Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 8 Weird

No matter what happened in the night, the sun will not stop to praise itself. When a new day comes, people will not care what the voice they heard last night represents.

But Wendy woke up early, but did not see Esther. She searched for the girl for a long time but did not reply.Until someone knocked on the front door of the bakery, Wendy went to check anxiously, and found that there were two police officers standing at the door. She didn't recognize those official titles or badges, but she had known the middle-aged man for many years, and Wendy took over as her husband. It was Pandey, a patrolman from the nearby police station.

"Mr. Pandey, what's the matter?"

"There was a murder case in the back street last night. We heard that Miss Esther lives here, so we came to inform you."

Wendy let out a distressed scream: "What!? Esther's child actually—oh, my God! Goddess! How could this happen!"

The handsome green-eyed young man standing behind Pandey hurriedly said, "No, she is alive and well! She just suffered some injuries. She was taken to the church for treatment and may have to recuperate there for a while."

It was only then that Pan Di realized that what he said was inappropriate, so he simply handed over the rest of the communication to this young man. He was originally dull and not very good at comforting others.

Wendy, who was so frightened by the ups and downs, wiped her tears, pulled the young man's sleeves, and told him over and over again that "poor Esther is a good boy", "you must help her", "the goddess will bless her", Words like these made the young man almost cry along with her.

Because when he went out this morning, the "poor Esther" who had just woken up was drinking the hot cocoa Daly made for her with a blissful face. He ignored the old man's voice that kept him alert.

She's fine except for a sprained ankle!Old Neil finished applying the medicine last night and was almost healed this morning!
After appeasing Wendy's emotions, the young man glanced regretfully at the shop. This is the bakery that Ms. Daly often visited, and he followed him twice.It's a pity that I came too early today, and there is nothing baked in the shop. Otherwise, it would be nice to take some croquettes or butterfingers back home and share with everyone.

In the basement of the Blackthorn Security Company, Esther was holding Old Neil's coffee cup, but it was filled with her favorite hot cocoa. of dopamine.

She basked in the simple sensual beauty of this.

Ms. Daly went home to sort things out. There was a telegram from the church. Next week, a senior deacon will come to inspect all aspects of Daly's promotion and check the seal of Tingen's Chanis Gate. This is the beginning of spring every year. Of course, there are so many sealed items that need to be extra cautious.

Afterwards, the senior deacon will take Daly to the church in Backlund for further training. After all, young people can be promoted so quickly, and their talents must be quite good. The church is very optimistic about Daly's future.

Old Neil was flipping through two books, and after Esther looked around the room twice, her eyes pierced through, staring blankly behind Old Neil, even though there was nothing there.

However, such a strange gaze made Old Neil think that Esther was too boring: "Little girl, do you know how to read? If you have nothing to do, I can read a book for you. Leonard seems to have a few poetry collections left on me." Here it is."

But Esther asked other questions: "Old man, what exactly does this security company do?"

Old Neil looked at Esther gently: "I heard Daly say that you met a murderous monster last night, didn't you?"

Esther nodded, and listened to Old Neil's statement: "There will be one such monster, and there will be two, and the Blackthorn Security Company exists for this purpose, to maintain law and order, and to help people involved in dangerous incidents .”

"Ms. Daly has been doing such dangerous things..."

Esther frowned. She originally thought that Ms. Daly would be a fashion designer or artist, after all, her dressing style was so unique, but Esther never thought that Daly would be such a hero in the dark , someone like X Tan Yijing somewhere.

"After all, someone has to do these things, and most of them have experienced extraordinary events, like you, and then decided to help more people maintain peaceful lives."

Esther hesitated for a few seconds, and Old Neil waited quietly for her words, but he didn't think that the girl would almost make him spit out the coffee as soon as she opened her mouth: "Then why not let everyone have special power? That way everyone capable of self-defense."

"Ahem... that will cause an extremely terrifying war! Not everyone has good intentions, and extraordinary power has huge hidden dangers."

"That's right." Esther rubbed the center of her right eyebrow blankly, not knowing why she asked such a stupid question just now, "Even with extraordinary power, there must be things that cannot be done? For example, resurrection or something."

Old Neil stared at her for a moment, and then returned to normal: "I don't know about this, maybe some high-sequences have relevant secrets. After all, Tingen is a small place, and my I'm still a Sequence Nine when I'm old, hey, don't count on it."

