Chapter 582
Returning to the underground passage, Edwin had already made a mark when he went back and forth, so the location of the old seal was particularly easy to recognize.
At this time, Margaret came in handy, after all, she was the only one of the three who could decipher the old seal.
"This, it seems to be a number..."
Stroking the old seal without the slightest energy, Margaret hesitated for a moment before confirming, "It should be 7!" ”
Digit? Edwin suddenly thought of something, but he was not sure, so he couldn't wait to take Margaret and the bee-eating analysis to the location of the next old seal, "You can come and see this again." ”
Margaret stepped forward, and after a moment, spat out a number again, "It seems to be a five!" ”
Edwin finally determined his idea, these old seals should be a coordinate, so he told the two girls his idea.
The bee-eater couldn't help but raise his own doubts at this moment, "Since it's the coordinates, who carved it?" What is the purpose? It's as if someone carved it on purpose, and I don't know if it's a trap for someone to find him. ”
Margaret frowned, very much in favor of the bee-eating analysis, "Indeed, we don't know what exactly is behind this coordinate, and it may even be a trap. ”
Edwin didn't care about the scruples of the two girls, "But you can't deny that this is the only clue at the moment, and I can be sure that no one else has been here except the Hawkins family, so it is very likely that these old seals containing coordinates were left by Sarah Hawkins or Charlie Hawkins." ”
Margaret was persuaded to abandon her scruples and decide to take an adventure with Edwin, "Well, that's all there is to it for now, hopefully things will go well." ”
Seeing that Margaret agreed, the bee-eater had originally wanted to quit the adventure, but he was unwilling to leave, and he didn't even want Edwin to look down on him.
Although she is one of the seven superpowers of the academy city, it is okay to deal with people, but she really has no way to deal with these existences that surpass scientific common sense.
I'm afraid that no matter who it is, even if it is Mikoto Misaka who comes here, he will be scared, right?
I knew that I wouldn't have come with this guy, and I'm so embarrassed now, it's really...
But then again, it's a little scary, but it's also a little exciting, like this kind of adventure to find the truth, and you can also meet those magical monsters, isn't this just like the live-action version of the game?
Soon, the bee-eating analysis can be regarded as temporarily overcoming the fear in his heart, and even faintly feels that this journey is full of excitement, and there is a sense of impatience.
For her change, Edwin attributed it to the fact that Miss Qianjin had not suffered a loss, but this was also a rare experience, and it was not without help in her personality change.
When Margaret deciphered all the old seals, she got six numbers, which were 1, 3, 6, 9, 5, and 7.
If you follow the arrangement of coordinates, it is 136,957, and the coordinates are in the range of Blackwater Island.
For Margaret, who grew up here, everything on Blackwater Island was all too familiar to her, and the moment this coordinate appeared in front of her eyes, as the memory recalled, a building suddenly appeared in her mind and she couldn't help but blurt out, "Lakeside Hospital!" ”
Edwin looked surprised, "Lakeside Hospital? Is it your hospital in Blackwater? ”
Margaret nodded, "It's also the only hospital, but it's the first place that comes to mind when someone gets sick, and Dr. Fuller, as the director and attending doctor, has always been admired by us islanders. ”
Edwin thought for a moment and asked, "Then do you think there's something wrong with that hospital?" ”
Margaret shook her head, "I honestly can't see it, if there was a problem, it should have been exposed a long time ago, and the islanders wouldn't have trusted Dr. Fuller all the time. ”
"Maybe Dr. Fuller is hiding it well, so you can't see it all the time." A hint of amusement flashed across Edwin's face, and from Margaret's words, he described Dr. Fuller as if he were a perfect man, but how could there be a perfect person in this world? Too perfect is just a disguise, there must be something wrong with that hospital, but Dr. Fuller covered it up well, so it wasn't exposed.
Margaret didn't refute Edwin's words, since the old seal pointed out the location of the lakeside hospital, it proved that there must be something wrong with that hospital, "Whether it's like you said, you can only know if you go." ”
"So what are we waiting for? Hurry up! The bee-eater couldn't wait to push open the door of warehouse 27.
The group of three people went in the direction of the lakeside hospital that Margaret said, but they didn't know that their whereabouts had already attracted the attention of people at the moment they were exposed.
In the police station in Blackwater Town, a rather sneaky figure pushed the door and walked into the sheriff's office, but saw the boss's chair with his back to the door, and on the chair sat a man in a police uniform, about 40 years old, judging from his hair color.
The sneaky figure was a middle-aged man with a somewhat obscene appearance, sharp-beaked monkey cheeks and skinny wood, but seeing him smile at the back of the middle-aged sheriff, he said, "Officer Bradley, I think you may be interested in Margaret's matter, so I specially came to inform you." ”
A sneer came out of Bradley's mouth, but he said, "Pierce, what do you want from me?" ”
Pierce rubbed his hands together and looked sly, "Didn't you take a batch of goods from me a few days ago?" I think..."
Bradley played, "I know it's contraband, but I can depend on your information, and if it interests me, maybe I'll return it to you as soon as I'm happy." ”
Pierce waited for that, but saw him slowly lean over to his desk and whisper, "I saw Margaret walking very close to those two strangers, and they had just come out of warehouse 27. ”
Bradley snorted, full of interest, "Interesting, warehouse 27, I remember it was like the Hawkins warehouse, and they came out of there, hehe, Margaret?" Is she going to bring a curse to Blackwater? Turning your back on what you've said? If that's the case, then I can't sit idly by, after all, as a police officer, I have an obligation to crack down on lawless and dangerous elements like her! ”
With that, the boss's chair slowly turned, revealing a gloomy face with scars at the corners of his mouth that had been clearly cut by a knife.
