Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 33 The Bad Secret

"You said Sealed Artifact 3-0625 escaped?" Leonard kept staring at Klein, wondering what he was thinking.

Several Nighthawks ran down. After Klein briefly stated what he saw just now, they failed to give a specific explanation, and scattered into an arc, maintaining a defensive posture.They didn't rest assured to discuss the situation with him until they confirmed that Klein hadn't reacted abnormally by reciting prayers.

Klein nodded: "That doom puppet wanted to come out, but just as it leaned over, it was caught by...Esther."

Luo Yao frowned immediately: "You don't sound very sure."

Klein was silent for a few seconds, and described what he saw truthfully: "Her head was surrounded by many light spots, and her closed eyes looked like she was sleepwalking. She grabbed the puppet, Those spots of light drew some kind of power from the puppet, and then..."

Leonard frowned: "Then?"

Klein took a deep breath: "Then Esther ate that weird thing."

Several people didn't speak for a while, Luo Yao's hand was caressing her gun uneasily, Kenli stared blankly in the direction of Chanis Gate, Leonard frowned and tilted his head, as if he was in deep thought.

Klein didn't urge them either. Seeing the behavior of several people, he understood that they didn't understand the situation either. When one person's confusion became everyone's confusion, Klein's psychological pressure eased a little.

It would be best if Leonard shook his head inexplicably, and then he looked at Klein: "We don't know the reason for all this. Since the Chanis Gate has been closed again, and there are no other abnormalities, then we shouldn't rush at this time Enter. Must wait for dawn, for the captain to make a decision."

Klein sighed inwardly, hoping that Dunn could give himself a more specific answer when the report came.

Luo Yao added: "I will stay here and be on duty with you."

"Okay," Leonard spread his hands, "As the strongest person here, I'll stay too. Go back upstairs, Kenli, in case the police department has an urgent case and won't be able to knock on the door."

Ke Enli didn't say anything, just nodded and left.

Idle is also idle, Leonard suggested that the three of them play cards for a while, Klein has no objection to the way of fighting evil, but was surprised that Luo Yao, who was deserted, was actually very good at playing cards.

During the game, Leonard mentioned the information about the Doom Muppet, and analyzed that it might have been influenced by other sealed items. The most suspicious one was the previous "Notes of the Antigonus Family".

"What kind of power is behind the Chanis Gate?" Klein asked his long-standing question.

Leonard chuckled: "It's not just the sealed room buried deep underground and a few elderly watchmen. When the sun goes down, the watchmen will leave Chanis Gate and return to St. Selina's Church. The power inside will gather at night. At its peak, it is no longer suitable for living things, and it will not weaken until the sun rises. This is why the captain told us not to enter the Chanis gate no matter what noise we heard."

Luo Yao glanced at the pensive Klein: "Esther is an exception."

Leonard played two 6s: "In fact, we have been guessing that there is some kind of sealed item placed in Esther's body. And Esther has long been integrated with that sealed item. The reason she needs to sleep in the Chanis Gate."

Klein recalled the mutated fellow from that time, and sighed: "This is really..."

Looking at it this way, the fellow is also unlucky enough.

Luo Yao touched the cards and said, "The operation of the Chanis Gate is a kind of magic circle. It will be placed under the central church in each city. It is to use the power of visiting believers. Their devout prayers will allow some spirituality to enter The magic circle, the accumulation of less makes more."

"Is that so." Klein got a bad hand of cards, and his luck was as unfortunate as ever.

Leonard added: "There are more protective measures behind the Chanis gate. Saint Selina's ashes are buried inside. She was a high-sequence powerhouse during her lifetime. There are rumors that high-sequence powerhouses leave behind after death. The corpse or ashes under it still have incredible power, of course, this is just a rumor."

Klein nodded thoughtfully, and felt that he had learned a little bit of mysticism that he hadn't touched.

The rest of the night seemed quite peaceful. Apart from losing a lot of money playing cards, Klein encountered nothing.

Ah, I was really unlucky too.Klein counted his wallet in pain, unable to believe that he had lost a whole two soli.

Klein wrote down what happened last night in his notebook, and changed shifts with Ms. Sika who entered the guard room around six o'clock. Klein, who had stayed up all night, looked exhausted, while Leonard and Luo Yao next to him were still Very spiritual, which is the strength of the "Sleepless" sequence.

When Klein was about to go home through cutting, Dunn opened the door and came in. He immediately told Dunn what happened last night.

