The heavy head slipped from the palm of the hand it was holding up.

When he was about to touch the office desktop, the owner of the quilt quickly lifted it.

Lyndon wakes up from a nightmare.

On the table was a cup of cold coffee, a locked notebook, and a few sheets of white paper full of words.

There was also a cake dessert.

This should have been taken out of the fridge by Jana for herself,

She seemed to be keen on these kinds of food, and Lyndon bought her a lot of them to keep in the office refrigerator.

Even though Jana doesn't need to eat to stay alive, that doesn't stop her from liking.

Her presence is very special, and since returning to the office, it is almost impossible to see where she is hiding during the day.

The office itself is a three-storey rental bungalow, and the office is converted from a vestibule on the first floor.

In such a large room, Jana can ignore the walls and float around,

It couldn't have been easier for her to hide.

Occasionally, when I met her, it was also Jiana quietly huddled in the corner of the kitchen eating dessert.

But that's fine, Lyndon doesn't have to bother figuring out how to feed her.

And another significant advantage is that with Jana present, the whispering and harassment after dark are obviously much weaker.

Lyndon tried a normal routine a few times for the first time in a long time.

Today, a full week has passed since the night visit to the old wharf on East Street.

then

He refused to join the Night's Watch,

Antar didn't force him either, just said:

"If you change your mind at any time, remember that the vigil is always open for you."

and

Linden pulled out the desk drawer, and a delicate silver dagger lay quietly inside.

The surface of the scabbard was engraved with intricate words that he couldn't understand.

"The next time you encounter demon spirits, kill them with this special dagger, Jana's power is limited, you can't rely on her all the time.

Oh yes, if you're fine, it's better not to pull it out. ”

Antar left this passage and left.

Lyndon picked up the dagger and placed it on the table in front of him.

Can this dagger really kill demons?

If it is really as Antar said, then he has help outside the Black Dream Space.

Moreover, there are legitimate reasons to use the weapons of the Night's Watch.

In case Jana is not by her side one day, she destroys the demon spirit herself, which is also a strong reason.

For the time being, he didn't want anyone other than Jia Na to know about the existence of Black Dream.

"Help me get today's paper, thank you."

The boy who delivered the newspaper would deliver the journal to the door of the office every morning.

Lyndon didn't bother to move himself, so he called Jana to help him do it.

That's probably one of her clever ways.

The antechamber door opened, and a newspaper floated towards him.

He lifted Erlang's legs, leaned back in his chair and began to read.

The opening part of the newspaper was always entertainment news about Loft City, which he had no interest in understanding at all, so he quickly flipped to the middle of the paper.

[Yesterday, the health administrator of the East Block left his house at 2 a.m. for violating the Vigil Ordinance and is now missing.

If you have any information, please go to the East Street Public Security Station for feedback. 】

Lyndon knew this guy because he was the one who took over his job.

Old Jack, an old widower who lost his son in his old age, seems to have asked for his resignation in a joint letter, and it was Old Jack who took the lead in writing.

originally

The news could not yet arouse his interest.

Until he glanced down at randomly.

[It is reported that he was last seen on Third Street in the East Block, near an independent clinic.] 】

Third Street? Independent clinics?

Wasn't it cordoned off by the Night's Watch two days ago?

The Night's Watch has determined that Dr. Kennedy had died, and the clinic has been emptied.

There should also be a few temporary security booths around the clinic, and during the day, the police station will send people to stand guard and patrol to prevent nearby residents from entering by mistake.

Dr. Kennedy's notebook was still on his desk, and the Night's Watch didn't seem to know it existed.

And during this time,

Lyndon knew that the Night's Watch would keep an eye on him, so he didn't go out to find someone to find a way to pick the lock.

The encryption of the notebook was so strong that he couldn't open it in the office without hurting it.

What does Old Jack do near the clinic in the middle of the night?

He put down the newspaper and stood up, pulling the curtain open behind him.

"Jana, come out for a moment."

Jana does not have access to sunlight and prefers to move in the shadows.

"What's the matter?"

Lyndon looked up at the sound and saw her lying upside down in the corner of the ceiling.

"Have you seen this man?"

He pointed to the photo of Old Jack in the newspaper and looked up to ask Jana.

"I'll see!"

The gray phantom fell to the desk and took the newspaper.

Jana's already distorted facial features,

After seeing the photo, it becomes even more misplaced.

The girl floated onto Lyndon's office chair and cocked her legs and twisted her chin in a casual manner.

"I do have an impression."

Lyndon had the illusion that Jana was imitating herself to speak.

She'd met Old Jack, and that's interesting information.

"Where have you seen him? Clinics? ”

"That's right."

“…… Why do you want to learn from me to speak? ”

When Jana heard the question, she reverted to her cowardly appearance, slid down her chair, and crouched under her desk and curled up.

"Because my dad said I was too timid...... I want to be as bold as you are. ”

"Okay, come on. So when did you meet this man? ”

Lyndon said perfunctorily, and then asked.

"Well, I've seen it several times...... The most recent, about half a month ago? ”

Half a month ago.

It was exactly the time when Old Jack took his place.

It was only after the health administrator left that he began to figure out how to join the Night's Watch organization.

It was also during that time that he was introduced by his neighbors to Dr. Kennedy, who was qualified to issue a medical certificate.

What's the connection between these two things?

There is a black hand hidden in the shadows, and he is walking step by step into the preset direction?

The Night's Watch should not have been in a position to do this, and according to Antar, he came into their sight only after coming into contact with Dr. Kennedy.

This kind of unfounded speculation made Lyndon very unpleasant.

But

What made him even more uncomfortable was that he had a feeling of being played with by someone.

"What did Old Jack do with your dad?"

"Well, I don't understand what they're talking about...... You give me a moment and I'll write it down for you. ”

She removed a blank piece of paper and a pen from the table.

She lay on the floor, biting the cap of her pen and thinking.

Lyndon didn't bother her, and some of Jana's memories were unstable, and it took a lot of time to recall an event in its entirety.

While Jana was meditating, he was also thinking about his own plans.

"So the best thing to do is to find out for yourself."

Lyndon looked at the end of the old Jack's news, which was published along with the contact information of the sheriff's office.

He picks up the receiver of the desk rotary phone and dials it.

"Hey, hello, this is the East Street Security Office, what's the matter with you?"

It was a woman who spoke quickly and had a crisp voice.

"I have some information to offer about Old Jack's case."

There was a commotion in the earpiece, and Lyndon waited patiently for a while before finally getting an answer.

The person who answered was changed, and the voice of this latecomer was extremely familiar.

"Could you please elaborate?"

Linden grinned.

Yo

Isn't this Antar?

"Okay, Linden's personal office is for you."
