Renekton and Elisa arrived at the third floor of the hospital where the explosion had just occurred. The doctors on this floor had already maintained order, leaving only a few people gathered together to discuss something. At the bathroom door at the end of the corridor were ribbons, confetti and some broken balloons.

Looking at the mess in front of him, Renekton could already guess what had just happened: the prankster had prepared a lot of inflated balloons filled with ribbons in the bathroom. He used mechanisms or extraordinary abilities to wait until someone pushed them. These balloons suddenly exploded when I opened the bathroom door. This was probably the source of the explosions and screams that I and Elisa heard downstairs just now.

The balloon staircase was not far from the bathroom, and Renekton could even see the words on the scraps of paper on the ground. After finally identifying a few scattered words on it, Renekton's expression became outrageous: "Isn't this thief always failing exams when he was studying? He stole my book just to tear it up when he had nothing to do. Throw it into pieces everywhere?"

"You now know how boring and hateful this thief is? Just in time, you go and try to see if you can divine anything through these scraps of paper." Eliza said.

"This is not my book. I borrowed it from the library! I have to return it." Renekton said speechlessly, but he still walked silently to the ground in front of the bathroom door and picked up some scraps of paper. .

While Renekton was collecting scraps of paper on the ground, Elisa turned and walked in the other direction of the corridor. The bathroom was not a good place for vampires with a keen sense of smell.

After Renekton collected the scraps of paper that could be used, Elisa had disappeared. Renekton looked around and didn't see the captain or the others. He didn't know if they hadn't arrived yet or had already left. Dayton speculated that it was more likely the latter.

But now Renekton is not in a hurry to join the captain and the others. Since the captain didn't come to him immediately after he fell behind, it means that he should have the mark left by the captain on his body. In this hospital, the other party can roughly know his condition. He was leaning against the wall in front of the window opposite the stairs on one side.

"Fortunately, the occult knowledge that I have mastered is related to divination." After sighing in his heart, Renekton put the scraps of paper in his hand against his forehead and closed his eyes to meditate.

After a while, a picture emerged in Renekton's mind: a man wearing a linen robe holding a book in his hand, with the words "Hermetic - From Beginner to Mastery" printed on the cover. words, but the person's appearance was blurry, and he couldn't even tell whether he was a boy or a girl. The scene suddenly changed to a gentleman-looking man wearing a formal suit, a top hat and a bow tie, tearing a book into pieces as if to vent his anger.

The scene of dream divination ended here. Renekton opened his eyes and sighed. He didn't get much useful information. He could only know that his book was indeed picked up by someone, and then torn into pieces by another person. However, the clothes of the two people before and after were completely different, and the divination picture was too blurry to determine the changes in body details, and it was impossible to judge whether it was the same person's disguise.

"Are you doing divination? Are there any results?" Captain Icondon's voice suddenly came from the side.

Renekton quickly turned around and saw Captain Iconton standing aside and watching him silently, while Josie and Mr. Koth were nowhere to be found.

"Captain! When did you come here? I bumped into someone at the hospital gate and was delayed for a while, and then I found that you were gone." Renekton saw Captain Ikondon and explained why he was left behind. .

"As for divination, there is a little information, but it's of no use!" Renekton added, shaking his head.

"Well, it's okay. I know. We originally planned to go around each floor of the hospital separately. The goal of operating together was too big, so I didn't wait for you. I have left a mark on you before. As long as you don't leave this building Building, I will be the first to know anything if anything happens." Captain Ikanton nodded and said, not paying attention to Renekton's lagging behind.

"By the way, Captain, the book I took out from the library was stolen by that thief and torn into pieces. They were scattered all over the floor." Renekton stretched out his palm to reveal the shreds of paper in his hand. , and at the same time looked at the ground in front of the bathroom door not far away on the other side. There were already cleaning workers from the hospital cleaning up the scraps of paper and ribbons scattered on the floor.

"That's right! No wonder Kosi said the scraps of paper on the ground looked familiar." Icondon pondered.

"Do you remember how the book was stolen?" Captain Icondon asked.

"Well, I remember a few things." Renekton nodded and saw that the captain did not interrupt him and continued: "When I first entered the hospital and bumped into someone, the book in my hand also fell to the ground, but I didn't seem to have it at the time. After noticing this, I didn't think about the fact that I had a book at all after I stood up from the ground. It wasn't until the lady I bumped into said that I had brought a book that I remembered about it. But by then the book had been taken away."

"Well, I understand." Captain Icondon frowned.

"Captain, what's the problem? I always feel like I've forgotten something." Renekton vaguely mentioned the topic of forgetting part of his memory, making the captain think of the Dream Thief on the Thief Path.

