Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Grove, who had had a similar experience, was not as scared as last time. He glanced at his companion, as if to say: Do you believe it now?

Grove's companions were completely frightened and watched helplessly as the small locomotive "floated" into the air and finally disappeared.

It took more than ten seconds for the companion to react: "Quick, quick, go and call someone..."

The locomotive was really stolen!

Grover didn't expect why the locomotive disappeared this time. Last time it just "floated" in mid-air for a while and then fell back.

The two men hurried back to call for help, and soon found seven or eight guards.

But everyone found that the little locomotive was still there. Where did it float into the air? Disappeared somewhere?

Just when the other guards were about to accuse Grove and the two of them, one guard noticed: "Why is the locomotive outside the track?"

If you take a closer look, you will see that the wheels of the locomotive that was originally parked on the rails moved sideways for a short distance, causing the locomotive to break away from the rails.

If it had moved forward and backward, it might have been pushed by Grover and his companions, but this was not the case for moving left and right! No matter how strong two people are, they cannot move the locomotive outside the track.

The guards looked at each other, and one of them said, "I'll report to the manager!"

Others also reacted and quickly left the locomotive. Feeling a chill on their backs, they walked faster and faster, and finally started running!

So the next day, it was confirmed that the freight train station was haunted, and "Machine Heart" sent two team members to investigate.

…

On Tuesday morning, Hobert, Forsi and Xio were chatting and laughing as they ate breakfast. Going out to work after breakfast was in a completely different mood than going out to relax after breakfast.

The three of them changed their clothes and were about to go out when they met Audrey's personal maid who was delivering a message.

They got on the carriage and opened the letters each. The contents were similar. Audrey hoped to launch a "Justice League" gathering on Friday. At the same time, she mentioned in the letter that she would introduce a new member to the membership.

Hobert thought he was going to introduce Susie to the club, right? Thinking of Susie sitting behind Audrey and speaking, she felt inexplicably happy.

The three of them came to the exhibition hall of the Russell Memorial Exhibition together, and Hobert also said hello to the members of the "Mechanical Heart" whom he knew.

This member quickly reported the matter to Captain Ikanser, and the Church of Steam and Mechanics' pursuit of Emperor Roselle's "Creative Manuscript" continued.

Hobert, who had been here that morning, was of course also a suspect of the "Machine Heart", but he was far behind among the suspects. Neither Horamik nor Ikanser paid attention to him. Checked it out routinely.

When Ikanser heard that Hobert visited the exhibition hall again, he didn't take it seriously. After all, Hobert had said before that he was very interested in the set of mysterious symbols invented by Emperor Russell.

However, subconsciously, Ikanser had basically ruled out Hobert's suspicion.

Hobert, who was in the exhibition hall, didn't know that his goal had been achieved. He was still thinking about when to come again next time and would have to use up all the free tickets.

While listening to the commentator absentmindedly, Hobert was making plans in his mind, and suddenly he saw a familiar figure over there in the study area.

Although he deliberately grew a beard and wore glasses, Hobert still recognized him at a glance.

That was Klein who was carefully studying the exhibits in the study area. He had just thought about whether Russell would put a certain "blasphemous card" in his study like this?

While he was looking for it, Klein's spiritual sense came to him. He turned around and saw Hobert smiling at him.

Hobert hasn't changed much, he still likes to wear windbreakers. Although he doesn't look like a gentleman, it fits Hobert's temperament very well.

Another change is that Hobert's cane seems to have grown a little longer.

Klein remembers very clearly that Hobert's cane can turn into a "big tree of order"!

Since they met here, Hobert said to Forsi and Xio: "I met an acquaintance, go over and say hello."

The two ladies who were listening attentively to the commentator said "Oh" and the other waved their hands to show that they understood.

Hobert and Klein came to a corner of the exhibition hall in a tacit understanding. Today is a working day, the commemorative exhibition has been open for a while, and there are not many tourists.

There were also several other gentlemen or ladies who met acquaintances, such as Hobert and Klein, who were chatting at the side. Their actions were not conspicuous.

Hobert smiled and asked, "Are you still used to the life in Backlund?"

"It's okay." Klein smiled: "Aside from only seeing the sun for five minutes a day and the feeling of being damp and cold, there's nothing else I don't like about it."

"This sarcastic tone is very much like that of a Backlund gentleman." Hobert smiled: "I was just trying to find a way to find you, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

This is true. He plans to complete Heyman's commission this week and earn a bounty so that he can purchase a sealed object with the "travel" ability. He hopes Heyman has not left Loen yet.

Hobert whispered: "I have a commission here to capture a member of an extremist organization. The reward is 800 pounds, and the strength is 8, but I think it may be 7 now.

"Of course, I think he will definitely resist arrest, so I will simply kill him, so that I can earn more money. How about it? Are you interested in completing this commission with me?"

Although there was a slight disguise in his words, Klein could completely understand him.

Klein, who was also worried about money, thought for a moment and agreed. First of all, he knew that Hobert was already Sequence 7, a Sequence 7 plus a Sequence 8. If it was a sneak attack, there would be no danger in dealing with a Sequence 7 unless it was to catch someone. The target of capture has helpers.

Secondly, in Klein's opinion, Hobert is a relatively trustworthy person. After all, they have fought together and read about his deeds in the newspapers.

Seeing Klein's agreement, Hobert nodded and said, "Okay, how about we meet here tomorrow morning? I have an item in my hand that he often uses, and you will be responsible for finding someone then.

"After I find it, I charge and cover. I get 50 pounds of information fees from the mission, and we share the rest equally."

Klein nodded and said, "No problem."

Then he asked: "Do you have any channels to get extraordinary weapons? Weapons for men."

Hobert was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I happened to see a weapon called the 'Hurricane Axe' last night."

He said to himself, it's not my fault, you asked yourself.

Hobert then briefly described the effects of "Hurricane Ax".

Klein had the same idea as Hobert. The "Land Abandoned by the Gods" was the best destination for the "Hurricane Ax". He asked again: "How much?"

Hobert thought about it for a moment: "Within 600 pounds, I should be able to get a 10% discount based on my reputation."
