Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 204 Audrey's Dream Adventure
It was getting late, and Audrey and Earl Hall just had dinner at Aster Manor, and had no plans to stay here overnight.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Audrey and Earl Hall returned to their suburban manor in a carriage.

It is about half an hour's drive from Aster Manor.

Hastur sent Audrey and Earl Hall away, and when he came back, he saw Grelint squatting on the ground, stroking Hauge's dog's head, and whispering to him.

Hasta also saw Hauge and Grelint's performance today. It really can't be blamed for Hauge's incompetence. miss.

The last silly roe deer was captured by Hauge alone.

"Hasta, should I practice marksmanship?"

"If you are interested, I have a club here that I can recommend to you."

Hasta told Glenint about the club that Greck introduced to him last time.

"Okay, I'll check it out in a while."

Hearing this sentence, Hastur knew that Grelint would not go.

"Hasta, do you think Hauge is smarter or Susie is more powerful?"

"Susie." Hastur gave his answer without hesitation.

"I feel the same way. I really don't know how Audrey trains Susie. Obviously I am the animal trainer. Hauge, who was trained by me, shouldn't lose to Susie." Grelin Special sighed puzzled.

Hastur thought for a while and said, "Perhaps you should find more reasons in yourself."

What he said actually meant that Grelint did not have as much financial resources as Audrey, so it would be difficult for him to support a Extraordinary creature.

It is estimated that being able to advance to Sequence 8 has already reached the top, and now Susie is already a mind reader of Sequence 8, the difference is not a tiny bit.

Another point is that Hauge doesn't seem to be as smart as Susie.

"It's true that I didn't do well enough. After I go back, I will definitely work harder."

Grelint regained his fighting spirit and confidence, and Hastur could only wish him good luck.

……

Late at night, in a suburban manor, a room with a large ginkgo tree can be seen from the window.

Audrey was sleeping peacefully on the bed, and Susie's nest was on the right side at the end of the bed, and it was also resting on the ground at the moment.

The fog, the invisible fog spreads in the dream world.

Audrey felt that she had come to a foggy forest, where she was alone, and Susie, who had been with her all along, had disappeared at this moment.

The surrounding forest trees are different from what we usually see. They have no leaves to cover them, leaving only bare trunks.

The surroundings suddenly lost all life, and there were only scenes on the verge of death.

Audrey was a little flustered, but besides that, she was looking forward to and eager to try.

She has been longing for such an adventure before stepping into the extraordinary world.

But apart from the magic mirror incident, which allowed her to meet Mr. Fool and join the Tarot Society, her world still hasn't changed much.

Everyday life is still so mundane and nothing new.

Now a mysterious and unknown journey is unfolding before her eyes, and she is a little moved, but facing the unknown, she still can't help but feel fear in her heart.

She didn't stay where she was, but kept walking straight ahead.

As it went deeper, the fog became thicker, and the surrounding bare trees with only branches seemed to be gradually activated.

The branches are arms, and they are waving disorderly. I don't know if they are cheering for Audrey's arrival, or jumping for joy because they will be able to feast on the food later.

Audrey was a little scared at first, so she stayed and observed for a long time, seeing that they had no intention of harming her, she slowly let go of her worries and moved on.

The main tree trunk, which was originally immovable, also began to writhe like a human body as the thick fog deepened.

They are like tall and distorted giants, and they are happily fogging at the moment.

Whenever Audrey gets close to a certain range, they will return to an immobile posture.

Audrey's eyes widened slightly. She really liked this scene, and it fit her fantasy of the extraordinary world.

Spooky and mysterious.

The mysterious beings that dwell in the depths of this misty forest will be malevolent and cursed witches or magical elves from myths and legends.

Audrey continued to walk deeper with a sliver of expectation. She was also worried about whether she would encounter danger.

But now, her consciousness is awake, but she has been unable to wake up. Her consciousness seems to be pulled into a dream by some force, and she cannot escape.

"If I'm really in danger, I can seek help from Mister Fool."

With such thoughts in mind, Audrey was cautious and vaguely expected to go deeper into the woods ahead.

