Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 137 The Strange Sky

On the day of the great smog in Backlund, in the afternoon.

The vision in the sky of the Eastern District fell into the eyes of people in the entire city.

The light tore through the haze, revealing the sky and the sun. What else could such a scene be, if not a miracle?
In the neighborhoods that were less affected, people began to pray to the gods they believed in. Especially because the yellow-black fog was extremely terrifying, many people began to feel unwell, and they became even more panicked.

The Church of the Evernight Goddess, the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, and the Church of the God of Storms have all entered a state of emergency.

Because of the highly toxic smog that suddenly spread in the factory area, the dock area, and the east area, some official Beyonders have been dispatched to evacuate and rescue the masses. The number of manpower dispatched to the Eastern District is quite limited.

And the several teams that were already in the eastern zone lost contact long ago.

When that light came on, outside forces couldn't even interfere with the Eastern District, it seemed to be isolated for a short time, forming an independent space.

Fortunately, this situation only lasted a few minutes.

The inhabitants did not understand what such a situation was, but the three archbishops still remembered similar situations.Even if the Extraordinary people under him have forgotten everything about that time, the sealed confidential files will not deceive or falsify.

This is the same source as the power that appeared in the Eastern District some time ago, but this time, it showed itself more unscrupulously, and even launched a counterattack against the smog that eroded the life of the Eastern District.

The three Orthodox churches used the strongest sealed artifacts they could activate at the same time. Because of the abnormal light, Archbishop St. Anthony of the Evernight Church made up his mind and directly activated the 0-17 "Angel of the Hidden".

The highest level of secrets related to 0-17 is that it can be used as the descending container of the goddess of the night.

Soon, the light of the East End faded.

The strong wind swept Backlund, and then the torrential rain fell, completely submerging the deadly residual mist.

-

South Bridge.

In the "Tianlai Cafe", the woman who was listening to the red-haired young man playing the piano raised her head. She has Balam's unique dark skin and a pendant of colorful feathers around her ears.

Turning her head unconsciously and noticing the color of the sky, she yelled, and then rushed out of the cafe with few customers: "Rich! Come out!"

The young man with red curly hair and freckles stopped his behavior of harming the hearing of others. He pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and followed the woman out of the door. Almost everyone came to the street, and their eyes were unconsciously caught Attracted by the light in the sky, they all put down what they were doing just now, and stared quietly in that direction.

Soon, the owner of the cafe, Thomson Monet, and the proprietress Martha Monet also came out, staring blankly at the strange celestial phenomenon, their expressions gradually turning from surprise to peace.

Rich Andreessen looked around at the unanimous expressions on the faces of the people around him, and always felt that such a scene was somewhat familiar.

Candra Gonzales, who was standing next to Rich, suddenly grabbed his arm and dragged him to the outer edge of the crowd.

"Kandla? You, you slow down!"

The dark-skinned Kendela lowered her voice: "I saw Norn just now! Norn Murphy!"

Rich also lowered his voice, and looked around in shock: "Didn't he be wanted by the police for participating in the evil? Wasn't he wanted by the police!? We were questioned for several days at that time!"

Candela and Rich rushed quickly, squeezed away several passers-by who were staring intently at the sky, and got into a small alley.

"Norn! Wait!" After Rich shouted, he realized that the young man who used to be a teacher in the East District did not continue to run away.

Norn Murphy was wearing a coffee-colored double-breasted windbreaker, with his left hand on the lead gray soft top hat on his head, and he took off his hat to the two of them: "Sorry, I don't have much time to talk about the past, I just want to ask you to help me I say hello to Mrs. Romano, and thank her for taking care of me over the years."

Rich walked forward angrily, and his action made Norn take two steps back: "What happened to you, you left without saying a word! When the police came and told us that you were involved in cult activities, we Almost scared to death!"

Norn smiled wryly and shook his head: "No, you should be the only one who is frightened. I know each of you, Rich."

Candela mentions something else instead: "Non, is that lingering sense of dissonance in Apartment Seven because of something you did? That's it!?"

Norn shook his head: "I don't know, but..."

His gaze turned to the sky. Although it was blocked by the building, the other two knew that he was looking in the direction of the East District, where there were strange lights dancing in the sky.

"Maybe we shouldn't know, that's good for us. The singing of 'Zoya' is really wonderful. Even if we are destined to forget it, I really want to hear it again..."

Norn took another two steps back.

