Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 899: Fellow Countryman Meets Fellow Countryman
Before this, Klein had doubted this.

Because ever since he discovered the truth about his "time travel" and found out that there was another "qualification" for time travel besides himself and Russell Gustav, whose real name was Huang Tao, he has been thinking about who would be the third time traveler.

His suspects include the Elf King Sonyathorem, who invented chopsticks, was good at using spices, and was popular with eating animal offal and "blood sausage"; and the ancient sun god who named his son Adam, used the cross as a symbol, and created religious customs originally on Earth.

Of course, now there is also the businessman who invested in a factory in the East District to produce Coke.

But after his investigation, most of these suspects were cleared of suspicion.

For example, in Roselle's diary, the emperor, who was also a time traveler, also had doubts about the Elf King, but he ruled out this possibility after multiple investigations. After analysis, Klein basically agreed with his judgment.

The ancient sun god also confirmed in his recent divination of the "Darkless Cross" that he walked out of a building in the darkness, which was suspected to be a "physical travel through time", which was very different from the "soul travel" of Klein and Russell. Of course, it is not ruled out that someone died in that building and then became the object of travel, but the possibility is undoubtedly much lower.

At least I won’t say “there will be light” when I wake up… he muttered to himself.

The mysterious man with the Coke formula is Klein's latest and most anticipated suspect. He originally planned to meet the other party this weekend under the pretext of investment, and then confirm everything based on divination. But now that Angel is a suspect... no, a confirmed time traveler, Klein finds that this suspect can be explained clearly:

That bottle of "Black Bear Coke" was invested by Angel!

"Oh, this is really a famous product both at home and abroad. I'm curious why Russell, with his flamboyant personality, never 'invented' Coke... Well, maybe the technology at that time was not able to produce cheap glass bottles and fill them with carbon dioxide gas, and the cost did not allow it..."

Klein's voice echoed in the gray mist palace, mixed with a sense of joy that surprised even him.

With a smile on his face, Klein leaned back, passed through the gray fog, and returned to his body.

It was late at night, and most of the servants in Dantes's mansion had fallen asleep. However, the door of his bedroom opened immediately, and three figures, some with guns on their waists and some dressed as servants, came in one after another and stood in a row in front of Klein.

These are his three secret puppets, "Fallen Count" Qiunas, "Gatekeeper" Ludwell and "Winner" Enuni.

In addition, as a "trickster", Klein kept "Creeping Hunger" and "Death Knell" on his body, and carried talismans such as "Luck Stealer" and soul-controlling bullets. In addition to accommodating the Card of Blasphemy and carrying the "Poseidon" scepter, this is already his strongest combat form.

Fight...what am I thinking...

Klein suddenly laughed at himself. The black gloves on his hands turned transparent. The three secret puppets came to his side at the same time and grabbed various parts of his body.

The next second, four figures disappeared in the room.

……

After leaving the secret dolls far away, Klein reappeared on the third floor of Theresa's residence at 8 Burningham Road, standing at the door of Angel's bedroom.

The Tarot Club's temporary operation had just ended, and Leonard was probably still being questioned by Pales Zoroast. Miss Justice Audrey was probably too excited to sleep, and was reminiscing about this adventure... What about Angel? Was she planning to come to my place and bring up a topic that was inconvenient to discuss in front of others, and discuss it until late at night as usual, and then...

Taking a deep breath and gathering his chaotic thoughts, Klein stretched out the hand without the Creeping Hunger and gently knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

Angel's soft and lazy voice immediately came from the room.

This is not the tone you use to treat a maid. She knows I’m here… A flash of enlightenment flashed through Klein’s mind, and he pushed the door open and walked in.

The curtains in the bedroom were rarely drawn, and the moonlight as soft as red gauze sprinkled on the floor, making Angel, who was standing near the floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony, look a bit dreamy.

She was wearing a black silk nightgown, with her bare feet exposed outside the hem of the dress as she stepped on the carpet. Klein, who was full of worries, couldn't help but take a few more glances. Her long light golden hair was simply tied into a ponytail, draped softly behind her, reflecting light like silk.

"Why are you here? I was just about to go over there."

She asked with a hint of doubt.

Yes, she always comes to me, and I seem to have basically... No, I have never taken the initiative to look for her... Klein suddenly felt a little guilty and looked away uneasily. After a moment, he looked back, looking past Angel's tight pajamas, her slender waist and the whiteness of her chest, and fell on her eyes that revealed a curious look.

"He, hello?"

He suddenly uttered an English word that had not been used for a long time and was a little unfamiliar, and he was so nervous that even his tone changed.

"Eh?"

Angel's expression froze, and she squeezed out a single note from the depth of her throat that meant nothing, but represented her mood at the moment.

