Mystery: The Stars Returner

It's around 8pm, Williams Street, West End.

The crimson moon's light shone in wisps, and the originally lively streets now looked particularly different due to the arrival of a group of people.

"Just because you want to arrest me? You are underestimating the protection of the stars!"

A figure in black robes stood in the middle of the street, surrounded by a circle of members of the Nighthawks team. On the outside, there were police officers who set up a cordon to prevent other people from breaking in.

"You are indeed a believer in the stars!"

"Backlund has been causing a lot of trouble recently because of you Star Believers. Now, I finally have a chance to catch you guys who are hiding in the dark!"

"I heard that someone is offering a large reward for you. I didn't expect that as a believer of the stars, you would dare to show up openly!"

The scene that was supposed to be a bloody fight was a little weird at the moment.

The Nighthawks team had clearly surrounded the other party, but they did not immediately take action against the figure. Instead, they talked loudly, for fear that others would not know that they had surrounded a disciple of the stars tonight.

"Hehe, just because you want to arrest me?"

"Lack of reverence for the stars will be the reason for your failure tonight."

"I'm standing right here, and I can leave at any time, no matter how many of you there are."

"Because the stars will always protect me!"

The surrounded figure did not panic, but was full of confidence, as if the Nighthawks team present were just a bunch of trash in his eyes.

The Nighthawks team continued to taunt, and the figure still responded confidently and proudly.

Klein, who was also a member of the Nighthawks team tonight, really wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide.

This is so embarrassing.

Whether it's Leonard's slightly exaggerated acting skills and tone, or the stiff cooperation of the Nighthawks team.

Everything is wrong.

This is like the show-off and slap-in-the-face scenes in some novels. Even though things can be solved directly, the two sides have to keep talking to each other.

Except it's embarrassing.

Klein is really glad that the person who needs to perform on stage tonight is not him, otherwise he would not be able to perform smoothly.

Leonard is still amazing. The more he talks, the more energetic he becomes. He talks about the stars and has completely entered the role of the believer of the stars.

After the two sides exchanged words for more than ten minutes, many extraordinary people appeared from nearby darkness, broke into the outer police blockade, and arrived at the inner circle of Williams Street.

They basically all disguised themselves, some wore masks, some wore black robes, and some simply put some messy makeup on their faces.

They were not in awe of the Nighthawks team, and all stared at the surrounded Leonard.

Whether it was a large reward issued by Mr. A or an additional reward later, it was worth the risk for them.

As long as the Nighthawks team snatches this believer of the stars, even if it is just a corpse, it can be exchanged for a large sum of wealth!

It can be used to advance to a higher extraordinary sequence, or it can be used to become a rich man for life.

"The Nighthawks team is on business, anyone who has nothing to do with it should leave quickly!"

Kurt Dill, the captain of the West District Nighthawks Team, stood up and glanced at the new and strange Beyonders who appeared around him.

"Believers of the Stars, we have been looking for you for so long, how could we leave just because of your words?"

"So what about the Nighthawks squad? The believers of the night are just disgusting."

"Don't talk so much, just grab people. Whoever grabs the head will be considered as completing the reward."

Soon, a scuffle broke out.

Leonard, who was specifically targeted, didn't panic at all when he heard that those extraordinary people wanted his head.

Since he came to act as a bait and perform a dangerous mission, the church would naturally give him something to save his life.

"The stars twinkle!"

He deliberately shouted in the direction where there were many people, and then the stars shone brightly around him, and the whole person disappeared from everyone's sight.

Some Beyonders who were still hiding in the dark observed this scene and finally believed that the people who appeared tonight were the believers of the stars!

They could no longer suppress the greed in their hearts and took action one after another.

Edge of Queens location, Silveras Plaza.

Leonard, who was far away from the encirclement by the twinkling stars, appeared here out of thin air.

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and laughed loudly: "It's too beautiful for you to want to capture the believers protected by the stars."

"I am a believer in the stars. At night, the stars will give me invincible power!"

"You are only worthy of watching my retreating figure from afar!"

After taunting him for a while, he strode towards the deserted area.

