Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

In an absolutely silent environment, the internal sounds of the human body can become quite noisy. Without external sounds, the sounds originating from one's own body will also appear in one's feelings, and sometimes it can even make people upset.

A completely silent world will only make people who are accustomed to hearing noises extremely panicked. After being completely cut off from receiving information from the world, the first thing to emerge is confusion.

Esther tipped her ears gently.

Her subconscious move made the young man wearing a monocle opposite laugh and bend over. He waved to Esther and disappeared behind the trees again.

Esther felt as if the crow above her head was nibbling at her head. She could only guess what it said, but she could not hear the sound at all, which almost cut off the possibility of communication.

Esther took two steps outside the woods, and here was already the edge of the beach.

She saw a circular mark made of several stones, but the map formed in her mind clearly showed that this was not the place where she originally left the mark. This was not the same place as the beach where she placed the stones. At opposite ends of the diagonal.

What is His purpose in proposing this sick game? To watch me be tortured? Waiting for me to collapse?

The more Amon acted like this, the more Esther wanted to grit her teeth and persevere, not wanting any of his plans to succeed.

Esther pulled out the iron piece and wrote on the beach:

"I can't hear, He stole the sound"

The crow flew down from above her head and skillfully drew another line of font on the ground with its claws: "No wonder you didn't respond at all when I talked to you. What should I do now?"

Esther weighed it for two seconds, then clenched the iron piece again:

"I have to keep looking for the rest."

After Esther turned her attention to it, the crow nodded and flew back to her head.

Esther stood up again, put the iron piece back into the compartment of her bag, and looked into the distance where the sea and the sky meet.

Nothing was different from the first night.

It's just that without the never-ending sound of waves, such a vast sea is particularly lonely.

It was dark at night, and Esther used a wooden stick to push away the grass. In a way, she had to thank Amon for being parasitic, which saved her from being troubled by wild animals or mosquitoes.

After losing her hearing, her perception of the outside world became dull, which was something she had never experienced before. Even though she could see the sights, but could not feel the sounds, she lost the last trace of false security.

There is only silence, so silent that it makes people feel depressed and panicked. There is still a heartbeat when pressing the hand on the chest, but you can't hear the beating of the heart at all.

Esther would always subconsciously pick out her own ears, use a wooden gun to knock on the obstacles in sight, hammer the tree trunk twice or turn over the bushes hard. She grabbed the rocks on the ground and threw them out hard. The ground made a dent in the tree trunk opposite, and large leaves fell - silence, silent silence, all sounds from the outside world were completely cut off, and there was only a silence that was so quiet that it almost drove people crazy.

Could it be that silence can be such a frightening thing?

Esther crushed a branch under her feet and imagined the crisp sound it would make.

The voice of "spiritual intuition" suddenly became clear. This process did not require hearing, but was directly instilled into Esther's perception.

[...feelings. ]

He spoke Chinese, a Chinese language that was outside the language system of this world. Esther muttered these two words silently in her mind after hearing the vague murmurs in her mind. Her thoughts had become the only remaining sound, which allowed Esther to get rid of her anxiety and reconsider the meaning of this prompt.

Even though she knew to "feel", what could she do now?

Esther walked to the source of the stream again. She squatted by the water, inserted her hands into the flowing stream, picked up a handful of water and buried her face in it.

The cooler temperature of the water effectively restored Esther's composure.

The crow with white circles flew to the rocks by the stream. His eyes never left Esther's expression until she turned her head over. The crow tilted its head curiously and said nothing.

Even if it was said, Esther couldn't hear it, so it let out an unbridled chuckle.

However, Esther's eyes suddenly changed. Her face was full of disbelief. She subconsciously moved a step towards the crow and stared at it doubtfully.

The crow made no movement and made no more noise.

There were many voices in places where Esther couldn't hear them. Because Esther's hearing was stolen, they seemed to be more and more unscrupulous. There were even unknown creatures that were laughing at the unlucky resident bird that was caught before. crab. These discussions were in high spirits, like an audience watching a wonderful circus, and one after another they made suggestions to the crow, such as suddenly threatening Esther.

Crow raised his head and glanced at the guys in the shadows indifferently. Esther also looked at them and bit her lips unconsciously, which made the talking voices quieter.

Of course Esther didn't hear those voices, but she could still "smell" the salty-sweet fragrance that became stronger, and knew that there were many creatures parasitized by Amon lurking nearby, and they surrounded her again.

If she could seize the opportunity, she wouldn't mind adding a little more "energy".

