Chapter 380 Night Watch
Barrow opened his eyes and saw white walls and various life monitoring instruments.
The smell of disinfectant...
It should be in the hospital.
Are you not dead?
A kind of joy of surviving the disaster came to my mind.
"You're awake."
The burly man came closer, glanced at him, and put the water glass on the table nearby:
"Feeling How about it?”
“It’s you!”
Barrow recognized the person, the strange man who had been penetrated through the heart by the black tentacle but was completely fine.
"Introduction." The strong man stretched out his hand:
"Nightwatchman Chris."
Nightwatchman?
Barrow's eyes were filled with confusion, and then he seemed to think of something, his eyes widened, and he suddenly sat up from the bed:
"How is the laboratory?"
"There was a fire in the laboratory, and everything inside was burned." Chris shrugged:
"Don't worry, the investigation showed that it was a fire. Unexpectedly, the insurance company will pay for the losses of Billiton Group."
"Well..."
He touched his stubble-covered chin and said:
"The insurance company seems to be owned by the Billiton Group."
"Accident?" Barrow looked surprised:
"It's not that monster..."
"This There are no monsters in the world." Chris smiled:
"At least in the eyes of ordinary people."
"No monsters?" For a moment, Barrow almost thought that the experience of the past few days was a dream, but in an instant he realized that it was not a dream, but something that really happened, and he couldn't help but ask:
"What is this thing on me?"
"A kind of parasitic monster." Chris pulled up a chair and sat down, took out a cigar from his body, cut it and put it in his mouth:
"It is said to be an alien creature, who knows?"
Parasite?
Alien creatures?
Barrow's eyes were in a trance.
“Here.”
Chris handed over a water glass, and Barrow subconsciously took it. He felt it sink in his hand and then clenched it tightly.
This scene made Chris’s eyes flash slightly.
"You have already been exposed to the other side of the world, so it doesn't hurt to tell you."
"Beyond the 'world' that ordinary people know, there are many 'things' that are difficult to explain with 'common sense'."
The cigar lit up, with smoke curling up. Chris's slow voice came from it:
"This world is very complicated, with all kinds of monsters, strange appliances, mysterious and strange existences..."
"They are among human beings. ”
"The parasitic monster attached to your body is one of them. It is controlled by a mother body from a distance, and has strength, speed and recovery capabilities far beyond ordinary people."
"Parasite monster?" Barrow subconsciously said He touched his neck and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no injury. , asked:
"If the monsters in your mouth are as strong as that thing, why are you still hiding?"
"Because of us." Chris chuckled:< br>
“The Night Watch.”
"We are the guardians of order, the nemesis of monsters, the guardians of mankind, and the defenders of history..."
"Hehe..."
He chuckled while holding a cigar:
“Does it give people a strong sense of mission?”
Uh...
Barrow laughed dryly.
"Parasitic monsters are the lowest level of monsters. Even ordinary people have a chance to solve them." Chris sighed:
"A truly terrifying existence..."
" They can distort time, modify history, and deny common sense. Maybe this world was created by a monster."
"Ah!" Barrow was stunned.
"Let's not talk about that for now." Chris waved his hand to disperse the smoke in front of his eyes and said:
"Young man, you are about to graduate. Have you found a job that meets your expectations?"
"Professor Carl said that you can continue to hire me to work in the laboratory, or write a letter of introduction to the companies under the Billiton Group." Barrow said:
"I should still be engaged in scientific research. "
"Not bad." Chris nodded:
"How much is the monthly salary?"
"It can be two thousand pounds."
"Are you interested in being a night watchman? The basic salary is four thousand pounds, there are bonuses when you go out to perform tasks, and there is also a rental allowance. , with an average monthly income of 6,000, which is after-tax income.” 6,000 after-tax income!
They definitely belong to the high-income group in Fast City.
Barrow couldn't help but gasp, but his heart suddenly shuddered when he thought of what he might come into contact with.
“Forget it!”
“I’m just an ordinary person.”
“An ordinary person?”
Chris took the hand of Barrow. The glass of water was gently thrown to the ground.
"Peng!"
It was as if hundreds of kilograms of weight fell on the ground, and a dent was made in the hard quilt.
“Ordinary people can’t hold this thing.”

This is not a hospital, but an underground base somewhere of the Night Watch, Chris said so.
Going out of the room is a long passage.
The entire passage is made of unknown metal material, giving people a solid and unbreakable feeling.
“Extraordinary abilities are usually inherited from bloodlines and obtained after contact with certain special items.”
Chris said as he walked:
“A very small part of it can be obtained through study and practice.”
“Can you learn extraordinary abilities through study?” Barrow looked surprised.
“Of course.”
Chris nodded:
"Extraordinary power is not new now. Some of the existences of paladins and magicians in ancient times were also real."
"It's just that not everyone can acquire extraordinary abilities through learning. In fact, There are very few of them.”
“ The Night Watch has a legacy left by the Holy See hundreds of years ago, but only a handful of people can practice it successfully."
"Where are you?" Barrow nodded and asked:
"Where did you get your ability?"
"Some kind of strange object." Chris shrugged:
"I accidentally swallowed something when I was a child, and then I had the ability to control flesh and blood."
Control flesh and blood?
Barrow looked at the other person's body and nodded thoughtfully.
Chris's strength, speed and recovery are extremely powerful, and he can't even be killed by being penetrated through the heart.
It should also be the result of special abilities.
“That!”
Pointing to the handsome blond man playing with a pen not far away, Chris said:
“The golden retriever’s ability is ‘weapon connection’. This It’s an ability he inherited from his grandfather.”
“Some abilities can be given to others.”
Weapon connection?
Barrow turned his head and saw the 'Golden Retriever' nodding. At the same time, the pen in his hand levitated in the air and spun around.
!
Oh my God!
Barrow's eyes widened with wonder on his face.
"Diana, psychic perception can be understood as mind reading. You can know what the other person is thinking just by looking at each other."
?
Barrow lowered his head subconsciously, which was followed by a burst of laughter.
"Your ability is quite special. It was obtained through genetic modification, and it is also the current scientific research direction of the Night Watch Organization."
Chris said:
"Some people want to create an army of extraordinary beings, but unfortunately..."
"Test your ability first."
"Mr. Chris." Barrow said hurriedly:
"I'm just cooperating to test my abilities, and I don't plan to join the Night Watch organization."
"Of course." Chris chuckled.
But in my heart I disagreed.
It is a certain iron law that it is difficult for people who have been exposed to the other side of the world to return to the world of normal people.
Pretending to be an ordinary person is an ordinary person?
Impossible!
Chris believes that Barrow will come here again sooner or later and become a member of the Night Watch.
