Chapter 200 Klein: I can't change back? That's great... It's so sad (laughs)

Daley took the camera and film out to find someone to develop them, leaving only Klein and Dunn in room 312.

"Captain, why are you in Backlund?"

Shouldn't we be stationed in Tingen to deal with the mastermind after Leonard faked his death? Of course, Klein didn't say the second half of the sentence.

“Klein, after hearing what I am going to say next, you must remain calm…” Dunn said, regaining his serious expression.

...Calm down? Klein thought, are you going to confess that you have turned into a woman? I know that, isn't it just the side effect of the seal formed by the Beyonder characteristic of "Witch"? Uh, won't it turn back after a while?
"I'm sorry I can't tell you this until now...

"Leonard...sacrificed."

Ah? Ah!? Klein was dumbfounded. Wasn't Leonard living well in Tingen? He also had the time traveler Peiman by his side, and his life was comfortable... Could it be that something big happened in Tingen again in the past two days? He asked hurriedly:

"What happened? Who killed Leonard?"

Dunn's beautiful eyes dimmed as she sighed softly:

“That happened on September 9, just two days later.

"But you have been busy looking for Lanevus during this period, and this involves some highly confidential knowledge, so the church did not inform you immediately... I'm sorry.

"Now that you have become the 'God's Blessed One'... Well, think about it carefully, it is not a coincidence that you are the only survivor of the 'Antigonus Family Notes' incident. It must be the favor of the goddess! Praise the goddess!"

"Praise the goddess!" Klein pointed at the crimson moon on his chest and couldn't help wondering, September 9th? He returned to Tingen on September 4th as the Aurora Society's messenger "Red Hair". At that time, he saw Leonard enjoying himself... That was definitely Leonard himself! There was no possibility of fakery!
What on earth was going on? Klein looked at Dunn in confusion.

"I take a lot of responsibility for Leonard's death," Dunn rubbed his temple and continued:

"Member Maynard of Tingen died suddenly. Leonard went to assist the police in investigating the cause of death. However, because the murderer was a mid-sequence Beyonder with sophisticated methods, we concluded that it was a natural death.

"Afterwards, Leonard accepted Maynard's wife's commission and went to investigate the murderer's residence alone, but still found nothing unusual.

"But Madam Sharon is a Sequence 6 'Pleasure Witch'. By the way, similar to Triss before, she is the next Sequence after 'Witch'. Madam Sharon keenly discovered that someone had invaded her bedroom, so she decided to escape on the afternoon of September 9th... and happened to meet Leonard who was patrolling at the steam station."

Huh? Klein's heart skipped a beat. He and Old Blue had already figured out this story, but the content was a little different. Could it be that Mrs. Sharon had been captured and killed long ago, and then the captain used his Beyonder characteristics to disguise himself as a woman and staged a play to make Leonard fake his death in order to lure out the mastermind?
Is Leonard really dead? But he is still alive! Klein's mood was up and down. He was originally sad and angry, but when he thought of Leonard still flirting with him, his emotions could no longer be suppressed. He hesitated and asked:
"Captain, Captain, Leonard encountered the 'Witch of Pleasure'... Then what is going on with you?"

Dunn fell silent immediately. This process was really a bit embarrassing... But the Archbishop personally ordered that the "God's Blessed One" was qualified to know the knowledge that he swore to keep secret to the goddess that day, and asked him to tell him in detail...

"Leonard is great. With the help of a passing lady with good marksmanship, he desperately killed Mrs. Sharon and protected all the ordinary citizens nearby. His sacrifice was not in vain...

"Do you still remember the extraordinary material that appeared after Hood Eugen's death last time? In the field of mysticism, there is a law: the law of immortality of extraordinary characteristics..."

Extraordinary characteristics are indestructible and conserved... I know! Russell mentioned it in his diary, and Old Blue also described it... But what does this have to do with the captain becoming a woman?
Uh... the "witch" potion can turn a "male instigator" into a "witch", so can it also turn a "male nightmare" into a "witch"? Klein speculated reasonably.

