Maybe he was thinking too much, but Klein suddenly felt a splitting headache and couldn't help but groan in pain.
This painful groan woke up Melissa, who was sleeping very lightly. She first rubbed the corners of her eyes, and then her eyes gradually moved to Klein. She saw that Klein was opening his eyes and trying to smile towards her. With an expression on her face, she suddenly covered her mouth, and then tears kept dripping from the corners of her eyes.
"Melissa..."
Klein wanted to speak, but his throat was sore and dry, and it was difficult to say a complete sentence.
"Klein, you finally woke up!"
Melissa threw herself on the quilt covered by Klein and cried bitterly. After a while, she raised her head, revealing her red and moist eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Benson and I have been afraid that you would not wake up."
Unable to speak, Klein could only use his eyes to signal Melissa not to
Be sad.
After crying bitterly, Melissa turned red, hurriedly turned to the side, wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with her arm, calmed down a little, and then turned to face Klein.
"You want to know what happened recently?"
Melissa understood Klein's thoughts at the moment and asked. Klein blinked, indicating that her guess was correct.
"Benson and I received news from your company staff at eight o'clock two nights ago, saying that when you were out working, a gas pipe suddenly burst and exploded, causing you to be seriously injured and lying in the hospital bed. superior."
"Benson and I rushed here in a hurry. At that time, you had already received treatment and were lying quietly on the bed, breathing very weakly. The doctor said that you need to rest well and you will not wake up in a few days."
Melissa spoke a lot intermittently, but most of the information was not what Klein really wanted to know.
Fortunately, about half an hour later, Leonard, limping on crutches, came to Klein's ward with the help of medical staff.
Seeing Klein lying on the bed, still unable to move, he brushed away the depression of the past few days and laughed with tears in his eyes: "Haha, my body is better. Who told you not to exercise well? Now that you know how to What does a strong body mean to a man?"
After saying that, he realized that Melissa was still in the room. He coughed slightly, took a step forward, and sat on the corner of the bed. He held the crutches with both hands and turned sideways to look at Klein.
"I know you must have a lot of questions now, but what you need most now is to rest. You just need to know that all this is over, and the captain and the others are fine."
In order not to disturb Klein who had just woken up, Leonard didn't say much. He just sat for a while and then returned to his own hospital bed.
Two days later, the pain in various parts of Klein's body had dissipated, and except for his physical weakness, he had returned to normal in other aspects.
According to Leonard, he just lost too much blood and was weak.
After his body gradually recovered, Leonard also talked about what happened after that day.
When the two of them fell into a coma and were about to die, a spiritual boss happened to pass by and lend a helping hand at the critical moment. He also helped the members of the Red Glove team to deal with Megoose and the child in her belly.
After everything was over, the spiritual boss disappeared. The two of them were also discovered by members of the Red Gloves and were taken to the hospital for treatment.
That day, in addition to the danger they encountered, other Nighthawks teammates were also attacked, and captain Dunn Smith was seriously injured and fell into a coma.
Ince Zangwill, whom they had always been worried about, even broke into the underground Chanis Gate at a critical moment and took something away from it after paying a price.
Ashes of St. Selena.
It is said that Langerwuth left Tingen by train on the same day, and his specific whereabouts are unknown.
The turmoil of that day resulted in a total loss of two members of the Red Gloves, the murder of two guardians of the underground Chanis Gate, and several wounded.
All this turmoil seems to be over.
Chapter 159 The entire Backlund is looking for followers of the stars
Backlund.
Late at night, in the alley of a street in the East District, there was cross-flowing sewage, randomly discarded garbage, and a foul smell.
"what!"
"what!"
Two screams in succession disturbed the sleeping residents nearby, as well as the drunkard who happened to be walking by the alley.
The miserable screams sounded like they were being tortured. The already deep and dark alley became more mysterious and terrifying.
Nearby residents chose to call the police and waited for about two hours before the police station less than 1000 meters away sent two police officers to check.
They had a security stick hanging on their waists, a gun in their right hand, and a flashlight in their left hand. They cursed in disgust: "You're up so late at night, why should you call the police? Is there something you can't wait until tomorrow?"
Call them scolds, they are already here, and they naturally need to give an explanation to their superiors.
Soon, they went deep into the alley and came to a trash can. There was a strong smell of blood. The light swept across and blood was trickling from the two mutilated corpses.
The most disgusting thing is that the chests of the two corpses were torn open and the large intestines, small intestines, liver, heart, lungs and other organs were taken out.
The dead man's face was wide-eyed and horrified.
