Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 256 When the Sun Rises and Sets
Being noticed by the mysterious existence, this kind of thing can be big or small.

Some mysterious beings just glance at you occasionally, and then look away later, and won't just stare at you for nothing.

And some mysterious existences are even more terrifying. The moment they notice you, they already regard you as prey or as a sacrifice.

Many ordinary people who are exposed to mysterious events have these encounters, and their fate is often miserable.

"No way." Leonard interrupted the thoughts that kept churning in his mind.

"We should be careful. The church attaches great importance to this matter, and there must be something inside that we don't understand."

"You mean, the church knows who is the mysterious existence behind the nursing home?" Leonard asked in a low voice.

"Shh, let's not mention these things, so as not to attract the attention of that mysterious being."

Klein's cautious attitude made Leonard nervous.

It was not until dawn the next day that the fire in the nursing home was completely extinguished. After half a day of statistics in the morning, 8 people died, 17 people were severely burned, 26 people escaped from the nursing home in time, and 2 people were missing.

Both Klein and Leonard set their sights on the two missing persons, Sheriff Reed and his lover.

It is also the key observation object of this nursing home.

This was certainly not a coincidental accident, but a deliberate attempt to help Sheriff Reed and his wife escape from the nursing home.

Leonard sighed and said, "It looks like we're going to be busy again."

"Hope everything goes well."

Klein was also not very optimistic about this incident, so he could only let the police continue to search for the real cause of the fire in the nursing home. He and Leonard went to ask the survivors of the fire last night to see if they could get some useful information.

After another busy day, Klein and Leonard concluded an analysis of the nursing home accident report.

Last night, some survivors did see Sheriff Reed and his wife, and said that the two of them would be magical, and they just walked away from the spot through a mirror made of flames.

Mirror? !
Leonard is very familiar with this thing. When he entered Sheriff Reed's dream last time, he saw countless light mirrors. It was as if he could cross different worlds by stepping through the light mirrors.

If what the eyewitnesses said is true, then there are extraordinary factors behind Sheriff Reed and his wife leaving the nursing home, and there is a high probability that it is that mysterious existence.

Another witness said that the fire in the nursing home last night was not a gas pipe rupture, but a large fireball that suddenly exploded in the small yard near Sheriff Reed and his wife.

The ignited fire spread to the gas pipeline, causing the entire nursing home to fall into the fire.

Based on these two points, after Klein and Leonard started reasoning and analysis, they believed that this high probability is what actually happened.

The big fireball that appeared out of thin air turned into a mirror surrounded by fire, leading Sheriff Reed and his wife to leave the nursing home, and then detonated, destroying the entire nursing home.

Klein carefully read the testimonies of the two witnesses, and asked uncertainly, "Do you feel that there is something wrong?"

"Well, if that's the case, why did the two witnesses survive? They should have died in the fire."

"I think so too, but it doesn't look like they're lying from the looks of the two of them."

Leonard was silent for a while and said: "Could it be that part of the scene that those two people saw was an illusion, Sheriff Reed and his wife did not leave through the mirror surrounded by fire, but hid in the chaotic crowd last night to escape from the nursing home ?”

"You mean Sheriff Reed and his wife are still staying in Backlund?"

"I'm just making a reasonable guess, and I'm not fully sure."

"The more I think about it, the more I think it's possible, and this can explain why these two witnesses survived."

Klein's eyes lit up, and he began to mobilize the police to conduct a detailed investigation of all nearby areas.

……

The sea, aboard the Black Emperor.

Hastur was lying on a recliner on his side, with a sun umbrella on his left to shield him from the fading sunlight, and a small square table on his right, with several bottles of fine wine and dried fish baked on it.

Azshara also followed him to enjoy the delicious dried fish, making a few happy meows from time to time.

Since chatting with Nast yesterday, Hastur has enjoyed special treatment on board the Black Emperor. As long as the request is not too rude, the crew on the Black Emperor will satisfy him as much as possible.

During the conversation with them, Hastur truly understood how famous the high-dimensional Overlooker has become in this sea.

It turns out that there are four kings of pirates in this sea.

At the top of the list is Nast, the King of the Five Seas, followed by the Mystic Queen, the Immortal King, and the Black Seat King.

At present, the Undead King has become the subordinate of the High-dimensional Overlooker, and Nast has also met the High-dimensional Overlooker, and publicly admitted that he is not an opponent.

The King of the Black Seat did not dare to appear, and most of his crew members were recruited by the high-dimensional Overlookers.

