"Knock-knock-" There was a soft knock outside the door of the break room.

"Please come in." Angel, who was in a daze in the lounge on the second floor of the Black Thorn Security Company, stood up from the couch by the window, and subconsciously pressed her right hand to the hem of her skirt, only to remember that all the weapons had been handed over to the young night watchman named Leonard Mitchell.

The doorknob was twisted open, and a white-haired man in a black trench coat walked in with a wooden lunch box.

At first glance, Angel thought it was an old man, but when the visitor entered the lounge through the door, she found that under the long white hair was a female face about thirty years old, the appearance was not outstanding, but the temperament was calm and peaceful, and the black eyes gave people the feeling that they could see through everything.

"Siga Teang, Nightwatchman." The white-haired lady briefly introduced herself, "Captain, I asked me to bring you lunch. ”

The captain was the cold-faced Dunn Smith...... So that's what he said would arrange for the female night watchman to "spy on" me? Angel hurriedly greeted him and took the lunch box from Siga Teang's hand.

The box is not big, there is a piece of oatmeal bread inside, a small bowl of stewed vegetable soup, a few thin slices of bacon, the portion is not much, but there is meat and vegetables, and the match is reasonable.

The Black Thorn Security Company didn't look like it had its own kitchen, and she guessed that lunch was delivered from a nearby restaurant.

Because she didn't eat breakfast, Angel has been eating for almost a day, and her stomach is already empty except for two cups of hot water in the lounge. She didn't care about the presence of others, so she put the lunch box on the table and devoured it.

Siga Teang sat quietly on the sofa next to him, casually touching a copy of the Achowa Evening News from a few days ago, and hiding his eyes behind the newspaper.

But Angel always felt that her attention was still on herself.

The woman's body is far less than Angel's original trained appetite, although she feels hungry with her chest against her back, but after eating most of the oatmeal bread in the stew soup, she already feels eighty percent full.

After slowing down and gradually eliminating the last bit of food, she picked up the napkin under the bread and wiped her mouth and hands, and let out a sigh of contentment.

Siga Teang lowered the newspaper and glanced at the empty lunch box, her eyebrows furrowed in surprise, making Angel feel a little hot on her cheeks.

I've been hungry for almost a day, so it's reasonable to eat up a portion of food, right? Besides, this lunch is not rich, and I can kill three in one sitting......

"Where do I need to receive the lunch box?" To get rid of the embarrassment, Angel asked.

"Just leave it here, someone from the restaurant will clean it up in the afternoon." The long-haired night watchman replied with a smile, "I just think you can still have an appetite in this environment, it's very... Well, it's remarkable. ”

As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's the other party who will be embarrassed...... Angel glanced at each other and tried to change the subject.

"How many people are there in your 'security company', and I mean 'night watchmen'?" As soon as the words fell, Angel regretted that she had changed the topic too bluntly.

Siga Theon didn't care, she simply put down the newspaper, put her slender legs under the trench coat into a comfortable position, leaned back against the soft cushions of the sofa, and thought for a moment before answering:

"The combatants plus me are six, and I think you've seen some of them, plus the civilian staff for more than a dozen people."

The answer is very vague, is it afraid of revealing some secrets?

Angel silently recalled the "night watchman" he had seen, Dunn Smith, who was called the captain, Dalie Simone, who was dressed like a "psychic", young Leonard Mitchell, and Siga Teang in front of him, there were already four. I remember when he first arrived at Blackthorn Security, Dunn asked Leonard to find two other personnel who were on leave, and it seemed that these were all the combat power of the "Night Watchman" in Tingen.

Although the number is small, if all of them are extraordinary, it is definitely a team to be reckoned with. Even if they are all Sequence 9, they all have their own strange abilities, and once multiple Extraordinary Beings team up to fight, the endless variety of abilities will cause great distress to the enemy.

"With only six combatants, will it be too busy?"

Angel asked, she was very curious about this, and in the middle of the night, just to investigate the incident of Cole Granger, three night watchmen came to her house, and half of the combatants were dispatched, except for those who were resting at home and those on duty, almost all of them were dispatched.

Siga Teon chuckled, her eyes narrowed to make her look much younger.

