Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 288 Summoning the Real Klein
Rowling also attended the funeral of "Klein Moretti", but he did not show up at the funeral, but just watched the development of the situation silently.

Only after Zhou Mingrui hugged the Moretti siblings and walked into the crowd with relief did Luo Lin appear quietly beside him.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Lucifer. Sorry for taking so long. Now I can go back to work." Zhou Mingrui naturally noticed Luo Lin who suddenly appeared beside him. He turned his head to look at him, greeted him with a smile, and seemed to be in much better condition.

"How do you feel now?" Luo Lin looked at him and asked with a smile, with some concern in his eyes.

"It's very complicated. I feel a little relieved, as if a huge stone in my heart has finally fallen, but also a little sad... After all, I am not their real relative." Zhou Mingrui sighed, put his hand on his heart, and said with a slightly complicated expression.

"But that's not a bad thing, is it?" Luo Lin wasn't surprised by Zhou Mingrui's words. He simply looked at him and said, "The Moretti family's affection is poisonous honey given to you by fate. You can enjoy it, but with your personality, as long as you don't confess, you will always live in pain."

"Even if confessing everything will tear your soul apart and cause you unbearable pain, it will also remove the rotten flesh from the wound, allowing it to truly heal. From today on, you no longer have to suffer from this, and you will also receive the love from the Moretti family that truly belongs to you."

Luo Lin suddenly raised his hand and rubbed Zhou Mingrui's head. He smiled softly and said, "From now on, you can truly live in this world as yourself."

Zhou Mingrui glanced at Luo Lin with a slightly complicated expression after hearing this. After a second of silence, he cautiously asked, "Mr. Lucifer, are you okay?"

He was so scared by her sudden tenderness.

Luo Lin's smile paused, and then he pulled hard with his hand.

"Hiss! It hurts! My hair is about to be pulled out!" Zhou Mingrui gasped and begged for mercy: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lucifer, I was just joking. I really didn't mean to say that you are not gentle."

"Heh!" Luo Lin sneered and finally let go of his hand. Then he shook his palm and saw several hairs falling from between his fingers.

It was obvious that someone had really used some strength just now.

Zhou Mingrui felt a little distressed as he rubbed his head. Although as a faceless man, he was not afraid of being bald in theory, it would still be very scary if a patch of his hair was really pulled out.

Fortunately, although Rowling was very strong, he did not use so much force that in the end, only a few hairs fell off.

"It's okay, I'm not really bald." Zhou Mingrui patted his chest as if he was relieved.

"Your personality seems to be more lively?" Luo Lin looked at him like this, raised his eyebrows, and suddenly said coldly.

"Uh, maybe it's because my emotions are a little out of control?" Zhou Mingrui paused and said a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, I really can't control my emotions very well right now."

Luo Lin stared at him for a few seconds, making Zhou Mingrui feel a little creepy. Then he laughed and said, "I was worried you would cry and make a fuss, but now it seems you've recovered quite well."

Hearing this, Zhou Mingrui was silent for a second, then smiled with relief and said, "Actually, I feel like crying. I lost them, and a part of my soul is terribly sad. But I'm not that sad, because I have them again, as Zhou Mingrui." He was no longer Benson and Melissa's younger brother or older brother, but he was also Benson's newly recognized family member and Melissa's tacitly accepted friend of her brother. For Zhou Mingrui, this was already a good ending.

"I just feel a little sorry for Klein." Zhou Mingrui suddenly seemed to have remembered something when he said this, and looked at Luo Lin with a look of hesitation.

Zhou Mingrui suddenly thought, if Mr. Lucifer could summon his parents, then could he summon the "Klein Moretti" who unfortunately died young?

"What are you thinking about?" Luo Lin glanced at him, laughed and said.

"Mr. Lucifer..." Zhou Mingrui was clearly hesitant, but he still said, "Can I meet Klein? The former Klein Moretti?"

Luo Lin wasn't surprised by this answer. He simply looked at Zhou Mingrui and smiled, saying, "Everything has a price. If you want to meet Klein, and want him to meet his family, you can, but there must be an equal exchange. Every time he meets his family, you will have to meet your family less."

This made Zhou Mingrui hesitate for a second, but it was only a second. He smiled and looked at Luo Lin and said, "Okay, this is the price I should pay."

Luo Lin raised his eyebrows upon hearing this. Although he wasn't surprised by this answer, he stared at Zhou Mingrui for a few more seconds before saying with emotion, "You are indeed a good teacher."

"Hmm?" Zhou Mingrui was a little confused. After a moment of hesitation, he realized that the teacher the other party was referring to was probably a teacher of "humanity".

This made Zhou Mingrui feel a little embarrassed and said, "I'm just doing what I should do."

Luo Lin smiled and continued, "Let's go! Don't you want Klein to be reunited with his family? Of course, we can't reunite them here."

"Uh, why don't we summon Klein first to explain the situation?" Zhou Mingrui asked as he caught up with him.

"That's not necessary. Besides, having his family members around can help calm Klein down to a certain extent, right?" Rowling said this, and brought Zhou Mingrui back to the Moretti residence, knocking on the door.

"Who is it? Hey, Zhou Mingrui?"

The door opened quickly. It was Benson who opened it. He looked at Luo Lin at the door with some surprise. His eyes fell on Zhou Mingrui again. He asked with a little confusion, "What's wrong, Zhou Mingrui? Did you drop something? Who is this gentleman?"

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Lucifer, and I can be considered this idiot's elder." Rowling smiled at Benson and Melissa, who was following behind him, holding a coffee cup and looking towards the door. He then said:
"This idiot begged me for your help and paid a huge price for it. So, next I will summon Mr. Klein Moretti from the past to meet with you briefly. Of course, if you want to refuse, I have no objection."

"Click——"

Melissa lost her grip on the coffee and it fell to the ground, shattering into pieces. But she didn't care. She just asked anxiously, "Are you serious? Can we see Klein again?"
