Chapter 267: 3 People, 6 Names

Chapter 267 Three People, Six Names
"Sir, I'm Sherlock, you can present your client now." Leonard hurried to the bathroom and put on a camouflage mask, then walked out leisurely and said after shaking hands with the client.

"..." Klein smiled. He seemed to understand why he could recognize Leonard as Leonard. This was because he was using "Creeping Hunger" to drive the ability of the "Faceless Man"! And the "Faceless Man" was best at recording the appearance and characteristics of others! Therefore, even though Leonard's disguise was excellent enough, he still recognized that this was "Poet Classmate" in an instant!
"You can call me Dwayne, Dwayne Dantès. Um, I'm from the Sea of ​​Space..." After briefly introducing his fabricated identity, Klein said solemnly:
"Detectives, do you know 'Extraordinary'?"

"Ah?" Peiman was still thinking about the familiar surname "Dantes", but she didn't expect the other party to ask this question!

"Mr. Dantes," Leonard said with a serious expression:

"As far as I know, many of the 'extraordinary' in the rumors are a new scam, and the spreaders mostly have ulterior motives, just to deceive curious gentlemen like you, so please don't be fooled and don't take it seriously.

"If there are a lot of rumors like this around you, I strongly recommend that you call the police. Of course, I can do it for you."

Well... Mr. Poet does have some professional skills! His ideas are also normal... Klein is relieved. Physical and mental health, isn't that good? But he still had a difficult expression on his face and said:
"But... I did experience something incredible when I was in the southern continent a few years ago! That time, a business partner and I entered a temple that believed in the God of Death... Guess what we saw? Ghosts! There really were ghosts!
"This world is 'extraordinary'! Uh... Of course I also believe in the goddess devoutly. Praise the goddess!"

"Praise the goddess!" Leonard unconsciously pointed out the full moon, and then realized that they were playing the role of detective "Storm"! He coughed lightly and said:
"People can experience hallucinations under certain extreme circumstances...

"Well, can you describe the 'extraordinary' you are experiencing now? I believe that you are not here for consultation because of something that happened a long time ago, right?"

"As expected of you, Mr. Detective!" Klein pretended to be amazed and said:

"I have always been curious about Feifan, and have been looking for related things since I came to Backlund... But... as you said, I also understand that many people are lying to me...

"But recently! I bought a real 'Extraordinary Potion' from a certain channel! Its effect... uh..." Klein glanced at Pei Man with obvious movements, then stopped the topic and said:

"In short, the effect is amazing! So I confirmed the existence of the extraordinary! And the person who sold me the 'potion' invited me to that... what is it called 'Extraordinary Party'? He said there is a chance to become an 'Extraordinary' there..."

Leonard and Peiman looked at each other, and both confirmed that this middle-aged gentleman might have really encountered a "pharmacist". The former said:

"So you're going to let us protect you at the 'Extraordinary Gathering'?"

Klein made a prompt decision:

"No! I'm willing to pay for you two to attend the party. Well, just come back and tell me if it's dangerous and whether you can really become a 'Extraordinary'! Then I'll go again!" Klein's intention was obvious. He wanted to introduce some local connections to these two "strangers"!

Peiman hesitated and said, "Mr. Dantes, the risk we take is..."

"I'll give you 200 pounds!"

"Okay! It's a deal!" Peiman immediately took out the standard contract and fountain pen, quickly drafted the terms, pushed them in front of the customer, and said, "Please sign your name here!"

"Very good, I like two such decisive detectives!"

Klein held his expression tight, signed Dawn's name, and added:

"If you can bring back good news, I will definitely promote the great detectives Sherlock and Watson in my circle! Believe me, it will bring you a lot of benefits!"

Then, Dawn left after telling how to join the party, the time, and the place.

Leonard frowned slightly. The old man hadn't spoken since just now. Did this mean that he was not in danger? He walked to Peiman who was counting money and said softly:
"That 'extraordinary party' message sounds real, and it may be a real extraordinary party. "Do we really want to let our customers participate in the dangerous extraordinary world?"

Peiman gave Leonard half of the advance payment and said:
"Well... I don't really care, but if you don't want us to, we can just say it was a scam party! The potions they sold were just added with 'stimulant' and 'aphrodisiac' substances!

"Of course, we have to collect the money because we did take the risk!"

Leonard smiled and said, "Mr. Dantes would never think that the party is not a liar, but we are."

Peiman was stunned for a moment and said:

"Speaking of 'Dantes', doesn't it sound familiar to you? Have you heard of this name before?"

Leonard was surprised:

"Of course, the protagonist's last name in the classic work "The Return of the Count" created by Emperor Roselle is 'Dantes'. Well, it was adapted into a play and is still being performed in Backlund. Do you want to go and see it? Tomorrow is Sunday, and we can take a day off... Although we still have several commissions..."

"Count? The Count of Monte Cristo? Damn!" Peiman stood up suddenly, regardless of her reserve and elegance, and quickly chased to the entrance. She suddenly opened the door and looked out, but she only saw the streets as night fell. Gas lamps began to light up but could not dispel the diffuse fog... The middle-aged man had disappeared long ago.

"What's wrong? What happened? Is there something wrong with that name?" Leonard hurried over and asked.

"Not sure..." Peiman closed the door and frowned.
"Same name? Or is there already someone with the last name 'Dantes' in this world? Or is that person a die-hard fan of Roselle and changed his last name to this?"

"Hmm... both are possible, right? Is there any difference?" Leonard replied with a sigh of relief when he saw that Peiman had no other abnormalities.

"I can't say which one is the most different..." Peiman hugged Leonard and said softly:

"This world is too dangerous! I don't understand the intention of that person just now...

"Tomorrow, we'll know when we go to that 'Extraordinary Gathering'. Remember to be fully prepared... If things don't go well for us, we'll run away immediately... The worst-case scenario is that we'll have to return to the 'Aurora Club'... or die.

"Are you afraid of it?"

Leonard patted the lady's back and called out to the old man frantically in his heart. When he got no response, he said helplessly:

"If it's too dangerous, let's give up the commission... Let's go to the church and report that guy! Storm's people won't care whether the other party is right or not, they will definitely investigate him!"

……

A sneeze!

Klein sneezed violently in the rented carriage.
