Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 243 The Healing of Swallowing Snakes
"That's impossible." Klein said firmly.

"I, I know, but..." Esther spread her wings and looked at her wings suspiciously.

Klein wasn't sure what Esther saw, so he felt strongly troubled: "But you're here now, we're still communicating, and the person talking to me was a Beyonder parasitized on Lark, not a spirit. Ais Especially the friends I have known for a long time, how could it be possible—”

After a pause, Klein lowered his voice and switched to Chinese: [Li Xing, calm down. ]
When this sentence came out, Klein was also saying it to himself.

I don't know if it was because Klein called that Chinese name, but the struggling emotions in Esther's eyes gradually calmed down, but she still showed a sense of weakness, and it was difficult for her to fly flexibly.

So Esther gave up the idea of ​​leaving Klein's top hat, and knelt down angrily: "You are right, I am a little too blind. The fear I feel may be just symbolic, and it does not mean that anything has really happened to me .”

"So you didn't see the specific scene."

Klein couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief. His previous question was too taken for granted. Esther didn't "see" the content under a strong premonition, but had a special feeling.

"That may not even be the past, but the content of the future, a disaster that I need to avoid..." Esther's voice was not very confident.

Klein thought about the current situation silently, and always felt that Esther's thinking was as negative as the previous one, or in other words, just as disturbing.

Esther suddenly raised her head: "By the way, go to my satchel and find that small square box with a circle painted with dark red bloodstains on it."

Klein was about to bring Esther's satchel and rummaged through the mess. The moment his fingers touched the silver Sacred Emblem of the Night, he paused for two seconds before pulling out Ais from the bottom. The box that Te said.

"Is this your own blood?"

Skylark nodded: "Yes, I found that my blood is better than most spiritual materials, and it can be used to mobilize light spots for a more powerful seal."

Although Klein frowned, he didn't say anything and just placed the box on the table.He reached out and picked up the restless Skylark from the bottom of the top hat, and placed it next to the box.

Esther lightly pecked twice with her mouth, and a halo of light swung from the top of the box, and then she winked at Klein: "Help me? Bird claws are relatively delicate."

"You're not delicate." Klein, whose spiritual intuition was touched, replied blankly.

He took two steps back and performed several coin divinations. After confirming that the contents of the box were not dangerous and that opening the box was safe, Klein stepped forward again.

Esther didn't urge him either, she is not in a good state now, her expression is in a trance and wandering.

Klein stretched out his hand and pressed the mechanism firmly, and opened the box cover for Esther.

What appeared before Klein's eyes was a slender little snake with a green body, which reminded him of the nickname "Bamboo Leaf Green", but he was sure that it was another snake that he had never seen before.

Klein immediately activated his Spirit Vision and observed the snake. What surprised him was that circles of broken wheels were condensed inside the snake, and the silver threads inside were intertwined into clusters, like twisted and knotted kite strings. .

He had seen that wheel-like pattern on Will Auceptin's incarnation of the giant snake, but the symbols inside the snake were quite fragmented, with almost no complete structure.

"What is this?" Klein's spiritual intuition was vaguely reminding him. He quickly turned off his spirit vision and asked Esther, "An extraordinary creature related to the 'fate' pathway?"

"No, this is just an ordinary snake. As a storage carrier of extraordinary power, it has been dead for a long time."

Klein didn't rush to grab the snake corpse: "Where did you get it?"

Of course Esther dared not say that this was something she got from Amon.

Skylark shrank his neck uneasily, and replied vaguely: "Well, it's just a chance...I'll explain it to you later."

"So what are you going to do now?"

Esther grabbed the extremely thin little snake with her claws: "Eat it and stabilize your mental state. Before I was promoted, I didn't know what it was useful for, but now I seem to understand a little bit."

Klein wanted to say this sentence for a long time: "Why do you eat everything?"

"Nature?" Esther couldn't help chuckling twice after she finished speaking. Although her voice still sounded weak, her surface emotions had almost recovered.

But she looked at Klein hesitantly: "Do you want to watch here? I'd be a little embarrassed."

Klein was at a loss, because no one else was present, and he didn't deliberately maintain Gehrman's role-playing: "We also had dinner together before."

"Okay... just to let you see it shouldn't matter, but you'd better stay away." Skylark nodded at him.

Klein quickly stepped back about five steps, keeping it at a distance that wasn't too far away, so he could take action at any time and get close to the table.

Esther took a deep breath and let out a whistle-like bird song.

