Mystery: The Stars Returner
Chapter 140 Dancing in Chaos
The flickering candles, the light and darkness are constantly changing, some people are screaming, some people are hiding everywhere, and the originally harmonious dance party begins to be chaotic and noisy.
Faced with this slightly chaotic situation, Hastur was calm and looked down at Audrey tonight.
The beige elegant long dress has a fluffy hem that sways gently. The jewelry on her delicate white neck and earlobes is mainly made of emeralds. Her blond hair is braided like flowers, hanging from her ears and draped over her shoulders.
Her figure is very slender, and her smooth forehead can touch her chin. Overall, she looks like a symbol of elegance and nobility.
This change of light and dark light adds a mysterious veil to her beauty.
There was no panic on her face at this moment, and her eyes showed curiosity.
For her, what happened tonight was also a rare experience.
Hearing Audrey's question, Hastur retracted his gaze, looked at the source of the wind blade, and said calmly: "Well, Qilingos took action, but it failed. Duke Negan was already on guard. They are all powerful Beyonders, so he should want to escape."
Audrey also looked over there, but she couldn't see the extraordinary battle there. She could only see the chaotic crowd running in all directions. She stared at it for a while and asked curiously, "What sequence is he an Extraordinary?"
"It should be a Sequence 6 Beyonder, the Wind Blessed."
"Oh, then how dare he come to assassinate Duke Negan?"
"The glove on his hand should be a powerful extraordinary item."
Audrey's eyes flashed with shock. She had already learned this information from Mr. Hanged Man.
But what about Mr. Hastur?
He could roughly guess Qilingos' strength based on his own analysis alone.
If someone hadn't told him in advance, Mr. Hastur's occult knowledge would have been really terrifying.
Audrey thought for a moment and smiled: "Is this considered my first cooperation with Mr. Hastur?"
"Of course, Miss Audrey is the real focus of tonight's dance."
"What about Mr. Hastur?"
"I prefer to stand at a distance, not in the spotlight."
"why?"
"Because I am not as flawless as Miss Audrey. Once I stand in the spotlight, I will easily show my shyness and have my shortcomings pointed out."
Audrey narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "Mr. Hastur just said that he is not good at praising others."
"Because these words of praise are not against my heart."
If these words were said by other nobles, Audrey would feel very polite and hypocritical, but when said by Mr. Hastur, she felt very useful.
After all, it is easier for people to feel happy when a compliment comes from someone who is better than themselves.
"Unfortunately, tonight is still a bit of a fly in the ointment."
Hasta sighed slightly, causing Audrey to ask curiously: "Is there anything that's not perfect enough?"
"Tonight is the first dance I invited Miss Audrey to dance, but it was ruined by Qilingos before the dance was finished."
Audrey looked around, then looked at her hands that were still on Hasta's palms and shoulders, and chuckled: "Now, you can still dance."
Dancing in the dark chaos is an interesting experiment.
Hasta thought about where he stopped just now, and Audrey had already guided him on how to dance next.
In terms of dancing, Hasta is a little better than the average person, and Audrey is much better than him.
On the other side, Qilingos looked at the extraordinary people gathering around him with a horrified face.
He had just started, and an ambush had been set up against him.
Obviously, his assassination has already been exposed in advance!
He really couldn't imagine how he was discovered, but now, it was too late for him to think deeply.
Escape, escape from here, is what he should consider most at the moment.
The glove on his left hand squirmed slightly and was covered with a layer of dark golden fine scales, which stood up as his pupils became lighter.
An invisible ripple spread out in all directions with him as the center. Wherever it passed, a huge fear suddenly surged in the hearts of the gentlemen and ladies who could barely calm down.
They could no longer maintain their sanity and began to flee in all directions, screaming and yelling.
Many of them stumbled towards the encirclement where Qilingos was.
The Beyonders who besieged Qilingos were worried about hurting these nobles, so they became hesitant to take action.
Taking advantage of this gap, Qilinges no longer hesitated. With hurricanes swirling around him, he ran towards the window, crashing through the bay window. With the help of the wind, he actually glided a long distance. Take this to leave the confines of Duke Negan's mansion.
As soon as his feet landed, Qilinges ran towards the woods not far away. As long as he entered the woods and blocked the pursuers a little, he could put some distance away.
