Klein was sure that there couldn't be two "Devils" in this tarot deck. He had already flipped through the deck before Nimrod came in, and hadn't seen any repeated tarot cards.
However, he still said tactfully: "Well... maybe there is something wrong with this tarot card. Do you want me to ask Ms. Angelica to change a copy and do divination again?"
"No, you don't need to."
Nimrod shook his head and rejected Klein's question. Considering the Celestial Master he carried with him and his "wrong" identity, he probably knew why this happened:
"I think this is also a part of fate - I quite like the meaning of the reversed devil. Getting out of trouble is indeed a good future."
Klein nodded and smiled politely. "You're right. The presence of two 'Devil' cards in a deck of tarot cards may indicate some extraordinary factors."
Ninglu nodded slightly, and he moved slightly to the back, brewing his tone to make it sound more like a relaxed conversation:
"Mind chatting with me for a minute?"
Chat? Klein didn't refuse, but just nodded. Seeing Klein's performance, Nimrod paused and said:
"Come to think of it, you seemed a little embarrassed when you mentioned Russell Gustav's invention just now?"
Uh... Klein didn't expect that Ningluo would ask such a question first, and he felt a little uneasy for a moment.
Could it be that someone in this world has already figured out that the Great Emperor's works were copied... No, plagiarized... No, that's not right either, they were borrowed?
Great Emperor! How can I save your image?
Klein thought for a while, exhaled slowly, and said to Nimrod:
"You know, when a person has too many achievements, people will always wonder if there are elements of his achievements that were added by later generations. For example, in philosophy and invention, people will often attribute other people's things to the celebrity."
"…I see." Ning Lu nodded thoughtfully. As expected, Klein looked at him and felt that he lacked the tactfulness of the Loen people. He couldn't help but speak:
"Your expression just now seemed a little strange...why?"
Hearing Klein's question, Ningluo smiled:
"Because of the reason you just gave, well, because I know that what you just said was borrowed by Russell from someone else..."
Klein's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He casually lowered his voice and asked, "How can you be sure that Roselle borrowed it?"
"...Fate often guides those who obey." Nimrod said slowly: "Roselle did not change a word, fellow, I am a 'decryption scholar', I was able to determine your identity when I saw you."
"To those who don't know our world, we are just a little out of place with the world around us, but for me, I can see the strong foreign 'traces' on you at a glance."
When Klein heard what Nimrod said, his heart suddenly started beating wildly.
He had a hard time suppressing the words that he wanted to blurt out, but his cautious nature made him hesitate to take the final step and ask, "Are you a time traveler too?"
I can't say that there are extraordinary people in this world. I have just arrived in this world and I don't know if the extraordinary people in this world know about the things related to the time travelers. I don't know their attitude towards the time travelers...
Like the senior time traveler, Russell Gustav, his final ending was not good either...
He hasn't spoken the language of our world yet, so I have to be careful...
Klein warned himself in his heart, but the next moment, a voice really fell directly into Klein's ears:
"I didn't know if you were Chinese, so I didn't speak to you directly in my native language."
"But there is one thing that only people from our world would know. What color do you think the moon is?"
Klein suddenly raised his head, and Ningluo continued:
"I remember that the moon was white. Just like what the poem said..."
"The moon shines brightly before my bed."
"… bow your head and think of your hometown."
…
[My fellow man, you are truly a born liar. ]
Tianzun's voice came softly into Ningluo's ears. Although it was soft, it sounded like a vicious curse:
[I look forward to the moment when my heir sees you betray him.]
…
"Hey man, your name is 'Nimrod'? I remember this is a name in mythology, the King of the Tower of Babel (Note 1)?"
In the cafe, Klein's tone was filled with excitement as he spoke to Ningluo, who was sitting quietly in front of him.
Although he knew that Ning Lu was from the same hometown as him, he still suppressed the strong excitement in his heart at that time. After agreeing with him to meet in the cafe in the evening, he completed the original plan for this afternoon step by step. By the way, he took a carriage to tell Benson and Melissa that he would not go home for dinner tonight.
During this time, what concerned Klein the most was that Leonard told him something about the "Antigonus Family Notes," which made him a little wary of Leonard.
