Hearing this, Klein and Old Neil, who were panting, both had stern looks on their faces. They didn't care to say anything anymore. They dragged their tired bodies after running wildly to follow the tall boss Swain and quickly approached the place.

A cargo ship carrying a runaway person.

Perhaps the recent fighting training had an effect, as Klein quickly adjusted his breathing rhythm and regained his composure.

However, the closer the group of three people got, the more they could feel the unsettling silence on the cargo ship. There was no sound of fighting or shouting. It seemed that even the breathing was only the sound of the three people who had just passed the gangway or those who were in a hurry.

Or a steady breathing rhythm.

Klein noticed that Swain, who was clearing the way ahead, turned extremely ugly. The other party did not even have time to pay attention to the two "auxiliary personnel" behind him who lacked the ability to face the enemy head-on. He ran wildly on the deck of the cargo ship and crossed the half-mounted boat.

The mast of the ship's sail rushed towards the bow of the ship.

In order to take care of Old Neil, who was panting like an old bellows, Klein carefully pulled out the revolver from the gun bag under his arm, adjusted the firing position, and walked to the side of the ship ahead a few steps behind the former "Punisher" captain.

beside.

The first thing that caught his eye was a large hole that penetrated the deck, followed by the Punisher team members lying on the side with bleeding mouth and nose and falling into a coma.

Seemingly having checked the injured person's condition, Swain was kneeling beside the injured punisher. He took out a vial that looked like a medicine from his pocket, poured the liquid inside into the opponent's mouth, and then showed a slightly tough look.

The ground shook him awake.

The injured punisher gradually woke up under the influence of the drug. He could barely open his eyes, but he still subconsciously moved his lips and uttered a few intermittent words with difficulty.

"Old... old Steve... took advantage of the huge waves to escape... Eric, Eric... was seriously injured and was swept into the water..."

Swain, who smelled of alcohol all over his body, seemed to have instantly lost his slovenly appearance as a bar owner. He stood up with sharp eyes and asked the two night watchers in a deep voice to send one of them to take care of the injured, while the other was responsible for going to the Punisher Squad station to report the situation.

, and he himself threw down the naval officer uniform draped over his shoulders and jumped into the water.

Klein consciously took on the errand task of reporting the news, leaving Old Neil to stay where he was to take care of the wounded man. With a heavy heart, he rushed to the Punisher's station in the South District and informed him of the unfortunate accident that occurred at the dock harbor.

Those extraordinary people who threw away their cards.

The future process was not planned for the time being. In short, when everything was settled, Klein learned the follow-up of this extraordinary event from Old Neil, who was shaking his head and sighing.

The Punishers dispatched almost all members who were familiar with water to search for the runaway who escaped in the huge waves, and to search and rescue the young newcomer who was seriously injured. However, after searching all over the dock area and nearby waters, they sent

People dug thoroughly along the flow of the Tasok River, but could not find any trace of the missing two people.

They were like tiny water droplets blending into the vast ocean, completely disappearing into the city.

In Old Neil's intermittent narration, Klein gradually recalled an experience not too long ago.

That was the first time he participated in the dangerous field work of the Nighthawks, the first time he saw the strange and terrifying sealed object "2-049", the first time he personally killed the "Joker" enemy of the Secret Order...

At the end of the battle, an old man wearing a storm badge approached and politely asked the Nighthawks if they needed help. Then, he left the taciturn young punisher behind and let the man named Eric

Young people helped them clean up the scene...

out of control……

Klein silently recited the pronunciation of this word in his mind, and realized for the first time that this concept, which was frequently mentioned in the mouth of the captain and Old Neil, was actually so close to him.

Nearly a quarter of the extraordinary events every year are related to the loss of control of extraordinary people... We are guardians, and we are also a group of poor people who are always fighting against danger and madness...

The captain's words kept flashing in his mind, causing Klein's soul, which had not had time to feel confused and sad before, to be gradually filled with complex emotions of desolation, fear and sorrow.

He can be sure that now that he has completely digested the "divineer" potion, there will be almost no risk of accidentally losing control, and all this is due to the practicality and effectiveness of the "acting method".

But why doesn't the church pass on this method that can reduce risks and reduce the possibility of loss of control to the lower-level guardians? Could it be that no one in the three huge righteous churches can sum up the rules of the "acting method"?

No, this is absolutely impossible!

Ms. Dai Li is the best proof. She is a genius "psychic" who came out of Tingen City, and she has already figured out the performance elements of her own sequence of potions...

Klein was tossed about by many complex and sleepless thoughts for nearly a whole night. On weekdays, he often hinted and reminded the captain of the existence of the "acting method", as well as the sense of approaching crisis, the uneasiness and sadness of losing control, all intertwined in

Thinking together made him make a decision.

When the sun rose as usual and shone in front of the steps of the Blackthorn Security Company, Klein held his cane and wore a top hat and pushed open the door to the reception room. He greeted the lively Miss Roxanne and then went straight to the captain's office.

, knocked on the door lightly, and stepped in.

Looking into Dunn Smith's deep gray eyes, Klein smiled and said.
