Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

It was like tearing a corner of the night apart and forcing it into this room. Only the darkness dotted with sparse stars occupied every place. The breath of silence and tranquility spurted out from the crack in the pocket watch, still standing in the room. Old Neil instantly closed his eyes and fell asleep, falling directly to the ground.

The pair of eyes hanging above Esther's head immediately became blurry and hazy. As the power of silence became stronger and stronger, it was like a pencil drawing that had encountered an eraser and was forcibly erased.

After the night drove away those eyes, it was like layers of curtains fell on Esther, shrouding her inside. As more and more black veil-like power surrounded Esther, the unbroken light around Esther point, and finally slowly returned to her head.

Soothed by this power, the light in Esther's eyes quickly dissipated. When the darkness surging in her eyes subsided and turned back to clear light gray, Esther also closed her eyes and fell into deep sleep. sleep.

The power of the night surrounded Esther's body layer by layer, and finally integrated directly into her body, even sealing the bleeding wound on her arm, leaving only a layer of darkness outside.

All the strange things in the house completely disappeared.

The three people outside the room could feel that the pressure caused by the light and darkness had disappeared. They quickly reacted. Luo Yao wiped his face with a handkerchief and nodded to Dunn to indicate that he was fine. Also in Klein. After expressing that he was in stable condition, Dunn stepped onto the steps in front of Old Neil's door again.

Dunn closed his eyes and stood quietly at the door for a few minutes, then carefully turned the door handle, allowing the scene in the room to be clearly presented to the three people's sight.

Old Neil's home was peaceful, with only the broken peace knot on the ground, the broken pocket watch, the magic circle that hadn't had time to perform the ritual, and two people on the verge of losing control who had just fallen asleep.

Old Neil looked fine in appearance, with no black hair on his face or two eyes. There was only a red and swollen patch on his forehead because he hit the edge of the piano bench when he passed out. Almost all of Esther's hair turned silver-white, leaving only a few yellow hairs. The roots of those silver hairs still showed a light yellow color like osmanthus, and there was no blood at all on her face.

Just now, Old Neil and Esther lost control, and the weird scene of the room full of blood and black hair was like a brief hallucination at the moment when the door was broken open, full of unreality.

"Old Neil is immersed in a dream, and Esther... too."

Dunn almost shuddered, trying not to think about what he had just seen in Esther's dream. This was the first time he successfully entered Esther's dream. Although it was only for a moment, the criss-crossing distortions and the large number of repeated and interlaced images had a huge impact on Dunn's spirit and made him return. After realizing the reality, I still feel confused about the illusion.

In Esther's dream, Dunn almost saw dozens of endings for Old Neil's out-of-control situation in an instant. The huge flow of information seemed to allow Dunn to experience various illusions firsthand, so he spent extra time It took him two minutes to come back to his senses.

At least it's over, everyone is still alive, no one died...

Klein's arm holding the gun hung down weakly. Looking at Esther's sleepy face, he felt that his heart was full of bitterness. He never thought that in the end it would be the fellow countryman who would burst out with her "gold finger", almost to the point of exchanging one's life for one's life.

The Tingen Nighthawks team protects the residents here with their lives, while Li Xing protects them, no, us, with the same concept.

Unexpectedly, she, who usually only cares about delicious food, has such a side. Unexpectedly, Klein was deeply moved by such behavior. When the power of the light on Esther's body exploded, Klein always felt that the light gave him a familiar feeling, but he couldn't remember where else he had felt it except when he met Admissor.

Luo Yao's usually cold face also showed fragile sadness. She helped Esther up and checked the wound on her arm, only to find that it had healed on its own, leaving only a long scar like a centipede.

Klein and Luo Yao took Old Neil and Esther back to the Blackthorn Security Company. Dunn stayed at Old Neil's house to conduct a final search to ensure that nothing else remained here.

There was only silence on the carriage, the sound of hooves trampling through the increasingly dark streets, and the crimson moon opening its eyes from the horizon.

-

Luo Shan was sitting behind the reception desk. She was so restless that she couldn't calm down in anything. Whenever there was any movement at the door, she wanted to stretch her head to see.

But in order to calm people's hearts, Dunn specifically told Klein and Luo Yao not to go through the main entrance of Blackthorn Security Company. The two of them took Esther Old Neil from the underground passage of St. Selina Church to the Chanis Gate. The watcher sighed and took the two of them behind the door. Luo Yao went to Dunn's office to give him a message. The church sent an emergency telegram.

Klein hesitated for a moment and then came to the reception hall at the front door of the security company.

Roxanne didn't notice Klein until he walked in from the back stairs. She was staring closely at the window in the opposite direction, observing whether there was any movement outside. She seemed to think that Esther and the others would walk in from there together, and bring the smiling old Neil back to the Black Thorn safely.

