Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 5 Accident
Esther muttered in her heart, and began to think about the strangeness of the incident just now. What puzzled her most was "her own reaction".Normal people should panic the moment they see blood, and even people who don't faint at the sight of blood should feel fear at the first sight.

Esther recalls that moment when her heart beat faster, more from the bang of the knife being thrown than from the man's hand being chopped off.When facing that scene, her emotions were too calm, as if she had indifferently seen the incident and watched it happen before the words were spoken. This is indeed not like a normal person.

Well, maybe I'm a little abnormal, but that's all.

Then Esther put the matter behind her.

But she doesn't want to get involved, it doesn't mean things won't come to her.

Esther is carrying a bag of red snakes and oranges, which she bought with her own money from the ripe-faced fruit stall owner, perhaps because it was the first food she tasted, and Esther fell in love with snakes It tastes like fruit, and oranges are the materials she considers to use to research new baked products. Because she was embarrassed to ask Wendy to pay for it, Esther stopped by and bought some herself.

She was blocked in the alley by several people, and Esther chose this path because it was a shortcut, and now it seems that she is not the only one who prefers this path.

The leading man had a beard and a dagger attached to his right wrist, which matched his ferocious aura quite well.

"We meet again." The man smiled ferociously, as if he had already planned how to treat Esther.

Esther's eyes flicked over these people one by one, paused briefly on the handsome man with a round face in the last row, and finally returned to the man in the lead: "You will die of unexpected betrayal."

The man's expression suddenly turned ugly. He obviously remembered the strangeness of breaking his hand last time, and he was about to call people to rush up, wanting to kidnap this stupid girl first and toss her to death.

Esther didn't ignore the little bug's instructions this time. Esther knew that this was not a situation she could solve alone, so she decided to follow the instructions, raised her hand and opened her ten fingers to the people on the opposite side and behind her at the same time. .

Red snake fruit and oranges rolled to the ground.

But she changed what the little bug told her again: "You're going to steal their lives".

"I want to steal this part of your fate that meets me."

This sentence was not spoken in Loen language, Esther didn't know what language it was, she just spit it out following her intuition, her instinct gave feedback one step ahead of her thinking.

Then Esther folded her hands together.

At this moment, Esther's hair faded to silvery white, and light spots as small as stars rose from her head, blurring people's vision one after another.Esther's black pupils spread out until they filled her pale gray pupils, a chaotic and distorted light lit up from them, and intense light burst out from her, filling the alley.

Esther ran out of the alley in a panic, and all those people froze in place, with a strange blankness gradually disappearing in their eyes.The round-faced man in the back row was the first to come to his senses. He looked around, bent down and picked up a red snake fruit on the ground. He felt that he seemed to have forgotten something, but he still couldn't remember it. This made him full of vigilance and suspicion. Is there a higher sequence Extraordinary who has just passed by.

The leading man with a broken wrist kicked an orange violently, the orange fell on the dirty brick wall, and the juice dripped all over the floor.

"**, why do you feel so annoying... Let's find a place to drink!"

They just left dejectedly, everyone's spirits were not very good, but the round-faced man looked at the alley again before leaving, he felt a subtle uneasiness, but it didn't arouse any memory.

Esther's heart was beating very fast, and her head was almost about to explode. She could only run forward by instinct, and she didn't even notice when she bumped into someone.

Accompanied by the collapse of the memory, the pain formed a hole, constantly absorbing any thoughts born by Esther, and almost drained all her emotions and thoughts. Esther couldn't hear any instructions from the little bug, only Yue Yue The louder and louder tinnitus, as well as the constant chaotic pain, made Esther feel more and more out of control, the pain was screaming in every cell, she wanted to scream, and the light in her body Rip it all out, throw it all out—

[Esther.]
Someone is calling her name.But it wasn't Loen language.

Seems to be……

Esther's eyes suddenly came into focus, and she slumped over the edge of several crates, trying to catch her breath, the cold air taking some relief from the burning pain in her chest.

"Are you ok?"

A soft voice sounded, and Esther looked up and found that the speaker was a beautiful woman with youthful appearance but old-fashioned makeup. Her blue eye shadow and blush were rather weird, and her black hair was tied into the same old-fashioned bun. , the black robe on his body was tailored but a bit gloomy.

