Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 131 The Predicament of "The Sun"
Monday, December 27.

Not long after noon, Esther returned to the Kroger Hotel. She extended her stay here two days ago, which made the proprietress very happy.

Xiaoqi was still in the house, flipping through the few newspapers that Esther had saved in the past few days, and didn't know what it was looking for.

"You came back early."

"It's too cold, it really makes people don't want to move around more, come back early to rest." Esther rubbed her face vigorously, feeling her cheeks were so stiff that she could hardly smile anymore, she added good food to the fireplace A few pieces of smokeless charcoal will make the house even warmer.

Xiao Qi flew up from those newspapers, and landed back on the "throne" it made of padded cushions: "I thought you would like winter."

"I like snow, and it doesn't snow in Backlund. Moreover, once it rains here, the moisture will penetrate beneath the skin, which is very uncomfortable."

Gossiping until the afternoon, Esther walked into the bathroom near three o'clock.

After closing the door, the light spots above her head flew out in an instant, covering and sealing the room everywhere, isolating the induction from the outside world.

Today is the day when the Tarot Society is held again, and Esther hums a song that she can't remember the name of, waiting for the call of "The Fool".

Soon, the gentle light overwhelmed her, and Esther had gotten used to this color, and even felt it was very kind.

She didn't notice it herself.

The light faded, and the solemn long bronze table and members of the Tarot Society appeared before the eyes. The "Fool" was hidden behind the gray mist, with an unknown expression.

But what started today was not Miss Justice's brisk and sweet greeting. Esther also noticed the nervousness and shock of "Sun". Even if Esther was not an "audience", the anxiety of "Sun" was completely exposed On it, everyone can see clearly.

"Justice" immediately asked: "Mr. Sun, what happened? The exploration of the truth, uh, the operation of the Temple of the Fallen Creator did not go well?"

The "Sun" eagerly told all the members of the Tarot Society present. Their exploration team was in the ruins of the temple, and they kept falling into repeated lives. However, the "Sun" did not recover until they climbed the gray fog. Memories of that time.

For this reason, he stood up and solemnly saluted the "Fool" above him. He was very grateful for Mr. "Fool"'s reminder, only then did he realize that he and the others had stepped into a trap.

"The Fool" nodded, His majestic and mysterious posture made everyone below dare not peep.

Immediately afterwards, the "sun" turned to the "lover" at the end of the table, and looked in Esther's direction: "Miss 'lover', do you have any way to break this cycle?"

This is exactly what Esther specifically reminded "The Sun" last time, and it is obviously the ability of "Tail Swallower" to launch a "cycle" in time and space.

Although Esther herself has similar extraordinary powers, she has never used such a "cycle" in front of other people. After thinking for a few seconds, Esther gave only a vague answer: "I'm not sure The source of the 'loop' you're in right now might be clearly captured if I'd been there, but now... more information might be needed. But I'm pretty sure it wasn't Tail Eater himself there, It should be only a small amount of power left by him, otherwise you may have been in danger long ago. Your time and space are constantly being reset during this journey, and you may be able to find clues related to the 'Tail Swallower' to break the situation."

"Sun" kept this point in his heart, and nodded vigorously: "I see! Thank you for your proposal, I will try to remind the chief, and find a way to break this 'circle'."

"The Hanged Man" raised his hand: "You just said that the little boy was called 'Jack'? I once hunted down a 'listener' of the Aurora Order at sea. Jack and the child brought by that man were close in age, and you The description also fits."

The "sun" looked at the "hanged man" in astonishment, and Esther could feel the joy and shock coming from him. Since the boy named Jack came from the outside world, it means that the place where the "sun" is not completely Isolated and sealed.According to these Tarot Club discussions, Esther has been convinced that the "sun" is in another continent. It is a place where there is no sun, only thunderstorms, and monsters are rampant in the dark.

When the "Sun" asked about this in surprise, "The Hanged Man" did not give a clear answer: "I can only say that there is a possibility."

Finally, "The Hanged Man" suggested that "The Sun" test the boy Jack in private, and asked him to visualize what he saw and heard, so that everyone could analyze the process for him.

Esther's fingers unconsciously drew circles on her knees. She guessed that the "Hanged Man" wanted to collect more relevant information, but everyone present was very curious about this matter and turned to the head seat one after another. Mr. Fool.

"The Sun" immediately asked: "Mr. Fool, can I show my experience?"

"can."

The voice of "The Fool" didn't fluctuate much, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he didn't care about such trivial matters. This was just an insignificant part of His mighty power.

