Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

When Frye and Luo Yao walked into the room, they were not affected by the strong smell of blood. They had long been accustomed to such weird scenes.

Furthermore, in such a miserable way of death in the house, only one victim suffered a mental breakdown. Others, including the hotel itself, were not too strongly affected by the extraordinary power, so they were quite lucky.

Luo Yao's eyes fell on the severed hand not far from the door. There was a lot of blood spilled nearby, and there were signs of being dragged. It was probably where the unconscious lady had been.

Was it the people at the door who dragged her out?

Frye's eyes became more gloomy, and he carefully felt the situation inside the building: "The situation is not quite right."

"Cultist?" After Luo Yao saw the victim's death, it was difficult not to make such a conjecture.

"It's very possible that all the spirits in this hotel have dispersed, including those harmless natural spirits. I can't even channel. The victim's spirit body has been completely destroyed by some external cause." Frye's brows gradually Wrinkling, he silently looked at the traces everywhere in the house.

"Check again? I'll ask Xijia to come in and collect some blood samples."

However, as soon as Luo Yao's cold words fell, there was a knock on the door outside, and then Xijia's head poked in. After quickly scanning the scene, Xijia gave up the decision to let the gentleman in:

"Do you have time to come out for a moment? Mr. Jacob said that he had seen the victim. When he went upstairs with another suspected suspect, they had an argument at the stairs."

Luo Yao looked at Frye, who quickly made a decision: "There are no clues in the room, let's go and listen to his explanation first."

Benjamin Jacob wears round glasses and has clear lake-green eyes. He is humble and polite and has a pleasant conversation. This is the first impression he usually gives to others.

The first impression he made on Esther was that he was missing a lightning-shaped scar on his head. Of course, this was Esther's problem and had nothing to do with Benjamin's appearance.

"Just call me Benjamin, Mr. Inspector, and the two ladies. As I said before," Benjamin tilted his head slightly, looking very focused on recalling what happened, "That gentleman, I don't I knew his name, but I saw the ring on the lady's finger, and when I passed by the stairwell, I saw the gentleman wearing the same ring."

"Your observations are very keen." Xijia sighed seemingly unintentionally.

Benjamin cleared his throat: "Well, it's actually because of my profession. I am also an antique dealer, so I am more sensitive to expensive things. That gentleman's clothing style is very restrained, and the most conspicuous accessory on his body is his hand. The gold ring on it.”

He reluctantly raised his head to Esther opposite: "I know it's suspicious to say this, but I also have witnesses. After that scream, the lady and her brother both saw me. I am They came out of their rooms, they live in number 10 on the third floor, and I live in number 6 on the third floor."

Esther nodded: "Yes, we did see this... Mr. Jacob come out of his room."

"Just call me Benjamin. I'm not that reserved. I don't mind." The young man smiled friendly, but soon he looked worried again, "Dear inspectors, this matter shouldn't be that simple, right? I haven't yet I went inside and looked at it, but several other gentlemen told me that the conditions inside were quite horrific.”

Frye nodded with a heavy face: "I would like to ask who beat this lady out of the house?"

Benjamin and Viscount Aude did not move, still looking at Frye who asked. Only Rabbit subconsciously turned to look at Esther. Esther smiled reassuringly at Rabbit and stood up from the unconscious lady:

"Can you take a step to speak?"

Seeing Esther say this, Frye, Xijia and Luo Yao exchanged looks.

Then Frye and Luo Yao followed Esther to the end of the passage, while Sijia, as another Sequence Seven, stayed next to the other three "ordinary citizens" and asked them further about the situation.

After learning the basic characteristics of the other man from Benjamin, Sika asked Inspector Toler next to him to write down all of them, and then use these clues to track down the suspect.

Esther took Frye and Luo Yao through the corner of the corridor and walked to the end. For ordinary people, their lowered voices can no longer be heard from such a distance.

Then Esther fumbled with her satchel, and the next moment two guns were pointed at her.

Esther looked at the two quite alert "Nighthawks" without hesitating to speak.

Because she still had the impression of the former team member in her mind, Esther was not aware of her actions, which looked like she was trying to push the person away before attacking.

It was Esther who walked into the house and brought the woman out. The guests in the corridor outside could see it very clearly. Frye always remembers that when they talked about this, they felt incredible at the calmness of "that gentle lady".

This also makes Esther quite suspicious - she also has the opportunity to have close contact with everything in the house, and Fry even suspects that the nearby spirits may be affected by her.

"Wait! Don't rush to shoot, don't do anything," Esther had to slow down her hand and slowly took her hand out of the satchel.

Because of his position, Frye got closer and could see more clearly: "Show the thing in your hand."

For anyone else, his gloomy temperament and stiff tone would probably easily make the other person feel threatened - but Esther just smiled and spread her palms.

It was a silver Holy Emblem of the Night.