“Daly and I discovered that law a long time ago. After reporting it to the Holy Temple, I was given two choices. One was to pretend I didn’t know, and the other was to take on my teammates’ extraordinary characteristics through a simple ritual. That would allow my sacrificed comrades to continue fighting and live in my dreams… I couldn’t bear to leave them, so I chose the latter.

"After Leonard's death, I decided to use the extraordinary properties found under the ritual suit to allow Leonard to fight alongside us...

"But... I made another mistake. There was only one Beyonder characteristic at the scene, and I took it for granted that it was Leonard's relic, and mistakenly ate the characteristics of the 'Witch of Pleasure'..." Hiss! Klein was still immersed in the emotion when he suddenly heard the "bad news"!
It's not a side effect of the seal! In other words... the captain has become a woman? She can never change back?

“That’s great… What a pity…” Klein smiled sadly. If Captain Dunn replaced Roxanne for a few days… wouldn’t the Blackthorn Security Company’s business volume take off?

Dunn paused and continued:

"This involves another law: the law of conservation of extraordinary properties within similar sequences...

"'Sleeping Man' can be exchanged with 'Corpse Collector' and 'Warrior' at the high sequence level...

"But my experience has proven that they may also be interchangeable with 'Assassin' and 'Hunter'...

"In other words, I took an incomplete potion of Sequence 6 and successfully became a 'Pleasure Witch', which is what I am now."

Klein didn't know what expression to use to face this always serious and earnest captain, and subconsciously said:
"congratulations……

"Uh... Captain, are you sure Leonard is really dead? Maybe he is still alive?"

Dunn's delicate face was covered with a wry smile, looking weak and pitiful:

"I can't believe that Leonard, who was so lively and cheerful and had such a strong poetic temperament, died like this. But the follow-up work was done by the 'corpse collector' Frye. He is an expert in this field and would not make a wrong judgment."

It’s not a fake death... Klein gathered all his chaotic thoughts and thought with a frown. The "faked death plan" was deduced by Old Blue and himself based on the fact that Leonard was still alive.

But according to Captain Dunn, she didn't even know that Leonard was alive! So her subsequent "fake death" was naturally not true!

It's not fake death! It's... resurrection from the dead!
boom!
A flash of lightning seemed to ring in Klein's mind. Yes! Resurrection from the dead! Resurrection from the dead just like himself!
Leonard was not faking his death at all, but was killed on the spot by the "Witch of Pleasure"!
Then, the time traveler Pei Man happened to be there, and was tempted by the beauty, so he used his golden finger to crush the witch to death! Well done! My friend!
The captain said that Leonard's extraordinary characteristics were not found at the scene... Peiman must have used the golden finger to put it back into Leonard's body! Alas, so the captain became a cross-dresser... What a "misfortune" (laughs).

However, the resurrection was not immediate, so Leonard was still dead;
Leonard was then taken in by Frye, who arrived, and his funeral was held the next morning, September 9;

"Red Hair" and "Black Snake" met Leonard in the afternoon, which means that in just half a day, Peiman dug up Leonard's grave and took him home!
Hiss! Klein couldn't help but marvel at how capable this young generation of time travelers was! He was also very courageous! With Leonard's personality... I guess he won't be able to escape for the rest of his life...

——Klein assumed that Peiman traveled through time later than him... Given her personality, if she had come earlier, Tingen would have been in turmoil!

Hmm? So, the Captain and Ms. Daly, Leonard and Ms. Peiman...are all now a couple?
What about yourself?

Klein was a little dazed. The previous 3000 pounds, plus the bounty from this incident...it was enough to support the family!
No... I have to go back to Earth...

Uh...wouldn't it be nice to bring the person back to Earth when the time comes? I can use the excuse that I went abroad these years and just happened to get a foreign wife! I believe I can definitely get the forgiveness of the two elders!

Suddenly, Klein felt dizzy. He heard an illusory and overlapping voice of prayer. He could vaguely tell it was a woman! Fors? Hugh? Or someone else who knew the Fool's name? He immediately tapped his chest four times:

"Leonard must have entered the goddess's kingdom and found eternal peace and sleep. Praise the goddess!
"Captain, I'm going to the bathroom."
