uneasy, perhaps because Klein's abnormality was too obvious.

"I have something to tell you." Klein lowered his head, not daring to look at Melissa and Benson.

Although they didn't know what had happened, Melissa and Benson could clearly sense the seriousness of the situation and became anxious, not even realizing that Bella was not there.

"Klein, tell us what happened," Melissa said immediately with worry in her eyes, "We will definitely help you."

Benson had a serious face and said nothing, but he nodded immediately after Melissa finished speaking.

"I..."

Klein opened his mouth and choked up as he said, "I'm not Klein."

Melissa and Benson's minds went blank, as if Klein was talking to them in an incomprehensible language.

At this moment, he did not use the ability of "Joker".

He finally doesn't have to use his "Joker" ability anymore.

"I am not Klein." Klein repeated again. His eyes were very sore. The sadness and guilt in his heart seemed to drown him, like a tide that made it impossible for him to breathe. But in this suffocation, he actually felt relieved.

easy...

"I'm not Klein." He murmured again, and his tears finally broke through the constraints of his eye sockets and flowed down his cheeks.

Klein felt an itch on his face. He didn't know why, and he didn't want to think about it. He raised his head and looked at Melissa and Benson.

(End of this chapterChapter 153 Farewell

Chapter 153 Farewell

"Klein, what are you talking about!" Benson's eyes were filled with anxiety. He immediately stepped forward and held Klein's shoulders. "Let's go to the church or the hospital. Let's go to the church first..."

"No, I'm sober, Benson. I'm very sober." Klein raised his head and looked at Benson with determination in his eyes. "I know every word I said clearly."

"How can we possibly believe such a ridiculous thing!" Benson said immediately, his hand that was supporting Klein's shoulder shaking unconsciously.

Klein closed his eyes. He felt Benson trembling and said bitterly, "But the truth is so absurd."

"Klein, can you go to the church with us?" Benson said tremblingly, with a barely perceptible pleading in his tone, "You have been affected by an evil being, your brain is broken, and you have no idea what you are saying."

Melissa stared at Klein in a daze, her eyes full of suspicion. She looked back and forth at the man in front of her, and she looked back timidly several times, as if she wanted to see through everything, but was afraid that she had seen through the truth.

All the subtle differences of Klein in the past now appeared in front of Melissa's eyes, playing out like a drama, but now she became the character in the drama.

turn out to be...

No, impossible, impossible!

"If you are not Klein..." Melissa's eyes turned red and she said in a serious tone: "Then who are you, the real..."

Melissa couldn't continue. She knew that if the Klein in front of her was not the real Klein, if the Klein who had lived with them for a long time was not the real Klein, then the real Klein might never come back. That was a result she could not accept.

"My name is..."

Klein stared at Melissa and Benson and took a step back. As Klein stepped back, Benson's hand on his shoulder began to slowly fall.

Benson stared at him closely, watching Klein retreating. As long as he took a step forward or exerted force with his hands, he could stop Klein from retreating.

His hand passed through Klein's sleeve and landed beside him, while Klein stood just one step away from him.

"My name is Zhou Mingrui." Klein lowered his eyes and told the people of this world his real name for the first time.

"Zou, Ming, Rui?"

Melissa pronounced his name word by word, but still couldn't pronounce it correctly.

"Zhou Mingrui," Klein repeated, but he did not correct Melissa's pronunciation. Now was not the time to think about these issues. "To you, this is a very strange name, right? Because I come from a world that is completely different from yours. There, my name is not strange."

"You came to our house before you found a job..."

Melissa suddenly opened her eyes wide, and her voice trembled a little, "Klein... in that burglary..."

Benson immediately turned around and looked at Melissa in shock. His mind went blank for a moment.

"Melissa, what are you talking about? You actually believed such a ridiculous thing!" Benson asked anxiously.

"But, Benson..." Melissa choked up and said, "We've noticed it a long time ago, haven't we? You and I should have known it a long time ago, but we never thought about it."

Benson subconsciously took a step back and immediately wanted to refute, "No..."

He opened his mouth, but his voice broke after the first word.

"No..." Benson wanted to refute, but the scenes of their past together flashed before his eyes. The more he recalled and the more he verified it, the more he couldn't refute it.

"Benson, Klein…" Melissa said tremblingly, "We can't abandon Klein just because we can't accept his death!"

Benson was startled. He lowered his eyes and finally slowly closed his mouth.