The woman was stretching out a hand to Esther, and Esther barely stood up with her strength, only to realize that in a panic, she ran back to the door of the bar where she woke up, the "Vulture Bar" Half of the house number is still hanging on it, but a cordon has been pulled up at the entrance of the bar to prevent nearby residents from entering.

But this woman seems to have just come out of it?
"Thank you, I might... I'll be fine if I take it easy." Esther moved her palms, not daring to recall the power she aroused before, and the voice that suddenly appeared in her mind was also very strange.

The woman noticed the way Esther looked at the bar: "Do you have any special impression of this place?"

I woke up here - of course Esther didn't dare to say that, she still didn't know the identity of this woman, especially her strange dress, so Esther would not dare to put down her guard for a while: "It seems like here It's been abandoned for a while."

"Yes, but I heard that there was a wonderful light here, about half a month ago."

Esther's heart skipped a beat, which was the approximate time when she came to this world.

Light?Of course, Esther thought of her outrageous behavior in the alley just now. Is it the power of that little bug?No, no... Esther couldn't speak, her thoughts began to scramble, until she realized that she was still being watched.

The woman kept looking at Esther thoughtfully, and didn't bother the girl with complex emotions.

"Sorry... I don't know." Esther said dryly, and she didn't believe it herself.

Unbelievably, the woman just smiled and patted the head of Esther, who was obviously shorter than her. Her actions gave Esther a strange sense of comfort, and her chilly body quickly warmed up.

Perhaps Esther's expression looked too dull at this time, and the woman was not very relieved of her: "You look frightened, little guy. It's really not safe for you to walk around here alone at this point, and I need my help to send it to you." Are you going home?"

"Thank you, no need. I still know the way to Silin's Bakery. It should be fine."

"That's good, just be careful."

Esther nodded again and again, she glanced at the woman again, then turned and left.

Daly Simone frowned and looked at the "Vulture Bar" sign. The etheric body on the girl's body showed that her mood was fluctuating violently, but she quickly improved after contacting herself.The strangest thing is that when the girl approached, the spirits nearby quickly dissipated. The spirit that Daly was trying to communicate with seemed to have been greatly frightened, and instantly left her sensing range. Where did he go.

A month ago, the owner of the "Vulture Bar" disappeared suddenly. Originally, this was a disappearance case that the local police could hastily settle. I witnessed that one night when the former bartender returned to the bar, the clocks of several houses on this street exploded, and the time stayed at [-]:[-] in the morning.

It is obvious that there are traces of extraordinary power involved, but old Neil's divination has no results, so Dai Li once brought Luo Yao to the vicinity to inquire about the natural spirits that can communicate, but unfortunately there is no trace after tracking the intersection. Others came to the scene to check and did not notice anything unusual.

Because there is no follow-up change in the matter, the energy of the night watchman cannot be placed here for a long time, so in the end the captain can only shelve this incident. Today Daly also walked here twice on a whim before going to the cemetery to dig the grave. Unexpectedly Met such a strange girl.

Daly still had her spirit vision on when she met the girl, and noticed that something was wrong with that girl. The etheric body on her surface was a little too bright, so that people couldn't see her inner astral body clearly, and only faintly revealed it. Among them, the color blocks that intersect like a rainbow are difficult to distinguish.

Could it be that the girl is a hidden wild Extraordinary?
Daly remembered the shop of Silin Bakery, as long as she went there later, she would know if there was anything wrong with the girl.If the girl hasn't left, then you can take the opportunity to get in touch and observe more.If she leaves, Daly can ask the police station to help investigate her background and clues based on her appearance, and even directly issue a wanted warrant.

Especially Daly's spiritual intuition told her that the girl must have something to do with the strange incident in the "Vulture Bar".

-

After Esther returned to Silin Bakery, she didn't mention anything that happened to Wendy and Fiona tonight. She just lied and said that she went out to relax, but she was almost bitten by a wild dog who didn't know, and ran all the way Go around in a big circle and come back now.

Wendy comforted Esther a few words, and let her go to rest earlier.

