Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 32

When Esther walked into the Blackthorn Security Company, she suddenly felt inexplicable nervousness, but this spiritual intuition dissipated after a few seconds, leaving her confused.

"Esther? What are you in a daze for?" Rosanne yelled sitting behind the counter. She watched Esther block the door in a daze for several seconds.

Esther rubbed the center of her right eyebrow and shook her head blankly: "It can't be a hallucination... I'm probably a little tired. I need to rest early today."

Roseanne didn't care, she was filling out a form: "What do you want for dinner? I'm going to make an order soon."

"Is there cheese pie or beef pudding on today's menu? If not, the old set meal of fried fish steak will be fine."

"Okay, I'll ask for you later." Speaking of this, Roseanne suddenly winked at Esther, "How is your going out with Klein? Is everything going well?"

Esther said frankly: "We went to the Extraordinary Material Trading Market, Klein went shopping, and I sat there with a boy who was not mentally stable for a while."

"Then?"

"Then Klein finished shopping, and we came back in the public carriage."

Rosanne's eyes widened, and she looked at Esther in disbelief, not hiding her disappointment: "That's it?"

"Oh, Klein got off the car halfway and went to the library. It's gone."

Esther walked towards the stairs leading to the underground, and ignored Rosanne's long sighs behind her. She knocked on Dunn's office and got a reply of "Please come in".

"Captain, I'm back, nothing happened—" Esther paused, "Actually, I think there might be something wrong with Klein."

Dunn raised his head from his desk. He was just proofreading the list of materials consumed last month: "Huh? You noticed something, you can tell me about it."

"Exactly, a hunch? I can't say."

Dunn didn't immediately veto Esther's words, but instead thought carefully for a moment and nodded at her: "I think it may be because the matter he is investigating is more dangerous. Your spiritual intuition is reliable, you can trust it."

"Okay, please remind the captain. Because I don't understand the situation, I don't know what to say to him."

"no problem."

Esther didn't rush away, and Dunn really looked up again: "Wait, there is another thing. You should also be vigilant when you go out recently, and don't get too involved in this matter, because some members of the cult organization are involved .”

"I know, I will be careful."

Having said that, Esther remembered the weird dream before, why did Dunn's figure appear in it?Esther didn't dare to check the true identity of the evil god, and there was no way to find out. The people she knew were almost all concentrated in the Blackthorn Security Company, and there was no other way to investigate this kind of knowledge.

I hope Klein will not recklessly meet those members of the organization directly. He is still a fortune teller and doesn't have much melee combat ability. It would be bad if he was in danger halfway.

What Esther didn't know was that Klein had already eliminated a "organization member" by mistake, and performed a psychic ritual to obtain the magic medicine formula of the Seer Sequence Eight.Esther returned to the reception hall and helped Roseanne organize the schedule for the next week. Now that Klein is also an official team member, he will also take part in Chanis Gate's rotation.

A few minutes later, when the police came to seek help from Dunn with a badge, Dunn took Leonard and Kenley with him to the scene of the incident.

Then they saw Klein waiting for them at the scene.

Dunn once again sighed in his heart, Esther's spiritual intuition was not much different from the prophecy.

-

A few days later, on Saturday, Klein came to the Blackthorn Security Company at night. He was able to come out openly because he made up an excuse to his brother and sister.

Tonight it's Klein's turn to guard the Chanis gate.

Dunn's reminder to Klein has always been kept in mind: "No matter what noise you hear, don't open the Chanis door unless it is opened from the inside."

Because Dunn repeatedly emphasized this point, Klein of course took it seriously. His originally slightly relaxed mind became tense again because of Dunn's serious reminder.The light from the gas lamp was bright and steady, shining steadily on the quiet and deserted corridor, but it couldn't dispel Klein's tension of being here alone.

He brewed a pot of coffee, and the rich bitter aroma permeated the air, and then flowed into his lungs. While dispelling the chill from Klein's body, it also made him more energetic.There were only so many reading materials in the room for entertainment, and Klein couldn't fight evil by himself, so he drank coffee, flipped through the newspapers and magazines on the bookshelf, and soon turned his attention to novels, performing the task with a little suffering. Own night duty.

The Fermer coffee in the Pas Valley is also considered a high-quality product. The refreshing effect is very good, but the bitterness is also very stimulating to the taste buds.Klein felt that Esther would definitely not be able to drink it. She never drank old Neil's private collection. Esther once complained to him in private. She especially missed saccharin milk tea and fat house water. What else is there?

What is the Northeast specialty of that drink called kvass?It feels like it's rare in the southern market, and Klein really hasn't tasted it.

Klein was reminiscing wildly in his mind, flipping through a copy of "Storm Mountain Villa" with obvious traces of reading.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The violent knocking sound startled Klein. He instinctively pulled out the revolver, quickly adjusted the magazine and trigger, and carefully walked to the door, looking in the direction of the sound source.

