Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

The people present moved very quickly, and most people quickly took their seats within five minutes. A small number also followed the movements of the others and quickly found their seats and sat on the empty stone chairs.

There are also some people communicating in low voices, but most of this happens between individuals, or as Esther noticed, it is a group that is obviously more familiar with each other:

Some people's cloak collars are inlaid with pendant pointers, and some have dark patterns printed on the backs of their cloaks. These two groups of people can be said to have deliberately gathered people with the same dress. The sitting positions are more concentrated, and they are far away from each other. .

However, the number of small groups with dark patterns is smaller, and they are faintly divided into two parts. It seems that there are internal differences.

Sure enough, even within the group of "thieves", differentiation is an inevitable result. Most of these people feel that the other party's "integrity is worrying", but they also hide their own thoughts very closely...

When Esther was thinking this, she heard a low laugh from the middle-aged man next to her:

"It's really interesting that they still have different opinions at this time. But such a loose organization lasts longer than I thought. Ever since the ancestors of the Zoroastrian family lost news, the two families have no shelter. Last time Century I thought they would break up.

"It's a pity that there are no characters in Jacob's family. They cower behind the scenes and don't dare to take action against each other. The new generation is far behind the Zoroastrian family."

Esther always felt uncomfortable listening to the middle-aged man's harsh comments, and more and more probing eyes were staring at the two of them. She even felt that the other party did it on purpose.

The two of them were sitting closer to the group of people holding down the hands. Because the middle-aged man did not lower his voice deliberately, several people stared at him with unkind eyes.

It seems that they are all members of Jacob's family?

The middle-aged man met the eyes of those people, but just raised the corner of his mouth mockingly: "If you think what I said is wrong, you can wait until you leave here to find me again. I will be happy to teach the juniors who are not polite."

After saying this, he grabbed the hat and pressed it on his chest, making a playful salute: "I'll look forward to it."

His tone and smile, including his smiling but malicious eyes, gave Esther a strange sense of familiarity.

She quickly shifted her gaze from the middle-aged man to the middle of the hall, her body gradually tensing up.

It would be nice if Benjamin was around at this time. She should give him a hint that there is something wrong with this middle-aged man, and there is really a wolf sneaking in!

At 9:06, another distant bell rang in the hall.

The young man wearing a short formal suit appeared directly in the middle of the hall. He slowly turned around to ensure that everyone in the hall could see his elegant appearance. His green eyes were hidden behind round glasses, indifferent and without any emotion. He glanced around.

All the whispers fell silent, and Esther heard a soft snort from the middle-aged man beside her, who seemed to be very disdainful of Benjamin's behavior.

Esther couldn't help but glance at him again, and happened to meet the eyes of the middle-aged man who was looking over, or maybe he had been staring at her closely.

In order not to appear guilty, Esther kept looking at him and asked, "You don't seem to like such gatherings?"

"It's not so much 'dislike', I just don't know why it exists." The middle-aged man's tone and smile were very polite, but Esther could hear the disdain and ridicule behind his words, "It's like just Cicadas that can survive a whole summer are too noisy, too fragile to see traps, and too dull to know the real threats.”

When the middle-aged man said this, he first looked away and stared at Benjamin standing in the middle of the hall.

Esther clasped her hands tightly together and listened to Benjamin's speech. While he was speaking, he was constantly looking around at the crowd on the stone chairs. Even if there was no spotlight here, the young man standing at the center of the dial was the most Prominent Spokesperson:

"First of all, it is the welcome that is customary in every gathering, welcoming our old friends and welcoming our new friends. I know that many of them may have traveled a long distance to attend this routine gathering. Can they be responsible for this The convening of this meeting was an honor for the Jacob family.

"I would like to introduce myself to those who are not familiar with me, Benjamin Jacob, the conference assistant of the 'Hermits of Destiny'. Due to the difficulties of the participants and our many years of tradition, we do not have a president and the organization is relatively loose. , does not impose any requirements on members other than 'confidentiality'."

Having said this, Benjamin showed a very humble smile: "However, 'confidentiality' has great limitations for you. I don't make any requirements, but this is also the safest place for us to exchange information. I don’t think anyone wants to walk in intact and walk out of here as an exceptional property.”

Esther's tightly held hands gradually loosened. Benjamin's hell joke briefly distracted her, and she was no longer focused on the middle-aged man next to her who was suspected to have been replaced by Amon's clone.

But in such a serious situation, is it really appropriate to say this?

As soon as Esther's idea came to her mind, the middle-aged man next to her chuckled again.

