Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 115 When the Wind Rises

Ace Snake left the Eastern District soon, and the Punisher received clues about the "Apostle of Desire" Patrick Jason Beria, and he was going to participate in the operation to encircle and suppress this demon. Time is delayed here. Anyway, when things come to a conclusion, reports of this level will be shared by the three churches in order to avoid irreversible catastrophes.

This afternoon, Klein did not meet Dr. Allen who sent his wife for a physical examination at the Kragg Club, and did not speculate that Will Auceptin started the cycle for the time being, but the strong wind outside the window still made him doubtful.

Not long after, Ikanser Bernard, who belongs to the Heart of the Machine, came here. He told Klein that Jason had escaped from the siege of the punishers again, and the "Singer of God" was furious. That gust of wind.

After all, there is always the process of certain things, which will not change due to accidents.

When the two Orthodox churches were worrying about the "unidentified evil god incident" in the eastern region, and the Church of the Storm was getting angry about the "devil apostle", Duke Negan rode in his comfortably furnished luxury carriage to visit his favorite place in the past two years. A young mistress.

Duke Negan's destination was in the Jowood area, not far from the Holy Wind Cathedral. He moved the residences of several lovers to this neighborhood just to protect himself.

And the assassin had already hidden here.

The assassination of a duke, the interception of the "Rogue Dark Emperor" and the twilight above the trend of the times have nothing to do with Esther directly.

She knew nothing about it.

The East District also quickly returned to normal. People did not have much time to immerse themselves in the "illusion" of that moment. They quickly adjusted themselves to face the reality, and after getting rid of the short-term trance, they quickly forgot the illusion of looking up at the light , can't remember what happened.

Esther nestled into a public library in Hillston, thinking about what to do next in the thick and drowsy history books.

Xiao Qi had to stay outside, and it couldn't follow in this kind of place, so Xiao Qi secretly wondered if Esther was meeting someone here, and paid special attention to suspicious people entering and leaving the library.

Esther had her notebook spread out by her hand, and she had just added a lot of information about the "Audience" Sequence Seven on it. She felt very troubled by this kind of Extraordinary who could directly affect the spirit or emotions of others.

There is absolutely no way to stay in the East District. Esther plans to go to the Backlund Bridge District, where there are many hotels that don't require identification.Even though the cost would be much higher than renting a house in the Eastern District, in order to avoid official Extraordinary searches in the Eastern District, this little gold pound should not be considered too much.

Esther felt like a bird in perpetual migration, unable to find a place to stay.Whenever it was time to move, she would especially miss those days in Tingen.

She turned to the next page of the "History of False Myths" in front of her, and there was a very thin piece of paper sandwiched between the author's long speech full of personal emotions that accused mainstream historians of ignoring the "Mythological Epoch".Esther picked it up casually, wondering if someone had accidentally left it here, so the entire book was returned.

This crumpled piece of paper may have been stuck inside for a long time. Even if Esther flattened it, only an irregular shape could be seen, like a corner torn from the edge of the paper, with nothing on it. did not write.

Strange, I don't know who has read this book?

Esther casually gathered it up and stuffed it into the interlayer of her satchel. This was just a rather casual and inadvertent move of hers. She always felt that this torn note could be used for something.

If one goes to the bottom of it, the idea comes from her intuition.

-

This evening, Esther found a "Kroger Hotel" in the Bridge District with a relatively quiet environment, and accidentally learned that they had a special room, which only cost four solis even if they stayed for a week.

Esther glanced at the price list of this hotel hanging behind the counter, and found that it was almost half the price of a deluxe single room, and even similar to a cheap one-bedroom room with moderate conditions in the East District. While she was quite tempted, she couldn't help but Don't talk too much: "You guys are so cheap, can't it be because there was an accident in that room?"

The bearded boss at the front desk was stunned immediately, his face darkened quickly, and impatiently smoothed out the folds on the waiter's dress: "Love can't stand it! Don't talk nonsense! Get out!"

Esther had doubts in her heart, but she didn't plan to waste time looking for places anymore, she counted out four one-soul banknotes from her satchel, and threw them lightly on the counter: "I didn't say no, where are the keys? ?”

The boss looked at her even more strangely. He took the key with the label "May [-]" from the wall with a cold face, threw it on the countertop, and then "intimately" reminded: "The fifth floor stairs Turn right. Come here if you need room service, and put the sign inside the door outside to clean the room.”

"Thank you." Esther smiled sweetly. With her left hand under the cloak, she reached out to the boss with a slight movement, and then immediately picked up the key and walked to the elevator.

In her mind, Esther's casual complaint just now was confirmed. There was indeed a disappearance case in that room. The whole mirror in the bathroom was stained blood red, but the woman living in the room disappeared. No one has seen her.

