Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 23
On Friday, there was heavy rain, and Esther's rest was ruined. She originally wanted to order tickets for a recent drama today, but when she saw the horrible weather outside, she gave a "touch" to the black thorn security company with a bitter face. The door closed again.

"Why is it raining so heavily..." The sound of dripping rain kept knocking on the window, and Esther reconfirmed that the window was closed tightly.

Roseanne yawned and took a sip of coffee: "It's the season, there are a few times every summer."

Her hair was also a little damp, and the umbrella was in the umbrella bucket by the door. Esther went to find a towel and came out, receiving Rosanne's grateful eyes.

When Klein entered the room, several strands of his hair were also sticky, sticking wetly to his forehead. Esther found several more towels and decided to tuck one into each person she met.

"Ah thanks, good morning."

"Good morning, the weather is really bad today."

Klein brushed his hair indiscriminately: "Yeah, I almost forgot that the torrential rain in Tingen in summer is so exaggerated."

"So, I came to Tingen last year, um, November." Esther blinked at Klein, and he instantly understood the meaning, referring to the arrival of "Li Xing" .

Klein calculated the time, and it was half a year earlier than himself, so it wasn't long before she joined the Nighthawks.

Roseanne blinked blankly: "No way, I feel like you've been with the Nighthawks for at least a year! It feels like we've known each other for a long time."

"No, that's your illusion, little Roseanne. Don't follow in the captain's footsteps and imitate his forgetfulness at a young age."

Esther's pretentious tone made Rosanna give her an annoyed look: "Don't laugh at me! I'm not forgetful! I really feel that I've been with you for a long time."

Esther didn't speak, just put on a faint smile, but no matter how Klein looked at it, he felt that the fellow's smile was fake, covering up his loneliness: "Maybe it's just that you guys get along well. Being friends with people with similar interests will indeed make you happy." It makes people feel like they have been together for a long time.”

Esther shrugged like Leonard's usual lazy look: "Rosanne dislikes me because I'll pester her for throwing magazines!"

Roseanne was very unconvinced: "Hey, if you don't believe me, you can ask, everyone will think that Esther has been here for a long time."

"It hasn't been that long... Maybe it's like what Klein said, only you are happier with me, so it feels longer." Esther tried to quickly end this topic.

Roseanne nodded Esther's forehead: "There must be! Who doesn't like Esther? You are always helping everyone here, maybe everyone thinks you have been here for a long time."

Klein didn't notice Esther's embarrassment, and nodded in agreement: "At least Esther gave me a good first impression."

"Isn't it because I gave you puffs?"

Klein cleared his throat: "Cough, of course this is also one of the reasons."

Roseanne seemed determined to let Esther know that she has been here for a long time, so she took Esther's hand and said, "Come on, let's ask others, everyone must think that you have been here for a long time!"

It will be miserable if this goes on, Esther waved her hands again and again: "No, no, there is no need to bother them with this kind of question! I can ask it myself? You still have to be on duty at the front desk."

"That's right, I have to stay here...then let Klein supervise you and report to me when the time comes!"

The fellow villagers looked at each other and saw Esther's eager eyes asking for help. Klein nodded helplessly: "Okay, I can study the literature later. Anyway, one problem won't take much time."

After walking down the stairs, she felt that she couldn't hear anything from above, so Esther quickly stopped: "Klein, I need to explain this to you. It's because of the special identities we both share."

Klein looked at Esther curiously, quietly waiting for her next words.

"I hope you don't spread the word. Most importantly, you can't tell other people in the Nighthawks. I don't want to cause them panic or disgust. I don't care if it's a stranger, but now I'm afraid of being in their eyes. See that look."

Klein's thinking has always been very quick: "Is it about your sequence ability?"

"Can you feel it? That's right, I remember your sequence is a Seer..."

"Why can't it be reasoning?" Klein's eyes became serious, "I've heard a general idea of ​​everyone's sequences, and Dunn introduced them in detail when he chose 'Seer', but none of them fit your situation. When he introduced the current situation of the Nighthawks team to me, he said that your matter is a special case, and it is under the direct jurisdiction of the Holy Church, and you are only counted as half of the Nighthawks."

Esther decided to be frank: "You should know more than I do. I haven't obtained the permission to read most of the documents until now, and I can only handle the mystic books I want to read by Old Neil. The scope is still quite limited. Parts are related to various ancient languages."

"Are they jealous of your power?"

"Obviously. You can see that Roseanne has blurred the concept of time, which is also caused by the unconscious divergence of spirituality within the scope of my ability."

Klein suddenly realized: "So if you stay in the Nighthawks team, it is equivalent to being guarded? No wonder I can see you here almost every day..."

