Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

"You said Sealed Artifact 3-0625 escaped?" Leonard kept staring at Klein, wondering what he was thinking.

Several Nighthawks ran down. After Klein briefly stated what he had just seen, they failed to give a specific explanation and dispersed in an arc, maintaining a defensive posture. It wasn't until Leonard confirmed that Klein had no abnormal reaction by reciting prayers that they relaxed and discussed the situation with him.

Klein nodded: "The doomed puppet wanted to come out, but as soon as he leaned forward, he was caught back by... Esther."

Luo Yao's brows immediately wrinkled: "You don't sound very sure."

Klein was silent for a few seconds and faithfully described the scene he saw: "Her head was surrounded by many light spots, and she closed her eyes tightly and looked like she was sleepwalking. She grabbed the puppet, Those light spots extracted some kind of power from the puppet, and then..."

Leonard's brows furrowed: "Then?"

Klein took a deep breath: "Then Esther ate that weird thing."

Several people were silent for a while. Luo Yao's hand rubbed her gun uneasily, Cornley stared blankly in the direction of Chanis Gate, and Leonard frowned and tilted his head, as if he was deep in thought.

Klein did not rush them. Seeing the performance of several people, he understood that they did not understand the situation. When one person's confusion became everyone's confusion, Klein's psychological pressure was slightly relieved.

It would be best if Leonard shook his head inexplicably, and then he looked at Klein: "We don't know the reason for all this. Since the Chanis Gate has been closed again and there are no other abnormalities, we shouldn't rush rashly at this time. Enter. Must wait for daylight and wait for the captain to make a decision."

Klein sighed inwardly, hoping that when the report came, Dunn could give him a more specific answer.

Luo Yao added: "I will stay here and guard with you."

"Okay," Leonard spread his hands, "As the strongest person here, I will stay. Kenley, please go back upstairs, in case the police department has an urgent case and cannot knock on the door."

Cornley didn't say anything, nodded and left.

When idle, Leonard suggested that the three of them play cards for a while. Klein had no objection to the method of fighting evil, but was surprised that the deserted Luo Yao was actually very good at playing cards.

During the game, Leonard mentioned the information about the Doomed Doll and analyzed that it might have been influenced by other sealed objects. The most suspicious one was the previous "Notes of the Antigonus Family".

"What kind of power is behind Chanis's door?" Klein asked a question he had long had.

Leonard chuckled: "It's not just a sealed chamber buried deep in the ground and a few elderly caretakers. When the sun goes down, the caretakers will leave Chanis Gate and return to St. Selina Church. The power inside will be stronger at night. At its peak, it is no longer suitable for living things, and will not weaken until the sun rises. This is why the captain told us not to enter the Chanis Gate no matter what sounds we hear."

Luo Yao glanced at the thoughtful Klein: "Esther is an exception."

Leonard hit two 6s: "We have always speculated that there is some kind of sealed object entrusted in Esther's body. And Esther has long been integrated with that sealed object. This is The reason why she needs to sleep in Chanis Gate.”

Klein recalled the fellow villagers who had experienced strange changes at that time, and sighed: "This is really..."

Looking at it this way, this fellow countryman is quite unlucky.

Luo Yao said while touching the cards: "The operation of Chanis Gate is a kind of magic circle. It will be placed under the central church of each city to rely on the power of visiting believers. Their devout prayers will allow some spirituality to enter A magic circle, a little adds up to a big thing.”

"That's it." Klein got a bad hand, and his luck was as unlucky as ever.

Leonard added: "There are more protective measures behind Chanis Gate. The ashes of St. Selina are buried inside. She was a high-sequence powerhouse during her lifetime. There are rumors that the high-sequence powerhouse left behind after death. The corpses or ashes underneath still have incredible power, of course, this is just a rumor."

Klein nodded thoughtfully, feeling like he had learned something about mysticism that he had never touched before.

The rest of the night seemed quite peaceful. Apart from losing a lot of money playing cards, Klein didn't encounter anything else.

Ah, I am indeed quite unlucky. Klein counted his wallet heartbrokenly, unable to believe that he had actually lost two soli.

Klein wrote down what happened last night in a notebook, and changed shifts with Ms. Xijia, who entered the duty room at around six o'clock. Klein, who had stayed up all night, looked exhausted, while Leonard and Luo Yao next to him were still Very spiritual, this is the advantage of the "Sleepless" sequence.

When Klein was about to go home through the cutting, Dunn opened the door and came in. He immediately informed Dunn of what happened last night.

