Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 51 What’s the point of living on a few hundred dollars a month?
"Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?!"

Fors shrank her neck and sat down close to Xio with some fear.

At the same time, he looked around nervously, and couldn't help shuddering when he occasionally saw a dark shadow passing by outside the window.

Because they live in the Hillston area now, don’t they?!
The murderer might live next door to them!

"It's just a guess."

Unlike Fors who was very nervous, Yu Jin said calmly, "Although cultists usually can't help but kill people, they usually won't commit crimes in the same place, so it's actually safe to live here."

"Fors."

Xio's expression was also somewhat serious, and he solemnly warned, "Try not to go out at night these few days."

"Of course I know."

Fors rubbed her hair, but couldn't help but feel increasingly nervous. She consoled herself by saying, "Besides, I don't go out very often, so it's still safe...right?"

"Actually, not necessarily."

Yu Jin stroked his chin and said casually, "That Night Watchman was a Sequence 8, and he was killed in his own living room, so you'd better stay together for the next few days."

"What you said is the same as if you didn't say anything. What's the point of staying together?"

Fors said angrily.

All the official Beyonders of Sequence 8 were killed, even in their own homes.

How much use could these two Sequence 9s have even if they were together?

Would it be convenient for the murderer to kill two at once?
"Maybe I can resist a little."

Yu Jin shrugged and said casually, "If you are scared, you can find some crowded places to stay, such as salons, banquets, etc., and stay there overnight. The murderer obviously doesn't want to attract too much attention, so he probably won't commit the crime in crowded places."

Fors rolled her eyes. Isn't it the same as saying nothing?

Fortunately, she still has the necklace. If she really encounters the murderer, she can use the necklace to escape.
"In other words, you have been tracking down the murderer all day today?"

Xio felt mixed emotions after hearing this and immediately showed great respect for Yu Jin.

"Have you found any clues? About the murderer, I mean."

Fors immediately asked.

Although the necklace could save her life, she didn't want to live in fear all the time.

Of course it would be best if the murderer could be caught as soon as possible.

"do not know."

Ember said frankly.

"do not know?"

Fors was a little surprised, and Xio's eyes were also a little puzzled. "No means no, why don't you know?"

"and many more!"

Fors looked at Yu Jin in surprise. "Haven't you been tracking down clues for a whole day? Why don't you know?"

"Because I came back here right after leaving Earl Hall's house, and I didn't have time to go back and ask other team members for any clues."

"Wait a minute."

Fors noticed something strange and asked, "When did you go to Earl Hall's house?"

"morning."

Yu Jin looked calm, but Xio and Fors were shocked and their eyes suddenly widened.

"In other words, after you investigated the crime scene in the morning, you went to Earl Hall's house and stayed there until dark?"

Fors looked incredulous, and even Xiu began to doubt his life. What on earth was she so respectful about just now?
"more or less."

Ember nodded calmly.

"It's almost a ghost!"

Fors complained speechlessly, "So you've been fishing for the whole day, right?"
She originally thought she was good at slacking off, but she didn't expect that Yu Jin was even better at it than her!
She is an author after all, and her working hours depend entirely on her personal interests.

But Embers are Nighthawks!
He is an official employee, receiving double salary from the church and the police department.

As a result, he caught fish all day long, even though a colleague had died tragically!
Even if you have never met that colleague, she is a Nighthawk like you! Since you have seen how she died, don't you have any desire to avenge her?

Do you have a clear conscience?

"but……"

As Fors complained in his heart, his thoughts gradually became more diverse.

She suddenly realized a problem.

In all the time she had known Yu Jin, it seemed like Yu Jin had never done anything serious.

And she manages to knock down the embers almost every time she attends a salon.

"Don't you have to go to work?"

Fors raised the question hidden deep in his heart.

“I work flexible hours.”

Yu Jin glanced at him and said leisurely.

"What kind of flexibility?"

Fors continued to ask relentlessly.

"That's a good question."

Yu Jin pondered for a moment, then replied, "It's probably like going to work whenever you want and leaving get off work whenever you want. It's quite free."

"Are you really a Nighthawk?"

The expression on Fors's face twitched slightly. She swore that she had never seen a Nighthawk like this before.

Although Ember was the only Nighthawk she had ever seen, the Nighthawks in her impression were not like Ember!

Or has the Church of Evernight already provided such good welfare to the Night Watchers?

"If all Nighthawks are like you, I think I can do it too."

Fors couldn't help but complain, and Xio nodded silently, obviously agreeing with Fors' words.

After all, who doesn't know how to slack off?
It’s called work, but Yu Jin actually has paid vacation 365 days a year, okay?
When her father was the commander of the royal guard, he was often so busy that he couldn't go home for a month.

Because he is the most trusted person around the king, he must stay by the king's side all the time.

Compared with the embers, Xio suddenly felt that his father's efforts were totally not worth it.

"correct."

As if she had thought of something, Fors' eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Yu Jin with a hint of anticipation, "Ash, can you stay and protect me for a few days?"

"No."

Ember said calmly, "I still have work to do."

"If you don't even have to go to work, how can you have any work to do?"

Fors couldn't help but complain.

"Who told you I only have one job?"

Ember asked back.

"Eh?"

Fors looked at Yu Jin strangely, "As a night watchman, do you also take private jobs?"

Xiu often takes on private jobs outside, but this is partly because of her personality and partly because she doesn't have a proper job, so she has plenty of time.

But Embers are Nighthawks.

You are an official civil servant, and you actually take private jobs outside?
Is this really worthy of the salary the church gives you? Is this worthy of your faith in the goddess? !
Facing Fors's doubts, Yu Jin acted quite calmly.

You only get as much work as you are paid for. Why would you risk your life on a few hundred pounds a month?
What's more, he had no sense of belonging to the Church of Night.

He took the money, drank the potion, and enjoyed the convenience.

But the worst that could happen is that he could just move the Goddess of Night back a little when burning wood. This was already his greatest act of gratitude.
