Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 124: [Plague Doctor’s Crow’s Mouth Mask]
Su Lun tried his best to control his thoughts and did not think about the fact that the basement was a cursed space.
Because he was afraid that if he was sucked in too early, he would encounter the blue-skinned living corpse. If you are killed instantly, or have to come out early, there is no point in ambush.
But after coming in, he found that the situation was not bad.
The familiar scene around us is clearly the third floor of the inpatient department of "Havier Hospital".
It was also empty, with no people or monsters.
Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief, and was also glad that his ambush plan had been mostly successful.
.......
After killing someone in this cursed space, it can trap the person's soul here.
Then the plot after that person's death will be rewinded repeatedly.
Now that there are no blue-skinned zombies on the third floor, Su Lun guessed that the possible plot has been postponed again.
As long as you don't trigger the safe in the dean's office on the second floor, the living corpse shouldn't come up to the third floor.
If it weren't for the blue-skinned living corpse, Suellen would still be curious about whether "Blind Detective" Bill was still sitting on the second floor. After all, the last time he was "killed", he only had part of his soul stripped away. Might be able to peel off a few more times.
But I definitely can’t go now.
Then, Su Lun began to implement his "Plan B".
Without any delay, he held the Warlock Seal with both hands, took off his clothes, and cold flames were rising from his body.
This time, he didn't just want to keep "Epidemic Doctor" Sergey in this cursed space.
I have to kill him in front of him and find a way to lift the curse.
Because usually, people who poison themselves will carry the antidote with them.
.......
As expected, not long after, the space not far away twisted, and Sergey suddenly appeared in the corridor.
The guy looked at the changing scene around him, his eyes full of doubts, obviously he still didn't understand what was going on. But when he looked at Su Lun, who saw the ferocious eight-armed spider spear in the distance, he immediately realized that he had been plotted, and he looked wary.
Seeing the person coming, Su Lun raised the corner of his mouth, like a host greeting a guest, and greeted him warmly: "Here you come, Mr. Sergey."
But while speaking, he didn't give the enemy any chance to cast the curse spell. He immediately controlled his emotions and thought of a picture in his mind: a ferocious spider queen happened to appear in the middle of the corridor, facing Sergei at close range!
With this thought, a huge creature suddenly appeared in the corridor. With a bloated spider butt, a ferocious eight-armed spider spear, and a beautiful upper body, this was clearly the "lord-level" Spider Queen Su Lun had encountered in the cave.
.......
That's right, Su Lun's idea is to use the "terror manifest" rules in this space to kill the enemy!
If you just bring people in, you can indeed kill them.
But there's a problem: he can't get the enemy's loot.
Even if the enemy is dead when he comes in next time, he will still encounter the enemy's "soul embodiment". At that time, he will not only have to face the enemy, but also the monsters he imagined, which will be even more difficult.
But now that Su Lun is under the [Crow's Septic Blood Curse], he must get Sergei's storage ring and memory fragments.
So, this guy must die here.
Must die in front of him.
And this ambush plan has the most difficult point.
That is, the monsters embodied in this space attack indiscriminately.
This means that Su Lun must imagine a goal that can kill the enemy, but at the same time he can survive from the monster.
The enemy that allows him to risk bringing people in must be a second-level professional or above.
Monsters can kill level 2 monsters, and they can usually easily kill level 1 monsters such as Su Lun.
But... there is an exception.
That is the super spirited "Spider Queen"!
Back in the cave, Su Lun saw with his own eyes that the monster easily killed a second-level assassin, which meant that the spider queen's mental control was useful to most second-level professionals.
Furthermore, the most important thing is that Su Lun speculates that there is actually a hidden rule in this space, that is, the more realistic the details of monsters that are "terror manifested", the more controllable their abilities are. (In fantasy Geke, the most likely thing that will appear is an ordinary octopus-headed monster. After all, you have no idea what that level of power means)
So it is best to have monsters that you have personally experienced and have a thorough understanding of their abilities.
Coincidentally, he knew almost all the detailed data of the Spider Queen, including the intensity of the mental shock wave.
Especially after integrating the eight-armed spider spear, that monster has almost no secrets in Su Lun's eyes.
Just like when playing a game, it is easy to defeat a new BOSS. If you find the pattern after fighting a few times, the damage will become smaller and smaller.
