The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Is there another disaster-level monster here?" After Sylvia felt the vibration around her, her face immediately became serious, planning to go to the ground to see what happened.

"Wait! It's not outside." Leo suddenly called Sylvia, and then turned to a wall not far away with the Turing roots. In his spiritual vision, the wall was moving. As the surrounding earthquakes emit bursts of energy waves.

Seeing Leo’s look, Sylvia also noticed the wall. Although she did not have a mental network and spiritual vision, she was not as sensitive to energy fluctuations as Leo, but the universal recorder she was wearing was able to record faithfully. The surrounding energy, and feedback to her in real time.

"Is that the giant?" Sylvia made a judgment immediately after feeling.

"Yeah!" Leo nodded, then turned his head to look at the rune magic circle that he had just stopped, thoughtfully stopped the magic circle that was still in motion, and took away the monster that contained the monster. Special container for the remains.

When he finished all this, the surrounding vibration frequency gradually decreased, the energy fluctuations also weakened, and soon everything returned to calm.

"What's going on? This giant has started to move again? If I remember well, every earthquake in O'Dorraine will take at least half a year before it reoccurs. Why does it happen again in less than a month? After Sylvia felt that the surroundings had calmed down, she asked and answered, "Is it because of the long night stimulation? Or is it because of our modification of the smelting furnace in that heart part?"

"Probably all." Leo also quickly made a judgment. The power fluctuations generated by his rune magic circle and the remains of the monsters in the container stimulated the sleeping giant, and the smelting furnace renovation project at the heart of the giant might What forbidden things and forces are touched will eventually cause the movement just now.

"I'm going back to the factory site, lest there be any accidents." Sylvia immediately worried about the problems on the factory site, so he said to Leo and hurried out of the laboratory.

After Sylvia left, Leo came to an experiment table, put the debris in the container into a special metal basin on the experiment table, and then took out a bucket made of stone from under the table. , And introduced a solution made of more than a dozen materials and wizard alchemy into the metal basin.

The moment the dissolving liquid touches the metal, it immediately emits an unpleasant odor, and a very faint squeaking sound can be heard, as if to melt the metal basin.

However, the Turing root on this metal basin was activated before the dissolving liquid began to corrode the metal surface, and emitted a weak energy covering the surface of the basin, so that there was always a gap between the dissolving liquid and the metal surface. Transparent isolation layer.

Compared with the metal basin being protected by the wizard’s secret method, the monster remains introduced into the container before, after being soaked in the dissolving liquid, dissolves at a speed visible to the naked eye, and while dissolving, Leo also accurately captures it. When a faint energy came out, and did not dissipate immediately, on the contrary, as if he had consciousness, he fled outside.

It is naturally impossible for Leo to let go of this energy and directly capture it with the spiritual net, then take out a crystal polished test tube, collect this energy, and stimulate the Turing root in the test tube, the crystal test tube. Also because of this ray of energy, it emits a faint red light.

Losing the special energy as a support, the stone-like remains was quickly dissolved, leaving no residue.

Leo put the extracted ray of energy on a rack with test tubes nearby, and poured the solution back into the stone bucket to seal it up, then turned around and walked out of the laboratory. The wizard's magic circle at the entrance of the laboratory was stimulated, forming an illusion of a stone wall, blocking the entrance.

This illusion is not just an illusion. The power that creates the illusion can imitate the texture of the surrounding rocks in a short time. Even if someone reaches out and touches it, they will feel that it is no different from the surrounding rocks, and it is truly seamless.

After protecting the entrance, Leo left the big pit of the quarry, entered the city shrouded in darkness, and started his hunting activities.

Pluto is a native of Vilan State in the United States of America. In his early years he was a caravan's escort. Later he had to stay in Odoline to recuperate because of his injuries. During this healing life, he got to know his current wife and fell in love with him. O'Dorlin had such a relatively stable life, so he quit his job in the caravan and found a security job in a local gang bar in O'Doryn.

Because he has lived in O'Dorrain for several years, he is no stranger to the long night period, but it is different from other people’s fear of the long night period. In his eyes, the long night period is no different from the normal night, because In the several long night life he experienced, he had never encountered any weird things. The only time a somewhat weird experience was when one of his colleagues suddenly attacked another in anger.

However, after the investigation of the incident, the incident did not seem to have any direct relationship with the long night period, because the two colleagues had deep enmity between them, and it would not be too surprising when they attacked each other.

It is precisely because of Pluto’s attitude towards the long night period that every time a long night period occurs, some things that he has to go out alone will be arranged for him by his superiors. Of course, these things that other people don’t want to take over are also He won't let him do it in vain, he will be given a very generous running errand every time, so every long night period for Pluto indicates that an extra income will go into his pocket.

After the arrival of the long night, the situation was no exception. The security captain of the bar directly called Pluto into the office, then gave Pluto a package, an address and a commission, and let him leave.

Bruto knows that the contents of the package are prohibited items that cannot be circulated on the market. These contraband items can only be bought on the black market, and even on the black market, these contraband items cannot be sold blatantly. They can only be sold through other methods and Interested buyers contact, and then negotiate the price and sell.

In order to avoid trouble as much as possible, neither the buyer nor the seller will directly contact, but will deliver and receive the goods through third-party channels. The owner of the bar where Pluto is located is an intermediary for the delivery person, the bar under his hand Security is his delivery person, but unlike the others, Pluto is a special contraband delivery person.

