Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

As for why this resentful spirit is trapped in the glass frame, Xiao Qi gave an answer related to the extraordinary ability of the "witch".

"The Mirror World?"

"The world in the mirror is not a complete and independent world. It is not like the material world we live in or the spiritual world that overlaps with it, nor does it involve another world where gods live. The essence of the world in the mirror is to build a path to another world. The passages of layers of mysterious kingdoms connect different mirrors.”

Esther looked at the crying skinless face at the head of the bed: "That means this passage is not fixed."

"Yes, if you get lost in it, the mirror world may lead to anywhere, not limited to reality. Only some extraordinary people with special abilities can use the power or passage of the mirror world without getting lost in it. .”

"She shouldn't be at that level? You just said that 'Witch' only has Sequence Seven."

"I'm afraid she was blocked when she tried to deflect someone else's attack through a mirror avatar, and then was directly deprived of life by the other party. She died even before she could fully use this ability, leaving only a little bit of residual soul attached to resentment."

Xiaoqi talked about his speculations. Analyzing through clues is the specialty of "decryption scholar". The large amount of knowledge stored in its mind makes it understand all kinds of situations more comprehensively than Esther.

Esther gradually came up with a clearer plan: "If I find another mirror, can I move her out? It's better than letting her stay in here."

"Then the mirror you found will most likely gain the ability to be similar to a magical item, but it can only last for a very short period of time, and then the transferred spirit will dissipate. After all, you don't have the proper means to preserve the spirit."

Esther frowned, she really couldn't save her even if the King of Hell came - no, no, what if there really is a King of Hell in this world? So many gods have shown their traces, so we can't think about it in this way.

That face was looking at her closely, and at this moment, Esther seemed to vaguely understand the meaning in that look.

help me.

It doesn't want to be trapped inside this glass anymore.

Even if it means destruction, it wants to be free.

Esther patted her forehead, and the surrounding light spots gathered with her movements, and stuck to her hair obediently: "Forget it, that's it, I will buy a mirror tomorrow. If I can find a cheaper portable flip-top A mirror would be fine.”

"Why can you empathize with everything?" Xiao Qi was bored by Esther's excessive "compassion".

A fake smile appeared on Esther's lips: "How did I know that she was lucky to meet me."

The resentful spirit in the painting seemed to be able to understand Esther's words. It closed its eyes gratefully, and the tears that kept falling from the corners of its eyes gradually faded. Until the first ray of sunlight shines into this room from the window, the skinless face naturally disappears in the reflection of the glass, leaving no trace.

Its daybreak.

——

In the early morning, Xiao Qi finally chose to stay in the hotel room, while Esther took Xiao Wu, who had been sleeping, and went out alone.

Now, she was sitting in a cafe, habitually ordering a copy of the "Backlund Morning News" and reading it with hot cocoa and cheese toast. She was looking for any advertisements for goods purchased by Ernst Trading Company. That was the signal for the gathering of underground extraordinary people.

She browsed the front page headlines: "Yesterday, the noble Duke Negan was assassinated, and the real devil was ravaging the land."

Because Esther saw the keyword "Aurora Society" in the detailed report, she re-read the article from the first line and quickly read the summary. This Duke assassination case ended with the suspect Patrick Jason being shot dead on the spot. In the end, according to the article, the terrorist organization Aurora claimed responsibility.

Aurora will be so crazy? Do you dare to take on such a big thing?

Esther was a little surprised. Although a Duke was a noble class that she would never come into contact with and was extremely far away from her life, Mr. A of the Aurora Society and "Listener" Norn Murphy left Esther with The shadow cast by him is still quite large, and nothing that an overly crazy Extraordinary person does seems to be an accident.

Esther had no interest in inquiring into the specific situation. Most people had the same mentality when they saw "big news" that had nothing to do with them. Just take a look and be done with it.

In the end, she didn't see the Ernst Trading Company advertisement, so she had to eat the rest of her breakfast while trying to recall the strange dream last night.

The white snake felt so familiar to her. She must have sensed similar power somewhere.

The "spiritual intuition" in her mind was slightly touched, and Esther's hand paused. The previous experience of running to the cemetery for no reason appeared in her memory.

Green Cemetery? that time……

She found a birch tree that had been dug up near the roots!

After hurriedly finishing her breakfast, Esther boarded the steam train, then transferred to a public carriage and went straight to the Green Cemetery on the outskirts of the West End. She decided to confirm it again.

Miraculously, at the gate of the cemetery, Esther saw a lady who gave her a strong sense of familiarity. Although she could not clearly see the other person's face under the black gauze hat, she could only see the lady's slightly curly hair hanging down to her chest. Brown hair. The lady walked slowly and slowly, walking next to another middle-aged gentleman. The gentleman was holding a bouquet of delicate flowers in his hand. It was obvious that he was here to visit someone.