Seeing this face, Pierce shuddered, especially the glaring scar, which can almost be said to be something that Blackwater Town knows very well, this sheriff had a conflict with Margaret, so he was taught a lesson by Margaret, and even his mouth was cut open by him, and since then, no one in the entire Blackwater Town has dared to disobey Margaret.
It was also from that moment that Bradley had a deep grudge against Margaret, always thinking of bringing her to justice, but in fact he wanted to declare a personal vendetta.
It's just that Margaret has always been very cautious, so that he can't find a flaw, and even if he was cut by her, it was because there was no evidence, so he couldn't do it, and this time, Edwin and the bee-eating analysis of the appearance of these two strangers made him see the hope of bringing down Margaret.
Unbeknownst to him, the three people who were being targeted by Bradley had arrived at the Lakeside Hospital.
The hospital, as can be seen from its old structure and old-fashioned architecture, has existed for at least about 100 years, and it was later confirmed by Margaret's mouth, "This hospital was founded in 1905 and was only renovated twice, and it is still powered by earlier steam, so it is considered a relatively old hospital." ”
These words also attracted complaints from the bee-eating analysis, "It's really hard to imagine that you can still see the products of the beginning of the last century in this kind of era, under my understanding, your Blackwater Island is not very poor, why do you seem to be out of touch with the outside world?" Didn't you apply for the government to intervene in regulation? ”
Edwin was also curious, Blackwater Island existed like a 19th century person living in the 21st century, and the gap between it was one or two hundred years, as if it had been completely disconnected from modern society, could these fishermen really want such a backward living environment? Not necessarily, right?
In this regard, Margaret showed a wry smile, "What you say, anyone on the island understands, but Blackwater Island is different from other places, since our ancestors migrated and lived to the present, what is advocated is freedom, and it is centered on the development of the island's residents, just like a country within a country, even if there are descendants who want to leave here, they will be expelled by the tradition and cannot return to the island for life, and those who are willing to stay here are basically people who abide by the rules of their ancestors." ”
The bee-eater frowned, "What kind of rule is this, isn't it to make people live here for the rest of their lives and not be able to leave?" ”
Edwin glared at her, this eldest lady was inevitably too upright, and complained in front of others, isn't this pointing at the monk and scolding the bald man?
The bee-eating analysis also realized that he had lost his words, and immediately looked at Margaret apologetically.
Margaret waved her hand, indicating that she didn't care, "Don't take it to heart, what you said is actually right, but once the rules are established, someone always needs to abide by them, my family has been guarding the order of Blackwater Island since my grandfather's generation, and I naturally can't give up this mission." ”
Hearing this, the bee-eater couldn't help but be curious again, "Since your family is guarding Blackwater Island, why are there police on this island?" ”
Before Margaret didn't answer this question, Edwin felt that he could guess something, it was nothing more than that the British government was unwilling to give up this territory, so he specially sent an envoy to contact him, so that Blackwater Island recognized himself as a British resident, and specially sent police to be stationed there, the purpose of which was not only to maintain order on Blackwater Island, but also to achieve the purpose of controlling Blackwater Island in this way.
Therefore, the police are enemies to Margaret, but this relationship should not be on the surface yet, otherwise Blackwater Town would not be so peaceful.
As it turned out, Edwin was right, and Margaret knew everything about bee-eating operations, and told them all about it, just as Edwin thought, and the two were opposed.
In this way, while chatting, I walked into the lakeside hospital, and a middle-aged nurse dressed in nurse's clothes and ****** asked, "May I ask the three of you to come here..."
From the appearance, three people are not sick at all, since there is no disease, what are you doing in the hospital? Either to see the patient or to ask questions.
Obviously, the three of them are the latter, but they are not so stupid to come up and tell each other that they are looking for someone in the hospital, which is tantamount to startling the snake.
But Margaret suddenly said, "Nurse Elizabeth, we are here to visit a patient. ”
The nurse named Elizabeth looked at Edwin and the bee-eater with suspicious eyes, and finally withdrew her gaze and said to Margaret, "You know our rules here, there are only 15 minutes to see the patient. ”
With that, she turned away, as if Margaret was an acquaintance, so she would let Edwin and the beeeaters let the two strangers enter.
Just as Margaret was about to take a step, Edwin grabbed her shoulder, and when he looked at her doubtfully, he whispered, "Now is not the time, we will definitely find nothing in this way, and we will not find anything." ”
Margaret was stunned when she heard this, and then said helplessly, "Then what do you say?" Come back in the evening? ”
Edwin smiled faintly at this, and looked at the bee-eating manipulation, who was not concerned with him, and the latter couldn't help but look surprised when he saw him, "What are you looking at me for?" Wait, are you supposed to be..."
Edwin nodded, "In this case, you're the only one going out, after all..."
With Margaret present, he didn't tell the secret about the bee-eating analysis, which also aroused Margaret's curiosity, but Edwin was tight-lipped, and the bee-eating analysis naturally wouldn't tell his secret.
So, Edwin took Margaret and left, leaving the beeeater in the hospital.
"Is that okay? Let her pretend to be a patient? Won't this be seen? Margaret asked, not worried.
To this, Edwin waved his hand, "You can rest assured, if she wants to, no one will see it." ”
As one of the seven superpowers, mastering the existence of psychic abilities, modifying other people's memories, and controlling other people's minds are all good at it.
