Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 121: 【The Iceman’s Shroud】
The moment Su Lun hugged Reina's arm, the killing intent that seemed to be scratching on his back suddenly weakened a lot.
The eldest lady of the Reyes family still has a lot of cards.
Even if someone from the Umbrella Organization wants to pursue the murderer, they have to worry about the personal safety of this young lady.
Su Lun did not dare to delay. While there were not many people surrounding him, he had to find the [Forbidden Object] as soon as possible.
Because Meupiao was very cooperative, the two entered the hotel lobby smoothly.
As soon as he entered and saw the environment of the hotel, Su Lun immediately recalled some scenes in his mind, and was even more sure where the forbidden object was hidden.
Su Lun was not sure about the key to the hotel room and had no intention of going up directly. It will be very troublesome if it cannot be broken through violence.
He went to the front desk, planning to open a room and get the key as usual.
I originally thought they would have to show their ID or something, but the front desk manager greeted them warmly.
The money was confiscated and the documents were not checked.
A flattering smile.
I didn’t want any luxurious suite, I just wanted an ordinary double room in Room 505.
Upstairs, our hottie said weakly that this hotel is her family's property.
The manager knows her.
Ask me again, half of the real estate in this commercial street belongs to her family.
Well, Su Lun almost forgot that she was an inhumane little rich woman.
.......
Up to the fifth floor, the attention locked on him still did not disappear.
Su Lun ignored it and opened the door.
The Moon Hotel is a high-end hotel, and its decoration is no worse than those five-star hotels in previous lives.
The price of this kind of room is not cheap. The "A Pass" great thief Yabok chose this place because enjoyment is one thing, but more importantly, safety. The more luxurious the hotel, the less frequent the ward rounds.
The Reyes family is behind this hotel, and there are a lot of important people in the hotel. There are few ward rounds, the number of people staying is low, and it is not easy to find hidden things.
Although Reina didn't mind helping Su Lun, she was also confused as to why he brought her to the hotel room.
But before she had time to ask, Su Lun said as soon as she entered the door: "Close your eyes. Otherwise, you will be in a lot of trouble later."
"Oh."
Although Reina didn't understand what Su Lun was going to do, she just closed her eyes obediently without asking any questions as if she was in a cave.
Su Lun really didn’t want Reina to see what she was going to do, otherwise she would be in trouble.
And the more he spoke, the more he exposed himself.
As soon as I entered this room, the picture in my mind became clear.
Then he set his sights on the corner of the ceiling.
Nothing can be seen with the naked eye, just white paint.
He stepped on the stool, then reached out and touched the corner, as if he had caught an invisible strip.
"Found it! It's really here!"
Su Lun was delighted.
He didn't know what the forbidden object was, he only knew that it was stuck in an inconspicuous corner.
Now that I have it in my hand, I look at it with my omniscient eye and immediately know what the transparent thing in my hand is.
【The Iceman's Shroud】
Description: It is a covering cloth for the sleeping person and a life belt for the living;
Curse Characteristics: It can seal a corpse whose legal level is no higher than the item itself, so that it does not leak any breath; of course, if you are willing to pay the price of your life, you can also use it as an 'invisibility cloak', and no one can detect you Whereabouts, or breath; if you get close enough to the shroud, it will absorb your life tenfold; if you insist on wrapping it around your body, the breath of death will make your life evaporate a thousand times;
Detailed explanation: This is a shroud that was peeled off from a mysterious ancient corpse at least 20,000 years ago. It has absorbed extraordinary curse properties; have you seen it? No, no one can see it.
When Su Lun touched the transparent strip in his hand before, he felt it felt slightly strange.
Now that he saw this detailed explanation, he realized that it was the feeling of life passing ten times.
Furthermore, the cursed nature of this forbidden object can be carried with you at any time, and it will **** your life tenfold at any time.
Wearing it for one day and using it up a thousand times is equivalent to losing more than three years of life!