She stood up again, stretched out, and fighting spirit appeared in her eyes again. While looking for the next thing, she tried to train that "feeling" according to the guidance of "spiritual intuition".

Just like the moment I saw Xiao Qi smiling, I seemed to have barely received a message. Although it was very much like a trance-like illusion, if I tried my best to amplify that feeling, I might be able to escape from "hearing". Be aware of the outside world!

Esther concluded in her mind and realized that the situation was not desperate. She slapped her stiff cheeks twice to cheer up.

Crow felt a little uncomfortable. "Esther's" overly positive attitude was deviating from his expectations. If "Zoya" refused to show up, the development of this game of waiting for the arrival of the main body would be somewhat boring.

What on earth is the body struggling with? The clone that sent the message should have arrived a long time ago. Why hasn't it come yet? Could it be that he is being entangled?

Esther waved to the crow, and it immediately spread its wings and flew down on top of her head. At least this position made the crow very satisfied, much better than the shoulder...

It narrowed its eyes again to dispel the distortion caused by Esther's perception.

——

When the new day's sunshine penetrated the shade of the trees and fell on Esther's eyes, she suddenly stopped and stopped opening the vines with her hands.

She wasn't sure if it was because she was too quiet and had been thinking about the conversation with herself for too long, so she had some kind of illusion. Esther seemed to "hear" some kind of sound, a faint and tiny murmur, even quite far apart. It only appeared for a moment and then disappeared, making it difficult for her to identify clearly.

To go or not to go? As soon as this idea came up, she made up her mind to investigate. Now any touch would make Esther, who had lost her hearing and speech, particularly concerned.

Esther's sudden firm steps made the crow above her smack its lips in dissatisfaction.

After walking a few hundred meters in this direction, Esther felt the faint call again. She couldn't wait to speed up her pace, and quickly climbed over the bushes and collapsed tree stumps blocking the road. The terrain here was much more rugged than the last time she passed by. It seemed that it had been damaged by external forces. Esther nimbly bypassed two potholes covered by grass and picked out several thorns on the road. .

Such a childish trap made her laugh, and it seemed more like it was deliberately annoying Esther, who should know that this kind of thing would be of no use.

Could it be because of the banana peel from before? Or was it my attempt at stealing? How childish and petty.

Esther shook her head and followed the direction from which the "call" came. The sound directly transmitted into her perception became clearer and clearer, like a childish cry.

Her heart suddenly tightened.

Esther rushed to the thorn bush, and after observing it twice, she picked up another branch from the ground, stirred it back and forth with the wooden gun and the branch, and pulled away all the thorns covering it, gradually revealing There was a mass underneath, wrapped in a gray-white bandage.

Esther couldn't wait to reach out and fish it out. Her fingers were trembling slightly. After using the iron piece to peel away the bandage covered with traces of decay, the contents inside were quickly revealed.

It was an egg with a faint yellow light inside, as if someone had been pieced together impatiently, and some kind of resin-like substance was used to glue the cracks on the outside of the eggshell, allowing it to barely maintain its shape.

That call came from within.

Esther just exerted a little force, and the outer eggshell broke into several pieces along the cracks. A weightless bird skeleton rolled out, fell into her palm, and then quickly turned into ashes as time started to pass again. powder.

A cluster of light spots flew out from the powder and jumped towards Esther with joy, dyeing a strand of hair on her forehead with light cinnamon yellow.

Esther put her fingers on the strand of hair that had regained its color, feeling their desire to return across thousands of years. After losing her hearing, Esther captured the voices of these offspring so vividly for the first time.

Is this... something Amon stole from "Zoya"? Did he steal the child of "Zoya"?

Esther looked down and saw something long and slender lying quietly among the broken eggshell fragments, taking on the shape of a clock hand.

"Spiritual intuition" tells Esther that this is the "key".

All that's missing is the last snake.

The crow above Esther was a little dissatisfied with her reaction. It was originally expecting a scene of crying and crying, but it didn't expect Esther to be so indifferent.

Esther picked up the pointer-looking key and stuffed it into her bag, feeling like she was playing some kind of exploration game. She reached out and rubbed her ears again, it would be nice if the punishment in this game wasn't so vicious.

She couldn't see the crow above her suddenly turning its head and casting a glance at the woods behind her.

The crow with white circles felt that the "game" was progressing a little too fast and it was time to delay.

Cheating? How can this be considered cheating?

From the beginning, this was just entertainment while waiting, no game.
