Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Esther lay on the simple stone bed, soothed by that power, and was gradually overwhelmed by sleep.

She had a dream.

Since waking up in Tingen, Esther has never had a dream. Her sleep is always dark without any disturbance, and when she opens her eyes again, the bright skylight falls on her face through the attic window.

But now, she clearly realizes that she is not "in the body" and she doesn't even have movable arms and legs. It was like an empty hall. Esther was imprisoned in a transparent sphere. The distance was filled with thick and silent gray fog, and she couldn't feel anything else.

How long will this dream last? Esther lost the concept of time. She just felt depressed and irritated, and wanted to go out and leave here quickly. She would rather go back to the hard stone bed, enveloped in the cold darkness, and still be able to hear her own heartbeat and breathing.

This dream without "senses" lasted for who knows how long, and Esther's boredom was gradually replaced by despair.

Is she going to be trapped like this forever?

Esther couldn't even make a sound that could scream. There was no one who could accept her message for help, and she was even more unable to communicate.

[Esther.]

Someone was calling her name, in...English! ?

As that name was called, the wonderful connection allowed Esther to regain her awareness of her body, and she suddenly opened her eyes.

This is another dreamland. The night herbs and sleeping flowers at her feet exude a soothing fragrance for Esther. The flower field continues to the distance beyond the sight. The red moon hangs high in the sky, but what is even brighter is the surrounding flowers. Dotted with stars, Esther even recognized a few constellations that were slightly familiar to her.

In the distance stands a tall, quiet Gothic church, which looks as if it is carved from black marble. Surrounded by beautiful flower fields and vast bright starry sky, it is simply a picture of wonder.

Even though the flower field naturally parted to both sides, revealing a path, Esther didn't even dare to gasp loudly and make a sound. She couldn't bear to break the peace here.

Then, a ray of light appeared not far away, between light yellow and silvery white, like the color of the full moon falling on the earth after it passes through the atmosphere on a clear night.

Esther felt that the light was very familiar, and she couldn't help but move her legs in that direction. The flower field automatically dispersed with her steps, allowing her to step on the gravel road.

Esther saw the light ball, and also saw the tall woman holding it in her hand. The fist-sized ball of light was contained in a black crystal-like sphere. The moment Esther saw it, she felt... Yes, that light has an instinct of longing to return to her body. The light above is constantly rising and falling with Esther's breathing.

"Hello..." Esther carefully looked at the woman. She was wearing a black classical dress, with stars twinkling among the layers, no different from the night sky above her head. Esther couldn't see her face clearly, but she only knew that it was a very beautiful face. A hazy and illusory barrier shrouded the woman, but Esther felt an indescribable sense of familiarity with her.

Then a name blurted out: [XXXXXXXX.]

The name was not spoken, it became silent. The moment the name was spoken subconsciously, Esther's head hurt as if it was going to explode. She let out a scream and covered herself. He knelt down on some night herbs.

The ball of light disappeared from the woman's hand. She raised her arm and tapped her fingertips in Esther's direction. The rich aroma enveloped Esther, making her head feel dizzy, but it successfully relieved it. of her pain.

"What on earth are you..."

The woman stretched out a hand towards Esther and shook her head in disapproval: "You have completely transformed yourself into a human being, Esther."

Esther took the woman's hand and stood up from the ground. The woman was not speaking Rune language, but some kind of older language. Esther realized this and subconsciously switched to that language: "I, I am a human! It may be strange, but I I’ve heard people say that extraordinary abilities exist in this world, isn’t this normal?”

The woman looked like she wanted to sigh, but in the end she couldn't help but laughed. A very gentle and tolerant smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Okay, I understand now."

[Then, where are you from?] "So, where are you from?"

[Chi wait what are you saying! ? ]

Esther couldn't help but say something in Chinese. She was so shocked that this woman could actually speak English! ?

The woman looked at Esther for a few times, and the smile on her face gradually faded: "Is that the child over there? Judging from your performance, you shouldn't be old?"

Esther immediately retorted: "I'm not young anymore, I graduated from college! I just don't know why, but my body has become smaller since I came here."

"It doesn't matter. It's like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, doesn't it?"

The very noble-looking woman in front of her actually made a small joke, and Esther understood it.

She remembered that it was a love movie. The male protagonist was an old man when he was born, and then became younger and younger as he lived. However, such changes in appearance and turbulence in life made it impossible for the male protagonist to spend life hand in hand with his lover, and was always forced to stay apart. With many regrets, until the end of his dying life, someone found the person the male protagonist loved, and this gray-haired female protagonist accompanied the male protagonist who had turned into a child through the last part of his life.

