"Did you seem to have something left unsaid earlier?"
After the preliminary investigation ended and they began screening suspects,
Klein, who was preparing to head home with Xu Yue before hiding in the washroom to divine above the Gray Fog, could not help but ask.
"I thought you'd keep holding it in and never ask."
Xu Yue glanced at Klein. The reason he had struck that pose was precisely to remind him.

Klein revealed an expression of horror, mixed with a trace of inner conflict.