Frye and Luo Yao simultaneously remembered the telegram from the Holy Church, because that telegram specifically requested to be shown to all "serving members" of Tingen, so they both remembered the content firmly.

Contains a special announcement to the holders of the special Holy Emblem of Dark Night, the ones favored by the "Star of the Goddess".

The members of Tingen did not know that this announcement was not issued to all cities. It was delivered directly from the church and was only sent to Tingen and Backlund. Other than that, the only people who knew were the Archbishop, Senior Deacons and the Red Glove Elite Team.

Of course, Frye would not bow down when he saw the Holy Emblem. His caution and rigor were the reasons why Dunn trusted Frye to hand over the position of captain to Frye.

Frye's expression did not change at all: "We need to verify."

"Okay, then I...throw it to you?" Esther saw that neither Frye nor Luo Yao had the intention to step forward, so she had no choice but to suggest this.

"Can."

Frye took the badge that drew an arc out of the air. Without warning from his spiritual intuition, he first tried to instill spirituality himself, but the badge did not react at all and did not cause any accidents.

Frye then handed the badge to Luo Yao with confidence. If it was really that special badge, then changes would only occur if an Extraordinary of the "Sleepless One" path would test it.

But Frye couldn't let Luo Yao take the risk directly, so he felt it first. The spirituality of the "Psychic" far surpassed that of the "Midnight Poet", which gave him more confidence to foresee the crisis. After taking the lead in taking the risk of the experiment, he dared to let Luo Yao try again.

As Luo Yao injected spirituality into the Holy Emblem of Dark Night, a faint light lit up.

"Really..." Luo Yao himself is not a moody character, so he only showed a little surprise, and then he respectfully stepped forward and returned the Holy Emblem directly to Esther's hand.

Fry pointed out the "Crimson Moon" pattern on his heart: "Captain of the Tingen Nighthawks Squadron, it's an honor to meet you, Your Excellency 'Goddess Star', I am Fry, and this is a member of my team, Luo Yao."

Esther's eyes moved slightly, and some complicated emotions flashed through them. She smiled and bowed to the two of them: "Just call me Hamel."

The cut wire cannot be connected, so...

To you, I am Hamel Brooke, a favored person with a special status called "Goddess Star", that's fine.

After the identities were exchanged, communication about the murder became much simpler.

Frye can be said to have gone straight to the point, and asked nervously: "Your Excellency, the favored one, are you tracking down the suspect? We can assist you."

Esther quickly said: "Hamel, please call me Hamel. It's not convenient for me to bear that title. It was just an accident that this happened to me. I was going to the south in two days."

When Esther said this, she herself sighed: "Well, let me guess, you didn't get many clues in the house?"

Frye nodded solemnly, feeling somewhat guilty because he had gained nothing. He subconsciously thought of Dunn and felt that if the captain was here, he might be able to do better: "I'm sorry, all the nearby spirits have dissipated..."

Esther interrupted Frye's words, pointed at herself with a wry smile: "No, it's not your fault, it's probably because of my relationship."

Frye looked like he wanted to say something more, but Esther waved her hand to him: "Let's go back there first. I'll try it in the house. Don't follow me. Take good care of that lady, she's almost in perfect spirits." Collapse, West-hope one of you has an Incubus?”

"Yes, our teammate. I will let her try to fall asleep, first observe the lady's mental state, and try to comfort her as much as possible." Frye responded.

He talks more than before. After all, he now assumes Dunn's responsibilities and has become the captain. He can no longer deal with social interactions with cold silence.

Esther showed a gentle smile: "Be careful of contamination. It's best to find a quiet room to do this. Although this thing looks like an accident, we can't rule out the possibility of involving cultists."

"We understand!" Frye once again pointed out the symbol of the goddess in his heart. It can be seen that he is still quite nervous in front of the so-called "God's Favorite".

When the three of them walked back to the door of Room 14, they seemed to be centered around Esther, with Frye and Luo Yao following behind, no longer vigilantly surrounding her.

Benjamin stared at the floor, not knowing what he was thinking, but his eyes fell on a few people who were returning. A faint smile flashed across his lips, but he quickly stopped.

"This lady has no external injuries, and the little blood stains on her body are not her own." Xijia, who had basically checked the situation, saw the two people returning and immediately explained the situation briefly.

Frye nodded: "Find a room, put this lady down, and wait until she wakes up before questioning."

Viscount Aude coughed twice: "Room 4, I didn't lock the door, you can use it as you wish... Anyway, we guests can't sleep here tonight, we have to move out."

Fry raised his five fingers and saluted the old man respectfully: "Thank you, Mr. Viscount. Inspector Toler, would you please use the manpower of the police station to accommodate the remaining passengers. Remember, they must be registered tonight." Write down your address."

Toler, who had been standing nearby for a long time and had been wandering away from the topic, responded repeatedly and called his police officers to arrange accommodation for other guests.

Viscount Aude turned to Esther, but just blinked at her, and followed Inspector Toller down the stairs.
