Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 72: Of course it’s because it’s cool

No. 2 Narcissus Street

Klein opened his eyes, lay on the bed, and looked up at the clock.

Half past ten.

As expected, I can't get up after staying up all night, Klein thought sleepily, wanting to go back and take a nap.

He quickly packed up and took a public carriage to the Blackthorn Security Company.

"Ms. Roxanne," Klein felt a solemn atmosphere upon entering the Blackthorn Security Company. His heart immediately tensed up. His intuition told him that things didn't seem to be going smoothly. "What happened?"

Even Roxanne, the usually energetic receptionist, had her head hung low, a look of worry on her face.

"Ah? Klein?" Roshan lowered her head and told Klein everything in a low voice.

Megose is missing?
"However, there is still good news." Luo Shan forced a smile, as if trying to laugh. "People from the Holy Temple will arrive tomorrow morning, and Miss Megose may have left on her own and didn't fall into the hands of the Aurora Society."

Klein nodded, and Roxanne continued, "Ms. Megaux's family has already reported the case to the police. Because this matter is very special, they filed a case last night. The police will also help us find Miss Megaux's whereabouts.

"Also, the Nighthawks will now prioritize the Evil God's Offspring incident, so the previous Antigonus Family Notes and Black Cat incidents will see reduced manpower allocated," Roshan observed Klein quietly. After all, both cases were related to him. "The Antigonus Family Notes incident will be your responsibility. The Black Cat incident is currently less dangerous and will be handled by Mr. Dana. However, the Nighthawks will not hesitate to provide support if needed."

Klein nodded and said, "I understand. Did the captain give any other instructions?"

"Huh?" Luo Shan was stunned for a moment, then said, "Also, the captain hopes that while you're searching for clues about the Antigonus family's notes, you can also keep an eye out for clues about Miss Megose or the Aurora Society."

"I see. Where are the captain and the others?"

"The captain and Lord Cecima have gone to capture Hood Eugen and Sirius Arepis. Frye and Luo Yao are guarding Lanevus and Chanis Gate. Leonard has gone home to rest and will probably be back this afternoon. The others are out looking for clues."

"Then I have to take action too," Klein said, straightening his hat. "Goodbye, Miss Roxanne."

"Goodbye," Roxanne said worriedly, looking at Klein with her hands clasped tightly. "You must be careful."

"We will."

After leaving Blackthorn Security Company, Klein did not immediately search for clues. Instead, he took a public carriage back to 2 Daffodil Street.

He suspected that there was interference from that "audience" behind this matter. The status of that "audience" was very high and it was impossible to predict it using ordinary methods, but the elder sister should be able to predict the whereabouts of Miss Megose.

After several days of exploration and experimentation, Eve and Klein have figured out many uses of Sefirah Castle, such as enhancing divination abilities, allowing Klein to directly transmit his voice to people with whom he has established a connection, and allowing Klein to accept sacrifices. Unfortunately, because his sequence is still too low, he cannot open the door of sacrifice, so this use is temporarily useless.

Although Klein could also recite Eve's honorific name, it was safer to discuss it in Sefirah Castle.

Klein entered the bathroom, walked four steps backward, and ascended to Sefirah Castle.

He sat on the bronze chair and said to Eve's crimson star, "Hurry back to the castle!"

Three seconds later, Klein felt Eve knocking on the door and immediately opened it for her.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Eve yawned and complained bitterly, "You're disturbing my sleep so early in the morning."

"Miss Megose has disappeared." Klein said directly. Eve had been watching him last night, so she knew who Megose was.

"Ah, I know," Eve said nonchalantly, "Do you think I won't watch it after you log off?"

"Don't worry, it'll be fine," Eve said, leaning lazily on the bronze chair. "I don't have much, and I can't give you much either, but there are two things I'm sure I can and will give you: a ladder, and a safety net. With this safety net, you'll be fine." Klein was stunned for a moment. For some reason, he suddenly thought of the storage room and the names on the boxes.

He raised his hand and pinched his brows, shaking off the random thoughts in his head. He managed a curl of his lips and said, "Fortunately, you're not a celebrity, otherwise another famous quote would have been ruined by a time traveler."

"In fact, Russell said that a long time ago," Eve said, spreading her hands. "And what I said is completely different from the original."

"You called me up here in a hurry because you have something to ask me?" Eve asked, bringing the topic back on track.

"Can you divine Megose's location?" Klein asked immediately.

"Sure," Eve combed her messy hair with her hands, "but Megose can move, and the guy behind you won't let you meet."

"Let me give you a few more tips." Strands of Eve's hair tangled together, and He reached out a hand to pinch them to prevent them from hurting himself. "The growth patterns of ordinary creatures don't apply to mythical creatures. Although Megose has only been pregnant for a few days, she looks like she's already three or four months old. Furthermore, if the offspring of the evil god senses danger, it might double down on its erosion of the mother to accelerate its own growth."

"Also, have I ever told you? Ah, I don't think so," Eve said. "The guy behind this covets something from the Nighthawks, and that thing is behind the Chanis Gate. He also contributed to the success of Lanevus's ritual, but Lanevus doesn't know about it."

Klein was startled and immediately tried to connect the clues.

Covet what is behind the Chanis Gate, but the Chanis Gate is always guarded by the Night Watchmen.

There are two ways to get things after entering Chanis Gate, one is to use wits, and the other is to use force.

He helped Lanevus complete the ritual, indirectly causing the events surrounding the Evil God's Offspring and Evil God's Consciousness. Lanevus is currently behind the Chanis Gate, unaware of his covert assistance, thus ruling out any possible collaboration between the two. If Lanevus doesn't know, then Megose is even less likely to know. This suggests he's preparing a forceful attack, which is why he's trying to prevent Lord Cecima from entering Tingen.

But the people from the Temple will arrive in Tingen soon, and then his plan will fall apart.

Megose has disappeared...

Wait, is he going to launch an attack before the people from the temple arrive?
Now the Blackthorn Security Company only has two Night Watchmen, and they are unable to resist the offspring of the evil god.

Klein stood up suddenly.

"Don't worry, it's not that fast," Eve said leisurely. "Although the growth of mythical creatures is unscientific, it still takes time. The remaining time is not enough for the Evil God's offspring to be fully born. The unborn Evil God's offspring poses a smaller threat. To ensure the Evil God's offspring's combat effectiveness, he should have Megose visit the Blackthorn Security Company in the evening or at night to give it as much time as possible to grow."

Klein's heart relaxed a little, and he grumbled with a hint of humor, "You could just say it directly, right? Isn't it better this way? Why do you always have to be the riddler?"

It was originally a joke, but Eve unexpectedly looked at Klein with a serious expression.

"Two reasons," Eve held up two fingers and said seriously, "First, you won't get far on the extraordinary path if you're overly protected. So, most of the time, I'll just give you hints, and you have to walk your own path."

"Two..." Eve paused, then looked up at Klein. Klein was stunned and suddenly became a little nervous. He held his breath and looked at Eve sitting on the bronze chair.

He slowly opened his mouth and then burst out laughing.

"Of course it's because it feels good, hahahaha."

what?
Klein's mind went blank as he stared blankly at Eve, who was laughing so hard that her whole body was shaking.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm his bad mood.

Sure enough, he shouldn't have had any hope in this guy.
