Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Thomas threw the wooden box out, seemingly angry, but his strength was very small. The box rolled twice in the air and fell to the ground between the two people.

When the man pounced on the box on the ground, it was a perfectly positioned target. Esther's precise grasp briefly stole his thoughts.

And Thomas also grabbed a gray-black scroll from his waist at the moment when the man was distracted, and quickly said the ancient Hermes language to activate the spell: "Freeze!"

As the crystal clear light bloomed instantly, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and a large area of ​​ice spread out, sealing the entire end of the passage, including the stack of quite threatening explosive tubes and the gap exit covered by vines.

Naturally, this also includes the man in the middle of the ice. He is in a daze and his body is quickly covered with ice.

And Aaron's eyes suddenly turned bright red for a moment.

"Priest of Disaster", "Spiritual Storm"!

The man was already defenseless because his thoughts had been stolen. He was suddenly hit by the mental impact of a higher sequence of extraordinary abilities. His body immediately lost control and fell to the ground, falling into a dizzy state.

With this continuous cooperation, the middle-aged man didn't even shout out, and his companions outside had no way of exploring the situation inside.

Of course Esther would not let go of such an opportunity. She opened her palms and the "pale bone nails" instantly fell into her hands. Alexander had already stepped aside to make room for her.

Esther jumped up. The rest of the passage was not far, and she was close to the man in the blink of an eye. Esther complied with the desire of the "Pale Bone Nail", and the bone sword penetrated the skull from the back of the head. While causing death, it absorbed and annihilated the person's spirit body.

A patch of light scattered above Esther's head. They rushed towards the inferior explosive tubes under the ice in front of her and quickly melted on them, completely preventing the enemies outside from using magic to detonate these explosives.

"There is no way to channel." Esther reminded me.

Aaron nodded: "Let's go first."

Alexander picked up the bronze square box containing the coat of arms again. They did not wait for the member of the Secret Order on the ground to reveal his extraordinary characteristics, and were still wary of the other party's accomplices outside.

Because the enemy's number is unknown, they must be more cautious. Delaying time in the passage can easily give the opponent a second chance to detonate explosives.

Thomas was the first to climb out of the hole. The moment he stepped out of the gap with one leg, he unfolded another scroll and shouted: "Guard!"

A hemispherical light shield immediately erected at the opening outside the gap, which looked like it was formed by the condensation of the morning sun.

The other three people followed and walked out one after another. To their surprise, they were not ambushed by the enemy's backhand in the process.

"Could he be bluffing just now?" Thomas couldn't help but ask. He walked outside but didn't encounter any attacks, which made him feel like he wasted his scroll.

Alexander frowned: "No, stay vigilant. It is very likely that they gave up because of your protection."

"Perhaps we were lucky. The other party didn't have many people. They found that we were well prepared and could prevent them from blowing up the passage, so they made a judgment that the situation was more unfavorable to them." Aaron took out his small crystal again ball, holding the crystal ball in his left hand and holding the long tube revolver in his right hand.

"I believe you this time," Thomas said with a smile, all the anger he showed just now no longer exists, "as long as your misfortune does not make us unlucky again."

"Hamel, please help me get this box. I have to tidy up my backpack. I seemed to have hit something when I hit the ground just now." Alexander sighed. When he shook the shoulder strap, there would be a sound coming from the backpack. The sound of certain pieces colliding with each other.

Esther took the box handed over by Alexander, and the key coat of arms was placed inside: "Some of the skeletons in this ruins don't look that old. The Kingdom of Darkness should have existed even further back?"

Aaron answered her doubts: "The passage on the right had not collapsed when we came last time. It was destroyed when we tried to eliminate the danger. Someone should have tried to go in, but in the end only that was left. A tainted key.”

"There is also a skeleton scene." Thomas added, but after he said this without thinking, the four of them were silent for a long time, quietly waiting for Alexander to collect the broken medicine bottles in his backpack.

At this moment, another voice that felt strange to Esther suddenly sounded: "Drasco! Thomas! My old friends! Are you really here!?"

The man pushed aside the bushes, revealing a face covered in sweat. The white shirt and brown trousers on his body were in a mess, with scratches and wear everywhere, and even a little dried blood.

There is a depression in the middle of the man's nose, like a bridge that has been broken in half. The dark circles under his deep eye sockets are full of exhaustion caused by indulgence. His short blond hair is full of stains, as if it has not been taken care of for a few days.

There were obvious strangulation marks on the man's wrists and neck, which were quite glaring on his pale skin.