Klein looked up at Melissa and Benson, then lowered his head again. The fingers hanging by his side moved unconsciously.

"Klein was also a victim of the burglary. After his death, I became Klein." He softly completed Melissa's unfinished words.

"So, you entered Klein's body after he died?" Benson spent a lot of time trying to sort out the cause and effect of the matter. He now just hoped that this was just a nightmare. After hearing Klein's words, he felt like a cannonball exploded in his mind.

Klein nodded silently, acknowledging Benson's words.

"Asshole! You are desecrating Klein's body!"

An uncontrollable rage rose up in Benson and Melissa's hearts, and he immediately raised his cane to hit Klein.

Melissa was shocked. She didn't expect Benson to take direct action. She immediately rushed forward and tried to protect Klein.

Klein saw the cane coming towards him, closed his eyes, and stood still without dodging or avoiding.

The cane stayed above Klein's head and did not fall down.

Klein opened his eyes without waiting for the heavy blow and saw the cane suspended in mid-air.

Melissa raised her hand to stop Benson, but was suddenly frozen in mid-air.

Benson raised his cane, his eyes red with anger, his hand holding the cane was shaking but he didn't attack for a long time.

He stared closely at the man in front of him, gritted his teeth and swung his cane.

"Bang!"

Klein lowered his head and stared blankly at the cane that had fallen at his feet.

"Why did you do this! Why did you do this!" Benson retracted his hand and slammed the ground heavily with his cane.

"I didn't want to either. I never thought it would be like this," Klein lowered his head and murmured, "I... I'm just an ordinary person, but I was very, very unlucky for a while, and I happened to have bought something that was said to have the ability to change luck, so I took it out and tried it out."

"But nothing happened after I tried it. I ate, washed, and slept like usual. But when I woke up, I found myself in a strange world and turned into Klein, but that thing did not come with me to this world."

Benson was speechless. He thought that the one occupying Klein's body was an evil spirit, but he didn't expect it to be an innocent ordinary person.

Melissa pursed her lips tightly, and all kinds of emotions mixed together like an overturned seasoning table.

"I also have my own parents. Although I don't have a younger sister, I have an older brother..." Klein continued.

He raised his head and walked straight past Melissa and Benson to the door.

Neither Melissa nor Benson asked him what he was going to do, nor did they stop him. Both pairs of eyes stared at Klein in front of the door and watched him open the wooden door.

An exceptionally beautiful lady stood outside the door.

Teacher Eve!

Melissa covered her mouth in surprise. For a moment, she didn't know how much Teacher Eve had heard and how she should keep this matter secret.

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

Benson also opened his eyes wide, his face full of surprise. He had met Melissa's teacher before and knew this lady.

"This is my brother," Klein turned around and introduced them. "For the same reason, he also came to this world and became my sister."

Melissa and Benson were so surprised that they were speechless. It was so unbelievable that a man turned into a woman!

"So... Teacher Eve is..."

Melissa stammered, pointing at Klein.

"Yes." Eve nodded. Although Melissa didn't finish her words, everyone present understood what she meant.

Benson sat down tremblingly on the sofa, holding his forehead with one hand, trying to sort out everything that happened today.

After a long while, Benson asked, "You come from another world, do you want to return to your original world?"

The eldest brother of the Moretti family always appeared very reliable in front of his younger siblings, but now he is so depressed.

Klein was silent for two seconds, then slowly said, "I want to."

"Although my brother has also come into this world, I still have parents, friends... and many, many more. The ones I like, the ones I hate, the ones familiar, the ones unfamiliar, are all reasons for me to go back."

"Then have you ever..."

Benson lowered his head and opened his mouth. The soreness in his eyes could not be ignored. He wanted to ask, but after opening his mouth, he found that he could not ask.

"You guys go..."

All the questions turned into the final words.

Melissa turned her head away from Klein, lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Klein looked deeply at Melissa and Benson and said, "I'm sorry."

Benson and Melissa closed their eyes and forced themselves not to look.

The footsteps became quieter and quieter

until they disappeared. Only then did they open their eyes, their red eyes revealing everything about them.

The brother and sister stood there in silence, as if they had not yet woken up from this absurd fact.

Melissa took steps with empty eyes, one step at a time, mechanically walking to the window.

She saw Klein and Eve, walking side by side on the road.

That's his family.

A tear rolled down the girl's cheek, and she finally couldn't help crying silently.

