Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 429: Director

"Interesting puppetry"

Although Su Lun roughly guessed the origin of the puppet in front of him, he did not understand how to control it.

I didn’t feel the pull of the threads, and there was no energy fluctuation. I thought this [Horror Wax Figure] was probably a dark magic such as soul control.

"The intelligence doesn't look very high, so it should be directly controlling the soul"

Su Lun can sense soul fluctuations. Generally speaking, monsters such as evil spirits and shadow guards have incomplete spiritual bodies and are not very intelligent. It's probably like dog training. Long-term training of evil spirits can give them some abilities in life.

Before he could think about it, the man in trench coat not far away suddenly took action.

Su Lun has no sense of crisis. As long as he is not a seventh-level professional, there are not many people who can threaten him now.

Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he saw raindrops dozens of meters around his body suddenly stagnating in mid-air. The surface of the crystal water droplets trembled with high-frequency ripples, and then turned into the shape of willow leaf blades.

"What a strong ability to control the water element, this technique is also quite interesting"

Su Lun narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed in his heart.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

""

In the blink of an eye, those hovering raindrops shot towards Su Lun like bullets.

With all-round coverage and no blind spots, there is no way to avoid it in the alley, and there is a sound of crackling rain hitting banana trees.

The raindrops cut through his clothes, and some of the special raindrops even penetrated the protective elemental barrier and hit Su Lun's body directly.

After the impact, the raindrops did not completely disperse, but seemed like blades sliding across the rocks. Even if there is no damage, the sharpness is still felt.

If this move were to be used against almost any other profession below level 6, it would be seriously injured even if they were not dead.

But Su Lun has [Rune Golden Body] to protect his body, so it’s probably just scraping.

"What a weird wax puppet!"

Su Lun kicked off the ground, facing the rain of arrows from the sky, and rushed forward like a cannonball. He raised his hand and punched the man in the windbreaker on the abdomen.

But this punch that could break rocks and crack gold focused on the target, but there was a feeling on the fist as if it was hit on a water bag. The strength was weakened by the shock buffering power, and 90% disappeared.

"Elemental body!"

In this brief exchange, Su Lun also judged the opponent's combat power, which was probably at the level of a fifth-level professional. But with the four basic element talents of [A-004-Rain Prayer], it is almost difficult for anyone at the same level to defeat it.

Su Lun could clearly see the face of the man in windbreaker from a distance that was almost face-to-face.

This is a terrifying face with several centipede-shaped stitches, zigzag fangs, and the skin on the neck shows a strange dark blue color. The face was covered with heavy makeup and foundation, but it couldn't hide the black blood vessels and corpse spots, and instead added a bit of eerieness. It also wears the plain white headdress of a bride's dress on its head, and has black lips and eye shadow. As identified, this is a [Ghost Bride].

And from a close distance, Su Lun could clearly see that this guy had a thin layer of corpse wax on his body.

His punch obviously did not cause any harm to the bride, and he used his strength to turn around and kick his leg, hitting it **** the head.

With this heavy kick, there was a "crash", the water ball was kicked open, and the stinky black water splashed out all over the sky.

The black water was obviously extremely corrosive, and it made a sizzling corrosive sound when it splashed on the ground. After the blue smoke of birds and birds passed away, small holes appeared on the ground.

However, even after the head was kicked, the aura of the [Ghost Bride] did not weaken at all, and in the blink of an eye, a new head was condensed with elements. It stared at Su Lun in front of it with its dark eyes.

"It's so powerful! I didn't expect the puppet to be able to do this."

The more he probed, the more curious Su Lun became.

Not only is he proficient in puppetry, he can also make living corpses.

And the ability shown by the [Ghost Bride] in front of me is much stronger than that of living corpses, and is even almost the same as a real person.

That super elemental affinity is definitely not something that simple corpse control techniques can achieve!

If you can seize the research

Su Lun suddenly had this idea in his mind

Obviously, capturing alive is impossible.

[Ghost Bride] is obviously not very intelligent. It probably thinks it can kill Su Lun. As soon as his head regrouped, he grabbed it with one hand, revealing the hand with long black nails.

In an instant, the technique was completed again.

The water element in the air formed a spherical water prison around Su Lun's body. No matter where he escaped, the water prison seemed to stick to him, lingering.

