Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 584 Leonard digs a grave

Hobert suddenly yawned when he saw the familiar roof.

Under the warm sunshine, feeling lazy and with your lover by your side, this simply meets all the requirements for a nap.

But he couldn't sleep today, so he yawned again, arranged an altar to receive gifts, and obtained a method to use the "Insect of Time" to make a spell.

This knowledge also appeared directly in his mind. He only needed to "recall" it and the knowledge would appear immediately.

Forsi also struggled to get up: "I have to write a letter to the teacher."

Hobert packed up the altar, but found that she was lying down again: "Why didn't you write again?"

"I'll lie down and work out my ideas first, and then I'll get up and write when I'm ready." Forsi also yawned as he spoke.

"Oh." Hobert began to pack and prepare to go back to Backlund. He put on his coat and brought several documents about Long Tail Island that Fors had brought with him, as well as three coconuts.

Finally, I took my cane and went to see Forsi. The writer, who was thinking about how to write her letter, had already fallen asleep.

Hobert smiled helplessly, kissed Forsi's forehead, and then used "travel" to return to Backlund.

He came to the study, and as soon as he sacrificed 2 pounds in cash and the "Tyrant" card to "The Fool", the butler Dophis reported: "A gentleman named Leonard wants to see you."

Hobert was stunned and immediately stood up: "Take me to see him."

Soon, in a small reception room, Hobert met Leonard, who had black hair and green eyes, outstanding appearance, but a somewhat casual temperament.

He smiled and said: "It seems that the light bulb factory is very busy!"

"Fortunately, I shouldn't be as busy as you." Hobert smiled and said, "You seem to have something urgent to do with me? Why didn't you ask a messenger to deliver the letter to me?"

"Because the matter I want to discuss with you is very secret!" Leonard said with rare seriousness.

Hobert understood what he meant and asked Dophis to leave first. After the door was closed, he asked: "What's the matter?"

Leonard was still a little worried. He took out a silver dagger, built a spiritual wall, and then whispered: "I discovered a big secret today."

Hobert thought to himself: Could it be that he discovered that I had entered Chanis Gate?

On the surface, he said calmly: "What's the matter? Do you have to come to me in person?"

"Klein is not dead!" Leonard's expression at this time was very complicated, including relief, surprise, and confusion!
Hobert was very surprised: How could I have forgotten this? So, you have returned from digging graves in Tingen City?

Leonard took a deep breath: "When I got this inference, I was as surprised as you."

Hobert said "hmm", but he was thinking in his heart: Actually, we were surprised in a different way!
Leonard continued, "When I was sorting through old cases this morning, I got a photo of the so-called Detective Sherlock, who had just arrived in Backlund, and I accidentally discovered that he looked very similar to Klein.

“So I removed the glasses and beard of the person in the photo in my mind, and he was at least [-]% similar to Klein!
"I immediately re-investigated Detective Sherlock's landlord. When the great detective first appeared, he only put on a very simple disguise.

"Haha~" Leonard suddenly laughed excitedly: "Unless Klein has a twin brother, it's really hard to convince me that that's not Klein!

"At the same time, the time can also match up. The time when Sherlock appeared was a week after Klein's death in the line of duty, and Sherlock was also involved in the Lanerwus case.

"There were also the subsequent Capin case and the Backlund smog incident. He was all chasing the traces of Ince Zangwill."

Leonard clenched his fists in excitement, and finally concluded: "Sherlock is Klein, he has been looking for Ince Zangwill! He has never forgotten to avenge the captain!"

Hobert also started to perform at this time, as if he was aware of it and said: "You mean, Klein is not dead?"

"No, it's more likely that he was resurrected!" Leonard said: "I was present during the autopsy, and he was already dead!
“Before the case of the descendant of the evil god, I discovered that he seemed to be connected to a secret extraordinary organization.

"He must have really wanted to avenge the captain, so he was resurrected at the cost of sacrificing something important!"

Leonard looked at Hobert with a serious face: "Let's go to the cemetery in Tingen City to confirm."

"My God, you're not going to dig up Klein's grave, are you?" Hobert smiled bitterly inwardly: My God, this guy actually came to invite me to dig the grave with him. I really want to thank you. This kind of thing Good things are still on my mind.

Leonard took a deep breath: "If we don't confirm this matter, how can we reassure people?"

Hobert pinched his forehead: "You are right, I will ask the butler to book the ticket."

