Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

When Klein returned to the gray fog to check the prayer of "The Sun", he discovered the illusory figure of Amon wrapped around Derrick.

He modified the secret contract ceremony recorded in the "Book of Secrets" and responded to the "sun". Using the golden figure appearing in the sunbird brooch, Klein prepared to purify the "sun" and get rid of the things hidden in him. "evil spirit".

Just when Klein wanted to use the identity of the "Black Emperor" blasphemy card to further mobilize the power of the gray mist, he noticed a scene that horrified him out of the corner of his eye:

In the figure of the "sun" outlined by the crimson stars, a hand as shriveled as a mummy suddenly stretched out and explored the boundary of the crimson stars, as if it was about to penetrate reality at any time, completely enter the spiritual realm, and completely reach the gray Above the fog!

Before Klein grabbed the "Black Emperor" card, something reacted faster than him.

Ever since he was promoted to "Joker" and took it off, the "glass-shaded lamp ball" that had been hanging quietly on the Fool's high-back chair suddenly emitted a more vigorous light. Although the light still maintained a gentle brightness, Klein But he clearly felt the "hostility" coming from it.

As a ripple appeared on the light ball, the surrounding gray fog also rolled up. A light beam as thick as a little finger split out from the light ball, mixed with a wisp of gray fog, and condensed into a tentacle-like light band, which whipped fiercely. With the hand that stretched out, he forcefully pulled it back two inches.

Under such a change, Klein still grasped the Card of Blasphemy and once again leveraged more power of the gray mist, causing the condensed golden figure to suddenly grow taller, with twelve pairs of jet-black wings sprouting from his back.

The intertwined figure of gold and black reaches toweringly to the dome of the gray fog hall. This condensed "angel" figure flaps and overlaps with the crimson stars of the "sun".

The palm without flesh and blood, with only skin covering the bones, retracted uncontrollably, but refused to retreat, as if it was craving for a drowning person on the driftwood on the shore.

Another band of light came out, but this time with the help of the tall "angel"'s suppression of the phantom, it directly pierced the palm!

In the illusory buzzing sound, heavy lights and shadows exploded. The withered palm was twisted into such a storm, and lost the support from the "sun". It instantly disintegrated into fine spiritual power, completely disappearing into the sky. between open channels.

A few seconds passed, and the ball of light suspended on Klein's high-backed chair and the gray mist surrounding the hall returned to calm, returning to the mysterious place that had not been shaken for thousands of years.

The twisted and weird guy on "The Sun" has disappeared.

Klein was finally able to calm down his emotions. He revealed part of the scene that had just happened and threw it to the crimson light of the "sun".

Looking up at the transparent shell light ball on top that was illuminating the Fool's chair with gentle light, Klein felt very complicated.

How does this thing... look like a fully automatic firewall? Antivirus software?

A place abandoned by God, a far away corner.

On the ravine-covered plain, the corpse of a blue-black Cyclops is wandering endlessly. The curse from the ancient gods, even after thousands of years, is still forcing him to numbly and mechanically walk in this land. Lift your steps on the earth.

Next to a deep ravine in the plain, there was a figure wearing a black classical robe, standing on the edge of the ravine, looking down leisurely.

A bolt of lightning struck not far away, briefly illuminating the thick gray-white building at the bottom of the ravine.

Of course, it also illuminated the young man's thin cheek, creating a reflection on his monocle. The young man raised his hand and pinched the lens in front of his right eye, turning his head and looking into the distance.

"Fool?" The young man who spoke the ancient Fusac language raised his lips and smiled habitually, "Is this the choice you expected?"

The young man's lenses flashed twice inexplicably, and the smile in his eyes deepened. His voice was very soft, and was covered in a thunder:

"You can't hide forever, and neither can he."

Then the young man jumped into the ravine in front of him. The sound of lightning stopped, and darkness instantly swallowed up the place where he stood.

This morning, Esther once again brought several pounds of black bread to the corner of a certain intersection. As soon as the harmonica sounded, the dozen or so children who had been wandering the streets all year round came out from all corners and obediently came to her side.

They did not have an agreed meeting place, but followed the sound of the harmonica and came directly to them. They took the bread from Esther's hand one after another, and distributed it independently in order of age.

But today, after the eldest boy gave the bread to others, he stood beside Esther, hesitating.

Esther glanced at the other children present and immediately noticed something was wrong: "Penny isn't here?"

Penny is the second eldest child besides the leader. She is the only girl in this small group who has her own name instead of a code name. Esther even thinks that she is the smartest one. Compared to other children, Penny was the fastest to learn her little stealing skills. She was very smart, but she had to use her intelligence on this kind of thing.

It is said that Penny's family has always been thieves, so since she was sensible, she has tried her best to hone her abilities in order not to be sold.

The boy who was regarded as the leader by default nodded, his eyes numb: "Penny may not come back."

"Do you want me to go find her?"

There was a little fire in the young man's eyes, but soon, that light turned dead again. He shook his head indifferently: "If you can't find her, she was taken away."

Human trafficking of young girls is indeed common in the East District, but these thieves and children are also followed by gangs. Under normal circumstances, no one will attack them.

The worst possibility is that the person who sold Penny was someone inside the gang.

Esther thought for two seconds and said, "If you know where she might go, you can tell me."

The young man glanced at her, but shook his head harder: "I don't know, we don't know where she was caught."

Several more lively children who had been standing around had been surrounding him. After hearing the boy's words, they all looked away, and their already haggard cheeks had a gloomy expression.

Esther could tell at a glance that this was an obvious lie, but since the boy didn't want to say it, she didn't ask, and instead played the harmonica. After listening to today's brief performance, the children quickly left here and dispersed back into the familiar alleys where they had wandered for a long time.

The boy nicknamed "Rabbit" did not leave. It was not until everyone else was almost gone that he came over and tugged on the edge of Esther's cloak and whispered, "I know."

Esther leaned down, and under the shadow of the cloak, her pale eyes looked straight at the "Rabbit": "Actually, it's not just you who knows, everyone knows, right?"

"Rabbit" nodded and shrank his neck: "But everyone...no one wants you to disappear too."

A gentle smile appeared on Esther's lips exposed outside the mask: "In the past so long, the people behind you have not dared to arrest me in a big way. Why are you worried?"

In fact, Esther would steal the memories of those stalkers every time, so that the above knew that "there was Hamel", but no one could remember the fact of coming to catch her, forming a strange circle. .

"Rabbit" wiped his palms over and over again with the dirty corners of his clothes: "Yes, we know. Those traffickers are very rich, maybe much richer than you..."

"Do you know who they work for?"

"Rabbit" lowered his head: "I overheard them talking about the business, and the leader mentioned a big shot -"

"Call Mr. Cappin."
