Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang.

Outside the "Brave Man's Bar", when the rental carriage passed by the door, the window slammed twice, and a figure was outlined in the carriage, condensing from illusion to reality.

Esther, who was sitting next to Klein, stared wide-eyed, subconsciously retracted her hands and feet, and instinctively moved her fingers to prepare for "stealing" to guard against this lady who appeared out of nowhere.

This pale and bloodless lady was wearing a long black court dress, her pale golden hair was tied into a retro-style bun, and a small bonnet was pressed on top of it. Such an attire made her delicate face extraordinarily elegant.

Excluding the fact that she suddenly appeared in the car, this is a classic beauty that surprised Esther.

Esther glanced at Klein's unchanged expression from the corner of her eyes, and knowing that this was the Extraordinary friend he was going to introduce, she relaxed a little and put her hands back on her knees.

The lady on the opposite side didn't show any expression, staring at Esther like a puppet without saying a word.

"Good evening, Ms. Sharon, this is my friend..." Klein hesitated a little.

Esther immediately understood his hesitation, and took the initiative to answer: "Esther, just call me Esther."

Since she is a trusted friend of "Sherlock", she doesn't care if the other party knows her "real name" that she often uses.

"Extraordinary?" The lady's voice on the opposite side was also illusory, clear and cold, as if it would disappear from the air at any time.

Esther nodded: "Sequence Five's Thief, I hope you don't mind my accompanying."

This Ms. Sharon doesn't seem to be used to Esther's overly straightforward communication. She just nodded slightly and didn't express any opinions. Esther could tell that she didn't want to talk about her own sequence.

Klein cleared his throat: "Well, I'm ready. I brought Esther here just in case."

There was no change in expression in Ms. Sharron's blue eyes: "Tonight?"

"If you have no problem, then I have no problem."

"Okay." Sharon nodded slightly, and then returned to silence. She seemed very unaccustomed to speaking.

Afterwards, Klein asked this Miss Sharron about the "mermaid" clue. This was the first time Esther saw this Miss Sharron speak a sentence with more than one word tonight.

It felt very strange, but no matter what Sharon said, her tone of voice was not emotionally ups and downs, and it was difficult for Esther to feel that she was also a human being.

The rented carriage continued on, towards Williams Street at the junction of the West End and Queens Borough.

-

On this street, there is a small church that has been abandoned for a long time. Under the echo of the midnight bell, a figure is trying to dig a tunnel. dirt.

The occasional dust that fell from among the stones could not cover his excited and ambitious eyes. When the opening was widened enough to allow him to slip in, he immediately bent down and crawled downwards. , not caring that his elbows were chafed on rough stones.

He kept digging down until his eyes were empty, and below was a dark and solemn underground palace.

The man's eyes became more and more frenzied. He grabbed a black iron coat of arms, pulled up the collar and wiped it again and again, as if he was grabbing some kind of scepter leading to honor, and almost kissed it directly.

There was indeed a hand holding a scepter on the coat of arms, and the man couldn't wait to pin it to his heart—all illusions were shattered, and he was still in the narrow passage dug out, with only dirt and stone in front of him.

There was only one person looking at him quietly, and that was a person with no facial features at all.

The man backed away crazily, not even caring about taking away his excavating props or lighting lanterns, even though his elbows were rubbed with large bloodstains, he didn't feel the slightest pain, he just wanted to get out of here as fast as possible!

But when he returned to the dark church, under the dim crimson moonlight, another shadow passed directly through the wall and walked towards the man.

-

When Klein and Miss Sharron went down to intimidate their target, Esther could only crouch outside a broken wall where she could observe the entrance of the hole, watching for anyone approaching nearby.

In the middle of the night, the probability of random people coming to such a place is much lower than money dropped from the sky.

Esther couldn't help thinking about it.

Although she really wanted to participate in Klein's plan, but she really didn't have the ability to cooperate with the script.If Esther stood up while playing with the dagger, then this would not be a horror movie, but a martial arts movie. Klein and Sharon didn't want to hurt each other's life, they just wanted to scare this person away.

But what happened next was not what they expected.

