Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

The emotions originating from "Zoya" did not last long, and after just a few minutes, all the abnormalities evoked by him disappeared completely.

Living silently for a while, it's like pretending to be a corpse. Esther complained like this in her heart, no longer caring whether "Zoya" would hear it.

She also felt uncomfortable because of "Zoya's" emotions, so she just used these words to vent her inexplicable anger and annoyance.

Skylark blinked hard, squeezing away the tears that blurred his vision, and stared at the golden scene outside the window.

There seemed to be many voices echoing outside, but to Esther, those low or high-pitched whispers were all vague, as if separated by thick walls, and she could not identify their meaning.

But Esther could sense the power contained in those voices, and her "spiritual intuition" was buzzing like a bee.

Is this the babble that "Zoya" has isolated? They feel really dangerous to me. Has anything tragic happened in this sea area? "Zoya" seems to have a lot of thoughts on this...

Whenever Esther looked towards the horizon, she would have a strong impulse to see further away. She could feel some kind of distant call, which made her want to fly straight to the deepest part of the world and pursue the source of that call.

But Esther didn't move. The skylark just squatted at the window in a daze, with the feather clusters on its head emitting a faint light.

The "Future" was still driving forward, and Esther heard a noise outside the door. Skylark immediately turned back and wanted to fly to the ground to collect the things that fell out of the satchel.

During the previous jolt, Esther's satchel was not completely closed, and the harmonica, maracas, and the Holy Emblem of the Night were all thrown out of it and scattered on the floor.

But as soon as the skylark flew into the air, it suddenly folded its wings and fell uncontrollably. Esther watched helplessly as the ground got closer and closer, but she couldn't control her stiff body.

There was a huge gasping sound outside the window, which directly covered the entire "Future" and rang in everyone's ears.

The sound was like a towering giant sleeping in an endless nightmare, so that every breath revealed pain, conveying the dreamer's uneasiness to all listeners.

"Crack", Skylark fell straight to the ground.

Esther wanted to call for help, wanted to struggle, but was unable to make any move. As she listened to the sounds coming from outside, her eyes were gradually covered by a burst of soft light.

The intense fear made Esther open her mouth, but no sound came out. She was gradually losing her perception of the outside world.

The sound of gasping outside the window continued to surround the sea area, and the "Future" began to turn its sails. It seemed that someone had given an order for the crew to speed up and avoid the ruins in the direction of travel.

There was a buzzing sound in the room, and Skylark's trembling body suddenly calmed down.

The little bird rolled over from the ground and stood up firmly, then flapped its wings and headed straight for the open window to fly out.

A flame suddenly burst into flames inside the house.

Gehrman Sparrow's stern face was revealed. The deep brown eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses were cold, and you could vaguely glimpse the raging anger hidden underneath.

The moment Klein landed, he had already firmly grasped the skylark in his palm.

"Where do you want to go?"

Klein's tone was very cold, and he could feel the bird's heart beating against his palm through the warm feathers.

"I'm not going anywhere." Skylark said. Although his voice was similar to Esther's, it was more childish and cold.

The bird tilted its head, without any emotion in its eyes.

This action made Skylark reveal the radiant lines under his eyes. Those lines with constantly flowing light intersect with each other to outline the symbol of a circle of stars.

In Klein's occult knowledge, only the symbol representing "destiny" is partially similar to it, but completely different. He has never seen such a mark.

Klein wanted to hold on tighter, but he was afraid of actually hurting the skylark. He stared coldly at the bird in his hand.

"boom!"

Without anyone touching it, the window in this room was suddenly closed, leaving only fragments of sunlight filtering through the glass and shining on Klein's body.

He ignored the window that closed automatically, but stared at Yunque's indifferent gaze, and raised a corner of his mouth:

"Zoya."

Skylark looked back at Klein indifferently and did not respond to the title.

——

minutes ago.

Due to the violent shaking of the "Future" after it fell into the ravine and was thrown up by the waves, the restaurant was in a mess. Most of the edible items had been rubbed on the ceiling or the floor, and cream-colored footprints were everywhere.

Klein immediately noticed the change in the sunlight outside the window. He walked to the window and saw a ruin that was mostly submerged under the sea.

Even the gray stone pillars and stones exposed on the sea are still stacked many times larger than the "Future". It is conceivable that the building should have been extremely grand, but the curved dome is now fragmented, occupying the "Future" A sea area in the direction of the No. 1 cruise ship.

Cattleya walked up to Klein and informed him of the special nature of this sea area, which forced Klein to postpone going back to the room to check on Esther's condition.

