Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Gathering of the Extraordinary in Queens

Anyone who can settle in Queens, even if they just use a mansion as a meeting place, must have some kind of energy behind them. Moreover, this noble gentleman does live here, and every once in a while he holds gatherings for the wild extraordinaries to trade, providing an impartial intermediary channel.

Naturally, Norn would not tell Esther the true identity of that gentleman, and even if Norn suspected that Esther was also an extraordinary person, he did not reveal anything related to this rally to her, but only walked it lightly.

Even Norn himself did not know the gentleman's real name, and even though Norn had been promoted to "listener" under his watchful eye, and had been appreciated by the gentleman, Norn would simply call him by that code name like everyone else.

"Mr. A".

On Monday night, in a mansion in Queens, Mr. A's party will go ahead as scheduled.

It wasn't until the moment he stepped out of the carriage that Norn took out the two black cloaks and the full-face mask in his suitcase and handed them to Esther.

Esther was stunned for a moment, but didn't ask much, the iron mask was outlined with silver threads, and the face was cold, covering her facial features, and only a pair of clear gray eyes were exposed. The Norn mask is outlined with gold thread, and the two men pull the hood of their cloak over their heads, a scene that makes Esther feel like she should prepare a "wand" to wear on her body.

This outfit is a bit too much like a wizard, and her name is Luna, just casually!

"You must follow me, there will be a lot of people inside."

Esther nodded, suppressing the tension in her heart, her spiritual intuition reacted, but only to perceive the existence of many extraordinary beings here, without any warning of too danger, so that Esther did not dare to completely let go of her heart.

Why does spiritual intuition still strike?

From time to time, Noun glanced back as she was ushered into the house by the waiters, and although he could hear Esther's footsteps and her slightly nervous heartbeat, Noun was still hard to reassure her, lest she would be scared away by such a meeting.

Norn led Esther to the corner, where they had to sit in the front row as there was already a figure in a hooded robe.

Esther glanced twice at the man who had blocked his face with his hood, and subconsciously thought it was a woman.

I don't know if it's because I'm a little nervous, Esther swallowed her saliva and looked up at the guests who entered, most of them did the same protection, and it was very dangerous to expose your true face on such an occasion after all. Of course, there are people who don't care, but it's impossible to confirm whether the faces they reveal belong to their true faces.

Although the most conspicuous thing in the room was the gentleman sitting in the chair, Esther subconsciously did not want to observe him, and her spiritual intuition was so restless that Esther became anxious as well.

Noun noticed that Esther kept sweeping her gaze from the center and looked away, and whispered to her, "That is the noble man I told you, and he can be called my guide." Everyone called him Mr. A. ”

What a strange name, is there still BCD? Esther thought about it, steadied herself, and finally set her eyes on the party promoter.

Mr. A's face was also hidden in the shadows under the hood, and his upper body leaned forward slightly, like a tense snake that devoured people, and his body exuded a suppressed and heavy sense of intimidation, like a volcano that could erupt violently at any time.

If Mr. A hadn't sat there since the two of them came in, Esther would have suspected that he was about to start to lose control in the next second. Even after the meeting began, the waiters began to collect the notes from the guests, but Mr. A remained in a sit-still posture.

Norn whispered to Esther about the formal process: the requester or seller would hand the note to the waiter, and the corresponding items would be listed on the blackboard, and anyone who would like to talk to them could ask for communication through the waiter, or make a deal directly through the waiter.

After a few minutes, Esther's spiritual intuition was touched again, she closed her eyes and tilted her head, and asked in a low voice, "Noun, Mr. A, is he uncomfortable?" ”

As if hearing her words, Mr. A's head suddenly lifted and turned towards this corner, his movements stiff and tense, but his face was still completely covered in shadows, making it impossible to see clearly.

Esther felt the cold hairs on the back of her neck stand on end, like she had become the frog targeted by a poisonous snake, but her spiritual instincts became motionless, making Esther even more afraid to act rashly.

Can spiritual intuition be so unreliable!?

Esther quickly constructed the corridors and entrances she had just passed through in her mind, planned an escape route, and prepared to escape after being attacked by Mr. A on the spot. She didn't even have the confidence to take Noun, since he knew Mr. A, he wouldn't die here, Esther moved her fingers, almost like she was ready to warm up for playing the piano.

However, the expected bad conflict did not come, and Mr. A's gaze under the hood gradually eased, and the dangerous aura that was on the verge of exploding on his body was recurred. Mr. A leaned back and leaned back against the soft backrest of the armchair, as if to breathe a long sigh of relief, and then he reverted to his condescending, looking around the audience.

Many people were relieved to see Mr. A return to such a haughty posture, including the lady behind Esther, who didn't know why she was even more panicked than Esther who was being targeted.

Esther wanted to look back, but fearing to frighten the nervous lady, dismissed the idea.

Maybe she's also the kind of extraordinary person who has an inspiration amplification, and she can sense that Mr. A's state is not right, so she is quite scared.

