Dunn now lives in the East District of Backlund. Apart from occasionally playing detective roles to earn commissions, he usually goes on missions with Daly.

He was very happy about their visit and hurriedly invited them into the house and prepared drinks for them.

"Who's coming?"

As soon as the two entered the room, they heard a lazy voice, and then Daly walked out of the bedroom barefoot. She was not wearing her usual black hooded robe, but a set of pajamas. Her face was not painted with weird eye shadow and blush. She looked clean and beautiful. The two almost didn't recognize her at first glance.

"It's Edward and Klein."

Daly yawned, "Morning."

"Oh~"

The two of them immediately looked at Dunn with a look of surprise.

Dunn's face turned slightly red, but he pretended to be calm and composed. "The lease of the house that Daley rented before has expired. I have an extra vacant house here, so you can stay here for now. I'll move out when I find a suitable one."

Klein looked at Daly and smiled, "Ms. Daly, what kind of house are you looking for? I think there are a lot of empty houses over there."

"Hmm."

She leaned against the wall, clenched her chin and thought, "The monthly rent cannot be more than 10 soli, and the house should be a two-story detached house. The area should be in Queens, the North District, and the Hilton District, and the gas should be free."

Klein opened his mouth and said, "You're not looking for a house, you're making a wish!"

No, you don't want to move away at all, right?

Edward sighed in his heart that it seemed that the psychological treatment Audrey had given to Daly recently was very effective.

"Ahem."

Dunn coughed at this time, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"That's right, Captain. I plan to go find Leonard and tell him that you and Klein are not dead."

Dunn was stunned: "Why so sudden?"

Edward then talked about his cooperation with Leonard and his misunderstanding of him.

Daly said at this time: "Leonard has confirmed that Edward is in Backlund, and is now looking for you every day. "

Edward was surprised: "How did he know for sure?"

"It should be Cecima who told him." She smiled, "You forgot that you were introduced to the Tingen Nighthawks by Cecima. I heard that when he was receiving training in the Red Gloves, he kept asking Cecima for an explanation, and even... took action many times."

This... is too brave.

"Sesima is also helpless about this. It was Backlund's idea to let you join the Tingen team. He also wants to know why you 'betrayed' the church."

"Until they arrived in Backlund a while ago, they immediately went to look for Archbishop Anthony, but that Monsignor had been out and had not returned."

Edward roughly understood it. He had also said it when he met Cecima two days ago. His superiors told him that he was not a traitor, but did not tell him the exact situation. So in order to prevent Leonard from harassing him again, he simply told him that "Edward is in Backlund" and let him find him himself.

Thinking of this, he laughed: "Then I will take the initiative to send it to his door now. Leonard will definitely be very surprised."

Daly was also very happy: "I'll go and help you call him out."

Klein and Dunn looked at each other: Why does it seem like they are teaming up to persecute Leonard?

...

2:30 in the afternoon.

After another meeting with the Mechanical Heart, everyone had to admit the fact that the Apostle of Desire who killed Duke Negan might have escaped from Backlund.

Therefore, this joint action will end in failure.

This result was undoubtedly a huge blow to Leonard. Everyone trusted him so much and taught him how to control the silver armor, but in the end, he only killed the pet that the Apostle of Desire threw out to block the bullets.

Of course, his blow did not only come from this, but also from two enemies: Ince Zangwill and Edward, there is still no news, and the revenge between the captain and Klein is still far away. /Bi Qi-Chinese/Wang? *Geng?New¨蕞*All￠

This made him feel that all his efforts during this period were a waste of time and he felt like a waste.

"Tsk, giving up so easily?" Pales' voice sounded in his mind.

"Who said I gave up?"

Leonard immediately said, "Although I was hit... and felt like a loser, I didn't give up! How could I give up?!"

"Then continue to improve your strength! The current progress of your nightmare digestion is not optimistic."

"Because... I have been undergoing training, participating in operations and investigating clues about those two guys."

"You know that too?" Pales snorted, "To act out a nightmare, you need to enter someone else's dream while asleep, but look at what you have been doing during this period of time?"

Leonard bowed his head: "I'm sorry, old man."

"The person you feel sorry for is not me, but yourself, Klein and Dunn!"

