Mystery: The Stars Returner

At about one o'clock in the night, Hastur came out of the Brave Bar.

I hadn’t seen Maric for a long time, so I drank a little more wine without realizing it.

He originally wanted Brave Bar to prepare a carriage for him to go back, but he sensed a familiar scent and finally chose to walk back.

Along the street, through an alley, and came to the riverside, a green vine grew from the ground. Hastur stretched out his hand on the vine, and followed the growth of the vine to reach above the clouds.

Hasta chuckled and said, "You haven't rested so late. Are you admiring the moonlight in Backlund, or are you just waiting for me here?"

"Are you interested in investigating the Abraham family?"

Today, Bernadette is wearing a pair of red high heels and a knee-length burgundy skirt. She looks a little taller than before, with a bit more intellectual charm.

"now?"

"The rats hiding in the dark always like to come out in the middle of the night to hunt."

Hastur glanced down at Backlund below and said thoughtfully, "They want to cause trouble for Forsi again."

"Do you know that little girl?"

"Speaking of which, I helped her become a believer in the stars."

"Let's go then."

Bernadette said no more nonsense, opened a portal at will, led Hastur through it, and arrived at a street in the North District.

The two people walked instead and headed towards St. Samuel's Church.

Hasta asked curiously: "Are they hiding near St. Samuel's Church?"

"It's a smart choice."

Hastur was also quite pleased with this. Although Forsi was a bit over the top, it still had some effect at the critical moment.

"They dared to do something near St. Samuel's Church. They were so courageous."

There was a hint of coldness in the corner of Bernadette's mouth, "After all, the extraordinary methods they inherited are best at escaping."

Hastur's thought was right. As long as things were done quickly and a traveler was present, even the Sequence 4 demigods would not be able to catch up with them.

800 meters away to the west of St. Samuel's Church, in a room at the end of the second floor of a hotel, Forsi and Xio were lying on the same bed.

Even though it was very close to St. Samuel's Church, they were still worried about their safety tonight.

Those people are like tarsal poison. Once they stick to you, you can only get rid of them by digging at the flesh and scraping the bones.

Forsi stroked her wrist bracelet with one hand and grasped Xio's right hand with the other hand. If there was any trouble, she would immediately take Xio away from here.

Inside the dark room, only the faint light of the crimson moon outside the window illuminated the room.

"Hugh, are you shaking?"

"I, I don't, I just want to go to the bathroom." Xio couldn't help but blush.

"Keep enduring it."

"Forsi, don't you feel your stomach at all?"

"Hugh, you drank too much water."

"..." Xio blushed and was embarrassed to speak: "I'm used to drinking more water when I'm nervous."

The two chatted quietly, and at this moment, the surrounding air suddenly solidified.

A loud chanting sound sounded!

"I came, I saw, I recorded, it is forbidden here..."

Before she finished reading this sentence, Forsi activated the bracelet on her wrist and took her and Xio away from the bed instantly.

Click.

A mysterious stone cracks on the bracelet.

Forsi had already brought Xiuxiu to the street about 100 meters away from St. Samuel's Church.

"Let's go quickly."

Seeing his position clearly, Forsi's face lit up, holding Xio's hand and about to run towards St. Samuel's Church.

But the street in front of him suddenly twisted and changed, and in the blink of an eye it became an increasingly narrow and dark path, and the only light left at the entrance was disappearing.

Forsi and Xio didn't have time to run out before they were completely trapped in this dark world.

A sound of footsteps came from behind them, from the darkness and silence.

Forsi hurriedly fiddled with the mysterious bracelet on his wrist, but this time, the bracelet lost the ability to travel through space.

With their greatest means of escape ineffective, Forsi and Xio's faces instantly turned pale. Their bodies trembled slightly and their backs leaned together. They could only seek help from the stars in their hearts.

“I didn’t expect there would be additional gains.”

A not unpleasant male voice came from in front of Forsi.

"who are you?"

"Didn't the man who introduced you to the extraordinary world tell you about our family?"

With a reply, there was a little more light in the dark world. Forsi and Xio could barely see the outline of the visitor, but they could not see his appearance clearly.

"What family?" Forsi asked tremblingly.

"Abraham, a family destined to glory."

The visitor was very proud, and his voice could not help but become louder. Black tentacles came from all directions, binding Forsi and Xio tightly.

"It's naive to want to delay time through dialogue."

At this time, a ray of light bloomed, fell from above, tearing apart the dark world in front of him, and countless black tentacles instantly turned into ashes.

"hehe."

The man just sneered when he saw this. He wanted to leave here through teleportation, but was unable to do so smoothly. A little panic finally appeared on his face, which had always been sure of victory.

"To deal with people like you, the first step is to prohibit your ability to teleport freely."

When a familiar voice came, Forsi and Xio's hearts moved slightly at the same time.

Why does this voice sound like Mr. Hastur?

Has he returned to Backlund?

"Mr. Hastur?" Forsi tried to speak cautiously.

Hastur?

A strange and cruel smile appeared on the man's face, and he said sadly: "I've finally waited for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he knelt on one knee on the ground, stretched out his right hand and inserted it into his chest. The blood in his heart spurted out, forming a bright red and mysterious line on the ground.

Like a layer of overlapping illusory portals, there seems to be a powerful and mysterious being awakening behind the portal and approaching, wanting to use this portal to cross over.

When His breath spread, the entire space made an overwhelming sound of fragmentation.

Forsi and Xio were choked by this breath, their throats felt like they were being pinched hard, and they were about to suffocate.

Suddenly, they felt something was wrapped around their waists, and then a huge force hit them, and the two of them were pulled away from here at the same time.

"It's really annoying. It's a pity, but my brain is a little hard to use."

A slightly contemptuous voice came out, and the world in front of him changed.

The man kneeling on the ground, using his own body as the portal, was shocked to find that right in front of him was St. Samuel's Church, and there was no one else around him.

"what!"

The gradually widening portal first swallowed his body and sucked out his blood, and then was easily suppressed by St. Samuel's Church in front of him.

800 meters away from St. Samuel's Church, Forsi and Xio returned to the hotel room where they lived, as if nothing had happened just now.

"Hugh, pinch my face to see if I'm dreaming?"

Xio, who was also in shock, pinched Forsi's face hard. Forsi, who was in pain, quickly shouted stop.

"It's not a dream, but did those things really happen just now?"

"I don't know, it always feels like a dream."

Forsi lowered her head and glanced at the bracelet on her wrist. One stone was missing from it. She murmured, "Just think of it as a dream."

In the clouds, Hastur looked solemnly overlooking the remaining divine power in St. Samuel's Church, suppressing the Sequence 5 traveler of Abraham.

Fortunately, he had reserved a hand in advance and directed this matter to the Church of the Goddess of the Night.

Otherwise, if he were alone, he might really capsize in the gutter.

It can be seen from what happened tonight that the fallen mother goddess has deeply polluted the Abraham family.

Every member of Abraham's family could be a portal through which the fallen Mother Goddess descended.

They seemed to be coming specifically for him. As soon as they sensed his aura, they used their bodies at all costs to attract the power of the fallen mother goddess.

"He wants to deal with the stars by targeting the believers in the stars." This was Bernadette's judgment based on what happened tonight.