This Spider Queen is very powerful. Its mental control can make people hit without even looking directly at it; moreover, its skin can withstand alchemy bullets in the face.
But Su Lun knows one thing very well, that is, the Spider Queen's gaze is like a light wave, and it can only attack the target that is visible to the eyes.
This is also why the monster Suellen imagined had its **** facing him and its face facing Sergei.
This narrow corridor is quite spacious for humans, but for the bloated Spider Queen, it is difficult to turn around.
.......
The moment this monster appeared, Sergei also felt the danger of death and instinctively cast a spell to resist.
But the Spider Queen looked at the humans in front of her when she met her. Her eyes were filled with red light, and a powerful spiritual force washed away the entire corridor like a tide.
Even Su Lun behind him felt dazed.
Sergey, who was opposite him, was slapped in the face and lost consciousness in an instant.
The Spider Queen was not polite at all. She raised her hand and stabbed the guy with her spider spear, shocking the guy from the beginning.
Killed a second-level professional in one encounter.
When Su Lun saw it from a distance, he was delighted: "Kill him!"
If Sergei cannot be controlled, he will immediately recite the name of the Lord of Resentment and go out.
Looking now, the plan is going smoothly.
But suddenly Su Lun stared at Sergei's body without the gray fog appearing, and his pupils shrank sharply: "No, he's not dead yet!"
The spider spear penetrated Sergei's skull, and at this time, the corpse turned into a crow corpse as tall as a person.
The back of the corpse was torn open like a golden cicada peeling off its shell, and a pale middle-aged man staggered out from the back of the shell.
"Is this his legendary ability to avoid physical damage?"
Su Lun also understood that this guy seemed to have a crow substitute with similar functions as a "substitute puppet".
Fortunately, he didn't choose to use a sickle before, otherwise he wouldn't have been killed with this knife, and it would probably have been bad.
At this time, Sergei temporarily regained consciousness due to his rebirth.
Unfortunately, we are still close to the monster.
The Spider Queen was not a little surprised. She glared and once again sent a mental shock wave to the human being in front of her.
Then, he took control and stabbed directly in the chest with another spear.
Seeing the "gray mist" floating on the corpse, Su Lun was finally sure that the guy was really dead this time.
Face this kind of spiritual monster face to face, there is no place to escape. Even though this [Plague Doctor] had countless weird and unpredictable spells, he failed to use them and was killed twice in a row.
As soon as Sergey died, the spider queen naturally discovered that there was a human behind her.
The moment the bloated spider's body showed signs of turning around, Su Lun's two puppets suddenly got involved and sprayed a mouthful of black oil and a mouthful of phosphorus fire towards the queen.
The flames instantly ignited the spider body and corridor.
Su Lun did not continue to attack. The eight-armed spider spear quickly flipped and rushed towards the Spider Queen.
Just when the monster turned 180 degrees, Su Lun happened to be behind it. With a pull on the wires in the mechanical gloves of both arms, he pulled his whole body from the monster's burning back.
This time was different from the last time in the cave. He couldn't kill the monster, and he didn't need to kill it at all.
Just by passing by and jumping close to him, Su Lun perfectly avoided the mental shock wave of being stared at by the Spider King.
In the air, he put away his clothes in an instant, then rolled to the ground, peeled off the storage ring on the body, swallowed the gray mist, and uttered all the syllables in his mouth: "Ti Ermidor M. Chekov."
The entire process was planned to perfection, as if it had been rehearsed countless times.
The next moment, the surrounding light and shadow changed, and Su Lun had returned to the basement of 88 Green Street.
......
There weren't many things in Sergei's storage ring, so Suellen poured everything out.
Some strange bottles and jars, mostly made of materials that look dangerous and strange.
[Mummy's pituitary gland], [Blight rat's short tail], [Rotten giant's tear gland], [Komodo dragon's saliva]...
Then he used the Eye of Truth to identify it, and he ignored those strange plague materials.
After some rummaging, I successfully found a way to lift the [Crow’s Septic Blood Curse]. A medicinal powder for internal use.
After seeing the efficacy, he took it without hesitation.
Not long after, the curse mark on the attribute panel disappeared.
