Mystery: The Stars Returner

Backlund.

Hastur finally asked someone to find out the current situation of Sheriff Reed and his family.

After the incident that day, there was a big explosion in their home. The baby died tragically on the spot, but Sheriff Reed and his lover were lucky to be alive.

His lover became mentally ill and became dementia because he could not bear the death of his child. He is now admitted to an orphanage.

Chief Reed also resigned from his position as police chief and is now arranged to accompany his lover in an orphanage.

Considering Chief Reed's outstanding contributions to the police department, the police department gave him a generous sum of money so that Chief Reed and his wife could stay in the welfare home for their retirement.

This is official news, and Hastur doesn’t know the exact truth.

But what is certain is that Sheriff Reed and his lover are still alive.

The so-called "staying in a welfare home for old age" makes people think. It is probably that they are imprisoned and live a free life on the surface, but in fact they are restricted everywhere.

This is a very normal and reasonable arrangement.

"How come Chief Reed and his lover are still alive?"

Hasta murmured, feeling that something was wrong here.

This was not because he hoped that Chief Reed and his family would die, but based on what happened at that time, Chief Reed and his wife had no reason to survive.

The baby parasitized by the High Dimensional Overlooker, many punishers of the Church of Storms died that day, and hundreds of nearby residents were killed and injured in the big explosion, and this was even after evacuating in advance.

Not counting the number of deaths caused by unexplained lightning strikes, fires and other accidents.

Where Sheriff Reed and his lover were, there was absolutely no reason to survive, unless the High Dimensional Overlooker deliberately kept them alive.

Hastur couldn't believe that the high-dimensional overlookers had such a thing as family bonds. He would rather believe that the high-dimensional overlookers had left some back-up on them.

This should also be the thinking of the higher-ups of the Church of Storms, which is why they imprisoned Chief Reed and his wife in an orphanage and supervised them.

"Oh, I hope there won't be any more trouble."

Hastur calmed down and took a carriage to the newly built factory.

During this period of time, he had not paid much attention to the factory because of the high-dimensional overlooker's matter. Now he had time to take a look at it.

Accompanied by Harley's manager, Hasta walked around the factory and learned that the sales of mosquito repellent powder were pretty good during this period.

Among them, the best-selling one is the most expensive one.

After all, nobles lack nothing, but they are afraid of losing face, so comparison is inevitable.

If he wasn't afraid that Klein would discover that he might be a time traveler in the future, he would also plan to engage in some activities, such as getting a batch of special deluxe editions and holding a lottery to earn krypton gold.

Just buy an ordinary product and you will get a chance to win a lottery.

If you are dealing with working-class people who don't have very rich wallets, use naked gold pounds as raffle prizes.

You can also learn the bargaining model of a certain Dudola person, and I believe you will soon capture a large market share.

But Hastur just thought about it and did not take action.

He is special enough in his own right, so he might as well do less attention-grabbing things.

In the afternoon, Hasta went to visit the law firm. Professor Foulun arranged everything and the place was running smoothly. Professor Foulun also planned to recruit a few more lawyers to help next month and expand his business.

Regarding these matters, Hasta is very relieved to leave it to the decision of Lecturer Foulun alone, as long as he can earn lovely gold pounds.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Hastur came to the Brave Bar.

He was already considered a regular customer here, and Kaspars came over.

Hastur held the wine glass and said with a smile: "Mr. Caspars, I'm glad to see you here again."

"It's truly a blessing."

Kaspars picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Hastur, with a look of joy on his face after the disaster.

Lightning was everywhere that day, but his house was fine. The house next door was directly shattered by lightning, and the owner's two five-year-old children died on the spot.

Very poor.

Life is also worthless.

Hastur chatted with Kaspars for a while, then came to the billiard room to wait for Maric.

In about ten minutes, Maric led his zombie team to arrive.

His face looked very unkind, as if he wanted to do something.

Hastur preceded him and said, "This glass of wine congratulates us on being alive."

With one sentence, Maric, who was originally looking for a little trouble, stopped and said with emotion: "It's really something to be thankful for that you're still alive."

"Miss Sharon, why didn't I come with you?"

"She has some things to deal with and may not come tonight."

Maric pulled up the seat and sat opposite Hastur. The living corpse next to him helped him pass a glass of wine.

"Tell me about what you have experienced during this period, and it will also open my eyes."

