"Your name."
"Is there anything special about the name Dwayne Downstadt?"
"Before I returned to Backlund from South Wales, I saw that such a character would appear."
"Seeing through the future?"
"Just a glimpse into the future."
Hastur answered sincerely, and he did not lie on this question.
He had known for a long time that one day in the future, Klein would appear under the name Dwayne Downstadt.
When this name appeared, the persona was that of a wealthy man from Disi Bay. He naturally recognized this as Klein's disguised new identity.
"Mr. Hasta, people like you are really scary."
Ryan said with emotion.
He really couldn't figure out the young and handsome Hasta in front of him. His origins were mysterious, his purpose was also mysterious, and he seemed to understand himself very well.
"You and I have never been enemies."
"I hope so."
"That's right, no one can predict what will happen in the future."
Hasta dismissed the topic with a smile and began to chat with Klein about what happened in Backlund recently.
After chatting for about half an hour, Klein finally asked: "Mr. Hastur invited me to the banquet tonight. Isn't it just for small talk?"
Of course not, I just want to show off my wealth in front of you... Hasta smiled in his heart, but said: "In the next Backlund, there will be an unpleasant character, we There may be a possibility of joining forces.”
"Who?"
"Amon the Blasphemer." Hastur added, "Don't worry, he won't hear his name even if I call him here."
Klein's pupils shrank and he took a deep breath. He was no stranger to Amon.
If Amon really came to Backlund, he would probably not be able to hide his true identity at such a close distance.
"Is this also a corner of the future?"
"Well, I believe that day is not far away."
Klein was silent for a while and then asked curiously: "Mr. Hastur has a grudge against Amon?"
Hasta thought for a while and said, "You just don't like him. Do you think this is a sufficient reason?"
It's really a completely willful reason. Mr. Hastur doesn't seem to care that much about Amon, the King of Angels. There is only one explanation for this. Behind him, there is a god.
Judging from the performance from the beginning of contact to the present, his belief is definitely not the only six gods left today, but other mysterious and ancient existences.
The only ones who have been relatively active recently are the Stars and the King in Yellow, and these two should be the same being.
In other words, behind Hastur are the stars, and he is a believer in the stars!
Klein roughly guessed the identity of Mr. Hastur in front of him, but he didn't know how much he knew about him.
"If Amon really comes to Backlund, I will be happy to cooperate with Mr. Hastur." Klein gave his answer with a smile.
"I think we'll have a great time working together."
"I think so."
……
Since the Bellland Bridge case was announced to have been solved by the police, Backlund has been much quieter recently.
As the captain of a red glove team, Leonard has had a smooth career recently and has made many contributions.
With Hastur's secret information, he led his team members to destroy more than a dozen strongholds of the secret organization.
This includes the Moss Ascetic Order, the Aurora Order, the Witch Sect, the Twilight Hermit Order, the Secret Order...
The main ones were the Moss Ascetic Order and the Esoteric Order, and the one that shocked Leonard the most was the Twilight Hermits.
He could not have imagined that there would be so many important figures joining the Twilight Hermits organization behind their backs.
He was a little frightened at first, after all, this secret organization was very unusual, but when he asked the old man inside him, the old man let him go and do it, saying that he had already been paid attention to by so many beings, so what was an Adam?
He thought that this was the truth, so he
He treated everyone on the list equally and investigated them thoroughly.
The Church of the Goddess of the Night gave him great rights in this matter and silently cooperated with his actions.
After more than two weeks of this sweep, the entire Backlund became much quieter, and the number of rats who dared to show up again was much smaller than before.
Leonard also got the bounty for his meritorious service as he wished, and everything went so smoothly that he couldn't believe it.
"Old man, what you said before really makes sense. Misfortune is the beginning of good luck."
The old man in his body just chuckled and ignored the silly boy.
"Old man, why did you suddenly stop talking?"
"Oh, you really want me to say it?"
"You can say whatever you want, I'm blessed with good fortune and everything is smooth."
"Be careful when extreme joy leads to sorrow."
"Old man, I don't see where the sadness is..." Leonard's pupils shrank immediately, and he clearly saw where his sadness was.
The ageless witch Miss Selenophina was actually standing on the street below, waving to him through a window two floors away.
