Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

On Friday, it rained heavily, and Esther's rest was ruined. She originally wanted to order tickets for a recent play today, but when she saw the horrible weather outside, she said "bump", and with a grimace, she handed over the ticket from the Blackthorn Security Company. The door was closed again.

"Why is it raining so heavily..." The sound of rain kept hitting the window, and Esther confirmed again that the window was closed tightly.

Roxanne yawned and took a sip of coffee: "It's the season. It happens several times every summer."

Her hair was also a little damp, and the umbrella was placed in the bucket by the door. Esther went to find a towel and came out, receiving a grateful look from Roxanne.

When Klein entered the room, several strands of his hair were stuck to his forehead wetly. Esther found several more towels and decided to stuff one into each person she met.

"Ah thank you, good morning."

"Good morning, the weather is really bad today."

Klein wiped his hair carelessly: "Yeah, I almost forgot that the heavy rains in Tingen in summer are so exaggerated."

"Speaking of which, I came to Tingen last year, um, in November." Esther blinked at Klein, and he instantly understood the meaning, referring to the arrival of "Lixing" .

Klein calculated the time and found that it was half a year earlier than him, so it had not been long since she joined the Nighthawks.

Roxanne blinked blankly: "No, I feel like you have been with Nighthawks for at least almost a year! It feels like we have known each other for a long time."

"No, that's your illusion, little Roxanne. Don't follow the captain's footsteps and imitate his forgetfulness at such a young age."

Esther's pretentious tone made Roxanne roll her eyes angrily: "Don't laugh at me! I'm not forgetful! I do feel like I've been with you for a long time."

Esther didn't speak, just put on a faint smile, but Klein felt that the fellow's smile was fake, covering up the loneliness underneath: "Maybe it's just that you two get along. Being friends with people who have similar interests will indeed help It makes people feel like they have been together for a long time.”

Esther imitated Leonard's usual careless expression and shrugged: "Roxanne dislikes me because I nag her for throwing magazines!"

Roxanne was very unconvinced: "Hey, if you don't believe me, just ask, everyone will think that Esther has been here for a long time."

"It hasn't been that long... maybe like Klein said, you are the only one who is happier with me, so it feels like it has been longer." Esther tried to end the topic quickly.

Roxanne nodded Esther's forehead: "Definitely! Who wouldn't like Esther? You always help everyone here. Maybe everyone feels that you have been here for a long time."

Klein didn't notice Esther's embarrassment and nodded in agreement: "At least Esther gave me a good impression at first sight."

"Isn't it because I gave you puffs?"

Klein cleared his throat: "Ahem, of course this is one of the reasons."

Roxanne seemed determined to let Esther know that she had been coming to Nighthawks for a long time. She took Esther's hand and said, "Let's go and ask others. Everyone must think you have been here for a long time!"

It will be miserable if this continues. Esther waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, there is no need to bother them with this kind of question! Is it okay if I ask it myself? You still have to be on duty at the front desk."

"Yes, I have to stay here... Then let Klein supervise you so you can report to me when the time comes!"

The fellows looked at each other and saw Esther's urgent look for help. Klein nodded helplessly: "Okay, I can study literature later. Anyway, one question won't take much time."

After walking down the stairs, she felt that no more words could be heard from above. Esther quickly stopped and said, "Klein, I need to explain this to you. Because of our special identities."

Klein looked at Esther curiously, waiting quietly for her next words.

"I hope you don't tell anyone else. The most important thing is that you can't tell other people in the Nighthawks. I don't want to bring fear or disgust to them. I don't care if it's a stranger, but now I will be very afraid in their eyes. To see that look.”

Klein's thinking has always been quick: "Is it about your sequence ability?"

"Can you feel it? That's right. I remember your sequence is that of a diviner..."

"Why can't it be reasoning?" Klein's eyes became serious. "I have heard a rough outline of everyone's sequences. Dunn gave detailed introductions when choosing 'divineer', but none of them fit your situation. . When he introduced me to the current situation of the Nighthawks team, he said that your matter is a special case and is under the direct jurisdiction of the Holy Church, and it only counts as half of the Nighthawks."

Esther decided to be honest: "You should know better than me. I haven't been given permission to read most of the documents until now. I can only let Old Neil handle the occult books I want to read. The scope is still quite limited. Some of them are related to various ancient languages.”

"Are they jealous of your power?"

"Obviously. You see that Roxanne's concept of time is blurred. This is also caused by the unconscious spiritual divergence within the scope of my ability."

Klein suddenly realized: "So if you stay in the Nighthawks team, it is equivalent to being guarded? No wonder I see you here almost every day..."

"My superficial abilities include enhanced agility, increased sensitivity of my palms and wrists, and certain improvements in strength and physical fitness. You must have played online games, right?"

