Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 97
When the crimson moon was setting in the sky and the sun was rising again, Esther told Xiaoqi: "You should leave."

Xiaoqi didn't speak, just stared at him quietly with black eyes, Esther could never see clearly what emotion was hidden in it, so she repeated what she said just now.

Xiao Qi shook her head, nagging her wings wrapped in white bandages twice.

Esther's expression didn't change at all, and her gentle smile was more like a mask, covering her dull emotions: "Your wings are almost healed. You are not an ordinary animal. Last night those more They are acting for me, trying to win my sympathy."

After a pause, Esther stretched out her fingers and stroked Xiao Qi's head: "I have to admit, you have been very successful in this."

"Then why are you rushing..." Before Xiaoqi could finish her feigned aggrieved words, Esther interrupted her directly.

"Because your state is not right, Xiaoqi. Did the existence you contacted really not do anything to you?"

Xiao Qi suddenly jumped back, his eyes widened: "What are you talking about? How could I be—"

The voice stopped abruptly, and Xiaoqi shook his head blankly. After quickly recalling the experiences of the past few days, he suddenly realized that his state was too indifferent last night.During the conversation, it unconsciously prodded Esther with an overly blunt tone.

This is contrary to its original intention.

With the eloquence that a "fraudster" should have, he should have told Esther those things in a gentler and more tactful way...

Xiao Wu raised his body from the coffee table next to him with a funny face: "Even if you were really planted a 'psychological suggestion' by him in person, you would not notice it at all with your current sequence. As I said, you are not special, Your appearance will only arouse his warning."

Xiao Qi rolled her eyes and nodded at Esther: "If that's the case, how much of what He asked me to pass on yesterday is true may have yet to be verified."

Esther didn't answer, she silently pulled out a hair and wrapped it around Xiaoqi's paw.

Xiao Qi rubbed her beak against her fingers, and said softly, "I'm leaving now, you'd better change places as soon as possible, I'm worried that he will follow."

Until Xiao Qi flew out of the window, and his black feathers could no longer be seen through the square glass, Esther sat back in the armchair, resting her chin in thought.

Xiao Wu asked her suspiciously, "Aren't you going?"

"If the 'He' you are talking about really knows so much about 'Zoya''s past, why should I leave?" Esther's voice was still so gentle, "I can ask in person if there is anything I can do. The solution to this situation."

Then why did you chase Xiaoqi away again?Want to protect him?Xiao Wu sneered in his heart, on the surface he only denied Esther's idea: "That's impossible, you can't not pay the price."

Of course Esther knew this, but what could she do?Could it be possible to pray to the "fool" who inspired her spiritual intuition?

The moment this idea popped up, the light that was "buzzing" in the depths of Esther's mind, making noise all night, suddenly stopped moving.The feeling of silence in her head made Esther pat her forehead in surprise, as if hitting an old TV with a bad signal.

What does it mean to play dead again when there is really no sound?Let me decide?
Esther's originally gloomy vision gradually became clearer. She gritted her teeth and made up her mind. She looked at Xiao Wu on the coffee table: "I've thought about it, I'd better go out for a few days."

Xiao Wu rolled up casually: "Do whatever you want, anyway, I can only follow you."

-

Esther went to the North District this time. It is not difficult to find a hotel here. Although the price is much more expensive, the decoration and facilities are much better than the cheap hotels on the banks of the Tussock River.She chose to stay here for two days because the headquarters of the Evernight Goddess Church in the Backlund Diocese, St. Samuel's Church is in the North District.

Whether it's the "he" that Xiaoqi provoked who wants to arrest people, or because Esther is about to pray to the "fool" and may get into trouble, acting near the Church of Evernight may be able to seek the goddess' help in times of crisis. bless.If the spot of light changes, Esther would rather send herself to the hands of the Nighthawks than let the consciousness occupying her body flow outside.

At least according to Heiye's previous attitude, He is still relatively friendly, or the ability that exists in Esther is also very helpful to Him. Heiye will not hurt her, but I am afraid that he will not actively help her, at most Let Esther enter Chanis Gate to live in confinement.

Esther rubbed the center of her right eyebrow vigorously, and sneered at her negative attitude.

Esther would really like to give it to someone else if she could give away this fate of blessing and misfortune.

Let Xiao Wu fall into a steady sleep after the light spot strengthened the seal, Esther looked around the bright and spacious bedroom, and finally decided to go to the more private bathroom.

She always felt that praying to an unknown being was shady, so she didn't recite the honorable name directly in the bedroom, and Esther didn't use light spots to decorate the partition, she was worried that her prayer might not be conveyed.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the ritual magic of other Extraordinary people can recite the names of gods and pray to them for power.Why doesn't Captain Dunn let me touch these things?
Esther looked at the mirror in the bathroom and touched her forehead, as if she had guessed some possibilities.

The night knows, which means the church knows, if I communicate with the spirit world, it will be easier to attract the existence in my mind?This feeling of having something else XZ in my body is unsettling.

It was with this uneasiness that Esther spoke softly in the giant language: "The mysterious ruler above the gray mist, the yellow and black king in charge of good luck, the fool who does not belong to this era..."

Then she choked, she didn't even think about what to say next, but to Esther's relief, she didn't receive any feedback. If it was correct, her spiritual intuition should have responded to it to some extent.

At that time, the three-segment esteemed name uttered by the person who was looking for clues was in this order. Perhaps it was because there was a problem with this order. The other party wanted to avoid the possibility of inducing this existence, so they deliberately disrupted the esteemed name.

After thinking for a while, Esther changed the position of these three paragraphs, knelt down on the ground with her head down, clasped her fingers together, and whispered again in the giant language:

"The fool who does not belong to this age,
The mysterious ruler above the gray mist,
The Yellow and Black King of Good Luck..."

Just after reciting the honorable name, Esther felt an indescribable fear, not from the outside, but the light in her mind, she couldn't even tell who was feeling the fear, she just felt screaming A humming sound erupted from the inside of her head, like a frantic swarm of bees entering and exiting her right ear.

In just an instant, hot and humid blood dripped from her nose, and the light spots in Esther's hair exploded like fireworks, making her instantly silver-haired. After those light spots left, they floated quietly here. In the bathroom, motionless.

The more violent humming sound hit Esther's nerves one after another, mixed with ravings that made her want to scream madly. This kind of torture was not aimed at her body, but her soul.

The real world around her seems to be slowly disintegrating, or is it her body that is disintegrating?
Esther was right, her prayer to this "fool" would indeed cause abnormalities, and this was the backlash she triggered.

Trembling all over, Esther spit out every sentence intermittently:

"I beseech you, watch,
I beseech you, your gifts and powers,

Pray for a way to counter the ancient existence in me..."

Two lines of blood and tears slid down the cheeks, and spider web-like cracks spread from Esther's forehead, quickly spreading to her whole body, which made Esther look like a sculpture that was about to be shattered.

Those fine cracks didn't flow out any blood, but twisted to form many chaotic, intertwined, overlapping symbols and circles.In the deepest part of the crack, within the fine net woven by the light yellow light, there is faintly shimmering light that resembles the flow of mercury.

Such a drastic and weird change gave Esther, who was in extreme pain, a glimmer of hope.
