Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

After sending Cleves away, Esther closed the door: "If there is danger, we will not go to the island?"

"En." Klein nodded.

In the end, the three settled for dinner in the first-class restaurant on the ship. Of course, Danitz didn't have any choice.

However, after gradually recognizing Hamel's true face, Danitz was already desperate for the two of them guarding him closely.

At seven o'clock, when the group of people walked out of the restaurant, the shaking of the ship was much smaller, and the strong wind outside should have eased.

Klein's footsteps paused, and then he walked all the way to the entrance of the cabin, asked the guards there who hadn't returned to the white agate, and then walked with the two to Room [-].

"What's wrong?" Esther asked.

Klein shook his head and didn't reply to her.

After returning to the cabin, Esther took out a deck of cards out of nowhere. Under Klein's questioning eyes, she humbly explained the source of the cards:
"I played two games last night while chatting with people on the boat, and he lost to me."

With the addition of Danitz, there are just three of them now, and they can also form a table to fight against evil.It's just that within a few minutes of the start of the game, Esther suddenly buckled the cards in her hand on the table.

At the same time, Klein also put down the poker in his hand, and exchanged a look with Esther.

"It's a bit strange." Esther said softly, some kind of abnormality touched her perception, making her want to go to the island to see what happened.

"I suddenly remembered something, Gehrman." Her tone was a little erratic, "Don't you think Bancy's pronunciation...is very similar to Bincy in Giant's language?"

Klein's eyes narrowed, and he nodded, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Danitz, whose interest had just been aroused, was very at a loss: "Hey, you two don't want to play because your cards are too bad? Uncle Danitz is very lucky! Don't run away!"

"Aren't you a little too proud? Master Danis..." Esther looked at him with a smile.

Danis immediately shut his mouth and shrank back on the easy chair.

After Klein came out of the bathroom, he gave Esther a look. Esther understood, and immediately got up and went back to the room, taking his satchel.When she came out again, there was already a silver half-face mask on her face, which was tightly attached to her skin.

Klein buttoned up the double-breasted dress, took off the half-height silk top hat from the coat rack by the door, and turned to Danitz expressionlessly:
"you're free."

"Ah?" Danitz didn't realize what was going on, and casually threw the poker in his hand onto the table, "You really don't want to play anymore?"

Then he saw Hamel following Gehrman and was about to leave the room. Danitz suddenly understood, and shouted in surprise:

"You are going to save the captain and those ordinary people!? Didn't he say that it's dangerous outside?"

Esther blinked innocently: "It's all Gehrman's decision, and I'm only in charge of execution."

Klein pressed the top hat tightly on his head: "They have cooperated with me and kept the secret. He asked me to eat murloc meat and helped me compensate for the loss of 'White Shark'."

Danis subconsciously said: "How much compensation?"

"A few solis."

Esther followed behind Klein with a smile, and neither of them bothered the shocked Danitz in the room.

I don't know what Danitz was thinking while staring at the window. After several seconds of silence, he suddenly jumped up from the easy chair and followed behind the two of them.

Esther glanced at him curiously: "Do you think it's safer to follow us?"

Danis clenched his teeth: "How is it possible! I am 'Laging Flame' Danis, how could I shrink back because of such a small matter! Of course I have to face up to the difficulties!"

Esther and Klein didn't believe a single word.

-

In the cabin of the White Agate before, people felt that the violent wind had eased a lot, but it was still blowing coldly on the three people who disembarked, which made Danitz, who was already terrified, get goosebumps all over his body.

Bancy Island is not comparable to cities like Backlund or Tingen. The streets still use very primitive manual candle lights. The lampposts are lined up on the side of the street several meters apart, and the outside is covered with a glass lampshade.

Because of the sudden change in the weather, no one came to light them up tonight.

The fog thickened quietly in the dark night, even the crimson moonlight could only shine a little, all the doors and windows of the houses were closed tightly, and no light came through.

Except for the footsteps of the three people and the sound of the wind, there was no sound on the street. The houses were apparently in good condition except for the slightly old ones, but they seemed to have been empty for a long time, and there was only dead silence.

Esther settled down to gather her energy, and swept out all the thoughts of "ghost hitting the wall", "ghost house" and "haunted house" in her mind, held "Logan's Claw" in her hand, and released the blade to the extreme long.

Suddenly, she had a thought: "Gehrman, your direction at eleven o'clock."

Almost at the same time as she spoke, a picture of something coming appeared in Klein's mind. He took his cane out without haste, and hit the black shadow the size of a watermelon right in the middle.

With the help of the lantern held in Klein's left hand, he could see the appearance of the thing clearly. It turned out to be a head without the lower half of the body!
Only the throat is connected to the lower part of the head, and the stomach pouch is exposed to the air.

The head itself is like a half-melted candle, covered with blue moldy hairs, and the skin that oozes disgusting liquid on the outside hangs down like a punctured water bag, hanging loosely on the edge of the bone.

But the teeth of this weird human head are extremely sharp, almost as sharp as a sharpened blade, and it looks like it can easily tear apart a human arm.

Klein's force was very heavy just now, and his head was obviously stunned. Before it recovered, a pure and bright light fell from the sky, making it turn into a gray shadow amidst the screams, and quickly disappeared.

