A few days later.

As Stephen expected, although everyone in Lebra tried their best and exhausted all methods, they still did not get any useful clues.

When the tired people reunited in the headquarters, Zapp and Jane, who had always looked at each other, were too tired to continue fighting each other.

"The opponent this time is really not easy. I have already raided the drug dealer's den in the alley several times. If this continues, the security level in the neighborhood will rise."

Zap slumped on the sofa with a look of despair, but unfortunately no one responded to his complaints.

Because apart from him, there are only two people left in the headquarters, Jane and Stephen, which seems a little deserted.

"Where's Leo? Why is he missing?" Stephen discovered the problem.

"Tsk!"

When he mentioned this issue, Zapp couldn't help but clicked his tongue:

"Anything can happen in the world... You are right, Fantou. That brat suddenly has a super cute girl as his friend, so now this brat has to go to the hospital to have sex with his girlfriend every now and then. Meeting my girlfriend... is so enviable!”

After complaining for a while, Zapp looked at Klaus's empty chair:

"Today...why isn't the boss playing demon war chess?"

"Idiot shit monkey, even the boss can't just play games all day long." Jane immediately scolded him after regaining her energy a little.

"Idiots are superfluous, you bastard dog girl!"

"Ha! Don't you deny the name of shit anymore?"

"What?! Do you want a fight?!"

Seeing that he seemed unable to defeat the opponent, Zapp couldn't help but stand up and roll up his sleeves, preparing for a fight.

"You two! If you still have energy, go look for clues again!"

Seeing the two people quarreling more and more fiercely, Stephen, who was not in a good mood, showed cold eyes.

"Haha... I'm just kidding, I'm just a little curious. Mr. Gilbert doesn't seem to be here today either." Zap's body froze when Stephen saw him, and he shrank back to the sofa in embarrassment.

After seeing Stephen getting angry, Jane didn't dare to continue provoking Zap: "Yeah, it did become so quiet..."

After saying that, Jane looked at Stephen a little cautiously.

She always felt that Stephen's mood had become more and more irritable in the past two days. Although she had not received any effective clues, it was normal for her to be irritable. However, as someone who admired Stephen, Jane could clearly sense that the reason for Stephen's irritability was not because this.

After Stephen heard Zapp's words, his eyes involuntarily glanced at Klaus and Gilbert's desks, and then his eyes dimmed, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Several people fell silent again, and there was an unbearable calm in the room.

Just when Zapp couldn't bear it and wanted to suggest going out, Stephen suddenly broke the oppressive silence and stood up seemingly calmly.

"I'll go out and look for relevant clues. You two will rest today, but remember to be on call at the headquarters at any time."

"Ah, yes!"

Zapp stared blankly at Stephen's leaving figure, and didn't realize until the door closed: "Are we on vacation?"

"This is called standby! Idiot monkey!" Jane glanced at him.

"You guy!!"

In a quiet high-rise parking lot beside a street in Hersalemz, a dark car drove up quietly.

After passing through several passages, the car finally stopped at a certain passage.

At the end of this passage, a rider riding a black motorcycle and wearing a black windbreaker was parked here.

Seeing the car approaching slowly, the rider took off his helmet, revealing KK's face.

"...It's true, little Klaus, I've made you wait for so long."

Before the car stopped, the door was eagerly opened. Klaus and Gilbert got out of the car urgently and ran towards KK.

"K·K! You are not injured, are you?!"

"Injured?" K.K felt a little strange when he heard this. He looked around and realized, "Oh, you mean this? Of course I'm fine. Are you so worried about me? I'm so happy!"

As he spoke, K·K, who was already a mother of two children, smiled like an innocent little girl.

But if paired with a large number of heavily armed enemy corpses piled up on both sides of her, her smile would become extremely terrifying.

Seeing that KK was indeed fine, Klaus breathed a sigh of relief, and Gilbert promptly suggested: "Then, get in the car first, young master."

"Okay, K.K. get in the car first."

K.K looked at the black car that Gilbert drove over, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and then nodded: "Let's go."

"You guys...don't you plan to invite me to come too?"

Just as a few people opened the car door, a sudden sound made the three people's bodies freeze involuntarily.

Not only because they didn't notice anyone approaching, but also because the sound was so familiar to them.

K·K's lips twitched twice, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "Oh, this is going to be troublesome."

Klaus turned around quietly and looked at his partner standing behind him: "I'm sorry for hiding this from you Stephen, but you may not be able to help with this matter."

"I know. You're not good at covering things up, and it's been too obvious a few times."

After revealing that several people were secretly partying behind his back, Stephen didn't seem that angry. After hearing Klaus's rejection, he just shrugged casually and walked to the car seemingly casually with his hands in his pockets.

"With your personality, you will never avoid talking about it if you need my help, so I know that I will never be able to help with this matter."

Seeing that Stephen's mood should be quite stable, KK breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest: "Oh, it scares me to death. Stephen, you have a stiff face every day. It's very scary!"

"Sorry K.K., but my expression is used to this."

After a sincere apology to KK, Stephen once again set his sights on Klaus:

"So, although I can't help, I can at least be the person who collects your body, right?"

Klaus was silent for a moment, then shook his head:

"Sorry, Stephen, the place we are going to now is too dangerous! Although I have been lucky enough to come out alive a few times, I am not sure I can still survive this time. If we are unlucky, all of us will have to stay There. So, I can't..."

"This time is different!" Stephen interrupted Klaus.

"What happened this time is completely different from what happened in the past, and the people and forces involved are far beyond your imagination!