The surrounding water condensed more and more intensely, and Su Lun felt as if his body had fallen into a puddle of quickly drying glue, making it increasingly difficult to move.

And this technique not only restricted his movements, but also quickly drained the water from his body.

In a few moments, he himself was afraid that he would turn into a mummy and die suddenly on the spot.

"Directive [Water Element Peeling]? What a strong comprehension of the spell. This has at least a incomplete understanding of the sixth-level laws. It should be the ability that the corpse had before death. In other words, the corpse was at least a sixth-level before death. Level professional, even seventh level?"

Su Lun analyzed in his heart and finally felt a hint of death crisis, "The soul fluctuation is not very stable, so the resentful spirit in its body should not be original"

I have to admit that this [Ghost Bride] is really strong. Its elemental ability makes it almost immune to any physical attack. Its ability to control basic elements is difficult to encounter with restraint. The original elemental understanding of the corpse has reached a new level. Level six.

It can be said that professionals below level six have almost no chance of winning against it!

After several battles, Su Lun has tested some of the information he wanted. Thinking that the manipulator behind the scenes might have noticed it, he didn't delay any longer, and a layer of invisible energy suddenly enveloped his fist.

To teleport at this distance, he didn’t even need to pinch the Warlock Seal. He teleported and appeared behind the [Ghost Bride]. Without breaking away from the water, a powerful punch hit the monster's chest and cracked it open.

"Peng!"

One punch penetrates!

For the elemental body, Haki can't be used more easily.

Su Lun's punch did not defeat the stable form of the water element, but directly annihilated some elements from the microscopic level.

These days, he has mastered some methods of using Haki. With this punch, Su Lun controlled the Haki to explode in a spiral, directly exploding the upper body of [Ghost Bride] into pieces.

Under normal circumstances, this output is enough to kill this wax puppet.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a strange scene happened in front of him.

The damage was serious, and the target's aura also dissipated for a time, but Su Lun did not see the "gray mist" come out.

"Not killed?"

He looked at the black water all over the ground, wondering.

Suddenly,

In the sewer mouth a few meters away, he once again felt the familiar soul fluctuations!

"Escaped?"

The corners of Su Lun's eyes twitched slightly, not understanding anything.

I ran away so decisively that even if I wanted to chase him, I couldn't.

The [Ghost Bride] obviously realized that Su Lun had the ability to kill it, and it became unsteady. After concentrating again, it directly chose to escape. Its elemental ability ignored the terrain restrictions and turned into black water and flowed into the ground along the drainage pipe.

"Hehe"

Su Lun laughed dryly to himself.

I thought I was sure of it, but unexpectedly it slipped.

But there are more doubts.

"It shouldn't be! How could it not be killed?"

Su Lun was wondering in his mind that the punch just now was done with domineering force, and he should not let the [Ghost Bride] live under any circumstances.

He quickly reviewed what had just happened in his mind, and thought to himself: "No, it didn't resurrect itself! It seemed like there was another mysterious external force that condensed it just now?"

When he thought of some key points, his brain started to work rapidly.

Almost instantly, he thought that he had seen this situation before.

When he was exploring the cursed space of Dawn Ruins [1911 Hotel], he encountered four strange and unkillable bodies.

The evil black magic that creates weirdness is called the [Four Weird Spirits Fallen Sacrifice Array]. It is a corpse that combines the four characteristics of earth, wind, water, and fire. It finally achieves a repeated cycle of energy, complementing each other, and immortality. destroy.

When one corpse is killed, it will be resurrected by three others. It is almost a closed loop with no solution.

No wonder it is used for delivering goods. This kind of puppet cannot be caught and cannot die. It is indeed perfect.

"Could it be said that the manipulator behind the scenes has already collected the four-element wax figures?"

Su Lun frowned and felt that the level of difficulty had risen several steps in an instant, "Immortal, this puppet is really powerful."

Fortunately, he only encountered one today. If there were four of them as he thought, he would probably have no choice but to run away.

But thinking about it from another perspective, the master who can control this kind of wax statue is definitely not an unknown person in Lingdun.

It is another professional related to puppetry, and the target of suspicion has been narrowed again

Originally, I wanted to track the source of the medicine, but now that the delivery person has run away, there is no point in Su Lun delaying any longer.

