Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 157: Four corpses, four alchemy items
The cursed space is cut off from the outside world, so if you want to control the mortality rate, the hunting groups of the five major families must send people in.
Su Lun guessed this possibility, so he always paid attention to some people with evil intentions in the team.
He didn’t want to find materials by himself and be used as “fertilizer”.
I have always noticed a vague "malice" in the team. After observing for a while, I naturally discovered this man wearing a deerstalker hat.
The reason why the malice comes and goes is because his malice is directed at everyone in the team, not Su Lun alone
More than sixty hunters filed into the hotel, and Su Lun followed the guy and walked in.
There was no one on the street outside, but the restaurant was very lively.
This is an extremely luxurious ancient hotel with exquisite candlestick-style classical crystal chandeliers and artistic female body murals. The lights illuminate the warm-toned decoration, making people feel a heavy sense of luxury as soon as they enter. .
In addition to the hunters, there are also some staff in the lobby, such as the well-behaved front desk lady, the doorman, and the serious-faced security guard wearing a black windbreaker. But these people are enveloped in a faint black aura. They are traces of contamination.
Su Lun followed the guy wearing the deerstalker hat and walked straight through.
That guy seemed to be very familiar with the layout and environment of the hotel, and his purpose was very obvious. As soon as he entered, he walked towards the guest room area, looking back from time to time to be alert to whether there was anyone following him.
This kind of anti-tracking method is of little use to Su Lun now.
He followed quietly, and his super high neural reaction speed allowed him to easily catch the opponent's turning and turning around, and then avoid it in advance.
After walking for a while, Su Lun saw the guy stop in front of the door of "Room 1021", pretending to be a smoking tenant, and waited there for a while.
“Hey, isn’t this room 1021 one of the rooms that must not be touched? What is this guy doing here?”
Su Lun looked slightly curious.
Without any thought, this guy came directly to this room.
The information we received before said that this room must not be opened. Once it is opened, it is very likely to trigger a very terrifying group destruction scenario, and it seems that some terrifying "ghost species" will appear.
Is this the key to controlling mortality?
Or, is it simply misleading information that someone deliberately leaked?
Su Lun looked on coldly and did not stop him.
He knew that this guy was definitely not seeking death. Since he was doing this, even if it was really dangerous as rumored, he probably knew some way to survive.
Furthermore, Su Lun had guessed before that the background plot of the cursed space of [1911 Hotel] had something to do with Room 1021.
Otherwise, on the same first floor with the same pollution level, why would there be inexplicably a few more special rooms?
It is said to be a "survival mode", but in fact it is also a "plot decryption mode". There is always more than one way to clear the cursed space.
But judging from the information obtained so far, this space is full of information on **** monsters, and there is almost no information on the relevant background plot.
The hunters also want to make money, and they probably don't want to "meddle in their own business" to trigger any high-risk plot. No one will meddle in their own business.
But Su Lun is different, what he needs is on the second floor.
The current intelligence there is almost blank, and he needs to collect more useful information.
Now seeing this sly-looking guy going to room 1021 with "malice", Su Lun felt that he must go and have a look.
At this moment, he watched the guy in the deerstalker hat take advantage of the waiter to disappear around the corner of the corridor. He had already taken out the lockpicking tool and was tinkering with the door lock
The guy was looking left and right while fiddling with the lock.
“KaKaKa”
The door lock core made a slight metallic sound, which was the sound of the tool testing the correct position of the marble.
Su Lun leaned against the corner of the corridor, took out the silencer, and unhurriedly screwed up the barrel of the gun.
He could clearly tell the progress of this guy's lock-picking skills from the sound without even looking at it.
The technique was pretty good, but I made a few mistakes due to nervous hand shaking.
Then, after waiting for nearly a minute, I heard a "click".
Su Lun heard the slight "creep" of the door opening at the corner, and suddenly rushed out.
His speed was extremely fast, and he appeared in front of the door in just a few steps.
The man locked the door before he could close it.
Suddenly someone grabbed the door, and the man with a guilty conscience trembled in fright.
Before he could react, the muzzle of a gun was pressed against his head.
Su Lun pushed the guy into the house and closed the door.
“Tell me, what are you doing in here.”
“What do you mean?”
The gun was pointed at his head, and he was trembling a little when he spoke.
Su Lun looked lazily at the guy who turned pale with fright. He didn't pay attention first, but looked at the room with his peripheral vision.
This room is very tidy and does not look like someone is living in it.
However, he immediately saw a pair of feet with corpse spots on the white bed.
“Corpse?”
Su Lun is not surprised.
