Mystery: The Stars Returner

"I want to go out and play today, not stay at home."

"No, we all have to work today and we don't have time to accompany you. In order not to distract us, you have to stay at home today."

"But today is the only time I really want to go out and play."

"Then you can only go and play at Mrs. Brin's house next door. We will tell her in advance and let her take good care of you."

"Can I go somewhere farther away to play?"

"No, Will, you are not young anymore. Don't be so willful all the time. We will take you out to play on Sunday this week. Don't you always like to eat ice cream?"

"……All right."

In the end, the little boy Will couldn't convince his parents, so he reluctantly agreed to play at Mrs. Breen's house next door.

Before going out, he took his tarot cards and put them in his pocket. After watching his parents leave, he put on his shoes and went to the neighbor's house next door.

Boom boom boom!

After knocking on the door for a while, his neighbor Mrs. Breen opened the door and welcomed him with a smile on her face.

Mrs. Breen is at home full time and has no children at home. Every time he comes, Mrs. Breen always makes Mrs. Breen happy for a long time.

"Mrs. Breen, I'm going to bother you again today."

"Your presence always makes me happy and this is the best gift I received today."

"Thank you for your compliment."

The little boy Will politely thanked him, then walked into the door and closed the door smoothly.

After entering the door, Will sat quietly next to the sofa and played with the tarot cards he carried with him.

After playing for a while, he looked out the window and held his chin with one hand in a daze.

"Little Will, what are you thinking about?"

Mrs. Breen came over with a plate of fruit, bent down, and placed the plate of fruit on the table in front of Will.

Will bit his lower lip slightly and thought for a moment: "What method does Mrs. Breen usually use when she doesn't want to see someone?"

"Just close the door and don't let him in."

"But isn't that impolite?"

"Then when he comes to visit, you can go out to play in advance, or go to other people's homes, as long as you avoid seeing him."

"What if I can't escape?"

"Then politely invite him to have a cup of tea and send him off politely after finishing the tea."

"What if he stays and refuses to leave?"

Mrs. Breen laughed, walked to Will, stretched out her hand to stroke his head, and joked: "Is there anyone you don't want to see, little Will?"

"It's not that I don't want to meet, I just think it's not good to meet too early."

Will tilted his head slightly, showing a troubled expression.

"Who makes you so distressed?"

"A very troublesome man."

"It's troublesome, then don't see him. It's better to live a happy life."

Will raised his head, his eyes were clear, and he smiled sweetly: "I think so too."

Mrs. Breen touched Will's head again and said with a smile: "I'm going to prepare some desserts for you. I just learned two desserts recently, just in time to make them for our little Will to try."

The smile disappeared from Will's face and his mouth tightened, but he still said happily: "Thank you, Mrs. Brin."

He likes desserts very much and will not refuse them as long as they are not too hard to swallow.

Mrs. Breen's cooking skills are very good, and the dishes she makes are delicious. The only pity is that she has never had any talent in making desserts.

Although it's not hard to swallow, it's not that delicious either.

"Oh, I just said I need to hide somewhere further away."

Will sighed, picked up an apple and ate it.

He was going to eat more fruit so that he would have an excuse to eat less dessert later.

Alas, the ice cream is still delicious.

Ice cold, sweet, and there are many flavors to choose from.

The only downside is that it's a bit pricey.

His parents usually only take him out to play on Sundays, and then they buy him ice cream to try.

You may not be able to eat it every week.

"Ugh."

Will sighed, thinking that his next reincarnation would be in a better-off family, where he could at least have ice cream at any time.

Near noon, Mrs. Breen prepared three courses and two desserts.

She thoughtfully placed both desserts in front of Will, and said that these two desserts were for him and no one would compete with him.

Will naturally smiled and thanked him, then dug out spoonfuls of desserts.

It's either too sweet or tasteless.

At around six o'clock in the evening, there was a knock on the door, and Will's parents came to pick him up.

When they returned home, they discovered that someone had given them a gift, which was ice cream.

