Esther lay in the stone house, silent, even the sound of her heartbeat almost swallowed up by the silence that perpetually filled the place.

She didn't know how long she had been staring at the ceiling, a throbbing pain suddenly burst from her head, she subconsciously curled up, pressed her forehead against the cold hard wall, but it didn't work, the pain of the head almost bursting from the inside out, made her desperately clasp her fingers on her head.

Thin golden dots of light floated above her head, swirling wildly in the darkness, encircling her in a disorderly and chaotic manner.

After a few minutes, as soon as the pain subsided, Esther reached for the switch of the lampshade, allowing the faint blue candlelight to illuminate the room.

There was a little blood in her fingernails, and Esther touched her head, gasping from the wound, and before she knew it, she had pulled blood out of her head.

What just now?

The pain came and went as quickly as it came, but it was so intense that it was like a part of Esther's soul had been plucked out of Esther's mind. She could sense that someone was in danger, but her current state was so precarious that she couldn't even tell who was in trouble just now.

This kind of overly painful feedback is unprecedented, is it Klein? It's the handful of hair I gave him earlier!

Esther remembered the extra gift she had given to her fellow countryman, and she sat against the wall in trepidation, her hands wrenched together with nervousness. What is it that makes you so nervous that a handful of hair is touched? Esther didn't know, either.

She couldn't do anything but sit in the cold stone house and wait, and her state wasn't even enough to support her to bled and draw the "Infinity Symbol". Without Dunn's permission, Esther couldn't use the seal herself, and now she probably couldn't even sense where the captain was.

Again, a long, anxious and hopeless wait......

Esther was slightly stunned, why did she feel "again"?

The dark silence was attached to the back of her hand, and since suppressing Old Neil's loss of control, Esther felt that the extraordinary power around her had become clearer, such as now, she could clearly feel the pattern of Chanisman's power pouring into her stone door, and then falling on her in a steady stream.

Esther buried her face in her palms, trying not to cry herself.

She didn't cry, she just wrapped herself in the quilt, leaned against the stone wall and closed her eyes, and fell into a sleep as silent as death.

The little bug poked its head out of Esther's nested handkerchief, and it sensed that the repressive power in its body was weakening day by day, which made it surprised and wondered why Esther had weakened to this point. The self-repair of the point of light to absorb the power of fate is interrupted again and again by external factors.

Someone is targeting her, cutting her power.

This way of hiding behind the stage and manipulating the plot is familiar to the little bug, but the light cocoon around it cuts off all possibilities for it to stay away from Esther.

Maybe when Esther died, she would die with her, and the little bug rolled up her handkerchief and covered herself tightly.

It doesn't matter.,Anyway, it's just a sequence of seven doppelgangers.,It's a pity that I can't report this strange fate to the body.,Otherwise, it's more interesting to let the body be yin by her.。

——

No matter what happens in the night, a new day will come as scheduled, and the sun will still fulfill its duty of hanging in the sky, keeping the dark starry sky out of its own glory.

Esther knocked on the door of Dunn's office, but it took several minutes before a particularly helpless voice came out: "Don't stand, come in." ”

Pulling open the door, Dunn's pipe was in a daze, and Esther stared sadly at the tabletop, where there were several broken silver strands and an auspicious knot dyed blood-red, the original warm orange and pearl white threads were completely unrecognizable.

Esther shuddered, it was the braided knot she had given to Kornley, it wasn't broken, but it was almost soaked in blood, and Esther couldn't tell if the rust on the tip of her nose was real or if she was too nervous to fantasize.

"Looks like you recognize it. He's alive, but he's in bad shape. Because of the witch's black flames, the right half of his body," Dunn's left hand went down from his right shoulder down to his wrist, "and it was almost burned through. Your auspicious knot was stuck to the black flames, so we didn't notice it fall out and bubble like this when we had an emergency amputation. ”

He ...... Kornley, he's still alive? ”

It took a long time for Dunn to say "um".

He had thought that Esther would be upset, and had even prepared a draft on how to comfort Esther, who was breaking down and crying, but Esther's performance surprised Dunn, and she only let out a long sigh of relief when she heard that Kornley was still alive.

"At least he's alive, at least ......" Esther's eyes did welled up with tears, "I'm sorry, Captain, if I could-"

Dunn held up a hand and interrupted what Esther was about to say, "When you feel guilty about this, I'm the one who really needs to apologize." You weren't meant to be the night watchman, but I've allowed you to participate in our mission, exposing you to the rather pathetic side of the extraordinary world. ”

The office was silent for a few seconds, and Dunn spoke again, "I'm sorry for always making you pay for responsibilities that don't belong to you, you've given enough, Esther." Thank you very much for guarding the Tingen Night Watch Squad. ”

Dunn's eyes were so sincere that Esther couldn't find the words to say, and she shook her head in confusion, unable to utter a word.

