Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 38: Hysteria


"Hey, isn't this Captain Kai? Long time no see..."

The voice echoed in the Tongzi Tower, and everyone could hear the sarcasm in the words.

Those guys from the "Steam Party" were condescending and surrounded the people on Green Street who were at the bottom of Tongzi Building.

The leader was none other than the "red-haired" Kuntu who had appeared in the Elephant Tavern before. He looked at Kai with a relaxed smile on his face as if he had a chance to win.

.......

Su Lun looked at the enemy and his expression became serious: "Two professionals, we are in a bit of trouble now..."

"Red Hair" Kuntu's alchemy plant equipment is [Flame Lizard], and the main material is the oil gland of the Flame Lizard, a kind of unorthodox and slightly tasteless cursed material. But this plant equipment gave him super high fire resistance and the ability to control flames. After installing some refined fire-breathing mechanical equipment, this guy became a "pseudo-fire warlock".

His clever combination of machinery and plant equipment makes him a mainstream "new school" alchemist.

Although it is not as flexible as a pure first-level old-school fire alchemist, it is also not as strong as a normal professional. But the lethality is not inferior, the key is that the casting process is more economical.

It's like igniting a fire with a lighter and igniting a light with a spotlight. The methods are different, but the result is the same (limited to low-level spell fields).

As the "new sect", the Steam Party favors mechanics over alchemy.

For them, alchemy plant equipment is just an auxiliary tool, and machinery is the focus. Although this trick will result in a low upper limit for installation, there is no upper limit for additional mechanical modifications. Moreover, although the efficacy of implants with low curse characteristics is weak, the probability of distortion is correspondingly smaller, making it suitable for more people with less talented people.

However, Kuntu alone does not have much advantage over Kaiyi.

If it is one-on-one, the probability of Kai, who is a highly sensitive assassin, to kill Kuntu, who is a pseudo-law, is obviously higher.

But obviously, the enemy also thought of this.

In their team, there was another guy who had unlocked the plant equipment.

It was a guy wearing a black trench coat and an octopus metal mask on his head. The exposed skin on his hands and neck was filled with a dark metallic cold light.

When Su Lun saw this guy, he instantly matched the information in his mind: "The captain of West City District 13, the "Iron Gorilla" Sith! ”

Since he knew that fighting would break out from time to time between the Cross Society and the Steam Party, he had also done enough homework during this period and gained some understanding of the abilities of some well-known professionals in the rival gangs.

This "Iron Orangutan" Sith awakened the animalization talent [Talent C-071-Ape]. This ability allows him to transform into a giant ape like a werewolf, with the strength, speed and toughness of his body. There will be a huge increase.

It is a very good melee talent.

Furthermore, this guy also got a partial alchemy plant of [Salamander Ironhide], and a super tough "metal bionic skin" developed by the Steam Party on board, allowing him to unseal the plant. Gained super defense that can withstand fire guns.

For this reason, the Sith gained the title of "Iron Ape".

"It's a bit tricky..."

Looking at this posture, Su Lun knew that he was probably specifically targeting Kai.

One can fight, the other can resist.

Although Kai's [Blade] is sharp, it almost always cuts people in two.

But obviously, this "Iron Orangutan" is targeting this kind of assassin.

At least Kai's blade couldn't kill him in a short time.

...........

""Red Hair" Kuntu is not a big threat. Although his fire control ability is strong, his attack range is limited..."

This Kuntu was not a big threat to Su Lun after he took office.

The attack method is single, and the attack direction of the mechanical flamethrower can be predicted with great margin.

What's more, the marksmanship that has now advanced to "advanced proficiency" is enough for Su Lun to use the "kite flying" method to beat the guy to a **** sieve.

But there is also an "Iron Ape" Sith.

Su Lun narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the man in the trench coat upstairs, thinking in his mind: "I don't know if the 'armor-piercing alchemy bullet' can penetrate that guy's goggles..."

Without actual combat data, this is difficult to judge.

According to legend, this guy has a record of resisting alchemical bullets...

The eyes, which seem to be the only weak point, are also hidden behind the rune-encrusted goggles, and they don't seem to be easily broken. Moreover, since it is one of the few "weak points" in the body, that guy will definitely guard against it.

Su Lun felt that it was unscientific to choose these two professionals as the first targets.

Because the most troublesome situation now is not the two professionals, but the number of enemies!

