Mystery: The Stars Returner

When the maid was about to take these two people who sneaked in and did bad things for questioning, they suddenly pinched their necks with both hands, their eyes widened for an instant, and in less than three seconds, they died silently. .

This is definitely not because he strangled his neck and suffocated to death!

Because three seconds is too short, not enough for two adults to die silently.

The maid stepped forward, squatted down, and checked their physical condition. There was no sign of poisoning.

When she wanted to try to swim upstream from the fate line between the two people, she felt that the fate line suddenly broke off in the middle.

It was as if there was some kind of sharp blade that accurately cut off the fate of the two of them.

In the known fate, they did strangle their own necks and finally died of suffocation due to lack of oxygen.

There are extraordinary people who are good at destiny hiding behind!

The maid's frown relaxed. When it comes to fate, the monks in yellow are also very good at it.

Although things tonight are a bit strange, as long as they are given a little time, they can definitely catch the instigator lurking in the dark.

As for the bodies of these two people...huh?

Why did the wind suddenly pick up?

The slightly curly black hair on the maid's forehead changes with the direction of the wind, naturally flying in the direction of the party.

She glanced at the party area in the distance, then looked up at the sky.

Perhaps because of the rising wind, the thick clouds, fueled by the wind, were gradually covering up the light that originally belonged to the crimson moon and the stars.

Is it just a normal natural phenomenon?

She thought for a while and felt that this question was too profound, so she called the gardener and asked him to solve the problem here.

This was originally the area he was responsible for.

The wind is coming, not too strong.

For the guests who are getting better, the wind blows just right and is very cool.

Hastur, who was chatting and drinking with Greco and Hibbert, also felt the blow of the wind. He frowned slightly and thought, but he didn't notice anything unusual, but felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.

Leonard, who had been avoiding Serafina, tensed his muscles and looked around carefully, fearing that the ageless witch would suddenly appear behind him.

"The wind is so strong tonight..."

"Old man, you almost scared me when you suddenly made a sound." Leonard muttered dissatisfied.

Soon, he found a quiet place with no one around and asked, "What's wrong with the wind tonight?"

"I don't know."

"???" Leonard said angrily: "Old man, are you deliberately making fun of me, right? You clearly know that I am very nervous now."

"Maybe I sensed it wrong."

"What's wrong with the induction? Do you think this is the wind?"

Leonard purposely stretched out his hand to feel the gentle breeze. It was cool and comfortable, but he felt nothing else.

The old man didn't speak anymore and fell silent again.

"The old man is a little confused tonight."

Leonard muttered, and when he caught a glimpse of Serafina coming from the other side, he hurriedly moved to stay away from her.

At the small auction, Klein bid on three items in succession as Dawn Downstad.

This caused many nobles present to glance at him and have a slight impression of him.

Faced with the scrutiny, Klein always smiled appropriately, but his heart was secretly bleeding.

The items he chose to bid for were small items such as earrings and pendants, each worth about 100 gold pounds, but in the end he spent nearly 400 gold pounds to successfully buy these three items.

The reason why he chose to take three consecutive photos was to deepen the impression of him by the nobles present.

If it was just once or twice, it would definitely not attract much attention, but three times in a row and with a relatively unfamiliar name, it would easily attract the attention of others.

The name Dawn Downstad is destined to become famous tonight, even if it comes at a cost of 400 gold pounds.

"The goal of coming to the party tonight can be considered accomplished. Fortunately, I didn't have to bid for those valuable items." Klein was secretly grateful in his heart.

There were many wealthy aristocratic ladies present, and when they faced jewelry with completely different styles from South Wales and Backlund, each offer was more cruel than the last.

Among them is a necklace called Blue Ocean, which is carefully crafted from sapphires and pearls. Under the light, it can emit light blue light.

If you look at it from a certain angle, you can even see a blue ocean swaying gently inside the sapphire.

This blue ocean was eventually acquired by a lady named Germani at a high price of 12000 gold pounds.

According to his estimate, the total auction amount tonight may exceed 10 gold pounds.

The aristocrats are really a wealthy group.

Klein sighed and moved a little away, feeling the cool breeze.

Time passed by and once the auction was over it was time to dance.

The aristocratic lady who had chatted with Klein before came over. Klein naturally smiled, held her hand, and invited her to dance.

While dancing, Klein caught a glimpse of Mrs. Gemani, who spent the most money tonight, and successfully danced with Hastur.