After a while, seven or eight strange figures appeared around.

They seemed to have a tacit understanding and spontaneously formed a circle, surrounding Leonard in the middle.

"Why, you want to catch me too?"

Leonard glanced at them with disdain. Not only did he not panic at the dangerous situation of being surrounded again, but he breathed a sigh of relief.

This situation has long been part of their plan.

The first time he appeared, even if he could attract some of the Beyonders lurking in the dark, they would probably only be small fish and shrimps.

After all, when the situation is not yet clear, not many people will actually take action. Instead, they will choose to wait and see, waiting for the critical moment before taking action.

So in order to draw out these real disasters, they decided to lure the snake out of its hole again.

Here tonight is the real encirclement!

Leonard originally wanted to continue to taunt him, but suddenly he felt that a powerful extraordinary person was coming through the spiritual world.

A big fish has been hooked tonight!

And there’s more than one!

He couldn't be sure if there was a Sequence 4 demigod, but there must be a Sequence 5 powerhouse!

"I won't play with you anymore."

Leonard lowered his head and smiled, his mission has been completed, now it is the turn of the Red Gloves team and church personnel to deal with these Extraordinary people who have been exposed.

He tightened his black robe to perfectly hide his aura, and then he shouted: "The stars are twinkling!"

Along with a burst of dazzling starlight, his figure disappeared again.

What disappeared at the same time was the aura he left behind.

This is a powerful sealed object entrusted to him by the Church of the Night Goddess.

There are three pieces in total, one is a life-saving thing used to perform space transfer, and the other is to simulate the light belonging to the stars.

When these two sealed objects are used together, it is the so-called twinkling stars.

The last sealed item was the black robe on his body.

This is a cloak that can change its form and hide its breath. It is simply called the cloak of night.

With three sealed objects in his possession, Leonard could calmly face tonight's dangerous situation.

……

In the depths of the alley near the Brave Bar, Leonard changed the night cloak on his body into a black windbreaker, and walked out of the alley with a disgusted expression on his face.

This last time the stars twinkled, he deliberately teleported farther away in order to stay away from the Extraordinaries hiding in the dark.

Who knew that this teleportation would cause him to almost collide with a trash can, but luckily he dodged in time, otherwise his whole body would be stained with a stink.

When he was about to walk out of the alley, Leonard lowered his head and murmured: "Old man, there are no powerful Beyonders peeking at me in the dark now, right?"

"Didn't you act brave just now? Are you actually afraid now?"

"Ahem, I didn't do that just to make the acting more realistic."

"I enjoyed your performance very much."

"I'm quite happy. After all, I was playing tricks on a group of extraordinary people who are much stronger than me."

Leonard couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he thought about tonight's performance.

He felt that the time was still too short and the performance was not enjoyable enough.

If there is a chance next time, he will be more prepared, preferably with a copy.

For example, how should you speak to make yourself appear particularly arrogant and confident?

What actions should you use to show that you are different?

How can I provoke everyone when using Twinkle Stars?

"Hehe, pretending to be a believer in the stars, if you really get involved with the stars, don't regret your behavior tonight."

Leonard's mouth twitched slightly, and he hesitated for a while before saying, "Old man, is it really that serious?"

"If you pretend to be a believer of the Lord of Storms, cause trouble everywhere, and are discovered by Him, will He casually drop a thunderbolt and kill you?"

Leonard whispered in a low voice: "...it shouldn't be discovered."

"Look up."

Leonard obeyed and looked up. The stars in the starry sky shone brightly, like blinking eyes.

"..."

Leonard's face completely froze.

Everything is under the gaze of the stars!

He couldn't help but shudder, and he no longer had the joy and excitement he had just now.

If there really is such a mysterious existence representing the stars, then all my performances tonight will be under his watchful eyes.

"..."

Leonard was silent for a while, feeling heavy and depressed.

He raised his head and glanced at the people coming and going on the street, as well as the bustling shops and bars.

He suddenly felt very cold.

"Let's go have a drink first."

Leonard glanced at a nearby bar and walked in.

Brave Bar, at this moment he needs to use bravery to dispel the fear in his heart.