"Aren't you a Sealed Artifact with the ability to 'travel'?" Leonard was a little surprised: "You still want to take the train?"

Hobert sighed: "This, this news is so shocking, it makes me a little confused."

Leonard nodded: "It's understandable. When I just came to this conclusion, I almost fell down while walking normally.

"By the way, Mr. Butler, please bring some tools such as shovels and shovels."

Hobert had no choice but to get tools and use "Travel" to take Leonard to the cemetery in Tingen City.

After taking two steps in the cemetery, Leonard suddenly stopped.

Hobert glanced at the tombstone in front of Leonard. It was Old Neil's tomb.

He sighed in his heart: He was rescued twice, but he still couldn't be saved.

Then Hobert reminded Leonard: "Not everyone has a chance to be resurrected. Some people are dead when they die."

Leonard nodded: "I know!"

Soon, the two men came to Klein's grave and started digging.

At this time, there were many people in the cemetery paying homage to their deceased friends or relatives. They were somewhat surprised to see these two young men digging graves.

It's still broad daylight!They couldn't be robbing tombs, right?

Soon everyone came to their senses, said goodbye to their friends or relatives who were buried in the cemetery, and left quickly.

Before leaving, I didn't forget to take another look at the two young men. They were still working hard. Many people decided to call the police immediately!
Since there was no grave mound, Hobert and Leonard quickly dug the grave. The coffin inside was open, and there was nothing in the old wooden coffin.

Hobert sighed: He still vividly remembers the scene when he gave Klein a hand and helped him come out of the grave.

"It's true." Leonard slowly let go of the shovel in his hand and muttered to himself as he looked at the coffin.

"It seems that your guess is right." Hobert reached out and closed the coffin: "However, I think we need to keep this secret."

Leonard also came to his senses: "You are right!"

So the two men filled the grave again and returned to Backlund before the police arrived.

In the living room of the Earl's Mansion, Leonard took a sip of the already cold tea and suddenly said: "I know where to go to inquire about Klein's whereabouts."

Of course he was looking for Dwayne Dantès. Now he had serious doubts: Dwayne must know Klein!

Leonard looked at Hobert: "I will soon go to the Southern Continent with Ms. Daly's team. If there is news about Klein, what should I tell you?"

"Write a letter!" Hobert said: "My messenger is pretty good, and we have signed a contract. You don't have to worry about the contents of the letter being leaked."

"Okay." Leonard stood up and said goodbye.

Hobert added: "By the way, please contact Ms. Dai Li for me and tell her that I have something to do and I need to meet with her. It would be best if she can talk to her before she goes to the Southern Continent."

"no problem."

After seeing Leonard off, Hobert shook his head and smiled. He really didn't expect that he could also participate in the process of digging the grave.

Don't tell me, it's pretty cool, after all, it's digging the grave of the "fool"!
Returning to the study, Hobert sighed: Leonard is going to the Southern Continent, and Klein is also going to the Southern Continent. This means that Ince Zangwill’s death is not far away, and it also means that Klein will be promoted to half. God's opportunity.

He paused and then thought: If Klein writes a letter asking me for help, I will immediately go to the war. After all, I also want to give this old boy a beating.

Although he will meet Adam, he is here to take away "0-08", so he basically acts as a spectator in this event and there is no danger.

And you can also take this opportunity to talk to Adam.

The only thing that concerns Hobert is whether he should tell Ms. Daly the truth?
This is something Hobert was still hesitant about before today. With him participating in the battle, Daly will definitely not die in the battle, but there is no guarantee what Daly's condition will be like after revenge?
Just when he was digging the grave, Hobert made up his mind to tell Daly the truth and let Daly choose what to do next.

The next day, Tuesday, Hobert first received good news. A major breakthrough had been made in the manor's research laboratory!
The first is the research on the conversion of electrical energy and sound energy. The experiments have achieved many successes, and the method of converting the two has basically been found.

In other words, the world's first telephone was born!
In addition, major breakthroughs have been made in plastic research. Researchers have found additives suitable for plastics, which can now make plastics strong and durable.

This is the best choice for battery casing. It is non-conductive and corrosion-resistant, and is more suitable than the hard rubber currently used.

All these breakthroughs started on last Friday night.

After attending a party named Dwayne Dantès, the two researchers suddenly recalled some inspirations from long ago and thought they should try out these ideas.

So they conducted experiments overnight, and their inspiration turned out to be the correct experimental results they had been pursuing.