“It’s not an eye-opener, but some interesting things did happen.”

Maric completely gave up the idea of ​​settling a score with Hasta and began to introduce their journey.

This time, the Rose School sent people to Backlund, which really made them worried, but the Rose School ended up in a worse situation than they did.

They were jointly targeted by the three major churches, the Church of the Night Goddess, the Church of Steam and Machinery, and the Church of Storms, and lost many Beyonders in Backlund.

Sharon and others went out this time, on the one hand, they wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge, and on the other hand, they wanted to save the surviving Temperance members.

This all went very smoothly, especially in the last few days. I heard that the Eternal Sun Church directly sent several archbishops to the southern continent to join forces with the Church of Storms, the Church of God of War, the Church of the Mother Goddess of the Earth, and the local government forces to join forces. Launched a crackdown on the Rose School.

The scale of this purge was far greater than any previous one. The Rose School's indulgence could be said to have caused heavy losses.

If it weren't for the fact that her sequence was too low, Sharon would have taken this opportunity to return to the Southern Continent.

After hearing this, Hastur asked curiously: "Is there anything different about the Rose School today?"

"They are better at hiding than before. If they hadn't escaped too quickly, they would have been baptized by the scorching sun and storm."

When talking about this topic, Maric seemed very excited and told Hastur about the dramatic changes in the southern continent.

Hastur just listened with a smile on his face, thinking of the cooperation between the Super Star Master and the Desire Mother Tree.

Now, after such a clean-up, the surviving Extraordinaries of the Rose School must be hiding very deep, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to find the little tail of the Superstar Master.

It's really worrying to not find out what's going on with the Superstar Master.

I don’t know when Bernadette will be promoted to Level 2. Otherwise, Bernadette can go to the Southern Continent to explore the road and find out the plans of the Super Star Master and the Mother Tree of Desire.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Hasta ended his chat with Maric and returned home in a carriage.

As soon as he walked up to the second floor, he vaguely felt a familiar smell in the study.

Maybe Sharon is here, it seems she still likes to stay in the mirror.

Hastur walked into the study, closed the door, and sat on the sofa opposite the mirror.

After sitting quietly for a few minutes, Sharon's shadow appeared in the mirror. This time she did not disappear again, but looked at Hastur curiously.

"The aura on your body seems to have changed?"

"A lot of things happened during this period. I had some adventures and learned to hide my aura."

Sharon did not delve into this issue, but said: "Tell me about what happened in Backlund during this period."

In the mirror, Sharon was also sitting on the sofa, facing Hastur across the mirror.

Hastur has the illusion that the space he is in is the world in the mirror.

He suppressed this strange feeling and thought about starting from that night when the super star shone in the night sky.

Sharon's occult knowledge was obviously several levels higher than Maric's. Through Hastur's slightly processed description, she vaguely guessed something, but she didn't dare to think deeply about it.

The more she listened to Hastur's description, the more strange she felt. She had looked up at the stars that night, but she didn't have the immersive feeling that Hastur had.

Especially the night that was revealed through Hastur's narration seemed a little different, as if the fog had been lifted and something more essential was seen.

When Hastur finished speaking, Sharon looked at him deeply and said, "Your eyes seem to be able to see a more magical world."

"Maybe I'm better at making associations."

"Your description is wonderful."

"That's because I added a lot of fictional elements to ordinary days, which makes the story of Backlund even more magical and interesting."

Sharon thought for a moment and said, "Then you should become a writer."

"It's a pity that I have become a lawyer, otherwise I really want to depict a different world through writing."

“You can write a little short story story.”

Sharon tried her best to mention this matter in a calm tone, and Hasta was keenly aware that Sharon's tone was a little different.

Sharon seems to be looking forward to writing her own short story?

Does she like to listen to stories?

Hastur thought for a while and said tentatively: "I have indeed conceived many interesting and fantasy stories in my mind."

"Then you should write these stories and don't waste your imagination. This is a rare gift."

"But I'm a bit lazy. It's extremely painful for me to stay at my desk and write every day."

"If you have time, you can write more."

"If I had to constrain myself, I might not be able to write a story within a month."

Sharon was silent for a while and said calmly: "If you have time, I can supervise your writing."

Hearing this, Hastur understood.

Miss Sharon, you like to listen to stories.

This little hobby is a bit like a child's liking to listen to fairy tales.
