Chapter 440 Real or Fake Hastur?
"You just said that there are many people walking around dressed like this late at night?"
Klein ultimately chose to avoid this problem by asking rhetorical questions.
"The Star Child is the best-selling mystery novel at the moment. There are always some people who have finished reading the book and like to embrace the mystery in this way."
"Mr. Hastur, you seem to know a lot about this?"
"Mr. Klein, you haven't answered just now why you know so much about the King in Yellow?"
There was a wry smile on Klein's lips, why did the boomerang fly back again.
"I just heard people talk about it."
Then Klein invented a non-existent person, gave Hasta Science some information about the King in Yellow, and then pretended to casually ask why Hasta appeared here.
"Adventure, the relics of Emperor Roselle have reappeared after his death, which are of great archaeological value. As a lover of Emperor Roselle's culture, how can I miss such an event."
Klein can still accept this reason.
During his adventure on the sea, he had met many crazy admirers of Russell. In order to decipher the mysterious text left by Russell, they were even willing to pay their lives for it.
The crimson moon had quietly disappeared without knowing when, and there were only a few stars hanging in the sky. The wisps of starlight falling down could only illuminate a small space in front of the eyes.
Klein's heart suddenly trembled, and he looked up at the figure in ragged yellow clothes who claimed to be Hastur.
The figure still looked blurry under the hazy starlight, especially the face. It was obviously not wrapped in ragged yellow clothes, but it still made it impossible to see the true face clearly.
This gave him a ridiculous idea.
Is the Mr. Hastur who is communicating with him in front of him really Hastur himself?
Or is it an illusion created by the King in Yellow to confuse himself?
He knew that he suspected that Hastur was related to the King in Yellow, so he deliberately appeared in front of him pretending to be Hastur?
If the Hastur in front of him is the King in Yellow, it would reasonably explain many coincidences.
The more Klein thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible. When encountering mysterious events, nothing could be speculated using common sense.
The alertness in my heart has increased several times again.
"Mr. Hastur, why can't I see your face clearly?"
When Klein asked this question, the destiny charm in the palm of his left hand was about to be triggered, and he was ready to fight.
"Can't you see clearly?" Hasta looked back and spoke in a deliberately erratic and depressed voice: "Then let me come closer and let you take a closer look."
"No, no need."
Klein tensed up and decisively refused the proposal.
"It's getting late. I still have matters to deal with. Mr. Hastur, please rest early."
When Klein wanted to leave, the lights on the entire street suddenly flickered, then returned to darkness, and the surrounding area fell into silence.
In this world with only scattered stars falling, the figure in tattered yellow clothes in Klein's field of vision seemed even more vague and mysterious.
"Mr. Klein, are you doubting me?"
The understatement made the surrounding temperature colder by several degrees. The inexplicable chill penetrated along the skin and penetrated into the flesh, and then invaded the heart.
Klein took a few steps back and said, "This is not suspicion. I just don't believe that Mr. Hastur will appear here tonight for no reason."
"Maybe I just came to catch up with you."
"Reminiscing about old times late at night, this way of meeting is too unique."
"Meeting is just meeting, it doesn't matter whether it's day or night."
"Then why hasn't Mr. Hastur rested?"
"Because I came to see you."
While the two were having a brief conversation, Klein was keenly aware that the shadows on the ground caused by the falling stars overhead were constantly flowing into the feet of the ragged yellow man.
Only then did he realize that the feet of Mr. Hastur in front of him, covered by ragged yellow clothes, were tentacles as black as ink.
It is they who are constantly greedily devouring the shadows and darkness around them.
Looking closely, Hastur's originally blurry face was now wearing a pale mask. There seemed to be countless tentacles moving under the mask, completely blending with his flesh and blood.
This scene made Klein's scalp tingle, because the real King in Yellow has such an image.
Phase comes from the heart?
Klein thought of this sentence for some reason. Could it be that he saw through the disguise of the King in Yellow and was able to see his true side?
Can't stay any longer!
Find a suitable opportunity to leave as soon as possible!
"Mr. Hastur, do you remember Leonard from Backlund? He is our mutual friend!"