They lost Klein and they also lost Zhou Mingrui.

Benson slowly stood up and walked slowly to the window, standing next to his sister. He reached out his hand and gently wiped away Melissa's tears with a handkerchief.

Melissa pushed Benson's hand away and continued to stand at the window, watching her family leave.

Benson paused, took back the handkerchief, and stood there silently, watching his family leave.

Klein could feel the gazes of Benson and Melissa. He forced himself not to look back and walked away step by step under the gazes of Melissa and Benson.

He did not take the carriage, but simply wanted to prolong the attention from his family.

(End of this chapterChapter 154 Klein's Room

Chapter 154 Klein's Room

The roar of the whistle suddenly sounded, and a long dragon of steel snaked across the land.

Klein and Eve sat facing each other in their chairs, silence filling the space between them.

"Where's Rarity?"

Klein asked, feeling that he needed to say something to ease the current silence.

"Cats can't take the train. She had already arrived in Backlund before we got on the train." Eve replied.

"Actually, you can go back early so you can save money for your train ticket." Klein said casually. His mind was a little confused and he could only say whatever came to his mind.

Eve suppressed the corner of her mouth and said, "When we first met, I sat opposite you and looked at you like this."

Klein was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said softly, "I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault."

Eve stared at Klein, her soft black hair hanging in front of her chest, swaying slightly with his movements.

He is in a good mood now. Although he doesn't care whether Zhou Mingrui is by his side, it does not prevent him from being happy about his brother's return.

Of course, Eve knew that these emotions could not be expressed in front of Zhou Mingrui, even though they all knew it.

Klein raised his head and looked at Eve, staring into her eyes.

He had always known that Eve had a pair of beautiful and affectionate eyes, as deep as the ocean, and the deep peach blossom eyes added a bit of charm.

The smile that was always in those eyes had disappeared at this moment, and Klein's figure was reflected in his eyes.

Klein looked at Him, looked at himself in His eyes, and looked at "Klein" in His eyes.

Slowly, he looked away.

"Whether I am right or wrong in this matter, I am sorry to you, Benson, and Melissa, it is the truth."

Klein turned his head slowly. He didn't want to talk anymore. He leaned his forehead against the car window and looked at Tingen City getting farther and farther away.

There are no lights or revelry in Tingen at night. Only street lamps and a few rooms emit a faint light. A crimson veil covers the silent city, caressing every sleeping life.

Klein used the moonlight to barely see Tingen. In his sight, Tingen City became smaller and smaller until it was completely hidden in the darkness and could no longer be seen.

Even though he couldn't see, he still leaned against the window and looked towards Tingen City.

Klein leaned his forehead against the glass, and his right hand unconsciously reached into his coat pocket and stroked the metal doll.

This he took from Moretti's house.

He took a metal doll, a Klein, from the Moretti house.

Eve looked up through the window at Tingen, then looked away at Klein who was leaning against the window.

The long dragon of steel meandered across the land, whistling and tearing through the air, advancing into the night.

The whistle sounded again and the train slowly entered the station.

They arrived at Backlund, the city of hope.

Klein withdrew his gaze from the window, pulled his hands out of his pockets, and stood up by supporting himself with the seat.

Eve stood up right after Klein and got out of the car with him.

At this late hour, there was no public carriage to be found. Eve took Klein directly back to his residence in Backlund.

"Meow~"

The moment the two figures appeared in the house, Ruirui opened her eyes, squatted on the sofa and called softly.

"Good evening, Rarity," Crane responded.

"I've prepared a room for you." Eve put down her hand on Klein's shoulder, held Ruirui in her arms and said, "It's on the second floor."

After she finished speaking, Eve took two steps forward, turned around and waved at Klein, motioning him to follow. Only after she saw Klein catch up did she turn around and go upstairs.

Eve walked to the room on the left and pushed the door, which opened backwards to reveal the room.

"This is your room." Eve pointed at the room and said to Klein.

Klein took two steps forward and looked inside the room.

A bed about two meters long took up a lot of space in the room. A gray pillow lay quietly at the head of the bed. The quilt was not folded up but spread flat on the bed. Judging from the style, the pillowcase, bed sheet and quilt should be a set.

On both sides of the bed, there is a black wooden cabinet, with nothing on it. There is also a huge wooden wardrobe to the right of the cabinet on the right. In front of the bed, in front of the window, there is a desk without books.

