Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

It was the afternoon on the day of the Backlund Great Smog.

The vision in the sky in the East District fell into the eyes of people throughout the city.

The light tears through the haze, revealing the sky and the sun. What else can this scene be but a miracle?

In the neighborhoods that were less affected, people began to pray to the gods they believed in, especially because the yellow-black mist was extremely terrifying. Many people began to feel sick, making them even more frightened.

The Church of the Goddess of Night, the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, and the Church of the God of Storms have all entered a state of emergency.

Because of the highly toxic haze that suddenly spread in the factory area, dock area, and east area, some official extraordinary people have been dispatched to evacuate and rescue the people. There are also many seriously harmful sealed objects locked under each cathedral. The manpower assigned to the East End was quite limited.

Several teams already in the East District have long lost contact.

When the light was on, outside forces could no longer interfere with the East District. It seemed to be briefly isolated and formed into an independent space.

Fortunately, this situation only lasted a few minutes.

The residents did not understand what such a situation was, but the three archbishops still remembered similar situations. Even if the Extraordinaries under his command have forgotten everything that happened at that time, the sealed confidential files will not be deceptive or fake.

This is the same power that appeared in the East District some time ago, but this time, it showed itself more unscrupulously, and even launched a counterattack against the haze that eroded the life of the East District.

The three major righteous churches unanimously used the strongest sealed objects they could activate. Because of the appearance of the abnormal light, Archbishop Saint Anthony of the Church of the Night made up his mind and directly activated the 0-17 "Secret Angel".

The highest-level secret related to 0-17 is that it can be used as a vessel for the goddess of the night.

Soon, the East End's glow faded.

Strong winds swept through Backlund, and heavy rain followed, submerging all the deadly remaining fog.

Bridge South District.

In the "Teana Cafe", the woman who was listening to the red-haired young man playing the piano randomly raised her head. She had Bailang's unique dark skin and colorful feather pendants hanging in her ears.

The moment she turned her head unconsciously and noticed the color of the sky changing, she yelled and rushed out of the cafe with only a few customers: "Richie! Come out quickly!"

The young man with red curly hair and freckles stopped trying to harm other people's hearing. He pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and followed the woman out of the door. Almost everyone came to the street, and their eyes were unconsciously caught. Attracted by the light in the sky, everyone put down what they were doing and stared quietly in that direction.

Soon, Thomson Monette, the owner of the cafe, and Martha Monette, the proprietress' wife, also came out and stared blankly at the strange celestial phenomenon, their expressions gradually changing from surprise to peace.

Rich Anderson looked around at the unanimous expressions on the faces of the people around him, and always felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.

Candela Gonzalez, who was standing next to Rich, suddenly grabbed his arm and dragged him towards the outer edge of the crowd next to him.

"Candra? S-slow down!"

Dark-skinned Candela lowered her voice: "I just saw Norn! Norn Murphy!"

Richie also lowered his voice and looked around in shock: "Isn't he wanted by the police for participating in evil? Isn't he wanted by the police? We were interrogated for several days at that time!"

Candela and Richie rushed quickly, pushing past several passers-by who were staring intently at the sky, and got into a small alley.

"Norn! Wait!" After Rich shouted, he realized that the young man opposite who used to be a teacher in the East District did not continue to run away.

Norn Murphy was wearing a brown double-breasted windbreaker. His left hand was on the lead soft hat on his head, and he took off his hat to the two of them: "I'm sorry, I don't have much time to reminisce. I just want to ask you to do it for me." I say hello to Mrs. Romano and thank her for taking care of me these past few years."

Richie walked forward angrily. His action made Norn take two steps back: "What happened to you? You left without saying a word! When the police came and told us that you were involved in cult activities, we I was almost scared to death!”

Noen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, you should be the only one who is scared. I know each of you, Richie."

Candela mentioned another thing: "Norn, is the disharmonious feeling that remains in Apartment No. 7 because of what you did? Is that it?"

Noen shook his head: "I don't know, but..."

His gaze turned to the sky. Although it was blocked by the building, the other two knew that he was looking in the direction of the East District, where strange lights were dancing through the sky.

"Maybe we shouldn't know, that would be good for us all. The singing voice of 'Zoya' is really wonderful. Even if it is destined to be forgotten, I really want to listen to it again..."

Norn took two steps back again.

Candela noticed the movements under his feet: "Wait! Please explain clearly!"