Esther lowered her eyes, as if she was weighing the box in her hand, but a glimmer of light passed through her eyes, and she quietly opened her perception, and no one noticed this.

Thomas spat fiercely: "Bah! Simon, you are a stingy man, it's not because you sold the information here to other guys!"

Simon's steps were frivolous, and he walked unsteadily in the direction of a few people: "You can't blame me at all! Those fucking lunatics, I almost died in their hands, just a little bit!"

Aaron's voice suddenly deepened: "Stop, don't move, you should prove yourself now, right?"

Simon's footsteps stopped quickly, his lips quivered for a moment, and then he sighed painfully: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It's right for you to doubt me... How can I prove that we talked about the wine we drank? We have no other friendship except money!"

Thomas and Aaron exchanged a look, which was basically what Simon himself would say.

Esther shook the box in her hand, raised her normal eyes again, and gave Aaron and the others a reassuring smile: "It's okay."

This time, Simon stared at her warily: "Who are you? I've never seen you before."

Esther's smile was very gentle and sweet, and she looked quite harmless. She slowed her approach to Simon: "Sorry, I can only be regarded as a temporary companion of Mr. Aaron and the others, assisting them in investigating things here. I am very concerned about those who are above. The ancient ruins from that era are quite interesting.”

After saying that, she stopped where she was and extended her open right hand to the other party in a friendly manner.

Thomas frowned, not sure what Hamel wanted to do. Alexander had no expression on his face, his eyes were indifferent but deep. Both he and Aaron were vaguely aware of Hamel's thoughts, so they didn't make any sound. .

Simon's face was full of doubts, and his eyes kept turning on the young lady and several others. Then Simon saw Aaron nodded slightly, which seemed like a hint: what this lady said was true.

Simon exhaled forcefully from his nostrils, and he also took a step forward and slowly raised his arm. The two of them got closer, and Simon seemed to be planning to shake hands with Esther in a friendly way.

However, Esther's open palm suddenly closed.

At the moment when the other person's thoughts were blank, Esther spat out three clear onomatopoeias one after another:

"Bang, bang, bang."

She had previously stolen the extraordinary ability of "air bullets" from that member of the Secret Order.

It is still within the time when the ability takes effect.

Three bloody holes appeared on Simon's body almost in no particular order: his forehead, heart and abdomen.

After the two approached each other with their own thoughts, the distance was too close, leaving Simon no time to dodge. He was still in a trance caused by the idea of ​​stealing and failed to successfully activate the "Paper Man Stand".

Due to the fatal blow to the brain, he didn't even have a chance to transfer the wound.

The moment the bullet was fired, Esther stepped back and protected the square box in her arms. However, due to the distance problem, blood droplets like splashing ink still fell on her body, turning half of her face red.

Esther's expression did not change, and the smile on her face did not disappear. She raised her hand and wiped the blood on her cheek with the back of her hand to prevent it from being blurred.

Esther looked back and saw that Aaron and the other three had frightened expressions on their faces. Even Alexander rarely showed a bit of surprise, but he soon returned to his normal state.

Esther blinked in confusion: "I remember you said Simon was not an extraordinary person."

"Yes...no, you, just..."

Thoma simply lost the ability to organize language. On the one hand, Hamel did not communicate with them at all and acted without authorization. After all, she did not have a tacit understanding with a few people and could not put on a temporary play.

On the other hand...the smile on her face stained with blood still did not completely disappear.

It looks extremely scary.

Aaron's expression quickly regained his composure, and he nodded to Esther: "Yes, but I didn't notice anything unusual about him when I turned on my spiritual vision. How did you find out?"

Esther stared at "Simon" a few steps away. He was lying face up on the ground, still maintaining that dazed look. More and more bright red spread out from under him and flowed through the nearby grass. Leaves and soil.

The midday sun penetrates the branches and casts a patch of light above the head.

Esther finally realized that her performance was a bit inappropriate, and her smile gradually disappeared: "Sorry, I can't tell you this."

When she quietly activated her perception while no one was paying attention, the outline of "Simon" became extremely blurry. She could only identify it "visually", but Esther didn't find anything too unusual.

But she smelled something delicious about this person, like a very appetizing hot and sour soup.

Esther raised her hand again and wiped the blood on her face twice. She was afraid that she couldn't help but lick the warmth on her lips.

When she thought about having such an impulse in her heart, even if it was just a fake smile, she couldn't show it off at all.
