Chapter 149: Video
Next, the video showed Klein's diary entry. Perhaps Klein found what happened that day interesting, so he recorded it.
"I thought it would be something useful," Peter said, not expecting Klein to be a teacher who enjoyed documenting his life.
"Mhm." Silas turned off the computer. As soon as he stepped out of the bedroom, he stepped on glass shards. He lifted his foot to look.
"Peter, come look at this." Silas crouched down and picked up a smashed photo frame from the floor. He took the photo out of the frame, wiped away the fine dust particles, and saw a picture of Klein with an elderly woman. Klein in the photo was smiling, clearly very happy, and the elderly woman looked at Klein with doting affection.
"This must be Teacher Klein's mother, right?" Peter took the photo from Silas. He recalled Klein mentioning that the organization had captured his mother, which led to his current situation.
"It looks like it." Silas stood up. He had a premonition that Klein had left them clues.
"What should we do now?" Peter asked.
"Let's look around. I think Klein must have left some clues, and we just haven't found them yet." Silas looked around and summoned the Black Shadow Corps, believing that there is strength in numbers.
Peter nodded, looked towards the kitchen, and said, "Then I'll check the kitchen."
"Okay, I'll leave the rest of the place to me and the Black Shadow Corps." Silas wasted no time and began searching the house.
Peter went straight into the kitchen, opened the cabinets on the wall, and started searching.
"Cool~ there's a game console here." Peter took out a game console. Wait! This is the kitchen. How could a game console be here?!
Peter felt like he might have found a clue and quickly shouted, "Silas! I found an important clue."
"What clue?" Silas suddenly emerged from Peter's shadow.
"Whoa!" Peter patted his chest and said, "Silas, you scared me."
"Don't change the subject. What did you just say?" Silas said testily.
Peter quickly took out the game console. "Look, I found a game console in the kitchen cabinet."
"A game console?" Silas took the device with confusion and looked at it carefully, finding nothing special about it.
"Little Black, I'm handing the game console over to you." Silas tossed it casually. Little Black immediately appeared next to Silas and caught the game console.
"Yes, Master." After Little Black spoke, it retreated into the Shadow Realm.
"Silas, I feel like this could be a very important clue." Peter suddenly felt he had the potential to be a detective.
"Wait for the results. I'm going back to where I was to continue searching." Silas disappeared.
"Alright, then let me continue the search." Peter had just found a game console that might be a clue, and now he felt full of energy, making the search much more efficient.
Shadow Realm
"Alpha, check this game console." Little Black placed the game console on the scanner.
"Scanning... Scan complete. Nintendo game console..." Alpha quickly analyzed the information.
"So, overall..." Little Black felt slightly speechless.
Alpha said, "That's right. Overall, this is just an ordinary game console."
"Okay." Little Black picked up the game console and went to Silas.
Bedroom
Silas opened the closet, which contained several shirts. His eyes scanned the shirts and stopped at a red plaid one. Silas reached out and took a small note from the pocket of the shirt. He was about to unfold it and look.
Little Black came to his side and said, "Master, the check is complete. It's just an ordinary game console."
"Mhm." Silas had expected this. When he looked at it, it was just a normal game console with nothing special.
"What about this?" Little Black asked, holding up the game console.
"Keep it. We can play with it sometime." Silas said, then ignored Little Black and unfolded the note in his hand.
The note read: I hope someone sees this note. My name is Klein. I was originally a normal teacher at Midtown High, but due to an unexpected lab accident, I gained monstrous abilities and a monstrous appearance.
There is a secret compartment under my bed. Open it, and inside you will find a memory card that contains the details of my monster experiment.
Of course, to prevent anyone from following me down this dark path, I have not left any experimental formulas or materials. They have all been destroyed.
I left this note only in the hope that someone will still remember me, and I hope you can take care of my elderly mother. There is also a bank card in the secret compartment.
It contains $150,000, which is a thank-you gift for caring for my mother. To be honest, Mother is already old and won't live for much longer. I only hope a kind person can take care of her and let her spend her last few years happily in this world. The card password is: 3546.
Silas finished reading the note. It contained no clues about Klein's current whereabouts. Silas guessed that this was a note Klein left when he first turned into a monster and was in a state of extreme panic.
"What a shame. I thought it was a clue," Silas said, stuffing the note back into the red plaid shirt pocket.
Closing the closet, Silas went to the bedside. A Black Shadow Ninja immediately lifted the bed. Another one lay down and started knocking on the floor. Dong dong dong!
A hollow sound soon echoed. The Black Shadow Ninja quickly took out a shuriken and forcefully tapped the floor. The wooden board immediately caved in. The Black Shadow Ninja reached into the hole and pulled out a thumb-sized memory card and a bank card.
"Silas, how are things on your side?" Peter came into the bedroom. In the kitchen, apart from the game console he initially found, he found nothing else.
"What are those? Clues?" Peter asked, slightly excited.
"No." Silas shook his head, then told Peter about the previous events, including the fact that the game console was just an ordinary item.
"So that's what happened." Peter realized he had gotten excited over nothing.
Silas casually placed the bank card on the bed. With a thought, a Black Shadow Ninja pulled Peter into the Shadow Realm, and Silas followed closely behind.
In the Shadow Realm
"What's going on, Silas? Why did you suddenly have a Black Shadow Ninja pull me in?" Peter asked, confused.
Silas handed the memory card to Little Black. Little Black inserted it into the console, and a light screen appeared in mid-air. A person's face appeared on the screen—it was Klein.
"Let's see what Klein recorded on the memory card," Silas smiled. Anyway, the Black Shadow Corps was still busy outside.
"A video left by the teacher?" Peter became interested again, hoping it wouldn't be another diary entry.
On the Screen
Klein was adjusting the camera. After straightening the lens, he tidied his clothes and said:
"My name is Klein. I want to protect my students. Although the intention is good, my power is simply too small when facing the flying Green Goblin and the Lizard."
"Fortunately, the Lizard is my high school classmate. I feel like I'm seeing hope again!"
