Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang.

As time passed, the lights on the opposite side of the street outside the window gradually went out, leaving only the gas lamps on the street emitting light, facing the crimson moon in the sky separated by clouds.

As the night deepened, Esther drew the curtains tightly, and even turned off the gas lamp in the room, allowing the darkness to quietly stick to her eyelashes.Only the smokeless charcoal that she asked the proprietress to add newly gave off a little light and shade after burning red.

At midnight, skinless muscle fibers emerged from the mural above the bed, covering the tranquil scenery behind.Those bloodshot protruding eyes kept turning back and forth under the pull of muscles, and finally stared at Esther fearfully and anxiously.

Esther moved her fingers habitually, threw the pillow to the side and sat on the head of the bed by herself. She opened the cover to reveal the smooth inside, but now it can only reflect the round mirror of the dark room.

"Let's talk about it first, I don't know what will happen," Esther took a deep breath, "The worst result is that this picture frame will be destroyed, and you will disappear directly."

The human face didn't respond, didn't even make a sound, just stared longingly at the flip mirror in Esther's hand, and the blood and tears flowing became more and more dense.

Xiao Qi flew to the end of the bed, tilted her head and waited for Esther's next move.

Light fireflies spread from the top of Esther's head, and the dark room suddenly had a light source. Interlaced light spots scattered into the ceiling and floor of this room, and more light spots slowly circled around Esther, as if devout pilgrims.

As Esther stretched her hand towards the picture frame, those light spots also stuck to her palm docilely. They did not outline any symbols or shapes, and only kept a simple tremor, as if for Esther's right hand. Covered with a layer of glowing gloves full of phantoms.

The eyes on the glass gradually stopped weeping, watching the soft light getting closer and closer until the palm shrouded in dim light was pressed against its forehead, and the protruding cross-eyed eyes looked extremely funny.

The cracks did not emerge from the glass, but appeared in the air, like an eggshell that had been forcibly smashed into pieces. The force of twisting squeezed a small opening, and then slowly covered the mirror surface.

In the blink of an eye, faint blood stains appeared on the surface of the glass. Esther quickly pressed the mirror in her left hand against it, and her right hand still carried those light spots, trying to communicate with the instinct of the spiritual world through the light spots, and pulled into the mirror world. Open a small mouth.

The skinless human face is collapsing inward, making it look like a leaking balloon, except for the protruding eyeballs, which are quickly twisted into layers of folds, like folded sheepskin roll.

It began to squirm its head, with dark red sticky oozing from its muscles. It aimed at the flip mirror and formed a small vortex under the flip mirror, absorbing all the colors of the skinless face. Glass is gradually becoming transparent again.

Esther's right hand soon felt a needle-like pain, and the pain was getting stronger and stronger, causing her to have slight tinnitus.

The light spot hummed and vibrated more strongly, which greatly accelerated the process of the skinless human face entering the flip mirror.

Persevere, persevere, one more thing...

The pain was eroding Esther's bones and tended to extend to her arms, as if some dark force had penetrated into her skin and nails, gnawing at every nerve ending.

She had to work hard to put all her body weight on her arms, lest she instinctively withdraw her palms due to the severe pain.

"Esther, that's enough."

Xiao Qi, who was watching by the side, could see more clearly, the light spot at the bottom of Esther's palm was gradually turning red, and a few drops of blood penetrated the uncertain light, fell down, and fainted on the bed sheet.

Is it necessary to do this step?It is clearly a stranger who has nothing to do with him, the other party is not even a human being, even as a resentful spirit, he is incomplete, and even the mind that can communicate with him no longer exists.

why?
Xiaoqi doesn't understand at all, it knows that Esther always has a lot of ideas that it can't understand, most of them are stupid and meaningless, such as now.

Why on earth is she so persistent in wanting to save such a little remnant soul?
Finally, at the moment when the glass was completely clean and transparent, the flip mirror in Esther's hand suddenly fell down uncontrollably, then closed automatically with a "snap", and rolled around on the bed.

The spot of light on Esther's right hand immediately flew away from her palm full of fear, revealing her skin covered with tiny bloodstains. There was almost no complete place on her right hand. There was no gap between the fine cracks and the bright red tattoos. The difference, densely covered the palms and backs of her hands.

As Esther's left hand grasped, those light spots fell to her right hand again, but whether they constructed a ring or a Mobius ring, they could not have any effect on the wound on her hand.After they flew up, Esther could clearly see the depths of the wound, there were gray-black filaments entangled in her blood vessels, being slowly digested by her body, and this process was quite slow.

"Hiss... this is difficult."

Esther took a breath, Xiaoqi grabbed her satchel and threw it on the bed, took out a bandage from it, and threw it impatiently to Esther's hand.

Those spots of light poured back into Esther's hair one after another. She was bandaged silently, her right hand was always trembling slightly.

There is probably no medicine that can work on such a wound. The power contained in it reminds Esther of corrosion or curse, and it may be the remnant of extraordinary power.Although it will be offset after a while, it is definitely not possible for a few hours. Esther estimates that it will take about a week for her right hand to fully heal and recover.

"Is it worth it? For the 'Stealer', the hand is the key symbol of your extraordinary ability." Xiao Qi's claws were clasped on the flip mirror, making it make a depression in the mattress.

Esther pulled out the small mirror from under its claws, and with a slight pressure, the lid carved with roses lifted up, revealing the round mirror inside.

Esther thought it was because the environment was too dark, so she got up and turned on the gas lamp, trying to see the scene on the mirror clearly.What is reflected in the mirror is only a piece of black twisted silk thread, like a crayon that a child roughly painted black on the paper. Except for the occasional glint of blood, there will be tiny blood vessel lines on the mirror surface, and nothing can be seen.

Esther reached out her hand to touch the mirror, and the black silk thread squirmed immediately, but after she moved her finger away, she immediately returned to silence, tightly blocking the scene behind.

"Is this mirror really useful? I can't see what it can do at all..." Esther tried closing and opening the lid, but nothing changed.

Even she had to concentrate quite a bit to barely sense the feedback from the mirror, which showed that the spirit contained in it was extremely fragile.

Instead, I can ask Klein to help with divination, but...

"It feels so weak that it's useless." Although Xiao Qi's evaluation was harsh, it was to the point.

"Forget it, just keep it like this, anyway, she will dissipate by itself in a few months."

If you really use its ability, it will only speed up its extinction, and it doesn't seem to be useful anyway.

As Esther said so, she casually stuffed this small mirror, which didn't take up much space, into her satchel like handling other sundries.
