Of course, although he felt the possibility was high, Lin Ruo wouldn't immediately dismiss other possibilities.

After all, other possibilities existed, and it was better not to jump to conclusions before obtaining sufficient evidence.

However…

" Medici… " Lin Ruo exhaled softly. After understanding so much, he felt he should see Medici again, the former Angel of War, his close friend in his memories.

The other party's presence was too strong, so strong that Lin Ruo couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to.

Moreover, now that it was confirmed that he and Medici were partners and close friends, the other party was probably one of the people in this world who understood him best.

However… Thinking of his last meeting with Medici, and the adverse effects brought about by the recent memory recovery, Lin Ruo felt he should take it slow.

He didn't want to stimulate his memory recovery again in the short term.

Also, persecuting Klein too much in the short term wasn't a good idea, as it could make him numb and resistant.

He should wait a little longer…

As Lin Ruo thought this, he saw Klein across from him suddenly looking at him suspiciously and asked:

"Are you thinking of persecuting me again?"

"No, you're overthinking it." Lin Ruo shook his head without changing his expression, then took out a black glove from his pocket and changed the subject, "Instead of that, why don't we talk about this glove…"

I suspect you are changing the subject and have evidence… Klein sounded the alarm in his heart, but his gaze was inevitably attracted by the black glove in Lin Ruo's hand.

Lin Ruo then said leisurely, "Given your brave act of reciting your dark history to help me stabilize my humanity, I've decided to change my mind and give the Creeping Hunger as your graduation gift for the third stage. How about it, Klein? Happy?"

Because of Lin Ruo's description, Klein inevitably recalled the embarrassing scene just now, and he almost exploded. However, after hearing Lin Ruo's words, it would be a lie to say that Klein wasn't happy at all.

This state of embarrassment and joy surging together resulted in Klein's expression being quite wonderful for a moment.

To prevent Klein from exploding further, Lin Ruo pretended not to see Klein's wonderful expression and introduced the functions and negative characteristics of "Creeping Hunger", and finally said: "…There are now five souls pastured in the Creeping Hunger, namely "Psychiatrist", "Interrogator", "Nightmare", "Priest of Light" and "Faceless."

Klein's eyes lit up.

Although he was initially repulsed by using Beyonder characteristics to concoct potions, after the second stage of special training, Klein, who had deeply understood the cruelty of the Beyonder realm, was now able to accept using Beyonder materials to concoct potions.

For him, the fact that one of the souls pastured in "Creeping Hunger" was a Faceless meant that even if he couldn't find the main ingredient for the Faceless potion next, he could use the Faceless characteristic in the "Creeping Hunger" glove to advance, so he wouldn't be stuck.

This was undoubtedly good news.

"Here!"

At this moment, Lin Ruo suddenly made a move that was beyond Klein's expectations, which was to directly throw the "Creeping Hunger" in his hand to him.

Klein quickly caught the black glove, then looked at Lin Ruo in confusion.

"It's for you to use… With your current spirituality, you should barely be able to use it, but let me make it clear first, before the third stage ends and the Creeping Hunger officially becomes my reward to you, the ownership of this thing is still in my hands. If you lose it or damage it, you will obediently pay for it. Don't worry, I'll just charge you a friendship price, 10,000 pounds."

Lin Ruo said casually, not really caring. After all, the "Creeping Hunger" was originally prepared for Klein. Now he was just giving it to him in advance. Considering the various demons and ghosts lurking in Backlund, it was not a bad thing for Lin Ruo to let Klein, this low-attack and low-defense glass cannon, have some combat power in advance.

He thought of something else and said, "By the way, the Creeping Hunger has a certain degree of activity. It was scared to death by the Angel status I showed before. You can sacrifice it to the gray fog later to see if you can knock it down and further weaken its negative effects… The Cowardly Trio are quite good at taming Beyonder items with activity, you can also try it."

"What is the Cowardly Trio?" Lin Ruo's words had too many flaws, and Klein could only subconsciously ask the most flawed question.

As for Lin Ruo wanting to lend him the "Creeping Hunger", Klein didn't intend to refuse. After all, the "Creeping Hunger" was indeed a very useful Beyonder item, and for Klein, this Beyonder item could undoubtedly make up for his lack of attack power. For Klein, who was currently investigating the great conspiracy lurking in Backlund, he needed such a powerful Beyonder item to strengthen himself and guard against accidents.

Just owing like this, I don't know when I can pay it back… And Lin Ruo doesn't seem to be interested in ordinary things, well, Lin Ruo likes knowledge, maybe I can start from this aspect?

Although he chose to accept the "Creeping Hunger", Klein, who was by no means the kind of person who would take other people's gifts for granted, almost subconsciously began to think about how to repay these favors in the future.

Lin Ruo didn't know what Klein was thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much. He smiled and explained: "The Cowardly Trio refers to the Seer, the Marauder, and the Apprentice, these three pathways that can be exchanged, and the abilities of these three pathways are very sneaky, making them difficult to kill, so I generally call them the Cowardly Trio."

Klein's expression became strange, but when he thought of what he had learned during the previous special training about the Beyonder abilities related to the Seer, the Thief, and the Apprentice pathways, he had to admit that what Lin Ruo said made sense.

The abilities of these three pathways are indeed very sneaky.

"Okay, you can slowly study the Creeping Hunger, I'm going back to rest first. But remember to be careful, if anything is wrong, remember to send it to the gray fog to suppress it immediately, I don't want to find out that you were eaten by the Creeping Hunger when I come back, I would laugh to death." Lin Ruo yawned and then instructed.

"How could I make such a mistake." Klein didn't want to say anything, but looking at the black glove in his hand, thinking of what Lin Ruo had just said about the negative effects of the Creeping Hunger after it was sealed, he decided to send the Creeping Hunger to the gray fog for research later.

It's not being cowardly, it's just being cautious, that's right!

Lin Ruo waved his hand, then used the ability of Travel to return to the office, ready to rest for a while.

As for hunting the rat demigod, let's talk about it tomorrow!
