Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Esther looked at the light spots suspended in the air. They no longer trembled or floated around irregularly, nor did they outline the shape of a circle or Mobius. They were as still as fine dots left by ink.

Esther remembered that the last time something strange like this happened was when she recited Mr. Fool's honorable name.

She raised her right hand upwards and made a grabbing motion towards the light spots.

The next moment, they all returned to the top of her head, dyeing Esther's silver hair color again.

In addition to the stronger control over the light spots, Esther discovered that "Zoya"'s ability officially had information, directly emerging in her consciousness.

"Restarting", "recycling" and giving others good luck and bad luck, and the erosion of destiny are part of "Zoya's" instinct, not just the scope of his abilities.

But Esther still cannot use a complete "restart" and can only target "individuals" with close destiny. But she can drive the light points to distribute them within a range of about fifty meters, and let them circle the area for about a day. cycle.

Esther herself will not be restricted by the "loop". This is definitely a powerful skill that is convenient for escaping. It just needs corresponding time to arrange and find a way to let the opponent enter this range.

"Spirituality" has always been a vague concept to Esther, but now she can clearly feel the extraordinary power contained in her body and mobilize these spirits, especially in her blood.

What makes Esther even more surprised is the qualitative change in her "stealing" ability. She no longer needs any actions to steal the other party's ideas. She can also steal some more conceptual things, including spatial distance, but there are also limitations, and the maximum is only ten per time. rice.

In addition, the most important thing is that she can transform her own form and parasitize other creatures.

What makes Esther silent is that the form that condenses when she is parasitic is not the Worm of Time, but a skylark.

She patted her forehead and accepted it happily.

Since you can't get rid of it, you can only treat it as a "special situation", as long as it does not affect the performance of your abilities.

Esther picked up the "Pale Bone Nail" again. This time it did not blend into her palm, as if it was strongly rejected. Esther released part of the light points and melted them into the sword body, forcing it to transform into the shape of a ring, which fit on her little finger.

After all, it extended part of the way and was connected to Esther's finger bones.

This bone sword has deepened my fear...

Esther rubbed the cold bone-colored ring twice, stuffed the silver half-face mask into her bag, and took out the harmonica again.

It's time to look for the parasite she wants.

She did not walk deeper into the forest, but tried to steal the distance. Her figure occasionally flashed among the tree crowns, startling a few birds that were napping in their nests. When she flashed under the tree, Esther almost stepped on a snake. She stole the second ability in time and settled on the grass a few meters away.

Not long after she played "Moonlight", groups of animals that heard the sound were attracted and began to gather in this direction.

In the end, Esther fell in love with an owl. This large bird was sandstone in color and covered with short black stripes. It looked very easy to blend into the background color of the tree trunk. The tawny ear tufts protrude from both sides of its forehead, and the claws clasped on the branches look quite powerful.

This was in line with Esther's needs for flying. If it weren't for the fact that there were a lot of things in her backpack, she wouldn't be able to give up decisively, and there would be no need for Esther to specifically choose the largest bird on the field.

In that case, she might give priority to the two larks that try to land on her shoulders.

Esther placed her backpack on the ground and stared at the owl she had targeted. She drove away the two larks that were resting on her shoulders and took a deep breath.

Her figure instantly became distorted and blurred, as if it were paper that had been crumpled into a ball in an instant, and a ball of light with a trail like a meteor flew out at high speed. In the dark night, people could clearly see its bird-like appearance.

The surrounding animals and birds panicked out of instinctive fear and fled away, but the speed of the light group was faster. When the owl could open its wings, it crashed straight into this owl. The chest of a nocturnal bird.

The owl fell from the branch. When it opened its eyes again, its original tiger-eye stone eyes had become pale, and circles of radiating rings were scattered in its eyes, which soon disappeared and recovered. Round black pupils.

However, the pattern on the owl's head gradually turned laurel yellow, including the two pointed ear tufts, which destroyed the original protective color of the bird's feathers, making it look particularly conspicuous.

The owl's forelimbs extended outwards, and a small section of white bone was exposed outside the feathers, as if it was bald due to injury.

Esther didn't spend much time getting used to the bird's body. She rolled up from the ground very naturally, scratched the ground with her claws twice, spread out her broad wings nearly half a meter long, and flew up with one easy leap. .

Esther was not at all uncomfortable with the lightness and erratic nature of being as comfortable as a fish in water. She was full of the freedom to integrate into her instincts. The wind passing by her wings seemed to be caressing her soul.