"Ninglu, the Lu of Fulu."
Ningluo took a sip of coffee and said to Klein in front of him:
"After I traveled through time, I didn't like the name of the original owner of this body. In addition, the original owner's father died early and he had no memory of his mother, so I decided to use my original name again. Coincidentally, my first and last name combined don't sound too abrupt when read here, and this allows me to often recall the past."
"I see…"
Klein nodded gently, exhaled, and a slight smile appeared on his face:
"In fact, I didn't expect to see other 'travelers' here. I don't know if you know this, but I know that I have only found Emperor Roselle as my fellow countryman."
"Roselle... I investigated some things related to him and collected some of his diaries. It's a pity that they were packed up and taken away a few days ago. Otherwise, I would be able to show you Roselle's diaries now." Ning Lu put down the coffee cup in his hand and showed an unpredictable smile on his face:
"Believe me, when you get to know Roselle's affairs in depth, you will have completely different ideas from now."Chapter 17: BluffTitle of the Book: Mystery: I jump back and forth between two timelines Author: Half Moon Tiger Chapter word count: 2065 words Update time: 2025-05-14 00:30:00
Klein scratched his head. He didn't understand what Nimrod meant, but he didn't care about this little episode. He asked him:
"Come to think of it, when did you come here? What path of Beyonder are you from? Your Beyonder Sequence seems to be quite high... Ah, I just asked casually. If it's inconvenient, there's no need to say it."
"It's not inconvenient." Nimrod shook his head and gave a vague number:
"I just traveled to this world about ten days ago. The reason why I can have extraordinary abilities of this sequence now is because I traveled directly into the body of an extraordinary person when I traveled."
"As for the path, haha, I am a Beyonder of the 'Thief' path."
"Thief", ten days ago… He traveled through time only slightly later than I did… Klein's heart tightened, and he asked tentatively:
"Do you know what Roselle wrote in his diary? If he could choose again..."
——What he wanted to inquire about were the three paths mentioned in "Roselle's Diary": "Apprentice", "Fortune Teller" and "Thief".
The two were in a private room in the cafe, which was sealed by a spiritual wall, so they didn't have to worry about whether others could hear what they were saying. Ningluo tapped the table in front of him with his fingers as if thinking, and slowly said:
"Yes, this involves a very important extraordinary theory. Haha, maybe it is also related to the secret of our time travel."
At this point, Ningluo smiled and said calmly to Klein in front of him, "We all come from the same place, so I don't want to lie to you. But I have to tell you in advance that I want to return to our original world, and I will not give up on continuing on this extraordinary path."
Klein was stunned for a moment, and a hint of embarrassment suddenly appeared in his tone: "Uh, isn't it too early for us to talk about this now? We don't even know how to get back..."
"Morning? Not early." Ning Lu sighed softly:
"I want to be a friend with you who can trust each other, so I want to tell you these things. I can see that you think the same as I do and want to go home - but what if only one of us can go back?"
Ningluo "seriously" propped up the table with his arms and said to Klein:
"I'm not sure if I can make it to the end, but one more person means one more chance. If I fail, I hope you can bring me back to our original world. The same goes for the other side. If I succeed, I will also try my best to bring you back to the world before you crossed over."
"Your trust in me now is just a result of seeing a fellow countryman's love for me in a foreign land. I don't want to use you in this way. Friendship maintained by lies is just a bubble in the water. But friendship based on the same interests and positions is the most lasting friendship."
[Ha, I don't want to use you.] Tianzun suddenly made a sharp comment in Nimrod's ear, as if mocking Nimrod's lies.
——Unlike Zhou Mingrui, Ning Lu is a genuine "time traveler" rather than a "survivor of the old days."
Klein listened quietly to Nimrod's words and understood the hidden meaning in his words.
After a while, he nodded gently and said to Nimrod:
"Okay, I see what you mean."
At this point, a smile suddenly appeared on Klein's face:
"However, we really should talk about these things clearly, otherwise, there will always be a hidden grudge between us."
"Huh, it seems like I'm pretty lucky. The first fellow villager I met is a nice person..."
