The Demon’s Menu

The night watchman is undoubtedly an existence belonging to the 'mysterious side' of the world in front of him.

And the knowledge and skills that really belong to the night watchman are naturally 'mysterious'.

For Jason, who has already been exposed to the mysterious side, it is naturally quite tempting to learn similar knowledge and skills.

But immediately, Jason calmed down.

He couldn't just go to 17 Harlan Street just like that.

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 of '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 the 'Night Watchman'.

But what is different from inheriting the identity of 'Jason' is that when he inherits the identity of 'Jason', he also inherits a part of the memory, but when he inherits the identity of 'Night Watchman', he has no relevant memory at all. Not even the simplest, which put him in a dilemma.

He had to be more careful.

Just like this moment.

Unlike the sheriff and other people who have just come into contact with him, the teacher of his identity must be very familiar with 'him'.

Simply put, a slight difference in him will reveal flaws.

And he, who has no memory, is bound to reveal flaws.

How can I get my teacher to accept my change?

and also……

Did his retired 'Night Watchman' really come to Lord for nothing?

Jason's eyes wandered across the stationery.

Then, he shook his head slightly.

Other retirees, may have nothing to do.

But the Night's Watch won't!

As a night watchman on the mysterious side, Jason has a hard time believing that there is a so-called retirement.

After all, who could have predicted what would happen on the 'mystery side'.

Or simply put, you have no idea what monsters you will encounter the next moment.

Therefore, even in 'retirement', you should stay in a familiar place that has been 'cleaned up', rather than going to an unfamiliar place, which will only increase the chance of encountering a 'mysterious side' event .

unless……

The other party intends to come to Lorde.

Almost subconsciously, Jason thought of the successive attacks he had encountered.

Is the other party related to this matter?

Jason guessed, his eyes kept flickering, and suddenly, he thought of a stupid way.

Attack!

He was attacked unexpectedly!

Not just what everyone sees!

But in the dark, not known to ordinary people!

There will be whispers and whispers in my ears from time to time, making me full of irritability, anger, and madness, so that my personality has changed a little, and even my memory has become incomplete, I can only remember myself is a 'night watchman'...

After thinking for a moment, he folded the letter again, put it back in the rattan box, got up and walked out.

Not to 17 Harlan Street, of course.

Even if he had a reasonable rhetoric, he wouldn't go to see the 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 it. No matter how you looked at it, there was something tricky about it. Under such a premise, the teacher was very likely to take the initiative to find him.

This is a passive situation that Jason absolutely does not want to see.

So, he needs a messenger.

Who better to fit than Finch as a police officer?

...

The corridors of the police quarters are not wide.

At most, there are two people side by side. The rooms on both sides are basically messy except the one where Jason lives. Even if the door is locked, you can smell a strong smoke. The floor where Jason is located. They are all single rooms where single police detectives live. For the convenience of work, almost all single police detectives combine their residence and office to form the single dormitory in front of them, while the young police officers live on the lower floor. Room for four.

Finch was in the dormitory downstairs.

According to the room number that Finch told him when they parted before, Jason knocked on the door of 202.

Boom, boom, boom!

I'm Jason.

Jason reports to his home.

Your Excellency Jason, please come in.

Because of the attack, Finch, who was deliberately left by Bundy 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 his life-saving grace, Finch faced Jason with an honorable title.

Jason handed the 2 copper horns that had been prepared to the other party.

This is money for mushrooms and newspapers.

No, just 2 copper horns...

The young man waved his hands again and again, but Jason didn't mean to take the money back.

It is said that it is borrowed, and of course it must be repaid.

Jason said seriously.

Not a deliberate pretense, but a real thought.

He didn't want to owe others something 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, Your Excellency.

What do you want?

Finch nodded immediately.

I need you to bring a message to a man named Dan at 17 Harlan Street.

You told him that I had some troubles, not the superficial ones, but the deeper ones, so I couldn't see him.

As Jason said, he keenly saw the worry flashing across the face of the young man in front of him.

Undoubtedly, the young man is kind, and the other party is worried about him. For this, Jason apologized from the bottom of his heart before continuing:

nothing.

This trouble is still within my control.

And, I already have a solution, in this message.

Saying that, Jason gave the young man a confident smile.

Is that Mr. Dan?

After the young man was stunned, he immediately guessed.

right.

He is my teacher.

Jason didn't deny it and named Dan's identity.

Immediately, the young man was relieved. In Finch's view, Jason was a very reliable person, not to mention the teacher of the other party. He must be a more powerful and reliable 'night watchman'.

I'll go right away.

Saying so, the young man walked out.

Jason watched him leave.

He believed that the young man would tell his teacher everything.

Then?

It's up to him to respond on the spot.

Maybe he should give himself a bit of ruthlessness to make himself look a little more miserable and more convincing.

But immediately, Jason gave up on the idea.

He wasn't sure if his 'teacher' could see it, and if he did, it would be self-defeating.

Is there a surefire way?

With this in mind, Jason planned to return to his room, and at this moment, the door of the room was pushed open.
