Mystery: The Stars Returner

The starry sky, filled with bright stars falling down from there, is the most beautiful scenery at night.

Audrey also dreamed of one day being able to climb up to the stars to see the beauty and magic of the stars, to stand on the stars, overlook the world, and see how it would look different.

But in the Tarot meeting, Mr. Fool once said personally that the starry sky is an absolutely dangerous place, and unspeakable terror lurks there.

Even a being like Mr. Fool is so solemn, which shows how terrifying the starry sky is.

"Although I really want to dissuade you from venturing into the stars, I also know that you have your own reasons for going to the stars." Audrey hesitated for a long time before slowly saying: "Go, I believe you will return to me safely. , Miss Sharon definitely doesn’t want to be a burden that makes you worried and concerned.”

Hasta just nodded. He had already made his choice in his heart, and speaking out now was just to reassure Audrey and Sharon.

He also thought about whether to send Sharon and Audrey to the Hall of Stars together and let them follow him to the starry sky, but in the end he gave up this idea.

Only by setting off alone can he have no worries.

"Is it difficult for high-sequence extraordinary people to give birth to the next generation?" Audrey pressed her cheek against Hastur's chest and suddenly asked.

"That's true."

"I am still a Sequence 5 Dream Walker, so I shouldn't be considered a high-Sequence Extraordinary, right?"

Hearing Audrey say such words, Hasta lowered his eyes slightly, raised the corners of his mouth and said, "It doesn't count, but you still need to work hard to get results."

……

In the few days before Sharon came back, Hastur took Audrey, Azshara, and Susie out for fun every day, and visited many beautiful scenery in the Southern Continent.

When Sharon returned, Hastur took her to the Forsaken Land.

Sharon is now a Sequence 4 puppet, and is only one copy of the Silent Disciple's extraordinary characteristics before being promoted to Sequence 3.

Zaratul has a marionette, the Sequence 3 Silent Disciple, who is currently following him in the God-Forsaken Land to search for the extraordinary characteristics of the Mysterious Attendant.

The land abandoned by the gods, since Silver City moved away from here, the area near the Giant King's Court has seemed particularly quiet.

When Hastur and Sharon were crossing the Sea of ​​Chaos, God looked at each other from afar below, but did not come out to meet, and just watched Hastur leave.

Zaratul's traces are very secretive, but it is not difficult to find him.

Hastur and Sharon rested in Silver City while waiting for Zaratul's arrival.

"Is this the hometown of those giants on the Rhoside Islands?" Sharon was very interested in everything about Silver City.

"They have already left here as a whole family, leaving this land that is not protected by the gods."

"There is indeed a lot of danger here. They are indeed a great ethnic group that can persist for so long."

"They still have some books that have not been completely removed. Go and have a look. I believe it will be of great benefit to you."

Hastur asked Sharon to look through the collection of books in Silver City, and he came to the three statues in the central area of ​​Silver City.

Among them, the statue of God was built by the residents of Silver City who later returned.

When Hastur was admiring his statue here, Zarath appeared in front of him.

Rather than bothering to find traces of Zaratul, Hastur thought it would be better to let Zaratul come to him.

"Are you a star?" Zaratul said with some uncertainty.

He had seen Hastur's portrait, but when he actually faced it, it was difficult for him to connect the person in front of him with the stars high above.

The gap between the two is really too big.

"Do you know what I'm thinking about right now?"

Hastur's face was smiling, but Zaratul felt a shuddering aura, even though he came to Silver City only as a clone.

"I'm thinking whether to bury you directly in the land abandoned by the gods, or whether to give you a chance to continue living."

Zaratul laughed at himself: "I have never understood why the stars are hostile to me. Is it because of the prophecy I made for the Loen royal family?"

"That's just a small part of it."

"This time the stars entered the land abandoned by the gods, did they come specifically for me?"

"No."

Hastur's attitude made Zaratul a little confused, but he did not choose to avoid it. If the stars were really determined to deal with him, he would have nowhere to escape.

