Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Klein didn't let go of Lark, but kept it in his hands. He found Cattleya in the captain's cabin.

She was closely observing the environment outside the "Future" by the window, alerting to possible anomalies. Cattleya was still holding a chart in her hand, constantly comparing the direction of progress and the safe route.

As soon as Gehrman Sparrow walked in, Cattleya noticed the unconscious skylark in his hand, and Gehrman's posture holding the bird was obviously wrong, Cattleya immediately asked: "It has been affected by this The influence of this piece of sea area?"

Klein didn't nod: "Excuse me, do you have a cage here? Or any container that can put her down and let her breathe."

Although Gehrman used "she" to refer to the skylark, this kind of nickname is normal among owners, and Cattleya didn't take it to heart: "Frank should have an empty cage, he used to raise... …but I've strongly urged him to get rid of the creatures."

Klein gave a cold "hmm" and didn't bother the captain anymore, but walked down the stairs.

Heath Doyle suddenly emerged from the shadows, and after leaving the range of the voice, he had returned to normal except that his face was paler.But Heath was staring at Gehrman now, looking between his face and his hands.

Klein probably knew why he appeared, because he was holding "Noyens" in a half-dead state, which seemed to arouse Heath's confusion, and he hesitated when he wanted to ask.

Klein simply spoke first: "Do you know where Frank's room is?"

"I'll take you there." Heath looked at him for a few seconds before saying so.

Klein pressed his top hat with his free left hand to cover his gloomy eyes: "Thank you."

Soon, Heath led Klein to a room with several empty flower pots piled up at the door. The door was half-open, and he could see the back of Frank moving things inside.

Klein knocked twice on the door: "Frank, is there an empty cage?"

Frank had just straightened a low fruit tree in his hands. He subconsciously glanced back at the door, and was instantly attracted by Lark's weak appearance: "Of course...Noens has passed out?"

"Well, please find a suitable container for her." Because it sounded strange to just make this request, Klein maintained Gehrman's indifferent tone and added a few more words, "It's too dangerous outside, but she was After being attracted, I want to fly out."

"Of course, I have! It can't run around in this sea area, if it flies away from a safe place, it may be dangerous!"

Frank picked in the corner of the room for dozens of seconds, and quickly fished out a small, dusty birdcage. After rubbing off a little bit of soil stuck to the cage door, Frank handed over the cage.

Klein took the cage and thanked him. He didn't rush to put Lark in, but carried the cage up the stairs.He wanted to go back to the room assigned to him near the captain's cabin, clean up the earthy-smelling cage, and then put Skylark in it.

Frank muttered twice, worried about whether there was any conflict between his "two new friends".

Then he turned his gaze and saw another person standing by the door in a daze: "Hey, Heath, you're here too, when did you come?"

Heath shook his head at Frank with complicated emotions, retreated into the shadows in the corridor, and quickly merged into it.

Esther still woke up, and she felt that she had experienced a nightmare that was too long to look back in time.

All kinds of voices drilled into her dream, and formed shapes that made Esther feel small all the time:

Violent lightning, glaring sunlight, and illusory books, they rolled like a torrential rain, the flesh and blood burst into pieces as they squirmed, the curtain of darkness fell and flew, and all kinds of distorted spirit world creatures gradually dissolved into color blocks, emitting The fishy-smelling plants unearthed keep growing and rotting...

The earthy smell is very strong.

Esther gradually formed such a clear idea, so her consciousness gradually became lighter, and she was finally able to escape from the chaotic scene that made people want to go crazy.

After Esther opened her eyes, she found that the earthy smell was real. She was lying on a ball of handkerchiefs, covered with another handkerchief, and surrounded by a hard iron cage.

It is this cage that is exuding a strong earthy smell. It is obvious that its previous occupant has moved away for a long time, so it can only be forgotten among the many soils, and it has not been dug out until now.

Esther stood up blankly, looking back and forth.

She was still in Klein's room, and her satchel and Klein's suitcase were within her sight. The moment Esther realized this, she was a little relieved, but why was she locked in a cage?
The cage door has a built-in lock, which requires a matching key to open, not a simple latch.

Esther could steal the door lock or even the cage's railing, but she was full of confusion about the current situation, so she planned to wait for Klein to come back and ask about the situation first, worrying whether she might have caused some trouble unconsciously.