This man actually misunderstood Miss Sharron as an evil spirit in the ruins, and urgently asked them for help, and even mentioned the "Dark Emperor" and "Blood Emperor", but Esther felt that his words were too weak. There is no logic in the time, she is going crazy in a desperate situation.

After Sharon answered "I refuse" indifferently, the anxious man wanted to continue to say something to persuade her, but his eyes suddenly fell into emptiness. He suddenly took a few steps to the side and came to the place where Esther was leaning. Near the stone wall.

Esther rolled and quickly approached Klein and Sharon's position, facing this strange man head-on, and the three of them realized that his state was quite wrong.

Esther held the dagger in her right hand, and spread her left hand with five fingers ready to launch "Theft" at any time. Klein pulled out his revolver and pointed it at the man, while Miss Sharron raised her hand slightly, letting the crimson moonlight fill the room. pieces of ruins.

The man didn't even look at the three of them, he just faced the stone wall and smashed his head hard.

"Boom! Boom!"

Esther quickly grabbed and grasped with her left hand, stealing his movement, for fear that the man would commit suicide directly.

As a result, her body made a corresponding move, and suddenly hit the ground directly.Fortunately, Klein responded in a timely manner and snatched Esther's collar, preventing her from directly kissing the ground.

Although the man stood there for two seconds in a daze, blood was already flowing down his forehead, and his closed eyes suddenly opened, which were covered with blood streaks like intertwined tree roots.

The action of him wiping his forehead with his palm and licking the blood caused alarm bells to ring in Klein's heart. Sharon still had no expression on his face, but Esther felt a weak but vaguely familiar force, which was coming Occupying the digger's body.

Why is there a sense of familiarity?Esther was pretty sure she hadn't dealt with the evil spirits here, and it made her feel worse and worse.

Then, the evil spirit made it clear that Klein was a "person with a secret" and tried to provoke the tacit understanding among the three of them to deal with the enemy, but Esther knew this a long time ago, and Miss Sharron didn't respond, which made him alienate It didn't work out much.

The evil spirit immediately changed its strategy, and instead asked them to help him out of trouble, in order to help Miss Sharron be promoted as a reward, and then he showed Klein another "miraculous and precious item".

He used crimson moonlight to condense an illusory scene, presenting a tarot card depicting a male priest in a chariot and wearing a crimson robe.

Esther's pupils gradually dilated, and she had seen something similar.

It was at the Tarot meeting of the meeting before the gods.

Although Esther didn't understand what it was, and other people already knew the answer and no one mentioned it again, Esther understood that since it was something that even a god like "The Fool" valued, it must hide a great secret.

The evil spirit noticed Esther's expression, and his eyes naturally fell on Esther: "As for you, sneaky thief, it is really not easy for you to survive this sequence. What I can give you is a precious piece of advice , when you get promoted, quickly change to the adjacent path, so as not to become someone else's toy someday if you don't know why."

Since the appearance of the evil spirit, Esther communicated with him for the first time: "You mean the head of the Amon family?"

The corner of the evil spirit's mouth gradually raised: "Then you should also know that there is only 'one person' in that family."

Body and avatar.

Esther silently added what the evil spirit hadn't said.

The evil spirit turned to Sharon again, and tried to persuade her with the potion of Sequence Four of the Abyss Pathway, but Sharon turned her head to look at Klein, signaling that he should respond to him.

After thinking for a while, Klein raised his question: "Then how should you remove your seal?"

The evil spirit asked them to find the direct descendants of the Sauron, Einhorn and Medici families, take ten milliliters of blood each, mix it with holy water and sprinkle it into his room.

What makes Esther wonder is, why three families?The key to breaking the curse also comes from three people?
Klein didn't hide the doubt on his face. Esther knew that he was showing it to the other party on purpose: "I know the Sauron and Einhorn families, but I've never heard of the Medici family."

Esther said the name silently, and the sense of familiarity became stronger and stronger.

The evil spirit said contemptuously: "It's normal, they always like to hide in the shadows, they are polluted angels, they have established an extremely secretive organization. That organization is called—"

"Rose of Redemption."

