Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 64 The Script Written by the Devil

I'm alone?
Lecturer Flon was stunned for a while, holding the kerosene lamp, before carefully holding the kerosene lamp and returning in the same direction as when he came and went.

Before leaving, he glanced at the living corpse. In the dim light, the living corpse's face became paler and more terrifying.

Staring carefully, one can find that the eyes of the living corpse are as black as a penetrating black crystal, which is in sharp contrast with his face.

Shivering, he hastily quickened his pace and left.

When he came to the hidden door in the basement, the living corpse left here couldn't detect his figure because he was in the dark.

When the light of the kerosene lamp shone on him, Lecturer Furren's heart stopped for half a beat on the spot, his face was so pale that he was almost frightened and sat on the ground on the spot.

Fortunately, he remembered in time that there was a person who stayed here to guard the gate, and he seemed to look like this.

Why can't you just say a word?

Does it have to be so scary?
Lecturer Flon swallowed, with a look of fear on his face, and he was very speechless.

The four people who followed tonight were like ice sculptures, they didn't even speak a word.

He tried to communicate with the other party, but the other party ignored him at all, and just stared at him, making him uncomfortable.

Lecturer Furren shrank back and held the kerosene lamp tightly in his hand. He didn't waste time here, and he had to go out to help rescue the soldiers.

Although Mr. Hastur did not come forward, he felt compelled to ask the police officer for help.

After leaving the clock tower, Lecturer Furren trotted all the way to the room where the two police officers lived, and knocked on the door.

As for the others, he can't trust any of them now, especially that Dean Bud.

The two police officers were soon awakened by the knock on the door by Lecturer Furren, and opened the door.

Lecturer Furren quickly briefly explained what happened just now. He only mentioned that there was a secret room in the secret passage in the basement, and that there was a very scary monster in the secret room. He did not mention Hastur and Maric today. Unusual place at night.

After the two police officers listened carefully, they followed Lecturer Folun to the bell tower, entered the basement, and came to the secret passage, where they found an empty secret room.

The three of them carried lights and entered the secret room one after another. Lecturer Furren scanned around curiously, but did not find the person guarding here before.

The dim kerosene lamp was difficult to illuminate the dark secret room, and could only barely dispel the darkness of about three meters around.

As they went deeper, the sound of sword blades slashing sounded, and the two police officers took out their pistols and moved forward carefully.

Indistinctly, a small ball of dim yellow light from a kerosene lamp appeared in front of it, which was the source of the sound of the blade.

It's Mister Hastur!

After getting closer, Lecturer Furren barely recognized Hastur's figure through the light. He shouted excitedly, and at the same time signaled the two police officers not to shoot casually to avoid accidental injury.

In the dim light, every time Frost Cold's blade slashed, a head fell to the ground.

One of them rolled and came to the three of them. It was the head of a child. His face was covered with blood, his eyes were open, and his teeth were exposed. It was very scary.

The two police officers were taken aback, quickly raised their pistols, pointed at Hastur who was constantly waving his blade, and shouted at the same time:

"Baron Campbell, please stop your absurd behavior, otherwise, we will shoot!"

"Don't get too close for now."

Hastur replied calmly, then moved away from his figure, and put the kerosene lamp in front of him, so that the three lecturers Furren behind him could see clearly.

I saw an unidentifiable species of beast, prostrate on the ground at this moment, with children's heads growing on its body, a large gash was drawn in its abdomen, dripping with blood, and there were spots all over its body. A series of sword marks.

It's not completely dead yet, it's still panting, and every time Hastur cut off a child's head with a sword, its body would tremble slightly and let out a very weak cry.

"This this……"

The two young police officers were quite frightened by this scene. Although Lecturer Furren emphasized to them many times along the way that there was a terrifying monster in the secret room, although they were nervous, they were not very scared.

In my heart, I guess it's just a beast, and my pistol can completely deal with it.

But they had never seen such a monster beyond imagination.

Just looking at the pile of heads on the monster's body made him feel itchy and numb all over.

It's hard to imagine, Baron Campbell, how much courage this young baron possessed to stand here and kill this monster with a sword with a straight face!

When the heads of all the children on the monster were cut off, it also lost its last bit of vitality.

has it ended?

The two police officers looked at each other and shuddered.

On the other side, Lecturer Furren had come to Hastur and asked in a low voice, "Where is that Mr. Maric?"

"He's fine, he just doesn't like seeing too many outsiders."

"Oh." Lecturer Furren nodded, letting go of his worries. He didn't see Mr. Maric just now and thought he was eaten by this terrible monster.

After a moment of silence, Lecturer Furren asked again: "Have you found the teacher?"

Hastur said calmly: "No, but he should be fine."

"??"

