Mystery: The Stars Returner

St. Mary's Hospital is a large hospital located in the West District. The people who come here to see patients are either rich or powerful.

At the gate, Hastur passed by in a carriage and opened the curtain of the carriage to observe the specific situation of the hospital.

According to the information provided by Will, Earl Gill will die in St. Mary's Hospital tonight, and the bed he is currently in is in the fifth ward from right to left on the street side of the third floor.

Hastur didn't stop for much, he simply checked it out and asked the coachman to drive the carriage away. On the way, he also passed by the place where Klein's Nighthawks team was.

This was what the Nighthawks team told him the last time they came to ask for his help.

Hastur measured the distance between here and St. Mary's Hospital, silently calculating the time it would take to get there.

Tonight, he wanted to snatch Count Gill's extraordinary characteristics, and he needed to fight with the people from the Church of Steam and Mechanics. Once the fight lasted too long, it would easily attract the attention of the nearby Nighthawks team.

"It's not a big problem."

Hastur felt that his invisibility technique should be able to defeat him quickly.

In a ward at St. Mary's Hospital at night.

Earl Gill, whose life was about to come to an end, stretched out his trembling fingers to scold his unworthy children and grandchildren, but in the end he did not have the strength. His palm fell on the white quilt and his eyelids closed heavily.

Soon, a sad cry came from the ward.

The cries were very mixed, and there were so many people crying that the ward could no longer be crowded. Many people stood outside the hospital corridor and shed tears silently.

Among the bursts of crying, there were also a few angry curses. It was Count Gill's former friends who were teaching Count Gill's unscrupulous children and grandchildren.

Max Livermore was once the captain of a mechanical heart team responsible for guarding the Russell Memorial Exhibition. Due to poor performance last time and some personal family reasons.

During this time, he has been taking on tasks outside to keep himself busy so as not to worry about those annoying things.

This Earl of Gill was also a cleric of the Church of Steam and Machinery when he was young. He left the church in his thirties and began to mingle among the powerful circles of Loen.

It took 20 to 30 years to be promoted from an ordinary baron to an earl, and he was a very good man. The only place where he failed was in the education of his children and grandchildren.

He had a son in his later years, and he only had one son. His overly pampering education turned his son into a second-generation ancestor who only knew about eating, drinking and having fun.

This time, he even secretly took out the land deed from his home to gamble. After hearing the news, Earl Gill was already in poor health. He was so angry that he was admitted to the hospital.

While he was hospitalized, his son and grandson were left unchecked and continued to live, drink, gamble and have fun outside, and finally succeeded in driving Count Gill to death.

Before Count Gil was dead, he received news that he was asked to lead two team members to recover the extraordinary properties of Count Gil after his death.

In order to show the humane side of the church's law enforcement, he stood outside the door and waited for half an hour to cry inside before leading his team members inside and temporarily persuading relatives and friends in the ward to leave.

He closed the doors and windows, and then began to extract the extraordinary characteristics of the corrupted baron from Count Gill's body.

This extraordinary characteristic is not only the Sequence 6 Corrupted Baron extraordinary characteristic, but also includes a total of four extraordinary characteristics of the Sequence 9 lawyer, the Sequence 8 barbarian, and the Sequence 7 briber.

The value alone is enough for several thousand gold pounds. Count Gill deliberately left his extraordinary characteristics to the church during his lifetime, so that the church could help his descendants a little in the future, even though his descendants were very unsatisfactory.

After the extraordinary characteristics were separated out one by one, Max Livermore asked the team members to save and seal each extraordinary characteristic separately to avoid possible extraordinary spread of infection.

This process is quick, only about ten minutes.

Compared with the tasks they had performed in the past, the task of recovering extraordinary characteristics seemed very simple.

Max Livermore came to the window and scanned the outside slightly to prevent anyone from peeping in secret.

Nowadays, there are too many Extraordinaries in Backlund, and there are more Extraordinaries who dare to take risks.

If they knew there was such a big gift in the hospital tonight, they would definitely come smelling it.

When the four extraordinary characteristics were separated and stored, the surroundings were still silent. Max Livermore also let down his guard a little. He carried the safe containing the most important Sequence 6 Corrupted Baron's extraordinary characteristics, and the other three were taken from his Teammates keep it.

After finishing the work, he led the team members and performed a ritual of the Church of Steam and Machinery towards Count Gill, who had closed his eyes on the hospital bed. This was a blessing and a farewell.

While they were saluting, Max Livermore suddenly saw a golden sword slashing towards his arm holding the safe!

