Mystery: The Stars Returner

Maric looked stunned. Finally, after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm also willing to pay half of the reward!"

"Ah."

Sharon narrowed her eyes and nodded calmly.

Hasta, who had been secretly paying attention to Sharon's expression, smiled secretly in his heart. He clearly noticed that Miss Sharon's breathing became a little faster for a moment.

You don't even need to ask for it, you can get 1000

The huge reward of gold pounds, and she hadn't even started a fight with the other party, which meant she got a huge sum of money for free.

This made Sharon look at Hastur a little more kindly.

She knew that Hastur did this, firstly, to sincerely thank her for blocking Mr. A for him tonight, and secondly, to give herself a favor.

"If you need help, you can ask Maric to notify me."

Sharon thought for a moment and made a commitment.

Hasta smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Miss Sharon."

"What happened?"

Maric stared blankly at the scene in front of him. He always felt that something was wrong with these two people.

……

A week later.

At the lake, a new wooden house was built. The small wooden house has two windows and one door. People will not feel bored at all inside.

In front of the door of the wooden house, there are two bamboo poles with a pole crossing them, with more than a dozen fish hanging from them.

Outside the door, Hastur sat on a piece of bluestone, using earthworms as bait and patiently fishing in the watery lake.

Also acting as a fisherman like him is Maric and his zombie team.

Although living zombies are not very intelligent, their unparalleled patience makes them good fishermen.

In the two fishing competitions that have been held, Maric's zombie team won both times.

Hastur leisurely enjoyed the beautiful time alone in nature, but secretly sighed in his heart that such a barbarian performance was still a bit lacking.

During this period of time, he tried his best not to use modern tools and lived here in a more primitive way. He also built a small wooden house on a whim.

But the barbarian's magic potion digestion speed is not fast, even a little slow.

This made him realize that it would be very difficult for him to digest the barbarian potion through such a performance.

I need to find new ways to play.

He once again summarized the barbarian playing rules and felt that his current situation was that he did not interact with the rules and order.

Living in the wild all the time can only make you a savage, not a savage.

The true barbarian shows his disobedient, rebellious and rebellious side when faced with the inherent rules and order.

To successfully play as a barbarian, you need the help of rules and order.

Only in the urban area of ​​Backlund, in crowded places, and in aristocratic circles, the stricter the rules and order, the faster the barbarians can digest the potion.

Still have to go back.

Hasta sighed and flicked his hand, and a crucian carp weighing about two kilograms was caught and was struggling.

"Your harvest today is not as good as mine."

Maric smiled and patted the fish basket beside him, which was simply woven with bamboo strips. There were already seven or eight big fish in it.

"I have to let you go once in a while, otherwise it would be too boring to win against you all the time, and it would make me lose any sense of accomplishment."

"Tsk, tsk, my skills are not good, but my tone is not bad."

"You can't even compare to your own living corpse, so you have the nerve to mock me?"

While he was talking, a group of zombies all turned around and stared at Maric, seeming to agree with Hastur's words, which made Maric embarrassed.

"Just the two of us, within one hour, let's see who can catch more fish."

Mali

Qi said this and poured all the fish in the fish basket into the lake.

There were so many fish caught recently that it was impossible for him and Hasta to finish them all.

"Come, let me show you how powerful the fishing master is."

Faced with such an invitation to fight, Hastur had no reason to refuse.

Just as the gambling game between the two was about to begin, Butler Neil hurriedly came through the dense forest path.

Maric swung the fishing rod, knowing that today's bet was a no-win.

"What happened? Is it another invitation from Earl Richard?" Hastur slowly put away the fishing rod and fishing line.

In the past few days, Earl Richard has been wanting to invite his neighbor to visit his manor. After being politely declined, he has repeatedly proposed to visit him.

Hastur did not want to let this generous earl know his identity for the time being, and who knew whether his so-called master was still meeting him in his dreams recently.

"There are two letters, one from Mr. Greg and one from Lecturer Foren of Backlund University. They are urgent."

"Let me see."

Hastur took the two letters handed to him by Butler Neil, put one on his lap and opened the other.