Listening to Klein's words that seemed to be spoken with some emotion, Ning Lu also smiled: "Speaking of which, I was originally going to invite you to my house directly, but after thinking about it, I realized that firstly, it was not convenient, and secondly, we just met, so it's not suitable for each other, so I invited you to this cafe."
"Yeah, I understand."
Klein nodded, indicating that he understood what Nimrod said. After knowing that Nimrod was a fellow villager, Klein's behavior became more like that of Zhou Mingrui. He used the knife and fork in front of him to cut a piece of butter bread in front of him, put it into his mouth, and said vaguely:
"By the way, how did you travel through time? Perhaps we can share each other's information about time travel, and perhaps we can find the secret of time travel from it."
"Me?" Nimrod said, "My journey through time was very simple. I saw a gray mist, and then I appeared in this world. When I came to this world, I was already a 'cryptologist'."
"'Cryptologist'?" Klein keenly noticed this sequence name he had never heard of. "You just said that you are a Beyonder of the 'Thief' path? What sequence Beyonder did you travel to?"
Ningluo smiled as if his plan had succeeded, as if he was quietly showing off:
"Sequence seven, currently digesting the potion again."
Did you draw a European emperor account?
Damn Europeans!
This thought suddenly emerged in Klein's mind. He thought about it secretly in his heart, but the next moment he heard Ningluo say:
"However, this is also a pitfall profession - can you believe it, Lao Zhou? According to the information I know now, high-level Beyonders in the 'Thief' path will actively or passively hunt down low-sequence Beyonders. This is why I am worried that I won't be able to make it to the end."
"You've also seen Roselle's diary. You should have some guesses about the 'True God'..."
Ningluo sighed and continued to fool Klein:
"From the information I have obtained, even ordinary people can ascend to true gods by taking magic potions step by step, but becoming a true god may require some special conditions."
At this point, Ningluo deliberately revealed a solemn tone:
"I suspect that there is already a being close to godhood in the 'Thief' path. Perhaps he can become a god only after hunting down all the extraordinary people of the same path, or perhaps he is eliminating obstacles to his own godhood."
"After all, there is only one deity for each path."
——Nimrod certainly knew the information in the original book, but he had to say the information that was consistent with his current identity.
Compared to Klein the Fool, who is currently only at Sequence Nine, Nimrod is now a Sequence Seven Beyonder. The information he is exposed to may contain information about higher-level people, but it is bound to be full of errors and omissions.
Nine truths and one lie, only in this way can we deceive the future "fools".Chapter 18 HintTitle of the Book: Mystery: I jump back and forth between two timelines Author: Half Moon Tiger Chapter word count: 2065 words Update time: 2025-05-14 22:02:11
From this perspective, his current situation might be even worse than mine... Being hunted by a High-Sequence Person from the same path is definitely a start from hell!
However, I may encounter this kind of situation in the future through the "Fortune Teller" path, so I have to be careful and prepare early...
Some inexplicable thoughts emerged in Klein's mind, and he suddenly felt that what Nimrod had said before, "I might not make it to the end," contained some deeper meaning. He exhaled lightly and said tentatively:
"Do you need to contact the church? Maybe I can help you think of a solution?"
"Hmm…it seems like you have some connections. Have you joined the church?" Ningluo shook his head slightly, rejecting Klein's kindness. "Not for now. I have already joined an organization, and the church may not accept a Sequence 7 wild Beyonder, who is a dangerous 'thief' in every sense."
"Okay." Klein nodded with some regret. With the idea of helping each other and curiosity at work, he said, "By the way, what organization did you join?"
"Aurora Society."
Klein took a sip of coffee. This was within his expectations. "Oh, the Aurora Club…"
Was this what he expected? ! !
But suddenly, Klein raised his head abruptly, and looked at Ning Lu in front of him with a tone of disbelief, his voice breaking for a moment: "...Aurora Society?"
Is this right?
If he remembered correctly, wasn't the Aurora Society the organization that Captain Dunn had mentioned before that reported Old Neil's belief in the evil god?