The speed was so fast that he subconsciously wanted to retract his arm, but he frowned slightly and instead of retracting his arm, he shouted "Iron Arm".

A white and silver bracelet was exposed on his wrist. It flowed like mercury and covered Max Livermore's entire arm, blocking the golden sword.

Click!

Although his arm was not cut off in response, the white and silver bracelet cracked directly, and his whole body was swept away by a huge force.

When the two opponents on the side saw this, they also hurriedly activated their extraordinary weapons to restrain the attacker.

But in their eyes, they could only see a big sword attacking their captain, and could not see the location of the attacker at all.

At this moment, their captain was kicked out again, and the safe he was holding in his hand finally came out.

"captivity!"

One of the team members threw a small round ball, which emitted lightning and formed a small thunder prison, protecting the safe inside.

At the same time, another team member, wearing a light gray ring on his right index finger, transformed into a crossbow, and he was aiming upwards with his big sword.

It's a pity that the big sword smashed the small thunder prison into pieces with just a slight swing. As for the crossbow arrows fired at it, he didn't even dodge.

A figure wearing armor, whose face could not be seen clearly, came out of the invisibility state and walked straight over to pick up the safe.

"damn it!"

Max Livermore climbed up from the ground, his face full of anger, he took out a pocket watch from his arms and threw it towards the mysterious figure.

The golden hands in the pocket watch moved, and the surrounding time seemed to be suspended for a moment, and then began to rewind.

But the mysterious figure just took the safe in his hand and swept it around, then swept the pocket watch onto the opposite wall.

The time that had never started to be traced back was set in order and began to flow again.

Another team member took out his pistol at this moment and prepared to shoot.

"Don't shoot!"

Max Livermore hurriedly spoke out to stop him. Due to the commotion in the ward, the people waiting outside the door were afraid of something happening and hurriedly opened the door.

If a gun is fired at this time, it is not certain whether this mysterious man can be left behind. Those people outside will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Among the people who came to the hospital to see Count Gill tonight, there were many nobles.

Not daring to shoot, the two members and Max Livermore rushed forward to prepare for hand-to-hand combat. They were familiar with the use of extraordinary weapons, replacing weapons such as guns and crossbows with electric batons, swords, and iron gloves respectively.

At this time, a bloody vortex formed around the mysterious figure.

The blood of people around you flows out of the body uncontrollably.

"what!"

"How is this going!"

"Go find someone to help!"

The people waiting outside the door finally reacted, but because there were so many people waiting in the corridor outside the door, chaos soon arose once the situation occurred.

That mysterious figure ran rampant like a barbarian, knocking several people away in succession, and then quickly disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

Max Livermore and the other three calmed everyone down while hurriedly chasing after them.

But when they chased them around the corner, they could no longer see the trace of the mysterious figure.

Max Livermore looked at the deserted and quiet hospital corridor, his face turned blue, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Captain, are you still chasing me?"

"Chase!"

Max Livermore suppressed the irritability in his heart, left one team member here to take charge of the overall situation, and led another team member to chase out.

But from the time they walked from the corridor on the third floor to the lobby on the first floor, and even outside the hospital, they didn't see the mysterious figure again.

And they asked the staff inside the hospital, and they all said that they had not found any suspicious people.

Only those who experienced the turmoil in the corridor at the entrance of the ward on the third floor clearly saw the mysterious figure.

Invisibility?

An invisibility technique that can conceal the whereabouts of spirits!

Max Livermore thought for a long time with a dark face, and finally figured out how the other party lurked in the ward without alerting anyone, and how he managed to completely disappear after just passing a corner.

Ordinary people cannot turn on their spiritual vision and cannot see the spirit bodies of extraordinary people. As long as they hide the spiritual vision of fellow extraordinary people, they can achieve the effect of invisibility.

Although he already knew the principle, he couldn't figure out how the other party did it.

Because he can't do it, many extraordinary people can't completely hide their spiritual bodies.

"Captain, what should we do next?"

Max Livermore rubbed his sore eyebrows and waved his hand: "Send the report, and then draw a portrait of the mysterious figure to see if you can find relevant information from the church's database."

"Count Gill's relatives and friends want us to give me an explanation. How should we answer?"

"Tell them that there was a thief hiding behind the curtain just now, preparing to commit theft. He ran away after being discovered by us."

Max Livermore patiently began to deal with the aftermath.

After doing all this, he collapsed on the bench in the hospital corridor.

Why did he encounter such bad luck again?