"In the Hall of Honesty, I heard it."

Klein added, this time in Loenese.

If a greeting in English still made Angel suspect that he had heard it wrong, this explanation was enough to erase any ambiguity.

In front of Klein, the expression on that beautiful face gradually relaxed, from dull to stunned, then to surprised, and finally to ecstasy. Sentences of English came out of her mouth at a very fast speed. Klein just followed a sentence, but was knocked down by the next three or five sentences. It was very different from the school English he learned before crossing over. The tone was even similar to the German accent, which made him feel dizzy.

It can't be some English dialect...

It was not until then that he realized the difference between knowing a foreign language and being able to use it fluently. This was very different from the memories he had received from "Klein", and spirituality was of no help, because just like Chinese, the "spiritual world" had no relevant records!

"Wait, Angel, calm down!"

As a last resort, he interrupted the chattering of the other party in Loenese, and even used both hands to hold down Angel's shoulders, who was so excited that she couldn't express herself in words. This made her realize something and stop her unilateral expression.

"Sorry, I'm a little... too excited." She took a deep breath and spoke in Loen. "Let me confirm again. You know what I'm talking about is 'English', right?"

"It's just that the accent is a little bit strange...but I can understand most of it."

Klein explained awkwardly, but the corners of his mouth curled up high, unable to hide his inner joy.

There is no doubt that Angel is also a time traveler from "Earth" just as he thought.

Although unlike Roselle, she is most likely from Europe or America, but in the alien world, this difference is nothing, we are all family!

"This is the accent of my hometown... Now what? Are you getting used to it?"

The second half of Angel's sentence was changed back to English, but the pronunciation was changed. Klein felt as if he was back in the English exam room, listening to the recorded clip coming from the loudspeaker.

“It’s much easier to understand now, but my native language is Chinese, which is…” Klein paused, and the pages of the diary that the other party presented to The Fool emerged in his mind.

"Emperor Roselle's diary?"

As if receiving a secret signal, Angel quickly took over the conversation and spoke.

This refreshing feeling of unimpeded communication made Klein feel a little elated. Although the two of them had already developed enough tacit understanding in their usual communication, now that they had shared their secrets with each other, he felt that their close relationship had developed further.

"It's a pity that Emperor Roselle appeared two hundred years earlier, otherwise the three of us 'roommates' would be together now."

After the excitement wore off a little, Klein said with some emotion.

"Bernadette always thought he was still alive, maybe there was still a chance... 'Roommate'? What does that mean?"

Angel also sighed, and then asked back with some confusion.

"For some reason, I saw the place where we were temporarily before the 'crossing'. There were three empty 'cocoons' very close to each other, representing you, me, and Roselle. Isn't this the same as 'roommates'?"

Klein explained in a way that did not expose himself as a “fool”, and a smile appeared on his face.

Because the "third time traveler" he had been looking for was right in front of him, that was Angel, the Angel with whom he had the closest relationship.

This not only explains why the other party directly completed the "immortal" witch promotion ceremony, but also means that she, like herself, was "resurrected" in the body of someone who had just died.

This means that she is not the "Cole Granger" with bloody hands.

Of course, the time of Angel's "time travel" is still uncertain, but based on Klein's previous investigation, it is very likely that it was the same period as him, or even the same day, because at the end of June last year, the "instigator" Cole Granger disappeared and the "assassin" Angel Granger appeared. In addition to the change in identity, there was also a change in "gender".

As for what happened, it is not difficult to see from Klein's own experience of time travel that it has a lot to do with the "witch" potion.

For example, Cole took the "witch" potion and tried to get promoted, but died because of loss of control. Angel happened to "travel through time" and entered the dead body, giving it life again, and part of the extraordinary characteristics in the body were separated, retaining the "assassin" sequence.

Although this sounds bizarre, Klein watched his own wild imagination recover at a speed visible to the naked eye in the mirror, and was deeply impressed by the "benefits" that came with time travel.

This might be related to the gray fog and Sefirah Castle. Like Roselle, she chose a different path and could not get further help...

After realizing this, Klein's expression became brighter.

"But, I don't remember any 'cocoon' existing..." Angel frowned, and the smile disappeared from his face. "I have seen my own body... well, the body before this one. It was kept in the 'City of Disaster', and there was no one else around."

Corpse?

Klein was somewhat stunned. He had climbed the glowing stairs in the gray fog several times and observed the cocoons that still held people up close. He could clearly sense that although the other party had a heartbeat, breathed, and even shared a common "subconscious sea," they were actually just spirits, not real bodies.

According to the descriptions in the novels he had read in his previous life, this was called "soul crossing".

So what about Angel's own body?
