Chapter Twenty-Three: Self-Explosion

On Friday, the torrential rain was pouring down, and Esther's rotation was in vain, and she originally wanted to order tickets for a recent play today, but when she saw the ghost weather outside, she "bumped" and pulled the door of the Black Thorn Security Company back with a bitter face.

"Why is it raining so hard...... "The sound of the rain kept knocking on the window, and Esther confirmed that the window was closed.

Roseanne yawned and took a sip of her coffee: "It's the season, there are a few times every summer." ”

Her hair was also a little damp, and the umbrella was in the bucket by the door, and Esther went to find a towel and came out, receiving a grateful look from Roxanne.

When Klein entered the house, his hair was sticky and wet on his forehead, and Esther found several more towels and decided to stuff one when she saw someone.

"Ah, thank you, good morning."

"Good morning, it's been a terrible day."

Klein wiped his hair haphazardly: "yes, I've almost forgotten that the summer rainstorms in Tingen are so exaggerated." ”

"So, I came to Tingen last year, well, in November." Esther winked at Crane, who instantly understood what he meant, referring to the arrival of Dawn Star.

Klein calculated the time, and it was half a year earlier than herself, so it didn't take long for her to join the night watch.

Luo Shan blinked blankly: "No, I feel like you've been in the night watch for at least a year!" It feels like we've known each other for a long time. ”

"No, that's your delusion, little Roshan. Don't follow in the footsteps of the captain at a young age and learn from him to be forgetful. ”

Esther's pretended to be old-fashioned, which made Roseanne look at her angrily: "Don't laugh at me!" I'm not forgetful! I do feel like I've been with you for a long time. ”

Esther didn't speak, just hung up a faint smile, but Klein looked at it and felt that the countryman's smile was very fake, covering up the loneliness underneath: "Maybe it's just that you get along." Being friends with people who can share similar interests will indeed make people feel like they have been together for a long time. ”

Esther shrugged as Leonard used to hang her shoulders: "Roshan hates me because I tell her to throw magazines!" ”

Roshan was unconvinced: "Hey, if you don't believe it, everyone will think that Esther has been here for a long time." ”

"Not that long...... Perhaps, as Klein said, only you are happier with me and feel longer. Esther tried to get the conversation to an end quickly.

Roseanne tapped Esther's head: "There must be!" Who wouldn't love Esther? You're always here to help everybody, and maybe everyone thinks you've been around for a long time. ”

Klein didn't notice Esther's embarrassment, and nodded in agreement: "At least Esther made a good impression on me at first sight. ”

"Isn't it because I gave you puffs?"

Klein cleared his throat: "Ahem, of course that's one of the reasons. ”

Rosanne seemed determined to let Esther know that she had been on night watch for a long time, and took Esther's hand: "Let's go, let's go ask others, everyone must think you've been here for a long time!" ”

It would be miserable if it continued like this, and Esther waved her hand again and again: "No, no, don't bother them with this kind of question!" Can I ask myself? You'll have to be on duty at the front desk. ”

"Yes, I have to stay here...... Then let Klein supervise you, and report back to me when the time comes! ”

The fellow glanced at each other and saw Esther's eager eyes for help, Klein nodded helplessly: "Okay, I can go back to study literature later." Anyway, it doesn't take much time for a problem. ”

After walking down the stairs, she felt that she should not be able to hear from above, and Esther quickly stopped: "Crane, I need to explain this to you. For the sake of the special identity we both share. ”

Klein looked at Esther curiously, quietly waiting for her next words.

"I want you not to spread the word, and most importantly, not to tell the rest of the Nightwatch, I don't want to scare or disgust them. I don't care if it's a stranger, but now I'm afraid to see that kind of look in their eyes. ”

Klein's mind has always been quick: "Is it about your sequence abilities?" ”

"Can you feel it? Yes, I remember your sequence as a soothsayer......"

"Why can't it be reasoning?" Klein's eyes became serious, "I've heard a rough idea of everyone's sequence, Dunn has detailed it when choosing 'soothsayer', but none of them match your situation. When he introduced me to the current situation of the Night Watch Squad, he said that only yours is a special case, and that it is under the direct jurisdiction of the Templars, and only half of the Night Watch is counted. ”

Esther decided to be honest: "You should know better than I do. I still don't have access to most of the literature, so I'll have to let Old Neil handle the occult books I read, which are quite limited in scope, most of them related to various ancient languages. ”

"They're jealous of your power?"

"Obviously. You see that Roshan's concept of time has blurred, which is also caused by the unconscious divergence of spirituality within the influence of my abilities. ”

Klein suddenly realized: "So you stay in the night watch, which is equivalent to being guarded?" No wonder I see you here almost every day......"

