Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 100 Humanity and Divinity, the True Creator and Adam
The real creator and Adam?

Humanity and divinity?
The more Hastur thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was extremely great, but he felt something was wrong.

If I really have the humanity of the king in yellow, at least I have to start as a true god now, right?

How could it be still in Sequence 8?

Relying only on his own humanity, the King in Yellow has long since fallen into eternal madness and chaos, and it is impossible for him to stay awake like Adam.

Moreover, the name Hasta Campbell belongs to the original owner. Even if there is any fate, the original owner should bear it. What does it have to do with me?
Hastur thought for a long time, but still felt that this guess was unreliable.

The situation of the real Creator and Adam is rare, otherwise the Seven Gods would not be unaware of it.

Because chaos and madness are normal, and the separation of divinity and humanity is abnormal and alien.

Thinking of the real Creator, Hastur was curious and wanted to see what happened.

What does the true Creator do every day?
It feels like His figure is everywhere, but it doesn't seem to have much sense of existence.

Adam can come out and walk around at will, but it seems that he has never really gone out, right?
I don't know how the human nature of the real creator is reflected, and the tender father-son relationship with Ouroreus is staged?

This is seriously inconsistent with the style displayed by the Aurora Club.

After thinking for a while, Hastur gave up thinking about the real Creator.

Instead, he focused on the monk in yellow.

This group of devout believers who believe in the king in yellow have been hiding in the dark. What fate are they waiting for?
Or should I say, what kind of fate do they want?
Andrew, who came to his home to cheat before, could not be a pawn they deliberately pushed out, right?
Otherwise, Andrew is not even a Sequence 9, how could he know about the golden box?
That was something that even Will, the snake of fate, could not pry into.

Perhaps Andrew was deliberately launched by them to punish themselves.

They probably wanted to use Andrew's incident to tell themselves that the golden box exists, and only those whose fate is related can get it.

If it were the original owner, in order to revive his mother's paranoia, he would definitely find out the golden box, open it, and use the hidden things inside.

Is this what the group of monks in yellow were expecting?

But they didn't expect that they were too cautious. Not only did they not look for the golden box, but they deliberately ignored the existence of the golden box.

Even when moving to a new house, I deliberately put things on the third floor of the old house and didn't touch it.

So they deliberately wrapped the golden box as a gift and gave it to themselves?
But how did they get the golden box?
Doesn't it mean that only those who are related to fate can see its existence?

Maybe it's because the king in yellow gave them different powers.

Hastur deduced it seriously, and felt that this was a more logical sequence of actions.

Then the purpose of the group of monks in yellow is clear, they are waiting for their fate to open the golden box.

Could it be that as long as the golden box is opened, the king in yellow will come?
As a devout believer of His, it is very possible to do such a series of things for one's own belief.

After thinking for a long time, Hastur's thoughts jumped to Hastur and the king in yellow.

In his mystical knowledge, Hastur is not equivalent to the king in yellow.

The King in Yellow is just an incarnation of Hastur playing in the human world, and Hastur is the real God of Outer World.

In addition to the vest of the King in Yellow, He also wears other vests, such as the well-known Revelers from afar, Emerald Lama, etc.

The deity that the monks in yellow believe in is Hastur himself, not the incarnation of the king in yellow.

But this is the mystical knowledge he understands, and it does not mean that it is the same in the mysterious world.

Perhaps in this mysterious world, Hastur is the king in yellow, and he only has this identity.

The god believed by the monks in yellow is not Hastur, but the king in yellow.

Hastur felt a little pity. If the deity that the monks in yellow believed in was Hastur himself, then in the name of Hastur, at least he could be a god in the organization of monks in yellow.

Maybe he can be an organization leader, an evil leader or something.

"As long as they don't come forward against themselves, then wait until they become stronger before dealing with them."

Hastur still felt that he should put his own strength first, with his current potion digestion speed.

In about ten days, the barbarian potion will be completely digested.

Try to catch up before the next gathering of stars, then you can give the lamp god a little shock in person.