Soon, Esther and the others saw the picture imagined by "The Sun". With the help of "The Fool", those horrifying and eerie scenes or experiences were presented to everyone one by one, allowing others to understand this scene. The strange situation of this distant continent has a more intuitive understanding.

Esther stared at the ruins of the destroyed buildings in a daze. The ancient temples propped up by those stone pillars were inexplicably familiar, which made her lean forward in a daze.But those scenes were nothing but virtual images displayed by the "sun", and they couldn't be touched even if they got close. Esther's brows became tighter and tighter.

"The Fool" noticed the strangeness of "Lover" with his sight hidden behind the gray fog, but he would not make any movements. "World" changed his sitting position and made a little movement, which made Esther glance at him subconsciously. I just came back to my senses.

Since everyone else was focused on the scenes in those pictures, only "Justice" noticed that "The World" seemed to be moving a little bit, and wondered if he knew something.

At the request of the "Hanged Man", the "Sun" enlarged the mural of the "Fallen Creator" against the "Six Great Evil Gods" on the long bronze table so that everyone could see it clearly.

In fact, the scenes that the "Sun" saw in the temple made Esther feel inexplicably familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before.

"Which evil gods are these?" "The Hanged Man" asked, staring at one of the octopus-headed monsters surrounded by lightning and black waves.

"Sun" shook his head: "I don't know, I thought you would know each other."

Esther glanced over the appearances of those "evil gods", especially the black classic long dress dotted with stars. The woman's face was blurred, which was very similar to the sense of secrecy shrouded in black veil , the surging darkness around her also allowed Esther to instantly confirm the connection, excluding those deliberately strange eyes and distorted ripples on the face...

It should be "Dark Night".

If one can be identified, the identities of the others will be revealed.

While the others were staring blankly, Esther suddenly raised her hand. Her voice was very soft, because she was not sure how other Tarot Society members would react, and she was afraid of offending them: "Maybe I know, I am Say, I can guess some."

"Miss Lover, do you have any idea?" "Justice" asked curiously.

Esther nodded with difficulty: "If my thoughts are correct, these are the six righteous gods..."

Both "Justice" and "Magician" took a breath, and looked at the terrifying monster shown in the mural in disbelief, feeling terrified in their hearts.

This is simply blasphemy!
The shoulders of "The Hanged Man" lowered slightly, and he seemed to have confirmed the guess in his heart, but he was not as shocked as "Justice" or "Magician".

Esther pointed to the mural: "There is no 'God of Steam and Machinery', most likely because he appeared in a different age, and these six are the only ones who have fought against the real-fallen Creator, probably at the Early Fourth Epoch."

"World" suddenly let out a hoarse and gloomy low laugh: "Miss 'Lover' is right, it reminds me that I have seen similar things in the ruins of the Fourth Epoch before. May I ask Mister Fool, can I Shall I show them the sculptures I've seen?"

"Of course." "The Fool" spread his hands at "The World", signaling him to show the picture he wanted to share.

This time, the six sculptures and the images corresponding to the holy emblem that appeared in the "world" made everyone thoroughly confirm this matter.

But Esther looked at the mural displayed by "The Sun", and moved back from the chair uneasily, her eyes always circling around the blackened cross.

Could it be that the man who appeared in her dream a long time ago, the man dressed as a priest named "Dazhibog", had some connection with the real Creator?
At least as far as Esther knows, no other gods are represented by the cross. They all have their own holy emblems. The images of the six righteous gods displayed by the "world" are normal, but the images they hold Among the "articles" of , there is nothing related to the cross.

Esther wasn't too involved in what the others were saying because she was ruminating on the matter.

She suddenly had the urge to explore the identity of the "true creator" for the first time.When Esther calmed down, "The Sun" was once again thanking all the members of the Tarot Society and "The Fool" present, because they answered many questions in his heart for him.

The "Sun" seemed to think that this mural might be the key, but Esther didn't think so. She always felt that the traces left by the "Tail Swallower" in other places were more important.

At this moment, "The Fool" moved slightly, changed to an equally relaxed and leisurely sitting position, and tapped the table with his fingers, attracting everyone's attention.

The god behind the thick fog let out a chuckle and said a word:

"Rose of Redemption."

Esther's lips moved slightly, unconsciously outlining a word, she didn't make a sound, the word just swirled around her lips.

As everyone knows, "The Fool" saw clearly the word she wanted to say.

"murder"?
Under the cover of gray mist, "The Fool" frowned slightly, but the members of the Tarot Society did not notice the clue.
