Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 314 Peeping Through the Fog Partition

After a while, Gresta sighed and said, "We can start investigating with other people first, if they don't have any problems."

"Well, that's a really good idea."

Klein also agrees with this course of action. Instead of taking the risk of investigating the ignorant Earl Hastur Campbell, it is better to use the method of exclusion.

When all possibilities are ruled out, the last one left must be the truth.

Near the port in the evening, there was a breeze with a smell of the sea, the sky was a bit dark, and a group of black clouds like ink stains were eroding.

It's going to rain heavily.

Klein looked at the seagulls that were struggling to fly by the sea in the distance. They seemed to be oppressed by black clouds, and their figures were so low that they were almost close to the sea surface.

He felt a little cold for no reason, maybe he wasn't used to the changeable weather by the sea.

Back in the room, Greystal discussed with Klein for a while, and divided the people on the list into half, each responsible for the investigation.

At night, when he was going to sleep, Klein was a little restless. After thinking about it, he got up and went to the bathroom, took four steps backwards, and entered above the gray mist.

Coming here, the sight of being spied on finally disappeared.

There was no doubt that someone was watching him and Greystadt in the dark.

Could it be the one sent by Lord Hastur Campbell?
After thinking briefly for two or three seconds, Klein decided to do a divination.

"The encounter with the Red Gloves is related to Lord Hastur Campbell."

The pendulum of the citrine did not give Klein the revelation he wanted. It moved every so often, as if it was stuck in a quagmire.

To be precise, it should be tightly absorbed, and even a single movement is an extravagant hope.

Klein looked at it for a while, then changed another divination statement: "008 is in the hands of Earl Hastur Campbell!"

This time the proportion still did not get any useful information.

All divination involving that Hastur yielded no useful answers.

When he did divination for 008, although it was obscure and difficult, he could still get a little enlightenment.

Does this prove that the secret hidden in Hastur is far more terrifying than 008?
Klein tried to make such an analogy, and felt that the young earl was terrifying and deeply hidden.

At this moment, Klein, who was sitting on the long bronze table, once again felt the sight of being spied on.

That line of sight seems to be coming from a distant place... from the starry sky!
Klein was shocked, and subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky shrouded in gray mist.

The prying sight seemed to be able to penetrate the barrier of the gray fog and land on him.

Faintly, Klein saw the starry sky covered by mist, and there was a vague figure that couldn't be peeked looking down at him.

"Fool."

A fluttering sentence, piercing through the cover of gray mist, exploded in the entire space like thunder,

Klein's scalp tingled instantly, and he quickly looked away, trying to use the power of the gray mist to cut off this connection.

Fortunately, the violently tumbling gray fog shattered all prying eyes.

The calmness of the past was restored here again, but Klein's heart was still on hold, beating violently like boiling water in a boiler.

After a while, after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he gradually relaxed.

He didn't expect that such a terrible thing would happen just by divination twice about the Earl Hastur Campbell.

That vague and unpeekable figure, whose eyes can not only penetrate the gray fog, but also recognize the identity of the Fool, is definitely an ancient existence.

Could He be the ancient mystic whom Lord Hastur Campbell believed in?
My own divination many times has attracted His attention, so I cast a gaze of attention, so as to see through my identity.

There is also a possibility that He has long been aware of the existence of the Fool, and this time he came to reveal the identity of the Fool, because he wanted to give the Fool a warning?
Klein's brain began to run extremely fast, thinking about various possibilities.

But in the end, it's just speculation, and nothing can be confirmed.

But one thing is for sure, he can no longer go to divination about Earl Hastur Campbell, so as not to cause accidents again.

Klein couldn't help thinking that during the day, Earl Hastur Campbell wanted to use a high salary to attract him to work in South Wales.

Could it be that at that time, he had already seen through the fact that he was a follower of fools?
Not too possible.

I have always been very cautious, and I haven't met him a few times, so how could he see through his hidden identity?

I have never prayed to the fool before.

Klein thought a lot, but felt that he still thought too much.

Maybe it's just too much pressure recently.

Before Klein left the gray fog, he looked up at the sky covered by the gray fog.

