Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

"Are your pirate friends so heartless?"

Esther shook her head in amusement. When she saw someone turn the muzzle of their gun upside down and pull the trigger on their "companions" without hesitation, she realized that their spirits were more fragile than she expected.

Perhaps this is the more real situation for ordinary pirates.

The pirates Esther had come into contact with before actually didn't have much "pirate style", and were more close to sea adventurers, from the "Clover" to the "Future", including Daniz.

But since Daniz doesn’t know me now, there’s nothing he can do if I steal his ability to set fires for fun, right? Ha ha……

Esther looked at Vika for a moment, and because this man still had some "conscience", she did not directly steal his thoughts and memories.

"I can take you with me, but is this appropriate?"

"Of course it's suitable! It's absolutely suitable!" Vika agreed hastily.

"Aren't you afraid that I will use you as a sacrifice?" Esther deliberately lifted her cloak to intimidate the pirate with trembling legs. "Or maybe I will kick you out when I encounter a monster?"

Vika shook his head and nodded tremblingly, but bit his lip and said nothing, making it unclear what he was thinking.

Just when Esther sighed, Vika suddenly took a step forward and knelt on the ground with a plop.

Esther stole the distance and appeared from the side in an instant. She was a little shocked by this man's spineless performance.

Wei Ka didn't know that the place where he was kneeling was empty. His forehead was on the ground, and the collar on the back of his neck was soaked with cold sweat:

"Please! As long as I can survive! No matter what, I don't want to die here!"

Esther's demeanor gradually calmed down. Vika was just asking her for help in order to survive. In order to survive, she didn't even think that this behavior could be evaluated as shameful.

But as the other person being asked for help, Esther felt quite complicated:

"I understand, since you think so...get up first, let's go to the beach, please lead the way."

At the end, she added: "Just think of it as a deal. You lead the way, and I will take you away."

Vika was so happy that he almost cried. He couldn't wait to get up from the ground and was glad that he finally made the choice: "Okay, okay! Thank you!"

Esther rubbed her right eyebrow in distress. If she had known that this pirate had such a weak character, she might as well have been parasitizing him and taking him away.

The two of them didn't take a few steps before they met the pirate who had been knocked unconscious by Andrew before. Esther still remembered him. He was the first unlucky guy she had parasitized.

But judging from the fact that there are only three people left alive on the island now, it seems that this person is not simply unlucky.

What is the law of conservation of luck... Esther pointed at the bald young man lying unconscious on the ground, even tending to snore:

"A small question, what is his character like?"

Vika's lips touched for a long time, and finally she told the truth honestly, not daring to hide anything: "We are a pirate ship, madam, there is no such thing as character..."

I don’t know if it was because of his previous mental breakdowns, but Vicat showed some self-abasement calmness, and even pointed to the gun butt on his waist without concealment:

"I have also killed people, ladies, ordinary people, those on merchant ships. I have also fought with other pirates with the captain. Nath has never been a very peaceful place.

"I miss Bayam a lot of the time. Although mixed-race people are not much better there, as long as they believe in Poseidon, the ostracism they receive will be much better."

Esther smiled slightly and did not respond to Vika's words. She just handed the satchel to him: "Please take it for me, thank you."

Vika took the bag respectfully, but didn't know what the other party was going to do.

Esther's figure gradually blurred, and then Vika felt a flash in front of her eyes. The red cloak fell to the ground, and the person below had disappeared.

"F-ma'am!? You--"

Vika looked around in panic, and then saw the bald young man on the ground gradually opening his eyes, turning over quickly and getting up neatly.

"Valery? Are you awake?"

"Don't panic, Vika, he's not awake."

Valery's eyes were indifferent and calm, and Vika instantly saw the shadow of the lady.

Valery moved his limbs, raised his arms curiously, and squeezed the bulging muscles on his arms. This scene made Vika's face look weirder, and the panic of being taken over his body resurfaced in his heart.

Valery grabbed the red cloak from the ground and put it on his shoulders, and then took the satchel from Vika: "Thank you, your captain's body is still nearby? Or should I say our captain?"

Seeing Vika's increasingly ugly face, Valery showed a soft smile that was completely inconsistent with his face, making Vika feel unspeakable discomfort.

Vika began to wonder again whether it was a good thing to survive like this, and whether he would go completely crazy before reaching other islands and completely finding a way out.

