Mystery: The Return of the Stars

Are you born to be so good at showing yourself to others?

Hastur really wanted to slap Earl Richard again, but after looking at Earl Richard's gradually red and swollen cheeks, he gave up the idea.

Is this the end?

Maric was a little confused. He always felt that this matter went too smoothly tonight, and he didn't even take any action!

So he took action and knocked out the group of believers, without causing any harm to the spiritual creature.

The spirit world creature suddenly disappeared and was isolated again by the barrier between the real world and the spirit world.

When it was about to return, Hastur smashed the crystal ball with a stick, destroying the coordinates.

When the backhand it left on Count Richard came into play, Count Richard used his own will to wipe out its clone and end everything completely.

Hastur and Earl Richard both played important roles in this battle, but he was the only one who did not have any dazzling performance.

He is obviously the highest ranked and most powerful Beyonder among the three.

"Generally, how should we deal with this kind of situation?" Hastur looked at Maric and asked for his opinion.

"Send it to the church for purification or purify it with flames on the spot."

Maric slowly approached Earl Richard, his eyes unkind.

The matter was resolved so quickly tonight, which makes people wonder whether the spiritual creature still has something left in Count Richard's body.

"What do you want to do?"

Earl Richard subconsciously took a few steps back, then covered his sore and swollen cheek, and said angrily: "I have not been contaminated!"

Maric curled his lips disdainfully and said, "Oh, is pollution that can be detected by you still called pollution?"

Facing Maric's pressing steps, Earl Richard was a little scared, but he still said firmly: "I am a noble, you can't treat me like this!"

"You held a ceremony late at night with the intention of bringing evil existence to the world. This crime alone can make you stay in the church dungeon for the rest of your life."

"It is the toad who is evil, not my Lord!"

"Who knows."

Earl Richard couldn't defeat Maric, and he was also afraid of Maric's werewolf state at the moment, so he thought of asking Hastur for help.

"Don't scare him first. Let him clear the memories of these believers tonight so that they will not be easily contaminated when they think about it in the future."

Hastur, who was gradually recovering from his weak state, prevented Maric from taking action at this time.

As a psychic, Earl Richard is very good at clearing memories.

He also knew that he was the cause of this disaster, so he worked extra hard.

After all the believers had their memories of tonight wiped out, Marichi woke them up from their coma.

Earl Richard stood up and said a few words, announcing that tonight's blessing was over, and asked them to go to the Orthodox Church to pray sincerely after returning.

After everything was over, Hastur and Malic discussed how to deal with Earl Richard in front of them.

Judging from Earl Richard's performance, he should not be contaminated or parasitized now, but it is difficult to draw a complete conclusion on this matter.

Maybe after going back tonight, when Earl Richard dreams, he will still dream about his so-called master, and that spiritual creature can still affect him through the spiritual world.

The best way is to directly humanely destroy Earl Richard and cut off all possibilities.

But he was an earl after all, and they didn't want to be accused of killing an earl.

It is better to take a gentler approach and let him go to the bishops of the Zhengshen Church for purification.

As long as a small donation is made, they are happy to perform purifications for believers.

Earl Richard listened silently, and finally said that he would definitely comply with the instructions after returning.

"How did a Earl like you get to this point?" Hastur was very interested in Earl Richard's extraordinary story.

"This starts from fifteen years ago."

Earl Richard sighed and told the story of his journey into the extraordinary world.

Fifteen years ago, Earl Richard was a handsome young man in his early twenties. Although he knew that extraordinary people existed, he did not think about pursuing them.

Until he kindly helped an old man. Before the old man died, he asked him to help with the burial and arrange all the funeral arrangements.

In order to repay his great kindness, the old man gave him a booklet, which contained three potion recipes, what to pay attention to in each sequence, and a lot of extraordinary knowledge.

He couldn't hold back his curiosity, so he prepared the magic potion and successfully became an extraordinary person, a sequence 9 corpse collector.

According to the booklet, if you want to advance to a higher order, you must learn to be a real corpse collector.

He doesn't know much about these mystical knowledge, and as a noble, it's hard for him to be a taboo corpse collector.

Only when he came to live in a suburban manor would he go to nearby villages and occasionally try to collect corpses.

It took him about eight years to experience the wonderful feeling recorded in the booklet, so he took the magic potion and became a Sequence 8 gravedigger.

It was not until last year that he became a Sequence 7 psychic.

It was when he became a psychic that he heard the voice of the Lord.

Following the Lord's guidance, he summoned the Lord's messenger, the toad creature from the spiritual world, through a ritual.

Then we developed new believers step by step until now.

Regarding the ceremony, this is already the third large-scale ceremony he has held.

