Mystery: The Stars Returner

Being noticed by a mysterious being is something big or small.

Some mysterious beings just glance at you accidentally, and then look away later, and will not stare at you idly.

And some mysterious beings are more terrifying. The first moment they notice you, they already regard you as prey, or as a sacrifice to be sacrificed.

Many ordinary people who come into contact with mysterious events have these experiences, and their endings are often tragic.

"No way." Leonard said to interrupt the thoughts that were constantly surging in his mind.

"We'd better be careful. The church attaches great importance to this matter, and there must be some inside story that we don't know about."

"You mean, the church knows who the mysterious being behind the nursing home is?" Leonard asked in a low voice.

"Shh, let's not mention these things, lest we attract the attention of that mysterious being again."

Klein's cautious attitude made Leonard feel nervous.

It was not until dawn the next day that the fire in the nursing home was completely extinguished. After half a day of statistics in the morning, the death toll was 8, 17 suffered severe burns, 26 people escaped from the nursing home in time, and 2 were missing.

Both Klein and Leonard focused on the two missing persons, Sheriff Reed and his lover.

It is also the focus of observation in this nursing home.

This is certainly not a coincidental accident, but a deliberate one, with the purpose of helping Sheriff Reed and his wife escape from the nursing home.

Leonard sighed and said, "It seems we are going to be busy again."

"Hope everything goes well."

Klein was not very optimistic about this incident and could only let the police continue to search for the real cause of the fire in the nursing home. He and Leonard went to interview the survivors of last night's fire to see if they could get some useful information.

After another busy day, Klein and Leonard summarized an analysis of the nursing home accident report.

Last night, some survivors did see Sheriff Reed and his wife, and said that the two of them knew magic and left the place just by walking through a mirror made of intertwined firelight.

Mirror? !

Leonard is very familiar with this thing. The last time he entered Sheriff Reed's dream, he saw countless light mirrors. Stepping through the light mirrors felt like he could cross different worlds.

If what the eyewitnesses said is true, then there are extraordinary factors behind Sheriff Reed and his wife leaving the nursing home, and there is a high probability that it is that mysterious being.

Another witness said that the fire in the nursing home last night was not a gas pipe rupture, but a large fireball suddenly exploded in the small yard near Sheriff Reed and his wife.

The ignited fire spread to the gas pipeline, causing the entire nursing home to be caught in the fire.

Based on these two points, Klein and Leonard began to reason and analyze, and believed that this was most likely what happened.

The large fireball that appeared out of thin air turned into a mirror surrounded by fire, leading Sheriff Reed and his wife out of the nursing home, and then detonated, destroying the entire nursing home.

Klein carefully read through the confessions of the two witnesses and asked uncertainly: "Did you feel that there was something wrong?"

"Well, if that's the case, why did these two witnesses survive? They should have been buried in the fire."

"I think so too, but it doesn't look like they are lying."

Leonard was silent for a while and asked: "Could it be that part of the scene those two people saw was an illusion? Sheriff Reed and his wife did not actually leave through the mirror surrounded by fire, but hid in the chaotic crowd last night and escaped from the nursing home. ?”

"You mean Chief Reed and his wife are still staying in Backlund?"

"I'm just making a reasonable guess, but I'm not completely sure."

"The more I think about it, the more it seems possible. This can also explain why these two witnesses were able to survive."

Klein's eyes lit up and he began to mobilize police officers to conduct a detailed investigation of all nearby areas.

……

The sea, on board the Black Emperor.

Hasta was lying on his side on a lounge chair, with a sun umbrella standing on his left hand side to block the fading sunlight. On his right hand side, there was a small square table with several bottles of wine and baked dried fish.

Azshara also followed him to enjoy the delicious dried fish, meowing happily from time to time.

Since chatting with Nast yesterday, Hastur has enjoyed special treatment on the Black Emperor. As long as his request is not too rude, the crew on the Black Emperor will try their best to satisfy him.

During the conversation with them, Hastur truly understood how famous the High Dimensional Overlookers had become in this sea.

It turns out that there are four pirate kings on this sea.

At the top of the list is Nast, the King of the Five Seas, followed by the Mysterious Queen, the Immortal King, and the Black Seat King.

At present, the Immortal King has become the subordinate of the High-dimensional Overlooker. Nast has also met the High-dimensional Overlooker and publicly admitted that he is not his opponent.

