Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

A gap opened at the door of the chapel, and a young man wearing a black pointed hat walked in, and the gap closed silently behind him.

Quiet and dim, there was only the figure sitting in the first row in the church, frozen on the bench like a sculpture. Even if he heard the approaching footsteps, there was no reaction.

However, the crow sitting on the knee of the figure raised its head and saw the young man. The crow flew towards him. However, as the young man shook his head slightly, the crow had no choice but to spin around in despair and fly back to the bench. Sitting next to the person dressed as a nun, he licked her sleeves.

"Esther" had to open her eyes and push away the crow's furry head.

Different from the crow's smart and clear eyes, "Esther's" eyes were still in a chaotic trance. The original complete symbols were gone, replaced by tiny and twinkling stars.

"You look in bad shape," Amon adjusted his monocle, "I received your message."

"Esther" looked at Amon's face for a moment: "You are not the original body."

"Of course not. The message you want to convey is very, very special." This Amon clone considered the words and avoided the Amon Council's quarrel over this matter.

He sat down next to "Esther" with the crow in the middle: "I took the risk to come here. Fortunately, there is a clone here who can locate it."

Crow shook his head: "You are so annoying. I know even if you don't tell me. You must have been kicked out by the Amons and sent to death."

Amon lowered his head and glanced at the complaining crow: "Don't even think about going back with me. I'm not here to take you away. You should continue to stay here."

"What is this? I don't remember having a personal grudge against you."

"This is obviously a business matter. After discussion, we felt that we should leave Amon here to continue to monitor the situation of that good brother."

"Esther" seemed to wake up a little from her dream. She raised her hand and gently followed the feathers on the crow's back. This action effectively calmed the clone's emotions. It jumped to "Esther" and then fell back on her lap, pointing its tail towards the other clone.

Amon smiled and looked at "Esther": "This is another main reason why I don't plan to take Him away."

"It is your choice to suppress me with the uniqueness of 'error', not mine. I can only use other means to influence you."

"Your words have become simpler and easier to understand now." Amon's smile remained unchanged, but he no longer stared at "Esther"'s gentle eyes. "It's all in the past. Is the uniqueness of 'error' Isn’t it more convenient to stabilize your state than extraordinary characteristics?”

"You never feel like you did anything wrong, do you?"

"I won't, because I want to be the 'error' itself. I hope this answer will satisfy you."

"Esther" didn't speak for a while, and then let out a long sigh.

Crow turned his head to look at the clone who maintained the appearance of a black-haired young man, and chuckled twice: "I think it is impossible to achieve your real mission."

Amon ignored the crow's mocking and looked at the cross in front of the church: "What about you? You can totally change it. The big snake once said that the possibilities of fate are infinite..."

"Esther"'s voice suddenly became firm, no longer as dreamy and ethereal as before: "I don't want to change my decision."

"You do not want."

Amon chuckled similar to the crow just now, but the sound was lighter, as if he was really happy about it.

His right hand subconsciously rested on the edge of the monocle, but he made no further movement. He tapped the lens with his index finger, and then put his hand down again:

"Even if my brother does have some problems, this is a very critical moment for him. If he misses the opportunity, it will be difficult for him to find other opportunities. I do not intend to affect his 'script' at this time, Or cause Him any trouble.

"On the other hand, I don't think you should stay here. You're a problem to Him too, aren't you? Instead of distracting Him, let's do something else.

"In that meeting a hundred years ago, your reaction was too intense, and as a result we didn't have a chance to communicate. This time, you should listen to me carefully.

"I want to take you to see the place where my father once walked. I am very interested in that ruins. You can also help me search for the leftover things. I know you know that kind of writing.

"So, Zoya, do you want to come with me?"

It is difficult to tell the true and false invitations, the sincerity of the "stealer".

However, before "Esther" spoke again, the Amon clone had already stood up from the bench.

The smile on His face was bright: "Even if you don't answer, I already know your answer. I have brought you the words, and the task is completed."

"Esther"'s gentle gaze made the smile on Amon's face gradually fade.

He still spoke and gave a response that made the other party unhappy: "I will not leave with you."

No, not "can't".

Such words did not even leave an excuse, giving the other party room to commit fraud. No excuses could be made for Zoya.