There were no abnormalities in the previous two ceremonies, and he and the believers could indeed feel the blessing from the Lord.

It was a very warm feeling. After each blessing, he would be full of energy and vitality, and some minor illnesses could be cured.

Because of this, he would firmly believe in the Lord.

"Have you ever thought that the Lord who guided you at the beginning was the toad messenger?" Maric couldn't help asking.

"Impossible!"

Count Richard answered very confidently, disdainfully: "How could such an ugly creature be the Lord! It must have wanted to steal the Lord's position while the Lord was not paying attention!"

"Not only did it want to disguise itself as the Lord, it even pretended to be the Lord's voice! If I catch it, I will definitely skin it and roast it on the grill!"

Hasta narrowed his eyes. Grilled bullfrogs, sprinkled with a lot of seasonings, are absolutely delicious.

Maric looked at Count Richard as if he was a madman: "Do you know what kind of existence spiritual creatures are?"

"Aren't spiritual creatures also living things? Can't they be killed?"

"..."

It was difficult for Maric to talk to this earl who lacked knowledge of mysticism.

"Thank you both for your help tonight, which has saved my Lord's divine power from being desecrated. I am willing to pay a thank you gift within my ability."

Before leaving, Earl Richard mentioned the thank you gift, and Hasta and Maric looked at him with a much kinder look.

A good noble is one who knows how to repay a favor.

Earl Richard paused and said awkwardly: "My understanding of the extraordinary world is limited, and there is nothing special, only some gold pounds and a little land."

"I know these things are tacky, but they are the best thank you gift I can give at the moment."

Some gold pounds? A little land?

This is a new way to show off wealth.

Hasta sighed in his heart. He likes these tacky things now. If Earl Richard really gave him a seal, he would not dare to use it.

Maric had the same feeling as Hasta. He coughed twice and said, "We believe in the sincerity and generosity of a noble."

"Is a thank-you gift of 1,000 gold pounds okay?"

Earl Richard looked uneasy, thinking that this thank-you gift was too cheap compared to his status as an earl.

But he has spent a lot of money recently, and he has not managed the plantation much, so the income is much less than in previous years. He is not good at investment, and he does not have much cash available at present.

1,000 gold pounds, that is 500 gold pounds per person, which is also a considerable fortune.

Neither Hasta nor Maric refused the thank-you gift that was delivered to their door.

Until Earl Richard said it was 1,000 gold pounds per person, they sighed that he was worthy of being an earl, that is, he was rich.

Earl Richard must not have brought so much money with him, so he asked Hasta and the others to follow him to the manor as guests and presented the thank-you gift at the same time.

Hasta did not agree to the guest thing. He asked Maric to accompany Earl Richard back to the manor to get the money, and told Maric to be careful.

His spiritual power was basically exhausted tonight, so he dared not take any more risks.

After seeing off Maric and Earl Richard, Hasta also prepared to return to the lake, resting while waiting for good news from Maric.

Carrying a big wooden stick, he returned to the lake along the original path. Not long after he sat down to rest, he heard a voice coming into his ears.

"If there is such a thing again in the future, you can call me."

"Miss Sharon, have you been nearby tonight?"

"Yes."

Under the hazy moonlight, Sharon lightly fell from the top of the tree opposite Hasta, separated from him by a bonfire.

Even in such a dense forest, there was no grass or branches on her body, clean and spotless.

"Okay, if I encounter such dangerous things again in the future, I will definitely inform Miss Sharon in advance."

"No, I'm talking about the opportunity to earn 1,000 gold pounds."

"..."

Hasta put away his gratitude and his eyes became complicated. It turned out that Miss Sharon was also very poor.

Sharon did not speak, but just looked at Hasta quietly, and then moved his eyes to the campfire.

In the light of the fire, her face seemed a little red?

Hasta wiped his eyes gently and looked again, only to see a calm face without any waves.

Was the scene just now an illusion?

"Has Miss Sharon has been supporting us in the dark tonight?" Hasta changed the subject.

"At first, she was, and then she met an extraordinary person with bad intentions."

There are actually other people peeping in the dark!

Hasta frowned and asked, "Does Miss Sharon know the identity of that extraordinary person?"

"He didn't conflict with me, but just confronted me from a distance. He didn't leave until you dealt with the spiritual creature."

Sharon thought for a moment, and then said calmly, "He should be a secret praying person, and he might be a member of the Aurora Society."

Aurora Society?

Could it really be Mr. A? !

Hasta's heart trembled, and he felt a cold sweat on his back.

Why did Mr. A appear here?

Did he come here specifically for him?

Or was this ceremony related to the Aurora Society?

Many small question marks popped up in Hasta's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he felt.

If Miss Sharon didn't show up tonight, would Mr. A attack him?
