Mystery: The Stars Returner

Although he has determined that Mr. A has no ill intentions towards him, he still does not want to get too close to Mr. A.

Who knows if Mr. A will suddenly go crazy, or it would be better to stay away from him.

Soon, Audrey, Gray Linte, and Xio decided to go to this extraordinary gathering, while Forsi and Hastur chose to stay at home while the other chose to keep their distance.

Audrey asked curiously: "Isn't Mr. Hastur interested in this extraordinary party?"

Xio covered her mouth and chuckled: "He is afraid that Mr. A will take notice of him."

Forsi also added: "Actually, Mr. A is a pretty good person. He has never caused any problems at so many extraordinary gatherings."

The story between two beautiful men makes people blush when thinking about it, but the excitement makes people want to stop.

Forsi's face turned red and she quickly calmed down, no longer imagining the story between Hasta and Mr. A.

Hastur just smiled and didn't explain anything.

The few of them chatted for a while. Xio glanced at Forsi, coughed slightly and said, "We recently collected two more manuscripts of Emperor Russell."

"?!"

Audrey was immediately interested.

This is something that even the mysterious Mr. Fool is interested in. They just call it the manuscript. It seems that they don't know that the so-called manuscript is the diary.

I should also collect part of Russell's diary so that I can pay off my debt to Mr. Fool.

You can also exchange some knowledge and help with Mr. Fool through Russell's diary.

Before she could ask, Hasta said with a smile: "Okay, 50 gold pounds per manuscript. The purchase price remains unchanged."

Audrey opened her eyes slightly, but she didn't expect that Mr. Hastur was also collecting Russell's diary.

How can I bid for Xio and Forsi to help me find Russell's diary?

If you offer a higher price, wouldn't it be equivalent to taking business from Mr. Hastur?

You can't do this kind of thing yourself.

But I also need Russell's diary, so I can't let this channel go to waste.

Audrey couldn't help but puff up her cheeks, but soon realized that this was very indecent.

After thinking for a while, she felt that she could discuss it with Mr. Hastur privately in the name of learning and discussion.

I don’t necessarily need the original manuscript. As long as the content above is correct, I can definitely ask for a few copies of Russell’s diary.

But Mr. Hastur offered 50 gold pounds to buy one. Is it really okay for me to take advantage of Mr. Hastur for nothing?

Mr. Hastur taught himself a lot about occult knowledge.

It’s not that I have no money, I can definitely pay a higher price to buy a few Russell’s diaries from Mr. Hastur.

For example, a ticket worth 100 gold pounds.

The price is a bit expensive, but I don’t need to buy every Russell diary.

Occasionally, you can use the method of study and discussion to get a few of Russell's diaries for free.

If it’s just a few pictures, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?

Audrey glanced at Hastur with a guilty conscience and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was completing the deal with Xio and didn't pay attention to her side.

After their transaction was completed, she smiled and said: "Mr. Hastur, I am also very interested in the manuscript left by Emperor Russell. Can I ask you for relevant knowledge in the future?"

Hastur also smiled and said: "Of course you are welcome."

The two people who achieved their respective goals had extremely bright smiles on their faces.

Gray Lint asked curiously: "Can you understand the manuscript left by Emperor Russell?"

"can't read."

Audrey and Hastur answered this question at the same time.

Hastur added: "I have always been a follower of Emperor Russell's knowledge."

"I also admire the influence that Emperor Russell has had on this era." Audrey also added.

"I always think you guys are weird."

Gray Linte murmured softly and said nothing more.

Hasta and Audrey had a tacit understanding and did not bring up this topic again, and turned to talk about other things.

Next, Hastur shared some simpler occult knowledge.

Before leaving, Audrey was not far from Hastur and said: "Mr. Hastur, I think the manuscript left by Emperor Russell looks like an entire diary torn into pages. .”

Mr. Hastur taught her a lot about occult knowledge, and she felt that she could also reveal a little bit of high-end knowledge to Mr. Hastur.

It's definitely not because he wants to show how smart he is in front of Mr. Hastur.

Hmm... I can't completely rule out this mentality... Sometimes she also wants to be the person who stands at the top of her IQ and overlooks others.

