Mystery: The Stars Returner

Chapter 476 Newcomer in Tarot Club, Mr. Star

who am I?

where am I?

What am I doing?

Leonard looked out the broken glass window and fell into deep thought at the place that had burned into a pile of black powder.

Now he really wanted to smoke a cigar to calm himself down, preferably one with thicker leaves and a strong flavor.

What happened tonight was really beyond his expectation. He was like a spectator standing under the stage, and suddenly he was pushed onto the stage and staged a drama that even he himself could not understand.

Although from the current point of view, he has not suffered any losses, he always feels that his heart is filled with panic.

The goddess of the night, the Fool, and the stars, have their eyes really fallen on me?

So who pushed himself out and staged the drama tonight?

Or, all of them?

Leonard suddenly smiled, so what if he knew the answer, it would just add to his worries.

"Old man, why don't you come out and say a few words tonight?"

"Misfortune is the beginning of good fortune."

"That's how I comfort myself."

"That's not necessarily a bad thing."

"Is this statement true or false?"

"Ha, next time you want to pretend to be serious, first stop your legs from shaking so much."

"Oh, I can't control it."

Leonard looked down at his trembling legs, with a wry smile on his face.

He knew that he would definitely be in big trouble tonight, but he hoped that there wouldn't be any big problems in the future.

In the Hall of Stars, Hastur is overlooking Backlund.

It can be said that half of what happened tonight came from his instruction.

When the yellow monks found the map full of names in the dungeon of the workhouse, they fully understood the true purpose of the mysterious black figure.

It is an old spy from an outer god outside the starry sky. Its purpose is to find people who may be among the stars. The Fool may also be within its investigation scope.

This means that there are already outer gods who are doubting the true state of the stars.

We want to take care of the star boarding bodies that are hidden within the initial barrier and have not yet grown up before the stars have completely ascended the starry sky.

The host body is like the relationship between the Lord of Mystery and the travelers above the Origin Castle such as Klein.

Those densely packed names are the suspicious objects in Backlund. They all have more or less unusual aspects.

After a series of explorations, it focused on five names circled in red.

Crane, Dwayne Downstad, Leonard, John Jones, and myself.

Last night, it probably leaked the dungeon on purpose, threw out the map as bait, and then took the opportunity to target the most likely target.

Because under the strict search by members of the Yellow Monks, there was not much time left for it.

Hastur guessed its thoughts, so naturally he couldn't let the gardener and cook bring the map back to him.

Klein and Dawn Downstairs are the same person, a fool, so naturally they cannot be exposed to the old eyes of the outer god in the starry sky.

The only suitable options left are Leonard and that John Jones.

Hastur originally wanted to choose John Jones as bait, but this person did not exist at all. It was the guy Will who deliberately introduced him to prevent himself from disaster.

Therefore, his only choice is Leonard.

So the next day, the map appeared in Leonard's office and fell into Leonard's hands smoothly. The mysterious black figure did indeed use it to find Leonard, which happened to fall into the hands of the yellow-clothed monk. Inside the trap that the soldiers had already laid.

This is what has happened so far.

Everything went smoothly, except that Leonard suffered a little bit, but who made him pretend to be a believer in the stars in the first place, this time he should take it as his apology.

As for the ancient outer god outside the starry sky, Hastur has roughly understood the power he holds.

His authority involves mystery, destiny, distortion, and corruption.

In addition, the mysterious black shadow appeared in the form of a giant spider with a human face, so Hastur gave it a codename: Spider Goddess Rose.

……

"Mr. Hastur, has everything been resolved?"

On Sunday afternoon, in the garden of a villa in Queens, Hastur was drinking tea and chatting with Audrey, while Susie lay leisurely at Audrey's feet, gently wagging her big golden tail.

"Yes, it's solved." Hasta nodded and said with a smile: "Thanks to Detective Audrey's wonderful deduction, things went so smoothly."

"really?"

"Of course, I am thinking about how to thank Detective Audrey for her key role in this case."

"And Susie." Audrey mentioned Susie's name, and Susie barked.

"Susie, what other books do you want to read recently?"

Hastur's eyes looked at Susie lying on the ground, but before Susie could stand up to answer, Audrey spoke first: "Mr. Hastur, Susie has been quite greedy recently, you'd better prepare some for her. Delicious food.”

"Is that so? Susie." Hasta gave Susie a look.

"Wow." Susie understood instantly and nodded to acknowledge what Audrey said, trying to fool Audrey first.

