Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

After leaving the bar, Klein casually rescued the victimized girl in the alley and found a marionette who could act as a translator. This temporarily solved his problem of language barrier.

The predecessor of this marionette was just a very bastard ordinary person, not even physically strong. If Klein hadn't broken through the scene where this man bullied the girl, he wouldn't have been able to transform such a useless marionette.

While briefly confirming the marionette's condition, a skylark quietly flew down from the sky and squatted on Klein's shoulder.

Norns looked at the Marionette and let out a low cry.

"Yeah, I don't think it's very suitable. I can only fill the vacancy temporarily...but do you still know these things?"

Skylark flicked its feathers, and Klein knew what Norns meant—it didn't quite understand, it simply didn't like this marionette.

Klein always felt that Skylark was playing dumb, but there was no evidence.

"Find a hotel to stay first."

As Klein said this, he asked the new butler "Off" to pick up his luggage and head to the border area between the city's prosperous and dilapidated areas. This kind of place is often a mixed bag of good and bad, pays no attention to outsiders, and does not have any standardized management. It is more suitable for Klein to hide his traces.

Norns turned its head around on Klein's shoulder, curious about everything around it. It rarely saw so many strangers.

In Dwayne Dantès's mansion, Norns spent most of his time in the bedroom or study. Klein never took Nornes to dances because he was worried that he would get into trouble. However, because Klein's dance teacher had contact with Norns, some news would always come out, and most people knew that this wealthy businessman had a very well-behaved little bird.

Klein used his peripheral vision to glance at the way Norns looked at the passers-by, and smiled slightly, but his heart felt a little heavy.

Still no news from Esther.

Skylark called twice, dragging Klein back to reality from his worries: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about something. What's wrong?"

Skylark smacked his lips and looked at Klein expectantly.

Klein smiled and shook his head. The gloom that had just emerged was suppressed by him: "Okay, I understand, I will have the opportunity to take you to try local specialties."

Now that he had said that, Klein naturally would not break his promise. After finding the hotel, he ordered a Balan specialty barbecue to be delivered to the room.

While Norns was happily enjoying the chopped barbecue strips, Klein had already finished his portion. He was sipping the black tea in his cup and thinking about where to find a suitable marionette.

Since there were no clues, Klein finally decided to use divination and search slowly.

Knowns swallowed the last piece of meat, burped, and happily rolled around the plate twice, almost hitting the teapot next to it. Fortunately, Klein moved the teapot in time.

Skylark, who almost got into trouble, raised his head innocently and looked at Klein lazily.

"I'm really curious where you ate all those things." Klein spread his hands in front of Skylark, and Norns immediately jumped up, allowing Klein to hold him up.

However, when he noticed that Klein was about to put himself back in the box, Skylark chirped rapidly, appearing very dissatisfied.

"I'm going to find a new marionette. There will probably be a battle, so it won't be convenient for me to take you with me." Klein explained patiently.

The skylark looked at the closed and narrow box, flapped its wings and flew to the window, then circled around the window several times.

Knowles' meaning couldn't be more obvious, and Klein was quite reassured by his consciousness: "You want to go out for a walk? Well, as long as you remember the location of the hotel and can find it by yourself. Don't fly too far. , remember to return here before midnight, you know?”

Norns called twice, and Klein could hear a hint of nonchalance in its perfunctory answer, but he still smiled bitterly, opened the window, and released the little bird that had been held in for many days.

Walk a hundred steps after a meal and live to be ninety-nine. Esther seems to have told me this...

Or maybe I'm remembering it wrong. Klein straightened his double-breasted trench coat, changed into a very ordinary Loen appearance, and left the hotel with Ao Fu.

Finding a branch to use as a divination staff, Klein began to use this not-so-efficient method to find his new marionette.

——

Enzo was a very lucky man, and he considered himself so.

In his more than forty years of life, the good and bad of his life were evenly distributed. As a mixed descendant of the Luen people and the Bailang people, he was abandoned by his father and hated by his mother. Enzo suffered enough from childhood to youth. of suffering.

Because of his diligence and perseverance, he was appreciated by an old gentleman and became his student. After becoming an extraordinary person and drinking the "monster" potion, Enzo's life was filled with continuous good luck, which was all to make up for his past misfortune——

"I deserve this," he always thought.

Even when he betrayed his teacher and defected from the School of Life, Enzo thought so.

He was tired of all the rules within the school, all the trivial and boring theoretical study or self-restraint. He longs to be able to use his extraordinary abilities as he wishes, to become an absolute "winner" and to satisfy himself to his heart's content.