At the root of each feather of the skylark, there was a faint light, as if a light bulb was hidden in its body, and it was adjusted to the maximum power to emit light at this time.

Soon, the light yellow dots separated from the skylark one by one, but they were different from the ones Klein had seen before. A long thin line trailed behind the light dots, still connected to the skylark's body.

It looked very much like unfolded petals, or some kind of growing hyphae, but there were too many of these light spots, clustering the not-so-big body of Lark in the middle, almost drowning Esther.

Even after a short distance, Klein still felt chills on his back. This scene seemed to fit the weird "parasitic ecology", but Esther was the one who was parasitized.

The diffused rays of light were ethereal and insubstantial, coordinating with each other and swaying gently. Soon, they were attracted by the closest thing outside, and gradually turned around, wrapping around the tiny green snake like an earthworm in large swaths.

Klein could see clearly that the rays of light protruding from Lark's body penetrated directly into the snake's body.Even if he didn't turn on his spirit vision, he could probably guess what they were doing - absorbing the "unknown power" stored inside the dead snake.

What Esther did was exactly this, but it was different from what Klein expected. She felt like she was trying to untangle a knotted thread.

Inside the snake left by Amon, the silver threads that should have been smooth were roughly rubbed together and completely twisted into a dead knot. They were entangled with each other like a hemp rope, and it was difficult to separate the head from the tail. This made it more difficult for the light spots to absorb it. .

Esther used her mind to control the direction of the light, and scolded Amon a lot in her heart. She used the analytical ability of the "cryptographer" to try to digest those silver threads.

Skylark's eyes were kept tightly closed, and Esther didn't dare to let Klein see the abnormality in her eyes. The imprint of "Zoya" emerged more and more clearly, and she noticed this when she was promoted to "Parasite".

This "eating" process did not last long, only four or five minutes passed.

Klein's frown became tighter and tighter, because the movement of those light threads reminded him of "All Black Eyes".Klein once forcibly used that eye, including when shaping the "world" to participate in the Tarot Club on the gray mist, he could perceive similar "lines".

Although the composition is not the same, this similar principle made Klein feel strange, and his spiritual intuition responded with clear anxiety.

This ability may be more dangerous than Esther imagined, does she have this consciousness?Klein stared at the skylark, the glowing filaments were constantly breaking away from the snake's body, quickly retracting under Esther's feathers.

After a while, Esther opened her eyes again, and the first thing she did was to shake the feathers on her body vigorously, and muttered softly: "This feeling is so strange..."

"Negative reaction?"

Skylark shook his head vigorously, as if trying to shake something out of his head:

"No, I just heard a lot of voices, buzzing in my head."

"Is it raving?"

Skylark plucked his feathers vigorously, and always felt a little numb all over his body, a kind of cramping pain, but it was not that strong: "No, it shouldn't be... If I give a more specific description, it seems to come from some creatures. calling."

Klein's doubts deepened, and he repeated the word: "Call?"

Esther carefully distinguished: "Yes, most of them are meaningless sounds, without words. Some of them are giant languages, there are singing and wailing, there are all kinds of sounds."

But soon she shook her head twice: "Those voices are intermittent, and now they are starting to dissipate."

Klein sat back on the chair, looked at Esther quietly for a moment, watched Lark regain his energy, and the worries in his heart were replaced by strong doubts.

Skylark jumped twice in the box: "There is still a shell left."

The original blue snake has been completely deflated, like a balloon that has been let out of air, collapsed into a thin and flexible layer of snake skin, bloodless and fleshless.

Klein glanced at it casually, and felt a little residual spiritual fluctuation coming from it. It seemed that it could still be recycled as spiritual material: "It looks like a complete snake slough, but why do you call it a 'shell'?"

"Because this is its most basic function." Esther stretched out her wings and gestured twice on the thin layer of snake skin, "Even if I don't parasitize other creatures, I can use it to carry out activities. It drapes on the body and makes simple changes."

Crane offers a clearer analogy: "Like the 'painted skin' in a ghost story."

"It's as if I'm a female ghost." Esther muttered softly, "It's similar to that, and it's more suitable for me than ordinary creatures to fill in the light spots and shape...some kind of clone."

"Don't experiment on a boat."

Klein doesn't think this thing is very credible, or any power connected with "Zoya" makes him suspicious.

Esther nodded vigorously: "I know! Having an extra lark will make other people very confused, so this thing is just my spare, I won't mess with it."

Klein also remained skeptical of these words.
