Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 42: Dilemma

"Is this... the sickle called the [Forbidden Object]?"

Su Lun's thoughts changed and he immediately thought of something.

In the memory he peeled off, the monster was clearly wary of the scythe, which meant that the scythe-shaped thing was definitely not an ordinary object, and was very likely to have cursed properties.

And judging from the shape, it completely matches the [Hypnos' Black Scythe of Night] described by the previous gang leader.

Thinking about it again, he said that the guy who attacked the gang headquarters fled to the vicinity of Green Street and was suspected of hiding in an underground pipe. Su Lun immediately determined that the scythe in the monster's memory was probably that thing!

"So that guy actually came here? The sickle is here. Is he dead or escaped?"

Su Lun felt that there was a high probability that the person would also die.

That place is the monster's lair, and it is unlikely that a living person can enter it.

.......

Although unexpected information was obtained from the memory fragments of the monster's corpse, this did not change Su Lun's current situation.

No matter whether the sickle is a forbidden object or not, or whether it has any incredible uses, it is still deep in the sewer and cannot solve the urgent need.

Furthermore, although Su Lun has some more "sewer layout plans" in his mind, the consciousness of monsters is very different from that of humans. Even if Su Lun looks familiar to these pipes now, that's all. Apart from the exit from Tongzi Tower, he could not think of any better escape route.

But at this moment, monsters from the depths of the cave surged out, blocking the subway tunnel tightly, and the only exit became a dead end.

Not far away, the gunfire from the Steam Party guys has gradually become sparse.

The greater the movement, the more distorted monsters will be attracted.

Thanks to their fierce firepower, they helped Su Lun attract most of the firepower, otherwise the monster would have torn them into pieces in an instant.

The "red-haired" Kuntu was still standing strong. The fire spell in his hand burned blazing flames everywhere, covering the area of ​​​​the spell, causing the monsters to let out ear-piercing screams.

However, the Warlock, like the Gunslinger, does high damage and has obvious weaknesses.

Once approached, the melee combat ability is very poor.

What's more, even if that guy Kuntu uses semi-mechanical spellcasting, there is still a casting gap.

Monsters that are as dense as a tide will rush up and take a few bites during this gap.

As fewer and fewer of the gang members around him are alive, the guy's death is also expected.

On the other hand, Suellen and Kai's situation is not good either.

The two fought and retreated, and they were forced into a culvert that looked like a tunnel to avoid train drainage.

The advantage is that at least they only have to deal with the monsters in front of them instead of being attacked on all sides.

But the downside is that more and more monsters are gathering outside, making it increasingly difficult for them to break out.

.......

"This is terrible... There are too many monsters, and we are injured again. There is a high probability that we will not be able to get out, and we have to wait for rescue."

However, Kai's words also had an element of comforting him.

The heavily armed guys from the Steam Party were all wiped out here. Even if the Green Street support team got the news and rushed over, they might not be able to rush in and save people.

Unless... there are cadres coming in person.

However, the two of them may not be able to persist until that time.

Thinking of this, Kai mechanically slashed and cursed: "Damn it, how could there be such a large group of aberrant monsters in the sewers of the city!"

This is also the strange thing about Su Lun.

The dark spiritual power outside the city is strong, and it is not uncommon to see monsters. But the conditions for distortion in Old Town are limited, and there are still people cleaning them up from time to time. Why are there so many monsters in the sewers?

The density of monsters in this sewer is absolutely abnormal.

Furthermore, according to the identification of the omniscient eye, all of them are aberrations caused by special environmental factors.

It seems that for some reason in the sewers, the aberrations mutated in an undirected manner and awakened many strange abilities.

Like the wall-climbing monster with long mouthparts, the burly monster like a mountain of meat, the tall man monster with long arms and legs, the corrosive monster that can spray acid...

It was these who had long-range attack methods that defeated Su Lun and the other two.

"..."

Su Lun listened to Kai's angry scolding and did not answer. The index finger of both hands that pulled the trigger was already a little numb.

There are so many monsters that you can hit them casually even without deliberately aiming.

But after killing so many, new monsters still keep coming.

.......

"I'm going to use explosives to blow up the cave entrance, captain, be careful!"

"Okay!"

While changing bullets, Su Lun took the time to throw a grenade out, blowing up a group of monsters and relieving some pressure.

