The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"These are the list of prohibited items in the warehouse, what do you two want to see?" The manager took Leo and the others into a room, motioned them to sit down at the table, and then took out a document to put In front of them, he said.

Leo didn't care about the list, he didn't even look at it, he gave it to Sylvia, then looked at the two managers in front of him, and asked directly, "Are there many people like you?"

The two managers didn't understand what Leo meant by asking, and they were all stunned.

Seeing this situation, Leo added: "I want to say that in the Academy, are there many people like you who can limit extraordinary power?"

Hearing Leo's question, Sylvia also temporarily removed her eyes from the list, and then looked at the two managers.

One of the two managers quickly recovered and asked in surprise, "How do you know that we can limit extraordinary power?"

"Are you a superhuman?" Another manager seemed to realize something, his face changed slightly, and he asked with confirmation.

"That's right!" Leo admitted.

After hearing Leo's admission, the manager immediately walked up to Sylvia, apologized to her, then took the list of contraband from her hand, and then said to Leo and the others with some seriousness: "Don't you know that extraordinary people are not allowed to touch prohibited objects? Please leave now, and I will report this matter to the management."

"Wait, these two are new tutors who have just joined the academy, and they are not very clear about the rules of the academy," the captain of the city guard who followed Leo and the others hurriedly stepped forward to defend: "In addition, the rules you mentioned are only The regulations for the management of affiliated contraband are lower than the city management regulations in terms of execution level, and now these two new mentors have obtained the permission of the director of the Second City Security Bureau, Raul, and can…”

"Director Raul is only the chief of the Second City Security Bureau, not our direct superior." The manager interrupted the captain of the city guard and said, "And the Security Bureau has no right..."

Just when the manager was about to refute the captain of the city guard, a loud noise came in from outside, and then everyone felt the ground tremble slightly, as if a slight address had occurred.

Neither the captain of the city guard nor the manager of the contraband warehouse did not understand what was going on, and were stunned in place, while Leo and Sylvia realized from the direction of the sound and the location of the source of the vibration. .

Afterwards, they ignored the other people who were still in a daze, and immediately turned around and walked out of the room.

At this time, the staff in the building were also disturbed by the loud noise and the subsequent vibration. They ran out in panic and looked in the same direction in shock. The guards in the building Although they were also very curious about what was going on outside, they still fulfilled their duties, held the entrance and exit, and checked the identity of those who entered and exited.

Leo and Sylvia were released without being blocked. The moment they walked out of the gate, they also looked in the direction of everyone's line of sight.

I saw a burst of dust rising from the ground in the distance and spreading around. There should have been a four-story building at the bottom of the dust, but it has now disappeared, and this four-story building should be in Leo and Sylvia's memory. It is the location of the research laboratory of that Philip Dinant mentor.

At this time, the captain of the city guard and the two managers also ran out and looked at the place where the accident happened.

The two managers didn't know what happened. Although they were also curious about the things over there, their duties were in their hands and they could not leave at will, so after just one glance, they put away their curiosity and turned around. Back in the building.

On the other side, the captain of the city guard was stunned for a long time when he saw the movement over there, and suddenly thought that the place of the accident was the research room where the director of the Security Bureau, Robert, led people to search. His face suddenly turned pale, and he did not talk to Leo and the others. Then he stepped forward, pushed the crowd away, and ran towards the accident site. At the same time, he took out a whistle-like object from his waist and ran while blowing hard.

With the sound of a shrill whistle coming out, similar whistles sounded in other places, and people continued to relay, so that the whistle spread to the entire Second City in a short time.

At the entrance and exit gates on the edge of the city, the city guard who handled the gate heard the whistle sound, and immediately stopped people from other cities from entering, and also stopped people in the second city from leaving. Completely blocked.

In the urban area, the faces of those who heard the whistle became a little serious, and they all lost their desire to talk, and quickly walked to the office where they worked or the dormitory they lived in. Soon the streets in the urban area changed. It was empty, and only a large number of city guard soldiers patrolled the streets vigilantly.

Leo and Sylvia did not go to the accident site to check the situation, but after hearing the whistle, they returned to the apartment like the others.

Although the incident happened a few blocks away from their apartment, they could vaguely see what happened over there because of the dust flying in the air.

After Leo and Sylvia returned to the apartment, Penny couldn't help but curiously asked them what was going on outside.

"A building has collapsed." Sylvia simply responded when she handed the coat to Penny.

Boll shook his head and said: "It's definitely not as simple as the collapse of the building. Now the city police whistle is blowing outside. Only when there is a major danger like a cult attack, the city guard captain will sound the city police. According to urban regulations, as long as the police whistle sounds in the urban area, the entire urban area must be completely blocked, and then the management will send the central city guard to check the safety of the urban area. Only after the urban area is completely safe, the urban area will reopen. "

"Does this kind of thing happen often?" Joan asked curiously.

"How can it happen so often?" Bohr shook his head quickly and said, "The last time it happened was when my uncle was a student in Xuecheng, it happened decades ago."

Hearing Bol's words, Leo and Sylvia were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and seemed to think of something, and then Sylvia asked Bol: "I ask you, what will happen to the captain of the city guard. Only allowed to blow the city guard whistle and completely block the city? If only a house collapsed in the distance, and the chief of the security bureau may be inside the collapsed house, the city guard captain can blow the city guard Whistle?"

Bol didn't understand why Sylvia asked such a question, but he still thought about it seriously, shook his head, and said, "No, only after five or more city guard captains confirm that they have encountered or may experience extreme evil. The city guard post can only be recalled if the religious or heresy attacks, otherwise, it is not allowed to take out the city guard post and use it.”