And if the person behind the scenes discovers that he is being followed, he may also send a warning to the Vaughn Brotherhood.

Even gangsters cannot scatter goods of unknown origin. At least the president, "Old Smoker" Forgeres, must know some information about the supplier of this batch of goods.

Su Lun doesn’t want the last clue to slip away.

He sensed Reina's position, and quickly transformed the Warlock Seal with his hands. After condensing the dark energy required for directional displacement, the space fluctuated in a flash.

Looking again, he was already staring at the dilapidated small building.

Leina was riding a sniper rifle on the rooftop, staring at the warehouse with a scope, when she suddenly saw Su Lun appear beside her, her crystal eyes lit up: "Mr. Su Lun, are you back?"

As she spoke, she pointed to a few gang members at the warehouse door not far away, and said quickly: "They seemed to have received some information just now, and someone rushed in."

After listening to Reina's report, Su Lun also guessed that his interception was exposed. He nodded decisively and said: "Be careful, I'll go there."

Thinking about it, he added, "If anyone runs out, kill him and try not to leave anyone alive."

Leina nodded seriously, "Yes."

Su Lun didn't hesitate, teleporting again, and he appeared directly at the door of the warehouse.

Those strong men in suits and tattoos looked at the sudden appearance of another person. Before the shocked expressions on their faces turned into alert, a blood line appeared on their necks.

"Crash" the human body fountain appeared, and the few blood-stained crystal silk threads appeared.

During the whole process, Su Lun didn't even look at these guys and just broke into the warehouse.

The mastermind behind the scenes is probably on his way back, and now there is no time to slowly chat with these guys about the secrets. Killing and stripping away soul fragments is the most efficient.

He teleported again and appeared in the warehouse.

There was one more person in the warehouse. More than twenty well-armed strong men looked over with fierce eyes, and dozens of guns were pointed at them.

The bearded man in the lead holding a three-barrel magic musket is none other than "Old Smoker" Forges.

Su Lun's eyes were full of indifference, and he didn't explain a word at all. He pinched the warlock's seal, and a fierce light burst out in his eyes: "Hormones are running rampant, four solutions!"

With one more grab, the gargoyle and several puppets appeared out of thin air in the warehouse.

Immediately, a fierce battle broke out.

Winter, winter, winter, winter

The sound of gunfire was as deafening as thunder in the sealed warehouse.

Su Lun stared at the "old smoker" Forges and gave him a good beating.

After all, he is a fourth-level professional, so this guy still needs some effort.

Some of the other minions took action, and some just jumped away when they saw that the enemy was too strong and the situation was not going well. But just as those guys who wanted to escape were about to climb out of the window, a few sniper bullets hit the guy's head with precision and exploded into a mess of rotten watermelons.

The battle broke out fiercely and ended very quickly.

In less than two minutes, Su Lun killed everyone in the warehouse.

After peeling away Fulgres' soul, the information about the supplier was indeed found.

Su Lun didn't waste any time, packed up the loot and walked directly out of the warehouse door.

As soon as I came out, I happened to see Reina on the rooftop, driving a sniper shot at a child. The gang members who heard the noise and wanted to come for reinforcements were pinned down before they even got near the corner.

Su Lun made a retreat gesture toward the beautiful figure on the rooftop, and Reina responded with a bright smile.

She put away her sniper rifle, as agile as a cat, and silently jumped into the alley.

Su Lun withdrew his eyes and threw an incendiary bomb behind him to destroy the corpse.

There was a "boom" and the entire warehouse burst into flames.

The forensic doctors in this alchemical world are very powerful and can make corpses "speak". They can judge the murderer's character and methods from the marks on the corpse. They are so powerful that they can even directly describe a person's facial features. If one tool doesn't work, then many tools can always be pieced together.

Su Lun had seen what happened just now, but he didn’t dare to be careless.

There is no one alive in the warehouse right now, which is just right.

After handling the scene, he sealed the Void Warlock seal.

Looking again, Reina appeared next to Reina in the alley a few hundred meters away.

The two looked at each other and smiled relaxedly, changed back to their previous clothes, and walked onto the street without any differences

The sound of fighting suddenly came from the warehouse, and the whole neighborhood was alarmed.