"Next, you stay with me. Let's go find Qiao Xi and Kesi. This matter is more troublesome than I expected. We can't spread our operations. The other party is a high-sequence powerhouse with weird abilities." Icondon said in a tone Get serious.

After saying that, Icondon turned around and stepped onto the stairs, heading upstairs.

"Okay, Captain." Renekton replied as he quickly followed the captain's pace.

Following Icondon on the fourth floor of the hospital, we found Qiao Xi, who was chatting with a doctor about the recent gossip in the hospital. The doctor looked about the same age as the other doctor, but his hairline was severely receding and he looked tired. The doctor was chatting quite animatedly.

"Eh? Let's talk about it next time. My friend came to see me. Don't be too stressed. The official will definitely solve this matter. The worst thing is that it will be embarrassing! As long as everyone is embarrassed together, it means no one is embarrassed. "Josie patted the shoulder of the haggard-looking doctor opposite and said.

After bidding farewell to each other, Josie rushed over to join the captain and Renekton who were waiting a little further away.

"Hey! Captain? Did you find any clues?" Josie couldn't help but start asking as soon as he walked over.

According to the previous agreement, everyone should meet up after discovering clues or having visited the entire hospital. However, not long after entering the hospital, the captain and Renekton had already come to look for him, indicating that it was more important to find out. clues.

Captain Icondon didn't say much, and walked downstairs with a slight hum. Josie and Renekton looked at each other, then followed the captain downstairs.

The three of them saw Mr. Kosi on the first floor of the hospital who was asking for information at the front desk of the hospital. When the three of them approached, Mr. Kosi also noticed the three people walking towards him.

"Captain? Why are you all down?" Mr. Cosi asked doubtfully.

"Huh? Hello, are you Mr. Joshua?" The front desk staff suddenly asked Renekton.

Renekton's spiritual intuition was triggered at this time. He looked at the staff in front of him and subconsciously asked, "Did someone leave something for me?"

"Yes, it's a book." The staff member nodded.

Then he took out a book that Renekton was very familiar with "Hermetic Language - From Beginner to Master" from the desk drawer on the side. Renekton reached out and was about to take the book, but was stopped by the captain next to him. Come down and put it on the table.

"But, the gentleman said that it must be handed over to Mr. Joshua." The staff said a little at a loss.

"It's okay, just leave it and I'll pick it up when I leave the hospital later." Renekton didn't know why the captain wouldn't let him touch the book, but he still chose to follow the captain's suggestion.

"But" the staff wanted to continue to persuade.

"Shh!"

Captain Icondon suddenly shook out a paper mannequin from his pocket, and the paper mannequin stuck directly on the staff member's body. The staff member on the other side stopped what he was about to say, and the other staff member was suddenly stunned. In place.

Then Icondon threw out another paper figure from the pocket on the other side of his clothes. This paper figure expanded and deformed in mid-air, becoming the appearance of a real person.

"Go pick up that book." Icondon quickly ordered.

After receiving the order from Ikanton, the man transformed from the paper man reached out and took the book in the hands of the staff into his own hands. Before making the next move, the person transformed from the paper man suddenly rushed towards the staff on the opposite side. After a moment of distortion, it turned into a pile of paper scraps floating in the air. Before it hit the ground, it spontaneously ignited in the air and turned into ashes. .

The incident happened so suddenly. Although Renekton had thought that the paper man would have problems after getting the book, he didn't expect that in just a moment, the paper man transformed into a human form and rushed towards the hospital staff in front of him. There was no time to stop it, but fortunately, the paper man shattered into confetti and then spontaneously combusted.

"No, this is not good at all. If the captain hadn't used the paper figurine to get the book, wouldn't I have been the one who got tricked?" Renekton was secretly glad that he was with the captain.

The four of them stood there in silence for a moment. Ikondon reached out and pulled off the paper mannequin from the hospital staff, crumpled it into a ball and put it in his pocket.

"Let's go, the paper doll has a psychological hint. After a while, she will wake up and forget what happened just now." Captain Icondon explained.

"Okay, Captain, what should I do with this book?" Renekton asked, pointing to the book that was thrown to the ground by the paper man.

"Bring it back to the church!" Ikanton said.

"Okay!" Seeing that the captain didn't say anything else, Renekton knew that there should be no problem with the book. Then Renekton bent down and picked up the book on the ground.

The weight of the book was much lighter than Renekton expected. Renekton reached out and opened the book. As expected, only the outer cover and the edge of the paper were left. The content in the middle had been removed. It was hollowed out, torn into pieces and scattered at the door of the bathroom on the third floor.
