chapter.39 chance encounter(1/2)
Klein Moretti.
From a collaborator's perspective, his performance was impeccable, even perfect.
He was kind and harmless. Although he had doubts and temptations about her, he quickly made a judgment and dispelled those unnecessary suspicions.
Facts have proved that her original intuitive judgment was not wrong, and this person is worthy of her trust.
The premise of trust is honesty, and she did not lie to him in general.
But just like Klein hid some facts from her that he didn't want to tell, in comparison, she only hid a lot more.
The difference is that she knows the nature of his so-called job, and she also knows that the "Blackthorn Security Company" that hired him is just a front.
He is a Nighthawk. Like the team she encountered when she first came to this world, he is loyal to the Church of the Goddess of the Night.
And she actually knew this from the very beginning.
After all, the aura of the extraordinary part about him is almost exactly the same as that of a female Nighthawk in the previous team.
That is probably the special aura that belongs to the "divineer" potion users.
Of course, it's not hard to imagine why Klein didn't tell her these things. Considering his extremely cautious character, he just wanted to avoid conflicts and trouble.
Similarly, Alice's concealment from him was for similar reasons.
Talking about some things can easily cause misunderstandings and cause unnecessary trouble, so it would be easier to just not mention them.
But it's all based on a fragile balance.
She can trust him, but she can't be defenseless against him.
This is not the first time that similar gaffes have occurred, but this morning's accident clearly crossed the line seriously.
Is the problem to be blamed on her being groggy and tired when she woke up after falling asleep? Or is it because Klein's harmlessness made her forget the most basic precautions?
No matter what the reason is, it should not be an excuse for her to let down her guard.
She should consider leaving, but not right away.
The new identity was already prepared. The "dead" Claire Sibley did not commit suicide in that revengeful murder. Instead, she found a woman who was very similar to herself as a substitute to draw a picture of her revenge.
Reaching the end line of no solution.
After all, she is a witch who hides her identity in ordinary society. How could she be willing to risk her life for a heartless man?
——But, it’s not time to activate this identity yet.
Since her identity as Claire has left traces of her activities on the Witch's side, once Alice officially decides to take on the role, it also means that she will have to use this identity to face the follow-up plans related to the Witch's sect, which obviously will inevitably cause a lot of stress.
This is not a good choice for her now.
Recently, she has relied too much on chaos-prone spells.
Although I have to admit that these spells and even abilities inherited from demons are extremely useful and convenient here, there is a limit to everything.
She is not one of those mixed-blood sorcerers with inherited power, nor is she one of those witches who associate with demons or devils - the witches in her world refer to such aliens who throw themselves into the abyss, and they cannot be viewed with the usual view of good and evil.
.
She is a human being, at least Alice believes so firmly, and cannot indulge herself in relying on that part of power, nor is she willing to be bound by it.
But whether she wants it or not, the constraints and restrictions on her will not disappear, even if she leaves the original world and comes to another completely different plane.
It's like a shadow, it's always with her.
Just like normal people need to eat and drink to survive, she has some similar special habits, habits that humans should not have.
This was one of the facts she hid from Klein, and it was also the key reason why she initially chose him as her collaborator.
But he is not the only irreplaceable option.
At least, as long as Alice is willing, similar substitutes will appear, and the number may even be more than one or two.
Look, she is actually quite kind, right? She made plans to leave before the other party fell, so that he would not regard her as an irreplaceable person.
Presumably, as long as he goes through an adaptation period that is neither long nor short, he will gradually forget about this emotion that once made him throb and move on with his life.
——If Klein could hear what she said, he would probably hold on to his face and express his objections calmly.
But some facts will not change.
Perhaps he was influenced by her charm ability at first and developed a slight favorable impression. Coupled with his desire to explore unknown things and her watering out of bad taste, these slight favorable impressions soon took root and sprouted.
out.
I'm afraid he is aware of this and has concerns, so he tries hard to convince himself, but is still unwilling to face his heart.
But that's it.
Once she is in a stable condition and finds a new place to live, she will leave his life and will not cause him any more trouble.
As for now, let’s focus on the interpretation of Hermes.
Alice had a hunch that the direction of that honorable name was probably closely related to the reason why she was called here.
…
"Goddess, in less than a month, Klein, you have become an official member..." The brown-haired girl Roshan couldn't stop sighing from the moment she saw Klein, which made the Blackthorn Security Company
The front desk area was full of misery, "Now I have to go to the weapons depot for duty every two days. If this continues, my skin will get worse and worse... Seriously, Klein, when will you find someone to get married to?
