Chapter 420: Diaries and Novels
Crane's vision blurred, he closed his eyes, held back the tears that were about to flow, and thought to himself: Melissa, although I want to go back too, I want to tell you that I am joking...... But that will affect you and Benson...... And, I have my own things to do! I want revenge! I'm going to...... Find your way home!
After a few seconds of silence, Klein adjusted his mind and continued to read the rest of the story:
"September 16th, this was supposed to be the day when I, Benson, and Klein went to see 'The Return of the Count' together......
Seeing that I was not in good spirits, Benson dragged me to the circus in the town square...... I didn't really like circus at all, but I followed him out so as not to worry him too much.
"There, I met a strange clown who looked happy, but I thought he was hiding sadness under that happiness......
"I told Benson how I felt, but he thought it was a psychological effect and almost took me to a psychiatrist......
"But the good news is that after seeing that clown, I'm finally picking myself up again.
"Although Klein is gone, I still have Benson, and good friends such as Selena and Elizabeth, and I can't let them worry about me."
Just cheer up, I didn't expect the "clown" I played really played a role, great...... But Melissa can feel the sadness in my heart? She's inspired...... That's not a good thing......
Well, Mr. Azik's brass whistle must have been in Melissa's custody until I was buried, and she had been holding it for nearly a week, perhaps with some influence.
Reading this, Klein's brows stretched a little, and he habitually analyzed, but he quickly came to his senses, laughed at himself, turned the page, and continued to read his sister's diary:
"On September 18th, the man named Leonard, who claimed to be a colleague of Klein, came again, and as always, he was going to help us with some chores...... But he's clumsy, not even as good as Klein, and he's only going to make things worse.
"Benson suspects what he's trying to do with me, and he's very defensive...... I think the reason why this guy named Leonard came so often was because he felt guilty about Klein...... What is he guilty of? Was he not as brave as Klein when the gangsters attacked? But I remember that he was also injured......
"But today was the last time he came...... He's here to say goodbye, because his job has been reassigned to Beckland...... Hey, although I think he is very annoying, the sudden parting is still a little sad. ”
Do poets feel guilty about me? Why? He had already done his best...... Was it just because he survived? Hey, don't carry everything on your back.
Well, there seem to be other secrets in the poet's classmates, which makes him feel that he is the "protagonist" all the time...... Maybe he had some hidden means that he didn't have time to use?
Thoughtfully, Klein continued to read the rest of his diary.
The rest of the content is much lighter, less heavy, and even a lot of interesting things.
For example, Melissa's mechanical "dolls" made of gears and discarded materials were approved by the school teachers, and an exhibition was held especially for her.
However, the display board is marked with "mechanical turtle......
This incident made Melissa sulk for a few days.
For example, after the Unified Examination for Government Employees Act was officially issued, Benson decided to move to Beckland at the end of the year and encouraged Melissa to apply for the newly formed Beckland Technical University.
For example, Bella, the house's maid of chores, finally learned a few specialty dishes passed down by Klein, so that Melissa no longer worries about eating the "leftovers stew" from the morning to the night before......
For example, Benson met a lady in the library who was very attractive to him, but never met him again, so he had to use his unique "persuasion" talent to get the administrator to tell her the name "Ruth Brooke".
Unfortunately, there was no lady with this name in the social circle he could contact, maybe she was from another city, and she only passed by occasionally.
……
The bits and pieces recorded in the diary made the corners of De Crane's mouth unconsciously hook, and he even had the urge to go to the gray mist on the spot to help Benson divinate the whereabouts of Lady Ruth; I had the urge to summon my own spirit to help Melissa steal the exam questions......
Thankfully, he remembered what it was, and that wasn't necessarily better for Benson and Melissa......
"With Melissa's character, I'm afraid I'm going to report it the first time I get the test questions?
And Benson ...... It's rare for him to be tempted, so let him find his sweetheart by himself, I believe that with his ability, it's not that difficult...... As long as that lady is not extraordinary. ”
After muttering a few words to himself, Klein closed the journal and memorized its contents in his heart.
This "Dream Labyrinth Tower" can really give the information or knowledge that those who succeed in the level want to know...... Without Linster's influence, it's a great place for adventure...... Especially for the traverser.
However, if the later scenes are still those "familiar" plots, even if Linster has arranged it in advance, it is not certain whose "home field" it is!
