Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 4: Ghost species

Su Lun's words stirred up a storm in the bald head's heart.

He immediately asked: "There are really relics left by 'Sir Isaac' in this manor?"

Su Lun spat out another mouthful of blood foam in great detail, and then responded: "Yes. At least that's what's recorded on the treasure map I got."

"..."

After hearing the confirmation again, the bald man's eyes moved frequently, as if he was thinking about something.

Excitement, anticipation, entanglement, and a little bit of worry.

He looked at Su Lun, a flash of suspicion flashed in his eyes, but he could really hold back his murderous intention.

If you don’t know the secret of this manor, just kill him.

But now that he knew there was such a huge treasure in this manor, how could he just give up?

As a senior hunting leader in the city of "Old Ringtown", how could he not know the value of "Sir Isaac's Relics"?

The legendary great alchemist is said to have studied ancient alchemy to the extreme and is known as a "demigod". In his lifetime, he developed countless new alchemical formulas, countless strange potions, and numerous invention patents. Each of his alchemy manuscripts can be sold for a sky-high price on the black market in London.

The bald head has seen it with his own eyes. At an auction in the inner city, someone bought a useless page of life notes for a sky-high price of three hundred gold crowns, just because it was a relic of Sir Isaac in his own handwriting. Notes.

You must know that the "DH-031 sophisticated modified version" robotic arm he equipped is only worth a few dozen gold crowns in terms of materials and modification fees.

Although the bald head knows that Su Lun may be hiding something, as long as that person is involved, it is worth risking his life!

If you really find some relic left by Sir Isaac, you will definitely become rich overnight. Will you have to spend the rest of your life hunting wilderness?

.......

Thinking of this, the bald man squinted his eyes and asked coldly: "Boy, who are you?"

"I don't know either."

Su Lun pretended to be confused and thought for a moment, then added: "My memory has been erased."

The information on the retina said that the original owner was "memory wiped", so there is nothing wrong with this answer.

"..."

Hearing this, Baldhead pondered for a moment.

He didn't seem suspicious and didn't ask any more questions.

Being exiled from the inner city and having a bounty placed on his assassination, his identity must not be simple, and the explanation for erasing his memory makes sense.

He did not go into more detail about Su Lun's identity, but instead asked: "Where did you get the treasure map you mentioned?"

Su Lun replied: "I don't know who left it for me."

After a pause, he added: "I once saw it accidentally in an old book, and then I burned it."

"..."

The bald man frowned and said nothing.

They had searched him before the interrogation and found nothing that might be a treasure map.

So, people can no longer be killed.

He also guessed that Su Lun must have reservations. You will never be stupid enough to explain everything that saves your life at once.

The iron clamp on his neck loosened, and Su Lun knew that he had temporarily saved his life.

Although he looked a little embarrassed, he was always calm in his heart.

If you want to really survive, you have to think of other ways.

The bald man was obviously wary of him and kept asking for details of the "treasure map". But at this moment, a desperate cry like a ghost crying or a wolf howling suddenly came from outside the door.

"Captain, Commander, where are you...Help!"

The sudden wailing suddenly made the atmosphere in the room very strange.

When the bald man heard this, his expression immediately became serious.

Only then did he realize that he was still in a cursed space that was suspected to be "A-level" dangerous!

This manor also hides unknown dangers.

Su Lun didn't know what horrible things the guy outside had experienced, but listening to the desperate tone, he also guessed that something very horrible might have happened outside the door.

The bald man frowned, pinched Su Lun's neck with one hand as a shield, walked over and opened the door.

"Click" the door opened.

At this time, a guy covered in blood broke in with a panic face.

The bald head obviously knew the guy dressed in leather armor, and he frowned and said his name: "Marcus?"

The guy looked at the bald head, his pale face suddenly turned rosy, and he said ecstatically: "Captain Ivan!"