Just leaking a little bit of secrets to her, and think of it as helping us develop new civilian personnel?"
"Miss Roxanne, I still think you have the ability to find a suitable marriage partner and then develop that person into a civil servant. This should be easier than asking me to do the same thing."
While Klein was joking with her, he said in his heart that he did know someone who knew the secrets of the Extraordinary, but that person was a "witch" wanted by the church. The person who developed her as a civilian employee of the Night Watch was probably not planning to cause trouble.
An irreparable consequence...
After shaking his head and dealing with Roxanne's offbeat celebration, Klein came to his desk and sat down to sort out the information. Then he went to Old Neil's place to continue the occult course and read historical documents...
After completing his morning schedule, which was not much different from the previous days, he went to the break room and had lunch with colleagues with whom he had become familiar.
"Klein, do you still remember the question you asked me some time ago?" Leonard pushed the almost untouched lunch box aside, his face seemed to have a more melancholy look than yesterday.
Hearing this, Klein slowly swallowed the food in his mouth, took another sip of vegetable soup to soothe his throat, and then replied:
"I remember that I asked you a lot of questions. I can't guarantee the impression of which ones they are."
"No, what you must remember is that..." Leonard seemed a little embarrassed to say it, but he still tried to lower his voice and coughed slightly, "If you like someone who is already in a relationship with someone else..."
Klein chewed the oatmeal bread and almost choked on the food.
"……you?"
Is it possible that Leonard finally discovered his and Alice's cohabitation relationship and now came to him to prosecute him?
No, they are not in love, so there is nothing to blame...
The night watcher, who had the romantic temperament of a poet, frowned slightly and sighed helplessly.
"I know it seems unethical to admit this, but I'm really unwilling to do so. Maybe it's just a step too late, and I have to watch the person I like walk to someone else... not to mention that the other person is not a good person who is trustworthy at all!"
...From this tone, it seemed that he was not talking about him. Klein quietly breathed a sigh of relief and asked:
"Wait a minute, Leonard, I can't keep up with your train of thought. The person you are referring to is the one you mentioned before... I'm sorry, I don't know her name, but anyway, you meet her again.
Later, you found out that she had become someone else’s lover?”
"...It's just possible." Leonard didn't want to admit this sour speculation. He turned around and raised his spoon to poke at his lunch stew again and again. "I forgot to mention it to you. I'm here."
I met her in a cafe and spent several long and short afternoons with her..."
I'm afraid you didn't forget to mention it, but you didn't say it on purpose.
How could Klein forget his shock when he saw this poet classmate in the cafe, but life is like a play, and it all depends on acting. He can completely understand Leonard's mood, and will not expose him mercilessly on the spot.
So Leonard continued his story, saying that he accidentally went to the cafe again on Saturday afternoon, but learned from the chats of several maids and waitresses that on Friday evening, the man who fascinated him
The beautiful girl actually got into the carriage of her employer, Ms. Danitaly!
Moreover, the two of them seemed to be heading out of the city together. It is said that the Deville family's out-of-city villa is in that direction. What made the maids even more imaginative was that Ms. Danitaly was there all day on Saturday.
Never showed up at the cafe!
Does this mean that another girl has fallen in love and been held in the hands of the fickle and passionate Danitaly? They may be in the passionate honeymoon period now, and they are so close that they don't want to be separated. But how long can the passion last?
Will it take more than a month?
The maids and waitresses whispered about their employer's new relationship, completely unaware that there was a midnight poet who was good at sensing standing outside the cafe. He could hear these gossips so clearly that his hands and feet became cold.
"Now I just hope that Sunday and Monday will pass quickly, so that I can see her again and get the truth from her mouth... No matter how hurtful it is." Leonard sighed in frustration, but couldn't help it.
Recalling the girl's gentle and innocent smile.
——She seemed to have said that I might meet her on the street by chance on Sunday...
Goddess bless, if this is the case, he will definitely go to church and pray more times!
After briefly recalling it, Klein recalled the "bloody text message" Alice sent him on Friday afternoon, as well as her abnormal behavior of returning home late that night. He suddenly understood that this must be what she said she had something to do. As for the
What is the content...
Considering that the next day was the day of the witch's dinner party, he was eighty-nine percent sure that she was definitely not going to fall in love with her female employer!
To be continued...
