Mystery: The Stars Returner

Backlund in December has gradually entered winter. When it is approaching four or five o'clock, the sky is completely dark, and waves of cold air begin to wreak havoc in the streets and alleys. Pedestrians on the road return home early and start preparing dinner. .

The cold wind blew through the treetops and penetrated through the gaps in the windows that were not closed.

Hastur and Adam sat across a desk from each other. On the table was the 008 that Adam needed.

"In my original prediction it should have stayed with Ince Zangwill, because it was me who helped him trade from Night to 008."

"Ince Zangwill is destined to be unlucky, so he met you. Before I could take action, he met you again because of 008's active intervention, which resulted in 008 falling into your hands. .”

"I have to say that 008 is indeed smarter than Ince Zangwill. It knew how to find a suitable owner for itself, and it did successfully get out of its predicament."

"In order to find out what exactly happened, I went to South Wales where you are, but I didn't expect to encounter an incarnation of the High-dimensional Overlooker."

"Since then, I have understood your origins, Stars."

"Hei Ye noticed you at the same time as I did, even though you were not that outstanding at that time."

"Heiye and I have differences on how to deal with you. He believes that the world no longer needs so many variables, while I think the more chaotic the world, the better."

"Especially since you awakened the ancient phoenix that has been sleeping for an unknown number of years and succeeded in taking away the power of the God of Death in the dark night, it makes it even more difficult for him to tolerate you."

Adam slowly recounted what happened in the past, and His tone was as gentle as a distant lullaby.

It was as if no story or encounter in the world could make his heart waver.

"In the Southern Continent, in the battle of temptations from the gods, the foolish God of War was the first to fall. Black Night and I also took the opportunity to explore some of the powers of the stars."

"The original barrier blocked the old days of the Outer Gods in the starry sky. Since there is a barrier, there is naturally a way to bypass the barrier. The stars have such authority."

"Heiye's thoughts have also changed. He no longer thinks about targeting you, so as not to force you to attract the gods of the stars into the world and bring about the end of the world in advance."

"Having such authority, you naturally have the capital to confront the gods."

Adam stopped again when he said this, his eyes fell on 008, and he smiled and said: "That's a bit far."

"If you were about to become a god and someone happened to take away your key thing, would you also find a way to solve the trouble?"

"I allowed you to grow up to this day before I came to retrieve 008. This is already my biggest concession."

"I have foreseen the tide of the times. My time is running out, and your choices are running out."

"This is not a threat, but a frank communication. This may avoid unnecessary disputes. After all, I am also looking forward to the day when the stars return to the sky."

Even after saying such words, Adam's mood was still very stable and he always kept smiling.

Hastur understands Adam's words. If he holds 008 again, he will take back 008 at all costs, even if he dies together and attracts the alien god from outside the starry sky.

Because if he allowed himself to grow any longer, Adam would no longer have the confidence to threaten himself.

Therefore, He must seize this time to talk openly and honestly with Himself.

Now I can only protect myself at most, and seriously lack the power to protect others.

If he left Backlund with 008 in hand and disappeared, Hastur had no doubt that Adam's madness would be terrible.

"Although you are very frank, this is still a threat." Hastur said slowly, "No matter how beautiful your words are, you can't change the fact that your biggest reliance on this trip is my human nature that I cannot completely discard. "

"You are still young, and the weaknesses of human nature still exist in you." Adam whispered: "The stars are ancient, and one day they will wake up from their slumber. I will not bet on this small probability event."

It turns out that what Adam is most worried about is the stars awakening in his body. The inhuman stars will never hand over something as critical as 008 to Adam.

Adam will completely lose 008. Even if he has other ways to become a god, he can't go perfectly. For him who has been planning for a long time, this is absolutely not allowed.

Hastur was thinking about Adam's words in his heart, and he was also curious, did the ancient stars really ever exist?

Will He really wake up in his own body?

What about the King in Yellow?

He really had too many questions, but at this moment there was not much time for him to think slowly.

"I can give you this extraordinary attribute of a writer, but there is no such thing as a free deal."

"It seems like we've reached a good consensus in our conversations."

Like a child, Adam looked into the distance with clear eyes, and saw an unknown church. Paulie Dellau, who was hiding in the church, was photographed out of thin air into the study.

Pauley Dellaw was surprised at first, but when he saw Adam here, the alertness and nervousness on his face slowly dissipated.

"Dear Utopian Angel, do you have any instructions?"

Paulie Dellaw bowed to Adam with respect and submissiveness.

What he believed in was the omniscient and omnipotent Creator, and the fantasy angel Adam was not only a powerful angel king, but also the son of the Creator.

"I need you to do something for me."

"Please give me your instructions, Lord Fantasy Angel."

"I need you to sacrifice your life." Adam still maintained a gentle smile on his face, "This is a necessary sacrifice."

"what!"

Pauli Dellaw was so frightened that he took half a step back, and his originally rosy face instantly turned pale.

He obviously came to seek shelter from this Utopian Angel because he wanted to take refuge, but he didn't expect that the person who was supposed to protect him turned out to be the one who wanted to kill him.

The frightened Paulie Dellaw only then discovered that there was a young man sitting behind the desk. He looked to be in his early twenties and was very handsome.

"I, I..." The expression on Pauli Dellaw's face changed drastically for a while, and finally he said with a helpless smile: "I am willing to give everything I have for the awakening of the omniscient and omnipotent Creator."

Having seen Adam's methods before, he knew very well that when Adam said this, he was not discussing with himself, but a notice.

No matter how reluctant he is, he cannot disobey a king of angels.

"Very well, the Lord will remember your contribution."

Adam nodded, picked up the cross hanging on his chest with his right hand, closed his eyes and said a prayer. In front of him, the body of Pauli Dellaw began to decompose for no apparent reason, and in the end, only the extraordinary characteristics of the Sequence 3 Dreamweaver were left, flickering with hazy light.

"Not enough." Hastur just stared at Adam quietly.

A Sequence 3 Dream Weaver's extraordinary characteristics are exchanged for a Sequence 1 Writer's extraordinary characteristics. This is too disparate.

"This is just a meeting gift." There was no surprise on Adam's face.

"If he hears this, he will probably regret his devout belief just now."

"He has never had faith. The reason why he didn't escape just now was because he knew that he would never leave here alive."

"Necessary sacrifice, what an ironic statement." Hastur sneered.

"I can exchange you for a copy of Sequence 1 Extraordinary Characteristics."

"This is just equivalent." Hastur said with an indifferent expression: "You need to add a Sequence 1 extraordinary characteristic as an apology for today's threat."

Adam was silent for a while. He only had one copy of the Sequence 1 Hand of Order extraordinary characteristics.

But after only about three seconds of silence, Adam recognized Hastur's trading method.

Because this kind of transaction was also within His expectations.

There is no such thing as equal exchange, because today's transaction is not equal to both parties.

"I have a copy of the Sequence 1 Hand of Order extraordinary characteristics." Adam took out a copy of the Hand of Order's characteristics that emitted a pale golden light and the previous copy of the Dream Weaver's extraordinary characteristics and suspended them in mid-air.

"Where's the other Sequence 1 Extraordinary Characteristics?" Hastur was also curious about which Sequence 1 Extraordinary Characteristics Adam could find.

Adam said calmly: "The other part is with Medici."

"How cruel."

Hastur clicked his tongue. Adam's answer was both expected and unreasonable. Just coming from Adam's mouth still made people feel cold all over.

"Is this also a necessary sacrifice?"

Hastur asked this question again. Even though he knew that the hunter died of loyalty in the end, it still made people feel uncomfortable.