Esther subconsciously moved her body to the other side, but the chairs were fixed to the ground, and she couldn't move much distance away at all.

Can this man stop laughing? His voice is too obvious in the whole hall!

Esther, sitting next to him, could feel more and more eyes coming over her. She turned her gaze to the field and found Benjamin looking at it too. He nodded slightly in this direction. It seemed that the middle-aged man's laughter had also attracted his attention. With Benjamin's response, Esther's mood calmed down a little.

But when she thought that the person sitting next to her might be a clone of Amon, Esther's hands on her knees kept clenching and unclenching.

"Are you nervous? This is not an important meeting. Relax young man."

The voice coming from beside him was very casual, sounding more like an elder comforting the newcomers, full of affinity.

Esther glanced at him: "Thank you for your kindness."

She let out a long sigh of relief, not wanting to have any more communication with this person. If she is later misunderstood as another Amon clone, she may get Benjamin into trouble...

Benjamin's opening speech ended like this. It was much shorter than Esther expected. Benjamin bowed to everyone again: "Then the following is the routine time of every gathering. Please share information with each other about our man." Common enemy'."

The man in black robe sitting at the front of the Jacob family immediately raised his hand, and a hoarse and old voice came from under the hood:

"Intistrier is still the hardest-hit area. They are almost operating in the open, and it is not recommended for anyone to approach. In addition, in the two northern provinces of Honakis and the coastal areas, people whose fate has been replaced frequently appear. , the south is relatively stable and safe, but there is still the possibility of hiding."

Located on the other side of the hall, the group of people with the dark clock pattern on the back of their black cloaks also has a leader sitting at the front. The person raised her hand in a similar gesture and said in a rather soft female voice:

"Fusac is a clear suspect in Indo Port. Two people have already disappeared in that area. He was also seen in the Yongye Plain at the beginning of the year. There are no obvious abnormalities in the rest of the area, but we must be careful. He has disappeared this year. The activity seems to be more frequent.”

Following these two people, those who did not belong to this small group began to raise their hands one after another and report the locations they knew or suspected, including the "missing cases" of extraordinary people of the same sequence they knew.

There were at least many places mentioned in Roen, Lundberg, Fenebor, and even on the sea and the southern continent. This meeting started with mutual warnings.

For the first time, Esther had a more detailed understanding of this, and she was also puzzled. How many clones did Amon have, so that he could be so willfully thrown into the world? Even these clones are still hunting around. The more extraordinary characteristics it consumes, the more copies of itself it can create without affecting the power of the main body...

Esther raised her right hand and scratched the center of her right eyebrow with her fingertips, but what she was really curious about was the spot of light hidden under her hair.

The middle-aged man beside him coughed lightly, attracting Esther's attention. There was a joking smile on his uncovered face, which diluted his gloomy appearance. His voice was very Qing: "Are you scared after hearing this?"

Esther hesitated for a moment and decided to respond to the middle-aged man's inquiry with an attitude more in line with ordinary "stealers": "Of course I'm afraid. Just these life-saving news make the value of this rally beyond my expectations." Imagined.”

The middle-aged man stared at her in surprise for a few seconds. The smile on his face did not change. He no longer deliberately lowered his voice: "If your Aurora Society knows this information, won't you take action against Amon's clone?"

The small exchanges in the hall suddenly stopped, because most people had already communicated their known information. The surrounding environment was relatively quiet at this time, which made the middle-aged man's voice seem very abrupt.

Esther, who was suddenly blamed, was completely indifferent. She just looked back at the middle-aged man quietly, without being irritated by his provocative smile.

Benjamin cleared his throat: "If you have a personal grudge, please discuss it privately after the meeting and do not disturb the order of the meeting."

There were a few whispers in the hall again, mixed with dissatisfaction with Benjamin's interruption, but they did not burst out directly.

The smile on the middle-aged man's face disappeared. When he lowered his face, his hooked nose revealed a more arrogant and cold look: "Even if someone enters the gathering with the blessing of the 'True Creator', do you still want to favor this person?"

A needle drop can be heard in silence.

Benjamin looked at the middle-aged man and let out a long sigh:

"To be honest, Uncle Gad is quite kind. Now that I know it was you who took away his destiny, I feel very sorry."

The middle-aged man gradually raised his lips and stood up from the stone chair: "It's a pity that he trusted the wrong person."

Esther suddenly turned her head and stared at the middle-aged man next to her.

The man was not looking at Benjamin, but at her. (End of chapter)
