Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 176 There is no need to send family knives or anything like that.
Zouteland Street, Blackthorn Security Company.

After reporting the findings of the investigation to Senior Deacon Krestai, Dunn and Leonard looked at each other, not knowing how to face Klein's family next.

The atmosphere fell silent at this time until Krestai took the initiative to ask about this matter.

"Are you sure that the one who was taken away by the spiritual creature was Klein?"

"Yes, judging from his fighting habits and the way he cooperates, he should be Klein, a member of our team."

With a heavy heart, Dunn replied with a hint of worry in his grey eyes.

Because there are too many suspicious points about Klein, even if we don’t consider how he was able to determine that the news about the offspring of the evil god was true in the first place.

Just the mention of the final involvement with the spiritual creature is enough to make people doubt - does he have some secret?
Is he even a spy sent by that entity to the Church of Night?

If Klein was suspected of being a spy sent by another organization, even the pension to his family after his death would be difficult to approve.

Without even the several thousand pounds in pension, wouldn't Klein have lost the last legacy he left for his family?

Captain Dunn didn't want to see this happen.

Fortunately, Krestel did not say anything in this regard. He just explained it to Dunn and Leonard, and said that they should comfort the family of the deceased Klein and be careful with their words.

After all, the Church of Night didn't even bring his body.

This made it difficult for both Dunn and Leonard to face Klein's brother and sister.

And, in theory, maybe they could repackage the story so that Klein's family could be better comforted.

Even though it sounds ridiculous.

But no matter what, what needs to be faced must be faced.

So after a conversation with Lord Krestey, Dunn took Leonard to Klein's home.

……

Jingle, jingle.

At 2 Daffodil Street, Dunn silently rang the doorbell of Klein's house.

Even though he felt that what Lord Krestey said was only a theoretical possibility, it was still a little hard for Dunn to accept.

Not to mention ordinary people like Klein's brother and sister.

Do you really want to say something like this?
The door slowly opened, and Dunn saw Melissa's face, which was no longer so thin and had a certain color.

After considering his words, Dunn's grey eyes met Melissa's bright but slightly nervous brown eyes.

……

At No. 2 Daffodil Street, Melissa sat on the single sofa, waiting for her brother Klein to come home.

Today, due to the inexplicable incident in Tingen City, students have gone on strike.

Benson sat beside her, waiting with his sister Melissa, his body posture somewhat tense.

As an older brother, he had already vaguely anticipated that his younger brother's job was not an ordinary one.

After all, which security company whose mission is to find, collect and protect antiques would pay its consultants in advance and give them bonuses from time to time...

And it turns out that there is a certain connection with the police department.

Especially for a college graduate, the salary is so generous, reaching 3 pounds per week.

So every time Klein came back late from a mission, he would always see Bane and Melissa waiting at the main gate.

Today is no exception.

I hope the reality isn't that distressing...

Suddenly, they heard the doorbell ringing, jingle, jingle.

Melissa stood up with a hint of anticipation and trotted to the door.

Turning the handle and opening the door, Melissa was stunned for a moment because she didn't know the visitor.

This is a young man with black hair and black eyes. His appearance makes people feel excited at first sight, and he has an indescribable extraordinary charm.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Melissa asked.

"Hello, my name is Star, and I know both of your brothers."

He gave a sincere smile.

……

Leonard's voice was a little hoarse, and he didn't dare to say anything.

When he actually faced Klein's family, he became timid.

However, the reactions of Melissa and Benson were beyond Leonard's expectations.

They actually accepted the "lie" that was woven for them quite calmly.

"So, Klein is really going to be sent out for a long time. It is possible that we won't be able to see each other again in the next period of time, right?"

Benson asked with the intention of verifying the facts with Captain Dunn and the others.

They are so stupid, really...

How could such a thing really happen?

Leonard's eyes were red. He didn't expect that after Klein's death, he would have to say such hypocritical words to his family.

Even if it was like what was said in the newspaper some time ago that the person "missing in the attack", it would be better than this. At least this is not a lie, but it also implicitly states the truth.

Of course, for that person, disappearing in the attack of the Aurora Society might be because he got tired of playing and found a reason to get away.

But for Klein, Klein was definitely dead. Could he really lie to his brother and sister like this?

Even in the mysterious world, coming back to life from the dead is simply impossible.

They are so stupid, really...

Leonard could hardly conceal the deep sadness and bitterness in his heart.

Captain Dunn next to him did not think of "appeasing" according to what Lord Krestey said. This time, Klein's sister Melissa and brother Benson really believed it.

They believed it as if Klein himself had told them something.

This trust also made him feel even more guilty.

Because Dunn really didn't understand how they would cover up the lie if they found out the truth.

Is it to gradually reveal the fact that Klein is dead?

Ok……

Although this is a bit troublesome, Dunn is still willing to do it if it can reduce the psychological impact on Klein's family.

After a moment of silence, Dunn and Leonard left.

They felt a little guilty about continuing to stay in Klein's house.

Especially seeing Klein's family members looking a little worried.

Captain Dunn and Leonard were at a loss as to what to do after Klein's private funeral.

All in all, it would be nice if Klein really said as Kleist said for some reason, "I just went to a faraway place to do some work."

Unfortunately, he is already dead, and even his family has to be kept in the dark...

Thinking of this, Dunn couldn't help but pause as he turned back after saying goodbye. His grey eyes dimmed a little, and he walked away with a less steady pace than before. …

Melissa and Benson couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Captain Dunn and the member named Leonard leave.

With a timid expression on her face, Melissa asked her brother Benson:
"Why would Klein get involved in this kind of thing?"