So Enzo chose to obey his desires and accepted the temptation from the outside. He followed another group of Extraordinaries on the "Medicine Master" path and joined the Rose School of Thought.

"Indulgence", isn't this what he wants?

Enzo's good luck has never failed, including tonight - at least so far, he has successfully climbed down from the cliff, stepping steadily on the uneven edge, and no one is following him. behind him.

The pride of being a "winner" and the good luck of escaping from death put a smile on Enzo's face.

Enzo was also present when the "Red Glove" team of the Church of the Night raided the hiding place of Ulika, the "Dark Dead". He came here on behalf of the Rose School and wanted to discuss cooperation with the "Dark Dead" of the Spiritual Religion.

For Enzo, who is proficient in anti-divination, it is not difficult to get rid of the traces of occultism left behind by himself, and he is not the main target of the Church of the Night. The hounds of the Church do not know his identity. This is what Enzo can do. The key to seizing the opportunity to escape.

Enzo returned to the street and walked down a steep flight of stairs, wanting to get out of here as quickly as possible.

Suddenly, his spiritual intuition was touched and he was keenly aware of something. This made Enzo subconsciously hold his breath, ready to launch a "spiritual storm" at any time, hoping to launch a counterattack against the unknown existence that made him uneasy.

But this vigilance was quickly dispelled.

Enzo saw a small bird. He was not sure what kind it was, but it looked similar to a sparrow, but it was larger in size. It had light yellow feathers on its head and was emitting a faint light.

That kind of light was very strange, exuding an attraction that could not be explained from its source. Enzo subconsciously slowed down his steps, leaned over and slowly approached the bird.

trap? Who would use such a weak creature as a trap... No!

Enzo suddenly reacted and realized that his thinking was affected. He immediately stopped and turned on his spiritual vision to explore the surrounding situation.

Enzo let go of his spiritual restraint and observed the bird—an act that he could no longer look away from.

He couldn't describe what he saw, because from a "visual" point of view, it was just a pure and gentle light. It was not like the brightness of the sun that burned his eyes, nor was it like the crimson light that the group of "vampires" worshiped. The moon, the light itself is full of illusory and ethereal, more like some kind of condensed spirit.

For the "monster" path, seeing things you shouldn't see has long been a part of life, but Enzo has never encountered a situation like this.

He even had an inexplicable intuition that he actually saw nothing. What stayed in his perception was just a candle-like shadow.

But this did not make Enzo sober. On the contrary, because he stared at that light, he was unconsciously attracted to it, giving birth to more greed.

When he slowly approached the bird, the fragile creature showed no signs of panic. It just tilted its head curiously and looked back at Enzo with its light eyes. This surprised Enzo. It must be him. Good luck is still at work.

When Enzo was only half a meter away from the bird, he suddenly launched a "spiritual storm" towards the little bird.

Enzo's luck ended there.

The bird let out a sharp cry full of fear, but was not harmed at all. Instead, it suddenly spread its wings and flew down the stairs.

Enzo's eyes widened: "Wait, wait! Don't leave! Come back!"

He stared intently at the ball of light and followed the bird in a panic, focusing entirely on it. He completely forgot that the teacher of the School of Life once taught him a certain sentence - "Don't be seen." , deceived by what I hear.”

Enzo only wanted to chase the light and get closer to it. He stared closely in the direction of the bird, as if the only untouchable light in the world was the real other side.

Sitting in the shadow at the end of the stairs was a man with Dongbalan's appearance and dress.

In the sound of Enzo's stumbling footsteps, the man took out a matchbox from his hand and stroked it vigorously. Another ball of light flickered from his fingertips.

Enzo should have noticed this man, received a sudden spiritual warning, and became vigilant.

But he didn't, the ball of light fell brightly, and the bird stood on the man's shoulder and turned around.

The man squatting at the bottom of the steps popped the burning match behind him, and from the splendid flames, the figure wearing a top hat walked out gracefully.

Enzo was still looking in this direction. At the moment when his spiritual intuition suddenly issued a warning, it was too late. He saw a gray fog and the phantom of the blue-black door surrounded by it.

Enzo didn't even have time to understand what he saw. He screamed and collapsed on the stairs, scratching his cheeks hard and covering his painful eyes.

Klein easily grasped Enzo's spiritual body thread.

Knowns left Off's shoulder, flew onto Klein's shoulder, and chirped twice.

"Let's go back and discuss what you came here privately."

Hearing Klein's cold tone, Skylark shrank his neck. (End of chapter)