Dunn frowned and was silent for a moment. Then he took down the record book in the duty room and motioned for Klein to follow him into his office. After closing the door, Klein watched as Dunn copied the words he saw Esther last night on another piece of paper, and then blacked out Klein's handwriting, leaving only the part until the Doom Doll appeared.

"Klein, please state what happened last night again. Don't omit any details about Esther."

Klein described everything he saw last night in detail, including when Esther looked at him with a strange smile, but Klein concealed the fact that she called out his "real name".

After listening to this, Dunn wrote something on the paper, then raised his head, with obvious sadness in his always deep and calm gray eyes: "I hope you will not tell others what I will tell you next. Although the church has no intention of hiding it, Esther...it may cause fear and disgust in others."

Klein was shocked: "Captain, did you just say 'it'?"

"Yes. Esther must live behind Chanis Gate. I think you have noticed how unusual this is."

Klein nodded: "She - I mean, is Esther really a sealed object? But..."

Klein's language was a bit confusing, and it was difficult for him to describe how complicated his mood was at this moment. During his time entering the Nighthawks, he came into contact with a lot of information on sealed objects, and thought he could be considered a beginner in mysticism, but this kind of thing is still far beyond his cognition.

"Yes, Esther's essence is a sealed object."

"Isn't she a human being?" Klein's voice had an almost inaudible tremor. He could no longer imagine what this fellow countryman was.

"Old Neil should have warned you not to look at her with your spiritual vision."

Klein was silent. He kept staring at Dunn's desk, not daring to look at Dunn's sad eyes.

"The church didn't introduce it in too much detail. It should be out of protection for us, but our attitude towards Esther will also affect Esther's response to us. Sisi who came from Backlund Senior Deacon Ma has witnessed the oath Esther made with the 'Sword of the Goddess', so Esther will do her best to protect the Tingen Nighthawk Team."

"So she won't hurt us?"

"Yes, you should have noticed that she ran to the scene privately before."

"We were going after Rey Bieber and the notebook... and it really shocked me when she showed up."

Dunn took out his pipe, filled it with tobacco, and sucked the cigarette holder without lighting it: "The first time I went to the Dragon Bar with you and Old Neil, Esther showed signs of losing control. So. After that, I started to avoid letting Esther participate in combat missions and asked Esther to stay inside the company. This way, if there is a situation, we can send Esther to Chanis Gate as soon as possible."

Klein clenched his fists, but his mood became calmer and calmer: "She is obviously no different from ordinary people."

"That should also be an Extraordinary. The extraordinary power in her body is very special, at least it does not belong to any sequence we are familiar with. Since the Holy Church asked us not to pursue it, it is best for us to avoid talking about it."

Klein unclenched his fist and rubbed his cane: "I know, but I can't treat her as a sealed object. I think the same is true for my colleagues at Blackthorn Security Company."

Dunn's eyes returned to calmness and depth again, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised: "I know their rumors, and I acquiesce to them. Because you saw that scene last night, I will tell you the truth, but I don't want you to alienate me. she."

Klein nodded solemnly. It was difficult for him to equate a fellow villager with a sealed object. What's more, Esther was the only one in the world who could communicate with her in Chinese. The Great Emperor Russell didn't know where he was. Buried inside. So what if it’s not a human being? Extraordinaries are not normal people in the first place, and Esther's identity is similar to that of a living sealed artifact. This is not a big deal, right?

I have traveled through time and space, and I fell on Klein who committed suicide. It is not unreasonable for her to fall on a sealed object that is not a living person.

Of course, Dunn didn't know these thoughts of Klein. He showed a relieved smile: "I'm glad that you can understand this situation and are willing to continue to believe in Esther. Because of her own characteristics... By the way, this is the part I can't talk about. , if there is a chance in the future, I will let you know."

Klein was curious, but he knew what things he shouldn't be curious about. After bidding farewell to Dunn, he decisively left the office.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the captain again: "Wait, here's another reminder. Don't mention what happened last night to Esther. I'm worried that it will stimulate her memory."

"I understand, Captain."

Dunn thought for two seconds, but Klein didn't move his feet. Sure enough, he received another warning: "One more thing, she seems to like you quite a lot, otherwise she wouldn't smile at you in that state."

"Is there anything wrong with this?" Klein asked doubtfully.

"No, I'm just reminding you that because you have too frequent contact with Esther, the memories of the people around you will be subtly affected. Oh, but my memory is not because of her problem."

Dunn blinked and slightly diluted the solemn and heavy atmosphere in the room with a joke.

"There's really nothing going on this time. You can go back and rest."

Starting from today, there will be double updates every day.
