The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After the people from the blacksmith shop left, Leo felt that things might not be going so smoothly. He might consider other ways to enter the green jade area, even if those methods would cause some turmoil, it didn't matter, it was better than waiting here doing nothing.

Therefore, he directly asked the director of the hotel to inquire about the Green Jade Guide, without concealing his distrust of the blacksmith's formation of the caravan this time.

Because he was still the focus of surveillance, the hotel supervisor also reported his inquiry about the guide to the top of the blacksmith shop as soon as possible, but the top was busy with other more important matters and did not respond.

That night, Leo's feeling was fulfilled, and some assassins appeared again. This time he assassinated the new leaders and leaders who are now stabilizing the big forces in the city, and by the way, even the prestigious and powerful leaders of these big forces. All were assassinated, and only a few escaped.

This time the assassination was not as secretive as the last time when Kitt and others were assassinated. No one knew about the assassination process. It took a long time for the assassin to be discovered after he died. From the beginning of the assassination to the aftermath of the assassination, there were people covering it, and some people cooperating. It can be seen that these assassins belong to the same force, and they are very powerful.

As usual, so many people involved in the assassination should be able to catch one or two participants, and then forced to ask who the source of the assassin was, but as a result, those arrested participants were rescued on the way to escort, so this time There is no clue as to the origin of the assassin.

However, there are also some smart people who guess that the two assassinations before and after were not done by the same group of people, because the methods of these two assassinations are completely different, and there is a huge gap in the ability of the people responsible for the assassination. It is no exaggeration to say that the first assassination Assassins of the leaders of major powers, any one is definitely the top assassin in the entire world, let alone assassinating the leaders of those forces in the Red Clay City, even the high-level clergy such as the bishops of various churches are not difficult to assassinate.

On the other hand, those people who were assassinated for the second time completely relied on the cooperation of their companions to complete the assassination, and the assassination method was extremely rough. for.

It's just that things like the clues about the assassin have been quickly forgotten, because with the perfect completion of this mass assassination, the situation in the Red Clay City, which was on the verge of collapse, was completely disrupted.

Because the first column of major forces that had just stabilized the internal situation of the assassination this time really fell into a situation of no leader, from the top leader to the middle leader are all dead, and the rest are some bottom-level leaders. There was no one person in the organization who could convince the crowd, and everyone was coveting the position of the leader. Driven by ambition, the sharp knives held in each other's hands all turned towards their former companions.

The internal collapse was second, and more importantly, this situation of leaderless and civil strife made the middle-tier forces in the Red Clay City see a further possibility, so the chaos that swept the entire Red Clay City broke out in an instant.

The blacksmith shop is located in the outermost urban area of ​​the Red Clay City. This is the place with the most power in the middle reaches. Before there is an accident, the blacksmith shop can easily suppress these middle-level forces and fully control the decision-making power of this circle of the city, but now there are no leaders. The blacksmith shop has become a piece of fat, and countless thirsty wolves can't wait to pounce on it, tear it apart, and eat its body.

More than a dozen large and small forces besieged the city where the blacksmith shop is located, and after a brief infighting, the people of the blacksmith shop seemed to have reached a tacit understanding and began to cooperate with each other to resist the siege of those forces. The construction site has already considered the situation of being besieged, and defensive walls have been built in the controlled area, but these defensive walls are not enough to stop these ambitious forces, and even if there are enough people in the blacksmith shop. Weapons, but there is not enough food, as long as the forces involved in the siege can persist, it will not take long, even if the defense wall of the blacksmith shop is not broken, the people in the blacksmith shop can only surrender.

This is still the situation in the outer urban area. There are not many ambitious and powerful mid-stream forces in this urban area, while the inner city of Red Clay City is occupied by a large number of mid-stream forces that are not weak. Compared with these forces, they are in the first row. The big powers of China may be a little insufficient, but they are not too weak, so when those big powers are in a civil strife, these middle-tier powers can't wait to attack them.

Moreover, in order to prevent foreign aid from intruding and affecting the situation, the gate to the inner city was closed or even blocked the moment it was started, and the people on the outside could only hear the constant sound of fighting from the other end of the city wall. The situation in the inner city is completely unknown.

As one of the industries attached to the blacksmith shop, the hotel where Leo is located was naturally looted when those forces started to attack the blacksmith shop, but it was not the middle-level forces in the city who looted it, but lived here. guests.

Those who live here are all outlaws and wanted criminals who came to take refuge here. They originally planned to stay here for a while, looking for an opportunity to join the Red Clay City, but the situation in the Red Clay City has taken a turn for the worse in the past few days. The chaotic situation in the city has been completely out of control after the two assassinations, so they naturally lost the idea of ​​joining the Red Clay City, and they became ill-willed, so they grabbed a fortune and escaped from the city. The people in Clay City are staring at it, and it is no longer something they can take into account as outlaws who take a step by step.

The hotel that was ransacked by these outlaws and wanted criminals can be described as a mess. People who work here are either dead or fleeing. Everything that can be robbed has been robbed, but there is still one in the hotel. The place was unusually calm. This was the garden villa where Leo lived, and the corpses around the garden were like warning signs telling those who came here not to mess with them.

After the red clay city fell into chaos, Leo knew that the previous plan had failed. There were only two choices he could choose. Either find a way to find a reliable guide in this chaotic city, or go directly to Green Emerald without the guide. It is not difficult to change the owner of the Green Emerald area if necessary.

However, before Leo made his decision, a sudden energy fluctuation from the inner city of Red Clay City made Leo change his mind and decided to temporarily stay in Clay City for a few days to see what the chaos in Clay City was all about. Who is leading behind.

