Dunn didn't give Esther a formal welcome party, he was always wary of Esther, and after hearing Leonard's description of the anomaly, Dunn was not surprised, but asked Leonard not to tell anyone else, and he would prepare some snacks for Esther to take with him.

Leonard leaves the captain's office and enters the night watchmen's lounge, where he sees Esther holding a meat pie and watching the others play, Siga, Loyo, and Kornley fighting evil, and Frye waiting for a replacement in the next game.

Seeing Leonard walk in, Esther smiled at him: "Your dinner is on the coffee table over there, this filling is very fragrant!" It's so delicious! ”

Xijia smiled and shook his head: "This is ordinary ground beef, this store's honey sauce steak is the best, next time we can go to the store to try it." ”

"Then I'm going to look forward to it!"

Leonard looked at Esther's eyes that were shining because of the food, and remembered her strange appearance in the carriage dozens of minutes ago, and always felt a chill in his back. After he had quickly settled dinner, he went back to his office and had a headache with the poetry book primer.

Esther didn't notice Leonard's alienation from her, and after eating the pie, she enjoyed the apple pie again, only to feel that the fatigue of the afternoon training had been swept away.

The red moon rose outside, and Esther sat on the couch in the reception foyer, turning her gaze back from the disgusting moon, listening to Roshan talk about the recent newspaper gossip.

Truth be told, Roshan didn't know what the crowd of people who wanted to march for the Grain Act were doing, she just thought of something new and wanted to share it. Esther sighed for this, "the grain is cheap and hurts the peasants" is a truth she has heard at a very naïve age, when the time comes, a large number of peasants can only survive and can only sell their land cheaply, and they will become the lowest coolie workers in the city, and then the human resources will be too much, and the workers at the bottom will be even more unable to make money.

As far as Esther knew, there weren't many protections for workers in the kingdom of Rune, they were more like endlessly squeezed gears, worn out and discarded, and there was always a new, more robust workforce willing to step up anyway.

Roshan was on duty tonight, so she would stay here with the other night watchmen, and when old Neil came home, she would go to the arsenal below to guard it.

Esther had expected to pass so quietly tonight, but suddenly someone slammed into the door of the Black Thorn Security Company, it was a middle-aged man in a police uniform, his face was flushed from running, his sideburns were sparse and gray, and he blocked most of his head with a police hat.

But at this time, the police hat was also crooked, and he shouted and asked, "Is Mr. Smith here?" Hurry up, we need help urgently! ”

Esther immediately jumped up from the couch and quickly descended the stairs, almost jumping down: "Captain Dunn! There is an urgent call for help! From the police station! ”

After Dunn announced the emergency gathering, several of the night watchmen quickly prepared to make their way to the front room, except for Sequence 9's Kornley and Luo Yao, who remained on duty at Chanis Gate, and Leonard, Frye, and Siga all followed Dunn. Dunn had just taken out a few seals from inside the Chanis Gate, and when he handed them over to a few people, he quickly explained the negative effects and abilities.

Esther was also included in the operation, and she was given a short broad sword numbered "2-147", the blade of which was only slightly longer than the palm of the sword, and was covered with bandages.

"This seal, also known as 'Half Dawn', will at least protect yourself with your dexterity with your blade. The negative effect is that long-term holding will make the mind sluggish, impulsive and irritable, so you must tie the bandage again after use to cover its light. ”

Esther nodded, but as soon as she held the hilt of the sword in her hand, she immediately sensed the sense of obedience that emanated from it, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised. The source of the little whispering inside Chanismen suddenly became clear, and eighty percent of what she felt was the "fluctuation" of these seals, which was very similar to the first time she saw the little bug, when the communication between the two sides was the "expression" of Esther to sense the little bug.

These seals ...... What exactly does it come from?

Esther had a terrible idea, but she put that guess down and tried to be mentally prepared to face the danger with the others.

This is her first mission, and she must not be distracted!

——

Holly South Street, No. 9 Townhouse for Rent.

Originally, there were three families living here, but now, I am afraid that only two families remain.

