Mystery: The Stars Returner

As the time approaches the day when George III delivers a speech to the nation, the situation in Backlund becomes increasingly undercurrent, chaotic and dangerous.

Pedestrians who get up early in the morning often see a strange corpse suddenly appearing in a trash can deep in the alley.

Even the stray dogs and cats living in dark corners had significantly increased in size during this period, and they didn't even bother to take a look at the bread that fell next to the trash can.

The local police department spends a lot of effort just to deal with the new corpses of strangers added every day, which leads to some gangsters or gangs taking advantage of the troubled waters and causing a lot of trouble.

Klein, who had been hiding in the darkness, even observed Melissa's movements from time to time.

In such a chaotic situation, various security incidents occurred frequently. In order to save some money, Melissa basically walked to school every time to study.

This makes her easily targeted by criminals, who like to traffic in and kidnap innocent little girls.

In the past few days, Klein had secretly helped Melissa drive away two waves of malicious gangsters.

Originally, the local police would take special care of Benson and Melissa. This was an instruction from the Church of the Night. However, the recent chaos and the serious lack of police force allowed some criminals with malicious intentions to take advantage of the loopholes.

Although Klein complained a little about this, he generally understood it.

He thought that if the situation in Backlund continued to be chaotic like this, in order to ensure the safety of Benson and Melissa, he used Will's ability to give Leonard a dream and asked him to take good care of Benson and Melissa. Melissa.

At night, after Klein confirmed that Benson and Melissa were resting, he left the room, changed his identity, and went to attend an extraordinary party.

This is a new and extraordinary gathering focused on exchanging information. If you need to trade, you can also do it on the spot.

The convener of the extraordinary gathering is not Mr. XX, not a member of the Aurora Society, but a well-covered mysterious lady who is said to be a believer in the stars.

Klein also came here for this reason. He has always been interested in the Star Organization and always felt that the other party's organization would be somewhat similar to his own Tarot.

It is also the new extraordinary organization that has attracted the most attention in Backlund recently.

The location of tonight's extraordinary gathering is in an abandoned warehouse near Riverbend Avenue between the South Bridge area and the dock area.

When Klein disguised his identity and appearance and arrived at tonight's extraordinary gathering place, there were already more than a dozen figures here.

A dim chandelier was lit in the center of the warehouse, and other areas were shrouded in darkness. The focus shrouded in light was the convener of tonight's extraordinary gathering.

She wore a tightly wrapped black robe and a hood similar to that of a magician. Her face was covered with a black scarf, and a faint mist obscured her true appearance.

It can only be concluded from the sound of her voice and the curves of her body that she is a woman.

Of course, Klein doesn't rule out that this is a man. After all, the extraordinary world is always full of unexpected things.

It's just that this lady's figure and the feeling she gave him were a bit inexplicably familiar. Could it be that he had seen her before?

Klein suppressed the speculation in his heart and found a quiet place to sit where he could hear the mysterious lady's voice clearly.

He has already participated in this gathering once, and it seems that there is a powerful Beyonder watching here, so no matter where the Beyonder comes from, as long as they don't cause trouble, they can come to the party, and there is no threshold at all.

"In three days, King George III of Loen will give a speech to the nation. At that time, the entire Backlund will usher in the most chaotic moment. Even if you have not participated in it, as long as you are in Backlund, you will inevitably be affected. Influence."

Seeing that the visitor was about the same, the mysterious lady in the center, who was being watched by everyone, finally spoke, and her first sentence aroused everyone's curiosity.

Klein's heart moved slightly. The other party specifically emphasized George III's national speech. Could it be that she also knew that George III wanted to become a god on this day?

So what is her purpose?

Soon, someone asked hoarsely: "George III is just an ordinary person. Even if he is a king, how can he affect the extraordinary world?"

The mysterious lady replied calmly: "What if George III is also an extraordinary person?"

In the dark shadow, another person spoke: "Under the strict supervision of the Church of Night, the Church of Storms, and the Church of Steam and Machinery, does George III dare to violate the ban so blatantly?"

"Isn't the ban meant to be broken?" The mysterious lady seemed to chuckle.

"But what does this have to do with us?" Someone asked in secret.

