Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 77: Some things about the aftermath

Senjou led Reina out of the "Musket Hotel".

Su Lun was relieved to have gotten rid of such a hot potato.

I didn’t expect that an ordinary trial guide mission would lead to so many accidents, several fierce battles, and more than a dozen wounds, large and small, and he felt very tired.

Thinking that Senjou and the gang cadres would take care of everything, and that there was nothing else to do for him, he stayed at the hotel and planned to rest for the night.

But instead of staying in room 304, a new room was opened next door.

If something goes wrong and someone comes looking for him, he has room to react.

.......

The next day, the biological clock made Su Lun wake up from meditation on time.

He looked at the time and saw that it was time to gather for patrol again. There was nothing to deal with, so he checked the bullets in the musket and walked out of the door.

There are no signs of break-in in 304 next door, so I think the matter must have been properly resolved.

Seven o'clock sharp, at the unfinished building.

The members of the Cross Society in charge of Green Street have gathered together.

Su Lun greeted a few old guys and squatted on the edge of the road to listen to their chatting and farting.

"Hey, you know what? I heard that something big happened in Tongzilou yesterday. Many professionals from the inner city came, and the battle was huge."

"I heard about it too. I heard that dozens of troop carriers came, and the noise was like a war."

"Hey, why do you think it is? Could it be that some powerful aberration appeared in the cave?"

"I don't know. I heard that the confidentiality level of the matter is quite high, and the gang cadres have gone to several..."

"..."

Su Lun listened and didn't say anything.

Not many people knew about Su Lun's role as a guide for the Black Tower Academy trial group this time, and since such a big accident happened, outside information has been blocked.

No one knew that Su Lun, one of the parties involved, was squatting next to them.

Not long after, captain Kai also hurried over on his motorcycle.

This is the first time that Su Lun has been late in his memory. He explained that he had just returned from headquarters.

Without further words, everyone began their day's routine patrolling the streets.

The gang members continued to joke around with the girls on the street, and then walked through the bar street, casino street...

Kayi found an opportunity and walked side by side with Su Lun, saying apologetically: "I'm sorry, brother, I didn't know this would cause such a big mess."

"That's okay."

Su Lun smiled.

Kai does have good intentions. If nothing goes wrong with this mission, it will be a good opportunity to collect money and make a profit.

Kai didn’t seem to know much about the inside story, and thought that Su Lun was just a “passer-by” in the incident. He pursed his lips and said, “Those plutocrats in the inner city really get more ruthless as they get richer. I heard that This time, it was because of an internal fight within a family that they sent a killer to kill a student and then disturbed the young masters and ladies of the trial group, which led to such a big battle... Fortunately, it was nothing serious, otherwise it would have happened in Green. Street, we still have to be implicated..."

"Yeah."

Su Lun nodded in agreement without explaining.

Probably because the top consortium didn't want the scandal to spread, even Kai didn't know that the eldest lady of the Reyes family had been assassinated. Moreover, two students and three accompanying instructors died this time, and the news was not spread.

When Kai said this, he also felt very bored: "Forget it, let's not talk about it. The gang's top brass won't let us talk about these things anymore."

After a pause, he looked at Suellen and asked: "Brother, do you still want to go to the Scarlet Bunker?"

Su Lun smiled and nodded: "Yes. I got news that the gladiatorial battle in the Scarlet Bunker will be very lively tonight. I must go and see it tonight..."

Kayi pursed his lips and said with a look of disinterest, "I probably won't be able to go. The cadres said that there might be a big turmoil because of what happened yesterday, so they asked me to walk around the block more. ..."

Su Lun and Kai were also very familiar with each other, and their words were not unfamiliar, and they even said something hateful: "Oh. Then you go to the streets, shall I watch the gladiatorial fight?"

Kayi rolled his eyes: "..."

This is the trouble with being a captain, there are so many things to do.

This is also the reason why Su Lun refused when Kai said he would recommend him to be the vice-captain so that he could be promoted to captain in the future.

.......

Su Lun was already a regular customer of the arena. He walked into the casino in a familiar manner and greeted some familiar gamblers. Came to the old spot next to the Octagon.

Listening to the information revealed in advance by the betting girl, he learned that there would be professional gladiatorial matches tonight, and there would be three in a row. I heard that the gladiators came from the inner city.

Others don’t know the reason, they just watch the excitement.

Su Lun guessed that after the failure of the assassination of Reina, the top brass of the Reyes family began a purge operation. And this excitement will probably continue for a long time.

Then the daily "work" is repeated, placing bets, shouting, and harvesting.

Su Lun didn’t know why, but he wasn’t very interested in watching the game today.

After thinking about it later, I realized that it was probably because he was a little uninterested in "harvesting" from the corpses.

In the cave, he harvested the soul fragments of two Black Tower Academy assistants, a second-level professional, and an elite student... and gained a lot of knowledge.

Compared with those high-quality fragments, these are not even ordinary corpses for professionals in the arena, and they will not bring much increase in strength to him.

It's like planting a five-million-dollar jackpot several times, and then winning a small prize of three to five hundred. It's hard to get interested.

