Mystery: The Return of the Stars

Wednesday, June 27.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Hasta stayed in the study room and had not fallen asleep yet, nor did he open the window.

It was windy and rainy tonight, and there was a sound of raindrops hitting the window outside.

The sound of rain can always calm people's irritable mood. Rainy days are the best time to read.

Reading at this time has a multiplier effect, because people's thoughts can easily enter the world in the book.

"The old professor who wrote this giant language is really amazing. Although he has never seen a giant in his life, let alone talked to a giant, he can rely on scattered knowledge to organize it into a general framework structure of giant language, making it easier for later generations to learn giant language."

Hasta sighed and slowly turned another page.

Bang, bang, bang!

The sudden sound made Hasta alert instantly. He closed the book, picked up the sword in the staff beside him, and stared at the window.

Mr. A came to visit the window again?

After listening carefully for a while, I found that the sound did not come from outside the window, but from the knocking sound of the door downstairs.

Mr. A will come to visit through the front door now?

Hasta put the sword in the cane back into the cane, tightened it, thought about it, and decided to go downstairs to take a look.

He left the study with the cane in his hand, and just as he walked down the stairs, he saw Maric staggering from the gate with torn clothes and blood all over his body.

Something happened!

Hasta hurried forward and supported Maric, who was already seriously injured.

"What happened?"

"We were discovered by them! Hurry up and help Sharon! She is at the junction of the North District and the East District!"

Maric spoke very quickly, and his expression was even more excited, not caring about his serious injury at all.

"You rest here first, I will go to help Sharon."

Hasta asked Maric to calm down, and then asked Butler Neil who was standing by to take care of Maric, and asked him to invite a doctor to treat Maric's injuries. .

After arranging everything, Hasta got on the carriage and asked the coachman to rush to the place Maric said in the heavy rain.

Maric looked at the direction Hastur left, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He couldn't help but think of what happened tonight.

After Baranca, known as the Curse King, used his extraordinary ability to conduct a large-scale search tonight, none of the extraordinary people in the alien path, such as him and Sharon, could escape the search.

Soon, a Sequence 4 demigod noticed their group of trapped fish.

In order to cover the others to leave first, he and Sharon stayed behind to cover the others. He was not strong enough and was soon seriously injured.

"I'll stop him, you leave here quickly."

"You are not his opponent alone, I'll help you!"

"You are already seriously injured, staying here will only drag me down."

"I, I..."

"Leave quickly, maybe you can ask Hastur for help."

"Okay! You must hold on!"

Thinking of what just happened, Maric's heart was trembling.

It was hard for him to imagine how Sharon could escape from the siege of a Sequence 4 and two Sequence 6.

So he placed his last bet on Hastur.

As he got to know Hastur better, he felt that Hastur was not simple, and maybe he could really rescue Sharon.

On the carriage.

Hastur took advantage of the moment when the carriage arrived at Sharon's location to think about how he could help Sharon.

The opponent was a Sequence 4 demigod, and in a head-on confrontation, the role he could play was similar to that of Maric.

One more person was not enough to change the situation.

If he wanted to help Sharon, he needed to find a way to invite outside help.

The Church of the Seven Gods was the best choice.

Just before arriving at Sharon's location, he would pass by the Holy Wind Church, and then he could turn to the Holy Wind Church first, and then help Sharon.

However, what reason should he use to invite the extraordinary people of the Holy Wind Church?

How could he distance himself from this matter as much as possible afterwards?

And how could he ensure that the extraordinary people of the Holy Wind Church would not attack Sharon?

Time passed quickly as he was thinking, and the coachman dutifully drove the carriage to the outside of the Holy Wind Church.

Hastur took the big black umbrella from the carriage, got off and walked towards the Holy Wind Church.

Walking through the muddy and flooded road, Hastur came to the gate of the Holy Wind Church, which was still brightly lit. It did not choose to close the gate because it was a rainy night.

Hastur's arrival quickly attracted the attention of the people left behind in the Holy Wind Church.

When Hastur revealed his identity, a bishop with gray hair and loose golden beard came over.

"I am seriously concerned about the security issues in Backlund."

Hastur's first words stunned the bishop. This man came to the Holy Wind Church in the middle of the night just to say this?

"My friend is being hunted down under the gaze of the storm."

Hastur's tone was gentle, but the words he said made the bishop's heart jump.

He said quickly: "These things are not within our jurisdiction, Baron Campbell, you need to seek help from the police."

"A group of dirty rats sneaked into Backlund. As apostles of the storm, shouldn't you strangle the rats and make Backlund clean again?"