"Boom! Boom!"

The slapping sound continued, and it came from the door in the corridor with the seven holy symbols painted on it—behind the Chanis Gate where many things were sealed.Klein's heartbeat had the same frequency as the slapping sound, and it became more and more intense. The Chanis door even shook slightly, as if something inside was about to burst out.

Klein always felt that he had become unlucky after crossing. How could he encounter such a scary thing on the first night on duty? He had never heard it from the captain or other colleagues.

Suddenly, the slapping sound inside stopped for two seconds. Just when Klein thought the movement was over, it reappeared with a more violent and anxious rhythm, as if he wanted to smash the Chanis Gate into pieces. After a few bangs of "bang dang", the ear-piercing friction sounded like a blade scraping on a person's eardrum, and the heavy black iron door opened from the inside out, cracking a gap.

It was a forearm-high figure, wearing an elegant dark court dress, with stains on the skirt, lifeless glass eyeballs embedded in the face, and a thin stitched mouth.

The workmanship of this toy puppet is not exquisite, nor is it beautiful at all. Being able to walk out from behind the Chanis Gate only makes Klein wary of it!Just as Klein raised his gun to aim at the puppet, it suddenly raised its arm and stretched out the note in its hand towards Klein. On it was a vertical eye pattern drawn together by hidden symbols.

Before Klein had time to think about what was going on, a slender hand grabbed the back of the puppet's neck and lifted it up. The puppet's eyes protruded, and the silk thread on its mouth was continuously stretched. The note in his hand was instantly torn by itself.

Even though it has no voice or expression, Klein can clearly feel the strong fear emanating from this puppet.

The muzzle of his gun turned to the hand holding the puppet, and saw the owner of the arm. This made Klein lower the muzzle of the gun a little, but he still didn't let his guard down: "Esther?"

It was indeed Esther who came out from behind the Chanis Gate, but she was in a very strange state - her eyes were closed and her face was expressionless, as if she was still in a deep sleep. The light spots surrounded her head, like a swarm of flying fireflies, sometimes converging and sometimes surging, emitting a bright light like a galaxy.

Several spark-like light spots drilled into the body of the puppet in the court dress, penetrating in as if there was no entity, but soon they came out again, enveloping a black thread.Just staring at it made Klein's spiritual intuition start to call the police, and there was an extremely weird aura on the black silk!

Something that frightened Klein happened, Esther held the black silk with the other hand without hesitation, and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Esther! You—" He couldn't help calling out to her, but then realized that he should keep quiet, so the shouting stopped abruptly.Klein wanted to cover his mouth. At this time, the most important thing for him to do was to keep quiet and not attract the attention of that "Esther". Best goal fellow.

Why did it become like this?Could this be why she wanted to live behind Chanis Gate! ?

"Esther" turned her head slightly, her eyes were still closed, and her sleepwalking expression remained unchanged, but Klein heard the sound coming from those spots of light, passing through the air on the physical plane, and directly entering his body. consciousness.

[Zhou, Ming, Rui. ]
There was a smile on the girl's face, as if she was dreaming, but that smile was more like a mask than sincerity, which made people feel creepy.

Klein raised the barrel again, aiming the revolver at the head of "Esther". He didn't know if he had the courage to pull the trigger, but this scene was too weird, and he had to firmly express his desire to fight against it. Willing, lest you be consumed by fear.

"Esther" didn't get any closer, but turned around and walked into the Chanis Gate. The court doll she was holding in her hand had also regained the calmness of a dead thing, and it stayed in her hand obediently.

"Dangdang!"

The Chanis Gate closed by itself, and there was no knocking sound or scattered light spots, and no sound came out from inside the gate, and the peace and silence of the day returned to the ground, as if nothing had happened.

It wasn't until then that Klein regained his thoughts and gradually calmed down. He returned to the night duty office and sat heavily on the chair. The strange symbol, the puppet in the black palace dress, and the spectacled man kept echoing in front of his eyes. Silver-haired Esther surrounded by dots of light.

And the scene where Esther swallowed that evil black silk into her mouth without hesitation still makes Klein shiver all over.

There was almost no obvious emotional fluctuations in the fellow's state. She looked completely different from usual. Klein thought of split personality, but would split personality have such a terrifying expression?It was more like out of control, but according to what Klein saw with his own eyes, she didn't have the tendency to completely alienate into a monster, only those strange spots of light were moving.

If this matter is reported to the captain, will Esther be arrested?No, she's behind Chanis Gate now...

The corridor was quiet, and there was no movement from Chanis' door.

Klein gritted his teeth and decided to seek more help. He pulled the rope, and the bell immediately rang in the Blackthorn Security Company.
