Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

When Dunn was in the office sorting out reports, he would glance at his pocket watch from time to time to confirm the time.

Esther came back much sooner than Dunn expected. Before twelve o'clock, she walked through the door with several bags and gave Roxanne a package of slightly squashed lemon cakes, asking her to Help share with others.

The main reason is that Esther has not matched the names and appearances of anyone except Captain Dunn, the oldest Neil and Roxanne who often sits at the front desk. She is afraid that she calls the wrong person, so she has to put the cake directly. Leave it to Roxanne.

"Thank you Esther, you are so considerate! We can just have afternoon tea here. By the way, do you need me to order another lunch for you?"

"Thanks but no, I've eaten."

The croquettes were eaten by Esther during her shopping trip. By the end of the meal, they were cold and tasted a bit greasy. She couldn't eat anything now.

"So you live down there? I've never seen anyone living underground. Has the captain assigned a room to you? Even if you are new here, you don't have to be too restrained. Everyone is very easy-going. If you meet If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. I will tell you quietly that you can talk to the captain more. He has told us privately to pay more attention to the newcomers!"

Roxanne was a little too enthusiastic. Esther felt her desire to find someone to chat with, and quickly raised the bag in her hand towards Roxanne: "I'll take my things back first, and I'll talk to you later!"

"Okay, okay, then you go pack your things first. Do you want me to help you take them down?"

"No, no! It's not that heavy!"

Esther hurriedly left the reception hall, fearful of Roxanne's passionate gossip.

Before returning to Chanis' door, Esther went to say hello to Dunn.

Dunn was a little surprised when he saw Esther, but also put down his worries: "You came back early. Did you encounter any accidents?"

Esther hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Is there a man with black hair and green eyes among the Nighthawks? He's a particularly good-looking one."

Dunn smiled and nodded: "Tingen is a small city after all, so it's normal for you to see Leonard. What happened?"

"He seemed to suddenly think that I was a bad person, and then he apologized in a panic and ran away."

"Hahaha... His character is like this. Sometimes he can be very reckless, but most of the time he is a casual and easy-going good young man. I will introduce him to you when his rotation with Cornley is over tomorrow."

Esther added: "If I want to write a letter to Ms. Daly, can Mr. Smith forward it to me?"

Dunn didn't expect that Esther would still be concerned about Dai Li, and smiled happily: "Of course. And just like everyone else, just call me captain."

"Okay captain!" Esther shouted with a smile.

She still has a lot to learn if she wants to become a professional Nighthawk, but gaining recognition from others is the first step to self-positioning for Esther. She is very happy to have the opportunity to be accepted by the people of the Blackthorn Security Company.

Esther felt that this was her new beginning.

Life was like this for her, there was always a balance between loss and gain, at least on the surface.

——

The next afternoon, Leonard stepped into the front hall of Blackthorn Security Company. As soon as he entered, he saw Esther being pulled by Roxanne to chat. Esther's eyes were blank, but she would still give some "suspected of listening" responses from time to time, allowing Roxanne to continue discussing various gossips and news with great interest. She also had the new issue of "Ting" in hand. Root City Honest Newspaper".

"Good morning Leonard! You must not have seen Esther when you were away yesterday, right? She is our new member! Dunn said that her situation is quite special, so she will live in Chanis Gate for a long time. Esther, I will Please introduce me. This is Mr. Leonard Mitchell. Despite his young age, he already has Sequence 8. Isn’t he very powerful? Although he is not as talented as Dai Li, I can’t tell for sure in the future. .”

A trace of blush appeared on Leonard's face. He nodded at Esther indiscriminately and rushed through the door leading to the corridor, not daring to stay here any longer.

So embarrassing!

Esther looked at Roxanne in a funny way: "You are obviously very young too! I remember that the captain and Ms. Dai Li are both Sequence Seven. Is it rare for an Beyonder to be promoted?"

Roxanne's interest gradually dropped, she no longer smiled, and looked at Esther nervously: "Becoming an extraordinary is not a good thing, it is very dangerous... You should be a clerk like me now, right?"

Esther shook her head: "I may not be an ordinary person anymore."

"That's it. No wonder the captain will let you live down there. You know, even the caretaker will not spend the night in Chanis Gate. Night is the time when the sealing power inside is the strongest, which has a great impact on the body."

Esther avoided the topic. She didn't want to appear too "extraordinary": "But Leonard has been in Blackthorn for a while? When Ms. Daly visited me before, he seemed to be there."

"Yes, he has been here for almost three years. This year he was promoted to Midnight Poet. Considering Leonard's age, there is hope for him to go further. If his character were not too loose and likes to be lazy, the captain might I will consider training him more. Don't look at the serious look on Leonard's face just now. The day he became the 'Sleepless Man' before he could control the power of body change, he tried to sprint down the stairs, but ended up rolling like a wheel. I did it several times hahaha..."

