Mystery: The Return of the Stars

A blazing bonfire was lit, and more than thirty people gathered in a circle to make their humble wishes to the Lord they believed in devoutly.

In the first link, Hasta and Maric did not stop them. What we really need to pay attention to is the second link and the final link.

Tonight is the final ceremony. In addition to the three usual links, there is an extra link, blessing.

Every believer can be blessed by the Lord they believe in in turn. Only through blessing can the thirteen-night ceremony be considered complete.

After the first link, it was still Earl Richard who was in charge of the second link.

This time, Hastur focused his observation on the crystal ball that was said to be able to communicate between reality and the world of the dead.

Earl Richard himself said that he obtained the crystal ball under the guidance of the Lord, and thus began planning the thirteen-night blessing ceremony.

In occultism, crystal balls are often used as a medium to communicate and link two different worlds.

It can also enhance the user's insufficient spirituality in a certain aspect. For example, those diviners who are not good enough will need to rely on some external aids to successfully complete their divination.

If something unexpected happens later, just smashing the crystal ball may interrupt the process of the ceremony.

Every movement of Earl Richard was the same as last night. There was no other special behavior. The giant toad-shaped spiritual creature appeared again. As the brass whistle blew, the messengers from the spiritual world lowered the surrounding temperature. several degrees.

Every time he saw this scene, Hasta couldn't hold himself tight.

I thought that these messengers from the spirit world were too unlucky. They had to be woken up every night. After waking up, there was no letter for them to deliver, so they could only wait for the ceremony to end.

As Earl Richard finished the ceremony, it was time for the third dance ritual. This time Hastur made excuses not to participate, but instead kept a vigilant eye on the surroundings to prevent unexpected changes.

Everything is business as usual, and there is no problem in the third link.

Earl Richard stood in front of everyone with an excited face and said with excitement: "We are all believers of the Lord. We have given our most devout faith to the Lord. Now the Lord will respond to us and give us the gift of facing the future." The blessing of life.”

“The Lord loves the world, and everyone loves the Lord!”

Earl Richard shouted passionate slogans, causing the believers present to go crazy. They all shouted the words "The Lord loves the world, and everyone loves the Lord."

"What a talent. He can apply what he has learned so quickly." Hasta praised in his heart.

As the atmosphere reached its climax, Earl Richard, the organizer of the ceremony, decided to accept the blessing from the Lord alone.

Let all believers who follow the Lord witness what a true miracle is.

Hastur had already grasped the big wooden stick with both hands and silently approached Earl Richard. Maric was also staring at the spiritual creature.

When Earl Richard stood in the center, he opened his hands, closed his eyes, and faced the spiritual creatures with an open arms posture.

Other believers formed a circle on the outside, stretched out their hands and spread them out, palms facing up, closed their eyes, and chanted words such as "the souls of the dead rest in peace, enjoy the blessings in the next life, and the living move forward".

At this time, the spiritual world creatures that had been silent finally made some moves.

It moved its huge body, opened its mouth, revealing a toothless mouth, and slowly moved towards Earl Richard's head.

Earl Richard seemed to have noticed something was wrong. He hadn't received the blessing yet, but he felt his scalp was itchy and his whole body was cold?

He quietly opened a corner of his eyes, glanced at it, and saw that the big mouth seemed to be eating his head. He subconsciously took two steps back and looked at the spiritual creature with a look of horror on his face.

"Pious believer, it's time for you to dedicate your life to the Lord."

A familiar voice appeared in Earl Richard's mind, it was the voice of the Lord in the dream!

Earl Richard was shocked and said: "My Lord, why are you a big toad?"

The Lord in the dream was dressed in a gray robe, with thousands of dead souls engraved on the robe. His face was covered with a layer of mist, making it impossible to see his true face. His arms were slender, and he held a Judgment of Death in his right hand. Ling's sword, holding a blue crystal ball in his left hand.

Thousands of dead souls sang to Him, praising His mercy and majesty.

The Yin River flowing through the entire world of the dead lay at His feet.

He likes Dundun to teach every devout believer. Under his majestic appearance, there is a kind heart that leads the believers forward.

His image is tall and mighty, definitely not the toad in front of you!

This is just His messenger, a messenger who travels between two realms and delivers messages.

It is definitely not the real Lord!

It must be trying to steal the Lord's position!

Snapped!

A dull sound broke through the air overhead.

Earl Richard stared blankly as a large wooden stick swept over his head and hit his master's big head.

His head was smashed!

"What are you still doing? Take the people here away quickly!"

Hastur pulled the confused Earl Richard and retreated with him.