But while he was gambling, Su Lun felt his arm being immersed in a group of gentle touches. When he turned around, he saw a young gambling-addicted woman leaning over with a look of great interest.

Qian Tiao didn't shy away from anything, he put his arm around Su Lun's shoulders and asked, "Boy Su Lun, which one do you want to buy next?"

Su Lun didn’t show up and said, “I bought the red cube.”

When Qiantiao heard this, he called the betting girl and shouted: "Red side, bet 10,000."

Su Lun has become accustomed to this, and this gambling-addicted young woman probably wants to try her mysterious gambling skills again.

Before the gladiatorial match started, Qian Jiao took out a silver mechanical box that looked very sophisticated and handed it to Su Lun, "Here, take it."

"???"

Su Lun cast a doubtful look, but also took the box.

It's very heavy to start with, and it seems to contain something good.

Qianjo explained: "The thank-you gift that girl Reina gave you was to thank you for taking care of her in the cave."

"Oh."

Su Lun was stunned when he heard this, and was also curious about what kind of thank-you gift a young lady from a top chaebol family would give. Just as he was about to open it, Senjou held him down.

She leaned very close and warned in a low voice: "If you open it here and let people know you have this thing in your hand, you will probably die on the street tomorrow."

The consequences are so serious?

After hearing this, Su Lun became even more curious about the contents of the box.

Although I don’t know what it is, it must be worth a lot of money.

But obviously, it is not Chijo's character to beat around the bush. She directly revealed what the gift was in the box, and said: "That girl doesn't know what to choose from when giving gifts. If these two famous guns appear in the outer city, I don't know. How many murders have been committed."

"Famous gun?"

Su Lun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he muttered in his heart: Oh, that girl is quite sensible.

If he gave me anything else, he would really think it was unnecessary. But "famous guns" do have an inexplicable attraction for a shooter.

Besides, it must not be easy to think about a firearm that can make a gambling-addicted young woman value it so much.

At this time, Qianjou took out another box.

This time she did not hide it, but directly opened a corner of the box, revealing a pile of green banknotes, and said: "This is five hundred thousand in cash. It is also a thank you gift."

After a pause, she added: "Charlie, the young master of the 'Leonard family', also sent someone with a message, asking if you are interested in going to the inner city to be his personal bodyguard."

Su Lun looked at the box of money and immediately thought of the fat student who looked like "Michelin".

The guy who knows how to cause trouble never disappoints.

Su Lun accepted the box of money with a smile and said, "I'll take it. Just be a bodyguard."

Qianjou raised his eyebrows and said: "I knew you were not interested, so I rejected it directly for you. It's better to hang out with my sister than go to the inner city to be a bodyguard."

"..."

Su Lun smiled and said nothing.

I used to think that Senjo was just a gang cadre, but now that I know that she is Reina's biological aunt, I realize that this boss's background is not simple.

But he didn't bother to ask. You can guess this without asking. I'm afraid it involves a thousand unpleasant past events.

......

At this time, the fight on the field was over.

The blue side won, which was different from what Su Lun guessed.

Qiantiao lost 10,000 yuan, pursed his lips, turned his head and looked at Su Lun again: "What are you buying for the next game?"

Su Lun knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he said directly: "It's still the red side."

Qian Tiao raised his eyebrows after hearing this, waved to the betting girl, doubled his bet and said: "Blue square, bet 20,000!"

Su Lun looked dumbfounded. This gambling-addicted young woman's metaphysical gambling skills came back again, probably because she wanted to follow the unlucky guy and counterattack.

Taking advantage of the opening gap, Qianjou said again: "The matter has been roughly settled, and there is nothing to worry about without you. That girl Reina did everything herself, and even sent people to clean up the cave. There were traces in it. However, there was a little trouble during the cleanup process. Terrifying deformed monsters emerged from the ground, causing a lot of casualties. The entrance to the cave in Tongzilou was also sealed, so no one would get close..."

"Yeah."

Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

The matter of killing Jack was not exposed, and no one from the inner city came to question him. This was the most ideal result.

From now on, he will still be a member of the Green Street Cross Society and a transparent person under Captain Kai.

After saying this, Qianjou glanced at Su Lun again with a slightly joking look, and said: "It is said that this time, a veteran second-level instructor and two quasi-second-level assistants in the elite class of Black Tower Academy died on the ground. In the cave. So some people speculate that there are at least second-level professionals among the killers. But they still failed to kill Reina..."

Su Lun looked as normal as he listened, as if it had nothing to do with him at all.

It is normal for outsiders to deduce this. As long as those killers are not stupid, they must be confident before taking action, so there must be second-level professionals involved.

But the killer was so well-prepared that he didn't kill Reina. This thing can be called "bizarre".

Qianjou restrained his probing eyes and seemed not to care what the truth was. He smiled slightly: "Now high-level deformed monsters have been found in the cave, so in the end everyone concluded that the problem lies with those monsters."

"Oh..."

Su Lun also pretended to be surprised.

I think so. Probably no one would think that an ordinary gang member from an outer city could handle a killer gang with at least second-level masters. Even if he is a "gun expert".

That’s fine, the monster takes the blame, and the loopholes in the logic of the matter are closed.
