Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Esther didn't get up too late this morning. When she ran out of the house in a hurry, she almost bumped into the gatekeeper. After apologizing to the old guard, she continued to cover her mouth and rushed to the entertainment room, grabbing the kettle from the room He poured it into his mouth as soon as he came, and filled a whole pot of warm water.

Frye next to him stared straight at him, a crack appeared on his usual cold expression: "Esther?"

"Ugh, ugh! Huh, it's much better, it's finally much better... Good morning, Frye, Luo Yao."

Luo Yao thoughtfully watched Esther put down the kettle: "Uncomfortable?"

"I don't know, I just feel nauseous, as if I ate something bad last night, but I obviously didn't feel anything before going to bed, and I always want to retch when I wake up."

Luo Yao nodded: "Go talk to the captain?"

"Huh? It's just a bad stomach. You don't need to tell the captain about such a small matter." Esther laughed sheepishly. She and Rosanne reached a consensus on this aspect—the father-like majesty and nagging on Dunn, listen Too many people always want to go around.

Just in time, Leonard walked into the room. He had already put on his windbreaker and was going home to sleep after his shift. He came to help the captain with a message. He didn't expect Esther to be here: "Oh, you woke up so early , I thought you would sleep until noon. The captain asked you to wake up and go to him."

"Well, it seems that we can't hide." Esther followed Leonard out of the entertainment room.

After Leonard closed the door of the entertainment room, he walked a few steps side by side with Esther, and stopped her suddenly.

Esther looked at him blankly: "Is the captain looking for me or you looking for me?"

"You looked very anxious just now, and I didn't stop calling you."

"I felt like I ate something disgusting, so I was busy looking for water to drink. Aren't there no bugs in the Chanis door?"

Leonard twitched the corners of his mouth, and his smile gradually became uncontrollable. It seemed that Esther had indeed eaten something: "Of course, there won't be any flying insects in it."

"That's fine, it's probably just my gut. What do you want to tell me?"

Leonard opened his mouth and closed it again. This action was repeated twice. Esther didn't understand what he was doing, so he could only stand there. After all, Leonard was still blocking the middle of the aisle.

"That's right, Esther, your mental state... have you forgotten anything? Or have you done something against your will?"

Esther shook her head suspiciously: "No, I feel pretty good. If it wasn't for my stomach discomfort, I would be very comfortable this morning."

"...All right." Leonard retreated to the side of the corridor to make way for Esther, but his expression was still not very good, "You go to the captain."

"You have something on your mind?"

"Um...ah, no, I was just thinking about something. You go! I'm going home to sleep, I'm sleepy."

Esther was amused by Leonard's perfunctory words: "You are the path of the sleepless, Mr. Mitchell."

"That's for sleeping too!" Leonard left without looking back.

Hearing Esther walking towards the captain's office, the sound of the door opening and closing sounded, and the corridor briefly returned to silence. Leonard asked in a low voice: "Old man, what do you mean you can't be suppressed? Even the Chanis Gate can't completely suppress it." The sealed item in Esther's body?"

An old voice sounded in Leonard's mind: "If I tell you not to pursue it, can you forget about it?"

"Of course not!"

"Alas..." The old voice sighed heavily with helplessness, "I'm really unlucky. I can't suppress it because Chanismen's personality is not enough. You think you can investigate this matter with your personality kind of thing?"

Leonard clenched his fists suddenly, and he suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Thinking of the captain's mysterious appearance, he seemed to be unable to do anything, even the captain was following the order of the church.

What if one day they want Esther to sleep completely?Chanis Gate is not good, will Esther be...

Leonard didn't dare to imagine that situation, he already regarded Esther as his friend.

The old voice didn't care about Leonard's mood, and continued to explain: "Since she stayed voluntarily, and the Holy Church has a special telegram order, this probably involves a secret transaction. Some extraordinary things can be extracted from her. From the perspective of strength and even devouring, 'Esther' is the real disguise, don't underestimate the weirdness of the extraordinary world!"

Leonard rubbed his hair, which made his already loose black hair even more messy: "Old man, if that sealed item wakes up completely, what will happen to Esther?"

The old man's voice did not sound again.

Leonard smiled wryly: "Ah, I think so too..."

He didn't ask "Can't you help her?" because he knew the old man's answer without asking.

"Captain. You called me?"

Dunn put down the sealed item materials in his hand, and pointed to the armchair next to the bookcase: "Esther, sit down. How did you sleep last night?"

