Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 240: My name is Katyusha


Jike seems to be following someone.

Walking and stopping, using obstacles to avoid from time to time, the tracking skills are really not very good.

He pulled the collar of his windbreaker high and wore a unique style of windshield, which covered most of his face. Su Lun recognized it as the windproof suit on the inflatable lifeboat that she had given him before, and then confirmed his identity.

Su Lun looked at his limping posture and realized that this guy had a broken leg. There are traces of footprints on the ground. One step is a footprint and the other is a round hole. After taking a closer look, I noticed that his left leg was a prosthetic leg replaced with a first-order wooden stick.

Seeing this, Su Lun was a little confused...

How could a young master from a wealthy businessman suddenly break a leg?

Anyway, it was along the way, so Su Lun followed for a few steps and glanced at the people walking in front of him. After a little identification, he immediately recognized who he was following.

It was a young woman wearing a luxurious fox fur cloak. Even when the wind and snow were blowing, this woman still cared about her appearance. She was wearing heavy makeup and wasn't wrapped up so tightly, revealing her blood-lined neck and deep career line. Su Lun recognized that this seemed to be Jike's stepmother Marianne?

This woman was holding a man affectionately beside her, but it was not Benson, but a man carrying a big sword on his back.

Su Lun remembered that this seemed to be Raman, the captain of the Benson family’s guard.

Seeing the ambiguous look between the two, Su Lun roughly guessed something.

It's basically a drama about a beloved wife colluding with her lover to seize the rich man's property.

Such unscrupulousness means that there is a high probability that Benson is not alive.

Su Lun had a good impression of the kind middle-aged businessman. After all, Benson "saved" him and Mr. Mirror that time at sea.

However, it was just a glance.

No matter how outrageous other people's family affairs are, he has no intention of knowing more about them.

What surprised him even more was that Jike was following a third-level professional and was not discovered?

Looking at the goggles on Jike's face again, Su Lun appraised it and became a little interested: "It actually weakens the target's perception through multiple mirror refractions. It's a good idea."

He had previously discovered that Jike had a very good talent in mechanics. Looking at it again, these were obviously hand-made alchemy goggles, obviously made by the kid himself.

The area of ​​Blizzard City is not large. Not long after leaving, Su Lun saw the man and woman entering a four-story luxury hotel.

But Jike stopped at the door, pretending to be a passerby.

Su Lun was not in a hurry to leave, and wanted to see what he wanted to do.

At this time, he found Jike walking under a window, then seemed to measure the position, and then stopped at a telephone pole. He looked around furtively, and using his clothes to hide it, he took out a time bomb connected to a mechanical alarm clock from his arms?

Jike quickly buried the bomb in the snowdrift, and then hid behind the mailbox at the door of the post office not far away.

Su Lun became interested, stopped, and leaned against the wall not far away: "Liquid alchemy bomb? Delayed detonation, and a device for directional blasting?"

The homemade bomb is very rough, without any outer covering, and almost all the devices are exposed.

But just such a bomb made Su Lun's eyes light up. He himself was proficient in all kinds of machinery. With just a glance, he could see the various structural principles of the bomb almost at a glance.

It's not very sophisticated, but the design idea is very unique.

"What is actually used is not conventional powder explosives, but a more unstable liquid state. The special nitro compound, a formula that has never been seen on the market, was he prepared it himself? This is so powerful, it's true Level 3 professionals are a fatal threat. But just relying on bombs to kill Naraman is not enough."

Seeing this, Su Lun also understood that Jike was planning to blow up the couple.

Looking at the buried location of the bomb, he also had some doubts in his mind: "Precisely directional blasting? Did he predict that someone would definitely jump from the window? Haha, that's interesting."

As soon as Lu Wei thought about it, Su Lun immediately understood that Jike might also have arrangements in the hotel room

Due to the ability of soul perception, Su Lun sensed that Marianne and the guard captain Raman walked to the third floor of the hotel, then entered a room, and couldn't wait to take off their clothes and get intimate.

But the two of them were in high spirits, and just when they were lying on the bed about to take a step further, suddenly, there was a "boom", triggering a violent explosion.