However, compared to being caught and killed on the spot, this price is simply worth it.
"No wonder Naya Burke thinks that if he gets this thing, he will be confident enough to escape the Umbrella Organization's roundup... This thing is simply an escape weapon!"
After Su Lun got this thing, most of the death cloud hanging over his heart suddenly disappeared.
Betting on life,
I seem to have won again.
However, this was not the time to feel emotional. Su Lun picked up the bandage about two meters long and began to wrap it around his body. Just when I was thinking about how to wrap the whole body with such a short bandage, my thoughts came together and the bandage seemed to come to life.
It was like a transparent little snake that greedily sucked the breath of a living person. It swam around Su Lun's body, circle after circle, and entangled him tightly in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Su Lun could feel that he was **** tightly like a mummy.
He looked down at his hands and could still see them.
But in a blink of an eye, he looked at the mirror in the room. What was very strange was that in the room where there were obviously two living people, only Reina could be seen with her eyes closed.
The place where Su Lun stood was empty!
"Completely disappeared..."
Seeing himself missing in the mirror, Su Lun finally saw hope of escaping.
However, he also discovered a problem.
It just disappeared in the optical sense, his body still existed.
The floor stalls he stepped on also had obvious footprints.
Su Lun knew that some experts with super strong senses would be able to detect this abnormality, so he did not dare to stay in the room any longer.
Before leaving, he glanced at Reina, who was still standing obediently, and said: "Remember, no matter what happens. If someone asks a question, you will be killed by me. I kidnapped you and threatened you with death. Forced to go upstairs."
Leina nodded obediently: "Oh."
Su Lun thought for a while and said softly: "Thank you."
Hearing this, Reina did not open her eyes, a slight smile appeared on her pretty face.
Then she heard the door slamming.
For a long time, there was no movement in the room.
Leina guessed something and asked cautiously, "Mr. Su Lun, are you still there?"
No one responded.
She asked again: "Can I open my eyes?"
Still no one responded.
At this time, Reina still did not dare to open her eyes because she remembered Mr. Su Lun saying that opening her eyes would cause trouble.
After waiting for another moment, suddenly there was movement outside the windowpane.
A person jumped in and asked eagerly: "Miss Lena, are you okay?"
Leina opened her eyes again.
Su Lun’s presence was already gone in the room.
What happened just now seemed like a dream.
.......
The eldest lady of the Reyes family was kidnapped, and the matter quickly spread to the top of the umbrella organization.
This abominable kidnapping incident immediately caused violent turmoil in the upper class society.
When all the top professionals at the headquarters heard the news and rushed to rescue people, they suddenly heard that the matter had been resolved.
The hostages were rescued.
But the suspect disappeared.
The technical staff of the Umbrella Organization carefully inspected Room 505 of the Moon Hotel.
A calm, middle-aged man with a dark face was listening to his subordinate's report in the room.
"So...you, the city defense department, the security team, and a total of thirty elite teams came here, but did you still let the suspect escape under your nose?"
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Major General. We did watch him hijack the room where the eldest lady of the Rais family entered. Then... we were afraid that he would hurt the hostage, so we didn't rush to do it... But we were waiting for the senior members of the organization. When the professionals arrived, Miss Reina was the only one left in the room."
"Haha..."
The middle-aged man suppressed the anger in his heart.
Originally, intercepting and killing the Cross Society **** team was just a trivial task.
After all the people are cleaned up and the "contaminants" are contained, there will be no trouble at all.
Unexpectedly, a second-level professional led a team to intercept and kill a group of "little miscellaneous fish" from outer city gangs, and actually had others kill several of them, and they still escaped?
After that, so many resources were mobilized, so forget it if the person is not caught.
Now there is a kidnapping case that is known throughout the city, and now the person has escaped again?
If it weren’t for the capable subordinates he brought in front of him, whose abilities have been recognized, the middle-aged people would really suspect that the newcomers in their umbrella organization are all idiots!