Noen suddenly rushed towards the corner deep in the alley. As soon as he was out of sight of Candela and Richie, his figure blended into the darkness in the corner, crawled along the darkness, and entered the nearby sewer entrance.

Kandra and Richie ran around the corner, only to see a high wall a few meters away.

This is a dead end.

Lily of the Valley Street, in front of Apartment No. 7.

Mrs. Romano looked up at the changes in the sky, her face gloomy.

Suddenly, as if she felt something in her heart, she turned back and looked at the flower bed at hand.

The sunflower, which was a full head taller than the plant next to it, was withering, its leaves and petals shrinking and drying rapidly.

Mrs. Romano stretched out her hand and tremblingly took down the dried flower plate full of melon seeds. It only took a few seconds for the remaining part to become completely black and rotten, and soon fell into the soil.

"Mother Goddess, what on earth is this..."

Mrs. Romano held the flower plate in one hand and grasped the Holy Symbol of Life hanging on her chest with the other hand.

She looked at the haze in the sky that was completely opposite to the breath of life, and knew that she would be very busy in the next period of time.

Earl Hall's Mansion, Queens.

"Justice" Audrey Hall has been waiting anxiously for the results after telling her mother about "Chick".

She stood by the window and saw the strange fog that swept half of Backlund. Naturally, she also saw the gentle and clear light. Audrey couldn't help but cover her mouth, watching in shock as the light continued to tear through the haze. mutation.

The light gave her a very familiar feeling. She had seen it before, and with the powerful observation ability brought to her by being an "audience", Audrey easily remembered where she had seen similar light.

That was the ball of light hanging on the table of the Tarot President. She could see a similar light every time a Tarot meeting was held! Could this be a miracle from the hands of Mr. Fool! ?

This made Audrey even more uneasy. Could it be that the impact of this disaster was so great that Mr. Fool could not bear it and directly came to save the residents of Backlund?

But her heart was also full of gratitude, and she was glad that the Mr. Fool in her mind had the kindness that matched his power. Sure enough, her view of Mr. Fool had been correct all along!

Audrey leaned down and hugged Susie tightly, praying silently in her heart. When the light faded, she was very reluctant to let go, but the storm that soon swept to the east and the heavy rain calmed down Audrey's mood. .

I don’t know what the situation is like in the east. Why hasn’t my father come back yet?

hope everything is fine……

Joe Wood District.

Forsi was lying on the sofa, holding a small glass of red wine, lazily discussing New Year's plans with Xio, but this was limited to verbal chatting. Her plans were delayed until the end, and she often just "do whatever comes to mind." ".

Xio is sorting out the commissions at hand. Because the New Year is approaching, the number of commissions has become smaller. However, because of the many materials needed for future promotions, Xio dare not relax completely.

Suddenly, Forsi felt something in her mind. She sat up from the sofa with a sudden movement, which made Xio startled.

"What's wrong?"

The wine in Forsi's hand swirled in the wall of the glass and almost spilled. She quickly drank the rest, then quickly walked to the window and looked out.

"Hugh, look over there, there..."

Forsi pulled Xio to the window in shock, and Xio was stunned by the scene in the sky: "What is that haze? Is this, such light also an extraordinary power? Oops, that direction seems to be the East District!"

Xio was startled and subconsciously ran towards the door, but Forsi grabbed his arm: "Calm down! With our sequence, do you think you can compete with the Extraordinary who caused such a celestial phenomenon?"

Xio gritted his teeth reluctantly: "That's right, but what exactly is going on?"

Forsi shook her head in confusion, but that light seemed a bit familiar. Where had she seen it before?

"I hope the official Beyonders can hurry up. There are still so many people in the East District..."

Xio stood next to Forsi, looking up at the gloomy sky outside the window with her, both of them full of worry.

The outskirts of Backlund.

Azik Eggers, who was exiled by the enemy, traveled through the spiritual world and returned to Klein again, and handed over the sealed "Creeping Hunger" to the past that appeared to restore Sherlock Moriarty. student.

"Mr. Azik, that light..."

Klein looked in the direction of Backlund. The light appeared when he was being chased by Mr. A, and even made Mr. A briefly stop following him.

But now, it is disintegrating into points of light, turning into faint stars, disappearing into the gray sky of Backlund.

However, what made Klein a little disappointed was that Azik also shook his head: "I don't know what it is. I can feel that the nature of its power is quite special, and it seems to have some kind of connection with the spiritual world."