She wanted to see Mr. Hastur show such a surprised expression.

Well, let Mr. Hastur feel a little shock.

"Hey, did Miss Audrey find out too?"

Hastur's rhetorical question made Audrey's head blank for a moment.

This reaction was different from what I expected.

She forced a smile and said, "Does Mr. Hastur think so too?"

"Well, I have always had this conjecture. This is one of the results of my research on the original manuscript of Emperor Russell."

"It turns out that I accidentally discovered this secret."

"Miss Audrey is so smart."

Audrey just smiled and said nothing at this compliment.

Yes, she is so smart.

She naively thought that she could occupy the peak of IQ in front of Mr. Hastur for a while.

She didn't expect the clown to be herself.

Alas, so, it’s better not to use areas that you are not good at to win applause and flowers.

Hastur admired Audrey's little expression for a while, then continued: "Miss Audrey is so interested in Emperor Russell, does her family also collect Russell's diaries?"

"..."

Audrey was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded: "We can study and study together."

She was afraid that Hastur would suddenly propose to acquire Russell's diary in her home.

In this case, she will be very embarrassed and won't know how to reply.

"fair enough."

Hastur glanced at Audrey with a smile, feeling a little happier.

Before getting in the car, Audrey thought for a while, but still did not directly ask Hastur about his recent financial status.

He just said with a smile: "I recently have some spare money that I want to invest. Does Mr. Hasta have any better suggestions?"

"The mosquito repellent powder developed by Gray Lint tonight should be very popular, and it will be a good investment project."

"But I have a lot of spare money. I don't think I can use 20000 gold pounds for this Gray Lint business, right? I'll think about it after I go back."

Audrey showed a troubled expression, and then drove away in a carriage under Hastur's slightly shocked and envious eyes.

On the carriage, Audrey quietly waved her fist, feeling a little proud.

It turns out that Mr. Hasta's financial situation is not very good.

But soon, she felt very embarrassed, and her cheeks turned red and hot.

In order to save some of the embarrassment just now, I actually learned to make fun of Mr. Hastur's financial situation.

And he also deliberately admired Mr. Hastur’s shocked expression.

Audrey, you have changed, you wouldn’t do this before.

We need to change, we can’t act like this again in the future.

Audrey deeply reflected on what had just happened.

But after a while, she muttered: "But except for money, I can't beat Mr. Hastur in other aspects. He obviously looks about the same age as me."

……

study.

Hasta sat at the desk and read through the two newly acquired Russell diaries. After reading them, he put these two diaries together with the previous diaries and locked them in the drawer.

Now that Audrey understands the importance of Russell's diary, it's time for her to start revealing a little bit of information to Klein.

I took out a pen and paper, thought about it for a moment, and then began to imitate Russell's diary style and start writing.

"On August 12th, I attended a dinner party hosted by Viscount Reed. At the dinner, Viscount Reed drank a lot of wine and kept showing off how good he was in that field until I saw his wife following a baron. When I walked out of the back garden with a blushing face, I realized that the things people like to brag about are often things they don’t possess.”

"On August 15th, I heard something interesting from Mr. Men. It was a sealed object, an extremely magical pen. It can write scripts and make the stories in the scripts play out in reality. , isn’t this the otherworldly version of the magic pen Ma Liang!

Mr. Men also specially told me that if you often encounter coincidences, coincidences, accidents and other events in your daily life, you should be careful whether you are written into the script by that pen and become a character in someone else's story. "

"On August 19th, I took Green and Edward to enjoy the performance of the cabaret troupe. Well, it was an adult version of the cabaret show. It was very shocking."

After writing these three items, Hastur stopped writing, reviewed them carefully, and then made up two more short stories to fill the entire paper.

Then he put down his pen and admired his masterpiece.

The other four short stories are not important, only what happened on August 15th is more important.

That was the first reminder and guidance given to Klein through the character of Mr. Men.

He did not directly state that the pen was called 008, but planned to wait until a few times later to specify it.

This is also consistent with the fragmented record characteristics of Russell's diary.

As for stigmatizing Russell?

Does he still need to smear Russell's romantic behavior?
