Extra: Is that the day of the Nova Era?
"Amani? You actually have the heart to let God come down to the vessel. ”
Crane's ethereal body passed through a long line of soft light, and a little gray mist spread out around his body, isolating Crane himself from this space where his fate was constantly deconstructed and digitized.
If you want to describe it, it is like a large web that is constantly woven and broken, and the surface of the net shows the appearance of a wide round wheel, but the hands on the wheel are quite willful, never moving in the normal order, and each time it falls in an unpredictable and random direction.
The goddess of the night who was called by Crane was still dressed in a long gothic dress, and even though she changed the vessel of the gods, her appearance remained the same as that of the other gods.
There was also a layer of darkness around her, lest she be swept up by the light that flew wildly.
"She angrily locked Amon in the Garden of Eden in Dariberg yesterday, and has not been out since returning to the 'Wheel of Fortune'."
Klein pressed the half-height silk top hat in distress: "I heard Bernadette's complaint, she said that Lao Huang ran here a few days ago for some reason, and never answered the prayer calling him back to handle official business. ”
"Russell is there too? It was Darzyberg who asked me to call Esther, and he wanted me to know about the situation here. Although I don't know what she and Amon are arguing about again...... It's really none of my business, it's just that she's a little afraid of me. ”
Adam was in charge of his brother...... Child. ”
But it's better for the two to stay together. Klein and Amanisis thought so at the same time in their hearts.
Crane couldn't help but glance at the pointer jumping wildly underneath.
This is also a good thing that Amon did, originally just a wheel of fate that rotated in order of possibilities, but it completely turned into a chaotic farce under Amon's handwriting.
The god of mischief who weaves an endless fate is even more of a headache. But Esther and Lao Huang get together? That's a rare thing.
The reason why Amanisis has to wait for Crane is also because Fort Source has housed "Zoya" for a long time, and Crane has a stronger ability to capture the "Destiny Ball".
Esther's clumsiness in naming can be seen here.
Darriberg helped her open up a new pseudo-kingdom in the astral realm, clinging to the moon closest to the earth, but Esther directly used the name of her new card in the Tarot Society, "Wheel of Fortune", there was no way, the "Lover" card was deceived by someone and never returned to her.
As for the private space in the kingdom of God, Esther decided the name directly according to the spherical shape of the appearance, completely abandoning the use of any brain cells to think about it more.
At this time, the circular ball of light that had been independently opened up was constantly rolling in different directions on the chaotic turn of fate with the random beating of the hands below, as if it was a bet that was constantly turning.
Crane snapped his fingers, and the hands full of evil taste were instantly locked in place, and the gray mist around him surged outward, extending several huge black tentacles, enveloping the ball of light and pulling it above the wheel.
After breaking away from the random wheel of fate, the ball of light stopped tumbling and floated quietly between the many thin lines that were constantly fluttering in turmoil, and Crane confirmed that it was in a stable state before retracting its tentacles and flying with Amanisis.
When the two of them were a few meters away from the ball of light, a simple and smooth wooden door naturally appeared on it, and Crane raised his hand and knocked on it, but there was no movement in the door.
Klein and Amanisis looked at each other, "Did Adam say anything when he asked you to come over?" ”
"He told me to be a little harsh on Esther, because of Amun's connections, he rarely lectured to Esther." Amanis's voice was also a little dazed.
The question in Klein's eyes became thicker and thicker: "A little harsh? Well, we all know that Adam wasn't very good at handling Amon's relationship with Esther...... But why preach to Esther? ”
Amanisis shook his head, and Crane didn't bother about that anymore, and since the people in the room refused to answer the door, he turned the round doorknob and pushed the door inward.
A strange buzzing sound sounded, and a Möbius ring instantly appeared on the wooden door, and Klein and Amanis, who were caught off guard, were stunned, and the next moment the figures of the two appeared at a distance, just where the two were when Klein fished out the ball.
