Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Dai Li was wearing a translucent lace nightgown, but when she opened the door, she had already put on an extra windbreaker. She leaned against the door to block the gap, so that no one could see the scene inside the house.

Leonard didn't intend to look inside. He recognized that it was Dunn's clothes and firmly pretended not to notice: "Ms. Dai Li, I have some questions to ask you."

Dai Li glanced back with a smile, and then looked at Leonard: "This is not a suitable time, but I don't mind, but I can't invite you into the house... What are you going to say? We can slow down, Slow down and chat.”

The emphasis in her words made Leonard cough twice, and he lowered his voice: "Well, let me get straight to the point quickly. I want to know more about the 'evil spirit'. I think you should be better than me." Be more proficient in this area.”

"Is this what you want to ask?" Dai Li's thoughtful eyes fell on Leonard's face, making him feel absent-minded and feeling completely seen through.

Another voice came from behind Daly: "Let Leonard come in."

Dai Li then stepped aside: "Someone has spoken, so please come in, kid."

"I've been an adult for a long time!" Leonard protested strongly against that title, but still walked into the room. He tried to ignore the unnatural flush on Dunn's face.

Dunn was adjusting the buttons of his shirt. He was still wearing loose pajamas on his lower body. It was obvious that he put them on in a hurry. The buttons at his neck were even pinned to the wrong position. He had just adjusted them at this time.

Leonard pulled the round stool with a stern face and sat down not far from the door. This made Dai Li couldn't help but shake her head: "You look like you are planning to open the door and escape at any time. Are you that scary?"

Leonard replied expressionlessly: "After all, I'm the one who disturbed your...private time. I should be prepared to leave at any time."

"Do you mind if I listen?" Dunn pulled a chair over to Daley.

Daly chuckled and pulled Dunn over, but pressed him into this chair. Daly did not ask Leonard for his opinion at all: "Of course I don't mind. Is there anything else you can't listen to?"

Under Leonard's unwavering gaze, Dunn cleared his throat: "Well, then find another chair and sit down..."

"Can't I sit on your lap?" Dai Li leaned into Dunn's ear and whispered in a low voice. After seeing Dunn's blush as she wished, she smiled and dragged another chair over to sit next to Dunn. En sat down.

Leonard watched the interaction between the two people numbly. It wasn't until Daly sat down that he spoke: "I want to know what the characteristics of evil spirits are."

Although Dai Li was still leaning on Dunn's arm, she also entered the state of talking about business. She introduced the formation of evil spirits to Leonard in detail, including the limited scope of evil spirits' activities.

When Leonard asked if evil spirits could leave the "territory" by possessing someone, Daly also gave an affirmative answer.

But ordinary people cannot bear such a spirit body, and the extraordinary people of the "God of Death" path are somewhat special. Starting from the Sequence Five "Gatekeeper", they can form small underworld-sealed undead in their bodies.

Because this kind of discussion of different cases happened many times during various tasks, several people had long been accustomed to discussing and reviewing each other's conversations, which led Leonard to habitually express the issues he was thinking about:

"What would that evil spirit pursue?"

The eyes of Dai Li and Dunn were full of sharp probing. Dai Li smiled and put her hands together, tapping her index finger: "The pursuit of an evil spirit? It can sing and dance. Is it difficult to pursue art?" Or honor?”

Dunn's expression was more serious: "If you ask me to talk about...life? Things that you missed or were obsessed with while alive may also drive evil spirits after death."

When saying this, Dunn looked at Dai Li with particularly gentle eyes.

Dai Li raised her eyebrows at Dunn: "That's not wrong. Of course, the temperament during life will affect the evil spirits. But there are also two things that are common desires for those who were high-sequence powerhouses in life and after death. "

Evil spirits will absorb the souls of living creatures to strengthen themselves. These sources of power outside the spirit world or the underworld can allow evil spirits to escape the restrictions of their "territory" to a limited extent.

Another point is that these evil spirits will try to find extraordinary materials that were used in their lifetime. On this basis, the evil spirits no longer need to rely on the spirit world or the underworld, which is equivalent to transforming into another spirit world creature.

After Daly explained, the room fell silent for a while. Leonard was digesting the answer she gave, while Dunn was observing Leonard's expression: "Are you investigating something? Did you encounter any news about evil spirits? ?”

Leonard came back from his thoughts and his thoughts changed rapidly: "Ince Zangwill made an appointment with the Spiritual Religion Group to meet, which makes me think there is something hidden in it. We can completely conduct a reverse investigation and find out where he came from. Backlund's whereabouts all the way to East Balam, what he solved and what he was looking for are all corresponding clues..."