Except for trees or trees, I didn't see a single moving creature along the way.

She also didn't see scary witches and magical elves, all she saw was a weird forest shrouded in mist.

This foggy world seems to have no end, no border, no matter which direction Audrey chooses to go, she will never encounter any special events.

This made her look forward to disappointment from the beginning.

The only good news is that this foggy world did not harm her abilities, because this is her dreamland, and such changes only occur when she is affected by some kind of extraordinary power.

"I can only wait until tomorrow morning when I wake up automatically."

Audrey sighed, and chose another direction to go deeper.

……

It was dawn, and the sun had risen from the window sill to the roof.

Susie had woken up and went for a stroll outside, but Audrey was still asleep.

The personal maid didn't have any doubts at first, but simply thought that Audrey was more lethargic today because she was physically and mentally exhausted because she went hunting in the forest yesterday.

Until the rays of the setting sun dyed the ginkgo trees, the breeze gently knocked on the windows.

The personal maid in charge of taking care of Audrey discovered the abnormality. She only tried to wake up Audrey at first. After all, sleeping for too long is not good for the body.

But she couldn't wake up, no matter how loud she shouted, Audrey who fell asleep in bed never opened her eyes.

Susie was also anxiously walking back and forth around the bed, barking non-stop.

Soon, this incident alarmed Earl Hall.

He has a wide range of knowledge, and after thinking for a while, he guessed that the abnormality that happened to Audrey might have something to do with going into the forest yesterday to hunt.

When he heard that Audrey had encountered the fog yesterday and was separated from others for a short time, he was basically sure that there were extraordinary factors in this incident!
Earl Hall's face was ashen. On the one hand, he sent someone to Backlund to invite someone, and on the other hand, he sent someone to notify Hastur.

Yesterday's hunting activity was arranged by him alone. In just one night, this happened to Audrey. Regardless of whether he knew about it or not, he was responsible for solving it!
It was already evening when Hastur and Grelint arrived at the manor where Earl Hall was.

"You must give me an explanation for this matter!"

Faced with Earl Hall's almost ultimatum words, Hastur's heart was heavy.

He has observed Audrey's situation, she sleeps soundly, and there is no problem in all aspects of the body, the only problem that may occur is her spiritual world.

For example, the extraordinary power of dreams, which can make people's consciousness sleep forever.

Neither he nor Earl Hall and others encountered the fog yesterday, but Audrey who encountered the fog had problems. It can be seen that the abnormality on Audrey must be related to yesterday's fog!
"Earl Hall, I need Susie to take me to the place where Miss Audrey went yesterday."

"can."

Earl Hall asked Hastur to take Susie away with a sullen face, and Grelint also wanted to follow, but Hastur stopped him.

The current situation is unclear, and he doesn't want to take Greint with him. If there is another problem, he will solve it by himself.

At the entrance of the forest, Hastur took Susie on the road alone.

"Susie, take me to the place where you encountered the fog yesterday. I know you are very smart, and you should understand what I mean."

"Wang!"

Susie began to trot, Hastur followed behind, and soon came to the area where Susie and Audrey encountered the fog yesterday.

Right now, the sky has completely darkened, and the surroundings are gloomy.

But the fog did not reappear, and this area was no different from other places.

Hastur and Susie searched the vicinity for a while, but found nothing special.

"Wang..."

Susie's voice was low and she was depressed. She was very worried about Audrey's situation.

"Don't worry, I will find a way to save her."

Hastur squatted down and stroked Susie's head lightly, signaling that it should not be too sad.

"Wang Wang..."

Susie lay on the ground, her ears shrugged, feeling helpless.

It was just a dog, and this situation was beyond its scope of handling. It didn't know how to help Audrey at all.

"Susie, help me stay around, and let me know if anything happens." Hasta also lay down after speaking.

"Wang?"

Susie looked puzzled at Hastur who had closed her eyes, and finally chose to believe in Mr. Hastur.

It has always had a hunch that this Mr. Hastur is not simple.

Maybe he can really help Audrey.

Susie regained her spirits and began to patrol the surroundings to avoid disturbing Hastur at this moment.