"She doesn't seem to be just there to defend Amon." The corners of Amanis's mouth curled up under the black veil, "It seems that even us are included." ”
Klein tightened the black gloves on his hands: "She's set up to enter the loop close to the front of the 'Destiny Ball' no matter who pushes the door, it's really a wayward usage......"
Approaching the ball of light again, Crane's left hand was on the doorknob, and this time he activated his abilities the moment he opened the door.
"Fool"!
Skip the time when Yourself and Amanisis were trapped into the "Reboot", this time the two gods stepped into the ball of light at the same time.
Just as Klein activated his ability, a black shadow instantly flew up from the shadows around the pointer below, chasing after the two of them and slamming into the door of the ball of light.
Although there was still a hazy soft light in front of me when I crossed the threshold, the moment I entered, the surroundings became dark.
Amanisis raised her hands, a faint shadowless shadow rose from her, and the hidden power also shrouded the surrounding area, not causing the space to move. Klein also snapped his fingers silently, and a gray mist arced and disappeared around the two, double insurance, ensuring that it would not be discovered in advance by the two in the depths of the house.
Klein looked around, "Why is it so dark here?" ”
"Zoya and Gustav were watching 'TV,' at least that's what she explained to me." A smiling male voice sounded behind the two.
The corners of Klein's eyes twitched, "When did you come in?" ”
The darkness around him suddenly subsided, and the figures following behind Crane and Amanisis suddenly became clear, Amon was still wearing the black classical robes, smiling kindly and cheerfully.
Obviously, He was the one who stole a little bit of darkness.
His eye socket was a monocle polished with crystal, which was more of a habitual ornament, and the uniqueness had long belonged to Klein. But Amun wore something completely different from his usual image on the top of his head, a question mark headband with a spring-loaded base, which swayed back and forth as He followed the two of them.
No one asked him where the thing came from, it was clearly from Esther, anyway.
Amon beckoned to the two old gods in a friendly way, revealing a smile that made Crane subconsciously clench his fists.
Klein really wanted to open a crack in the spirit world and cooperate with "fooling" to throw Amon out directly.
Amanisis ignored the sudden appearance of the Divine Son, and instead walked down the cream-colored soft carpet under his feet to the deepest part of the space, where there was a faint sound, intense music and gentle girlish voices, in a language she was somewhat familiar with but did not recognize.
Klein sighed, "I seem to know what they're doing." ”
"You know that?" Amon clearly didn't believe this, he hadn't believed a word of Klein since the birth of the "Lord of Mysteries", and all his knee-jerk reactions were alert to "fooling", almost carving doubt into instinct.
Crane's voice lowered, and it was obvious that he was speechless about the truth: "This is the night of the Dead House......"
What's more, these two people didn't call him?
Amon silently read this sentence twice, whether he understood it or not, but Esther seemed to have said something similar, and he should have known that he should have caught a few more remnants of the old days in the curly-haired baboon workshop, and scavenged more memories that did not belong to this era, so as not to feel like an outsider every time.
Well, it's not too late to do it.
In the years when the end was near, Amon did not have such idleness, but now he has.
Amanisis suddenly reached out to cover his mouth, so that his strange smile was not so obvious: "I really didn't know that 'Li Xing' had such a character, and even Esther had a preference for this. ”
Klein cleared his throat: "Well, maybe it was Lao Huang who brought her badly!" ”
"No, it was brought up by Esther herself, and my doppelganger overheard it very clearly." Amon interjected behind the two.
"Amani, can't you help keep the Angel of Time completely hidden?" Klein didn't even lower his voice, and that's what he said to the one in the back.
Amanisis didn't do anything: "I don't like it when his father comes to me again, his 'all-knowing, all-powerful' father is still quite annoying. ”
The passage stretched to the end, where there was a large screen, two upholstered sofas, and a low coffee table piled high on top of many snacks, many of which Klein was familiar with—the same historical projections he had agreed to help out for Estra.
So she used it to prepare for the night!?
