Esther was chatting with Roseanne about the launch of the Flying Ship today, mainly listening to Roseanne express her regrets: "I wish they could open a direct route to Desey Bay so we can go there for a holiday!" ”

"I have limited interest in traveling, but some magazines have introduced the recipe of Dixie pie, and it looks delicious."

"Don't you want to go outside?" Luo Shan asked curiously, "Are you from Tinggen?" ”

Esther frowned in confusion: "No, I'm certainly not from Tingen......"

At this moment, the bell in the reception hall rang, and Luo Shan stood up unhappily: "Oh, I don't know what the captain is looking for me, I'll take a look!" ”

"It's supposed to be for you to show your new colleague the way. Because the captain still had to stay there to guard the Chanis Gate, it was inconvenient to take him somewhere else. ”

Esther threw a puff into her mouth, flipped through today's latest newspaper Tingen Candezvous, and browsed the short story column on it, but Siga's submission was rejected again, and she might be able to write some horror stories based on the experience of the night watchman...... Forget it, that's too dangerous for ordinary citizens, after all, spirits and demons are real in this world.

At the same time, Crane, who had just received a huge advance of twelve pounds, followed Roshan's direction to the room of the arsenal, and he saw an old man in a classical black robe sitting behind a table, holding a few pages in his hand, thinking something under the gaslight.

Not long after, Klein saw the diary written by Russell the Great in Chinese Simplified, and he finally confirmed this time that this traverser senior was really his compatriot!

The diary was so informative that Klein only had time to memorize it in his heart.

Has Esther seen any of these too? Crane was curious, but he couldn't show it yet, and now that he had joined the Night Watch, there would be no shortage of opportunities to investigate.

When Crane left the underground, he happened to meet Leonard coming down, and he was about to replace Dunn with Chanis Gate.

After a brief conversation, Leonard walked down the stairs, stopping around the corner and muttering to himself.

An old voice sounded in his head: "No, I didn't feel it, he looks like an ordinary person." ”

Klein returned to the reception hall, Roseanne and Esther were giggling together because they were talking about something, and when they saw Klein coming up, both of them were embarrassed to suppress their laughter, and Roseanne waved at Crane: "The captain asked you to come back on Monday and take care of the chores at home first." ”

Crane agreed, and glanced at Esther, "Also, thank you for the puffs." ”

"No thanks! Anyway, we're all colleagues. Esther waved her hand repeatedly.

Roseanne winked her eyes at Esther, "Anyway, you just like to feed others, don't you?" ”

"It's like you're a gossip enthusiast."

"You're laughing at me again!" Roseanne said angrily, but there was no anger in her eyes.

Klein didn't stay any longer to listen to this kind of girl-specific sitcom, since there was no chance to talk to Esther alone, let's go home first, Melissa will love this puff. He was tempted to ask Roseanne about the Extraordinary, but now that Esther was there, it was not appropriate for him to inquire about the news.

Esther looked at Klein and blinked, and some kind of induction in the dark made her suddenly remember, "Oh, I have a book to return to old Neil, I'll go back to the house and look for it." ”

Then she left the reception hall of the Black Thorn Security Company.

Of course, Klein immediately seized this opportunity to ask Roseanne about the extraordinary abilities mastered by the church, and in his heart he praised Esther, a suspected fellow.

So empathetic!

——

The next night, Esther had just had dinner when Dunn, who was about to go out, came over and called her.

"Is it a mission?"

"Guards, to be exact, the new team member is being followed, and Leonard is now on guard in the shadows. But at night, the other party is likely to do something, and we go to change shifts. ”

Esther nodded, knowing that she was taking her for insurance, she walked over to Dunn's side and took the "Half Dawn" from Dunn, which was almost the standard when she went on a mission, but Dunn also gave Esther two small boxes, one of which contained a clump of dark black hair, and the other with a feather-shaped brooch.

"3-0611's 'Quiet Hair', 3-0499's 'Shadow Feathers', you should have seen their profiles."

"Well, suppression and hiding, that is, no need to kill. Do you want to ask for information in your dreams? ”

"Yes, I don't want to alarm ordinary residents without knowing the ability of the other party's sequence, so as not to put them in danger."

"Understood. I would aim to stun or subdue the other person. ”

Once again, Dunn felt a very different state from when Esther received the assignment, and as the number of assignments increased, this change in her became more and more obvious, and Dunn was not sure if this was a good thing.

The Templar told him that this was normal, which led Dunn to speculate that maybe this was the real "Esther"?

But Esther's cooperation with others is unusually efficient, she is not affected by the spirit of the Midnight Poet's poems, she does not fall asleep because of the control of nightmares, her spiritual intuition brings quick impromptu reactions, and her analysis and reasoning are like a bonus to extraordinary abilities. Although she can't use things like spiritual charms, Esther's negative impact on seals is minimal, which allows the team to use more powerful and more powerful seals when she's present.