Thinking of this, Klein let the diary dissipate on its own, and then turned to look at Sharon on the other side, only to find that the young lady, who was like a delicate puppet, had a rare mood swing in her blue eyes at the moment.
Klein didn't have the ability to interpret the "audience" and couldn't taste Miss Sharon's specific mood, only vaguely feeling that she was a little hated and a little sad.
However, Sharon quickly restrained her abnormal reaction and turned back into an extremely delicate "doll".
She first let the notebook disappear in her hand, then looked at Sherlock Moriarty next to her and said:
"Go ahead, get basic clearance after the seventh layer and leave."
Klein thought the same way, after all, "waking up" in front of the seventh layer is an act of renunciation...... He guessed that this was the price Linster had to pay for some of the "help tips" he had set up for them.
Then, the two of them "meditated" for a moment to calm down, and then they stepped into the dream scene passage on the eighth floor together.
……
Beckland, Intis Embassy.
Special Envoy Mr. Owen summoned the "Puppet Master" Tander to inform him of the explosion in the docklands, and told him to postpone his plan to induce Stewart for the time being.
Hearing this, Tan De nodded depressedly and sighed: "Beckland is really chaotic!" ”
"To be the center of the development of the times, there is naturally some price to pay." Mr. Owen laughed, meaningfully.
"The development of the times?" Tan De frowned and repeated puzzled.
"Nothing...... It's just a momentary emotion. Envoy Owen shook his head secretly and diverted the subject.
……
Underneath the Cathedral of the Holy Wind, Stewart and former captain Quinn listened to the current captain McConaughey's investigation, and the former said thoughtfully: "They are all having an affair with a lady named Erin?" Who is that lady? Which side does it belong to? ”
"It's not clear...... Erin, the daughter of a timber merchant, had had illicit relationships with many men in the past...... The most notable of these is a detective named 'Zerell', who was later confirmed to be a spy for Forsak, who was killed by the former Intis ambassador Bekron during the previous battle over the third-generation Difference Manuscript. McConaughey replied.
"Before the 'Witch of Pain' incident, I had commissioned this detective to search for people who had been contaminated by the characteristics of the 'Reasoning Student', and his work was not very good, but he still completed the task preliminarily." Kuhn thought for a moment and added.
"So this Erin...... Could it be someone sent by the 'Esoteric Order' to approach Zeriel? Although this was logical reasoning, Stewart felt that it would not be so simple, so he asked, "Where is this lady now?" ”
"I don't know...... She has been completely missing since a few days ago, and even her real boyfriend, Mr. Bingley, is nowhere to be found. Well, Mr. Bingley's mother has called the police at the moment. McConaughey replied as he looked at the dossier in his hand.
Stewart pondered for a moment, then hesitated, "I have a secret technique, maybe I can find her location......"
"Since there is such a secret technique, hurry up and use it!" Kuhn said with a frown.
"The essence of that secret technique is actually to borrow power from the '2-111' of the Steam Church, and I have been 'discovered' by him, and he has bypassed the restrictions...... So, it's better to do it with someone else......" Stewart said thoughtfully.
“‘2-111’?” The corners of McConaughey's mouth twitched a few times, and he didn't feel like he had the courage to try, so he pretended not to hear.
And Kuhn, who became a caretaker after the witch incident, didn't know the "prestige" of "2-111" in the Storm Church, and said very boldly: "Then I'll come!" It's not as good as it used to be, but you can still do it with the help of a secret technique that you've arranged......"
Stewart looked at him deeply, both happy and a little pity for the upcoming "Arcane Q&A" scene.
Fortunately, there are only three of them here.
……
Dream Labyrinth Tower, after experiencing the scene of searching for "Monster Thief 1412" on a cruise ship on the eighth floor, Crane and Sharon successfully returned to the "Rewards" and got various rewards.
Miss Sharon seemed to have been given an anonymous check, which she calmly jotted down and destroyed.
Crane, on the other hand, gets a book called "Modern Iron Man", which tells the story of the "Iron Man" sponsored by Ms. Cross Fia in various cities.
"Although the plot is very exciting, whether it is strength or strategy, the new 'Iron Man' is also very qualified...... But what does this have to do with me? ”
Crane put down his hand in confusion and muttered to himself.