The brightly colored images on the screen happen to play a life-and-death struggle, but the atmosphere between Esther and Russell seems to be more intense than the emotions of the characters in the anime.
"Red and blue have been out of CP since ancient times, what else is there to say besides true love? No. 1 in the world! ”
"Do you know who the protagonist of this episode is?,Of course it's black and pink! Something out of taste! ”
"It had to be pink and black! Do you understand the power of redemption and redemption!? ”
A chocolate ball draws a parabola from mid-air, but just as it is about to fall, it encounters a twisting force and is thrown back in reverse.
"Damn! How do you cheat! Say you don't want to use extraordinary power! In a hurry, Esther jumped directly to the ground from the original lying position, grabbed the bag of honey butter potato chips on the table with her backhand, and wanted to throw it on Russell's head.
But when she saw the three people behind the sofa, Esther froze in place for a moment, without any follow-up.
As her spirit was violently turbulent, the picture on the TV suddenly erupted into a snowflake and then completely turned into darkness amid the humming.
Russell also sat up dissatisfied, and could see that he was still holding a handheld game console in his hand: "Hey, hey! Why do you want to throw it away!? Isn't it time yet? We can still ......."
He saw the three people behind the couch.
Amanisis only concealed the connection between a few people when they stepped into this space, and Crane fooled the underlying rules of the place to warn outsiders, but neither of them deliberately concealed their presence, so Esther and Russell turned around and saw them clearly.
"Hi~" Amon smiled and waved his hand at the two with dull faces, and stood honestly behind Klein and Amanis, completely unmoved.
It was obvious that he was worried that as soon as he stepped out of the secret range, he would be thrown out of the house by Esther's backhand, and it would be a pity that he would miss the current show.
Esther laughed dryly, and subconsciously looked sideways at her "comrades-in-arms" on the same front, only to find that Russell's figure had become distorted and illusory - he ran away! Without saying a word, he ran away decisively!
The Black Emperor used the power of a stand-in one moment, and the next moment he twisted himself to the outside of the "Destiny Ball", and went directly back to his own kingdom through the public back door that Esther had left for all visitors.
Russell's gradually distorted and dissipating stand-in also left a sentence in Chinese: [Dead Daoist friends do not die poor Dao, go first and wish you good luck!] ]
Esther felt like her teeth were about to crush, and Klein's blaming and laughing eyes looked at her, she really couldn't stand it!
Diverting the war is another way to get out of the embarrassing situation, so Esther decisively pointed to Amon: "Why are you here!?" ”
"I came in with your Lord." Amon whistled when he said this, and the whistle was immediately cut off when Crane looked back with a blank face.
Klein looked at Esther again, smiling and grimacing, "So you guys don't even get out of the door, that's what you're doing?" ”
"This—this is," Esther's hand subconsciously gestured in the air, "isn't this an early annual leave......
"But you're not a wage labourer, and the gods don't have annual leave." Amon interjected with a grin.
This time it was Amanisis who glared at him: "If I'm not mistaken, you're the one who really holds the authority of the 'Weaver of Destiny', right?" ”
"Sharing, strictly speaking, sharing. She has the backing of the 'Master of Mystery' behind her, what can I do? Amon muttered dissatisfied.
"I'll tell you the truth about your attitude."
"Tsk."
Klein sighed silently in his heart, it was hard to say whether it was for the naïve "God of Cause and Effect" in front of him, or for the equally naïve "Goddess of Fate" - whose god would pull other gods to spend the "Night of the Dead House"!
On the contrary, because the end has passed, she is even more indulgent...... Hehe, Lao Huang thought he could escape like this? Bernadette had been waiting for him for a long time.
Crane pushed up the edge of his silk top hat, "Let's go, don't lose too much time." During the New Year, more people will pray to you. ”
“…… is waiting for you. A smile appeared under Amanis's veil, and Esther saw her lips move slightly, but she didn't hear the first word.