"To participate in a mission like this, there is a possibility that you may not be able to come back for a while."

"Could it be that Klein has really joined some dangerous organization?"

At this time, Benson let out a long breath. He was actually a little bit unbelievable that Klein would do this.

But he finally smiled bitterly:

"The guy said it should be fine."

"And there's nothing we can do about it. Klein is our family."

None of them seemed to have thought that Klein would never come back.

I dare not think so.

In any case, Benson and Melissa are now waiting for their relatives to return.

……

“I wonder how Klein will react after he finds out that I revealed so many things in front of his family.”

Star stood in the corner of Blackthorn Security Company and thought.

Touching the bracelet made with the extraordinary characteristic of "Psychologist", Star recalled the whole process.

After obtaining the "Shepherd" ability from Mr. Z, Star immediately used the "Search Spell" to separate the extraordinary characteristics that were released when he died.

The extraordinary characteristics of "Psychologist" were made into the bracelet he was holding.

Directly combining extraordinary characteristics with a specific item can also make it a magical item, but this kind of magical item usually has very large negative effects.

Similar to the "Magician's Ring", it is difficult to use as a sealed object, and one must even be extra careful and avoid the dangers it may bring.

With the "Search Spell", Star can try to combine it several times using the simplest method, and maybe by luck he can create a magical item whose negative effects are within a reasonable range.

Of course, generally speaking, even if Star is a "lucky guy" and has good luck, this kind of directly formed magical item will usually have great negative effects, unless it takes a lot of time to slowly create it?
This may also be due to the crazy background of this world.

But it doesn't matter. Following the idea of ​​"when the right thing is difficult, then the wrong thing", Star finally got the effect he wanted after several attempts.

A magical item with living properties.

In other words, a seal.

Anyway, things will be easier as long as we can communicate.

“Between Reality and Illusion” confronts these “living” magical objects and asks them “Are you moved?”

If they dare to move, they will be melted until they are so "moved" that they dare not move anymore.

This is how the magical item in his hand came about. Star casually named it the "Calm Bracelet".

Look, now this bracelet is so calm and cooperative.

This name should be very appropriate. After all, it also allows Klein's brother and sister to calm down under the "comfort" of the "psychologist", allowing Star to make up a story similar to "Infernal Affairs" for them.

Superimpose the eloquence of the "lawyer" and the "dice rolling" of the "mumbling patient", plus the effect of "dice rolling".

Finally, Star gave them a "psychological hint" - Klein was not dead, he just went on a long journey.

This was not considered deceiving them. After Klein's body was taken away by himself, no one could confirm that Klein was dead.

Well, this is called "no evidence after death"...

Star nodded in satisfaction.

As for what choice Klein will make after his resurrection.

It is a private confession with the family members to comfort them.

Or even return to the church...

Of course, the latter point is unlikely.

But if Klein really had this idea, Star would have the ability to help him out...

There were many people coming and going, but they all seemed to ignore Star, as if he didn't exist there at all.

This was partly due to the enhanced effect of Star's previous "confusion" ability, but ultimately it was due to another thing he found at home - a badge with a pattern on its surface.

With deep black as the background, dots of bright stars surround a half crimson moon.

This is the "Holy Emblem of Darkness" - the symbol of the Goddess of Night.

In fact, when Star was packing up Mr. Z's things, he had already noticed that Mr. Z seemed to have knocked off not only the holy ashes on Crestai's body, but also the holy emblem with the symbol of the "Goddess of Night" on Crestai's body.

But he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, thinking it was just a coincidence, and let Krestai take it himself.

However, when Star saw this "Dark Holy Emblem" with special extraordinary effects on Klein, he knew that this was not a simple coincidence.

The drop of the holy ashes was arranged by the "writer" with the pen holder "0-08", so it is easy to guess which "writer" arranged the drop of the "Holy Emblem of the Night".

This is also the case. After noticing this "fellow countryman" of theirs who cannot be killed and has an inexplicably high status, Adam and Heiye, the two planners, might not mind making friends with him.

Although after Star made some connections through cheats, he was no longer so concerned about whether the goddess invested or not.

But this wave directly elevated him to the status of "God's Favored One".

To be frank, it still smells pretty good...

Many things that need to be done in the future will undoubtedly be much more convenient if the Church of Night can be involved.

And after such an arrangement, Star also came to his senses.

Perhaps the advent of the "True Creator" was planned by Adam from beginning to end, and He does not want His crazy side to officially return now.

In addition, even if Adam is not a true God, he does not need any anchor because of his inherent divinity, but the goddess does.

Would the goddess really sit back and watch Tingen City be destroyed? This was Tingen City, where Klein's family was still living.

Therefore, if there is a sign that the "True Creator" really appears in Tingen City, after the goddess knows about this, she will also activate the "Eraser Angel" divine vessel to come to Tingen City.

Based on the premise that the Night Watchmen of Tingen City have explained the situation to the Holy Temple, the Goddess can arrive at an appropriate time and clean up the battlefield in Tingen City.

It's just that the goddess doesn't want other gods to find out that she is cooperating with Adam, so she might not allow the disaster in Tingen to spread to a certain extent.

By then, it might be a disaster that causes many casualties.

Maybe it's nothing to them.

Just as Star guessed, these two beings might have acquiesced to the actions of the Witch Cult in planning for the royal family.

And will Aurora be with that "real creation"?
Just take the blame!
As for smaller things.

Haha...Star declined to comment.

He didn't want to think about this anymore. There was no benefit in making such malicious speculations.

Anyway, now that we can be sure that they have such an attitude towards their actions, and the ritual of "tampering" requires trouble.

So why not increase the intensity?
