Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

After the meeting, Esther and Klein separated and returned to their respective residences.

Because it is also in the Bridge District, Esther returned to her newly rented house after only ten minutes of taking the stagecoach. This time she still only rented it for half a month, and she plans to go to Tussoke in the second half of the month Find a hotel by the river to stay for three to five days, and then go to the edge of the East District to find a house.

In order not to attract too much attention, Esther could only endure the trouble of moving around. She no longer bought all kinds of small things to satisfy her desire for consumption, but kept her luggage as light as possible to ensure that she was in a place where she could travel at any time. state of departure.

So her apartment environment can't be said to be very enjoyable. It is basically furnished with her own. Esther just moved in with her bags and didn't arrange much of her own things.

At this time, Xiao Wu was still sleeping in her pocket, and Esther leaned awkwardly in the single armchair, recalling the honored name at the party, carefully sensing the feedback in her mind.

The weirdest thing is that Esther's intuition showed the opposite tendency at the same time, both for and against her to attract the "fool", this is the first time Esther has encountered such a contradictory situation.

When facing the Aurora Society, the situation where her spiritual intuition was contrary to Esther's wishes was extremely extreme, but this time Esther had no preference, but her mind seemed to be divided into two factions, which made her at a loss for what to do.

"What is this..." Esther sighed with a headache.

Just as she was staring at the ceiling and letting the spiritual intuition in her mind fight, a muffled sound came from the window.

"boom!"

Esther jumped up from the armchair reflexively, immediately took out the "obsessive-compulsive disorder bow tie" from her arms, put it to her mouth, and turned to the window full of vigilance.

She saw a black shadow with fluttering wings crouching outside the window, and quickly lifted the glass to bring the crow into the room.

Xiao Qi looked very embarrassed, the originally soft and black feathers were in a mess, as if it had experienced a violent storm, one of its wings was drooping obliquely, and there were a few shallow blood holes on its body, but they were already scarred.

"What's going on!? Did you fight someone?" Esther nervously pulled out the medical bag, which contained the herbal powder and bandages she bought from the pharmacy to stop bleeding.

After Esther found a pen holder, slightly fixed the crow's wings, and tied a bandage on it, Xiao Qi, who remained silent the whole time, spoke: "I found that person, and I will not disturb other members of the family. Under certain circumstances, He helped me circumvent a small number of restrictions and told me something that could be conveyed."

Then it turned its head and looked around the room: "Where is Xiao Wu?"

"It's still sleeping," Esther cleared her throat uncomfortably, "Well, it should still be under the influence of my spot of light."

Xiaoqi looked at Esther in surprise for a few seconds, then lowered her head and chuckled: "Haha, you actually learned how to guard against it, you really have made progress..."

The next moment, all the teasing in its tone subsided, and Esther subconsciously sat up straight, knowing that Xiao Qi was going to talk about something very important.

"On the matter of treating you, Xiao Wu has the opposite opinion to me. You should also be aware of this and try to influence it to sleep."

Esther nodded, acknowledging the incident.

"What I'm going to tell you next, you'd better not disclose it to Xiao Wu. Although it can't do anything to you in its current state, once it can be free, the development of the matter will be completely out of our control."

"Life-threatening?"

"Esther, there are many scary scenes that make people prefer to die."

When Xiao Qi said this, there was a smile in her voice, which made Esther shudder even more, unwilling to think about what Xiao Qi was referring to: "I know, so what you want to tell me What exactly is it?"

"The light on your body has appeared in the real world since the second era, but it returned to the spirit world in the third era."

Esther's pupils gradually dilated, tending to turn to darkness, and the humming in her mind suddenly became much clearer. Those scattered and aggregated thoughts gradually outlined clear ravings, and gathered into another voice.

Xiao Qi's beak is still opening and closing: "He is using you to come back to life, trying to walk in the world. Our guess about the 'god descended vessel' has always been correct."

Fragments of light escaped uncontrollably from Esther's hair, and were constantly recalled by her suppressed thoughts, as if there were continuously flowing coils entwined around her hair.

She covered her mouth until all the light spots were gathered back, and then Esther let go of her hands, barely calming down her fearful heart.

She knew what the "god descended into the container" meant. Although she was still joking about "sleeping for a thousand years" with Klein before, Esther didn't expect her ability to "follow words" to work so quickly.

That was obviously just a joke, but now it looked like a prophecy about her ending.

Xiao Qi gave Esther time to regain her composure, but what she wanted to say was not yet finished: "You will attract that 'Hanged Man' because of the existence that sleeps on your body—he can , The long river of fate floating outside of time and space to stabilize and even anchor others can dispel the madness felt by high-sequence people to a certain extent."

Very out of place, Esther thought of the kind of filter chute that was blocked in the drain.

The thought should have made her laugh, but she couldn't laugh at all, only a tightness in her chest and no urge to cry.

