Chapter .38 Cigarette butts

"Is it already dawn?"

Only then did Lyndon notice that the morning light seeped in through the window, draped him in a pale golden garment.

However, he didn't want to see this color again for the time being,

This only made him inexplicably uneasy.

Illusory Divine Revelation, like a wise man who looks gentle and kind on the surface, but behind the scenes, he is full of malice, and secretly raises a knife to aim at himself.

Strength can indeed make people feel at ease, and strength is the fundamental element to survive in this mysterious world.

But

Lyndon always told himself to be vigilant, not to lose himself for a small benefit, and let the outside force guide him.

Losing one's mind is often the beginning of a crisis.

So

When he noticed that the golden font had melted into his body, and when trying to change his perception, Lyndon did not hesitate to choose to resist.

What are you kidding, of course it's okay to believe in the gods, but you can't force me to accept it!

He also set a warning line for himself, if he encounters a similar promotion again in the future, he must first ensure that his consciousness is clear and will not be bewitched in any way.

Joining the Night's Watch and becoming a snooper requires a creed to kill the old Oneiroi.

So what kind of weird events do you need to go through to become a hallucinogen?

He didn't believe that there would be a free lunch in the world, and he would be able to get extraordinary singular powers for nothing.

"Oh yes! What about Antar and Sister Falcon? Have you ever been in a room? ”

Lyndon suddenly thought of this and asked Jana.

I almost forgot that I came out on a mission, and I was inexplicably delayed by the illusory divine revelation for a night, hoping that they would not have any suspicions.

"No, they've been working outside, and a lot of people have come to the castle."

Jana shook her head,

"Sister Falcon wanted to come in to see you, but I said that you fell asleep with great difficulty, and it was easy to wake up, so you can't be disturbed. Then, she never came to this room. ”

"Well done, you are indeed the right-hand man of our Lyndon personal office."

"Hey, thanks."

"Then you said you want to recall the clues, do you think about it?"

"Think about it! While you were in the dark dream, I took a pen from my bag and wrote down everything I knew. ”

Jana floated to one of the walls of the room, and the black ink was written in circles on most of the wall.

She's mimicking Lyndon's habit of putting together a mind map.

Still, Jana apparently couldn't understand how Lyndon was sorting out the clues.

Judging from the ink on the wall, she can still only write scattered information.

Most of the contents of the circle paintings are meaningless, and there are even fun paintings that she painted with the characteristics of young people.

Of all the information, less than 20% of the information can really be used as clues.

Jana would write down all the things she thought were strange.

But it doesn't matter, it's already her best for her.

If there is at least one clue to follow, Jana's mission will be a complete success.

"Let me see what clues you find."

Linden quietly read the writing on the wall, while Jana watched him silently from the side.

[There are sixteen rooms in total.] 】

[There are so many monsters, I'm scared. 】

……

[There's a cigarette butt in the hallway, it's still clean, it's weird, do the Louis go to the hallway to smoke?] 】

Seeing this along the handwriting, Linden's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly greeted Jiana:

"This one, the cigarette butt, can you remember where you found it?"

"It's in the hallway, next to the secret passage you came out of."

"You'll show me around later."

"Take you around? Do you want to see that cigarette butt? I brought it! ”

"Got it?"

Jana flew to the briefcase and rummaged through it for a while.

When she floated back to Linden, she had half a short cigarette butt in her hand.

The cigarette butt was trampled flat before it was smoked, but it was still very clean, and there were no shoe prints visible on the surface of the yellowed cigarette paper.

"I was afraid I wouldn't remember, so I took everything I could with me.

Well, I have one more thing here. ”

The slender little hand flipped over, and in the other hand she clenched, there was another strange hard object that was charred black.

The hard object had been scorched, losing its original form and making it difficult to identify.

Despite not holding out hope, Lyndon frowned and asked:

"What is this?"

"I don't know...... Anyway, I looked at it, and at the door of Mr. and Mrs. Louis' room, I picked it up and ran. ”

It was burned at the door and abandoned, and it seems that some evidence was to be destroyed.

Unfortunately, in Loft City, the sheriff does not have the technology to test it.

If someone can take a sample of the material and analyze the composition of this charred mass, it might help a lot to get things going.

Without this piece of talent, it is really ......

As if he had suddenly received inspiration, he clenched his right hand into a fist, knocked it on the palm of his left hand, and exclaimed:

"Simon! Isn't Simon an alchemist? He should be familiar with the material, right? ”

"Simon? Is it the old man you met on the black market? ”

Jana's memory is a little disorganized, and she's not sure if she's remembering someone wrong.

"That's right, he said he was an alchemist of hope. He should not have received the Hope Divine Revelation, comprehended the singularity of the Natural, and specialized in alchemy.

I believe that Simon's professionalism must be much better than Antar's, otherwise Capio would not have sought to cooperate with him. ”

"But I remember, you asked him to go to the office to find you! It's not an East Block, so you can't reach him, can you? ”

"At this point, it's time to test the Night's Watch organization's search capabilities."

“…… I now think they're not as reliable as they used to be. ”

"Mind you, I'm also a night watchman now."

"Ahh I'm sorry! ”

Jana lowered her head in panic and curled up on her knees.

Lyndon didn't tease her any longer, and read all the clues.

After that, there is no more high-value information.

"Am I not good enough......

"No, it's done great. Let's go, let's go out and see if Antar recognizes this smoke. ”

"Why do you ask him?"

"His knuckles are yellow, he always wants to lean to his mouth when he holds a pen, and there are many details that prove that he is a smoker.

Even if he doesn't know him, isn't there still a Falcon Sister?

Jana, get rid of the handwriting, and we're ready to go out. ”

"Oh, good."

Evoking the gloomy wind, Jana slices off the wall, and the surface on which the calligraphy and paintings are written crumbles into powder when it hits the ground.

Then, with a long yawn, she slowly floated back to her briefcase.

It seems that today, her activity time has ended.

Jana has her unique way of restoring her strength, similar to human sleep.

Lyndon picked up his briefcase and led her out of the room.

It just so happened that Antar hurried past the door.

Seeing Lyndon walk out, he stopped, squinted and stared at him suspiciously:

"Are you alright? Don't need to take a break? ”

"It's okay, I slept comfortably this night."

Lyndon was telling the truth, after receiving the revelation, he was indeed back to his best.

Even, it is more energetic than ever.

The gain from singularity was all-encompassing, and he felt that with his current level of spirit, he could still stay up all night for days.

"Okay, if you feel that you can't continue the mission, you must bring it up in time."

Linden gave his signature smile:

"I am the commander of this operation, only commanding, not taking risks.

Take me to see what you've been up to all night. ”
