Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 346 The meeting between Gregory Carrie and Azik

A familiar yet unfamiliar feeling is approaching from afar.

His body was trembling unconsciously, it seemed to be longing, but also fear.

Some dusty long-lasting memories are being reorganized at this moment.

The battlefield, death, blood, countless broken limbs, eyes that cannot be looked directly at...

Azik had a splitting headache. He crouched down and turned his hands to cover his head.

He could clearly feel that his soul was churning wildly, as if he wanted to get out of his head.

This is the soul's longing to be whole again.

But there is another familiar and unfamiliar force helping him to suppress this desire, binding his soul tightly in his body, unable to escape.

The severe pain at this moment comes from the pull of these two forces.

During the tearing again and again, he saw a pair of eyes with pale flames that were about to be extinguished, and a feather stained with light yellow oil fell down, splitting his complete spirit body into two halves.

Half of it entered the cloud of skulls, and the remaining half merged with a gold ornament that jumped out suddenly, and returned to the flesh and blood in the burning of the pale flame.

Fortunately, the balance of tearing gradually tilted towards stability and tranquility, and the pain began to slowly subside.

"Sir, sir? Are you in good health?" The owner of the bookstall worriedly looked at the sudden abnormal customer in front of him.

"I, I'm fine, I made you worry."

Azik gradually overcame the symptoms of headaches, barely stood up, his pale face didn't look bloody at all.

"Sir, if you are not feeling well, turn right 200 meters ahead and go straight 300 meters. There is a pharmacy, and the doctors there are very professional."

Azik smiled reluctantly: "Thank you for your suggestion, I will consider it."

Finally, he selected two books on the bookstall, paid the money and left.

With two books under his left armpit, Azik walked through the busy street, chose a coffee shop facing the street, sat by the window, and sipped bitter coffee while staring at the street outside.

The coffee in Nandalu is very bitter, and I don't like sugar and milk. The strong bitterness is very refreshing.

After a short rest, Azik's headache symptoms eased a lot, and the originally scattered and fragmented memories began to gradually gather together, restoring the past about him.

He is the heir of the Underworld Emperor Salinger, and the death consul of the Balam Empire in the Fourth Epoch.

In the era of the War of the Four Emperors, he participated in the battle with his father, the Underworld Emperor Salinger, and lost his memory after being glared at by the Blood Emperor Arista Tudor on the battlefield.

Since then, he has been going through reincarnations of death, losing his memory again and again, and starting over again.

Compared with the cold life as a death consul, every subsequent reincarnation is very warm, and even the memory is warm.

The renewed war in his hometown lit up memories of the past, but the self he remembered was not the self he imagined he wanted to be.

Azik was in a mixed mood and stared at the street outside in a daze.

Suddenly, the busy and whispering voice of the cafe was pressed on the pause button.

A burly figure walked in from the outside. His body exuded a majesty that made people want to surrender. His eyes were full of reverence and he walked to Azik. He knelt down on one knee and said with great respect: "God allows us to welcome the ruler of death. Sir."

Azik just glanced at him lightly. This man had the blood of the royal family of the East Balam Empire flowing in his body, and he was the current leader of the East Balam Empire.

Is this day finally here?

When he recovered his past memories, he understood what kind of truth was hidden in the countless reincarnations where he lost his memory.

His amnesia comes from the incompleteness of his soul, and the instigator of all this is his father, the Emperor of the Underworld Salinger of the Fourth Epoch.

The so-called welcome at the moment is his father, who will replace his body and return to life. This is the resurrection method left behind when he fell a long time ago.

No one is more suitable than his heirs to inherit his resurrection. The so-called father-son relationship is too naive and simple for them who are gods.

But Azik didn't want to refuse either, he just looked calm and prepared to meet the ending that should have ended long ago.

At this time, another figure appeared in the cafe, a lady with ordinary features, dark eyes, a simple robe, a bark belt, long black hair hanging down, no shoes and socks, and bare feet.

"You still have a chance to choose."

"That's too late."

Azik looked at the lady and smiled, "You are already late, he has already returned, the reason why he came to me now is because he has absolute confidence."

