Mystery: The Returner of the Stars

Chapter 218 The first encounter between Klein and Arrods

Max Livermore really feels like he's had the worst of luck lately.

Guarding the Roselle Memorial Exhibition was originally a very leisurely task that could earn a lot of credit.

However, a treasure left by Emperor Roselle was stolen under the eyes of his team.

In order to make up for his mistakes, he was not allowed to ask the magic mirror Arrods, exchanging questions for questions.

This also led to a breakdown in his relationship with his wife and a discord in the family.

It was not easy for him to cheer up again, but tonight, the mission that he was supposed to be in charge of went wrong again, and a copy of the Extraordinary characteristics of a Sequence 6 Corrupted Baron was taken away.

And it was snatched from his hand abruptly!
"Invisibility...theft..."

"Damn it! This can't be the same person!"

Max Livermore stood up from the bench, feeling excited, the more he thought about it, the more likely it was!
"Okay, let's settle the old and new grievances together. This time, I must find out your true identity, and then let you taste what pain is!"

At this moment, he had already thought of dozens of instruments of torture that could torture people.

After the excitement, he sat on the chair again and frowned. Last time, even the magic mirror of Arrods didn't give any obvious hints. It can be seen that this mysterious figure is very good at hiding his tracks.

How would I find out his whereabouts?

Then check them out one by one!

Max Livermore stood up again, and he wanted to check everyone who had been to the hospital today!

There are not too many people who can accurately grasp Earl Gil's physical condition, and that mysterious figure must be among the people who visited him a few days ago!

I can conduct some investigation first, and then ask the magic mirror, so that I should be able to find out his true face.

But that magic mirror...

Max Livermore had a headache again. He broke up with his wife, but there was still a chance to make amends, but if there was another moth, he would definitely not be able to go home again.

"Ugh……"

While he was sighing silently, the nearby Nighthawks team heard the movement and sent people over, and Klein was also inside.

He was going to look for the little black cat tonight, and happened to be wandering around in a nearby alley, and when he heard the movement, he and a team member rushed here.

"It's like this..."

Max Livermore's teammates explained what happened just now.

"We were nearby just now, and we didn't see any suspicious people."

"He should be able to hide his spirit body, so he can avoid the detection of spiritual vision."

Max Livermore took up the topic and continued: "As Extraordinary, the more we experience, the less we believe in our own eyes, and the more we believe in the world seen by spiritual vision. Views can also be deceived."

Klein was very interested in this topic and asked, "Then how should I hide my spirit body?"

"I haven't figured this out yet, but I'm sure that person tonight must be able to hide his spirit body, otherwise he wouldn't be able to steal and disappear so easily!"

"Is something missing?"

Max Livermore hesitated for a moment, but still frankly told the stolen things.

"Then we can start to investigate from the existing Sequence 7, maybe we have a chance to find him." Klein gave his opinion.

Max Livermore said with a wry smile: "You didn't know something when you first came to Backlund. Extraordinary people of this extraordinary path are rarely recorded."

Some nobles have great energy, and they can easily spend gold pounds to buy extraordinary materials and potion formulas. In addition, their identities are quite special. Unless they are exposed, it is difficult to know whether they are extraordinary, let alone figure out whether they are sequence A few Extraordinary.

Like Earl Gil, if they didn't know him well, no one would casually investigate whether an earl was a Beyonder, let alone know that the earl was already a Sequence 6 corrupted baron.

Klein was silent.

At this time, the person in charge of painting the image came over and handed the portrait to Max Livermore.

Klein and the others also took a few glances, and said with a light sigh: "This person is very familiar. During our operation in the sewer not long ago, some witnesses saw this person."

After careful comparison, Klein finally confirmed that this person was the mysterious person who helped them stop Mr. A last time.

That armor, the great sword that can emit golden light, the blurred face, and the mysterious and unpredictable whereabouts.

One by one can match up.

This shocked Klein even more. According to what happened tonight, this mysterious talent is only Sequence 7?

A Sequence 7 dares to stop a Sequence 5 shepherd?
And managed to get out of the body?

