Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 14 To Accept

Esther ran into a street corner and spilled a hand of the honey black tea in the cup. She slowly poured the sweet warm tea into her mouth and let it be swallowed down her throat.

Esther prefers milk tea, but for her now, such a sweet drink can effectively soothe her emotions.

Esther opened the paper bag containing fried dumplings, and the faint heat floated to her face. She picked up two and stuffed them into her mouth, chewing hard while crying, letting the aroma be ground by her teeth in her mouth, and swallowed them indiscriminately. in the stomach.

"Li Xing" once read a sentence, the source of which has been almost forgotten: the stomach is the closest place to centrifugation, as long as the stomach is filled, the mood will be better.

Humans are really weird, just eating the food we prefer can make us feel better.There is no scientific theory for this sentence, because human sadness comes from the brain.But in such a world, I still think of science, which seems strange.

Thinking this way, she ate two more croquettes that were still warm, and her tears gradually stopped.

"Aster."

Someone called her voice like that.

Esther quickly wiped the tears on her face, looked around, but didn't see anyone.

"Haven't you ever thought that this might be done by the night? All of this is what He did to control you."

Esther fished out the little bug from her breast pocket, and looked at it in surprise and joy: "You're awake!? You haven't moved during this time, I thought you wouldn't be able to wake up... ..."

When she left Chanis Gate, she habitually stuffed the little bug into her body pocket, but now the little bug coiled around Esther's little finger, tilted its head slightly towards her, and was able to send out a steady The voice is no longer a weak raving: "The night took you underground and did everything to seal you, you know it in your heart! Are you so stupid to believe that it is good for you?"

Esther was silent for several seconds, and wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes: "You are not the roundworm in my stomach, how can you judge my thoughts?"

The little bug shook his head vigorously, seeming very annoyed: "I'm not a roundworm, if it wasn't for you—tch, I am looking forward to the day you are played to death by the night, your reaction will definitely be very interesting."

"The dark night won't hurt me. Is that what we call him? An agreement has been reached."

"You don't really think that with your current strength you can trade on an equal footing with the True God, do you? If they want to get rid of you, they don't need to do it themselves, pass an oracle around the bush, and you are a wanted criminal in the whole continent."

Esther put the little bug by her ear, and it actively hung on the root of the ear, like a translucent earring.Esther was not in a hurry with her things in her arms, and walked slowly towards the nearby bookstore, talking to Xiao Chongzi in a low voice: "At least for now, I don't feel that the night has the will to hurt me, and he is willing to raise me !"

The little bug was speechless for a few seconds before he said weakly: "I've said it all, this is just a means to control you. The more you rely on the church of the night, the deeper the church's influence on you will be. In the end you will find that every aspect of your life is tied. Once you are in the church, once you want to leave, you will be a traitor and you will never be able to leave!"

Esther rubbed the center of her right eyebrow subconsciously: "But I have nowhere to go now, and the only jobs and relationships I had were lost."

"I can tell you a name."

"You sound so smug, I wouldn't read it! I can sense you're up to no good."

The little bug was once again helpless because of Esther's strange spiritual intuition: "...that's fine, or you can go to Jianhai County, and I can guide you to find someone I know."

Esther recalled the words of the goddess in her dream, and the surname that Xiao Chongzi deliberately guided her to leave. She didn't find any information about the existence of "Amon", so she was not at ease at all.

Esther thought for a moment before speaking: "I still want to stay in Tingen for a while, I like it here very much."

"But until the end, the result is that no one will remember you. No matter how long you stay here, it will only delay the process of being forgotten."

Esther did not speak, and hugged the paper bag in her arms even tighter. Her steps on the street became slower and slower, and hurried gentlemen or ladies strode past her, leaving the gloomy-looking girl behind. .

The little bug lightly rubbed Esther's ear, a little itchy: "Trust me, I'm the only one who can remember you, and it's meaningless to build a relationship with anyone other than me."

Esther shook her head firmly: "Maybe I will go in the future. I have to stay in Tingen during this time. I promised Mr. Deacon and Mr. Smith."

The little bug chuckled, as if feeling sorry for Esther's "integrity": "Anyway, there will be a day... I will wait."

"What's so special about me? You all seem to value me, and so does Black Night."

Esther seemed to be casual when she asked the question, but her hands silently gathered the paper bag containing the croquettes.

Xiao Chongzi seemed to be pleased by Esther's question, and his lazy tone was filled with a smile: "Who knows? You are not, special, special at all, are you? This is what you often talk to me about."