She tried to recall what happened before, but the memory only stayed in the moment before losing consciousness.Esther didn't know what was affecting her, but she only felt it was difficult to control Hilari's body.

At that time, she could only cling to the cold floor. After being shrouded in light, the next moment was darkness, and that weird dream followed, which made Esther still feel dizzy.

"What the hell happened..." Esther flapped her wings twice, and the numbness in her body had almost dissipated.

The timing of Esther's waking up was lucky, and Klein walked in from outside the door not long after.

He was also holding a plate in his hand, which contained a slice of browned bread with some butter on it, and two pieces of keel fish meat strips with a little sauce.

"Lunch, I didn't bring you a lot." Klein said so, and put the plate next to the cage, but did not open the cage door.

After carefully closing the doors and windows and laying out the spiritual wall, Klein pulled the chair in the room and sat opposite the lark with a cold face, carefully observing all the expressions and reactions of the bird.

Seeing Klein's serious appearance, Esther shrank her neck depressedly, trying to remember if she had caused any trouble: "Did something happen while I was unconscious?"

"A lot has happened, it's past noon, and you've been unconscious for a few hours."

Hearing the subtlety in Klein's tone, Esther didn't urge him to open the cage door that needed a key, but stayed where she was obediently: "It's been so long, why don't you tell me about it?"

"We encountered huge diamond pillars propped up from the bottom of the sea into the air, and they supported a floating island that was screaming strangely; there appeared a golden chariot that could run in the air, and some people were directly burned into ashes because they looked directly at it; the night When it comes we must sleep, and thus enter a dream common to all."

Esther's eyes widened, she didn't know whether to lament that she missed too much, or to be thankful that she didn't see those things, so she didn't get more stimulation.

But right away, she noticed something was wrong: "But I've been in a coma, and I didn't enter the shared dream you mentioned, shouldn't I be in it too?"

Klein nodded, then shook his head again: "I don't understand why either."

"Huh?" Esther scratched her paws anxiously, "Could it be that something happened in your dreams?"

Klein spoke quickly, as if he was using this to cover up his emotional anxiety: "In my dream, I met a person affected by bad luck, and saw a mural, 'Angel of Destiny'. His shoulder A skylark squats with its eyes closed, but it looks lifeless."

"Zoya?" After Esther said the name, she subconsciously gathered herself into a ball, "I remembered, that huge panting sound caught his attention, and he even felt sad and resentful for a time, very strong. The emotions of 'Zoya' are common to me, and I can feel that those consciousnesses are extremely complicated."

Klein looked at the bewilderment and trouble in Skylark's eyes. Esther's emotions were clearly in front of his eyes, but Klein didn't know whether to believe it or not.

Could this be a deception by "Zoya"?Would it be "Zoya" who performed the trick of Esther's awakening, and then took the opportunity of him to relax his vigilance and flew away, out of the range of "Future", and let Esther disappear forever on this golden ocean?

Klein was struggling in his heart.

I am afraid that "Zoya" knows everything about the communication between him and Esther. He said "I know you", so no matter how Klein "signs" with Esther, "Zoya" Maybe both can be connected.

Above the gray mist, "The Fool" even heard "Zoya" speak Chinese, which means that he had more or less contact with the world the two of them lived in before crossing, including Russell Huang Tao Gustav, or " "Zoya" learned their language from some channels, even...

"The Fool" and "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" are also corresponding in Chinese?Is it from the world of our network and information age?

During Skylark's coma, Klein also tried to divination about Esther's situation, but all the divination results did not give any clues except for the omen light.

Even if he went to the bathroom to board the gray mist, and used the pendulum method to test the ball of light, the materialized citrine remained motionless.

Therefore, now Klein can only use the most basic method to directly talk to the "suspect bird". He observes and deduces various details, hoping to distinguish whether it is Esther or "Zoya" who is awake.

After the skylark in the cage looked at him for more than ten seconds, seeing that Klein had no intention of speaking, Esther looked at the plate next to him.

Esther pointed to the piece of bread with the tip of her wing: "Why don't you put it in the cage for me? It looks like I want to eat two bites."

Then her voice dropped slightly: "I already missed breakfast, and I don't want to miss lunch too..."

The corner of Klein's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but move up a little.

Great, it seems to be the fellow himself.
