Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Hugh Dilcha was promoted to the rank of "sheriff" of Sequence 8 last month. This was also thanks to her roommate, Fors Wall, who acquired the extraordinary characteristics of the "Sheriff" from an unknown source.

But this also put Xio into debt. In order to make up for the gold pounds that Forsi advanced for herself, Xio tried her best to complete various commissions. It was not difficult for her to adapt to the life of leaving early and returning late. Being able to take one step further on the road to excellence is more practical than anything else.

What's more, after being promoted to "sheriff", Xio has made great progress in catching or tracking suspicious objects. She can be keenly aware of abnormal factors, and can even directly sense the danger hidden in others, gaining extra senses.

Although this kind of ability will be limited to the jurisdiction of the "sheriff" and the effect will be greatly reduced after leaving a familiar area, it is already quite powerful and practical for the wanted missions that Xio took over. Most people are just doing it in a small way. , not a special extraordinary person who can counter divination and tracking.

This is why, when Xiu Hui walked out of the tavern to catch his breath after inquiring about the news, he stopped the passerby who was very similar in height to "Spoon".

However, when he heard the female voice coming from under the other party's hood, Xio was still a little surprised. After all, the other party's attitude in replying was frank and gentle, and the temperament revealed in his words was incompatible with people who were struggling to make a living in the East District. This made Xio feel a little bit confused. Confuse.

There was something very strange about this strange lady. When Xio didn't pay attention to her, she could keenly detect the chaotic factors hidden in this lady. But when Xio turned his attention to her and spoke to her, the strange feeling disappeared again, as if it had never appeared. Instead, there was a little intimacy, whether it was exuded by the lady intentionally or unintentionally, which made Xio come back to his senses immediately after being briefly affected.

This is even more abnormal.

Xio was wary, but on the surface he just showed the other party the portrait of the wanted "Spoon", and then planned to say goodbye temporarily to inquire about this strange new resident.

Although Hugh has a sense of justice, she is not a passionate fool. Living in the East End has taught her the need to carefully avoid conflicts. If you don't know whether the other party is hostile, it's best not to act rashly. If you bump into other wild Extraordinary people rashly, the situation will become very embarrassing.

Especially when you can't beat it.

When the two wine bottles flew out of the room and were caught firmly by the lady, Xio confirmed this in her heart, and was even a little grateful to the drunkards inside for helping him test each other's depths.

So he made an excuse to mediate the dispute in the tavern, and Xio didn't communicate too much with this mysterious lady.

Sometimes the more you know, the harder it is to escape. It is better to pretend that nothing happened. Xio understands this truth very well.

Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to have any malicious intentions on the surface. He didn't deliberately use that move to establish his authority and didn't linger at the door of the tavern.

But just after pulling away the two fist-waving people in the tavern and scolding them, Xio immediately felt that there was a dispute in the alley next door - this was the "sheriff's" special intuition about the jurisdiction. Someone Fighting!

Thinking of the mystery of the lady just now, Xio gritted her teeth and chose to leave the tavern to take a look. At least the other party is not someone who can't communicate on the surface. Xiu needs to confirm what happened.

But what surprised Xio was that before she had even taken a few steps out of the tavern, the lady turned out of the alley carrying a "rag bag" and was heading towards the tavern.

The lady's hood had fallen down behind her head, revealing a head of soft, light blond hair, and a soft and youthful appearance that matched her voice. However, there was a bit of disgust and anger on her face, and her cheeks were slightly twitching. reddish. After seeing Xio, she even quickened her pace, approached Xio directly, and threw the unconscious guy in her hand to the ground in front of Xio.

"This is your goal, right?"

Xio looked at the man lying on the ground. Looking from the side, he could see the man's swollen eyeballs and two black moles with thin short hairs. He was quite easy to recognize. He had several black spots on his face. It was obviously the mark left by some kind of violent blow.

"That's him! Why would you..." Xio was a little confused by this unexpected situation, "Did he attack you?"

"Yes, if it weren't for the fact that you are looking for him, I don't need to keep him like this. Today is such an unlucky day, I have to leave." The lady gritted her teeth and moved her slender and fair hair. After pointing his finger, he pulled up his hood again, covering his face that looked very kind.

"Thank you!" Xio was a little happy. Listening to what this lady meant, she just wanted to go home as soon as possible, and all the power of disposal of this man was left to her.

The lady just lifted her steps and then stopped. She looked at Xio hesitantly and asked bluntly: "You - can you move him?"

Xio obviously felt that the other party had some misunderstanding because of his height: "...I can do it."

