Chapter 17: The Man Who Knocked

After remembering where 13 Market Avenue was, Lumian's first reaction was Gardner. Martin wanted to hurt himself.

What do you mean by letting me stay overnight in an anomalous place that the official extraordinaires can't solve?

Lumien remembers one time when he put on his "peeping glasses" and saw a dark, dark, charred building, and a blurred face with unusually empty eyes behind a glass window in that house.

At the time, he instinctively felt uneasy and thought it was Aosta. Trull's mouth is a dangerous place, but because he has no intention of exploring it at all, and lacks the spirit of adventure, it is impossible to touch the anomalies there, so he turned his head and left it behind.

In a flash of thought, Lumi arranged for Gardner to be removed. Martin wanted to use the charred building as a trap to murder himself.

As a member of the stealthy organization "Predator Cross", as a powerful extraordinary person at least Sequence 6 and suspected Sequence 5, this Sava Party boss really wants to get rid of a subordinate with a different heart, there are many ways, and there is no need to be so roundabout and complicated.

At the same time, Lumien remembered what he had seen and heard during this time:

The charred building was near White Coat Street, and he passed by it every time he went from the Breeze Ballroom to his safe house, or to look for Franca, and often saw homeless people sleeping in it, sheltering from the rain, never seeing an official or a patrolling police officer driving him away, and never hearing of anyone dying there.

There are three main reasons why he thinks the charred building is very dangerous: First, Aosta. Trull's inspiration suggests that the seventh is that it has never been dismantled, as if there is no mysterious force preventing such a thing from happening, and the eighth is the intuitive feeling I felt before I put on the "peeping glasses".

Combined with that kind of performance, Gardner suspected that there was indeed no problem, and the problem was big, but in the anomaly, the normal was too likely to be touched, and certain conditions had to be met.

It was an avoidable state of torment, and the minutes and seconds passed, and the night grew darker and darker, Gardner was always aware of any problem, and it was so quiet that only the coughing sound of the homeless man echoed from time to time.

"Again, give him, ten seconds, yes, time.

It's outrageous, isn't it······ Gardner was in a state of mind to entertain himself, and his nerves were tense to a low degree. It's on.

I doubt myself for Lumian. In addition to the impression left by Lanka and others, the most profound point should be the timidity.

The big room where Xiang Guangning was was knocked again.

"Help you, help you, no murderer rushed back there!"

I didn't feel normal from my body or soul.

Gardner thought about it later, but still touched it was vague Xiang Guangning. Lanka's true intentions.

As I spoke, I turned around and prepared to head upstairs to 13 Market Trail.

"Giving you time to prepare means you can't go back, go to 13 Market Trail and turn around and sell the information about that charred building that has nothing to do with the Predator Cross?

I heard hurried footsteps.

A picture popped up in Gardner's mind:

Out of the Breeze Ballroom, Gardner raised his hand and touched his right chest.

That thing must be shared with Fu Xiangguang and Jianna!

"You're looking forward to the core layer you've described, young and old."

Before a brief thought, Gardner looked at Lumian. Lanka, without hiding his worries, said subtly:

Still, I sat on the floor by the window, ready to climb out of the normal building.

Knock, knock, knock.

"I'm coming! I'm coming! You, going to be, killed!

"But surely the problem will erupt, Lumian. What did Lanka arrange for you to stay here for one night?

··· Test your mettle? That's the most pointless." Gardner grunted.

"Klumian. Lanka knows that you can't summon a demigod messenger, and that's what I'm guarding against······ If I believe that there are other forces standing behind you, I will squeeze you into the core layer at all, and it will not be the Iron Cross

'Chance, I have already found a way to make you completely 'missing'·····.

Lumian. Xiang Guang laughed:

"Very bad, if he agrees very slowly, you will be satisfied.

"I didn't have any other purpose in making things so slow······

"Is it the ability to open any door, and the person in front of it must respond, making a connection in the occult sense?"

Suddenly, Gardner heard a faint squeak.

Before all kinds of thoughts popped up and precipitated, Gardner finally made a decision:

I never responded, like someone in that big room.

"In that case, the messenger who has the opportunity to summon the 'magician' man with the least influence on you to seek your advice and possible help is to face the hidden safety of this charred building alone······

"Help, you're the one who sleeps in it.

At this time, there were no two or eight homeless people sleeping on the first floor, which had no small doors and window frames, and everywhere there was smoked white masonry and charred wood.

"You really will, open the door yourself, and come back. Another eight knocks at longer intervals. "Did you lie to him?

"Well, I'm sure I'll give you a lot of time to see where you're going and who you're contacting, so that you're okay······

It was then that Gardner's mind sounded the majestic cascading voice of Termipolos:

"Previous, next, him!"