"And this," Dunn pushed the broken strands of hair forward, "and that's the biggest key to saving Cohenley's life, helping him completely block the curse in the mirror." This was given to me by Klein, and when I saw the light float out of him, I thought you had followed him without permission, and I was quite frightened. ”

Esther chuckled dryly, rather reluctantly.

"Anyway, we all came back alive, thank you for your good luck. Even when you weren't with us, you helped us at that time. ”

Esther looked away aside, not daring to meet Dunn's gaze, "But I could have done more, Captain." I wonder if the Templar mentions my abilities? I also want to seek promotions. ”

Dunn shook his head, "It's impossible, Esther. As you know, seals can't increase their power anymore, they're solidified. ”

As if sensing the inappropriateness of his statement, Dunn quickly spoke again: "Of course, this is just a metaphor, but your situation is indeed special. ”

"Well, I've thought of that answer as well," Esther suddenly smiled at Dunn, as if she had lifted some kind of burden, "I'll have to recover first anyway." Since I can't be promoted, then I'll find a way to control the power I have. ”

Dunn's uneasiness was rising, but he didn't show it, but looked back at Esther with relief: "I'm glad you see it that way. There is still a long way to go, so there is no need to rush it. Extraordinary power is always dangerous, and you should be cautious about it, even if it is your own, especially if it is too great. ”

A word popped into Esther's mind: "Chaos." ”

"What?" Dunn didn't hear clearly, and he looked at Esther suspiciously.

"Ah, it's okay, I'm going to find Rosan, I hope she made tea this morning, not coffee."

Esther's smile disappeared as soon as she closed the office door, and she walked to the arsenal with a blank face, and walked straight inside without even knocking on the door.

To Esther's surprise, she didn't see Janet, who was supposed to be on duty here today, the new civilian girl some time ago, and it was Leonard who was sitting behind the desk.

After seeing Leonard, Esther turned out almost immediately, but Leonard stopped her: "What are you running?" Why have you been avoiding me for the past two days? ”

The corners of Esther's mouth twitched, "Well, I did avoid you. Isn't it normal to be afraid of someone else's secret? ”

Leonard's emerald green eyes were full of disgust: "It's been so many months, it's hard to tell who has more secrets on you or me!" I've always found you weirder! ”

Esther leaned against the door frame, staying in a position where she could turn away at any moment: "Then I'm sluggish, I'm starting to get scared now, can't I?" ”

"What else would you be afraid of? Except for black coffee. ”

"I'm not afraid of black coffee! I just don't like bitterness! ”

Leonard raised his eyebrows, and "snorted" twice: "Your attitude is finally normal now." What the hell have been going on with you these two days? Isn't it just hair falling out! There's nothing wrong with white hair, you can see Siga. ”

Hair loss? What did Luo Yao tell them?

Esther rubbed her right eye socket in annoyance: "I don't dare to approach you because I always feel a little ...... in you"

Leonard's face changed, he subconsciously raised his arm and sniffed his sleeve, and then stared at Esther suspiciously: "It's not smelly." I have several shirts of the same style, but I just wear them instead. ”

"It's not! It's something else. It's as if you've hidden something delicious. ”

Leonard dug into his pocket and threw two toffees on the table: "This?" If you want to eat it, take it. ”

Esther shook her head violently, and then swallowed: "It's not this either!" I think it's something else that might help me recover better, so I don't want to have too much contact with you. ”

Leonard scratched his head blankly, making his already loose black hair even more messy: "What else do I have-"

His voice stopped abruptly, tilting his head as if listening to something, and did not hide his strangeness in front of Esther.

Then Leonard looked at Esther in shock, and relayed the words to her as the voice in his head had instructed him just now: "The old man said that if you really want to recover quickly, you can do so by eating the extraordinary properties of the current sequence...... Is this something that people can do? Don't you need to take any potions!? ”

Esther narrowed her eyes: "Then you help me, thank you for this old man?" My current sequence ......"

Leonard listened for more than ten seconds before he hesitated and said slowly: "Your current sequence is the 'thief' path, and you are already the 'decryption scholar' of sequence seven. The old man doesn't know why your fate is so chaotic, and the fate of those who are involved with you are constantly distorted. Ah, he also said......"

Leonard was silent for a few seconds, staring at Esther strangely.

Esther was a little dazed: "What else did he say?" ”

"The old man said thank you for not eating?"

Esther didn't hold back, coughed violently, and when she finally caught her breath, she waved her hand and quickly left here: "It should be, it should be, I don't think I can really stutter anyone......"
