Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 110 Another Letter
Klein returned home. No one was still asleep. He quietly went upstairs and returned to his bedroom.

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

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

Klein turned over and estimated Melissa and Benson's wake-up time in his mind. After waiting for a while, he sat up.

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

"Mr. Klein?"

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

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

Bella nodded, not doubting anything.

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

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

Klein carried him to the sofa. On the coffee table was a copy of "Men's Aesthetics," which was Benson's after-dinner pastime, and Klein would sometimes read it.

He picked up the book and flipped through it while sipping tea. After they finished their tea, Melissa and Benson left the room one after another.

"Klein got up really early today."

Melissa said casually.

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

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

"Maybe," Klein said. "It's a good job, with a good weekly salary and it's easy, so I hope I can do better and be worthy of this job."

Benson nodded, then thought of his precarious hairline and said sadly, "The fact that you passed the interview and got the job proves you deserve it. If there's nothing special going on, it's best to relax."

Melissa followed suit, "Yes, Klein, you don't need to be stressed. We're already living a good life now. Although our savings are still a little insufficient, it's only a matter of time."

Klein smiled and nodded.

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

……

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

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

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

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

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

"Puff, puff."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

After hearing this, Puji's big cat eyes suddenly lit up, and he kept chirping happily, "Puji, Puji." Eve walked to the sofa, sat down, and placed the letter and box on the coffee table.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Eve looked at the boxes and opened one.

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

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

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

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

"I ate it last time."

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

Eve chuckled and turned to Little Puji, saying, "Give this letter and box to Klein. Just send them to the same place you sent them last time. Wait until 11:30 Backlund time and then deliver them there."

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

……

Klein stayed at the Blackthorn Security Company for a while, and after he recovered from his negative state, he returned home.

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

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

Inside the box were the books Klein had taken from Eve. These couldn't be discovered by Melissa and Benson. Although Melissa and Benson wouldn't enter his room without his permission, Klein still hid the books under his bed just in case.

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

This was the last one, with only a few left. Klein planned to finish reading it today and then go to Eve to exchange it for some books from the Third Age.

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

This book has a very intimidating name, but it is actually a Mary Sue novel, with many fictional families and places. After comparing it with the previous books, Klein speculated that many of the families and places in it should be based on families and places in the Quaternary Epoch.

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

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

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

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

"Where's Melissa?"

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

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

Klein felt a little strange, but he obediently didn't disturb Melissa.
