Chapter 126 Melissa and Amon, bad taste
"Melissa, long time no see." Miss Amon smiled as she looked at Melissa who was sitting on a chair and flipping through a book.

“Miss Amon.” Melissa nodded, then closed the page in her hand and noticed the book she was holding.

[Archaeological inferences of the Fourth Age tombs - Antigonus family]

"Ms. Amon, are you researching?"

"Yes, I am researching the history of the Antigonus family during the Fourth Age. Melissa, are you interested too?"

Melissa tapped the spine of the book with her finger and thought about it thoughtfully.

What is the history of the Antigonus family? The answer is now given by the effect of the stigmata...

“I see.” Melissa put the book in her hand on the table.

"Sorry, Mr. Amon, I have something I need to take care of."

"Yeah." Miss Amon raised the corners of her mouth and said casually as she looked at her receding back.

"Do you need my help?"

"No, Mr. Amon."

"Hahahaha, hahahaha." Amon pounded the table and laughed wildly.

This is such a funny prank!

Leaving the city library of Tingen, Melissa reached out and pulled her sleeves tighter.

Then, she walked in the direction she wanted...

After a while, Melissa knocked on the door of a three-story apartment building.

"Teacher Medea."

"Melissa, come in."

"Ah."

After entering the house, Melissa found a sofa and sat down, then clasped her hands in her lap.

"What's the matter?"

"Teacher Medea, who is Klein?"

"Why do you ask?"

Melissa briefly described her situation in the house on Iron Cross Street where Klein originally lived.

Through some tricks, she saw a lot of blood hidden in the corners and the truth of the matter.

"Kline shot himself, but he survived."

"Do you think a Beyonder has taken over Klein's body?"

"Yes."

Melissa suppressed the anger that had always been in her heart. She looked at Medea and expressed her opinion.

"Klein is dead. He died at the hands of the Antigonus family notebook. However, he is still alive."

"You don't think he is Klein."

"In your eyes, who replaced Klein?" Medea tapped the back of her hand lightly and let out a breath.

A different plot development naturally brings about a story that is completely different from the original.

Crane shot himself and came back to life.

He handled it very well, cleaning up all the blood traces of the apparent suicide.

In the original novel, in this industrial age where there is no chemical spray or chemical reaction to verify blood traces at the scene; in Tingen City where there are no fortune tellers to divine and recall the "past" of houses, the night watchmen made a wrong judgment about the Antigonus family notebook incident in which Klein was involved...

This is the original story, but now due to the interference of Medea, Adam and others, the context of the story has undergone major changes.

Just like Klein's activation of the Source Castle, coupled with Melissa's guidance on the mysticism of the extraordinary world, he was able to kill Ince Zangwill in the gray fog simulated by the spell, achieving a cross-level kill.

The causal relationships of many characters have changed in Tingen City.

Melissa "knows" how to "divine the past", knows how to investigate past events, and can trace them back through extraordinary powers.

Naturally, the bloodstains left by Klein and those obvious flaws exposed his true identity to Melissa.

“Yes, Klein has been replaced.” Melissa unconsciously tightened her dress.

"Ghosts, spirits, Beyonders... they're all possible."

"I understand. What are you going to do? A showdown, or..."

“I want to know, Teacher Medea, why did you let me know that Klein was replaced.” Melissa was not stupid.

She was very angry when she first learned the truth, but after thinking that the original cause of all this was Medea's manipulation, she forced herself to calm down.

Why did Medea do this? What did the identity of the owner of the stigmata represent? What was the significance of the Messenger? She needed answers to all these.

"Perhaps Master Boshi knows the answer."

"I understand. I will be the winner." Melissa nodded.

After chatting for a while, Melissa stood up and left. At the end, she politely saluted Medea as a teacher.

"Amon, what are you doing again?" Medea turned his head and looked at Amon.

She looked innocent, as if she had no idea what was going on.

"Teacher, I don't know what happened."

"hehe."

"Don't I know how to trust others? Trust between people!"

"are you human?"

"No."

"Okay." Amon told him what happened before.

The content is not long. It just uses Melissa's understanding of the Antigonus family, and then makes her understand the power of the notebook. Klein cannot survive.

The process is very simple, but the impact it causes is unimaginably huge.

"Forget it, as long as there are no accidents in the experiment as a whole." Waving his hand, Medea returned to the Black Iron Throne and observed the overall situation in Tingen City.

…………

Back at Narcissus Cross Street, in front of his home, Klein felt a sense of danger for some reason.

It seemed like there was some monster waiting for him inside.

“Melissa!” Worried about Melissa’s danger, Klein held the gray fog spell, gritted his teeth, and pushed the door open.

The door opened and it was very quiet inside, with almost no sound.

“Klein Moretti.” Melissa lowered her head, sat on the sofa, motionless, and made very strange sounds.

Klein hurriedly trotted over to Melissa. Before he could open his mouth, Melissa said the words that he had always feared.

"You are not Klein Moretti."

“Melissa, what are you talking about? I’m Klein Moretti.” Forcing a smile, Klein tried to tell some stories from his childhood.

But Melissa's eyes were like... making Klein feel scared.

"I went to your old room and saw blood, scars, bullets..."

Needless to say, Klein, no, Zhou Mingrui knew that he had been exposed.

With a sigh, Zhou Mingrui sat back on the sofa, and the two of them remained silent.

After a while, Melissa's eyes were red and swollen, and she asked in a choked voice, "Klein, is he dead?"

"Yes, dead, because of Ince Zangwill."

"Ince Zangwill..."

Afterwards, Klein described the clues he obtained from divination of Ince Zangwill regarding the situation in Tingen City.

"...The story goes like this. Ince Zangwill used a certain seal, which led to Klein Moretti obtaining the Antigonus family notes, and then..."

he died.

“But I killed him. This is his Beyonder characteristic.” After saying this, Klein took the broken bones out of his pocket and placed them on the table.

“Who are you?” Melissa suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart and looked at Klein.

Her eyes were so complicated and tangled that Zhou Mingrui lowered his head.

"A...homeless ghost."

“Homeless…”

“Yeah.” Klein smiled. He stretched out his hands to support himself so as not to collapse emotionally.

Leaving my hometown, traveling through time, my parents, friends, and everything I had disappeared without any warning, and I had no idea when I would be able to go home... Countless thoughts ended up with only a sigh in my heart.

"I don't know where my home is..."

“You…” Melissa could feel the reality of this emotion.

He is Klein Moretti, but this is just his performance.

Zhou Mingrui, a homeless man, a poor guy who doesn’t know where his hometown is, an ordinary person.

“Sorry, I’m sorry for using his identity.” Klein forced himself to act normal and apologized to Melissa.

"I don't know why, but when I woke up, I was moving in the body of Klein Moretti."

"I'll believe you for now." Melissa reached out for a tissue and wiped the tears from Zhou Mingrui's eyes.

"Tell me your story, okay?"

"……it is good."
