Chapter 50: She Was Terrified
Everything was quiet today, but every time she thought about what happened to Kornley, Esther's heart was still cold. This coldness almost soaked her, and her feelings were like a water bottle that had been smashed open with a gap, and it was constantly draining out.
The date of Kornley's engagement had already been set, but now, everything is unknown, his fiancΓ©e may not abandon him, but Kornley is lying in the hospital, and his physical disability will stay with him for the rest of his life. The couple will have to face pressure from their elders in the future, and their future is uncertain.
It's too powerless.
Esther sat on the sofa in the reception hall, her head resting on the back of the sofa, slanting to listen to Roshan's professional review of "The Return of the Count" on "The Drama Vanguard".
When Leonard left Blackthorn Security, he said hello to the two. However, he walked in a hurry, obviously in the middle of a mission, and he didn't know what he was looking after.
"Roshan, are you going to see 'The Count' Returns?"
"I'm definitely going! It's going to be the talk of the town in our neighborhood for weeks, and we can't talk about it if we don't go. But I didn't have to book the tickets myself, I negotiated with Mrs. Philip, and she would buy the same one for us. β
"That's ......"
Roshan was in high spirits: "Does Esther want to see it too?" I can get Mrs. Philip to refund my ticket and go with you at another time!" β
Esther yawned lazily, "Ha-ah, I'll talk about it later, I'm afraid I'll fall asleep halfway through, it would be rude." β
Worry naturally appeared on Luo Shan's face: "That's right, I'll talk about it when you get better." I can accompany you to see it again, this show is a big hit in Beckland! β
In the evening, when Esther helped bring dinner to everyone, she found that Klein had also come today, and he was on duty at Chanis Gate early in the morning, and he would not be able to change shifts until the early hours of the morning. Because of the successive accidents, there was a shortage of night watchmen, and Leonard took over the task of investigating Lanerus, so he went out.
"Ah, thank you Esther. By the way, I almost forgot about this for you. Klein looked a little haggard, he didn't seem to have slept well last night, and there was a faint shadow under his eyes, but he still showed a very sincere smile when he saw Esther.
Klein pulled out a paper bag from his bosom, and Esther opened a corner to find a four-leaf clover inside, "This is- where did you get that!?" β
"Mrs. Sharon's house. Maybe the four-leaf clover can also be used as a casting material, and he agreed to give it to me after I told the captain. β
"Thank you so much! I didn't expect you to think about it, I almost forgot about it. β
Klein shook his head: "There's been so much going on lately, and we're all too busy to take care of ourselves. β
Esther patted Klein on the shoulder, "I really don't know how to thank you for your goodness, is it okay to have a gold pound?" β
Klein thought back to Esther's poor little coffer, who wasn't much richer than he was, "Forget it. Everyone is the destitute class, so let's not talk about money. It's too hurtful, it's not good to hurt each other again. β
Both of them were silent for a few seconds, then smiled again, and Esther weighed the fluttering paper bag in her hand, "But I also have to hand this thing over to the captain." I've already given him all the recipes and materials I've collected, and I can't let Ademisol directly become a black extraordinary, that will only hurt him. β
Klein nodded approvingly: "In comparison, the official Extraordinaire is indeed safer. Otherwise, in the blink of an eye, Ademisor is gone, and the owner of the Dragon Bar will be in trouble with us. I did a little research, and Ademisor's mother died at birth, and Ademisol seemed to be the child of Svein's friend, who had met a great pirate after a sea outing, and was never heard from. β
"That's really embarrassing, maybe this is fate."
"But Ademisor, the situation is getting more and more normal now, you helped him, right?"
Esther graciously admitted, "yes, it was actually quite risky, and I don't know what to expect." β
"Sometimes it feels like you're more messy than I am." Crane sat on a chair and lifted the lid of the dinner soup, and the rich creamy aroma filled the room in an instant, "Today's dinner is so rich?" I remember the cheapest meal I could ever ask for. β
Esther blinked, "Ahem, then I'll go first!" I'm going to eat too! β
She seemed to have served the wrong tray, and it was her share of dinner. But it doesn't matter, just let the restless Crane eat something good, Esther wants this and apple pie for dessert, he should like it.
It seemed that the fellow was not as depressed as he thought, which made Esther breathe a sigh of relief.
After handing over the four-leaf clover to the captain, the sense of accomplishment in Esther's heart dispelled the depression of this time slightly.
The recent extraordinary events were too frequent for the night watchers to relax for a moment, especially since Crane and Dunn were so affected that Esther instinctively worried about their condition. Just because she's not a normal extraordinary, doesn't mean she's unaware of how terrible the eternal danger of "getting out of control" is for an extraordinary.
