Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

When the middle-aged man stood up, he took out something from his pocket with his right hand, which was an ordinary-looking monocle that seemed to be made of polished crystal.

However, all nearby members of the assembly who were paying attention to this unusual scene quickly stood up and retreated. Two people even screamed, as if they could really avoid the parasite by distancing themselves.

The movements of several people suddenly stopped, and their black robes fell off due to violent struggling movements.

Even though their bodies were frozen in place and their eyes were still filled with fear, their hands were grabbing at the air uncontrollably. The same style of monocle appeared on the right hand, was held tightly, and slowly moved towards their right eyes.

The middle-aged man smiled and put his monocle into his right eye socket. He turned to the person wrapped in a red cloak leisurely and reached out to put his hand on her shoulder: "Don't you think this is a very dramatic scene?"

Esther raised her head, and while shaking off her hand, the red cloak also slipped down behind her head. She watched the middle-aged man's physical changes indifferently, watching his gray hair become curly and black, his facial features becoming younger, and the long windbreaker on his body gradually changed into a black classical robe.

Putting the soft peaked hat on his head, Amon in front of him smiled and nodded at Esther, still maintaining the gentlemanly but arrogant attitude of a middle-aged man.

Esther's figure disappeared in the blink of an eye, but did not leave too far. Instead, she appeared directly at the back of several rows of stone chairs. She stretched out her right hand in the direction of Amon, but before Esther's palm could be closed, , another figure had appeared behind her, and put his hand on Esther's shoulder again.

This action may seem like a kind gesture of relief, but in reality it is a threatening warning.

This is a woman with gray hair pulled up into a ponytail, but now she has a smile just like Amon's on her face and a monocle in her eye socket.

The strange lady said: "Our target is not you, will you be afraid too?"

Esther turned back and suddenly laughed: "There is no need for me to lie anymore. Although I am scared, I am not as worried as others."

The strange lady grabbed the back collar of the bright red cloak with a very rough force, as if she wanted to tear it apart: "I'm a little curious, what is the key word to activate this cloak?"

Esther just sneered and closed her mouth tightly. The cloak did not take the initiative to swallow the opponent's flesh and blood, which made her suspect that the power from the "True Creator" had been briefly "stolen."

When did this happen? Could it be when the middle-aged man sat next to me?

The force on the back of the collar loosened again, and the hand fell back on Esther's shoulder: "Look, even if you are involved with those traitors, your actions completely betrayed my father's expectations for you. I’m not going to kill you all. This is a rare tolerance, and you can definitely feel happier.”

"It's so funny. Isn't it because He wants to use me?"

"You are a little smarter than we thought. Is it because you have lost something very important and have grown up?" The clone whispered, lightly patted Esther's shoulder, and suddenly a flash of light flashed across her monocle. A stream of light.

Esther's right eyebrow suddenly throbbed, and a strong sense of dizziness rushed into her mind. A buzzing sound covered her originally clear consciousness, interrupting her desire to move her position again.

She breathed rapidly and had to close her eyes tightly to suppress the marks that suddenly appeared in her eyes.

After causing a commotion in the hall due to the appearance of a monocle, Benjamin just adjusted his glasses without making any unnecessary movements, allowing the few "thieves" who did not react quickly enough to be parasitized by other clones of Amon.

Only by waiting for them to complete their parasitism can subsequent locking be more convenient.

Benjamin stared at the clone closest to Esther. Since he appeared here in the appearance of that middle-aged man, Gad Jacob might have met with misfortune. According to time, it probably happened in the past two days.

Are these clones acting on their own now, wanting to come here to have some fun, or are they being ordered by the main body to target me? For Esther?

It is impossible for the main body to give up control of this gathering easily. This is a good opportunity to trap the wandering "thieves" in the palm of your hand. He cannot be targeting the group of extraordinary people who participate in the "Hermits of Destiny".

Yet Benjamin was unable to ascertain their true purpose.

He looked at the parasitized people, waiting for them to put their monocles into their eye sockets, and put on smiles with exactly the same arc on their faces. Benjamin also raised the corners of his mouth slightly. His smile was similar to that of the other clones, but very different.

And when the gray-haired lady whispered something to Esther, he saw the disdain in Esther's response, and then Esther suddenly closed her eyes with a gloomy expression. Benjamin narrowed his eyes slightly. .

Very good, it seems that their goal is obvious. The guy who took Gad's fake appearance even suppressed Esther's cloak from the beginning, so that clone dared to take action...

Benjamin never responded to the calls of the Jacobites and Zoroasters. It was not until those people were completely parasitized and put on a monocle in their right eye that Benjamin raised his hand.

