I have a Synthesizer

#163 - Skip the romance and get straight to the point

Standing in front of the mural, Klein had already gone beyond simply using the Bone Blade to collect oddities; collecting oddities was enjoyable, but it wasn't particularly profitable.

The prices of oddities varied too wildly. He had stabbed the mural a dozen times and only stopped when it showed virtually no reaction.

In fact, his goals were far more than just collecting oddities. For example, with the 'childhood sweetheart' oddity, you couldn't ask for too high a price.

Besides collecting oddities, another reason he was destroying the furniture was to test the house's reaction.

Would his destruction affect the house? Would the house attack him? These were all things Klein wanted to know.

But after testing for so long, he still hadn't gotten the answers he wanted.

He roughly tore the mural down, tossed it into his ring, and decided not to combine it yet. These things were also oddities, and three-item synthesis was still wasteful.

It wasn't very safe here. It would be more cost-effective to wait until he was in a safe place to perform a three-item synthesis.

……

Walking through the corridor on the second floor, most people had already fallen asleep, but some were still engaging in their last bit of madness for the night, like the members of the Red and White Society.

Klein didn't know what impulse drove him, but he knocked on the door of the loudest room and said,

“Hey, hey, young people need to know how to restrain themselves!”

Two weak voices came from the room.

“Got it!”

Having done a good deed, Klein slowly walked to his own door. Standing there, he could still hear Eric snoring. His hand was already on the doorknob, but he hesitated.

He stood at the door for a full five minutes without going in. Finally, he lowered his hand and slowly walked away.

Just as Klein left, Eric opened his eyes and sighed with some resentment.

“You've been out all night and still don't want to come back. It's too much! Leaving me alone in an empty bed while you go off to tryst with women. Klein, you're such a beast.

Alas, how am I to spend this long night?”

……

In Lilith's room, she sat by the window wearing only a half-slip nightgown.

A gentle breeze caressed her green hair, and her smooth, long legs reflected the moonlight, appearing exceptionally fair.

She had been sitting there for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking or what she was waiting for.

“Creak!” The door opened, but Lilith didn't look towards it. She continued to stare out the window and said softly,

“You're here.”

“Yeah.”

Klein stopped and looked at Lilith by the window. Her loosely hanging green hair reminded him of the peaceful time they spent in dormitory 502 at the academy.

That was when he was at his weakest, and it was Lilith's constant companionship that spared him most of the harassment from the Black Cross and the Skull Society.

But that didn't mean Klein wasn't angry. Even with a serious injury, she should have recovered by now. Why hadn't he heard any news? Was disappearing without a word fun?

And there was the matter of Mila. He also wanted an explanation, or rather, he wanted Lilith to explain it to him.

Lilith turned around. She could feel Klein's somewhat unrestrained gaze, but she didn't mind it at all. In fact, she had deliberately dressed like this.

Even after destroying a large number of oddities, the source of the strangeness was still the house itself.

The power of desire in the villa still existed, and everyone staying there was continuously affected, Lilith and Klein included.

They both had expectations in their hearts, but neither would be the first to speak them out.

Klein took a deep breath, suppressed his somewhat agitated emotions, and his eyes regained their clarity.

“Tell me about that spy case.”

Lilith's expression visibly faltered.

“You already knew it was me that day?”

Klein nodded.

Lilith was silent for a moment. All the explanations and excuses she had prepared to tell Klein seemed to be stuck in her throat at that moment.

“About Mila's matter, I'm sorry.”

“If apologies were useful, what would be the point of the Security Department and the Black Cross? If apologies were useful, why would we bother increasing our strength?”

Lilith took a deep breath, seemingly somewhat angered by Klein's attitude, but she still explained,

“Before carrying out that mission, I didn't know that Esmond's target was you.”

Hearing Lilith's explanation, Klein felt a slight sense of relief. As long as there was a reason, that was good enough.

He admitted that he was selfish. He wanted Lilith's explanation, which would make him feel slightly better.

Some people like to say that actions don't need reasons, but they don't know that the idea of 'no reason' is the most hurtful and irreparable.

“About that spy incident, tell me the whole story, the details.”