Old Neil's experience was there, and Esther didn't dare to leave anything to chance, she didn't know if she could use the "infinity symbol" again, if a similar situation happened again......
Can't think about it anymore.
I don't know why, but lately Esther has always been full of intense worries, and bad premonitions are piling up in her heart like snowflakes.
Just wait for the moment to erupt.
ββ
Esther dreamed again.
This time in her dreams, she lost her movable body again, and she seemed to be a camera from above, watching indifferently and faithfully everything that happened, but it was not quite what she remembered.
A capable middle-aged man with short brown and red hair walked out of the "Condor Bar", he brushed two handfuls of hairspray-coated hair, and a monocle on his right eye was constantly reflecting on itself. After surveying the streets, the man brushed the dust and wrinkles from his suit, smiled and walked into the shadows of Iron Cross Street, heading in the direction of the steam station.
The drunken, bearded man stood on the edge of the dock, yelling at a few young sailors, and then waving his unscathed right hand, stepped onto the deck of the Alfalfa in exasperation, followed by several people, including a familiar round-faced young man.
The alley behind Sling's bakery was covered with blood, and several children trapped in the corner did not wait for rescue to fall from the sky, and Brick, who had turned into a monster, completely lost his mind, and in the screams of horror and despair, the blood continued to flow down the water mouth, like the crimson full moon being spread on the ground.
Ms. Daly was not transferred to Beckland, but to the port of Emmat; Holly South Street, after fighting the cold-blooded killer, several members of the Night Watch team suffered many injuries on their bodies, and they narrowly and narrowly dealt with him; Ademisore wept blood as he stared at Klein, and he hid in a corner in terror, enduring a moment of madness that did not wake up or ease......
And the result of more things has not changed much, as if fate is dismantling the light veil on its body layer by layer, depicting Esther's small footprints little by little, showing her the scars that Esther has cut, and letting Esther review the cause and effect derived from her own body - fate is telling Esther: "Even without you, things have their own trajectory." β
If it weren't for the fact that she had lost her body again at this moment, Esther would have been trembling.
But the process doesn't stop because of Esther's many thoughts, and she is forced to stay in the perspective of a bystander, continuing to witness these scattered fates.
Esther saw the "Muppet of Doom" leaning out of the crack in the door and displaying strange symbols to Crane, and in the small town of Ramder, Dunn took Crane and Frye through the badge to defeat the Black Knight unscathed.
There was also the loss of control that Old Neil had not been reversed, the muzzle of the gun raised by Dunn and Luo Yao together, the two silver demon hunting bullets that terminated the runaway, and Crane's trembling and stiff hands.
In the midst of old Neil's pleas to everyone, the only head that still had his human appearance was pierced, and his old, familiar face was full of despair.
Enough, enough already, I don't want to look any further! Old Neil didn't die, I managed to save him! These are all fake! Fart! I don't want to look at it! I've had enough!
Esther wanted to shout angrily, but she had no mouth and no sound, and was forced to be tied to this illusory camera, watching everyone walk into Raphael's cemetery dressed in black, the black coffin into the grave, and Roshan with a white flower on her head crying.
The people of Blackthorn Security drew a crimson moon on their chests and sent their final wishes to their colleague and friend: "May the goddess bless you." β
Klein put down the sleeping flower in his hand, and he looked at the epitaph under the black and white photo of Old Neil, so Esther also looked over:
"If you can't save her, go and accompany her."
Asther empathized with the despair of everyone present, her anger faded in favor of fear, and because she understood the scene so well, she didn't want to look into the future.
In the line of fate without her existence, it is all that must happen, and at this moment, she seems to be standing in Raphael's cemetery, crying with Roxanne, staring at the picture with a calm expression on the tombstone with Klein, and mourning in silence with everyone.
Why are you letting me see this? I've β I've changed all that!
The scene changed again, a beautiful lady was sitting on a chaise longue, and Kornley at the door turned the seal "Psychic Mirror" over with his backhand and aimed it at the beautiful lady.
At Klein's warning, the woman's figure distorted and blurred, turning into a full-length mirror, from which Kornley looked directly at Seal 3-0271 and saw his own reflection in the mirror.
In the midst of a tense and fierce battle between Crane and the lady, Kornley suddenly rose from the ground again, allowing the woman's black flame and frost spear to penetrate his body without taking any damage.
But after the lady performed the mirror spell, Kornley let out a scream, and blood and organs flew out from between his lips and teeth and spilled all over the ground.
No, the captain told me that Kornley, Kornley, he was only badly injured, he was indeed burned by the black flame, but he's, he's still ......
They're all alive, right?
Esther almost couldn't think anymore, she only hoped that this "dream" would end as soon as possible.
