living in the world of reincarnation

Chapter 184 Weird Town
Professor Leonard has a pen pal named Bourne, who lives in the seaport city of Anston, and is an excellent surgeon. The two met once at the Historical Society. According to Leonard's description, it was a A well-educated and well-educated gentleman, most importantly, he likes history, and both of them are keen to study those hidden stories hidden in the corners of history.

"If he's not a doctor, he's a great historian," Leonard said.

Although the two rarely met, they had exchanged letters for more than five years. Most of them were historical discussions, mixed with random discussions of mysticism and sociology. But one day, he received a strange letter.

In the letter, he told himself that he was going to Hezros Town, which is far away, for a consultation. That place was isolated from the world and the transportation was inconvenient, so he sent this letter on the way to Hezros Town.

They have rarely revealed their personal lives. Leonard just regarded him as a pen pal and regarded this behavior as a pleasure to relieve stress in his spare time, so he felt strange when he received this letter.

Moreover, the letter was very short, just mentioning why he was going to Hezros Town and what happened on the way. The handwriting was very scribbled and illegible. They had been in correspondence for several years, and Leonard could see the handwriting The weird thing about it is that it seems to have been written in such a hurry that even the letters of the last sentence flew out.

Dr. Byrne was not such a person. He was a mature and stable middle-aged gentleman with a decent job and a beautiful wife. Leonard couldn't imagine the circumstances under which he finished writing this letter.

As he spoke, he took out the letter, then stared at Mu Lan, and said quietly: "This is the last news about Dr. Bourne. There has been no news since then. No one can find him, as if he has disappeared from the world. .”

Mu Lan took the letter, and Lin Yiyi's little head leaned closer, and by the light of the kerosene lamp, the crooked words became clearer.

"Professor Leonard."

"I accepted a high consultation fee to visit the Leon family in Hezros Town. Although the expensive pound moved me, I regret it now."

"The town of Hezros seems to be shrouded in gloom. People around are reluctant to discuss this place. Some people hate it, and some people are silent. In short, this town is full of weird and evil rumors, like an unclean place abandoned by the creator. .”

"At first I was very curious. This kind of mysterious thing always arouses my interest, but as I gradually approached the town of Hezros, I began to feel that something was wrong."

"I can't say what it feels like. Forgive my clumsiness, just treat it like I'm talking nonsense."

"Time is limited, Professor, wait for me to come back and tell you the story here."

"Your true friend, James Byrne."

After Mu Lan finished reading the letter, a cold system prompt appeared:
【The Final Chapter of Cult】

[Main mission: Explore the town of Hertzross and learn the secret of Dr. Bourne’s disappearance. Upon completion, you will be rewarded with 500 evolution points. 】

The data is loaded normally and the instance starts. I wish you good luck, God's Chosen One!

"I feel that after the winner is king, these hundreds of points are ignored." Lin Yiyi said in the soul link: "It's like drizzle."

"When the Lord God didn't allow us to easily earn points, it's better to be cautious and put away your conceit." Mu Lan said, and then began to think about the purpose of this dungeon. From the perspective of the number of dungeons, Shi Zhengyang and the others three People are still in the same reincarnation world, but besides being as solid as a rock, there are two more people. One must be Ah Feng, so what about the other?Could it be that another chosen one was assigned to Shi Zhengyang's side?

Why split into two teams?Mu Lan was thinking hard, the clues are really limited now, she couldn't think of the main god's intention to do this.

Leonard put away the letter, then looked at the two of them and said, "I think Hedros Town is the reason for Bourne's disappearance. Something must have happened there."

"That's why I need help. The police in Anston are like a bunch of idiots!" Leonard hammered the table with a dissatisfied expression: "Half a year has passed, and nothing has been found."

"So you want us..." Mu Lan thought about it and said, "help you find Dr. Bourne in Hezros Town?"

"That's right!" Leonard said, "You were all recommended by a private detective agency. I heard that you are very skilled. This time, I would like to trouble you to go to Hezros Town with me. The remaining half of the commission will be paid after the completion of the work." For you guys."

"By the way!" Leonard suddenly wondered: "I remember you are three people, where is that man? Why didn't you see him coming?"

"He!" Mu Lan knew who Leonard was talking about, looked outside the door, and said indifferently: "You have been eavesdropping outside for a while, won't you come out to say hello?"

"Who are you talking to?" Lin Yiyi followed Mu Lan's gaze towards the door and asked strangely.

There was a moment of silence in the air, and then there was a knock on the door, and a deep male voice said, "I'm late."

Leonard stood up suspiciously, looked at Mu Lan who motioned for him to open the door, and muttered: "Do you detectives like to be sneaky?"

Opening the door, Afeng appeared in front of him wearing a hoodie. He nodded to Leonard, glanced at Mu Lan and walked into the room without saying a word.

This guy sneaked into the museum just now, and then stopped outside the door to eavesdrop. Although he was concealed and didn't make any sound, walls don't exist for mental power enhancers. Ah Feng exposed It couldn't be more obvious.

In this type of dungeon, it is simply impossible to fight alone. There are only so many clues, and the chosen ones will always collide.

It seems that Afeng also found the employment contract, just one step later than Mu Lan. He didn't hear the first half of Leonard's narration, nor read the letter. Even the main mission was explored by Mu Lan. started.

Mu Lan continued to discuss some details of the route with Leonard. Afeng stood aside and listened carefully, while Lin Yiyi stared at Afeng curiously for a long time until Afeng frowned.

"Professor Leonard, I have an unfeeling request." Mu Lan said tentatively.

"Ok?"

Mu Lan looked under Leonard's bed. The look of the silver-white crown kept lingering in her mind. She slowly said: "What is the origin of that crown? Why have I never seen this style of decoration?" ?”

Leonard nervously tapped the table with his fingertips, and was silent for a while, as if he didn't want to answer this question, but Mu Lan's amber eyes stared at him intently.

After another moment of silence, he sighed:

"That was one of the reasons why I wanted to go to Herdsworth, and I had my own little selfish reasons."

Leonard briefly described the origin of the tiara. It came from a cult case uncovered by the police. This is how the tiara was obtained. Officer Cole of the Newport Police Department once visited the museum with the tiara, thinking To find out its origin.

"The first time this thing appeared in front of my eyes, I was attracted by it!" Leonard said in a low voice, his eyes glowing: "I have never seen this kind of thing with my own eyes, and it uses a craft that I have never heard of. It is so ingeniously crafted, its shape is gorgeous and weird, it is full of unknown pagan worship, and it is as evil as blasphemy."

"When I was investigating the town of Hedross, I saw information about this thing in the county history. It was a manuscript of a sketch. It is said to come from a survivor after the great plague in 1860. This person sold the crown at a very low price. Once It brought a sensation to the Historical Society, but later disappeared, and the person who sold the tiara also died, it is said that he went crazy and crashed into an oncoming steam train."

"When I saw the manuscript, I became very interested"

"I didn't expect to see the real thing again half a year later." Leonard unconsciously glanced under his bed, with fanaticism in his eyes and trembling hands.

"I want to know where it came from!"