His next action was also very simple. He slapped his left hand hard on the palm of his right hand, and an ancient Hermetic word was shouted from his mouth at the same time: "Time."

Esther finally got out of the dizziness and buzzing sound, and clearly heard the lady beside her sigh: "He was too decisive, he thought he would cooperate with us and play a little longer."

Before Esther tried to change positions, a very subtle voice was directly passed into her ears: "You have to open your eyes and see who Benjamin is."

Esther's expression froze, and the marks in her eyes had not completely dissipated. When she heard these words, she had already subconsciously looked at Benjamin standing in the middle of the hall.

In the chaos of perception, there is a point that can swallow up the black hole that fate sees.

Esther quickly closed her eyes again and lowered her head.

When Benjamin said that word, the "thieves" in the entire hall felt a strong sense of oppression gushing out from the soles of their feet.

Silver light quickly spread out from Benjamin's feet, filling the dial on the ground in the blink of an eye.

The black pointer shadow began to rotate, and the distant and vague bell rang, making everyone who stayed in the hall to participate in this gathering feel trance-like as their spiritual bodies shook.

When the figure of the clone Amon appeared behind him, Benjamin just frowned and clapped his hands again.

The bells vibrated in the hall again, all the hour hands on the ground emitted silver light, and a ghost orchid outlined with golden symbols bloomed at Benjamin's feet.

The clone's black robe kept shaking, his figure began to twist, and the palm that wanted to touch the back of Benjamin's neck was frozen in mid-air, but on that thin face, the smile was deeper: "Your mission is almost over. Yes, Ben."

Such a whisper came to his ears. Benjamin remained unmoved, but clapped his hands harder for the third time.

Benjamin then turned his head and looked at the clone with a smile, his lake-green eyes reflecting the darkness: "I know, but I have nothing to be afraid of."

I've always known where I ended up, just as I've always known who I am.

She's the only one who doesn't know.

The shadow of the ghost orchid floated from the ground, and the curly silver light turned into long tentacle-like whiskers. It poked out at the moment when several Amon clones were frozen, and quickly penetrated all their figures.

The clone of Amon behind Benjamin looked at Benjamin in surprise. It was precisely because he understood "himself" that this clone felt unbelievable at Benjamin's reply, but before he could say anything else, his figure was completely broken and blurred.

The ends of the tendrils were curled up, and several Insects of Time that were no longer active were bound to them. Several people who had just been parasitized had also fallen weakly to the ground. Although their breath was weak, they were still alive.

Several Insects of Time were drawn directly into the ground by the phantom. The dial on the floor of the hall gradually dimmed its light, the rotating hands returned to calmness again, and the crowd gathered on the other side of the hall quickly calmed down.

The old leader of the Jacob family coughed twice and gestured for everyone to find their seats again: "This is not the first time that his clone has infiltrated, so there is no need to panic."

"It has been thirty-one years since the last time. Most people have never experienced this, so we can understand their uneasiness." The woman who headed the Zoroastrian family said softly, but her voice spread very widely and could almost be heard clearly. fell on everyone's ears.

Since it had happened before and had similar experiences, many people felt relieved. As for those who had doubts, they would pretend to be superficial after being comforted by the two family leaders.

But now there's another target left that seems easy to question and isolate.

Esther adjusted the red cloak that had been pulled by the clone, and pulled up the hood again to block the prying eyes of those who no longer concealed their malice. Even if she didn't care about those people's doubts, she would still feel uncomfortable under such onlookers.

When Esther leaned down to check on the gray-haired lady, several men in black robes walked up quickly, stopped her vigilantly, and quickly picked up the unconscious people and dragged them away:

"Sorry, please stay away from these people and sit back in your original position. There is no need to trouble you here."

The other party's tone was stiff.

The development that Benjamin expected came, and Esther knew that she would soon face questioning from others - she was obviously the person closest to Amon, but she was not directly parasitized? She even had further communication with Amon's clone, which looked suspicious from head to toe.

The gift of the "True Creator" is a good saying, but it will only further stimulate others. After all, this is the venue of the "Hermits of Destiny", not the Aurora Society.

Esther quietly sat back on the original stone chair, but her eyes remained on the ground, not looking at Benjamin.

Happy Mid-autumn Festival. Today's people cannot see the moon of ancient times, but today's moon once shone on the ancients. They looked at the bright moon together to know the mood of autumn, and enjoyed the festival together while appreciating the beautiful lady.

Thank you all for your continued support. Let’s eat some mooncakes. The third update is today.