Klein shouted deeply, and the silent atmosphere around him was instantly broken, and even the flowing wind stopped for a moment.
Klein seized this opportunity and ran back as fast as he could. At the same time, he pulled the pistol named Death Knell, and the sound of pistols resounded throughout the street.
He jumped far away in one breath, until the street that had lost its light for no reason suddenly lit up again. He stopped and calmly observed his surroundings.
Pedestrians were walking around, and the shops along the street were still open, and occasionally the sound of bargaining could be heard.
Although it was late at night, there was still a bit of excitement.
The ragged yellow-clothed figure in front of him had disappeared, and the chill he brought was also dissipating from his heart.
Sure enough, the person he was talking to just now was not the real Mr. Hastur, but the King of Yellow in a mysterious incident!
Klein stood there in a daze for a long time, until the pedestrians beside him started to talk about his alert appearance with the Death Knell pistol, he put away the Death Knell and left.
In the darkness at the end of the street, the ragged yellow-clothed figure disguised by Hastur also quietly disappeared.
This prank was more successful than he thought.
Especially the last part, when Klein began to doubt, he cooperated with Klein to create some mysterious and gloomy atmosphere.
This made Hastur already think about how he should veto his appearance here tonight when he saw Klein next time.
…
Audrey, who was awakened by Susie at dawn, opened the window, faced the morning sea breeze, and gradually regained consciousness. She also recalled that she went out alone with Mr. Hasta late at night last night. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she felt much more relaxed and happy.
The sea scenery that was almost tired of seeing seemed to be much more playful and lovely than usual.
"Audrey, can you take me with you next time you go out?"
Susie stretched out her front paws and lay at the end of the bed, with a face full of resentment and grievance.
It also wanted to go out and play, instead of staying on the boat all the time.
"No, Susie, you need to cover up my tracks."
"Audrey, this is not what you really said, you lied."
Susie's eyes suddenly became sharp, as if she could see through Audrey's heart, "You deliberately didn't let me follow you so that you could go out alone with Mr. Hasta."
"Susie..."
Dongdongdong.
When Audrey was about to find an excuse to fool around, there was a knock on the door outside, which made her suddenly forget Susie's question and get up to open the door.
The people who came were Xio and Fors, saying that there was another pirate group nearby that wanted to attack the Hope.
Soon, Audrey led Susie to follow Fors and Xio to the deck. Through the telescope, they clearly saw six ships in front, arranged in a semicircle, waiting for the Hope to enter their pocket.
Audrey also saw that this pirate group had its own exclusive flag, a pirate flag with white bones painted on it.
"This is the pirate group of Admiral Disease, one of the seven great pirate generals on the sea. Fortunately, Admiral Disease's exclusive flagship Black Death did not appear here." Xio, who collected a lot of information about pirate groups, explained in time.
Her eyes were shining. The pirate group without Admiral Disease was simply a bounty delivered to her door!
It was a golden coin that would shine in the sun!
Audrey put down the binoculars in her hand and handed them to Fors, who was also interested, and asked in confusion: "Are they coming for us on purpose?"
Xiu smiled and said: "I don't know, but no matter who they come for, it's a considerable bounty."
While they were discussing, Hasta also walked out of the room and came to the deck.
"Mr. Hasta, good morning." Audrey greeted him with a smile as always.
Hasta also smiled and greeted him. Xiu came over and reported to Hasta about the encounter this time.
The fleet of Admiral Tracy of Disease, are they here to find the missing Elaine?
Is it such a coincidence?
Wait, if so, wouldn't it be possible to enjoy the scene of Klein dressed as a woman?
Hasta's thinking, in the eyes of Xiu, Fors and others, seemed to be facing a problem. Could it be that Mr. Hasta was also afraid of Admiral Disease?
"Mr. Hasta, the Admiral Disease and her flagship Black Death are not here." Xiu reminded.
Hastur put away his thoughts and said with a smile, "I just remembered an interesting thing."
Yes, the interesting thing about Klein wearing women's clothes for the first time.
If Audrey is brought along when watching, Miss Justice can also see the other side of Mr. Fool's different interests.