The police were called by two other families, who heard screams coming from room 3 during dinner, and soon saw the mistress of the house screaming and running out of the door, but was quickly chased by a man with a knife, who raised his hand and conjured a black flame that ignited the hostess's legs. After that, the man dragged the screaming hostess back into the house, and the other two families immediately ran out at this time, and once they entered the police station, they refused to leave.

The police became suspicious of the man's abilities and sent someone to ask for help from the Seventh Team of the Special Operations Division of the Police Agency, which has jurisdiction over the western district of Ahowa County, that is, the night watchmen of the Church of the Goddess of the Night. At the same time, the police also assigned officers to initially surround the block, restricting anyone's entry and exit.

At this time, most people are still at home for dinner, and not many people are moving around.

After Dunn and the others arrived at the scene, they immediately briefly communicated with the police personnel about the current situation. Cizer hurriedly returned, and he had to go back to pick up Old Neil, because he had to prepare the materials needed for ritual magic, Old Neil did not follow Dunn and the others to set off immediately.

Standing in the middle of the other night watchers, Esther was half a head shorter than the one-meter-seven Siga, and the sleeves of the probationary police inspector's uniform were rolled up several times so as not to affect her large movement of her arms.

"No one has come out? It is highly likely that the murderer is still inside. ”

Because it was most likely the Extraordinary on the other side, Dunn asked the ordinary officers to keep their distance from the perimeter, and the night watchmen except Esther drew their pistols, and Dunn motioned for Esther to follow Frye, much to the relief of a nervous Leonard.

Frye is the "corpse collector" of Sequence 9, the most silent person in the entire Night Watch Squad, about thirty years old, his thin lips always pursed into a thin line, his neatly broken black hair contrasts with his pale complexion, and his cold temperament gives him an undead atmosphere.

After getting a few people to find a covered squatting position, Dunn approached the front door with his gun and then used his Nightmare ability to drag everyone in the house into dreamland.

But Esther didn't, she just saw Frye suddenly close his eyes, and it took more than ten seconds before she opened them again.

Frye noticed her blank gaze and could only explain in a whisper: "The people in the house have been pulled into a dream, and we are on standby, staring at the second-floor window." ”

Esther immediately looked up, and naturally had some kind of feeling in her heart, she untied the dusty bandage on the outside of the short sword, wrapped it around her forearm and tied it tightly: "That person won't come out from this side." ”

Frye was stunned: "How do you know?" ”

"Yes...... Spiritual intuition? ”

Frye nodded, but apparently didn't trust Esther too much, as she didn't sound sure.

Esther looked at the short sword in her hand, it was indeed only half-cut, and the half-cut sword body covered by bandages had a strange translucent appearance, and there seemed to be morning light flowing in it, making it extremely bright.

As planned, Leonard had just stepped into the house through the back door for a minute when a roar erupted in the room, followed by a sudden slam of the house that came from the opposite side of Esther, which was the west side of Siga's guard.

"Let's go!"

Even if there was no Frye to warn her, Esther would immediately run, and listening to the violent movement just now, the suspect would probably have broken through the wall directly. After realizing that Esther was a few points faster than him, Fry immediately put away his previous "nanny" mentality and put Esther in the position of his teammates.

"Bump! Touch! ”

Two gunshots made the officers on the perimeter nervous.

Dunn was the first to arrive, and it was Siga who fired, and she shot backwards as she went, distancing herself from the man who was clutching the axe, who was covered in blood, but there was no expression on his face, and his round and bulging eyes were bloodshot.

Seeing that Siga's speed was quite fast, the man gave up the pursuit and ran in the other direction, and Dunn did not hesitate to shoot him in the back. As if he had eyes on his back, the man jumped to the side to avoid the vital point, but he was shot in the side arm, and ran out without looking back, and the scarlet in his eyes became more and more intense.

Dunn was about to follow, but a large cloud of black flames suddenly burst out in front of him, and he was forced to bypass it, and this delay caused the man to run several more meters, and he was about to run into the back street.

Seeing this, Frye immediately used the seal he was holding, which was a rust-red whistle, and Frye fired a shot at the man as he blew it.

The shot missed, and was dodged by the man again, but the seal's extraordinary ability was activated, and the man panted and turned back, his indifferent face distorted with anger, and he roared and rushed in the direction of Fry, brandishing his axe as if determined to hack Fry's death.

