Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 146 High Sequence Cat
Backlund, Cherwood District, in a small apartment
Fors held a small mirror tightly in her hand, and with a pen, she drew the pattern Sherman had given her on the mirror, stroke by stroke. Meanwhile, Xio was writing a letter beside her.

This was the contact information of a friendly High Sequencer that Sherman had given them.

Because of the danger of the matter and her fiancé, Sherman couldn't hide directly like Fors and Xio if she was exposed to Qilingos, and it might also implicate Jessica, so she did not participate in their actions.

But she gave them this method before the two of them started investigating, and it was said that it could contact a very friendly High-Sequence Beyonder.

Fors took a deep breath, took the envelope from Xio, placed the letter and the mirror in a cabinet, and slowly closed the door.

After doing all this, Fors returned to the living room as if nothing had happened, but her pounding heart and the sweat on her palms revealed her true feelings.

A few minutes later, Fors couldn't wait to open the cabinet door.

The letter had disappeared, replaced by a blank piece of paper.

Fors picked up the white paper and saw the words "I will provide you with shelter" written in large letters.

The characters were very large, less than ten of them taking up the entire paper, and they were crooked, with the lines dancing up and down, as if written by a beginner.

How strange... Fors frowned as she looked at the words on the paper and handed the reply to Xio.

Obviously, Xio also found this strange question. She frowned and wanted to consult Sherman, but was worried about getting Sherman into trouble.

"No matter what, with a High-Sequence Beyonder willing to provide us with shelter, our safety is assured."

Although this High-Sequence Beyonder is somewhat strange...

Xio put down the letter and spoke to Fors.

Fors nodded in agreement.

Xio and Fors not only had to dodge Qilingos' pursuit, but also those official Beyonders. Their nerves were constantly on edge, and only at this moment did they finally relax a little.

"I never thought Sherman actually had the contact information for a High-Sequence Beyonder." Xio scratched his hair, a hint of envy in his tone. "Although I don't know what their relationship is, that expert is willing to protect us for Sherman. He must have a very good relationship with Sherman. I'm really enviable."

They knew something about Sherman. Sherman was different from them. She was introduced to the Extraordinary World by a High-Sequence Powerful Being and became the student of that High-Sequence Powerful Being. This start was already enviable enough.

"Why can't I have my own adventures?"

Fors leaned closer to Xio, frowned slightly, and said, "In the extraordinary world, adventures often mean danger."

Xio lowered his head and said in a daze, "I know, it's just... this way I can get the family things back sooner... I haven't seen my brother for a year..."

Fors drew a triangle on her chest and said comfortingly, "Steam is above, you will definitely get your wish."

Xio stood up straight, regaining her former dignity. She drew a crimson moon on her chest and said, "May the goddess protect me."

"May the goddess bless you."

A female voice suddenly broke in between the two of them, startling Fors and Xio.

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a black cat sitting on their cabinet.

The black cat licked the cat on its feet gracefully, combed its ears, and then shook itself off the cabinet.

The moment the black cat jumped down, Xio immediately reached out to protect Fors behind him and took two steps back with her.

The windows and doors of the apartment were locked, so how could a black cat suddenly run in?

"You were the ones who found me, yet you're so defensive now." Ruirui stretched and said casually, without any dissatisfaction in her tone.

"You are..." Fors's throat rolled, and she said in disbelief, "That High-Sequence Beyonder!"

Rarity nodded.

This situation immediately shocked the two of them. The High-Sequence Beyonder was actually a cat!

"High-Sequence Extraordinary Cat, humans are truly inferior to cats..." Fors muttered in her heart, and suddenly realized that a magical black cat was very suitable for writing into a novel.

There's material for the next book... Fors was delighted. She didn't expect such an unexpected gain.

"You can call me Rarity," Rarity said.

"We... My name is Hugh Dilcha, and this is Fors Wall." Hugh hadn't expected this to happen. Could it be that the handwriting was so strange? Just being able to write was already amazing, and...

Quinn glanced at Rarity's feet.

There are no pens designed for cats in this world.

"Fors? The writer Fors?" Rarity asked.

