Chapter 13 Response (Ask for Recommendation ~ Ask for Collection ~)
The Night Watch is undoubtedly a being on the 'mystical side' of the world in front of you.
And the knowledge and skills that really belong to the night watchman are naturally also 'mysterious'.
For Jason, who has already come into contact with the 'mysterious side', learning similar knowledge and skills is naturally quite tempting.
But immediately, Jason calmed down.
He couldn't just go to 17 Harlan Street.
He has not forgotten who he really is.
He's just an 'alternative heir'.
A person who has inherited the 'identity' of the other person.
Jason knows the convenience that identity can bring.
If he hadn't inherited the name 'Jason' and the profession of 'Postman', he probably wouldn't have survived even a day in the City That Never Sleeps.
Therefore, Jason did not resist the identity of the 'night watchman'.
But unlike inheriting the identity of 'Jason', when he inherited the identity of 'Jason', he inherited a part of his memories, but when he inherited the identity of 'Night Watch', he didn't have any relevant memories at all, not even the simplest, which put him in a dilemma.
He had to be more cautious.
It's like this moment.
Unlike the sheriff and other people who have just come into contact, the teacher of his identity must be extremely familiar with 'him'.
To put it simply, he will reveal a flaw if he is slightly different.
And he who has no memory will inevitably show flaws.
"How can I get my teachers to accept my changes?"
"And ......"
"Did he, the retired 'Night' Watchman, really come to Lord with nothing to do?"
Jason's gaze wandered over the letter.
Then, shaking his head slightly.
Other retirees, perhaps, will have nothing to do.
But, the night watchman won't!
The night watchman on the 'mystery side', Jason has a hard time believing that there is such a thing as retirement.
After all, who could have predicted what would happen on the 'mysterious side'.
Or simply put, you have no idea what monsters you're going to encounter in the next moment.
Therefore, even if you are 'retired', you should let yourself stay in a familiar and 'cleaned' place, rather than going to an unfamiliar place, which will only increase the chance of encountering the 'mysterious side' events.
Unless......
The other party intended to come to Lord.
Almost subconsciously, Jason thought about the successive attacks he had encountered.
"Does the other party have anything to do with this?"
Jason guessed, his eyes flickering, and suddenly, he thought of a stupid idea.
Raid!
He was attacked unexpectedly!
And not just what everyone sees!
But in the shadows, not known to ordinary people!
Every now and then there would be whispers and whispers in my ears, which filled me with irritation, anger, and madness, so much so that my personality changed slightly, and even my memory began to cripple, and I could only remember myself as a 'night watchman'......
After a moment's deliberation, he folded the letter again, put it back in the rattan box, and got up and walked outside.
Of course, not to 17 Harlan Street.
Even if there was a reasonable argument, he would not go directly to the teacher, that would be too reckless.
And ignore the other side?
More unlikely!
The student came to the teacher's place, but avoided it, no matter how you look at it, it is boring, under such a premise, the teacher is very likely to take the initiative to find him.
This is a passive situation that Jason definitely does not want.
So, he needed a messenger.
Who better fit than Finch as a police officer?
……
The corridor of the police dormitory is not wide, at most two people shoulder to shoulder, the rooms on both sides are basically messy except for the one where Jason lives, even if the door is locked, you can smell the heavy smell of smoke, this floor where Jason is located is a single room where single police detectives live, for the convenience of work, almost all single police detectives combine their residence and office to form a single dormitory in front of them, while the young police officers live on the lower floor, four people in a room.
Finch was downstairs in his dorm.
According to the room number that Finch had told him at the time of the previous separation, Jason knocked on the door of 202.
Knock, knock!
"I'm Jason."
Jason reported his home.
"Lord Jason, please come in."
Because of the attack, Finch, who was deliberately left by Bundy to rest, immediately opened the door, and the young man was dressed in civilian clothes, looking at Jason outside the door, with a sunny smile on his face.
"Is there anything wrong with you?"
Because of the grace of saving his life, Finch used an honorific title for Jason.
Jason handed the 2 copper horns that had been prepared to the other party.
This is the money to buy mushrooms and newspapers.
"No, it's just 2 copper horns ......"
The young man waved his hand repeatedly, but Jason had no intention of taking the money back.
"If you say that you borrowed it, you will naturally have to pay it back."
Jason said seriously.
Not a deliberate disguise, but a real idea.
He didn't want to owe someone something for no reason, whether it was money or favors, let alone something that had been agreed in advance.
Faced with such rhetoric, young people can only choose to accept it.
"Can Finch do me a favor?"
Jason continued.
"Of course, Your Excellency."
"What's the matter with you?"
Finch immediately nodded and asked.
"I need you to bring a message to a man named Dan at 17 Harlan Street."
"You told him I had some trouble, not on the surface, but on a deeper level, and therefore couldn't go to see him."
As Jason spoke, he keenly saw the worry flashing on the young man's face in front of him.
Undoubtedly, the young man is kind, and the other party is worried about himself, for which Jason first said sorry in his heart, and then continued:
"It's fine."
"This trouble is still within my control."
"And I already have a solution, right in this message."
As he spoke, Jason smiled a confident smile at the young man.
"Is that Lord Dan?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, and immediately guessed.
"Yes."
"He's my teacher."
Jason didn't deny it and named Dan by name.
Suddenly, the young man was relieved that in Fincher's opinion, Jason was a very reliable person, not to mention the other party's teacher, and he must be a more powerful and reliable 'night watchman'.
"I'll go right away."
So saying, the young man walked out.
Jason watched as the other man left.
He believed that the young man would tell his teacher everything.
And then?
It's up to him to deal with it on the spot.
Maybe he should give himself a hard time, make himself look a little more miserable and more convincing.
But right away, Jason gave up on such an idea.
He wasn't sure if his 'teacher' would be able to see it, and if he did, it would be self-defeating.
Is there any foolproof solution?
With this in mind, Jason was about to return to his room, and at that moment, the door of the room was pushed open.