Only the mysterious queen Bernadette is currently in the southern continent, just to avoid the edge of the high-dimensional overlooker.

Not only did the pirates suffer a lot, but even the regular navy of the Loen Kingdom was dealt with several times by the High-dimensional Overlooker, who contributed two iron-clad ships to him.

The Church of the Storm, which has always been rampant in the sea, has also been targeted by high-dimensional overlookers one after another. At present, it is basically blocked in the abyss of storms and dare not come out.

The most legendary legend about this uncrowned king is his speed of disappearing.

Maybe it was still in Disi Bay in the morning, and it could suddenly appear outside the Abyss of Storms in the afternoon.

Some people speculate that this is the possession of some kind of extraordinary item that can span space.

There is also speculation that the Uncrowned King has the power to travel through time and space.

There is also news from the Church of Storms, saying that the concept of space has no meaning in front of the Uncrowned King.

Hastur showed great interest in this. He has always been puzzled by the behavior of the high-dimensional Overlooker. Hearing more about his deeds can also better understand his true character.

The only thing that worried him was, if the high-dimensional overlooker appeared in front of him at this moment, would he have insight into his true identity?
Hastur thought over and over again, and felt that with the strength of an incarnation of the high-dimensional Overlooker, he could not see through his identity under the double disguise of the secrets of the night and the cover of fate.

As long as he doesn't enter the Hall of Stars in front of him, he won't be able to find himself.

"Who would have thought that I would live so leisurely on the Black Emperor."

Hastur drank another glass of wine and watched the sunset swallowed by the sea.

The sun always rises and sets like this, and the cycle goes on and on.

Maybe one day, the sun sets today, and the same sun rises tomorrow.

……

Pullin Harbor, formerly known as Drinking Harbor, was originally named in memory of the former Grand Duke of South Wales.

Not long after the current Grand Duke of South Wales took office, he renamed the port Prine Harbour.

It is currently the three most important ports in South Wales, and directly south of it is Behrens Port in the southern continent.

Today, a medium-sized fishing boat sailed from the sea and arrived in Prim Harbor.

As soon as the fishing boat landed, there were bursts of excited and happy cheers from inside the cabin, but no one dared to come out of the cabin until the captain of the captain’s cabin personally invited a young man from the VIP room and respectfully sent him ashore.

"Finally arrived in South Wales. It's been a bit of a hard journey."

"Azshara, you must be tired of eating small dried fish all the time on the boat. Next, you should eat some vegetarian food."

"Meow?!"

The young man held a little black cat with blue pupils in his arms.

When the young man walked away, other passengers rushed out of the cabin, like a group of prisoners who had just been released from a cage.

……

In the Southern Continent, the flames of war that had been brewing for more than half a year finally began to burn.

West Balam and East Balam, who had never dealt with it very much, joined forces to launch a campaign against the members of the Church of the Seven Gods and related forces from the northern continent under the slogan of restoring freedom and peace in the southern continent.

The flames of war burned relentlessly, and soon spread to the entire Southern Continent.

The cause of the flames of war was that the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun discovered the residence of the Rose School of Thought on an island.

Once the clergy of the Eternal Sun Church, who had searched for a long time, found this place, they joined forces with other churches to attack.

In the beginning, the Rose School of Thought retreated steadily and retreated to the deepest part of the island. Just when the members of the Church of the Seven Gods were about to bulldoze the island in one go, a sun rose from the center of the entire island.

When the sun rose in the sky and shone brightly on the entire island, the members of the Church of the Seven Gods suffered heavy losses.

At a critical moment, the archbishops of the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun actually summoned a divine descendant!

A round of the same dazzling sun descended from the sky, and the two rounds of scorching sun competed, making the nearby sea water boil.

The aftermath of the confrontation turned into rounds of fire, sweeping across the entire coastline.

The fishing villages and ports along the coast were facing natural fires and suffered heavy losses.

Coupled with the two suns competing for glory, the sharply rising temperature turned into gusts of foehn, burning away from the coastline to the inland, and the fire continued to spread, forming a terrifying mountain fire disaster.

Plantations such as grain and cotton were even more likely to spontaneously combust due to being ruthlessly roasted by high temperatures.

The loss and impact caused are too great.

It was under such circumstances that East Balam and West Balam announced their cooperation to expel the Church of the Seven Gods together and return the southern continent to a peaceful land.

From here the flames of war began to spread.