"Actually, we're quite idle, there aren't many supernatural events to deal with in Tingen, and with you this time, there are only four in June. And it's not just us 'Night Watchmen' who are working, we are only in charge of the North, West, and Golden Sycamore Districts, and the rest of the areas are in charge of the Substitutes and the Extraordinary Ones of the 'Machine Heart'. ”

"If you hadn't reported to St. Selena's Church this time, it wouldn't have been our turn to take care of it."

The "substitute punisher" of the Church of the Lord of Storms, the "mechanical heart" of the Church of the God of Steam and Machines, these are all armed by the "Night Watcher" to the Church of the Night Goddess, and it seems that the division of forces between the three major Orthodox Churches of the Rune Kingdom is still quite clear, so at least there will be no conflicts or even big fights when dealing with related cases.

Seeing that Siga Teang had all the questions to answer, Angel then asked a lot about these extraordinary squads in Tingen City, it seems that Siga's scruples about the "leaks" are limited to his own night watchman squad, talking about the other two extraordinary squads in Tingen City, she basically knows everything and says everything, which opened Angel's eyes.

——————

“…… Because those people were followers of the Storm Lord, the 'substitutes' also arrived at the scene, they hadn't opened for a month at the time, and when they saw that the captain and I had settled the matter, their eyes widened and they almost got into a fight with us......"

Sharing other people's troubles is indeed one of the best ways to strengthen friendship, Angel and Siga Teang quickly chatted together, and when Leonard Mitchell, who had changed into a black police uniform and casually wore a black waistcoat, pushed open the door to the lounge and walked in, Siga was holding his stomach very ungracefully, almost rolling on the sofa.

"Ahem... Cough. Seeing someone come in, Siga Teang instantly returned to a proper sitting posture, as if the image that had just collapsed was just an illusion, "Leonard, what's the matter?" ”

She looked at the lunch box on the table and suddenly said, "Are you here to collect the lunch box?" ”

Leonard Mitchell almost didn't maintain his pretended handsome expression, and was stunned for a moment before replying: "Of course not, the waiter has already taken away all the utensils outside, and I guess I forgot about you here." I came because the captain asked me to inform you to go to his office for a meeting about the actions of the evening. ”

Hearing that it had something to do with the night's actions, Siga Teang also became serious, she got up from the couch and straightened her trench coat.

"Then I'll go to the captain first, and you will do it for me?" Siga gestured with her eyes to Angel, who was sitting on the couch in the back.

Leonard nodded, "No problem, I won't fight at night anyway." ”

Naturally, he sat down on the couch that Siga had rolled over and picked up the previous copy of the Ahowa Evening News.

Seeing that Siga Teang was about to leave, Angel also got up to say goodbye: "Ms. Teang, thank you for your company during this time. ”

She remembered that the "night watchmen" were all believers in the goddess of the night, and added: "May the goddess bless you." ”

"May the Goddess bless you." Siga Teang drew a crimson moon on his chest and left the lounge.

The room fell silent again, and Leonard Mitchell seemed to have come to read the newspaper, his legs crossed, holding the Ahowa Evening News in both hands, staring intently at the page, as if there was some wealth code hidden in the news.

Angel felt that this person was too serious and liked to get to the bottom of things, so instead of talking to him, he also pulled out a newspaper from the bookshelf next to him, sat back on the sofa by the window, and started the time.

It's an Intis Post, dated a week ago, and it seems that the newspaper in the lounge isn't updated very quickly, and the "night watchmen" who pass the time don't care much about it.

She focused her attention on the front-page headline:

"Shocked! A number of students at the University of Tingen have mysteriously disappeared because of the female teachers of the literature department? ”

What is this?

Angel frowned and put the newspaper aside, she was not interested in such shocking headlines, even such headlines could be put on the front page, this newspaper was not very authoritative.

But after a few seconds, she picked up the "Intis Post" again, wanting to see if the article mentioned Cole Granger, after all, this guy used the ability of "instigator" to trick many students into skipping school to go to the Amanda Mountains in the north of Ahowa County, it is said that there has been no news for a month, and it is not accurate to say that the disappearance, Angel thinks that they should have been killed, maybe the bodies were taken by wolves.

