Chapter 168 Everything is under the gaze of the stars
A little after eight in the evening, Williams Street, West District.
The light of the crimson moon was scattered, and the originally lively street looked particularly different at this moment because of the arrival of a group of people.
"You want to catch me just because of you? You underestimate the protection of the stars for me!"
A figure in a black robe stood in the middle of the street, surrounded by a circle of members of the Night Watcher team. On the outer periphery, there were police officers setting up cordons to prevent strangers from breaking in.
"You are indeed a believer of the stars!"
"Recently, Backlund has been in a mess because of you believers of the stars. Now, there is finally a chance to catch you rats hiding in the dark!"
"I heard that someone is offering a large reward for you. I didn't expect that you, as a believer of the stars, would dare to show up openly!"
The scene that should have been a bloody fight was a bit strange at this moment.
The Night Watcher team had clearly surrounded the other party, but did not immediately attack the figure. Instead, they talked loudly, fearing that others would not know that they surrounded a believer of the stars tonight.
"Haha, you guys want to catch me?"
"The lack of respect for the stars will be the reason for your failure tonight."
"I'll stand here, no matter how many people you have, I can leave at any time."
"Because the stars will always protect me!"
The surrounded figure was not panicked, but full of confidence, as if the Nighthawks present were just a bunch of trash in his eyes.
The Nighthawks continued to taunt, and the figure still confidently retorted.
Klein, who is also a member of the Nighthawks tonight, really wants to find a crack in the ground to hide.
This is really embarrassing.
No matter Leonard's slightly exaggerated acting and tone, or the stiff cooperation of the Nighthawks.
Everything is wrong.
This is like the pretentious and face-slapping plot in some novels. Things that can be solved directly, both parties have to keep talking to each other.
It's nothing but embarrassment.
Klein is really glad that it's not him who needs to perform on stage tonight, otherwise he will definitely not be able to perform smoothly.
Leonard is really amazing. He gets more and more excited as he talks about the stars. He has completely entered the role of the believer of the stars.
After the two sides exchanged verbal battles for more than ten minutes, many extraordinary people appeared from the darkness nearby, broke through the blockade of the outer police officers, and came to the inner circle of Williams Street.
They basically disguised themselves to a certain extent. Some wore masks, some wore black robes, and some directly painted some messy makeup on their faces.
They had no awe of the Nighthawks, and their eyes were all staring at Leonard who was surrounded.
Whether it was the huge reward issued by Mr. A or the additional reward from others later, it was worth taking this risk.
As long as the believer of the stars was snatched from the hands of the Nighthawks, even if it was just a corpse, it could be exchanged for a large sum of wealth!
It can be used to promote to a higher extraordinary sequence, or you can be a rich man for life.
"The Nighthawks are doing business, and those who are not related should leave quickly!"
Kurt Dill, the captain of the West District Nighthawks, stood up and glanced at the strange extraordinary people who appeared around him.
"Star believers, we have been looking for them for so long, how could they leave just because of your words?"
"What about the Nightwatchers? The believers of the night are disgusting."
"Don't say so much, grab the people, whoever grabs the head will complete the bounty."
Soon, a big melee broke out.
Leonard, who was specially targeted, was not panicked when he heard that those extraordinary people wanted his head.
Since he came to act as bait and perform dangerous tasks, the church would naturally give him something to save his life.
"Stars twinkle!"
He deliberately shouted in the direction of the crowd, and then the starlight was shining around him, and the whole person disappeared from everyone's sight.
Some extraordinary people who were still hiding in the dark observed this scene, and finally believed that the people who appeared tonight were believers of the stars!
They could no longer suppress their greed and took action.
At the edge of Queens, Sivelas Square.
Leonard, who escaped from the encirclement by the twinkling of the stars, appeared here out of thin air.
The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he laughed loudly: "You think you can catch the believers protected by the stars? It's too good to be true."
"I am a believer of the stars. At night, the stars will give me a power that is difficult to defeat!"
"You are only worthy of watching my back from afar!"
