Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 120: Want to dance
"Hu...he..."
In the corner of the outer wall of a high-rise steel structure building in City No. 4, Su Lun was hanging there with a spider arm, breathing heavily.
The place where he stayed was as high as forty stories high, and the wind was very strong.
Looking down at your feet, you can see uniformed security teams, umbrella organizations in windbreakers and heavily armed Mechanic City guards searching around the building. From time to time, someone looked up from the bottom of the building and seemed to find traces of him climbing the wall.
Su Lun narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed, "The intelligence tracking capabilities of the Umbrella Organization are indeed well-deserved."
A very common saying among gangs in the outer city: Be careful, maybe the fruit vendors on the street are peripheral informants of the umbrella organization.
Just now, Su Lun learned the lesson personally.
He was walking on the street two blocks away when he suddenly noticed a fruit vendor casting an inexplicable and malicious look at him.
Su Lun shot the guy in the head without hesitation, and then saw the military-style pistol hidden in his fruit stand.
This triggered a fierce battle that forced him to hang on the outer wall to survive.
After taking a few deep breaths, Su Lun had the strength to free his hands and remove the alloy bulletproof plate on his chest.
He looked at the white muscles on his side that were about to freeze to death, his eyes slightly solemn.
He rummaged through the storage ring and found an "Advanced Frost Healing Potion". After injecting it, he gradually felt the blood circulation in that part of the muscle tissue again.
The whole person's complexion gradually recovered, and the recovery of body temperature also began to make him feel warm.
If this piece of ultra-light bulletproof armor removed from the [PX-911 Mechanical Limb] breastplate had not blocked most of the cold injuries, the round of frost bombardment just now might have killed half of his life. .
I have to say that the "Frost Giant Armor" of the city guards is really a headache.
Fortunately, Su Lun had already done some research on the equipment he had obtained during previous robberies. Otherwise, if he had not known the weak points of this thing just now, he would have had no chance of escaping.
It can attack and withstand high-pressure bombardment, and it can also output frost wind cannon in a wide range to control the target.
With Su Lun's current strength, he might be able to kill one or two with all his skills, but they won't give you a chance to play one-on-one. Instead, they will form a well-trained tactical encirclement by the entire team.
He could only run away in embarrassment after being beaten.
Two minutes later, the effect of the medicine took effect violently, the frosty feeling dissipated widely, and the limbs were finally no longer stiff.
Su Lun tried to move the spider legs, and most of the previous feeling of sluggish nerves disappeared.
He knew that even if he hung on the outer wall, he wouldn't be discovered for long.
Looking up, I looked up at the "middle-rise urban area" that is 70 to 80 stories high. It was brightly lit and extremely prosperous.
This was the last possible escape method he could think of.
Because the "Moon Hotel" is in the business opportunity district above your head.
He didn't waste much time, and the powered spider arm climbed up the building.
...........
When Su Lun joined the Cross Society on his first day, he witnessed the wonderful death duel between "Red Devil" Gronn and "Sinister Scorpion" Arbok in the arena of Scarlet Bunker.
In the end, Goron survived and Aberke was killed.
Aberke was an "A-class wanted criminal" active in the inner city at that time, and he was also a notorious thief.
Not to mention anything else, this guy's ability to escape is really nothing to say.
Su Lun personally witnessed the control power of the Umbrella Organization in the inner city today, and was even more shocked that that guy could commit crimes frequently in the past and still get away with it for so many years.
At that time, Su Lun also peeled off a memory from the guy's soul fragment: "It's a pity that the [forbidden object] is still in the 'Moon Hotel' and has not been brought out, otherwise I would not have been caught. ”
Now that he was cornered, he thought of this episode of Aberke's obsession.
With that thing, a big thief can be confident that he can avoid being traced by the umbrella organization. Su Lun felt that he could also solve his situation.
However, what he was worried about was that if the thing was no longer in the hotel, it would be a really desperate situation.
After all, the "middle-class urban area" is a wealthy area in the inner city. The city defense force there is several times that of the lower level, and there are also a large number of high-level professionals.
This requires luck.
.......
The buildings in the inner city are very dense, and almost all high-rise buildings have certain link buildings, such as steam pipes, overpasses, and iron frames.
This is also convenient for Su Lun.
He climbed to the roof of one building, and then followed the attached building to the outer wall of another building. He deliberately avoided the attention of the crowd and quickly climbed to the commercial block.
The good news is that the "Moon Hotel" is a very high-end hotel in the inner city. You can see its pink neon sign hanging on the building from a distance.
The bad news is, it's right in the middle of the strip.
Su Lun had only one option if he wanted to enter the hotel, which was to walk directly from the street.
This street called "Dunwich Street" is similar to the high-end street in his previous life, with shops on both sides hanging with various bright signs.
Unlike the streets in the outer city, which only sell daily necessities such as rice, flour, grains and oils, there are many luxury stores here, including jewelry shops where ladies gather, high-end tailor-made suit shops where gentlemen hang out, luggage shops, and cane shops. , musical instrument shop...