"Of course, you feel like you have points for agility, are you a thief? Assassin?"

"I tend to be a thief. I have an almost instinctive ability to steal, and I am also very sensitive in language and can detect the other party's thoughts, but I rarely use this power. I also have an ability to instantly analyze and analyze beyond ordinary people, which makes me His intuition is faster than his thinking in the face of emergencies. If these abilities are really matched, it will be enough to cause disaster."

Esther scratched her head depressedly. The more she counted the abilities that the little bug helped her sum up, the more she felt like a time bomb. If one day she loses control, it would be best to keep her detained inside Chanis Gate for a long time, otherwise there will definitely be big trouble.

Klein's eyes suddenly lit up. He recalled the contents of Emperor Russell's diary. The emperor's regret at that time was that he could not choose "apprentice", "divineer" or "thief"! Just by listening to the description of her ability, Esther basically belongs to the "Stealer" sequence, but with such a comprehensive increase, she must not only be in sequence nine, but probably eight or even seven? Unfortunately, I don’t know what the subsequent sequence is called, and there is insufficient information.

"I don't know if you have heard of the 'Stealer' path. According to your description, there is a high possibility that it is the sequence of your abilities."

Esther's eyes widened. She was able to get an accurate guess from her fellow villager. This was something she never expected: "Stealer... This is an accurate description of my 'thief's hand'!"

Klein was startled: "Did you even give me a name?"

Esther looked away and blushed a little: "People always have to find some fun in their lives..."

"I understand, I understand," Klein refrained from laughing too arrogantly, "At least now I have a clue. I will help you pay more attention to this information."

If it doesn't work, you can also publish the mission in your own private party. Unfortunately, this information does not match the personality of the "god". It would be nice if there was an alt account.

Esther's gratitude came from the bottom of her heart: "Thank you! It would be great to have someone to discuss it with. Thank you for your willingness to help. If you have anything, just ask me."

Klein shook his head: "Since you have told me such an important secret, of course I can't let you down. Needless to say, there is no reward. I won't be polite if I want to trouble you."

The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling much better.

"Then, should we still ask the question that Luo Shan mentioned?"

Esther hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Since I agreed, just ask. It will also give you a clearer understanding of how unstable the negative effects on me are."

She looked deeply at Klein: "Don't forget me, [Comrade Zhou Mingrui]."

[See you outside, Comrade Li Xing. ]

This short two-sentence conversation made the two people laugh inexplicably, and it felt like an underground party meeting.

But only Esther herself knew how much sadness was hidden behind her words.

Finally, Klein and Esther asked about the people who stayed at the Blackthorn Security Company today. The more people they asked, the more serious Klein's expression became. He looked at Esther frequently, and Esther could only reply. A casual smile.

Old Neil, who was drinking coffee and guarding the weapons arsenal, just thought for a moment and nodded confidently: "It must have been more than half a year, otherwise how could Esther's progress in learning the occult language be so fast?"

Bright and Frye gave the same answer: "About half a year."

But Frye added later: "He is a very reliable teammate."

Cohen Li is not here today because he is on his day off, and Luo Yao and Xijia's answers are similar to Luo Shan's.

After Leonard heard this question, he stared at the air and tilted his head, his expression becoming more and more subtle. In the end, he just shook his head: "I can't remember clearly."

Klein looked at Leonard thoughtfully: "Why don't you just tell me a time?"

"So, it's similar to what Xijia said?" Leonard didn't mean to hide it. "I really can't remember it clearly. I feel like my memory is very confusing."

Xijia gave him a strange look: "So how are you doing? Do you want to ask for leave from the captain?"

Leonard waved his hand casually: "It's not that exaggerated, I just can't remember it."

Esther didn't pay attention to Leonard's explanation, which was full of loopholes, and led Klein to the corridor again: "Are you clear now?"

Klein's brows furrowed even more: "There's also the captain. Does he know about your situation?"

"I know. Perhaps it should be said that the captain knows best."

Dunn was on duty at Chanis Gate. After Esther asked, he simply did not answer the question and looked deeply at Klein next to him: "You still have mysticism classes today, right?"

This is obviously driving people away.

Klein blinked innocently at Esther: "Yes, I'll go find Old Neil right now."

It wasn't until Klein's footsteps could no longer be heard in the corridor that Dunn looked at Esther: "Esther, did you have a premonition?"

Esther, who was just about to follow, had to stop and asked, "Why did the captain say that?"

"You are too close to him, and you are even deliberately leading him to notice that something is wrong with you. Is there something special about Klein?"

"I don't know... maybe it's just because I think he's more relatable."

Dunn looked at Esther for a few times. His deep gray eyes were hard to see through. Finally, he sighed: "Oh, you can go out."
