Chapter 20 Knitting

At midnight, Welch McGovern rented a single-family house with a garden.

This is the residence of one of the victims of the suicide and the scene of the case.

Dunn walked in front and pushed open the half-closed iron door. A beautiful young man with black hair and brown eyes followed him. As soon as he stepped into this place, the young man shrank his neck and looked around in confusion.

Dunn faced the youth's "problem" reminder, but he didn't have to care. Soon the two walked into the living room, and the figure of a woman wearing a hood was sitting on the sofa. Her blue eyeshadow and blush looked particularly weird and charming. Coupled with the gloomy atmosphere here and the candles emitting blue light on the table, the youth felt very horrible.

But he didn't show much on the surface, and even took off his hat and bowed politely. After seeing Dunn's ability to enter and control his dreams, the young man knew that this "post-traveling world" had a secret far beyond his imagination.

There was no trouble in Daly's psychic. She checked the spirit of the young man named "Kline" and got the answer to "amnesia". Dunn saw that Daly did not find anything. The suspicion of the young man could be temporarily ruled out. As for whether this case will have an impact on his longer life, this is something that no one can say.

The ceremony was over, and the young man shook his head, still with a little confused on his face. Dunn was about to take him away when he suddenly remembered what was in his arms. He pulled out the cardboard matchbox and pulled out the bracelet with the knot inside.

"By the way, I almost forgot. This is what Esther asked me to give to you. You know I mentioned to you that she was a new team member who joined after you left and got along well with everyone."

When Daly took the gift from Dunn, she seemed quite happy. After hearing that it was given by someone else, the excitement faded away, and instead curious: "Is she so good? I have one?"

"Everyone got her handmade gift, and everyone mentioned you to her... In fact, you met her." Dunn decided to test Daly's memory.

But Daly shook her head and looked at him with a smile: "I really don't have any impression of it. Will the memory of 'Nightmare' be contagious?"

Dunn got the expected result and sighed in his heart, just nodding on the surface: "Then you have a good rest, I should send him back."

Since Dunn took out the braided bracelet, the young man's eyes were staring at it in shock and never moved away.

Anyone who eats dumplings during the Chinese New Year should have seen similar shapes - appearing on various red lantern strings, hanging under golden ingot ornaments, or even as a single whole huge weaving knot, hanging anywhere you can see. The word "Fu" and couplets are posted on the door, telling that the old year is about to pass and the new year is approaching.

Or the knot is just hanging there all year round, tied to somewhere, so that the unique red knot can be used to pray for good luck.

Until Ms. Daly tried to tie the knot on her wrist, which was just the right size, the young man suddenly came to his senses and lowered his head to calm down his excitement. He couldn't make a conclusion so early. Maybe it was just a coincidence. After all, the knot was not red, and it was not necessarily a time traveler like himself. But since Emperor Rossell was there and himself was there, why can't there be others?

What's more, Emperor Rossell was from more than a hundred years ago. This one lives in Tingen just like him!

Mr. Smith said that the maker of this knot is a member of the Night Watch? If anyone else travels here because he is involved in extraordinary events, that makes sense.

No matter what, you have to find an opportunity to meet the maker of this bracelet!

The young man followed Dunn and left the house, walked through the garden toward the gate, and after hearing Dunn's proposal to "join them", the young man's breathing stagnated.

This opportunity came too quickly, but he could not seem too anxious. After hearing Dunn mention the possibility of an extraordinary person losing control, the young man thought quickly in his mind, and focused on listening to Dunn's explanation to civilian staff, asking questions from time to time, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

In the end, the young man cautiously expressed his intention to consider it. After Dunn told him how to contact him, he did not persuade him, and handed over the choice to the young man himself.

Esther slept very uneasy that night.

She did not fall into a strange dream again, but she seemed to hear a faint sound coming from an extremely distant place. When she wanted to listen more carefully, the sound no longer existed.

Under the influence of such slight murmurs, she always woke up suddenly after sleeping for a while, turned on the light to look at the pocket watch, and fell asleep for an hour at most. Then the process was repeated seven or eight times, and the sun outside almost rose.

Esther covered her head under the quilt, wailed twice in annoyance before crawling out. She was full of envy as she saw the head of the bed rolling into a ball of small insects that could ignore the outside world.

Esther hasn't had such a poor sleep quality for a long time, which has caused her to get up in her previous life to show signs of relapse. She really wants to curse her "shock", but Luo Shan will definitely scold her for being so unlady.

Today's Black Thorn Security Company is nothing, it is leisurely and peaceful, and there is not even a commission to find a cat or a dog.

