Ademisor didn't stare at Esther for long, and soon looked away from her eyes with tears raging, his awe and longing written on his face, and the madness in his eyes gradually subsided, and he would turn his head from time to time and stare at Esther with that fanatic look, and then turn his eyes away after the pain in his eyes was once more tearful.

Esther had goosebumps, and she wanted to distance herself now, but Ademisor still tugged at the corners of her clothes, and had agreed with Klein that she couldn't go too far.

Anyway, it won't be good to look at it a few times, let him see it...... Esther sat helplessly beside Ademisor, looking at the customers as he did. After all, the "Dragon Bar" belongs to the market under official control, so there are only a few people who hide their appearance, after all, they have to verify their identity when they enter here, and the people on the wanted list will be recognized at a glance, and then use a hood mask to hide their identity is limited.

Of course, Esther suspects that there are also people who have come in with their identities concealed, or who have disguised themselves as someone else's. The authorities can't be too strict, that will make the wild extraordinary people so vigilant that they completely lose sight, so they can only turn a blind eye to the above.

It's kind of boring to sit like that.

Seeing that Ademisol had calmed down, Esther tried to communicate with him: "Is your name Ademisor?" ”

The young man nodded shyly, raising his hand to rub his tear-dripping eyes.

"Have you been here for a long time?"

"Hmm."

"Are your eyes better?"

"Light, it hurts, but it's beautiful......"

Most of Esther's questions were "um" or shaking her head, or "I don't know", "I don't remember", and she didn't expect to know anything useful, but Ademisall did calm down a lot during the conversation, and if it weren't for the fact that his eyes were red and swollen from tears, he would now look like a normal passerby.

In the end, Esther didn't know what to ask, she emptied her head and casually hummed the pop song she had heard in her previous life, "Like a prison"*, and as long as she didn't read the lyrics, no one knew what kind of "otherworldly tune" would be in her mouth.

Ademisore tilted his head to stare at her, and Esther's humming seemed to him with a strange magic, and in his own unconsciousness he already had a peaceful smile on his face, as if he were in a sweet dream.

When Ademisor suddenly hummed along with the melody, Esther was startled and almost jumped up from the ground.

"You know this song!?"

"No, it's light," Ademisore pointed to Esther's brow, "the tone of light, to hear, see, feel the call of light." ”

Esther barely sorted out the fragmented words from Ademisor's mouth: "What did the light tell you? ”

"You are singing, the light is singing, it is chaotic, directing the chaotic light ......"

Esther rubbed her right eyebrow, feeling that she had not established any communication with Ademisole, and he looked rather confused.

Forget it, it doesn't matter if someone hums the tune together anyway, with this in mind, Esther asked, "Then do you still want to sing?" ”

"The light can sing, I, feel it, follow it."

Esther really wanted to know what Ademisol saw in herself, but he couldn't give any answer except "light", which made people helpless.

Old Neil had rushed back first, still holding a small tin can in his hand, and he squeezed through the sudden crowd of people in the vicinity in a daze, and heard the faint tune.

The corner where Esther and Ademisol were staying was almost surrounded by a crowd, and there were a lot of people stopping at the vendors outside the two of them, all of whom unconsciously stayed nearby because they liked something, or were curious about what they were selling, and before they knew it, a dozen people had gathered.

Old Neil's spiritual instincts were touched, and he immediately shouted, "Esther! ”

The tune came to an abrupt end, and the people nearby turned their heads at the same time to look at the old Neil who had spoken out, with a little half-asleep chaos in their eyes, but soon they were doing their own things again, as if nothing had happened, and the crowd that had gathered just now gradually dispersed.

Old Neil's spiritual intuition regained its calm, and he breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't understand what was going on, but he had to tell the captain about it as soon as possible.

Esther beckoned to old Neil, who handed her the medicine jar: "Just wipe this thing on your eyes, it may be a little cold in your eyes, you can take the rest yourself." ”

"I'll teach him how to use it, he probably needs this more than I do."

Old Neil muttered in his heart, Ademisol has been crazy for a day or two, can preaching be taught?

However, to his shock, Ademisol was really unusually obedient, and after Esther gestured to his face, Ademisol followed her instructions and learned to apply ointment to his eyes, and there was no communication barrier between the two.

Esther placed the jar in Ademisor's hand, and the young "monster" grabbed the corner of her coat and looked at her with pleading eyes.

"I'm not going to stay here."

"Yes, the light flows, it's incredible, it's wonderful."

Esther frowned, "I can try to help you find a more effective eye medicine, if you need it." ”

"The favor of light, give, and receive...... I heard, it's a cycle of light. ”

"You...... Never mind. ”

Esther finally gave up communication and walked over to old Neil's thoughtful eyes.

