In the dark night, a cargo ship slowly docked at the port in the eastern suburb of difia.

The temporary workers began to unload on the cargo ship and came down with large and small bags.

"You say this employer is also interesting. It's so late that you can't unload it tomorrow. It's just a pile of flour."

A worker carrying a sack chatted with his workmates.

"Hey, no matter what they do, it may be that big businessmen are supplying goods. People in the city are eager to do it."

The worker smiled, "it's not a matter of working at any point. The key is that people are rich and give double wages. If there is such a good thing, I'm willing to work overtime every day."

"Cut, you can't use up your strength. You work overtime every day. You haven't carried enough during the day?"

Not far away, a worker listened to him and smiled.

At this time, on the side of the ship, a man in a black cloak looked at the delivery of the goods and said loudly, "unload faster, don't chat. After unloading the goods before dawn, the salary will be doubled."

After listening to the principal, the workers present worked harder to carry the goods.

........

In the classical and elegant room, the fire in the fireplace burns quietly, making a crackle or two from time to time.

After taking a bath, Lu Chen sat on the sofa and browsed through some documents.

Under the guidance of Clementine, an enthusiastic guide, he had a long lost meal in the pedestrian street in the evening and experienced the style of this water country cuisine.

Leng Yue lives in the villa next door. Now the world channel has not been opened. Although they are friends, they are not in the same team and cannot communicate remotely, but they can respond to any news at such a close distance with their strength at any time.

Lu Chen put down the material in his hand and rubbed the center of his eyebrows.

I'm not tired, but I feel a little nodded.

His psychic awareness is very accurate. He vaguely feels that the matter of the death note may not be so simple.

It's not that the strange object of the death note is difficult to deal with, but that he thinks it's too abnormal.

In the final analysis, such a secret object that is aggressive and has little destructive power is only an object in itself. Why did the Church of hunhang province next door fail to accept it in those years?

After the failure of reception, where are the death notes all these years? Why do they cross the distance of one province and appear in the north of Noah province?

Lu Chen just received a contact from Chu Zihang. According to Chu Zihang's analysis, the death note probably didn't happen to appear in difia City, but was brought by someone.

The material Lu Chen saw just now is a "high-end course" on mysterious items borrowed from the morning support Church of Difei Adam

It records all kinds of secret items held by the Church of difia ChenYong. Of course, the most terrible thing in their showroom is the danger level.

In the material he got, there were 53 kinds of mysterious objects, recording their various characteristics.

Because before, he was like an "illiterate" about all kinds of things in the world. After all, he did not receive several years of learning and training like the traditional night watchman. He knew little about the other side of the night in academic terms.

After reading the materials, Lu Chencai found a problem, that is, most secret items are not very aggressive. They need to trigger specific conditions before they can erupt into unique powers.

And these secret items, if used properly, are also helpful to the work of the night watchman.

For example, the mythical black blade he got is essentially a mysterious object, but it is forged from a strange source combined with special metal.

The black blade is classified as dangerous in the showroom because it has unknown characteristics even if it is an artifact created after the day.

For example, when using this black blade, it will gradually affect people's character and aggravate their killing. If the night watchman who uses it cannot control himself, he will eventually become a madman who can only kill.

In the materials of the difia church, most of the mysterious items Lu Chen saw were similar.

Everyone who wants to wear a pair of red shoes will have an impulse to see its beautiful appearance.

Once you put on this pair of red dance shoes, you will dance involuntarily and can't stop, and the dance contains special magic, which will make all ordinary people who see the dance dance dance together until death.

Clementine, who sent the information, briefly introduced these items to Lu Chen. He may think Lu Chen wants to use the collection in the exhibition room of the difia church to assist in completing the task.

Referring to the red dance shoes, Clementine also said that he had not withstood the temptation when he was just promoted to a dangerous night watchman. He wore these red dance shoes and danced in the church. Fortunately, it was night and the believers had dispersed. Otherwise, it was a large-scale social death scene.

Finally, the high-risk senior who was still alive at that time helped him take off his red dance shoes, otherwise he would dance all the way through difia and set off a frenzy.

Most of the mysterious items are like this. They usually need people as a "medium" to launch, which is not as simple and direct as those weird things.

The most direct feature is that, generally speaking, they don't move by themselves.

Yes, when no one touches the secret items, in a sense, they are very safe. Therefore, many of the items in the internal showroom of the church are secret items, and there are a lot less weird.

General night watchmen choose to "cripple" the strange capture methods, collect the source of strength, block them in the showroom, and weaken them regularly to ensure safety.

Lu Chen looked at the information on the tea table. If so, the death note appeared in difia, which is really thought-provoking.

This is different from the mysterious items exposed to the eyes of the church for the first time. Many mysterious items are unearthed from the cemetery and then tossed in the hands of collectors. After the unlucky ones appear, the church goes to deal with them.

According to the information Leng Yue learned, the mysterious items should be the heritage of the first and second eras.

Lu Chen still remembers that the mysterious smell in Louise's brother's house dissipated after leaving from the window.

Death note... Can it really move by itself?

........

In a flash of time, another five days passed. Lu Chen hardly went out except for his daily meditation practice.

Occasionally I went to the pedestrian street and had a night snack at night. Lengyue was not idle. She helped the local church deal with two security level monsters in difia and received a small bonus.

Dong Dong Dong——

The knock on the door sounded, and Lu Chen put down his tea cup, "please come in."

He didn't lock the door at all, and this kind of door can't stop the extraordinary.

Lengyue opened the door and came in, "Mr. Lu, I feel something is wrong."

Lu Chen raised his hand and asked Lengyue to sit down. "Is there any basis?"