Esther turned the topic back: "Then can I join?"

"It's not a good thing, kid," Old Neil put down his coffee cup with a wry smile, shaking the muddy liquid in the cup, "Although I want to tell you more stories, it's not about a prince and princess defeating a dragon. fairy tale."

"I know, I saw the man who looked like a monster last night. Is that also the price of power? From human to that."

"You are very sharp and smart. Even if you don't become an Extraordinary, you will definitely be able to live a good life. You may think that I am scaring you, but the monster you see is actually the true face of the Extraordinary, terrifying and ferocious. To be honest , I have seen many people in my life who worked very hard to survive, but in the face of extraordinary power, human beings seem so insignificant that they cannot save themselves."

Whether it is the victim, the innocent or the perpetrator.

Esther was silent for several minutes, playing with the hem of her clothes, the last sip of cocoa in her cup was already cold, she poured it down her throat, feeling the stickiness that could not be melted away.

"I don't know if I'm already a Extraordinary."

Esther spoke softly, curled up uncomfortably in the chair, like a snail shrunk into its shell.

Old Neil's eyes widened, and he tapped his brows with his fingers: "Oh, is it true? Then we have to tell the captain later... Did you drink anything last night?"

"No, I shouldn't have obtained extraordinary power last night, I have lost my memory."

Old Neil had activated his spirit vision just now, and carefully observed Esther's astral body. There seemed to be nothing wrong with her. Her emotional tone was dark blue thinking, and she looked a little melancholy, mixed with a bit of indifferent purple tone. .Judging from her mood swings that Esther was telling the truth, Old Neil sighed, and tapped the space between his brows to turn off his spirit vision.

"Then what exactly is your ability? You can describe it, and I can recall if there is any relevant information."

Esther told some truths with some reservations: "My fingers are very nimble, and I can grasp small things like blades very well. My agility and reaction seem to be faster than ordinary people, and my learning ability seems to be the same? And there is..."

Esther glanced at Old Neil: "It's easier for me to win people's trust, and I can easily gain trust, especially when the other party is unsuspecting."

Old Neil's complexion was not very good, but he still maintained a gentle smile: "Well, these sound like very special abilities. They really look like some Extraordinary people. I have to tell the captain."

Both Daly and Captain Dunn had contact with Esther, didn't they notice anything unusual?Old Neil didn't think that this girl who directly exposed her abilities would have the energy to deceive everyone, she didn't look like that kind of person...

Old Neil thought of this possibility, but he dismissed the idea before he felt chills behind his back: just talking about it, Old Neil can basically see Esther's character, this is just a thought How could a simple and detached girl be able to easily deceive the captain and the others.

I heard from Daly that she had been observing Esther for a while, but she didn't notice any abnormal movements in her. It was probably just that she was involved in something without knowing it, and she became an extraordinary person without her knowing it. who.

Need to check the information.

After making a decision, Old Neil asked Esther to wait here for a while, and he went to talk to the captain.

But when Old Neil walked into Dunn's office, he saw that the captain was receiving the church's telegram with a serious face. This wasn't even a telegram from the Backlund church. His brows were tightly frowned, full of surprise.

Before Old Neil could speak, Dunn immediately asked, "Esther is still in the reception room?"

"Yes, Esther mentioned in the chat with me just now that she seems to have mastered extraordinary abilities, so..."

Dunn quickly glanced at the paper in his hand again to confirm that he had read the instruction correctly: "I'll follow you right away, the Holy Church has asked us to imprison her directly behind the Chanis Gate."

Old Neil's eyes widened: "Take her—she didn't show any danger to anyone! Esther is even just a minor child! She even told me about her extraordinary abilities..."

Old Neil's voice gradually dropped.

Dunn stared at Old Neil for a few seconds: "Old Neil, think about it carefully, has she already affected you?"

The chill that had been suppressed by "trust" just came out in an instant. Old Neil had been a voyeur for so many years, how could he not know how easy it is for an Extraordinary to pretend to be himself? His personality was confused, and he even subconsciously wanted to intercede for her! ?
The more old Neil thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he nodded vigorously.

Dunn rubbed his forehead in distress: "It seems that it is true, Daly asked me to reduce direct contact with her so that Esther can rest more, it is probably because Daly's spiritual intuition is guiding her to say so. "

"There's something wrong with Esther."
