Esther murmured in her heart and began to think about the strangeness of the incident. What puzzled her the most was "her own reaction". Normal people would panic when they see blood, even if they don't faint from blood.

You should also feel scared when you see that kind of scene.

Esther recalled that moment her heartbeat accelerated, more because of the loud noise when the knife was thrown out, rather than because the man's hand was cut off. Her mood was too calm when facing that scene, as if she was there

Before the words were spoken, she saw this incident and watched it happen indifferently. This was indeed not like a normal person.

Okay, maybe I'm a little abnormal, but that's all.

Then Esther put the matter behind her.

But just because she doesn't want to get involved doesn't mean things won't come to her.

Esther was carrying a bag of snake fruits and oranges, which she bought with her own money from the familiar fruit stall owner. Perhaps because it was the first food she tasted, Esther fell in love with snakes.

The fruity taste, oranges were the ingredients she considered using to research new baked goods. Since she was embarrassed to ask Wendy to pay for them, Esther bought some on her own.

She was blocked in the alley by several people. Esther chose this path because it was a shortcut. Now it seemed that she was not the only one who preferred this path.

The leading man had an unshaven beard and a short knife on his right wrist, which matched his fierce aura quite well.

"We meet again." The man smiled ferociously, as if he had already planned how to treat Esther.

Esther's eyes passed over these people one by one, pausing briefly on the handsome round-faced man in the last row, and finally returned to the man in the lead: "You will die of an unexpected betrayal."

The man's expression suddenly became ugly. He obviously remembered the strange thing about his broken hand last time, and he immediately wanted to call for people to swarm him, hoping to kidnap this stupid bitch away and torture her to death.

Esther did not ignore the instructions of the little bug this time. Esther knew that this was not a situation that she could solve alone, so she decided to follow the instructions and raised her hand while spreading her fingers towards the person opposite and behind her.

.

Snake fruits and oranges rolled to the ground.

But she once again changed the words the little bug told her: "You are going to steal their lives."

"I want to steal the fate that you and I share."

This sentence was not spoken in Loen language. Esther didn't know what language it was. She just followed her intuition and spoke it out. Her instinct gave feedback ahead of her thinking.

Then Esther folded her hands.

At this moment, Esther's hair faded to silver, and tiny star-like light spots rose from her head, bursting out haloes that blurred people's vision. Esther's black pupils spread outward,

Until her pale gray eyes were filled, a chaotic and twisted light lit up, and a violent light burst out from her body, filling the alley.

Esther ran out of the alley in a panic. All those people stood frozen on the spot, with a strange blankness gradually disappearing in their eyes. The round-faced man in the back row was the first to come to his senses. He looked around and bent down.

Picking up a snake fruit on the ground, he felt that he seemed to have forgotten something, but could not remember it. This made him full of vigilance, wondering whether a higher-order Beyonder had just passed by.

The leader, the man with a broken arm, kicked an orange away hard, and the orange fell onto the dirty brick wall, with juice dripping all over the floor.

"**, why do you feel so annoyed... let's go find a place to drink!"

They left dejectedly, and everyone was not in good spirits. However, the round-faced man glanced at the alley again before leaving. He felt a subtle sense of uneasiness, but it did not evoke any memories.

Esther's heart was beating very fast, and her head almost exploded. She could only run forward based on instinct, and she didn't even notice when she bumped into someone.

The pain formed a hole along with the collapse of her memory, constantly absorbing any thoughts that Esther had, and almost draining her of all her emotions and thoughts. Esther could not hear any of the instructions of the little insect, and only the little bug was left.

The ringing in the ears that was getting louder and louder, and the constant chaotic pain, made Esther feel that her body was getting more and more out of control. The pain was cheering in every cell. She wanted to scream, and she wanted to let out the light in her body.

Tear them all out and throw them all out——

[Esther.]

Someone was calling her name, but the language was not in Rune language.

Seems to be……

Esther's eyes were suddenly able to focus, and she fell down beside several crates, trying to breathe. The cold air could alleviate the burning pain in her chest.

"How are you?"

A soft voice sounded, and Esther looked up and found that the speaker was a beautiful woman with a young appearance but old-fashioned make-up. Her blue eyeshadow and blush were quite strange, and her black hair was tied into an equally old-fashioned bun.

, the black robe on her body is well-tailored but looks a bit sinister.

The woman was stretching out a hand towards Esther, and Esther used her strength to stand up. Only then did she realize that in panic, she ran back to the door of the bar where she woke up, the "Vulture Bar"

The door number is still hanging halfway up, but a cordon has been put up at the entrance of the bar, and nearby residents are not allowed to enter.

But this woman seems to have just come out of it?

"Thank you, maybe... I'll be fine if I take it easy." Esther moved her palms, not daring to recall the power she had elicited before, and the voice that suddenly appeared in her mind was also very strange.

The woman noticed the way Esther looked at the bar: "Do you have any special impressions of this place?"

