Chapter 476 Tarot Club Newcomer, Mr. Star
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
Leonard looked out the broken glass window and fell into deep thought at the place that had been burned into a pile of black powder.
Now he really wanted to smoke a cigar to calm himself down, preferably one with thick tobacco leaves and a strong flavor.
What happened tonight was really beyond his expectations. He was like a spectator standing under the stage, and suddenly someone pushed him onto the stage to perform a drama that even he couldn't understand.
Although he didn't suffer any losses at present, he always felt a sense of panic in his heart.
The goddess of night, the fool, the stars, did they really look at him?
Then who pushed him out and performed this drama tonight?
Or, all of them?
Leonard suddenly smiled. Even if he knew the answer, what would it matter? It would only add to his troubles.
"Old man, don't you come out and say a few words tonight?"
"Misfortune is the beginning of good luck."
"That's how I comfort myself."
"This is not necessarily a bad thing."
"Is this true or false?"
"Hehe, if you want to act deep next time, stop your legs from shaking so much."
"Alas, I can't control it."
Leonard looked down at his shaking legs, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
He knew that he was definitely in big trouble tonight, and he hoped that there would be no big problems in the future.
In the Hall of Stars, Hastur was overlooking Backlund.
It can be said that half of what happened tonight was at his instruction.
When the yellow monks found the map full of names in the dungeon of the poorhouse, he fully understood the true purpose of the mysterious black shadow.
It was a spy from an Outer God from the stars. Its purpose was to find people who might be the stars. The Fool might also be within its scope of investigation.
This means that some Outer Gods are doubting the true state of the stars.
Before the stars completely ascend to the starry sky, it wants to solve the star host that has not yet grown up and is hidden in the initial barrier.
The host is like the relationship between the Lord of Mystery and Klein and other travelers on the source castle.
Those densely packed names are the suspicious objects in Backlund, and they all have more or less unusual sides.
After a series of investigations, it locked its eyes on the five names with red circles.
Klein, Dawn Downstairs, Leonard, John Jones, and himself.
Last night, it should have deliberately leaked the dungeon, thrown out the map as bait, and then took the opportunity to lock the most likely target.
Because under the strict search of the yellow monks, there is not much time left for it.
Hastur guessed its thoughts, and naturally couldn't let the gardener and the cook bring the map back to him.
Klein and Dawn Downstairs are the same person, a fool, and naturally can't be exposed to the eyes of the outer god in the starry sky.
The only suitable choices left were Leonard and John Jones.
Hastur originally wanted to choose John Jones as bait, but this person did not exist at all. Will deliberately pushed him out to protect himself from disaster.
So, his only choice was Leonard.
So the next day, the map appeared in Leonard's office and successfully fell into Leonard's hands. The mysterious black shadow did use it to find Leonard, which happened to fall into the trap that the yellow monk had already set up.
This is what has happened so far.
Everything is going well, but it's a bit hard for Leonard, but who made him pretend to be a believer of the stars, this time it's his apology.
As for the Outer God Old Day outside the starry sky, Hastur has roughly understood the authority He holds.
His authority involves secrecy, fate, distortion, and corruption.
In addition, the mysterious black shadow appeared in the image of a big spider with a human face, so Hastur gave Him a code name: Spider Goddess Rose.
…
"Mr. Hasta, have all the problems been solved?"
On Sunday afternoon, in the garden of a villa in Queens, Hasta was drinking tea and chatting with Audrey, while Susie was lying at Audrey's feet, gently shaking her big golden tail.
"Yes, it's solved." Hasta nodded and smiled, "It's all thanks to the wonderful inference of Detective Audrey that things can go so smoothly."
"Really?"
"Of course, I'm thinking about how to thank Detective Audrey for her key role in this case."
"And Susie." Audrey mentioned Susie's name, and Susie followed and barked.
"Susie, what other books do you want to read recently?"
Hasta looked at Susie lying on the ground, but before Susie stood up to answer, Audrey spoke first: "Mr. Hasta, Susie has been greedy recently, you should prepare some delicious food for her."
"Is that so? Susie." Hasta gave Susie a look.
"Woof." Susie understood instantly and nodded to acknowledge what Audrey said, trying to fool Audrey first.
Audrey smiled and was in a good mood, and Susie also wagged her tail and was in a good mood.
…
Monday, 3pm.
