Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 65 Five Years!you know these five years...

Monday, October 8.

After enjoying a sumptuous dinner, Ember bid farewell and left Earl Hall's house in the evening.

of course.

Although it is said to be in the evening, the degree of recognition from the daytime is actually not very high.

After all, Backlund, as a famous city of smog, is shrouded in the smog generated by the factory all day long.

The boundaries between day and night are not sharp.

He did not return directly from Queens to Hillston, but headed north to the North District and then circled back to Hillston.

This has almost become his daily routine——

Eat and drink at Earl Hall's house during the day, enjoy the exquisite and rich food of Earl's house and the top Queen's black tea.

At the same time, he will randomly go to the detective agency every morning or evening.

After all, his conscience feels bad for taking the church's salary for nothing, and it is worthy of his salary to go around every day.

As for asking him to stay in the detective agency all day?

That's impossible.

What kind of life are you playing with a few hundred dollars?
As soon as he arrived at the detective agency, Ember saw two people sitting at the table playing chess in the hall of the detective agency as if they hadn't changed for thousands of years.

"Good evening, everyone."

Ember asked casually, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"I think I'd appreciate it if you could pack us a treat next time after dinner at the Earl's."

Al Hasson was very angry when he heard this, and he was not in a good mood.

Every day I go to Earl Hall's house to fool around, and when I am full, I come to the detective agency for a walk.

Rather than saying that I came to clock in for work, it is better to say that I came to show off on purpose!
hateful!

He also wants to stay with the daughter of the noble family all day long!

"Don't listen to his nonsense."

Lolota rolled her eyes, and casually pointed to the old man beside her, "By the way, Ember, I think you still remember Old Neil, right?"

Ember looked over, and saw an old man with gray hair and wearing a classical black robe was reading by the light of the gas lamp.

Hearing Lolotta's words, the old man stood up and took off the classic black soft hat on his head and put it on his chest, smiling.

"Good evening, Mr. Ash."

"Good evening, old Mr. Neal."

Ember replied, and then cast doubtful eyes on Ms. Lolotta.

The old man in front of him was none other than the Extraordinary Old Neil whom he had met in Tingen City before.

At that time, he was deeply polluted by the whispers of hidden sages because of the hidden danger of his "Secret Peer" path, but now it seems that he has returned to normal.

"The meaning above is to let Old Neil join our team."

Facing Ember's gaze, Luo Luota explained it again, paused and said, "What do you think?"

"..."

Ember looked at Old Neil, and suddenly stopped talking.

This scene immediately made Old Neil nervous.

Even Al and Borgia, who seemed to be relaxing at the side and were playing chess, quietly tensed up.

Ember pondered for a long time, then slowly said,

"I think it's pretty good. Working alone is always a little tiring. With Old Neil joining, I can take turns with you, Ma'am."

"What do you mean?"

Al glared at him angrily, "We're not human, are we?"

"The point is rotation, you don't need to rest anyway, don't you?"

Ember shrugged, but his answer made Al's face darken even more.

"It makes sense."

Luo Luota's eyes lit up, and she nodded thoughtfully.

And Old Neil quietly heaved a sigh of relief.

Without him.

Ember was the one who saw what was wrong with Old Neil at first.

If it were someone else, even a senior deacon might not be able to determine what happened to Old Neil at a glance.

That's why Old Neil received a full month of 'treatment' inside Chanis Gate.

But even so, he was still sent to Ember's team, hoping that Ember would make the final identification.

"Let's get to know each other."

Seeing that Old Neil was in a low mood, Borgia tried to cheer up the atmosphere, "After all, we are teammates who will get along with each other in the future, and understanding each other will also benefit future actions."

"ember."

Ember took the initiative to reach out to Old Neil, "Sequence 8, master of tricks."

"Sequence 8?"

Old Neil looked at Ember in surprise, but still stretched out his hand to hold him together, "Just call me Old Neil, Sequence 8 'Fighting Scholar'."

As he said that, Old Neil suddenly laughed at himself, "I'm probably a blessing in disguise, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be just a Sequence 9 'Secret Peer' until the end of my life."

"Don't say that."

Al shook his head, "Old Neil, you have been on duty in the Nighthawks all your life, if the church lacked follow-up potion formulas for the Mystery Path, it would have been your turn to be promoted in terms of contribution, how can you say it was a blessing in disguise? "

"Not always."

Lolotta also chuckled lightly and joked, "Old Neil, you've been in Tingen all your life, so it's rare to have the opportunity to be on duty in Backlund, isn't it a blessing in disguise?"

Old Neil echoed with a smile, but he couldn't help but sighed in his heart.

How is Backlund?

It's pretty good, much bigger and more developed than Tingen.

But he still prefers Tingen, which is, after all, where he has been all his life.

There are also Dunn, Bernard, Sika, Luoyao, Kernley, Leonard, Klein and Roseanne, and all the people he is familiar with are in Tingen, which is his eternal home.

Unfortunately.

He might never have the chance to go back for the rest of his life.

After all, no matter what, he almost lost control under the bewitchment of the hidden sage.

Even though it has returned to normal now, there is still the possibility of being bewitched again.

The church would not trust him to send him to a small place like Tingen, because once he got out of control, he couldn't be found in time.

Nighthawks in a small place like Tingen couldn't be easily dealt with, and it would inevitably cause great losses.

and.

He can't stay on this team for long.

After staying behind the Chanis Gate for a full month, although he temporarily suppressed the hidden sage's whispers with the help of its power, no one can guarantee whether he will "relapse" again.

Once it relapses, it is bound to continue to use Chanis Gate to suppress it.

But as he spent more and more time behind Chanis Gate, his body also suffered a certain degree of 'corrosion'.

Therefore, for Old Neil, becoming the caretaker behind Chanis Gate is undoubtedly his best destination.

"there's one more thing."

Al paused for a moment, and suddenly said, "The serial murder case doesn't need us to intervene for the time being."

"Ok?"

Ember gave him a slightly surprised look.

"Simon's team has a new Extraordinary."

With indescribable envy in Lolotta's eyes, she explained softly, "Daily Simone, a Sequence 6 'Necromancer', she will take over from the dereliction of Simon and lead the team to continue to investigate this case. By the way ,"

Lolotta glanced at Old Neil, "I heard that she also came from Tingen, you should know Old Neil, right?"

"know."

Old Neil sighed softly, "It's just that I didn't expect her to be promoted so quickly. You know, it's only been five years since she became a Extraordinary."

"Five years?"

Al and the others looked at each other, their eyes were a little inexplicable.

He was promoted from Sequence 9 to Sequence 6 in five years, which is undoubtedly the credit of the acting method.