"My apparent abilities have enhanced agility, increased sensitivity in the palms and wrists, and some improvement in strength and physical fitness, you should have played online games too, right?"

"Of course, you feel a lot like an agility bonus, thief? Assassin? ”

"I'm leaning towards thieves. I'm almost instinctive about stealing.,Language.,Pretty sensitive to the other person's thoughts.,But I don't use this power much.。 There is also the ability to analyze and analyze in real time beyond ordinary people, which makes my intuition faster than thinking in the face of unexpected situations, and these abilities really need to be matched to provoke disasters. ”

Esther scratched her head in frustration, and the more she counted the abilities that the little bugs had summed up for her, the more she felt like a ticking time bomb. If one day she loses control, it is better to keep her in Chanismen for a long time, or there will be a big mess.

Klein's eyes suddenly lit up, and he recalled the contents of Russell the Great's diary, and the emperor's regret at that time was that he could not choose "apprentice", "soothsayer" or "thief"! Just listening to the description of her ability, Esther basically belongs to the "Thief" sequence, but her increase is so comprehensive, it must not only be a sequence nine, it is likely to be eight or even seven? It's a pity that I don't know what the follow-up sequence is called, and the information is insufficient.

"I don't know if you've heard of the 'thief' pathway, according to your description, there is a good chance that it is the sequence of your abilities."

Esther's eyes widened, and she could get an accurate guess from her fellow, something she never expected: "Thief...... That's a pretty good description of my 'thief's hand'! ”

Klein was stunned: "You still have a name?" ”

Esther looked away, blushing a little: "People always have to find some fun in their lives......"

"I know, I know," Klein couldn't help but laugh too arrogantly, "at least now that I have a clue, I'll help you keep an eye on this." ”

It's really not good.,You can also post a task at your own private party.,It's a pity that this information doesn't match the personality of the "god", if only there was a trumpet.。

Esther's gratitude is heartfelt: "Thank you! It would be nice to have someone to talk to, thank you for your willingness to help. If you have anything, just ask me. ”

Klein shook his head: "Since you have told me such an important secret, of course I can't let you down, no need to say anything about compensation, I won't be polite if there is something to trouble you." ”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and their moods were much better.

"Shall we still ask that question that Roseanne said?"

Esther hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Since you agreed, just ask, it will also give you a clearer understanding of how unstable the negative effects on my body are." ”

She looked at Klein deeply: "Don't forget me, [Comrade Zhou Mingrui]. ”

[See you outside, Comrade Li Xing.] ]

These two short sentences of dialogue made the two of them laugh inexplicably, and they felt like the underground party was meeting.

But only Esther herself knows how deep the sadness lies behind her words.

In the end, Klein and Esther questioned the people who stayed at Blackthorn Security today, and the more people asked, the more serious Klein's expression became, and he looked at Esther frequently, and Esther could only smile back with a casual smile.

Old Neil, who was drinking coffee and guarding the arsenal, just thought about it for a moment, and nodded confidently: "It must have been more than half a year, otherwise how could Esther's occult language learning progress be so fast?" ”

Bright and Frye's answer was unanimous: "About half a year." ”

However, Frye added later: "Very reliable teammate." ”

Cohenley wasn't here today, and Luo Yao and Siga had similar answers to Rosan.

When Leonard heard this question, he stared at the air and tilted his head, his expression becoming more and more subtle, and finally he just shook his head: "I can't remember." ”

Klein looked at Leonard thoughtfully, "Why don't you just say the time?" ”

"So, it's similar to what Siga said?" Leonard didn't mean to hide it, "I really can't remember, I feel like my memory is very confusing." ”

Xijia gave him a strange look: "Then are you okay?" Do you want to ask the captain for a break? ”

Leonard waved his hand very casually: "It's not that exaggerated, it's just that I can't remember." ”

Esther didn't bother with Leonard's flawed words, and took Klein back to the hallway: "Now you know, right?" ”

Crane's brow furrowed even tighter, "And the captain." Does he know about you? ”

"Yes, perhaps the captain, knows best."

Dunn was on duty at Chanis Gate, and after Esther asked, he simply didn't answer the question, and looked deeply at Klein next to him: "You still have a occult class today." ”

That's where it's obvious to drive people away.

Klein winked innocently at Esther, "Yes, I'll go find Old Neil." ”

It wasn't until he couldn't hear Crane's footsteps in the hallway that Dunn looked at Esther, "Esther, do you have any hunch?" ”

Esther, who just wanted to follow, had to stop: "Why did the captain say that?" ”

"You're getting too close to him, and you're even trying to trick him into noticing that something is wrong with you. What's so special about Klein? ”

"I don't know...... Maybe it's just because I think he's kind. ”

Dunn looked at Esther a few times, his dark gray eyes made it impossible to see, and finally he sighed, "Well, you go out." ”