Dunn listened to Leonard's words quietly. It wasn't until Leonard's voice lowered that Dunn asked: "Does this have a lot to do with Ince Zangwill? Don't subconsciously think about refuting me, I can see it." Come on out, Leonard, you're convinced of this."

Dunn knew this Leonard very well. From the moment the young man nodded the crimson moon in his heart and swore to the goddess, he had been watching this young man every step of the way when Leonard drank the potion and applied for promotion. .

Leonard also understood this, and he could not hide anything from Captain Dunn.

After hesitating for more than ten seconds, Leonard finally nodded slightly: "Yes, I know the news, it's just the source of the news... I'm sorry, I can't tell you."

Dunn stared at Leonard for a moment: "Do you trust him?"

"I have no reason not to trust him in this matter." Leonard's eyes were very firm.

"Originally, I thought this matter should be reported to the church, but judging from your tone, even Dai Li and I can't know about it, so I won't make it difficult for you."

Dunn patted Daley on the shoulder and said gently: "Sometimes I feel very emotional. Leonard has grown up too fast and has his own secrets."

Leonard hesitated and avoided the eyes of the two people: "Why do you suddenly say such things..."

Dai Li held Dunn's extended hand: "Are you thinking about that?"

"Yes," Dunn looked at the young man on the round stool opposite, his deep eyes gentle and bright, "Leonard, if it is Ince Zangwill's matter, I am willing to provide any help. Even if I can't do it, If anything happens, I am willing to do my best to help.”

Daly squeezed Dunn's hand and folded the two rings: "It's us, Mr. Smith. I will definitely be with you. On some things, I am very grudge-y and can never forgive him for nearly hurting me." Took you away."

Leonard rubbed his hair hard: "I don't want you to get involved in this matter, it will be very dangerous! After all, you are together now and married, so there is no need to-"

Dunn interrupted: "I almost died because of his plan, Leonard. Not to mention that innocent people, including our companions, lost their lives because of him. I already know this. If something happens, I can’t pretend not to know, I have to get involved.”

Leonard suddenly bit his tongue. It was impossible for him to tell the captain that "Klein is probably still alive." Leonard had always thought that the captain was used to seeing the life and death of his companions and was not as obsessed with that matter as he was.

But at this moment, Leonard realized that this was not the case. Dunn's focus on the life at hand did not mean that he had given up his hatred. He just buried the disaster in his heart more calmly.

Otherwise, the captain would not be so persistent in wanting to participate. Instead, with his calmer and calmer character, he should have informed the church and even His Excellency the "Eye of the Goddess", and then mobilized the church's manpower to carry out the encirclement and suppression.

There is a difference between doing it by others and doing it yourself. This is a consensus that can easily arise among Avengers with grudges.

At least for Leonard and Dunn, only by taking action themselves can the dark clouds that lingered over Tingen that day be lifted.

Leonard closed his eyes tightly, and after a few seconds, he opened them again: "I still don't want you to take risks, but..."

He shook his head and looked back and forth at the faces of Daley and Dunn with a wry smile: "I can never speak well of you."

Dai Li winked playfully: "There is a reason why you are not good at writing poetry. We all know it."

Dunn's expression was still so serious: "If you have any news, come to us and discuss it with us. If you say 'risk', I'm worried about you running out alone. That's the real risk."

"I know, you always succeed in convincing me, captain." Leonard muttered.

"I am no longer the captain. The captain this time is obviously Sost, why are you still shouting like that?" Dunn stood up with a smile and patted Leonard on the shoulder.

After a pause, he looked at Dai Li: "Do you want to raise this matter? I will cover for you. Only those who know more about evil spirits can think of these doubts. You understand the characteristics of spirits better than we do."

"No problem, the team's investigation into Ince Zangwill needs further clues, otherwise they will not pay attention. Can we tell others about this clue?" The last sentence Daili asked was Renner Virtue.

Leonard nodded decisively and said, "After all, we still have to track down the whereabouts of the wanted criminal."

Dai Li stretched out: "Now that you've decided, it's time for you to go, little friend. It's far past the reception time. You are a 'sleepless' person, so I still have to rest."

She stared at Dunn with a smile, causing Dunn to clear his throat uncomfortably: "I repeat, don't take risks alone, got it?"

Leonard stood up from the round stool and walked towards the door: "I heard that, I won't disturb you here."

"Wait, Leonard, there's one more thing."

Leonard turned around.

Dunn stood next to Dai Li, and his deep eyes seemed to penetrate him: "Don't let hatred blind your reason. Life is always moving forward, and none of us want to lose another friend."

Leonard stood quietly by the door for a few seconds before raising his hand to grab the door handle:

"Okay, I will remember it. My memory is not bad enough to forget this sentence." (End of Chapter)