While the two were communicating about various situations in this sea area, the "Future" could not completely avoid it and gradually approached the ruins.

Then came the gasping sound that made Klein's hair stand on end.

The sound made his spiritual intuition feel strong discomfort every time he breathed in. Everyone else in the restaurant was on alert. They subconsciously grabbed the weapons at hand and moved to the window to be on guard against possible enemies.

But there are no enemies, only the breath that feels like a light on your back and a breath behind your ears.

Klein's eyes stayed on the ruins. The sound came from the hill-like stone pillars and continued to echo in the golden sea.

At this moment, "Bloodless One" Heath Doyle fell from the shadows. He hugged his head tightly and squatted on the ground in pain: "There is a corpse... there is a corpse over there!"

Is the loud gasping sound a corpse? This thought crossed Klein's mind, but what made him even more nervous was the obviously abnormal condition of this "Rose Bishop".

Esther has always had an affinity for this avenue, so will she be affected?

Klein's spiritual intuition suddenly issued a reminder, so sharp that it made his hair stand on end and he felt intense discomfort.

Cattleya's expression changed as she took off her glasses to look at the ruins, and solemnly ordered the crew in the restaurant to speed up and avoid the sea as soon as possible.

Klein was also among the people leaving the restaurant quickly. He ran all the way, separated from the others on the stairs, and quickly ran to his bedroom.

The moment Klein held the doorknob, the scene in the room suddenly flashed before his eyes: the chair that fell on the ground, the pillow that was thrown to the corner, the candle that fell from the desk to the ground, and the satchel was scattered around. The harmonica, the maracas with a concave corner and a Holy Emblem of the Night that he was all too familiar with.

There are also two skylarks - one of them is lying stiffly on the ground, motionless, only its body is trembling, and its pale eyes can be seen from the side full of panic.

The other skylark has only a hazy shadow. It is crawling on the body of the real skylark, but it is raising its head toward the window, and its whole body is emitting a soft light.

Immediately afterwards, it seemed to notice Klein's gaze, turned back alertly, and suddenly merged into the real skylark.

The moment the shadow turned its head, Klein saw strange symbols full of mystical meaning in its eyes.

There was no time to think, divine, or wait and see.

Klein instantly lit the candle wick in the room, and the flames swayed and expanded. He activated "Flame Jump" and flashed directly to the skylark.

He just raised his arm and quickly grabbed the bird that had just taken flight, restraining it from further movement.

But Klein's heart seemed to sink to the bottom of the sea, and his worst premonition seemed to be confirmed at this moment.

——

Skylark's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was parodying "Esther's" smiling eyes, but the result was very unsuccessful, and it only made Skylark's expression weird and laughable.

Of course, Klein couldn't laugh at all. The anger in his heart was cold and sharp. He tried hard to restrain himself and not let his fingers put too much pressure on Skylark's weak body.

"I know you." Skylark said.

Since Skylark didn't respond to that "call" just now, Klein didn't pay attention to this sentence.

The ship's hull was shaking slightly, getting further and further away from the ruins where the gasping sounds came from. Under Cattleya's urging, the "Future" was bypassing the "corpse" that Heath said.

Skylark twisted twice, trying to get free, but Klein's fingers didn't move at all.

The little bird had no choice but to look at him again: "Why can't I be Amon?"

"You're not." Klein made a conclusion without any intention of answering the question directly.

"The extraordinary characteristics of the 'Dream Stealer' and the 'Parasite' all come from Him, including a special projection." Skylark paused for two seconds and observed Klein's eyes without any change, "Maybe you don't know, You’re surprised too.”

"Why?"

When Klein asked this question, he did not point to any more detailed question. This is another test. He wants to see how this "Zoya" currently occupying Skylark's body will react.

Skylark struggled harder in his hand, but a reply came from his mouth, as if it was difficult to control his reaction:

"Among the many experimental results, only the shell that can be driven by relying on the 'extraordinary characteristics' as a base is the most stable——"

"experiment".

When he heard this word, Klein felt a chill in his body. According to this statement, Esther is just one of "Zoya's" experiments?

Is there anyone else?

Skylark's body suddenly began to emit light, and a noisy hum gradually sounded in its words: "I know you, her, all of you. I have witnessed your destiny, and I chose the most suitable and most likely..."

Klein's spiritual intuition gave no warning, but a patch of light suddenly bloomed from between his fingers, drowning his expressionless face.

Amidst the violent buzzing, the voice of "Zoya" suddenly interrupted.

The light converged, and the scattered light spots continued to retract into the skylark's body. The bird lay in Klein's hand with its eyes closed, and only a weak heartbeat proved that it was not dead.