After a round of ridicule, he strode towards the empty area.
After a while, seven or eight strange figures appeared around.
They seemed to have a tacit understanding and spontaneously formed a circle to surround Leonard in the middle.
"Why, you want to catch me too?"
Leonard glanced at them with contempt. He was not panicked about the dangerous situation of being surrounded again, but relieved.
Such a situation had been in their plan rehearsal.
The first time he appeared, even if he could attract some extraordinary people lurking in the dark, they should only be some small fish and shrimps.
After all, when the situation is not clear, there will not be too many people who really take action, but will choose to wait and see, waiting for the critical moment to take action.
So in order to lure out these real troublemakers, they decided to lure the snakes out of their holes again.
This is the real encirclement tonight!
Leonard wanted to continue to taunt, but suddenly felt that a powerful Beyonder was coming through the spirit world.
A big fish has been caught tonight!
And there is more than one!
He couldn't be sure if there was a Sequence 4 demigod, but there must be a Sequence 5 strongman!
"I won't play with you anymore."
Leonard lowered his head and smiled. His mission was completed. Now it was the turn of the Red Gloves Team and the church staff to deal with these Beyonders who had been exposed.
He tightened the black robe on his body, perfectly hiding his breath, and then he shouted: "The stars are shining!"
Accompanied by a burst of dazzling starlight, his figure disappeared again.
At the same time, the breath he left behind also disappeared.
This is a powerful seal given to him by the Church of the Goddess of Night.
There are three in total, one is a life-saving item used to perform space transfer, and the other is to simulate the light of the stars.
These two seals are used together, which is the so-called stars shining.
The last seal is the black robe on his body.
This is a cloak that can change form and hide breath, and is simply called the Night Cloak.
With the three seals on him, Leonard can face the dangerous situation tonight calmly.
…
Deep in the alley near the Brave Bar, Leonard changed the Night Cloak on his body into a black windbreaker, and walked out of the alley with a look of disgust.
The last time the stars were shining, he deliberately teleported farther away in order to avoid those extraordinary people hiding in the dark.
Who knew that this teleportation almost made him collide with a trash can, but fortunately he dodged in time, otherwise he would be covered with a layer of stench.
As he was about to walk out of the alley, Leonard lowered his head and murmured, "Old man, there are no powerful Beyonders spying on me in the dark now, right?"
"Didn't you act very brave just now? You are actually afraid now?"
"Ahem, I did that to make it more realistic."
"I see you are having fun acting."
"I am quite happy, after all, I just played a group of Beyonders who are much stronger than me."
Leonard couldn't help but raise his mouth when thinking about tonight's performance.
He felt that the time was still too short and the performance was not smooth enough.
If there is another chance next time, he will prepare more fully, and it is better to prepare a copy.
For example, how to speak to appear particularly arrogant and confident.
What actions should be used to show that you are different.
When using the twinkling stars, how should he provoke everyone.
"Haha, pretending to be a believer of the stars, if you really have something to do with the stars, don't regret your behavior tonight."
Leonard's mouth twitched slightly, and he hesitated for a while and said: "Old man, is it really that serious?"
"If you pretend to be a believer of the Lord of Storms, causing trouble everywhere, and being discovered by Him, will He send down a thunderbolt to kill you?"
Leonard whispered softly: "...I shouldn't be discovered."
"Look up."
Leonard looked up as he was told, and the stars in the starry sky flickered, like eyes that could blink.
"..."
Leonard's face was completely frozen.
Everything is under the gaze of the stars!
He shuddered, no longer having the joy and excitement just now.
If there is such a mysterious existence representing the stars, then all his performances tonight will be under His gaze.
"..."
Leonard was silent for a while, feeling heavy and depressed.
He looked up and glanced at the people coming and going on the street, as well as the bustling shops and bars.
He suddenly felt very cold.
"Let's go have a drink first."
Leonard looked at the bar next to him and walked in.
The Brave Bar, at this moment he needed to use courage to dispel the fear in his heart.