He still remembered that after talking about things related to Old Neil, the captain specifically reminded him that the members of the Aurora Society were either insane lunatics or lunatics who appeared normal but were actually crazy, but this "fellow countryman" in front of him... could he also be a hidden lunatic?
Am I already in a dangerous situation?
"Don't worry. I know what you're worried about." Ning Lu nodded gently and took a sip of coffee, letting the bitter aroma of the coffee enter Klein's mouth:
"I haven't heard the True Creator's mumbling since I crossed over. Whenever I have to pray to the True Creator, I see a gray mist emerging in front of me, isolating the True Creator's prayers."
——Ninluo had already thought of an excuse to say that he had also seen the "gray mist". Otherwise, he would not be able to explain that he was not a lunatic... This was the bad reputation of the Aurora Society.
On the other hand, Ningluo was not worried that Klein would be afraid of him and become hostile to him because he also controlled the gray fog:
"Also, aren't you going to ask me about what happened before I traveled through time? I saw a novel on the Internet at the time. In that novel, there was a title for a high-ranking being ending with '...Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun'. I tried to recite it according to the method mentioned above, and I was unexpectedly sent here."
At this point, Nimrod sighed:
"Unfortunately, after traveling through time, I once doubted whether my travel through time was due to this high-ranking being. I also tried to chant the mantra in the same way as before traveling through time, but I didn't discover anything new or gain anything. Every time I chanted, I could only see a gray mist..."
——On this basis, if I tell Klein the fact that I "cannot climb into the gray fog", Klein will figure it out himself.
The honorific name he knew before he traveled through time should also be the four words related to "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun". However, after reciting those four words and performing the "lucky change ceremony", he should be able to enter the mysterious gray fog space... Klein brought the coffee cup to his lips, savoring the bitterness of the coffee while thinking.
But suddenly, Klein's arm stiffened for a moment.
--etc.
Ten days ago, I had already reached the gray fog space. The reason why he couldn't enter the gray fog space couldn't be that there was an extra "Yellow and Black King who controls good luck" above the gray fog, right?
"What's wrong?" Ningluo asked Klein in front of him in confusion.
Klein suddenly felt a little sweaty. He slightly shifted his gaze and controlled his expression.
"…It's okay. I was just thinking that before I traveled through time, I also chanted the name of 'Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun'. Perhaps, I also have the protection that this traveler has."
"Perhaps, Emperor Roselle came here because of something similar - then can we now be sure that the reason we came here was because of that 'Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun'?"
At this point, Klein's eyes became hot again, as if he had found hope of returning home.
"It should be. Haha, it's almost time. We should go back." Ning Lu took out his pocket watch from his arms and checked the time. He took out a business card, put it on the table and slowly pushed it to Klein:
"Although you didn't admit that you joined the church, no matter what, even if it's not the church, you should have joined some extraordinary organization now. Otherwise, it's impossible for your financial conditions to suddenly improve and spend a huge amount of money to join such a club."
"But I guess you must have signed some kind of confidentiality agreement - so I won't force you to say these things and make you lose your job. But I guess that the Storm Church has a poor attitude towards wild Beyonders, so you should have joined the Night Church?"
You're right. If I hadn't joined the Church of Evernight, I would still be struggling to make a living... Klein thought to himself, his face suddenly changed. "Wait, how do you know my financial situation..."
"Have you forgotten? I am a 'decryption scholar'." Ningluo said casually: "The Beyonders of the 'Thief' path can sense valuable things, and their observation ability will also be improved after the sequence is upgraded. And you..."
Nimrod shook his head, glanced at Klein, and made a "tsk" sound, stopping what he was about to say.
Even the place where Klein put his wallet was not marked with a red dot by Excellence Observation.
It seems that everything is self-evident.
——What do you mean! Why are you looking at my wallet? Noticing where Nimrod's eyes were focused, Klein suddenly felt a little embarrassed and annoyed, and he wanted to crawl directly into the crack in the ground.
But the next moment, his eyes fixed on the business card that Ning Lu pushed to him. The embarrassment on his face suddenly disappeared, and a little cold sweat couldn't help but flow down his forehead.
