The night watchman is undoubtedly an existence belonging to the "mysterious side" in the world in front of him.
And the knowledge and skills that really belong to the night watchman are naturally also on the 'mysterious side'.
For Jason, who has already come into contact with the "mysterious side", learning similar knowledge and skills is naturally quite tempting.
But immediately, Jason calmed down.
He couldn't just go to No. 17 Harlan Street in such an aboveboard manner.
He has not forgotten his true identity.
He's just an 'alternative heir'.
A person who has inherited the other's 'identity'.
Jason is well aware of the convenience that identity can bring.
If he hadn't inherited the name 'Jason' and the profession 'Postman', he probably wouldn't be able to survive even a day in the city that never sleeps.
Therefore, Jason did not resist the identity of 'Night Watchman'.
But different from inheriting the identity of 'Jason', when he inherited the identity of 'Jason', he also inherited part of the memory, but when he inherited the identity of 'Night Watchman', he didn't have any relevant memories at all. Not even the simplest, which puts him in a bind.
He had to be more cautious.
Just like this moment.
Unlike people who have just come into contact with the sheriff and the like, a teacher with his identity must be very familiar with 'him'.
Simply put, if he is slightly different, his flaws will be exposed.
And he, who has no memory, will inevitably show his flaws.
"How can I get my teacher to accept my changes?"
"besides… "
"He, the retired 'Night Watchman', really came to Lorde with nothing to do?"
Jason's eyes lingered on the letter paper.
Then, he shook his head slightly.
Other retirees, perhaps, will have nothing to do.
But the night watchman won't!
As a night watchman on the 'mysterious side', Jason found it hard to believe that there was such a thing as retirement.
After all, who could have predicted what would happen on the 'mystery side'.
Or to put it simply, you never know what monster you will encounter in the next moment.
Therefore, even if you are 'retiring', you should let yourself stay in a familiar place that has been 'cleaned', instead of going to an unfamiliar place, which will only increase the chance of encountering 'mysterious side' events .
unless…
The other party came to Lord intentionally.
Almost subconsciously, Jason thought of the successive attacks he had encountered.
"Is the other party related to this matter?"
Jason guessed, his eyes flickering, and suddenly, he thought of a stupid way.
Attack!
He was attacked unexpectedly!
Not just the ones everyone has seen!
But in the dark, unknown to ordinary people!
Whispers and whispers appear in my ears from time to time, making me full of irritability, anger, and madness, so that my personality has changed slightly, and even my memory has become incomplete. I can only remember myself Is a 'Night Watchman'...
After deliberating for a moment, he refolded the letter paper, put it back in the rattan box, got up and walked out.
Of course, not 17 Harlan Street.
Even if he had a reasonable excuse, he would not go to see that teacher directly, that would be too reckless.
And ignore each other
Less likely!
The student came to the place where the teacher was, but avoided seeing him. No matter how you look at it, it is tricky. Under such a premise, the teacher is very likely to find him on his own initiative.
This was a passive situation that Jason absolutely did not want to see.
Therefore, he needs a messenger.
Who better than Finch as a cop
…
The corridor of the police dormitory is not wide, at most there are two people side by side. The rooms on both sides are basically messy except for the one Jason lives in. Even if the door is locked, you can smell the strong smell of smoke , the floor Jason is on is full of single rooms for single police detectives. For the convenience of work, almost all single police detectives combine their residences and offices to form the single dormitory in front of them. The young police officers They live on the lower floor, four people share a room.
Finch was in the dormitory downstairs.
Jason knocked on the door of room 202 according to the room number that Finch told him when they parted.
Boom, boom, boom!
"I'm Jason."
Jason reported himself.
"Master Jason, please come in."
Because of the attack, Finch, who was deliberately left by Bondi to rest, immediately opened the door. The young man was dressed in casual clothes and looked at Jason outside the door with a sunny smile on his face.
"Are you okay?"
Because of the grace of saving his life, Finch used an honorific title to Jason.
Jason handed the 2 copper horns he had prepared to the other party.
This is money for mushrooms and newspapers.
"No need, just 2 copper horns..."
The young man waved his hands repeatedly, but Jason didn't intend to take the money back.
"It was agreed that it was borrowed, so of course I have to pay it back."
Jason said seriously.
Not a deliberate disguise, but a real thought.
He didn't want to owe others anything for no reason, whether it was money or favors, not to mention that it was agreed in advance.
Faced with such rhetoric, young people can only choose to accept it.
"Can Finch do me a favor?"
Jason continued.
"Of course, sir."
"What do you want?"
Finch immediately nodded and asked.
"I need you to take a message to a man named Dan at 17 Harlan Street."
"You told him that I had some troubles, not on the surface, but deeper, so I couldn't see him."
As Jason said, he keenly saw the flash of worry on the face of the young man in front of him.
Undoubtedly, the young man is kind. The other party was worried about himself. After Jason apologized from the bottom of his heart, he continued:
"It's fine."
"This trouble is still within my control."
"And, I already have a solution, in this message."
As he spoke, Jason showed a confident smile to the young man.
"That Lord Dan?"
After the young man was taken aback, he immediately guessed.
"right."
"He is my teacher."
Jason did not deny it, and named Dan's identity.
Immediately, the young man felt relieved. From Finch's point of view, Jason was a very reliable person, let alone his teacher. He must be a stronger and more reliable 'night watchman'.
"I'll go right away."
With that said, the young man walked out.
Jason watched the other party leave.
He believed that the young man would tell his teacher everything.
Then
It depends on his own on-the-spot response.
Maybe he should give himself a hard time to make himself look more miserable and convincing.
But immediately, Jason gave up this idea.
He wasn't sure if his 'teacher' could see it. Once he saw it, it would be self-defeating.
Is there any surefire solution
Thinking of this in his heart, Jason planned to return to his room, but at this moment, the door of the room was pushed open.
