Mystery: My Encounters with the Celestial God

Chapter 20 Amnesia!

When Frye and Sigia Teon arrived at the scene to handle the aftermath, they immediately noticed Leonard sitting on the ground, looking as if he had lost something, his face filled with regret and self-blame.

The blond boy with a monocle next to him was exactly as the captain had described, still scanning the two new night watchmen with his aloof gaze.

"Leonard, what happened?"

Seeing his teammate, with whom he spent every day, suddenly become so depressed, Frye, with a cold expression, stepped forward and asked him with concern.

"No, it's nothing. It's my own fault. I'll be fine after a while..."

Leonard, of course, had no face to describe what had just happened again. He looked at the clown's corpse that he had dragged nearby and sighed deeply.

I'm so damn stupid!

He suppressed the inexplicable emotions in his heart and dared not pull Ron too hard as he got into the Night Watchman's carriage.

"Ron, you must not tell anyone about what you saw today. In this country, these things are kept out of the public eye."

"If you speak carelessly, you could end up in court, or even be locked up in jail."

On the carriage, Leonard explained the explicit provisions of the secrecy regulations to Ron, hoping to make the boy realize the seriousness of the matter.

"Leonard, it's rare to see you so serious. Are you trying to maintain a sophisticated and reliable adult image in front of this child?"

Seeing Leonard's unusually serious demeanor, Sigia Teon couldn't help but laugh and teased him.

She didn't suspect her teammate's erratic behavior; she simply thought that the presence of a child nearby made Leonard subconsciously act like an adult.

"If only it were this simple..."

Leonard muttered to himself, then tilted his head slightly to look at the stubborn (proud) boy who refused to show his weakness, and felt another pang of heartache.

The carriage swayed and rattled through the streets, the soft creaking sounds like a beautiful melody played by an unseen force. In just over ten minutes, the carriage arrived at its destination.

36 Zotland Street.

Ron, who was led off the carriage by Leonard, carefully looked around and finally fixed his gaze on the house number.

Without lingering for long, or rather, without lingering at all, Ron was led by Leonard to the second floor, into the Blackthorn Security Company.

"Hi Leonard, and who is this young gentleman?"

As soon as I entered, a cheerful, lively, and curious voice came from the reception desk.

Rosanne's gaze passed over her good-looking poet classmate and landed on the equally good-looking blond boy with golden eyes.

In that instant, the lively and cheerful girl had a flash of inspiration and came up with a bold guess.

"Leonard, he's not your illegitimate son, is he?"

"After all, you two are so handsome. No, this young gentleman is clearly better looking than you."

"This means his mother must be even more beautiful, maybe even blonde..."

"Rosanne, stop, stop!"

Rosanne's bold guess startled Leonard, who, disregarding his gentlemanly manners, quickly interrupted her as she continued to speak.

Because if this isn't stopped and the matter isn't explained clearly, then tomorrow all the night watchmen at Blackthorn Security Company will know that he has an illegitimate child.

The fact that the entire Night Watch squad knew meant that the bishops of St. Serena's Church knew as well, making him too ashamed to go out and face anyone.

"Rosanne, let me explain. This young gentleman has nothing to do with me. We were just accidentally seen by him while we were on a mission."

"That's why we brought him here to sign the confidentiality agreement!"

"It really is Rosanne, this is definitely not my illegitimate child!"

Leonard, sweating profusely, repeatedly emphasized that he had no illegitimate children and was still single, which finally dispelled Rosanne's bold speculation. The lively girl sighed with a regretful expression.

"Sigh~ Leonard, I thought you already had a fiancée."

"That way, all you need to do is let your fiancée know about the Extraordinary, and she can come to work here."

"This is a very minor leak; after all, no one can hide something from family members they live with regularly."

"My goddess, if there were one more civilian staff member, I wouldn't have to live the life of rotating shifts at the armory every two days."

"My hair, my skin..."

Leonard's eye twitched as he listened to Rosanne's rambling.

However, he has other things to do now, such as the investigation of the two secret order members who appeared today.

"Rosanne, perhaps you also need a potion of the Sleepless Potion?"

"No, sleep and dreams are gifts from the goddess; they are things I cannot easily give up!"

Hearing the girl's usual rejection, Leonard gave a slight smile and bowed.

"Alright, Ms. Rosanne, I have other things to attend to, so I'll leave this little one in your care."

After saying that, he didn't care what Luo Shan said next, and hurriedly walked into the captain's office and closed the door.

Once Leonard's figure had completely disappeared from the reception hall, Rosanne turned around and looked at the blond boy who seemed to be going through a rebellious phase.

"Hi! Little one, what's your name?"

The black-haired girl never needed anyone to find topics to talk about, which is perhaps why she was assigned to the front desk as a receptionist.

"Ron Sothos."

Ron replied in his usual tone.

"Ron Sothos, I'll call you Ron!"

"Come on, little Ron, sit here. What would you like to drink?"

"We have coffee, black tea... no, someone your age should prefer sweet iced tea."

"But unfortunately, there's nowhere to buy sweet iced tea around here."

Listening to the chatter of the overly friendly girl on the sofa beside him, Ron finally understood why that guy had run so fast.

"No, no need to thank me!"

He declined the girl's offer without hesitation; to be honest, he really couldn't handle this kind of person.

Because the other person had so many topics to discuss, and he had no experience in disguising himself as a human, he simply didn't know how to respond to their conversation.

"Ron, why are you at the scene of the captain's mission?"

"You should have seen it by now, they all have amazing abilities, which are very dangerous!"

The black-haired girl leaned toward Ron with a mysterious look, wanting to reach out and pinch his cheek, but was stopped by Ron's unruly gaze and had to reluctantly withdraw her hand.

"I...I don't know either."

"I woke up in a pitch-black place where there was no up, down, left, or right. But in the very center there were seven beams of light of different colors. Then I felt a sense of weightlessness and found myself there, where I saw your captain."

Ron's words made the dark-haired girl's eyes widen. The fairytale-like scene made her subconsciously think that Ron was lying.

However, as a clerical worker on night watch, she had also witnessed many magical and bizarre events, so after a moment of surprise, she believed what Ron said.

"Then, little Ron, what about your family?"

The black-haired girl asked this question. In her opinion, the well-dressed blond boy must be someone taking care of him. Otherwise, how could a child who was at most ten years old dress himself up so neatly?

"I don't know, I seem to have forgotten a lot of things..."

The heartbreaking words that Leonard knew all too well resonated with him once again, echoing in the ears of the dark-haired girl.

Amnesia! This was Ron's nefarious plan: to get close to the successor of that shameless scoundrel, peel away his disguise bit by bit, and finally expose his evil and cunning nature!

Pretending to be weak is undoubtedly the best way to approach someone!

Typing at work is so tiring _(:з」∠)_