That stick just now, he did hit the head of the spiritual world creature, but it seemed to hit a cloud and mist, and there was no force.

The smashed head also dispersed and reunited like clouds, becoming whole again.

It is a spirit, an ethereal spirit that travels between two realms, a creature that does not yet have a real body.

Physical damage has no effect on him.

This is also the reason why Maric's attack against him doesn't work.

The food that was about to enter his mouth was taken away, and the big toad was enraged.

Layers of black mist spread out from all parts of the body, and the surrounding temperature dropped again, even the ground was covered with a layer of light white frost.

This is a manifestation of mastering the power of the negative.

"It can't cross the border now, take this opportunity to destroy the ceremony!"

Marichi made a clear judgment, Hastur had already hit the crystal ball in the center of the ceremony with a stick.

The rolling black mist turned into a black wall, blocking the front of the crystal ball. It also knew the importance of the crystal ball.

At the same time, the black mist that continued to spread spread in all directions. Soon, those believers who still didn't know what was happening were soaked in the black mist, their eyes were instantly dull, and their bodies were swaying, like zombies.

Zombie?

Marichi knew very well how to deal with this kind of situation. He turned into a werewolf, and he was very fast. He shuttled back and forth in the crowd, knocking them out with one claw each.

Even if the believers were not affected by the black mist, Maric knocked them out to prevent them from making trouble later.

Seeing this, Hastur channeled his spirituality and whispered in his heart: "Spiritual creatures are forbidden to exist here!"

A golden light seemed to flow from his spine, and the rules took effect immediately.

The void seemed to ripple, turning into a lake, swallowing the big toad with black fog in one gulp.

The black fog dissipated, and the bonfire that was about to go out was ignited again, making a crackling sound, and everything seemed to return to its original state.

Snap!

Hastur slapped the still stupid Earl Richard, waking him up completely.

"You believed in the wrong Lord!"

"No, the Lord is not wrong, the wrong thing is that dirty toad who dared to steal the Lord's position!"

After Earl Richard regained consciousness, he was full of uncontrollable anger.

Especially at this time, the familiar voice of the Lord came from his mind.

He let himself be a bridge to communicate with the spirit world and guide His true return.

Count Richard chuckled at this. The real Lord is the Lord of the Dead, the Lord who controls darkness. He is omnipotent, so why does he need to lead Him back?

Fake is fake!

Where is the god asking for help from believers? This must be the evil toad tempting him!

Its existence insults the Lord's majesty!

At this time, Maric noticed that the fluctuations from the spirit world were approaching here, and he asked Hasta to stay away from the current location.

Hasta did not leave, but stepped forward a few steps, smashed the unprotected crystal ball with a stick, and swept away the three candles at the same time.

The fluctuations from the spirit world weakened instantly.

Is it over?

Maric carefully sensed it and scanned the surroundings several times to confirm that there was no other abnormality.

But the temperature here was still so cold, and it did not return to normal at all.

He quickly turned on the spiritual vision and scanned the surroundings again.

I saw that Earl Richard was gradually changing. Behind him, the toad-like spirit creature was lying on his back with its limbs, and its huge belly was bulging, as if it was brewing something.

This should be the back-up plan left by the spirit creature on Earl Richard.

"Open the spiritual vision! It's on Earl Richard!"

Hasta opened the spiritual vision as he said, and slapped Earl Richard again, saying in a deep voice: "If you don't want to die, stick to your reason!"

Earl Richard also heard Maric's shouting. After being slapped by Hasta, he took a few deep breaths and suppressed his anger.

Although he was not proficient in mystical knowledge, he also knew that this kind of evil creature liked to feed on people's negative emotions to accelerate their growth.

His anger just now was the nutrient it needed most.

"Your existence has defiled the Lord, and I will sentence death on behalf of the Lord!"

Earl Richard's voice was very cold, his expression was stern, and he slowly closed his eyes.

He is also an extraordinary person. Although he has basically never fought with anyone, he is still very clear about the abilities of his sequence.

Psychics can not only help people communicate with the dead, but also subdue disobedient dead spirits and make judgments on them, which is also part of their abilities.

"The damage to the spiritual creatures here will be doubled!"

When Earl Richard was fighting against the spiritual creature, Hastur silently formulated a second rule.

The two rules took effect at the same time. He clearly felt that his spiritual power was almost emptied. He staggered and almost fell.

Fortunately, the effect was very significant. With his help, Earl Richard relied on his extraordinary ability to burst the stomach of the spiritual creature and completely destroyed its clone.

"This is the fate of the blasphemer!"

Earl Richard straightened his back and looked disdainful and contemptuous.
