"Can you understand me?"

Lyndon asked tentatively.

There was no reply.

The ferocious spirit, which no longer struggled, seemed to be demented, its cracked head dislocated from top to bottom, tilted on the wrong side.

With a sigh, Lyndon didn't bother to try any further.

As can be seen from its aggressiveness, it is much more special than other spirits.

At least

No other spirit will have a stench, let alone rotten skin like it.

When the spirits are about to perish, they become more and more illusory, until they are completely invisible.

The vicious spirits only exacerbated the decay, but showed no signs of dissipating.

Linden thoughtfully straightened its head, and it was a real flesh sensation that touched his hand.

merely

It's too cold.

"If only you could communicate, then maybe I'll find a way to take you with me."

The black mist began to slowly devour the vicious spirit, and the next time you entered the Black Dream Space, you would not see it again.

In the last moments of fading, Lyndon could not read any emotion on its face.

Like,

Like a puppeteer who is ravaged by others.

After it was completely gone, Lyndon casually sent away the black mist.

This was his first attempt to use the Black Dream ability to destroy spirits, and he had only experimented with rats before.

According to Lyndon's own wishes, he was able to wipe out anything he didn't want to be left behind with the black mist.

Rao has some experience, and this attempt also exhausted him.

Manipulating the black mist to fix the vicious spirit body requires several times more energy than building tables and chairs.

Mr. Lyndon estimates that it could take several days to adjust to his optimum condition.

There was a brief spatial distortion in the real world, and Lyndon's figure gradually emerged from virtual to real.

Powerlessness came at him like a tidal wave, and just as Lyndon was about to shake and fall, a hard object helped him steady himself.

Jana built a simple handrail for him with iron plates and steel bars, and with the help of the handrail, he gasped for breath and regained his strength.

"Are you alright?"

On a shelf not far away, a small head poked out a little, leaving only the part above the eyes to look at him.

It's hard to imagine,

Such a cowardly spirit actually tried to kill himself last night.

And she also made a lot of contributions today, without Jiana, Lyndon may have to pay a greater price to get out of danger.

He returned a warm smile.

I just don't know if Jia Na can see clearly in the dark environment.

"Did you see where the back door of the warehouse was?"

The slender arm was raised, pointing to a position behind Linden.

"Thank you. Help me get my briefcase back, and we're ready to move on. ”

"You...... It seems to be very weak. ”

"Out of the way."

Without the influence of the supernatural, the movement was much smoother, and the brightness of the room was improved.

Coupled with the fact that Lyndon is always awake at night, his adaptability to the dark is far beyond that of ordinary people.

Having a vision range of three or four meters is enough for him to move.

After some tidying up, Lyndon picked up his briefcase and found his way through the darkness to the back door of the warehouse.

Maybe I should thank that vicious spirit, without which he fought with Jiana, I am afraid that the back door would not be found until now.

In the process of fighting, all the shelves in the warehouse were disrupted, revealing the back door of the warehouse hidden behind a large pile of iron plates.

With a flick, Lyndon ripped off the rusty chains.

He pushed open the door and walked out, where there was a spot outside for the ship to moor.

The moonlight shone on the surface of the sea, and there were bursts of waves.

A simple wooden boat, quietly docked on the shore.

A majestic-looking man in black, almost larger than a ship, sat straight at the bow with his hands folded around his chest.

Is this really not going to flip?

When Lyndon saw this scene, he couldn't help but have this doubt.

He paced close to the side of the boat, a man who was nearly as tall as him when he was sitting.

The man with a rough beard has the appearance of about forty years old, and the dark circles under his eyes are very obvious.

now

The man was staring straight ahead with angry eyes.

Lyndon cleared his throat:

"Hello, I'm looking for Antar."

There was no answer.

The man made a strange noise, and Lyndon found that

He seems to be asleep?

This strange sound is clearly snoring!

Open your eyes and sleep, so familiar skills, I think this is also a fierce man!

Speechless for a while, Lyndon had to raise his voice and repeat the words again:

"Hello! I'm looking for Antar! ”

"Huh? Yes? I'm here! ”

Antar was woken up in a bit of a hurry and almost capsized under the boat.

He looked at Lyndon after steading himself, his face stunned, his thick eyebrows and big eyes squeezed together, and said:

"You're Linden? Well? What time is it, how did you slip out on your own. ”

Ignoring his gibberish, Lyndon stepped lightly onto the wooden boat and sat across from Antar.

"Are you really a night watchman?"

"Of course, who but us night watchmen will come to the old docks at this time? If you don't want to live, you don't have to choose this method. ”

Antar scratched his curly hair and yawned,

"But I really didn't expect you to come out of the warehouse on your own...... Oh, and you can't say you're completely on your own.

Originally, I planned to go in and get you a hand after hearing your cry for help, so that the purpose of my calling for you could be achieved.

Mr. Linden, you were really surprised by me. ”

"Then why are you sleeping?"

Ignoring the question, Antar leaned forward and approached Linden, his face suddenly gloomy:

"So, can you surprise me more?

I'm really curious about who gave you the courage.

Ignoring the Vigil and even threatening us, no one in the whole of Loft has ever done that.

You're not afraid ......."

Antar's eyes widened angrily, and he said coldly,

"I'll kill you?"