After receiving the news, Hobert not only immediately distributed rewards ranging from 100 pounds to 3000 pounds to relevant scientific researchers, but also expressed his feelings that his three "worms of time" were well spent.

Let’s not talk about the achievements of plastic. This is a material that is completely different from metal and wood and has a wide range of applications.

It won't rust, doesn't require paint, and is lightweight and durable.

As for the telephone, this is an epoch-making invention. Since the birth of the first telephone, it has meant that the spread of news has suddenly increased many times faster.

This change is enough to change the entire era.

At the same time, in the morning, Hobert also received a letter sent by Daly by courier, asking him to meet at St. Samuel's Church at two o'clock in the afternoon.

If he hadn't met Leonard yesterday and suddenly received such a letter, Hobert would have suspected that he was being ensnared.At 1:55 p.m., Hobert used "travel" to reach the street near the church and then strolled into the church.

Ms. Daly, who has green eyes, blue eye shadow and blush, gives off a coquettish beauty. She is already sitting on the church bench and seems to have just finished praying: "Long time no see."

Hobert also smiled and said, "Long time no see."

"I heard Leonard said you were looking for me?"

"That's right." Hobert didn't sit down at all: "Can you invite Ms. Dai Li to go to my territory? Well, I have something to ask you for help."

Dai Li stood up and smiled: "If I hadn't known that you were married, I would have thought you were looking for a reason to date me."

As the two of them walked out, Hobert asked, "Are you busy lately?"

"Now I have to travel to major cities in Loen, so I'm quite busy." Dai Li smiled: "Recent newspapers have been reporting on light bulbs. This is a brand new product."

She said: "I have done experiments and found that some spirits with very weak power are even afraid of the light of electric lights."

Hobert was slightly startled: "Is there such a thing?"

This was something he didn't expect.

Dai Li nodded: "After our research, light is very similar to sunlight."

Hobert, who had already walked to a deserted corner, raised an arm and smiled: "Maybe I should contact the Eternal Sun Church to see if they have any need for electric lights."

Dai Li took Hobert's arm and said, "I seem to have introduced you to a big business."

At this time, the space in front of the two people became illusory. Hobert took a step forward and took Dai Li into the spirit world.

One minute later, they appeared in the study of Lord Nan Colson's Mansion.

The courtyard where the study was originally located was destroyed during Hobert's battle with the "Black Knights" of the Aurora Society, and has just been rebuilt.

Forsi was already waiting here in advance: "Hello, Ms. Dai Li."

Dai Li smiled and said: "Hello, Countess."

Forsi knew that this was Hobert's friend, so he said, "Just call me Forsi."

Hobert took out a tea bowl from his arms: "I don't want to invite you to drink tea. This is a magical item."

He said: "This magical item can change your appearance. Well, you will need to change your appearance in a while. It is best not to make the change that any acquaintances will recognize."

Then Hobert said to Fors: "Help Miss Daly choose a dress with local characteristics. It is best not to have any Backlund-style dress."

After saying that, Hobert left the study and waited in the main hall of the front yard.

Daley in the study asked Fors a little strangely: "What exactly does Hobert want to see me for?"

She thought there were monsters like ghosts appearing in Hobert's territory and needed her ability to help.

Forsi smiled and said, "I don't know either. Hobert just told me to help you change your clothes."

In fact, when Hobert came in the morning, he briefly told her the whole story, but Forsi also felt that now was really not the time to tell Dai Li the truth.

Dai Li smiled and said: "If you hadn't come to help me change my clothes, I would have thought that Hobert had something in mind for me?"

"Ah?" Forsi was stunned. Isn't this Ms. Dai Li from Loen?Why do you speak so openly like those Loen people in the colony?
After changing their clothes and changing their appearance, the two of them went to the front yard to find Hobert.

Hobert nodded with great satisfaction: "Yes, if you hadn't come to me with Forsi, I would hardly have recognized you."

Then he said: "Ms. Dai Li, next I want to take you to meet an acquaintance. Maybe you have been thinking about him day and night, or maybe you have forgotten about him.

"But no matter what, in order not to break his peaceful life, please control your emotions."

Dai Li smiled and said: "You came to me so mysteriously, just because you want me to meet someone?"

"Yes, please come with me." Hobert used "travel" and took Daly to the roof of the building opposite the Special Operations Department.

It was not far from the afternoon class time, and Elliot and other team members went to the classroom in twos and threes.

The scorching sun was the most scorching at this time. Although Hobert and Daley were no longer afraid of heat and cold, it was still very uncomfortable to be exposed to the sun so directly.

