Mystery: The Stars Returner

Unfortunately, Amon was almost sent to the stars.

The Fallen Mother Goddess was like a cat that came by smell, and she happened to help Amon once.

After what happened tonight, the Fallen Mother Goddess will definitely hold on to the starry sky. It will not be that easy to open the starry sky portal again in the future.

After Amon suffered this failure, he should also learn to maintain a certain degree of awe towards the stars. Only in this way can he not act randomly.

Otherwise, with his inhumane and bad personality, he might one day extend his claws to people close to him, such as Audrey and Sharon.

For such a bad child, you should give him a painful beating first, so that he will know the bottom lines that cannot be touched.

At present, Adam is preparing to become a god, Amon should be quiet for a while, and he should be busy digesting the Enlightenment Holy Master potion in his body.

In the Hall of Stars, Hastur is summarizing tonight’s gains.

Except that Amon was not sent to the stars, everything else was in line with his expectations.

The God of Knowledge and Wisdom was the first to jump out, indicating that the balance in His heart has begun to tilt toward the stars. This is a good start.

Among the remaining five true gods, the Eternal Sun is locked in his own kingdom, the Night Goddess has a close relationship with the Earth Goddess, and the Lord of Storms is suspected of forming an alliance with the God of Steam.

Hastur seriously thought about their respective calculations and the possible direction of the future situation.

In the end, he still felt sorry for not being able to send Amon to the stars.

……

On February 2st, Backlund's Yellow Clothes Church started to get busy in the early morning, gathering nearby believers to prepare for the first large-scale prayer ceremony tonight.

In order to attract more believers to join the Yellow Clothes Church, they sent many people to the streets to distribute some candies and small gifts, taking this opportunity to publicize the existence of the Yellow Clothes Church to the people of Backlund.

He also told them clearly that even if they just watch the prayer ceremony, they can still receive blessings from the gods.

"Is it really blessed by gods?"

Xio, who was wearing a gray male overalls, a black hat, and two fake beards, was walking to a small promotional base of the Yellow Church on the side of the street with a curious look on his face. He was also holding a small gift worth 2 soles in his hand. .

She accepted a mission from MI and came over to investigate the month-end prayer ceremony of this new yellow-clad church.

After arriving here, she discovered that the new members of the Yellow Clothes Church seemed to have an indescribable temperament in them. Is it the kind of life satisfaction that can only be exuded by people who live a perfect life?

Uh, what a mess... Xio suppressed the strange thoughts in her heart, and while chatting with the members of the yellow-clothed church, she observed the movements nearby.

As night fell, she had thought of having a meal nearby before returning to investigate tonight's prayer service.

The person in charge of the Yellow Clothes Church over there had started distributing free food, attracting many people, so she followed the crowd there.

When we came to the food distribution area, we had white bread, sausages, barbecue sticks, mashed potatoes and a sweet soup that tasted great.

A full portion is enough to feed an adult man with a normal appetite.

It smelled pretty good, and the food was all fresh. Even the sweet soup was willing to put sugar in it. Xio silently tasted the free food.

As she ate, she was surprised to find that such a free dinner was better than what she usually ate, let alone the ordinary residents nearby.

Like Fors, a lazy guy who is too lazy to go out, he eats very little for dinner. Most of the time it is fruits with some vegetable salads, not to mention that it is to control his weight.

Fortunately, this is the West District. If it were opened in a place like the dock area, the food distribution area would have been overcrowded.

This church in yellow looks very rich... Xio was thinking about things while fixing the food on his plate.

After eating, put the plate back into the recycling bin and walk around the area, waiting for tonight's prayer service to begin.

The starry sky tonight is particularly bright, so that the light of the crimson moon is not as dazzling as in the past.

Outside the gate of the Yellow Clothes Church, since this is the first time that the Yellow Clothes Church has held a large-scale prayer ceremony, Mrs. Pope Lisa personally held tonight's prayer ceremony.

The team participating in tonight's prayer ceremony was divided into two sides in an orderly manner. The Pope, who was emitting a light white light and whose appearance was difficult to see clearly, walked at the front of the team.