"Yes," Fors replied immediately, and then thought with some surprise, "Could this High-Sequence Expert be my reader? Uh... my reader is a cat? No, no, it should be that my reader is a High-Sequence cat, but it's still very strange."

"My master is your reader," Rarity said. "I'd like an autograph, please."

Owner!

What kind of owner could raise a high-sequence cat? Fors's eyes suddenly went dark, and her mouth raced past her brain. She said dazedly, "Does your owner still need a pet?"

Before Xio could recover from the shock of his "master", he was shocked again by Fors's shocking statement.

Ruirui and Xio immediately looked at Fors with a strange look in their eyes. Xio even quietly moved to the side, away from Fors.

"No, no, no, no." The looks from the man and the cat immediately made Fors react, and she immediately denied it, "I was just joking, just joking."

She cleared her throat twice and changed the subject: "Yes, of course."

"I don't have the book right now. Wait until the Qilingos incident is over before signing it," Rarity said. "That's the price I'll pay for your asylum."

Fors breathed a sigh of relief, but upon hearing the second half, her heart raced again. "This... How can this be... This price is truly disproportionate..."

"But you can't afford the normal cost of hiring a demigod," Ruirui said ruthlessly.

Fors's face flushed immediately. What Ruirui said was indeed true.

"We... can... repay it in installments..." Fors stammered. Even so, she knew that even with installments, it would be difficult for them to repay it.

"Although it's difficult for us to offer sufficient compensation," Xio said after carefully considering his words, "we still hope to repay as much as possible."

The death threat Qilingos had posed was still fresh in their minds. If this incident hadn't directly threatened their lives, they wouldn't have asked a High-Sequence Beyonder to intervene. They had to save their lives first; everything else would have to wait.

"You got my contact information from Sherman," Ruirui stood up and walked gracefully to the two of them. She raised her head and stared at them with her brown eyes. "In that case, I'll give you a discount. Do three things for me unconditionally. That will be your bodyguard fee for these days. How about that?"

"Don't worry, I won't let you do anything that harms society, nor will I let you die. But during the few days that I serve as your bodyguard, you will be responsible for my food, clothing, housing and transportation."

Xio and Fors hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.

There are limits to what two low-sequence characters can do, and Ruirui can also do what they can do. This discount is too big, but they can't offer anything else.

……

Klein received a reply from Mr. Azik, and soon received a reply from Leonard.

He was trying to hint at the existence of Nighthawk Qilingos, and according to him, there had been some success. As for the specifics, Klein didn't know.

Some time later, Klein received another letter from Leonard. Someone had anonymously reported a murder to the police, and the report cryptically indicated that the murderer was Qilingos. Because the scene was too strange, the police had handed him over to the "Manufactured Punisher." Qilingos might soon face a city-wide manhunt. He had already learned this information during the previous Tarot meeting.

Klein put down the letter and rubbed his brow.

After the incident with Qilingos was over, he should have left as well.

Klein lowered his hand and stared blankly at the ceiling, his chest heaving as he suppressed his emotions.

Boom boom boom!
There was a sudden knock on the door, and a familiar clear female voice came from outside the door.

"Klein."

Klein was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and immediately put the letter into the drawer and pressed it with a book. Then he walked to the door and opened it.

Melissa was standing outside the door, her right hand suspended in the air, as if she was knocking on the door, and her left hand hanging by her side, seemingly holding a metal object.

"What's wrong, Melissa?" Klein asked.

Melissa withdrew her hand from the air, stretched out her left hand, and spread out her five fingers.

A metal object with rectangular limbs lay quietly in the girl's palm.

"This is for you. I bought new materials," Melissa said, extending her hand toward Klein.

"Great... puppet." Klein said tentatively. He remembered that the last time Melissa made a puppet, she should make one this time.

Seeing Melissa's lips curl up unconsciously, Klein knew he had guessed right.

Klein took Melissa's metal doll and thought of Eve's ugly doll. He suddenly felt that Melissa and Eve had a destiny to be sisters.

I hope they can successfully become sisters... Klein prayed in his heart.
