Professor Leonard had a pen pal named Bourne, who lived in the harbor city of Anston, and was an excellent surgeon, and the two met once from the historical society, and according to Leonard, he was described as a cultured, well-educated gentleman, and above all he loved history, and both were passionate about studying the hidden stories hidden in the corners of history.

"If he hadn't practiced medicine, he would have been a brilliant historian." Leonard said.

Although the two rarely saw each other, they had exchanged letters for more than five years, mostly historical discussions, mixed with casual discussions of occultism and sociology, but one day, he received a strange letter.

In the letter, he told himself that he was going to the far town of Herzross, which was isolated and inaccessible, so he sent the letter on the way to the town of Herzross.

There has been little disclosure of their personal lives between them, and Leonard just treats him as a pen pal and uses this behavior as a de-stress pleasure in his spare time, so he feels strange as soon as he receives this letter.

And the letter was very brief, only mentioning why he was going to Herzross, and what happened to him on the way, the handwriting was very sloppy and unformatted, and they corresponded for years, and Leonard could see the strangeness of the handwriting, as if it had been written in such a hurry that even the letters of the last sentence flew out.

Dr. Byrne was not such a man, he was a mature middle-aged gentleman with a decent job and a beautiful wife, and Leonard could not imagine under what circumstances he had written the letter.

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

Mu Lan took the letter, Lin Yiyi's little head also came over, and by the light of the kerosene lamp, the crooked words became clear.

"Professor Leonard."

"I accepted a hefty fee to visit the Leon family in Herzros, and although I was impressed by the pound sterling, I now regret it."

"The town of Herzros seems to be shrouded in a haze, and the people around it are reluctant to discuss the place, some people are disgusted, some people are silent, in short, the town is full of grotesque and evil rumors, as if the Creator abandoned the unclean place."

"At first I was curious, and this mysterious thing always intrigued me, but as I got closer to the town of Herzros, I started to feel that something was wrong."

"I can't say what it feels like, forgive my clumsiness, just let me be talking nonsense."

"Time is limited, Professor, and I'll tell you the story of this place when I get back."

"Your sincere friend, James Byrne."

After Mu Lan finished reading the letter, a cold system prompt appeared:

【Cult Finale】

Teamwork Copy

Dungeon difficulty: B+

Number of dungeons: 6

[Main Quest: Explore the town of Herzros, learn the secret of Dr. Bourne's disappearance, and reward 500 evolution points for completion.] 】

Data loads normally, copy starts, Good luck to the Chosen One!

"I think after experiencing the winner is king, these hundreds of points are no longer in my eyes." Lin Yiyi said in the heart link: "It's like a drizzle......"

"When the Lord God didn't let us earn points easily, it was better to be cautious and put away your conceit." Mu Lan said, and immediately began to think about the intention of this dungeon, judging from the number of dungeons, Shi Zhengyang and the three of them are still in the same reincarnation world, but in addition to being as solid as a rock, there are two more people, one must be Ah Feng, so the other is? Could it be that the other Chosen One was on Shi Zhengyang's side?

Why split into two teams? Mu Lan pondered and meditated, the clues were really limited now, and she couldn't think of the main god's intention to do this.

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

"So I need help, the police in Anston are like a bunch of rice buckets!" Leonard hammered the tabletop and said with a dissatisfied expression: "It's been half a year, and nothing has been found." ”

"So you want us to ......," Mu Lan thought and said, "Help you go to Herzros to find Dr. Bourne?" ”

"That's right!" Leonard said: "You are all recommended by a private detective agency, I heard that you are very skilled, this time please go to Herzross with me, and the remaining half of the commission will be paid to you after the completion of the matter." ”

"That's right!" Leonard suddenly wondered, "I remember that you were three people, what about that man?" Why didn't you see him coming? ”

"Him!" Mu Lan knew who Leonard was talking about, looked out of the door, and said lightly: "You've been eavesdropping outside for a while, don't you come out to say hello?" ”

"Who are you talking to?" Lin Yiyi followed Mu Lan's line of sight and looked at the door and asked strangely.

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

Leonard stood up suspiciously, looked at Mu Lan, who signaled him to open the door, and muttered, "Do you detectives like to sneak around?" ”

Opening the door, Ah Feng in a hoodie appeared in front of him, he nodded at Leonard, glanced at Mu Lan and walked into the room without saying a word.

This guy sneaked into the museum just now, and then he kept stopping outside the door to eavesdrop, although he was hidden and didn't make any sound, but for the spiritual power enhancer, the walls didn't exist, and Ah Feng couldn't be more obvious.

In this kind of dungeon, it is simply impossible to fight alone, there are so many clues, and the Chosen ones will always bump into each other.

It seems that Ah Feng also found the employment contract, but it was a step later than Mu Lan, he didn't hear the first half of Leonard's narration, he didn't read the letter, and even the main quest was launched under Mu Lan's exploration.

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

"Professor Leonard, I have a reluctant request." Mu Lan said tentatively.

"Huh?"

Mu Lan looked at Leonard's bed, the appearance of the silver-white crown had been lingering in her mind, and she said slowly: "What is the origin of that crown?" How come I've never seen a décor in this style? ”

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

After a moment of silence, he sighed:

"That's one of the reasons I wanted to go to Herzros, and I have a little bit of selfishness."

Leonard briefly recounts the origin of the tiara, which came from a cult gathering case that the police cracked, and that Officer Cole of the Newport Police Department once visited the museum with the tiara to find out its origin.

"The first time this thing appeared in front of me, I was attracted to it!" Leonard's voice was low, his eyes glowing: "I have never seen anything like this with my own eyes, it is made using a process I have never heard of, it is simply ingenious, it is gorgeous and weird, it is full of unknown pagan worship, as if it is a blasphemous evil ......"

"When I was investigating the town of Herzross, I saw this material in the county history, it was a sketch manuscript, supposedly from a survivor of the Great Plague of 1860, who sold the tiara at a very low price, which caused a sensation in the historical society, but then disappeared, and the person who sold the tiara also died, supposedly mad and crashed headlong into an oncoming steam train."

"When I saw the manuscript, I was intrigued......

"I didn't expect to see the real thing again half a year later." Leonard glanced involuntarily under his bed, his eyes showing frenzy, and his hands trembling.

"I want to know where it came from!"
