Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 198 Magical Items
The members of the party left one by one under the arrangement of the "Eye of Wisdom". Eve followed the original route, passed through the dark alley and returned to the "Brave" bar.

He casually glanced around and found that Klein was nowhere to be seen, so he took the steak he had packed and left the bar.

The clamor that could not be blocked by a wooden door squeezed into the deserted street, and the noisy sounds made the night more disturbing, but after walking a few steps forward, the liveliness gradually dissipated in the night.

Before Eve arrived at the station, she saw Klein waiting there. Next to him stood an elderly man holding a horse whip. The two were chatting, and a public carriage was parked next to them.

"Klein."

Eve called out from a distance, waved to him, and at the same time quickened her pace and walked quickly into the station.

Klein turned around immediately after hearing Eve's voice. Seeing Eve waving at him, he extended a hand and waved it twice in response.

"Looks like I'm lucky." Eve said, glancing at the carriage beside them.

"Haha, miss, I'm lucky too," the man holding the whip laughed, "There are still two passengers at this time."

After saying this, he jumped onto the carriage, pointed at the carriage behind with his whip, and said, "Hurry up and get on the carriage. If you delay any longer, I won't be able to return the carriage in time."

Klein nodded and boarded the carriage with Eve one after the other.

"There are very few passengers at this time." The train was empty. Klein sat in a window seat and explained, "This gentleman knew I was waiting for someone, so he told me he could wait a while if the wait wasn't long."

Eve nodded, understanding. It was indeed difficult to pick up passengers at this hour, and from the driver's words, it could be determined that this gentleman's carriage was not his own but rented, so naturally, he would take as many passengers as possible.

In fact, most of the coachmen who are still working outside at this time rent carriages, and most of the coachmen who own their own carriages will choose to leave work early.

He sat across from Klein, also in a window seat.

The girl leaned back in the chair, a gentle breeze flowing in from the window, lifting strands of hair and swaying them slightly in front of her chest, and occasionally there were a few strong breezes that only gently caressed her cheeks.

There was a sudden rustling sound from the handbag in her hand, but Eve didn't pay any attention to it.

Ruirui poked her head out of the bag and meowed twice, as if she was a little dissatisfied with Eve's performance. Then she jumped onto Eve's legs, turned her back to her, and licked her messy fur alone.

The sound of rolling wheels reached the three of them in the silent night as they quickly rushed towards their destination.

"Sir, Miss, we're here."

This was a public carriage, but unfortunately the coachman did not pick up the other passengers and let them experience the feeling of chartering a carriage.

After paying the taxi fare, Eve and Klein returned home. He placed the packed steak on the dining table, found Ruirui's small bowl from the cupboard, and poured the soup into it.

Then, the girl fell onto the sofa and sank into it.

"Aren't you going upstairs to rest?" Klein asked after putting his cane away and seeing Eve slumped on the sofa. "No," Eve stood up, took off her shoes, and put her feet on the sofa. She lay back down, her hands behind her head, her eyes closed, and said, "I'll wait for Rarity."

Klein lowered his gaze to the cat elegantly eating at the table. He couldn't help but think, "Both cats and vampires are nocturnal animals, right?"

"Then I'll go rest first. You should go to bed early too." Klein thought to himself but immediately retracted his thoughts and said.

"Yeah," Eve replied. She then propped herself up on the sofa, raised her upper body slightly, looked at Klein, and asked, "When are you planning on going to 8 Williams Street?"

Klein paused, then returned to his original position. He paused for two seconds, then said thoughtfully, "Well... if you're in a hurry, I can go after get off work tomorrow."

"It's not urgent," Eve put her hand back and laid her upper body back on the sofa, "and you have plans after get off work tomorrow."

"Ok?"

"Someone left a message in your notebook, hoping to meet with Mr. Sherlock Moriarty at 5 p.m.," Eve explained, then complained, "You're really going to lose a lot of commissions if you're always away from the office like this."

"And if things continue like this, I'm worried you'll become the second weird story on Minsk Street."

"The second strange story?" Klein asked with some curiosity. "What was the first one?"

Eve looked up at Klein, raised her hand lazily, pointed at the window, and said, "Number 18 Minsk Street, where the curtains are never opened."

Then, He pointed at Klein and continued, "Mr. Moriarty, who is always away from home."

"If you keep going like this, the neighbors will start to suspect you're some suspicious person, Mr. Sherlock."

Uh… Although what Eve said was right, he didn't have any good solution at the moment.

"A Sequence Five 'Master of the Puppet' could solve this problem, but I'm only at Sequence Seven. My digestion progress has slowed down since arriving in Backlund. Furthermore, since I've only been in training and haven't participated in any missions, even if I digested the potion, I wouldn't have enough contribution points to exchange for it."

"But..." Klein glanced at Eve on the sofa and said thoughtfully, "I can buy potions myself and advance secretly, and then find a way to go through the official process with the church. But that way I'll have to drink and digest the potion twice."

"I have a way to save you from digesting the potion twice," Eve snapped her fingers, and said with her eyes closed, "I have a magical item with strong purifying power that can help you expel excess Beyonder characteristics from your body."

"Expel the Beyonder characteristics from the body?" Klein lowered his head and said thoughtfully, "If all Beyonder characteristics are expelled from the body, can I drink potions from other non-adjacent pathways?"

"No," Eve sat up on the sofa with her hands, her upper body lazily sinking into the pillows. "Once the Beyonder characteristics are expelled from the body, the body structure modified by the potion will not be restored. After drinking a potion from a non-adjacent path, it will still lose control."

"Also, Extraordinary people are more likely to encounter extraordinary events than ordinary people, even those who were once Extraordinary people."

Klein nodded. This meant that if a Beyonder tried to use the Expulsion attribute to resume ordinary life, it would be doomed to fail.
