Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 134: The Black Tower Top Secret (please subscribe)
"Outside the tower?"
Su Lun listened to these words and reacted in his mind before realizing what No. 19 said.
No, everyone told me that the underground world is just a city called Old Town. What does she mean by "outside the tower" now?
As a time traveler, Su Lun thought of something in an instant before forming any solid impressions in his mind.
No wonder he asked everywhere and harvested countless memory fragments, but no one had ever heard of the "Legadi Family" who was the original owner of the old town.
It turns out that they are not aborigines at all, but were sent from outside?
.......
"If you want to ask about your missing memory, I'm sorry, I don't know."
Number 9 continued: "I was just one of the people in charge of escorting the 'exiles' sent from outside the Black Tower out of the inner city. It happened that I was the one who escorted you when you were sent down. ”
Those?
Su Lun keenly caught this quantifier, frowned slightly, and asked: "You mean, I am not the only one coming from the Black Tower?"
"Yes. You are just one of them."
No. 19 confirmed: "This is the top secret of the Black Tower."
She continued: "The Black Tower is connected to the upper levels. Except for Archduke Raphael and a few high-level officials, no one knows what is going on above the Black Tower. I don't know either. But there must be other humans living there. Because every once in a while, a group of strangers will be sent down from the Black Tower. They will be cleared of all memories of the outside world and left to fend for themselves in the outer city..."
Having said this, No. 19 explained another Su Lun doubt, saying: "This is also the reason why I didn't take action in Blackadder last time. Because I knew you came from outside the tower, so it must be impossible. Have anything to do with the Umbrella Organization."
"..."
Hearing this, Su Lun fell into deep thought.
As if he had completed the most important piece of the puzzle, he suddenly felt enlightened.
Many of the problems that had troubled him before suddenly made sense because of these words.
He muttered in his heart: "I said that in such a world, there shouldn't be only one underground city. So... the black tower is the passage connecting the upper levels?"
People in the old city of Linton have no concept of "ground". Su Lun feels that even if it is not the ground, it is definitely a wider world.
Exile, escort, erase memory...
These keywords are connected together, giving Su Lun the feeling that this old town looks like an...underground prison?
The criminals outside the tower were exiled here to fend for themselves.
This situation is very familiar to some plots in Su Lun's previous life... Sydney, where the Empire of the Sun Never Sets in the 19th century exiled prisoners?
When Su Lun thought of this, instead of being surprised, he was inexplicably looking forward to it.
This world is really becoming more and more fascinating...
I thought he had already unveiled this mysterious world after traveling so long.
I never thought that I had only uncovered the tip of the iceberg.
Su Lun finally figured out the identity of the original owner.
Although... I am still confused about the Raigadi family.
However, he knew the general situation of this world.
No wonder the Black Tower has the absolute dominance of Old Lingdun, no wonder it blocks high-level alchemy knowledge, no wonder the Archduke Raphael enjoys everything...
Will the warden allow prisoners to have powerful weapons?
He remembered what Senjou said to him when he left Jiulingdun: "Only when you become strong enough can you see the scenery from high places."
It turned out to be a pun.
High places?
Not only refers to the high-level professional field, but also to the upper levels of the Black Tower!
He even guessed the meaning of the existence of Mr. Hei's "third party force".
Thinking about this, Su Lun not only did not feel the despair of being a "prisoner", but instead the eager desire to become stronger arose in his heart.
Gee, the world is so big...
Endless unknowns appeared in front of him, and Su Lun's eyes flashed with a strong desire to explore.
...........
"I think you should understand something."
No. 19 looked at Su Lun's talisman pen that had stopped for a moment, and then said: "There is another piece of information I can tell you. Maybe you won't have so many worries after listening to it."
"Oh?"
Su Lun looked like he was all ears.
He also knew that what he was thinking of, this woman could think of it too.
From the beginning, trading chips are secondary.
The most important thing is trust.
Su Lun was unwilling to completely expose her safety to someone who might be a threat to her.
Even if No. 19 does not show any malicious intent now.
Now that she has broken both arms, it seems that her energy is almost exhausted.
But if you really want to connect the arm, Su Lun is the one in the weakest position.
Number 19 pondered for a moment, and then said something that made Su Lun look at him: "You should know that 'Rakshasa girl', right?"
Su Lun raised his head and glanced at her, but did not respond.
The Rakshasa girl should be called Qianjou.
It didn't matter that No. 19 didn't wait for Su Lun's answer, because she was convinced of her judgment and continued: "Because I used to be a senior executive of the Black Tower secret agency, I am familiar with almost all of their intelligence systems. The Umbrella Organization The system is huge, and it is impossible to change it for a while. Therefore, I intercepted a lot of confidential information during this period, including your information..."
The talisman pen in Su Lun's hand did not stop, but there was some curiosity in his eyes.
After a pause, she directly told the information, saying: "I know that your name is Su Lun now, and you are a member of the 'Iron Cross Society'. You caused a scene in the inner city and were hunted down. Also. I know you have two forbidden items, [Hypnos' Black Scythe of Night] and [Oz Iceman's Shroud]. I killed three second-level professionals in the outer city before... and then encountered You were intercepted and killed by "Smoking Man" Sambu, the Umbrella organization's insider in the Cross Society, and the 'Rakshasa Girl' rescued you..."
"..."
Hearing this, Su Lun raised his eyebrows slightly. It turned out that No. 19 knew everything.
However, when she thought about the fact that she was besieged by the Umbrella Organization before, "third-party forces" participated in the operation to rescue her.
Isn’t this No. 19 also from that organization?
"You guessed it right."
No. 19 seemed to realize that Su Lun had guessed her hidden identity, and decisively admitted it.
She said: "The Rakshasa woman took such a big risk to show up to save you. I think your relationship should not be simple. They helped me out in the city before, and then I contacted Mr. Hei and decided to join That organization. So, I don’t think we have any hostile relationship, and we should even be allies to some extent.”
After a pause, she looked at Su Lun, and her tone finally became less cold, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have told you so much."
Death is not enough for a warrior like her to compromise.
When Su Lun heard this, he realized that if No. 19 was really from Mr. Hei's organization, he would really be considered a "friend, not an enemy."
No. 19 did not mince words, he directly stated his needs, and said: "I still have some things that need to be dealt with, and there are a few people that I haven't killed, so I can't die now, so I want to buy it. That pair of mechanical limbs."
After a pause, she added: "Besides, my arm is broken now, and I need someone to help me connect the mechanical limbs. If you don't mind, I would also like to ask you to help me with this."
Su Lun listened and confirmed again: "Have you joined Mr. Hei's organization?"
Number 19: "Yes. If you feel you need some necessary proof, I also have the organization's token in my storage ring. You should recognize it when you see it."
Su Lun looked at the storage ring in his hand. He just put it on as a trophy without having time to take stock of what was inside.
Looking at it, there was a gold-patterned cloak with a "§" symbol lying in the corner.
Although the pattern is slightly different, the workmanship, material and feel are exactly the same as the Qianjo piece.
Su Lun made a decision: "Okay."
