Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 199 A Beam of Light
Lewis smiled calmly. Now, he had two choices before him.

The first one is to decisively reject the lady's invitation, which is equivalent to slapping the face of the Sauron family, and he will definitely be hated.

The second option is to dance, which is equivalent to showing goodwill to the Sauron family, and then the Sauron family is likely to propose a marriage.

No matter which choice he makes, he will encounter great troubles and may even be caught up in the vortex of political struggle.

In front of these big families that have existed for thousands of years, an ordinary businessman is so helpless, especially after he has become useful.

Suddenly, Lewis thought of a third option. He stretched out his right hand and bent down, “It’s my honor, beautiful lady.”

The lady placed her hand on Lewis's palm, and after Lewis expressed his friendliness, they went to the dance floor below together.

As if it was tailor-made for Lewis, the music on the dance floor stopped abruptly, and with Lewis' arrival, the music started again.

Lewis sighed deeply and complained in a voice that only two people could hear clearly: “I wish you were a man. I’m not interested in women.”

The lady's face suddenly changed and even her dance steps became disordered.

When the dance ended, he did not receive any further invitation from the Sauron family. After all, if the Sauron family really proposed a male marriage, it would be a loss of face.

For these large families with a long history, the most important thing is face, and for this, they can even give up some interests appropriately.

It was already past midnight when the dance ended. Lewis stayed in Soren's room temporarily, feeling uneasy.

His inspiration was triggered by something and he could sense that there was danger hidden here.

“It shouldn’t be directed at me, but why do I feel familiar with the source of danger?
Is it because I have seen it before, or have had indirect contact with it? "

After a sleepless night, Lewis left here early the next morning and returned to Slont Manor.

The sense of danger made him unable to sleep peacefully, and he could only wait until the next morning.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Strong seemed to be in a good mood and was always smiling.

"Mr. Lewis, is your power station completed?" asked Mrs. Strong.

"It will be completed soon. In a few days, the streets of the King's District will be brighter than ever before, and the night economy will also develop." Lewis wiped the food residue from the corner of his mouth and said, "Please let me go back and rest first. Promoting AC electricity is really tiring."

Lewis got up and went back to his room. After not sleeping all night, he fell asleep on the velvet bed, feeling somewhat satisfied.

The morning sun shone into the room through the dark curtains, and Lewis frowned in his sleep.

He dreamed again of darkness, with Miss Windsor praying in the only light.

This time, Lewis's vision expanded, and a vine stretched towards him from the darkness, with a flower bud on the vine.

The flower bud blossomed right in front of him, revealing its reproductive-like interior.

Faced with this strange scene, Lewis not only did not want to escape, but instead had a strange liking for the vine.

Subconsciously, he slowly walked towards the light where Miss Windsor was, as if that was the sanctuary he had always been pursuing.

Suddenly, a ray of light shone on Lewis, which made Lewis' mind clear instantly.

He quickly closed his eyes and stopped looking at what was in front of him. The mental pain woke him up from his sleep.

“Ha…” Lewis gasped heavily, and a ray of sunlight was shining on him, as if symbolizing something.

“The erosion of the dream has intensified. This time, I actually saw a part of the Mother Tree of Desire.

I have a feeling that when one day I am able to glimpse the entire external appearance of the Mother Tree of Desire, I will become Her true believer.

No, maybe not a believer, but a part of Him, I will lose my original personality.

However, when I was about to come into contact with the Mother Tree of Desire, a beam of light fell down, allowing me to maintain my self.

Perhaps, the beam of light shining on Miss Windsor represents a seal. It is because of the existence of the light that the Mother Tree of Desire cannot find me."

Lewis tried to interpret the information given by the dream, but there were too few prerequisites and the information he could guess was very limited.

However, he did think of the old angel in Leonard. When he first arrived in Backlund, the old angel mentioned that there was something wrong with him.

Perhaps the old angel Pales knew something.

Suspecting that he had been infected by some power, he went above the gray fog to undergo a comprehensive "disinfection" before returning to continue sleeping.

This time, he had a good dream and slept until it was almost dark and the sun appeared on the horizon.

After waking up, Lewis immediately wrote a letter to Leonard, with a strand of his hair attached.

"I hope I can get the information I want. However, Pales didn't dare to say it the first time, and he may not dare to say it now."

About half an hour after the letter was sent, Lewis felt sleepy, which was a prompt from the spirit.

He slumped over the desk and fell asleep.

Through the pure white in front of him, a city with tall buildings appeared before his eyes. In front of him was a bell tower, and in the distance he could see a corner of St. Samuel's Cathedral.

The figure of the old angel Pales gradually appeared in front of Lewis, with a solemn expression.

Lewis bowed and said in a mellow voice:
"Mr. Pales, first of all, I have some unfortunate news to tell you. I met Amon's clone again... in a manor in Intis."

Pales's expression became even uglier, and he warned:
"Don't play such a bad joke on an old man, or I'll teach you a lesson."

I was just trying to liven up the atmosphere, I didn't expect you to be so cowardly...

Lewis spread his hands and quickly started talking about the business:
“Mr. Pales, Amon said that I cannot be parasitized because I am heavily contaminated.

In fact, I also found that I was contaminated by the Mother Tree of Desire. Recently, this contamination has gradually begun to erode my spirit and even wants to deprive me of my consciousness. "

Lewis recounted his experiences and doubts in detail. It seemed that all the contamination started from the first time he met Miss Windsor.

But he believed that the pollution had long been deeply rooted in his mind and body, and it was only after he met Miss Windsor that the pollution began to awaken.

That's right, if pollution is regarded as a living thing, after he met Miss Windsor, this pollution seemed to be activated.

"You mean, you have been contaminated by the Outer God, the top Outer God who surpasses the True God?" Pales' expression gradually changed from impatience at the beginning to surprise.

"Yes, if I don't find a way to deal with this pollution, the next time you see me, you might see the Mother Tree of Desire." Lewis nodded in agreement.