Esther closed the door and sat upright on the chair: "It's good. I just don't know what I ate last night. I woke up in the morning and felt nauseous. I feel much better after drinking water just now."

"Did you hear anything?"

Esther echoed for a moment, then shook her head: "When I'm asleep, I'm usually very solid, and I don't notice the movement of the outside world. What happened last night?"

"It's nothing, it's just that there is a sealed item running around, and it was locked back soon." Dunn dismissed the matter lightly, with a very casual tone, "So, have you ever left Tingen?"

"No, I've been here as long as I can remember."

Dunn still held his pipe in his hand, took a sip from time to time, and frowned slightly: "Have you considered your plan to leave Tingen?"

Esther stared at the captain blankly, wondering why he said this suddenly.

"If you ever become interested in other cities, Backlund will be a good choice."

"Captain," Esther's tone became cold and hard, "I have an oath to connect with the Tingen Nighthawks team, it is impossible for me to leave everyone and go somewhere else."

For a moment, there was an embarrassing silence in the office.

It was Dunn who was the first to let go: "My suggestion was too abrupt, sorry. This is just a suggestion, just listen to it. It's just that when you need help, you can go to the Church of Evernight in various places. This is what the church telegram said. Let me pass on your content."

Esther could feel that this was Heiye's deliberate favor. She couldn't figure out what the "goddess" had to do to treat herself so kindly, but under Dunn's gaze, Esther just nodded: "Please convey to me My thanks, in fact, I feel very lucky to be able to stay in Blackthorn Security Company."

Dunn was silent for a few seconds, didn't say anything else, and raised his pipe towards the door: "Go ahead, I just want to ask you about last night's situation. It's good that last night didn't affect your rest, there's nothing else to do."

Esther nodded and left Dunn's office.

Dunn put the pipe on the desk, stared at it without any action, he should have returned a telegram to the church, but some kind of depressed low pressure fell on his shoulders, so Dunn didn't get up for a long time.

He always felt as if he had forgotten something, but he never remembered it.

-

In the next period of time, the Nighthawks returned to their normal shift life, Klein spent two weeks of relatively leisurely life, and the Blackthorn Security Company did not encounter any major cases.

Outside of the work of the Nighthawks, Klein learned about the crimes of the fraudster "Lan Erwusi", and also met his fiancée Megose, but he didn't get any clues.On the other hand, Klein investigated Dust Guderian, a doctor at Greenhurst Asylum, developed him into an informant, and reported the matter to Dunn.

Esther enjoyed such a peaceful life, but there was still no news about the "monster" formula material she wanted to track down, which made her very distressed, so she could only occasionally follow Old Neil or Klein to trade at the Dragon Bar After a while in the market, let Ademisor sit peacefully beside him humming a song for a while.

Such a peaceful life did not last long, and the conspiracy and filth brewed under the tranquility surfaced with the surge of death cases.

When the Tingen City Police Headquarters collected statistics again, it was found that the number of deaths in the past two weeks had reached five times the normal number. Although they were all normal deaths, the number was large enough to cause panic.

Such weird things naturally have to be handed over to the official Extraordinary who deal with special factors. The relevant reports are not only placed on Dunn's desk, but also appear in the captain's office of Punisher and Mechanical Heart.

The troops were divided into two groups. Klein, Leonard and Frye went to Iron Cross Street as a group, and Sika, Luo Yao and Old Neil went to the North District as a group. This was Dunn's final decision.And he himself and Esther will stay in the security company to deal with any unexpected accidents, or activate the sealed item in time to bring Esther to reinforcements.

Although Esther's condition was unstable some time ago, the Holy Church replied that there is no need to worry, and the current case has a very evil flavor. Considering everyone's safety, Dunn urged the team members not to act rashly , Find clues and report immediately.

It was getting late, and under Dunn's persuasion, Esther had to go back to Chanis Gate to rest.

Not long after she closed her eyes, she suddenly struggled to sit up. At this moment, Esther's eyes were still tightly closed, and light yellow spots scattered between her hair, illuminating the darkness in the stone house.An invisible dead silence flooded into the room, suppressing her limbs and head, and quickly gathered the rays of light, forcing them to fall back on Esther's hair.

The eyeballs under Esther's eyelids trembled slightly, and she opened them in a daze after the abnormality ended.

"Captain... are they in danger? It seems to be..." Esther scratched her hair blankly, then lay down again in a daze, "It seems to be over."

"Don't take me..."

She yawned, completely enveloped by the silent darkness, and her consciousness became dull, and soon fell into a deep sleep again, ignorant of what happened outside.
