Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 41 People who are related to each other
Because the little bug refused to accompany Esther in the "boring human pastime" of playing cards, she lay down on the bed and began to doze off when she was extremely bored.

But not long after, Esther woke up screaming with a burning pain. She patted the clothes on her body in a panic, but found that nothing happened.The blazing heat that seemed to be burned after entering the flames of the sun just now was just an illusion in her dream, her whole body was in good condition, there was no flame in the hotel, even the candles had been burned out and extinguished.

what the hell! ?
Esther sat on the bed blankly, trying to recall the very short dream just now. She seemed to be standing in front of someone, and she was shattered after enduring a burst of golden fire. That person probably couldn't be saved?What a dead guy!
The power that filled the fire gave Esther the same feeling as a goddess, who would be too idle to tease the gods?Don't die!

There was an urgent knock on the door: "Esther? What's the matter!? Are you okay!"

Esther opened the door in a panic. Dunn's vigilant face outside the door made her smile embarrassedly: "No, I seem to have a nightmare..."

Dunn looked around the room and found that only the bed was messy, and there was nothing suspicious. He knew that what Esther said was probably true: "It's fine, if you're afraid..."

Dunn originally wanted to say that he and Frye were next door, but in the middle of the night, there were no other female team members, so it was very inconvenient for Esther to pass by, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

"I'll just light the candle." Esther immediately answered, not letting the captain freeze in embarrassment.

"Call me if there is any situation." Dunn nodded and went back to his room.

This little episode didn't cause any more waves, except that Esther complained a lot in her heart, and she couldn't figure out who could be so reckless, foolishly adding to the anger of the true god level.

This time, Esther's peaceful sleep lasted until the next morning. At six o'clock, Dunn came and knocked on Esther's door, asking her to go downstairs to have some breakfast.

At 3 o'clock, Klein, who got up early in the morning for the second rotation, returned to the hotel and handed the "0782-36" mutated sun holy emblem to Esther. After more than two hours, the four returned to Zotland Street No. [-].

After Esther and Dunn sent a few sealed artifacts into the Chanis Gate, she returned to the room at Dunn's suggestion. She rubbed her eyes and didn't object, because her drowsiness returned after stepping into the Chanis Gate. It surged up once.

"Good night, captain." Esther yawned and closed the door of the stone house.

Dunn who was standing outside smiled and shook his head: "Good night."

Klein returned to his home at No. 2 Daffodil Street after a short meeting with the informant he had developed, and met Elizabeth, who thanked him for the disappearance of the nightmare. This is Klein's younger sister's good friend at school.It was precisely because Elizabeth turned to Klein for help in the Divination Club that a group of people went to the town of Ramud to get rid of the resentful spirits.

Klein bought a cup of sweet iced tea from Sling Bakery and returned home with a pack of croquettes. Apart from Sling Bakery, this kind of market snack has gradually become popular in other places, but Klein vaguely remembers that Sling Bakery was First to go on sale.

There are still ten minutes before the start of the Tarot Club. Klein planned to go up and make preparations in advance. After sealing his bedroom with a spiritual wall, he walked four steps backwards in the room and read out four mantras:

[Fusheng Xuanhuang Immortal Venerable.

Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianjun.

Fusheng Xuanhuang God.

Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun. ]
Familiar ravings came, and Klein's resistance was already very strong. As the sticky feeling wrapped his perception, the fog in front of him became clear again.

Klein sat in the usual position of The Fool, at the top of the long bronze table, behind which were the "Hidden Eyes" and "Twisted Threads" outlined by many mysterious and strange lines.

The first time Klein returned here, he habitually raised his head and looked at the bulge on the tall dome. Since he was devastated by the eternal blazing sun last night, the gray fog there has become lighter, and now the gray fog has stabilized. Yes, and occasionally a very faint light can be seen coming from inside.

A faint halo was projected steadily on him, adding a sense of mystery to the Fool's unfathomable depth.

Light?This thing wouldn't be in the same vein as the light on Esther, would it?
Klein looked back and forth curiously. There was no other change in the gray fog hall. The previously damaged tables and chairs had been restored to their original state by the gray fog.Under the shroud of the halo, Klein didn't feel anything particularly obvious except that his output of spiritual power had decreased while staying on the gray mist.

"It's weird..."

Klein imagined the appearance of the citrine pendulum, and a concrete object naturally appeared in his hand. He then visualized a note, on which appeared a line of words, "The light on Esther will pose a threat to the Nighthawks team." .

After closing his eyes and meditating seven times, Klein opened his eyes again and found that the citrine was rapidly rotating counterclockwise with a large range, which meant that the light on Esther's body would not pose any threat to the Nighthawks.In fact, this is not the first time Klein has done this divination. Ever since he encountered Esther's strange behavior when he was guarding the Chanis Gate that day, he would find time to divine Esther's "threat" before and after each Tarot meeting. No matter how you change the statement, the result is the same.

