The Night Watchman is undoubtedly an existence on the "mysterious side" of the world in front of us.
The knowledge and skills that truly belong to the night watchmen are naturally also on the "mysterious side".
For Jason, who has already been exposed to the 'mysterious side', learning similar knowledge and skills is naturally quite tempting.
But immediately, Jason calmed down.
He couldn't just go to 17 Harlan Street in such an open manner.
He has not forgotten his true identity.
He is just a 'different kind of heir'.
A person who inherits the other person’s ‘identity’.
Jason is well aware of the conveniences that status can bring.
If he hadn't inherited the name 'Jason' and the profession of 'postman', he probably wouldn't have been able to survive even a day in the city that never sleeps.
Therefore, Jason did not resist the identity of 'Night Watchman'.
But what is different from inheriting the identity of 'Jason' is that when he inherits the identity of 'Jason', he also inherits part of his memories. But when he inherits the identity of 'Night Watcher', he does not have any relevant memories at all.
Not even the simplest ones were available, which put him in a dilemma.
He had to be more careful.
Just like this moment.
Unlike the police officer and other people who have just come into contact with him, a teacher of his status must be very familiar with him.
To put it simply, if he is slightly different, his flaws will be revealed.
And without any memory, he is bound to show his flaws.
"How can I get my teacher to accept my changes?"
"besides……"
"This retired 'night watchman' really came to Lord's because he had nothing to do?"
Jason's eyes lingered on the letter.
Then, he shook his head slightly.
Other retirees may have nothing to do.
But, the night watchman won’t!
Being a night watchman on the 'mysterious side', it was hard for Jason to believe that there was such a thing as retirement.
After all, who can predict what will happen on the 'mysterious side'.
Or simply put, you have no idea what monster you will encounter at the next moment.
Therefore, even if you are 'retiring', you should stay in a familiar place that has been 'cleaned', rather than going to an unfamiliar place, which will only increase the chance of encountering a 'mysterious side' incident
.
unless……
The other party intends to come to Lord's.
Almost subconsciously, Jason thought about the continuous attacks he encountered.
"Is the other party related to this matter?"
Jason guessed, his eyes flashing continuously, and suddenly, he thought of a stupid way.
Attack!
He was attacked unexpectedly!
Not just what everyone sees!
But in the dark, unknown to ordinary people!
Whispers and whispers would appear in my ears from time to time, making me full of irritability, anger, and madness, so much so that my personality changed slightly, and even my memory began to become incomplete. I could only remember myself.
He's a 'night watchman'...
After thinking for a moment, he refolded the letter, put it back into the rattan box, stood up and walked out.
Of course, not to 17 Harlan Street.
Even if he had a reasonable excuse, he would not go to the teacher directly. That would be too reckless.
And ignore each other?
Even more impossible!
The student came to the place where the teacher was, but avoided seeing him. No matter how you looked at it, there was something fishy about him. Under such a premise, the teacher would most likely find him on his own initiative.
This is a passive situation that Jason absolutely does not want to see.
Therefore, he needs a messenger.
Who better than Finch, a police officer?
…
The corridor in the police dormitory is not wide. At most, two people can sit side by side. The rooms on both sides, except for the one where Jason lives, are basically messy. Even if the door is locked, you can smell the strong smell of smoke.
, the floor where Jason is located is a single room where single police detectives live. For the convenience of work, almost all single police detectives combine their residences and offices to form a single dormitory in front of them, and the young police officers
We live on the ground floor below, four people to a room.
Finch is 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!
"I'm Jason."
Jason introduced himself.
"Sir Jason, please come in."
Because he was attacked, Finch, who was left to rest by Bundy, immediately opened the door. The young man, dressed in casual clothes, looked at Jason outside the door with a sunny smile on his face.
"Are you okay?"
Because of the life-saving grace, Finch used the honorific title when facing Jason.
Jason handed the 2 copper horns he had prepared to the other party.
This is money to buy mushrooms and newspapers.
"No need, just 2 copper corners..."
The young man waved his hands repeatedly, but Jason had no intention of taking the money back.
"I agreed to borrow it, so of course I have to pay it back."
Jason said seriously.
It's not a deliberate disguise, but a real idea.
He didn't want to owe others anything for no reason, whether it was money or favors, let alone if 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, Your Excellency."
"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 tell him that I have some troubles, not superficial ones, but deeper ones, and therefore cannot go to see him."
As Jason spoke, he keenly saw the worry flashing across the face of the young man in front of him.
Undoubtedly, the young man was kind, and the other person was worried about him. Jason apologized from the bottom of his heart before continuing:
"It's fine."
"This trouble is still within my control."
"Besides, I already have a solution, just in this message."
As he spoke, Jason showed a confident smile to the young man.
"Is that Mr. Dan?"
The young man was stunned for a moment and then immediately guessed.
"right."
"He is my teacher."
Jason did not deny it and named Dan's identity.
Immediately, the young man felt relieved. In Finch's view, Jason was a very reliable person, not to mention his teacher. He must be a more powerful and 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 everything to his teacher.
Then?
It depends on his own on-the-spot response.
Maybe he should give himself a hard blow to make himself look more miserable and convincing.
But immediately, Jason gave up such an idea.
He wasn't sure if his 'teacher' could see it. Once he did, it would be self-defeating.
Is there any foolproof strategy?
With this thought in his heart, Jason planned to return to his room, but at this moment, the door to the room was pushed open.