On the blank space of the business card, a line of beautiful Chinese characters was written in pen:
"You can tell your organization about seeing me."
"But don't make a sound, someone is watching us."
"I suspect that a conspiracy is brewing in this city."Chapter 19 Testing "Tian Zun"Title of the Book: Mystery: I jump back and forth between two timelines Author: Half Moon Tiger Chapter word count: 2389 words Update time: 2025-05-15 00:30:00
Klein's eyes suddenly became serious when he saw the words on the business card. Many thoughts emerged in his mind at that moment, but he did not show his thoughts on his face. He just smiled and said to Ning Lu in front of him:
"I see. I'll come find you later."
"Besides, I have something else I need to tell you." Nimrod said something to Klein in an extremely calm voice that stunned Klein:
"The Aurora Society is currently preparing to hold a 'God's Descent Ceremony' in Tingen City, using the lives in this city to allow the 'True Creator' to descend to this city."
Having said this, Nimrod said to Klein sincerely:
"I am not a fanatic believer of the True Creator. People of our time, as long as they have normal values, would not help the evil and assist the True Creator in descending. It just so happens that I have a certain position in the Aurora Society. I will do my best to stop the Aurora Society's God-descending ceremony."
Stop the Aurora Society's God's Descent Ceremony? You're really a double agent...
However, this is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing. Now I don't envy him at all for traveling to a Sequence 7 Beyonder… There are also divine messengers in the Aurora Society, and the sequences of those divine messengers may even be higher than the captain's…
Klein thought silently in his heart, and a little respect emerged in his heart for Ningluo's risking his life to pass on the message. He spoke to Ningluo in Chinese that only two people (Tianzun was not considered a human) could understand:
"Old Ning, you must be careful. The organization I belong to has received news that Mr. L, the envoy of the Aurora Society, is contacting the Church of the Night and seems to be making some arrangements."
"Even if you have a certain status in the Aurora Society, you still have to be careful. Most of the members of the Aurora Society are crazy, and that 'Mr. L' should be the craziest one!"
After saying that, he exhaled, picked up the coffee in front of him, and prepared to drink it in one gulp.
Klein hesitated for a long time and only mentioned his own organization vaguely. He told Nimrod in front of him what he knew about the Aurora Society's messenger, hoping to help this fellow who "endured humiliation and bore heavy burdens."
For a moment, the look he gave Nimrod even showed a hint of heroism.
However, Nimrod's expression became a little strange, and his expression twisted:
"…I am Mr. L."
"ah?"
Klein raised his head and spoke to Nimrod in confusion. For a moment, he even forgot to drink the half-opened coffee. There was an obvious confusion on his face, and his eyes seemed to be asking what Nimrod was talking about.
"I am Mr. L."
Nimrod said to Klein in front of him:
"You're actually overthinking it. My current situation is not too dangerous because I am now the highest leader of the Aurora Society in this city."
"Also, the reason why I didn't stop the ceremony directly is that there is more than one envoy in the Aurora Society. There is also Mr. Z, codenamed 'Z', stationed here. Stopping the ceremony will inevitably arouse suspicion. Therefore, I can only provide some help to the local church temporarily."
Nimrod told part of the truth.
Klein and Ningluo looked at each other in silence, and everything seemed to be written in each other's eyes.
Klein curled his lips and said, "You really just traveled through time ten days ago? ... And you took control of the Aurora Society in Tingen in ten days?"
"A Sequence 7 Beyonder is not a complete lone wolf. After I traveled through time and space into the body of this Beyonder, I have become a divine messenger."
Ningluo shrugged his shoulders and spoke to Klein in front of him, switching to Loenese:
"It's time to go, Klein. Remember to think about what I told you. We can get together again at this time next Saturday."
"Also, my business card has my real address on it. If you have any questions, just send the letter to this address."
"...Okay, see you next Saturday." Klein suppressed the unspeakable thoughts surging in his chest and calculated the time briefly. After making sure that he had nothing to do next Saturday, he spoke to Ning Lu.
The two walked out of the cafe side by side. Klein got on the carriage and slowly exhaled:
"What an incredible encounter…"
Suddenly, Klein's heart moved. He lifted the window of the carriage beside him and looked out.