"Take out the city guard post?" Leo asked in a deep voice, "Don't you wear the city guard post with you?"

Boll thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "I don't remember that I don't seem to wear it with me. The city guard should usually be stored in the locker in the middle of the hall of the Security Bureau, and it will only be taken out when it is needed."

After listening to Bol's description, Leo and Sylvia glanced at each other, and then laughed in unison, while the others around them were confused and didn't know what they were laughing at.

In this way, the two returned to the room with a smile, and then Sylvia walked to the wine cabinet, poured a glass of wine for herself and Leo, walked over with the wine glasses, handed it to Leo, and restrained her face. With a smile on his face, he said, "We've been going so well recently, and we're a little arrogant. If it wasn't like this before, it shouldn't have happened."

Leo also nodded and said, "I am indeed a little arrogant, thinking that no one can fool me, I can see through everything, and I was slapped in the face by an ordinary person."

At this moment, both Leo and Sylvia already understood that the captain of the city guard that the director of the security bureau arranged to accompany should be with the person who kidnapped Lucius, and that Lucius should no longer be in the second city. The purpose of the captain of the guards using the city guard is just to block the whole city and focus the management of the academy on the second city. There is no way to send people in time to chase the kidnappers and kidnappers who have fled outside the city. .

As for the city guard post in his hand, he either forged it or stole it from the hall of the Security Bureau.

I have to say that the captain of the city guard is really good at camouflage. The heartbeat, breathing and sight line of the whole process of contact with Leo have no flaws in the details that are easy to reveal his thoughts. If the guard post needs a certain process, maybe they haven't had any doubts about this person yet.

"Do we need to intervene?" After Sylvia's self-deprecating smile completely subsided, she said angrily: "It's a little unpleasant to let an ordinary person play like this."

Leo thought for a while and said, "You can act, but you need to wait for someone from the academy to invite you to act."

Sylvia asked again: "When do you think the Academy will send someone?"

"It should be very soon." Leo judged.

As Leo had judged, Xuecheng did send someone to the apartment where the two lived very quickly, less than half an hour had passed since the building collapsed.

The people who came to the apartment this time were several people in black robe uniforms. The markings on the uniforms of these people could be seen, and they should also be part of the city guard system.

When he saw these people, Boll approached Leo and reminded in a low voice, "They are the black-robed men of the Central City Guard who specialize in dealing with incidents involving extraordinary power."

Hearing Bol's reminder, Leo nodded, motioned Bol to step aside, and then asked these people, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

The person headed by the black-robed people did not show any arrogant attitude, but kept his posture very low, and asked the two of them: "It's mainly because of the incident that happened in the second city not long ago, and I want to ask Lei about it. Mr. O and Ms. Sylvia."

"Go to our study and talk!" Leo and Sylvia did not refuse, nodded, turned and walked upstairs.

Seeing this, the black-robed man quickly followed.

After the group came to the study room of the apartment, they sat down, and then the man in black robe asked Leo about the complete story, and Leo did not hide or make too many revisions, and carefully explained what happened after he came to the second city. narrated again.

The whole thing is not very complicated. The man in the black robe understood it after only listening to it once, and then he asked again, "Why do you judge that Phili Dinan is one of the kidnappers?"

"You misunderstood. I just said that among the mentors who refused to cooperate with the search, Feili Dinan was more likely to be the kidnapper. This does not mean that other mentors are not worthy of suspicion." Leo shook Shaking his head, he explained, "So the suggestion I gave at the time was to have him send someone to search all the tutor's laboratories at the same time. Is there anything wrong with Mr. Feili's laboratory?"

The men in black robes looked at each other and didn't answer Leo's question. The man in black robes didn't change the question, but changed the question and continued to ask: "Why do you think that Philip Dinant was kidnapped? Are they more likely?"

Leo explained seriously: "Because I have seen Phili Dinan's research project, this research project and the Lucius scholar's research project seem to overlap in some places, such as the life research of the first dean of the city, etc. Wait, that's why I think that Phili Dinan may have kidnapped Lucius because there is no progress in the research progress, and he intends to find clues for a breakthrough from Lucius, who has a similar research project."

The man in black robe was silent for a while, and then asked: "Did you find anything unusual about him when you were in contact with Kito?"

"Who is Kito?" Leo asked rhetorically.

The man in black replied, "It's the captain of the city guard that Director Raul arranged for Your Excellency and Ms. Sylvia."

"No problem was found at the time." Leo shook his head and said.

"At that time?" The black-robed man was stunned.

"Yes, UU reading www.uukanshu.com was at that time, because we had just arrived in Xuecheng and didn't know some laws and regulations of Xuecheng, so when the man blew the police whistle in the city, we thought it was normal. operation," Leo replied truthfully: "But after returning to the apartment, we learned from Boll that the captain of the city guard's behavior was completely unreasonable. There is still a process for blowing the police whistle in the city and blocking the whole process, not a single process. The city captain can decide, so I think he should have a problem right now."

Hearing Leo's words, the black-robed men looked at each other again, and nodded slightly, it seemed that they accepted Leo's words.

At this time, Leo also asked: "Is something wrong with Director Raul?"

The man in black robe hesitated and asked, "Why do you think so?"

Leo said solemnly: "When you come in, ask Fili Dinan, Director Raul personally led someone to search his research room not long ago, and the collapsed building should be Fili Dinan from its orientation. The building where the research lab is located, so…”

The man in black robe nodded and said: "Yes, something happened to Director Raul, and the kidnapper is also missing, and the kidnapped mentor Lucius has not been found. We have no clue at all when we came here, and Director Raul is in a coma. Two people were recommended for assistance before, so that's why we came here."
