Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 616 Caught
"Do you think George III can succeed?"

"..."

"It seems that he has no destiny to become a god, otherwise Esther would definitely know about this, and you or 'fate' would always guide her to know, right?"

"I have no obligation to tell you these things."

Skylark curled up at the bottom of the "cage", looking weak and tired, and his tone was quite indifferent when he spoke.

The appearance of this "cage" is very special. Rather than a bird cage, it is more like a crystal ball without a lock. There is only a small gap at the top, which does not form a completely closed environment, so the creatures inside will not suffocate. However, both sides are very clear that the existence of this gap has no effect, it is just a mockery of the victor to the prisoner.

For a bird, this crystal ball, which is not as big as a human head, is still very cramped and the narrow space is quite uncomfortable. Moreover, when the person playing with the crystal ball throws it up and catches it, the skylark inside will be bumped with it and tumbled helplessly in it.

Those light-colored eyes, as big as beans, revealed a desperate and dead look.

Amon smiled, appreciating the stubbornness it showed at the moment. Since catching this little guy, similar conversations have been going on for a long time, which is also a kind of self-entertainment for him.

But such an attitude was useless. As long as this Sequence 2 clone was willing to mobilize the connection of uniqueness, Skylark had to answer Him. This had nothing to do with the obligation Skylark mentioned, but was an obedience that could not be disobeyed, just like the influence of all high-sequences on low-sequences. Moreover, this little Skylark itself did not have any extraordinary characteristics.

However, this is also based on the premise that Amon has trapped it, so he can manipulate the bird at will, otherwise it would have escaped long ago.

Norns shrunk his head under his wings in frustration. He couldn't understand why things turned out like this - especially how could Amon find the secret hidden in the Dreamland and even have the energy to control another uniqueness?
This puzzled Norns, and besides that, he was more annoyed. It had never been wronged like this before. Klein had always been very indulgent to it, and even when it was in the cage, the door was never locked...

The time goes back to one hour ago.

Because what he was about to do was too dangerous, Klein didn't dare to bring Skylark with him this time, so he simply entrusted Norn to Ms. Arianna.

But out of an inexplicable sense of fear, Norns was full of resistance to this. Even though it did not show it in front of Klein, it was still determined to escape.

The more important reason is that Norns sensed some kind of mysterious guidance, telling it to be wary of the power of "Night".

At the same time, the feeling of being called continued to resonate, so strong that the skylark could not resist - of course, it would have been impossible for it to "escape" from the hands of the "Servant of Secrets", unless some secret goddess signaled Arianna to do so for other reasons - in the end, Norns escaped, or rather, it thought it had successfully avoided the secret eyes.

When the skylark was still pleasantly surprised by its sudden freedom and foolishly pursued the source of the call, hoping to reunite with its tribe and Esther, it saw a white-eyed crow waiting for it with a smile.

The moment Norns knew it was a trap, it was too late, not to mention the crow whistled a rather hoarse whistle at it.

The skylark's feathers suddenly lit up, and its wings stopped flapping. It froze stiffly in a posture as if it wanted to turn around and fly away, and then fell down.

The crow disappeared, and the one who caught Skylark was Amon, who was wearing a pointed hat. The lens in front of his right eye emitted a pale yellow light, which made Skylark feel familiar and friendly, but also a sense of fear of being completely seen through. "It's amazing." Amon said with emotion, pinching the fragile and helpless bird in his hand, and the smile on his face was genuine and joyful, like a child who found a new toy.

Seeing the deep vigilance in Yunlark's eyes, Amon became more interested. "Oh? You are not as blindly obedient as them. Are you unwilling to obey me? Is it because you have left the tribe too far away that you have your own identity and likes and dislikes? Or did Esther give you a little help, making you special?"

Norns regained control of itself, but was held in Amon's palm. It shook its head vigorously, but felt the force squeezing its body become even firmer.

Amon tapped his monocle with his free right hand, and a faint light was reflected from the transparent crystal lens, as if some fine gold sand was flowing through it and being washed away from the river bank surrounded by mercury.

Skylark immediately calmed down. Under the absolute suppression of its status, it could only raise its head and answer Amon's question: "No, it's not Esther that makes me special, but the cognition of 'secret'..."

"Don't take the nickname 'secret' for granted," Amon narrowed his eyes, and the smile in his black eyes disappeared, "What the result will be this time is still unknown."

Norns seemed to be more proud than Amon. He stretched his neck and continued, "We have spent a very long time to repair the broken fate. Everything will be back on track. There will be no difference."

Amon pointed at his monocle and said, "Is this also part of the fate you saw?"

Yun Que was speechless for a moment and just shook his head blankly.

"You see, fate has changed."

Amon was very satisfied with Skylark's silence, but he did not intend to give the little guy a chance to ask for help. A layer of transparent crystals spread out from his palm, quickly sealing in Skylark who was unable to struggle, and Norns could only watch himself being locked up.

"Even if you didn't do this, I wouldn't go looking for him." Yun Que said in a low voice, as if explaining something for himself.

But soon, Amon started playing catch with the ball. He sat quietly on the edge of a nearby building, spending time looking at the square where speeches were being given not far away. No one would notice the presence of anyone here.

As for those in high positions, a chaotic battle was taking place in other places.

"Oh, I know you won't go to him. But you might attract other attention, and I know all too well what you are thinking right now."

Amon smiled kindly, but his hands never stopped torturing Yunlark:

"Who do you want to ask for help? Dazhibog or the demon wolf? Ouroboros or that madman? You have no one to rely on. As long as I reveal your true identity, you will be their natural enemy."

There was a hint of astonishment in Norns' pale eyes. Amon stopped shaking the crystal ball, so Skylark tucked its head under its wings again and did not move for a long time.