There was a crashing sound of glass shattering, and air waves and flames rushed out from the second room on the left side of the third floor, reaching more than ten meters away.

Two embarrassed figures fell down the building.

After all, Captain Raman is a third-level melee professional, and his reactions are extremely fast. He was aware of the danger the moment the explosion mechanism was triggered, and protected the woman and knocked out of the window through the shock wave of the explosion.

Seeing this scene, Su Lun let out a sigh in his heart, "Oh, so that's it."

The explosion in the room did not cause more damage, which means that Jike strictly calculated the amount of explosives and did not want to hurt innocent people.

If you are more aggressive, you can use a large amount of explosives to blow up the entire floor directly, which will have a higher success rate.

Furthermore, one of the clever things about Jike's arrangement is that the explosion in the room was obviously not to kill the target once, but to prepare for a second explosion!

Even a third-level professional who was blinded by the first explosion would probably not have expected to fly out of the window and be hit by a second explosion.

Su Lun saw the two figures landing next to the telephone pole on the street, exactly where the explosives were buried, and couldn't help but admire in his heart: "What a careful thought, what a precise blasting!"

From these points, although this Jike is not very old, he is of the highest quality both in terms of character and wisdom.

But doesn’t this guy want to be a designer?

How come you are so talented at bomb-making?

Thoughts flashed through Su Lun's mind.

At the moment of landing, before the half-dressed woman and man could react, there was another "boom" and they were overturned by the air wave of the bomb again.

This time, the two people were accurately pushed to the wall by the terrifying air wave of the explosion. After a heavy hit, there was a muffled "thud" sound, and the flesh and blood of the remaining limbs spattered.

They were so elegant before, but now they are so embarrassed.

The woman's right thigh was completely blown off, exposing the white bones and rotten flesh, and she immediately passed out.

Unfortunately, the man was still wearing close-fitting leather armor. Although a mouthful of blood spurted out, it was not fatal.

Su Lun looked at it without any surprise.

The limit of what can be achieved with bombs alone

After being bombed twice in succession, Raman could not recover that he had been plotted against. The moment he hit the wall, his wolf-like eyes immediately locked onto the man in the cloak next to the mailbox, whose reaction was completely different from that of passers-by!

With a "swish" sound, Raman kicked his feet on the ground and rushed in front of the cloaked man.

Because he was not wearing any equipment, he grabbed Jike's neck, lifted him up, and shouted angrily: "Damn it, who are you!"

Probably wanting to see who it was, he violently slapped the goggles off Jike's face, revealing a slightly childish face full of a determined sneer.

"Dog Man and Woman"

Jike's face was filled with a crazy grin, and he grabbed Raman's wrist during the struggle. At this moment, with a "click", the mechanical lock in the palm of his hand was clicked.

The two of them seemed to be chained by handcuffs, unable to break free at least for a moment.

Raman saw the explosives wrapped under Jike's cloak. His eyes instantly swelled to the size of copper bells, and an expression of extreme horror finally appeared on his face.

Jike is planning to die with the murderer of his father!

Killing a third-level professional by himself was the most perfect plan he could think of.

But

Something unexpected happened.

Jike discovered in despair that the bomb did not explode!

How did he know that just now, a silk thread quietly appeared and dismantled the key device for triggering the bomb.

At this time, the patrol team also shouted loudly on the street, and more than a dozen guns were pointed at the heads of the two people: "Don't move!"

Su Lun watched the two people being taken away and followed them.

It’s not worth it for a bomb genius to die like this

The hotel is on the main road of Blizzard City. The patrol team responded quickly and arrived at the scene at the moment of the explosion, preventing the situation from getting worse.

Because he only blew up a hotel room and a street lamp, Jike's crime was not too serious.

The Benson family's fur business is also well-known in the city. After hearing his explanation, the city guard did not execute him immediately.

However, Blizzard City has Blizzard City rules.

Whether it is reasonable or not, if you take action, you will be punished.

Jike was stripped naked and hung on a cold wooden cross in the city square, and underwent a day and night of "wind torture."

As for Raman, although he was immoral, he did not violate the laws of the city and was not punished.

