Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Esther walked into Dunn's office with a wooden box in her arms. Her expression was so sad that Dunn had never seen her like this.

"what happened?"

Esther just shook her head: "Captain, I want to hand over this box to you. If something happens to me, I hope you can help me hand over the contents to Klein."

Dunn took the box, got up and put it in the cabinet beside him: "What's in it, can you tell me?"

Esther choked, and finally reached into her bosom, and took out a stack of oiled paper: "It's the formula for 'Monster', the sequence of Ademisor, and the part we collected is inside the box." Material."

"You—where did you get the formula, and you still collect it..." Dunn resisted the urge to take out the box and open it for a second look, looking at Esther in surprise.

"It was an accident, but I did get this formula by accident, so I'll give it to you, the captain." Esther handed the oiled paper sheet with the formula written on it to Dunn, and wanted to walk out of Dunn's office with her head downcast. .

Of course Dunn would not just let her go: "Wait a minute, Esther."

He pointed to the chair next to him: "Sit down? I think you should have something to say."

Esther stared at the chair silently for a moment, then shook her head: "I didn't... In fact, Mr. Neil seems to have noticed something strange about me."

Esther pulled out the broken knot from her pocket, which she had rubbed so hard it couldn't see its original shape.

Of course Dunn knew what this kind of knot was. The knot that Esther gave him was still tied to the key in his pocket. The gift he made and given to others was destroyed like this. sad.If Old Neil is afraid, he can completely leave it alone. Why would he destroy Esther's mind like this?

Esther gathered the broken knot tightly again, put it back into her pocket, and raised the corners of her mouth casually: "Actually, I should know that this day will come sooner or later, Captain."

Dunn's quiet and deep eyes penetrated Esther's forced smile: "Of course not."

He walked to Esther's side and patted her on the shoulder vigorously: "You have been one of us for a long time, Esther. It has been since the first time you fought with us."

After a pause, Dunn frowned again: "As for Old Neil, I will pay more attention to his situation. He didn't necessarily lose your gift out of fear, maybe there was some accident .”

Esther recalled Old Neil's gentleness and indulgence to her, as well as his patient and meticulous teaching on weekdays. Old Neil saw her laughing while drinking coffee, and she had great confidence in Dunn's words: "It's possible, at worst, I'll make another one up for him! He should have told me..."

Dunn smiled and nodded, shaking the oiled paper in his hand: "I will help you submit this formula to the Holy Church. If the authenticity and effectiveness are verified, perhaps Ademithor can officially join the Nighthawks and study How to control his own power. Isn’t this your wish? Let him no longer have to be troubled by those ravings and hallucinations.”

Esther nodded desperately: "Thank you Captain! Then I'll leave it to you!"

Dunn reluctantly returned to his desk and began to draft a new telegram to the Holy Church: "It would be nice if you told me earlier, if you can hand in the formula, it will be considered meritorious service. The Holy Church doesn't care how you got it." of."

"Understood! Then I won't bother you, captain!" Esther walked away with a smile. Dunn was willing to help her a lot in this matter, which dispelled the sentimentality in Esther's heart a lot.

After Esther left, Dunn stared at the door for a few seconds, as if he had forgotten something.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember it. Dunn could only shake his head and continue typing the telegram sent to the Holy Church.

The next morning, Esther was sitting in the reception hall holding a refreshing drink with more milk than coffee, and Rosanne was flipping through the "Tingen Morning Post" delivered today.While Esther was stirring the fifth spoonful of sugar into the cup, Klein walked into the gate of the Blackthorn Security Company. He seemed to be in a good mood, with a very warm smile on his face.

"Good morning." Seeing Klein walk in, Roseanne raised her head to greet him, "Old Neil is sick, and we are going to visit him at noon."

Esther took a sip of the overly sweet milk coffee: "Bring him some lunch and fruit."

"Old Neil is sick?" Klein was full of surprise, but soon thought appeared in his eyes, as if he remembered something.

Luo Shan nodded vigorously: "He asked for leave from the captain yesterday. I chatted with Esther, and I feel that he was really not in a good spirit yesterday."

Klein nodded slightly: "Then let's go at noon. Sigh, speaking of it, old Neil is also very pitiful. His wife passed away early, and the child doesn't know which city he is busy with. Now he is probably lying at home alone, with no one around him. Personal care."

Hearing Klein's exclamation, Roseanne's eyes widened, and she asked back in astonishment, "When was Old Neil married?"