Esther didn't speak any more, and the little bug had to bite her ear: "Put me back quickly, it's too conspicuous here."

This time, Esther listened to it very much, reached out to pick off the little bug, and put it back in her pocket. The road just happened to reach the door of the bookstore, which brought a pause to the conversation between the two.After returning to the Blackthorn Security Company, the little bug would probably return to his silent state. Esther would bet that it had something to do with the power of the goddess.

As soon as Esther stepped through the store door, she saw a young man who was slightly familiar. The reason why Esther remembered him was because of his outstanding appearance like a young star, and because he used to patronize the bakery with Daly , Daly seems to have said that she is her colleague.

Then he is also a member of the Nighthawks?
After flipping through two collections of poetry, the young man put it down and continued to flip through the bookshelves of novels. He suddenly seemed to hear something, and raised his head to look in the direction of the door, just in time to meet Esther who was entering the door.

Esther nodded friendly to the young man, and then remembered that he might not remember who she was at all, so she gave up the plan to introduce herself, and let's talk about it later when they meet at the Blackthorn Security Company.

But the young man walked straight towards her. His height of 1.8 meters made Esther feel a lot of pressure. She couldn't help but took a step to the side, but the young man blocked her way with a straight face: "Who are you? who!?"

Esther was taken aback by the young man's tone: "I just... came to buy books?"

Her tone was very uncertain, because judging by the young man's righteous speech, she seemed to be some dangerous person running around the world.

Well, in a sense she is.

But I have already told Dunn that I am going out, and the Church of Evernight has allowed me to move around freely, so I have nothing to feel guilty about!
After Esther cheered herself up in her heart, she frowned at the young man who blocked the way: "What's the matter with you? If there's nothing else, can you let me pass? We've blocked the store door."

The young man realized that his behavior was inappropriate, and stood aside with a "swish". He stared at Esther for a few seconds before clearing his throat in distress: "Cough, it was just a misunderstanding, a little misunderstanding. I may admit it It's..."

Esther's eyes widened, and her eyes were full of doubts about Leonard: So there are such unreliable people in the Nighthawks team?Wouldn't it really hurt to let him go on a mission?

"I'm sorry to bother you, goodbye." The young man dropped these three words, and rushed out of the bookstore like flying, as if he was afraid that Esther would catch up and curse people.

Esther's face is full of confusion, this person is completely inexplicable!

-

Leonard quickly ran across the street corner. Thanks to the improvement of his physical fitness due to his extraordinary ability, he only breathed a little heavier, and he would not feel much fatigue when he sprinted for dozens of meters.

He pulled up the collar of the windbreaker, gritted his teeth and said to himself: "Old man! Why don't you make it clear first! She looks at me like a fool!"

In Leonard's mind, an old voice played jokingly: "I just said that her fate trajectory is very strange, so you should be cautious when facing her on weekdays."

The old voice seemed to be unbearable, and chuckled twice: "Hey, it's good for you, just go up and question your 'new colleague' who is it? It's obvious that she remembers you, and this time you left her It made a bad impression."

Leonard's face was pale and red as if he had eaten a bad stomach: "She is my new colleague!? When did it happen? Why do you know that I don't?"

"The spirituality overflowing from her body has been restrained back, revealing the restraining power of the Evernight Goddess. Of course, you can't see it. At least you have to be a demigod to notice it."

"Only above a demigod—she has such a big background? Couldn't it be the investigators sent by the Backlund Diocese?"

The old voice sighed helplessly, revealing desperation: "Didn't I just tell you in the bookstore... That night ten days ago, the person with a strange fate brought back by your colleague is her!"

It was only then that Leonard remembered that when he was at the bookshelf in the store, he was still complaining in a low voice that criminal investigation novels are now written like love novels. He just glanced at the door and found someone walking into the bookstore, but Leonard didn't pay much attention .When the old man's voice rang in his ears, he hadn't reacted for a while, and then he heard the old man's words telling him to be careful, Leonard blocked him impulsively.

You must have the courage to stand up at any time. Leonard has always used this to flaunt the particularity of the protagonist of his era. Of course, he cannot let a strange person wander around the world.

But now judging from the results, he has become the strange person in the eyes of "new colleagues".

"This is too embarrassing, too rude, how can I explain it to her next time I meet?"

The old man laughed "hey" for a while, but didn't give any answer.

Leonard wandered around in a hurry, even because of his face, he couldn't stand it, but Esther's eyes at that moment made him too ashamed: "I said old man, you can help me find a way to come up with an idea Ah! Don't just watch me laugh!"

"It's not a big deal, I want to go!"