Su Lun didn't think he had the ability to rob the law field, let alone didn't need it.

As long as it is not a serious crime, there is still a backdoor to the punishment of "wind torture".

According to the rules, Su Lun paid the bail to the security team and told him not to let anyone die, and that he would just wait to pick him up tomorrow.

I was favored by others in the sea before, but today I feel like I'm doing well.

Besides, he also thinks it would be nice to let this Jike blow in the cold air.

Some things need to be experienced before you can understand them.

It's like Su Lun himself died once

Su Lun left the city guard office and went to the black market in the city.

The black market in Stormwind City is different from other places. It is not secretive, but almost everyone knows about it. It was a trading market specially built for pirates and some shady businesses. Serious businessmen have other places to go, and the black market is a common hangout for pirates, criminals, and smugglers.

Not on the ground, but underground.

Su Lun found the "Blackbeard Tavern", and when he happened to arrive, he also sensed three familiar souls.

They are the three guys who escaped from the Red Shark Pirates before.

At this moment, they were arguing with the tavern owner about something with red faces.

"Oh! Damn it, you 'Red Shark Group' took the ransom and swore to me that the meat ticket would be alive. Now where are the people, where are the people?!. Now how do you want me to explain to the people at the Tulip Chamber of Commerce? ”

"Damn it, all the brothers in the group have been killed by others, what else do you want from us? At worst, return the money to those guys!"

"This is not about money, it's about credibility! You know, it's about credibility!"

""

Pirates also have pirate rules. Without credibility, the underworld cannot survive.

Su Lun heard a few words, and probably the three people wanted to find helpers to find the murderer who destroyed their pirate group.

He didn't pay much attention to it. If he encountered him in the future, he would just kill him.

He walked out of the back door of the tavern, passed the gate guarded by several strong men in leather clothes, and went underground.

Su Lun went down the iron staircase for more than ten meters and immediately heard the noisy noise.

This is a street paved with dark red floor tiles, lined with various crowded buildings. The street is illuminated by neon lights of various colors, making it a prosperous and lively scene.

The wind is biting on the ground, but the underground streets are very warm. The densely intertwined steam pipes overhead brought enough heat to this underground space.

The streets are crowded with people, most of whom are dressed in leather jackets and boots as adventurers, with weapons exposed and ugly faces. There were also many people dressed in cloaks and masks, but Suellen was inconspicuous among the crowd.

The black market sells a variety of things, including stores and street stalls.

Various alchemy material shops, controlled ordnance, smuggled alcohol, psychedelics

As long as there is huge profit, you can almost find it here.

Of course, the price of most goods is much cheaper than in the precious market.

Suellen found the "Black Elf's Grocery Store" where Bonn often came to sell goods.

The store is densely packed with various products, and the space is very cramped.

The boss is a fat black woman.

When Su Lun came, there were still a few people in the store selecting goods.

The fat shopkeeper greeted Su Lun: "Guest, do you have any needs?"

Su Lun: "Let's have some 'ocean wind'."

When the fat shop owner heard this, he also knew that he was a regular customer on the road, so he invited him to the stall in the shop.

There is a soundproofing ban there.

Entering the cubicle, Su Lun asked straight to the point: "I want the batch of goods that Poison Frog Bonn sold to you before. The price is easy to negotiate." ”

The fat shop owner looked at Su Lun, and without asking any questions, he took out two storage rings and said, "Except for the ones that were sold, everything is here."

Su Lun looked at it and saw that most of them were jewelry stolen by pirates. There was nothing of his own. Then he asked directly: "I'm looking for two rings. They look like this."

As he spoke, he used a pen to draw the general features of the two rings on the parchment paper beside him.

The fat shop owner obviously remembered, and his eyes suddenly revealed: "Oh, I have an impression of these two rings. They are both very high-end alchemy items. However, they have been sold."

Su Lun frowned when he heard this, and then asked: "Can I know who it was sold to?"

The fat shop owner didn’t say anything directly. He glanced at him and simply said: "You should know, this is against the rules."

The rule is not that you can’t speak out, but that you can’t speak out if you don’t have enough money.

Su Lun was also knowledgeable and took out a stack of banknotes.