After killing Sergei, a second-level professional who was good at the ultimate, and lifting the curse, the pressure in Su Lun's heart also eased, and he exhaled a long breath: "Huh... good luck."
At this time, he had the time to recall the memories he had just harvested.
"Obtained 4 memory fragments of 'Sergei Mari'"
"You have obtained some information: 'The ruins of Dawn City seem to be an ancient battlefield, and many incredible treasures have been found in the city...'"
"You have mastered some 'curse knowledge'"
"You have mastered the skill [Curse Technique·Crawler]"
"You have gained some 'crow domestication knowledge'"
"Alchemy Casting Experience +31"
"Mental Power +0.8"
After swallowing the gray mist, Su Lun found that there were many more things in his mind, mostly about crows and curses.
Moreover, he also directly mastered a new skill.
"The grass-rooter? He uses the target's blood and uses long-range attacks to torture the opponent's spirit and body...the farther away, the worse the effect..."
Su Lun's mind flashed with detailed information about this skill.
This curse is somewhat useful, but it doesn't seem to be very useful.
It hurts people from a distance, but the attack method is weird. But if the distance is too far, it can only create nightmares, hallucinations, etc. to torture the target's spirit, and it is of little use.
Hmm...suitable for some vicious women to torture their love rivals.
But suddenly, inspiration flashed in his mind.
"Hey, the closer the distance, the greater the damage... If this curse warlock is solidified into the puppet doll, if the enemy's blood is absorbed during the battle, and the opponent wants to attack the doll, wouldn't he be hurting himself? This curse Your skills seem pretty good?"
Su Lun only has an introductory puppet making encyclopedia in his hand, which explains various basic production methods and theories for making puppets, but there are not many design drawings of the finished product.
But there is a sentence with infinite possibilities written in it: "Creativity and imagination are the most precious potentials of a puppet master. A qualified puppet master needs to create rune puppets that suit him/herself."
Su Lun feels that this idea of "curse + doll" is a good idea.
The idea flashed through my mind for a moment, thinking that I could give it a try in the future.
After digesting the harvested memories, he picked up the crow's mouth mask that he had taken from Sergei's corpse.
After appraisal, it is also a powerful cursed object.
[Plague Doctor’s Crow’s Mouth Mask]
Quality: Silver
Description: Plague doctor, is he the **** of death who spreads plague, or is he a doctor who saves people and cures diseases?
Curse Characteristics: A gas mask with cursed characteristics. Wearing it, you can filter more than 99% of the toxins in the air. If you wear the mask for a long time, your toxin resistance will slowly increase, and your plague resistance will be greatly improved; however, Occasionally, you will be inexplicably poisoned by the old poison remaining in the mask, or you may catch the plague;
Detailed explanation: Eighteen hundred years ago, when a plague was rampant in a certain city, a kind-hearted doctor once wore it to solve the terrible plague; after his death, the reputation of the plague doctor was passed down.
The properties of this mask are very good. It can filter almost 100% of toxins, which is much better than the top gas masks on the market.
Moreover, long-term wear can also slowly improve the body's resistance to toxins. This is also a very good growth attribute. The later the stage, the higher the toxin resistance.
"It's a good thing, but it's very recognizable. If you wear this, I'm afraid the whole old town will know that I killed Sergei..."
Su Lun raised his eyebrows slightly. To him, this was a tasteless thing.
He is not a professional doctor. The curse of occasional poisoning is very "lucky". If you take a breath, the toxin may not be filtered, and you may be infected with old poison from ancient times.
He couldn't guarantee that the poison would be cured.
Furthermore, he dared to say that if he wore this mask, those guys from the Crow Gang would definitely fight to the death.
...........
It is a pity that due to time constraints, the inauguration materials and colonial clothes on Sergei's body were not taken out.
But it’s not bad.
The purpose of killing is to escape, and the gain is just by the way.
Su Lun also felt quite satisfied.
I thought that when the cursed space was triggered, Mr. Black would appear.
Su Lun also wanted to say sorry to him.
But after waiting for a while, no one came, and Su Lun didn't stay in the apartment longer.
In order to kill Sergey, a lot of time was wasted. The leading troops of the Inner City Umbrella Organization may have arrived in the south city.
What he needs to do now is to go back to Green Street immediately and take his belongings out of the city.