Like a stone falling into water, thousands of waves were stirred up in Esther's mind, and a little bit of memory that did not belong to her emerged, but even if it was vague, it was full of power enough to drive Esther mentally crazy.

The buzzing sound was almost roaring in her head, as if a steam train had run over her soul, washing away any perception of the outside world.

The dagger slipped from her palm, and Esther pressed her temples and lowered her body a little bit. Beads of sweat quickly appeared on her forehead, and all the blood faded from her cheeks.

If Esther still raised her head and opened her eyes at this time, Klein would be able to see the black ink surging in her eyes and the flickering glimmer of light inside.

The evil spirit on the opposite side didn't seem to expect that just throwing out a name would cause such a big reaction from the young girl in the "Thief" sequence.Although she knew "Amon", she didn't look like she was being parasitized, otherwise she would have recognized him in the first place, why would she act like she was sick...

"'Red Angel,' Medici?"

This address is in the language of giants.

The bloodshot eyes in the evil spirit's eyes faded a little, and the evil aura emanating from the man's body was quickly subsiding. He moved his hands hesitantly, and confirmed the identity of the other party because the state became inexplicably stable, which made the evil spirit turn around. Instantly revealed ecstasy:
"Little sparrow!? Why are you in Backlund? Could it be that Ourorius is also there? Or did the Lord send you here?"

Sharon backed away for a short distance, and under her gaze, Klein also slowly backed away like her.

Esther's state was not right, which made Klein several times more nervous than seeing the evil spirit just now.

"I'm not, I'm not... what sparrow..."

Esther didn't even know that the giant language came out of her mouth just now, and the language she used to communicate with the other party returned to Loen language again, and she tried her best to endure the tearing pain in her mind.

A few spots of light floated and fell from Esther's hair, and she tried her best to restrain them, and her breathy voice continued intermittently: "I don't know, what you said..."

The evil spirit stared at her with a complex expression, the joy on his face gradually returned to indifference, and he showed a smile full of sarcasm and contempt: "That's right, seeing that you are a 'thief' now, presumably those brothers also tried their best to kill you." into their camp."

The buzzing in Esther's mind quickly subsided, like a snail retracted into its shell after being touched, and gave Esther herself the room for reason and thinking: "I'm not what you know, that'him' , I... I don't know what you're talking about."

The evil spirit scratched his face with his hands, and scraped out two clean places where the blood on his forehead was stained. He used quite a lot of force, leaving a grin-like blood mark on both sides of his cheeks:
"Look at me, Zoya, look at my fate! This is the plan of those two brothers! How good do you think you can be!?"

Esther felt anger rising from the bottom of her heart, and immediately yelled back: "I told you I'm not 'Zoya'! I don't know who you're talking about!"

The evil spirit glanced back and forth across her face, and then looked at Klein again as if nothing had happened, but his tone was much colder than before: "As long as you track down the organization that believes in the 'True Creator', you can always Get in touch with the 'Rose of Redemption' and find the person you should be looking for. If you don't have a clue, go to Binxi Town."

Klein asked where that place was, but the evil spirit didn't answer him.

Klein glanced at Esther whose complexion was gradually returning to normal, and asked about another matter related to the Four Emperors War, and learned that the crazy "Blood Emperor" was Arista Tudor.

The evil spirit seemed unwilling to communicate more, and only said that after the seal was lifted, he could still tell Klein more history.

He took one last look at Esther who had picked up the dagger again and held it tightly in her hand.

The evil spirit stared at the vivid anger and fighting spirit in Esther's eyes, and after a few seconds of silence, he suddenly let out a chuckle.

Then his body limply fell backwards, like a puppet with broken strings. After losing the stringer, he collapsed on the ground scatteredly. The evil spirit broke away from the body of the descendant of the Tudor family.

Esther's hands were still trembling slightly, she hadn't recovered from the too weird accident before, she clenched her fist hard and then loosened it, trying to relax her tight nerves.

She should know who "Medic" is, at least the one in her mind knows him.

But what Esther couldn't figure out was the meaning of the evil spirit's last laugh.

His laughter was full of sarcasm, but Esther could hear a trace of pity.