After a pause, the horror on his face turned into a feeling of joy for the rest of his life, and he gasped: "Oh, my god... Captain, I finally found you!"

Su Lun watched this scene silently, and then he learned the names of the two people.

Leader?

What kind of organization does it sound like?

Su Lun looked at the wounds and bloodstains on the man named Marcus, and then looked at the smoke-emitting musket in this man's hand. He felt a little strange: "There are cuts and lacerations with sharp objects... The person who used the gun actually Was he scratched with a knife?"

Maybe, not a human being?

Obviously, things don't seem to be simple.

At this time, the bald man looked at Marcus alone, then looked outside the door, but found nothing unusual.

After closing the door, he solemnly asked: "Where is Deputy Mark, where is Daniel, and the others?"

"Captain...they are dead, all dead!"

Marcus's eyes were full of fear, as if he had recalled something, and he said with a cry: "Just now...just now we entered this cursed space and got lost while walking. Then we found that there were many scary people in this house. Dude! There seems to be a 'ghost species' in this house that is controlling the puppets. It seems to be everywhere, and it wants us to play games with them...hide and seek...if we find it, we will be killed. .."

"Ghost species?"

After listening to his subordinate’s stammering narrative, Bald Ivan’s face was filled with solemnity.

.......

Ghost species?

Weird?

Su Lun caught a few words that were understandable but beyond his original knowledge.

However, after seeing the extraordinary abilities of this world, he could easily understand that this term should refer to some kind of "extraordinary creature".

"It" just killed more than ten members of this bald group.

Before time travel, Su Lun was a UP master of horror games and supernatural movie commentary. So although the story told by the guy named Marcus just now is bizarre, it is not too unbelievable to him.

There was not much fear in his heart, but an inexplicably familiar feeling: "A horror plot? This seems to be the right way to unfold it."

Vaguely, he could also deduce some of the "ghost species"'s hobbies from the process, such as: he likes to torture and kill humans, and he likes to play childish games...

Now it seems that the fatal threat is not just the bald man, but also a "ghost species".

.......

The bald head was still asking about the status of his subordinates carefully, but at this time, Su Lun, whose thoughts were racing, seemed to have suddenly discovered something, and raised his brows.

"Eh..."

His eyes moved away from Marcus and suddenly fell on the red, black and green soldier puppet that looked like a "Nutcracker" in the corner of the study.

Before, he thought it was a pure decoration in the study.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Su Lun just saw that the doll’s eyes seemed to tremble.

At this time, the dark eyes on the face of the doll were staring at the three people in the room.

After thinking about it for a moment, Su Lun noticed something unusual and thought to himself: "I thought I remembered it wrong just now, but it turns out it was really moving..."

He remembered clearly that when he was pressed against the opposite wall by the bald head, the puppet's eyes were facing to the left, staring right at them.

Now, their position has moved to the door of the room on the right, and the doll's eyes are still staring at them.

Like this→_→!

So, the position of the person moved, the puppet did not move, but the direction of its eyes also moved.

This is a habit he developed from playing horror room games. In a claustrophobic environment, your eyes will instinctively collect all the "clues" around you to solve the problem.

That’s when I noticed the difference between the Nutcracker dolls.

"It turns out that I am being monitored by 'people'..."

Su Lun noticed something unusual, but a flash of realization flashed in his eyes.

Originally, I thought I was wrong. Now that I heard that there was a murderous puppet in the house, Su Lun immediately confirmed that everything in the house had been monitored by someone secretly.

Perhaps, it is the so-called "ghost species".

However, even after discovering this, Su Lun did not show any abnormality on his face.

For him, although he was still not sure what the concept of "weirdness" in the room was, the expressions on the bald two men's faces definitely suggested some kind of danger.

But this does not mean that the "weirdness" will be more deadly to Su Lun than the two bald men.

Even good news.

If you want to survive in the hands of a bald man, this "weirdness" may also be one of the conditions that can be exploited.
