Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

The magician was fully prepared for this extreme performance tonight, but he had no intention of bringing an assistant.

Esther, who had no idea about this, left the hotel room at seven o'clock in the evening. She changed from the subway to the public carriage, and then came to the next door to Iris Street.

Entering a deserted alley, Esther quickly turned over her black cloak, exposing her green side, and put on another black mask. This time, she only left her eyes and breathing nostrils exposed. outside.

Light yellow spots fell from Esther's hair, and after just a few breaths, her hair completely turned silver.

And those flying light points continued to converge on Esther's face, superimposing a chaotic and mysterious light on the mask, as if forming an endless connected wheel and stream, forming a strange shell that was half virtual and half real.

What made Esther uncomfortable was that after these light spots penetrated her face, they actually "sewed" the black iron mask directly onto her face, almost blending in with her.

The light spots under the mask are intertwined, creating a synapse that looks like the intersection of nerve endings.

Esther breathed a sigh of relief after the process was over. She didn't expect that the temporary transfer of these light spots would have such a strange effect.

When Esther passed the garbage dump deep in the alley, she looked at her face through some broken lenses nearby and found that the material of the entire black iron mask had almost been changed, but under the translucent shell with strange light , what is revealed is not Esther's face, but the light spots that change light and dark with every breath she takes.

If someone wanted to cause trouble later, they would only notice the mask and the light spots, including the exposed silver hair.

But just as Esther nimbly climbed over a fence and stepped on a corner of Kapin Garden, a loud noise came from the house.

"Boom!"

The flames danced carnivally, leaping out of the room and instantly devouring everything inside.

Most of the outer wall of that room collapsed, and the window glass and debris flew out from the bright fire like the embers of fireworks.

Such a loud noise almost spread throughout the whole street, and Esther's heart was beating wildly. If she missed such a good opportunity to save people, she wouldn't know when the next time would be!

She glanced at the restaurant from a distance, and her vision blurred to a figure wearing a black crown and wrapped in black armor. He stood in the flickering firelight, like a king who had appeared from eternity.

Esther whistled silently and excitedly took advantage of the chaos to scamper across the garden, heading straight for the nearest open window.

No matter who this big guy is who broke through the wall first, praise him!

Because the distribution of the manor buildings has been observed from the outside, it is difficult to find a place to hold people in the building area on the ground, so Esther has several guesses about the possible entrances to the dungeon and plans to seize the time to investigate.

And her luck has always been incredibly good. When Esther touched near this passage, gunfire suddenly came from the ground, followed by a strange scream, and then a man fled outside in panic. Esther almost instinctively He spread out his right hand and made a grabbing motion, and his running posture instantly fell on her.

Esther ran towards the man and unsheathed the dagger she had already prepared on her waist. Before the man could fully recover, a cold light licked his throat.

Esther's mask suddenly lit up, and invisible forces pulled each other. Several dancing filaments emerged from the man's body, and quickly merged into the many light spots on Esther's mask, and were absorbed.

Wiping the blood from a dagger on the man's clothes, Esther ran towards the confirmed entrance to the dungeon again. She was surprised to find that the door lock had been broken.

One cell door after another underground was suddenly opening, as if an invisible hand was pulling hard on the cell door, returning freedom to the panicked and confused girls inside.

Esther's figure suddenly appeared at the door, causing the girls who originally wanted to boldly come out to stop in panic and look at the strange man wearing a light-dot mask and a green cloak in fear.

Esther tapped the mask's forehead, and several tiny spots of light popped out from it, quickly converging into a strip of light leading outside the house, illuminating the path under the feet of these girls.

She saw Penny's vigilant eyes. She was subconsciously protecting the other two younger children, and her exposed arms were covered with bruises and whip marks.

"Go and meet your freedom at the hero's choice."

Esther whispered, her voice coming out through the light dot mask with a strange buzzing sound.

She bowed to everyone and spread her palms towards the guidance channel formed by the convergence of light.

Penny's eyes suddenly widened, and she was the first to rush towards that road, not forgetting to grab the two younger girls beside her.

With the first person, the others followed. They ran out of the dungeon, which was no different from a nightmare. They followed the light belt and rushed out of the hall where the corpses were lying down, escaping from this building full of shadows and under the crimson moonlight. Burning house.

Only when they reached the street did the girls dare to look back. At the top of the house, a majestic figure covered in black armor and wearing a black crown of thorns was overlooking everything. The cloak behind him was swaying silently.

In the direction of the hall, the strip of light continued to disintegrate into firefly-like light spots. After the last girl ran down, it completely disappeared into the air.

Another figure wrapped in a green cloak flashed past in the hall.

Esther did not leave immediately, but based on the layout of the house she had seen so far, and against the increasingly hot temperature in the room, she moved toward Kapin's bedroom.

To her surprise, she successfully found several hidden compartments containing cash and emptied them all. Fortunately, her satchel was quite capable of holding cash.

Then Esther immediately left along the path behind the garden of Kaping Mansion. Her premonition was warning her that if she continued further, she would run into a high-sequence strongman head-on.

Circles of circles appeared outside Esther's mask, creating invisible ripples. The detectable connections on her body were quickly swept away, ruling out any possibility of divination or tracking, or even the possibility of someone walking behind her. The places I have passed and the traces I have touched are quietly disappearing.

