After sitting by the window for three minutes, Draenor rubbed his eyes, took out his pocket watch and stared at the hour hand pointing to the direction of "twelve", the sentry mission was completed.

"Report the situation." Dino got up from his chair and walked over to Jett's desk.

"Northwest, no anomalies."

"Southeast, no anomalous ......," Draenor yawned as he continued Jeter's words.

"Hmm...... There's nothing new on my side, nothing unusual in all three directions. We can sort out our documents in peace, and we just have to wait for Stepan to come back from patrolling......"

Before Dino could finish speaking, Draenor suddenly noticed an extra figure at the staircase on the left, the man was sneaky, and he could barely see the other person's face with the help of the dim light.

"Stepan? It's already a patrol point, is there anything else? The captain glanced at Jett's notebook and walked to the stairs to ask.

"Hmm...... Nothing...... I am, something. You see, patrolling a place like this seems a bit dangerous, and the streets are pitch black. Can...... Someone follow me all the way? "Stepan was shivering the whole time, not just because of the cold, but because he was scared out of something.

"Well, then, you go downstairs by the fireplace and find a torch, and you will be a little more courageous on the way. It's back around one o'clock, and we'll take care of the rest. Dino touched his chin and reached out to point downstairs, "If there is any situation, let us know by pager, Narcissus Street is such a big place, we can get there in a few minutes." ”

Stepan subconsciously touched the pager in his pocket, his breathing calmed down a little, he saluted the three of them, turned around and walked downstairs, "Okay, I wish you all the best in your work." Hopefully the night won't be too long......"

It wasn't until he heard the sound of the door locking downstairs that Draenor finally had a chance to ask the captain his question, "That Stepan...... It always feels a little strange, has he always been like this? ”

Dino scratched the back of his head and sat back in his place, his feet tilted back slightly on the edge of the table, "Actually, I've only known him for a short time, and he's been the one from the first time we met... However, listening to the seniors of the guild, the 'Narcissus Street Incident' seems to have left some psychological shadows on him......"

Draenor frowned, symbolically spreading out the working papers on the table, and then continued with the captain's words, "'Narcissus Street incident'?" ”

The captain raised his eyebrows in surprise, while Jett, who was sitting on the sidelines, raised his head and rolled his eyes over the flower board.

"Huh? Have you been in Kerton for so long that you haven't heard what happened two weeks ago? Jett suddenly stood up from the table, pushed his chair away, and looked at Draenor with a puzzled look.

Please, we both came to Kerton at the same time, I've been staying at home before, and I'm sure I'm not as well informed as you...... Draenor looked at Jett for a moment of silence before replying to her, "You didn't mention this to me. ”

Jett's identity has become a bit mysterious since she joined the Knights, even if she can still be seen at home from time to time, but it is only a visit between neighbors, and she does not say anything other than the experience of working in the neighborhood.

"Yes...... You are different now, and there are still many things you need to know as a newcomer......" Jett lowered his head and pondered for a moment, his face suddenly became a little colder, "This is what we were dealing with before. A month ago, at the end of November, an unidentified character appeared on Narcissus Street. He did not have any identification documents, no detailed address, and not even his name. ”

"He was clearly a foreigner, but definitely not from Canaan, dressed like a plague doctor, and often took the inhabitants to the area around Kerton at night for some kind of strange healing activities." Dino picked up his mug and took a sip of the cold black tea, and then Jett's words continued.

Epidemic Doctors...... Hearing the word, Draenor constructed in his mind the image he had seen in picture books, dressed in a black robe, wearing a matte broad-brimmed hat, and most symbolically a mask like a crow's beak, which the plague doctors would fill with various spices, believing that in doing so, they would keep out the filth that filled the air.

"This may seem like a good thing at first, and most of the residents who have been treated by him have miraculously recovered. But terrible things have only recently begun to appear, and among the inhabitants of Narcissus Street there have been cases of bestiality, the Lycos have become werewolves, the Xilin people have become wild beasts, and the poor people who have been tortured to death by disease have become a kind of being on the verge of 'life' and 'death'. ”

"Ghoul ......" Draenor subconsciously came up with that word, he had seen a similar situation with his own eyes: the living were resurrected after death through the action of alchemical potions, becoming zombie-like beings...... And those past experiences tell him that this is not something that can only be seen in horror stories.

"It's a very good word," Dino bowed slightly, turning his chair to face the two, "but this is just an exception, the garrison has not seen the existence of epidemic doctors since the middle of last month. Just a few days after he disappeared, the team stationed at Narcissus Street was raided, and the three members of the team had just finished their patrol and were sitting at a table on the first floor sorting out their papers. Several terrifying monsters rushed into the watchtower, tearing the poor knights to pieces, blood splattering everywhere and staining their faces red like rivers......"

"Only Captain Stepan, who was cooking food on the rooftop, survived, and has been what he is now since he went downstairs to see that horrific scene......" Dino looked at Draenor with indescribable eyes.

In other words, the black filth I saw on the books on the first floor turned out to be blood stains...... The thought made Draenor feel a little nervous, and he swallowed hard to keep his composure.

"Those blood stains can't be washed away...... In desperation, the Knights had to pay for all the floor tiles on the first floor of the watchtower to be replaced with red. That's it...... I can still hear the cries of those unjust souls at one o'clock in the morning......"

Whew-

A gust of wind blew and extinguished the candle at Lenlano's table, and he shuddered, drawing a fire bolt from behind and pointing it at the window.

"Poof...... Hahaha! You won't really believe it, will you!? ”

The two laughed again, and Draenor nervously turned his head before he realized that he had been tricked again.

"Hahaha...... Look at him! I'm almost scared to pee my pants! What do you think? That's a good story, right? Dino wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and it took a long time for him to calm down.

"Ha, that's funny......" Draenor sneered, striking a match to light the candle on the table again.

After coughing a few times, Dino once again showed a serious expression, "Stepan didn't reveal the experience of the Eleventh Echelon to anyone, and most of this story was made up by the two of us. But it is true that Narcissus Street has indeed found a similar presence to the plague doctor. ”

Downstairs there was a sound of the door opening, and it seemed that Stepan had returned. The captain led Jett to the top of the stairs, turned back to Draenor and asked, "It's time for a shift patrol, aren't you going to join us?" ”

"No......" Draenor rubbed his temples, the fear of which seemed to have completely subsided. He pointed to the stacked papers on the table, and said impatiently to the two, "I'm going to stay, someone has to clean them up for you." ”