The owl made a long whistling sound, which sounded eerie and strange. Esther flew over the canopy of the tree excitedly, turned around in the air, and circled twice in the night wind.

Because of her transformation just now, the only birds nearby were the two skylarks. Regardless of the size difference and the pressure brought by the raptors, they followed the shadow cast by Esther's wings and sang softly.

To Esther's surprise, she actually understood some of the meaning of their calls. It was different from written human communication, but it expressed very sincere enthusiasm.

Esther made a threatening "wow" sound, and the two larks seemed to understand what she meant. After a more cheerful farewell, they turned and flew into the trees below.

Because "Zoya" once used skylarks as incarnations, so I also have some kind of special connection with them?

Esther turned twice more under the crimson moonlight, identifying the direction in the distance. After fully enjoying the fun brought by her new body, she suddenly folded her wings and dived downwards.

Quickly slipping through the gaps in the tree canopy, Esther opened her sharp claws, tightly grasped the top of her satchel, picked it up and raised it up again.

The owl she chose was large enough to hold on to the satchel and move on.

Esther flapped her wings and moved quietly and happily through the night. The air flow beat with her heart and lifted under her wings.

The far away owl glided across the valley, its broad wings flapping from time to time, overlooking the scenery below.

She gradually turned into a black dot on the horizon.

——

In the early morning, as soon as the edge of the sky turned white, this valley, which had no access and was almost untouched, welcomed another visitor.

The black bird folded its wings, squatted on the top of the tree, and kept turning its head to look around.

This is a crow with white feathers around its right eye.

The animals in the woods have returned to their normal routine, as if nothing happened here last night.

A bark-colored rabbit lay in the bushes, turning its ears alertly, fearful of any predators in the treetops. A butterfly landed on the leaves of dandelion grass, avoiding the condensed dew. Its gray-white wings slowly stretched, opening and closing. The ant swayed its tentacles and crawled across the tree trunk, but soon it stopped and its right tentacles turned white.

The two skylarks squatted next to each other on the root of the tree. This was not in line with their physiological habits, but they squatted here all night. The skylark occasionally makes a clear and melodious chirp, and from time to time it whispers to the other person, as if it is dissatisfied.

No creature noticed the crow that fell into the woods for the first time, as if it didn't exist at all.

However, the two skylarks suddenly turned their heads at the same time, staring at the ant on the tree trunk, and then spread their wings in panic at the same time, trying to fly from the tree root where they were squatting.

The next moment, they fell from the air one after another, and their ability to "move" was stolen. The two skylarks let out high-pitched screams in panic, but they were stiff and unable to move.

The crow flew down from the treetops and circled curiously twice around the two larks. Soon, the circles in the right eyes of the two larks gradually turned black. They stopped struggling and rolled up from the ground again.

One of the skylarks turned its eyes in a circle: "She put on a 'parasite' monocle that was deliberately passed down a hundred years ago, a family item."

Another skylark answered like a double act: "This kind of thing is obviously the main body's plan. What a fool."

"The conflict reaction when the lens was destroyed was very exciting. I recorded the scene of her screaming and rolling on the ground holding her head. It was very memorable."

"But 'Zoya' protected its host, and the properties contained in those glasses were finally safely absorbed. What a lucky guy."

The skylark who said these words flapped its wings twice and took the lead to fly to a clearing next to the roots of the tree, leading the crow to fly there as well.

After the two skylarks were deeply parasitized, Amon in their bodies gained the memory of last night and clearly knew what had happened here.

The white-eyed crow followed the skylark to the ground. Its black eyes shone as it caught some of the remaining things. It stretched out its slender claws to carefully turn over the soil, and soon dug up two fragments of the frame.

"It's a pity that the tracking was interrupted, otherwise I could have arrived earlier." The crow jumped back and forth on the ground twice. On the surface, he did not show any loss, but seemed very excited. "That unlucky parasitic 'audience' concealed It knows its own whereabouts, but how can it completely hide its identity from the main body..."

The two skylarks looked at each other. Because of the unequal information they knew, they were too cautious to answer the conversation, but asked: "Then what should we do next?"

"She parasitized an owl and flew east. Should we continue chasing her?"

The crow tilted his head and looked at them: "Why are you chasing? The bait dropped by the body has already fallen into the fish's mouth. Just wait for her to bite the hook."

The skylark that took the initiative to lead the way nodded: "We can't continue squatting here. It's boring, and there's no way she can return here."

"Help me find the unlucky man's grave. I can vaguely feel that his bones are in the woods some distance away. We have left a large-scale location method on him."

The white-eyed crow took to the sky again, followed by two black-eyed larks.