Of course, it was impossible for the gold pound in her pocket to fly back.

Esther walked into another deserted alley, turned her cloak over, and endured the pain of tearing her flesh and blood as she took off the black iron mask, and all the light rushed back into her hair.

Her fingertips touched several torn bloodstains on her face, and Esther didn't know whether she should regret the "illegal gains" in her arms.

It's just a matter of exchanging face.

Because of the explosion and the group of girls running out of Caping Mansion, the nearby police officers and residents were very confused. Esther easily stole the memories of others seeing her and avoided others' sight.

In this way, she took advantage of the special ability of the "Dream Stealer", slowly and sometimes quickly, and it took her nearly an hour to walk to another subway station away from Iris Street and catch the steam train back to the hotel.

Esther covered her face with a gray-black veil, and a few exposed blood scars gave her a very reasonable explanation for the mask - disfigurement.

However, these wounds healed quickly. After Esther slowly packed a bag of baked bean sandwiches and returned to the hotel by the Tusok River, she took off her veil and looked at it again. By this time, the wounds on her face had already healed. Only scars remained, and even the blood scabs melted away.

Esther finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the bed in pain, complaining in her heart that this ability to conceal her identity must not be used a second time, otherwise it would be terrible if she could not recover.

She really wasn't willing to take this risk.

Xiao Wu was suppressed by the light spot and was still in an isolated sleeping state.

Esther scratched the edge of the scar, hoping that the marks would heal quickly. Tomorrow, she planned to take the pile of gold pounds to Klein and ask him to help her purchase extraordinary weapons.

You can't go through with these scars, it will make the fellow villagers worried.

——

The next morning, Esther checked out of the hotel room at dawn, simply found a nearby cafe and ate two slices of peanut butter bread, then squeezed the early subway to go to No. 15 Minsk Street.

Perhaps her bulging backpack was too conspicuous. After stealing the movements and memories of the third thief, Esther also kicked him hard on the calf, then squeezed out of the carriage with the crowd and changed to a public carriage. Get to your destination.

Fortunately, she came early, otherwise Klein would have gone to the East District to do "detective disguise" if it had been a little later.

When his spiritual intuition was touched, Klein was still holding a piece of white bread spread with jam in his mouth. He was holding the new newspaper delivered this morning in a daze, because the report clearly stated that someone had stolen all the contents of Kapin's safe. property and cash.

Klein felt very innocent after spending the whole night yesterday. As the "Black Emperor" himself, he clearly didn't take away any belongings!

Klein put down the remaining half piece of bread and stood up when the doorbell rang. It was hard to tell whether he was surprised when he saw Esther.

After all, when he was moving in the spirit state last night, Klein saw a man of light with a shining face and a green cloak. Judging from the familiarity that light gave him, there was no one else but Esther who sneaked into Caping Mansion.

Klein thought it was funny when he thought about it. The two of them were talking about making plans, but they ended up acting at the same time at night, and they bumped into each other inexplicably.

He also picked up the characteristics of the Extraordinary who was killed by Esther, and gained an additional Sequence Seven "Interrogator". Even before the official Beyonders arrived, Klein purposely stayed on the side opposite to the direction Esther left, leaving more time for her to leave the scene.

After bowing to several officials, Klein completed this performance with great effect, allowing the "Magician" potion to gain a lot of digestive feedback.

Thanks to the "obsessive-compulsive disorder tie" lent by Esther, Klein was able to let go more freely when fighting the opponent. The two sides "banned" each other, and the entire battle almost turned into a turn-based argument.

If it weren't for the superior character of the "Black Emperor", Klein would also find it quite difficult.

But when Esther spread a pile of gold pounds on Klein's dining table, the half piece of jam bread he put to his mouth fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Klein had quick eyes and quick hands and picked it up before it hit the ground.

He unfolded the newspaper he was reading just now and pointed to a string of words: "So... you stole all the property in the safe?"

Esther didn't have the ability to manage expressions like a "clown", and her face turned red quickly: "There is a way to steal, but I only took cash!"

My fellow man, you have double standards, but this is still stealing... Klein complained in his mind and retorted: "You might as well say that thieves don't steal."

Although this sentence was spoken in Rune language and became a strange saying, "When a thief comes, you can't leave empty-handed", both of them could understand the meaning of this statement.

With a complicated mood, Klein picked up the teapot with Xibo black tea and poured a cup for Esther: "Let me guess, you only found the cash safe?"

"Yeah, I filled my bag and ran away. Was the 'Black Emperor' really you last night?"

Klein smiled and lied a little: "It's someone I know."

"I see, then you have to thank him for me. Everyone has been rescued, and I have made a lot of money!"

How come my fellow villagers are always so lucky? I couldn't find a place to hide the cash. Klein sighed, picked up the teacup next to his hand, put it to his mouth and took a sip.

Esther looked at the dozens of gold pound cash on the table with a smile, and shook her head happily:

"Oh, what did they say in the newspaper? 'The Black Emperor' and 'The Glossy Female Thief'? Why do mine sound so ugly? What should this be called? This should be Bat and Robin in the Capital of Backlund!"

Klein took a sip of black tea and coughed violently.
