"He lost more than one-third of his blood, suffered a severe concussion, suffered multiple comminuted fractures throughout his body, his entire spine was shattered, his spinal cord was damaged, and his broken bones were free!"
"To be honest, it's a miracle that he survived to this day with such an injury!"
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as Lin En opened the door of the medical department, he heard the announcement from the doctor in the emergency room,
"Hunter Mark, time of death, September 25th, 3:42, operation time, 26 minutes."
…
City Lord's Hall,
Morgan was sitting in a wheelchair, his face was pale without a trace of blood, his waist that was straight a year ago has now collapsed, and the decadence on his face was clearly visible.
Logically speaking, as the city owner of the lighthouse, he really shouldn't show such a gesture in public.
This shows how much Mark’s death affected him!
Jing Nan and Victor standing below looked at him with worried expressions.
Jessica, Dr. Carrie and other senior leaders of the lighthouse were all silent, and many people's eyes involuntarily glanced at Lynn, who was standing at the front.
Now that Mark is dead, it is naturally impossible to inherit the city lord. And judging from Morgan's condition, the position of city lord must still be handed over.
Then there is almost no need to choose a successor,
No matter in terms of strength, prestige or contribution, it must be Lin En!
Morgan looked around with half-lidded eyes. When his eyes fell on Linn, he seemed to have finally come to his senses. An old voice sounded,
"Mark died in battle, so the cremation time will be in the afternoon. He worked hard for the lighthouse all his life. Anyone who wants to send him off can go and watch the ceremony!"
Everyone in the audience thought that he was going to talk about Lin En's succession. They didn't expect that he was going to talk about Mark's cremation. However, this is what it should be, so naturally they all nodded in agreement.
"Lynn, you'll be in charge!"
Lin En took a step forward and said: "Okay, Lord Morgan, but there is one more thing that requires your approval!"
"What's up?"
"Captain Mark died in battle, but there are too many doubts about it. I hope to conduct a detailed investigation into the mission process and details!"
As soon as Lin En said this, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
Morgan clutched the armrests of the wheelchair tightly with his palms and looked at him excitedly.
"You mean? Mark wasn't killed by the Devouring Beast?"
Linn shook his head,
"I mean there are some doubts. For example, the injury on Captain Mark's neck was obviously cut with a sharp blade!"
"But Mark was wearing heavy clothing and had a conversation with the Hunters, which means he was still wearing a helmet at the time."
"Does the Devourer know how to take off its helmet? Will Captain Mark just let it take off its helmet without any resistance?"
traitor!
This is everyone’s first thought at this time!
These doubts were too great. It turned out that no one was looking into it because Mark was still rescuing him. But now that Mark is dead, when these doubts were exposed, how could the hunters say nothing.
If they don't investigate, they might make a big fuss, but if they do, the first target that needs to be examined is the Hunters themselves.
Therefore, to suppress the resistance of the hunters, the city lord's consent is needed.
"check!"
Morgan made the final decision.
…
Walking out of the city main hall, Victor found Linn,
"Chief Lin, how do you plan to investigate this matter? The city defense army will definitely cooperate."
Lin En glanced at him, shook his head and said: "Leave the investigation to the city defense army. The Light and Shadow Association will definitely support it. I also have to arrange Captain Mark's funeral. I really can't get away from it!"
How could Lin En agree to this?
Now go to the hunter base camp and say that I will investigate which of you killed Mark?
I'm afraid my brain is broken!
Therefore, it is best for the city defense troops to go,
They were not at odds with the hunters in the first place, and this was Morgan's deliberate arrangement. As the only armed force of the lighthouse, they should not be as close as brothers.
Victor was well aware of this. He came to ask Linn just to express his attitude and did not expect Guangying to actually take up the matter.
However, in order to show support, Lin En still asked Fanti to cooperate with the city defense army and go to investigate together.
After all, the authority and information that the Light and Shadow Society can access far exceeds that of the city defense army.
Once the results of the investigation come out, it won’t be too late for the Light and Shadow Society to take over!
…
The lighthouse where Mark's death spread quickly,
His reputation in the lighthouse has been extremely high over the years, but now he suddenly died in battle, and many people spontaneously went to pay their respects.
Lin En held a memorial ceremony for him in the Light and Shadow Hall.
Many people came to mourn, countless ordinary people and noble people came in an endless stream.
The activities continued until the cremation time approached.
The hunters began to gather in the cremation room,
They wanted to send Mark on his last journey as relatives and friends.
City Lord Morgan, Jing Nan, Victor, Jessica and other senior officials, as well as hunters such as Ran Bing Feixue, lined up on both sides.
Mo Cheng and several veterans from the red bandit era slowly entered carrying Mark.
Seeing Mark's body being pushed into the incineration room, even old Morgan had tears in his eyes. Jingnan was worried about his body and kept comforting him.
Mo Cheng even cried loudly as he walked out.
It wasn't until the door of the incinerator was closed that everyone left one after another.
Lynn was walking among the crowd, and Jessica next to her came over and said:
"I know it's not appropriate to say this at this time, but have you ever thought about why City Lord Morgan hasn't announced that you will inherit the position of City Lord?"
Lin En shook his head and said:
"It doesn't make any difference whether he says it or not. Does he still have a choice? But I really didn't expect that this Morgan could actually squeeze out a few tears for Mark's death!"
Jessica whispered: "Don't take it seriously. I heard that Dustman 12746, that is, Charles, seems to have been awarded a lot of contribution points because of his great achievements this time, and he has successfully restored himself to the status of a citizen?"
"So you suspect Morgan has other plans?"
Lin En smiled softly, with an inexplicable coldness in his eyes, and continued: "Fanti has already told me about this, so there is no need to worry. Let him be happy for two days first!"
After hearing this, Jessica said no more, "Just be prepared!"
The two were about to separate when a loud roar suddenly came from behind them.
The voice doesn't sound like a human voice.
Everyone turned around in a hurry and rushed back to the incineration room.
When Linn came here, a tall humanoid beast was standing in front of the incinerator.
The original two huge steel doors of the incinerator have disappeared.
Sweep around,
The steel door twisted by the huge force flew more than ten meters away and hit a corner. Under the steel door, there was actually a human body pressed down.
The incinerator door is made of pure steel and weighs at least a ton. If it hits it, there is still a way to survive!
