"Dear Crane:"
"By the time you receive this letter, I have already settled in Backlund. The specific address is No. 67 Williams Street, Backlund, West District."
"..."
"My life is gradually getting on the right track. I wonder how you are doing now?"
"I think you must be a little worried about the interview now, right? Don't worry, you have to believe in your abilities. I know that you are fully qualified to be a trainee lecturer at Tingen University."
"When you have a stable income, remember to prioritize improving the quality of life at home, use money to save energy, and invest it in more valuable areas."
"Come on, good times are yet to come."
"By the way, say hello to Melissa and Benson for me."
"Looking forward to hearing from you - Valeera."
After reading this letter, which was more than one page long, Klein - Zhou Mingrui's version of Klein felt very complicated.
Although the content of this letter did not contain any words that clearly expressed emotion, but instead talked about a lot of details about daily life, he could still feel the closeness behind the words.
】
You don't treat me like an outsider... However, I can't accept you so quickly. No matter what, my first goal is to "anti-travel" back to the original world.
And fast!
Klein felt that the bond of his original body was affecting him bit by bit, shaking his determination to "return".
If you can't find a way to go back as soon as possible, then over time, "whether to go back or not" may become a real dilemma.
And through the "Transfer Ceremony" and after inexplicably convening a "gathering" above the gray fog, he learned that this world has extraordinary power.
Obviously, mastering extraordinary power can help him better find a way to "go back".
So how do you become a transcendent?
Like the seaweed-haired gentleman said, join a church, such as the Church of the Goddess of the Night?
Or...that Antigonus family notebook?
Before remembering to go to the mailbox outside the house to collect subscriptions to the "Tingen Honest" and receiving a letter of greetings from Valeela, Klein looked through "his" recent notes.
Looking at the notes, especially the last sentence "Everyone will die, including me." made him feel terrified and at the same time suspected that this was a note related to extraordinary power.
He felt that in order to solve the mystery of the original owner's suicide, he should go to Welch's place and take a look at the contents of the ancient notebook.
But with rich "experience" in movies and TV series, he feels that if he goes there, and if the matter is indeed related, he will probably encounter unknown dangers - those guys who know that there are ghosts in the castle and still seek death are a warning!
But it’s no good if you don’t go. Escape will never solve the problem. It will only make things more tiring and tiring until the dam bursts and floods you completely!
Call the police? You can't say I committed suicide...
winter!
Dongdong!
At this moment, there was a sudden and powerful knock on the door downstairs.
"who?"
Klein walked to the window, looked downstairs, and saw four police officers wearing black uniforms with white checks and bonnets with badges standing at the door.
"As you can see."
The policeman standing in front with a brown beard raised his head and shouted to Klein:
"police."
"Okay, I'll be right away!" Klein responded loudly.
He turned around and walked to the door of the room. Suddenly he remembered something, so he returned to the desk and took out the brass-colored revolver.
After walking out of the room, he quickly walked into Valeera's exclusive bathroom and hid the pistol in the gap between the bathtub and the wall.
After confirming that there were no flaws, he went downstairs and opened the door, "Sorry, I was just taking a nap."
Klein remembered that the policeman standing in front of him had seen him several times. He was one of the patrol officers in charge of Daffodil Street, named Pres Walker.
Press Walker coughed lightly and said to Klein:
"These three police officers have something to ask you."
…
Of the three police officers Pres Walker was referring to, one was his superior, and the other two were the captain of the Nighthawks squad, Dunn Smith, and team member Leonard Michel.
After some questions and answers, Klein used every word of truth to cover up the fact that his original body committed suicide and was possessed by him through time. He temporarily got rid of the suspicion of the tragedy of the Welch family.
After all, Dunn was very sure that Welch and Naya died from supernatural powers, and Crane was only a participant at best and could not be the real murderer.
In fact, his and the inspector's ideas were not consistent.
The inspector wanted to find the murderer as soon as possible and calm the panic that other people might have; while Dunn focused on the Antigonus family notebook.
There is no doubt that it is a dangerous sealed object. It should be found as soon as possible and sealed behind the "Chanis Gate" under the church.
After the police officers left, Crane acted as an actor all afternoon, pretending to be disturbed and agitated, even though he was the only one in the house.
He did it to guard against possible police surveillance.
This happened to be a coincidence, and temporarily confused Riggins, a member of the Secret Order who was secretly watching, making him think that Crane had little to do with the Antigonus family notes.
…
eight pm.
After dinner, Valeela took a stroll in the yard.
The lawn is newly replaced, and the garden is simply decorated with a few common flowers that are blooming nowadays——
This is a basic restoration done by a home improvement company that focuses on restoring functionality rather than sophistication.
If you want a more exquisite effect, you can only ask gardeners and gardeners to improve it, or ask the corresponding team to redesign it.
Valeela certainly wouldn't waste her money on this.
She came down for a walk, ostensibly to eat up after a meal, but in fact the more important purpose was to explore the treasure house of this villa.
Of course there won't be any real treasures in the treasury of this villa. Even if there were, they would have been sold off to pay off debts.
What Valeela wanted to see was actually the treasure trove itself.
Generally speaking, the treasure house of a villa is divided into two parts: inside and outside.
The internal treasure house is small, mostly located in the secret rooms on the third floor of the villa. The entrance to many secret rooms is directly in the master bedroom, where the owner's treasures are placed;
The external treasure house is larger and is often planned underground in the villa, far away from other areas such as underground storage rooms, and the only entrance is located inside the villa, where ordinary valuables are placed.
The special thing about the outer treasury is that butlers and personal servants who are trusted by the master are also eligible to enter, so the entrance is not very hidden.
Although Valeela felt that "Azik's Mask" should be placed in the inner vault by Count Wolfe, she still planned to be fully prepared before acting just in case.
The design of each garden villa is different, but the overall functional divisions are similar.
Valeela used the Qili ancestral house to carry out a certain degree of advance practice. There is no guarantee of how good the results will be, but she will definitely not do useless work.
After walking in the garden for more than half an hour, through the exploration of the "invisible thread", Valeera felt that she was ready for action.