Especially that lady, she felt a little too familiar to Esther, she must have communicated somewhere before.

Esther lowered her eyes and patted her forehead with her palms, as if she was trying to repair an antique desktop TV with a slightly poor signal, the kind that didn't exist in this world.

"...the familiarity brought by the astral spirit body?"

Her spiritual intuition went to work reluctantly, barely squeezing out a little feedback and then returned to silence. However, Esther quickly thought of the Tarot Society - where everyone was pulled into the gray mist in the state of their souls. The spiritual body in occultism, and its external manifestation is the astral body!

After having such an association, Esther's target person quickly settled on the "magician". She observed the lady's lazy temperament and there was basically no one else.

Want to go up and say hello?

Esther was a little hesitant. On the surface, there was almost no real intersection between the people in the Tarot Society. They were scattered in various fields and social circles. Even the paths were not the same for anyone. The "Fool's" selection criteria seemed to be quite similar. random.

The fact that she went up to say hello so rashly seemed more likely to dissatisfy the other party. Although Miss Magician seemed easy-going, she definitely didn't want others to know that she believed in a god of unknown origin. It would be too risky to recognize her. .

Esther had no choice but to slow down and instead of following the two of them, she turned towards the direction in her memory outside the cemetery.

The lady suddenly turned her head and looked in this direction blankly. What fell into her sky-blue eyes was a black figure with a hood on her back. It looked particularly familiar, and inexplicably made her feel a little familiar.

Have you met this person somewhere?

——

Esther's search in the Green Cemetery still found nothing. She let the light point sink into the ground again to explore, but she still didn't get any feedback. There was nothing below.

After wasting a lot of time, Esther went to the Jowood District and found a small flip-top dressing mirror in a department store. It was about the same size as her palm. She stuffed it directly into her shoulder bag. It was no better than the one with a Balam. The sand hammer with a romantic pattern takes up more space.

If she hadn't packed her backpack today, Esther would have almost forgotten about this thing. It had hardly been used for anything, but she couldn't bear to throw it away, so she had to keep it with her. Esther assigned a few light spots to blend into it. , so as to isolate the "rustling" sound it makes from time to time.

After paying the eight soles and ten pennies in cash, Esther simply spent the rest of the afternoon playing music in the Cherwood area. It was not until dusk in the evening that she took the roasted whole chicken with stuffing and milk pudding from the nearby restaurant and took a ride. The stagecoach went to Minsk Street, where Klein lived.

I said goodbye to my fellow villager the day before yesterday, but I have been putting it off until now. I just hope that he is still at home and has not gone out to do errands.

Not long after Klein returned home from the Brave Bar, he once again heard from Miss Sharon that there was a tomb belonging to the Amon family in White Cliff Town.

Klein hadn't had time to tell Sharon and Maric that he had acquired the ghost properties of human skin. He thought the danger there was not that high, but after hearing that Maric's friend had not heard from him again, he had no idea about this mausoleum. The judgment was re-judged.

Unexpectedly, the fellow villager took the risk and went to such a dangerous place. Maric's friends may be the same group of people Esther met at that time. This incident made Klein's spiritual intuition vaguely uneasy, and he decisively planned to give this clue to the "Mechanical Heart", and he might even get some gold pounds as reward.

If you are in doubt, let the official extraordinary person take over.

But now is not the time to talk about "business". There is still a while before the transaction time agreed between Klein and Emlyn White, which is enough for him to have a leisurely dinner at home.

Esther and Klein were sitting at the dining table, and it wasn't until the two of them had finished eating that she mentioned the strange things she encountered yesterday, including the abnormality that occurred during the fight with Galvin.

"In other words, when your consciousness becomes blank, His consciousness appears..."

Klein immediately recalled that during the Tingen period, when he was on duty at Chanis Gate at midnight, he encountered "Esther" who was sleepwalking and grabbed the sealed artifact "Doom Puppet". "She" even shouted out her own words in Chinese at that time name.

This is very strange. How does this unidentified existence know this? Can he share Esther's memory?

"This experience is indeed quite dangerous, but there must be no next time! If He wakes up frequently, no one knows what will happen."

Esther nodded vigorously: "I know, I originally just wanted to steal my anger and at least calm myself down. But I still overestimated my ability and failed to do this..."

"The idea is good. Maybe you can do it when you advance to a higher rank."

"Speaking of which, there is one more thing that concerns me."

Klein poured new hot black tea for the two of them. It is always comfortable to drink something warm on a cold day: "What? Did you really find a clue to your promotion?"

"It should be. I dreamed of a very lonely wilderness, and there was a big silver-white snake coiled on the top of a black spire."

Klein showed his curiosity just right without revealing the turmoil in his heart:

"Is this a revelatory dream? And then what?"

"Then when I got closer, I disturbed it and I woke up."

Klein wanted to laugh a little.

Esther was probably driven out by Will Ascetin.