The carriage stopped a street away, and under Dunn's gaze, Esther put on the "shadow feather" first, and her body instantly seemed to melt into the darkness, turning into a light shadow, not that no one could notice if she didn't know that there was someone here.

Dunn found Leonard in the agreed position, and after a brief exchange, he patted Leonard on the shoulder, signaling that he could go back first.

"Captain, you're alone?"

"Esther is too."

Leonard nodded, and left the alley, he was going back to a café for dinner.

Around midnight, someone broke into the room where Moretti's house was.

Crane woke up immediately after receiving Dunn's instructions in his dream.

At the same time, Esther, with the blessing of the shadow feather's stealth ability, felt the door, the shadow like a cloak wrapped around her shoulder, perfectly hiding her figure from the crimson moonlight, Dunn stood at the end of the hallway, and when the door was slowly opened and slammed shut, he immediately began to chant the melody:

"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......"

At the same time as the psalm sounded, Esther had already burst out, but she did not rush to attack, but first used the agility of the thief's hand to accurately stuff the black hair into the man's back collar in an instant.

The man only let out a half-muffled snort, but the power of the "Quiet Hair" suppressed the desire to fight back, and it was no longer possible to resist Dunn's chant, and he lay quietly on the ground. Seeing that he refused to close his eyes for a long time, Esther knew that his desire to sleep was also suppressed by "Quiet Hair", so she simply used the hilt of the sword of "Half Dawn" to hit the back of the man's head, with moderate force, and knocked him unconscious directly.

Dunn was at the end of the hallway, his eyes still closed, and Esther knew that Dunn was entering the man's dream, so she stopped where she was, crouching beside the man, in case he suddenly broke out and had an accident.

After a few minutes, Dunn motioned for Esther to leave with the man first, and he would briefly talk to Klein.

Esther led the sleeping man into the alley where she had been lying with the captain beforehand, and waited for Dunn to return.

"How are you doing?"

"Yes, the mission is over, and we'll take him back."

Esther stretched and took the wad of paper packets that Dunn had given her, containing a butter cookie that had been crushed into several petals.

——

Because of staying up late, Esther slept for a long time the next morning, and when she woke up, she looked at her pocket watch, and it was already past nine o'clock.

After she walked out of Chanis Gate, she unexpectedly met Crane in the hallway, the young man who had been attacked last night rubbing his brows, half-closed eyes and not noticing Esther walking behind her.

"Klein, good morning."

"Ah, good morning......" Crane turned his head and saw that he was greeted by the knitter of the knotted bracelet, Esther with oriental features, "It's Esther, right?" Your name seems to be rare. ”

"Yes, I suspect that I am the only one in the whole of Rune, and it is pronounced differently from Rune."

Crane lowered his brow's hand and stopped in the hallway with Esther, it seemed like the right time to ask her, "Did I see the knot you gave to Miss Daly before, it has a unique shape, does it have any special meaning?" ”

Esther thought for a moment and decided that it was okay to tell the truth: "Hmm...... In my hometown, people would use red rope to weave those knots, which were more complex in shape, and usually had a blessing in them. ”

Klein's eyes widened instantly, and he whispered in Chinese: [Chinese knot?] ]

If you don't understand Chinese, you will only think that Klein is talking to himself and he doesn't hear it clearly, but for people who also understand Chinese, it is impossible not to hear the word.

Esther's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but lower her voice for fear of being heard: [You too......]

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps, and the two fellows who were staring at each other to digest their excitement turned their heads at the same time, looking at the visitor as vigilantly as a fried cat.

Dunn looked at Esther and Klein with a puzzled face, "What?" What's going on? ”

Esther rubbed her right eyebrow: "Goddess, captain, where did you suddenly come from, it's scary." ”

"I just walked down from above." Dunn replied calmly.

Klein tried to play hard, otherwise he seemed too excited: "We just talked a little bit, well, about hometown. ”

Esther answered, "Of course, it's my hometown, but Klein knows a lot about it, and it's rare for me to meet someone who understands it. ”

When these words came out, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, this wave of mutual cooperation was not even telling a lie, the two of them tacitly agreed.

Dunn seemed to remember something, too: "Yes, Klein, you seem to be a college student in the history department, but don't casually touch the ancient books of previous centuries in the future, there are easy hidden dangers in them." Esther, you too, don't be too curious about these. ”

Both of them nodded, quietly listening to the captain's lecture.

"You all have to remember that curiosity kills cats, and it kills the extraordinary. Don't try to probe into whispers that shouldn't be heard and things that shouldn't be seen. ”

"Okay." "Got it, Captain."

Klein didn't stay long, he had something to do in the afternoon, so he said goodbye and left Black Thorn Security.

Dunn looked at Esther, "Does your spiritual instinct alarm him?" ”

"Of course not, in fact I find Klein quite kind!"

Esther said this, and this sentence couldn't be more sincere.
