Mystery: The Stars Returner

Leonard reported the news and after waiting for three days, he received a reply: "Weigh the pros and cons and handle it yourself."

"..."

Well, that's a piece of nonsense that's so correct that it's impossible to find fault with.

Leonard sighed, originally wanting to pretend that the yellow clothes phenomenon never happened.

But in just a few days, there was a priest from the Church of the Goddess of the Night in Dixi County. Because he met the King in Yellow on the street late at night, he actually chose to abandon the faith of the goddess and fall into the arms of the King in Yellow.

It is certainly a big thing to break one's faith.

The pressure dropped layer by layer, falling on Leonard's shoulders.

While sending people to find out the truth, he also needed to take certain measures against the yellow monks in Backlund.

Late at night, on Westminster Street in the South District of the Bridge, another member of the Yellow Monks spontaneously took to the streets, following the back of an unknown figure in Yellow.

In order to prevent accidents, this time Leonard personally led two capable team members and followed the group of yellow-clothed monks at a short distance.

Apart from walking on the streets late at night and reciting the poems from "Children of the Stars", there was no other unusual behavior.

"Captain, are we going to stop them?"

"Wait a minute." Leonard stopped them from taking any rash action.

Under their gaze, the group of monks in yellow robes lined up in rows walked through the streets, walking under the shining light of the stars.

Yes, the light of the stars.

This is something Leonard suddenly noticed. In those data, every time the yellow clothes phenomenon is recorded, it must be a clear night with stars.

"Star Child", the light of the stars, if you connect the two...

Leonard's heart beat violently, and he swallowed dryly. He was just about to ask one of his team members to explore the way ahead, but suddenly he discovered that the two team members following him had disappeared!

Obviously, they were just two or three steps behind him.

He couldn't help but look around. In the dark night, he didn't find his team members. He only saw a figure in ragged yellow clothes standing quietly at the end of the street in front of him.

A lonely monk in yellow?

wrong!

Leonard looked carefully, his pupils dilated and then shrank suddenly. That figure was not an ordinary monk in yellow!

That is the incarnation of the King in Yellow who can fulfill people's wishes or destroy everything and bring misfortune!

The yellow clothes on His body are particularly conspicuous in the dim world, as if the whole world has begun to center on Him at this moment.

The figure could neither see its specific limbs nor its facial expression. From a distance, it looked like a ball of wind holding up a piece of yellow clothing.

The drums are ringing and empty.

Leonard had no idea of ​​heroic sacrifice, so he suppressed the sound of his footsteps and retreated into a small alley behind him. He held a revolver filled with bullets with extraordinary effects in his left hand, and held an extraordinary stone-shaped object in his right hand. This was very unusual. Earlier when he was pretending to be a believer in the stars, his superiors temporarily lent him an extraordinary item that could be used for short-term teleportation.

When he took over this Red Glove team, this thing was given to him for self-defense.

At the same time, he was also calling to the old man in his heart, hoping that he could give him some advice at this critical moment.

But the old man not only remained silent, but hid himself.

Is the old man worried?

Leonard's thoughts flashed across his mind, and when he came back to his senses, the originally dark and uninhabited alley was already behind him, and the figure in yellow was getting taller and taller in front of him.

Did you run in the opposite direction?

No, it was this incarnation of the King in Yellow that distorted the space around him!

He tried to activate the extraordinary object in his right hand again, but not even a single ripple in space appeared.

"Looks like I won't be able to run away tonight."

Leonard randomly stuffed the thing into his pocket, holding the gun with both hands instead of one hand.

He did not run back, but faced the figure in front of him who was suspected to be the incarnation of the King in Yellow.

After all, he is now also a Sequence 6 Requiem Master, and he is best at sending things that should not exist in the world back to the world where they should go.

As Leonard gradually approached the incarnation of the King in Yellow, his head unconsciously became empty, and the hands that originally held the guns also put away the guns. His eyes were slightly dull. After a moment of daze, he walked to the street. There was a seat in the open air of a cafe nearby, and I sat down quietly.

When his eyes gradually became brighter, he suddenly found that sitting in front of him was a person who he had been afraid of until now and never wanted to look back.

