Chapter 289: The Lamp God: I Just Want to Return to the Stars

"Master, that paranoid seems to have left. I can no longer sense His gaze filled with desire."

"It's this box. As long as I stay beside this golden box, it automatically shields me from His prying eyes!"

"This is truly a wonderful thing. I really want to make this golden box my new resting place, but every time I have this thought, I feel a wave of fear."

"Oh my, what exactly is contained within this box? I don't dare to peek. My strong survival instinct tells me that if I try to take a risk, I might die, and it would be a terrible death."

"I'm not as cowardly as Ince Zangwill. It's just that I still need to accompany my master. I can't joke around with my safety. This is a self-awareness that a qualified servant should have."

When Hastur opened the pen case, 008 couldn't wait to write several paragraphs on the blank paper.

Hastur read through it from beginning to end and said lightly, "Then you should stay by this golden box from now on."

"Oh merciful master, placing an ice cream next to the sun, even if the sun has no malice, the ice cream still cannot withstand the sunlight. Over time, it will naturally melt."

Hastur glanced at the Book of Prophecy beside him, "I can place it with you as well."

"...This is a huge temptation, but dear master, please allow me to refuse. No matter how perfect love is, it cannot shake your position in my heart. I just want to stay quietly by your side now."

Hastur raised an eyebrow, no longer paying attention to 008, who had completely adjusted its position, and placed it into the pen case, then took away the golden box.

For this item, Hastur currently did not want to stay too close to it. It was better to worship it from a distance for now.

### Night

Sharon, who received Hastur's message, returned to the ancient castle. She knew that Hastur must have encountered an unimaginable strong enemy today, but she did not ask.

Because she couldn't help much.

She just said calmly, "Around early March, the ship carrying the mummy will arrive at Puning Port."

### At Sea, Aboard the Dawn

Bernadette finally met the legendary figure who had been roaming the seas recently.

He appeared suddenly on the deck of the Dawn, silently, like a ghost easily penetrating the outer defenses of the Dawn.

The first person to discover Him was a crew member walking on the deck.

At first, the crew member just felt that this person was very unfamiliar, then called the third mate on board.

The third mate had seen His portrait and was so scared that he almost couldn't stand, then sent someone to inform Bernadette.

At the same time, the wishing lamp in the captain's cabin also began to glow, as if the lamp god sensed something.

Bernadette frowned, first strengthening the seal on the wishing lamp to prevent the lamp god from causing trouble, then prayed to the stars to report the situation, and finally put away the wishing lamp and came to the deck.

"Follower of the stars, no need to be so nervous. I came to deliver something for someone. Their actions are too slow, and I happened to pass by, so I did a good deed."

The high-dimensional observer's tone was unhurried, but his gaze seemed to pierce through everything.

Even though Bernadette had put away the wishing lamp, it still couldn't avoid His prying eyes.

Seeing the lamp god tightly sealed in the wishing lamp, He rarely showed a bit of pity, a feeling that probably stayed in His heart for a second.

Bernadette waved her hand to let the surrounding crew members retreat, took a deep breath, and said solemnly, "What are you delivering?"

"A small card."

In the originally empty palm of the high-dimensional observer's right hand, a blasphemy card floated.

The side with the image of Roselle's witch faced Bernadette.

"..."

Bernadette fell silent after just one glance, with only one thought in her mind: indeed, every witch's appearance is impeccable.

Even if it was transformed by a man.

What made her most difficult to accept was that Roselle's witch image bore some resemblance to her.

She tried to suppress her complex emotions, "This is not something I deserve."

"This is a reward from the stars to His devout follower." The high-dimensional observer smiled as the witch card floated in front of Bernadette, "But you don't seem to be that devout."

"The stars don't mind." Bernadette reached out to take the witch card, her fingers gently stroking the image of Roselle's witch.

The high-dimensional observer did not continue this topic but extended his right hand into the empty void in front of him. When he withdrew it, his right hand was holding the wishing lamp.

The sudden change made Bernadette's expression change slightly, her whole body tensed up.

She didn't even notice the actions of this uncrowned king of the sea!

Even though she had placed the wishing lamp in a small space within the triangular time and added several seals.

But these measures had no effect at all, not even a warning.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to talk to Him."

The high-dimensional observer signaled Bernadette to calm down. The wishing lamp emitted a dazzling light, and the lamp god finally manifested his figure on the surface of the wishing lamp.

"Hahaha..."

Seeing the wishing lamp in the high-dimensional observer's hand, the lamp god immediately let out a joyful laugh.

The high-dimensional observer also smiled, while Bernadette remained vigilant and worried.

"I knew with your ability, you could definitely take the wishing lamp from Bernadette!"

The lamp god's voice was high-pitched, and his manifested shadow was more majestic than usual.

The high-dimensional observer's smile deepened, but he said nothing.

"Bernadette, I have given you many chances, but you always refused to send me back to the stars." The lamp god's manifested shadow looked down at Bernadette, his grand voice saying again, "Considering you are a follower of the stars, I won't hold past grudges against you this time. You should thank me for my magnanimity."

Bernadette remained silent, her gaze fixed on the high-dimensional observer, who was the most terrifying enemy tonight.

"Let's go, we return to the stars!"

The lamp god looked up at the sparse starlight in the sky, which was unprecedentedly brilliant in his eyes.

He didn't know how many years he had been in the wishing lamp, and now he finally welcomed the day to return to the stars.

The desire for completeness was burning fiercely, and he couldn't stay any longer!

Once he returned to completeness, he wondered if the Mother Tree of Desire and the Overlord of the Stars would dare to mock him again.

"You seem to have misunderstood something."

The high-dimensional observer's indifferent voice sounded, making the lamp god feel a sense of foreboding. He lowered his head and asked in a daze, "Didn't you come tonight to fulfill our agreement?"

"There is such an agreement, but you seem to have forgotten that there is a premise." The high-dimensional observer said mercilessly, but his face still wore a bright smile.

The lamp god was stunned for a long time, asking in disbelief, "Then why did you come tonight?"

"Naturally, to visit an old friend. I haven't seen Him for a long time, and I was worried about how He has been recently."

"..."

"Now that I've seen Him, He is still so spirited. Well, I should leave now."

Under the lamp god's desperate gaze, the high-dimensional observer returned the wishing lamp to Bernadette.

After taking two steps, He chuckled and said, "The starry sky over there is beautiful."

After speaking, He opened a portal and disappeared.

"..."

The lamp god stared blankly in the direction the high-dimensional observer left, not saying a word.

When Bernadette's gaze turned to him, he immediately dispersed his majestic shadow and hid in the wishing lamp.

Bernadette rarely refrained from mocking the lamp god, even though it was a good opportunity. At this moment, silence seemed more powerful than words.

After a long time, Bernadette put away the witch card and the wishing lamp, and sincerely sighed from the bottom of her heart, "Lamp god, you really are not welcome at all."

### ...

"Hahaha..."

When Hastur heard Bernadette recount the events of the night, he first expressionlessly took the witch card from Bernadette through a sacrificial ritual, then sent her away, finally unable to hold back his laughter.

The high-dimensional observer really knew how to play. He even joked with the lamp god about such a matter. Hastur really wanted to know how much shadow the lamp god's heart had at this moment.

It was probably filled, right?

No, there should still be a small area left for the lamp god to hide and cry.

"The fallen lamp god, everyone wants to step on him. It shows that in daily life, one should be kind to others. The lamp god's way of making enemies everywhere is a standard negative example."

Hastur sighed deeply about this.

After mocking the lamp god, Hastur focused on the witch card in front of him.

Roselle's witch image, he had been looking forward to it for a long time.