Audrey's face broke into a smile and she was in a very good mood. Susie also wagged her tail and was in an equally good mood.

……

Monday, 3pm.

When Leonard finished his daily work and left in the morning, he told the players that he had something to deal with in the afternoon.

Since one o'clock in the afternoon, he has been alone in the bedroom of the house he was assigned, waiting uneasily and glancing at the time on the clock on the wall from time to time.

When the time hand gradually moved towards three o'clock in the afternoon, he closed his eyes, took several deep breaths, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, and lay on the bed waiting for the call of the Fool.

There was nothing unusual, and he suddenly arrived above the gray mist. It was still the long bronze table, and the figure sitting at the head was still the mysterious and ancient Fool.

The only thing that was different from last time was that there were seven more figures around who couldn't clearly see their specific appearance, but they were equally vague as his own.

These should be other Tarot Club members.

There were only seven people, which was less than I expected.

Leonard was a little flustered at first, but quickly calmed down and began to carefully observe other Tarot Society members.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."

Audrey also saw that the Tarot Club had a new member this week, and she was very happy to say hello to Mr. Fool and all the Tarot Club companions.

"Mr. Xingxing, a poet with a delicate and sensitive mind." Klein gave a brief introduction.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Star."

"Good afternoon, beautiful lady."

Leonard didn't know how to call the girl greeting him, so he could only use "Ms." instead.

“My tarot card is Justice.”

"Good afternoon, Miss Justice." Leonard immediately changed his title.

Seeing Mr. Xingxing standing straight and tense because he didn't know anyone else, you could vaguely see the embarrassment in his eyes.

Audrey was very enthusiastic about introducing other Tarot Club members to him.

This Miss Justice is such a nice person.

Leonard sighed inwardly, and with Audrey's introduction, he also remembered the code names of other Tarot Club members.

The Hanged Man, the sun, the moon, the world, the magician, the hermit.

"Mr. Fool, these are the three diaries of Emperor Russell that I owed last time."

Cattleya took the initiative to offer three copies of Russell's diaries, and Audrey and Alger each also presented one.

"very good."

Klein began to carefully read through the contents of these five Russell diaries.

Leonard, who had just arrived, saw that everyone suddenly became silent. He also sat upright, without squinting, and his back was straightened out of habit.

This scene fell into the eyes of Audrey, Alger, and Cattleya, and they roughly guessed that he should be an official.

Leonard, who was under the spotlight, tried his best to adjust his breathing and relax his body.

Forsi, Derrick, and Emlyn originally did not set their sights on the new Mr. Star.

Just seeing other people sizing up the newcomer, they started sizing him up too, occasionally showing thoughtful eyes.

It wasn't until Mr. Fool, who was sitting at the top, spoke to break the silence that Leonard breathed a sigh of relief.

When entering the free transaction and chat session, Shi Shi, who had always been taciturn, suddenly spoke: "Poet, I once had a poet friend."

That low and hoarse voice made Leonard tremble subconsciously.

"Being Mr. World's friend must not be easy, right?" Audrey answered naturally.

"He was a very trustworthy friend."

After Klein Controlled the World said this, he looked at Leonard specifically, and then stopped talking.

Seeing that the world didn't want to discuss this topic in depth, Audrey said instead: "Some time ago, a mysterious murderer appeared in Backlund. He wrapped three people into cocoons with spider silk and hung them on the Belland Bridge, which caused an uproar. Pay less attention.”

"I've also heard about this case. It seems that the police haven't found the real murderer yet." Forsi continued.

"Oh, instead of believing that those stupid policemen will solve the case, I would rather believe that the homeless man begging on the roadside will fend for himself." Alger sneered.

Leonard frowned subconsciously, and then said in a deep voice: "The mysterious criminal who committed the murder has been brought to justice. The police did not announce it because they did not want to cause unnecessary trouble."

"Is that right?"

Alger let out a soft oh, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looked up and down at the new Mr. Star, and had roughly guessed his identity in his mind.

At this time, he subconsciously spoke for the police. It can be seen that he usually represents an official who maintains order and often cooperates with the police. He also chose the star card, which should be a believer of the goddess of the night.

Taken together, if this Mr. Star is not a Nighthawk, he is a further member of the Red Gloves.

Audrey and Cattleya also looked at the new Mr. Star thoughtfully.

The world was expressionless, but Klein almost put his hand on his forehead.

Leonard, Leonard, you just participated in the Tarot Club for the first time, and you have basically revealed all your details.