Hastur thought a lot more before leaving the Hall of Stars and laying down on the bed for a deep sleep.

……

In the morning, Hasta had breakfast and went to the Gordon Club for training as usual.

It's still a regular two-piece suit, fighting and firearms.

After enjoying a free lunch at the club, instead of going directly to the law firm as usual, he returned to the West District and went to the police station.

He wanted to find Andrew to confirm his guess, to see if Andrew was deliberately pushed out by the group of monks in yellow to attract his attention.

When he came to the police station, Hastur directly asked the police officer on duty to ask Sergeant Reed.

In this police station, he is only familiar with Sheriff Reed, after all, he has dealt with him several times.

I invited him to a meal last time.

"Baron Campbell, why are you here!"

A police officer who once had a meal with Sheriff Reed found Hastur and trot over with a happy face.

"I heard that you arrested that fraudster Andrew, and you happened to be passing by today, so you walked in and asked about the specific situation."

Hastur behaved very kindly, and did not mention at all that he himself hung Andrew over the drain.

The policeman looked embarrassed, looked around, and pulled Hastur outside the police station, looking for a corner where no one passed by.

He lowered his voice and said, "The fraudster named Andrew died in prison more than half a month ago."

"died?"

Hastur was surprised, but not so surprised.

If there is a special reason for Andrew's death, then his guess can be confirmed.

Andrew was pushed out to draw his attention, and his death was most likely caused by the group of monks in yellow.

"In the water he drank that day, a thumbtack was put in by mistake. When he drank the water, the thumbtack got stuck in his throat, cut his throat, and died not long after."

The police carefully restored the details of Andrew's death for Hasta.

"It's a real tragedy."

Hastur sighed with emotion, and already believed in his heart that there should be extraordinary factors in Andrew's death.

He didn't believe that there were so many coincidences.

With the power possessed by those monks in yellow, it was too easy to kill a prisoner locked in a prison.

"Extortion, even planning to steal a nobleman, should have been sentenced to death for his crimes, and dying like this may be the last mercy the goddess has for him."

"It's a life after all."

Hastur showed a look of shameful mercy.

The police officer sighed: "Yes, but who told him not to get on the right track."

Before leaving, Hastur casually asked Sheriff Reed's recent situation.

Only in this way can I show that I attach more importance to Sheriff Reed, and it will be easier to ask him for help in the future.

The young police officer sighed, and then slowly said: "Something happened at Sheriff Reed's house, and he hasn't come to work at the police station for a while."

"What is the specific reason?"

"Sheriff Reed's wife is pregnant, which was originally a good thing, but his wife's physical condition is getting worse after pregnancy, which makes Sheriff Reed have to go home to take care of her."

"Is your body not working?"

"The condition of Sheriff Reed's wife is not very good. The last time I met him on the street, it was obvious that Sheriff Reed looked haggard and his eyes were dull. It must be because his wife's condition did not improve. so."

The young police officer said a lot about Sheriff Reed's current situation and personality.

In the police station, Sheriff Reed may not be the best sheriff, but he is definitely the most popular sheriff for young police officers like them.

Every time he goes on a mission, he will try his best to give the opportunity to young police officers, let them take action at critical moments, and earn enough flowers and applause.

For the older police officers, he asked them to do some easier work as much as possible, and when there was danger, he would do it himself first.

Sheriff Reed is an almost faultless boss for young officers.

"If Sheriff Reed needs it, I can introduce him to a doctor with excellent medical skills."

"Thank you for your kindness, Baron Campbell, you are really a good man, unlike other nobles."

The young police officer was very happy. He just wanted to ask Hasta to lend a helping hand to Sergeant Reed after he said so much.

But he also knew that this kind of thing could not be forced directly, so he told the truth about Andrew.

After all, Andrew died in prison, which is not a glorious thing for the police station.

Hastur inquired about Sheriff Reed's residence and then left. After returning, he asked Butler Neil to arrange for a doctor to go and see if he could help.
