Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 23: Emergency events
Without a second-level professional, Su Lun felt that his combat skills had been significantly improved.
Looking back, he also found that there was a key word of "Moon Hotel" in Aubek's memory.
“What did that guy hide in that hotel?”
Su Lun’s curiosity was aroused.
"Yin Scorpion" Aberke is a professional assassin. As a notorious Class A wanted criminal, what this guy likes to do most is steal treasures and kill people.
He has repeatedly committed major crimes over the years and has stolen a lot of treasures and money.
From the limited memory fragments, Su Lun also knew that this guy was caught by the "Umbrella Organization" before, and then told him several treasure locations, but it seemed that there was a very important [forbidden object] hidden by him. got up.
“What is a ‘banned object’?”
Su Lun felt that something that could make this second-level professional think he could save his life was certainly not simple.
But he didn't think much about it.
Yarberk has only been arrested not long ago. Maybe this guy’s whereabouts, which he thought were not exposed, are being closely watched by some people. For example, the "Umbrella Organization" in the inner city is a special law enforcement department composed of professionals.
Just like in the past life, the police will trace the historical whereabouts of criminals in order to find clues.
If he goes looking for "dirt" now, he will most likely be targeted by someone who follows the clues.
The more expensive the item, the greater the possibility of being targeted.
Su Lun thought that in the future, when things have cooled down, he would have a chance to find out where the "Moon Hotel" is.
.....
Tonight's gladiatorial matches have all ended. After the commotion, the gamblers have also dispersed.
Ordinary gamblers don’t know that, because tonight’s final finale, there are many big names coming to the “Scarlet Bunker” gambling stall.
In a private room on the second floor, smoke was lingering, and there was a strong and slightly sweet smell of tobacco in the air.
This is a top-quality cigar produced by the "Bagamu Tobacco Company".
There were several men and women who had modified mechanical prosthetics in the private room. Although he was wearing a very gentlemanly black suit, he could not conceal his strong aura of ferocity.
These are gangsters.
If anyone is here, they will definitely recognize the bearded vulture man smoking a cigar. He is the famous "Steam Brotherhood" president in the outer city, "The Butcher" Banner!
One of the most powerful figures in the outer city.
Banner watched the entire battle. Although he lost a little money, he seemed to be in a good mood: "Tsk, this ability is interesting... Send someone to contact this "Red Devil" Goron, if he is willing to join Our gang should give him the status of a cadre. ”
A second-level professional expelled by the Batalov family will not be hired by other families in the inner city.
This guy can only stay in the outer city to make a living.
For their gang, this kind of person is the best "newcomer".
Hearing this, the man standing by the door in the private room responded: "Yes, boss."
At this time, the charming girl nestled in Banner's arms also spoke up, saying coquettishly: "Old man, what are we going to do here on Green Street? These nightclubs are a piece of fat..." Cross Club 'A young boy was sent over there to cover up the situation, which made things difficult for us."
Banner used his big hand that had not yet been transformed into a mechanical prosthetic limb to roam around and rub the woman's chest unceremoniously, and said: "Haha, he is just a rookie who has just been promoted to a professional. Since they don't let the cadres end, , let’s not lose our identity. Just send a few people to kill this team in two days, and test the attitude of the top officials of the Cross Society..."
The charming woman seemed to know some inside story. When she heard this, she guessed something and asked curiously: "Old man, has something really happened to the boss of the 'Cross Society'?"
“Well...”
Banner was noncommittal, thought for a while, and then said: "That guy Chuck has indeed not shown up at the Cross for two or three months. There is news that he went to deal with a 'cursed space' outside the city last time. It seems that something happened. An accident."
After a pause, there was a hint of suspicion in his eyes, and he changed his words: "However, from what I know about that old bastard, even if something happens, he will arrange some backup plans. Now, I'm sure that guy won't make any big moves again, and he's planning to trick someone. That's why I have to test it...otherwise, my 'Steam Club' would have swallowed up just these few streets."
Banner said, his big hands becoming more and more rude.
Charming women always wear long skirts, and with this tease, a large amount of their beauty is exposed.
But everyone else in the room seemed to turn a blind eye to this **** scene, and no one dared to look at it.
The charming woman panted a little and said angrily: "Old man, where are you going to me tonight?"
But he didn't want to, Banner shook his head: "Forget it tonight."
Hearing this, the woman's lips curled up, "Huh?"