Kendela noticed the movement under his feet: "Wait! Explain clearly!"

Norn suddenly rushed to the corner deep in the alley, and as soon as he was out of the sight of Kendela and Rich, his figure merged into the darkness of the corner, squirmed along the darkness, and got into the nearby sewer entrance.

Candela and Rich ran around the corner, only to see a high wall a few meters away.

This is a dead end.

-

Lily of the Valley Street, at the entrance of Apartment No. [-].

Mrs. Romano looked up at the changes in the sky with a gloomy expression.

Suddenly, as if feeling something in her heart, she turned her head to look at the flower bed at hand.

The sunflower, which was a whole head taller than the neighboring plant, was withering, its leaves and petals shriveled and dried up rapidly.

Mrs. Romano stretched out her hand and tremblingly took down the dry flower plate full of melon seeds. The rest of it only took a few seconds to be completely black and rotten, and soon fell into the soil.

"Mother God, what is this..."

Mrs. Romano held the flower plate in one hand, and the other hand clenched the holy emblem of life hanging on her chest.

She looked at the smog in the sky that was completely opposite to the breath of life, and knew that she would be busy in the next period of time.

-

Queens, Earl Hall's mansion.

After "Justice" Audrey Hall told her mother about "Chick", she has been anxiously waiting for the result.

Standing by the window, she saw the weird mist sweeping half of Backlund, and naturally also saw the gentle and clear light. Audrey couldn't help but cover her mouth, watching in shock as the light kept tearing away the haze. Mutation.

That light gave her a very familiar feeling, she had seen it before, and with the powerful observation ability brought to her by being an "spectator", Audrey could easily recall where she had seen a similar light.

It was the ball of light hanging on the table of President Tarot, and she could see a similar light every time the Tarot Society was held!Could it be that this is a miracle from the hands of Mister Fool! ?

This made Audrey even more uneasy. Could it be that the impact of this disaster was so great that Mr. Fool couldn't bear it, and he directly descended from God to rescue the residents of Backlund?

But she was also full of gratitude in her heart, thankful that Mister Fool in her mind had a kindness that matched his power. Sure enough, her views on Mr. Fool had been correct all along!
Audrey leaned down and hugged Susie tightly, praying silently in her heart. She was very reluctant when the light faded, but the storm that swept to the east and the heavy rain soon made Audrey calm down. .

I don't know what's going on in the east, why hasn't my father come back yet?

hope everything is fine……

-

Joewood area.

Forsi was lying on the sofa, holding a small glass of red wine, lazily discussing New Year's plans with Xio, but this was limited to verbal chats, and her plans were often procrastinated to the end. ".

Xio is sorting out the commissions at hand, because the New Year is approaching, and the number of commissions has decreased, but for the many materials needed for promotion in the future, Xio dare not relax completely.

Suddenly, Forsi felt something in her heart, she sat up from the sofa in a jerk, which surprised Xio.

"what happened?"

The wine in Forsi's hand swirled in the side of the glass and almost spilled out. She quickly drank the rest, then quickly walked to the window to look out.

"Hugh, look over there, there..."

Forsi pulled Xio to the window in shock, and Xio was also dumbfounded at the scene in the sky: "What is that smog? Is this, this kind of light also extraordinary power? Oops, that direction seems to be the Eastern District!"

Xio was startled, and ran towards the door subconsciously, but was grabbed by Forsi's arm: "Calm down! With our sequence, do you think we can compete against the Extraordinary who triggers this kind of celestial phenomenon?"

Xio gritted his teeth unwillingly: "That's right, but what's going on?"

Fors shook her head suspiciously, but that light seemed a little familiar, where did she see it?

"I hope the official Extraordinary can hurry up, there are still so many people in the Eastern District..."

Xio stood beside Forsi, looking up at the gloomy sky outside the window with her, both of them were full of worries.

-

The outskirts of Backlund.

Azik Eggers, who was exiled by the enemy, returned to Klein's side through a journey in the spirit world, and handed over the sealed "creeping hunger" to Sherlock Moriarty, who apparently restored the past student.

"Mr. Ards, that light..."

Klein looked in the direction of Backlund, and the light appeared when he was being chased by Mr. A, and even made Mr. A briefly stop following him.

But now, it is disintegrating into points of light, turning into faint starbursts, constantly disappearing into the gray sky of Backlund.

