Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 81: Curse Space
Because he had experienced it once before in Storm Manor, Su Lun was not too surprised when he looked at the sudden changes in the surrounding scene this time.
"The basement of this house...is actually a 'cursed space'?"
Su Lun frowned.
Suddenly coming from the basement of No. 88 Ginkgo Street to a strange scene, he suddenly understood why the blind body of his previous tenant had disappeared.
As expected, he was sucked into this special space.
The usual explanation for "cursed space" is that the energy of ancient powerful cursed objects overflowed, and a special space gradually formed over time (yes, but not entirely), but the specific cause has not yet been completely deciphered.
This is a secondary space like the folding space of a storage ring. It is like bubbles in the air and contains certain special laws. It can also be understood as a "game copy", with plots and monsters.
The scene in the space, or a fragment of memory obsession in the life of the original owner of the cursed object, or a nightmare, a life and death experience... are usually very strange and full of dangers.
And once you enter, it means that you can only get out alive if you find the correct way to clear the level, otherwise you will be trapped here forever.
Of course, after successfully breaking it open, you may be able to see the "powerful cursed object" that creates a special space.
.......
"A cursed space that triggers conditions with just one thought... It's a bit evil."
Although he was inexplicably drawn into a cursed space, Su Lun immediately realized something.
Generally, the entrance to a "cursed space" is easy to identify. There is usually a dark distorted light door, or some kind of mirage. It will be inhaled only when you get close to a certain distance.
And this one is obviously something special.
It depends on your imagination.
If Su Lun hadn't thought about the abnormality in the house before, there probably would have been no problems as an ordinary tenant.
It was because of this thought that this special entry condition was triggered.
As explained by the Eye of Omniscient: "It will only exist when you realize it exists."
However, Su Lun's character made him calm down instantly.
If this space is destined to die, the panic is purely unnecessary.
If there is a way to break the situation, being calm will give him a greater chance of survival.
Just like the opening of countless horror games in the past, Su Lun instantly entered a state of thinking. Calmly and carefully recalling all useful clues in your mind, you observe everything in front of you.
Last time in the cursed space of Storm Manor, the biggest boss was the "ghost species" Miss Pestoya. Because of his escape, he successfully cleared the level and was sent out.
With the experience of clearing levels, Su Lun felt that he could always find a way to break the situation.
Either rely on wisdom or guns.
This is a place that looks like a hospital. The walls are painted white and there are iron chairs at the door of the clinic. There are no windows, just rooms on both sides. The light flickers on and off, and the night wind blows in like a ghost howling, exactly like a scene in a horror movie.
He touched his waist and the gun was still there, and he also brought the storage ring with him. This was good news.
He used the "Eye of Omniscient" to look at the things around him again, and he could identify them normally, just like the real world.
What: [broken wall tiles], [hexagonal gas lamp], [rusty iron chair], [a moldy mass of dog poop]...
After observing for a while, Su Lun did not find any useful information.
But no matter where you look, this corridor is eerily quiet.
Su Lun did not move around randomly.
Suddenly, he thought of something and thought: "If I am in a special space now, in this case, the Eye of Omniscience should be able to produce something..."
Thinking of this, Su Lun dilated his pupils, and then identified everything in his field of vision as "an item".
The next second, I saw a different identification result.
[Special scene where obsession condenses]
Description: This is the scene in the inpatient department of Harwell Hospital in Old London a thousand years ago;
How to crack it: Find the owner of this resentment and recite its full name, and you will be able to break free from this obsession.
.......
"It seems like you have found a way to clear the level?"
Su Lun looked at the prompt in front of him and raised his eyebrows slightly.
The Eye of Omniscient did not disappoint, and directly told him how to leave this cursed space.
But when he thought about it carefully, he discovered something was wrong.
"Reciting the 'full name' of the obsessed master? This... seems to be the point."
Su Lun keenly captured some highlights.
The appraisal found a way to clear the level, but because he didn't see it, the Omniscient Eye didn't know what the name of the resentful master was.
Of course, he can also take a gamble and make an appraisal in person after meeting the big BOSS. See if it kills you first, or if you recite its name first.
Moreover, if a [Human] or [Resentment] were identified and the category was introduced instead of the name, Su Lun felt that he might not die on the spot.
“I remember the scene I saw before was called ‘Halvi’s Morgue of Resentment’? Isn’t the big boss in the morgue now?”
Su Lun thought for a moment, stood there for twenty seconds, and then probably knew what he was going to do next.
He is quite familiar with this opening.
Now that we know how to break the situation, the best option is to find clues elsewhere in the hospital, know the full name of the "Lord of Resentment", and then recite it and get out.
The worst-case scenario is that he has to go to the morgue and face the big boss.
The worst-case scenario is that the big BOSS will come out and wander around the world, and suddenly meet...
.......
"If the resentment master in this space is as wise as Pestoya, it may not be so troublesome to clear the level. If it is a murderous monster... it depends on luck to save it."
Su Lun didn’t dare to be careless
The blind tenant before was from the inner city
Morgue is a very key word, usually that kind of place is at the bottom of the hospital.
Su Lun had no intention of going there directly.
His goal is also very clear, he plans to take a look at the archives or some duty room. Although this hospital is a thousand years old, judging from the size of the hospital, there should be a lot of employees, and there is a high probability that there will be some scheduling management system. If you find today's duty schedule, you will probably know who is in the hospital.
The long corridor was empty, the gas lights flickered on and off, and the vision seemed to be blurry as if it were blinded by black gauze.
Su Lun pulled out his gun, lowered his breathing, and tried not to make any noise.
He quietly walked to the door of a ward and looked inside through the small glass on the door. There were seven or eight beds covered with white sheets in the ward, but they were empty.
There was a small card hanging on the door that read: Janice George, Nurse on Duty.
The hospital was unusually quiet.
"That's not right...why is there no one there?"
Su Lun glanced at the ward and then at the nurse's station not far away. There was no one there. "Even if it's a horror movie, there should be some zombies and ghosts, right?"
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, his eyes suddenly sharpened and he discovered something keenly.
Without any hesitation, he drew his gun and pulled the trigger behind him.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Two rapid and slight gunshots broke the eerie silence.
[Green Ghost] Because it is equipped with a square box muzzle suppressor, the sound is not ear-piercing, and it does not spread far in this claustrophobic corridor.
"Eh..."
After Su Lun fired twice, he focused his vision and saw two bullets embedded in the wall. A look of surprise appeared on his face: "You missed?"
The atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.
His pupils shrank slightly, and he leaned his back against the wall, scanning the empty corridor in front of him with stern eyes.
Su Lun remembered very clearly that he had just seen a figure in the reflection of the glass of the ward door. A female nurse with blue face, black eyes and blood stains on her body was standing diagonally behind him with a knife...
He fired instinctively, but unexpectedly missed the target.
And not only did he miss, but the female nurse holding the knife disappeared?
.......
"Is it a 'ghost species'?"
Su Lun's face was slightly solemn.
