Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

"What does it feel like to die?"

"Don't you have a philosopher in your clone? Are you still asking me this kind of question?"

Esther dismissed that question very coldly. The stone dagger with a simple shape and two parts of gold and black was being held in her right hand. As Esther drew it downwards towards the void, the dagger was A layer of golden shadow lights up: "Turn on!"

Her body was floating in the low altitude, looking at the rugged and dark valley below. Amidst the vibrations of collapse and reconstruction, the inverted pyramid that had been sealed by "confinement" and "exile" and isolated from reality for thousands of years had just been destroyed in Ai. With the release of Ste, she returned to the reality where thunder resounded across the sky.

Before entering the enclosed space, the sound of water that Esther heard had disappeared. What also made her disappointed was that not only the spirit body of the "King", but also the "people" enclosed in this mausoleum were there. We left here together in an instant.

The only thing that comforted Esther was that they seemed to have gone to the place where the deceased should have gone. This made Esther's regrets fade a lot. If it hadn't been for Amon's problem, she might have been in a better mood.

The huge hole in the ground was filled by a ruin, and then the extraordinary force supporting it was pulled away, and the collapse process quickly started again.

And the always talkative Worm of Time was obviously not willing to let Esther experience this moment quietly. A shadow came out from under Esther's shawl and quickly stretched above her head, showing her dark skin. Plump wings.

A voice came from above the head: "You can't not know, Zoya."

Esther raised her head and looked over: "Does your memory only last three seconds like a goldfish? I've told you countless times, it's Esther."

"The memory of goldfish is not bad. I can remember a lot of things even after I became a parasite."

This is pure nonsense. The goldfish parasitized by Amon will just become Amon.

The crow circled a few times, seemingly observing the situation nearby, but Esther could feel its subtle scrutiny.

Although she didn't know what the situation was, her intuition told Esther that the other party still had something to say. When the crow fell down, Esther raised her arms out of habit, trying to provide the crow with a convenient place to stand.

Then the crow's figure gradually stretched and spread out, turning into a young man with black curly hair. He looked at Esther with a funny look under his soft peaked hat, which made Esther quickly retract the arm that she had just supported in front of her.

She even pretended to be casual and put the right hand holding the dagger behind her back - even though this action could not prevent Amon from "stealing" such a thing from her hand, it could clearly express Esther's attitude. .

Amon's mind was not on the object that retained part of the extraordinary power for the time being. Although he was also very interested, another thing bothered him even more: "Do you have the answer to my previous question?"

In view of the height gap between the two, even if Amon smiles kindly now, it will still bring a sense of psychological oppression to Esther. She laughed dryly and reluctantly said:

"I know, I have memories of this, but..."

The face of "Li Xing" flashed through her mind, making Esther purse her lips: "That experience was not clear, and it was just the cessation of the body's breathing, and then darkness, and it did not include the process of the spirit dissipating. I can’t explain my detailed feelings either.”

The smile on Amon's face did not change. He just stared at Esther for a few seconds before speaking: "I felt 'my' death from that drop of water."

"I thought your clone had a similar experience. After all...you have also dealt with your own clone." There was a hint of thorn in Esther's words.

Amon did not let Esther divert the topic. He suppressed the smile on his face and said seriously: "You are right. From the humans who were parasitized by me, my clones have also experienced different kinds of death. , but the previous feeling was very different.”

Amon did not move, but his body came closer. A bolt of lightning blew from high in the sky. Because he leaned forward, the shadow of the pointed soft hat on Amon's head also fell on Esther's face.

"What I can be sure of is that as an entity and as Amon, I have never, ever entered 'death'. Tell me, why do I feel that way?"

"How do I know?" Esther looked confused. If she hadn't been defeated, she would have ridiculed Amon's slightest hint of gaffe.

Even though He would never admit it, Esther could easily see that there was something wrong with Amon's mentality. She had no fewer questions than Amon: "I don't know what you are feeling. I can only say that I saw Yeah, that's part of 'me' left behind by death."

"Brand?" Amon moved his body back slightly, pulled away, lit the monocle on his right eye, and began to think about all the concepts that this word can connect.

"As long as it is a real death, it will definitely leave traces in the river of 'death'. What we have seen," Esther paused when she said this, "is the drop of water you stole. , although it is just a projection of that power and has no real effect, it still brings us closer to the concept of 'death'. Just like when standing by a river, you will naturally see the reflection in the river..."

"That doesn't explain what I saw." Amon put on his smile again, took off his monocle, grabbed a white handkerchief from the void, and wiped it carefully, "As for you, you don't look afraid. .”

"You mean death?" Esther scratched her head and thought quietly for a while.

To Amon's surprise, she actually laughed easily: "I don't know what to say, but for me, there are too many things to worry about than death, and it has to be a long queue. "

"for example?"

Esther picked up her fingers and really counted them one by one: "For example, you are monitoring me now, these 'little troubles' I encountered in the God's Abandoned Land, the memory problems left by Zoya, and me There are vague sounds of prayer in my mind now...but I seem to know who is praying to me. My honorable name still communicates with the spirit world, but it is isolated by the secrets of this continent."

There was a rare hint of helplessness in Amon's indifferent eyes. He put the monocle back into his eye sockets again: "For example, I am not spying on you, but I can kill you right now."

His words were light and airy, but Esther's heart tightened. Amon had never said this to her so bluntly before. Such a strong threat did not sound like Him.

And Esther's dry laughter sounded even more unconfident: "Haha, this joke is not funny."

"I know you can tell that there is no lie, deception or deception in that sentence - I am telling the truth, and I have the means to kill you."

Amon raised the corners of his mouth, then he raised his head and pointed his head lightly at Esther's forehead: "It's still the reminder you gave me."

Faint light spots floated from Esther's hair, but she quickly suppressed them. Her expression turned indifferent, unwilling to show any subtle expression:

"Are you serious?"

"I think it's better not to cover up with any lies when communicating with you. After all, you can feel the difference between truth and falsehood... Then I will be honest with you, Zoya, help me control Source Castle and suppress the previous one of Source Castle. Master, I don’t care about your candidates, and I don’t care what you are planning, as long as that is the result.”

Esther's eyelids twitched: "If I don't agree, what are you going to do, kill 'Zoya'?"

"It's just an interesting conjecture, but I can put it into practice at any time now."

Esther shrugged her shoulders indifferently: "Yes, of course you can crush my body at any time, but unfortunately, my consciousness will only completely return to the spirit world, or return to the Origin Castle."

Amon's black eyes reflected unvarnished malice: "No, it's the power condensed by that drop of water. Only it is special enough to make you return to 'death'."

But once again, what Amon didn't expect was that Esther smiled again, even brighter than her previous smile, as if she heard an ignorant and innocent silly question about whether she could pick off the stars.

In Amon's confused and curious eyes, Esther shook her head: "Then I will disappoint you, I will not return to 'death'. Some consciousnesses are so special, they are eternal and can never be erased. There will never be any relief.”

lie.

Amon also laughed in his heart, but was the source of this lie fear, or was it for other reasons?

No matter what, he could observe that Zoya was already wavering.

Why is it so late and so short? Give the author a punch.