There were originally four in the special contraband delivery man bar like him, but now he is the only one left. Two of the other three were accidentally involved in a battle when the monster was attacking the city. , The result is conceivable. As for the other delivery man, he was unlucky enough to encounter the trap set by the lady church in the lake. Seeing that he had no hope of escape, he committed suicide, because his suicide can not only protect his family, but also his family. You can also get a huge pension from the boss.

Now Pluto is the only delivery person for special contraband, so the bartender boss also values ​​him very much, and the reward is naturally very generous.

Pluto did not need to open the paper bag containing the rewards and was able to estimate how much money there was. This kind of money is not the currency of the governments of various countries, but the exchange voucher of the black market. For ordinary people, they do not know the black market. There, the exchange voucher can’t be used. Only people like Pluto can find the black market and use the voucher to redeem the best-selling shops on the market or the food, alcohol and so on.

Although in Bruto’s view, this income is equivalent to a free profit, as long as it is not going to the churches or temples of various churches, these contraband will not cause him any trouble, but he is not a profit. An arrogant and reckless person, he still put all the equipment he had on him according to the rules before setting off.

For example, waist lights, such as firearms with special bullets, various kinds of medicines used to deal with emergencies, etc., and after repeated inspections and no omissions, they put on his room since the caravan guard Wearing a long windbreaker, I dug a small passage from the bar underground and came to an idle apartment not far away. I looked at the dark street outside, then recognized the direction and covered the hood behind the windbreaker. He turned his head and walked into the dark street.

Although it hasn’t been long before the long night period, most people in the city already know when the long night period will arrive, so they either returned home early or stayed with colleagues at the work place, except for those government hires. Except for the lamplighters, there is no one else walking on the road. If it weren't for the buildings on both sides of the road to light braziers or fireplaces, suddenly seeing such an empty black street would mistake it for a dead city.

As usual, Pluto walked along the edge of the light from the lamppost on the street, which made him less conspicuous with the waist light on his body and made it easier for him to see the surrounding roads through the light.

Although Pluto has never encountered anything unusual in the past, did not take the medicine that calms his emotions nor encounters the so-called mysterious power that makes him lose control of his emotions, he has heard it countless times in the past. There may not be stories about the long night period, so when a person walks in such an environment, he will naturally feel a little inexplicable fear. The body is always tight because of the fear, and the hand is always placed on the weapon on the body. , You can launch a counterattack whenever you encounter an attack.

After seeing Pluto dressed like this, the lamplighters on the road all knew what this kind of person was. They didn't get close because of curiosity, but avoided him from a distance before Pluto came over, as if to avoid the plague. same.

Pluto's footsteps were very fast. In less than twenty minutes, he passed through the civilian city in the north of the city and entered the commercial area in the northeast. The junction point chosen by the picker this time was the small clock tower in the commercial area. .

Not long after entering the commercial area, Pluto felt the ground suddenly vibrate, and there was a scream in the surrounding buildings, but fortunately the vibration subsided quickly and the screams also came from the city. Disappeared, everything seemed to have returned to a bottleneck, but Pluto felt an inexplicable sense of anxiety.

Then, he heard a rush of footsteps in the distance. It seemed that many people were running towards this side. For this reason, he immediately hid in a dark alley beside him, and used his clothes to lighten the flames of the waist lamp. Cover it so that it won’t be exposed because of the fire.

It didn't take long to see a figure with an extremely distorted body passing through the street in front of it at a very fast speed, and then four or five people from the Church of the Lord of the Sky were chasing over.

Although Pluto did not see exactly what the figure looked like, he had experienced a lot of battles and seen various corpses, but he knew very well that it is absolutely impossible for a person to be alive if his body is twisted like twine, so just now The figure in the past is definitely not a person.

When Pluto served as a caravan guard, he also saw many non-human monsters. He also saw monsters more distorted than this figure. He even went crazy for a while because of the mental pollution caused by those distorted monsters. So he has a certain psychological endurance for this kind of monster, even if this is the first time he has seen this weird phenomenon in the long night, he can still stabilize his emotions and calm himself down.

While waiting for the sound of footsteps to disappear at the end of the street, Pluto was ready to start again and hand over the cargo as soon as possible, because the scene that just appeared made him feel that his good fortune might end in this long night.

However, just when he took a few steps and was about to walk out of the dark alley and came to the street, he suddenly stopped, UU reading www. uukanshu.com's body also became extremely stiff in an instant, as if it had been petrified, and sweat dripped from his forehead, flowing down the wrinkles on his face.

Pluto was not really constrained by some power, but the reason why he suddenly fell into this stiff state was because he felt an extremely dangerous existence behind him watching him, and intuitively told him As long as he takes one step forward, unknown dangers behind him will attack him.

Although his hands are on the weapon at this moment, and it is very likely that he can attack the mysterious existence behind him by just turning around and pulling the trigger, but he dare not make any movements, and can only slow down his breathing as much as possible. , Let himself recover from the panic and fear, because only when he calms down can he have a chance to think of a way to escape the predicament.

However, the unknown existence behind Pluto didn't seem to be ready to give him a chance. He only heard a sound similar to the crack of wood coming from behind, and then Pluto felt a pain in his back, and then he came out of his chest. A transparent spike, with some flesh still hanging from the barb on the spike.

Before Pluto could feel the pain before his death, he heard a harsh scream from behind him, and then the sharp thorns on his chest turned into ashes like burnt paper, but it should have been The body that has penetrated is well preserved at the moment, and even the clothes on the body are not damaged.