There was nothing important in Greg's letter. He just asked what he was busy with recently and why he hadn't come back yet.

At the same time he was informed that his weekly salary at the Bank of Bavaria had been increased from £10 to £15.

Hastur had just received a huge sum of 500 gold pounds not long ago, so he has become somewhat immune to this salary increase.

Put away Greg's letter, then open Lecturer Foren's letter.

This letter is long, but it has only one main message.

Professor Wayne went missing at the Sunrise Workhouse and there has been no news for three days, so he needs help.

Hasta's face was solemn. He stood up and told Butler Neil to go back and prepare the carriage, as he wanted to go back immediately.

"Did something serious happen?" Maric looked at him curiously.

"Well, it is indeed quite large. Are you interested in going with me to the Sunrise Workhouse in the dock area?"

Hastur made the invitation, and with Maric by his side, it would be easier and safer to resolve the issues at the workhouse.

If the matter wasn't so urgent, he really wanted to teach Professor Wayne a lesson.

Why did he insist on going to that workhouse for no reason? I had told him long ago that it was not a good place and that Vice Dean Bud was not a good person either.

Now, this time he's really missing.

"Well, I have nothing to do, but I have to make arrangements for my guys first."

Maric nodded in agreement and watched Hastur leave.

After spending some time together, the relationship between the two became even better, and he would not refuse to help wherever he could.

Soon, Hastur was the only one riding in the carriage.

He had already told Maric the destination this time, and Maric would go there on his own way, and the two agreed to meet at a tavern in the dock area.

As for Lecturer Follen, he was already waiting in the workhouse.

"I didn't expect to have to go to the workhouse again."

Hastur had always been wary of the Sunrise Workhouse. He had noticed something strange about it the last time he visited the workhouse.

However, at that time, he was only a Sequence 9 lawyer. He did not have much ability to protect himself, so he did not dare to investigate too deeply.

This time, with Maric accompanying him, and with myself at Sequence 8, I should be able to completely resolve all the issues in the workhouse.

Hastur slowly closed his eyes and began to deduce the various possibilities of the abnormality in the orphanage in his mind.

According to the information he received, Dean Daen, who had escaped into the secret passage, had died, holding a box of gold coins.

After investigation, the police believed that Dean Dan was so scared that he was frightened to death, but he did not believe this statement.

Dean Dan was most likely murdered, just like old Jeff before. Their deaths were caused by knowing too many secrets.

The person who could have done all this behind the scenes is most likely Vice President Bud.

And Dean Daen's dream of planting gold coins and growing golden trees may have a deeper meaning.

If planting gold coins can really grow golden trees, then what will grow into them if you plant children?

Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.

Chapter 62: Secret Passage and Secret Room, a Corner of Fate

Docklands, Sunrise Workhouse.

Professor Folan stayed in the house where Professor Wayne lived the night before he disappeared, and there were two police officers nearby who were investigating various suspicious places.

"Teacher, where are you? Are you kidding me, or are you really missing?" Lecturer Foulun was worried.

He only received news from the police on the second day after the teacher disappeared. It was said that someone from the workhouse went to the police station to call the police, and then the police notified him.

After receiving the news, he rushed to the workhouse quickly. After fully understanding the information the police had, he quickly sent a letter to Mr. Hastur on the third day.

As a lawyer, he often interacts with the police. He knows that in cases such as disappearances, if the missing person is not found within five days, it is basically a disaster.

Now, there are only two days left before the five-day time limit, and I hope it's not too late.

The sun was setting in the distance, and darkness began to cover the entire workhouse.

Several police officers responsible for the case left two police officers to investigate in the workhouse, while the other officers went back to rest first.

At night, the night breeze was slightly cool. Lecturer Fulun stayed alone in his room, locked the door, and did not dare to go out at will, for fear that he would suddenly disappear accidentally.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

There was a knock on the door, and Lecturer Foulun in the room immediately stood up from the bed, clutching a silver-plated cane, staring in the direction of the door with caution and panic.

Trying to calm down, he said with a trembling tone: "Who, who is outside?"

Boom boom boom!