Of course, the police also sent people to take over the investigation of this matter, and even took away the weird mirror, but since then, every time a customer stays in this room, they will hear crying in the middle of the night or in their sleep.

In fact, as long as Esther inquires about this information in the surrounding bars or cafes, people who gossip will naturally eagerly share it with her. The residents who live here are a lot of fun, and the story has been told for months.

Esther is quite curious, but her fear level is pitifully low. She doesn't have much experience in contact with spirits. If the other party is really a formed evil spirit, the dagger with purification effect is still lying in her satchel , of course she has nothing to be afraid of.

In fact, it was more because of her laziness. A lot of things happened today, and she desperately needed a closed and comfortable private place to relax. If she went to find the next hotel, she didn't know when she would have to go.Even if there is a rough map of Backlund in her mind, the detailed information contained is very limited, and Esther has no interest in measuring various blocks with her feet.

Of course, this place may not be the most suitable place, but Esther "feels" that it's okay to live here, so she doesn't intend to waste her energy on wandering.

Walking along the tidy stairs and corridors to the door of Wu Yisan's room, Esther inserted the key and pressed the doorknob.

She heard a very slight choking sound, as if something had choked her throat just as she was about to cry, and timidly tried her best to restrain her voice, which sounded like a hiccup.

Esther couldn't hold it back, she laughed cheerfully, closed the door behind her, and then looked at this "privileged room".

I have to say that although the price of this hotel is relatively expensive in the Backlund Bridge area, it is really well furnished. Although it is only a single room, the room is wide enough to store a lot of things:

The floor of the whole room is covered with off-white soft blankets, and the four sides are covered with light apricot-colored wallpaper with thin vines. The soft big bed with light gauze on the four corner columns is close to the wall, and a painting depicting a flower field is hung on it. Landscape paintings, covered with thick glass that is so shiny that people can be seen.

The smooth desk has been wiped spotless. Even though there is a gas ceiling lamp above the head, a traditional kerosene lamp with a shade is placed on the table. The set of couch, single sofa and foot cushions are all warm wood colors. A few cushions embroidered with flower branches give the room a sense of warmth as a whole.

There is smokeless charcoal piled in the fireplace by the sofa, and after being lit by a match, the heat is continuously transmitted to the whole room immediately, dispelling all the cold air.The tray on the coffee table contains a whole tea set and a double row candlestick, and there is a tray with a little fresh fruit beside it.A large wardrobe with double doors stands in the corner, a push-out window faces the right side of the bed, and rose red curtains with gold ruffles are tied on both sides by tassel hanging ropes.

The door leading to the bathroom is right next to the closet. Esther walked into the bathroom and looked first at the oval mirror that reflected her half body. She didn't sense any problems.

The rest of the bathroom was also meticulously cleaned, and there was nothing unusual about Esther.

Esther returned to the room and hung her cloak and satchel on the coat rack by the door. She kicked off her shoes, lay down on the soft couch, and sighed comfortably.Esther looked around lazily again, and felt that the place seemed a little too luxurious. Just looking at the overall width of the bed, it was more like a double rather than a single, and it should be a room for couples or couples.

"I made a lot of money..."

She stretched happily, and sat up from the sofa full of motivation. Even if this place is really haunted, she must tear the ghost away and live by herself.

Esther took out a small storage box from her satchel, which held a group of iron wind chimes in soft cotton. After opening the window, she shook it twice, and soon a crow came to her window following the sound.

The crow was also surprised by the luxurious decoration in the house: "Are you rich?"

"No, because the house is haunted, and the boss says it's on sale."

"Aren't you afraid?" Xiao Qi put down the soft cushion on the single sofa with her tail cocked, then stepped on a circle of depressions on it, and lay down comfortably.

"Why are you afraid? I think it might be more afraid of me."

"……really."

Esther picked up the red red snake fruit from the fruit plate, wiped it briefly with a handkerchief, and took a bite, letting the light and sweet fragrance flood into her mouth.

Xiao Qi stretched out her wings, caressed her black feathers leisurely, and entered a relaxed state like Esther: "If you don't want to take me with you tomorrow, I can stay in the house."

"I'll take it seriously when you say that," Esther's head had a few light spots floating around her head like planets, "I can directly seal this room completely, and then you may really Can't get out. There is still a very close connection between you and me, they can't effectively block objects, but they can limit spirits."

"Haha, I'm just talking casually." Xiao Qi said with a smile.

Esther shook her head with a smile, very proud: "Why don't you be fooled, friend, maybe I'm just trying to scare you?"

"Your character is indeed getting worse and worse."

Esther was slightly taken aback: "Is there? I don't think there is any change."

"Just a reminder."

Xiaoqi's tone was very flat, as if it was just telling Esther to remember to bring an umbrella when it rains.
