Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 34 Becoming an Informant
In Star's opinion, it would definitely be better to let Klein report that he was a Beyonder than for other Nighthawks, Punishers, and Mechanical Heart members to discover that Star was a Beyonder.

Although he has unique skills and controls the "reality and illusion".

But the extraordinary world is always full of surprises. How can you guarantee that you won't be discovered? How can you guarantee that you won't need to be an informant? You should make more preparations.

So Star agreed to Klein's request to be his informant.

Then he thought about his own "tampering" method, and said after some consideration:
"When you report to the church, try not to reveal my connections. If you must, just say I'm just a 'lawyer'."

Star recalled the clues left by his original self when he was doing business in the Dragon Bar, which seemed to be enough to make them suspect that he was a "lawyer".

Then, Star noticed the loophole in what Klein had just said and asked, "By the way, you have to have a reason when you report it. Have you thought about it? You can't just say that you found a wild Beyonder and then develop an informant."

"This, I haven't thought about it yet."

Klein stopped eating the fish.

"Developing Star as an informant" was indeed an idea he came up with on the spur of the moment, and he had not yet perfected the idea.

Klein just thought that becoming an informant would make it easier for him to visit Star more often in the future to confirm whether Star was really okay.

As for the intermediate process, we can also come up with a reason to help Star cover it up.

But it’s indeed a bit difficult to fabricate for the time being.

It's impossible that they met at an online meeting of "Evil God" and then developed a relationship offline, right?

And should we say that Star is an undercover agent of a certain organization? No, no, an informant.

"How about this, you can say that I'm investigating the Aurora Society and help me apply for some funding."

Star recalled the previous investigation into the Aurora Society and gave this suggestion to Klein, who looked troubled.

"Aurora Society? Star, are you tracking those lunatics?"

Klein asked curiously, and stopped chewing.

"Well, I have been following what they have been doing recently, and there will be results soon."

Star said as he sat on a chair in the kitchen and stretched.

Then Star mentioned to Klein that Klein had suddenly come to visit him, and said with a smile on his face:
"How are you going to explain this? You can't just say that you are the Fool, I am the Wheel of Fortune, and you are here to visit your Favored One?"

"In other words, how are you going to report how you discovered that I'm a Beyonder?"

Klein tried to organize his words to answer, but found that he really couldn't answer this question.

No matter how you answer it, this question seems a bit embarrassing.

Star glanced at Klein's embarrassment, helplessly held his forehead, and sighed:
"Oh, forget it. Just say that you thought of some of my previous deeds while learning my occult knowledge and suspected that I was a Beyonder."

"Plus, I've worked with your brother's company before and was quite impressed, so I came to visit him today..."

Next, Star discussed the details with Klein who had just finished lunch. Using his skills as a second-rate writer in his previous life, he fabricated a story with a convincing logical chain.

Xiao Ke was stunned by the details and thought to himself that as a keyboard expert, he indeed lacked experience in many things.

It must be said that Star's move made Klein wonder from the bottom of his heart whether Star had a side job. Otherwise, how could he fill in the details so skillfully and make up such a good story.

Finally, Star did not forget to add:
"Xiao Ke, if there is anything unclear, you can ask me again. I can improve this script."

"Of course, if you really can't answer the question and don't have time to ask, it's better to say less than to say more to avoid letting something slip."

Klein agreed without hesitation. Seeing that Klein had written down everything he said, Star thought of his commissioned investigation at Henry Private Detective Agency and instructed:

"I'll bring you the receipts for the expenses incurred during the 'informant' investigation in a few days."

"Don't forget to reimburse me."

Star just thinks it’s better to save money if possible.

Nine pounds can buy a lot of delicious food~
Somehow, the passive role of "the mumbling patient" came back to him again. Fortunately, Star controlled it in time and prevented him from drooling in front of Xiao Ke.

Otherwise, I don’t know what kind of misunderstanding Xiao Ke would have.

But Klein was shocked by what Star said about "reimbursement".

Is this a legitimate excuse to reimburse personal expenses?
I know absolutely nothing about anything like this...

I am really just a keyboard expert...

How come they all know the "reimbursement method"?

Klein felt as if he had learned something from Star.

But when he thought of Old Neil who also mentioned the "reimbursement method", his heart darkened again.

Looking at the "profound" Sta, Klein remembered that the previous information about the "Hidden Sage" was also mentioned by Sta, and he was so knowledgeable, so he should have a way, right?

So Klein suddenly said:

"Star, one of my colleagues seems to be contaminated by the 'evil god', what should I do?"

Star hadn't recovered from his "talking patient" mode of thinking yet, and blurted out:
"Are you the colleague you are talking about?"

"The 'evil god' you are talking about is you?"

Klein immediately understood what Star had said before about becoming a little nervous. He sighed, raised his voice, and said solemnly, "I'm serious."

"Ah, you are serious. So what if you are serious..."

wrong.

Star glanced at Klein and finally realized that Klein was talking about serious matters, not some melodramatic development of "I'm serious, you have to be responsible for me."

"So you were not kidding." Star returned to normal and sighed.

The corner of Klein's mouth twitched, and he said, "Do you think I look like that kind of person?"

"Well, about this." Star sighed and ignored the topic with a laugh, then continued, "The evil god you are talking about is the 'Hidden Sage'?"

"Yes, how did you know? I haven't told you yet." Klein asked in surprise.

"The reason is simple. Your colleague is a Nighthawk. It is impossible for him to contact the evil god on his own initiative. In this case, only the hidden sage of 'Knowledge Chasing People' would dump garbage everywhere and pollute the environment."

Wonderful reasoning and vivid statement.

Klein sighed silently and just continued to listen to see if Star had any good suggestions.

Star thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Okay, let's make an appointment. I'll help you look after that colleague then."