Bang –

The sound of gunfire pierced the long night sharply!

Silver bullets rushed past Antar's side!

A small and delicate revolver appeared in Lyndon's hand.

He raised his left hand with his gun and moved his deliberately deviated crosshair to Antar.

This was prepared to guard against the gangsters, and Lyndon had been hiding it in a holster on the side of his boot.

"You can guess if the next bullet will have a bye."

"It's kind of interesting."

Antar raised his hands and grinned,

"But you can't get out of the warehouse with this thing......

Do you have that little girl to help? It's Dr. Kennedy's house. ”

Jana Kennedy?

Lyndon first learned of Jana's full name, and he nodded:

"Go on."

"Okay, okay, I'll just take your acquiescence, you should have some connection with Dr. Kennedy, or you wouldn't have broken into his clinic in the middle of the night, which is one of the places we focus on monitoring.

He made a deal with our Night's Watch in exchange for his long-term service to find someone who deserves to join us—the Enchanter.

He is a great father and I admire him and is willing to do anything for his daughter. And the ability is not bad, and he got a lot of effective information before he knew us.

If possible, I do hope that he will be able to join the Night's Watch. ”

"What deal did he make with you?"

"You've seen him, you should know his condition...... In short, not very good.

But you would never have guessed that it wasn't Dr. Kennedy who was approached by those guys. In other words, he actively chose to enter the demon. ”

Lyndon heard him say this, and had a vague guess.

He subconsciously clenched his right hand that was clutching the briefcase.

"Yes, you guessed it."

Antar pointed to the briefcase and said slowly:

"Jana Kennedy, who entered the devil in the winter of 1406 A.D.

As part of the deal, the Night's Watch will protect her unconditionally.

Until—

She has a bright future. ”

Jana peeked out through the zipper gap in her briefcase, looking at Lyndon in confusion.

Linden lowered his head, meeting her gaze.

"So, it's true that you made her like this."

He inserted the revolver back into the holster on his boot.

"Not exactly!

By the time we found out about the situation, it was too late, and we had to keep her that way.

You've probably seen it, and the demons will disappear eventually. In fact, they did not disappear out of thin air, but were dragged into another world. ”

"Another world?"

"Yes, all the weird things you see are from another world."

Antar shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands,

"Anyway, you've been through it, and you want us to talk to the Night's Watch, so I might as well tell you something, lest you die an unknown death.

The world we live in does not exist alone, there is another world that ordinary people cannot see, colliding with our world.

That world, we call it the edge world, and the things that break through the edge world are named demon spirits by us.

Why they came to us is still a mystery.

But

Their purpose is quite clear. They pick and choose their targets, and then take the souls of the victims to the periphery.

The reason why the demon enters the demon can hear whispers all the time before he dies is actually a sign that the demon spirit is about to hunt down.

The Night's Watch is to protect the city of Loft from demons. The city is at the point of collision, so the hunt for demons is more frequent, and the night is the peak of the day. ”

"That is, it is possible to be attacked during the day?"

"Of course, as long as you're serious enough, anything strange can happen. We ask residents not to go out after dark, just to prevent the recurrence of mass hunting at night.

As you can see, the fact that the old dock has become so deserted is the result of a vicious violation. ”

Lyndon raised his head, thought for a moment, and then lowered his head, looked at Antar, and asked:

"Since the demons are from the fringe worlds, why did Jana become like them?"

"This involves some confidential information that I cannot disclose to you. But I can tell you that she's not technically a demon, but a helper trained by the Night's Watch, with growth and a real life.

At this stage, she can already complete some simple protection instructions, right? ”

"Since there is life, don't describe her like a tool."

"Good, good, no problem. I hope you will take good care of Dr. Kennedy for her. ”

Lyndon recalls the experience of the previous night when he entered the clinic and Jana attacked him.

So, as she herself said, she unconsciously wanted to protect it.

And in the face of demons, she will also take the initiative to protect herself.

The factual situation is in line with Antar's interpretation.

If she really has growth, then she is undoubtedly an extra security.

"You said before that there was a reason why you asked me to meet at the old docks, tell me about it."

He posed the next question to Antar.

"Quite simply, after you offer to talk, the organization judges you that it's worth soliciting. So I came up with a way to make you a night watchman in return if you were in danger.

Who knew you didn't have anything to do! ”

Antar graciously admitted his plan.

This kind of black hand behavior, Lyndon is not surprised, it is indeed a very efficient method.

But......

He smiled slightly and said:

"Then why are you asleep?"

“…… It's all part of the plan.

Anyway, the results are all good, you don't have an accident, and the two of us can meet successfully. Once you've joined the Night's Watch, we'll help you get everything you need, as long as it's within reason—

Including those things that you want to know, but can't say right now.

What do you think? Is there a deal? ”

"No deal."

"Huh?"

"I just want to know how I can get rid of the demons in your mouth so that they don't interfere with my life. Saving Loft City has nothing to do with me. ”

"But that's not possible."

Antar sighed.

Lyndon's brows furrowed, and he was a little puzzled by his sudden heavy tone, and asked:

"What do you mean?"

"There are only two endings for the prey they target......

Either

Give up resistance and go to death......

Either

Learn how to let them die. ”