"That's not even a good thing. If I fall in love with someone who is opposite to me, it will be a tragedy." Esther rubbed her head and said distressedly.

The woman actually nodded: "If you encounter such troubles, you can pray to me, even if you just talk to me, it doesn't matter."

Hearing what the woman said, Esther's eyes widened wider and wider. She suddenly recalled where her impressions of Night Vanilla and Sleeping Flower came from. They were both frequently described in the sacred books of the Church of the Night. plant.

"You are - but why are you!? Are you the goddess of the night?"

The woman chuckled, as if Esther's shocked look made her feel particularly strange: "Yes, you know both of my real names, but I don't want you to recall them. Your memory will be revived as fate guides you, These are the exact words you told me."

"Then, what should I call you? My God, aren't you a true god? Why do you know me? I have only been in this world for a few days -"

The woman's sight was blocked by the black veil, but Esther could feel her gentle and compassionate gaze, which made Esther less excited. She felt ashamed for her overreaction just now: "Sorry, I'm just a little too surprised..."

"You can call me Heiye. Of course, if you want to call me Goddess, follow them and praise me. I'm also happy to do that."

The woman's voice sounded happy, as if she wanted Esther to do this.

It's so shameful to have such a thing mentioned in front of me! ?

Esther's face immediately turned red, and she waved her hands nervously: "I, I, I am not a religious believer! A scientist who doesn't believe in anything!"

Hei Ye was silent for a few seconds and sighed heavily: "I haven't heard this word in many years."

Esther suddenly thought of many strange places in this world, and she felt the same sadness as the night: "Do we still have a chance to go back to Earth? I still have my parents and friends, and I have a cat in my apartment... …”

Black Night was silent for a longer time this time, until Esther thought she was about to be driven away, Black Night's voice came out with sadness: "You will know in the future, after your memory recovers."

Esther nodded, speechless for a moment.

Heiye patted Esther on the head. Considering the height difference between the two, this action did not even require raising the arm completely: "If something happens, you can always ask my church for help. Do you want to leave or stay during this period?" ?”

Esther stared blankly into the night: "Stay? Live in that stone house? Will I take up too much space?"

"...That's where people are detained. There are a lot of empty rooms, so it doesn't matter."

Esther hesitated for a few seconds: "I really like the atmosphere inside that door, it's quite similar to here."

Hei Ye nodded: "Chanis Gate can stabilize your physical condition. If an accident occurs, the Nighthawks can always borrow my power to comfort you. You will be safe here, and there is no place safer than here in Tingen." place."

"Will my extraordinary power affect ordinary people?"

"Not just ordinary people, any creature that comes into contact with you will be affected. However, after being sealed by Chanis Gate, the spiritual power you unconsciously radiate will be weakened."

"But it costs a lot of money including food and accommodation, right?"

Hei Ye suppressed a smile: "It doesn't matter, this is what we agreed on, you just have to do what you want to do."

This was certainly not what they had agreed upon, but Heiye was very pleased to see Esther's "full of humanity" performance. She was innocent but worried, and panicked for others' charity. She was almost completely like the chosen one. Complete reproduction. Heiye didn't know how Esther did it, but now Esther was completely filled with the emotions, thoughts and worries of ordinary people, which even made Heiye feel more intimate.

Just like an ordinary girl of her time who had just entered society and was looking forward to the future, she believed that things would get better every day.

"Is this considered a part of the destiny guide? I don't understand why you are so kind to me..." Esther subconsciously rubbed the center of her right eyebrow. She felt unbelievable. This was simply a piece of pie-in-the-sky good news. It was so surprising that she couldn't help but wonder if there was something fishy about it.

Heiye did not answer this question. Esther suddenly felt that the dream was dissipating. Her body was erratic, wiped away by invisible force, and she began to leave here.

The last thing the night showed to Esther was that gentle and compassionate smile.

After the eyes were shrouded in darkness again, a light word came from a very far away place. It was distorted and blurred due to waking up from the dream, and Esther caught it with difficulty.

[Stay away from Amon.] "Stay away from Amon."

Esther's questions suddenly became more. She remembered this last name, which was the last name of the little bug. It had tried to lure Esther to tell other people this name as a "surname".

Is Amon behind the little bug? Why keep me away?

Esther chewed on that sentence and noticed that Kuroyoru spoke English instead of other languages.

It's a different world language that most people in this world don't understand.
