Lynn is sitting on a wicker chair by the window, holding a cup of freshly brewed Black Tea in his hand, and an old novel casually pulled out from the bookshelf spread out on his knees.
This is a rare quiet moment in the Manor.
Without any warning, the light around Lynn dimmed slightly.
Black Noir is like a weightless black shadow, appearing quietly next to the wicker chair.
He did not disturb the sleeping children, but silently stretched out his hand wearing tactical gloves and placed something on the glass round table next to Lynn.
Not a single sound was made.
Lynn Close the book and look away from the page.
It was a dark gray Bracelet. The material looked neither gold nor wood, and the surface was covered with some ancient and rough textures, like a dead vine.
But when Lynn's eyes fell on this Bracelet, he could clearly feel that the surrounding air seemed to have a subtle distortion.
Lynn reached out and picked up Bracelet.
The tentacles were cold, but then, a weak but extremely familiar mental wave passed along the fingertips.
Lynn's eyes moved slightly.
He immediately recognized this feeling, which was exactly the same as the mental pressure released by the old man in their main house Tokyo Kamo Family.
"Border?"
Lynn raised his head and lowered his voice and asked.
Black Noir nodded, then took out the familiar little black book from Tactical Vest's pocket, scrawled a few words with a short pencil, and handed it to Lynn.
Tokyo On the wrist of the old man.
It was hidden and not given to the headquarters.
The handwriting is still as stiff as that of a primary school student, but these two short sentences contain a shocking amount of information.
Lynn leaned on the back of the wicker chair and looked quietly at the black-clad killer standing in front of him.
During the incident involving Tokyo, Black Noir went to the main house to kill the old owner with a last-ditch attack.
According to Vought International's iron rule, any valuable supernatural items recovered from the target must be handed over to the headquarters' special asset storage warehouse as soon as possible, and Edgar will personally review them.
But Black Noir does not.
This shadow, regarded by Edgar as the sharpest and most obedient, Vought International's most perfect killing machine, actually secretly hid this magic weapon containing "world" while cleaning up the scene, and bypassed the boss to whom he swore allegiance, and handed the thing directly into the hands of Lynn.
What is this concept?
This is equivalent to a vicious dog that always knows only one owner, suddenly spitting out the fattest piece of meat in its mouth at someone else's feet.
Lynn looked at Black Noir's calm eyes under the mask.
He did not ask Black Noir why he did this, nor did he say any nonsense words of thanks or assurance.
In the face of this kind of trust that has already put its head on the waistband, any words seem too pale and redundant.
"The size is just right."
Lynn smiled and naturally put the dark gray Bracelet on his left wrist, next to the steel band watch.
The moment Bracelet came into contact with Lynn's skin, the subtle distortion immediately disappeared, making it look like an inconspicuous and cheap street food.
Lynn slightly mobilized the power of Yasakani Blood Jade in his body. The two supernatural powers from different lands did not reject each other, but merged together perfectly.
Now, with just a thought, he can open a mental space that blocks external perception at any time.
Although Lynn does not need this thing to pretend to be a ghost, it undoubtedly adds an invisible protective cover to the children.
Black Noir saw Lynn put on Bracelet, and the shoulders under the mask seemed to relax slightly.
He put away the small notebook and turned around to return to the shadow in the corner of the living room.
"Don't stand in the corner, the sun won't shine there."
Lynn picked up Black Tea and took a sip, then pointed to the empty wicker chair next to him.
Black Noir stopped, hesitated for two seconds, and finally walked over and sat down on the wicker chair filled with sunlight.
This is a very strange scene. A man in black, exuding the aura of death, is sitting quietly next to a group of sleeping children, bathing in the warm afternoon sunshine.
Not long after, the sliding door leading to Backyard was opened.
John ran in from outside with bare feet and a few strands of grass on his trouser legs.
The boy saw the extra thing on Lynn's wrist at a glance.
He came over like a kitten guarding its food, Azure's eyes staring at the gray Bracelet.
"Lynn, what is this."
John sniffed, his keen intuition telling him that this thing was not simple.
"A new toy." Lynn pinched John's cheeks that were a little red from running, "It's a gift from Mr. Black Noir. He thinks that besides the watch, I need to add some decorations to my wrist."
John turned his head and glanced at Black Noir suspiciously.
In his subconscious mind, he needs to be wary of anything given by anyone except Lynn.
But since Lynn said it was a gift, and Lynn seemed to like it very much, the boy didn't worry about it anymore.
"It doesn't look very good, the color is too dark."
John muttered in a low voice, and then squeezed into Lynn's wicker chair very naturally. He took half of the seat and leaned comfortably against Lynn's arm.
"I think it's pretty good. It's quite versatile."
Lynn didn't feel too crowded, so he changed into a comfortable position and opened the book in his hand again.
The sunlight moves slowly on the carpet in the living room.
Black Noir is sitting on the wicker chair next to him, like a silent statue guarding his territory.
