Mystery: The Stars Returner

In front of the harbor, Hastur looked at Klein, who had obviously changed his appearance, and continued to speak seductively: "Mr. Natural Biologist, the Sea of ​​Ruins is very dangerous. If you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed. Death, the danger there is worth a thousand gold pounds."

"..."

Klein was silent for a while and said, "I don't have that much money on me right now."

"I trust your character very much. You can write an IOU first and cash it later."

It doesn't matter whether it's money or not, Hastur mainly enjoys the pleasure of earning gold pounds from Klein.

"……All right."

Klein finally agreed and even said the words "IOU". He must have known his hidden identity.

On the sea, trust is very valuable.

Now that his identity was revealed, he stopped being so coy.

After following Hastur to purchase some supplies, we boarded the Hope.

This ship can only be regarded as a medium-sized ship, one size smaller than a flagship like the Golden Dream.

On the boat, he met the blonde aristocratic girl Miss Audrey again.

Through subtle observations during the Tarot session, he was basically certain that Miss Audrey was Miss Justice.

Because Miss Justice, who originally lived in Backlund, obviously came to the sea during this period, which coincided with the trajectory of Miss Audrey.

Especially when seeing Susie, there is no suspense about Miss Justice's real identity.

When he saw Forsi and Xio, he was stunned for a moment, then secretly glanced at their heights, and then focused on Forsi as the main object of observation.

This Ms. Fors is very similar to Ms. Magic, both in body shape and personality.

It turns out that Miss Justice and Miss Magic are acquaintances in reality. No wonder the interaction between the two was a little different during the Tarot Club.

"This is a natural biologist who wants to go to sea to find mermaids, Mr. Wilson. He is also from Backlund in Loen."

Hastur gave Klein a brief introduction to his new identity.

"Natural biologist...has Mr. Wilson been to many places?" Xio asked with a slight frown.

For some reason just now, she felt an uncomfortable looking look from Mr. Wilson.

"I just left Loen not long ago. I only wandered around the nearby sea area. There are also many places I haven't set foot in."

In order to play his new identity well, Klein taught Xio, Forsi and others a lot about the strange creatures in the sea.

For example, there are sea creatures that can support a group of people living normally in their stomachs, and giant storm eagles that can destroy a ship, etc.

Audrey observed silently for a while. This man felt a bit like Mr. World to her.

Forsi was also secretly sizing up Mr. Wilson, trying to guess his true origin.

She didn't think Mr. Hastur would let an ordinary natural biologist board the Hope.

Susie also hid in the shadows and observed all this.

As the instigator, Hastur watched this scene quietly, always feeling like he was in a spy movie.

Speaking of which, Forsi is indeed a spy.

Ah, the wind is coming.

Although a group of people have their own unknown thoughts, they are still very harmonious on the surface.

At night, Xio and Forsi started talking about the new Mr. Wilson in the room.

Xio said with determination: "I'm sure he is not just a natural biologist!"

"Then you go and investigate his true identity." Forsi naturally handed over this task to Xio.

"Aren't you curious at all?"

"I just trust Mr. Hastur."

"..."

This was a good reason for laziness, and Xio had nothing to say.

On the other side, inside Audrey and Susie's room.

Susie, who was lying under the bed, lowered her voice and said, "Audrey, Mr. Wilson has secretly observed you many times today, as if to confirm something."

"He's watching me secretly?"

"Yes, he also peeked at Ms. Fors several times." Susie naturally told what she had observed today, "He seems to know you."

"That's it." Audrey understood in her heart and said with a smile: "Susie, you did a good job in this matter."

She knew no one else at sea, and had never seen Mr. Wilson before.

If he knew himself and Forsi at the same time, then he must be a member of the Tarot Society!

Little Sun is still in Silver City, and Mr. Vampire has no idea of ​​disguising himself. Mr. Hanged Man's identity should be the leader of a pirate group.

Only the mysterious Mr. World fits the bill.

Mr. Wilson is Mr. World, or to be more precise, he is a disguised identity of Mr. World.