Esther didn't have the heart to study any new bread or pastry, she returned to her exclusive small attic after taking care of it.

Beside the narrow window sill, there was a bunch of handkerchiefs folded, the middle of which was sunken, forming a very simple nest.Esther took the little bug out of her pocket, put it in the nest, and stared at it with complicated eyes.

"What is that power?"

"I don't guess, I don't need to guess. The power to steal comes from you, but that kind of light comes from myself, I can be sure of that."

"This is not ridiculous confidence. The superpowers in this world hide huge secrets. I mean extraordinary power. It cannot appear out of thin air. I have such a perception."

"You're right. I can't prove whether these cognitions are my imagination. I should find someone with similar power to me."

"...I feel like you are playing with me. Why are you talking ironically now? Isn't that what I meant just now!"

"What do you call this? Thief? It doesn't sound like a good person. Is this what your extraordinary power is called?"

Esther felt the disdain from the little bug, and couldn't help but sigh: "I really don't like this kind of ability. People who steal everything will one day find that nothing belongs to them."

So her mentor Chongchong played a little temper, circled into a ball and pretended to go into hibernation, and refused to talk to Esther again, ending this extremely rare conversation between the two.

This is the first time that Esther communicated so much with this little bug. It used to be more bored and disdainful towards Esther. It seemed to be surprised by Esther's ability, so it had something to do with Esther. communicated, and demonstrated a certain extraordinary knowledge base.However, Xiao Chongzi's character in the dialogue is very embarrassing, and the words are full of teasing viciousness inside and outside, which makes Esther very headache, and I don't know if I can believe it.

It's not a bad thing, so let's take it as a good thing. Esther is actually very happy, because this little bug is the first person she communicates with after she becomes conscious. Now that she can learn more about it, Esther feels an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

But it wasn't until she was lying in bed that Esther realized that the little bug didn't explain what the power hidden in her was at all, and the topic was just perfunctory.

The next morning, Esther was busy with Fiona in the back kitchen. After she finished kneading a new batch of cute animal-shaped bread dough, Wendy suddenly came in and called Esther out.

Esther simply wiped her hands, hurried to the shop, and met someone who surprised her.

"You are that, ah, that lady from yesterday, good morning." Only then did Esther realize that she didn't know the other person's name.

"Daily Simone, hello, little guy." This lady is wearing a black veil today and a black robe similar to yesterday's style. With her attire, it is not against the law to show up at the cemetery at any time to attend the funeral feel.

It can be a little scary in the middle of the night.

"Hello! Just call me Esther," Esther habitually put on a business smile, "Does Ms. Simone want to buy anything?"

Daly looked at the cute cat black bread and rabbit white bread in the window with great interest: "You can call me Dali, it's a courtesy. Is this a feature of your store? It's cute."

Wendy patted Esther's shoulder very proudly: "It was designed by the 'little guy', isn't it amazing? She learns everything very quickly, a very smart child."

Esther blushed, and her smile became more sincere: "Don't exaggerate, Grandma Wendy."

"Have you ever thought about releasing this design? If this kind of dessert can appear at the tea party of ladies and ladies, it will definitely be very popular."

Wendy was a little confused: "Oh, we're not sure about this... We may not be able to do such a big business."

Esther: "I just want to help Grandma Wendy. I probably don't have the intention to be a private chef. I still have a lot to learn."

Daly didn't insist: "That's not bad, I will come to patronize more in the future, it would be even better if there are cakes in the future."

"Of course! I will definitely think about it when I learn how to bake cakes with Grandma Wendy and Fiona!"

"Then help me call a piece of black cat bread, two pieces of white rabbit bread, and this Tingen cake I heard is a specialty of the store?"

Under Wendy's gaze, Esther immediately picked up what Daly wanted to buy and put it in the paper bag for packing: "Okay, I'll pack it for you! Can I use the paper bag in the store?"

Daly nodded, and quickly left Silin Bakery after paying the money.

Esther returned to the back kitchen, and was in a particularly good mood because of Daly's praise. She unconsciously hummed a tune, all of which Fiona had never heard before.

Life always seems to get better, doesn't it?
