Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 74 Good boy

Audrey was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"You are such a good child." Eve said with a curl of her lips.

Audrey shook her head and opened her mouth as if to say something, then hesitated and closed it again.

Eve looked at her quietly.

Audrey looked back at Eve, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, "Sometimes I feel like Miss Eve is my elder."

"Huh?" Eve said in feigned surprise, "Do I look old?"

"No, of course not." Miss Eve looked only eighteen or nineteen years old, but she had worked and lived alone in Backlund for more than a decade. Audrey guessed that she was in her twenties or thirties. "It's just a feeling."

"Haha," Eve chuckled twice and whispered in a low voice, "From the perspective of ordinary people, people my age should be buried in the ground."

Audrey blinked and stared at Eve curiously.

Can Beyonders who reach a certain level extend their lifespan and maintain their appearance?
It’s amazing, Audrey exclaimed in her heart. Miss Eve is indeed a powerful Beyonder, and a very, very experienced Beyonder.

Audrey's beautiful eyes stared at the girl opposite her, as if she wanted to see through the falsehood.

The waiter silently carried the plates to the table and placed the food they ordered on the table.

"Thank you." Eve turned around and thanked the waiter with a smile, picked up the corkscrew, uncorked the red wine, and poured a glass for Audrey and herself.

Audrey's good upbringing did not allow her to speak with food in her mouth, and the conversation ended with the aroma of red wine.

After dinner, Eve and Audrey left the restaurant carrying the packed Dixie grilled fish.

"Rui Rui." Eve waved at the black coal ball beside the road.

Ruirui's ears twitched, and she slowly raised her head, looking at Eve with her brown eyes. She shook her body lazily and walked towards Him.

Eve half-knelt down and stuffed the Dipsy grilled fish into the collar around Ruirui's neck. She rubbed her little head and said, "This is your lunch."

"Miss Eve?" Audrey exclaimed and immediately turned around to look around, but found that no one around her seemed to have noticed this unusual scene, and there was nothing unusual.

"They..." Audrey murmured, "Can't see?"

"Haha," Eve stood up and chuckled twice, "It's just a small illusion. Miss Audrey will be able to achieve the same effect in the future."

"Really?" Audrey asked in surprise at first, then realized what was happening and said in astonishment, "Ms. Eve knows about my..."

Audrey didn't continue talking. She didn't know whether Miss Eve's illusion covered her and was worried that she would be exposed.

Eve shook her head. "There are many ways to achieve this effect. The only difference is that it happens sooner or later."

I see. If that's the case, doesn't that mean Miss Eve knows a lot of knowledge?

Audrey's eyes lit up, and she pondered in her heart, "Does Miss Eve have a follow-up formula for the 'audience'?"

Rarity glanced down at Silver and rubbed her head against Eve's hand.

"I'm sorry, Susie," Audrey rubbed Susie's head and said, "I didn't bring you lunch. I'll make it up to you when I get home."

Eve picked up Ruirui, turned to look at Audrey and asked, "Miss Audrey, do you want to shop for a while?"

"Yeah," Audrey nodded. She had just arrived at Bayam and didn't want to go back. She lowered her head and looked at Susie, smiling and said, "Susie, if you're hungry, you can tell me."

"Woof." Susie called out happily.

"Then Miss Audrey, would you like me, your amateur tour guide, to continue showing you around?" Eve stroked the black cat's soft fur with her right hand, her lips curled up slightly. "I don't know of any attractions, but I do have some unique places I can recommend to you, Miss Audrey."

Audrey's eyes lit up and she nodded immediately. She was more interested in those unique places than tourist attractions.

Audrey followed Eve expectantly, walking through the streets, her skirt fluttering as she left her own footprints in this generous city.

"Here," Eve paused, nodded slightly, and gestured to Audrey to look at the tavern in front of them. "There's a secret gathering here tomorrow. It's a place for wild Beyonders to trade."

"Miss Audrey can come with me tomorrow if you like."

"Of course, I'm looking forward to tomorrow's party." Audrey said in surprise, looking at Eve with eyes full of joy and anticipation, as if hoping that He would reveal more such places.

"There are quite a few underground gatherings like this in Bayam, but there's no news of any other gatherings besides this one," Eve chuckled and explained, "To prevent official discovery, these underground gatherings are held irregularly, and they all have specific methods for delivering information." "If Miss Audrey doesn't mind, I can take you to see it."