The enemy numbered nearly fifty, and dozens of guns and rockets were aimed at the Green Street group.

Under the concentrated fire, there will definitely be a lot of casualties.

Su Lun was not sure that he would be able to avoid the concentrated fire in the first place.

But for him, there is also the only good news...that is, most of the guns are aimed at Kai.

After all, in the eyes of those people, only Kai, a professional, is the biggest threat.

Thinking of this, Su Lun's eyes began to wander...

.......

Armed fighting is also a daily routine for gangsters.

The veterans are also mentally prepared to die in a fight with a rival gang at any time. But the newcomers all seemed a little at a loss.

Probably because of this group of newcomers who were trembling in the face of death, the guys from the Steam Party did not take action immediately.

Just like a hunter who sees his prey falling into a deep trap, he will not kill it immediately, but will admire his masterpiece.

"Red Hair" Kuntu was condescending and said with a smile: "Captain Kai, yo, your face doesn't look good?"

"Haha... Is this how good your Steam Party is? Last time you ran away from the Elephant Tavern with your tail between your legs, and now you want to play dirty?"

Kai mocked mercilessly.

Immediately, he whispered to the gang members around him: "Most of their attention is on me. I will attract firepower for a while, and you will find an opportunity to take action. Prepare to fight to the death, everyone..."

It is impossible to surrender. A gang fight can only end if one side is destroyed by the other side.

Everyone has this awareness.

Su Lun was pointed at a gun, and his adrenaline levels soared.

He was mentally prepared to face emergencies, and there was no surprise on his face.

However, upon closer inspection, he also discovered something strange.

Su Lun's super eyesight allowed him to clearly see that among the group of gunmen upstairs, there were actually two guys staring at him with scopes.

The moment he made eye contact with those two people, he was sure that he really had "special treatment."

Su Lun was also very surprised: "Hey... Why are those two guys staring at me instead of targeting those old birds and Kai?"

The other gunmen were looking at the crowd casually, but the eyes of the two gunmen were precisely focused on themselves.

As soon as Su Lun's thoughts changed, he immediately realized: Could it be that he was too close to the boss Qian Tiao before and was noticed by others?

He thought about it and pursed his lips slightly. It seemed that he would have less to do with big shots in the future, otherwise he would be more likely to be focused on by the enemy.

.......

Now that he noticed that he was being targeted, Su Lun did not act rashly, but instead slowly relaxed his shotgun.

In the eyes of the enemy, this action is non-threatening and can make people relax their vigilance.

Unknown to others, Su Lun was rapidly analyzing the situation in his mind: "The exit from the Tongzi Tower must have been blocked. After the first round of fire, the only way to escape was to the 'cave'." Use cover and dark environments to kill enemies..."

The position of everyone on Green Street is very awkward. Apart from a few load-bearing columns, there is almost no shelter on the ground floor.

The enemy is condescending. If they shoot head-on, the Green Street side will be wiped out in an instant.

So Su Lun decided to strike first.

The adrenaline surged so much that his body became excited.

He licked his lips, and a touch of unfamiliar violence appeared in his eyes, "He's going to kill someone again..."

.......

Su Lun is very aware that he has a "dangerous personality".

This was diagnosed by the psychotherapist in the juvenile detention center after he killed those gangsters when he was twelve years old.

But he doesn't think that it is another self. It should be more accurate to say that "he" is a part of his own emotions.

Later, the study and treatment in the juvenile detention center also allowed Su Lun to accurately manage this part of "emotions".

This allows him to separate certain negative emotions from his daily life, such as violence, fear, killing, lust...or pain.

Su Lun used to think this was a "disease".

Later he discovered that this was also an ability to protect himself.

When encountering danger, let certain emotions burst out, and your potential will be stimulated.

It's like the news in a previous life that a young mother moved a car weighing several tons with her bare hands in order to save her child.

Just like when he was twelve years old, he was capable of those young gangsters.

That is a potential called "hysterical power".

The scientific explanation is that in extreme cases, human hormones rush out of the adrenal glands, rush into the blood, and flow throughout the body. This fills the muscles with excess oxygenated blood, allowing them to exert more force. But this process is also accompanied by dangers, and there is a high probability of death due to collapse of various tissues in the body.

Su Lun is not sure whether his situation is like that.

But once "him" is released, the body will become very excited, hormone secretion will explode, and strength and nerve response will increase significantly...

Now, with a gun pointed at his head, he felt this feeling again.