Just this seemingly careless pucker of the mouth actually gives people the charm of a charming little girl, as if there is some kind of inexplicable magic power, which makes people love and care for her.
Banner looked at the woman's amused gaze, smiled, and unconsciously explained: "I got the news that there is something exciting to watch tonight, so I have to go out."
“Lively?”
When the woman heard this, her eyes were a little curious.
Banner thought about it and didn't hide much, saying: "It is said that the 'Cross Society' brought back a mysterious antique from the ancient ruins discovered last time. And it happened that many big figures in the inner city were interested in it. . Therefore, a group of people will probably attack the Cross Society's treasure house tonight."
The words were very vague and concealed a lot of key information, but the woman also heard that something was going on.
She looked a little excited and said: "Are we going to go to war with the Cross Society?"
Banner shook his head and corrected: "It's not us. It's probably the 'Crow Gang' and the big guys in the inner city behind it who want to take action. It's not a war, just a surprise attack. We just went to see the excitement. Of course, If there is an opportunity, you might as well pick it up."
......
There are no more corpses in the arena today to strip away souls, and Suellen did not stay any longer.
As for the other gambling games upstairs, he had no interest in participating.
On the first day of entering the city, Su Lun planned to familiarize himself with the environment and at least clear out the three blocks of Green Street. After all, the "Cross Society" is a local gangster, and it cannot be justified if the gang members are not familiar with their territory.
The more chaotic the order, the more developed the entertainment industry will be. After leaving the gambling stalls, Green Street was abuzz with entertainment.
The streets are full of people.
You can see guys carrying weapons everywhere on the street, such as muskets, swords, steam mechanical arms, leather armor, cowboy hats, and Mark boots. These are the standard equipment of hunters.
The salary of ordinary people in the outer city is only two to three thousand liso a month, but just sitting in a tavern on Green Street costs several hundred. Therefore, the vast majority of those who can consume here are hunters. They would risk their lives to hunt wild lands outside the city, and then after becoming rich, they would enjoy their time in the city.
Suellen walked onto the street and walked through the crowd.
The walls of the street are full of colorful graffiti, and the patterns also have a strong dark style, abstract, satirical, advertising, and sentimental...
In the dark alleys, you can always hear a continuous "hissing" sound. It is the sound of steam pipes breaking and leaking out of the walls.
Tall chimneys spewing white smoke can be seen everywhere in the city. They are the exhaust pipes of steam boilers operating underground. These large steam engines also provided energy and hot water to the city's factories.
In the dank alley near the pub, you can always see one or two drunkards lying next to the trash can, vomiting and falling asleep. Rats looking for food seemed to be used to it, and they occasionally sniffed at drunkards, probably to see if they could be used as food.
Su Lun thought of the half-cut corpse in the back alley of the "Elephant Tavern" before, and his eyes fell on the depths of the dark sewer with gurgling water. There seemed to be pairs of red eyes hidden in the dark cave there...
After walking for a while, Su Lun felt empty in his stomach and found a restaurant that looked relatively clean.
The staple food is mushroom soup with brown bread, which is a specialty of the underground city. Meat is an expensive luxury dish, and you don’t even know what kind of animal you are eating.
Su Lun doesn’t care, as long as it’s non-toxic, it’s high-quality protein in his eyes.
Although the taste is a bit strange, it is much better than eating dry black bread before.
......
The working hours of gangsters are only half an hour a day.
Su Lun thought that this leisurely life would last at least for a while.
Unexpectedly, on the first day, an unexpected incident occurred.
While he was dining in the restaurant, the communicator hanging on his waist suddenly sounded a hurried call: "Everyone, gather in the back alley of the "Emperor Bathhouse"!"
Kayi didn’t explain anything in the communicator, but from the tone of his voice, he must be in a hurry.
The gathering point was not far away, so Su Lun didn't waste any time and walked quickly over.
When he arrived, dozens of "Cross Society" members had gathered in the dark back alley. Steam motorcycles roared, and locomotives and armored personnel carriers were already in place...
Hangsters have always been very efficient in waving flags. If there is an emergency gathering, it means a firefight.
Most of the gang members still didn’t know what was going on, and they all had playful smiles on their faces.
Su Lun looked at the pile of weapons and ammunition being distributed, frowned slightly, and realized that it seemed that something was not small.
Kayi spoke concisely and said seriously: "The warehouse of the gang headquarters has been attacked. We must go there immediately! Although we don't know who the enemy is yet, everyone... prepare for war!"
