Zhou Mingrui, now calmer after solidifying his plan, began exploring Klein's fragmented memories. These memories were incomplete, leaving many key moments missing—like how Klein obtained his revolver or whether he committed suicide or was killed.
As dawn broke, Zhou Mingrui sensed movement in the apartment. Melissa, Klein's sister, was awake. Zhou Mingrui hid the revolver before she entered, casually greeting her. Melissa, though young and pale, was skilled with machinery and had fixed their father's broken pocket watch.
The siblings shared breakfast, with Melissa reminding him to buy bread and mutton. As she left for school, Zhou Mingrui's thoughts drifted to the luck enhancement ritual, hoping it might be his way back home.