Klein showed another sentence on the paper: "Extraordinary power has characteristics that will not disappear."

The pendulum rotated clockwise this time, showing affirmation, and Klein smiled with satisfaction.

interesting.Although the fellow's reasoning is incomplete, her intuition is very accurate. It's a pity that she is not a fortune-teller.

Before summoning the boy from the City of Silver, there is one more thing to confirm... Klein looked up at the sphere that was faintly protruding from the side of the dome, and revealed another sentence: "The light sphere above the gray fog hall is very important to me. harmful."

After seven silent recitations, the pendulum swayed and turned in a counterclockwise circle, but the range was very small. Klein carefully considered the possibility, and finally made another divination.

"The person who controls the gray mist can control the ball of light."

This time, the citrine turned like a propeller and gave a strong and definite answer clockwise, which made Klein feel relieved.It seems that the result of the divination just now was purely because his current sequence level was too low to control the "golden finger" of gray mist well. When the sequence is improved in the future, the light ball will naturally show a complete appearance.

What is this, buy one get one free?I don't know what this light ball does.

As Klein thought about it, he waved away everything at hand, reached out and touched the crimson star representing the "sun", and made preparations for today's Tarot Society.

Blackthorn Security Company has two new civil servants, a man and a woman. With Rosanne's introduction, Esther quickly got acquainted with the general personalities of the two: Jon is a middle-aged man who is not very good at words, Brown The yellow hairline is precarious, wearing an old gray windbreaker, although he is dull but very humble and sincere, he seems to feel a strong awe of the Nighthawks and extraordinary power.Janet was only a year younger than Roseanne, with red hair in a loose braid and lovely freckles. Janet had gone to public school and could write well.

"Nice to meet you." Esther shook hands with the two civil servants, met face to face, and took Rosanna's place to lead them to familiarize themselves with the various places of the Blackthorn Security Company, and gave a brief introduction.

Roseanne was very happy about this. After someone took a shift, she finally didn't have to be troubled by frequent staying up late.Esther just smiled and didn't make any comments.

Ever since the conversation with Xiao Chongzi in the hotel, Esther has always been distracted in the past two days, and she seems not particularly focused.

She didn't really want to stay in the company today, and finally decided to follow Luo Yao to go to Raphael's cemetery for a routine daily patrol.

"This is my first time here." Walking up the sparsely populated path leading to the back door, Esther glanced at the surrounding scenery.

Hearing this, Luo Yao just nodded coldly without making a sound.

There is only one iron gate on the path. This is the side path that the tomb guards usually take. It is not the gate used by family members to send their relatives off for the last time. It will be conspicuous when you walk there.Luo Yao took out the key, unlocked the palm-sized lock on the iron gate, and led Esther into the foggy park.

In the cloudy afternoon, the gloomy cemetery looked even more depressed and silent. It was far away from the crowds in the urban area. Except for the blowing of the wind, it was the occasional chirping of black-eyed crows.

The tombstones here are old and new, and many of the dates in the field of vision are old. However, due to the diligent cleaning and maintenance of the gravekeepers, only some weeds and wild flowers are entrenched in the corners, and only a few steles with slightly blurred writing On the ground, clinging to the tenacious moss.

Esther looked at those unfamiliar names and felt inexplicably sad. She saw several young people under the age of 20, even children, whose life had ended before it even started.There are also some empty stone tablets without names in the cemetery, and only the time of burial and the physical characteristics of the deceased are briefly engraved.

Human life is so fragile.The voice in my heart said to Esther.

Even if the weather is not so good today, some people come to visit their relatives with bouquets: it is a girl who is holding deep sleep flowers, and she is in her early 14s. Standing beside her is an older woman with gray hair. His wrinkles were filled with tears.

Luo Yao patted Esther's shoulder and motioned her to follow closely, and they walked towards another aisle lined with pits on both sides.

"I've seen them."

"Do you know the deceased?"

Luo Yao pulled out a very reluctant smile. Her usually cold face was not suitable for such a bitter smile: "Her brother is a punishment substitute. After the wife's husband was wrecked at sea, her brother So she served as the mainstay of her family, supporting her bright daughter to go to school. She often does some mending work in the dock area, and her craftsmanship is very delicate. Because it is not far from my previous rented house, I often go to take care of her business.”

"Punisher..." Esther thought of something, she seemed to hold her arms tightly because of the cold, in fact, Esther just didn't want Luo Yao to notice that her hands were shaking.

The smile on Luo Yao's face disappeared, replaced by undisguised pain and regret: "Well, just last week, that substitute lost control."

Esther turned her head and looked at the mother and daughter, the throbbing pain in her heart became more and more clear.

Old Neil, Klein, and she assisted the owner of the Dragon Bar to "deal with" the out-of-control Punisher.

Esther once again realized that fate is so sad and unreasonable, like a prank by God.