The immortal witch, Miss Seraphina.

She still looks so young, with fair and delicate skin, without any flaws. She is wearing a complicated black dress, which makes her already outstanding legs look even more slender. Coupled with that, she looks like a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. face.

God, even though he hadn't seen her again for so long, Leonard still felt that his dusty heart began to beat hotly and powerfully.

This is the eager mood that male animals can't wait to show in front of the person they like.

No, no, she is a witch!

The immortal witch of Sequence 3!

I should stay away, not sit face to face with her like this, let alone have any communication.

But when Serafina opposite her raised her watery eyes, and the indescribable expressions of sadness, resentment, joy, sadness, etc. came into his eyes, he was melted.

Like a puddle of water, melting on the table.

"Captain, captain, wake up? Wake up! It's already dawn!"

"Captain, what happened last night?"

"Let's solve it directly with physical means."

Blah blah blah!

Leonard's body shivered momentarily as the biting cold water was poured over his head, and then his eyelids slowly opened.

The light of the golden sun has dispelled the darkness of last night.

On both sides of him were the two team members that he couldn't find last night.

As for myself, I was all wet, my cheek was pressed against the cold glass tabletop, and my hands were holding the round table outside the cafe door.

Leonard blinked, and it took him a moment to realize what was going on.

He stood up abruptly, subconsciously reaching out to wipe the corners of his mouth, and then patted his cheek to calm himself down.

After the chaotic mood returned to normal, Leonard said with a straight face, "Didn't you two suddenly disappear last night?"

"Captain, did you remember correctly?"

"Yes, we were clearly following you last night."

The different words were completely inconsistent with the memories that still remained in my mind.

Soon, Leonard got a different version of the story from these two players.

Last night, in the sight of the two of them, I suddenly ran towards the street ahead with a look of caution and nervousness, then suddenly stopped, and then sat on the outdoor seat in front of the cafe.

A person seemed to be talking to himself, and finally he hugged the round table in front of him with both hands, leaned down, and put his cheek against it, with a silly smile on his face.

The two team members tried many methods but to no avail. It was not until dawn the next day that they decided to wake him up by pouring cold water on him.

Leonard's first reaction after hearing this was that the two of them were lying. He clearly saw the incarnation of the King in Yellow walking on earth last night.

Hey, yes, why did she become that ageless witch Serafina again?

It seems that something went wrong last night.

Did he really encounter the King in Yellow?

Leonard was silent for a long time, instructing the two team members not to reveal the matter at will, and then led them back. He went back to his room first, took a shower, and changed into clean clothes.

Before he started asking the old man, the old man's voice came from deep inside his heart, "I don't know anything about what happened last night."

"Old man, do you really feel nothing?"

"Oh, only you can feel it."

"..."

Leonard was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. He tried to defend himself, but the old man fell silent.

……

"Good news, good news, the Republic of Intis has declared full war on the Feysac Empire!"

"The Kingdom of Feneport, Sehgal, Lemburg, Masi and other countries have also declared war on the Fusac Empire!"

"Breaking news, big news, the kingdom's army has retaken the Losek front and is advancing towards the capital of the Fusac Empire!"

On the streets, children selling newspapers quickly sold out all the newspapers in their hands.

Klein, who was shopping, also bought a newspaper. After reading it calmly, he handed it to a middle-aged man next to him who wanted to buy the newspaper but was unwilling to pay for it.

Seeing that the time had already reached noon, Klein found a higher-end restaurant, Intis Serenzo Restaurant, which had the purest Intis dishes, and many of its signature dishes were sold under the name Russell. .

Soon, a waitress came over and introduced them to the features of this restaurant.

Each dish can be ordered a la carte, or the restaurant can customize a set meal for you. The set meal is divided into three sizes: 8 gold pounds, 12 gold pounds, and 15 gold pounds.

Klein smiled and chose the 15 gold pound set meal.

When he spent the money, he could feel the envious eyes of the waitress.

At the same time, he also received a delicious meal commensurate with the money.

Black truffle porcini, Intis-style foie gras, braised dagoya beef short ribs...

Well, that’s the delicious taste of money.