Everyone on the street looks rich or noble, and their clothes and jewelry give people a colorful and powerful visual impact. It feels like the scene in the outer city is like a scene in a black and white movie. This is the real era of color movies.
While Su Lun was looking at the street, out of the corner of his eye he saw a palm with a silver lion head in the window of a shop selling men's walking sticks, with a price tag of "348,888 liso"; and in the glass display cabinet of a jewelry store, I saw a diamond necklace that was purely an ornament, priced at "1,256,666 Liso"; a silk scarf, "7,777 Liso", three months' salary of an ordinary worker in the outer city...
Before Su Lun had time to take a closer look at the bustling street in front of him, his brows suddenly frowned.
Because at this time, he had already noticed that as soon as he appeared on the block, several eyes were wandering on him.
But then, the corner of his mouth raised a relaxed arc.
He muttered to himself: "I was discovered so quickly..."
This time, feeling the obviously malicious gaze, Su Lun did not dodge or draw his gun.
Putting on a suit jacket, tidying up the messy wig due to climbing on the wall, not making any move to lower the brim of the hat to cover it up, and calmly walked out...
The curve of the corners of his mouth became wider and wider, and suddenly it turned into a bright grin.
Happy like a child.
Could the situation be worse?
No, not anymore.
This is the last chance.
Want to dance?
Of course.
Su Lun was like a dancer on stage. At this moment, all the spotlights were on him.
He... is the only protagonist.
With the soothing melody played in the mall underfoot, we made a grand entrance. He walked briskly, occasionally turning around to avoid others, his clothes fluttering lightly, and he would give friendly smiles to strangers passing by. He was like dancing a solo waltz, aloof, elegant, indifferent and calm.
"He" likes this feeling of dancing in desperate situations.
At this moment, it seems that the world is only composed of stage, music, and audience.
.......
The few plainclothes men from the Umbrella Organization or the City Guard thought that Su Lun hadn't noticed them yet, so they slowly surrounded them.
After taking a few steps, they clearly saw that when Su Lun raised his hand to smooth his wig, he was holding a device with a red button in his hand.
When they saw the inconspicuous button, the expressions of the plainclothes men suddenly changed, and the momentum of the crowd dispersed instantly, and they no longer had any thoughts of trying to arrest them by force.
A hurried report came from the communicator.
"Retreat, retreat immediately!"
"The target was found in 'Dunwich Commercial Street'. The suspect was holding an unknown device suspected to be a 'pressure detonator', please give instructions..."
"There are a large number of citizens at the scene. Do not use range attack weapons. Do not get close to the suspect, do not cause panic, and evacuate the crowd from the outside. Top freelancers have been notified to come and deal with it..."
"Yes."
"..."
At this moment, there was no one else in Su Lun's eyes. He walked and watched casually.
At this time, a colorful ball suddenly rolled to my feet.
Su Lun lowered his head, picked up the ball, and handed it to the little blond boy chasing after him.
The little boy wearing a plaid horse hit the ball and said politely: "Thank you, sir."
Su Lun touched his forehead and showed a bright smile: "You're welcome."
The little boy's parents were a few meters away, looking at their cute and polite son with happy smiles on their faces.
"Goodbye, uncle."
"Goodbye kids..."
Suellen smiled.
What a wonderful world.
He didn't feel that picking up the ball wasted his time, but instead felt that he suddenly felt happy.
Squeezing the lighter with the red button, Su Lun put his hand back into his trouser pocket and walked towards the Moon Hotel in a swaggering manner.
Probably...will be treated as a bomb by those guys?
Su Lun thought so.
But I believe it myself, who wouldn’t?
.......
There is a boutique jewelry store not far from the entrance of Moon Hotel, with bright samples in the window.
This is a shop that young girls like to visit.
At this moment, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old black-haired girl and a blonde girl happened to walk out of the shop together.
"Leina, I heard that you went to the outer city yesterday? The outer city is very dangerous, why would you want to go to that place..."
"Yeah. Let's go and gain some knowledge."
"What is there to learn from a place full of sin, filth and plague?"
"Yulia, the outer city is not that bad. I found that the outer city is not as terrible as everyone said."
"How is it possible... My mother said that the outer city is a paradise for gangsters and criminals. Poverty will make them do a lot of crazy and unreasonable things, such as kidnapping, selling children, and people like us. It would be dangerous for a girl to go... I will never leave the city in my life."
"..."
When Reina heard her best friend say such words, a flash of light suddenly flashed in her mind, and she whispered softly: "Gangsters...actually there are good people too."
The blonde girl argued: "No way!"
"Yes..."
At this moment, Reina suddenly wanted to argue, but suddenly she heard someone on the street calling her name: "Miss Reina!"
Rena looked up and saw a stranger walking towards her.
She always felt that the voice was very familiar, but she frowned, as if she was trying to remember.
Because she has never seen this face before.
At this time, the burly bodyguard not far away also saw her expression and immediately blocked her side.
.......
Su Lun did not expect that by such a coincidence, he would meet the girl Reina who was shopping.