Dunn frowned and remained silent for a moment, then he took down the notebook in the guard room and signaled Klein to follow him into his office.After closing the door, Klein watched Dunn transcribe the words he saw Esther last night on another piece of paper, and then blacked out Klein's handwriting, keeping only the part until the Muppet of Doom appeared.

"Klein, please state what happened last night again, and don't omit any details about Esther."

Klein described in detail everything he saw last night, including when Esther looked at him with a weird smile, but Klein concealed the fact that she called out her "real name".

After listening to this, Dunn wrote something on the paper, and then raised his head, with obvious sadness in his always deep and quiet gray eyes: "What I will tell you next, I hope you will not tell others. Although the church did not want to hide it, but Esther... it may cause fear and disgust in others."

Klein was shocked: "Captain, did you just say 'it'?"

"Yes. Esther must live behind the Chanis Gate, I think you've already noticed how abnormal this is."

Klein nodded: "She—I mean, is Esther really a sealed item? But..."

Klein's language was a bit confusing, and it was hard for him to describe how complicated his mood was at the moment. During his entry into the Nighthawks, he had come into contact with a lot of materials on sealed items, and thought he could be considered a beginner in occultism, but this kind of thing was far beyond his cognition.

"Yes, the essence of Esther is the sealed item."

"Isn't she a human being?" Klein's voice trembled almost inaudibly, and he couldn't imagine what a fellow villager was.

"Old Neil should have warned you not to look at her with spiritual vision."

Klein was silent. He kept staring at Dunn's desk, not daring to look at Dunn's sad eyes.

"The Holy Church didn't introduce it in too much detail. It should be out of protection for us, but our attitude towards Esther will also affect Esther's response to us accordingly. Ceci who came from Backlund Senior Deacon Ma has witnessed the oath Esther made with the 'Goddess Sword', so Esther will do her best to protect the Tingen Nighthawks team."

"So she won't hurt us?"

"Yes, you should have noticed that she ran to the scene privately before."

"We were going after Riel Bieber and the notebook... She really freaked me out when she showed up."

Dunn took out his pipe, filled it with shredded tobacco, and sucked on the cigarette holder without lighting it: "The first time I went to the Dragon Bar with you and Old Neil, Esther showed signs of being out of control. So After that, I began to avoid letting Esther participate in combat missions, and asked Esther to stay in the company more. In this way, if there is a situation, we can send Esther into the Chanis Gate as soon as possible.”

Klein clenched his fists, but his mood became more and more calm: "She is obviously no different from ordinary people."

"That should also be an Extraordinary. The extraordinary power in her is very special, at least it doesn't belong to any sequence we are familiar with. Since the Holy Church tells us not to pursue it, we'd better avoid talking about it."

Klein let go of his fist and rubbed his cane: "I know, but I can't treat her as a sealed item. I think the colleagues of the Blackthorn Security Company are the same."

Dunn's eyes returned to calm and deep, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "I know their rumors, and I acquiesced to that. Because you saw that scene last night, I will tell you the truth, but I don't want you to distance yourself from it. she."

Klein nodded solemnly. It was difficult for him to equate fellow villagers with sealed items, not to mention that Esther was the only one in the world who could communicate with her in Chinese, and that Emperor Roselle didn't know where he was. buried inside.So what if it's not human?Extraordinary people are not considered normal people, Esther's identity is similar to a living sealed item, this is not a big deal, is it?
I've gone through time travel, I fell on Klein who committed suicide, and it's not unreasonable for her to fall on a Sealed Artifact that is not a living person.

Of course, Dunn didn't know Klein's thoughts, and he showed a relieved smile: "I'm glad you can understand this situation, and you are willing to continue to trust Esther. Because of her own characteristics... By the way, this is the part I can't say , if there is a chance in the future, I will let you know."

Klein was curious, but he knew what not to be curious about. After bidding farewell to Dunn, he decisively left the office.

Unexpectedly, the captain shouted again: "Wait, there is another reminder, don't tell Esther what happened last night, I'm afraid it will stimulate her memory."

"I see, Captain."

Dunn thought for two seconds, but Klein didn't move. Sure enough, he received another instruction: "One more thing, she seems to like you very much, otherwise she wouldn't have smiled at you in that state."

"Is there anything wrong with this?" Klein asked suspiciously.

"No, just to remind you, because too much contact with Esther, the memory of people around will be subtly affected. Oh, but my memory is not because of her problem."

Dunn blinked, and slightly diluted the solemn and heavy atmosphere in the room with a joke.

"There's really nothing to do this time, go back and rest."