The two police officers endured the feeling of nausea and vomiting, looked at it for a while, ran out of the alley, and then returned to the police station to reply to their superiors.
As for protecting the crime scene?
No one wants to stay in that damn place forever.
……
The next day, Xio mysteriously came to Forsi's bedroom with a newspaper.
"Something happened. Two bodies were found in the East District last night. The death conditions were simply horrific."
As Xio spoke, he handed the newspaper to Forsi.
Forsi asked curiously: "Don't people die often in Backlund? Why are you paying so much attention to this case today?"
"Do you remember that I told you last time that Mr. A was offering a reward to find the apostle of the stars. These two people lied about information and wanted to defraud the reward, and then they were brutally killed by Mr. A's people."
Xio had a frightened expression on her face. She had briefly considered this idea, but she quickly rejected it. It was really unwise to offend someone like Mr. A.
If she hadn't resisted the temptation, she would have been the one who died last night.
Forsi read the newspaper and became even more curious: "There is no mention of who the murderer was. How do you know that those two people were killed by Mr. A's men?"
"Because it was Mr. A who spread the news himself, saying that he wanted to give everyone a warning."
"Oh."
Forsi nodded slightly, feeling a little guilty. The crazier Mr. A became, the more scared she became.
"Alas, I don't know where those believers of the stars are hiding, otherwise I would have received a huge reward."
Foer thought for a moment and said, "I think this bounty is terrible. You should just give up."
"Well, I have indeed given up and let everything take its course."
"??"
Fors looked at Xio in confusion. Xio smiled and said, "By now, most of Backlund's wild Beyonders know that Mr. A has offered a reward for finding the Star Believers. I guess the official agencies have also begun to investigate all of them.
The competition is too fierce. I don’t think there is any hope.”
"what?"
Forsi's face changed slightly. Has this made everyone aware?
Doesn't that mean that all the Beyonders in Backlund are looking for themselves?
"Forsi, what's wrong with you? Your face seems a little bad?"
"No, it's okay. I'm just curious why Mr. A made this matter such a big deal?"
Xio said matter-of-factly: "Of course it's because he couldn't find the so-called disciples of the crowd, so he took the wrong approach. Well, Mr. A is really crazy. I have to be careful in the future and try not to have contact with him."
"That's it."
Forsi then quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
……
Brave Bar.
In the billiards room, Maric and Hasta were playing.
Hasta is not good at this sport, but with his barbarian physique and luck, he is able to fight Maric back and forth.
Mainly because Maric's level is relatively average.
As Maric put the last shot into the hole and won the final victory, his face was filled with a proud smile, and he raised his chin slightly and said: "Hasta, you still need to practice more in this area."
Hasta just smiled and said nothing. He just missed a few balls deliberately to give Maric a chance to catch up and win the game.
This is a form of bribery.
Deliberately showing off one's own shortcomings to highlight the other person's strengths so that they can be praised without feeling embarrassed, thereby achieving the purpose of bribery.
For example, when a minister plays chess with the emperor, the minister can be evenly matched with the emperor at the beginning, but when the crucial move comes, he deliberately makes the wrong move and is defeated by the emperor in one fell swoop.
After winning, the emperor was delighted and pointed out where the minister had made the mistake. If he had made the mistake in another position, he might have lost.
Naturally, the minister showed a regretful and enlightened expression, and then he praised and flattered him crazily.
This is five thousand years of wisdom.
How could Maric know this routine? He was very happy because he won the game.
Hasta thought this situation was good. Maric was happy to win, and he took the opportunity to digest the potion.
Maric, who was in a happy mood, looked at Hastur with a very satisfied look, thinking that he would play more games with Hastur in the future.
"Are we going to play a few more games? This time I have to increase my bets and win back the 20 gold pounds I lost before."
Hasta took the initiative to invite him, and the bribe had been successfully paid. He didn't mind letting Maric feel what cruelty was.
"Don't be unconvinced, be careful and you may lose more later."
With a proud look on his face, Maric smiled and agreed to Hastur's invitation to fight.
Then, Maric lost three games in a row, with a blank expression on his face. He looked at his club blankly. He felt that there must be something wrong with his club that caused Hasta to lose three games in a row.
"Reality is so cruel sometimes, Maric, you need to learn to accept reality."
"..."
Maric put down his cue and sat aside, drinking quietly. Hasta also poured himself a glass of wine and drank it happily.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Maric was ready to let go of the frustration of his failure when Sharon's voice came softly.
"Just now you
You can win because he lets you win on purpose."