"First of all, as Mr. Lu said before, if someone really gets the note and is not completely eroded and is a qualified 'master', he should be impatient to start after a period of careful observation."

Lengyue said, "The death note is not a kind tool to the owner. Whether it is weird or mysterious items, it is essentially the will of evil ancient gods. They are natural to kill creatures and harvest fear, because that will make them stronger. Even if the person who finds it is a very calm ordinary person with spiritual attributes beyond ordinary people, it is impossible to resist 'killing' under the influence of the death note Meaning '"

She observed Lu Chen's expression and saw that Lu Chen didn't refute. She continued: "in this case, the DEATH NOTE will forcibly manipulate the 'master' to kill, otherwise it won't be a secret object."

Lu Chen nodded and looked appreciative. "The analysis is good. Continue."

Lengyue modestly said, "Mr. Lu must have thought of it. I'm just saying that the second basis is myself."

At this point, she took out a prop and blocked the whole living room to prevent external eavesdropping and snooping.

"My main task appears."

The Cold Moon said faintly.

This time, Lu Chen raised his spirits, "is it related to the death note?"

Lengyue shook her head. "There is no mention of the death note. The task name is' eternal night ', which is to let me live in difia for three days. The upper limit of difficulty is... Nightmare."

"Nightmare?"

Lu Chen was stunned. Leng Yue is a sixth order supermodel. How can the first ring of the main task be the first level?

Doesn't that mean that the danger she has to face is at least reaching the seventh level of existence?

The highest agility attribute of Lengyue has reached 155 points, which is comparable to the ordinary explorer who has just entered level 7.

"Well, so I feel that the death note is just the beginning, or something is lurking in the city and sprouting quietly."

Leng Yue nodded. The girl's facial paralysis reminded Lu Chen of a junior sister in the Dragon world.

At this time, speaking of the difficult task of his nightmare, it seems that it doesn't matter at all.

Lu Chen knows that the evaluation of task difficulty is based on the current strength of the explorer, such as the difficulty level. For him, at least he is an opponent who seems to have his own attributes and may not be able to win thousands of rounds.

Nightmare level indicates that the attribute of the target is better than yourself, but it is possible to win by taking advantage of the situation, cooperating with teammates, or fighting desperately.

As for death... Literally.

However, the tasks given by space have intervals in difficulty, which will become simple according to the way of completion.

"It's interesting. It seems that the death note was really brought by an outsider. This item was not taken in seven years ago. I'm afraid it has an unknown secret."

Lu Chen smiled, and Lengyue's words reassured him.

Anyway, since the other party's task is limited to three days, there will be a big event in difia within three days.

At that time, whether the death note appears or there are other strange things, it can become a step for his "promotion".

"Can I act in advance and kill all suspicious targets?"

Lengyue asked in the words of asking for instructions, because she didn't know what the man in front of her thought and whether there would be other plans.

For her, as a lone wolf, she doesn't intend to complete the task with the help of others. Although the column of task difficulty indicates that the lowest difficulty is simple.

As for why it is simple, from the perspective of taking advantage of the situation, as long as Lu Chen helps, it is simple.

But if she wants to prepare herself, she can't wait to die. She needs to prepare in advance to nip the danger in the cradle.

Lu Chen pondered for a moment, "... Let's see what they're going to do first. It's a good opportunity for you and me to explore."

After thinking about it, he added, "if you don't mind, I'll do it when necessary."

"Listen to Mr. Lu's arrangement."

Leng Yue nodded. Of course she didn't mind. Pride doesn't mean stupidity.

Moreover, if they act in advance, they will not know the follow-up secrets. This may be an opportunity to further explore the truth of the world.

Lu Chen's idea is very simple. He thinks things are a little bigger and stronger. After he solves them, he will get a higher salary, which is conducive to his promotion.

Lengyue's task is difficult. He is not a wave, but is confident to solve this matter when taking into account the safety of civilians in the city.

........

The next morning, Lu Chen took a walk to the church and returned all kinds of confidential information.

When he walked out of the church, he saw a girl in a patched cotton padded clothes at the corner of the street. She was wearing cotton padded shoes with some open threads on her feet. Her brown hair was slightly messy in the cold wind, and her little face was red with cold.

The other party saw himself and trotted all the way with hope, "big brother, did you... Catch the murderer?"

Louise signed a confidentiality agreement. She can't mention the name of the death note outside. She waited outside the church for several days and didn't see Lu Chen.

She asked other priests, but they all said they didn't know someone named Lu Chen, which made her think that her brother's death was "over" in the eyes of the church

Lu Chen looked at the girl whose hands and face were red with cold and touched her head because it was dry and fluffy. "It's cold outside. Go home and I'll catch the murderer."

Louise felt the warm palm and thought of her brother. Her eyes and nose were sour. "I... if I can't find it, can I let my brother go home first?"

Lu Chen was stunned and didn't understand the girl's meaning for a moment.

Louise looked at the church. "Brother... Brother's body has been taken away and hasn't come back yet."

Lu Chen sighed in his heart, "believe me, there will be results soon. The murderer will 'subdue the law', your brother will go home, and you..."

He looked at his daughter's clothes and frowned. "What we should do now is to take care of ourselves. Didn't I give you two pounds before?"

Louise lowered her head and looked at her feet. "I, I only have this money now. In the cemetery in the western suburbs, the burial fee is three pounds. Dad is there. I hope my brother can see dad in heaven."

Lu Chen felt in his chest pocket, took out a three pound pen and paper and handed it to Louise, "good, go back and have a good rest."

Then he walked away.

It turns out that no matter what the world is, there are always people who can't afford to die.