This kind of strength is indeed terrifying. As expected of Backlund, the Beyonders who can survive here are indeed extraordinary.

"What! You guys know his clues too! That's great!"

Max Livermore was overjoyed, and began happily exchanging information with Klein and the others.

After about half an hour, a supporter of the Church of Steam and Mechanics appeared with the magic mirror Arrods.

It was the first time Klein saw such a magic mirror full of spirituality, and it was actually the same as the magic mirror in "Snow White" that could answer questions.

He was very curious. If the members of Mechanical Heart hadn't told him that this magic mirror was dangerous and difficult to get along with, he really wanted to ask a few questions about this magic mirror.

After learning about what happened, the bishop who came to support looked at Max Livermore, "Which one of you will use Arrods now."

The scene was silent for a while, and Klein saw the expressions of fear, embarrassment, and avoidance on their faces one by one.

He became more and more curious about this, but he knew that being too curious would not be a good thing, so he suppressed his curiosity.

Seeing that no one took the initiative to stand up, Max Livermore sighed, walked up to the magic mirror Arrods, and reached out to touch the mirror.

"Dear Arrods, my question is, who took away the extraordinary characteristic of the corrupted baron tonight?"

As Max Livermore's voice fell, the mirror surface was suffused with bright ripples, like a pool of water, showing a starry sky on the calm lake.

The starry sky is full of stars, just like the scene in the Roselle Memorial Exhibition about the theft.

"According to the principle of reciprocity, it is my turn to ask questions."

"If you answer wrong, or lie, you need to accept a small punishment."

Behind this sentence, there is a smiling face with a bright smile.

This small change made Max Livermore stunned for a moment, but he was in no mood to think about other things now.

"Do you really want to go home now, hug and reconcile with your wife?"

"……Yes, it is."

After Max Livermore finished answering, he looked at Arrods, the magic mirror, in shock.

The question asked this time is so simple, it doesn't conform to its previous style of little devil at all!
Is the first question just to numb yourself?The real trap is in the second question?
Max Livermore's heart trembled, and he became more vigilant.

"Dear Arrods, my question is, is the person who robbed this time the same person as the thief at the Roselle Memorial Exhibition?"

A large yes word appeared on the mirror.

Then, a line of text appeared on the mirror: "Poor Max Livermore, do you feel wronged by what happened to you recently?"

"……Yes."

Max Livermore looked puzzled, and the members of the Mechanical Heart behind him also found it incredible.

Is Arrodes in a very good mood today?
Otherwise, how could it ask such a simple question with its previous temperament.

Klein glanced at their expressions curiously. He thought Arrods, the magic mirror, was pretty good. The questions he asked based on the principle of reciprocity were simple and not scary at all.

Just when he was about to continue watching, the members of the Nighthawks team next to him reminded him that he had to go on patrol to find the little black cat.

Klein regretted leaving with his teammates.

At this time, Max Livermore, who was in a good mood, casually asked his third question: "My third question is, is that person among those who recently visited Earl Gil?"

"No."

The mirror quickly gave an answer, and at the same time asked his own new question.

"How many mistresses do you have?"

"what!"

Max Livermore's face was dull, why would he suddenly ask such a question?
Aren't you in a good mood?

Sure enough, one should not trust Arrods' kindness!

The imp is its true nature!
After hesitating for a long time, Max Livermore bit the bullet and said, "I choose to punish."

As soon as the words came out, there was booing all around.

This made him understand that it was basically impossible to get back together with his wife.

But he really can't answer this question, because the number is a bit too much.

Click!

A silver lightning that has accumulated a lot of power strikes down in the air!

Max Livermore's hair stood on end, his rosy face was scorched black, his eyes widened, and he fell straight down.

Before he fell into a coma, he had only one thought. Arrods' punishment tonight was obviously much heavier than before.

Max Livermore fell to the ground unconscious, causing the members of the Heart of the Machine to exclaim.

Fortunately, this is a hospital, and they carried him directly to the hospital bed.

The magic mirror Arrods, which was wrapped in the curtain again, outlined an aggrieved and crying expression in the corner of the mirror where no one could see.
