Lord of Secrets

The green seeds instantly broke out of their shells and sprouted. The vines grew rapidly on the other party's body, then tied up Ai Li and tripped her to the ground.

"The art of life!" said Tealim with a smile.

But in an instant, Ai Li broke free from the broken vines and tore them apart. Tealim said with a little distress: "It's really violent!"

But then Tealim raised the corners of his mouth and said slowly:

"This is a hunter's gift."

Ai Li yelled, she felt a little paralyzed and gradually lost her ability to move. If she had not been a "thug" and had a certain resistance, she might have lost her ability to move in an instant.

Her eyes became more and more scarlet, and Tealim saw that her whole body was a little hot, and a lot of smelly sweat flowed from her body.

"Really, what a bunch of crazy people!" Tealim sighed, then took out a leaf and blew it slowly.

The crisp and ethereal sound made Ai Li no longer resist. She felt that the other party was the master of life, and she was a lamb, and she needed to be gentle.

"The music of hunting!" Tealim smiled slightly, "It's really suitable for dealing with wild beasts."

He slowly approached Ellie, and then the buds in his hand grew vigorously in an instant, turning into a sharp wooden stick with a hint of crimson at the end.

He inserted the wooden stick directly into Ellie's heart, and felt the toughness of her skin slightly. Tealim used a little force and soon pierced her heart, and the wooden stick came out from the other end.

Pulling up the wooden stick, dark red blood gushed out. Ellie woke up immediately, and she wailed in pain, but it was no use.

Tealim prayed:

"Save you, may you return to the embrace of the earth."

Waiting for time to pass slowly, Tealim picked up a ball of blood-red special objects, and then cleaned up the scene a little, and then hurried away.

After all, the noise was too loud. Although Ellie's home was a little remote, it was easy for people to hear it and call the police.

More than ten minutes later, several people in police uniforms came in, looked at the person who fell to the ground at the door, felt the other person's breath, and then entered the room.

Seeing a bloody hole on the victim's chest, the dark skin had traces of being tied up, and the lips were dark black, one of the middle-aged policemen observed the room and the victim for a while and said:

"The murderer knocked the male owner unconscious when he opened the door, and when the female owner came forward, the murderer tied her up with vines and other things, and she struggled before she died."

"The tiles on the ground were obviously cracked, as if they were trampled hard."

"Then the murderer poisoned her and pierced her heart with a rough stick-like object."

"But there is a trace of doubt. There are no traces of being tightly strangled by the palm or elbow on the female owner's wrist and neck. There is no trace of close contact with the murderer on the whole body."

"This point..." The middle-aged policeman said in his heart: More like a supernatural person.

After waking up the male owner, the middle-aged policeman immediately asked, "Do you know who the murderer is?"

Ding Ke woke up and found himself surrounded by policemen. He was a little panicked, but then he thought of the mysterious man before. He quickly looked to the side and found a body covered with white cloth on the ground, and blood stained a small piece of white cloth red.

He quickly pointed at the body on the ground, and then said nervously and stutteringly, "Who is that?"

"Have you found out?" The middle-aged policeman asked the policeman next to him.

"Ellie Luns, Ding Ke Luns' wife." The policeman who was asked immediately answered.

"How could it be?" Ding Ke said in disbelief, and quickly covered his head with both hands.

The middle-aged policeman continued to ask: "Do you know who the murderer is?"

After losing his concentration for a moment, Ding Ke recovered and replied: "Someone knocked on my door before. I opened the door and found that the other person was covered in a black robe. He was tall, but a little thin, with only a white and delicate chin showing. He looked like a woman, and his voice was a little neutral."

"She asked me to take something from my wife. When I asked her what it was, she said 'life', and then I was knocked unconscious."

"I can't believe that the person on the ground would be my wife..."

Ding Ke's eyes turned red, and he cried to the middle-aged policeman: "You must catch the murderer."

The middle-aged policeman just glanced at him slightly. He saw through the other person's extremely painful expression, but he didn't pull open the white cloth to confirm the body. He just nodded and said to the policeman next to him:

"Report it. We can't handle this matter."

...

In the hotel where he stayed, Tealim set up the altar and arranged the aromatic essential oils, purple hyacinths and candles symbolizing "Dream Weaver" in a triangle, symbolizing stability.

Although the "Dream Weaver" told him that the ceremony was not necessary, Tealim always warned himself not to lose his reverence for the generosity and kindness of the gods.

So life must have a sense of ritual, which is a gratitude for life. Tealim did not know the symbol of the "Dream Weaver", so he performed the prayer ceremony to the Mother Goddess of the Earth as usual.