If it is true that ghosts will appear in this room after midnight, then it makes sense that the tenants here would die.
But looking at the corpse spots, it seems that he has been dead for a long time.
Because there was a screen blocking it, Su Lun could not see the whole picture. He took two steps and wanted to move over.
At this time, the guy opposite him seemed to feel that Su Lun's mind was not on the gun, and rushed forward with a glance, trying to grab the gun and kill him.
then
Su Lun easily dodged and hit his head with the **** of a gun.
Then he pulled the trigger without any hesitation.
“force u~”
“force u~”
Special gunshots with silencers sounded.
Two shots accurately shattered the kneecap. The man in front of him had his legs weak and knelt down.
“Ah”
A scream.
As soon as he wailed out, Su Lun pointed the gun at his head and said coldly: "If you don't want to get your head blown off, just shut up."
The man was in severe pain, sweat was pouring from his forehead, and he was still talking recently: "We are all hunters, what do you mean!"
Su Lun said calmly: "Tell me why you came to this room and all the information you know."
The man originally wanted to quibble and hide his purpose, but listening to the cold voice, he had no doubt that as long as what he said did not satisfy the other party, he would be killed immediately.
He endured the severe pain and threatened viciously: "If you kill me, you will die too!"
Su Lun ignored his threat, because at this moment he had already seen the body on the bed.
This is a male corpse with a blood-stained sack covering his face.
When the Omniscient Eye looked at it, information immediately appeared.
【faceless man】
Detailed explanation: A special resentful corpse containing powerful fire energy; one of the sacrificial materials required for an evil ritual; if the corpse is damaged or moved out of the room, it will be discovered immediately by the spell caster;
Once again, it was determined that the sack on the face of the corpse was actually an alchemical item.
【Cursed Sack】
Detailed explanation: Cover your face with a sack, who knows you? This is a sack stained with special corpse energy. It is placed over the head to protect against attacks by specific evil spirits. It is a murder weapon and a tool to restrain evil spirits;
Evil ritual?
These words are particularly eye-catching.
Su Lun frowned slightly when he saw this, suddenly realizing that things were not that simple.
His thoughts immediately started racing, and he suddenly guessed the purpose of several forbidden rooms on the first floor.
Looking at Su Lun, who seemed a little dazed, the man with his legs broken thought that his threat had worked. He sneered and said: "Now that the door to room 1021 has been opened, you are dead! Anyone who knows how to do it will do it. ”
But before he finished speaking, Su Lun interrupted him and said expressionlessly: "You want to say that at midnight, this corpse will turn into a 'ghost species'. Kill this time People coming in. And then you put the sack on the body's head so it doesn't attack you?"
As soon as these words came out, the confidence on the man's face disappeared. His face turned from white to black, and he pointed at Su Lun with disbelief, as if he had seen a monster more terrifying than the aberration.
“You, you, you”
His heart was roaring, why would others know this secret!
The man dragged his remaining legs back and forth, and finally leaned against the wall, with no way to retreat.
Su Lun tilted his head and glanced at him, then pulled the trigger.
“force u~”
“force u~”
Two more shots broke the man's arms.
Su Lun has lost the patience to waste time on such people: "Now that the door is open, is there a way to prevent the corpse from turning into a ghost species?"
Hands and legs were broken, and this man was frightened by Su Lun's cruel methods.
Having revealed his biggest support, he knew that he had no negotiating capital at all, and trembled: "I don't know if I didn't."
Suellen asked for the last time: "Tell me the news you think will keep you alive."
"I am the exclusive hunting group of the Clark family"
Before the man could finish speaking, a bullet blew out his head.
Hence, he started to show that his status is oppressive, that is, there is nothing worth hearing.
Su Lun has no interest in wasting time on this kind of person anymore.
He walked over, took off the sack from the head of the corpse on the bed, and put it away.
There are still more than four hours until midnight, leaving him little time.
The body could not be moved or damaged, so Su Lun didn’t care and walked out
To confirm what he was thinking, Su Lun went directly to another "Room 1055" that the intelligence said was strictly prohibited.
This room also has a "Do Not Disturb" sign hanging on the door.
Su Lun’s lock-picking skills were much better than the guy before, and he opened the door in less than twenty seconds.
Then he walked in and saw the body of a hanged man hanging from the ceiling with his feet dangling in the air, and he felt a sense of astonishment.
【hanged corpse】
Detailed explanation: A sacrificial material required for a certain evil ritual, a wind-attributed corpse; if it is damaged or the corpse is moved out of the room, it will be discovered by the spell caster immediately;
The rope hanging the corpse is also an alchemy item with cursed properties.