"Thank you for the ointment, Mr. Neil. Shall we go to Klein? Or is it just waiting for him? ”

Old Neil returned the remaining ten souls to Esther: "Let's go find him, it's not that big here, he should be gone." ”

Soon, the two found Crane, and together they left the Dragon Bar and left the docklands in a horse-drawn carriage. At Neil's insistence, he and Esther returned to the Black Thorn Security Company on Zotland Street, while Crane took a horse-drawn carriage to Daffodil Street and went back to the Moretti family's newly moved house.

As soon as old Neil returned, he went to Dunn's office, and told Esther to rest early, and Esther grabbed a handful of salt-roasted peanuts from the closet in the nightwatchman's lounge, and went back to the stone house behind his Chanis Gate.

"Anomalies?"

"Yes, Esther herself doesn't seem to be aware. Truth be told, she didn't do anything at the time except humming to Ademisor. Could it be Ademisol's problem? ”

Dunn recalled the young man's relevant information: "Could it be related to the sequence of 'monsters'? No, I'm afraid it's because Ademisore is too inspired, and he sees something about Esther's essence that he is attracted to her. ”

Old Neil recalls the strange scene: "The people in the neighborhood didn't feel it at all, they heard the singing, but they didn't realize that they were attracted to the singing. There are even two of the vendors who are truly extraordinary, Sequence Nine, and I know them. ”

"I will report this to the Templars and they will decide if they want to take action. Esther had recently stayed in the company to get her as close as possible to Chanisgate so that it wouldn't happen again in crowded situations. ”

Seeing that Dunn had made a decision, Old Neil was about to take his leave, today was not his duty day, and he was counting on going home early to do what he had planned.

"Wait a minute."

Okay, the captain has an old problem. Old Neil turned, waiting for Dunn's next words.

Dunn had his pipe in his hand, but he never lit a fire in the company, just stuffed it with tobacco and took two puffs: "Don't mention this to Esther directly, and don't talk to Klein about it, she's been getting too close to Crane lately." It's best to leave it as it is. ”

"Of course, I'll watch them more." Old Neil said with a smile, this time he was not in a hurry to leave.

"By the way, one more thing, tomorrow the parish of Beckland will escort Seal 2-049 over, and they will assist in the mission to track down the notebook. I'll take Klein with me then, but I'll trouble you to drag Esther in the arsenal and find her something to do. ”

Old Neil looked regretful: "Do you need to break her up like this?" Given Esther's ability to suppress seals, it should be right for her to carry 2-049? ”

Dunn hesitated, but quickly regained his determined gaze, "It has to be like this." After Esther's unusual behavior, we can't let her go on a dangerous mission anymore. If Esther gets out of control during the mission, it's ...... for everyone else"

Dunn didn't say the whole thing, but Old Neil understood what he meant—everyone else would only be doomed.

"I know, I'll find some less important literature for her to study, she has always been like this, and it's easy to ignore the outside world when she is focused."

Dunn nodded on the table, "They'll arrive around noon, and I'll ask Esther to bring over a dragon document that needs to be translated." All you have to do is hold Esther for half an hour or so, and we'll take a carriage to track down the missing Riel Bieber. ”

"In other words, you don't know where you're going to go, and it's impossible for Esther to follow."

"That's the whole arrangement, according to the plan, 2-049 will lead us to the descendant of the House of Antigonus."

"This process can be dangerous, and there have been people from the Esoteric Order who have targeted Klein before, and it cannot be ruled out that they have similar methods to trace the past...... Doesn't Esther really need to be involved? ”

Dunn had already made up his mind: "I'll bring Leonard with me, and the people from the diocese of Beckland are all Sequence Seven and Sequence Eight companions." If it weren't for the fact that Klein might have had a special sense of that notebook, I wouldn't have risked taking him with me. ”

Old Neil sighed, "Well, he can fill the void where you need auxiliaries. Even if Klein has a rough grasp of the basics, he is far inferior to you in frontal combat. ”

Dunn nodded solemnly: "There are always things that have to be done, and we can only be extremely careful. Other than that, there shouldn't be anything else. ”

Old Neil waved his hand and walked out of Dunn's office hunched over, his back looking full of embarrassment.

Dunn stared at the unfinished telegram in front of him, snorting his pipe vigorously, letting a hint of tobacco smell roll into his nose.

He touched the braided rope in his arms that was used as a keychain, and silently said "sorry" to Esther in his heart.

——

"Due to the poor state of the 'Special Presence', Dunn Smith, as the captain of the Tingen Nightwatch, forfeited letting him follow, and did not allow him to participate in this extremely dangerous mission. However, this move of stability just happened to put them in the worst situation, and Klein Moretti, as a member of the Sequence Nine mission, was naturally the victim who took the biggest risk. ”

The man holding the quill let out a sneer.
