Chapter 199 "Midnight Poet" Klein
On the morning of Saturday, September 9, on the balcony of Room 7 of the William Hotel, Klein spoke to the open space in the small garden:
"Ah, the threat of fear, the crimson hope!

"At least one thing is true: this life flies by."

Hiss! Klein trembled all over as he listened to the poem he recited. He didn't expect that his recitation was even worse than Leonard's! This... shouldn't be the case! Could it be that he didn't have a talent for poetry? A "God-favored One" who couldn't recite poetry? He laughed at himself in his heart and began to practice reciting poetry again.

Yesterday he privately asked Saint Anthony what the "God-favored" should do, and the answer he got was:

"The 'God's Favored One' will receive more resources and more attention, but... it is not a 'position'.

“Do what you did before, do whatever you want to do, keep growing, and just live.

"When gods bestow gifts, there must be considerations from them."

Klein thought it was outrageous. This was completely different from the "God's Blessed One" he imagined... At least he had to be the kind of person who, uh, went to preach to believers every day, went to poor areas to preach, and wiped out cultists... At least he had to be someone who did this every day, right?
What's more, he is the leader of the secret organization "Tarot Club"! What is this?
Report! Our leader has defected and obtained the official status of a favored one!
We are willing to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?

Well, come to think of it, the newspaper that Old Blue advertised in Storm also had the specifications of "God's Blessing"... It also said that Old Blue could summon the lightning of the Lord of Storm to tear the enemy apart with his teeth! But Old Blue never seemed to mention it, he acted as if it didn't happen! Just do what you have to do... It seems that I am still not very knowledgeable!
"One thing is true, the rest are lies..."

This poem was transmitted with a relaxing and calming power. Klein immediately felt much more at ease and could not help but continue to fantasize:
Speaking of the Tarot Club, Old Blue is also the "priestess" of the Tarot Club... Hey, it's a gathering of traitors. Except for Miss Justice, the rest are all senior traitors...

Now there are two more "God-favored" people from the church... Will the future Tarot Club become a "gathering of God-favored traitors"? Wouldn't I become the enemy of the gods?

dong dong!

There was a sudden knock on the door. Klein quickly shut up and returned to his room. He walked towards the door. He suspected that his poetry recitation had disturbed the night watchman who lived nearby...

But as soon as he grasped the door handle, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind:
There were two ladies outside the door. One was the extremely beautiful lady dressed as a man whom I had seen in the restaurant two days ago. This time, she was still wearing a trench coat and shirt, and even a half-high silk hat... So cool... So cool and beautiful...

The other lady was wearing a black robe with a hood, with green eyes and delicate features... Uh, why does she look a bit like Ms. Daly? Yes! Isn't this Ms. Daly who no longer wears old-fashioned makeup?

Klein opened the door directly. Just as he was about to say hello to Daly, his eyes were drawn to another lady. The image in his mind was still far from what he would see face to face! In reality, she was even more...

No! Calm down! He turned his head and said to Daly:

"Ms. Daly, long time no see! I wonder who this is..."

"Damn it! She was the first person you looked at just now, right? Klein, you bastard!" Daly took a step to the right, stood in front of the mysterious girl, and said angrily.

"No! I'm just curious about your friend's identity!
“You are also a very charming lady, but I have always regarded you as a respectable senior in my heart!

"By the way, Captain, Captain Dunn will definitely be attracted to you the way you look now!" Klein explained hurriedly, and brought up the captain to change the subject.

"Oh? Really..." Daly was no longer angry. She was just joking. She subconsciously turned her head to look at the mysterious girl, then looked at the young fortune teller, and said with a smile:

"If only it were really as you said..."

"Daly, stop messing around..." The mysterious girl frowned slightly, looking helpless, but this expression on her flawless face exuded a unique charm... Her gray eyes were deep, and she said seriously:
"Won't you invite us in, Mr. Moretti?"

"Ah? Please come in..."

