Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Esther was lying in the stone house, quietly, even the sound of her heartbeat was almost swallowed by the eternal silence here.

She didn't know how long she stared at the ceiling, a throbbing pain suddenly burst out from her head, she curled up subconsciously, and pressed her forehead against the cold and hard wall, but it was useless, the head almost burst from the inside out The pain made her clasp her fingers on her head desperately.

Sparse golden light spots floated from her head, circling crazily in the darkness, surrounding her in a disorderly and chaotic manner.

A few minutes later, as soon as the pain subsided, Esther reached out to touch the switch of the lampshade, allowing the dim blue candlelight to illuminate the room.

There was a little blood on her nails, Esther touched her head, and gasped because she touched the wound, and she unknowingly pulled blood out of her head.

What happened just now?

The pain came and went quickly, but it was so intense that it seemed that a part of Esther's soul had been ripped out from the depths of Esther's mind.She could sense that someone was in danger, but her current state was too unstable, and she couldn't even tell who was in trouble just now.

This kind of overly painful feedback is unprecedented, could it be Klein?It's the lock of hair I gave him earlier!

Esther recalled the extra gifts she gave to her fellow countrymen at that time. She leaned against the wall anxiously, her hands twisted together due to tension.What situation would be so tense that that lock of hair gets touched?Esther didn't know either.

She couldn't do anything except sit in the cold stone house and wait, and her state was not even strong enough to support her bloodletting and drawing the "infinity symbol".Without Dunn's permission, Esther could not use the sealed item by herself. Now, she might not even know where the captain and the others are.

Again, the long, anxious and hopeless wait...

Esther was slightly taken aback, why did she feel "yes again"?
The dark silence was attached to the back of her hand. Since suppressing Old Neil's loss of control, Esther noticed that the extraordinary power around her had become clearer. For example, now, she could clearly feel the power pouring in from Chanis Gate. The patterns outside her stone gate, then fell on her continuously.

Esther buried her face in her hands, trying not to cry.

She didn't cry, she just wrapped herself in a quilt, closed her eyes against the stone wall, and fell into a sleep as quiet as death.

The little bug poked its head out of Esther's nest of handkerchiefs. It noticed that the suppressing power on its body was weakening day by day, which made it wonder why Esther was so weak. this level?The self-repair of Guangdian absorbing the power of fate is interrupted by external factors time and time again.

Someone is targeting her, cutting her powers.

Xiao Chongzi is quite familiar with this way of hiding behind the stage to manipulate the plot, but the light cocoon around it cuts off all possibilities for it to stay away from Esther.

Maybe when Esther died, it would die with it. The little bug rolled up the handkerchief indifferently and covered itself tightly.

It doesn't matter, anyway, this is just the most common avatar, it's a pity that this person with a strange fate can't be reported to the main body, otherwise it would be more interesting to let the main body be bullied by her.

-

No matter what happens in the night, a new day will come as expected, and the sun is still performing its duty in the sky, keeping the dim starry sky from its own brilliance.

Esther knocked on the door of Dunn's office, but it took a few minutes before a particularly helpless voice came out: "Stop standing there, come in."

Opening the door, Esther saw Dunn sucking a pipe in a daze. He stared at the table sadly. There were a few broken silver hairs and an auspicious knot dyed blood red on the table. The original warm orange and pearl white thread balls have completely lost their original colors.

Esther trembled all over. It was the braided knot she gave to Kenley. Although it was not broken, it was almost soaked in blood. Esther was so far away that she couldn't tell if the smell of iron on the tip of her nose was real. Or she was too nervous fantasy.

"It looks like you recognized him. He's still alive, but his condition is very bad. Because of the witch's black flame, the right half of his body," Dunn moved his left hand down from his right shoulder to the wrist, "almost It's all burned through. Your auspicious knot is stuck under the black flames, so we didn't notice it fell out and soaked like this when we urgently amputated the limb."

"He...Kenli, is he still alive?"

After a while, Dunn let out a "huh".

He originally thought that Esther would be sad, and he even had a plan on how to comfort Esther who was crying and collapsed, but Esther's performance surprised Dunn. After she heard that Kenley was still alive , just let out a long sigh of relief.

"At least he's alive, at least..." Esther's eyes did fill with tears, "I'm sorry, Captain, if only I could—"

Dunn raised a hand and interrupted what Esther wanted to say: "When you feel guilty because of this incident, I am the one who really needs to apologize. You didn't need to bear the responsibility of the Nighthawks. Responsibility, but I let you participate in our mission, so that you are constantly exposed to the rather sad side of the extraordinary world."

After a few seconds of silence in the office, Dunn spoke again: "I'm sorry for always making you pay for responsibilities that don't belong to you. You have paid enough, Esther. Thank you for always protecting the Tingen Nighthawks." Squad."