"My superficial ability has enhanced agility, the sensitivity of my palm and wrist has increased, and my strength and physical fitness have improved to a certain extent. You should have played online games, right?"

"Of course, you feel like adding agility points, thief? Assassin?"

"I tend to be thieves. I have an almost instinctive ability to steal, and I can perceive the other party's thoughts very keenly in language, but I basically don't use this power much. There is also an instant analysis and analysis ability that surpasses ordinary people, which makes me His intuition is quicker than thinking in the face of emergencies, these abilities really need to be combined, enough to provoke disaster."

Esther scratched her head depressingly. The more she counted the abilities that the little bug helped her sum up, the more she felt like a ticking time bomb.In case she loses control one day, it is best to detain her in the Chanis gate for a long time, otherwise there will be a big mess.

Klein's eyes suddenly lit up. He recalled the contents of Emperor Roselle's diary. At that time, the emperor regretted not being able to choose "apprentice", "seer" or "thief"!From the ability description alone, Esther basically belongs to the "Stealer" sequence, but her increase is so comprehensive, it must not only be sequence nine, it may be eight or even seven?It's a pity that I don't know what the follow-up sequence is called, and the information is insufficient.

"I don't know if you've heard of the path of 'Stealer', but according to your description, there's no small possibility that it's the sequence of your abilities."

Esther's eyes widened, and she was able to get an accurate guess from a fellow villager, which was something she never expected: "The thief... This is an accurate description of my 'hand of thieves'!"

Klein was startled: "You still have a name?"

Esther looked away, blushing a little: "People always want to find some fun in their lives..."

"I understand, I understand," Klein tried not to laugh too arrogantly, "At least now I have a clue, I'll help you pay more attention to this information."

If it doesn't work, you can also post tasks in your private gathering, but unfortunately this information does not match the personality of the "God". It would be great if there is a trumpet.

Esther's gratitude came from the bottom of her heart: "Thank you! It would be great if someone can discuss it. Thank you for your willingness to help. If you have anything to do, just ask me."

Klein shook his head: "Since you've told me such an important secret, I certainly can't let you down. I don't need to pay you any money. I won't be polite if I bother you."

The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling much better.

"The question that Roseanne said, shall we still ask it?"

Esther hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Since you agree, just ask, and it will also let you understand more clearly how unstable the negative effects on me are."

She took a deep look at Klein: "Don't forget me, [Comrade Zhou Mingrui]."

[See you later, Comrade Li Xing. ]
This short two-sentence conversation made the two people laugh inexplicably, feeling like an underground party meeting.

But only Esther knew how much sadness was hidden behind her words.

In the end, Klein and Esther asked about the people staying at the Blackthorn Security Company today. The more people asked, the more serious Klein's expression became. He looked at Esther frequently, and Esther could only reply A casual smile.

Old Neil, who was drinking coffee and guarding the arsenal, just thought for a moment, then nodded confidently: "It must be more than half a year, otherwise how could Esther's occult language learning progress so fast?"

The answers of Bright and Frye were the same: "About half a year."

But Frye added later: "He is a very reliable teammate."

Keenli was not here today on a day off, and Luo Yao and Xijia's answers were similar to those of Luo Shan.

After Leonard heard this question, he stared at the air and tilted his head. His expression became more and more subtle. Finally, he just shook his head: "I can't remember."

Klein looked at Leonard thoughtfully: "Why don't you just say the time?"

"Then, it's similar to what Sika said?" Leonard didn't mean to hide it deliberately, "I really can't remember clearly, and I feel that my memory is very confusing."

Sika gave him a strange look: "Then are you in good condition? Do you want to ask the captain for leave?"

Leonard waved his hand casually: "It's not that exaggerated, it's just that I can't remember clearly."

Esther didn't care about Leonard's flawed statement, and brought Klein to the corridor again: "Now do you understand?"

Klein frowned even tighter: "There's also the captain. Does he know about your situation?"

"I know, maybe it should be said that the captain knows best."

Dunn was on duty at the Chanis Gate. After Esther asked, he simply didn't answer the question, and took a deep look at Klein next to him: "You still have mysticism class today."

That's clearly turning people away.

Klein blinked innocently at Esther: "Yes, I'm going to find Old Neil right away."

Dunn didn't look at Esther until he could no longer hear Klein's footsteps in the corridor: "Esther, do you have a premonition?"

Esther, who was just about to follow her, had to stop: "Why did the captain say that?"

"You are getting too close to him, and you are even deliberately leading him to notice that something is wrong with you. Is there anything special about Klein?"

"I don't know... Maybe it's just because I think he's kinder."

Dunn looked at Esther a few times, his deep gray eyes were hard to see through, and finally he sighed: "Oh, you go out."