After reading the text line by line, she concluded that this was a worthless news, full of the kind of frivolous news-style speculation in her previous life, how to attract attention and how to write, using various fictitious "informants" to anonymously break the news, and cleverly using words such as "maybe" and "maybe" to avoid legal issues.

Flipping through the back pages, all kinds of eye-catching headlines are one after another, and the topics are all over all walks of life in all the countries of the Northern Continent, and the only thing in common is that they are chasing after the wind and sensational.

Just as she was about to throw the newspaper away, Leonard Mitchell, who had been burying his head in the newspaper to find the "wealth code", suddenly spoke.

"It seems that you are quite compatible with Siga, what is your first impression of her, of our 'Night Watcher'?"

There was a nonchalance in his words, and his eyes did not take off the newspaper, as if he were asking casually, but having had the experience of conversations in a carriage, Angel believed that he must have some purpose.

"Ms. Siga Teang felt a little cold at first sight, but after talking to her for a while, you can see that she is a very enthusiastic person."

Angel replied, pondering the words.

"To be honest, my first impression was not good, after all, you broke into my house in the middle of the night and directly invaded my dreams. If it weren't for the fact that I'm also an extraordinary, I'm afraid your captain Dunn Smith wouldn't even give me a chance to talk, but would just prepare to get all the information in my dreams, right? ”

She first expressed her feelings as an "ordinary citizen", and then changed her words:

"But since it's to fight the crimes of the extraordinary, then I don't have much to say. Subjective feelings aside, I am still very optimistic about your professionalism and action. ”

"Normally, we will go to the door with the police in the neighborhood, this time in the second half of the night, and the matter is urgent, Ms. Dai Li will leave Tingen tomorrow, so the captain is in a hurry to finish the case as soon as possible."

Leonard Mitchell didn't expect Angel's evaluation to be so unkind, and explained with an embarrassed face.

"Compared to 'moderates' like us, the 'substitute punishers' tend to break into the door directly, arresting first and then triaging, and the 'Machine Heart' is more accustomed to fighting crime on the street with a firearm, and I'm sure you won't like their methods."

As if thinking of some past experience, the corners of Leonard's mouth twitched, as if he wanted to laugh but held back.

He simply put down the copy of the "Ahowa Evening News" that had not been opened, and changed directions with his crossed legs, staring at Angel with his green eyes.

"Based on your current impression, if you had the opportunity to join the Night Watchman, would you be willing?"

Join the Night Watcher? I?

Angel looked at Leonard, trying to get a hint of a joking look on his face, but Leonard's face was calm and his gaze did not dodge.

He seems to be serious......

Angel frowned, as a former Templar, her first impression of the Goddess of the Night's extraordinary armed "Night Watchman" was actually not bad, and a large part of the negative evaluation just now was to create a "normal person who complains about violent organs". Once they stand in the angle of fighting crime, this kind of vigorous and unruly style of acting has become their advantage.

But what does that have to do with me? I'm just a witness to a whistleblower letter, and I might wake up tomorrow and go to prison to be with Mrs. Sharon under her testimony, and now I'm asking if I'm interested in joining the Night Watch...... I don't think you guys look like a "suicide squad", do you?

She speculated about Leonard's purpose and didn't answer immediately.

"Hehe, I just asked casually, don't take it to heart."

Leonard saw Angel's face change, and he never answered, and he didn't ask any more questions.

"It's just that a 'victim' of a supernatural event like you is usually resettled by the department that takes over to prevent subsequent victimization or leakage of secrets. Since you are already extraordinary, the choice will be wider. When Mrs. Sharon is apprehended, the captain will talk to you in detail. ”

Victim? When Mrs. Sharon is caught, as long as she denies the existence of "Angel Granger", and then reveals the effect of the Sequence 7 potion "witch", it will be a question of who will go to the gallows first, me or her. When I say, "I'm a victim too, Cole Granger died a long time ago at the promotion ceremony, I'm a possessed wanderer from another world", will anyone believe me?

Although she had prepared for the worst in order to settle Mrs. Sharon once and for all, the thought of this bad possibility, Angel and the little good mood she had from chatting with Siga Teon evaporated like dew in the scorching sun, and she grabbed the "Intis Post" full of gossip and lace news again, and immersed herself in the fictional news to start time.