Perhaps seeing that Klein's expression was so bad, Azik added a few more words: "Before you reach a certain level of strength, it is best not to investigate rashly. Even if there are some hidden existences in the spirit world, even if they are not malicious, they are likely to let people know. People who receive relevant information are contaminated.”

Klein nodded: "Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Azik, I will be careful."

After Mr. Azik left, Klein used the ability of the Faceless Man to change his appearance and found a hotel in a nearby town to check into.

Of course he recognized that light. Klein had seen exactly the same thing on Esther and above the gray mist.

He did not reveal his inner worries to Mr. Azik.

Klein only hoped that the source of that vision was not caused by Esther's loss of control.

He first changed into dry clothes. Because he was chased by Mr. A earlier, Klein was forced to jump into the Tasok River to escape. He was also affected by the plague. At this time, he had a fever and runny nose due to a cold, and his throat was itchy. Feel uncomfortable.

He spread the soaked banknotes on the table and waited for them to dry naturally. After that, he built a spiritual wall and was busy with the ritual of sacrificing the "creeping hunger" to the gray mist. When he was ready, he He quickly walked four steps backwards and recited the mantra, arrived above the gray mist, and took out the newly obtained gloves.

However, Klein was not in a hurry to investigate it, because he first noticed something strange about the light ball above his head.

It's so dim that it barely shines anymore.

As soon as Klein raised his hand, the dark ball of light fell obediently into his palm. The glass-like transparent shell was covered with cracks, as if it had suffered a strong impact, but because there were no completely damaged gaps on the outside, Therefore, the active filling of gray fog has not yet been triggered.

Klein tentatively pulled out a small amount of gray mist that he could pull, and let it wrap around the outside of the light ball. The light ball became slightly brighter, constantly switching between light and darkness, as if breathing hard, trying to absorb what it could The power of recovery.

The citrine pendulum hung from Klein's right wrist. In his left hand, he still held the ball of light that was covered with a "lampshade" in the black mist. He silently recited "Backlund's light is related to Esther" seven times.

After getting a fairly certain answer, Klein changed the language of divination:

"Esther's life is not in danger now."

Although the pendulum was rotating clockwise, the amplitude was so small that it seemed to be swinging from side to side. This shocked Klein and made him perform another divination: "Esther is in trouble."

This time, the pendulum rotated crazily clockwise.

If it were not above the gray fog, such a violent divination phenomenon might cause Citrine to be thrown out.

Klein did not try dream divination. He knew that it would have no effect on the light ball.

Is there any way I can help Esther? Klein racked his brains to think of countermeasures, and once again placed the pendulum still in front of him, silently reciting:

"I should go find Esther and help her out."

He opened his eyes and saw the divination results of the pendulum spinning crazily.

Counterclockwise, negative, foreshadowing great danger and conflicts that are difficult for him to face.

Klein clenched his fist, then quickly put down his hand weakly, staring at the ball of light on his left hand.

"Isn't there any way to help her..."

He asked himself softly, but unexpectedly received a response from the light ball. A halo of light swayed from it, causing Klein to subconsciously sit upright from the high-backed chair.

He sensed some kind of "sound" coming from the light ball. No matter what was sealed inside, it or it clearly told Klein:

[Ordered. ]

Klein was so shocked that he almost jumped up because the language he was responding to was in Chinese, the language he was most familiar with! He also subconsciously asked the ball of light in Chinese:

[Do you know where Li Xing is? Can you help her! ? ]

But this time Klein did not receive any response. He tried switching back to Loen and Giant languages, but the light ball no longer gave him any feedback. This made Klein excited but also disappointed.

Is it an accident? It shouldn't be a coincidence. There is no such thing as a coincidence. The most likely thing is that there is a special connection between this light ball and Esther, so when Esther does face a crisis, it also hopes to give a helping hand, so it borrows Got my order?

Because the gray fog absolutely suppresses it, it cannot act autonomously, and I must order it as the "gray fog master". But why does it not respond to the following questions?

Klein thought for a moment and had an answer in his mind. After all, he was not the real "Fool" of the gods now, and his control over the gray mist was limited. He could not force the ball of light to do anything.

But he is now basically certain that this light ball is sealing the power belonging to "Zoya", so that the owner of the gray mist can also use it.

I just hope it can really help Esther and help the fellow villagers get out of trouble as soon as possible.
