Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

There was a young girl with black hair sitting at the front desk of the "Lilac Hotel". After receiving a certain "sister and brother" staying at the hotel, the girl with black hair picked up the book behind the counter and continued reading.

Not more than ten minutes later, the black-haired girl heard the bell hanging on the front door ringing. She quickly put down her book and raised her head, and welcomed the new guests loudly as taught by the previous manager:

"Welcome to the Lilac Hotel! Do you want to check in?"

But because she was a little nervous, the brunette's questioning tone sounded too serious, and instead seemed to threaten the person who walked in.

The person who entered the door was a young man, wearing a well-cut black short formal suit. Under a silk top hat, his smooth golden brown hair was only slightly higher than his shoulders, leaving two longest strands of sideburns hanging on both sides of his face, with a little curl at the end. .

Even behind the round glasses, his pair of lake-green eyes left a deep impression on the black-haired girl. This gentleman looked gentle and gentle, making it easy for people to feel close to him.

And when he spoke, he was gentle and polite, but with a faint smile: "Hello, I would like to ask which guest room the lady and the boy just lived in?"

"Sorry, we can't-"

The young man raised his right hand to adjust his glasses, and the black-haired girl's eyes went blank.

Room 10 on the third floor.

Then she came back to her senses and noticed that she had left the guest alone. She was suddenly distracted. The receptionist's face immediately turned red with shame: "Sorry! Are you checking in alone?"

The young man nodded with a smile and took out his identity certificate and a five-pound pound from his arms: "Yes, can you help me go through the formalities? Just go through tonight's first."

"Okay! I'll help you register right now." The black-haired girl immediately took these things and got busy behind the counter.

When she opened the drawer to get the key, she heard the young man's voice: "Can you help me find a duplex suite on the third floor? I don't like taking stairs. The height of the third floor is just right for me. The view is Not bad.”

There were quite a few vacancies, so the brunette was certainly willing to accommodate this guest's small request: "Of course!"

Her finger fell on the key to room six on the third floor, and after registering the room number, she handed it to the young man across the counter.

"Thank you, then I won't disturb you."

After getting the key, before the black-haired girl introduced the direction of the stairs and the restaurant on the second floor, the young man had already walked around the front desk, as if he had already known it, and walked quickly to the corner on the right side of the corridor. The young man heard from the other two men who were whispering to each other. Passed by and stepped onto the stairs.

The black-haired girl stared blankly at his back until she could no longer see the young man, then she withdrew her gaze.

Strange, has this gentleman been here before? He looked very familiar with this place, and he didn't even bring any luggage. Maybe I just came here to do business, so I stayed for one night temporarily, right? But he chose the suite specifically to receive someone?

Because the configuration of "Lilac Hotel" is quite good, guests often meet in the living room of the suite to communicate with acquaintances, reminisce or discuss business.

The black-haired girl put aside her doubts and continued to pick up the book and read. She took advantage of the time when there were no guests to secretly read the novel she bought.

Ms. Forse Wall's new work "Coral Reef" is different in style from "Storm House". It is actually a story of sea adventure, but it is very interesting to read. She is trying different themes...

——

Benjamin Jacob walked up to the third floor, glanced across the diagonal room No. 10, and the smile on his lips deepened.

He opened the door of No. 6, locked the door, and put the key into his pocket.

Benjamin pulled his tie, sat on the couch, folded the cushions behind him, and leaned on it with enjoyment: "Obviously anyone can come, but I have to come. I still have such an important task on my shoulders." 'Woolen cloth."

However, in fact, even other Amon do not know who "Ben" is. This is something that the main body deliberately conceals from other clones. The other clones only know that there is a clone whose code name is "Ben" and has been living in a low-key house. Pulitzer Harbour.

"Didn't I just say 'very interesting'? That annoying postman must confront me every time he makes a suggestion..." Benjamin grabbed the top hat on his head and sighed softly, "Sure enough, The soft pointed hat is more comfortable to the touch, the silk top hat is very hard.”

He flicked it casually, and the top hat hung firmly on the coat rack by the door, rotating twice due to inertia.

Benjamin fiddled with the glasses on the bridge of his nose again and took them off - mainly taking out his handkerchief and carefully wiping the lens on the right side.

In order to hide myself and better integrate into the character of Benjamin Jacob, I can't even wear a monocle. It's really sad every day.

If those guys from the "Hermits of Destiny" knew that the "descendants of the Jacob family" who had been trying their best to maintain the gathering were all disguised as Amon's clones, I wonder how they would react?

It was a pity that even though we could catch them all in one fell swoop for so many years, we spared them one life without being able to eat them while they were unaware.

Thinking of this, Benjamin couldn't help but smile.