Lilith was silent again, but this time, she was organizing her words.

“That incident was ordered by your father, Esmond. It was a multi-purpose, long-process execution plan.

After learning that the real Catherine was a spy from Grandok, the plan was already underway.

Initially, Shadow Three and I were to arrest Catherine. After capturing Catherine and obtaining the specific spy information, I was to impersonate Catherine and carry out a series of follow-up plans.

The plan had three purposes in total.

First, Esmond didn't like Vanster, and Mila had basically confirmed her relationship with Vanster. Therefore, your father, Esmond, decided to make Vanster disappear from this world.”

Hearing this, Klein's eyes narrowed. He had seen many instances of parents being dissatisfied with their children's relationships in his previous life.

But this was Tyrrell, after all. Even the textbooks clearly advocated for freedom of love, and even many large families were like that.

Moreover, Vanster's character, status, and family background were all quite good in his opinion. What was the reason?

Just because he didn't like Vanster dating Mila, he killed him directly? Klein didn't know how to describe this kind of behavior.

Reckless? Disregard for human life? His father's desire for control? Did he enjoy the feeling of controlling other people's lives and deaths?

He didn't like Vanster, but instead of telling Mila directly, he chose to kill him directly. Was this something a normal person could do?

Lilith saw the anger in Klein's eyes, but she didn't stop and continued,

“Second, your father, Esmond, and the Flor family reached some unknown goals through this matter.

That's right, Vanster's family. They also agreed to Vanster's death, but I don't know what goals they achieved.”

Hearing this, Klein was already speechless.

His father, Esmond, had done a lot of things to screw over his son. Although he didn't know Esmond's specific goals, at least he hadn't reached the point of killing his own child.

But what was going on with this Flor family? Because they needed to achieve some goal, they sacrificed their own son?

The partner in the collaboration was actually the person who killed their own son. This was even more outrageous than Esmond's actions. This made Klein couldn't help but sigh.

“It seems that my understanding of this world, of this country's so-called families, needs to be changed again. Continue.”

Lilith's tone slowed down slightly.

Third, it's about you. Asmund wants to test your hidden strength. He knows you like to hide it, and ordinary people can't force you to act.

So, killing Vanster also serves as a way to force you to act using Mila, killing two birds with one stone.

As for Lance, as the tester, he's known as the most perfect artificial human in Jay Society, Asmund's capable subordinate, and his strength is sufficient.

Lance can't escape Asmund's control. Moreover, there's also Marian's influence. He can only carry out Asmund's orders.

I only found out about the specific target of the mission, you, when I arrived at the hotel. I'm sorry. After this mission, I investigated why Asmund wanted to test you and discovered a Jay Society plan.

It's called the Ancient Miracle Project, and Klein, you seem to be a part of this plan, or rather, you are the Ancient Miracle.

"Ancient Miracle!"

Joe had also told him about this matter before, but it wasn't as precise as Lilith's explanation.

Klein was silent for a while, putting this matter aside for now. He slightly adjusted his mindset and stared into Lilith's eyes.

"Why are you the executor of this mission?"

Lilith lifted her clothes, revealing her back. Klein was stunned for a moment, then saw a spiral-shaped mark on Lilith's back.

This mark didn't seem to be just a pattern. When he stared at it closely, Klein even felt it rotating, and his mental world seemed to be spinning along with it.

"Klein, do you remember what I relied on to fight the Flame Envoy at the Fire Blade Sect stronghold?"

Klein nodded. That time left a deep impression, how could he forget?

"Of course I remember, you transformed into... um... a form similar to a magical beast."

Lilith nodded.

"This is called the Chaos Mark. It's the inheritance of my mother's lineage. Of course, some people also call it the Black King Mark.

People with the Chaos Mark and Chaos Blood can activate the Chaos Form, which is the form you've seen before."

"Black King?" Klein was slightly surprised.

"Yes, the Chaos Mark is something left behind by the first generation Black King."

Lilith paused for a moment, then continued.

"Your father, Asmund, has a portion of Chaos Blood in his hands, and this Chaos Blood is my mother's.

He promised me that as long as I complete this mission, he would give me my mother's Chaos Blood.

