Chapter 27: Spiritual Guidance

Esther had been keeping an eye on the field, and she had seen a Bakeland night watchman groping his way through the flesh and blood of the ruins, a fist-sized mass of gray and white objects.

It looks delicious.

This was the idea that Esther had come up with.

Then she couldn't help but retch at her thoughts, and the brain-like ash was found from the monster's corpse! Why did she think to eat it!?

Esther breathed a long sigh of relief, worried about whether she was really going to lose control, and it was not okay to go on like this...... She must cheer up! At the beginning, he promised Deacon Crestai that he would help the Tingen Night Watch team.

Despite this, she stared at the mass of the object with reluctance, until it was received into the tin box of cigarettes, completely cutting out Esther's sight.

"Small snacks, ......"

Esther muttered weakly, uttering out the words that had unconsciously occurred in her mind.

"What snack?"

Leonard handed over a piece of chocolate, which made Esther's eyes widen: "Wow, why are you so caring?" Are you still the Leonard I knew? ”

The corners of Leonard's mouth twitched: "The captain asked me to send it here." ”

Esther took the chocolate, happily unwrapped the outer package, and threw the broken chocolate chunk into her mouth: "Thank you! Thank you, Captain Dunn, and thank you! ”

"Captain, they will escort the seal and the notebook back first, let you stay here with me, and he will ask Luo Yao and them to contact the police and bring someone over to deal with the scene."

"It's okay, I'll stay here with you, no one will come."

"How do you know?"

Esther just giggled with chocolate in her mouth and didn't answer the question.

"Okay, you say yes," Leonard shook his head and pointed to Klein, who was following the captain, as he watched them get into the carriage with their things, "What do you think of that kid?" ”

"Kind, gentle."

Leonard was not satisfied with the answer: "That's it? Finished? Is there a more serious answer? ”

Esther, of course, is serious: "It's good to play the emotional card. On the surface, he is very sensible, but he is not very good at rejecting others, and it is easy to be a good person. At critical moments, accidents are very adaptable, and there is a heart full of suppressed feelings. ”

"You know it's not that kind of general stuff that I want to ask." Leonard gestured with his hands, hoping that Esther would give another answer.

Esther's eyes became wandering: "Then, the family background is not very good?" ”

She really wanted to say that "a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way", but it was very strange to express it in Rune, and Esther was not sure whether Russell the Great had quoted this sentence, so she simply changed the way of description.

And it's not easy to make money these days, who doesn't like gold pounds? Esther herself likes it!

Leonard sighed and sat lazily on the broken wall next to Esther: "Forget it, it's a huge mistake to think of asking you......"

Esther looked at Leonard for a while, and suddenly a sentence came out: "Then what do you think of him?" ”

"He's got a big secret! Very serious kind! ”

Disdain appeared in Esther's eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about, you will have a secret if you drag anyone from the street." Right now, do you have any secrets? ”

Leonard kept his mouth shut, he had never been able to speak to Esther, and he didn't want to admit that he was weak-hearted.

It was the old voice in Leonard's head that laughed twice, as if full of appreciation for Esther's rebuttal.

β€”β€”

Esther returned to Blackthorn Security later on, and after Dunn suggested "get an early break", she returned to Chanismen in silence.

Maybe it is true that you need to get some sleep to get out of today's mood.

The murmur came from the place where the seal was stored in the depths of the hallway, and Esther knew that it was the note, and she stopped in the hallway for more than ten seconds, finally giving up the idea of bothering it.

It's not in line, and now that Dunn has started to distrust me, I shouldn't make them feel like I'm a bigger threat. Anyway, after closing the stone door, there are symbols outside the door that continue to gather the power of the night, and those annoying noises will soon be cut off.

Thinking so, Esther walked into her stone house, looked through the book of prehistoric legends and tales in her hand, and quickly skimmed the book aside and burrowed into the bed.

That night, Esther slept restlessly, her dreams more like fragments of some kind of visualization, and the laughing dragon cast an eerie gaze and then disillusioned.

When Esther woke up, she felt a dull pain in her head again.

She slowed down for a long time before she got up from bed, feeling sick and tired.

Speaking of which, it seems that she has never been sick since she came to this world, is this also a golden finger?

Asther thought wildly, sat on the bed for a long time, and heard the footsteps and voices outside the door fade away, and she realized that there were many people passing by, and she had taken the particularly "noisy" seal with her.

What notes are coming from? Esther thought about it, as if no one had ever told her what it was.

Esther wrapped herself in a quilt and sat against the cold wall, silently calming her emotions, for some reason, her uneasiness became clearer and clearer, like a noose, tightening on her neck little by little.

This made her think that she should leave the Tingen Night Watch team, but when Esther noticed this change in mentality, the idea that she didn't belong to her disappeared in an instant.