"This"

The fat shopkeeper pressed the thickness of the banknote with his finger, and then said with a reluctant expression: "A little girl bought it this morning. I don't know him either, he looks like a stranger."

Su Lun added more money and asked, "Is there any more accurate news?"

For the sake of money, the fat shop owner gave detailed information: "He has freckles on his face, he has big braids, he is young. He looks quite well-educated, he should come from a big city. She bought some adventure supplies and equipment and seems to be going on an adventure in the forest. If you go to the Adventurer's Guild, you might be able to meet her. Of course, if you are willing to spend money, you can ask the guys from the 'Smuggling Gang'. They should be able to Get more news."

Su Lun said that after hearing this, he knew that he would not be able to ask for more information, so he took out a stack of money and said, "This is to buy my own information."

The fat shopkeeper also agreed and said with a bright smile: "Of course, no one will hear from me that you have been here."

Su Lun turned around and left.

He did not expect that the other party would not betray him.

But the black market has black market rules, at least not under certain special circumstances. These people will still do things after taking money

Su Lun did not expect that things were not going well, he only hoped that the person who bought his ring had not left Blizzard City yet.

Anywhere, spend money where you can, and you will save a lot of effort.

If you find a local coward, your work efficiency will be very high.

Su Lun didn't go looking for it on his own, so he found someone from the "smuggling gang" on the black market. I gave him an objective bounty and asked him to find the missing person. I also asked him about the main materials he needed for his third-level breeding equipment.

Then while waiting for news, I wandered around the black market.

The North Icefield has many special products, such as [cold iron ore], magic core, high-grade wood, and some special Warcraft materials.

Su Lun is now advanced and needs some high-end materials to make puppets. He has found a lot of good things in the black market.

Moreover, what surprised Su Lun was that he actually saw a lot of things from Old Lington here!

For example, there were mechanical equipment that obviously did not conform to Lu Ying's technological style, and I even saw a few sets of [Frost Giant Armor] from the inner city guard of Old Lingdun. There are also some parts that are obviously disassembled from large mechanical equipment, such as laser engraving machines, which look like things that the pirates disassembled from the inner city laboratory

After asking about it, I found that these things really came from pirate channels, and there are a lot of them on the black market now.

Many mechanical equipment are different from ground machinery systems, and not many people are really interested in buying them.

Su Lun seemed to have missed something and spent hundreds of millions on a bunch of equipment.

With these things, his progress in researching mechanical puppets will be much faster.

However, he also discovered that mechanical research is really a huge money-burning avenue. I went to the black market and bought some small machinery, which almost wiped out my family fortune.

Fortunately, good news has also come.

The efficiency of local snakes is indeed very high.

Not long after Su Lun posted the reward, he received an accurate reply.

The person he is looking for is at the "Star Hotel" in Beicheng.

Su Lun did not dare to delay, and went directly to Beicheng and met the girl who bought the ring.

When she asked, Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief when she found out that the thing was actually in her hand.

However, the girl seemed to be in a bit of trouble

"My name is Katyusha, and I am a trainee 'astrologer'. What do you call me, sir?"

"You can call me Nicholas. Sorry, Miss Katyusha, those two rings are souvenirs left to me by my elders. There was an accident before and they ended up on the black market. If possible, I want to buy them. I'm back. What do you think is appropriate before I can part with my love?"

"But the teacher said that the ring is very helpful for studying, and I need it very much. If I lose it, I'm afraid I won't be able to find such a good alchemy item in the future."

""

Su Lun knew that if it were him, he wouldn't believe it if a random person said that the baby was his.

He made an appointment in the hotel cafe.

Facing the young girl with freckles on her face and big flaxen braids in front of her, Su Lun behaved politely and gentlemanly.

After all, the other party paid for it with money and behaved politely, so Su Lun couldn't kill someone and steal something.

What's more, he also discovered a problem.

If it were before, he would have felt that before him he was a little girl from the city who came to take risks.

But now, in the perception of the soul, the soul of this "Katyusha" is very erratic.

It seems that my perception has been disturbed by something.

For example, some special cursed objects.

After discovering this, Su Lun felt that something was wrong.