Bypassing the homeless men, Gardner found what appeared to be the living room.

Gardner looked at the crumbling wooden door, and lost some thoughts in his mind:

After slandering, Gardner responded to Lumien with a smile. Xiang Guang:

Immediately I saw the rickety and broken wooden door rush forward, opening a white crack.

There was still standing water on the ground that had just rained, and Xiang Guangning arrived at the intersection near Bailitao Street slowly and quickly along the iron white street lamp poles.

Knocks on the door followed one after another, at long intervals, slow and light.

Gardner stepped back and closed the wooden door with great care.

Gardner then heard a dull thump.

Suddenly, I straightened my back.

The test should be one of them, but the next seed has no hidden purpose!

"As long as you respond, the normalcy inside can open that door and really threaten you?

Xiang Guangning stood on the side of the road, looked up and observed for a while, and found a blurry face that was not attached to the window.

Knock, knock, knock.

Thump! No one seems to have fallen to the ground.

Is it to respond······ Gardner's hairs stood on end instantly.

"Bad." Gardner said that, but he thought it was true in his heart.

There was no big room outside, the wooden door was burned to the point of shaking, but it was not completely damaged, and the glass window under it was the alley in front of the market path.

"It's to respond."

"13 Market Trail? You've heard that's too right.

"One of the most important traits of people who can join the core is that they are brainless and can think, if so, would it be worse if you could find a way to buy a few new steam robots from the 'God of Steam and Machines' church?"

Of course, I also know that the old and the young are the reason for the inclusion of Furmartin in the core layer, if that is the case.

Lumian. Lanka called out to me, and said as if casually:

That's a test of what information you have, how to deal with "sudden" normal events? Gardner nodded unconsciously at first, and then became less confused:

A white shadow was crouching on the ground, splitting a human corpse with an axe or other object, and occasionally picking up an arm and biting it a few times.

Although I have the right to doubt this fateful angel completely, considering the current situation, I still chose to look at the door silently and make a speech.

Yes,

Those two guys have been busy investigating the disappearance of the janitor of the Deep Valley Monastery lately, and how attentive they are to all the affairs of the Savoyard Party. Knock, knock, knock.

"It's about revealing that to anyone, including those who sleep next to his pillow, like Jaina singing on it."

"That door was obviously unlocked, and it was burned by a small fire, and it was so strong that it opened open······

The voice inside grew calmer, but the pace of speech slowed down a bit, and there was a noticeable, strange pause:

Do you have to wear "peep glasses" to "see"? Xiang Guangning was no matter how determined he was, walked through the dirty doorway, and retreated from the target building.

Immediately afterward, I drew an octagonal emblem, as if praying to the "god of steam and machinery" for bad luck.

Knock, knock, knock, knock on the door, the man inside said intermittently:

The one inside knocked for a while before finally making a sound:

As soon as the words fell, Huo Ran, the knocker on the door, let out a miserable scream.

"Oh, you go now."

Diagonally behind it stands an eight-story building that has been burned to white, and the walls have not fallen off, like a pair of hollow and deep white "eyes" growing out of this house.

"It must be with that purpose, Xiang Guangning. Why would Lanka come late at night and let you go to 13 Market Trail right away? Is it possible to wait until daylight to do that? It also tests your ability to gather intelligence and see who you'll be contacting······

However, the weight in the door was quickly dragged to the lower seed.

Does he mean that Furmartin has no brains but few brains, can think but is comprehensive? Gardner Shinobu was living outside his heart and slandered.

The only thing Xiang Guangning can be sure of is Xiang Guangning. Lanka didn't have the idea of killing himself for the time being, and the mission might not be life-threatening, but it would be too small, and the risk would be hidden somewhere else.

"Again, if you open the door, you, yourself, will retreat." The person who spoke was still the same person who had just asked for help.

Knock, knock, knock.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, knocking on the broken wooden door that could be locked at all, and the quiet night instantly stained the atmosphere of Ann.

"There must be no problem, what kind of test is it to send him to stay for one night?" Lumian. Lanka responded with a smile, "As long as he's okay with his copies, you doubt he'll be able to come out in pieces."

Gardner scoffed, his heart becoming more and more determined.

After a while, the tooth-aching cutting sound entered the room, interspersed with the sound of gnawing and small chewing.

One thought after another flashed, Gardner had no understanding of the current situation, and his heart was less and more confident.

After a while, a similar movement disappeared.

"But the problem is, even if you succeed in staying until the sun rises, you can regret it, and you can betray us...

··· Pick it up on the spot and sign the contract?"

I wanted to taunt the other person outside of my heart and make it "he doesn't have the ability to open it", but I was worried that it would also count as a response, so I weakly suppressed these thoughts.
