Chapter 284 The world has changed
"It's just a joke, don't take it seriously..."

Old Bruce waved his hand and continued:

“I roughly understand your intention, the content in the newspaper is very detailed.

“I said that Backlund would not be peaceful, and an old man like me would be more at peace in small Tingen.

"Well, you two...want to become 'crime-solving goddesses'?"

"No! Absolutely not!" Fors refused without hesitation. She knew very well that Old Blue's ability to solve cases would definitely improve under his guidance, but... her main job was a writer! How long had it been since she last wrote? And she had to solve a case? !

“No, I don’t want to!” Seeing Fors was so decisive, Xio followed suit.

Old Bruce held his forehead with his hands. These two guys were too difficult to deal with! If someone else came, he would just fool around with them and go off to investigate the case! Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind:

"By the way, where is Klein? He can easily find the murderer with a few divinations. Go find him! Yeah, he will help!"

Fors nodded to Nancy who had made the coffee, and then said:
"It won't work. It can't be predicted! Only you can do this job!"

Old Blue took out a five-pound note and handed it to Nancy, saying:
"By the way, go to the Big Mouth Restaurant on this street and order a table of food. As for the wine... I remember Fors could drink Lelangqi? Forget it. There's no point in you drinking it when Klein is not here. Let's not drink.

"Go ahead. By then I should have finished talking to these two ladies..."

Nancy realized that there were some things she shouldn't listen to, so she immediately took the money and left.

“Old Blue! Please stop making fun of the relationship between me and Klein!” Fors said seriously.

"Although Xio, he and I are now sharing a house, it doesn't mean anything..."

Xio tilted his head back and squinted at his friend. Really? They flirted with each other every day...

"Ah? Klein wrote to me before and said that he was embarrassed to live with you... It seems that he has overcome many psychological barriers. Your relationship has taken a step forward. That's good." Old Blue was puzzled at first, and then he suddenly realized.

Excuse me? Why do I feel that Klein is quite thick-skinned? Xio complained silently.

"Yes, we took the initiative to live with him! Hmm!" Fors said immediately after making up his mind:

"This is all because of Backlund's serial killer! And the unscrupulous Aurora Society! How dangerous it is for Klein to live alone. No one else knows he's missing! We're helping each other!
"Old Blue, you don't want to see us in a state of anxiety and danger every day, right? We need your help! We need you to easily eliminate the crisis in Backlund!"

Old Bruce said helplessly:

"Backlund's crisis? This is just the beginning... The real crisis is still to come. The two of you are still at Sequence 8. It's really dangerous!
"How's the progress of your potion digestion?" The two of them had already been reminded of the existence of role-playing, so what Old Blue said was not a leak.

"Well, there's still a long way to go. The magician is not easy to play... Do you want me to go to the circus? But Klein didn't go to the circus when he played the clown..." Fors was shocked and answered honestly.

Hugh asked anxiously:

"Mr. Blue, what will happen in Backlund? My family... I was planning to rent a house and bring my family to Backlund..."

Old Blue took a sip of red tea and said casually, "It's just 'the advent of the evil god', 'the great smog', and 'the famine'... Anyway, it won't affect Tingen. Well, it's great. I don't have to sleep on the 'bombs' all the time...

"I finally got out of that pit of Backlund, and I will definitely not go back! I retired a long time ago! I will live out my retirement in Tingen!

"As for digestion... you can ask Klein. He has unique insights into playing the role of 'clown' and may be able to help you play the role of 'magic master'. As for Xio's 'sheriff'... let Roy assign you a district and try to maintain law and order?"

Seeing that Old Blue refused to leave, Fors used his trump card:

"Deacon Roy said that he can support you in hosting an 'extraordinary party'..."

"Okay!" Old Bruce's eyes lit up. Ordinary companies can open as many as they want, with no restrictions, but "extraordinary gatherings" are not allowed. The convening of a gathering must be approved by Storm's top management, and the flow of extraordinary items in and out must be strictly restricted.

Originally, Tingen's "extraordinary concentration" was simply not enough to support an "extraordinary gathering"...so Roy had been holding up Tingen's application...

"It's a deal! Let's go now!" Old Blue was about to open the Starlight Gate to teleport, but suddenly remembered something. He canceled the teleportation and sat on the sofa and said:
"Why don't we have a meal first? Nancy should be back soon.

"Remember this, you two. As people of the storm, you must be prepared to be pigeons! Come back later!"

Fors and Xio were stunned for a moment. What does "pigeon" mean?
……

evening.

After Klein returned to his "home", he did not see his two "roommates", but found a note on the table. He glanced at it:
"Xiu and I are on a business trip, so we won't be back for dinner."

He was stunned for a moment. Was he stood up? We were supposed to have dinner together! And he was on a business trip at this time? Was he going to deal with the Aurora Society? Weren't they still undergoing the training to become the Substitute Punishers?

The more Klein thought about it, the more worried he became. Although the Punisher team was capable, they were not well thought out! How could they let such a novice do such a dangerous thing?
Write a letter! Write to Old Bruce immediately and ask him to help inquire about the situation!

Klein took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter with fierce words, but he felt it was not so good after rereading it. Just as he was about to rewrite it, he was shocked to find a Starlight Gate next to him!
Teleport?! Can someone locate my home...Old Blue?
Swish! Old Blue led Fors and Xio out of the spirit world and returned to Backlund.

Xio's face was filled with astonishment. She looked around and found that it was indeed Backlund's house. She said unconsciously:
"He actually came back? Tingen is so far away from Backlund! He actually came back in less than a minute?!"

Fors also complained:

"Yes! We took a four-hour steam train to get there! I should have written a letter earlier... Um, Klein, have you had dinner?" Fors saw Klein still writing something and asked immediately.

"You went to Tingen?" Klein deduced a lot of information from the two people's words. He was stunned for a moment and said:

"Going on a business trip to Tingen?"

Old Blue closed the portal and sighed:

"Young people nowadays can call traveling and eating and drinking at public expense a 'business trip'. Old people like me are increasingly confused by this world. It's better for me to retire honestly, right?"