He did not flinch at the sudden move of the bodyguard beside Lena. He smiled and waved to Lei like an old friend, "Hey, Miss Lena, long time no see."
Leina just thought she didn’t recognize this person, but when she heard the voice, suddenly her big, trembling eyes showed a look of surprise, and she blurted out: "Mr. Su Lun!"
Su Lun, who doesn’t wear smoky makeup, actually looks very good.
With a well-fitted suit, your every move shows elegance and calmness. The elegant and confident smile on his face makes people feel warm and friendly.
Reina looked at Su Lun who suddenly had a bowel movement and asked hesitantly: "Mr. Su Lun...you..."
She originally wanted to ask why Su Lun became like this, but instead said: "Why are you here?"
On the side, Yulia looked at Su Lun, who had a good temperament, and was also curious about when her best friend met such a handsome guy. She asked with gossip in her eyes: "Rena, is this...?"
Su Lun has a resolute temperament that is completely different from that of the young man in the greenhouse, which makes him suddenly attract attention.
Leina thought for a moment and then introduced: "Mr. Su Lun... is my friend."
Su Lun bent down very naturally, took the slender hand that the blonde girl held out for a second, and kissed her hand: "Oh, beautiful lady, the dimples that overflow from the corners of your mouth when you smile are so fascinating. ..."
Old Neptune opened his mouth. The young lady from a noble family has seen too many playboys.
But at this moment, Yulia felt very strange. She didn't see any annoying light in this man's eyes.
She withdrew her kissed left hand and returned the same graceful gesture: "Thank you for your compliment."
Seeing that he was really a friend of his own lady, the bodyguard of the second-level professional also quietly moved away.
Leina was still curious about why Su Lun suddenly came to the inner city, and asked again: "Mr. Su Lun..."
However, before she could say anything, a pair of big hands went directly to her shoulders, like an extremely close friend.
Su Lun suddenly made such an intimate gesture, causing Reina's pretty face to freeze. She wanted to say something, but everything went blank for an instant.
Before she could react in her mind, she felt a rush of heat rushing to her ears, but it was Su Lun who whispered in her ear: "Don't move, do me a favor."
Hearing this, Reina didn't know why she suddenly became less nervous.
As if he were back in the cave again, the man would always use a commanding tone to ask him to do something, but every time, he saved his life.
.......
Su Lun was not here to pick up girls. Just a second ago, he found himself being targeted by a high-level professional.
That look gave him a very dangerous feeling.
Su Lun knew very well that the other party would never give him time to go to the hotel to find banned objects.
If you find the right opportunity, you will definitely take action.
So, he needs a presence that makes the other party wary of taking action.
I originally planned to find a rich young man on the street, but I didn't expect to meet Reina who was more suitable.
When it comes to weight, the eldest lady of the Reyes family is naturally the most suitable person.
......
When he kidnapped Reina, Su Lun did not forget to turn to her best friend and ask cheerfully: "Beautiful lady, do you mind if I take up a little of your best friend's time?"
Yulia really thought they were close friends, Yingying smiled and said: "Of course~"
Su Lun responded with a kind smile and led Reina away.
Only Reina, the client, continues to be trapped.
After all, it’s not just a cave with monsters and no one watching. In public, she also felt that it was inappropriate for the eldest lady of the Reyes family to be hugged by a man's neck.
Especially in front of my best friends and bodyguards.
Is it possible that friends in outer cities all greet each other with such enthusiasm?
Her cheeks were slightly hot, and after thinking wildly in her mind for a moment, she took the initiative and asked: "Mr. Su Lun, what help do you... need from me?"
Su Lun bluntly said: "I have been targeted and I am in a very dangerous situation."
"Huh?"
Leina looked up at the face that was still smiling, and felt that the understatement was inconsistent with the urgent situation coming out of his mouth.
But when you think about the guy in the cave always having this tone, it becomes clear.
Thinking about it, she asked in a low voice: "Then...what can I help you with?"
Su Lun smiled slightly and said: "You were kidnapped by me."
"???"
This topic made Reina feel like her brain was short-circuited and she lost her ability to think.
Hijacking?
After a moment, it was connected normally.
It turns out that he was being held hostage by his neck?
No wonder Mr. Su Lun would do such a strange thing.
She suddenly figured out something. But he didn't seem to realize that he had become a "meat ticket" at all, and he didn't feel panic at all.
On the contrary, because of the skin-to-skin contact, she smelled the faint smell of blood on Su Lun's body. I guessed that behind Mr. Su Lun's indifferent expression, the situation was already very urgent.
Leina thought about it and asked weakly: "Then...then...what do I have to do with you?"
"No, just follow me."
Su Lun said something. After seeing this very cooperative meat ticket, he felt very good. After thinking about it, he added: "Well... if possible, you can show your emotions a little more nervously."
With that said, Su Lun had already pulled Reina into the door of the "Moon Hotel".
Leina then said "Oh" belatedly.
.......
Not far away, Reina’s best friend Yulia was stunned.
What do you mean by "taking up some time"?
Go straight to the hotel?
Isn't it nice of you to show off so openly in front of a single girl?
