Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Not long after, the young man returned to the prayer hall with Father Utravsky.

Esther sat on the front bench with a gloomy face, staring at the Holy Emblem of Life in a daze. Her fingers kept moving back and forth, spreading them out, and twisting them together unconsciously.

"It's a pleasure to meet you in the Church of the Mother God, what can you do for me?"

Esther turned her head and noticed that the chaos in Father Utravsky's eyes had dissipated. His eyes were clear and bright, with a gentleness that embraced everything. The simple nightgown on his body did not affect his compassionate temperament at all. , it seemed that what was bothering him mentally had been resolved.

Esther showed a wry smile: "Father Utravsky, there is a hidden believer in the apartment on Lily of the Valley Street. He seems to believe in an evil god called 'True Creator'."

The young man rolled his eyes in surprise, as if he didn't expect Esther to reveal such a shocking news as soon as he opened his mouth. His curious eyes turned back and forth between the two, not knowing that the apartment was related to Utraves. What's the matter with Father Key?

Father Utravsky also showed a little surprise: "Are you a new resident of Apartment No. [-]? Emlyn, please avoid it for a moment. I think the content of her next conversation is not suitable for a third party to know."

The young man called "Emlyn" pinched his nose again, muttered "I'm not interested" and walked towards the corridor leading to the back of the church with a face full of disappointment.

Sure enough, Father Utravsky had forgotten me, Esther sighed inwardly.

"If you mean Norn Murphy, you don't need to worry too much. Although we didn't communicate much after Mrs. Romanov left the church, she will inform me about such urgent matters. Mr. Murphy is An informant from the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery."

The answer was beyond Esther's imagination: "Informant?"

Father Utravsky nodded: "He obtained the mysterious power in the accident of losing a loved one."

"I know, Extraordinary. We can talk calmly."

"Now that you know me, I won't avoid it. He and his parents are both loyal believers in the Church of Steam and Machinery, so he immediately sought help from the Church. Given that his extraordinary path is very special, Norn Murphy It took a long time of self-discipline to suppress the madness."

Esther was digesting these things she had never known, and it was hard to imagine that "Mr. Teacher", who was usually shy and reserved and had a very good smile, had actually experienced such a thing.She associated all this with the existence of Mr. A: "Then he joined that mysterious organization? Going undercover?"

"Yes."

Esther rubbed the center of her right eyebrow, feeling a headache for such a development: "But is it possible, that is, his condition..."

"Perhaps you have seen a man wearing a mask in the apartment. He doesn't usually live there, but he checks Mr. Murphy's mental condition every two weeks."

Esther immediately remembered the mysterious man in the coffee-colored windbreaker, whose eagle-like eyes left a deep impression on her.

Father Utravsky continued: "Before he moved to the apartment on Lily of the Valley Street, he had become an informant, and he has been working as an informant for more than three years without any problems."

"He is the 'listener' now, Father Utravsky, he is Sequence Eight."

Father Utravsky frowned immediately: "This is really not right. He didn't intend to be promoted at all. Once people in that sequence seek to be promoted, they will have too close a connection with their evil god."

Esther just smiled wryly and turned to the front of the prayer hall, without speaking.

Father Utravsky quickly made up his mind: "I will go with you to Apartment No. [-] to protect you. You must inform Mrs. Romanov of this matter as soon as possible and ask her to notify the 'Mechanical Heart'. If you wish to leave me on your own I won't stop you, after all, you don't look like an officially named Beyonder."

Esther touched the holy emblem of the night in her arms, which should be able to cope with the interrogation of other official Extraordinary, and at worst would be taken back by the night.So she shook her head: "Don't worry about me, I can only be considered a half-wild Extraordinary."

"Emlyn!"

Father Utravsky turned his head and shouted, and the blood-born youth came out from the corner of the corridor immediately. It was obvious that he had been hiding in the shadows and eavesdropping.

The young man who was exposed was not too shy, and shook his head very coolly: "Hey, I didn't hear anything!"

"I will accompany this lady to Lily of the Valley Street, and the church will be handed over to you. Don't worry, I will be back soon."

The young man showed joy, nodded repeatedly, and cheerfully sent Father Utravsky and Esther away from the Harvest Church after changing their clothes.

This should be a good time for him to escape!

But when the young man looked around the empty chapel, even without Father Utravsky, he hesitated.Originally, he was only afraid of the power of the priest, but now he was alone, and the young man felt that his urge to leave the Mother Earth Church was not so strong.

It's over, that priest must have planted a psychological hint on me, am I going to be unable to get out for the rest of my life...

The young man tugged at the hem of the priest's uniform, sat dejectedly on the pews in the last row, and honestly guarded the church for Father Utravsky.

"When will this suffocating life end! I really want to go home and miss my babies..."

-

Lily of the Valley Street was not far away. Father Utravsky and Esther walked fast, because there were hardly any pedestrians on the street, so they let go of their speed a little.

Esther was very grateful to Father Utravsky for not asking about the details of what happened. Now when she thinks about that scene, she feels uncomfortable all over.

Apartment No. [-] was silent, as if its residents, like the residents in other nearby buildings, turned off the lights early and went to sleep. so lonely.

"I'll go to the second floor to find Mrs. Romanov first, do you want to come with me?"

Esther shook her head: "I'll just wait for you here."

Father Utravsky had no objection, he walked into the door of the apartment, leaving Esther outside alone.

Esther didn't really want to go in, she was worried about seeing other people in the apartment, Esther couldn't explain her experience and fear to them - everyone should be just ordinary people, and they don't belong to the world of Extraordinary.

Knowing more would only put them in danger too, and Esther didn't want that to happen.

But soon she couldn't bear it any longer. In the closed window of [-], something hit the glass with a "bang".

Esther took two steps back, squinting her eyes, a few spots of light floated on her hair, but that part of the room didn't respond, she couldn't sense the situation inside, someone was inside, and she was using some kind of Means to isolate the inside and outside of the house.

The vague shadow by the window spread its wings, but because the window was closed tightly, it could not escape, so it could only flash to the other side.

A black feather fluttered from its body, disappearing at the edge of the window.

It was a crow.