Esther went out in the morning. She was addicted to the library to study "myths", and found some plausible historical traces from it, and excerpted the content she found interesting in her notebook. It was not until after lunch that Esther was walking on the street for a while, packed a few pieces of chocolate cakes and a few bags of puffs from the bakery before returning to Zotland Street in a public carriage.

What surprised her was that Rosan, who was on duty here, was not in her position, so Esther took out the tableware for dessert and left the cake for Rosan on the table.

When Esther walked down the stairs, he happened to meet Luo Shan who was walking up: "Esther, you are back, oh, what are you bringing today?"

"Chocolate cake! I'll put it on your table."

Luo Shan smiled and said, "Thank you, you really prefer sweets. Someone came to find the captain just now. He was a very elegant young man. He said that after receiving the invitation from the captain, he might be our colleague in the future. Isn't this very exciting?"

Esther said funnyly: "You just hope someone can stop staying up late when he takes shifts!"

" Staying up late has a great impact on your skin!" Luo Shan said exaggeratedly, happily walking up the stairs to enjoy the chocolate cake that Esther brought her.

Esther walked down the corridor and entered several offices with the door open, and placed Puff on Leonard's desk: "This is for you."

"Oh, puff!" Leonard opened the paper bag, threw a little puff in his mouth, shaking his head and savoring the sweet buttery filling, "This is not bad. What a pity that the fried croquettes are not sold in many places. Thank you."

"After all, you're just as good as chocolate."

Esther walked into the Chanis door where Dunn was on duty with a bag of puffs and chocolate cakes, and happened to hear what Dunn said.

"We are the guardians, and a group of poor people who are always fighting against danger and madness."

The topic was too serious and sad, and she immediately turned around and wanted to exit the room, but Dunn stopped her: "Esther, is there anything wrong?"

Esther quickly placed the chocolate cake on the table next to him and smiled apologetically to the two people in the room: "Sorry to bother you. I just want to come and send some food. I'll leave now!"

The young man sitting opposite Captain Dunn, his soft black hair was combed to his forehead on both sides, his brown eyes were bright and quiet, and his thoughtful expression was full of thought. His facial features were not too sharp, and he looked gentle and harmless with a strong scholarly aura. He reminded Esther of a word he had heard in his previous life, "herfed" should mean such an easy-going temperament, without aggressiveness and easy to get along with.

The young man looked at her, as if he was inquiry and curiosity, and even had a sense of joy and intimacy. He knew me?

Of course the young man did not know her, but Esther's appearance with oriental characteristics almost convinced him of Esther's special features. This was the first time that a young man saw a face with distinctive oriental facial features in this world, and of course he was delighted to meet fellow villagers in a foreign country. Although Esther's laurel hair color and clear gray eyes were different from the black in his memory, the young man still felt intimate.

Dunn saw the two people looking at each other and cleared his throat: "Well, Esther, you don't have to rush to leave. This is Klein Moretti, a new civilian, and will meet often in the future. Klein, this is Esther, the special half-night attendant in our team. Because her identity is directly under the jurisdiction of the Church, she is an extra-staff member for the Tingen Night attendant team, but she usually stays here and only travels with the team for major tasks."

Esther showed a warm smile: "You are the new team member! I should say congratulations on your survival. I'll give this to you, just treat it as a gift."

Esther handed the last bag of puffs to Klein's arms, and Klein thanked him embarrassedly.

"You're welcome to meet up. There are a lot of things that civilians have to learn. I hope you will like reading."

Dunn nodded: "If you want, you can teach him with Old Neil. I heard Old Neil say that your Guchmis is more proficient than him, and even learned a lot of Giant language."

Esther laughed dryly: "Haha, that's why Old Neil values ​​me more, and it's not that exaggerating..."

Dunn laughed: "Then you go out first. I have other aspects to explain to Klein. Well, there is no place to use the mystical language for the time being."

Klein would joke when he saw Dunn, which surprised him a little, but then he looked at Esther again. Her appearance seemed to be about the same age as Melissa, but from what Dunn said, she had been there for a while. Dunn's joke was more like a kind of tolerance for his juniors, and it was obvious that he wanted to make Esther particularly lost because he was driven away, and he had something serious to say.

Yes, it feels like adults want to talk and call the children to go play first.

Esther also heard it, and she pulled the corners of her mouth: "Then I'll go find Luo Shan, remember to eat the cake, Captain, don't forget."

Only after Esther thoughtfully closed the door and left the two people chatting indoors alone, Dunn turned to Klein.

"Esther has no last name, and mentioning the past may make her sad, so you just get along with her normally."

Klein nodded thoughtfully and began to think of the 8,000-word wandering story of the fellow villager in his heart.

Thank you again for Eternai's monthly tickets and everyone's recommendation tickets. I'm glad you are willing to read this story patiently. Ester's character picture has been released and the characters can be seen.