Esther honestly followed behind the two and subconsciously asked, "What?" ”
"A lot of people are waiting for you." Amon tilted his head and replied first.
But Esther always felt that Amaniss had said a name, and she was a little at a loss, could she still miss a name with her hearing?
But the men had already reached the door, and before Esther could ask, Crane snapped his fingers and grafted the concept of "getting out of this door" with leaving the "wheel of fortune".
He and the goddess of the night stepped out first.
Just as Esther tried to follow, Amon suddenly grabbed her wrist.
"What's wrong?"
Amon didn't speak, and Esther looked back to find that in Amon's other hand, he was holding the ridiculous question mark headdress.
"If you don't like it, throw it here, and you don't have to carry it all the time."
"yes, I don't like it......," Amon smiled casually, "like I don't like your overly casual style, and your always overly emotional." ”
Esther chuckled, but instead took Amun's hand and wanted to pull him out: "That's a pity, I won't change, I'm very happy with my current self." ”
But she failed to pull Amon.
"I'm not satisfied." Amon said.
Esther glanced at him amusedly: "Although you are angry, but you are so honest today, are you being 'fooled'?" ”
"What if I'm dying?" Amon smiled briskly, "Then of course I'll take this opportunity to say something more that I haven't had time to tell you." ”
Asther looked at him in amazement, but while Amon waited for her to tease or question, she simply reached out and stood on tiptoe to give him a hard hug—a very humane gesture of reassurance.
Amon didn't even remember the last time he was embraced by someone else, maybe the Third Age, but he was used to not remembering it anymore.
"Do you know what the name 'Esther' means?"
"I don't know."
Falsehood.
"Then I'll tell you, it's the 'Star of Hope'."
Her soft voice rang in her ears.
The sound of two heartbeats suddenly overlapped into one—or, from the beginning, there was only one heart, twitching as it mimicked the gesture of a creature pumping blood.
Esther took half a step back, holding Amon in a trance: "We're really going to be late." I can start by wishing you a Happy New Year, though. ”
Amun's other hand tightened the question mark tiara tighter and tighter, and for a moment, he was truly shaken by what was in front of him.
Looking at the other pair of pale eyes in front of him, Amon could see the reflection of his stunned expression in them, and he actually saw a little vulnerability, which did not belong to Esther, but belonged to him.
Amon's expression became more and more indifferent: "Such a blessing ......"
Pointless.
"So, don't give up hope," she smiled brightly, "I'm still there for you." ”
Esther took Amun's hand and led him into the open door, outside which was a deep darkness.
——
From the deep and empty darkness, there was a faint glimmer of light, and then it was protected in the palm of its hand, and its closed fingers tightly covered the light, but it could not stop its tendency to become stronger.
Not even light can escape a black hole.
But one point is transformed into a possible impossibility, a moth that eats time and fate, maybe it will be exchanged for one, a miracle.
The shadow follows the tangent of the black hole's edge, crashes into the cloud of gas that is constantly being convoluted, and rolls into the distance along the gushing stream of electrons.
The Dead Worm of Time continued to detach from his body, the decorative monocle had long since shattered, cutting his right eye, and the wriggling girdle maggots continued to peel off from his body, and then were reclaimed by Amun's continuous theft.
He clutched the light in his hand, and in the center of it was a round stud earring with a few stars.
The previous dream seemed to continue in real-world perception, and the victim who fled in confusion seemed to hear another heartbeat, overlapping with his fist tightly pressed against his heart.
Amon's tense expression suddenly relaxed, and the wanton smile returned to its original position.
Ha, Happy New Year......
Yes, after reading it, it happens to be a happy new year.
Thank you all, it's a pleasure to meet you all in 2023, and I can't thank you enough.
After the operation, I had a little physical strength to cheat the corpse, and I finally finished writing this chapter for free, and I promised it, and I did it......

May in the new year, everyone has loved people and things, and they can also get the return of this love, seize that hope on their own path, and not get lost in the cloudy days.
May there be a hope that can also shine in your life.
