Klein's prediction was not bad. Sure enough, he saw the beautiful maid with long brown hair at the end of the passage.
"Mr. Moriarty," Leah stepped forward and asked with a smile, "my lady would like to invite you to the cafeteria for a cup of coffee, is that okay?"
Klein smiled and nodded, "Of course."
"Then please come with me," Liya gestured sideways, "go this way."
Klein followed the beautiful maid and approached the location of his "ex" girlfriend step by step.
On the way, a question suddenly popped into his mind——
Should I know how I was resurrected?
The smile on Klein's face suddenly stiffened a bit, and he realized that this was a very important issue, but he had never thought of it before.
These few steps are definitely not enough time for me to think clearly about this problem... Just when he was feeling a little uneasy, he suddenly saw the sign of the bathroom not far away.
Yes.
Klein's eyes lit up and he immediately spoke:
"Can you wait a moment? I suddenly want to go to the bathroom."
Seeing the beautiful maid turn back, he smiled apologetically and pointed to the sign of the bathroom.
"Of course," Liya nodded, "I'll wait for you here..."
Klein saw the little worry contained in her unfinished words, waved his hand before leaving, and said in relief:
"Don't worry, it won't be long."
After entering the bathroom and closing the wooden door, Klein sat on the toilet, rested his chin on his hand, and began to seriously consider the problem he had just thought of.
[In view of the general environment,
There are only two answers——
"Know" and "Don't know".
The answer to this question will have a great impact on his attitude when he is about to contact Valeera. The core of it lies in the relationship between him and "The Fool".
If "I don't know", then the theory would be that he somehow resurrected from the dead and chose to come to Backlund incognito because he was afraid of contamination, fear of losing control, fear of church investigation, and fear of revenge...
This explanation is very reasonable...if he doesn't plan to explain the situation to Valeela and ask for help.
This is an obvious flaw that cannot be avoided——
A few days ago, Mr. "The Fool" said that she had a scroller who came to Backlund and needed to kill Intis Ambassador Backlund, but it was not convenient for him to do it... As a result, he was resurrected by "The Fool" and also offended Backlund. He's so stupid that he doesn't know "The Fool"?
This doesn't make sense.
But if he "knows", then how should he explain his behavior during this period, especially how he deliberately avoided Valeela who asked "The Fool" to resurrect him?
This is also a difficult problem.
Could it be said to be "Mr. Fool's mission"?
But if this is the case, then why does "The Fool" seek help for him at the "Tarot Club"? Isn't this a contradiction?
…
After a while, Klein left the bathroom and followed the beautiful maid to the cafeteria.
It's still lunch time, and there are only a few dining members or guests sitting in the restaurant.
Valeera was sitting quietly on a window seat on the edge, with her dark purple wide-brimmed hat and a cup of Marquis black tea with lemon slices in front of her.
"Hello, Miss Vicky."
Klein smiled and said hello again before sitting down on the seat opposite Valeera.
"The famous detective Sherlock Moriarty?" Valeera's eyes were always lingering on Klein's face, and there was a hint of mistiness in her soft tone, "You came to Backlund recently. Of?"
"Yes." Klein felt as if his cheeks were a little feverish.
Valeera nodded almost invisibly and asked again:
"Can I ask where you are?
Are you from here? "
"Jianhai County," Klein didn't dare to look at Valeera's serious expression, "I'm from Jianhai County, Constant City."
Valeera nodded again, seemingly a little louder.
At this time, the beautiful maid who brought him here brought him a cup of coffee - plateau coffee, with three sugar cubes and a spoon of milk. This was a request she had made clear on the way. She placed it in front of him, and Klein responded. A silent smile.
"I also have a friend in Constant City, his surname is McGowan." Valeera did not use a questioning tone this time.
Of course, Klein understood what she meant by saying that, and he didn’t make any more detours. He nodded and replied:
"It's quite a coincidence. Although I haven't met him in person, I have heard of a banker named McGovern in Constant City."
Valeera said no more.
She picked up the cup of Marquis black tea on the table and sipped it, one sip after another.
Seeing her acting like this, Klein suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and he didn't know what to say, so he had to pick up the coffee and take a big sip, letting the mixed sweetness and bitterness melt in his mouth.
After a while, Valeela seemed to have regained control of her emotions.
She put down the black tea, picked up the purple wide-brimmed hat, stood up, and asked Klein:
"Mr. Moriarty, can you do me a favor?"
"Of course," Klein stood up, "It's my honor to serve you."
"plz follow me."
Valeela put on her hat and walked in front, and Liya, who was a little confused, immediately followed.
Klein sighed and followed.
The three of them left the cafeteria and went up to the second floor.
Valeela asked for a lounge.
She opened the door, stared at Klein with misty eyes, and said:
"Please come in."
Klein felt his heart pounding.
When he entered the door, the restricted scene he saw during the divination yesterday suddenly flashed through his mind.
"You wait outside."
Valila left these words and closed the door, leaving her personal maid Liya outside.
Liya stood at the door, a little surprised, a little stunned... What is the lady going to do? Why is she suddenly so close to this man she just met? Could it be that he was under some kind of confusing spell?
She looked at both sides of the empty aisle, not knowing what to do for a moment.
…
in the room.
As soon as the door was closed, Valeela turned around and threw herself into the big detective's arms, hugging him tightly.
"Klein, Klein..."
She called his name again and again.
Klein's reaction was a little stiff at first, but after a moment, he put his arms around Valeela's slender waist and patted her back gently.
After a while, Valeela loosened her hands and took out of Klein's arms.
She looked at Klein with her tear-filled eyes and asked:
"Why don't you come to me?"
Klein put down his arms in despair, sighed, and replied:
"Because I haven't thought about it yet.
"So many things have happened during this period, some you know and some you don't.
"I haven't figured out how to deal with it, nor how to face you, and I'm even more confused about the destination of my soul..."
Klein secretly pointed out his "shaking" in his faith, and finally faced Valeera's silent gaze and said:
"I'm sorry, Valeera.
"I should have come to see you earlier."
He thought that his words were reasonable and harmonious enough to deal with all the questions Valeera had when they first met. However, Valeera's reply made him feel surprised and flustered.
"Kleon, I feel like you... have "grown up". "
explain
As she spoke, there seemed to be a hint of suspicion in Valeera's dark brown eyes.