When Leonard finished his daily work in the morning and left, he told the team members that he had something to deal with in the afternoon.
Since one o'clock in the afternoon, he has been alone in the bedroom of the house he was assigned, waiting anxiously, and occasionally glancing at the time on the clock on the wall.
When the hands of the clock gradually approached three o'clock in the afternoon, he closed his eyes, took several deep breaths, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, and lay on the bed waiting for the call of the Fool.
Nothing unusual, he suddenly came to the gray fog, it was still the long bronze table, and the figure sitting at the head was still the mysterious and ancient Fool.
The only difference from the last time was that there were seven more figures around him whose specific appearances were unclear and as blurry as his own.
These should be the other members of the Tarot Club.
There were only seven people, less than he expected.
Leonard was a little flustered at first, but soon he gathered his mind and began to carefully observe other members of the Tarot Club.
"Mr. Fool, good afternoon."
Audrey also saw that the Tarot Club had added a new member this week, and she was very happy to greet Mr. Fool and all the Tarot Club companions.
"Mr. Star, a poet with a delicate and sensitive mind." Klein briefly introduced.
"Mr. Star, good afternoon."
"Good afternoon, beautiful lady."
Leonard didn't know how to address the girl in front of him who was greeting him, so he could only use "Ms."
"My tarot card is Justice."
"Miss Justice, good afternoon." Leonard immediately changed his address.
Seeing that Mr. Star stood straight and tense because he didn't know the others, he could vaguely see embarrassment in his eyes.
Audrey was very enthusiastic to introduce other Tarot Club members to him.
This Miss Justice is really nice.
Leonard sighed in his heart, and as Audrey introduced him, he also remembered the code names of other Tarot Club members.
The Hanged Man, the Sun, the Moon, the World, the Magician, the Hermit.
"Mr. Fool, these are the three diaries of Emperor Roselle that I owed last time."
Cattleya took the initiative to offer three diaries of Roselle, and Audrey and Alger also offered one each.
"Very good."
Klein began to carefully read the contents of the five diaries of Roselle.
Leonard, who had just arrived, saw that everyone suddenly stopped talking, so he sat upright, looking straight ahead, and habitually straightened his back.
This scene fell on Audrey, Alger, and Cattleya's eyes, and they roughly guessed that he should be an official.
Leonard, who was being watched by the public, tried to adjust his breathing and relax his body.
Fors, Derrick, and Emlyn did not originally cast their eyes on the newcomer Mr. Star.
Just seeing that others were looking at this newcomer, they followed suit, occasionally showing a thoughtful look.
It was not until Mr. Fool, who was sitting at the top, broke the silence that Leonard was relieved.
When entering the free trading and chat session, the world, which had always been taciturn, suddenly said: "Poet, I also had a poet friend."
The low and hoarse voice made Leonard's heart tremble subconsciously.
"He must be extraordinary to be Mr. World's friend?" Audrey took over naturally.
"He is a very trustworthy friend."
Klein controlled the world and said this, and he looked at Leonard deliberately, and then stopped talking.
Seeing that the world did not want to discuss this topic in depth, Audrey said: "Some time ago, a mysterious murderer appeared in Backlund. He wrapped three people into cocoons with spider silk and hung them on the Belland Bridge, which attracted a lot of attention."
"I have also heard about this case. The police seem to have not found the real murderer yet." Fors continued.
"Hehe, instead of believing that those stupid policemen will solve the case, I would rather believe that the homeless beggars on the street will be self-reliant." Alger sneered and mocked.
Leonard frowned subconsciously, and then said in a deep voice: "The mysterious criminal who committed the murder has been executed. The reason why the police did not announce it is that they do not want to cause unnecessary trouble."
"Is that so?"
Alger said softly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes looked up and down at the new Mr. Star, and he had roughly guessed his identity in his heart.
At this time, he subconsciously spoke for the police, which shows that he usually represents an official who maintains order and often cooperates with the police. He also chose the Star card, which means he should be a believer of the Goddess of Night.
Overall, if this Mr. Star is not a Night Watchman, he is a member of the Red Gloves.
Audrey and Cattleya also looked at the new Mr. Star thoughtfully.
The world had no expression on his face, but Klein almost put his hand on his forehead.
Leonard, Leonard, you just participated in the Tarot Club for the first time, and you basically revealed all your details.
