Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 159: Also see the “§” symbol
, Mechanical Alchemist
According to the original plot, "pollution" will only occur at midnight, and everyone in the 1911 Hotel will become strange.
The hunters came in to get the materials only to do so after midnight, because those ordinary people were deformed into weird things, so they would produce cursed materials.
But Su Lun couldn't wait until that time.
That magician is really going to be deformed, and Su Lun feels even more uncertain about killing him.
Furthermore, now that the four "forbidden rooms" on the first floor have been opened, he feels that there may be other changes in tonight's pollution incident.
To solve the problem, you must do it as early as possible
Su Lun walked towards the stage, and then walked into the backstage from the side door through the staff passage.
He planned to stop the magician when he stepped down.
Because he heard from the intelligence that no one has seen the magician since he left the stage.
Su Lun thought that he might use his space ability to teleport away, so he had to go to the background to guard him.
After the stage, there is the dressing room, which is slightly narrow.
The dancers of the "Swan Cabaret" are changing their costumes here.
There were staff guarding the door. Su Lun took off his hat, showed his face, and flashed his police badge, and walked in without any further obstruction.
Dancers are probably used to changing costumes temporarily during performances, and they don’t mind not having a separate dressing room. When Su Lun walked in, she was watching young girls with cool and sharp clothes and graceful figures changing their costumes in the narrow dressing room.
Seeing a strange man walk in, the girls were like frightened deer, so scared that they covered their exposed bodies. But after seeing Su Lun's handsome face clearly, the dancers instantly calmed down. Not only did no one scream, they laughed and whispered. Some of them would be bold and generous, and they would smile coquettishly at him.
“Handsome guy, who are you looking for~”
“I’m looking for Mr. Edward.”
“Oh~ What a pity, I thought you were here to invite our leader, Barbara, to dinner”
“”
Walking along the way, Su Lun also responded to these beautiful girls with a very gentlemanly smile.
He wanted to go to the exit of the stage and wait for the magician to prevent him from disappearing from his sight.
After walking over, I saw a small dressing room next to the dressing room separated by a curtain. The lead singer, Miss Barbara, was changing clothes and taking off makeup inside.
The light was very bright, and a charming face was reflected in a large makeup mirror.
Su Lun saw the woman with red lips in the mirror, and the woman also saw him.
“What, is the handsome guy lost?”
The voice is so soft and soft that it makes people feel as if their bones are brittle.
Su Lun looked at the woman as she turned around, and her eyes were unconsciously attracted to her big rosy lips.
It seems that those red lips have endless magic power, making people unable to take their eyes away.
This is an inner hint with a little mental power, which will make people put down their guard.
Su Lun narrowed his eyes slightly and guessed that this woman was most likely a professional with [Succubus] talent.
Fearing that this woman might also use hypnosis, he immediately showed his police badge and said, "I want to wait for Mr. Edward. I have something to ask him."
Barbara looked at the police badge, her eyebrows arched, and her tone became more sticky, "Oh? It's a police officer. Do you have anything to do with Mr. Edward?"
Su Lun did not feel any malice, nor was he careless. He said calmly: "Some official business."
Although Suellen felt that this woman and the magician should know each other, he still wanted to wait to communicate with Edward.
Hearing this, Barbara smiled charmingly, pointed to the chair next to her, and said: "Handsome police officer, come and sit down? Mr. Edward probably won't finish his performance for a while"
Su Lun glanced at her and didn't want to get too close to such a spiritual professional, so she refused the invitation, which looked very sexy, "I'm on official business. I won't sit down."
Because she was changing clothes, Barbara also dressed coolly. As he spoke, his peripheral vision unconsciously glanced at the deep career line on her chest.
Speaking of which, do all women with succubus talents have such a good figure?
Barbara covered her mouth and chuckled, catching that look in her eyes. But instead of minding it, she smiled brightly and showed off her proud figure without hesitation, boldly teasing, "Handsome police officer, what are you looking at?"
“”
Su Lun’s expression did not change as he listened.
He thinks this is probably an occupational disease of succubi.
With these few words, there was a sudden sound on the stairs backstage.
A man in a tuxedo walked down, and he was clearly Edward the Magician.
The ambiguous atmosphere was instantly diluted. Barbara said to Edward: "Mr. Edward, this police officer said he has something to ask you."
When Edward heard "police officer", it seemed that some key words had been triggered, and then he looked at Suellen, who he was originally prepared to ignore.
Suellen directly showed the police badge and said: "I am Patrolman Joey from the Bell Tower Block. I have been ordered to investigate some matters. Please cooperate with Mr. Edward."
Edward seemed to have thought of something, "Clock Tower Block?"
When the other party responded, Su Lun immediately knew that he had guessed correctly: the two alchemists hidden in the crowd were coming for the old nun.
Edward looked at Su Lun for a moment and continued to ask: "Excuse me, police officer, what are you here to investigate. And how do I need to cooperate with you?"
Su Lun did not feel any malice. In other words, the corpses in the four rooms should have nothing to do with the two people in front of him.
Now, he is more sure how to use this plot.
He said directly: "Have you ever heard of [White Monastery]?"
Hearing this, Edward's expression froze, and he frowned and said: "Oh, of course, I remember it was a monastery on Bell Tower Street in the East City. But can Officer Jonny be more detailed? You are looking for me and it has something to do with this monastery. What?"
These people look like living people, but in fact they are still high-level NPCs who only respond to certain plots.