"I'm really not a human being, am I?"

In any other situation, Xiao Qi would probably applaud and praise this self-deprecating sentence, but now it just nodded quietly and stared at Esther wordlessly.

The crow's black eyes were absorbing the pain and unwillingness on her face.

-

Esther didn't sleep that night.

The bad news that almost hollowed out her heart was like a "birthday gift" from this world to her. On the same day last year, she appeared helplessly in this world, surrounded by "little girls" who were full of malice towards her. seven".

Why is this so?Why is it such a weird and terrifying world?Esther couldn't help but ask herself.

When Xiao Wu woke up from his deep sleep, he saw Esther moved the armchair to the position by the window, staring at the scenery outside in a daze. Through the faint clouds, a round of moon was emitting crimson moonlight.

Xiao Wu had suspected for a long time that Esther had tampered with the restrictive power on her body, but she didn't point it out, but it was just to maintain the superficial peace and gain the time to think independently.Every time he thinks about the situation he is in, Xiao Wu feels a kind of cold anger emerge from the bottom of his heart—this is not in line with the character of "His", it is the influence of Esther's excessive emotional resonance.

Xiao Qi has been with her longer than me, no wonder it looks so abnormal...

Xiao Wu turned his head to look, and saw Xiao Qi who finally reappeared was taking a nap on a cushion, with bandaged wings exposed outside.

However, under Xiao Wu's gaze, Xiao Qi quickly opened his eyes, and lazily jumped to Xiao Wu's side: "Sleep for a while?"

Xiao Wu in the form of a bug of time shook his head: "I've slept enough recently. Have you really seen him?"

"See, what He told me is not complete, and what I can know is limited."

Xiao Wu turned to Esther on the other side: "You told her too?"

"Of course, of course!" The slyness in Xiao Qi's eyes was all too familiar to Xiao Wu, it was the pleasure brought by lies and deceit, "I told Esther everything I heard, look at her like this I won't be able to sleep tonight."

Xiao Wu doesn't like to see this avatar look so happy, its tail is almost up, but directly revealing Xiao Qi's concealment of part of the news will only make Esther's trust in her even rarer. disadvantaged.

Esther still hugged her knees quietly, huddled in the armchair, like a sculpture isolated from the world, as the protagonist of the discussion, she had no desire to intervene in the conversation between the two, and kept facing the red moon daze.

"Why are you in such a mess?" Xiao Wu didn't rush to ask, but started another topic.

Xiao Qi shook the wing that was still intact: "He doesn't really want me to leave so soon, and I'm not sure what He wants to do when he stays. If He really wants to notify the 'Patriarch', then I It's better to try to escape, so as not to lose time...Anyway, His desire to stop me is not very strong, otherwise I would have no chance."

Xiao Qi was concerned that Esther was still by her side, so she didn't say the whole thing.

Xiao Wu chuckled: "You don't really think you are special, do you? Don't even fool yourself, 'Xiao Qi'."

It bit the word very hard, and the sarcasm in it made Esther turn her blank eyes and land on them.

"Your Patriarch is 'Amon'." She said weakly, as if in a trance.

Neither Xiao Wu nor Xiao Qi spoke.Esther's current mental state is not right. They don't want to be the target of venting, and they are also afraid of stimulating Esther and causing her to lose control suddenly. Silence has become the best choice.

Esther didn't care about their responses, and continued to speak on her own: "You are also 'Amon'. This is not a surname, not just an identity, but a name...Everyone is Amon?"

She raised her hand and squeezed her right eye socket.

Esther's fingers pressed hard on her own eyeballs, and Xiao Qi was worried that she would snap off her fingers and dig out the entire eyeballs.But she didn't, and the pain from the pressure of her eyeballs kept reminding Esther that she still had a fragile, destructible human body.

Press it that hard again and she will lose her sight.

Esther's arm hangs down feebly, and a series of chaotic snowflakes dots and lines appear in front of her right eye.

She didn't have the courage to dig out the things that throbbed under her eyes, nor did she have the courage to face the strange light in her mind. Esther never realized that she was so cowardly and so afraid of death.

She looked at Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi again: "I am very grateful to you for telling me many things, otherwise I might not know why until the moment I lost myself."

"You shouldn't trust us." Xiao Wu suddenly said, and Xiao Qi next to him scratched his claws, but didn't make a sound.

Esther actually laughed, but that smile was as hollow as her eyes, like a pot pierced through, leaking out all the stable and gentle will: "You are rarely so frank. If it weren't for Xiao Qi Standing by the side, I would think you are Xiao Qi."

"Do I trust you guys? What a weird joke, I can't even trust myself."

After finishing speaking, Esther seemed to be really amused by herself. The chuckle that came out of her mouth was only breathless, like the "rustling" sound of dead trees shivering in the cold wind.
