Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 69 Sincerity
"How about giving it a try?"

Eve shook the black cloak in her hand and handed it to Klein.

Klein put on his cloak. The black cloak was wide and long, covering his entire body, leaving only his feet in leather shoes exposed.

He examined himself in the dressing mirror and pondered in his mind.

Change your shoes to avoid being recognized.

"Try this again." Eve said, raising the mask in her hand.

Klein took a look and said, "This mask only covers the upper half of your face." He pointed at the mask and said, "Is there nothing else?"

"And this is too...gorgeous," Klein complained. "I'm not going to a dance."

"It's okay," Eve said with a grin. She extended her hand in front of Klein and quickly placed the mask on his face. She opened her empty hand and faced him with five fingers. With a flick of her wrist, a tiny silver needle appeared between her fingers. A black thread was strung behind the needle. "If you sew up the bottom of the hood, wouldn't that cover the lower half of your face?"

As she spoke, Eve immediately grabbed Klein's hood with her other hand, tightly gripping the silver needle and guiding the black silk thread along the fabric.

"Wait," Klein immediately reached out and covered Eve's wrist. "Don't you think this is too... ungentlemanly?"

"It's quite different from your usual image, isn't it?" Klein's obstruction didn't bother Eve at all. He sewed with the silver needle while saying, "Isn't this wonderful? If they didn't know, who would have guessed it was you? I'm helping you."

Klein choked. Although what Eve said made some sense, it was more like a fallacy than a truth.

"I don't believe this is the only way you can help me disguise myself." Klein said expressionlessly.

"Of course there are others," Eve looked at Klein's face teasingly. "Do you want to know?"

"No." Seeing Eve's expression, Klein knew that the so-called other methods would definitely be a scam. He immediately refused, "I don't want to know."

"What a pity," Eve raised her head and sighed, then revealed a malicious smile, "No way, I want to say it anyway."

"Women's clothing, women's clothing, women's clothing," Eve's mouth opened and closed rapidly, and Rune words popped out of her mouth quickly, "Wear a skirt with me, Zhou Mingrui, hahahaha, the gender has been changed, the disguise effect is absolutely good, trust my skills, I guarantee that you will not be recognized, and you can also choose the style, whether it is pure and cute, or enchanting and charming, whether it is a sweet girl or a queen, I can help you disguise it. It is better to act than to be moved, don't..."

Klein slapped Eve's forehead with one hand and gently pushed her away from him.

"It seems you are good at putting on makeup."

"what?"

Eve was stunned for a moment, then hummed twice, "I'm a professional makeup artist with twenty years of experience."

"I remember you're a reporter now," Klein asked curiously, "What jobs have you had?"

"Teacher, florist, animal trainer, doctor, detective, farmer, bodyguard..." Eve counted on her fingers, "A lot."

Klein couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. In some ways, his sister was truly enviable. He would probably be a Nighthawk his entire life.

But being a night watchman is already good. The work is easy, the salary is good, and there are no disadvantages except danger. He is willing to be a night watchman for the rest of his life.

Eve continued sewing with the silver needle in her hand, her hands and mouth never stopping. "I don't usually wear makeup. Do you think I can put on makeup?"

Klein shook his head. His sister was a consummate lazy person who would rather sit than stand, and would rather lie down than sit. If Eve wasn't going out, Klein believed her closet would only contain pajamas, and her shoe rack would only contain slippers.

Eve reminisced, "When I was a makeup artist, I did makeup for many wealthy young men and women, as well as aristocrats. In the early Fifth Epoch, the nobility pursued fair complexions. Both men and women would smear thick layers of powder on their faces. Their complexions were truly incredibly white. Even if I died for ten days, I probably wouldn't be as fair as they are."

"Okay," Eve said, pulling her hood up. "Go in the evening. I'll keep an eye on you."

Klein nodded and walked towards the mirror.

Snapped!
He looked back at Eve in confusion.

Eve suddenly placed her hand on Klein's shoulder. Seeing him turn around, she patted him again, took a deep breath, and asked, "Is it really not possible?"

"Huh?" Klein looked at Him in confusion.

"We can take Ouroboros with us and take a picture together. I've already thought of a name for the picture, it's called Three Sisters, what do you think?"

Klein took a deep breath, held it in, but couldn't hold it back. "I hope you can get out of my sight."

"Good."

Eve quickly ran past Klein and dove into the dressing mirror.

……

Blackthorn Security Company

Leonard lowered his head and tilted his ear as if listening to something.

He glanced at Lanevus beside him and quickly walked out of Chanis Gate.

In preparation for tonight's operation, he took the initiative to accept the task of guarding Lanevus and Chanis Gate tonight.

Outside the door, Leonard was stunned when he saw the visitor. He opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but immediately swallowed it back.

