Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

"So let's stick to pork. Do you want celery?"

"Of course, I didn't choose. Have you tried the taro filling? I think it's pretty good."

"So you were serious when you said Strawberry Cream!?"

Esther laughed guiltily a few times, and despite Klein's strange gaze, she accidentally crushed a corner of the pudding under the spoon: "I'm not that serious, I'm just curious about the taste...just celery! Classic taste, That’s it!”

Klein also scooped a spoonful of pudding and put it in his mouth. Although the caramel taste was too mellow and made it a bit greasy, he didn't hate the sweetness: "Speaking of which, I haven't answered the question you asked before. Woolen cloth."

"What?"

Klein put down the spoon, raised the goblet of ginger beer towards Esther, and raised it: "I've been promoted!"

Esther was very happy for him. She also raised her glass of ginger beer and clinked the glasses with Klein: "Congratulations, great detective! So you are now Sequence Six - what is Sequence Six?"

"'Faceless Man', do you want to see what you can do?"

"Of course! It sounds like some kind of face change? From a circus to a theater troupe." Esther unconsciously bit the spoon in her hand twice and stared at Klein expectantly. After realizing that she was making a fool of herself, Esther , she quickly put it down again.

Klein put his right hand in front of his face, imitating the Peking Opera face change he had seen on the screen, shook his hand and shook his head, and at the same time activated the "faceless man" transformation ability, changing his appearance in an instant.

"It's exactly the same..." Esther was dumbfounded as she looked at Leonard's ruthless and handsome face, including Klein's well-timed smile, which perfectly restored the temperament of her old colleague.

Klein turned his head and wiped his face again. This time, Frye's cold and gloomy face appeared. He lowered his head slightly, resembling Frye's troubled expression as he hesitated over the lunch menu.

Esther covered her mouth and laughed muffledly.

Klein used his arms to cover his face from bottom to top. Under his sleeves, Dunn's gray and deep eyes were exposed, including his high forehead hairline.

Esther's eyes widened, and a little water flowed through her eyes, but her smile became happier and happier, making the fleeting sadness seem like an illusion: "This ability is so amazing! Could it be possible to become a woman? Is that okay too?”

Klein nodded vigorously. When he raised his head again, his entire face and hair had changed. Brown wavy hair was scattered on the back of his head. His bright smile was sweet and enthusiastic, as if the real Roxanne was sitting there. Across the table, he winked at Esther.

Esther let out a whimpering laugh: "It's really an amazing ability, really..."

Klein covered his face with his palms one last time, then moved away.

[First meeting, nice to meet you, Li Xing. ]

What appeared in front of Esther was a young man with yellow skin and dark brown eyes and short black hair. His facial features were not distinctive, he was relatively gentle and reserved, and there were some bags under his eyes.

Of course, he is not handsome or stunning, just a very ordinary face, full of familiarity and intimacy from his hometown.

Esther finally couldn't hold it back any longer, and two strings of tears rolled out of the corners of her eyes, dripping and dripping onto the table. She stood up, crossed the table, and stretched out her hand to the young man:

[Nice to meet you too, Comrade Zhou Mingrui. ]

The two hands were gently clasped together.

——

"Also, it's not just your face that can change." Klein has now returned to Sherlock Moriarty's bearded face and is putting away the tea set.

"Huh? What else is there?" Esther put the washed and wiped dishes back into the cupboard, closed the cupboard door after hearing this, stood up and turned to Klein.

Hearing the "crackling" sound of his joints lengthening, Klein suddenly grew half a head taller, reaching a height of over 1.8 meters.

Esther's expression was shocked at first, and then her nose wrinkled with dissatisfaction, revealing a ferocious look like eating half a worm from an apple. Her eyes gradually became gloomy, and green light almost appeared in them:

"Why!? Why can the 'Faceless Man' grow taller? I want this ability too!"

She was practically wailing, not hiding her jealousy.

Klein coughed twice and consoled him, "You're actually not too short, really."

"Why don't you get shorter before you say this to me."

Klein suppressed a smile and regained his increased height, but Esther always suspected that he had retained those two centimeters, and the more he looked at it, the more something was wrong.

"Have you really changed back?"

Klein just smiled and looked away, mentioning another thing he was thinking about before:

"Speaking of which, I plan to meet my friends tonight, who are also Beyonders. We are going to stop someone from provoking the evil spirits in an underground ruins. There shouldn't be any danger, but I think if there is one more mid-sequence It will be better if the Extraordinary comes with you.”

In fact, Klein had performed divination on the gray mist earlier, and "bringing Esther to participate in the operation" made the crystal pendulum give the answer of rotating clockwise like a fan, so Klein decided to call her.

On the other hand, Klein also wanted to introduce Esther to Sharon and Maric as an introduction, and see if he could ask them to help Esther create a fake identity. Klein planned to go overseas under a false identity, and he also happened to help Esther solve the problem of "long-term black account". He was very considerate.

Of course Esther didn't have any objections: "Okay, I'll go with you, as long as your friends don't mind."

"I have teamed up with them several times. They are all very trustworthy people. Mainly to let you get to know each other." Although Klein also guessed that Esther would not refuse, she decisively trusted him and still let him Very pleased.

But Esther smelled something unusual in it: "Are you going to leave Backlund for a long time?"

Klein was once again amazed by his fellow villager's keenness, but he himself was not sure of the answer to this question: "I may go to sea next year to look for clues to my promotion. Then we probably won't see each other for a long time."

"That's it..."

Esther was a little disappointed, but she would never dissuade Klein just because she wanted to see him or was worried about his safety. That wasn't for his own good, it was just pure selfishness.

So in the end, Esther just nodded: "Then you must be careful."

Klein looked at her helplessly: "So how should I contact you? Until now, you have been the one looking for me, and there is no contact information between us."

Esther also frowned in distress: "This is indeed a big problem."

At this time, Esther was thinking, it would be great if Klein was also in the Tarot Society, and she could also ask Mr. Fool to be a sounding board, although she didn't respect that kind god a bit.

And Klein is also having a war between heaven and man in his heart, and is having a hard time whether to tell Esther the identity of "The World".

If she told her, the previous transaction between the two of them in Gray Mist would have seemed extremely stupid, and there would be a risk of exposing Klein's close relationship with The Fool. But if they don't tell Esther, there will be an extreme lack of communication between the two. Once they go to sea, it means completely losing news about their hometown.

Just as Esther wasn't worried about Klein going to sea, Klein wasn't worried about letting Esther stay alone in Backlund.

unless……

"Will your friends always stay in Backlund?"

Esther's idea was different from Klein's. She thought of using Klein's Beyonder friends as intermediaries.

Klein also quickly understood what Esther meant. He nodded: "It should be, we will ask later. If they are always here, we can ask them to help keep the exchange of letters."

"Then shall we set off now?"

"Okay," Klein put on his coat and his midi-high hat, "don't forget to bring your umbrella."

"I won't forget it. I'm not that stupid."

"You almost forgot last time."
