Mystery: The Stars Returner

Every time Benson went to the bathroom, Melissa would go to the kitchen door to guard in case anyone inside suddenly disappeared.

"Benson, Melissa, it's time for dinner." Klein came out of the kitchen carrying beef stew. Melissa just glanced at him and went to the kitchen of her own accord, bringing out the other two dishes. Mori set the tableware.

The three people were sitting in their respective seats as usual.

"I haven't changed much, right?" Klein touched his cheek. He hadn't used his original appearance for a while. When he looked in the mirror, he felt much stranger.

Benson and Melissa just shook their heads and did not speak.

"That's good. I'm afraid I'm too strange.

"I'm so old that you can't recognize me anymore." Klein smiled and said, "If you haven't thought of what to ask, you can finish dinner first. We still have plenty of time later."

"Benson, you have lost a lot of weight recently. You need to eat more beef."

"Melissa, it's time for you to grow up. Don't treat yourself badly when studying."

As Klein spoke, Benson and Melissa each filled a bowl of beef stew.

"You don't have to worry about money. My salary has increased recently. Now my weekly salary is about 22 pounds a week. If you add some living allowances and bonuses, my annual income has exceeded 1500 pounds."

"It's higher than the salary of an average barrister."

"Benson, you've been wearing this suit for many years. It's time to change into a new one. There is a famous clothing store in the West End, and the craftsmanship is also very good."

"Melissa, you should also buy yourself a few new sets of skirts. Beautiful clothes are always an indispensable decoration for a girl."

"We should also buy a new big house, preferably with four bathrooms. As for hiring a chef or a servant, I don't think we can adapt to outsiders entering our lives yet."

"That's okay. My work is much easier now than before. I can get off work at five o'clock every day and go home. I have normal holidays on Saturdays and Sundays, and I also get half a month of annual leave every year."

"The working environment is also good. It is in the Hillston area, which is relatively prosperous and shopping is very convenient, except that the price is a bit expensive."

"Benson, you should have been there too."

"I have plenty of time. I can cook for dinner in the future. Of course, on Saturdays and Sundays, we can go out and enjoy specialties from different places."

"Eat some quickly, otherwise it will cool down. In that case, the taste will be much worse."

"My cooking skills haven't deteriorated yet, I hope."

"Come on, have a taste."

With a relaxed smile on his face, Klein spoke slowly.

He felt that he had not spoken for a long time, so when he started talking, he couldn't stop talking and wanted to keep talking until he finished all the things he had not had time to say in these years.

Benson and Melissa still didn't speak, they just ate the beef stew in the bowl silently. It tasted very good because it still tasted the same as before.

But it seems to have changed a bit, with a bit more mature flavor after precipitation.

After taking a few bites, Melissa could no longer hold back her emotions and lay on the table and burst into tears.

Benson was also affected by Melissa's sudden burst of emotion and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.

Klein just smiled and watched the scene. He had missed so much over the years, but fortunately, he was back now.

In fact, he really should come back earlier, earlier, and earlier.

But it's okay now, Benson and Melissa have been staying there waiting for him to come back.

Chapter 669: Faking death to maintain world peace

About half an hour or an hour later, Klein brought the beef stew back to the kitchen to heat it up. When he brought it out again, Benson and Melissa gradually regained their composure.

But they still couldn't believe that Klein was really back.

They had dreamed about this kind of daily life many times, and they even thought about what would happen after Klein got married.

"Are you really back?" Benson said his first words tremblingly, "I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"I'm really back, and I've never died." Klein explained seriously: "It was because of a top-secret mission that I had to, there was no way, I needed to escape through suspended animation, and then I went to carry out this secret mission. "

"Although I don't want to do anything to deceive you, and I don't want to see you shed tears for someone like me who is pretending to be dead."

"But someone has to complete the task. As you know, the whole world has changed a lot during this time, and I am working hard to save the world."

"There is a limit to what I can do, but as a believer of the Night Goddess and a member of the Nighthawks, maintaining the peace of this world is something we must face and deal with."

Benson, Melissa, please forgive me for deceiving you with such a lie.

Klein explained for a long time before Benson and Melissa gradually accepted the miracle of resurrection from the dead.

After heating it, Benson ate a large piece of stewed beef. He was silent for a while and then said with a naive smile: "Yes, it still has the same taste. It has never changed."

"It's okay, just heat it up again, it will still have the same taste." Klein said with a smile, then picked up the pot of beef stew and walked to the kitchen to heat it again.

"very nice."

But in the corner of my heart, there is still a small place that I firmly believe in.

All Klein felt was heartache. He gently patted Melissa on the back and comforted her: "I'm back and I won't leave again. Really, I will always be with you and Benson."

Although I hope that the person in front of me is the real Klein, I am more afraid that he is fake and the joy is in vain.

When the time hand pointed to ten o'clock in the evening, Benson and Melissa were still in high spirits and did not look sleepy at all.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

"While we were just talking, this pot of beef stew was already cold." Benson wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, feeling embarrassed to speak.

After dinner, the three of them sat on the sofa and talked about what had happened to them over the years.