No one knew what was going on, probably thinking it was a gang fight. Members of various gangs appeared on the street with their **** in hand, fiercely on guard, not knowing who the enemy was.

The crowds in the nightclub also flooded into the streets after hearing the news, like ants emerging from their nests, filling the streets.

Su Lun hugged Reina's slender waist and took the opportunity to blend in with the melon-eating crowd without being noticed.

I don’t know who fired the gun in the crowd, but suddenly the street started to crackle with fighting.

Everyone dispersed and did not dare to watch the excitement. In an instant, the motorcycles in the streets started roaring.

Suellen and Lena went to the Rolling Stone Bar garage to pick up their motorcycles, and followed the traffic and drove off Fox Avenue.

Different from when she arrived, Reina in the back seat hugged Su Lun intimately, with a happy smile on her pretty face.

The wind was blowing in my ears, and as soon as I drove out of the block, Su Lun suggested: "Want to have some late-night snacks?"

After playing around all night, Reina was also a little hungry, so she happily responded: "Okay."

Normal restaurants are closed at this time. Several high-end restaurants owned by Rich Reina can be opened specially, but Su Lun has no intention of bothering the chefs to work overtime in the middle of the night.

Not long after, the steam motorcycle stopped in the Mann neighborhood.

This is a civilian neighborhood with a large number of manufacturing factories nearby, and many workers come out looking for food at night. Over time, a lively night market developed here.

Su Lun parked his motorcycle on the street and found a small stall called "Beef Pie and Mashed Potatoes", which sold the food on the sign.

This is a store that reminds me of the gangster stripping shop just now. It tastes very good.

The workers had not yet rested at this time, and business was deserted, so the two of them found a seat and sat there.

The food is delicious, reasonably priced, and the portions are good.

Su Lun thought it was pretty good. Anyway, in his eyes, the difference was between protein and carbohydrates.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s sophisticated or not, the environment is not bad either.

In the dark alley, rats were squeaking for food, and white smoke was emitting from the broken steam pipes in the wall. The people walking around were all low-class people in simple clothes

Leina, a wealthy lady, doesn't mind the environment at all. She can sit and taste wine elegantly in high-end restaurants, and she can also eat with gusto at roadside stalls.

While eating, they talked about the previous battle.

Su Lun peeled off the memory of the "old smoker" Forges, and sure enough he knew the origin of the supplier of this batch of goods.

That was a guy in the underworld whose nickname was "The Curator."

This guy has a good reputation in the Linton gang circle, and it is said that he is also a powerful figure in reality. But in reality, he is very mysterious, and no one has seen his true appearance. He was familiar with the Vaughn brothers because he had some dealings with illegal human trafficking. That guy also often buys some black magic materials or ancient classics through gangsters.

Su Lun has fought against the [Horror Wax Figure·Ghost Bride] before, and the conditions are consistent. It is almost certain that the "curator" himself is behind the scenes.

However, compared to this news, Su Lun felt that something else was worse.

From the information he had previously extracted from the members of the Vaughan Brotherhood, in addition to knowing that the person supplying the goods behind the scenes might be the "curator", he also obtained information that made him think there was a big problem.

That is, a disease called [Red Death] is prevalent among the lower levels of Linton.

Diseases and plagues are nothing new to humans. From the mythical period to the present, there have always been infectious diseases that cannot be dealt with.

There were countless deaths like the plague, the Black Death, and smallpox.

But this time is different.

Su Lun noticed it because the disease was spread through bodily fluids.

This is very similar to the accident on the "Queen Roderica" ​​cruise ship!

And the strange thing is that this disease cannot be cured by other methods, but the [refreshing potion] made from the blood crystals can suppress the symptoms or even completely eliminate the symptoms.

A conspiracy immediately emerged in Su Lun's mind.

We know that there is something wrong with this medicine, but now there is a disease that can only be solved with this medicine. It is impossible to say that it is not related.

Su Lun previously thought that the potion was spread through addicts and would only affect a small area.

But if, as he thinks, the spread of disease is also related, this matter will be very difficult.

Very tricky!

If there is no problem with the medicine, it may end up being used to treat diseases by those who do not know the truth.

The transmission chain is terrifying
