Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 52 Tarot Club

He slept very late last night, and it was already past eleven when Klein woke up.

He sat on the bed and stretched, thinking how good it felt to sleep until waking up naturally.

Although Klein had to stay at Blackthorn Security Company frequently due to the Welch and Black Cat cases, the Nighthawks did not deprive him of his well-deserved vacation, and his weekly day off was not canceled. Because of the party, Klein set his vacation on Monday.

Klein pushed open the door and walked into the living room. It was empty. He was the only one at home. Melissa and Benson had left long ago, but they had left breakfast for Klein in the kitchen.

After a leisurely breakfast, Klein took a public carriage to the club for shooting practice, completing his thirty rounds of ammunition for the day.

Klein wiped the sweat off his face, picked up his coat, pulled out his pocket watch, and checked the time. It was still before one o'clock, so he wandered around the city for a while, hoping to remember some information about the notes.

He also asked Eve about the whereabouts of her notebook, and Eve's answer was, "Be independent, be independent. Don't bother me with such trivial matters."

Is there a possibility that this matter is not a trivial matter to them?

Klein felt exhausted because he didn't know whether this was a big deal or a small one. But the captain and his men had been looking for the notes, and the Secret Order was also looking for the notes, so it probably wasn't a small matter.

After a round of searching, he found nothing. Klein's missing memories were still nowhere to be found. He didn't feel disappointed. After all, this wasn't the first or second time this had happened. Klein took out his pocket watch and checked the time.

2:27 pm.

"Snapped!"

He closed the pocket watch and put it back into his pocket.

The meeting is about to start, let’s go back quickly.

Klein bought a newspaper and took a public carriage back home.

After returning home, he sat at the table and looked at his notes for a while. In fact, he was reviewing the knowledge that Eve taught him, so as to avoid the sad discovery that he had forgotten it when he needed it at the party.

After reviewing all the knowledge in his mind, Klein walked into the bathroom with the newspaper.

Who knows if there are any night watchmen secretly following him? Only by being careful can you sail safely for a long time.

In the bathroom, Klein placed the newspaper on the toilet, took four steps backward, and silently chanted in his heart:
"Fusheng Xuanhuang Immortal Lord."

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianjun."

"The God of Blessing and Prosperity Xuanhuang."

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun."

The familiar whispers echoed in his ears again. After entering and exiting Sefirah Castle several times, Klein had developed some resistance to these whispers. At least it wasn't as painful as before.

When the mumbling faded away, Klein appeared in the giant-like palace. He sat on a bronze chair and took out his pocket watch to check the time.

Two minutes to go.

Klein tapped his fingers on the armrest, his brown eyes fixed on the ticking second hand.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Why hasn't my sister come yet? I won't forget...

coming!

Before Klein could finish his thoughts, he felt Eve's "knock on the door." He immediately sat up straight and opened the "door" for Eve.

"I thought you'd forgotten." Klein breathed a sigh of relief.

"How could that be?" Eve leaned lazily against the back of her chair. "I'm just used to it."

Klein glanced at Eve speechlessly and continued to stare at his pocket watch.

The second hand moved slowly, completing another full circle under Klein's gaze. Klein snapped the pocket watch shut and put it away, his hands touching two crimson stars.

A deep red light gushed out like a spring and then faded away. Two figures appeared in the magnificent palace.

Both of them noticed Eve's presence at the first moment.

Alger frowned, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing across his eyes, but he returned to his normal appearance in an instant.

Such beings probably wouldn't care about our thoughts, Alger thought to himself with self-mockery, feeling helpless and unwilling.

Audrey seemed very happy and delighted with the development and growth of the Tarot Club.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool." Audrey stood up and greeted Klein cheerfully, her tone tinged with unconcealed anticipation and excitement. The Hanged Man followed Audrey's lead.

Eve looked at Audrey, then at Alger, curled the corners of her mouth, and chuckled.

Klein had been quietly observing Eve. This smile almost gave him a heart attack, and he prayed frantically in his heart.

Don't mess with me! Don't mess with me! Don't mess with me!

But Eve couldn't hear Klein's prayer. She stood up, lifted her skirt, and said respectfully and reverently, "Good afternoon, Mr. Great Fool."

Alger looked at Eve's greeting, a hint of thought flashing in his eyes, his mind working rapidly. Judging from the Queen's attitude, she should know the Fool and may be a member of the force behind the Fool. Her attitude was very respectful, and the Fool's status in the organization should be very high.

Klein gritted his teeth and nodded in response, saying in a deep voice, "This is the Queen."

Help! This is so embarrassing!

Klein felt so embarrassed that he couldn't even look at Eve. He wished he could travel back in time and slap himself for inviting Eve.

Audrey smiled at Eve and said, "Good afternoon, Miss Queen. I am Justice."

Alger nodded to Eve and said, "Good afternoon. I'm the Hanged Man."

Eve glanced at Klein, who was hiding behind the gray fog, and chuckled softly. "Good afternoon, Miss Justice, Mr. Hanged Man."

After the greetings, Audrey asked expectantly, "Mr. Hanged Man, did you receive the ghost shark's blood?"

Alger nodded. "Thank you very much. The ghost shark is not an ordinary extraordinary creature. I didn't expect you to be able to obtain it so quickly."

"As agreed, I will tell you the formula for 'audience'." After the voice fell, Alger looked at Eve.

Audrey was stunned for a moment and looked at Eve.

Eve chuckled and said, "You can ask Mr. Fool for a private conversation."

As soon as she finished speaking, Audrey looked at Klein, and Alger followed suit.

“Mr. Fool, can you allow us to talk alone?” Audrey asked curiously and expectantly.

Klein nodded and then said, "You can communicate now."

"Is this all right?" Audrey lowered her head to check herself, then looked around. "I don't feel any changes. It's amazing."

Audrey didn't feel any changes, and admired Mr. Fool's mystery and power in her heart.

Alger didn't feel any changes either. He marveled at the Fool's strength, being able to exclude the Queen and create a space for communication just for them.

Klein smiled cunningly in his heart. Of course, they couldn't feel any changes because Klein didn't do anything.

He doesn't know how to do that at all.

But it didn't matter. There were only four of them here. As long as Klein and Eve didn't say anything, no one would know.