Lecturer Furren showed a puzzled look on his face. He wanted to know how Hastur came to this conclusion, or if he was simply comforting him.

"This monster doesn't like to eat adults, it only likes children."

"But what if someone else wants to murder the teacher..."

Lecturer Furren thought of another possibility, and Hastur glanced at him, "Then you should be prepared to lose a teacher,"

Hastur didn't chat with Lecturer Furren for too long, and walked over to ask the two police officers to report what happened here, and at the same time asked them to invite the clergy from the Church of the Evernight Goddess to appease the souls who could not sleep after death.

……

The next day, just before dawn, a group of police officers hurried over along with five priests from the Evernight Goddess Church.

Before a large number of police officers turned the entire workhouse upside down, Professor Wayne appeared with Vice President Bard.

Lecturer Furren greeted him very happily, while Hastur sighed, and there was no overly happy expression on his face.

Professor Wayne is still alive, which is naturally something to be happy about, but he has been staying with Vice President Bard all the time.

If he guessed correctly, Professor Wayne was really in danger this time, and it was a life-and-death crisis. At the moment of life and death, Vice President Bard must have rescued Professor Wayne like a divine soldier.

After that everything went smoothly.

The secret room was discovered, the monster was killed, and the death of those children could also be attributed to the dead Dean Dan.

What happened last night happened precisely because Dean Dan died and no one could control the monster.

Vice President Bard, who has saved Professor Wayne and has an alibi and motivation, can naturally take this opportunity to get rid of all ties.

In this way, all the hidden mines in the entire workhouse will be removed, and a new era belonging to Dean Bard will start in the future.

It's a decent screenplay.

Well, yes, it's just a script, scripted.

While Hasta was thinking, Bard and Professor Wayne looked over.

One curious, one embarrassed.

"Hasta, you are indeed my most proud student. You can always use your courage and wisdom to solve all problems in times of crisis."

Professor Wayne came over with a smile, wanting to hug Hastur intimately, but Hastur blocked it with his hand.

"Professor Wayne, as a teacher, you disappeared twice in the same place. How can you set a good example for us students? Don't you know that overly reckless behavior will make others worry?"

"..."

Professor Wayne had an embarrassed and ashamed expression on his face. Before he could say anything, Hastur stepped forward, hugged Professor Wayne gently, and said with a wink and smile, "Welcome back, my teacher."

Lecturer Flon on the side couldn't help laughing out loud, and Professor Wayne also had a helpless wry smile on his face, and Bud looked back here.

What happened next really developed as Hasta expected.

Dean Bard, who is dead, bears all the blame for this egregious case.

Hastur didn't say anything about this, and left the workhouse with Professor Wayne and Lecturer Furren under Bud's watch.

That night, a report letter was sent to the Evernight Goddess Church.

"What do you think of this report letter?"

"Using children as sacrifices and feeding evil monsters is indeed in line with the behavior of demons. I think we should check it out."

"I heard from members of the church in the dock area that the Sunrise Workhouse has indeed happened recently, as recorded in this letter, and the authenticity can be guaranteed."

"It's so deep to hide, it's worthy of being a devil known for its cunning!"

"Leave it to the Nighthawks, act quickly, set off tonight, and bring the sealed item if necessary."

"Have you found out who wrote this report letter?"

"Fixed, Hastur Campbell, a promising young baron."

……

In the sunrise workhouse, Bud stood on the third floor, looking in the direction of the clock tower, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth.

A group of idiots, even with the IQ of that stupid pig of Dahn, how could they have done so many things quietly in the workhouse.

That Professor Wayne is also a good person, always showing up at the workhouse when he needs it most, so that he can let him escape safely.

He has a strong sense of justice, but he helped a demon escape from trial. Will he collapse immediately when he knows the truth?
Bud is very satisfied with the script he has compiled. The real devil should be as cunning and deep as himself.

For some reason, the figure of the young baron appeared in his mind at this time.

Obviously, I didn't detect any dangerous aura from him, but I always felt that he was a bit weird.

"Am I overthinking it?"

Bud murmured, looking at the dark night in front of him, his eyelids suddenly jumped wildly, his whole body seemed to be struck by lightning, his cerebral cortex was itchy crazily, and an unprecedented premonition of danger struck!
Without the slightest hesitation, he jumped down from the third floor, ready to abandon his identity as the new director of the poorhouse and stay away from here completely!

A click.

It sounded like something was breaking apart.

Seeing that he was still on the third floor, Bud's face changed suddenly, "Nightmare, the Nighthawk of the Church of Evernight!"

Damn!

Where did I show my flaws!

He didn't have time to think about it because he was surrounded.

……

At night, Hastur looked towards the direction of the sunrise workhouse in the wharf area, and murmured: "I will also write a script for you, which should be enough to bring this story to an end."
