Lord of Mysteries: The Color of the Stars

Upon seeing this, Julian quickly pulled out a gold pound coin and flicked it upwards with his thumb.

"The people who were stalking Audrey Hall were hostile towards her."

Snapped!

When Julian caught the coin again, King George III's portrait was facing upwards.

In divination, this signifies a "positive" result.

Julian's face darkened. He couldn't ignore the situation; otherwise, there was a high probability that Audrey would run into trouble on her way home.

He couldn't call the police directly, otherwise Audrey's becoming an extraordinary person would come to the attention of the police, and she would run into trouble as well.

Julian discreetly slipped the banknotes into the black leather wallet that the waiter had already placed on the table, then picked up his sandalwood cane and walked across the street.

Miss Justice was completely absorbed in tension and excitement, unaware that someone was following her, and equally oblivious to Julian walking towards her from across the street.

Once she had completely entered the first-floor entrance of the office building, Julian finally stopped.

He pressed the tip of his cane against the ground and looked at the tall, thin young man who was following Audrey with a half-smile.

In Julian's eyes, the other party's astral body and spiritual body glowed normally, but the etheric body was clearly different from ordinary people, appearing full of vitality and life.

This indicates that the young man in front of him has likely taken a potion or magic potion that can enhance his physique and life energy.

When the young man saw Julian appear, he was clearly taken aback. Then, without hesitation, he turned and entered a nearby alley, seemingly preparing to escape.

"Trying to run away?"

Julian snorted coldly, swept past the oncoming pedestrians, and then strode forward into the alley.

As soon as Julian entered, he saw the young man running wildly.

This reaction made Julian even more certain that there was something wrong with the other party, so he also started running.

However, for some reason, even though Julian's physical abilities were beyond those of ordinary people, he still couldn't catch up with the young man, and was even being pulled further and further away by him.

"It really is a body-enhancing potion... Is it 'Hunter'?"

Thinking of this, Julian no longer hesitated, drew his pistol, and aimed at the young man's back.

"Bang!"

As the gunshot rang out, the young man seemed to have a premonition and quickly leaned his body to the right.

The dodge worked; the bullet didn't hit the young man's back, but grazed the outside of his left arm.

He then darted into a right-turn fork in the road.

Julian put on "Chris Jacob's Ring" as he caught up with him.

In an instant, many clues and traces became clear in his mind, and Julian realized that the fork in the road ahead was a dead end blocked by a wall.

Meanwhile, the young man was poised at the corner, ready to ambush him at any moment.

He snorted coldly, activated the ring's mental interference ability, and arrived at the corner of the fork in the road.

"call!"

Just as Julian had expected, the sound of the attack immediately reached his right ear.

However, he remained completely calm, simply taking a step back and effortlessly dodging the young man's attack.

Affected by the "mental interference," the young man was momentarily confused and stopped attacking.

"A great opportunity!"

Julian immediately pulled out the "Scholar's Legacy," aimed it at the young man, and then used "Live Scene Recreation."

The surging neon colors instantly spread, touching the young man and beginning to dye his right hand with brilliant colors.

Once Julian has successfully corrupted the young man, he can interrogate him without restraint.

However, the next second, something unexpected happened to Julian.

The young man, as if stimulated by something, suddenly shuddered and his eyes cleared again.

At the same time, having broken free of control, he began to retreat rapidly.

Although the burning pain in his right hand made the young man look extremely distressed, he still leaped up and, like a nimble cat, used both hands to grab the top of the wall and flip over.

The whole process happened extremely quickly; Julian had barely managed to draw his gun when the young man had already vanished.

"It's not easy to escape from the 'mental interference' of Sequence 7."

Julian was also somewhat surprised at this point; he had not expected this situation at all.

From all perspectives, the young man should also be a low-sequence extraordinary being, unless he possesses a mid-sequence seal that can prevent hypnosis and hallucinations, otherwise the current situation cannot be explained.

This also shows that this guy's background is anything but simple.

"Forget it, let's retreat first... The shooting just now should have alerted the police."

Although Julian had a legal gun license, it was still somewhat inappropriate for a foreign fugitive to fire a gun in a busy urban area.

To avoid getting into trouble, Julian took another narrow path and left, returning to the main road.

Immediately afterwards, he found a public restroom in a shopping mall and began to pray to Mr. Fool.

Although Mr. Fool has not yet formally informed Julian of his three-part honorific name, Julian, who possesses the ritual magic specialization provided by the Scholar's Legacy, has other ways to locate Klein through suggestive imagery such as "Gray Mist" and the name "Follower Fool," and to complete the prayer in a reasonable manner.

Sure enough, Julian soon saw the layers of gray mist appear before him, and he immediately began to pray to Mr. Fool:

"Dear Mr. Fool, please tell Miss Justice that the messenger who helped me deliver the letter said that someone wants to harm her."

"Next, she should stay in a safe and protected environment as much as possible and reduce the frequency of going out until she is sure she is completely safe."

"Praise be to you, Mr. Fool!"

Julian made no mention of what he had just seen and heard.

This is because he didn't want to tell Mr. Fool directly that he had met Ms. Justice in real life. After all, although the organizer of the "Tarot Club" had not explicitly stated any prohibitions on this matter, it was certainly not wrong to show caution.

Even if Klein might learn from Dunn that Julian had been to Backlund, it wouldn't matter much—because Klein's current understanding of "Source Castle" is very limited, so he would most likely turn a blind eye to it.

After doing all this, Julian returned to the inn where he had previously stayed, feeling relieved.

He casually glanced at the newspaper for a while, and after dinner, he took Ethan the owl with him and returned to Vincent's Grocery Store.

"Oh, you're here."

Vincent was excited to see Julian.

He immediately took out a crystalline stone and handed it to Julian:

"Look, is this what you wanted?"