"…"

He clenched his fists.

Just then, a figure came over. It was Ms. Daly, wearing a hooded black robe.

Leonard has always respected her. Although he didn't know the relationship between Dunn and Daly, he vaguely knew that they had a good relationship. He also saw Ms. Daly crying when she attended the captain's funeral.

Daly said, "Leonard, come with me to the East District."

"What's wrong, Ms. Daly?"

"There are extraordinary events that require your nightmare abilities."

Leonard asked without any surprise, "Is this the case of Backlund's mass disappearance during this period?"

Many people have been missing in Backlund recently. The Church of Evernight originally wanted the Nighthawks to handle this matter, but there was no progress, so the Red Gloves were asked to get involved.

"No, you'll know when you come."

"All right."

Pales said calmly, "There is a problem."

Leonard was puzzled: "What's the problem?"

"Heh, if an extraordinary event had reached the point where a Sequence 5 had to intervene, she shouldn't have brought just you, but a whole team."

"Not necessarily? Are you overthinking it?"

In response, Pales said two words: "Haha."

The two of them boarded the carriage specially equipped by Red Gloves and headed for the East District.

Leonard wanted to find some topics to talk about along the way, but Daly closed her eyes and said nothing as soon as she got in the car. He had no choice but to close his eyes and take a nap. He was really tired from tracking down the Apostle of Desire day and night.

I don't know how much time had passed.

Suddenly the carriage paused and stopped.

Leonard opened his eyes immediately: "What's wrong?"

Before Daly could answer, Pales said, "There's an ambush! Give me your body!"

"What?"

"It's too late!"

Daley then looked at Leonard and said, "Leonard, someone wants to see you."

Leonard said calmly: "I don't want to see you."

Daly was stunned: "What?"

But soon, Leonard, or rather Pales, changed into Leonard's usual attitude and said with a smile: "Who wants to see me?"

Dai Li opened the door and jumped out of the carriage. She smiled and said, "You'll know when you get off. But I'll tell you in advance, don't get too excited later."

"Who is it, so mysterious?"

Leonard jumped off the carriage with a puzzled look on his face, and found that this was a relatively remote street. There was no one on either side, and the coachman had already fallen asleep leaning against the carriage.

"Good afternoon, Leonard."

Soon, Edward, Crane, Dunn and the other two came out. Dunn and Crane took off their disguises and showed their true appearance.

They were prepared for all of Leonard's reactions: doubt, anger, surprise, happiness...

But he just flashed his eyes and said, "Good afternoon, Edward, Klein, and Captain."

The four of them were stunned.

This is not the scene I expected. Even if you believed at first glance that Klein and Dunn were resurrected, you shouldn't have such a dull emotion.

Leonard then said, "Edward, can I talk to you alone?"

As soon as he said this, Edward immediately understood. He glanced at Klein and Dunn and said:

"Captain, Klein, wait for us for a moment."

The two walked away side by side. Edward frowned and asked, "Old man, what do you mean?"

Pales snorted, "What do you mean?"

"That's right... Leonard still misunderstands me, right? I was thinking of bringing Klein and the captain to clear up the misunderstanding with him."

Edward asked in confusion: "Why didn't you tell Leonard the truth?"

"Because I hope to use hatred to change his previous lax character."

Pales said calmly: "The Tingen incident brought him not only hatred, but also motivation. If he loses the support of this hatred, I am worried that he will become the same as before."

Edward suddenly realized: "So, you didn't tell him on purpose?"

He nodded. "At least until he is promoted to Sequence 5, I think it would be better for him to maintain this motivation."

"But isn't this too cruel to him?"

"It's just carrying a non-existent hatred. How can it be considered cruel?" Pales snorted. "It's better than waiting until the end of the world and then he will be just a mid-sequence ant. Heh, hasn't he always called himself the protagonist? Am I not creating conditions for him?"

Edward asked curiously, "Are you really treating Leonard as your own junior?"

Pales did not comment and continued, "You seem to know me very well? I wanted to ask you before, how did you find out about my existence, and why do you know me so well? Are you a disciple of one of my old friends?"

"I guess so."

Edward gave an ambiguous answer, "Everything I know about you was told to me by a mysterious great being that I believe in."

"Oh? Who?"
