Esther rolled over hard from the stone bed, but it wasn't big enough for her to toss, and she fell straight to the ground, letting out a wail.

A voice came from outside the stone door: "Esther? You okay? ”

Esther quickly got up and fumbled to pull on the wall light so that she wouldn't hit her toes when she opened the door in the dark.

"I'm fine! Here it comes! ”

As soon as the stone door opened, Dunn, who was holding a quilt, saw her hair curled up: "Sorry, did you disturb your sleep?" I've got you stuff to you. ”

Esther quickly took the quilt and placed it on the stone bed, and then she noticed that there were two boxes at Dunn's feet, which someone must have helped him carry over, but she left after moving.

"Thank you! I'm really sorry for you. ”

Dunn helped Esther move the suitcase through the door, "If there's anything else you need, you can let me know." ”

"Not for now, I'll stay here."

Dunn had never seen such an active "prisoner" before, and for a moment choked, "That's good." ”

Esther pointed to the two boxes, "Then can I put it out the door after I take it out?" It takes up a lot of space in the house. ”

"Yes, I'll take them with me when I get my lunch delivered."

Dunn even brought in a tin bucket and told Esther to throw anything he didn't want, and then told Esther again that he would ask for anything before he left the stone house.

"Isn't this Captain Smith that Daley said he doesn't remember well......" Esther muttered, pulling the box open and looking through the contents, most of which were clothes, folded neatly.

As there was no wardrobe in the house, Esther left the box behind, and from the other box she had left the sundries she had left in the Sling bakery, Esther pulled out the handkerchief that had been used as a nest and placed it at the head of the bed.

Since there was nothing else to do, Esther focused on packing her things neatly, the notes she had taken in the Night Chapel, the many new books and pens she had bought were all in it, a green striped scarf sewn with a bear pattern, a small string of colored threads, and the purse, but other than that, Esther didn't have many personal belongings, and the box was quickly emptied.

"Oops, I didn't have time to make it up." Esther added a splash of color to the room by placing the scroll of colored thread on the stone table along with the books, and she had planned to try to make small bracelets to make extra money, which she had learned when she was popular in high school, but before she could redo it, she was brought here.

It seems that there is no need to worry about making money for the time being.

Thinking optimistically, Esther pushed the empty box outside the stone door, sat down in her chair and looked at the "Selected Poems of Russell" that she had not finished reading before. Her evaluation of this book of poems recommended by the clerk was: I copied a lot.

This causes her to have a rather subtle expression on her face when she reads a book.

It wasn't long before Dunn knocked on the stone door again, and Esther came out at once, taking the paper bag he was holding, which contained a salted lettuce sandwich, a skin bag of water, and a muffin cake and apple.

"Thank you! Please tell Ms. Dalie not to worry about me, I'm fine here. ”

Dunn nodded silently, picked up the empty box at the door and left.

Esther looked down the hallway to the other side, she always felt something noisy in it, always whispering, but quickly quieted down after Dunn left, as if afraid of her attention.

Is there anything else that's going down here?

The power of the night-like resemblance took root everywhere, reassuring Esther. Curious, Esther was not in trouble, and she happily pulled up the stone door with her lunch, without any intention of finding out.

Esther had lunch and continued to read the book of poems by Russell the Great, and from these plagiarists, he was definitely a time-traveler, just like himself and the goddess of the night. Esther hadn't had time to collect information about the life of Russell the Great, and didn't know that he was still alive?

But looking at the way the clerk boasted about his poetry collection, eighty percent of them are no longer alive, and the dead always receive more respect than the living.

Except, of course, for the gods who really exist in this world.

Esther thought about what she was going to do in the future, she wasn't in a good state to run outside, according to Night, she would affect any creature that came into contact with her, but she didn't think anything was wrong.

Well, it does seem that it is very easy for her to gain the favor of others and then hold their fate......

