Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

The middle-aged man in his thirties has a pair of big ears and looks a little funny. He is a young man that the Tamara family has focused on training in the past ten years. He is already a Sequence 5 in his thirties. .

His name is Bennett Tamara, and he is also the person in charge of secretly investigating the disappearance of the entire team in Backlund.

The two subordinates who were following me told each other what they had just experienced.

In fact, they discovered yesterday that someone seemed to be watching the two of them. This was finally confirmed tonight. Their first reaction was that this was Hobert's helper, and they were exposed.

But what happened next completely changed their views.

Bennett asked: "That lawyer said he was going to report you?"

"Yes." said one of his subordinates.

"In other words, the other two people are also here to keep an eye on you?"

"We think so."

Bennett held his chin and thought for a moment: "Who could send this person?"

"We checked yesterday and found that the lawyer was a 'well-known lawyer'. He had just offended many powerful people. Could he be someone sent by them?"

"It's possible." Bennett continued: "Are you sure he said he wanted to report you to the 'Heart of the Machine', not the 'Nighthawks'?"

"Sure."

Bennett said: "It seems that he can indeed be ruled out. Since he is a 'well-known lawyer', he will be stared at by many 'eyes', and it will be difficult to carry out some actions secretly."

The most important thing is that Bennett analyzed that the Nighthawks must have participated in the operation to destroy the Tamara family team, so the suspect they were looking for must have close contact with the Nighthawks.

However, out of caution, Bennett still ordered: "Take the time to investigate the lawyer's beliefs."

But this investigation is not important, he added: "Today we discovered another stranger who appeared on Rose Flower Street on the day of the accident. You will follow him tomorrow."

…

The other two people who were following him took a carriage to the West District.

The experienced driver circled a building several times, and after making sure no one was following him, he sent the two people into a luxurious villa.

The owner of the villa is a Backlund businessman who often does business in the Feneport Kingdom. Because he often relies on the Feneport government, he communicated with his business partners in the Feneport Kingdom. From time to time, we will provide some convenience to the people at the Feneport Embassy.

Today the ambassador of Feneport happened to be a guest in the villa, so he personally listened to the reports of two subordinates in a reception room. After hearing what happened, Ambassador Tim said: "I understand, from now on you No need to follow Hobert.”

According to the clues Tim had obtained previously, Hobert was a member of the mercenary club and had access to the bounties offered by the two cultists.

For a long time recently, Hobert did not show any abnormality. It can be concluded that he did not know that the third person who died in the textile factory was a Feneport businessman, or an intelligence officer.

However, after Ambassador Tim returned to the banquet, he suddenly realized that one detail was very wrong. According to the intelligence, Hobert seemed to be closer to the Nighthawks, but why did he go to the "Machine Heart" to report it?

Also, as a wild Extraordinary, shouldn’t we try not to affect ourselves when encountering battles with other Extraordinaries? Why did he take the initiative to greet me?

Ambassador Tim realized that this matter could not be concluded yet, so he had to test the young lawyer when he found an opportunity.

"Mr. Ambassador?"

The owner of the villa's words brought Tim back to his senses: "Huh?"

"Should we enjoy some violin or piano music?" the owner of the villa asked politely.

Tim stood up with a smile and said: "It is a pleasant thing to use music to digest the delicious food in your belly."

"Mr. Ambassador's taste is always beyond our reach."

…

Hobert overlooked one thing. Although the four people he was following were stupid, the people behind them were all human beings.

His move, which seemed very wise so far, actually left some flaws.

However, neither Bennett nor Tim took a Sequence 7 seriously, so they did not pay too much attention to this matter after they had doubts.

In any case, Hobert is still safe now.

After using his "real vision" to confirm that no one was watching around him, Hobert immediately took a carriage to the freight train station in the suburbs.

After watching the coachman drive the carriage away, Hobert climbed into the train station.

…

Grove is a guard at the freight train station. The freight train station closes to the public after six o'clock in the afternoon. There will still be trains leaving or entering the station, but they will no longer accept business.

There are several large cargo warehouses in the railway station, as well as many railway tracks, where idle or spare trains and wagons are placed.

The entire train station is very large. In order to prevent some thieves from sneaking in in the middle of the night, in addition to the fixed guards at the freight warehouse, there are also guards like Grove who circle around the train station every hour at night.

Grove was smoking a shabby-looking pipe, holding an oil lamp, and tightening his obviously ill-fitting coat.

Backlund's late autumn nights are already a bit cold, especially in the second half of the night when it's foggy. After a round of inspection, your hair will be covered with dew. If you don't wipe it quickly, you will get sick easily.

Today, he patrolled along his usual route as usual.

Suddenly, Grove saw a bright light in front of him. He knocked ashes on the car beside him and said, "You little bastards, don't let me catch you!"

Many street children would crawl into train carriages to spend the night in order to avoid the police and the cold wind.

Normally Grove would turn a blind eye, but if someone was warming himself in the carriage, he had to stop him.

Woo~

Grove had just taken two steps forward when suddenly a gust of evil wind blew through the air. The lamp in his hand was almost blown away, and the surrounding carriages were also blown around, making a "creak" sound.

"How evil!" Grove said, he was a little hesitant to continue to move forward.

Woo~

A gust of evil wind blew from the front again. While Grove wrapped his coat tightly, he saw an abandoned small locomotive slowly rising in the strong wind.

Grove opened his mouth wide, thinking he had seen it wrong. He rubbed his eyes and raised the light. The small locomotive had risen to as high as a person, but it suddenly stopped here, as if it could no longer "fly", and again Falling slowly.

Woo~

There was another gust of wind, and the small locomotive slowly rose again, this time higher. It did not stop until it was about thirty feet (more than 9 meters), and then slowly fell again.

At this time, Grove seemed to realize something. He held up the lamp and looked into the air. He could not see anything in the dark night sky, but he always felt that there was something terrifying "lying" in the air.

That scary thing seems to be trying to swallow the little locomotive in front of me?

Suddenly, the oppressive feeling disappeared, and the fire in front also disappeared.

Everything returned to normal again, the little locomotive lay there quietly, and the surrounding cars were motionless.

Grover stood until his legs became stiff, then muttered: "What an evil thing!"

After saying this, he walked backwards, not daring to turn his back towards the little locomotive. He didn't dare to go out for inspection again tonight.

The next day, rumors spread that the suburban freight train station was haunted.