Valery seemed to see what Vika was thinking: "Don't worry, I told you, this is just a deal. When we get to Nas, which is the closest to here, you can go wherever you want. I'm going to Baia." Damn it.”

"Okay, okay..." Vika hurried forward and led Valery towards the captain's body.

Valery even raised his hand and touched his bald head twice, muttering in a low voice: "It turns out that a completely bald head feels like this..."

Vika's steps began to tremble again.

The two of them arrived at Andrew's side not long after. Valery casually took off the red cloak and threw it towards the cooling body.

Then, as if he just remembered, he reminded the person next to him: "You might want to turn around."

Vika decisively turned her feet 180 degrees, closed her eyes and covered her ears and squatted down: "I didn't see anything! I didn't hear anything!"

Esther smacked her lips in a funny way, although she felt that Vika had received enough mental stimulation today, so she was considerate of him and did not force him to watch the next scene to establish his authority.

However, Vika seemed to have misunderstood her meaning and regarded it as another kind of intimidation, which made Esther a little confused. Was she acting that scary?

The cloak greedily absorbed the flesh and blood, and its "eating speed" was very fast. It only took more than ten seconds to lick the skeleton clean.

"Eh..." After picking up the cloak, Valery, who was parasitized by Esther, squatted next to the bones. In the end, he only picked out guns, bullets, and a long knife.

After the devouring sound stopped, Vika carefully turned his head, but still took two steps back, for fear that the red evil cloak would suddenly jump up and eat him alive.

Valery glanced at Vika: "This, your captain, he is also an extraordinary person, right?"

"Yes, are you looking for this thing?" Vika didn't dare to hide it and took out the fist-shaped "gem" he picked up before from his arms.

"Forget it, just take it. These things are usually materials used by extraordinary people to advance." Valery stood up and motioned for Vika to continue leading the way.

When Vika heard this, she felt her heart surge: "Then if I also want to get such power as you..."

"You are overthinking. The abilities of extraordinary people are also different. And if there is no formula, if you eat this thing raw, the probability of ordinary people dying is much higher than going crazy."

Valery's voice was very deep, completely inconsistent with the gentle tone of explanation, which made Vika feel uncomfortable no matter how he listened.

He took the thing back into his arms again, with regret on his face: "No way..."

Out of good intentions, Esther also gave a reminder: "And it is likely to mutate, so you'd better find a way to seal it."

"Then can I give it to you?"

Esther had a question mark in her mind, but of course she would not refuse: "Yes, if I sell it to you later, I can also give you part of the reward."

"No, this is your trophy from the beginning," Vika walked faster and faster because of her guilty conscience, "I took it secretly, I..."

"Don't worry, just like we agreed, I will take you out of here."

Vika didn't say anything more, and handed over the extraordinary characteristic. Esther, who was parasitic on Valery, put it into the box of the satchel, followed closely behind Vika, and the two of them continued walking towards the coast. go.

Esther noticed that Vika's expression was a little gloomy in addition to awe, so she secretly stole Vika's idea.

Valery cleared his throat: "Do you really want to become an extraordinary person?"

When he heard this question, Vika suddenly realized that the other party really had the ability to retrieve the thoughts in his mind. He swung his arms twice in a panic, and then lowered his head in frustration:

"Yes, I followed them out of Bayam because I saw Andrew showing strength beyond ordinary people when he was fighting with others. I envied him being so powerful, and I also wanted to become that powerful."

Valery narrowed his eyes and didn't speak for a long time.

It wasn't until the two of them walked out of the woods and approached the beach that was still covered with messy footprints that Esther spoke again:

"Being strong also comes with a price."

Looking at Vika's expression, he had different opinions on this, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. But then he thought that the other party could "read minds", and Vika turned his head away in fear.

"If you are determined to face a world of madness, chaos, and greater fear, the door to this path will always be open to you."

Vika raised his head again and stared at the face he was used to seeing, but he saw a completely different peaceful expression from above. Valery's brown eyes were shining with marks that he couldn't understand, but they attracted Vika. Ka couldn't look away.

By some strange coincidence, Vika showed the courage he did not have before and answered softly: "I have such determination, I don't care..."

Esther was silent for two seconds, then showed a generous smile on Valery's face: "Okay! Since you have such determination, I have a complete potion formula here, which is the beginning of entering the extraordinary world. The sequence Nine. I also want to remind you that, like all potions, it also has certain dangers."

Vika nodded vigorously.

"Then remember, the name of this formula is 'Monster'..."