Speaking of which, I had fed Mr. World many times before.

It is really interesting to meet members of the Tarot Club by chance in the real world.

I don’t know if I can meet Mr. Hanged Man who is also adventuring in the sea.

There is also the recently joined Hermit Lady, who seems to be at sea as well.

At around eleven o'clock at night, in Klein's room, he also did not fall asleep. Instead, he sat in front of the desk and found a mirror.

What happened today almost caught him off guard. He really didn't want to meet this mysterious Mr. Hastur again. Every time he met, nothing good seemed to happen, especially after coming to the sea.

First, he met Hastur disguised as the King in Yellow, and then met the real Hastur when he was disguised as Elaine. Today, he owed an IOU of 1000 gold pounds...

Fortunately, it was an unexpected surprise to meet Miss Justice and Miss Magic.

After Klein thought about today's events, he looked at himself in the mirror. The person in the mirror was obviously nothing like his original self. He was a completely different person. But why was Hastur still able to see through it so easily?

Could it be that the faceless man's extraordinary abilities simply didn't exist in his eyes?

Klein sighed and got up and returned to the bed. Although the bed was very soft, he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Late at night, lying in bed, the same person who couldn't sleep was Audrey.

At this time in the past, Mr. Hasta would take her out through the travel gate to experience a different adventure life, but tonight, Mr. Hasta seemed to have missed the date.

Is it because you don’t want to be noticed by Mr. World?

"Susie, are you asleep?"

"Audrey, you clearly know that I am always very energetic at night."

"Please help me go to Mr. Hastur's room and take a look." After saying this, Audrey gently covered her hot cheeks with the quilt.

"Audrey, if you like someone, you must face it bravely and act decisively. Hesitation will only lead to defeat."

"...Susie, what books have you peeked at recently?"

"This is the knowledge I learned from the words of Emperor Russell a long time ago."

"..."

Audrey no longer knew how to deal with Susie, who was educating her emotionally.

"Audrey, going out on an adventure is one of the few opportunities for you and Mr. Hastur to be alone together."

"Once you finish your adventure and go back, you have to return to Backlund, but only Miss Sharon is left to accompany Mr. Hastur..."

Susie stood up with sharp eyes and passionate emotion, as if she wanted to continue to play on this issue.

"Susie, I finally know where the term dog-headed strategist comes from."

"..."

This time, it was Susie's turn to fall silent. She slipped out of the door and headed to the room where Hastur was resting.

"Wang Wang Wang."

Susie just stood at the door and barked a few times, believing that Mr. Hastur would understand what it meant.

This is the tacit understanding of mutual trust between it and Mr. Hastur.

After a while, a portal with ripples in space appeared out of thin air in Audrey's room.

Hastur originally did not want to go out tonight, because such aura fluctuations cannot be hidden from Klein, who is spiritually sensitive.

But when Susie came outside the room and called him, he no longer worried about this small detail being discovered by Klein.

When Hastur appeared in the room, Audrey pulled the quilt to cover her red cheeks and lay on her side with her back to Hastur.

After regaining her mood a little, she lifted the quilt and looked at Hastur, who was enveloped by the light points of the space portal, with a natural expression.

Then he walked over and wrapped his arms around Hastur's left arm as naturally as before.

But this time, her mood was much more strange than before. She lowered her head slightly, secretly blaming Susie for saying too many nonsense tonight.

When the two left through the travel portal, Klein, who had not yet fallen asleep, did keenly capture this slight spatial fluctuation.

But he didn't get up to check, he just turned over and continued to be unable to sleep.

……

"Mr. Hastur, did Susie tell you something just now?"

Audrey and Hasta were walking on the street late at night. A few street lights were on at the corner, emitting a dim light, hazy and confusing.

Hasta did not answer this question, but just came closer, gently took Audrey's little hand, and held it in his palm.

"Mr. Hastur, you..."

The sudden intimate move made Audrey freeze slightly, her steps stopped, and her heartbeat accelerated sharply.

What made her even more panicked was what on earth did Susie say to Mr. Hastur just now?