Esther has a kind of illusion that MT is attracting monsters when she played online games in her previous life.

Now that the monsters are all induced, it's time for melee combat?

After all, this Extraordinary is a great threat to the Tingen Night Watch Squad.

When this thought came to her, Esther's body reacted much faster than her consciousness, she acted completely according to instinct and spiritual intuition, thinking is a process, and this process is too slow for the human body.

She needs to get rid of this threat as soon as possible so that no one in the Nightwatch team gets hurt.

Esther suddenly ran out to everyone's surprise, and Siga nervously shouted, "Wait, don't-"

The next moment, Esther's light sideways slid away from the man's axe, and the short sword in her hand danced a fan-like phantom, slicing the man's wrist. The moment the man's hand was out of force, Esther quickly took the falling axe with her left hand, and the instinct of the thief's hand allowed her to seize the moment.

With a flick of Esther's wrist, the axe slashed into the man's thigh with the inertia of falling to the ground, and he was halfway through. Before the man's hand fell, Esther dodged behind him, and with all her strength, she poked the half-cut sword out of the man's chest from the back until only the hilt remained.

The hilt of the sword also revealed the golden light of the morning sun, and wisps of black gas continued to emerge from the man's wound.

Esther didn't try to pull out her axe and dagger, she almost crawled a few meters away, clinging to a tree that could be used as cover, looking at her "results" behind her.

The axe had been pulled out and tossed at the man's feet, he was screaming and screaming wildly, his severed wrists and the back of his heart continuing to glow a strange black, his cursing and blood pouring out of his thighs. The man's eyes had turned completely scarlet, and black flames appeared uncontrollably around him and vanished.

This melee fight took place no more than two breaths, and before Siga and Frye had fully recovered their senses, Leonard's voice rang out nearby: "Ah, the threat of fear, the crimson hope! At least one thing is true: this life flies by. One thing is true, the rest are lies, and the flowers will die after blooming for a while......"

The man's howl gradually subsided, and the slumbering effect of the verse's spirituality and the weakness of blood loss made him struggle to crawl towards Esther more and more slowly, and at last he lay in a pool of his own blood, his blood-colored eyes still fixed on Esther, full of hatred for revenge, as if to devour her in the abyss.

Dunn raised his gun, and two bullets infused with purifying power were fired into the man's head, completely cutting off his breath.

Esther sat down on the grass, her mind back in the driver's seat, and she looked at the man on the ground in disbelief, confused by the fighting abilities she had just demonstrated. Esther felt like throwing up, not because of the strong smell of blood in her nose, but because she was terrified of her abilities, and for a moment, she felt like she was no longer human.

She didn't hesitate in her actions, and the blood on her cheeks was still a little warm.

Esther suddenly felt that putting "ordinary" on her was the most ridiculous description.

That little bug had been right all along.

Would ordinary people end the first "battle" in their lives so neatly and ferociously?

Esther reached out to wipe the blood from her face, and looked at the red mark on the back of her hand, feeling that she couldn't tell what it was.

Dunn leaned over and pulled out the dagger from the man's body, the dagger was not stained with any blood, but only burned the little black slime that was attached to it, and when he saw that the dagger was restored to its polish, Dunn handed it to Esther.

Siga ran over and helped Esther up, looked the girl up and down, and made sure that she was really not injured and that the blood was all from the suspect. Esther didn't say anything the whole time, but calmly removed the bandage from her arm and recoiled it on the dagger to cover the light emitted by the "half of the dawn".

Frye went to examine the suspect's body, and Leonard approached a few people, and when he saw Esther's distracted expression, he couldn't help but say, "Maybe you want to see the victim." ”

Siga frowned disapprovingly: "She's ...... like this now"

Dunn gestured, "No, let Esther take a look." Siga, you stay here and help Frye guard the body. ”

Siga patted Esther on the shoulder, "Can you still hold on?" ”

Esther nodded silently and numbly followed Dunn, not daring to look at the dead suspect on the ground.

Dunn looked at Esther, but said to Siga, "She should at least know what it's all for." ”
