"Esther, the steam train is coming in." Benjamin shook the three tickets in his hand at the two of them.

The rabbit looked away in disgust: "Why is he still here......

Esther smiled and sighed, "No way, after all, I made an appointment with Mr. Benjamin to help him with something."

Benjamin didn't have the consciousness of being disgusted: "Yes, the secrets of adults, you as an ordinary child should not inquire about them."

"Mr. Benjamin, please don't say anything misleading." Esther took the ticket he handed over, "But thank you for offering to buy a ticket."

"You're welcome, I stole it anyway." Benjamin said with a smile.

Esther heard the hidden "fraud" in this sentence and looked at Benjamin with amusement: "You...... There's no need to make jokes like that."

The rabbit touched the ticket in his hand, did not speak, but subconsciously leaned behind Esther. Obviously, regardless of the attitude on the surface, the boy was still quite afraid of Benjamin inside, and was afraid of him at all times.

The trio, like the other passengers, boarded the steam train in an orderly manner with their tickets in hand.

A few minutes later, to the sound of a high-pitched whistle, the train leveraged again, and the wheels turned forward along the tracks, carrying the passengers to the scheduled station.

Benjamin bought a second-class seat, and the rabbit happily sat by the window, and he loved the sight of the speeding outside, and when the two came to Tingen, the rabbit stared out of the window until he began to snooze out of sleepiness.

But to the rabbit's displeasure, Benjamin sat directly next to him.

The rabbit stared at Benjamin silently for two seconds, then got up and sat down in the row opposite, and Esther sat down next to the rabbit to quiet the boy, who had shown a little apprehension.

Noticing Esther's disapproving gaze, Benjamin just smiled at her, and then moved himself to a seat near the window, "I didn't do anything."

The rabbit looked out the window, trying not to fall on the gentleman whom disgusted him.

Esther held a magazine she had bought outside the station and flipped through the propaganda that next month Tingen would have its annual routine, and the large pages of the articles were devoted to the wonderful performances of the touring circus.

It wasn't long before the rabbit leaned his head against the window in a trance and dozed off in a daze.

He hadn't slept much last night, perhaps because of his experience in the cemetery, which left the rabbit with some kind of shadow. During the night Esther heard the rabbit open and close the door several times, and it was not until Esther sat down in the drawing-room, making sure that the rabbit could see him as soon as he came out, that the boy's wandering ceased, and finally it was almost dawn, and he slept for more than two hours.

Now that the rabbit is sleeping peacefully, it is also a good thing for him, at least he doesn't have to tense his nerves and be overly wary of Benjamin.

Hearing the boy's breathing, which had calmed down from his deep sleep, Benjamin lowered his voice and shouted again, "Esther."

Esther looked up helplessly, "What's the matter, Mr. Benjamin?"

"I'm just thinking about what role to arrange for you, do you have any ideas?"

"You mean the plan to make me play the role of a member of Jacob's family," Esther put down the magazine in her hand and quickly relived the conversation between the two in her mind, "I don't really have much advice. My knowledge of Jacob's family is only superficial."

Benjamin stared at her for a moment: "Then be my ......."

As Esther's gaze became serious, Benjamin coughed lightly, "I suppose a member of a certain family branch should be able to, right?" I got in touch with you by chance.

"The Jacob family is basically not connected with each other, this is to prevent anyone from implicating members of other branches of the family if they are caught by Amon."

Esther shrugged indifferently, "Is there anything I need to pay attention to, then?" Won't there be any other members of Jacob's house?"

Benjamin smiled and tapped his glasses, showing a bit of self-satisfaction:

"Even the members of the family don't know each other very well, they only know each other

There I am. If I, the host of the meeting, are your guarantor, most people will keep their doubts on their lips and will not make things difficult for you."

Esther has to admit that she is also a little curious about the subject: "How do you say it is left on the lips?"

Benjamin pondered his words for a moment: "It's verbal rebuke and rebuke, it's not less, but they talk about it in every meeting, so you don't have to take it too seriously."

Esther thought thoughtfully: "Even within ***, the members are mainly distrustful of each other?"

"They will only be more attentive when it comes to promoting 'mere newcomers,'" Benjamin pointed to Esther, "but you're past this stage, and a strange and demigod extraordinary will only arouse the vigilance of most of the members."