Eve walked into the room and opened the closet, revealing the clothes she had prepared for Klein.

When Klein saw Eve enter the room, he immediately followed her and was surprised to find that Eve had even prepared clothes for him.

There are not many clothes in the closet, just two sets of pajamas, two sets of formal suits and a windbreaker.

"I thought I would have to sleep on the sofa tonight, but I didn't expect you to not only prepare a room but also clothes for me." Klein retracted the surprise on his face and chuckled, but there was a hint of guilt in his eyes.

Eve closed the cabinet door and did not respond to Klein's words. Instead, she said, "Let's go buy a cane tomorrow."

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

Klein did not take his cane with him when he left the Moretti home.

"Okay," Klein nodded, then he remembered that he had no money, and immediately added, "But I need to go to the sea to hunt pirates first."

Eve nodded to show that she understood.

"Also," Klein took out the pound he brought with him and handed it to Eve, saying, "This week's rent. We're living together now, so I can't let you pay the rent alone."

"I signed a long-term contract and will pay one year's rent at a time." Eve took the gold pound handed to her by Klein and said.

"Then give it back to me." Klein stretched out his hand and said.

"No," Eve held a one-pound note between her fingers and waved it in front of Klein. "It's family property now."

Klein chuckled and withdrew his hand. He didn't intend to take it back in the first place.

Eve smiled and stuffed the one-pound note back into Klein's pocket.

Klein was stunned and looked at his pocket. A hint of smile appeared in his eyes, but he said nothing. After all, this was the family's common property.

Eve withdrew her hand and instead pinched Klein's sleeve, half dragging him out of the room. Klein obediently let Her drag him.

"This is my room." Eve walked to the door of Klein's room and pointed to the room on the right and said, "You can come to me if you have any problems. Of course, not in the morning."

Klein knew that Eve liked to sleep in. It was the same in her previous life. She would sleep until noon on weekends.

"That's the bathroom. There's another bathroom on the right." Eve took two steps forward, walked past Klein, and opened the bathroom on the left. "You'll use this bathroom from now on. I've prepared toiletries for you."

Klein looked over and saw that the layout was very similar to Daffodil Street.

"There is also a storage room in the basement, but I have never stored anything in it. You can use it if you need it." Eve pointed downwards again and said.

Klein thought about it and realized that he didn't seem to need to store anything. After all, he already had a convenient and safe storage room like Sefirah Castle.

"You should rest first. You still have to go to the church for special training tomorrow."

"Um."

Klein and Eve said good night to each other and returned to their rooms.

He opened the door of the wardrobe, took out a set of black pajamas, washed up simply, and lay down on the bed.

Klein touched the soft bed beneath him and felt a little dazed for a moment. He turned over and stared blankly at the ceiling.

I wonder how Benson, Melissa and Eve are doing now?

Chapter 155 Message

The crimson moonlight flows like water in the quiet city, and the warm light of the gas lamp illuminates the confusion.

Melissa and Benson sat on the sofa facing each other, staring at the ground in silence.

After a long while, Benson finally spoke, breaking the suffocating silence.

"Go and have some rest. You have to go to school tomorrow and I have to go to work too."

Melissa's eyes regained some spirit, she raised her head stiffly and said in a daze: "Yeah."

The girl slowly stood up with the help of the sofa and walked towards her bedroom step by step.

Klein's room suddenly appeared in her sight, and Melissa was stunned for a moment.

The girl raised her hand and slowly stroked the wooden door. Her fair hand slid down the door and gently rested on the door handle.

She suddenly gripped the handle tightly, her hands shaking slightly.

After a long moment, Melissa closed her eyes in pain and let go of her hand.

She didn't open the room in the end.

Benson followed Melissa and looked at her. He stared at the door with complicated eyes, and after hesitating for a while, he did not push it open.

Benson turned his gaze away from Klein's room and looked at Melissa instead. He watched his sister enter the bedroom before he mechanically walked back to the bedroom step by step.

The room was dim. Benson did not turn on the gas lamp. He walked slowly to the bed, lifted the quilt, and prepared to rest.

"Pah!

" A sudden sound suddenly rang out in the room.

Benson saw something fall out of the quilt and immediately lowered his head to look at the ground. He could barely see the face of the thing in the moonlight.

It was a bulging envelope.

Benson immediately picked up the envelope and examined it in his hand.

Did he leave it behind?

