A girl who likes to wear white skirts, always has a smile on her face, and is willing to give 'him' extra pocket money.
That's right, it's a girl.
Although she was called his aunt, Krista Wayne was only five years older than him. She was the child of his grandfather’s third wife. However, it was a pity that like his grandfather’s second wife, both died young.
.
The only difference is that the other person is lucky enough to have a child.
My grandfather's second wife was the most pitiful. After marrying my grandfather, she had no children and endured the cynicism of his mother and aunts every day. She died in depression in less than two years.
The memories that popped up in his mind made Goethe slightly stunned.
Then, he looked at the security director in front of him.
"What happened to my aunt?"
he asked.
"Please come with me and we will talk in detail after we return to the room."
The security supervisor bowed slightly and whispered.
The other party's words and solemn expression on his face made Goethe suspicious.
He nodded, followed the other party, and returned to 801.
"Would you like some coffee?"
the other party asked.
"Let's have some tea."
Goethe answered.
The other party immediately took action. After the hotel attendant put a cup of tea and a plate of snacks on the table and exited the room, the security director took out three pieces of paper from his arms.
Or, to be more precise, an IOU.
Three IOUs signed by his aunt Krista Wayne.
One is 100 gold grams, one is 150 gold grams, and one is 200 gold grams.
The mortgages are the Wayne family's residence at No. 1 Guta Street and their only business, the Wayne Brewery, a small winery that can be considered the most important source of income for the Wayne family.
Suddenly, Goethe frowned.
Whether it is the only residence or the only property, the importance to the Wayne family is self-evident.
According to his memory, as long as 'his' aunt wasn't crazy, she would never do this.
"what happened?"
Goethe believed that since the security director in front of him had taken out the IOU, he must have a corresponding answer, just as he believed that the other party would not use the IOU to deceive him.
"Your aunt was seen on 'Elm Street.'"
"And 'Elm Street' is the gathering place for people with 'supernatural powers' in Luster."
The other party answered in detail.
Goethe was stunned.
Although Goethe had made some guesses before, he was still surprised at this time.
Because, in his previous guesses, there was no such thing as 'his' aunt having come into contact with 'extraordinary power'.
Isn't it me?
Was it the 'aunt' who attracted the 'Mist Killer'?
After frowning and thinking for a few seconds, Goethe continued to ask.
"What else?"
"There's only so much left now."
"Although our boss has a wide network of contacts in Luster, the ability to find these in just a few hours is the limit - of course, as a promise, we will continue to pursue it."
When the security director mentioned his boss, he looked respectful.
Goethe understood this.
Being able to find this out in just a few hours is enough to show how extraordinary the owner of the Pine Nut Hotel is.
"I will bear these debts."
Goethe pointed to the IOU.
Although I don’t know what ‘his’ aunt did, the debt owed is real.
Now that you have become a ‘Goethe’ and enjoy the conveniences brought by the status of ‘Goethe’, you must naturally assume corresponding obligations.
He won't cheat on this kind of thing.
What's more, the person holding the IOU now is the seemingly extraordinary owner of the Songzi Hotel.
Goethe did not want the other party to stand against him.
"Master Goethe, you are far more responsible than I thought."
The security director praised.
"Can you tell me about 'Elm Street'?"
Although the other party promised to continue the investigation, Goethe still became curious about "Elm Street".
"'Elm Street'?"
"It doesn't have a long history, about twenty years or so. It was originally a 'drug shop' and the owner was Mr. Freddy."
"But as time goes by, even Mr. Freddy must have never thought that the drug store 'Nightmare Night' would develop into the largest gathering place for extraordinary people in Luster: 'Elm Street'."
"And Mr. Freddy has become one of the richest people in Luster."
"At the same time, in March this year, it became an officially recognized gathering place."
The security director spoke of the history of 'Elm Street' with considerable surprise on his face.
Especially when it comes to ‘official approval’.
Similarly, Goethe also had a strong interest in this.
"Officially recognized?"
Goethe asked.
"Well, in June last year, the Kingdom passed the "Supernormal Legalization" bill. As long as you have not committed a crime and recognize the rule of the Kingdom, you can obtain a legalized status."
"People like Mr. Freddy were among the first batch to apply."
"So far, many cities throughout the kingdom have such semi-official gathering places for extraordinary people."
"but……"
"There are still many people who think they have lost their 'freedom.'"
The security director explained.
"Is that so?"
Goethe whispered to himself softly, his eyes twinkling slightly.
Although it was only Legry's account, Goethe could already imagine what kind of overt and covert struggles this bill went through from drafting to implementation. It must have been bloody.
It's not even over yet.
And later, the security director's words proved this point.
"Although 'Elm Street' is semi-official, it is not absolutely safe inside. Master Goethe, if you want to enter 'Elm Street' you'd better find someone to introduce you to it. This can avoid unnecessary trouble."
"Of course, our boss is happy to be such an introducer."
As the other party spoke, he looked at Goethe.
“Thank you very much.”
"Do I have to give anything?"
Goethe immediately agreed.
Although he should be able to obtain corresponding safety as a 'trainee' secret keeper, if he wanted to know more about his aunt, it was best to take other ways.
"Of course not, this can be considered compensation."
"The 'Elm Street' location is on Elm Street."
"At the entrance is the 'Nightmare Drug Store'."
"It will be open every Friday and Saturday."
"If you want to go, Master Goethe, our boss will also go there on Friday, and you can go with us then."
the security director said.
"good."
Goethe naturally had nothing against it.
"Then I'll take my leave first."
"I wish you a good night's sleep."
With that said, the other party put away the IOU and bowed to leave.
Looking at the closed door, Goethe's eyes narrowed slightly.
There is no doubt that the owner of the Songzi Hotel is too attentive.
Even the so-called compensation exceeds the limit.
"Is the other party planning something?"
"Is there any secret behind the events that happened at the Wayne family?"
Goethe thought.
Apart from this, Goethe could not think of anything else.
As for the secret keeper?
If it was Morey, it would be normal for the other party to do this.
But Goethe?
It's not that he belittles himself, but that he is a "trainee" secret keeper and really doesn't deserve what the other party does.
After all, talent is unknown.
Rubbing his temples, Goethe continued to think while walking into the bathroom. After washing himself, he lay down on the comfortable and soft big bed.
The big bed, which was different from the chairs, floors, and sleeping bags in the police station, made Goethe close his eyes in comfort.
Almost instantly, Goethe entered a dream.
Then--
He stood on Guta Street in a daze.
Unconsciously, he walked in the direction of 'home'.
Then he saw his aunt.
His aunt was just like in the memory, wearing a white dress, standing in front of the old house, with a friendly smile, waving to him.
"Goethe, Goethe, come quickly!"
"Let's go home!"
As he said this, he raised his hand and grasped it towards Goethe.
