Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Hongyue lowered her eyes and said nothing, and the two figures hurriedly left the hotel.

Braving the darkest night at four o'clock in the morning, they walked through eight streets before squatting on a street corner to catch their breath.

Sitting in the alley behind a certain low house, Mateo moved his ankles and looked at his fellow travelers who were panicking along the way. Vika sat in the corner with a gloomy face, staring blankly at the air, seeming to be thinking about something important.

Although the physical strength of the two travelers was not bad due to the increase of extraordinary power, Vika's behavior of nervously pulling Mateo and taking long detours to dark places still added a lot to them. Less psychological burden.

"Can't we just walk in a straight line..." Mateo breathed out heavily. He also carried a heavy suitcase with a lot of things in it.

With no weight on his body, Vika seemed much more relaxed. The "machine" potion itself has improved body regulation: "No, it's very dangerous. I always feel like there is a shadow chasing behind us."

"Then you're still standing outside my door in the middle of the night. Why don't you knock on the door and ask me to come with you?"

Vika scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "Aren't I waiting for fate to give me a clear revelation? Then you opened the door..."

"If I don't open the door, are you going to stand there all night?"

"Probably not." Vika looked away guiltily, groped around on his body for a moment, and finally took out a small cloth bag.

Mateo looked at Vika curiously: "I don't know if the boat has been repaired. If not, should we rent a boat? I don't have enough money."

"I still have some savings on hand. If the situation is too embarrassing, I can also ask my teacher for help." Vika said, taking out a green leaf from the cloth bag.

That bit of green immediately attracted Mateo's attention: "What is this?"

Vika did not answer, but handed the leaf to his lips, and blew it with force. In a buzzing sound that made Mateo feel spiritually uncomfortable, an invisible crack in the spiritual world opened in front of him, and he flew through it. An insect about the size of a wild cat emerged.

Its body structure is similar to that of a bee. It has a smooth, hard inverted triangular head with two slender but curled tentacles. The chest, abdomen and tail are covered with dense light yellow hairs, and short gray hairs are scattered on the outside of the abdomen. , but it does not appear in the shape of a circle, but a large expanse of interlaced vertical lines, with a checkerboard-like grid pattern on the edge, and a group of inverted triangle symbols wrapped in the middle.

A streamer-like silver halo hovers outside the bee's legs, which gives people a very beautiful look and disguises the intimidation of the sharp barbs on its leg joints.

Mateo had seen this spiritual creature and knew that it was Vika's messenger, so he did not show any surprise at this time.

But he remembered that when he held this symbol and asked Mr. Alexander for details, that day, the most knowledgeable person on the "Clover" just told Mateo a famous saying of Emperor Russell, " There is no end to knowledge.”

Except for one question, Mateo didn't get any information. He just remembered this pattern that made him somewhat concerned.

The tentacles of this large bee were trembling in the air, and it shook Mateo next to him twice before turning his head back to his summoner. There are silvery white shadows floating in its compound eyes, as if there are many fine snowflakes dancing inside, but there is no actual eyeball structure.

Soon, the translucent thin wings behind it were slightly raised and began to vibrate rapidly, making a murmur of words, still in the ancient Fusac language: "He who watches destiny with his eyes, do you want to deliver a message?"

When he was just promoted to Sequence 8 "Machine", Vika had nightmares for several days in a row, and the whole dream was filled with the buzzing sound of wandering bees. It wasn't until the early morning of the weekend when he recited that honorable name as agreed with Esther that the strange dream disappeared.

But instead, there was this bee who had been staying in the dream, staring at Vika with big eyes and small eyes. Even Vika always felt that the bee at that time was even more confused than he was in the dream. In the end, Vika had no choice but to write down the incantation to summon the bee and make a token. After his teacher divined that there was no danger and agreed to assist Weika in performing the ritual, Weika signed a "messenger" contract with the other party.

At the moment, Vika feels it is necessary to use its special characteristics to ensure that he and Mateo can arrive at the port safely. This bee has a very special ability. Asking it for answers to "divination" can often provide extra revelations.

Vika just wanted to take advantage of the moment of rest to ask this bee - at least Vika's spiritual intuition told him to do this: "No, I have a question to ask you."

The large bee rubbed its front feet. This action instantly made it look more like a fly. It flapped its wings again and made a sound: "The answer and the price are the same."

"I know, what I want to ask is-"

But before Vika could finish speaking, the bee flapped its wings and interrupted it: "Because there are other favored ones here, I want double the reward."

Vika raised a hand and glanced at Mateo, who looked helpless next to him: "Wait, this is a bit too much. This is different from what you said before."

The sound the bee made when it flapped its wings also became more rapid. It looked like it had a bad temper. Mateo could even hear its obvious displeasure: "It changes with the changes of fate. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Vika glanced at Mateo: "Are you willing to give it half of your spirituality?"

"That depends on what you're asking...I'm at a loss right now," Matteo replied calmly.

"Then I'll take it as your consent," Vika said decisively, ignoring Mateo's astonished expression. Vika turned to look at his strange messenger again, "The shadow is already following, how should we start from there? Escape from a fate of destruction?"

The bee shook its tentacles in confusion and turned to Mateo's position again: "Is this your problem or his problem?"

Vika said without hesitation: "His problem, I see death in him, mainly based on his situation."

Mateo didn't expect that Vika would say this, and quickly calmed down, waiting for the bee's next move.

This huge spiritual insect began to move its front legs again. No matter how many times he saw it, Mateo felt that this movement looked too much like a fly.

But this time, tiny pieces of silver light were pulled out from the tips of the bee's legs. Its sticky texture was very much like honey. When the bee dropped it on the ground, it quickly expanded and swayed, forming a puddle.

However, before Mateo or Vika could see anything emerging from the puddle, the bee sucked the silver light into its mouth.

Its mouthparts slowly moved to chew, and the wings on its back flapped again:

"Now, go north, immediately...the stalker's shadow has fallen on you. If you want death to dissipate, you can only pull down the web of fate."

"I really hate your 'destiny' approach's speaking style." Mateo said expressionlessly.

One more chapter...ish...

Not an April Fools' joke, probably.

But happy April Fools' Day.