It must have been delivered not long ago, otherwise the ice cream would have melted.

Will frowned and looked at the three ice creams that were extremely well packaged and thoughtfully mixed with ice cubes to keep them cold.

"Will, don't you like ice cream the most?"

"I just had it at Mrs. Breen's, and I don't really want to eat it now."

"That's a pity. These three ice creams look very expensive. I don't know who sent them."

"..."

Will looked up and looked at three ice creams of different colors. One was sprinkled with chocolate chips, one was sprinkled with peanut chips, and one was decorated with a big strawberry. They all looked delicious.

"I'll just eat a little more."

"It's all for you, as long as Will is happy."

Alas, tasting ice cream is naturally a joyful thing, but fate is always fair.

Free things are often the most expensive.

……

at night.

Hastur was lying on the bed to rest. He deliberately did not enter the Hall of Stars tonight.

He was waiting for someone, to be precise, he was waiting for a little snake, the snake of fate.

Around twelve o'clock, Hastur's dream began to change.

The fog covered and rolled, and a giant snake seemed to be writhing in the sea of ​​clouds.

Hastur's arrival did not disturb the giant snake's elegance, but when he was about to step forward to say hello, a voice rang out.

"The ice cream tastes good, please remember to give me some other flavors next time."

Before Hastur could ask anything, the giant snake disappeared, and then the misty dream world began to collapse.

Hastur woke up from his dream and came to the palace of stars,

He tapped his fingers on the table and said with a smile: "I like to eat ice cream, but I have always avoided seeing Him. No wonder I couldn't see Him as I wished today."

"Even in a dream, block the questions you want to ask one step ahead of time."

"This kind of performance proves that He is not completely ignorant of his own affairs. It is possible that He knows too much and does not want to communicate with Him."

He was not frustrated by Will's polite refusal. He was just giving it a try. It would be best to ask him in person. If not, he could confirm his suspicions.

Judging from Will's performance, the Extraordinary person who secretly covets his destiny path is probably not from his lineage.

Then it should come from another mercury snake.

Perhaps it was because Ourolius kept staring at him that Will didn't want to meet him.

In order to prevent his own destiny from fluctuating and allowing Him to be found by Ourolius.

Mr. A, Ourolius... I really have a destiny with the true Creator.

It seems that when the original owner held the resurrection ceremony, he indeed prayed to the True Creator, and the True Creator also responded.

When you think about it this way, don’t you become the favored one of the true Creator?

Then Mr. A's strange behavior of always trying to get himself to join the Aurora Society can also be explained.

He probably felt the aura of the True Creator in himself, so he considered himself a favored one who had received the gift of the True Creator.

As for Ourolius, it may be that the Beyonders under him were selfishly eyeing the golden box and had nothing to do with Ourolius.

After all, he is the Sequence 1 mercury snake, the angel of destiny who sat down on the ancient sun god.

A favored person who has been gifted by the true Creator is not enough to be taken seriously by Him, let alone observed in secret.

Hastur carefully organized his thoughts and speculated on various possibilities.

Finally, I agreed with my guess that Mr. A was so kind to him because of the true Creator’s gift to him.

The Dark Path of Destiny for Extraordinary People has nothing to do with Ourolius.

This can also explain Will's behavior of not refusing to give him ice cream.

If Ourolius is really watching him secretly, then giving ice cream to Will is an extremely dangerous thing.

Will did not refuse, which proved that Ourolius was not paying attention to what was going on here.

After solving a troublesome matter, Hastur once again looked at the star where the djinn was.

He was going to take a peek at the fate of himself and Bernadette to see if she could become an apostle of the stars.

Closing his eyes, a scene slowly emerged in the dark world.

A starry sky was filled with starlight. Under the gaze of the stars, Bernadette was concentrating on praying. A little further away, a cage trapped a twisted and blurred wishing lamp.

The name of the greedy snake is: Will Asceptin

I've always wanted to change it, but I just can't seem to make it...