This is where I woke up - of course Esther didn't dare to say that. She still didn't know the identity of this woman, especially her strange dress, which made Esther afraid to put down her guard for a while: "It seems like here

It’s been abandoned for a while.”

"Yes, but I heard that there was a strange light appearing here, probably just over half a month ago."

Esther's heartbeat skipped a beat, which was the approximate time she came into this world.

Light? Of course Esther thought of her outrageous behavior in the alley just now. Was it the power of that little insect? No, no... Esther couldn't tell, and her thoughts began to become confused, until she realized that she was still being controlled by

People stare.

The woman kept looking at Esther thoughtfully and did not speak to disturb the girl whose face was full of complicated emotions.

"I'm sorry...I don't know." Esther's words were so dry that she didn't even believe it.

Incredibly, the woman just smiled and patted the head of Esther, who was obviously shorter than her. Her actions gave Esther a strange sense of comfort, and her chilly body quickly recovered.

Perhaps Esther's expression looked too dazed at this time, and the woman was not very reassured about her: "You look frightened, little one. It's really not safe for you to walk around alone at this point. You need my help."

Are you going home?"

"Thank you, no need. I know the way to Slim Bakery from here, so it should be fine."

"That's good, be careful."

Esther nodded repeatedly, looked at the woman again, and then turned and left.

Daly Simone frowned and looked at the sign of "Vulture Bar". The etheric body on the girl's body showed that her mood was fluctuating violently, but it quickly improved after coming into contact with herself. The strangest thing was that when the girl approached

At that moment, all the spirits nearby quickly dissipated. The spirit that Dai Li was trying to communicate with seemed to have been greatly frightened, and instantly left her sensing range and ran to nowhere.

A month ago, the owner of the "Vulture Bar" suddenly disappeared. Originally, this was a disappearance case that could be easily solved by the local police. As for the removed wine or furniture, no one would bother to check it, but after someone

I witnessed that one night when the former bartender returned to the bar, the clocks of several houses on this street exploded, and the time stayed at three seventeen in the morning.

It was obvious that there were traces of extraordinary power involved. Old Neil's divination had no results, so Dai Li once brought Luo Yao to the area to inquire about natural spirits who could communicate. Unfortunately, there were no traces when they traced the intersection. Even if they changed

Others came to the scene to check and noticed nothing unusual.

Because there was no subsequent change in the matter, the night watchman's energy could not be placed here for a long time, so in the end the captain had no choice but to shelve the incident. Today, Dai Li also had a whim before going to the cemetery to dig a grave, so she walked here twice, but unexpectedly

I met such a strange girl.

Dai Li still turned on her spiritual vision when she met the girl, and noticed that something was very wrong with the girl. Her surface etheric body was a little too bright, so that people couldn't see clearly her inner astral body, which was only vaguely visible.

Among them, the rainbow-like intersecting color blocks are difficult to distinguish.

Could it be that that girl is a hidden wild Beyonder?

Dai Li made a note of the Slim Bakery shop. As long as she goes there to have a look later, she will know whether there is something wrong with the girl. If the girl does not leave, she can take the opportunity to contact her and observe more. If she leaves, Dai Li can

Her appearance prompted the police station to help investigate her origins and clues, and even directly issued a wanted warrant.

In particular, Dai Li's spiritual intuition told her that the girl must be related to the strange things in the "Vulture Bar".

After Esther returned to Slim Bakery, she didn't mention anything about what happened tonight to Wendy and Fiona. She just lied and said that she went out to relax, but she was almost bitten by an unknown wild dog and ran away all the way.

Went around a long way and now we're back.

Wendy comforted Esther for a few words and asked her to go to rest early.

Esther didn't have the time to research any new bread or pastries. After doing some simple cleaning, she returned to her exclusive little attic.

Beside the narrow window sill, there was a bunch of handkerchiefs folded, with the middle being dented, forming a very simple nest. Esther took the little bug out of her pocket, put it in the nest, and used

Staring at it with complicated eyes.

"What exactly is that power?"

"I don't need to guess, I don't need to guess. The power of stealing comes from you, but that kind of light comes from myself, I can be sure of this."

"This is not ridiculous self-confidence. There are huge secrets hidden in the superpowers of this world. I mean extraordinary power. It cannot appear out of thin air. I have this knowledge."

"What you said makes sense. I can't prove whether these perceptions are my imagination. I should find someone with powers similar to mine."

"...I feel like you're playing with me. Why are you saying something sarcastic again now? Isn't that what I just meant!"

"What do you call this? Thief? It doesn't sound like a good person. Is this what you call your extraordinary power?"

Esther felt the contempt coming from the little insect and couldn't help but sigh: "I really don't like this ability. People who steal everything will one day find that nothing belongs to them."

So her insect mentor lost his temper, huddled up in a ball, pretended to go into hibernation, and refused to talk to Esther anymore, ending this extremely rare conversation between the two.
