Chapter 331 Klein's Plan and its Connection to the "Little Snake"
Klein handed the blasphemous card he had just prepared to Evan. Evan took it without looking at it closely, and simply flipped it over with his hand, letting Amon put it away.
"We haven't seen each other for a while, do you know who I saw before?"
I still need to inform Klein about Dunn Smith's matter, but it's not urgent, so Evan didn't specifically contact Klein beforehand. Now I'm taking this opportunity to tell him everything at once!
"Who?"
Klein's first thought was Benson or Melissa, but then he realized that the government employee exam hadn't started yet, and the first round of exams were all held in the local area, meaning that you took the exam wherever you registered. Benson had registered in Tingen, so he probably wouldn't be in Backlund at this time!
"Dunne Smith!" Evan didn't keep anyone in suspense and gave the answer directly!
"Captain? The captain is in Backlund now?" Klein asked in surprise.
In the past, if Klein had heard that the captain had come to Backlund, he would have been worried that there would be another familiar face in Backlund.
But now that he has become the "Faceless Man" who can change his appearance and body shape, he no longer worries about being exposed, and is naturally more delighted about the arrival of the captain!
"Not only him, but also your colleague Leonard, they both joined the Red Gloves and became the backbone of the Church of the Night Goddess."
"And you two almost met before, didn't you know?"
Klein frowned upon hearing this, quickly recalling his experiences over the past few days. Confirming that he had not seen the captain, he shook his head, indicating that he did not know where he had met the captain.
Evan wasn't there at the time and was quite surprised to find that Klein hadn't noticed anything.
"Right here, at the scene where you killed Jason Beria, Dunn Smith and his squad were tracking you, and he saw you leave!"
Klein suddenly realized that when he sensed someone approaching, he was in a hurry to get away and didn't pay much attention. He never expected to brush past the captain.
"How did you find out about this? Did the captain tell you?"
Klein didn't understand why the captain would tell Evan about this. Were they that close?
"I met him at the memorial service for Duke Negan. I was attending the memorial service and he was in charge of security. We chatted for a bit!"
He told me that this was a test, or you could say that a glimmer of hope had been ignited in his heart!
You feel that the figure you see looks very much like yourself, so you can't help but test me, the favored one of the goddess of the night and also your friend in life, to see if you are really dead!
When you were present at the scene, containing the blasphemous card of the "Black Emperor," you didn't use the "Faceless Man's" abilities to change your form, did you?
Klein hadn't expected the captain to recognize him just from his back, and his feelings were a mix of emotions.
"No, I didn't think that much at the time. I felt that since it was disguised as a blasphemous card, there shouldn't be any problems. I was still careless!"
"By the way, what did you say to the captain? You didn't just admit I'm still alive, did you?"
"Do you think I'm that stupid? Don't forget that Ince Zangwell and 0-08 are right here in Backlund."
As a survivor of the Tingen incident, Dunn Smith will likely be under intense scrutiny upon his arrival in Backlund.
Once I admit to him that you are still alive, your presence in Ince Zangwell will be exposed!
While 0-08 might selectively conceal some information that could potentially harm its owner, this is not something to gamble on!
Evan rolled his eyes, denying that he had revealed Klein's existence, while reminding Klein not to focus solely on Capin's matter.
But he forgot that he had a formidable enemy!
Klein remained silent. If it weren't for Evan's reminder, he would have almost forgotten that Ince Zangwell was also in Backlund.
At the same time, he also admired Evan's high level of vigilance. It seemed that no matter when he considered a problem, he was always so thorough and meticulous that no one could see any flaws!
He considers even things that aren't his own so thoroughly!
"So what did you tell the captain?"
"What else could I say? I just laughed it off and said he had a problem digesting the potion, which caused him to hallucinate, and even suggested he see a psychiatrist!"
Thinking back to how Dunn Smith was speechless and unable to refute his concern, Evan couldn't help but chuckle!
Klein mentally simulated the situation.
Dunn Smith harbored doubts and cautiously probed Evan, only to be suspected by Evan of having a mental illness due to the potion going out of control. He was seriously advised to see a 'psychologist' as soon as possible, but he couldn't explain it and was probably speechless.
Thinking about this, Klein felt much better.
"How do you plan to handle this? Will you find an opportunity to tell him? Or will you continue to keep it a secret?"
This is somewhat of a private matter for you, so I won't offer any advice!
Evan's words brought Klein back to the present, prompting him to consider whether to reconnect with his former colleague!
"You said you wouldn't give me advice, but you've already said everything you needed to say."
However, you're right. With Ince Zangwell and 008 still in Backlund, contacting the Captain and the others now could expose them, which is far too dangerous.
Moreover, the fact that I'm still alive is a good card to play in my future revenge against Ince Zangwill. Ince Zangwill would never imagine that a dead ghost is plotting revenge against him!
When Ince Zangwell was mentioned, Klein's eyes were filled with hatred, not only for the hatred of being separated from his family and friends, but also for the hatred of people like Megas and the citizens of Tingen who were passively drawn into his plans and lost their lives!
Moreover, there was another important reason why he decided not to contact the captain and the others.
That is, the attitude of the Goddess of the Night is still unclear.
Klein, who had always suspected his own existence in the eyes of the Goddess of Night, took the opportunity a few days ago to go to church to pray.
Strangely, although he clearly felt that he was being watched by the goddess of the night, he did not receive any response or revelation, as if his prayers were just the daily prayers of an ordinary believer to their deity.
The goddess of night faced his prayer as if it were the prayer of an ordinary believer.
However, it was precisely because the entire prayer process was so normal that the way the goddess of night looked at him throughout the prayer process seemed so abnormal.
This also made Klein realize that his previous analysis was not wrong, but for unknown reasons, the Goddess of Night had adopted a cold attitude towards him!