"Especially with the threat of 'blasphemers...... In fact, it's strange that they don't suspect it, after all, this is 'the *** of the thieves, I have the corresponding psychological preparation, you can rest assured of this."

Esther could understand their nervousness, and she thought for a moment, if it were a frequent party where one of the members suddenly pulled out a monocle, stuffed it into her right eye socket, and greeted someone with a happy face—Esther felt that she might well be hovering between fear and anger, and even getting into a fight on the spot.

No, it's better to run away on the spot.

In this way, "online communication" is more reliable, at least no one is facing the threat of being parasitized, thanks to Mr. "Fool......

However, thinking of this bad development, Esther seriously considered the proposal in Klein's previous letter, and it was naturally safer to communicate with others under the protection of Mr. "Fool" than to meet in life.

I don't seem to be getting to the point where I need psychotherapy, so I'll talk about it later.

Esther restrained her divergent thoughts and nodded at Benjamin, "Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"

"When I get back to Port Prieze, tell me where you are staying, and I'll give you a *** badge when the time comes."

Esther was silent for two seconds, feeling that there was no need to trouble Benjamin any more, since the other party had been resolute, she didn't mind being just as frank: "So, the time and place of the meeting is at the mouth of the Tasok River, right?"

Benjamin stared at her in amazement for a few seconds, then nodded slowly, "Well, do you mean you're ......?"

Esther patted her satchel, but didn't take out the badge directly, but the meaning of her action was obvious: "I've learned a little about the 'Destiny Hermit Society, and even got a badge from someone else's *** member."

Benjamin pushed his glasses in a daze, subconsciously curling the corners of his mouth, but before the habitual "funny" blurt, he chuckled and nodded, "To be honest, this was a bit unexpected by me."

Benjamin pondered for a moment, but remained silent, the rabbit let out a slight dreamy cry in its deep sleep, and Esther gently turned her gaze to him.

"What are you bringing this child for?"

"I just ran into him by chance, he had nowhere to go, but he kept chasing...... A little ethereal."

Benjamin didn't seem to like the answer: "That's it?"

Esther looked at Benjamin strangely, "Why do you keep caring about that?" I don't need a special reason."

Benya was visibly more dissatisfied, and a wrinkle appeared on his brow, making his former elegant temperament cold and detached: "He has no reason to follow you, and you don't need him, is there any benefit in such a relationship?"

"Then it's strange for you to think it's me." Esther replied with a smile, "As it is now, it may be incredible that I can calmly talk to you among other extraordinary beings who have a gap."

Benjamin looked at Esther for a long time, and finally turned his gaze to the boy who disgusted him: "Isn't it because we made a deal to live in peace?"

"Hi

The magpie is a very auspicious bird in my hometown, so maybe that's why I have changed my opinion of you?" Esther said softly.

Benjamin didn't believe this, and looked at Esther's gentle and reminiscent eyes, but he lost the idea of further questioning—it was obviously a good time for him to catch the gap between her faltering, to inquire about the origin of this "Esther", and to find out what was special about Esther's "hometown".

But Benjamin just looked out the window at the changing scenery as it moved, and said nothing.

He knew in his heart where her "hometown" was.

——

The rabbit wakes up from its sleep in a trance.

His head slammed against the glass window as the steam train shook, and the boy touched the corner of his forehead, which had been hurt in the bump, and opened his eyes from a sweet dream that was not very clear.

He looked across in confusion, and when he saw the young man with green eyes smiling at him, the rabbit immediately turned his head to the side, avoiding the meeting of the young man's gaze.

But Esther was not there, the moment he realized this, the rabbit felt cold, and suddenly he lost his safety and subconsciously put his hand to his heart, and the hair that Esther gave him was still on his body.

The consternation in his heart must have been shown on his face, the rabbit thought so, for the next moment the rabbit heard Benjamin on the other side speak:

"Your cousin is gone, what are you going to do now?" Why don't you try to find an excuse to convince me to leave you alive?"

"Will you believe what I say?"

Benjamin's body leans forward, and the height of an average adult can be quite oppressive for a malnourished child: "You can consider saying something nice, can't you? That will make you less tormented."

The rabbit stalked its neck and stared at Benjamin tightly, his face full of grief and indignation: "You! You must have deceived her......

Benjamin helped the lens in front of his right eye, and it was difficult to restrain the smile on his lips:

"You're right, I can't tell your brain is finally working."
