Mystery: The Stars Returner

"Did you have a long memory?"

"If you rely on yourself to recover from this injury, you won't be able to recover within hundreds of years."

"I've told you many times not to mess with the stars."

"His personality and authority are there, and intervening in the real world is just a means."

In an ordinary church with a simple shape on the seaside, in front of the cross under the dome, stood a simple and gentle ordinary priest, wearing a simple white robe, with a cross pendant hanging on his chest, and eyes as clear and innocent as a baby. .

Next to the priest stood a young man wearing a black classical robe and a pointed hat of the same color, with black curly hair, black eyes, a wide forehead and a thin face.

At this moment, he was lowering his head slightly and gently wiping the monocle in his hand. From time to time, he breathed lightly on the lens to make it brighter and cleaner.

"Your pride and self-confidence and underestimating the enemy will one day bring you into the desperate situation of death again."

"What you rely on is just another important clone that has been prepared in advance. Even if the main body dies, the extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness will escape on their own, and then be resurrected in that important clone."

"Silly trick."

"In the prison of the stars, once your body dies, your extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness will be completely left there."

"When you are resurrected, you will no longer be the blasphemer Amon, the King of Angels, but an ordinary Sequence 2 angel."

The flat tone of the priest's words made the eyes of the young man next to him deepen. He slowly put the monocle made of crystal carvings on his right eye, with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Isn't this an interesting adventure?"

"I was almost sent to the stars tonight. The power of the stars is really interesting."

"I really want to steal it."

The tone was slightly teasing and playful, not at all like the dejected look of someone who had just suffered a disaster.

"Luck won't always be on your side."

"But I'm still alive and well. Didn't you also take the opportunity to learn more about the stars?" Amon smiled, "This can be regarded as my contribution."

Adam just looked calmly at Amon, who still had an indifferent attitude, and spoke slowly: "God the Father once predicted: You are the God of cunning, the God of mischief, and the light when the end comes."

Upon hearing the title Father God, Amon put away the careless expression on his face and stared at his brother with a cold expression.

"Do you understand the meaning of light?"

"It's nothing more than helping to save the world, isn't it?"

"Maybe you can't bear such responsibility at all. Excessive expectations are just a waste of time."

"This is the prophecy left to me by Father God. It's not your turn to question it!" Amon's attitude completely cooled down. "I'm not interested in listening to your long sermons here. I will only rely on my own ideas. Act.”

"You do have a serious lack of humanity. Maybe it's time to temporarily take away your authority and ability and let you experience life like an ordinary person."

Hearing this, Amon couldn't hold back the smile on his lips, and looked at Adam in front of him with a mocking expression, "Hahaha, human nature? Are you worthy of talking to me about human nature? Do you still have any humanity at all?"

Adam just remained silent and did not answer the question, "Before you leave, let me give you one more message: don't easily provoke the bottom line of the stars."

"Oh, do you think I will listen to you?" Amon curled his lips disdainfully.

"I will soon follow the tide of the times and become a god. Please be quiet during this period."

Amon just shouted, turned around and left the church, disappearing far away.

"My humanity has always been caring for you, my only child."

Adam raised his head slightly and looked at the cross hanging under the glass in front of him, and murmured softly.

……

Backlund, inside the Brave Bar, Leonard rarely had time to come here to kill the boring night time.

Since the old man left, he has easily felt lonely, which he attributed to the old man's dependence.

It was okay during the day, but at night, after he finished his work with the Red Glove Team, he didn't know what to do.

Occasionally talking to himself, no one can respond to him.

Hastur has already left Backlund, and that guy Klein has been disappearing without even a fixed location. It is undoubtedly a luxury to want to chat and drink with them.

"It's time for you to start a family."

This sentence was Archbishop Anthony's friendly advice to him, saying that now that he was successful in his career, it was time to consider personal issues.

Start a family?

Leonard couldn't help but think of the ageless witch in his mind, which almost frightened him into a stress reaction.

She seems to be still in Backlund, right?

Just as Leonard had this idea, a familiar figure came to the door of the bar.

It's Miss Serafina in a black dress!

Leonard subconsciously lowered his head, turned his back, pretended not to see anything, and silently drank the spicy wine in the glass.

"Isn't it too boring to spend a long night alone?"

Serafina came in from the door, faced the stunned gazes of the drinkers, and naturally sat down next to Leonard.