Lighting the candle, Tealim held the characteristic object of the "Thug" in both hands, raised it above his head, and chanted softly in the ancient Elven language:

"Dream Weaver who controls miracles;"

"Mysterious star traveler in the mist;"

"The glorious master of the illusory star sea."

"I pray that you will witness the salvation of life and give them a good night's sleep."

...

Ubermo felt the voice of prayer coming from his mind, the voice was hollow and crisp, and he immediately understood that this unique voice of prayer came from Mr. Life.

Ubermo then spoke to Furnady and Scarlett, came to the room, and immediately meditated into the illusory sea of ​​stars.

…

"I see!"

Terarim felt the message from the "Dream Weaver" and felt calm. Then he watched a portal filled with mist appear in front of him, and the whole body was composed of dim stars, absorbing the special objects.

At this time, Terarim could see the image of the Redemption Monument appearing in his eyes, with a "1" displayed behind his code name.

…

Ubermo originally did not want them to hand over their characteristic items to evaluate their merits. He could judge the authenticity of each other's words when they prayed, but since Mr. "Life" was so solemn, Ubermo did not refuse.

…

It was already noon. After having a warm lunch with everyone and taking a rest, Ubermo took Furnady and Scarlett to the circus.

Taking the tickets purchased by Rebelina in advance, several people entered the huge colorful tent. Ubermo could hear the noise in the venue and came to the seats at the front.

Sitting on a seat one person taller from the center of the field, Sijiada looked through the barbed wire at the staff preparing in the center field, not knowing what she was thinking.

As a circus in the capital city of Vimofrei, the venue is fixed, unlike other circuses that often wander around to make ends meet.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the staff began to leave. A clown wearing a bright and strange costume slowly walked to the center of the venue with a huge and sturdy tiger at a swaying pace.

The bright red paint outlined his mouth and face, presenting everyone with a weird smile and absurdity. He said in a sharp and high voice:

"Welcome everyone, I will perform a clown show for you today."

The audience outside the stadium cheered and shouted instantly.

The clown bent slightly, arched his feet outward, untied the rope around the tiger's neck, and then laughed:

"Hey! You silly tiger, just like Jack the Sheep!"

The tiger roared, showing its sharp teeth, and then attacked the clown.

The clown turned slightly sideways and contracted his abdomen inward to avoid the tiger's attack. The clown continued to taunt:

"Hey! Kitten, haven't you eaten?"

The tiger stood upright on its hind legs, and swatted the clown hard with its two huge forearms. The clown seemed not to notice the danger, and was swatted back and flew away.

"Ah! I'm going to die!"

The clown made a horrifying sound, then faced down, and a large pool of crimson slowly flowed out from the ground.

The staff did not show up at this time.

The audience outside the venue began to scream wildly, with a hint of fear and excitement, and Sijada felt slightly uncomfortable.

Furnady hugged Ubermo's arm tightly, and Ubermo patted the back of her hand, and then said softly:

"This is a show!"

After swatting the clown away, the tiger suddenly jumped towards the audience in the stands. In an instant, the hooks protruding from the soles of its feet hooked on the barbed wire fence, causing the barbed wire fence to continuously shake and make a loud sound.

The audience facing the tiger screamed in fear, covered their eyes with their hands, and some even rolled back in fear. The scene was a bit chaotic.

"Hey! Kitty, you're not using any force!" The clown suddenly stood up, then touched his oily face stained with crimson, wiped the dusty crimson with his fingers, then stretched out his long and slender tongue and licked it Finger, then swallowed it, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showed a weird smile, and said with unfinished meaning:

"I need a little more blood, will you provide it to me, kitten?"

The tiger instantly jumped down and made a deafening roar. Every time the clown faced the tiger's attack, he narrowly avoided it with his extremely strong body flexibility and balance. Sometimes he would be shot away by various things, either by stone walls or It's a barbed wire fence that spurts out crimson liquid every time.

The crimson liquid splashed through the barbed wire and onto the faces of the audience. The brave ones licked it slightly, and then said in surprise:

"It's ketchup!"

At this time, the audience realized that the other party was performing and there was no danger to their lives at all.

Falling from the barbed wire fence, the clown clicked his fingers and snapped his fingers. The tiger instantly sat up obediently and exposed his tongue.

Sijiada looked at all this, silent and did not speak.

Back at Fuwei Garden, it was almost evening.

After dinner, Ubermo took out the oil painting from the illusory sea of ​​stars, and then came to Sijiada's room.
