Lord of Mysteries: Taiyi

The sky here has no moon, no sun, no stars, only boundless darkness and lightning that tears everything apart.

In the silhouettes illuminated by lightning on the endless wasteland, a short figure in a red robe suddenly appeared in the brief light.

"What the hell is this place?! Why did Dad dump me here? All I did was be a little naughty sometimes..."

A clear, slightly mocking female voice came from the shadows beneath the red hood. She spoke in evolved Chinese as she walked step by step across the wasteland.

The lightning subsided, and darkness once again enveloped the earth. An indescribable monster lunged at the girl, but before she could even lift her eyelids, the monster vanished, utterly vanished…

"These bugs are so annoying. I caught one and tried to teach it to talk, but it didn't work after a month. It's stupid and ugly." The girl in the red robe muttered to herself, trying to keep herself from getting too bored.

She needed to find a place with people quickly to replenish her humanity... As she was pondering this, she suddenly saw a figure appear not far ahead, thanks to the new flash of lightning.

The figure wore a long, black trench coat, paired with black trousers and black leather shoes. He had a broad forehead, a thin face, and wore a tall top hat and distinctive monocle glasses, giving him an extremely refined appearance.

"A living person!" The girl in the red robe quickly walked over to the man dressed like a crow and asked directly, "Little crow! What's your name?"

Amon looked at the strange woman in front of him and found that he could not see through her fate, or rather, her fate was too chaotic and seemed to contain all possibilities... She was also speaking an unfamiliar language.

He didn't speak, but stroked his chin. Then the girl in the red robe obediently took off her hood and put on a monocle.

The girl had short black hair tied in two small braids. Her pure black eyes held a hint of playfulness, and her slightly round face was adorned with delicate features. A faint smile played on her lips.

Amon adjusted his monocle and discovered that the body opposite him was just an empty shell, containing no information he wanted, except for one piece of information:

"The little crow is so naughty."

Feeling his new "fate," Amon smiled and said:

"interesting."

Alice, who had given herself a name that fit the social norms using the new language of "captured," looked at the body in front of her that was exactly the same as her own, and with a slight raise of her hand, the body disappeared.

Only one Time Worm fell, and Alice caught it with a flick of her wrist.

Now, she had transformed into Amon's appearance, and spoke to herself in Amon's voice:

"This little crow's memories are so messy and fragmented, and this is just one of its clones."

"Silver City... uh, thieves? What wicked fellows!"

Alice, who was halfway through analyzing "Amon's" memories, suddenly reverted to her original form because Amon appeared in front of her.

"Little raven, why are you out so soon! I haven't had enough fun yet..." Alice said in Giant's tongue, pretending to be surprised as she put her two little hands in front of her mouth.

Having stolen the thoughts of the person before him, Amon obtained a bunch of blank yet talking "thoughts"! Those thoughts "came to life" in Amon's mind and began to output to him:

"How did you manage to steal me away? You even tried to parasitize me! Parasitize, right? Do you have feelings for me?"

"You, just like me, are wandering alone in this godforsaken place. I just wanted to say hello..."

"Little crow, stinky crow, gloomy bespectacled man..."

Amon had never seen such an ability in all his years of life. He tried to parasitize these thoughts and actually succeeded. Although he stopped their harassment, he still ended up with some blank spaces.

Then He finally smiled and asked:

"Who are you? Where do you come from? Where are you going?"

Alice slowly circled around Amon, scrutinizing him as she smiled and said:

"Alice, I don't know where she comes from, but she wants to leave this awful place."

Amon was not annoyed by Alice's actions; instead, he smiled and said:

"I know how to get out, but..."

He sensed a change in fate and ceased speaking.

Alice frowned her pretty brows, looked at Him with a puzzled expression, and asked unhappily:

"What's wrong? Tell me quickly, I'm so bored here, I want to go out and play!"

Upon returning to his original world, Amon discovered that he had been held up for a minute and had failed to send the "message" he had originally intended to send to his main body.

He looked at the deserted wasteland, a slight smile playing on his lips, and reported the situation to his true form. As the lightning subsided, he vanished from the spot.

……

Alice, having found refuge in a timeline untouched by Amon's, strolled leisurely across the wasteland. Any monsters that approached her were "exiled" to other timelines.

"Once His true form arrives, I won't be able to escape anymore. It's terrifying that He can detect timeline changes so easily. It's a pity that Dad is only in this timeline and will have to come out later; he can't keep hiding forever."

"But I still have to thank this little crow for letting me know that this is the Forsaken Land, and that there are people in Silver City, right...?"

Alice found this place in the fragmented memories of "Amon" that she had obtained, and then, with a thought, she appeared directly next to Silver City.

Illuminated by the lightning, the citizens of the Silver City moved about on the dimly lit roads.

Alice concealed her presence and quietly returned to the main timeline, entering Silver City right under the nose of the First Lord...

Walking down the street, watching the people struggling to survive in the darkness, Alice sighed silently. Humanity is often richer in places like this…

"This world is terrible; there are still people living like this. I have to help them, but... before that, I need to have some fun~"

Alice, her worries turning to joy, began searching for her target on the street. Suddenly, she saw a tall boy illuminated by the lightning.

He was tall with a rather youthful face splattered with blood, and had brownish-yellow hair. His eyes were fixed straight ahead, as if he had lost his soul.

"You're a kid with a story to tell, you're the one!"

Alice's dark eyes lit up, and she immediately examined the memories of this ordinary person.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a pitiful child, what a pitiful place. Derrick, is it? Let me bring you some love and affection!"

As soon as Alice finished speaking these words to herself, she transformed into a ragged little girl.

Before Derrick could react, she was about to fall down in front of him.

Derrick reacted quickly, catching the blonde girl in front of him and asking with concern:

"Are you alright, child?"

Alice blinked her big eyes and said, looking aggrieved:

"I have no home anymore..."

Alice created an identity for herself and anchored it in the recent history of Silver City.

After listening to Alice's explanation, Derrick touched her head and said somewhat numbly:

"Oh, it's Alice from East Street. I just lost my parents too..."

After a long pause, Derrick continued his sleepwalking rambling:

"We were eating black sesame together just last week... Alice, I'll..."

Alice used the "experience" she had just received from Amon to steal Derrick's idea of ​​sending her to the law enforcement team.

After a series of final maneuvers, Derrick unwittingly ended up with a "sister"...

P.S.: I'll update first and then revise. Going to sleep now.