The stars watch everything.

Even though he was in a place abandoned by gods, he could still feel the gaze from the stars scanning over him from time to time.

"Who are the stars coming for?" Zaratul did not dare to call God by his name, for fear of attracting Him.

"Do you want to listen to the conversation between me and God?" Hasta had a playful smile on his face.

"I don't dare and I don't want to." Zaratul directly rejected this wonderful-sounding proposal.

He is not even Sequence 0, and he does not dare to pry into the secrets of that level in the past.

"You go."

Hastur issued an order to expel guests, which was even more confusing to Zaratul.

He couldn't help but ask: "Does this mean there is no longer any grudge between the stars and me?"

"You are not worthy of my enmity."

"I'm just worried about my future."

"Don't offend me. I don't have that much time to waste on you."

Zaratul did not dare to say anything more. When his clone returned to his own body, he realized that he had a Secret Puppet Sequence 3 Silent Disciple who suddenly lost his trace.

Is this a lesson from the stars?

This made Zaratul truly relieved, which proved that the stars were no longer interested in dealing with him.

After letting the Star Vessel take away the extraordinary characteristics of the Silent Disciple, Hastur returned to the library in Silver City and stayed with Sharon for a few more days before sending her back to the Southern Continent.

He stayed in the place abandoned by God and continued to stay in Silver City.

Before leaving the real world and going to the stars, he needs to make some preparations to prevent accidents.

God is inherently on the side of Adam and the true Creator.

It was myself who awakened His scattered consciousness from the sea of ​​chaos, which was a great kindness.

He allowed Silver City to leave the land abandoned by God, but then asked Silver City to worship Him. This was not repaying a favor.

Although it sounds childish and naive to express gratitude to these beings, sometimes they also need to protect their own image, unless the relevant benefits are too great.

"The stars are really in such a good mood that they specially come to the land abandoned by the gods for the sake of their women."

God's slightly teasing voice came from behind. Hastur did not look back, but said calmly: "You are also very interested. You have been hiding below to peek."

"I can't help it. It's too boring here and there are too few new things."

"There is a big world out there, you can go out and have a look."

"Alas, I can't leave the Sea of ​​Chaos now."

"That's a good reason."

God smiled and followed Hastur's gaze to the three statues built by the residents of Silver City in front of him. He took a serious look at them and said, "Not bad. They are as powerful as me."

"The djinn is quite smart." Hastur also had a slight smile on his face.

He could really see the performance of the Djinn God through the Hall of Stars. He looked annoyed and regretful, tsk.

"I think so too." God smiled: "Some seemingly ordinary things can determine the future direction."

"Oh, did you see the future?"

"Didn't you see the stars too?"

Hastur and God looked at each other, then looked away knowingly.

What kind of future we see depends on our respective positions.

"If such a future happens, will it be in line with the trend of the times?" Hastur pointed at Adam specifically.

"The tide of the times depends on a capable person. He is, at most, just an occasional wave."

A meaningful smile appeared on God's face: "When the waves jump high, they will think that they have seen the flow of the entire river."

"What a philosophical statement."

"Don't the stars think so?"

“Does my attitude matter?”

"of course."

"I don't feel much about the waves, but I feel a lot about the fireworks. They are extremely gorgeous for a moment, and then there is eternal silence."

"It's a good feeling."

……

Sharon, who returned to the Southern Continent early, saw Hastur again a few days later.

She temporarily put aside the Temperance Party matters and went to the Republic of Intis with Hastur.

Audrey has not been interested in reading lately. While Hastur and Sharon were out, the Dream Walker potion in her body was completely digested. She only needed to take the potion to be promoted to a Sequence 4 Operator.

"Later." Audrey whispered, and then shouted to Susie: "Susie, hold the door!"

"Wang!"

Audrey lay on the bed and followed Mr. Fool's call to attend this Tarot meeting.