Chaos Blood is not only my strongest trump card, but also my mother's legacy. No matter what the cost, I must obtain it. This reason is enough, right?"

After speaking, Lilith didn't continue to look at Klein, but instead shifted her gaze to the window.

She was a little afraid to look directly at Klein. The complex situation of the Alex family in this mission was even more outrageous than her own family.

A father who plots against his own son, a father who kills his daughter's boyfriend, Klein who has been kept in the dark, the injured Mila, all of this made Lilith a little worried.

Shadow Three was no longer trustworthy. Now, Lilith seemed to have returned to the helpless state she once was.

The atmosphere fell silent again.

Klein closed his eyes, he was thinking about a question.

Did his father have other reasons for having Lilith take action?

With his father's abilities, he should know that his relationship with Lilith was unusual. Was it intentional?

Klein looked at Lilith by the window, who was only wearing half of her pajamas, and his heart surged again.

...

After a long silence, just as Lilith's mood was constantly sinking, Klein spoke.

"Well, a good reason! But..."

Just then, Lilith suddenly felt Klein come to her side. Before she could react, he hugged her around the waist.

"Huh? Klein, this guy, is hugging me? And from behind?"

Klein's voice suddenly rang in her ear.

"The reason is good, but I'm not satisfied, so you need to be punished!"

The close voice made Lilith's heart beat faster. Her entire ear turned red, but Lilith's strong personality wouldn't allow her to surrender so easily.

Moreover, in the past, she was always the one who took the initiative with Klein. How could she back down at this time? She turned her head and directly wrapped her arms around Klein's neck, saying.

"Unexpectedly, after not seeing you for a few months, your skills have increased and your courage has grown. Tell me, what kind of punishment do you want?"

Lilith paused a few times when she spoke, and her seductive voice made Klein instantly feel strange!

He was a little puzzled. Clearly, he was the one taking the initiative, so why didn't the other party panic like in the novels? Klein forced himself to say.

"What do you think?"

The atmosphere became ambiguous, coupled with the desire-inducing effect of this villa, making both of their eyes a little dazed.

If it were normal, Klein and Lilith would definitely restrain their desires, but now, the other person is Lilith/Klein!

Looking at Lilith, who was so close, Klein felt a little helpless. The words of mockery, blame, and anger that he had thought of before seemed to be useless.

He always mocked Lance for being a simp, but sometimes he thought that he wasn't much better than Lance.

Lilith was even more surprised. She had thought of many bad outcomes before, but fortunately none of them happened, and Klein's subsequent actions were beyond her understanding.

He actually took the initiative to touch her, was this still Klein?

Lilith put her hand on Klein's chest! Dark battle aura melted Klein's coat, and she said seriously.

"I'm sorry about Mila's matter, there won't be any more in the future, absolutely not, I promise."

"What will you use to guarantee it?"

Lilith suddenly smiled. Men are indeed easier to coax.

"Whatever compensation you want, I'll agree to it."

Hearing Lilith's teasing words, Klein entered a state where his expression seemed calm, but his heart was actually panicking. His eyes were a little evasive!

"We just met, isn't our progress a little too fast?"

Lilith grabbed his neck and leaned closer.

"Klein, I won't date, and I don't want to date. I think we can skip this stage directly."

Klein felt a little scalp tingling, but he really didn't have much experience. He should have asked Eric for advice before coming.

"You said that! Don't regret it later!"

Compared to Klein's entanglement, Lilith was much more frank.

"Love me!"

Klein's face gradually approached. Just when he was still a distance away from Lilith, Lilith suddenly took the initiative to stick to him.

Just like in the academy dormitory, Lilith was always the one who took the initiative between them.

A lingering kiss, a long-awaited reunion.

Perhaps it was the effect of the desire-enhancing in this villa, or perhaps it was because the two of them had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

They no longer cared about the Candle Demon, nor did they consider any missions. At this moment, there was only each other. This time, neither of them restrained themselves.

Lilith hugged Klein tightly and whispered.

"Klein, I should have told you, my corrosiveness is very strong!"

Klein bit Lilith.

"Me, Tier Two Warrior physique."
