Mystery: The Star Key

"Dalot, what's the matter with you? Has something happened?" Altea asked with a frown. She seemed to be influenced by Igna, and her brows seemed to be cold in an instant.

Igna opened his mouth and paused, but in the end he didn't say a word. He said to Altaiya seriously: "I need a little time to think, you stay here for a while."

"Okay." Artea nodded immediately without asking why.

Igna waved to Madeleine and Octavius ​​who had been looking at them all the time, and showed a reassuring smile. Then, he looked down at the steaming hot potato soup in the bowl.

Igna recalled the sentences and answers during the divination at that time.

——“Within a week, I can successfully complete the promotion.”

This question has been answered in the affirmative.

——“Within a week, a suitable time to go home.”

From the second day of the divination day, starting from Monday, until Thursday is the time to go home.

Before today, Igna felt that there were no problems with the answers to these two divinations.

The results of these two divinations are connected together, as long as they return to the Abraham family within these four days, they can successfully complete the promotion.

However, the example I just gave with Altea reminded Igna.

If the so-called "suitable time to go home" needs to meet the condition of "successfully complete the promotion within one week", the train that leaves on Thursday night cannot meet this condition.

The latest time to "can be promoted within this week and complete the promotion" is tonight.

The Wednesday night train leaves on time, so Igna will be back in Aalto on Saturday morning. The fastest, after a day off, can wait for the elders sent by the family to investigate on Sunday.

But tonight's train must not be able to leave on time, since Wednesday and Thursday did not meet the condition of "be able to successfully complete the promotion within a week".

So why are Wednesday and Thursday being divinationd as "a suitable time of the week to go home"?

Thinking of this, Igna felt his heart beating like a drum.

The words of Esme's warning began to echo in his ears.

"Be in awe of your destiny. Don't think that if you control the results of the divination, you control your destiny."

"Divination is not everything."

……

Igna took a deep breath and calmly pinched himself under the tent.

Force yourself to calm down and continue the analysis.

If the result of the first divination is because the premise is that you need to take the train on Tuesday, return home within this week, and complete the family inspection and promotion...

So, Wednesday and Thursday were the "appropriate" days to go home, what "disaster" was avoided so that he could be promoted smoothly?

Igna did not forget the astrology that appeared during the initial divination.

——In the next month, the "promotion" problem facing Igna will be resolved.

——However, the red star in the Harvest Palace, which represents the event completion, is opposed to the Yingxing in the Thunder Palace.

——The disaster brought by "Yingxing" destroyed the original harmonious and beautiful astrology, and made every shining star fall into an extremely dangerous "disaster" pattern.

——"Yingxing" is far away, the red star of the snake harem and the blue star of the white frost palace, implying that stability and disaster are hidden.

……

The wind in the rainy night outside the window seemed to grow louder in an instant. The wind that kept hitting the tent seemed to hit Igna's back in an instant.

"Dalot, are you okay?" Artea asked softly.

Ignatius was awakened from his thoughts, and when he turned his head, he saw that the person beside him was cold, but his sapphire-like eyes inadvertently revealed concerned Altea.

"...Tonight..." Igna said, only at this time did he want to realize that his voice was terrifyingly hoarse.

"Clap clap clap-"

Outside the tent, someone's footsteps sounded hurriedly.

"Hello, is there anyone? Can you hear me? Can we come in to avoid the rain? The rain is too heavy." A voice came from behind the rain curtain.

Ignat couldn't help standing up, and he didn't pay attention. The hot soup in the bowl splashed out, scalding Igna's hand.

"No...Ow!" Don't answer.

Ignatius' words were blocked by Tang Hot, and before he could finish speaking, he heard Dane answer.

"Okay, no problem. Here we go!" Dane replied and ran to the door, only to turn around after hearing Igna's words.

"What's the matter, Dalot? What do you want to say?" Dane showed a puzzled expression.

Igna's heart couldn't help beating wildly.

It may be said that it is the shadow of the cup bow and snake, or that it is the sound of the wind.

The fate that Esme had foretold for him before made him feel uneasy about what happened at this time.

Is the thing that is calling the door safe now? Are human beings capable of making sounds? Could it be the "disaster"?

If there is something in the occult sense outside the door, does Dane's answer just now establish a connection with it?

Relevant esoteric knowledge flashed through his mind quickly, Ignat took a deep breath quietly, calmed down, waved to Dane and Tim who were about to open the door, and called them over.

Seeing that Igna's face was a little serious, although Dane and Tim were at a loss, they still walked over obediently.

After sorting out his emotions, Igna lowered his voice and asked, "Dane, Tim, don't you think it's too strange that there are still people on the road at this time?"

"What's so strange?" Dane and Tim wondered, "It's raining so hard, isn't it normal to ask for help?"

"We are at least two hours' drive away from Thun and Conston." Artea walked over to Igna and answered the question for him, "It's raining so hard outside, who is still there? Outside?"

Both Dane and Tim were stunned, as were Madeleine and Altaia, who came to listen after seeing Igna's gesture.

"Have you heard the legend of Bansey?" Igna added, "In Bansey, when the weather changes drastically, no one will open the door. Because in Bansey, during heavy rains, someone has seen flying heads~ www.readwn.com~ Some unwitting person opened the door on a rainy day, and then, he died."

"What... what?" Dane's lips trembled, and he suddenly stuttered.

"Bang bang bang-

"Clap clap clap-

The sound of knocking on the door suddenly began to rush. The thunderstorm and the sound of knocking the door fell on the door of the tent at the same time, mixed together.

"Hello! The rain is getting heavy again, can you please open the door quickly?"

The voice from outside the tent sounded to belong to a young man.

Although from the sound, there was nothing unusual, but the faces of everyone in the tent who had just heard Igna speak were slightly pale.

"But...but it's also possible that someone needs help, isn't it?" Dane asked with some stumbling. "This...this isn't Bansy either."

"So, before reaching out, you need to figure out the situation," Ignatius said. "But, remember, it's in an unfamiliar place, don't respond to any requests lightly," Ignatius warned.

"You're not malicious, but what if the other party does?"

"Then... what if I already promised?" Dane asked, shaking his mouth.

"I'll fix it," said Igna.

He patted Dane on the shoulder with one hand to appease, and with the other squeezed the Requiem in the cloak.

Although the Requiem is not the best solution to deal with resentful souls or cursed creatures, it is the most suitable thing that Igna can come up with.

Igna reassured everyone, then walked to the door.

"Kata."

Suddenly, Igna heard the sound of a shotgun being loaded from behind.

He turned his head and saw that Altea raised a gun at him.
