Lord of the Mysteries
Chapter 11
The norm is for everyone to die together? Very glad that I’m still alive? Fortunate that I’m still alive?
Klein shivered and quickly ran to the door, trying to catch up with the policemen and ask for protection.
But as soon as he reached the handle, he suddenly stopped.
That officer talked so horribly about it, why didn’t they protect me, an important witness or key lead?
Isn’t that too careless?
Were they just probing me? Or maybe it’s a bait?
All kinds of thoughts rushed into Klein’s mind; he suspected that the police were still secretly “watching” him, observing his reaction.
He felt much calmer after thinking of this and was no longer so panicked. He slowly opened the door, deliberately shouting with a trembling voice at the staircase, “You guys will protect me, right?”
Tap, tap, tap… There was no response from the police officers, and there was no change in the rhythm of the contact between the leather shoes and the wooden stairs.
“I know! You’ll do that!” Klein shouted again in a tone of feigned conviction, trying to act like a normal person that was in danger.
The sound of footsteps gradually weakened and disappeared into the bottom floor of the apartment.
Klein snorted and laughed, “Isn’t that response too fake? Their acting skills are not up to standard!”
He did not run after them. Instead, he turned back to the room and closed the door behind him.
In the next few hours, Klein fully expressed what they called back in Foodaholic Empire, China—restlessness, nervousness, agitation, inadvertence and murmuring words that he did not understand. He did not slack just because there was no one around.
This is called the self-cultivation of an actor! He laughed at himself in his heart.
When the sun moved to the west, the clouds on the horizon appeared to be reddish-orange. Tenants in the apartment came home one after another; Klein shifted his focus elsewhere.
“Melissa is almost done with school…” He looked at the stove, lifted the kettle, peeled off the coal and took out the revolver.
Without pause or delay, he reached to the back of the board under the double-decked bed where more than ten wooden strips were staggered out.
After clipping the left wheel between a piece of wooden strip and board, Klein straightened up and waited uneasily, fearing that the police would burst open the door and rush into the room with guns in their hands.
If it was an Age of Steam, he was certain he would not be seen by anyone when he did that. However, there were extraordinary powers here, ones that he had proven through his own experiences.
After waiting for a few minutes, there was no movement at the door. There was only the chatter between two tenants who were heading for the Heart of the Wild Bar on Iron Cross Street.
