Mysteries: Arcana Wars

Chapter 452: Church and Medical Dispute

Backlund time, 4:00 on Winter Ceremony Eve.

There are 16 hours left until the Outpost launch.

Harvest Church and Earth Goddess Church Hospital.

Emlyn lay in the duty room, playing with the obsidian fragment in his hand out of boredom.

Today, under Emlyn's leadership, the Church Hospital was on high alert. Not only was the hospital's own hidden Beyonder team ready to go, but even the Mechanical Heart team responsible for guarding and monitoring the outer circle of the hospital was willing to obey Emlyn's orders, adding firepower and preparing for battle.

Even Andrea Esposito, the tomato master who used to be an agricultural professor at the university, was called back by Emlyn to guard the church hospital.

Emlyn plunged into the duty room, using the angel's powerful spiritual intuition and vision to keep a close eye on all the monitors and every corner of the hospital.

On the screen, the Mechanical Hearts outside the church were fully armed and patrolling. Their obedience today must have been orders from Scott from the Steam Church.

As for the other half of the church, the museum next door, oh, it's not under the jurisdiction of the Church of the Earth anyway, so if it gets bombed, just take it to the hospital.

I don't feel sorry for the soldiers guarding the museum. Emlyn can only feel pity for them. Such a beautiful church is going to be bombed again.

Scott himself did not come to the scene, but Emlyn still realized that the Steam Church also felt a huge crisis today and some kind of disaster was about to happen.

So, what exactly will this disaster be?

Emlyn played with the obsidian fragment in his hand. It was tightly wrapped in cloth strips, and no crystals could be seen. Instead, it looked like a strange cloth pendant.

All spiritual inquiries returned a message of safety. Whether through spiritual intuition or direct observation, it was simply an ordinary piece of obsidian, devoid of any mystical qualities. At best, it was of superior craftsmanship and quality, considered top-tier.

Just as Emlyn was in a daze, a group of people rushed into the emergency room, shouting heartbreakingly.

"Save my daughter! Doctor! Doctor!"

This scene was a common sight in the hospital, nothing special, but a vague spiritual warning played tricks on Emlyn's mind.

He couldn't help but take a few more glances at the surveillance footage. There were quite a few family members rushing into the emergency room, shouting loudly. The one in front was holding a long wooden box, holding it up for the doctor to take over.

"My daughter has locked herself in her coffin! Save her!"

“Wait, don’t take the box!”

Emlyn gave the order over the communication channel and quickly headed to the scene.

However, Emlyn was still a step behind. Even after receiving the order, the emergency nurse somehow took the huge wooden box and, along with other emergency medical staff, struggled to pry open the small coffin, carrying out a pale-faced ten-year-old girl.

It was obvious that the girl had stopped breathing.

"Let her go!"

Emlyn raised his foot and kicked the small coffin out of the doctor's hand, then held the little girl in front of him.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Emlyn couldn't kick the little girl away directly, so he could only take all the potential harm on himself. At least he was the most powerful person in the entire hospital sequence and could handle much more things than an ordinary Beyonder.

"Katie! Katie!"

The little girl's family members called out, wanting to see her, but Emlyn moved nimbly, preventing them from touching her. Finally, the family members who rushed to the front went from grief to anger, crying and shouting to those behind them.

"Little Katie is dead, little Katie is dead!

"She was crying when she left just now, how come she died in your hands?

"You quacks! You quacks! You must have killed little Katie!

“I’m so mad, give me back my little Katie!

"I want revenge for little Katie!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the group of people behind them responded immediately and rushed forward to beat up the emergency medical staff.

...This guy is obviously here to cause trouble!!

Amidst the screams and shouts, just like in thousands of drills before, the Extraordinary Doctors of the Church of the Earth rushed to the scene immediately, guiding the emergency room crowd and ordinary medical staff to quickly evacuate the conflict scene through other passages.

However, several doctors and nurses were caught in the center of the conflict and found it difficult to escape. The Earth Team had no choice but to leave them on the scene and hand them over to others to deal with.

Emlyn had no idea what these medical troublemakers were up to, but the overwhelming sense of crisis and the disaster that hadn't arrived today made him no longer care about any religious issues. He shouted orders to the Mechanical Heart outside the hospital.

"In the name of the Acting Dean, I allow your Mechanical Heart team to enter the scene for support!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several tear gas bombs and flash bombs broke through the air, depriving the medical troublemakers of their sight. They covered their eyes, knelt on the ground and screamed.

Amidst the chaos, Emlyn sensed a subtle, hidden, and strange aura. Someone took advantage of the fake kneeling action, bent over to block his view, and secretly pulled out something filthy from his clothes.

That's... a bomb with pollution!

Emlyn immediately threw all the disinfectant on his body at the family members who were trying to blow up the hospital. He no longer cared about the losses of the hospital and roared loudly.

"Forget about the tear gas bombs, just use heavy firepower!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Emlyn jumped up, hid in the emergency room and pushed the door shut.

A huge explosion followed, and the strong shock wave slammed into the thick door of the emergency room.

Emlyn's strong physique wouldn't be defeated by an impact of this magnitude, but he was still quite shaken and could barely keep his feet.

At the moment of this huge impact, Emlyn's hand suddenly lightened, and the girl who should have died took this opportunity to fall from Emlyn's hand to the ground, and then instinctively crawled out from the broken door.

“…Hey, wait!”

As Emlyn finished his words, another wave of powerful heavy bombs swept through the emergency room. The Mechanical Heart team's exquisite fire control cleared the entire battlefield without causing devastating damage to the structure of the building.

The shockwave once again shook Emlyn behind the door, interrupting his pursuit. When he looked up, the little girl had disappeared from Emlyn's sight.

"Damn you, Mechanical Heart! Are you allies, or are you here to cause trouble?!"

Emlyn rushed out of the emergency room in anger, risking his face being hit by the extraordinary explosion, and shouted viciously.

"Cease fire! Everyone, cease fire!

"Go find that little girl quickly and don't let her get away!"

The emergency room was a mess, with shredded meat and shredded wood mixed together and smeared everywhere.

Aside from Emlyn and the Mechanical Heart team, there was no one alive in the emergency room, and the air was filled with the strong smell of disinfectant and gunpowder.

The hospital's sprinkler system finally found an opportunity to intervene, and the surviving sprinkler heads were immediately activated, spraying disinfectant that could suppress the contamination.

"Wait, that's not right!"

Emlyn, inspecting the battlefield, discovered a serious problem.

“The coffin that contained the child is also missing!

"It wasn't blown up, the terrorists took it away!"

Mechanical Hearts filed out, chasing the little girl and the coffin box. Emlyn was also busy, driving the animals as hard as he could, launching a blanket search of Backlund, centered around the Harvest Church.

However, after preliminary investigation, Emlyn still found nothing.

The little girl and the coffin box disappeared from their control completely as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth.

Emlyn sighed and prepared to synchronize this news to the rest of the Tarot Club.

He casually inserted it into his pocket, but found that his pocket was empty, the obsidian lens disappeared, and only a long piece of cloth was dug out.

Looking at the empty strips of cloth, the empty emergency room, and the empty doorway, Emlyn suddenly felt dazed, his mind blank, and he was at a loss.

Things started in chaos and ended in chaos.

No patients were harmed, no medical staff were killed or injured, no mechanical hearts perished, and no evil contamination spread.

Everything fell silent, as if nothing had happened.

Only traces of flesh, wood and iron around here suggest that this place was once bustling with people.

Under the spray of disinfectant, Emlyn simply sat down on the dirty ground and stared blankly at the door.

Have I...successfully overcome the tribulation?
