Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 70

Esther walked up to the sixth floor. The end of the corridor here is not like other floors where there are green plants. There is only an empty ceramic vase placed directly under the window.The sky outside the window has gradually darkened, and you can catch a glimpse of the orange-purple sunset glow in the distance, and the last afterglow shines through the foggy dust.

When Esther pointed the key at the doorknob, she felt a silent sight, and she subconsciously looked towards the door of [-] across the corridor.

It was pitch black in the crack of the door, and the owner of the house closed all the curtains, only one red bloodshot eye protruded from the crack of the door, wide open in the blurred yellow of the corridor, staring at Esther.

Then the door was slowly closed, and the bloodshot and crazy eye disappeared behind the crack, as if it had never appeared before, and it was just Esther's short hallucination.

The horrifying chill behind Esther quickly subsided, but her spiritual intuition remained silent, as if she didn't take this look seriously at all.

Esther turned the doorknob and walked into No. [-]. While her heart beat faster, she was also analyzing the situation quickly. Since there was no warning in the perception in her mind, even if there was a threat from the other party, it would be very small.And Mrs. Romano allowed him to live here, perhaps because someone else made a guarantee for him behind this man.Esther sensed the fluctuations coming from his room, which was obviously some kind of extraordinary power.

Backlund's Extraordinary seems to be much more unusual, and I am afraid that throwing a brick casually can hit both of them.

But that Rich is really unreliable. Is this what he said about the gentleman from [-] next door with a "very gentle personality"?
If the gentleman on the other side really has a big problem, Esther is also capable of "solving disputes". Whether she is arrogant or sincere, she has a high level of trust in her spiritual intuition.

Esther shook her head and looked at the room that would belong to her in the next two weeks. At least she couldn't move out until she had accumulated enough funds. Mrs. Romano's contract was non-refundable.

As soon as she stepped into the house, Esther locked the door behind her back.

The room is much more spacious than Esther imagined. The layout inside is simple and clean. There is a landscape oil painting hanging on the whitewashed walls. There is a half-length mirror by the door. The emerald green bamboo-colored bed is facing the window. Large clusters of rhododendrons are embroidered on the pillowcases, and the room is furnished with double-door wardrobes, a writing desk and wooden chairs, a low table with an area of ​​one square meter, and a low sofa.Because all the light-colored furniture is placed in the room, the atmosphere of the whole room appears light and bright.

Esther passed by the half-length mirror, and was surprised to find that her face seemed to have grown by two years, completely getting rid of the immaturity of the Tingen period, but her size... seemed to have not changed at all.

Walking to the window facing Lily of the Valley Street in front, Esther can see pedestrians strolling on the street from a bird's-eye view. Most of them are walking towards home with the exhaustion of the day, and there are also couples or parents holding hands , a peaceful scene.

A carriage passed the middle of the wide road, and the hooves kicked forward.

Xiao Wu in the pocket twisted her body, and Esther reached out and took it out.

"What about that guy?"

"Going away. After I mentioned that I don't know which sentence."

Xiao Wu shook his head: "What did you say at that time?"

Esther repeated the topic at the time, talking about the silver-haired youth and the glowing skylark.

Xiao Wu was also silent for a moment, but he didn't say anything. He just said "I have to sleep a little longer" and got together again.Esther couldn't judge from a translucent bug whether it was really sleeping, so she could only put Xiao Wu back in the coat pocket, took off the coat and hung it on the back of the chair.

She herself sat on the low sofa, gently rubbing the center of her right eyebrow, thinking about what to do next.There are still a lot of things to buy, not to mention that three meals a day are expenses. She may consider resuming her job as a baking assistant. There are many shops on this street.

Esther is still depressed because of Xiaoqi's sudden departure.

The night came into the house from the sky, casting more shadows on Esther's face, and the road outside was brighter than the house because of the street lights.

"Knock, knock."

Someone is knocking on the door.This made Esther, who was dozing off with her eyes closed, wake up suddenly. She didn't pay attention to the footsteps outside the door at all, but didn't notice until the other party knocked on the door.

what happened?Are my senses diminished?

But Esther immediately got up and opened the door, and there was a man with brown-blond hair standing outside the door: he was not tall, wearing a loose vertical striped shirt and loose linen pants, with a conspicuous blush on his cheeks , his thin lips were pursed into a line because of nervousness, and the sea-blue eyes on the corners of his eyes were delicate and soft, and the crazy and horrifying glance from the crack of the door seemed to be two people.

"Hi, I'm your neighbor."

"good evening."

Esther's greeting was not very enthusiastic, the man certainly felt this, he showed a friendly smile with an apology, his body naturally exuded a refined temperament, which made his originally delicate appearance more attractive: "I'm Norn Murphy who lives in [-], nice to meet you."

"Luna Duboa, just call me Luna."

"Ah yes, you can also call me Norn. Before, it was at that time..." The gentleman mustered up a lot of courage before he continued, "Sometimes I appear very irritable, because some children They are such a pain in the ass. By the way, I am a teacher at the Espery Public Primary School in the East End. I am sorry to have surprised you."

Esther also laughed: "I didn't see it very clearly at the time. I thought it was my eyesight. Fortunately, I am more courageous."

Although the fact is that I have no money to live elsewhere.

"But I'm still sorry, because I heard from Rich that you didn't leave after you went upstairs in the afternoon, so I bought a dinner on my own initiative, and this is my apology."

Nuoen raised his hand and handed the two paper bags he was carrying to Esther. Esther hesitated for a moment, took one and returned the other to Nuoen: "Thank you for your thoughtfulness, but I can't eat so much, you better keep this."

Esther did not refuse the offer, and she did not know how long she would live in Lily of the Valley Street, and she also hoped to maintain a good relationship with other people.

"I'm also glad you didn't ask." Norn was surprised that Esther accepted part of it. He was still worried about being hostile by this new neighbor, but he didn't expect her to be so easy-going. "I didn't have class this afternoon. Catch up on sleep, those kids are always worrying, I might have looked haggard then..."

Esther twitched the corners of her mouth: "I can probably understand you. Of course, it is easy to become irritable if you don't get enough sleep when you are weak."

"It's great that you understand. I'm going back to the room first. You just arrived here today, so you should also have a good rest." Nuoen heaved a sigh of relief and said goodbye directly. His knuckles on the paper bag turned white, as if for Talking to Esther was nervous.

After closing and locking the door again, Esther sat on the sofa and opened the paper bag, and took out two jam sandwiches, a pastry croissant, and a small jug of milk.

Mr. Norn is quite confident, and the contents of the other paper bag should be similar.

Esther closed her eyes and felt in her mind for a moment, confirming that these things were not dangerous, she ate the croissant and milk first, leaving a jam sandwich, which could be saved for breakfast tomorrow morning.

Norn Murphy, is he a wild Extraordinary?

Esther was lazily chewing the sandwich, Xiao Wu basically ignored her, and Xiao Qi walked so resolutely that she didn't even have anyone around her who could discuss these matters.

And why is he so nervous?Can he perceive that I am a Extraordinary?

When I went upstairs, I tried my best not to make a sound, and he didn't peek at me as soon as I went upstairs, but when I opened the door.

Esther shook the empty milk jug, and carefully sensed the gradually humming sound in her mind. A few light spots fell from her hair, randomly scattered in the room, and disappeared into every corner.