Still nothing unusual, he really breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other side, on the Hall of Stars, Hastur was sitting high, still looking at the stars tonight.

He was in the Hall of Stars when Klein fortune-told him twice.

Ordinary people's divination can't alarm him, but Klein, who was divination on Origin Castle, divination about himself one after another, finally caused a subtle reaction from the Hall of Stars.

Hastur's gaze naturally focused on the past. When he saw that it was a gray mist, he guessed that the person who alarmed him tonight would be Klein who was above the gray mist.

In order to verify his guess, he purposely named the Fool's honorable name.

Looking at the gray fog that suddenly rolled violently, he knew that he had guessed correctly.

Deep in the gray fog is Klein!
It's a pity that Klein's relationship with the Hall of Stars is very weak, and it is impossible to pull him to the Hall of Stars for a meeting. In addition to the instinctive defense of Origin Castle, he is currently unable to break into Origin Castle, and directly binds him with the chain of order. Go Klein.

"I hope Mister Fool can sleep well tonight."

"Do you want to entrust him with a dream?"

Hastur thought for a while, but he still didn't disturb Klein who was already greatly shocked.

……

In the early morning, Greystel had already woken up and finished grooming, and was about to go out for breakfast. When she passed Klein's room, she saw that he hadn't woken up yet, so she tried to knock on the door.

After waiting outside the door for a while, the door opened from the inside.

Klein, who appeared in front of him, had messy hair, a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and his mental state was not very good.

Greystadt asked curiously, "Klein, you didn't have a nightmare last night, did you?"

"Almost." Klein forced a smile.

He almost couldn't sleep last night, for fear that the blurry figure would suddenly appear in his dream while he was sleeping.

Fortunately, he didn't dream last night.

Of course, he couldn't disclose these things to Greystadt.

He changed the topic and said, "Mr. Greystadt, do you feel like someone is spying on you?"

Greystadt's face became serious, "Now?"

"No, it was yesterday."

Klein shook his head. He didn't feel being spied on right now, only when he was wandering the streets yesterday.

"It seems that someone has started to pay attention to us." Greystai said again: "I'm going out to eat something. If you want something to eat, I just brought you some back."

"Don't bother, go out together after I wash up."

"What you need right now is rest, sometimes too much inspiration is not a good thing."

"..."

Facing such a misunderstanding, Klein didn't explain anything. He really felt tired and needed to rest.

"Don't be so nervous. Our mission to Puning Harbor has been basically completed. We will try our best for the rest. We must believe that the goddess will always guide us."

Greystai tapped her chest four times with her right hand, drawing a crimson moon, and Klein also praised the goddess.

At this time, Klein was a little more serious than usual. In the past, praising the goddess was somewhat formulaic and insincere.

Now, he hopes that the goddess can really protect him.

……

On the distant sea, Mr. A, who is gradually awakening, looked calmly into the distance.

Even at the end of the sea and sky at this moment, it is shrouded by thick black clouds, and there are lightnings in it that are constantly churning and rolling.

This kind of slightly shocking natural beauty can no longer make him feel the slightest wave in his heart.

"Is this the world in the Lord's eyes?"

Mr. A couldn't help but put his state of mind into the vision of the Lord, and the original peaceful state of mind was immediately broken.

Things about the Lord can always easily shake his persistence and will.

Mr. A did not think this was a bad thing, on the contrary, it was a proof of his devout faith in the Lord.

This ship has deviated from its direction and is heading towards unknown seas. Do you need to inform the Lord?
Perhaps the great Lord has long noticed all this.

Thinking that the Lord is with him on the boat at this moment, Mr. A felt relaxed and joyful again.

But when a familiar figure appeared at the end of the sea and sky, his whole body trembled slightly, and his voice gushed out from his throat, "Lord Ouroreus!"

The angel of the Lord who sat down, the angel of destiny who really served the Lord, unexpectedly appeared here!
Did he come to welcome the return of the Lord?

Mr. A quickly cheered up, quickly tidied up his clothes, straightened his back, tried his best to suppress the trembling in his heart, and tried his best to show an expression of indifference.

He has already thought about the first sentence he will speak later, "Master Ouroreus, I will escort the Lord back to His kingdom of God."