The man before him wore a large, black cloak, a common disguise. However, he wore a silver half-mask engraved with a golden forget-me-not pattern, and a pair of sunglasses perched on top, making it particularly conspicuous. The lower portion of the hood was sewn shut, and the stitching was crooked, as if a hideous centipede had crawled up the underside of the hood, grasping the sides with its legs to hold it closed. The man raised his hand and removed the sunglasses, revealing a pair of brown eyes, then lowered the mask.

It's really Klein, Leonard thought with some surprise. The disguise is... really successful.

Klein pointed at Leonard's clothes, signaling him to quickly change into his disguise.

Leonard was puzzled for two seconds before reacting and took out the cloak and mask he had hidden in the Blackthorn Security Company in advance.

Compared to Klein's flashy mask, Leonard's was much plainer. A white mask that covered his entire face, devoid of any patterns or designs.

Klein looked into Leonard's exposed eyes and took out a pair of sunglasses from his cloak pocket and handed them to him.

One has green eyes and the other has brown eyes. And there just happens to be one with green eyes and one with brown eyes among the Night Watchmen, which really makes people think too much.

Leonard took the sunglasses, looked at them twice, and put them on.

He pointed at the door and turned to look at Klein. Seeing him nod, he took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

Chanis's door was gently pushed open. Leonard moved carefully and made no noise.

They walked over to Lanevus and looked down at him sleeping on the floor.

Lanevus' body tensed, his eyes closed, pretending to be asleep, as he wondered what these two inexplicable intruders were up to.

Klein squatted down and shook Lanevus, but Lanevus didn't respond. He shook him again, this time with much more force.

"Um……"

Lanevus rolled over and lay flat on the floor. He snorted in dissatisfaction, as if annoyed at being disturbed, and then slowly opened his eyes.

"Who are you?" Lanevus immediately stepped back after seeing the two people in front of him, looking at them with horror on his face. He shouted loudly, as if trying to attract the night watchman on duty. Then he felt a chill on his neck.

A saber was pressed to his throat.

Lanevus swallowed his saliva. At the moment his Adam's apple bulged, his skin gently pressed against the blade, bringing a slight touch.

"Don't make a sound," Leonard said in a low voice, deliberately changing his tone. His voice now sounded a bit like an old man. "We have no ill intentions. Of course, the premise is that you cooperate."

Lanevus lowered his gaze to the saber that gleamed coldly under the warm glow of the gas lamp. He opened his mouth but said nothing. Finally, he nodded ever so slightly.

Damn.

Where did these two people come from?
Lanevus felt incredibly unlucky. While maintaining a terrified appearance, he pondered in his heart why the two men had come and whether it would be beneficial or harmful to him.

"Actually, we're here to help you." Klein chuckled, lowering his voice and trying to change his voice to make it far different from his real voice.

Lanevus looked at them with a puzzled expression, but a certain interest was piqued in his heart.

"You performed a mysterious ritual, a ritual related to the gods," Klein said affirmatively.

Lanevus suppressed his instinctive reaction, maintaining a superficial panic, and whispered, "Sir, all rituals are related to the gods."

Klein scoffed and said, "You know which one I'm talking about."

As he spoke, Leonard exerted a little force on the dagger, and the blade of the saber advanced towards Lanevus's flesh and blood.

A slight pain appeared in his neck. If the other party exerted more force, he might bleed. As a veteran Beyonder, Lanevus knew clearly how dangerous it was to have blood fall into the hands of others in the Beyonder world.

"If you can't express enough sincerity, then we can't show enough sincerity either." Klein said softly.

Lanevus's face turned grim. A "Trickster" lacked powerful offensive methods, and his physical enhancements were far inferior to those of a skilled fighter. Judging from the way the black-clad man with the saber pressed the dagger against his throat, it would be difficult for him to escape from him head-on, especially with the saber pressed against his throat.

His life now rests in the hands of these two men.

"Yes," Lanevus took a deep breath and said, "That ceremony is related to my fiancée."

"More sincerity will require the two gentlemen to exchange for it." Lanevus looked at the two men and said, no longer feigning fear. His lips curled slightly as if mocking them. Even in this situation, he would not let others manipulate him like this.

"Within you," Klein paused and continued, "there is the divinity of a great being."

Lanevus scoffed and looked at the two men mockingly. "Sir, of course I know. In fact, this is the reward I received for completing the ritual."

Leonard was stunned for a moment. Fortunately, his cloak and mask concealed the abnormality. He immediately suppressed his surprise and did not let Lanevus notice anything unusual.

Klein hadn't expected him to know that he possessed divinity. He immediately suppressed his surprise, sneered, and continued, "Then do you know what would happen to you if you possessed the divinity of a great being?"

Lanevus was stunned for a moment, staring intently at the two people in front of him.

"Become a vessel for divine descent," Klein spoke slowly and softly. His tone was eerie, as if he were telling a story, but his words blended seamlessly with the dim surroundings, creating an eerie feeling. "The divine will slowly erode you. As the divine erodes, the consciousness of the great being will gradually awaken within you."

"Heh," Klein chuckled. "What do you think you'll be like then?"