After that brief meeting of sights, Mr. A did not look back, nor did he respond to Esther's staring at him.

The lady in the back also asked the waiter to leave a note requesting the trade, and although Esther kept looking at the blackboard at the front, she had never heard of most of it.

Esther, who had never been exposed to ritual magic, did not understand the extraordinary materials circulating in the market, and the extraordinary formula had only been exposed to the "monsters" of Sequence 9. Sitting in the trading bazaar of this kind of extraordinary, she only felt that the rows of gold pounds in the back were suffocating.

The taste of poverty is heartbreaking.

After a while, a waiter brought another note for the transaction, and the lady behind him seemed not satisfied, and even left her seat after waiting for a while, and after a short time returned to her seat, as if going to the bathroom.

The lady didn't stay long, leaving early before the party was over.

——

As Furth walked out of the rally, he felt his feet still a little weak.

Although she didn't acquire the magical items in the Sun Realm that Mr. "World" needed, it was good to exchange the gold pounds for the formula of the "Master of Tricks", so she didn't have to worry about other troubles, as long as she collected the materials, she could be promoted to Sequence Eight in a short time.

Today's Mr. A feels too terrifying, and what is even more terrifying is that he turned around and looked at the corner, and at that moment Folth was almost out of his body.

I felt suffocated as a bystander, I really don't know how the person who was being targeted sat down, and from behind, the person didn't even move, so he safely endured Mr. A's gaze, is this a master's trick?

Foirth thought back to the strange feeling in that person, a little inexplicably kind, but she was not sure where she might have come into contact with the other party, so she could only continue to dissipate the tension and pressure in her heart through brain supplementation.

——

It wasn't until all the guests in the hall had left, leaving only Mr. A and his attendants that Norn led Esther to the single couch, and Mr. A gestured and all the waiters exited the room, leaving room for the three to communicate privately.

Mr. A stood up, and the kerosene lamp cast his shadow forward, which made Esther subconsciously take a half step back, avoiding the shadow in front of Mr. A.

She was glad she did, as Mr. A's shadow grew crimson, like a thin slice of flesh arching out of his shadow. But in Esther's wary eyes, the anomaly slowly subsided, and the agitated flesh rolled down the bottom of Mr. A's robe back onto his body as if nothing had happened.

The smell of blood wafting through the air made Esther confirm the real scene just now, and had a more intuitive idea of Mr. A's extreme danger.

Without confirming the other party's sequence, intelligence, and extraordinary abilities, she took two steps back again to distance herself, her hands slightly raised, ready to steal the other party's consciousness in order to gain time to escape.

"I'm not hostile, I'm sorry to disturb you," Mr. A even took two steps back, his indistinguishable neutral voice sounding a little nervous, "I'm just a little excited." It's really rare! The Lord is so eager for your news that He is willing to forgive me for my ridiculous mistakes......"

Norn's eyes under his mask were bright red from the frenzy, and gradually overlapped with the madness that Esther had glimpsed through the crack in the door of 602 that night, and he stepped aside to look respectfully at Mr. A. and then at Esther expectantly.

"Mr. A, is that? You seem to be a very powerful and extraordinary being, and I need to think about my own safety. Esther said this, and gradually retreated to the door, but Mr. A did not follow or stop her, "If you have anything, please tell me directly." ”

Mr. A raised his right hand and respectfully drew four times on his chest, outlining an inverted cross on the top, right, and left, and Norn also lowered his head at the same time, following him in this gesture.

Mr. A took off his hood and revealed his face, which had been hidden in the shadows, his face so gender-indistinct, as if it had been gathered into the most skillful sculpture under the favor of the Creator, and at the same time mixed the beauty of men and women, but when he smiled, he was full of evil: "From the time I saw you, the voice of the Lord has never been quieter and gentler than ever, it is His merciful call, and you should come with me to Him." ”

Esther's back rested against the door she and Norn had entered, and she felt for the doorknob and tentatively twisted it silently, only to find that it wasn't locked.

"The Lord is in pain and full of anger, and there is nothing we can do about it. But you can help Him, Luna! I can feel that, and I hear the Lord's response in your singing! Norn spoke, his voice trembling with excitement.

Esther was tempted to give him a kick.

She was still too gullible and blinded by the beauty on the surface, and subconsciously ignored Norn's abnormality, and ended up in this difficult situation.

Mr. A stroked his chest and saluted: "You need not be afraid, just follow me to the prayer room, and when I seek the oracle from the Lord, you only need to call on the name of my Lord." Would you like to, Zoya? ”

"Of course I know what it means to recite the true name of an evil god, and I don't want to- uh!"

Esther's head throbbed uncontrollably for a moment, causing her to bite her tongue as she spoke, and swallowed back the answer in pain.

Her spiritual instincts were buzzing.

The voice in the depths of her head almost drowned out Esther's sanity, forcing her to say the word "willing".

Fourth, I'm off work today.