However, to Klein's disappointment, Azik also shook his head: "I don't know what it is, I can feel that its power is quite special, and it seems to have some kind of connection with the spirit world."

Perhaps seeing Klein's bad face, Azik added a few more words: "Before you reach a certain level of strength, it's best not to investigate rashly. Some hidden existences in the spirit world are likely to let people know even if they are not malicious. Those who receive relevant information are polluted."

Klein nodded: "Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Ards, I will be careful."

After Mr. Ards left, Klein used the ability of the Faceless Man to change his appearance, and found a hotel in a nearby town to stay.

Of course he recognized the light. Klein had seen the same thing on Esther and above the gray mist.

He did not reveal his inner worries in front of Mr. Ards.

Klein only hoped for the source of that vision, not Esther's loss of control.

He changed into dry clothes first, because he was chased by Mr. A earlier, Klein was forced to jump into the Tussock River to escape, and was affected by the plague. At this time, he had a fever, runny nose and itchy throat due to a cold It's hard.

He spread the banknotes soaked in water on the table, and waited for them to dry naturally. After that, he built a spiritual wall, and was busy with the ceremony of sacrificing "squirming hunger" to the gray mist. When he was ready, he Quickly walked four steps backwards and recited the mantra, came above the gray mist, and took the newly obtained gloves.

However, Klein was not in a hurry to investigate it, because he first noticed the abnormal shape of the ball of light above his head.

It was so dim that it barely shone any more.

As soon as Klein raised his hand, the darkened light ball obediently fell into his palm. The glass-like transparent shell was covered with cracks, as if it had suffered a powerful impact, but because there was no completely damaged gap on the outside, Therefore, the active filling of the fog has not yet been triggered.

Klein tentatively pulled a small amount of gray mist that he could pull, and let it cover the outside of the ball of light. The ball of light became a little brighter, constantly switching between light and dark, as if he was breathing hard, trying to absorb the light that would allow it to breathe. The power of recovery.

The citrine pendulum hangs down from Klein's right wrist, and his left hand still holds the light ball covered with a "lampshade" by the black mist, and silently recited "Becklund's light is related to Esther" seven times.

After getting a fairly certain answer, Klein changed the language of divination:

"Esther's life is not in danger now."

Although the pendulum was rotating clockwise, the amplitude was so small that it seemed to be shaking from side to side. This surprised Klein, and he performed another divination: "Esther is in a difficult situation."

This time, the pendulum turned crazily clockwise.

If it wasn't above the gray mist, such a violent divination phenomenon might cause the citrine to be thrown out.

Klein didn't try dream divination, he knew that putting it on the light sphere would be useless.

Is there anything I can do to help Esther?Klein racked his brains to think of countermeasures, placed the pendulum in front of him again, and said silently:

"I should go find Esther and help her out."

He opened his eyes and saw the divination result of the pendulum spinning wildly.

Counterclockwise, negation, portends great danger and conflicts that he cannot face.

Klein clenched his fists, and quickly put down his hands weakly, staring at the ball of light on his left hand.

"Is there no way to help her..."

He asked himself softly, but unexpectedly received a response from the ball of light, and a halo of light swayed from above, making Klein subconsciously sit upright from the high-back chair.

He sensed a certain "voice" from the ball of light, no matter what was sealed inside, it or he would clearly tell Klein:
[Ordered. ]
Klein was so startled that he almost jumped up, because the language used to respond was Chinese, which he was most familiar with!He also subconsciously asked the ball of light in Chinese:
[Do you know where Li Xing is?You can help her! ? ]
But this time Klein didn't receive any response. He tried to switch back to Loen language and Giant language, but the ball of light no longer gave him any feedback, which made Klein very disappointed while being excited.

Is it by chance?It should not be accidental, there is no such a coincidence, the most likely thing is that there is a special connection between this ball of light and Esther, so when Esther is indeed facing a crisis, it also hopes to help, so borrow took my order?
Because of the absolute suppression of the gray mist, it can't act autonomously, and I must order it as the "Master of Gray Mist", but why doesn't it respond to the following questions?
Klein thought for a while, and he had the answer in his heart. After all, he is not the real god "The Fool" now, and he has limited control over the gray fog, so he can't forcefully order the ball of light to do something.

But now he is basically sure that this ball of light is sealing the power belonging to "Zoya", so that the owner of the gray mist can also use it.

I just hope it can really help Esther and let the fellow get out of trouble as soon as possible.