Just when Dai Li was about to ask a question, she saw a familiar figure appear on the street.

Dai Li rubbed her eyes, thinking she had seen it wrong.

Take a closer look, it's really that person!

She suddenly felt cold all over and her whole body was limp.

Is this another hallucination?Is this a dream again?

If it was a dream, she wished it would be longer because she hadn't dreamed about him recently.

She is so lonely and sad. Has he forgotten her in the underworld?Otherwise, why wouldn’t you want to appear in your dreams?

Dai Li took a few deep breaths and was about to reach out her hand to call out to the other party, but Hobert said from the side: "I said, it's best not to disturb his peaceful life."

Only then did Dai Li see that he was smiling and chatting with the vendors on the street. While chatting, he also smoked a pipe. He was no longer as rigorous as before, and no longer as cold as before.

After chatting for a while, he looked at his pocket watch, said goodbye to the vendor, and came to the yard where the "Special Operations Department" sign was hung.

He casually greeted a few people in the yard, occasionally stopping to say a few words, and finally entered a classroom.

The students who had been waiting in the classroom immediately stood up. With a smile, he began to tell everyone something.

That smile was cheerful and sincere, not at all like the bitter smile he always showed when he was in Tingen City.

After looking at it for a while, Dai Li asked, "Can I take a closer look?"

She could feel that Dunn had a new life, and he loved his new life very much.

"Of course." Hobert said, "But you have to wipe your tears first and control your emotions."

Only then did Dai Li realize that tears had flowed all over her face. After wiping away the tears with a handkerchief, she waved her hand towards her chest and abdomen, where an illusory door seemed to open.

There was a little ghost that was the size of a palm and had a tiger-like head. It came out of the illusory door with its head peeping out. Dai Li grabbed the ghost and pressed it on her heart.

In an instant, Dai Li's appearance changed. Her face turned pale and she didn't look like a living person.Her whole temperament also seemed to have changed, as if she had suddenly lost all her emotions and feelings.

Hobert then took her off the roof of the building and came to the Special Operations Department.

Currently, the main ones in the South Colson Special Operations Department are the second team, and Angus's first team has been transferred to Long Tail Island.

After chatting with Helen who came over after hearing the news for a while, Hobert took Daley to the classroom and sat in the last row.

Everyone in the classroom also saw the lord coming in with a strange woman, but as soon as Hobert entered the door, he waved to everyone to continue listening to the class, so no one stood up.

Dunn also nodded to Hobert and continued his lecture: "...As I said just now, this is our last class.

“I have already talked about mystical knowledge and how to deal with some common cases before.

“In the last class, we talk about spiritual perception.

“I have already talked about the relevant theoretical knowledge before and will not repeat it here.

"What I want to tell you is that the spirituality of extraordinary people is quite sensitive. When you encounter the target or clue you are looking for, there is a certain probability that you will feel it.

"Even if her behavior is unfamiliar to you, even if it seems far from the clues you are looking for..."

Elliot, who was sitting under the podium, was slightly startled: Teacher Dunn used the wrong word, it should be "it" instead of "she".

Dunn spoke for more than half an hour and then asked Hobert to speak on the stage.

Hobert stood up and said a few high-sounding words before starting to talk about the actual things: "You will be members of the third team of special operations. Yes, this is a team specially established for you.

"You will be stationed on Longwei Island with the first team, but you will be stationed at the port on the east side. Development there has not yet begun, but after you are stationed, the construction work there will begin.

"A casino will be built there, a special auction house will be built there, and real estate will be developed. Your work is very arduous..."

The class was not finished until after four o'clock in the afternoon.

The students all went back to pack their bags and had dinner with Teacher Dunn in the evening.

Hobert took Daly back to the study of the Lord's Mansion, and Daly took out the ghost that he had placed in his heart and locked it into his body again.

At this time, Dai Li's mood had stabilized and she had calmed down.

She looked at Hobert and couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect you to make such a big joke on me."

Hobert spread his hands: "You should know better than me. If the people of the Church of the Night Goddess know that Dunn is still alive, they will definitely send people to arrest him. I will not be immune and may be forced to break with the Church of the Goddess of the Night."

"I don't mean to blame you." Dai Li said: "I am very grateful to you, really, very grateful to you."

Hobert took a deep breath: "Although my question seems a bit redundant based on your reaction, I still have to ask: Do you want to come to South Colson and live with Dunn?"