"Baron Campbell, do you know what you are talking about?"

"Of course I know. People from the Rose School sneaked into Backlund secretly. They are hunting down my friends everywhere. I am not only worried about the safety of my friends, but also sad for the future of Backlund."

Before the bishop could speak, Hastur continued: "You allowed those rats to wreak havoc in Backlund. It is no longer worthy of people's hope."

The bishop's face darkened and he said solemnly: "Any words that slander the gods will be punished by the storm. Even if you are a noble, you cannot avoid it!"

Hasta sneered and said: "A friend of mine was seriously injured by people from the Rose School of Thought. He came from the East District to the West District to seek my help, but you are just waiting here. You seriously lack understanding of the situation. It is you who are here." The place of blasphemy in our hearts.”

"Who's after your friend?"

"Sequence 4, a demigod."

The bishop's expression suddenly changed. A Sequence 4 heretic was wreaking havoc everywhere in Backlund, but they were not aware of it.

This is absolutely dereliction of duty!

They betrayed the trust placed in them by the gods!

"I came here because I firmly believe that the majesty and bravery of the storm are enough to cleanse all dust."

Hastur once again expressed that he had no disrespect for the Lord of Storms.

He had thought about many plans on the carriage just now, but in the end he felt that it would be better to tell the truth directly, as it would be easier to move reinforcements from Holy Wind Church, and it would have the least impact afterwards.

As a noble, isn't it normal to meet several extraordinary people?

Although Sharon and Maric belong to the Rose School of Thought, as long as no one investigates them further, they are just like ordinary extraordinary people.

Moreover, the Rose School has been divided into two factions, and the senior leaders of the Church of the Seven Gods who truly understand these situations will not do anything to Sharon and the others.

At most, the information about Sharon and Maric is recorded in the file, and the freedom is slightly restricted. As long as they don't do evil, it doesn't matter.

Compared to Sharon's safety, this disadvantage is nothing.

Soon, the bishop hurriedly went to report, and then walked back quickly, saying that the storm would severely punish any rats who dared to wreak havoc in Backlund!

Hastur expressed his gratitude to the Lord of Storms and promised to donate 500 gold pounds.

After hearing the words of donating 500 gold pounds, the bishop's face improved significantly.

After settling these matters, Hastur returned to the carriage and headed to where Sharon might be.

The demigods from the Holy Wind Church are dispatched. As long as they block the demigod from the Rose School, Sharon will have a greater chance of escaping.

The carriage arrived near the area Maric mentioned, but no trace of Sharon was seen, and Hastur did not sense any Beyonders fighting nearby.

He thought for a moment and asked the coachman to circle back and forth around the large area nearby.

If Sharon did escape, she would most likely go into hiding.

It is difficult for him to find her, but she can easily find him.

After probably three or four large circles, Sharon's weak voice sounded in Hastur's ears.

"Turn left, you will see a candy house, then go right, there is a third alley on the left."

After hearing this, Hastur ordered the coachman to move forward.

He opened the curtain, faced to the left, turned twice, and when he reached the third alley, he asked the coachman to stop the carriage.

He got out of the car with a cane in one hand and an umbrella in the other.

It rained heavily tonight, and the rain washed away the trash cans in the alley, giving off an unpleasant and pungent smell.

Fortunately, there was rain cover, so the smell was bearable.

Hastur walked into the alley and saw Sharon at a corner ahead.

At this moment, her face was pale, her small black soft hat was blown away, her whole body was soaked by the rain, and her long pale gold hair tied in a bun was hanging down, making her even more fragile.

Hasta took two steps at a trot, using his umbrella to cover the rain falling from the sky.

"You're here." Sharon smiled reluctantly.

"Well, come on, it's not safe here."

Hastur came closer and motioned for Sharon to put her hand on his arm.

Sharon shook her head, "No need to bother."

As she spoke, she took out a palm-sized mirror and placed it in the palm of Hastur's hand, "Just protect it."

Then, in Hastur's slightly shocked eyes, the whole person melted into the mirror like a wisp of light smoke.

Sharon was in the mirror, holding the hem of her skirt with both hands, and gave a slight bow.

Even though her face turned pale and she was severely injured, there was still nothing to criticize about this etiquette.

"Don't worry, you are safe."

Hastur whispered and put the mirror into the inner pocket of his coat.

The pocket watch that was originally placed inside was taken out and hung on the handle of the umbrella.

Hasta glanced at the still rainy night sky, left along the original road, got on his horse and returned to the West District.