In fact, I can almost think of ways for you to obtain new information, but because of this, I must go there this time. Although it may be useless, at least I can obtain an important piece of information. "

Stephen did not make it clearer. After all, if there is bad luck this time, it is very likely that several people will not be able to come back alive.

And Stephen even suspected that the other party released the angel armor just to seduce them as bait.

"So, this time K.K., we will exchange places, and you will return to the headquarters and be on standby..."

After hesitating for a moment, Stephen did not say the next words.

But after everyone has been fighting together for so many years, KK certainly understands what he means.

Stephen has already prepared for the worst. If all three of them are wiped out this time, then one person must return to Lebra to continue the work.

"That's not appropriate. I think you are more suitable to be Lebra's new leader than me." K·K spoke without hesitation.

In fact, Klaus thought so too, that's why he chose KK as his body collector.

Because once a conflict breaks out due to bad luck, it is very likely that everyone who goes there will not be able to come back alive. At this time, Stephen will take on the leadership of Lebra.

"Don't worry, I still have other backup plans. If I die, someone will send things to you, and they will help you rebuild Lebra together."

Stephen walked to the car very naturally, opened the door and sat in. He gave KK a rare smile: "And KK, didn't you just come here on a motorcycle? In this case, at least you don't have to let me Let’s go back so hard.”

Klaus and K·K looked at each other without much hesitation. Klaus, as the core leader of Lebra, quickly made a decision and nodded firmly to K·K: "Then Lebra I’ll trouble you if you pull over there!”

"Don't talk like you are bound to die. Haven't you come back alive 4 times already?!"

K·K rolled his eyes helplessly, but sat back on the motorcycle obediently, and glanced at Stephen fiercely.

"You cold-faced man, I knew you must have made a lot of messy things secretly in private! When you come back, I will let Klaus question you!"

"Then I can only pray that we can come back safely." Stephen did not take KK's "threat" to heart.

"In that case, Gilbert, let's go!" Klaus also got into the car.

"Yes, Master."

Gilbert maintained his composure as a top butler as always, and waited for several people to discuss it before he slowly started the car and left.

As the car embarked on the journey, Klaus also urgently introduced their main trip to Stephen in the car.

"Don Alul El Eluga Falgrusho?!" Stephen opened his eyes in disbelief after listening to Klaus's explanation, "It's the senator I know. Ruel Air?”

"That's right, he is that one, one of the elders of the other world, the person at the top of the whole other world's power, one of the few big shots."

"The problem is big now, it's actually that elder."

Surprisingly, Stephen had already made some guesses about the source of Klaus' intelligence before, but he never expected that he was actually the most powerful person in another world.

It is no exaggeration to say that even though the assistants of the Thirteen Kings are annoying, this person is already at the pinnacle of power in the other world. Even in the two worlds, there are only a handful of people who can equal his power.

If converted to the human world, this elder can be regarded as a top leader at the level of the Five Permanent Members, and this "Five Permanent Members" is also a genuine imperial country!

This is the status of Alul El's power. Even his power as a divine being seems to be somewhat eclipsed in front of this level of power.

"This is a big problem." Stephen chewed his fingers involuntarily, but soon discovered the problem.

"But that's not right. Logically speaking, we people... no, even the leaders of other worlds cannot 'visit' such a being so casually, right?"

"That's because... he is a fanatical fan of demon war chess!" Klaus said this fact calmly.

"I see!"

Stephen looked at Klaus and recalled that when Klaus was in the headquarters, he spent most of his time sitting in front of the computer and playing the game of Monster War.

"I thought you were really addicted to that game, but it seems I misunderstood."

"Ah, no, the game of Monster War is really fun." Klaus gave a thumbs up.

"Don't be so honest in this situation. At least let me be moved a little bit!"

After complaining, Stephen discovered another problem:

"You should have told me earlier. If I had known that you were going to use the demon war flag to obtain information this time, I could have arranged people in advance."

Although Lebra is a small organization, Stephen feels that it is easy to hire a chessboard master in advance if he is prepared.

"After all, I remember that although you like to play demon war chess, you are not very good at playing games, right?"

It is no exaggeration to say that through their free time games, Stephen felt that he was better than Klaus.

"You misunderstood. It's not that I'm not good at games, but I'm not good at winning." Klaus retorted seriously.

What he said made a black line appear on Stephen's head involuntarily: "Isn't the purpose of playing chess itself to win?"

"No, it's different." Klaus looked very serious.

"The rules of the game of Elder Alul El are that after listening to the wish of the person who comes, the length of the game will be determined according to the wish. The greater the wish to be realized, the longer the game will be played with him.

The rule is to play fast chess. If you can win, there is no need to say more about what if, but if you can delay it until the end of time or draw, it will be regarded as the challenger winning.

Of course, if they fail, the challenger will lose their 'remaining life'. "

"It sounds like very favorable conditions for the challenger... Although the risk of failure is the challenger's life, the conditions for winning sound relatively simple."

As he said this, Stephen's brows wrinkled.

He knew Klaus's character very well. Since the conditions seemed so favorable, but Klaus still regarded it as an extremely risky behavior, it meant that there were unknown difficulties.

"I want to correct you. Failure is not 'death', but 'remaining life', which refers to the 'life' that includes all possibilities."

"It's not easy to understand." Stephen shook his head and looked at Klaus, "But no matter what, haven't you come back alive four times? Doesn't this mean you defeated him four times?"

"You're wrong. I didn't come back winning every time. Instead, I racked my brains to hold on until the end of time, and I just escaped with my breath!"

Klaus said the shameful truth without hesitation.