"Haha, I thought you would become mature after not seeing each other for a long time, but I didn't expect you are still so innocent and childish."

With a chuckle, the white fingers of her right hand hooked the transparent wine glass, shaking the red wine in the glass. Her bright red lips opened and closed gently, and slowly spit out the sweetness that was enough to make people die.

"You don't need to be so vigilant. The witch is also a normal woman, and you are a normal male. Males, out of biological instinct, will naturally chase after females that exude an alluring aura. This is nothing to be ashamed of."

At this moment, Serafina is like a big sister next door, her words are serious and earnest: "The suppression and escape you think are useful will only make you fall deeper and deeper into the abyss in the future."

"Is this the witch's usual trick of playing on people's hearts?" Leonard finally spoke, his expression looking very calm.

"This is just a normal chat. It doesn't require any means. Moreover, we are also sincere sometimes. In comparison, you are even more hypocritical."

"Haha." Leonard just sneered.

"You look unconvinced?" Serafina raised her eyebrows slightly, put the wine glass in her hand on the bar, and said with a smile: "When I fall in love with a man, I will sincerely invite him to spend time with me. It’s a sweet night, but if I don’t like it anymore, I will kick him away without hesitation.”

"Because I am loyal to my heart and do whatever I want."

"And you, what about you?"

"You obviously like her very much in your heart, but you say things you don't mean, and you don't dare to say what you want, so you can only suppress your inner thoughts to make yourself a decent person who meets the public's moral standards."

"Look at Backlund, the city of hope. How many couples are sleeping in the same bed at night, thinking about their little lovers?"

"They still pretend to be in love during the day. Gee, how false is this."

Leonard didn't answer, he just drank the remaining wine in the glass, then stood up to pay and left.

If he stayed any longer, he would not have the confidence to remain calm.

When he stood up to leave, Serafina leaned into his ear and whispered: "Do you dare to say that you have never thought of sleeping with me?"

Leonard had a sullen face and left without saying a word.

When he walked out of the bar door, the cool wind blowing from the street gave him some solace in his irritable heart.

Delusions and delusions are inevitable for a normal person.

But the reason why humans are human is that they are different from beasts and follow instinctive restraint completely.

He didn't think that his restraint was wrong, nor did he think that what Serafina said was correct. He just couldn't completely calmly face the ageless witch.

After hailing a carriage, Leonard returned to his home. During the time in the carriage, he had already sobered up from his drunkenness.

Go to the bathroom to take a bath, then go back to your room and lie down on the bed to rest.

"Old man, the witch is really annoying."

Leonard subconsciously whispered in his heart, but soon he came to his senses. The old man had gone far away, and he didn't know when he would come back.

"Haha, I think you are greedy?"

"Bullshit, am I that kind of person?" Leonard subconsciously retorted with expletives.

Wait, did it sound like an old man’s voice just now?

Leonard jumped up from the bed in shock. He looked left and right several times, and then whispered in his heart: "Old man, is it really you who is back?"

"No one but me would be willing to return to your skinny body."

There was still the same disgusting tone as before. Leonard was overjoyed, but he quickly became vigilant, fearing that this was Amon's way of fooling him.

"The alertness is pretty good, but the strength is still not that good."

"Old man, is it really you?"

After a while, Leonard gradually got used to the fact that the old man was back in his body.

"Old man, when did you return to my body?"

"Before you have a heated chat with that ageless witch."

"..."

"One thing she said is quite right."

"Continuing to suppress yourself will not allow you to achieve true relief and freedom."

"Restraint is also a kind of life practice."

Leonard looked like he had seen through everything in the world.

"Deceiving yourself." Pales mocked and continued: "The reason why you have always been at a psychological disadvantage when facing the ageless witch is because you cannot honestly face your inner desires."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"Go to bed with her, and then wait for her to kick you away mercilessly, and you will naturally stop caring about her."

"roll!"

Leonard's reply was concise and to the point.

"I'm not kidding you, this is a good solution. Besides, do you think she will stay with you all night long if you want?"

"Don't be stupid, they are masters at playing with people's hearts. The more impatient you are, the more they will deliberately hang you."

"Sparring with witches is very beneficial to growth, well, in every sense of the word."

Leonard was too lazy to talk to the old man who was getting more and more ridiculous, but he still felt warm in his heart and could finally sleep well tonight.