Ning Lu, who was wearing a well-fitting suit, maintained a faint smile on his face, and his body seemed to blend into the shadows on the street.
Several black shadows emerged from the shadows in an inconspicuous manner, bent over and approached Nimrod, seeming to say something to him devoutly.
…
"Mr. L, this is what you want. We also obtained the extraordinary formula of the 'Hunter' path through Mr. A's channel. I will give it to you after returning to the Lord's pasture." Mr. Z held an exquisitely wrapped bag in his hands and respectfully handed it to Ningluo in front of him with both hands.
Ning Lu took the bag, casually looked through the specially made clothes inside, and returned it to Mr. Z:
"Just put it on my desk. Also, Mr. Z, has the Church of Darkness started to take action now?"
"...According to the feedback from our fellow pagans who were sent to monitor the Church of Darkness, the pagans are currently conducting some secret investigations and seem to be confirming something."
Mr. Z's tone was full of admiration:
"Mr. L, you have effectively struck a blow to the power of the Night Pagans with just one letter! The Lord's followers are now more free to act. Now we only need to worry about the siege launched by those disgusting Storm Pagans from time to time. I shouldn't have doubted you before! It's because my loyalty to the Lord is far less than yours. Ah, praise the Lord, we should..."
Seeing that Mr. Z was about to continue talking, Ningluo quickly interrupted Mr. Z:
"We should go back, Mr. Z. We can't waste time on the road. This is a blasphemy against the Lord who bears sin."
"...Okay, I understand. I will pay attention next time."
Mr. Z's words came to an abrupt end, but Nimrod could still guess from his fanatical eyes that he was still praising the true Creator in his heart.
After getting on the carriage, Ningluo once again thought about what he had done in the past few days:
With the help of the Aurora Society, he obtained the extraordinary formula of the next sequence and extraordinary weapons of the level equivalent to sequence five;
He began to seduce Heinus Vincent and tried to steal the faith of the true Creator;
Get a special suit from Sirius, and fill it with extraordinary materials to take to Koldu Village;
Contact with Klein, and make him think that he is his "fellow countryman"...
Now the two saints of the Aurora Society were temporarily held back by Ince Zangwill, and there might be an accident caused by Adam. At present, Nimrod was not sure whether he could get the extraordinary weapon before "crossing" the timeline.
But just as Nimrod was thinking, a gray mist slowly emerged beside him, causing Nimrod to suddenly raise his head.
[Compatriots.]
The figure of the Heavenly Lord appeared in the gray mist, looming. His tone was slightly teasing, as if he was unaware of the contents written on the business card that Nimrod had handed to Klein:
[My successor is divining you - it seems that he wants to tell your secret to the Church of Darkness.]
[Heh, how does it feel to be betrayed? ]
Ningluo's mouth curled up slightly, and he slowly uttered four words:
"It was expected."
Sure enough, Tianzun can only hear the sounds he hears and see what he sees.
...The words on that business card were written by myself deliberately avoiding my own gaze.Chapter 20 Preparing to ReportTitle of the Book: Mystery: I jump back and forth between two timelines Author: Half Moon Tiger Chapter word count: 2049 words Update time: 2025-05-15 21:47:41
Above the gray fog, the seemingly eternal gray fog was flowing quietly. Klein sat at the starting point of the stone table, gently pressing his chin with his hand, thinking silently.
Just today, he met a rare fellow countryman for the first time in this lonely foreign world, and for the first time in this world he regained a little of the familiar feeling he once had on Earth.
——However, the identity of this fellow countryman was beyond Klein's expectations. He was the "God's Messenger" of the Aurora Society, a powerful Beyonder of Sequence 7, and a great figure that was out of reach in the eyes of Klein, who had just joined the Church of Evernight and became Sequence 9.
"...Let's do some divination."
Klein's mind once again flashed back to the two lines of words written on the business card that Ningluo had given him in the coffee shop. He stretched out his right hand and let the pure silver pendulum hang downward. The same words echoed above the gray fog:
"Telling Captain Dunn about Nimrod's news will bring me good development..."