Is there an outside force influencing me?

Esther could only guess that she had no evidence and that it was the first time she had encountered such a mysterious situation. Because Dunn was wary of her, Esther couldn't speak openly to him for help.

When Esther felt at peace, she opened her pocket watch and looked at it, only to realize that it was already afternoon.

She took the little bug with her, tidied up her appearance, and then walked out and knocked on the door of Dunn's office.

"It's Esther, what's wrong?"

"I want to go out, eat and go for a walk, and I don't necessarily come back when."

Dunn hesitated for a few seconds, not finding a reason to refuse: "Okay, then you go, pay attention to safety." ”

"Okay captain." Esther smiled and closed the door.

After greeting Roxanne, she stepped into the bright afternoon sun.

Esther didn't have a precise destination, and after getting into the tram, she leaned against the window and looked out in a daze, until she got off Vlad Street with a thought. Esther only remembered that it seemed to be the East Side, and it was under the purview of the punisher team, so she barely visited.

Today, however, had nothing to do with the task, as Esther wandered the streets leisurely, picked a cafΓ© that seemed to be cheaper, and filled her stomach with scones, butter-baked potatoes, and fresh fish soup, feeling quite satisfied.

It didn't taste great, of course, but it was enough for Esther, who loved good food but could also eat anything.

As Esther continued to wander around, her spiritual instincts were suddenly struck and she let herself go in that direction, stepping into a shop that smelled of herbs.

This reminded Esther of the Chinese medicine hall she had visited in her previous life, she didn't hate the smell of it, maybe because she hadn't smelled it for too long, she took a deep breath and distinguished the smell of various medicinal herbs.

Of course, most of them didn't know her, and she wasn't an herbalist or a physician.

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man with a round face, his short black hair was finely groomed, and his black robe was embroidered with all kinds of strange symbols, dressed like those witch doctors with strange abilities in legends, but his thick figure made him look more calm.

The boss looked up and looked at Esther strangely.

Asther didn't speak, and the two of them just looked at each other and were silent for more than ten seconds.

There was no point in such a stalemate, so the man had to speak first: "You are not sick?" ”

It's like swearing.

Esther's brow jumped: "This is a herb shop?" ”

The man touched his chin and looked back at Esther suspiciously, "You don't look blind. ”

Esther walked over to the counter and looked at the display cases stuffed with herbs, "I want to think about it...... What I need is, 'monster', have you heard? ”

The man's eyes widened, but soon he pretended not to understand again: "If you need it, I can call a rental carriage for you, the nearest regular hospital is only three blocks away." ”

As if because he felt that what he said was not clear enough, the man nodded his temple: "I think they also have a doctor in charge of this." Or maybe you want to go to the more famous Greenhel ......"

Esther had heard the name of Greenher's insane asylum, but she was not provoked, for she had unexpectedly felt the man's "kindness", except that his wording made it tempting to punch him in the face: "I wonder if you are interested in incomplete 'monsters'." If you're not interested, you can let me know. ”

"An incomplete 'monster'?" The man's expression finally became serious, his hand fell under his neck, and he felt the amulet he was wearing continuously emitting abnormal heat, "What the hell are you from?" ”

"In the underground market of the Dragon Bar, there's a place calledβ€”"

Before Esther could finish speaking, the man seemed to be burned by something, and he suddenly raised his hands and waved violently: "Wait, wait! I didn't promise you to do this! Please don't say any more! ”

Esther closed her mouth helplessly, she was afraid that if she continued to speak, the man would scream.

"I don't know what 'monster' you're talking about," the man gritted his teeth, his heart struggling, "if you, I mean, I can't help you......"

Esther didn't speak, just stood there smiling. But for some reason, the man who met her peaceful gaze felt his eyelids jump wildly, and he subconsciously stepped back and slumped in his chair. The amulet in the collar burned painfully, and seemed to threaten the man to make a quick decision, and the man did not dare to touch it, but became more and more afraid under Esther's gaze.

There is a big problem with this lady...... If I don't tell her, I'm afraid I'm going to die here, and I'm going to get out!

In fact, Esther can't do anything with men, and if he really doesn't say it, she can only leave.

But by chance, misunderstandings can also be a layer of luck, and Esther has always been very lucky.

The man was like a leaky balloon, deflated and nestled in a chair: "I know! It's for you, it's for you! I don't care what happens - why should I care if a half-hung person dies! ”

The man didn't know if he was making excuses for his cowardice, or if he was demonstrating in order not to show his cowardice, trying to cheer himself up. But Esther felt his "kindness" again, and this man with a poisonous mouth probably didn't realize that what he said was the truth.

Esther's smile deepened: "Thank you very much. ”