Mr. Moretti? Hiss, could it be that Ms. Daly is introducing someone to me? This is too... high-quality, isn't it? Klein's thoughts were flying, and he was about to make way for the other party to enter the room. But at this moment, he suddenly remembered that he had started practicing reciting poems in the morning, and the bed was messy and not made yet! No! I must not let Ms. Daly and this beautiful girl see my sloppy side!
“Ladies, may I have the honor of having breakfast with you? Well, the desserts in the restaurant on this floor are delicious. I highly recommend them…” Klein smiled as he tried to find another place for the “date.”

Daly curled her lips, and immediately took a step forward and pushed Klein into the house, saying as she walked:
"It's not that troublesome. You, a young man, are you hiding a woman in the house? Uh, come on, isn't it just that the bed is a little messy? You haven't even taken out the adult toys in the bedside table. What's there to be ashamed of?"

Klein was shocked. As expected of Ms. Daly, one or two words would be fine, but after talking too much, the car speeded up! He quietly glanced at the mysterious girl's expression, and was relieved when he didn't see any disgust on her face. He hurried to the table with the thermos and cups, picked up two small tin cans and said:

"Ladies, would you like coffee or tea?"

"No need, Klein, come here, I have something to tell you." The mysterious girl actually sat on the edge of the bed, her right ankle habitually resting on her left knee, her hands crossed to support her chin, and she spoke with a serious expression.

Hiss! This... Klein could resist the charm of the mysterious girl before, but now she strikes this cool pose... She can attract both men and women!

[“I… have a bad feeling.”]

Klein ignored the other thoughts in his mind and immediately pulled a chair to sit opposite the girl. Only then did he realize that Daly was also sitting next to the mysterious girl, imitating the same posture... Uh... Why did he automatically ignore this lady just now...

And Ms. Daly has actually told this girl my name! Oh, I don’t even know her name yet… Klein’s throat was a little dry, and he asked:
"Ms. Daly, is this your companion in Backlund? I wonder what exactly you two are here for this time?"

"Klein, how did you come up with a method of acting with your observation skills... Well, it's normal. Not everyone is as familiar with him as I am..." Daly put down her right leg that was raised like Dunn, and said helplessly:

"Who is this……"

"Let me do it myself." The mysterious girl had a serious expression, her eyes were deep and dark, and her silk hat could not cover her black hair.
“Greetings to you, the one favored by God… Mr. Klein Moretti.

"Let's get acquainted again, Nighthawk, Dunn Smith."

[“Fuck!”]

Klein looked at Daly blankly and found that she looked playful... He subconsciously asked:
"Captain? What happened to the captain?"

Huh? Shit! Klein realized that the mysterious girl was introducing herself! And this sentence! Was it what Dunn said when he first met him! The mysterious girl was the captain?
Hiss! Klein felt his heart skip a beat. He swallowed his nonexistent saliva. The mysterious girl's gestures and tone were so familiar! He thought it was fate in his previous life!

Bang! Klein slapped himself hard in the face. He was not ashamed of having mistaken the wrong person, but... he was actually attracted to the gender-changed captain! He was attracted! Shit!

Klein quickly closed his eyes and tried to clear his mind of the previous fantasy... At this moment, he missed Fors terribly, missed that normal woman...

Suddenly, he staggered to his feet, walked to a cabinet not far away, and fiddled with something.

"What's wrong with Klein? He seems a little mentally unstable..." Dunn said in a low voice with some hesitation.

"...No one would be normal seeing you like this, okay? Give him some time to calm down. Uh, did Klein go to get the medicine? I have some Amanda hydrosol here, would you like to use some?" Daly also leaned over to Dunn and whispered.

After Klein confirmed that the film was ready, he immediately picked up the camera, which was two-thirds the size of his head, pointed the lens at the two ladies who were about to get together, and said:
"Cheese? Kiss?"

Click. The not-too-bright flash came on, illuminating the bright and perfect faces of the two ladies.