After a pause, he seemed to look at the person behind the lady, "If He comes in person, it may be possible, and you are just a qualified believer."

"I can try to get you out of here."

"But I don't want to run away anymore." Azik declined the lady's kindness, and now he just wanted to calmly face his own ending.

"His return will cause more chaos and death, and your voluntary sacrifice will destroy everything you once valued."

"Maybe." Azik glanced into the distance, and said again: "My long and unexamined life should also usher in its own end."

"You shouldn't give up your humanity so easily."

Azik just said calmly: "Humanity will eventually be replaced by divinity."

"It's different after all."

After the words fell, the mysterious lady left the cafe with Azik who showed no resistance at all.

But they didn't go far, but fell into the spirit world inexplicably, and when they reappeared from the spirit world, they were still in the cafe.

Faced with this result, Azik was not surprised, and the mysterious lady didn't have any expression on her face, as if she was testing something just now.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, and the king of the Eastern Balam Empire, who had been kneeling on the ground, finally bit the bullet and said, "Master Death Consul, God just asked us to welcome your return. Apart from this, there is no other oracle."

"It seems that He doesn't need my dedication right now." Azik seemed to understand something.

"Chirp."

A clear voice broke the silence of the entire cafe.

A carriage stopped at the entrance of the cafe, and a girl as delicate as a doll stepped out of the carriage. On her right shoulder stood a little flamingo, with a pair of eyes quietly watching everything here.

When the girl walked into the cafe, the little flamingo flapped its wings and landed on the table in front of Azik.

He glanced at Azik, the mysterious lady, and the king of the Eastern Balam Empire successively, and his eyes fell on Azik again.

After watching for a while, he chirped again. A thunderous thunder resounded in Azik's mind, half of the soul that was about to move was reinforced with a golden phoenix seal.

The mysterious lady also understood at this moment that the resurrected existence was the god of death, not the pure underworld emperor Salinger.

If Azik is forcibly devoured at this time, then Hades Salinger will be truly resurrected, which is not what the god of death wants to see now.

The situation he wanted was for Azik to keep half of his soul alive until he fully grasped the power of the god of death before seeking the integrity of his soul.

"I'm afraid that Salinger didn't think of this ending." The mysterious lady whispered, and her eyes turned to the girl who was as delicate as a doll, carefully and seriously sizing her up.

Azik also fell silent. Although the distant memory and family relationship were a bit blurred, the same blood still made him feel sad.

Glancing at the ignorant and thoughtful little firebird on the table, he couldn't help but want to reach out to touch it, but he retracted his hand halfway, and turned his eyes to the girl who was walking with the little firebird.

I want to find out what is different about those who can walk with Him.

Gerald Eggers, who was still kneeling on the ground, raised his head slightly at this moment and looked at the girl, because he didn't dare to look at the little firebird at all.

When the oracle was handed down by the god, what he saw was a flying phoenix, which looked like a gigantic version of the little firebird in front of him.

The fear that originated from the bottom of his heart had clearly told him the relationship between the two.

"..."

Sharon, who was stared at by three eyes at the same time, was a little confused at the moment.

Although she didn't know any of the three people in front of her, the aura and feeling from them were definitely Extraordinary people who were much stronger than herself.

Especially the lady with a calm expression like water, her eyes seemed to see through everything, and she had no secrets at all in front of her.

This feeling seems to be more terrifying than her teacher.

She had no intention of walking in here, but just now on the carriage, the little firebird suddenly urged her to get off the car and come to this cafe.

In order to explore the purpose of the little firebird, she got out of the car and came here.

The moment she stepped into the cafe, she had a strange feeling, as if everything around her was falling into some strange state.

Although those guests were drinking coffee and chatting normally, it seemed that only the three people in front of them were real, and they seemed to be discussing some important event.

Sharon was silent for a while, then looked at the little flamingo on the table.

She felt that it was better to take Hastur's spiritual messenger out of here now to avoid any accidents.

"Chirp."

Gregory looked back and waved her wings, giving Sharron a reassuring look.

That look seemed to say: "Don't worry, it's okay, I'll protect you."