"Roxanne, we have brought Old Neil back."

Roxanne was startled by the call. When she saw it was Klein, she immediately asked anxiously: "How is Old Neil? Is he okay?"

"He's... okay, he's sleeping now. We've caught up." Klein said the last words with great strength.

Roxanne patted her heart and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's great. Where's Esther? Didn't she come back with you?"

Thinking that Roxanne was the person closest to Esther in the entire company, Klein did not hide anything. He used what Dunn told them to reveal: "Esther is also sleeping and may have to rest for a long time."

"Asleep..." Roshan fell back in shock and leaned heavily on the back of the chair. Her face, which was always energetic, was covered with a layer of gloom, "Is she seriously injured?"

Klein just shook his head: "I don't know, maybe we have to wait until the captain comes back..."

The meaning of this sentence is obvious. He should not tell other people the extra content without the permission of the captain. Roxanne had worked here for several years, and of course she understood the pronunciation of Klein's words. She did not ask any further questions, but shook her head silently. When she tried to grab a magazine, she knocked off the ballpoint pen in her hand.

Roxanne stared at the fallen pen, watching it spinning on the ground, but had no motivation to get up and pick it up.

Klein leaned over to pick up the ballpoint pen, put it back on Roxanne's desk, and left the reception hall to go to Dunn's office to wait for the final conclusion of this unexpected task.

Luo Shan touched the braided bracelet on her left wrist, held back the tears in her eyes, and drew the crimson moon on her heart many times.

"Goddess, please protect Esther and don't let anything happen to her..."

-

Esther is dreaming.

She had to admit that since she came to this red moon world and started living as Esther, she had not had a normal dream, which made her hate the unreal feeling when she fell into a dream.

But it wasn't until today that Esther realized that she could clearly distinguish whether everything in front of her came from a dream or reality.

She was in a dream state, experiencing something she had no memory of.

Esther couldn't feel her controllable body, and her consciousness was stuffed into a small circle of light, curled up in the fluffy hair. Beneath her body was a giant black wolf with eight legs. The aura coming from it made Esther feel friendly and made her want to get closer. So Esther rolled in the hair, fell between the giant wolf's paws, and gently rubbed the little water stains on the giant wolf's paws.

Those were tears. This giant wolf was crying silently, but what burned in those eyes was unwillingness, compassion and indignation.

The "Esther Light Group" shook, and a song came from it, which sounded directly in the giant wolf's mind. It was an English pop music that she was also quite familiar with, "Rolling in the Deep".

The black eight-legged giant wolf closed its eyes, gently placed its chin on the ball of light, and protected it tightly between its sharp claws, which were still stained with blood.

The dream began to twist. Esther thought this was the end, but she didn't expect that it was actually the beginning of a longer dream. She saw many creatures, all of which were the weird races in the creation myth. Humans were the top of the food chain. At the bottom, you can only struggle against the powerful and ferocious extraordinary creatures.

And she has always been that little ball of light, staying with the black wolf. When the black wolf drives the bad luck, the ball of light clings tightly to her hair, responding to the violent increase in the power of the black wolf. His spiritual power enabled Black Wolf to show greater strength and escape from danger many times.

A betrayal occurred that affected several races, and the ancient leader of the race fell. Under the plan of the black wolf, the violent leader of the demon wolf clan also died in this disaster. The black wolf carried the escaped power of the pre-demon wolf leader, and with Esther's assistance, he quickly took control of it and frantically slaughtered other demon wolves.

This dream was submerged in boundless blood, because the ball of light swallowed up the black wolf's uncontrollable madness and fell into a deep sleep.

Esther's consciousness was pulled away from it. Even though she knew that these pictures that were as vivid as reality were all from her weird dreams, Esther still felt uncomfortable.

The ball of light has no emotions. It seems to be fulfilling some "duty", but Esther has emotions. She can feel the endless grief and confusion in the heart of the eight-legged giant wolf, as well as the joy of revenge against the wolves later.

Compared to other giant wolves that are more animalistic, Esther can feel the presence of a person inside its body.

Who is she?

Before Esther could think about it, the picture of darkness reappeared.

This time, Esther in the dream finally had a "body" and got rid of the pure light polymer. A woman wearing a black gothic tiered long skirt with stars on it was holding Esther's hand. Pulling her along a quiet corridor, the woman's face was also hidden under the black gauze, with only the faint lips and chin exposed.

Esther recognized this person immediately, it was Kuroyoru.

Based on her height when she looked up, Esther estimated that she was no more than [-] meters tall now, and her steps when walking were pitifully small. Heiye had to slow down to prevent Esther from not being able to keep up.

Do I look like a six or seven-year-old child at best now? I actually saw the dark night when I was a child, but I have no impression of it at all.

Is all this a dream or...

Sealed memories?