Esther frowned, and guided by a certain premonition, she spoke again: "Danitz, three o'clock on the right!"

"Received!" Danitz flipped the classical revolver in his right hand, and precisely hit another head that flew out of the mist.

There was a hole in the forehead, which was also covered with blue mold, and a dazzling flame lit up between Danitz's falsely clenched left fists. He immediately swung his arm and smashed the flame towards the head that continued to rush.

The head continued to rush towards Danitz facing the fireball. Although the skin became scorched black, it was not hindered much.

Esther quickly stretched out her left hand and grabbed it: "Almost!"

As Esther's body leaned forward, she quickly returned to her original position, just in time to see Danitz take a step back, and a retracted orange fireball re-condensed in his left hand.

Danitz threw the flame out again, and threw it at the still head. Under Danitz's control, the fireball fell straight into the wide open mouth of the scorched head.

"boom!"

With a bang, the fire exploded from his head, and the minced meat and blood splashed on the street.

Esther turned her head and looked towards the other side of the street.

Klein said in a deep voice, "Is there any more?"

Esther frowned even tighter: "No, there's been no movement for a while. I always feel that there is something attracting me here...but it's dangerous, very dangerous."

This is a fairly clear statement from her "spiritual intuition".

-

On the next journey to the Lime Lemon Restaurant, from time to time, human heads with stomach bags would fly out of the mist and pounce on the three strangers who were walking outside regardless of the weather.

Esther's anticipation of the enemy's movements was extremely accurate, often a few seconds faster than Klein's, but what made her feel strange was that the targets of those head attacks were often Klein and Danitz, None of them came close to her.

After Esther let go of the head-stealing attacks, they almost became fixed targets, and they were successively disintegrated by Klein's holy light purification and Danitz's explosive fireball.

"These monsters are not local residents, are they?" Esther whispered.

Danitz, who was finally calming down, felt goose bumps on his body again: "Isn't it!? How many have we solved? How many people on the island..."

"Seventeen." Klein replied.

Danitz was very shocked, this person is still counting the number of these heads?Is he really not worried about the current situation?
Esther whistled: "Yes, you actually counted it. We should not be far from the Lime Lemon Restaurant? There seems to be a figure in front..."

Her tone suddenly turned cold: "Gehrman, it's ten o'clock."

Klein's gaze turned accordingly, and he swung his cane vigorously again, knocking away a human head that flew out at him baring his teeth.

This human head fell heavily on the ground in front of several people, and a holy light landed on top of its head, making it disappear completely.

The lantern in Klein's hand illuminated the other side of the mist, and there was someone holding a lantern on the other side. The vague light illuminated the faces of several people who were either nervous or frightened. But soon, Donna and Danton shouted in surprise at the same time:

"Uncle Sparrow! Sister Hamel!"

Klein handed the lantern to Esther, and calmly said to them, "Go to the telegraph office first."

He glanced at the people present, and asked, "Where's the Dimodo family?"

Mr. Blanche answered Klein's question: "They're still in the restaurant."

With anxiety and fear on his face, he pointed to the spot where the head just fell: "What was that thing just now?"

Klein didn't answer, but went directly past Donna's family to the gate of Lime Lemon Restaurant. Esther quickly put the lantern she was carrying into Danitz's hand, and nodded to Mr. Blanche:
"We have to get out of here quickly, you also saw that monster, this island is very wrong."

Then she quickly caught up with Klein, unable to let him step into this even weirder restaurant by himself.

Klein first knocked on the door twice.

After receiving no response, he raised his leg decisively, kicked hard, and kicked open the door of the Lime Lemon Restaurant.

The boss with a round face and a multi-layered chin, with a "harmony and wealth" appearance, was wearing a neat tuxedo, with elegant glasses on the bridge of his nose, and turned around calmly towards the door.

The doors of the rooms on the first floor opened one after another, and those expressionless gentlemen and ladies stood at the door, watching the two intruders silently.

"What do you want to do?"

The restaurant owner's voice didn't fluctuate, but he was holding a revolver in his hand.

Klein's voice was also emotionless, almost as cold as the barrel of a gun: "Where's the Dimordo family?"

The restaurant owner's eyes turned to Esther's direction, Esther narrowed her eyes like a demonstration, and a faint light flashed from her eyes.

The boss opened and closed his mouth, and his throat rolled strangely. When he opened his mouth again, his voice seemed to soften a little:

"There's another table, Stranger, upstairs."

Esther asked Klein in a low voice: "You go up to find them, and I stay here?"

After she sent Klein away, she wanted to activate the perception of mixed vision and carefully observe the fate of these people.

Esther subconsciously pursed her lips and licked her upper lip.

But before Klein agreed or denied her proposal, those who decided to stay in the guest room on the first floor all took two steps back and closed the door tightly with a "slam".

The boss seemed even more nervous than the two of them: "I'll find someone and call them immediately."

Klein still held the gun at his waist in his hand. Although the other party seemed to be afraid for some inexplicable reason, he would not relax his vigilance because of this.

Esther felt a little disappointed.

Why is this boss so cowardly?Shouldn't I be separated from Klein at a time like this, and breaking them one by one is the normal strategy?
