Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 54 Disguise
Although the Fool did not admit it, Alger still believed that the Fool should be able to understand Emperor Roselle's notes.

The undecipherable Russell Notes were only of collectible value and were far inferior to the role-playing method for Extraordinary People.

Klein tapped his fingers on the table and took a deep breath, still not daring to look at Eve. Of course, Eve could say this, but he couldn't remain silent from now on. He could only try his best to adapt.

He said in a steady voice, "Help me collect Russell's diary. This is your advance payment."

Klein prepared to take a two-pronged approach, learning about the secrets and knowledge of the mysterious world from both Eve and Russell.

Eve certainly knew a lot but not everything. Perhaps he could find some surprises in Russell's diary.

Eve's mouth corners rose slightly. It turned out that human potential is unlimited.

"Then how do we deliver the collected Russell diaries to you?" Audrey asked.

Klein remained calm. After several days of experimentation, he had already figured out some of Sefirah Fort's functions. Sefirah Fort could not only condense what Klein possessed, but also manifest what was in a person's mind.

Following Klein's guidance, Audrey successfully created paper with her own thoughts written on it.

"It's amazing." Audrey exclaimed, then asked in fear, "Mr. Fool, can you tell me what I'm thinking?"

"No," Klein said solemnly, "I'm just a guide. I won't show up if you don't want me to."

Audrey and Alger breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

The transaction has ended.

It ended quickly but it was also within Eve's expectations. After all, the number of people and the demand were there.

"Why don't we chat with each other?" Eve thought to herself. Zhou Mingrui's spirituality could still last for a while. Instead of letting this weekly gathering end, it would be better to find a way to expand the business. The future Tarot Club can't just be an ordinary gathering or trading platform. "Perhaps information that is ordinary to me is very important to others."

Alger nodded. This wasn't an unreasonable request. After a moment's silence, he took the initiative to share some of his experiences at sea.

During this time, Alger looked up at the Fool from time to time.

The Fool behind the gray fog just watched them talk quietly, seemingly having no interest in joining them.

Klein listened to what they said, his mind going blank. He had no idea what pirates were.

He sighed inwardly, pretending to be indifferent, but in reality, he was listening carefully to the information. He listened to the three of them chatting about everything from their experiences at sea to politics, and listened to Audrey talk about political issues.

Klein tapped his fingers on the armrest and thought for two seconds. He brought up the civil service exam system from his previous life. If Miss Justice could get it, it would be a good thing. He could also let Benson prepare in advance and maybe he could get in.

"Let's end today's party here."

Alger, Audrey, and Eve stood up at the same time and said, "Your will is followed."

Klein didn't rush to cut off their connection. Instead, he looked at the two and casually said, "You can contact me after you leave. I allow you to recite my name—the Fool who doesn't belong to this era, the mysterious ruler above the gray fog, the Yellow and Black King who wields good luck."

Without giving the two time to react, Klein immediately severed the connection. A crimson light surged out and vanished as quickly as bubbles. Only he and Eve were left in the magnificent ancient palace.

"Huh." Klein leaned back and let out a deep breath. "It's finally over."

"Not bad, Zhou Mingrui," Eve leaned back in her chair and gave Klein a thumbs-up. "It's a shame you weren't an actor in your previous life."

Klein rolled his eyes at Eve and materialized a notebook, throwing it at her. "This is so embarrassing!" Eve reached out and casually caught the notebook Klein threw at her. "You'll get used to it after a few times. Your face can grow." Eve tossed the notebook twice, twisting her wrist, and the book drew a graceful arc in the air. "You can hold your ground, right? See, that's growth."

Klein stared at the notebook heading straight towards him and considered the possibility of him catching it with ease.

The brown-covered notebook was flying in the air. Its silhouette gradually became illusory and finally disappeared into the air.

"Tsk tsk tsk," Eve shook her head, "You can't afford to play, Xiao Zhou."

"Get lost! If growing thicker is considered growth, then you've already grown to a point no one can match," Klein subconsciously taunted back. "Perhaps your growth is measured in years, and your skin gets thicker with age. Now that it's a thousand layers thick, you've become invincible."

"Nonsense," Eve said, rubbing her face. "My skin grows in millennia, so there's still plenty of room for growth."

Klein was speechless for a moment. He'd seen people with thick skin before, but never one as thick-skinned as this. With a headache, he complained, "What on earth has this world done to you?" In his previous life, Zhou Mingzhen was also heartless and thick-skinned, but not to this extent.

"Alas," Eve sighed, leaning her head against the back of her chair. Her eyes, as deep as the ocean, gazed at Klein, a hint of sadness flowing through the azure water. "I have a friend who writes books and I read them. I used to be embarrassed if he found out I was reading his books."

Klein was stunned for a moment, then immediately sat up straight, feeling a surge of panic in his heart. He hadn't expected that his casual joke would touch Eve's sore spot!
"Now, it's been more than two thousand years..." Eve slowly sat up straight and curled the corners of her lips.

"Right..."

"He hasn't updated yet!" Eve shouted angrily. "Over two thousand years! Do you know how I've been spending those two thousand years? Even though I don't read His books anymore, He hasn't updated in over two thousand years!"

Klein silently swallowed the words he hadn't uttered.

"You!" Klein took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. "Give me back my tears."

He was really scared!

"What are you talking about? I'm really feeling this," Eve said confidently. "Look, I used to get embarrassed when I was caught reading a friend's book. If it happened again now, I wouldn't be embarrassed. If anyone should be embarrassed, it should be Him."

"Your book..." Klein stared at Eve. Knowing his sister well, even if she wasn't as thick-skinned as she used to be, she wouldn't be embarrassed by being caught reading a friend's book. He considered it for a moment and asked politely, "Is it a serious book?"

"What are you talking about? What are you talking about!" Eve took out a small mirror and threw it at Klein. "Am I that kind of person?"

The mirror flew through the air and, with a "bang," landed precisely at Klein's feet, shattering into a pile of silver stars.

"Sweep the floor." Klein said, then lay back and simulated the feeling of falling to leave Sefirah Castle.

After leaving Sefirah Castle, Klein stretched his arms and legs a bit. He felt that Sefirah Castle hadn't given him any indication of leaving. With a slight smile on his face, he picked up the newspaper and happily left the bathroom.

Klein entered the living room and sat on the soft sofa, sinking his entire body into it. He shook the newspaper and unfolded it.

A line of large, bold, black text came into view: "Baroness Edgar is filing for divorce, accusing the Baron of pursuing a company employee during their marriage." Klein sighed, as expected, gossip is always popular in any world. He then glanced over it.

He had known this news for a long time. In fact, the evidence against Mrs. Edgar was collected by Blackthorn Security Company. He read it again because of the innocent girl Sherman.

She was pursued by her boss right after starting work, and after she rejected him, she was harassed and ultimately fired. Being fired just a few days after starting had already made it difficult for her to find a new job. If this incident were to be brought up in the newspapers, her future life would be difficult.

Fortunately, this newspaper was very conscientious and neither included a photo nor included her name, address or other information.