Seeing that Roxanne became happy again, Esther couldn't help but laugh too. In addition to being fun, Roxanne's gossip could also provide her with a lot of information: "That's really tragic. As long as everything is fine."

Viola walked up from the ground. This tall, lanky girl with brown hair tied into a ponytail and freckles wore rimless glasses. She was quite delicate and elegant: "Esther, Captain Dunn asked you to go to his office."

Esther immediately stood up from the soft-sided armchair: "Okay, I'll get down right now!"

Leonard was also standing in Dunn's office. As soon as he saw Esther come in, he became even more nervous, causing Esther to cover her mouth and snicker again.

"Let Leonard take you to see the fighting teacher today."

"Okay, is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

Dunn glanced at Leonard: "You can briefly introduce the training program to her on the way and tell her the address of Gawain. You accompany Esther today, and she can go by herself next time."

Then Dunn looked at Esther again: "If you are worried about not being able to find a seat, you can take a taxi and the fare will be reimbursed."

Esther deeply felt the benefits of becoming a Nighthawk: "I know!"

"The reason why your fighting lessons are advanced is to ensure that you have the ability to protect yourself. Your current physique is stable at sequence seven, but the temple has not stated which path you came from. This is a secret that I cannot understand."

Leonard looked at the short girl in surprise. She didn't even look twenty years old, which was younger than Daley. Esther has actually reached Sequence Seven. She is definitely the best among extraordinary people, a true genius - no wonder the old man said that her fate is very strange, she is definitely not an ordinary person!

Thinking about it this way, the scene in the bookstore yesterday became very dramatic. He provoked a Sequence Seven Beyonder?

Leonard was shocked and even more embarrassed.

Esther looked innocent: "I don't know what sequence I am, I'm not even sure what abilities I have..."

Leonard had a lot of questions that he wanted to ask the old man, but in the presence of Dunn and Esther, he had to suppress his curiosity.

Dunn nodded: "So I plan to let you go to the fighting teacher for training first. This will allow you to understand your physical limits while getting exercise."

Esther had no objection, she was eager to do something now.

Leonard had some objections, but he was embarrassed to mention them. He thought about having to be alone with Esther in the carriage, and he had the urge to bury himself.

Dunn glanced at Leonard: "I thought you would be happy to sneak out."

Leonard laughed dryly: "Haha, I'll take her there right now! Don't worry, captain!"

Esther was wearing a shirt and trousers today, not a skirt, so she had no need to change. When Dunn nodded, Esther followed Leonard.

Before the two of them walked out of the door, Dunn said again: "Wait a minute, there is one more thing. You still have to change into the probationary police uniform. After all, is Mr. Gao Wen's agreement a contract signed with the Police Department? You have to show off and don't make it too difficult for him."

The two agreed and watched Dunn think for a few seconds before hearing him say again: "By the way, I asked Cesar to wait for you this morning. After changing clothes, you can go directly to him for a ride."

This time Dunn did not call out to the two of them again. Esther closed the door of the office and couldn't help but ask Leonard in a low voice: "Captain Dunn's memory is always up and down like this. He really doesn't need to see a doctor." ?"

Leonard shrugged lazily: "Captain has always been like this. I heard from Dai Li and Roxanne that he started forgetting things after he was promoted to the 'Nightmare' of Sequence Seven several years ago, and of course he only forgot small things."

"Will promotion make people prone to amnesia?"

"Not really, this is related to the ability of 'Nightmare'. Extraordinaries of this sequence can freely enter and exit the dream world, and can stay awake in dreams. They can control and construct dreams, and even directly pull other people into dreams."

"It's a very practical ability. Then it's difficult for the other party to harm 'Nightmare' in a dream?"

Leonard looked hesitant: "According to common sense, things in occult science may cause harm to the 'nightmare' that falls into the dream. I am only a 'Midnight Poet' in Sequence 8 now. Maybe I will know what it feels like when I am promoted. .”

Esther thought of her meeting with Night in her dream: "This path is the power of the night goddess, isn't it?"

"We usually call it the 'Sleepless One' path, because it is the name of Sequence Nine. Captain Dunn should have told you when he introduced Cornley and Luo Yao that they are the 'Sleepless Ones'."

Esther couldn't help but want to tease Leonard: "I heard that you fell down the stairs when you became the 'Sleepless Man'?"

Leonard was silent, and he glanced at Esther with frustration.

"Hahahaha, don't mention it, I won't mention it!" Esther grinned, "Thank you for explaining this to me."

"You're welcome."

Because Esther unkindly revealed that dark history, Leonard's answer sounded a bit gritty.