Xio came earlier and had a relatively front position, probably in the middle of the team. On both sides were believers wearing yellow clothes, which made her appearance a little embarrassing.

But the eyes and thoughts of these believers did not fall on her, but on the figure of the Pope who was leading the team forward.

Their eyes were firm, as if they believed that as long as they followed that figure, they could reach their ideal destination.

The long queue first circled the Yellow Church, and then walked towards the lake behind the Yellow Church.

The brilliant starlight falls on the clear lake, reflecting the dreamlike starry sky.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Xiu always felt that the starlight in the lake was continuously flowing out from the depths of the lake.

When the team completed a circle around the lake, the stars in the lake seemed to be brighter than before.

Then, the team continued to circle around the lake. It is said that it took a total of twelve circles, which took about four hours in total.

When no one was paying attention, Xio quietly looked at the time. It was now early eight o'clock. After completing twelve circles, the time would be almost twelve o'clock.

This is also the real time when the Yellow Church holds its prayer service.

The boring route that could only go around the lake in circles made many ordinary people who came with curiosity choose to give up. They left the team and stood about ten meters behind, turning from followers to curious people. Spectators.

When the number of circles reached six, more and more people left the team, and most of the people who really stayed were wearing yellow clothes.

They themselves are loyal believers of the Yellow Clothes Church, and it is normal for them to persist until now.

But just like Xio, there are also many interested people mixed in the team.

Xio had seen a member of MI also in the circle.

When the circle reached ten times, Xio became acutely aware that something different was quietly happening.

Her eyes turned from the back of the person in front of her to the lake, where the starlight was particularly dense, as intense as a ball of light blue mist. As it circled, the starlight gradually spread from the center of the lake to the lakeside.

When the twelve rounds were completed, the team participating in the prayer ceremony had been wrapped in the starlight mist.

A rather comfortable feeling arises from deep in my heart, gradually dispelling the physical fatigue caused by the boring detour.

Xio felt so comfortable that she wanted to close her eyes. This comfortable feeling coming from deep inside her heart made her whole body feel lighter, and her tense nerves were effectively relieved.

Just when she was about to become addicted to this feeling, Xio suddenly woke up again. She opened her eyes and began to look around.

The surrounding followers of the Church in Yellow Clothes all closed their eyes at this moment, enjoying this blessing that seemed to come from the gods.

Xio's eyes swept around and looked at the center of the lake. The lake surface was as bright as a starry sky. The stars were particularly bright, but that was all. There were no other different changes.

The starlight, which was almost too thick to melt away, did not hinder her vision. She looked at the crowd not far away who gave up and chose to watch, feeling puzzled.

Why can they still choose to watch so calmly?

Can't they see that this place is shrouded in strong starlight?

Only those who insist on completing twelve rounds can enjoy this blessing from the gods?

When Xio was still confused, a neat, melodious chanting began to sound.

"Along the shore, cutting through the clouds

The twin suns sink into the lake

The long shadow falls

Right there, the wonderful night when the black star rises

The wonderful moon that moves in the night

Yellow rags swaying in the wind

The song disappeared silently there

When the soul no longer sings

When the tears no longer flow

Lord of the Starry Sea in the Distant Starry Sky

Chaos, formless, nameless beings

He will arrive in the expectation of thousands of believers! "

This is the most important prayer psalm of the Yellow Clothes Church. Xio has seen it in the intelligence information provided by MI, but this is the first time for him to be there and experience such pious prayers in person.

She could clearly feel that her heart was touched, and she couldn't help but want to join in the ceremony of singing and praying psalms.

In the end, she covered her mouth tightly with her right hand to prevent herself from humming along.

When her mind was fluctuating, she suddenly found that she could no longer integrate into the feeling just now. The so-called starlight in front of her was so brilliant that it dissipated into nothing at this moment.

What was revealed in front of him at this moment was just a calm lake without waves. The starry sky reflected in the center of the lake was still beautiful, but it no longer had the mysterious and strange feeling just now.

As for those believers who devoutly believe in the King in Yellow, they are still immersed in their own world of belief, and the blessings from the gods seem to nourish their bodies and souls.

Each of them had a calm and peaceful look on their face, with a gentle smile on their lips.
