Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 215 Demon Dog

"Boom boom boom!"

The short knock on the door echoed in the empty room, gently striking Klein's nerves. He immediately stood up, walked quickly to the door, and opened it.

"Captain Soest!"

A gentle-looking man stood outside the door. It was Soest, who had separated from Klein not long ago.

Klein looked up and down at Soest. The man had no other scars on his body except for the wounds he suffered in the factory. His uniform had a few damages, but he didn't look disheveled.

Although MI9 stopped the Red Gloves, as an official organization, they could not have physical conflict with each other. Otherwise, Klein would not be able to sit peacefully in St. Samuel's Church waiting for his teammates.

Klein lifted the briefcase he had been holding and handed it to Soest. "Captain, the manuscript."

Soest took the manuscript, patted Klein on the shoulder, and said with satisfaction, "You performed very well on your first mission as a Red Glove. I was worried that young people like you would be impulsive and disobey orders."

"Maybe it's because I'm a bit old-fashioned?" Klein said jokingly.

Soster smiled and lowered his gaze to look at Klein's torn uniform and bandaged wound. He said, "It looks like the wound has been bandaged. You can ask Dina for some potions tomorrow. The torn uniform can be reimbursed, but you'll have to wait until tomorrow. You know, there are only a few combatants in the church right now."

Reimbursement is a good system. Klein once again sincerely praised Emperor Roselle.

"You go back first," Soster said, moving sideways to make way for Klein. "I'll be the only one left. Let's go home."

Klein nodded, straightened his clothes, and walked out. Inside the church, he saw several teammates whose wounds had already been bandaged.

From their mouths, Klein learned the general situation.

After Klein left, MI9 tried to break free from the Red Gloves and chase after them. However, since neither side was in a position to take action, they could only remain in an awkward stalemate. Finally, the brown-haired officer named "Mike" arrived and ended the farce.

After a brief chat, Klein left the church.

……

Backlund Cherwood District
The sky had already fallen completely into darkness, like the deepest hue on a canvas. The crimson moon and streetlights illuminated the street, not as bright as the daylight, but possessing a gentleness and depth of their own.

The light overflowing from the houses shines through the windows and onto the streets, which is both a call and a guide.

Klein walked through the night, step by step closer to the light that awaited him. When he was a dozen meters away from home, his steps involuntarily became brisk. His right hand naturally reached into his pocket and began to search for his keys. The iron keys were bound together by a ring-shaped keychain, making a clanging sound as he walked.

But when he stood in front of his house, his body stiffened for a moment—a faint smell of blood wafted from the house, lingering in his nose, tightly wrapped around him like a ghost, causing Klein's heart to suddenly tighten.

But in just a moment, he relaxed again.

Klein opened the door and took in the entire scene inside the house with a single glance.

There were obvious bloodstains on the living room floor. Eve was cleaning it with a mop. Rarity was squatting on the sofa, originally looking at Eve. After Klein opened the door, she turned her gaze to him and tilted her head. "Meow?"

Seeing Klein standing at the door, Ruirui called out, her tone filled with a hint of doubt and urging.

Eve, who was mopping the floor, stopped and looked towards the door with the mop.

Klein's eyes moved back and forth between Eve, Ruirui, and the bloodstains, as if he was thinking about something. He was silent for a few seconds, then took out his inspector's certificate.

The mop in her hand fell to the ground with a loud noise. Eve raised her hands and howled, "Uncle Police!"

"cough……"

The cry of "Uncle Police" almost made Klein burst out laughing, but with his excellent self-control, he suppressed the laughter that was about to burst out like a husky.

"It looks like a crime scene. Confess and be lenient, resist and be strict." He closed the door, looked at the bloodstains on the floor and asked, "What did you do?"

"It's my fault." Ruirui jumped off the sofa and circled around the bloodstain, as if observing something. Then she jumped back and looked at Eve who was holding a mop with her brown eyes. She stretched her cat head upwards and then looked at the bloodstain again, motioning Eve to continue cleaning.

After doing all this, the black cat jumped back onto the sofa and said, "Remember the large dog I mentioned to you yesterday, meow? This is its blood."

"You killed it? Did it hurt someone?" Klein was surprised for a second, then realized that the large dog might have an owner. He didn't know how to respond if the owner came looking for him.

"That's a demon dog," Eve said, vigorously mopping the floor twice. The cloth soaked in clean water washed away the stains on the floor, leaving only a few faint red marks. "And it's a demon dog about to be promoted. Its owner is definitely a Beyonder of the Demonic Path."

Devil dog!
Klein's heart leaped, as if gripped by an invisible force. His eyes revealed an unconcealable relief. He was secretly thankful that the demon dog had been slain in time; otherwise, countless innocent lives would have been lost.

"Then where's its owner?" Klein immediately pressed, his tone urgent. As an official Beyonder, his sense of responsibility prevented him from sitting idly by. "Did he catch him?"

Hearing this, Eve slowly raised her ocean-blue eyes and her gaze drifted towards a dark figure lying quietly on the sofa - Ruirui.

"No, meow," Ruirui raised her front paws and patted the sofa beneath her, as if to emphasize her next words. She continued, "But I already have a direction. You can rest assured. Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, they will be able to return to the Lord's Kingdom together."

Ruirui's tone was filled with unquestionable confidence and determination. Klein looked down at the black cat. Her brown eyes held no clues, but she always gave off a feeling of confidence, mystery, and wisdom, like a wise man in a fairy tale.

In fact, the Scarlet Moon Cat is indeed a knowledgeable black cat in "Apocalypse of the Night" and has also played the role of a wise man in some stories.

After learning of Eve and Ruirui's identities, Klein searched for information about them, but the information he could obtain was very limited. Klein had never heard of those stories, and according to Eve, at least one-third of them were false.

The black cat's words calmed Klein's heart and stopped him from thinking about the demon dog.

Klein leaned his cane against the wall, took off his coat, and hung it on the coat rack next to the door.

"Do you need any potion?" Eve suddenly asked, raising her chin and looking at the straps on Klein's shoulders with her sea-blue eyes.