The moment this thought came to mind, Esther keenly retained it, and she sat up slightly straighter, put down the sandwich on her lips, and remembered the tampering with the little bug's instructions when she was blocked in that alley.

That's the key? It seems to have found a clue.

What does the night say about the little bugs?

Thinking of this, Esther nibbled on her sandwich and pulled over her notebook, quickly combing through the current clues, especially circled a few key words: fate, other worlds, good intentions in the night, plans, and true god history.

After thinking about it, Esther still wrote the word "Amon" in the corner, in a more inconspicuous place.

These are all things that she needs to observe and gather clues, and in the short term, I don't know if Ms. Daly and her teammates know about it.

Esther had been digging through her pocket for a long time before she caught the little bug, which was curled up in a ball, surrounded by what seemed to be a black shell, and a faint light could be seen surrounding it.

"Huh......" Esther tentatively pinched the shell, it was so hard that she couldn't move at all, she was worried about hurting the little bugs inside, so she could only give up the violent act of breaking the shell, put it in the handkerchief at the head of her bed, and wrapped it carefully.

The afternoon was so quiet for Esther that she missed the busyness of the bakery.

She unwrapped the colored threads, knitted them in circles, and passed them through each other, and the black and gold bracelets took shape little by little. Esther grabbed these two colors at random, and she thought it would be more beautiful than just black and white with a little color.

After all, it's just a test product, so there's no need to waste too many threads.

But there was an abrupt incident, and Asther heard footsteps outside the door, but instead of going to her room, she went deeper down the hallway, and then quickly left.

Esther poked her head out, and there was only an empty and dimly lit hallway, the candle flames on the walls steadily illuminating the limited range of vision.

Listening to the footsteps, one is Mr. Dunn, and the other is lighter than him, and it seems to be shoes with heels, and it is more likely that he is a woman? Esther didn't bother to count the time, but by the time Dunn's tired footsteps sounded, it was after she had finished knitting most of the bracelets.

I've been there for a long time, at least an hour. According to what Mr. Neil said before, they should have brought something with them to fight.

When the food was delivered in the evening, Dalie came down with Dunn, and as soon as she asked at the door, Esther happily opened the door: "Ms. Dalie! ”

Dai Li quickly restrained the sadness on her face and showed a gentle smile: "Good evening, Esther, this is the dinner we brought you." Is it okay to stay here today? ”

Esther took the paper bag: "It's good, it's just a little boring." You may be used to being busy in the bakery, and it is difficult to meditate when you are free. ”

Dai Li breathed a sigh of relief: "I went to see Wendy, and she said to let you take care of yourself, everything is okay in the bakery." ”

"You won't have ...... if you stay here Discomfort? Dai Li hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask.

"No, to be honest, I think it's quite peaceful," Esther picked up the bracelet on the table and happily showed it to Dalie, "This is a handicraft I'm making, and I can give you one when I'm familiar with it, and I'm sure it will bring you good luck." ”

Seeing that the smile on Esther's face didn't seem to be fake, Dali was also a little confused: "Then do you need me to bring something for you?" Books are okay, old Neil has a lot of them—"

Quite a few occult books.

Dunn suddenly cleared her throat, Dai Li's voice stopped abruptly, and she retracted what she hadn't said just now, she shook her head in distress: "Okay, I remember that Luo Yao still has a few novels there, I'll go and borrow them from her." ”

Esther noticed Dunn's attitude and quickly said to Dalie, "It's okay, Dalie, I have my own books to read." I'll tell you if I need to. ”

"Tomorrow the senior deacon sent by the church of Beckland will come, and he will help to check on you when the time comes. We will definitely help you, it is our duty as night watchmen. ”

What Daly said was very serious, but the content was a little subtle, which deviated from the situation when Esther was suddenly brought down. This made Esther can't help but glance at Dunn, feeling that the captain-in-chief, who seemed to be very stable, was hiding something from Daly.

