The heavy head slipped from the palm of his hand.

When it almost touched the desk, the owner of the quilt quickly lifted it up.

Lyndon wakes up from his nightmare.

On the table are a cup of cold coffee, a locked notebook, and several pieces of white paper filled with writing.

There is also a cake dessert.

This should be something Jana took out for herself from the refrigerator,

She seemed to be very keen on this kind of food, and Lyndon bought a lot of them for her and put them in the office refrigerator.

Although Jana doesn't need to eat to stay alive, that doesn't stop her from enjoying it.

Her existence is very special. Since returning to the office, she can hardly be seen hiding anywhere during the day.

The office itself is a three-story rental house, and the office is converted from the front hall on the first floor.

In such a large room, Jiana can float around regardless of the walls.

It would be easy for her to hide.

Occasionally I ran into her, and it was Jiana quietly huddled in the corner of the kitchen eating dessert.

But that's fine, Lyndon doesn't have to worry about how to support her.

And another obvious benefit is that with Jana here, the whispers and harassment after dark are obviously much weaker.

For the first time in a long time, Linden tried to live like a normal person for several times.

Today, a full week has passed since I visited the old dock on East Street at night.

then,

He refused to join the Night Watch,

Antar did not force him, he just said:

"If you ever change your mind, please remember that the vigil organizers will always open the door for you."

as well as,

Lyndon pulled out the desk drawer and found a delicate silver dagger lying quietly inside.

The surface of the scabbard was covered with complex words that he couldn't understand.

"Next time you encounter demons, use this special dagger to kill them. Jana's power is limited, and you can't always rely on her.

Oh, by the way, if nothing happens, it would be better if you don't pull it out."

Antar left after leaving these words.

Lyndon picked up the dagger and placed it on the countertop in front of him.

Can this dagger really kill demons?

If it was true as Antar said, then he would have help from outside the Black Dream Space.

Moreover, there are legitimate reasons for using the weapons of the Night's Watch.

If one day Jana is not around and she destroys the demon by herself, this can be regarded as a strong reason.

He doesn't want anyone other than Jana to know about the existence of Heimeng yet.

"Get me today's newspaper, thank you."

The newspaper delivery boy delivers the daily journal to the door of the office every morning.

Linden was too lazy to move himself, so he asked Jana to help him finish it.

This is probably a wonderful way for her to use it.

The door to the front hall opened, and a newspaper floated toward him.

He crossed his legs, leaned back on the chair and started reading.

The opening part of the newspaper was always the entertainment news in Loft City. He was not interested in understanding these contents at all, so he quickly turned to the middle part of the newspaper.

[Yesterday, the East Block Health Manager violated the "Vigil Regulations" and left the house at two o'clock in the morning. He has now disappeared.

If anyone knows anything, please go to the East Street Police Station to provide feedback.]

Lyndon knew this guy because he took over his job at that time.

Old Jack, an old widower who lost his son in his later years, seemed to be the one who took the lead in writing the joint letter asking him to resign.

originally,

This news cannot arouse his interest yet.

Until he glanced down casually.

[It is reported that someone last saw him on Third Street in the East Block, near an independent clinic.]

Third Street? Independent Clinic?

Wasn't it blocked by night watchmen two days ago?

The Night Watch organization confirmed that Dr. Kennedy was possessed and dead and had emptied the clinic.

There should be several temporary security booths around the clinic. During the day, the security office will send people to patrol to prevent nearby residents from entering by mistake.

Dr. Kennedy's notebook was still on his desk, and the Night Watch didn't seem to know it existed.

And during this time,

Lyndon knew that the night watchman would keep a close eye on him, so he did not go out to find anyone to find a way to open the lock.

The encryption of the notebook was very strong, and he could not successfully open it in the office without damaging the notebook.

What was Old Jack doing near the clinic in the middle of the night?

He put down the newspaper, stood up, and opened the curtains behind him.

"Jana, come out for a moment."

Jana cannot be exposed to sunlight and prefers to live in the shadows.

"What's going on?"

Linden raised his head following the sound and saw her turned upside down, lying in the corner of the ceiling.

"Have you seen this man?"

He pointed to the photo of old Jack published in the newspaper and raised his head to ask Jana.

"Let me see!"

The gray phantom suddenly landed at the desk and took the newspaper.

Jiana’s already distorted facial features,

After seeing the photo, I became even more dislocated.

The girl floated onto Linden's office chair, crossed her legs and twitched her chin in the same manner.

"I do have an impression."

Linden had the illusion that Jana seemed to be imitating his speech.

She's met old Jack, which is interesting information.

"Where did you see him? The clinic?"

"You're right."

"...Why do you want to learn how to speak like me?"

After hearing the question, Jana returned to her timid appearance, slid down the chair, squatted under the desk and huddled in a ball.

"Because dad said I'm too timid... I want to be as bold as you."

"Okay, come on. So when did you meet this person?"

Linden said perfunctorily and then asked further.

"Well, I've met several times...the last time was about half a month ago?"

Half a month ago.

It happened to be the time for old Jack to take his place.

After the health administrator resigned, he began to think of ways to join the Night Watch organization.

It was also during that time that he met Dr. Kennedy, who was qualified to issue medical certificates, through the introduction of his neighbors.

Could it be that there is any connection between these two things?

Is there a dark hand hiding in the dark, guiding me step by step in the preset direction?

The night watchmen should have no position to do this. According to Antal, he only came into their sight after contacting Dr. Kennedy.

This unfounded speculation made Lyndon very unhappy.

but,

What made him even more uncomfortable was that he felt like someone was playing with his fate.

"What's Old Jack doing with your dad?"

"Well, I don't understand what they're talking about... Just give me some time and I'll write it down for you."

A piece of white paper and a pen were taken away from the table.

She lay on the floor, biting the cap of her pen and thinking.

Linden did not disturb her. Jana's memory was unstable, and it would take a lot of time to fully recall an event.

While Jiana was thinking hard, he also thought about his own plan.

"So the best way is to go and investigate for yourself."

Linden looked at the end of Old Jack's news article. It also published the contact information of the police station.

He picked up the receiver of his desk rotary phone and dialed it.

"Hello, this is the East Street Police Station. What can I do for you?"

A woman who spoke quickly and had a clear voice answered.

"I have some information to provide about Old Jack's case."

There was a commotion in the receiver, and Linden waited patiently for a while before finally getting an answer.

There was a different person who answered the call, and the voice of this newcomer was extremely familiar.

"Please elaborate."

Lyndon grinned.

Yo,

Isn't this Antar?