The reason why Leo was interested in the abnormal chaos in the Red Clay City was entirely because of the powerful energy fluctuations that penetrated the inner city wall. The energy fluctuations caused a resonance reaction to the Divine Punishment Mark on Leo’s body, so he created The people with this energy fluctuation are definitely members of the Righteous Church, and they are priests who have a very high status in the Righteous Church.

Since Divine Justice was injured by Leo over the Belmont family castle, the entire Church of Justice has been in a state of contraction and defense, not only the church armed forces dispatched from various temples and temples have been recalled to the church they belonged to. Even some reclusive ascetics were reconvened to guard several of the larger main temples to avoid being attacked by the hostile underground church of evil gods.

In fact, what they did was indeed correct, because after knowing that the justice of the gods would fall into a deep sleep for a long time, some churches of the evil gods, which had been in a hostile relationship with the church of justice for a long time, invariably launched a campaign against the churches of justice in some cities. In response to the attack, some of the sanctuaries were destroyed during the attack, while others survived.

Although this kind of attack will not hurt the righteous church, it has also greatly affected the reputation of the righteous church to a certain extent, making the righteous church's right to speak in the true **** church gradually weakened. The church has also become restless.

According to Leo's idea, judging from the current situation of the Righteous Church, it should continue to maintain the strategy of shrinking. Only when the justice of the gods is restored, can the Righteous Church regain the glory and rights they deserve.

But the energy fluctuations that erupted in the red clay city now made Leo puzzled. If he wanted to know what role the Church of Justice played in the chaos in the red clay city, he had to know that the energy fluctuations could resonate with the imprint of God's Punishment. The magic of justice that generates energy fluctuations contains the divine power of justice. The person who performs this magic is definitely a bishop-level cleric who has received the blessing of justice. In this special period, such a cleric appeared in the red city. , which made Leo very curious. If necessary, he would not mind destroying the plan of the Justice Church. After all, the relationship between the Justice Church and him was an irreversible mortal enemy.

Leo, who made the decision, did not stay in the hotel, left the hotel directly, climbed over the inner city wall, silently entered the inner city, and rushed towards the source of the energy fluctuations.

The outer city of Red Clay City is already very chaotic, but compared to the chaos in the inner city, the chaos in the outer city is obviously much worse. On the streets of the inner city, you can see groups of people fighting each other at any time. All kinds of shrill screams could be heard in the buildings on both sides, and everyone was slaughtering, as if the purpose of their existence now was to kill all hostile living creatures.

"Something's wrong!" Leo immediately sensed something was wrong with these crazy people, followed him and directly knocked down a stranger who tried to attack him, and then checked the situation of this person through the mental network , and the results fed back after the mental network scan made him a little surprised, because he found an implant in the person's head, and it was an implant that was mutating.

With doubts in his heart, Leo caught different people on the road. He found that some people had implants that were mutating, while others didn't, but those who didn't have implants were It has been greatly affected spiritually. It seems that the person with the implant is producing a mental force field, and all ordinary people in the force field will fall into the crazy killing like him, unable to extricate themselves.

Almost at the same time as the implants were discovered, Leo also found that in many places in the city, there were some people hiding in the dark quietly recording everything that happened around them, and some of them even dragged a few corpses into it. They go to the surrounding buildings to dissect, the dissection site is the head, and what they examine after dissection is the brain implant.

More importantly, these people who secretly recorded the conditions of the besieged city in the Red Clay City were, without exception, some senior clerics and paladins of the Church of Justice, and the people who led these senior clerics were the source of energy fluctuations that Leo was looking for. , This person should be the Archbishop of the Justice Church, but Leo has never seen this Archbishop.

Because he has become a mortal enemy with the Justice Church, Leo specially found information on the top officials of the Justice Church. In these materials, there are portraits of all the senior members of the Justice Church, but the archbishop who can only record everything by the clergy of the Justice Church Not in the portraits he saw.

Leo didn't think it was because the information he had found was incomplete. He had to know that it was the Belmont family who provided the information. There might be some mistakes in the information they collected, but it was absolutely impossible to miss an archbishop of the Church of Justice.

In doubt, Leo did not rush forward to find out, but hid his figure like a bystander, secretly observing the every move of the clergy of the Church of Justice.

He soon discovered that when some disputes subsided, the clergy of the Righteous Church deliberately designed to provoke disputes again, causing some people to fall into the slaughter again, and then continued to record the situation of these people.

Undoubtedly, from this point of view, the UU Reading Book www.uukanshu.com The Righteous Church is definitely the maker of the turmoil in the Red Clay City, but it is unknown whether this maker is the only one or one of them.

However, Leo personally guessed that the Justice Church should not be the only mastermind of this turmoil, because the implant is not a product of the Justice Church. As for the relationship between the Originator organization and the Justice Church, he has not found any useful information for the time being. clue.

In any case, the Righteous Church has turned the Red Clay City into a testing ground, and judging from various circumstances, this testing ground has been set up for more than a day, because there are so many people implanted with implants, not a day or two. It can be done in at least a few years or even a dozen years.

What only puzzled Leo was that the turmoil in the Red Clay City seemed to be launched in a hurry, because his mental net scanned some people whose implants were still in the larval stage and had not fallen into mutation. Obviously now is definitely not the most Good time to experiment.

As time passed, Leo did not find other updated clues from the actions of these clergymen, so he decided to arrest the Archbishop of the Justice Church and interrogate him directly.

But just as he was about to start, a tattoo inadvertently exposed on the body of a Justice Church cleric who was attacked made him stop temporarily and return to a state of secret observation.
