In the afternoon, Brian passed by Miss Bertha's bakery, bought two small, fragrant packets for four pence, and walked home to make dinner.

As for the mission to investigate the casino, it will be entered in the middle of the night when ordinary people have already slept.

Illuminated by the crimson moonlight, a figure approached the wind and twisted open the door to 55 Rose Street. Noel Morris, who had unknowingly grown a beard on his chin, entered the door, took off his top hat and coat, put them on the hanger in the entrance, and said to his brother with a smile:

"Brian, you don't know what's interesting going on today, remember the Allen I talked about yesterday? Guess how he was today? ”

"Oh? What happened to him? Hearing his brother say this, Brian's guess in his heart was already confirmed, but he didn't say it, but picked up today's dinner and put it on the table, very cooperative and made an interested look.

Knoll sat down at the table with great interest and watched the dinner today. Golden family-style meatloaf, fluffy and fluffy wheat bread, and colorful fruit salad. This sumptuous dinner made his already very happy mood rise a little more.

"Alan, the guy who got kicked in the head by a donkey, went to ...... last night" Realizing that he was so excited that he almost said something he shouldn't have said to his brother, Noll paused for a moment to calm down his emotions before continuing:

"Last night, I heard that something was committed, and I was arrested by the inspector and put in prison, and I had to be locked up for several days before I could get out. When the company leaders learned of this, they were very angry, and immediately announced to the secretary and everyone in the company, 'Allen is here'! and Allen's vacated position will be competed with me and two other colleagues. ”

Hearing the unexpected, Brian took a bite of the meatloaf with satisfaction and happiness, and asked curiously, "Then this position, brother, are you sure?"

Knoll waved his hand at this: "This kind of thing doesn't matter, I am very familiar with the other two colleagues, no matter which of us is in the position, it is a good thing, and this time I have won in general."

After venting the melancholy that had been silent in his heart for a long time, Knoll remembered about his brother's interview, and he almost forgot about it because he was so excited.

"Don't talk about me, can you tell me about the interview, do you have any hope of joining the company?"

Brian had been prepared for this, took out the contract that had been signed from his inner bag, and handed it to Knoll.

"I've signed a contract for probationary staff, a large performance troupe, and my job on weekdays is to communicate with other people, and occasionally act as a translator, for £6 a week."

"It's a good job, but it's lacking in growth. Of course, this is already very good for you at the moment, and it's up to you whether you need to change to a more promising job in the future. Nord carefully scanned all the contents of the contract, nodded with satisfaction, and then remembered something and asked: "By the way, you haven't graduated yet, but this contract needs you to spare a little time, can you adjust it?"

Brian smiled confidently, "Of course, I'm the most gifted student in the language department of Zero Academy, and this kind of thing is nothing to me."

"That's good......"

After the family dinner, Brian returned to his bedroom. He was the first to look at the pile of debris in the corner of the room, on the most conspicuous golden oil lamp.

Shaking his head reluctantly, Brian washed up briefly, then turned off the light and went to sleep......

In the dead of night on the street, a tall figure in a black trench coat shuttled through it, and he turned into the corner, entered the Rose Street, and whispered outside the position of number 55:

"I'm as free as a bird."

As the words with special power ended, the tall figure suddenly moved without wind, as if a pair of invisible wings were waving silently.

The next moment, the figure with a face hidden in the darkness lifted off the ground and quietly flew to the window on the second floor of Room 55, and then folded his hands into a fist and chanted: "Mountains and seas cannot be an obstacle between us."

The magical words fell again, and the figure's body instantly became transparent, entering a state somewhere between real and unreal, and thus passed through the locked window.

The figure landed lightly on the ground without making the slightest sound. Then his amber eyes stared down on a small wooden cot in the room, and whispered, "Brian, Brian......"

After repeating this cry a few times, a sleepy Brian gradually opened his eyes and realized that Arnold had come to him according to his daytime skills.

Stretching out his palm, exhausted from lack of sleep, Brian pulled out an old-looking pocket watch from under the soft pillow that his brother Knoll had given him the night of the incident at the Borg's house.

Then he moved, found a place where he could borrow the moonlight, glanced at the time, and complained, "12 o'clock...... I don't think I should have taken that assignment. ”

Looking at Brian, who was still complaining in his mouth, but his body was very honest and got up, Arnold smiled "haha": "After all, it's a 2-pound mission, it can't be so easy, right?"

"What you said is very reasonable, there is no good thing in this world that you can get without work, and you can only get what you want by paying a certain price." As Brian put on his shoes, he placed the pocket watch on his left chest, close to his heart.

Arnold noticed the old but still functioning pocket watch, and couldn't help but say in a very poetic tone: "This pocket watch looks very old, it must have written a lot of stories."

"Yes, it contains a love, and a family affection." Brian straightened his clothes, nodded affirmatively, and then changed the subject to a topic that he was not surprised by, but was very interested in.

"Arnold, how did you get in? I remember my door was locked and my windows were locked. Of course, I don't blame you, after all, it was agreed during the day, and I'm just curious about how you did it. ”

Arnold smiled, not intending to hide anything, because this kind of thing is not secretive, as long as you know his extraordinary profession, you can understand.

"My transcendent profession is called 'Midnight Poet', and my main ability is to make poems have magical powers through transmission, but this requires a certain understanding, and not every line of poetry can achieve extraordinary results."

Brian nodded understandingly, he was ready for everything. Then he walked up to the wall, opened the window, looked down, and said, "Let's go!"

With that, Brian took a deep breath, jumped into the window, and jumped through the window.

If this kind of thing were done in the past, he would never dare to do it, but today, he is sure that his body is very different from before. But Brian didn't know how different it was, and how much it was different, so it was a somewhat dangerous attempt.

His body was pulled by gravity and quickly fell to the ground, and Brian didn't feel any discomfort except for a slight numbness on the soles of his feet.