"I went to Old Neil's house, just last month, and found a piano in the living room. He told me that his deceased wife liked music very much..." Klein's voice gradually lowered, and something was wrong with him. premonition.

Esther also put down the coffee cup, and looked at Luoshan blankly: "I also heard him mention it recently, saying that he had a deceased wife."

After the two said this, Luo Shan's eyebrows also frowned, but her tone was uncertain: "But in the first half of the year, Mrs. Orianna and I will visit Old Neil's house. No piano. I even distinctly remember asking him why he was single, and he replied that he hadn't met the lady that made him want to marry..."

Klein's body was visibly tense, and his spiritual intuition made the bad feeling stronger and stronger: "Rosanne, how long has it been since you visited Old Neil's house?"

This question was answered by Esther: "I haven't been to Old Neil's house, but I have an impression of that time. She has been relatively busy since June, and she didn't visit Mr. Neil again."

Roseanne nodded and agreed with Esther's words: "Yes, it was about that time. Since Viola chose to leave the company, the work of the clerical staff has been much busy. I am either staying up late or trying to catch up on sleep. , basically no time to visit Old Neil, after all we all have shifts, and Esther can't replace us yet."

Klein took out a halfpenny coin from his pocket and sandwiched it between his thumb and middle finger. He took a deep breath, entered a divination meditation state, and flipped the coin after silently reciting the sentence seven times in his heart.

The brass-colored penny spun and flew up and down, landing on Klein's open palm.

Klein's complexion immediately turned sour. He didn't dare to delay, and quickly said: "Old Neil's current situation is wrong! I'll notify the captain!"

Seeing Klein running down the stairs at the back door, Roseanne turned anxiously to Esther: "Old Neil, he won't really lose control, right? Although he's always mean, he's a good man Ah, he can also joke with everyone, and he won't really get angry with people, no, it shouldn't be..."

Esther recalled the broken peace knot and had a judgment in her heart, but she didn't reveal her uneasiness, and instead comforted Luo Shan: "Don't worry, I'll go with the captain to visit Old Neil right now. He hasn't shown any obvious abnormalities during this time, nor has he acted aggressively, so we may have time to rush over now. The Goddess will definitely bless us."

Esther would never mention the matter of the Goddess so seriously, and her resolute words eased Rosanne's nervousness a little: "Yes, Goddess, old Neil must be safe..."

Esther gave Roseanne a friendly hug, then let her go and stood quietly by the door, waiting.Esther didn't wait long, and went out together with Dunn, Klein, and Luo Yao, and called Cesare, who was the coachman, and the group went to the address of Old Neil's house in a carriage.

Dunn also carried a sealed item in his hand, "3-0611" Quiet Hair. Esther had seen this sealed item with special functions many times, but when she thought of using it to fight against Old Neil , She felt a throbbing pain in her heart.

Dunn even took out "Half of Dawn" and gave it to Esther. Everyone had already anticipated the worst situation in their hearts and prepared for the worst.

Esther took the half-broken sword silently, but just held it in her hand and didn't put it in her arms.

On the way, Dunn looked at the street and pedestrians outside the car window, and whispered about the past:

"Old Neil actually had a couple who were about to get engaged when he was young. They were very close in love, but his lover suddenly became seriously ill, and ordinary medicine could not do anything about her condition. Old Neil risked leaking Extraordinary's secret risk, tried to save her with ritual magic, but failed. After all, Old Neil was just getting started in the field of mysticism at that time.

According to the records in the archives, the Nighthawks at that time were all wary of Old Neil's situation, and they were worried that Old Neil would lose control because of this.Fortunately, he finally regained his sanity and showed no abnormalities. "

Klein couldn't help drawing a crimson moon on his chest, and prayed in a low voice: "May the goddess bless him."

Dunn and Luo Yao followed suit and said, "May the goddess bless him."

Only Esther didn't make any moves, she just clenched her fists on her knees little by little, secretly hating herself for not discovering the strangeness in Old Neil's body earlier, and noticing earlier that the peace knot she sent had been broken.

The gloomy clouds in the sky dissipated, and the warm afternoon sun shone through. The carriage of the Nighthawks team stopped in front of Old Neil's house. The color scheme of this single-family house was warm and simple, and the light brown roof exuded the flavor of milk coffee. Soft and quiet standing in the garden with beautiful roses and golden mint.

Esther only felt uneasy in her heart. After getting off the carriage, her eyes became more determined and persistent.

No matter what, I won't let anything happen to Old Neil.

In order to protect the fate of the Tingen Nighthawks, everything is worth it.

A golden light flashed across her eyes.
