Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 20 Knots

Midnight, Welch McGovern's rented house with a garden.

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

Dunn walked in front and pushed open the half-closed iron door. A handsome young man with black hair and brown eyes followed behind him. But as soon as he stepped in, the young man shrank his neck and looked around suspiciously.

Facing the reminder of the young man's "problem", Dunn just told him not to pay attention, and soon the two walked into the living room, where a lady wearing a hood was sitting on the sofa, her blue eye shadow and blush looked particularly weird And charming, combined with the gloomy atmosphere here and the candles emitting blue light on the table, the young man felt very horrified.

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 dreams, the young man knew that this "world after time travel" had secrets far beyond his imagination.

Daly's psychic psychic did not have any disturbances. She checked the spirit body of the young man named "Klein", and obtained the answer of "amnesia" again.Dunn didn't find anything when he saw Daly, and the suspicion of the youth can basically be ruled out for the time being. As for whether this case will affect his longer-term life, it's anyone's guess.

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

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

When Daly received the gift from Dunn, she seemed very happy. After hearing that it was given by someone else, part of the excitement subsided and was replaced by curiosity: "Is she so good? I also have one? "

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

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

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

And ever since Dunn took out the braided bracelet, the young man's eyes were fixed on it in shock, and he never moved away.

Anyone who eats dumplings during Chinese New Year should have seen shapes similar to them—appearing on various strings of red lanterns, hanging under golden ingot ornaments, or even as a single huge braided knot. , Hanging anywhere that can be seen by people, blessing characters and couplets are posted on the door, announcing that the old year will pass and the new year is approaching.

Or the knots just hang there all year round, tied somewhere, and let the unique red braided knots bring good luck.

Until Ms. Daly tried to tie the knot on her wrist, the size was just right, the young man suddenly came back to his senses, lowered his head to restrain his excitement.I can't make a conclusion so early, maybe it's just a coincidence, after all, this knot is not red, and it may not really be a time traveler like myself.But since there is Emperor Roselle and himself, why can't there be others?
What's more, Emperor Roselle lived more than 100 years ago, and this one is just like himself, living in Tingen!
According to Mr. Smith, the maker of this knot is a member of the Nighthawks?It would also make sense if someone else traveled here because of being involved in extraordinary events.

Either way, get a chance to meet the maker of this bracelet!
The young man left the house behind Dun En, and walked towards the gate through the garden. After hearing Dun En's suggestion of "join them", the young man's breath stagnated.

This opportunity came too fast, but he couldn't seem too eager. After hearing Dunn mention the possibility of Extraordinary being out of control, the young man thought quickly in his mind, and listened intently to Dunn's explanation to the civilian staff, from time to time Ask questions and weigh the pros and cons in your mind.

In the end, the young man still cautiously expressed that he would consider it. After Dunn told him how to contact him, he didn't try to persuade him any more, leaving the choice to the young man himself.

-

Esther slept very restlessly that night.

She didn't fall into the strange dream again, but she always seemed to hear a faint voice, coming from an extremely distant place, and when she wanted to listen more carefully, the voice didn't exist again.

Under the influence of such slight babbling, she always woke up suddenly after a short sleep, turned on the light and looked at her pocket watch, and fell asleep for an hour at most, and then repeated this process seven or eight times, and the sun outside was about to rise. get up.

Esther covered her head under the quilt, and wailed a few times before crawling out. She was full of envy when she saw the little bugs curled up on the bedside that could ignore the outside world.

Esther hasn't had such a bad sleep quality for a long time, which makes her get up angry in her previous life, showing signs of relapse. She really wants to call "shit", but Roseanne will definitely reprimand her for being unladylike.

Today's Blackthorn Security Company has nothing to do, it's leisurely and peaceful, and it doesn't even have a commission to find a cat or a dog.

Esther went out in the morning. Recently, she was obsessed with researching "mythical stories" in the library, and found some plausible historical traces, and copied the interesting content in her notebook.It wasn't until after lunch that Esther took a walk on the street for a while, packed a few pieces of chocolate cake and a few packs of puffs from the bakery, and then returned to Zouterand Street in a public carriage.

What surprised her was that Roseanne, who was supposed to be on duty here, was not there, so Esther dug out the dessert tableware by herself, and left the cake for Roseanne on the table.