The Black Seat King hid and did not dare to show up, and most of his crew were recruited by the High Dimensional Overlookers.

Only the mysterious queen Bernadette is currently in the southern continent, just avoiding the sharp edge of the high-dimensional overlooker.

Not only did the pirates suffer heavy losses, but the regular navy of the Kingdom of Loen was also dealt with by Gao Dimensional Overlooker several times, contributing two armored ships to him.

The Church of Storms, which has always been rampant in the sea, has also been targeted by high-dimensional overlookers one after another. Currently, it is basically blocked in the Abyss of Storms and dare not come out.

The most common legend about this uncrowned king is his elusive speed.

You might be in Desi Bay in the morning, but suddenly appear outside the Storm Abyss in the afternoon.

Some people speculate that this is the mastery of some extraordinary object that can travel across space.

There is also speculation that the uncrowned king has the power to travel through time and space.

News also spread from within the Church of Storms, saying that the concept of space has no meaning in front of the Uncrowned King.

Hastur showed great interest in this. The behavior of the High-dimensional Overlooker has always puzzled him. Hearing more about his deeds will help him understand his true character better.

The only thing that worried him was that if the High-dimensional Overlooker appeared in front of him at this moment, would he know his true identity?

Hastur thought again and again, and felt that with the strength of an incarnation of a high-dimensional overlooker, it was impossible to see through his identity under the double disguise of darkness and destiny.

As long as you don't enter the Hall of Stars in front of Him, He won't be able to discover you.

"Who would have thought that I would spend such a leisurely life on the Black Emperor."

Hastur drank another glass of wine and watched the sunset being swallowed by the sea.

The sun always rises and falls like this, in a constant cycle.

Maybe one day, if the sun sets today, it will not be the same sun that rises tomorrow.

……

Port Plin, formerly known as Drinkport, was originally named in memory of the former Archduke of South Wales.

Shortly after the current Archduke of South Wales succeeded him, he renamed the port Port Plynn.

It is currently one of the three important ports in South Wales. Directly south of it is the Port of Behrens in the Southern Continent.

Today a medium-sized fishing boat sailed from the sea and arrived at Pulin Port.

As soon as the fishing boat docked, bursts of excited and happy cheers came from the cabin, but no one dared to come out of the cabin until the captain of the captain's room personally invited a young man from the VIP room and respectfully sent him ashore.

"We finally arrived in South Wales. It's been a bit of a hard journey."

"Aisshara, you must be tired of eating small dried fish all the time on the boat. Next, you can have some rare vegetarian food."

"Meow?!"

The young man held a small black cat with blue eyes in his arms.

When the young man walked away, other passengers poured out of the cabin, like a group of prisoners who had just been released from their cages.

……

In the southern continent, the war that had been brewing for more than half a year finally began to burn.

West Balam and East Balam, which had always been relatively indifferent, joined forces to launch a crackdown on members of the Church of the Seven Gods and related forces from the northern continent under the slogan of restoring freedom and peace in the southern continent.

The war burned mercilessly and soon spread to the entire southern continent.

The cause of the war was that the Eternal Sun Church discovered the Rose School's residence on an island.

As soon as the clergy of the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun, who had been searching for a long time, discovered this place, they began to unite the forces of other churches and start an onslaught.

At first, the Rose School retreated steadily and retreated to the deepest part of the island. Just when the members of the Church of the Seven Gods were about to bulldoze the island in one fell swoop, a sun cracked and rose in the center of the entire island.

When the sun rose into the sky and illuminated the entire island with its dazzling light, the members of the Church of the Seven Gods suffered heavy losses.

At the critical moment, the archbishops of the Eternal Sun Church unexpectedly summoned the gods!

An equally dazzling sun descended from the sky, and the two scorching suns competed, making the nearby sea water boil.

The aftermath of the confrontation turned into rounds of heavenly fire, sweeping across the entire coastline.

Coastal fishing villages and ports faced disasters caused by natural fires and suffered heavy losses.

Coupled with the twin suns competing for brilliance, the sharply rising temperature turned into gusts of foehn winds, burning away from the coastline inland. The fires continued to spread, forming horrific mountain fire disasters.

Grain and cotton plantations have spontaneously combusted due to the ruthless heat.

The losses and impacts caused are too great.

It was under this circumstance that East Balam and West Balam announced their cooperation to expel the Church of the Seven Gods and return a peaceful land to the Southern Continent.

The war began to spread.