The black-haired young man shook his head, patted the non-existent wrinkles on his robe, and walked towards the church door.

"We'll meet again, and it won't be a clone next time."

His voice clearly came from afar, but it seemed to ring directly in "Esther's" ears, and then was cut off by the re-closed door.

The crow then raised its head and looked up at "Esther" with a dull expression:

"Why don't you tell Him directly that you are still in the fusion process and my brother's spiritual clone remains in you?"

"It's not necessary. No matter what the answer is, your purpose and my choice are two branches."

Crow shook his head repeatedly, his dark eyes showing concern and sorrow: "But I really hope to get your help, obviously this is a good thing for us. What I can promise, let my brother be the witness , we can swear by the blasphemous tablet in His hand..."

"Esther" closed her eyes: "I know what you are thinking, it's useless."

"You're getting really boring."

All the emotions shown in Crow's eyes dissipated, returning to smiling indifference.

——

On Wednesday afternoon, at the home of Viscount Gray Lint, Audrey made an appointment with her two Extraordinary friends to meet.

To be cautious, before going to see the two ladies, Audrey first prayed to "The Fool" and obtained the angel's protection in advance.

According to the plan discussed in advance, Audrey really hypnotized Forsi and Xio. Her green eyes reverberated with soft whirlpools, full of attraction that made people unable to look away.

"Who asked you to investigate Viscount Stepford and pursue the king's secrets?"

Most of the questions were answered proactively by Xio after being hypnotized, while Audrey was also very patient and would proofread the answers with Fors, questioning the two of them in turn very carefully.

This is not a big problem - "Magician" and "Judgement" have also sought the protection of Mr. "Fool" a long time ago, and the answers they gave at this time were all thought up by the two of them in advance, without any loopholes.

Audrey then asked a few more questions, and the two friends in front of her both gave answers as if they were talking in a trance, in a confused and unconscious manner.

Finally, Audrey smiled and whispered: "Leave Backlund, leave here, this does not belong to you, you will live a better life outside.

"You will wake up after hearing my clap."

"Snapped!"

Audrey waved her hands almost without pause, letting a clear sound come out, and Forsi and Xio's eyes instantly regained their clarity.

Forsi smiled and continued the previous topic as if nothing had happened just now - for her who had just woken up from hypnosis, the previous inquiry almost did not exist:

"So at the end of the story, you agreed to the invitation and are going to attend the ball held by that prince in a few days?"

"Viscount Gray Lint will also go, so I have nothing to worry about." Audrey responded with a smile, "Unfortunately, I won't have time to attend the literary salon next week. The foundation has a fundraiser that day. Arrangement of activities.”

Xio glanced at the clock on the wall: "Then we won't disturb you, Miss Audrey. I'm going to the Bridge District later to meet my partners."

Forsi curled his lips: "Oh, what a pity, let's say goodbye first. Miss Audrey's story is pretty good, and there is a lot of material for me to refer to..."

After a brief exchange of greetings, Xio and Forsi left the residence of Viscount Gray Lint, but Audrey did not leave with them.

She planned to wait for half an hour until Xio went to the nearest "Goddess of the Night" church to complete his prayers as planned before going elsewhere.

This is all for preparation. Now that Audrey has completed the hypnosis and Xio has completed the prayer to lure away the "suspect", no matter where else Hvin Rambis appears, he will be ready.

Audrey picked up the soft hat with a white feather hat and walked out of the study slowly.

She was going to meet up with Susie and Anne, have a cup of afternoon tea with Viscount Graylingt to pass the time, and then leave here.

However, just after taking two steps, Audrey heard a gentle voice in her ears, but the smile in that voice made her hair stand on end:

"Well done, Miss Audrey."

Audrey's eyes widened subconsciously. She turned around and saw that beside the elegant wall lamp stand diagonally opposite, stood the silver-haired Hvin Rambis. This demigod from the "audience" path had been released. "Psychological invisibility" looked at Audrey with admiration.

Why is he here? It's too late, Forsi and Xio might not have walked out of the Viscount's mansion yet!

The panic was suppressed by the "audience" instinct, but Audrey calmed down completely. She pretended to be confused and in a trance, and subconsciously asked:

"Mr. Rambis? Why are you here?"

Forgot to time it! ! !