So Klein, who was unaware of the inside story, decided to stick to the original course of action and stop thinking about taking any shortcuts!
This also means that he cannot act as a chosen one of the Goddess of the Night, like Evan, and receive the blessings and benefits of that status!
Evan was naturally unaware of the interaction between Klein and the Goddess of the Night, so upon learning of Klein's decision, he simply nodded in respect.
After thinking for a moment, Evan finally asked:
"When do you plan to detonate the Kapin detonation? Do you need my help?"
When Evan entrusted the task of monitoring political dissidents to Klein, and when he told Klein about Capin, he had already foreseen this day.
If Klein could keep enduring this, he wouldn't be Klein!
Moreover, his fundamental stance was against George III, so naturally he didn't want things to go so smoothly for him.
At the same time, Evan himself was on George III's side, the mastermind behind the city riots. He didn't want George III and his allies to notice something was wrong when things went wrong, so he had to prepare in advance to clear himself of any trouble.
This is practically walking a tightrope, but it's a tightrope that Evan has no choice but to walk!
Because he wanted to get too much out of this!
"No need. I'll find an opportunity to launch it this week. After all, I've thoroughly investigated the situation of the Kapin family. The arrow is on the bowstring, and I have no choice but to release it! Has this caused you any trouble?" Klein said apologetically.
When Klein first arrived in Backlund, he knew that Evan and his brother were already in George III's camp because of their status and position, and might even be part of George III's conspiracy.
Therefore, Evan could only hint at the conspiracy through certain methods!
He has now decided to no longer tolerate it, which will definitely disrupt George III's plans and may even implicate Evan!
"You don't need to worry about whether it will implicate me. If I were afraid of being implicated, I wouldn't have told you in the first place that Backlund had become the eye of the storm in the world, implying that you, George III, had a conspiracy with the Witch Cult."
As long as your identity as Sherlock Moriarty remains unexposed, I have a way to deal with it!
After all, I arranged this identity myself, and it's deeply connected to me.
Once this identity is exposed, I'll have no way to defend myself!
Sherlock Moriarty also holds the identity of a senior MI9 intelligence officer, and everything was arranged by Evan, so it absolutely cannot be exposed to the Augustus family.
This is the only evidence that can accurately expose that Evan, while appearing to be diligently serving George III, is actually sabotaging him behind the scenes. It must not be exposed!
"Don't worry, I'll be well-prepared and will absolutely not reveal Sherlock Moriarty's identity!"
Klein was deeply moved to see that Evan did not blame him for taking the initiative.
After all, his actions would disrupt George III's rhythm, and consequently, Evan's rhythm as well, but Evan had no complaints!
At the same time, Klein also felt a pang of guilt, which was that he had concealed from Evan the fact that he had revealed George III's biggest trump card in his conspiracy.
That was the unusual behavior of the political dissidents he was monitoring, commissioned by Evan!
He had long noticed that those political dissidents were abnormal, unusually radical, had an intoxicatingly inflammatory rhetoric, and were obsessed with armed uprisings.
These people were not qualified GMs in his mind at all, but a madman who worshipped chaos and was keen on destruction.
After Klein noticed something was wrong with these people, he immediately performed divination on the gray fog and finally discovered that they had all been contaminated, and in a very subtle and difficult-to-detect way.
Klein didn't tell Evan about this because he had planned to expose it long ago.
If the Augustan royal family investigates, Evan, who was unaware of it, will not be suspected!
Klein planned to leave behind a report about the corruption of these political dissidents at the scene of Capin's execution, exposing George III's conspiracy to the three major churches.
This directly led to the failure of the royal family's planned backlog of accounts and caused the three major churches to doubt the royal family.
Klein believed that a conspiracy is a conspiracy precisely because it cannot be exposed to the light of day; a conspiracy exposed to the light of day is powerless!
Moreover, this plan has one advantage: it can preserve Mr. Fool's prestige in front of Bernadette.
Klein had informed Bernadette of this operation in advance, and Bernadette would certainly be closely monitoring the developments.
She will then realize how severely those who have been contaminated are polluted.
How could the 'Fool,' who can see through such hidden corruption, be of low status?
This is very advantageous for Klein to take the initiative in his subsequent interactions with Bernadette, so that his true intentions are not exposed!
"That's good. I'll be waiting for news of your actions these next few days!"
Oh, and remember to take the safe from the Kapin villa after the operation. I reckon it contains a lot of valuables that will be a great help to your future endeavors!
Evan smiled and reminded Klein not to let him repeat the mistakes made in the original work!
Klein was taken aback and nodded solemnly. If it weren't for Evan's reminder, he would have really overlooked this point!
Evan pulled out his pocket watch from his chest, glanced at the time, and realized it was already very late, far past the time he had agreed upon with Fors. He knew that today was the day Fors was to meet with members of the Abraham family, which was a major event, and he urgently needed to know the details.
So Evan didn't delay any longer and immediately called Miss Sharon and Marich in again, instructing them in front of Klein to prepare for taking over the Kapin underground forces in the next few days.
Miss Sharon and Marich found it a little strange, but they didn't ask any further questions and said they would be prepared.
Afterwards, Evan and Klein left the Brave Ones Bar one after the other.
Evan naturally headed to the apartment where Fors and Hugh lived, while Klein returned to his rented house in the Joewood district!
After returning home, Klein hesitated for a long time before taking out an unconventional origami crane from his desk drawer.
After a long period of mental preparation, Klein took a deep breath, unfolded the origami crane, took out a pencil, and gently wrote:
"I'm preparing to expose George III's conspiracy; I wonder if you could offer some assistance?"
After writing this sentence, Klein folded the origami crane again and put it in his breast pocket. He then lay down on his bed and entered a dream through meditation.