When Esther was going down the stairs, she happened to meet Rosanne who came up: "Esther, you are back, oops, what did you bring today?"

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

Luo Shan smiled all over her face: "Thank you, you really have a preference for sweets. Someone came to see the captain just now. He is a very elegant young man. He said that he received the invitation from the captain, and he might be our colleague in the future. This is not very pleasant. Are people looking forward to it?"

Esther said with a smile: "You just hope that someone who works in shifts can not stay up late!"

"Staying up late has a great impact on the skin!" Rosanne exaggerated, and happily walked up the stairs to enjoy the chocolate cake Esther brought her.

Esther walked along the corridor into several offices with open doors, and put the puffs on Leonard's desk: "This is for you."

"Oh, puffs!" Leonard opened the paper bag, threw a small puff into his mouth, and tasted the sweet cream sandwich, shaking his head, "This one is also good. It's a pity that many places don't sell croquettes. thank you."

"After all, you're only good at chocolate."

Carrying a bag of puffs and chocolate cakes, Esther walked into the Chanis Gate where Dunn was on duty, just in time to hear what Dunn said.

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

This topic was too serious and sad, she immediately turned a corner and wanted to exit the room, but Dunn stopped her first: "Esther, what's the matter?"

Esther quickly put the chocolate cake on the table next to her, and smiled apologetically to the two people in the room: "I'm sorry to bother you, I just wanted to deliver something to eat, I'm leaving now!"

The young man sitting opposite to Captain Dunn had smooth black hair brushed to the sides to expose his forehead, brown eyes were bright and quiet, full of thoughtful expressions, his facial features were not too sharp, with a strong bookishness, he looked gentle and harmless .He reminded Esther of a word she heard in her previous life, "herbivore", which should refer to such an easy-going temperament, non-aggressive and easy to get along with.

The young man looked at her with inquiry and curiosity, and even a kind of joyful intimacy. He knows me?

Of course the young man didn't know her, but Esther's appearance with oriental characteristics almost convinced him that Esther was special. It was the first time for the young man to see a face with distinctive oriental features in this world. The joy of seeing a fellow countryman in a foreign country.Although Esther's laurel hair color and clear gray eyes are different from the black in memory, the young man still feels kind.

Seeing the two people looking at each other, Dunn cleared his throat: "Hey, Esther, you don't need to rush away. This is Klein Moretti, a new civil servant who joined us, and we will see each other often in the future. Klein, this is Esther, the special half-Nighthawk in our team. Because her identity is directly under the jurisdiction of the Holy Church, she is a non-staff member of the Tingen Nighthawk team, but she I usually stay here, and only travel with the team for major missions."

Esther showed a warm smile: "You are a new team member! I should say congratulations on surviving. Give this to you as a congratulatory gift."

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

"Meeting ceremony, you're welcome. Civil servants have a lot to learn. I hope you will enjoy reading."

Dunn nodded: "If you want, you can also teach him with Old Neil. I heard from Old Neil that you are more proficient in ancient Hermes than him, and even learned a lot of Giant language."

Esther laughed dryly: "Haha, that's because old Neil valued me more, it's not that exaggerated..."

Dunn laughed: "Then you go out first, I have other things to explain to Klein, well, I don't use the language of mysticism for the time being."

Klein would joke around when he saw Dunn, which surprised him a bit, but then he glanced at Esther again. Her appearance seemed to be about the same age as Melissa, but from what Dunn said, she was waiting. for a while.Dunn's joke is more like a kind of tolerance for the younger generation. It is obvious that he wants to let Aisi feel disappointed because he was driven away. He has serious things to say.

Yes, there is a feeling that adults want to talk and call children to play first.

Esther also heard it, and she twitched her lips: "Then I'll go find Rosanne, remember to eat the cake, Captain, don't forget."

Dunn turned to Klein only after Esther closed the door intimately, leaving the two people chatting in the room alone.

"Esther doesn't have a last name, and mentioning the past may make her sad, so you just get along with her as usual."

Klein nodded thoughtfully, and began to make up the [-]-word story of wandering in his hometown in his heart.

　Thank you again for Eternai's monthly pass, and thank you for your recommendation tickets. I am very glad that you are willing to patiently read this story.Esther's character design has been released, and the characters can be seen.