"This is a question you need to think about. I am just sharing some information, but some information is not free to share. I can only say that the true identity hidden by George III is far beyond your imagination."

The mysterious lady's words hit the mark, but left a lot of room for imagination.

Past gatherings have proven that the mysterious lady is right, and this time will be no different.

Klein has confirmed that the other party must know the news that George III is going to become a god, and he is still not dealing with George III.

Otherwise, she would not have made George III the center of attention at this critical moment.

Her goals should be the same as her own, both to prevent George III from becoming a god.

It seems that the master behind this extraordinary party is Bernadette.

Klein quickly sorted out these things in his mind and relaxed a little at the same time.

Bernadette has already started taking action, which will undoubtedly make it more hopeful to prevent George III from becoming a god.

"With your bold declaration like this, do you think you have too little regard for the Royal Family of Loen?" Someone in the shadows spoke with obviously suppressed anger.

Just listening to this kind of speech, Klein guessed that the other party was an Beyonder from the Loen royal family.

Before the mysterious lady could speak, someone secretly said sarcastically: "If George III really sneaks into the extraordinary world, does he take the three major churches seriously?"

After saying this, he added, "Or was George III's act of exceeding the prohibition tacitly approved by the three major churches?"

These remarks instantly silenced the questioner who had suppressed his anger. No matter how bold he was, he would not dare to be disrespectful to the three major churches.

"As far as I know, the three major churches don't know about this, let alone allow it to happen." Someone said secretly.

Klein guessed that this person might be a member of the three major churches. He said this to help the three major churches clear up the suspicion of colluding with George III.

People from the Loen royal family, wild Beyonders, believers of the three major churches, spies from other countries, members of other extraordinary organizations...

Now Klein truly understands why this extraordinary gathering welcomes all comers. The purpose is to involve all forces and muddy the waters.

Can Bernadette alone be able to shake up this place?

He had heard many legends about this mysterious queen on the sea. According to his estimation, Bernadette's strength should be around Sequence 3.

With such strength, coupled with the bounties she received from various countries, why did she dare to act like this in Backlund?

Because of the stars?

Klein felt slightly depressed and did not think about this issue again, continuing to be a bystander.

In just half an hour, Klein gained a lot of the latest information about Backlund. Someone even directly revealed the identity of a spy from Fosac in public. The person who once spoke for the Loen royal family also His true identity was revealed by someone hiding in the dark.

The mysterious woman who was the organizer did not stop these mutual revelations, but watched all this with interest.

When tonight's extraordinary gathering came to an end, the mysterious lady spoke again: "Tonight is the last gathering. I hope everyone here will be in a good mood in the next few days."

After saying that, a portal opened behind the mysterious lady, and she disappeared from everyone's gaze.

Portal?

The extraordinary abilities of the apprentice path are really useful.

Klein also witnessed the scene of the mysterious lady leaving, and thought that when he was promoted to Sequence 5 marionette master in the future, he must find an Beyonder on the apprenticeship path to make a marionette.

In this way, you can return to Backlund from the sea at any time, which is also very good for escaping.

Feeling a little envious, Klein quietly left the gathering place.

……

When Forsi returned to his home, he took off his tightly wrapped black robe, took off his hood, pulled off his face towel, sat on the sofa, drank a glass of warm water, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

During this period, she has been following the Sage's request to host extraordinary gatherings. She has to face so many looks every night, and occasionally acts as a bait, which is really unbearable for her.

Fortunately, tonight is the last time.

Next, she can stay at home and rest without having to go out to do errands.

"You're back? You look like you just went through a life-and-death battle."

Xio came out of the room and sat next to Forsi, playing with the black robe and hood that she took off, then folded them and put them aside.

"Anyway, my mission is over, but how is the progress of your investigation of the news?" Forsi had already begun to lie down, and even his voice was weak.

"It's going well. The next few days are the most critical and chaotic time. Lord Sage said that I can stay at home with you to prevent you from being alone."

Forsi pouted and said, "You are the only one who is lonely. I wish you were not at home."

"Oh, what a duplicitous woman."

Xio came over and started to tickle Forsi. The two of them laughed and played for a while, and then Forsi received a scene from Mr. Fool in his mind.

It was a picture of a devout believer praying to Mr. Fool.