Compared to Melissa who collapsed and cried, Benson looked much calmer. He turned slightly sideways so that Klein could not see his specific expression clearly.

"It will always be this beautiful."

Benson said that he could take three days' personal leave, and Melissa also said that the teachers in her school were very easy to talk to.

After some questioning, Klein's easy-to-answer responses, as well as his revealed personality and habits, were completely consistent with the original Klein.

After a while, when Melissa

After calming down, he asked Klein with a stern face about the details of their life together in Tingen City.

This time, Benson and Melissa still had chubby bellies. The difference was that Benson and Melissa no longer had stomach upsets due to overeating.

"Yeah, that's great."

Because they had such simple hopes from the beginning, but the passage of time made the luster of hope in their eyes dimmer and dimmer.

Klein took out the small cake he bought specially from the corner of the kitchen and handed it to Melissa's hand. Just like before, Melissa just lowered her head and tasted the small cake in her hand.

"It's really you who are back. It's good to be back. It's good to be back." Benson finally let go of the last bit of wariness and suspicion in his heart, believing that the young man in front of him, who was no longer so handsome, was his brother Klein, who passed away suddenly.

"Here, Melissa, this is a small cake specially prepared for you."

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door, and the heartbeats of Benson and Melissa unnaturally skipped half a beat. They stared at Klein with worried and nervous eyes, fearing that he would disappear because of the sudden knock on the door.

"I will always stay here." Klein smiled and asked Benson to open the door.

When Benson opened the door uneasily, he was stunned for a while before inviting the late-night visitor into the house.

Archbishop Anthony, now head of St. Samuel's Church.

Benson and Melissa knew that Klein was a believer in the Goddess of the Night. After Klein's sudden death, they went to St. Samuel's Church many times to pray to the Goddess of the Night. They were deeply impressed by Archbishop Anthony.

"Sir, Madam, please forgive me for disturbing you tonight." Archbishop Anthony took off his black hat and bowed slightly in greeting.

"Dear Archbishop Anthony, it is our honor for you to come here." Benson said politely anxiously.

When he saw Archbishop Anthony's eyes falling on Klein from time to time, his heart tightened and he said nervously: "Archbishop Anthony, I know that as a believer of the goddess of the night and a respected night watcher, this is a huge honor. But can you please not let my only brother, my closest relative who just came back alive, take risks again?"

"Mr. Benson, I think you have misunderstood something. I didn't come here to ask Mr. Klein to do anything dangerous. I just came to apologize to you and provide proof of his identity."

Archbishop Anthony smiled gently, looked at Klein and said: "Dear Mr. Klein, he is the most devout believer of the goddess and a bright light in the Nighthawks. He has completed the task assigned by the goddess and successfully returned to Backlund. , he will have only glory and no adventure for the rest of his life."

Hearing this, Benson and Melissa breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and then realized that Archbishop Anthony had not been invited to sit down, but that this distinguished guest from afar had been allowed to stand and speak.

"How rude. Please sit over here."

Benson invited Archbishop Anthony to take a seat. After sitting down, Klein said his first words.

"Archbishop Anthony, are you here tonight to convey the goddess's oracle?"

"You are a goddess

You are a devout believer and have made great contributions to world peace. The goddess has specially sent down an oracle to reward your achievements."

Archbishop Anthony spoke very politely, but he already knew that the young-looking Mr. Klein in front of him was now a Sequence 2 Miracle Master.

This is an earthly angel!

Judging from how much the goddess values ​​him, he is most likely the goddess' favored one.

Maybe in the future, this Mr. Klein will become the Pope of the Church of the Night Goddess, or an existence second only to the Pope.

"Thank you to the goddess for your blessing." Klein simply thanked the goddess. He didn't want to get involved in too many chores now.

He didn't even want to get directly involved in the conflict between the Night Goddess and the stars, even though the Night Goddess did help him.

"Praise the goddess." Archbishop Anthony said kindly: "I think it's time for me to leave. Today is your day of reunion. I shouldn't have disturbed you."

Benson and Melissa looked at each other, gave up their polite words to persuade him to stay, and just silently sent Archbishop Anthony to the door.

The door closed again, and Benson and Melissa breathed a sigh of relief.

"Klein, I want you to promise me and Melissa that you will never take risks again in the future." Benson said with a serious face.

"I'll try to do that."

"Klein..." Benson was a little disappointed.

"I don't want to say deceitful words. I am willing to be ordinary and willing to stay with you all the time. But if something really happens, I can't sit back and ignore it."

"..."

Benson and Melissa didn't say anything else, but told Klein to put his own safety first.

At two or three o'clock in the night, Melissa reluctantly went back to her room to sleep. As for Benson, he insisted on being in the same room with Klein to prevent him from disappearing again when he woke up.

When Benson had just laid out the quilt, there was a knock on the door. It was Melissa. She was holding a ball of quilt in her hands, her eyes were determined, and she wanted to make the floor in Klein's room.

Klein just looked at this scene with a smile, and then suggested that they go to the living room and chat on the floor together until dawn.