"Telling Captain Dunn about Nimrod's news will..."
"Tell Nimrod the news..."
Klein murmured in a low voice, and the same sentence echoed above the gray fog seven times. Finally, Klein looked at the direction of the pendulum's rotation, slowly put away the pendulum, and made a decision after a moment of mental struggle:
"The result of divination is that it can bring me good development... Tomorrow, um, tomorrow I will report this matter to Captain Dunn!"
"I need to think about what else I need to hint to Captain Dunn. Yes, the business card Nimrod gave me said someone is watching us...hiss! Could it be related to the Antigonus family's notebook?"
"Could it be that someone planned everything from my death to my death?!"
Thinking of this possibility, Klein felt a little toothache for a moment, and a little cold sweat dripped down his back. However, he did not stay in the gray fog for too long. After completing the divination, he returned to the real world and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Klein stretched his muscles and struggled to get up from his bed, exhausted from staying up all night to divine. After a simple wash, he came to his own dining table.
"Klein, it looks like you had a good time last night. Did you meet your old friends?" Benson was sitting at the dining table, cutting bread with a knife and fork and spreading butter. He smiled and greeted Klein.
"yes."
Klein smiled and sat down.
"Well... He's a friend we met before we moved. I haven't seen him for several years. I didn't expect that he has become a decent man."
"You're doing pretty well now, Klein." Benson comforted Klein.
"Now that you have a new job and an income, you are much more mature and confident than before. I think you can become one of these respectable people in the future."
Listening to Benson's words, Klein understood in his heart that Benson was worried about his inferiority complex - before he traveled through time, Klein Moretti's living conditions during college were not good.
Compared to other classmates, because the Moretti family only had their father's pension and the meager salary that Benson earned from working hard to support Klein's college education, Klein could be said to be quite frugal when he was in school.
Thinking of this, Klein couldn't help but sigh again in his heart:
If I hadn't traveled through time, then Klein Moretti's suicide at the table on the eve of the interview would definitely have dealt a heavy blow to Benson and Melissa...
Klein paused for a moment deliberately, and when Benson looked at him, he changed the subject:
"By the way, Benson, I will meet with my friend again at this time next Saturday. You know, I am currently working at the Blackthorn Security Company, and his job is similar to mine. Perhaps we will have more interactions in the future."
Hearing Klein's words, Benson nodded:
"You are right. The friendship you had in school is indeed a good bond for you two... But Klein, I need to remind you that you must make a good judgment before making a decision, otherwise you will most likely fall into the abyss of despair."
"After all, well, my job is to deal with all kinds of people, and for some people, friendship and affection are just part of making a profit."
Benson explained.
"I understand. I will be cautious enough." Klein said with a smile, "I'm certainly not as stupid as a curly-haired baboon. I will think carefully before making a decision."
After saying that, Klein watched Melissa, who seemed reluctant to ride a carriage to school and wanted to save some living expenses, get on a public carriage and say goodbye to Benson at the street corner.
Walking to the gate of Blackthorn Security Company, Roxanne, who was sitting behind the reception desk with some boredom, came into Klein's sight. Klein pursed his lips, and suddenly felt a mixture of emotions in his heart.
Alas, Old Neil... Before, when he was teaching me about the mysterious world, I didn't even know much about him. Although being reported as "believing in evil gods" and having a "tendency to lose control" was a good thing for him...
At least he won't really lose control...
I just don't know where Nimrod got the information about Old Neil?
Perhaps it was information obtained from the Aurora Society?
Just when Klein was thinking about things related to Old Neil, Roxanne had already noticed Klein's figure. She waved at him lively:
"Klein, why don't you come in?"
Klein sighed slightly and walked into the hall before speaking to Roxanne in front of him:
"Just now, I was thinking about Old Neil. If he hadn't left us, I would have been learning about the mysterious world from him today."
"If he didn't leave us... why does this sentence sound so strange?" Luo Shan muttered:
"Ah, now that you mention it, I also miss Old Neil a little bit... But I heard from Captain Dunn that this might be the best ending for Old Neil. Otherwise, maybe it won't be long before Old Neil completely loses control..."
