On January 3, 1350, the train carrying countless hopeful people to Backlund finally stopped at the station. Benson protected Melissa and her wallet with great experience, carried the suitcase, and walked out along with the crowd.
station, but right at the entrance of the station, his vision suddenly froze slightly, because he saw several people not far away holding a sign with the words Benson brother and sister written on it.
Signs like this are not uncommon at stations, but most of them are measures to welcome relatives and friends, but Benson really couldn't imagine who would greet his brother and sister in Backlund.
After thinking for a while, Benson and Melissa looked at each other and had no intention of approaching them, but planned to avoid them.
only……
"Sir, Madam, are you Benson Moretti and Melissa Moretti?" A soft voice came from the side, and the man holding the sign seemed to see them at a glance.
When the other party came from the crowd, Benson and Melissa noticed the handsome face. He was wearing a formal suit that didn't look like Loen's style, with a black cat lying on his shoulders.
Although Melissa is not the kind of girl who can't move when she sees a handsome guy, but just like a straight man doesn't mind seeing a beautiful woman, she is also in awe of this gentleman's handsome appearance.
"Sir, I don't seem to recognize you?"
Benson looked at the man in front of him warily and carefully protected Melissa by his side. However, the man in front of him folded the sign and said with a gentle smile:
"A friend wants to see you two, but he is not suitable to be here at the moment, so he entrusted me to pick you up. Please don't worry, our destination is next to the Church of the Goddess of the Night. If you have any concerns, we will
I can take public transportation, so if I have any problems, you can call for help immediately."
"This..." Benson looked at the man in front of him carefully. Although he was poor, as a company employee, he had seen all kinds of customers and his eyesight was not bad.
Regardless of the man's handsome face, he is also extremely well-dressed. Both the lapels and cuff pins are extremely exquisite, and the materials used in his clothes are also very sophisticated. They are definitely not cheap formal clothes that can be purchased for a few pounds.
More importantly, the other party's movements were very appropriate, and the clothes were very close-fitting, which meant that this was definitely not a rented clothing, and the other party did not cherish it particularly - he even allowed the cat to lie on his shoulders!
This is a gentleman with money and a certain social status.
Benson made a judgment in his mind and understood that there was probably no possibility for him and Melissa to refuse. He only informed a few friends about their coming to Backlund before departure, and they definitely did not know each other.
This type of character.
Since the other party is waiting here in person, whether it is an entrustment from a friend as he said, or simply an order from a bigger figure, neither brother nor sister has the right to refuse, or in other words, even if they really refuse,
The other party must also have a way to find it.
Taking a deep breath, Benson forced himself to calm down and said:
"All right."
"Then, please come with me." The man nodded with a warm smile and took Benson and Melissa on the subway. The eight-pence-per-seat first-class ticket made Melissa's heart twitch.
——Even if it is the other party who pays.
The subway car slowly began to vibrate, and she ran backwards as the window shattered. Although Melissa was a little embarrassed, she couldn't help but look at the environment inside the subway, while Benson looked at the man in front of her and said:
"Can you tell me who wants to see us?"
"This is a surprise." The man reached out and touched the head of the black cat on his shoulder, handed it a small dried fish, and then said with a solemn expression:
"Believe me, it will definitely be a surprise."
…
The subway stopped at the North District station. Benson and Melissa followed Snow out of the platform. The air here was obviously much better than a few days ago. Occasionally, pedestrians passed by on both sides of the road, discussing about Elmer a few days ago.
The performance at the Grand Theater.
Although this is not the most prosperous area in Backlund, Benson and Melissa still inevitably have the mentality of country people coming to the city. Even the anxiety of being taken to a strange place by strangers has slightly dissipated.
.
Of course, there is also a relationship between the target and the Church of the Night.
After all, as a believer of the Goddess of the Night, finding out the location of the church is something that must be done.
The three of them walked all the way and soon arrived at their destination. It was a single-family house. The house didn't look too big, but it was very exquisite. Just looking at the doors, windows, doorbells and other accessories would make you feel...
It gives people the feeling that it is impossible to afford rent.
Snow gently rang the doorbell, and the sweet ringing sound immediately entered the room. You and Melissa from class heard a series of urgent footsteps. As the door opened, their eyes suddenly condensed.
"K...Klein?!" Melissa's eyes widened and she looked at the young man holding a broom in front of her. She couldn't help but exclaimed, but Benson reached out and hugged the young man who was about to step forward.
Melissa looked at the man who seemed to be cleaning with wary eyes.
"Who are you? My brother Klein is dead."
Hearing Benson's words, Klein was slightly startled, and then showed a somewhat ugly smile. Fortunately, he had already made preparations for this, and he moved out of the way and said softly:
"Come in and tell me, this is a long story."
"You brothers and sisters, let's talk. I have something to do over there, so I'll leave first." Snow waved to Klein and turned to leave. Although Benson was wary, he did feel familiar from this "Klain"
The aura, some small movements in daily life, and the look in his eyes made him finally decide to follow the other person into the house.
…
The process of getting to know Benson and Melissa was surprisingly smooth. Not to mention the memories that only his family knew and some of Klein's own little habits, the most important thing is that Benson and Melissa have not actually met.
Pass the corpse of "Klein".
To be precise, what they saw was a body similar to Klein's, but burned beyond recognition. Only the almost burned pocket watch could prove his identity.
After confirming that Klein was Klein, the three siblings chatted for an entire afternoon. It wasn't until they heard Mr. Devil's prayer for dinner that Klein picked up the teacup, moistened his smoky throat, and said with a smile:
"I wonder if it's time for us to have dinner?"
"Although it's still a little early." Melissa looked at the clock on the wall, and then suddenly realized something, her eyes widened:
"Oh, my God! Klein! Don't tell me that you rented this house?"
