Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

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

Monday, October 8.

After enjoying a sumptuous dinner, Embers said goodbye and left Earl Hall's house in the evening.

of course.

Although it is evening, it is not very distinguishable from daytime.

After all, Backlund is a famous foggy city, shrouded in smog produced by factories all day long.

The boundary between day and night is not clear.

Instead of returning directly from Queens to Hillston, he headed north to the North Side and then circled back to Hillston.

This has almost become his fixed route every day——

During the day, we ate and drank for free at Earl Hall's house, enjoying the Earl's exquisite and rich food and the top-quality Queen's black tea.

At the same time, he would randomly visit the detective agency in the early morning or evening every day.

After all, he felt guilty about taking the church's salary for nothing, so going around every day was considered as a way to justify his salary.

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

That's impossible.

What are you doing risking your life for a few hundred bucks?
As soon as he arrived at the detective agency, Yu Jin saw two people sitting at the table playing chess in the agency hall as if they had never changed for thousands of years.

"Good evening, everyone."

Ember asked casually, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"I would appreciate it if you could pack a portion for us after dinner at the Earl's next time."

When Al Hassan heard this, he became furious and said unhappily.

He would hang out at Earl Hall's house every day, and after eating and drinking, he would come to the detective agency for a look.

It’s more like they are here to show off rather than to punch in for work!
hateful!

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

"Don't listen to his nonsense."

Luo Luota rolled her eyes and pointed at the old man beside her. "By the way, Yu Jin, I think you still remember Old Neil, right?"

Yu Jin looked over and saw an old man with gray hair and dressed in a classical black robe reading in the light of the gas lamp.

Hearing what Lolota said, the old man stood up, took off the classic black soft hat on his head and placed it on his chest with a smile on his face.

"Good evening, Mr. Ash."

"Good evening, old Mr. Neil."

Yu Jin replied, then cast a puzzled look at Ms. Lorota.

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

At that time, he was deeply trapped in the whisper pollution of the Hidden Sage due to the hidden dangers of his own "Secret Peer" path, but now it seems that he has returned to normal.

"The higher-ups mean to let Old Neil join our team."

Luo Luota met Yu Jin's gaze and explained it again. After a pause, he said, "What do you think?"

"..."

Yu Jin looked at Old Neil and suddenly stopped talking.

This scene immediately made Old Neil nervous.

Even Al and Borgia, who seemed to be relaxing while playing chess, tensed up their bodies quietly.

Yu Jin pondered for a long time, then slowly spoke,

"I think it's great. It's always tiring to work alone. With Old Neil joining us, we can take turns with you, ma'am."

"What do you mean?"

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

"The point is to rotate. You don't need to rest anyway, right?"

Ember shrugged, but his answer made Al's face darker.

"That makes sense."

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

And Old Neil also breathed a sigh of relief.

It was Yu Jin who first saw the problem with Old Neil.

If it were anyone else, even a senior deacon would probably not be able to determine at a glance what had happened to Old Neil.

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

But even so, he was still sent to the team where Yu Jin was, hoping that Yu Jin would make the final identification.

"Let's get to know each other."

Seeing that Old Neil was in a low mood, Borgia tried to liven up the atmosphere and said, "After all, we are all teammates in the future. Understanding each other will also be beneficial for future actions."

"ember."

Yu Jin took the initiative to extend his hand to Old Neil, "Sequence 8, Master of Tricks."

"Sequence 8?"

Old Neil looked at Yu Jin in surprise, but still stretched out his hand and shook his. "You can just call me Old Neil. I'm Sequence 8 'Combat Scholar'."

As he spoke, Old Neil suddenly laughed at himself, "This can be considered a blessing in disguise. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been just a Sequence 9 'Secret Peer' until the end of my life."

"Don't say that."

Al shook his head. "Old Neil, you have served in the Nighthawks for your entire life. If the church had not lacked the subsequent potion formula for the Secret Peeper Path, you should have been promoted long ago based on your contributions. How can you say it is a blessing in disguise?"

"Not always."

Lolota also chuckled and joked, "Old Neil, you have been in Tingen all your life. It's a rare opportunity for you to come to Backlund to serve. It can be considered a blessing in disguise, right?"

Old Neil smiled in agreement, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

How's Backlund?

It is quite good, much larger and more developed than Tingen.

But he still prefers Tingen, after all, that's where he has spent his whole life.

There were also Dunn, Xijia, Luo Yao, Coenli, Leonard, Klein and Roshan. All the people he was familiar with were in Tingen. That was 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 instigation of the Hidden Sage.

Even though things have returned to normal now, there is still a possibility of being bewitched again.

The church would not feel comfortable sending him to a small place like Tingen, because if he got out of control and was not discovered in time.

The night watchmen in a small place like Tingen cannot be easily dealt with, which will inevitably cause huge losses.

and.

He couldn't stay in this team for long.

After staying behind the Chanis Gate for a full month, although the power within it was used to temporarily suppress the whispers of the Hidden Sage, no one could guarantee that he would not "relapse" again.

Once a relapse occurs, it will be necessary to continue to suppress it with the help of the Chanis Gate.

But as he stayed behind the Chanis Gate for longer and longer, his body was also "eroded" to a certain extent.

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

"And one more thing."

Al paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "We don't need to intervene in the serial murder case for now."

"Ok?"

Yu Jin looked at him with a little surprise.

"A new Beyonder has arrived in Simon's team."

With inexplicable envy in her eyes, Luo Luota explained softly, "Daly Simone, a Sequence 6 'Dead Spirit Mentor', will take over Simon's position and lead the team to continue investigating this case. By the way,"

Luo Luota glanced at Old Neil standing beside her and said, "I heard that she is also from Tingen. You should know Old Neil, right?"

"know."

Old Neil sighed softly, "But I didn't expect her to be promoted so quickly. You know, she has only been a Beyonder for five years."

"Five years?"

Al and the others looked at each other, their eyes were somewhat puzzled.

He was promoted from Sequence 9 to Sequence 6 in just five years. This was undoubtedly due to the role-playing method.
