Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

Chapter 81 Mr. A, The Fool asked me to send my greetings to you.

Tuesday, October 8th.

Eight o'clock in the morning, in a coffee shop in the Hillston area.

Yu Jin sat by the window, gently stirring his coffee with a spoon while observing the pedestrians passing by on the street through the window.

Klein, dressed in a tailcoat and wearing a top silk hat, sat silently opposite him.

"Welcome to Backlund, Mr. Klein."

Yu Jin put down his spoon and nodded slightly as a greeting.

Just call me Klein.

Klein touched his nose and said to the approaching waiter, "A cup of Southvale coffee, please."

Ember glanced at the top of Klein's head.

[Celestial Favorite] Klein Moretti

Yu Jin fell into deep thought.

Upon seeing Klein again, he was reminded of that long-forgotten question—

Why is Klein, the follower of the Fool, titled "Celestial Follower"?

"Could it be...?"

Yu Jin's mind stirred slightly, and he suddenly had a bold guess.

Mr. Fool is probably...

I'm afraid he's taken in a traitor's relative!

"I don't have much time, so I'll just say what I mean."

Klein had no idea what Ember was thinking. He quickly reviewed his thoughts and said, "First, I've already used up that sacrifice ring. You can name the specific compensation you want."

"Secondly, the dagger you lent me is also lost, and I will compensate you for it at the original price."

Halfway through the conversation, the waiter came over and brought the coffee to Klein.

Klein picked up a spoon, scooped a spoonful of sugar into the coffee, and stirred it gently with the spoon.

But secretly, he was observing Yu Jin's expression out of the corner of his eye.

But Klein was actually suffering inside too!

The sacrifice ring was used by the captain to save his life, so it was well spent.

But that dagger was a completely undeserved misfortune.

Originally, Yu Jin lent him the dagger, and as long as he returned it later, there would be no problem.

But who knew that Leonard was so shameless, he actually touched his own corpse!

Everyone says to respect the dead, but I died trying to save Tingen. Can't you at least show me some respect?

Now that he has "come back to life," it is impossible for him to openly go to Leonard to retrieve the dagger.

Therefore, the only option is to lose an extra amount of money.

Klein was in a terrible state of mind.

They were already heavily in debt, and now things are even worse.

"Compensation?"

Ember tapped the table lightly with his fingers, thought for a moment, and then said, "How about sacrificing the ring and the dark dagger, totaling ten thousand gold pounds?"

"it is good."

Klein took a deep breath and nodded emphatically. "I'll raise the money and pay you back as soon as possible. Besides, I owe you a favor!"

Klein knew perfectly well that the 'Sacrifice Ring' alone was worth far more than ten thousand gold pounds!

Ember was clearly giving him a discount on purpose because of "The Fool".

Klein didn't try to put on a show of wealth.

He can't even pay back ten thousand pounds. If he tries to pretend to be rich when he's not, what is he but a fool?

But no matter what, he is still insolvent.

Then the only way to repay the debt is through personal favors.

"No problem."

Ember nodded slightly and continued, "Also, you don't need to repay this ten thousand gold pounds in cash."

"..."

Klein's face stiffened, and he said with a wry smile, "Then how do you want me to repay you?"

"Including that favor, you've done me three things in total, how about that?"

"Can."

Klein agreed to Ember's suggestion after only a slight hesitation.

Excluding favors, the average reward for one task is 5000 gold pounds.

He had no reason not to accept it.

"The first thing."

Yu Jin held up one finger. "You help me investigate information related to the 'lawyer' pathway. Any information is fine."

"it is good."

Klein thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

He knew that Ember had been searching for the "Black Emperor," who was intricately connected to the "Lawyer" network. Investigating the "Lawyer" was essentially investigating the "Black Emperor."

"I haven't thought about the second thing yet, so I'll leave it for now."

Yu Jin took a sip of coffee and continued, "Let's talk about you. What are your plans now?"

What plans could I possibly have?

Klein's expression was strained, and he said with a bitter smile, "Besides completing the task assigned to me, all I want now is to find my killer as soon as possible!"

Ince Zangwell!

Klein clenched his fists; he had already divined the identity of the shameless culprit who had stolen the drug.

If it weren't for that stunt by the other side, I wouldn't have died.

If I don't kill him, I'll be doing myself a disservice in dying!

"Oh, right."

Klein suddenly said, "My current name is..."

"Mr. Blake?"

Just then, a newsboy peeked out from the coffee shop door and hesitantly called out.

Yu Jin turned around and waved to the other person.

"A gentleman asked me to give this to you."

The newsboy jogged over and handed a note to Yu Jin.

"gentlemen?"

Ember raised an eyebrow slightly. "What kind of gentleman?"

"Hmm, not very tall, only a little taller than me, and looks quite thin."

The newsboy gestured as he tried, and Yu Jin immediately understood that he was talking about Hugh.

"Go."

Yu Jin nodded slightly, took out a one-sol note, and handed it to the newsboy.

"Thank you, sir."

The newsboy immediately beamed with joy and jogged away from the coffee shop.

Yu Jin then unfolded the paper, which contained an address, causing him to narrow his eyes slightly.

"Klein,"

Yu Jin stood up and said slowly, "I still have some things to take care of, so let's stop here for today."

"certainly."

Klein relaxed and smiled. "Anyway, we're all in Backlund, so we'll have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future."

Yu Jin nodded, took out a one-pound note and placed it on the table. Before leaving, he paused for a moment. "I live at 117 Burningham Street. If you need any help, you can find me there."

"I will."

Klein paused, as if he had thought of something, and nodded solemnly.

Watching the embers depart, Klein seemed to sense something and sighed softly.

Knew it.

Maybe next time.

……

3 PM.

Ember stood in front of a seemingly ordinary house, the address Hugh had given him.

If nothing unexpected happens, Mr. A will be here.

But this is all assuming nothing unexpected happens.

However, it doesn't matter if something unexpected happens.

He had already released the dogs.

"Bang bang~"

Yu Jin stepped forward and knocked on the wooden door.

Soon, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler opened the door a crack.

"Come in, Mr. A is waiting for you."

Guided by the middle-aged man, Yu Jin entered the house and found a man wearing a hood and sitting with his legs crossed in a small room, giving off a condescending feeling.

"Speak, what is it?"

"Before that."

Yu Jin asked politely, "I'd like to confirm first, are you Mr. A?"

"Yes."

Mr. A's gaze swept over Yu Jin, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "I hope you really have something urgent to tell me."

"certainly."

Ember smiled and nodded. "The Fool asked me to send my greetings."

"What?"

Mr. A was initially taken aback, but the next second he saw Yu Jin pull out a skull, and his gaze was almost subconsciously drawn to the skull.

The next second, however, Yu Jin suddenly crushed the skull and threw it on the ground!

[Luring the Enemy with a Skull]

A skull tainted with the scent of a soul.