Dunn's eyes were so sincere that Esther couldn't find anything to say. She shook her head at a loss, unable to utter a word.

"And this," Dunn pushed the broken hairs forward, "this is the key to saving Kenli's life, and it helped him completely block the curse in the mirror. This is Klein handed it to me, and when I saw the dots of light floating out of him, I thought you followed him privately again, and you were quite frightened."

Esther laughed dryly twice, quite reluctantly.

"In short, we all came back alive, thank you for your good luck. Even though you were not by our side, you still helped us at that time."

Esther moved her eyes awkwardly, not daring to meet Dunn's gaze: "But I should be able to do more, Captain. I wonder if the Holy Church has mentioned my ability? I also want to seek a promotion .”

Dunn shook his head: "This is impossible, Esther. As you know, sealed items cannot improve their own strength, they have already solidified."

As if realizing that his statement was inappropriate, Dunn quickly said again: "Of course, this is just a metaphor, but your situation is indeed special."

"Well, I actually thought of this answer." Esther suddenly smiled at Dunn, as if she had relieved some kind of burden. "Anyway, I have to recover first. Since I can't be promoted, I will find a way." Take control of the power you have."

The uneasiness in Dunn's heart was rising, but he didn't show it. Instead, he looked back at Esther with relief: "I'm glad you can see it this way. There is still a long way to go, so don't rush for a while. Extraordinary power is always Dangerous, even if it is your own power, you should face it with caution, especially when those powers are too large."

A word suddenly popped out of Esther's mind: "Chaos."

"What?" Dunn didn't hear clearly, he looked at Esther suspiciously.

"Ah, it's okay. I went to find Luo Shan. I hope she made tea this morning instead of coffee."

Esther's smile disappeared immediately after closing the office door. She walked towards the armory expressionlessly, and walked in without even knocking on the door.

To Esther's surprise, she didn't see Janet who was supposed to be on duty here today, the new clerical girl who arrived some time ago, and Leonard sitting behind the desk.

After seeing Leonard, Esther turned away almost immediately, but Leonard stopped her: "Why are you running? Why have you been avoiding me these two days?"

The corner of Esther's mouth twitched: "Well, I am indeed avoiding you. Isn't it normal to be afraid of other people's secrets?"

Leonard's emerald green eyes were full of disgust: "It's been a few months, it's hard to tell who has more secrets, you or me! I always think you are weirder!"

Esther leaned against the door frame, keeping a position where she could turn around and leave at any time: "Then I'm slow, I'm getting scared now, can't I?"

"Is there anything else you're afraid of? Besides black coffee."

"I'm not afraid of black coffee! I just don't like bitterness!"

Leonard raised his eyebrows, and said "humming" twice: "Your attitude is finally normal now. What's going on with you these two days? Isn't it just that your hair has lost its color! There's nothing wrong with white hair Well, look at Sika."

Fading hair?What exactly did Luo Yao tell them?
Esther rubbed her right eye socket in distress: "I don't dare to approach you, because I always feel that there is something about you..."

Leonard's expression changed, he subconsciously raised his arm and sniffed his sleeve, then stared at Esther suspiciously: "It's not smelly either. I have several shirts of the same style, and I just change them. "

"No! There's something else. It's like you've hidden something delicious."

Leonard took out his pocket and threw two toffees on the table: "This? Take it if you want to eat it."

Esther shook her head violently, and then swallowed: "It's not this either! I think it's something else that might help me recover better, so I don't want to have too much contact with you."

Leonard scratched his head blankly, making his already loose black hair even more messy: "Is there anything else on me—"

His voice stopped abruptly, and he tilted his head as if he was listening to something, and he did not hide his abnormality in front of Esther at all.

Then Leonard looked at Esther in shock, and relayed the words to her according to the voice in his head just now: "The old man said, if you really want to recover quickly, you can eat the Extraordinary characteristics of the current sequence... This, is this something that humans can do? Don’t you need to take any potion!?”

Esther narrowed her eyes: "Then help me, thank you, old man? My current sequence..."

Leonard listened for another dozen seconds before hesitating and slowly said: "Your current sequence is the 'Thief' pathway, and you are already a 'Decryption Scholar' of Sequence Seven. The old man doesn't know why your fate is so chaotic , the fate of those involved with you is constantly twisting. Ah, he also said..."

Leonard suddenly fell silent for a few seconds, staring at Esther strangely.

Esther was a little dazed: "What else did he say?"

"The old man also said thank you for your kindness?"

Esther didn't hold back, and coughed violently. When she managed to catch her breath, she waved her hand and hurried away: "It should be, I don't think I can really stutter..."