Esther nodded at Daly: "It's okay, Mr. Smith also helped me deliver things, I'm in good condition now, don't worry about me." ”

Daly was about to say something, but Dunn coughed twice, and she immediately took a half step back, and the two of them nodded to Estie before leaving the ground.

Esther glanced thoughtfully at the backs of the man and woman, and closed the stone door.

——

Daly left Chanisgate after Dunn, and though she was full of questions, her trust in Dunn kept her silent.

So Dunn spoke first: "Dali." ”

"Captain, I'm here."

"Do you remember how long you've known Esther?"

"It's not short, it's a year—no, more than half a year?"

Dunn's face became more and more ugly: "No, absolutely not. ”

Dai Li's brows gradually furrowed: "When I went to ask Langsa before, she described it very vaguely. ”

Even the answer is not much different from hers, but now that it is connected, it is not right.

"I asked Kornley to ask again today, and Ronza's answer was already a year, but Pastor Lossard's answer was only four months. Except for the first time he took Esther to class, he didn't communicate much, and only remembered that there was such a student when he saw Esther every Sunday. ”

"Four months...... In other words, Esther's contact with Langsa has not been that long at all, and there is a problem with her memory? ”

Dunn nodded solemnly: "So far, I can't be sure whether it is simply the memory that has been affected or only the impression of Esther, but the longer you are in contact with Esther, the more familiar you will feel, and it will occupy a small corner of your life." ”

"And the person concerned didn't feel unreasonable at all."

Dunn glanced at Dali in thought: "Even if you realize this, you will be unconsciously affected by her." It's like myself, and I always feel like I've been seeing Esther for days. ”

Dai Li bit her lower lip: "But she only came here today." ”

"I only realized the consequences of allowing Esther to come into contact with ordinary citizens outside the home, and I only realized it after listening to Kornley's report."

Daly felt incredulous, but Dunn's words did enlighten her, and she silently listened to Dunn's further analysis: "Esther can win people's trust so easily, and once she has an idea, the people around her will unconsciously accept her decision, whether it is good or bad, good or evil. ”

"But she's not that kind of person."

Dunn sighed, "Yes, I can tell, at least not now." But we can't guarantee what will happen in the future, so we'll have to watch Esther stay inside Chanis Gate for a short time. The Templar said that when Deacon Sesima arrived in Tingen, he would be responsible for sealing Esther's overflow power, and that Deacon Sesima would decide the rest of the matter. ”

"Will she be okay?"

"We can't guarantee that," Dunn explained, shaking his head, too rationally, "it's our duty to protect Tingen, and now that Esther is here, we'll have to bear the brunt of the impact." So far, at least, Esther hasn't caused too serious incidents. ”

Dali didn't speak, but anyone could see her depression.

"Esther's essence is closer to a living seal."

Dali looked at Dunn in surprise and sadness: "How is it possible!?" She's obviously - she's an ordinary living person! An extraordinary person at best! ”

Dunn's voice gradually lowered, "This is a message from the Templar telegram, and I have verified that she has no dreams that she can enter at all. Actually, I shouldn't tell anyone, but I think you have permission to know, after all, you're already in the seventh sequence, and you'll be transferred to Beckland soon......"

Daly stared blankly at Dunn.

Dunn didn't look at her: "I hope you can exercise yourself with peace of mind and let go of this matter." ”

Daly suddenly wanted to go up and pinch Dunn's face, shouting and asking if the elm head cared about herself or not, but she knew that even if she did, she would only get Dunn's more determined rejection, because that was the hysteria that only immature little girls have.

In the end, Dai Li just laughed lightly twice: "Okay, okay, I'll work hard, captain." ”

So the relationship between us can only be between the captain and the team members, and until we are friends?

I'm really unwilling.

Dunn didn't speak, he didn't even say "one more thing", he turned and entered his office, the door closing in front of Daly's eyes.