Su Lun needed to trigger the plot, so he said directly: "An old nun took something very dangerous from the monastery, which may contaminate others. Based on the clues, I investigated and found that she came to this hotel. But in During this process, I discovered some other things, so I need Mr. Edward’s cooperation”
After saying this, Edward did not continue to pretend not to know. He smiled: "Officer Jonny, your investigative abilities amaze me."
As he spoke, he took out his ID.
This move surprised Su Lun.
He originally wanted to let Edward assist in the investigation and guide him to see the corpses, and then look for an opportunity to see if he could conflict with the evil sorcerer, and then look for another opportunity
Without any thought, this guy took out a badge directly from his pocket. The logo on it was a golden ouroboros and a "§" symbol.
Taking out a badge means showing one’s identity.
But, is it this symbol again?
The other party thinks he is a patrol officer in Dawn City, so he should recognize this badge.
But he didn’t recognize it.
Su Lun did not show any doubts, but remained silent and waited for the other party to take the initiative to introduce him.
Sure enough, Edward explained politely: "This incident has gone beyond the scope of the police station. Therefore, it is now handled by our Special Operations Department. Just leave the matters here to us."
After a pause, he added: "Praise for your professionalism, Officer Johnny."
So that’s how it is
After hearing these remarks, Su Lun understood immediately.
This Edward and this Barbara are both the official people in Dawn City who deal with the aberration incident!
After saying that, Edward looked like he was about to leave.
But
The reason why this hotel became a cursed space means that they failed to prevent this incident a thousand years ago.
The midnight pollution incident is a recurrence of the tragedy of that year.
If Su Lun leaves here, things will definitely return to their original trajectory.
Although Su Lun has the alchemy items obtained from the four corpses, there is a high probability that he can save his life at midnight.
But he also wants space materials!
So I definitely won’t let Edward leave like this.
Furthermore, from the moment room 1021 was opened, it was destined that the hunting group might be destroyed this time.
Now that we have Liming’s official professionals, maybe we can solve the problem on the first floor in advance?
At this moment, Su Lun's thoughts were racing and he quickly weighed the pros and cons of the certificate matter.
Will the plot change be too serious and cause some butterfly effect?
He doesn’t know what will happen in the end if he changes the plot like this, but
But after thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is the option most likely to achieve the purpose.
Furthermore, recalling the tone of Mr. Hei’s words last night, they know enough about this cursed space.
This means that a certain big boss who is still hidden in the team is capable of handling various emergencies.
Thinking of this, Su Lun did not hesitate and said directly: "Mr. Edward, since you are handling this matter, I am relieved. However, I have a piece of information here, I wonder if you know it."
Listen, Edward looked back at him, "Oh?"
Su Lundao: "I checked the check-in records before and found that there was a guy named 'Tiger Garson' who moved in at the same time as Sister Elizabeth. He opened four rooms and placed four strange corpses . They are [faceless man], [hanged corpse], [self-drowning female corpse], and [big-headed resentful baby], which seem to be performing some kind of evil ritual."
Once they heard this, Edward and Barbara's expressions changed suddenly. It was obvious that they knew what these four corpses meant!
Edward: "[Four Ghosts Fallen Sacrifice Formation]! Damn it, she wants to open that 'sealed object' in this hotel!"
When Su Lun heard this, it turned out that they did not know the existence of the corpse.
Edward's expression suddenly became solemn, and he said to himself: "I hope it's too late to stop it"
Su Lun looked at the word "contaminated" above their heads and felt the need to remind them, so he added: "Have you ever considered that you may have been contaminated?"
Hearing this, the two looked at each other solemnly.
The charm on Barbara's face disappeared, and she suddenly pinched the sorcerer's seal, as if she had cast some kind of spiritual spell.
After a few breaths, she glanced at Edward with an ugly face, and said in a serious tone: "Someone's high-level law has blinded our perception. If nothing else, Officer Jonny is right, we, and even everyone in the hotel are It has been contaminated."
“”
Edward fell silent.
However, there was more determination on his face.
He looked at Su Lun and said: "Officer Johnny, this matter is very important. We may need you to do us a favor."
Su Lun cast a doubtful look, knowing that he might have changed the main plot.
Edward said resolutely: "If we are really contaminated, please kill us first before you find out that we are aberrant!"
As he spoke, he looked at the invisible living corpse not far behind Su Lun.
Sure enough, people with this kind of space ability have discovered the existence of invisible zombies long ago.
Su Lun looked embarrassed when he heard this request, hesitated for a moment, and then agreed: "Okay!"
He never expected that after racking his brains and thinking about how to get the materials, the other party would actually mention it.
In this situation tonight, they are 100% going to be distorted.
With their cooperation, I no longer need to sneak attack, and the difficulty of killing is instantly reduced by a hundred times.
But
This means that I have to follow them at any time?
At this time, Edward said again: "This information is very important, but I need to summon my companions. Those four corpses must be destroyed first."
Suellen followed Edward and the two of them out of the dressing room.
They need to contact his colleagues in the hotel.
In order not to alert the enemy, we made an appointment to start in five minutes and clear out the bodies in the four rooms.
Suellen knew that touching those corpses would immediately alert the spellcaster who had arranged the evil ritual.
The war may break out early.
But it looks pretty good now, at least it’s not distorted in the hotel.
Edward and the others will investigate this matter, so they naturally have a certain level of strength.
Su Lun doesn’t think the ending will be one-sided.
Out of the banquet hall, Su Lun originally planned to find a place to prepare for the battle.
Unexpectedly, I was blocked by someone.
The leader of the "Sand Scorpion Group", Gallup, led more than ten people in his group and was already waiting in the corridor.