Although it was confirmed that the fugitive had the ability to be a quasi-second-level professional, it also proved that there were major loopholes in the organization's internal intelligence system.
Otherwise, how could such a strong person be just an unknown person in the Cross Society, and completely blank within the umbrella organization?
Thinking of this, the senior executive of the umbrella organization was naturally furious.
"Are there any clues to the suspect's identity? Don't say you didn't find out about the highly recognizable colonial clothing."
"There are clues. We retrieved the files based on the clues and found that a few months ago, the Shadow Alley black market did auction a never-recorded 'gold quality' spider breeding blueprint. And from the perspective of efficacy , and basically consistent..."
"A few months ago? Haha... You mean that at least a veteran firearms expert, a fugitive who knows mysteries and no waiters, has only been promoted to a formal professional for a few months? A novice professional for a few months, just Have dozens of your reorganized teams been fooled around?"
"...."
The atmosphere was awkward.
The clerk was scolded **** throughout the whole process.
But that's the truth, and these are the clues they found.
Although, they themselves don’t believe it.
The middle-aged man knew that getting angry now would not solve the problem, so he asked again: "Have you figured out why the robber came to kidnap the lady of the Reyes family? I heard when I came here before that the two seemed to know each other? ”
"Yes. The eldest lady of the Reis family was also accompanied by her bodyguard and Yulia, the eldest lady of the Cortez family. They both confirmed that they knew each other. But Miss Reina provided Without any more information, they just said they were coerced, so we couldn’t ask more questions."
"Where is this room?"
"There are some unusual traces in the corners of the ceiling. After investigation and comparison, the trace section personnel found that there should have been a transparent object posted there. We investigated the relevant files and speculated that this may be the original theft of the Bravo family treasure house. The forbidden object lost in the game——[The Iceman of Oz’s Shroud].”
"So, you want to say that you have been investigating for several years and failed to find the stolen goods. The suspect came and took it away, and then borrowed the banned item and escaped?"
"Yes..."
After listening to the report of his subordinates, the middle-aged man looked through the file records of the entire arrest process, and the anger on his face turned into solemn thinking.
“From the beginning, whether he used a taxi to mislead the pursuit or used a fake code to rush the taxi later, the suspect showed extraordinary calmness... His thinking was very clear, and he was very clear during the entire anti-roundup process. He showed a very precise purpose. He first went to City Area 4, was blocked, and then came to the Moon Hotel to collect the banned items... Therefore, his purpose was very clear, which was to escape!"
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man's eyes flashed.
"Notify everyone that the focus is to block and investigate the No. 4 urban area. The suspect's destination is still in the No. 4 urban area. Special investigation will be carried out to investigate the rivers, sewer pipes, and smuggling channels leading to the outer city..."
"Yes!"
After the middle-aged man gave the order, his brows still did not relax.
"To be able to respond so quickly in the warehouse, it is not ruled out that he knew in advance that [Isaac's Alchemy Codex] was hidden in this batch of goods. This is strange. Sambu should not have been exposed yet. How did the news leak out...By the way, has there been any change in the Philo and the forces behind her?"
"Not yet."
"Keep an eye on them!"
"Yes!"
"Also, there is a high probability that you won't be able to catch that guy. Prepare to intercept and kill him in the outer city. Don't you have that kid's **** clothes? Inform Sergey, the "epidemic doctor" of the Crow Gang, and ask him to kill him. find out. Inform Sambu to intercept and kill, and the suspect must not be allowed to meet with the senior officials of the Cross Society! ”
"Yes!"
"The most important point is that the Duke's Palace has issued a death order, and the notes cannot be lost! If they are strayed out and contaminate other people, it will have a huge impact on us in Dawn City. Remember, as long as anyone comes into contact with the notes, , clean them up! This time the matter is so big, if people still run away, don’t come back!"
"Yes!"