She felt looked down upon.

"Also, he won't remember what happened just now. He may have memory confusion after waking up, which is normal."

After saying this, the lady waved her hand to Xio. This time she really walked quickly into the shadow of the street corner and never looked back.

Xio vaguely guessed that this was related to the other party's ability. She stared thoughtfully at the man on the ground for a few seconds, then lifted up a corner of his long coat with her foot, revealing the raised gun holster underneath.

So she is indeed an Beyonder, probably higher than my Sequence Eight, which is why this wanted criminal didn't even have a chance to draw his gun and fight back. Or maybe her extraordinary ability is special and can cause instant imprisonment for others. It cannot be ruled out that she has magical items on her body.

But no matter from which aspect, this woman is very likely to be a dangerous person. Xio judged this, and decided to make more trips to the neighborhood recently to avoid any accidents happening to the friends who lived here.

Such dangerous people can easily cause trouble even if they don't take the initiative to cause trouble.

——

The dangerous man returned to the rented one-bedroom apartment, hung his cloak and satchel behind the door, and threw himself on the bed.

Because the movement was too casual and the bed was not big, her arm hit the wall hard, making a clear muffled sound.

Esther gasped and rubbed the painful area on the outside of her elbow vigorously.

Fortunately, there were no obvious marks on the wall. Today was indeed a very unlucky day.

Xiaowu was twisting and turning in her pocket very restlessly, so Esther had no choice but to take it out: "You seem to have woken up too early."

"What did you do before? For a moment, I seemed to be very close to death, but because you strengthened the seal, I couldn't wake up at all. That state continued in a loop for a long time." Xiao Wu's voice was cold, and it sounded cold. Full of resentment.

Esther shrank her neck guiltily. That was probably the moment when she was frightened by the other party and lost her perception of time. Although this was not what she wanted, Xiao Wu's "life" was indeed forcibly bound to her. .

"I met an extraordinary person hiding in the dark, and I don't know where he came from."

"You can describe what happened."

After Esther described the scene and her own feelings in detail, Xiao Wu quickly came up with some simple reasoning.

"There is a high probability that you will encounter an Beyonder from the 'Abyss' path."

"abyss?"

"Also known as 'Devil' or 'Criminal', the core of this extraordinary path is viciousness. According to the situation you have experienced, the other party is at least a Sequence Five 'Apostle of Desire', with the ability to manipulate and intensify other people's inner emotions and The power of desire, so the fear you have at that moment will be infinitely expanded."

"Wait for me a moment!" Esther sat on the bedside, put Xiao Wu on the pillow, quickly took out her notes, and wrote down such a long explanation.

Xiao Wu was amused by her behavior: "You can definitely keep it in your mind. Isn't it more convenient than this notebook?"

Esther also showed helplessness: "I can't help it, but that's just the way I am. If I don't think about it in advance, the things I do based on intuition will be very confusing."

"I see, your 'thinking' and 'intuition' are separated..."

Hearing the thoughtfulness in Xiao Wu's words, Esther pointed to her eyebrows and asked, "Do you think this has anything to do with that?"

"How do I know?" Xiao Wu resolutely refused to answer, "Then how did you escape from him? Devils don't have any mercy, so he actually let you go with such a good opportunity?"

"This may be the reason why you were overly influenced." Esther stared at the piece of information written in her notebook and frowned depressedly. "At that time, the light spots had a riot. Although it was not very conspicuous, they were all dealt with. Suspended in my hair in a disengaged state.”

"It seems that the other party was scared away by the 'him' in you, and it actually worked by accident. The 'Apostle of Desire' also has the ability to perceive maliciousness. He felt the huge threat that those lights might pose to him, so Evacuate decisively.”

Esther rubbed two strands of bangs, and a few light spots flew down and danced around her fingers in a daze.

"To be honest, I don't like this feeling of being inhabited. It makes me feel like I'm just...a hollowed-out tree."

“The hive is more apt.”

"Thank you so much." Esther put down her fingers, and those blank light spots immediately returned to her hair impatiently, "Can they alone have such great suppressive power on that demon?"

"Maybe it's not because of the power they contain, but when the light spots move in large numbers, they will stir up the 'subject' in your mind, allowing its breath to escape."

"This kind of light spot can also be considered a clone?"

Xiao Wu shook his head: "I'm not sure, but you can think so. But they don't show clear thinking ability, they only have the instinct to follow you and your 'spiritual intuition'."

"If I disagree with my 'gut feelings,' they are out of my control."

Esther sighed, having no doubt of it.