Thinking of this, Benson immediately opened the envelope and took out the contents.

It's gold pounds.

Benson was stunned for a moment, then he pulled out all the banknotes, swiped through them one by one, and finally found something different among the banknotes - a piece of white paper with words written on it.

He immediately pulled out a piece of white paper, took two quick steps to the gas lamp and turned on the light.

Click, click.

The warm light illuminated the room. Benson looked at the note in his hand and saw the words clearly on it - "Zhou Mingrui".

This is... Benson stared blankly at the words on the note. This was a type of language he had never seen before, but his intuition told him that it was the language of that world, and the "Zhou Mingrui" on the note was his name.

Benson placed the envelope, banknotes, and notes on the table, then turned and walked toward the bed. He lifted the quilt and found several more envelopes.

Almost impatiently, he picked up the envelopes and opened them one by one, and found the notes with messages inside.

The rest of the note was written in Loenese. Benson read the message carefully under the light.

"It may be presumptuous for you to say this, but I still want to tell you that in my heart Melissa and Benson will always be my family."

"This money was obtained through legal means, so you can use it with confidence."

"The government employment examination system will be implemented soon, so we must prepare well..."

"I prepared some mechanical parts for Melissa..."

"Melissa…"

"you..."

"…"

Every concerned word and every advice made Benson feel extremely complicated. Klein's death had nothing to do with him, and occupying Klein's body was not what he wanted, but Benson didn't know how to face this family member who suddenly came and occupied his brother's body.

He could only continue flipping through the notes and not think about anything.

"No. 18, Minsk Street, Cherwood District, Backlund."

Benson stared at the address blankly, not reacting for a moment.

This is...his address in Backlund?

Why did he give us his address? He wanted us to write to him?

Benson stared at the note in front of him for a long time before putting it down.

He stuffed all the banknotes and notes back into the envelope, put the envelope in the drawer and closed it.

Benson covered his forehead and stared at the table with a complicated expression, his eyes revealing pain and sadness.

He is going back. It is good for both him and us not to contact him. We just hope that he can return Klein's body after he goes back.

…

No. 18, Minsk Street, Cherwood District, Backlund

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

Klein woke up much earlier than usual because he had to go to church for training.

He rubbed his eyes and felt dizzy.

Klein did not sleep well last night. He lay in bed for a long time before he could fall asleep. However, after falling asleep, he kept dreaming. There were many dreams and they were all nightmares. He wondered if a "nightmare" had come to his dream team building.

"Ha~"

Klein yawned, casually scratched his messy hair, half-closed his eyes, got up and put on his clothes.

After putting on his clothes, Klein became more awake. He rubbed his face and opened his eyes. He stared at the unfamiliar room for a moment before realizing that he had left Tingen.

Klein shook his head, straightened his clothes which were a little messy because he was wearing them with his eyes half closed, opened the door and left the room.

The house was very quiet. Klein glanced at the closed door next to him and knew that Eve might not have woken up yet, so he tiptoed down the stairs.

Klein came to the kitchen and opened the cupboard.

There were no ingredients in the cupboard, but there was a piece of white bread, two pieces of rye bread, a bag of cat food, and a bag of pet biscuits. The rye bread was not the cheap and hard rye bread that Klein had eaten before, but a round, soft loaf of bread. It was more expensive than the white bread, but the most expensive item was the bag of pet biscuits.

Humans are really worse than cats... Klein complained in his mind as he took the white bread.

He placed the white bread on the table and opened the cupboard below, where he saw several glass bottles of milk and goat's milk, as well as some snacks.

Klein walked out of the kitchen with a bottle of milk and a piece of bread.

This is his breakfast today.

After a quick breakfast, Klein stood up and subconsciously tried to grab his cane, but he grabbed nothing.

Klein was stunned for a moment, then silently withdrew his hand, pulled down his hat, and quickly walked to the door.

He opened the door and looked at the outside world.

Although the Cherwood District was considered one of the better areas in Backlund, there were still no white clouds or blue sky. The air was filled with fog, which obstructed people's vision.

Klein walked down the stairs and quickly walked to the mailbox in the courtyard and took a look.

No.

It's only been one night, the letter couldn't be delivered... Klein silently comforted himself in his heart, but he also knew that it wasn't that the letter didn't arrive, but that there was no letter at all. Melissa and Benson didn't write to him at all.

It will happen... Klein lowered his eyes and thought to himself... One day, it will happen...