Then you only need to change your appearance and blend into the crowd, and you can completely escape the pursuit!
After all, there are more than five million people living in Backlund. With the help of his crawling hunger, he is like a drop of water flowing into the sea, and it will never be found again.
This is also his biggest reliance to challenge this task!
After a while, a breeze blew through Duke Negan's mansion, and Ace Snake, the Archbishop of Backlund Diocese of the Church of Storms, led several members of the Punishers to arrive.
Alger was also one of them, and he was in a very bad mood at the moment. It could be seen from the broken window that Qilingos, who had failed in the assassination, had escaped!
"If it's not...a waste of time."
Alger glanced at the singer of God from the corner of his eye, clenched his fists slightly.
Obviously, as soon as he received the news about Miss Justice from Mr. Fool, he immediately told his boss.
However, the efficiency of this work was too low. It was not until extraordinary fluctuations occurred in Duke Negan's mansion that the singer of God was willing to believe his intelligence and set off to come here.
But after this delay, Qilingos had successfully escaped from here.
With Qilingos's character, he would probably guess that he was the one who told the secret, and the situation would be difficult to deal with by then.
Qilinges must die in Backlund!
I don’t know if Mr. Fool’s followers will help.
Not far away, Hastur and Audrey also came to the area from the edge.
The furious Duke Negan, the embarrassing-looking Singer of God, and the uncertain-looking Alger...
Hastur looked at the expressions of these people one by one, and then focused his eyes on Alger.
This Mr. Hanged Man has dark blue disheveled hair, deep and rough facial features, and a bronze complexion. You can tell at a glance that he is a man who has lived in the sea all year round.
But the look on his face now suggests that he was probably upset because Qilingos had escaped.
Hastur watched for a while, then looked at the famous Pigeon of God.
He is indeed a very qualified Storm believer. After all, that being is also nicknamed the Old Storm Pigeon.
He was obviously an extraordinary person in charge of the storm, but he was always a bit slow in doing things... In the end, he was transferred out of Backlund Parish because of this. It was like an old pigeon became a master.
Audrey came to Count Hall's side and felt a little proud as she listened to Duke Negan's angry accusations.
He had only become an Beyonder for less than two months, and he was already able to influence the life and death of a Duke in the Kingdom of Loen. Such progress was truly astonishing.
I wonder if Mr. Hanged Man is satisfied with his ability to do things.
He should still be on the sea now, right?
Audrey searched around and finally landed on Alger.
After looking carefully for a while, his pupils dilated slightly, and then he deliberately stepped back to avoid being discovered by Alger, even though the distance was a bit far.
Then he continued to look at him with his peripheral vision, while constantly comparing the image of the man opposite him with the image of Mr. Hanged Man in the tarot meeting.
The more I looked at him, the more I realized that that man looked a lot like Mr. Hanged Man!
He is also a believer in storms, he has lived on the sea for the same long time, and he is also involved in the Qilingos matter!
"Is it really Mr. Hanged Man?"
Audrey became more and more suspicious, but she didn't dare to confirm it rashly.
Before she could observe for too long, the storm follower left with the others, presumably to hunt down Qilingus.
Audrey did not stay here for long. She glanced at Hasta, who was already standing far away, and thought to herself: "Mr. Hasta really doesn't like standing in the spotlight."
She went up to the second floor and came to the room where her mother and other noble ladies were.
"My Audrey, where have you been just now? In such a chaotic situation, are you not injured? Come on, come here and let me take a look."
"I'm fine and not affected by the chaos."
After some greetings, Audrey reassured her mother.
Originally, she planned to come here to accompany her mother after revealing Qilingos' true identity, but she met Mr. Hastur and agreed to his invitation to dance.
So much so that my mother was worried. Now that I think about it carefully, my cheeks feel a little hot.
After a while, Earl Hall appeared at the door. Audrey found an excuse to walk out and went to the nearby balcony with Earl Hall.
"Dad, what's the matter?" Audrey's green eyes revealed the innocence of a girl.
Earl Hall smiled and said: "The matter has been solved, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore."
"Hmm...have you told others that Baron Gramir is pretending?"
"Yes, besides me, the only person who knows about this matter is Baron Hastur Campbell." Audrey's eyes were bright, and what she said was indeed true, and there was no lie at all.