But those people really didn't live up to expectations. After so many years, fewer and fewer new "thieves" have been trained, and no talents have emerged. The boy Zoya is carrying seems to be a thief too. Does she want to develop a "thief" that she can control?

Then why not just use light to make a clone? The teacher-student relationship is not as easy to control as the clone, which is really strange.

Suddenly, Benjamin's eyes blinked twice, and a flash of black flashed across his lake-blue eyes.

Benjamin smiled and shook his head: "Should I call it good luck or bad luck? There is a kind of person who has a chaotic physique that attracts 'accidents'..."

If I had known earlier I wouldn't have checked in, but this might be an opportunity.

The young man put his round glasses back on his face and did not get up from the sofa. Even if he noticed an abnormality caused by an extraordinary person in the hotel, it had nothing to do with him - Benjamin Jacob was just an ordinary tourist who came to Tingen to relax. .

The next moment, a horrified scream penetrated the "Lilac Hotel".

——

After Esther brought Rabbit into the house, she let him choose his room.

After hearing "This room belongs to you these days", Rabbit looked through every part of the room, as if he wanted to put the entire room into a package and hold it in his arms.

Esther watched the rabbit rolling back and forth on the bed happily, acting quite childishly, and leaned against the door with a helpless smile.

It didn't take long for Rabbit to stuff himself under the quilt. Even in Pulitzer Harbor, the hotel where the two stayed was only ordinary. It was not as luxurious as this one. Except for the mahogany furniture with a unified style, the living room and rooms were all Covered with cashmere carpets, every step is soft.

In Rabbit's opinion, "It's okay to sleep on the floor."

The rabbit's head hit the pillow. At first he just wanted to "feel it", but after a while, his upper and lower eyelids began to fight.

Because of the fatigue accumulated today and the warm feeling of fullness, the rabbit quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Esther turned off the gas light and closed the door for Rabbit. She had no intention of sleeping. At this time, Rabbit finally fell asleep, so she sat in the living room and flipped through the magazines provided by the hotel.

In fact, most of Esther's attention was not on the fashion outfits or stories in the magazine, she was sorting through the clues in her mind.

The experience mentioned by Rabbit, combined with the two very subtle conversations before, made Esther increasingly suspicious of the actions of the "Night Goddess".

Esther was a little worried that she had been disturbed by some malicious interference because of Amon's words, but aside from Amon's previous inducement, Esther realized that the "Goddess of the Night" itself had a very subtle attitude towards her.

It is impossible to tell whether the goddess's tendency is "Zoya" or "Esther". She has always been vague about her attitude towards the two.

Esther's head was thrown back, staring blankly at the floral wallpaper on the ceiling.

Suddenly, her premonition was triggered.

Esther suddenly jumped up from the sofa and rushed to Rabbit's room. Even without turning on the light, she could use the light coming from the living room to see clearly the scene in the house - Rabbit was nestled quietly under the quilt, breathing up and down. Very smooth.

The moonlight outside the house was too bright. Esther turned to the window and saw that the moon tonight suddenly turned into a blood moon.

Wasn't Rabbit and I being targeted? I thought it was the "thief" with the appearance of a middle-aged man, but what the hell...

Then Esther heard the scream too.

After the first scream, there was a faint cry of fear. Not long after, the second scream sounded again, more harsh than the first. The voice felt very familiar to Esther, and it seemed to be the very energetic one at the front desk. brunette lady, a new receptionist.

This time, even Rabbit was awakened. He looked towards the door in a daze, staring sleepily at Esther's figure blocking the light in the living room.

The boy rubbed his eyes hard twice, got up from the bed, hooked his shoes on the ground with his feet, and put his clothes on in confusion: "What's wrong? I seem to hear something..."

A succession of footsteps and screams sounded together, gathering above them in the corridor on the fourth floor. Some people were shouting "He's dead", and some were screaming and urging "go call the police."

"It seems that we are destined to not have a good rest tonight." Esther stretched out her hand and helped the rabbit who almost tripped over the door frame.

Rabbit yawned again: "I'm so sleepy. What happened outside?"

Esther shook her head: "Let's go and take a look first. It would be weird if we don't go."

When the two of them walked out of the door, they happened to see a young man wearing round glasses leaning out of the room diagonally opposite the door. He was half-squeezed in the crack of the door, as if he was hesitating whether to go upstairs to take a look.

When Esther and the young man met their eyes, the other man nodded nervously at her, as if he had just made up his mind and hurried towards the corridor.

"Shall we go and have a look too?" Rabbit asked.

Esther carried the satchel on the inside of the door, and she never took off the waist bag that held the red cloak.

She lowered her voice: "If you encounter any changes, hold on to me and we will go directly."

Rabbit recalled the strange incident of Esther leading him to the top floor when they met, and nodded vigorously.
