Chapter 8: Inquiry in a Dream

Night watcher?

Once the train of thought turned in this direction, Angel quickly found more evidence.

For example, Sergeant Duller is not very respectful of Senior Inspector Hopper, who is 4 levels higher than him, for example, this Senior Inspector's style and conversation are not quite like the "West Velas Field" style in his mouth......

Of course, even if he is an official Sequence 7 Extraordinaire and has been awarded the rank of Senior Inspector, he will not necessarily be a Night Watch of the Night Church, but may also be a "substitute for punishment" or "Mechanical Heart".

However, Angel felt a hint of familiarity from his movements and eyes, which was very similar to the "nightmare" she had seen.

Assuming that this Senior Inspector Hopper is the "Nightmare", it means that the people and things involved in the manuscript of the "Difference Machine" in her hand may not be as simple as it seems......

It is likely that there will be extraordinary people involved in it, which will attract the attention of the night watchers!

The more Angel thought about it, the more convinced she became, and she subconsciously looked in the direction of the study, where there was a secret compartment behind the bookshelf, and the file bag containing the manuscript was placed in the secret compartment, waiting for the secret meeting two days later.

"It seems that we have to make some preparations, if nothing else, the night watchman will come back to investigate again in the second half of the night, and ...... in my dreams."

As she thought about it, she returned to the open kitchen next to the dining room, only to find that her fried eggs and bacon were already clinging to the pan, giving off a burnt smell.

"Alas, I can only eat one egg......"

Throwing the breakfast that had become inedible garbage into the trash, Angel refried it and filled her stomach with toast and cream.

……

Today, the sky in Beckland is rarely clear, and the smog that has long shrouded the city has thinned out in the sunlight, which not only reveals the hazy streets and buildings, but also the pungent smell in the air, which seems to never go away.

Although the Bakerland Daily newspaper once counted that there are only about 75 days of smog in the capital of Rune every year, people always take sunny days for granted, and the continuous smog weather is deeply remembered.

Angel has only been here for a week, and she has not yet formed such a mindset, she only thinks that although the sunny weather is very good, it is still not as good as the city of Tingen, where she has lived for two months.

Maybe I'll have a chance to go back there......

Looking at the blue sky with a hint of gray, Angel was stunned when he was called back to Beckland by a shout from the coachman.

"Ma'am, Beckland Bank has arrived."

After paying the fare, Angel entered the lobby of the bank, which is located in the Hillston district.

Her bearer account was opened in this bank.

The headquarters of all seven banks in the Kingdom of Rune with liquidation power are located in the Hilston District, which also has financial facilities such as stock exchanges and clearing houses, and is known as the economic, commercial and financial center of the Kingdom of Rune.

But what does that have to do with me, a little guy with only £1,000 in savings? It's just going to increase the time I spend in line......

With a flyer about the Beckland Bank in hand, Angel passed the time with the knowledge in it, and made it to the counter through a long line.

She withdrew 950 pounds from her £1,000 deposit and redeposited 350 pounds into another bearer account that Miss Justice had given her, so that her arrears in the Tarot Society would be paid off.

Even if she urgently needed money now, she didn't want to owe this member who had helped her so much in her promotion.

The other 600 pounds were taken out for the secret gathering in two days, where she planned to buy some much-needed extraordinary materials, such as star crystals to make special bullets, or some powerful magical items to replace the "thirst for blood" that she died heroically in the line of duty.

It is even possible to encounter the potion recipe and materials for her promotion to Sequence 6.

In the previous battle with the Witch Sect, she already knew that the name of her next sequence was "Witch of Pleasure", and basically figured out the ability of this sequence, but other than that, she didn't know anything about the recipe and main materials, so she could only rely on exchanging and buying at the Extraordinary's gathering.

But the huge amount of money also made Angel a little uneasy, and even the kind and appreciative eyes on the roadside became full of malice in her eyes, and she didn't dare to stay out for too long, Angel bought some materials to make charms, and hurried back to her home at 47 Red Rose Street.

————

In a dream struggling with eggs that could never be fried, Angel suddenly found that the pan and spatula in her hand were missing, and she appeared neatly dressed on the single sofa by the convex belly window in the living room, holding a newspaper whose contents she could not read clearly.

She felt something, looked at her right wrist, and the "Hidden Holy Emblem" strung on the citrine pendant was emitting a faint, peaceful fluctuation.

I'm in a dream...... No, it's a nightmare's dream!

It's the same as the one when Dunn pulled her into a dream to inquire, but this time more awake and her senses sharper, which should be the power of the emblem, after all, the goddess is a sequence above all the "sleepless......

Well?

Angel's thoughts were forcibly interrupted by herself, causing her to go blank for a moment.

"Squeak-"

The door of the living room to the street was pushed open, and a figure in a black trench coat strode into the room and sat down on the sofa opposite her as if he were returning to his own home.

He had mid-tan hair, a little messy bangs, and bright brown eyes that looked at Angel.

Sure enough, it was the senior inspector in the morning, and he was the "nightmare" of the night watchman......

Angel looked at Hopper and blinked, not knowing what expression to make at this time.

After all, she was awake during the two dreams she had.

Fortunately, the nightmare didn't care about the attitude of the person he was questioning, and when he sat down, his expression was easy-going, and the conversation began as if he were chatting.

"You only came from Tingen last week?"

"Yes."

"What did you do in Tingen before?"

"I was born in West Villas, my parents died in the border conflict between the Kingdom of Rune and Intis, so I defected to my relatives in Tingen two months ago......"

Angel began to "confess" where she came from.

“…… But they died in the gas explosion in Tingen half a month ago, and I had to leave there in search of a job opportunity in Beckland. ”

"I'm sorry to remind you of this," the night watchman said apologetically, "I hope you'll forget about these sad things in Beckland." ”

"Let's go on, after renting Mrs. Varys's house, have you found some indecipherable complicated documents in it? Or dangerous items such as pistols and explosives? ”

After apologizing briefly, he continued to ask questions like an interrogator.

Of course, it's all hidden in the study...... Angel held back a laugh and replied:

"Nope."

"Have you ever seen those tall, fierce-looking Fursacks?"

"Nope."

Angel teamed up with "Nightmare" Hopper, quickly disappointing the nightwatchman who had nothing to gain.

Judging by his eagerness, he may not be the first to be questioned tonight, and Mrs. Varys and her maid must be on the list......

Angel watched the night watchman rise from the couch and sighed in disappointment, before disappearing into the room with a ripple of water in the air.

The living room in front of her became the ceiling of the bedroom.

When the "nightmare" is out of the dream, will I wake up with it? This shouldn't be the case, otherwise their invasion would be too easy to detect.

But fortunately, I prepared in advance, otherwise even if I knew that in the dream of "nightmare", it would be easy to show my feet if I made up a story on an improvised basis.

Angel was lying on the bed looking at the ceiling, a smile on her lips.

The captain is much more polite than this guy......