"How could I dislike it?" Audrey said with unusual joy, "Thank you, Miss Eve."

Eve took Audrey on a stroll through the city, passing through streets and docks one after another. Their figures appeared and disappeared until the scorching sun faded, and then they hurried away.

At night, a soft crimson veil passed through the window, shrouding the girl's body. Eve sat half-leaning on the bed, her long, watery hair cascading down her back. Her ocean-blue eyes were calm as she quietly read the letter.

"Dear Eve,

Congratulations on finding your brother. I can go to Backlund anytime. You can arrange everything."

Eve looked at the short and non-standard letter in front of her, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, she folded it and placed it in the cabinet beside the bed, then turned her gaze to Tingen.

The reception room of the Blackthorn Security Company was in great disrepair. The walls were cracked and broken, all the furniture was misplaced and overturned, and there were some broken glass on the floor.

Klein collapsed on the ground, clutching the wound on his chest and gasping in pain.

When Megose arrived at Blackthorn Security, there were only three Nighthawks, him, Leonard, and Frye. Their resistance was strenuous. Klein's chest was directly wounded by Megose's bone scythe, and Frye's head hit the wall and was bleeding. Only Leonard was in relatively good condition, but his eyes were bleeding. Perhaps because Lanevus possessed the true Creator's divinity, Megose didn't attack him, and Lanevus was in the best condition.

Klein allowed Dina to help him up. He turned around and glanced at Megose who was lying on the ground, feeling a little reluctant.

Megose was draped in tattered clothes, her face and body stripped of flesh, especially her face, where only bones remained. Her skin had been charred, and her arms were connected not by hands but by two pale bone sickles. She lay on the ground with her eyes closed, seemingly dead.

Klein couldn't bear it and was about to look away when he suddenly saw Megose's belly, like an eight-month pregnant woman, shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Immediately afterwards, the girl's burnt black skin began to fall off, revealing new white skin, and the shed flesh also grew back. The bone sickle slowly disappeared, replaced by the girl's hands.

"Well……"

Megose groaned, struggled to open her eyes, and looked around in confusion.

It all happened so fast that before the Nighthawks could react, Megose had already "come back to life".

Cecima immediately held the holy sword across her body and looked at her warily.

Under the gaze of many pairs of eyes, Megose frowned, covered her head, and seemed to be in pain.

After two seconds, she hurriedly raised her head and looked at the Nighthawks around her. "I'm... I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Megose apologized repeatedly, her tone tinged with tears. "I don't know what's wrong. I've been in a daze these past few days, feeling like I'm not myself... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you..."

Cecima frowned and looked at Megose. She seemed... awake?

Out of caution, Cesimar did not put down the holy sword.

Dunn looked at the girl sitting on the floor crying, thought for two seconds, and threw a coat over to her.

Megose then realized that her clothes were torn and immediately picked up her coat and put it on.

"Thank you." The girl said timidly.

"How much do you remember now? How did you come back to life?" Dunn asked tentatively.

"I remember everything, from the moment I became pregnant until now. I remember everything," Megose sobbed. "Resurrection? I, I don't know. I'm not dead."

Seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of those around her, Megose clutched her coat in panic, her voice trembling slightly. "I... I'm probably not dead, but I was definitely near death... When I was lying on the ground... I was conscious... but... but... I wasn't breathing. I thought I was going to die."

"And then?" Dunn asked immediately, taking a deep breath. "Don't be nervous. Speak slowly."

Megose nodded, clutching her coat tightly. "Then I felt a surge of heat from my abdomen spreading throughout my body, and then... then I woke up."

"I can feel it, but I don't know why," Megose touched her belly, "The baby must be gone."

Cesimar and Dunn exchanged a glance. After a moment's hesitation, Cesimar slowly lowered her sword and said to Megose, "We understand, young lady. We will handle you properly. My name is Cesimar Crest."

"Dunne Smith." Dunne stretched out his hand, trying to pull Megaos up.

Megose hesitated for a moment, then slowly placed her hand on Dunn's. She opened her mouth and said:

"Megose."

Eve looked at the ugly doll in her hand, which was surrounded by black flames, and chuckled softly. The black flames gradually engulfed the doll, leaving not even a trace of ash. "Good child, I'm sorry for putting you through this."