This seems to be an unspoken rule in the aristocratic circle. As the host of the event, he should not refuse a small request from the most popular guest tonight.

"Although sometimes, I feel that money is a smelly thing, but tonight, it helped me realize a small wish." Mrs. Germani whispered softly.

"This shows that money is an important thing for everyone that cannot be replaced."

With the ball over, tonight's Care of Magical Creatures Charity Gala has come to an end.

……

At around twelve o'clock, Hastur was in the study listening to the reports from the maid and the gardener. As for the two corpses, he was not interested in seeing them.

It is natural that some people will target you secretly.

Hastur has never worried about this. As long as they dare to take action, it is easy to find the person lurking behind it by peeking into the relevant fate.

But tonight, the situation is a bit special. The fate of these two people has been cut off, and they cannot go up the river of fate.

This shows that the people hidden behind have high attainments in the path of destiny.

Seeing that neither the maid nor the gardener could solve the matter, and Mrs. Lisa was still sitting in South Wales, Hastur could only take over the matter on her own.

Late at night, Hastur lay on his bed and entered the palace of stars.

The maid and the gardener are both Sequence 4 priests of the King in Yellow path. Although they have not yet been promoted to Sequence 3 Life Stealing, they still have certain abilities in destiny. Even they can't find the problem. Hasta is really looking forward to it.

When he began to peek into the related fate of the two people tonight, he also encountered the situation mentioned by the maid and the gardener. The related fate line was cut off and he could no longer explore further.

Unlike the two of them, Hastur clearly saw the scissors cutting the thread of fate.

Different from the large pair of scissors in the gardener's hand that can be used to trim branches and leaves, this pair of scissors looks much slender and smaller, just like the small scissors used by a girl to cut cloth or paper.

The whole body of the scissors is like pouring silver, with streaks of golden lines engraved on the shiny white cutting surface.

The tip of the scissors is slightly sinuous, like two silver-white snakes intertwined.

The pin is slightly raised, and the shape of a human face is vaguely visible. It is a feminine face, but there is only one eye, which is located a little above the bridge of the nose.

It was such a pair of scissors that easily cut the fate of two people tonight into pieces, making their fates drift away like kites with broken strings, unable to fly back again.

Hastur ended his destiny peeping, gently rubbed the corners of his eyes, then materialized pen and paper, and completely imprinted the appearance of the pair of scissors he just spied on on the paper.

He originally thought that things like cutting fate into pieces might be related to the Ring of Fate. After all, he had officially stood on his opposite side.

But judging from the style this time, it probably wasn’t His handiwork.

You can ask Will.

After leaving the Hall of Stars, Hastur entered the dreamland and saw Will yawning.

Will, who originally wanted to complain, caught a glimpse of the scissors pattern printed by Hastur, his sleepy eyes suddenly opened, and he suddenly grabbed the pattern, and his whole body became energetic instantly.

"Where did you learn about this pattern?"

"Is it important?" Hastur asked calmly.

"This pattern is very important." Will looked at it carefully for a while and said solemnly: "I also saw this pair of scissors, just in a dream two days ago."

"In a dream?" Hasta's expression became serious.

The dreams of mercury snakes like Will are extraordinary. They are basically a revelation of fate to their future.

"Yes, in a gray dream, I transformed into a mercury snake, and then my body was cut in half with a pair of small scissors, making it bloody."

After Will finished telling the story, his body shivered slightly, which showed that this dream was about to leave a psychological shadow on him.

"Is this specifically to restrain you?"

"Judging from my dreams and your experience tonight, it can indeed cut fate into pieces." Will's face was full of worry, "It can cut fate into pieces, and naturally it can cut me and that stupid dog into pieces." snake."

"I think He must have had the same dream as me."

Hastur also fell silent. If it was true as Will said, then the owner behind the scissors must represent an old Outer God, and it was an Old Outer God that he had never known before.

There are too many outer gods entrenched in the starry sky in the past. The Mother Tree of Desire and the Super Star Lord are just the more powerful or famous among them.

There are still many outer gods that have not revealed any trace of their past.

"I don't care, this matter must be related to you, you must protect me."

Will raised his big, watery eyes with a pitiful expression on his face: "Can you bear to reject me?"

I can't bear it.

Before Hastur could say these words, Will hurriedly said: "I know you can't bear it."
