Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Esther walked up to the sixth floor. Unlike the green plants on other floors, there was only an empty ceramic vase placed at the end of the corridor right below the window. The sky outside the window has gradually darkened, and the orange and purple sunset can be glimpsed in the distance, emitting the last remaining light through the foggy dust.

When Esther pointed the key at the door handle, she felt the silent gaze, and she subconsciously looked towards the door of 602 on the opposite side of the corridor.

It was pitch dark in the crack of the door. The owner of the house had closed all the curtains. Only one red bloodshot eye was exposed from the crack of the door. It was wide open in the blurry dimness of the corridor and stared at Esther.

Then the door was slowly closed, and the bloodshot and crazy eye disappeared behind the crack, as if it had never appeared, it was just Esther's brief hallucination.

The terrifying chill behind Esther quickly subsided, but her spiritual intuition remained silent, as if she didn't take this sight seriously at all.

Esther turned the doorknob and walked into No. 603. While her heartbeat was racing, she was also quickly analyzing the situation. Since there was no warning in her mind, the threat from the other party was very small. And Mrs. Romano allowed him to live here, perhaps because someone else had guaranteed it for him. Esther sensed the fluctuations coming from his room, which was clearly some kind of extraordinary power.

Backlund's Extraordinary seems to be much more surprising, and I'm afraid it's not possible to just throw a brick and hit two of them.

But Richie is really unreliable. Is this what he said about the gentleman next door at 602 who has a "quite gentle personality"?

If the gentleman opposite really has a big problem, Esther is also capable of "solving disputes". Whether it is arrogance or honesty, she has a high degree of trust in her spiritual intuition.

Esther shook her head and looked at the room that would be hers in the next two weeks. At least she couldn't move out until she accumulated enough funds. Mrs. Romano's contract was non-refundable.

As soon as she stepped into the house, Esther locked the door behind her back.

The room was much more spacious than Esther imagined. The layout inside was simple and plain. A landscape oil painting hung on the whitewashed wall. There was a half-length mirror beside the door. The emerald-green bamboo-colored bed faced the window. The pillowcases are embroidered with large clusters of azaleas. The room is equipped with a double-door wardrobe, a writing desk and wooden chairs, a one-square-meter low table and a low sofa. Because all the light-colored furniture is placed in the room, the atmosphere of the whole room appears light and bright.

Esther passed by the half-length mirror and was surprised to find that her face seemed to have grown two years older, completely getting rid of the immature look of the Tingen period, but her size... seemed to have not changed at all.

Walking to the window facing Lily of the Valley Street ahead, Esther could see the pedestrians walking on the street from a bird's eye view. Most of them were walking home after a day of exhaustion. There were also couples holding hands or parents and children. , a peaceful scene.

A carriage passed in the middle of the wide road, the sound of hooves beating as it advanced.

Xiaowu in the pocket twisted, and Esther reached out and took it out.

"Where's that guy?"

"Gone. After I mentioned I don't know which sentence."

Xiao Wu shook his head: "What did you say at that time?"

Esther recounted the topic at that time, talking about the young man with long silver hair and the shining skylark.

Xiao Wu was silent for a moment, but didn't say anything. He just said "I have to sleep for a while" and then got back together. Esther couldn't tell whether a translucent insect was really sleeping, so she could only put Xiao Wu back into her coat pocket, take off her coat and hang it on the back of the chair.

She herself sat on the low sofa, gently rubbing her right eyebrow, thinking about what to do next. There were still a lot of things to buy, not to mention the expense of three meals a day. She might consider resuming her job as a baking assistant. There were many shops on this street.

Esther is still depressed because of Xiao Qi's sudden departure.

Night entered the house from the horizon, casting more shadows on Esther's face. The road outside was actually brighter than inside the house because of the street lights.

"Knock, knock."

There's a knock on the door. This suddenly woke up Esther, who had been dozing with her eyes closed. She didn't even pay attention to the footsteps outside the door. Instead, she didn't notice it until the other person knocked on the door.

what happened? Are my senses diminished?

But Esther immediately stood up and opened the door. Standing outside the door was a man with brown-blond hair: he was not tall, wearing a loose vertical striped shirt and loose linen pants, with a conspicuous blush on his cheeks. , his thin lips were pursed into a line due to nervousness, and the sea-blue eyes raised at the corners of his eyes were delicate and soft, and he looked like two different people from the crazy and scary glance through the crack of the door.

"Hello, I'm your neighbor."

"Good evening."

Esther's greeting was not very enthusiastic, and the man certainly felt this. He showed an apologetic and friendly smile, and his elegant temperament naturally appeared on his body, making his originally delicate appearance particularly eye-catching: "I'm Norn Murphy from 602, nice to meet you."

"Luna Duboa, just call me Luna."

"Ah yes, you can also call me Norn. Before, at that time..." The gentleman hesitated and mustered up a lot of courage before continuing, "I sometimes seem very irritable because some children They're a real pain in the ass. By the way, I'm a teacher at Esperi Public Elementary School on the East Side. I'm sorry you were taken aback."

Esther also laughed: "I didn't see it clearly at the time. I thought I was dazzled. Fortunately, I am braver."

Although the fact is that I have no money to live elsewhere.

"But I'm still sorry. Because I heard from Richie that you didn't leave after you went upstairs in the afternoon, I took it upon myself to buy a dinner. This is my apology."

Noen raised his hand and handed the two paper bags he was carrying to Esther. Esther hesitated for a moment, then took one and returned the other to Noen: "Thank you for your consideration, but I can't eat so much, so you might as well keep this."

Esther did not refuse this kindness. She didn't know how long she would live in Lily of the Valley Street. She also hoped to maintain a good relationship with other people.

"I'm glad you didn't ask any questions." Noen was pleasantly surprised that Esther accepted part of it. He was originally worried about being hostile to his new neighbor, but he didn't expect her to be so talkative. "I was supposed to come back from class this afternoon. To catch up on sleep, those children always make people worry, I might have looked haggard at that time..."

Esther twitched her lips: "I can probably understand you. When you have a neurasthenia and don't get enough sleep, it's easy to become irritable."

"It's great that you understand. I'm going back to the room first. You just got here today, so you should have a good rest." Noen breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye directly. His knuckles on the paper bag turned white, as if he was worried about it. I felt nervous talking to Esther.

After closing and locking the door again, Esther sat on the sofa, opened the paper bag, and took out two jam sandwiches, a puff pastry croissant, and a small can of milk.

Mr. Noon was quite confident. The contents of the other paper bag should be similar.

Esther closed her eyes and thought about it in her mind for a moment. After confirming that these things were not dangerous, she ate the croissant and milk first, leaving a jam sandwich that she could save for breakfast tomorrow morning.

Norn Murphy, is he a wild extraordinary?

Esther munched her sandwich lazily. Xiao Wu basically ignored her. Xiao Qi left so resolutely that she didn't even have anyone around her who could discuss these matters.

And why is he so nervous? Can he sense that I am an extraordinary person?

I tried my best not to make any noise when I went upstairs. He didn't peek at me as soon as I went upstairs, but when I opened the door.

Esther shook the empty milk can, carefully sensing the buzzing sound in her mind. A few light spots fell from her hair, scattered randomly in the room, and disappeared into every corner.
