Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Strange Neighbor's Extraordinary Suspicion

Esther made her way up to the sixth floor, where the hallway was not filled with greenery like the other floors, except for an empty ceramic vase directly below the window. Outside the window, the sky had darkened, and I could catch a glimpse of the orange and purple sunset in the distance, emitting the last bit of light through the foggy dust.

As Esther pointed the key at the doorknob, she felt a silent gaze, and she subconsciously looked towards the door of 602 across the hallway.

It was pitch black in the crack of the door, and the owner of the house had closed all the curtains, except for a bloodshot red eye peeking out of the crack in the door, wide open in the blurry dusk of the hallway, staring at Esther.

Then the door slowly shut, and the bloodshot and crazy eyes disappeared into the cracks, as if they had never appeared, only a brief hallucination of Esther.

The chill in Esther's back quickly subsided, but her spiritual instincts didn't move, as if she didn't take this glance seriously at all.

Esther turned the doorknob and walked into No. 603, her heart beating faster, but also quickly analyzing the situation, since the perception in her mind did not appear a warning, then even if the other party was a threat, it was very small. And Mrs. Romano allowed him to live here, perhaps because there was someone else behind this man who made a guarantee for him. Esther sensed the fluctuations coming from his room, and it was clearly some kind of extraordinary power.

Beckland's extraordinaire seems to be much more outstanding, and I'm afraid that he can't just throw a brick at him.

But that Richie is really not very reliable, this is what he said about the gentleman next door 602 "has a rather gentle personality"?

If the gentleman on the other side really has a big problem, Esther also has enough ability to "resolve disputes", whether she is arrogant or from the heart, she has a high trust in her spiritual intuition.

Esther shook her head, looking at the room that would be her own for two weeks, and she couldn't move out until she had saved up enough money, and Mrs. Romano's contract was non-refundable.

As soon as she stepped inside, Esther locked the door with her backhand.

The room was much more spacious than Esther had imagined, with a simple and plain furnishing, a landscape painting hanging on the whitewashed walls, a half-length mirror by the door, a bamboo-colored bed facing the window, pillowcases embroidered with large clusters of azaleas, a closet with double doors, a writing desk and wooden chairs, a low table of one square meter, and a low sofa. Because the room is decorated with light-colored furniture, the atmosphere of the whole room is light and bright.

Esther passed in front of the bust mirror and was surprised to find that her face seemed to be two years older, completely free from the immaturity of the Tingen period, but ...... It seems that nothing has changed at all.

Walking to the window facing Lily of the Valley Street in front of her, Esther could see the pedestrians strolling down the street from a bird's-eye view, most of them walking in the direction of home with the fatigue of the day, and there were also couples or children holding hands, which was peaceful.

A horse-drawn carriage passed through the middle of the wide road, the sound of hooves kicking forward.

The little five in his pocket twisted his body, and Esther reached out and took it out.

"What about that guy?"

"Gone. After I mentioned that I don't know which sentence. ”

Xiao Wu shook his head: "What did you say at the time?" ”

Esther repeated the topic of the time, about the silver-haired youth and the glowing lark.

Xiao Wu was also silent for a moment, but didn't say anything, just threw down the sentence "I have to sleep a little longer", and got up again. Esther couldn't tell if a translucent bug was really sleeping, so she could only put Xiao Wu back in her coat pocket, take off her coat and hang it on the back of the chair.

She sat down on the low couch herself, rubbing her right brow lightly, thinking about what to do next. There's still a lot to buy, not to mention the fact that three meals a day are expenses, so she might consider getting back to working as a baker assistant, and there are quite a few shops on the street.

Esther was still depressed by Xiao Qi's sudden departure.

The darkness of the night came into the house, casting more shadows on Esther's face, and the road outside was brighter than the inside because the street lights were brighter.

"Knock, knock."

Someone is knocking on the door. This suddenly woke up Esther, who was napping with her eyes closed, and she didn't even pay attention to the footsteps outside the door, but didn't notice until the other party knocked on the door.

What's going on? My senses are weakened?

But Esther immediately got up and opened the door, and outside stood a man with brown and blond hair: he was not tall, with a loose vertical striped shirt and loose linen trousers, with a conspicuous flush on his cheeks, thin lips that were drawn into a line with nervousness, and the sea-blue eyes that rose from the corners of his eyes were delicate and soft, and they looked like two people at the crazy glance of horror in the crack of the door.

"Hello, I'm your neighbor."

"Good evening."

Esther's greeting was not very eager, and of course the man felt it, and he showed an apologetic and friendly smile, and there was a natural elegance on his body, which made his originally delicate appearance particularly eye-catching: "I'm Norne Murphy who lives in Six Hundred Two, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

"Luna Duboa, just call me Luna."

"Ah yes, you can call me Norn too. Before, it was at that time...... "the gentleman plucked up a lot of courage to continue," "I sometimes seem very irritable, because some of the children are really a headache. By the way, I'm a teacher at Esperi Public Elementary School on the East Side. Sorry to take the surprise out of you. ”

Esther also laughed: "I didn't see it too clearly at the time, I thought I was dazzled, but fortunately I was more courageous." ”

Although the truth is that there is no money to live anywhere else.

"But I'm still sorry, because I heard Richie say that you didn't leave after you went upstairs in the afternoon, and I took it upon myself to buy a dinner, which is my apology."

Norn raised his hand and handed the two paper bags he was carrying to Esther, Esther hesitated for a moment, took one and returned the other to Norn: "Thank you for your thoughtfulness, but I can't eat so much, you better keep this one." ”

Esther did not refuse the offer, and she did not know how long she would live in Lily of the Valley Street, and she hoped to maintain good relations with the others.

"I'm glad you didn't ask," Noun was pleasantly surprised by Esther's acceptance, he was still worried about being hostile to the new neighbor, but he didn't expect her to be so talkative, "I was supposed to come back from class this afternoon to catch up on sleep, those kids are always worrying, and I may have looked haggard at the time......"

Esther tugged at the corners of her mouth: "I can probably understand you, if you don't get enough sleep when you have a nervous breakdown, of course you can easily become irritable." ”

"It's great that you can understand, I'll go back to my room first, you just got here today, so get some rest." Norn breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye, his knuckles on the paper bag turned white, and he seemed nervous about talking to Esther.

After closing the door again and locking it, Esther sat down on the couch and opened the paper bag, from which she pulled out two jam sandwiches and puff pastry croissants, as well as a small jug of milk.

Mr. Norn was quite confident, and the contents of the other paper bag should be similar.

Esther closed her eyes and sensed in her mind for a moment, and after confirming that there was no danger in these things, she ate the croissant and milk first, leaving a jam sandwich for breakfast.

Norne Murphy, is he a wild extraordinary?

Esther was lazily munching on the sandwich, Xiao Wu basically ignored her, Xiao Qi walked so resolutely that she didn't even have someone around to discuss these things now.

And why is he so nervous? Can he perceive that I am extraordinary?

When I went upstairs, I didn't make a sound, and he didn't peek as soon as I went upstairs, but when I opened the door.

Esther shook the empty milk jug, carefully sensing the humming sound that was gradually ringing in her head, and a few points of light fell from her hair, scattered haphazardly in the room, disappearing into every corner.