He felt that there might be some problems in the sewer, but now was not the time to think about it.

Thankfully, there is Kokai, a melee professional. Otherwise, no matter how good Su Lun’s marksmanship is, he would be overwhelmed by the tide of monsters even after firing a few shots.

Looking again, due to the continuation of high-intensity fighting, Kai's condition is getting worse and worse, and it is becoming more and more difficult to cope. Without hesitation, Su Lun decisively chose to use directional blasting bombs to blow up part of the pit.

This will narrow the exit and reduce the monster's attack space.

But this way, they can't get out.

With a "bang", the gravel fell, accurately blocking most of the hole.

Kai also found the opportunity and used the [blade] to cut several boulders above his head, blocking the last bit of passage space, and the two of them sat there paralyzed.

Outside the rocks, the sound of the monster digging holes could be heard.

Those sharp-toothed monsters dig holes very quickly, and the gravel probably won’t last long.

Su Lun and the two took advantage of the rare breathing time to bandage their wounds and load ammunition.

At the critical moment of life and death, Su Lun took out the remaining alchemy bullets and filled them in the wheel of the [Three-Headed Ghost] without hiding them.

Kay was not used to using firearms, so he stuffed a few grenades into his body.

The acid sprayed by the monster and the wounds caused by mouthparts licking made both of them look miserable, but fortunately, after cleaning the wounds and injecting healing medicine, they were fine.

After all this last night, there was probably a few minutes of rest.

Kayi looked at Su Lun and said with emotion: "I'm afraid we have passed this hurdle today..."

As Kai, who has been involved in gangs since he was a child, he has long been aware of the possibility of dying on the streets, so he can say this quite calmly.

He thought he could see some fear on Su Lun's face, but he found that this guy was loading the ammunition calmly, without any trace of fear or panic.

Kai thought of the scene where he killed everyone in the Steam Party before, and until now, he still felt like he was dreaming.

The two of them actually killed thirty people from the other side? !

Haha, it’s worth it.

Kayi couldn't understand why Su Lun was so calm and asked doubtfully: "Su Lun, aren't you nervous now?"

Su Lun didn’t explain much: “I’m a bit cold-blooded by nature.”

Kayi showed a hint of surprise: "Oh."

Maybe because he felt like he was about to burp, Kai suddenly started talking more.

"Su Lun, I didn't expect you to be able to 'gun fight'..."

"Well, I have been practicing my marksmanship hard."

"Is that your famous gun [Three-Headed Ghost]?"

The two of them have become friends in times of need. They still don’t know whether they can survive. Su Lun feels that there is nothing to hide. After all, the gun is so recognizable.

He nodded lightly: "Yes."

Hearing this answer, Kai looked at Su Lun's bald head and smoky makeup, as if he had guessed something, and suddenly became interested.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked with a wicked look on his face: "Could it be that... you are the son of Ivan "Iron Head"? ”

"..."

Su Lun's eyelids twitched when he heard this, and he didn't know how this guy's brain circuit could associate this.

Kayi guessed that it was definitely not the case, but he still took pleasure in the hardship and joked, "Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you."

Su Lun explained: "No, I killed him."

"You actually killed Ivan?"

Kayi's eyes were full of disbelief when he heard this. This was more shocking news than an illegitimate child.

Ivan is a veteran killer of the Crow Gang. He is a more troublesome professional than the previous "Iron Gorilla" Sith, and cannot be killed by ordinary people.

But then thinking about Su Lun's previous combat prowess, Kai guessed that he had many secrets.

For such a young "gun expert", he still knows how to fight with guns, and his background is definitely not ordinary.

But in the gang, many people have secrets in their pasts. He didn't ask any more questions and said seriously: "If we can get out alive, I will keep your secret."

"Yeah."

Su Lun didn’t say much.

Not to mention that today some of the trump cards have been exposed, and it would be redundant to cover it up.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is only one secret about him that cannot be exposed, and that is the identity of the original owner.

As for the rest...

The two S talents have no obvious characteristics. As long as you don’t tell yourself, others will not know;

The profession of "Puppet Master" can be dealt with as an ordinary puppet master;

As for the marksmanship, gangsters who fight with each other in fire and weapons are a common thing, they will be exposed sooner or later.

Although the contact time was not too long, Su Lun felt that the captain Kai deserved some trust.

What's more, he had saved his own life before.