……
Earl Hall's house.
Mr. Hastur is going to be a guest at home tonight. He likes sweets, so he has to ask the pastry chef in the kitchen to prepare them in advance. But, will it be bad to eat too many sweets?
Audrey thought for a while, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly. She turned her beautiful emerald eyes, saw the time on the wall clock, put away all her thoughts, and returned to her bedroom.
In the corner of the bedroom, Susie, the big golden retriever dog, was lying on the ground, with her two front legs crossed, looking very elegant.
There was an open book in front of it, with lines of words densely written on it.
From time to time, Susie raised one of her front legs and fiddled with it to turn the pages of the book, reading very carefully.
Every time she sees Susie reading so seriously, she feels a little ashamed... Audrey, you can't relax in your studies, lest you be surpassed by Susie.
Audrey encouraged herself and slowly moved closer to get a clear look at the book Susie was reading.
When she saw the content clearly, her brows furrowed slightly. Susie quickly turned the page and covered the entire book. She moved forward slightly and covered the entire book with the cover under her body.
"Audrey, you're back."
"Susie, don't try to change the subject." Audrey pointed to the book that was already under Susie's body and asked, "Why don't I remember this book? Where did you find it?"
"..."
Just as Susie's sparkling eyes were about to turn, Audrey said first: "Earl Hall has not purchased any additional books recently. He only buys the books from the previous month at the beginning of the month. Books that just came out.”
"My eldest brother Hibbert, his study room at home is basically furnished. If he buys books, they are placed outside."
"..."
Susie couldn't think of a good reason for a while. She looked up at the time on the wall clock and said excitedly: "Mr. Hastur is coming soon. I'll go greet him."
After saying that, it ignored Audrey's suspicious gaze, held the book in its mouth, and hurried out.
"Susie, you are becoming more and more dishonest now." Audrey was already sure that the book was definitely not a collection in her home.
Mr. Hastur must have secretly bought it for Susie!
No wonder Susie agreed so readily last time!
"Mr. Hastur, huh, you are also being dishonest along with Susie."
Audrey pouted slightly and waved her fist slightly.
At the door of Earl Hall's house, Hastur, who had not yet gotten off the carriage, yawned for no reason, always feeling that something was wrong.
Chapter 479 The Prelude to the Battle between Cats and Dogs
Before Hastur got out of the car and walked into the door of Earl Hall's house, the big golden retriever Susie ran out from inside, giving Hastur a knowing look as he ran.
Well, was he caught peeking at a banned book?
Hastur instantly understood Susie’s look of help and signaled it not to worry.
Even though they were banned books, they were just some books that Audrey did not allow Susie to read. They were not forbidden knowledge.
"Wang."
Susie very obediently turned around and led Hasta from the front.
Entering Count Hall's house, Audrey and Countess Hall stood together. When she saw Susie, she raised her eyebrows slightly and secretly gave Hastur a small look. In front of Countess Hall, she did not Investigate Susie's secret reading.
After dinner, Countess Hall naturally asked Audrey to lead Hasta to visit the back garden. As for Count Hall, he did not come back for dinner tonight.
When the two were alone, Audrey pouted her lips slightly and pretended to be angry: "Is there something Mr. Hastur is hiding from me?"
"Susie likes it, so naturally I can only meet its small requirements."
Hastur betrayed Susie without any hesitation. This made Susie who was walking in front stiffen. She looked back at Hastur who betrayed her, and then fell to the ground in a funny way, curling up and looking prepared. The look of being struck.
"Look, Susie's miserable appearance is so irresistible."
Susie only felt another cold flying knife stabbed into her heart, and she couldn't help but let out a sad whimper.
"Okay, I don't blame you."
Audrey lowered her body and reached out to touch Susie, telling her not to be so nervous and worried.
"Wang..."
Susie whimpered, and secretly gave Hastur a look of understanding, and Hastur also made a scissor hand gesture towards it.
"Do you really think that I don't know that you are deliberately trying to mistreat me?" Audrey patted Susie on the head angrily, "You still want to join forces with Mr. Hastur to deceive me again, you should be beaten."
"Woo..."
In response, Hastur could only give Susie a helpless look.