The effects are similar, both to avoid damage from specific evil spirits and to restrain them.
Then Su Lun went to "Room 1071" again, found a [corpse of a woman who drowned herself] in the bathtub, and picked up a strand of [wet hair].
Have collected corpses with three attributes: water, wind, and fire.
The previous hunting team discovered problems with these three rooms, which also saved Su Lun a lot of trouble.
In the end, there were ten rooms between 1090 and 1099 that remained unexplored.
Thinking that he wouldn’t lose much time, Su Lun decided to take a look before midnight.
There were three doors with "Do Not Disturb" signs on them. Su Lun listened to the noise at the door. If there was any movement, it meant there was a living person inside, so there was no need to open it.
If there is no one around, just unlock it and take a look.
Then he found an earth-attributed [Big-Headed Resentful Baby] corpse on the bed in "Room 1099" and found an alchemy object [Swaddle of the Resentful Baby].
Looking at the special corpse material of four almost identical introductions.
Su Lun has a general understanding of the "hidden plot" on the first floor.
A guy set up an evil ritual and left four corpses in four rooms, maybe more?
But there are many rooms in the hotel, ninety-nine on the first floor alone. If you search for them one by one, you will definitely not have enough time.
He felt that he should go to the front desk to see who checked in these rooms, and maybe he could find more clues.
As for the "magician" he is looking for, there is no rush yet.
The information said that the magician will not show up until an hour later and will perform a performance in the hotel banquet hall. It will not be too late to go then
Hunter before, he took his life to test and found out that the first three rooms were "forbidden rooms".
Now that Suellen has opened four rooms, it means that four ghost species will appear by then.
But he didn't feel much of a sense of crisis.
Anyway, a "forbidden room" has been opened, and this wave of hunters is destined to be destroyed.
Su Lun feels that there may be a turning point if the investigation is clear.
and
"Ghost species" are indeed powerful, but they are not really unsolvable.
It's just that their means are usually mental attacks, and they are usually immune to physical damage, so they are unsolvable for the vast majority of hunters who use physical attacks with swords and guns.
But it’s actually not that exaggerated.
The so-called "ghost species" are also inseparable from the category of energy.
Using magic or certain legal methods can also hurt you.
For example, [Wu Attendant]’s Cold Flame.
As for the spiritual attacks of ghost species, they are also divided into levels.
Ordinary first-level ghost species, as long as healthy humans are not frightened to the point where their sanity drops to a very low level, they cannot control it even if they want to.
Want to scare Su Lun?
It seems unrealistic.
Want to take control by force?
Probably requires a high-level ghost species.
Judging from the information currently detected in this space, that kind of existence will not appear on the first floor of the hotel.
Things are not too bad.
What's more, the card boss has also come in, and someone will tell the truth if something goes wrong
,
Without the room card key, Su Lun was not qualified to go to the second floor where guards were guarding the stairs.
He thought about it and came to the hotel's registration desk.
Similar to the "Bell Tower Space" last time, there are many ancient people in the hotel who restored the space.
There are thousands of "living people" including guests, waiters, doormen, and guards.
These NPCs do not have high intelligence. They are like pre-programmed robots that only do certain fixed behaviors and respond to certain fixed dialogues.
They will not think that these hunters who suddenly appeared are outsiders.
As long as you don't interfere with their normal behavior, they will choose to "ignore".
This time a total of more than sixty hunters came in.
Obviously someone also thought of extracting some useful information from these hotel staff, such as which room contained a wealthy businessman or jeweler.
Just go for theft and you will gain a lot of money.
But obviously, not everyone can check the registration records.
When Su Lun arrived, several hunters had just walked away from the front desk and left cursing.
“Don’t waste your time, those stupid front desk ladies won’t say a word.”
“Yeah, ask a few more times, they still have to call the guards. It would be really bad if they were arrested”
“But having said that, these girls at the front desk are really pretty. If I couldn’t do it forcefully, I would really like to try the taste of these ancient people”
“”
Waiting for a few people to leave, Su Lun walked over.
He did not hesitate and asked straight to the point: "Beautiful lady, can you do me a favor?"
Sure enough, even NPCs will react if someone compliments them on their beauty.
The blonde changed her previous indifference towards the previous hunters, with a smile on her pretty face, "Sir, please tell me."
Su Lun knew that conventional methods were useless, so he took out a badge and said mysteriously: "I am Officer Johnny, and this is my police badge. I came secretly to investigate an important fugitive, so I want to see Look at housing records."
