Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 451: The truth about kidnapping
Wineyard Street in Franklin District, the once prosperous art district, is now mostly in ruins.
In the hazy fog, dozens of figures were still fighting fiercely.
After just a few trials, the battle reached its climax.
[Earth Dwarf], [Wind Roar Puppet], [Black Balrog], [Venomous Water Puppet], [Machine Killer Shadow Puppet], [Powerful King Kong], [Candy Witch]
At this point, Grandmaster Aubrey’s signature seven dark gold puppets with quasi-seventh level combat power [Seven Dwarfs] have all appeared.
Suddenly, the crackling sounds of fighting stopped for a moment.
On the ruins, Su Lun was breathing heavily, holding the black sickle's right arm with a domineering presence, but could not move.
Looking carefully, you can see that there are several black silk threads wrapped around his arms and body. The thread, which was as sharp as a knife blade, was cut into the flesh. Although it was not cut off, there were traces of blood. The strength of the silk thread continues to increase.
Su Lun glanced at his arm, his eyes flashed solemnly for a moment, and he sighed in his heart: "The old guy is really scheming."
Aubrey is worthy of being a master of puppetry, and his silk control skills are simply superb.
The secret method of [Grid House] is not only to control puppets, but also to hide murderous intentions everywhere.
On a technical level, it is much more complicated and perfect than the [Slaughterhouse] that Su Lun himself thought about.
Even though Su Lun already knew the opponent's information in detail, the battle just now was still full of dangers.
Just like now.
The old man's silk threads have never achieved any results before, and his proficiency advantage against the witch's hair is limited in every way. This gave Su Lun a habitual fighting mentality, thinking that besides being sharp, this guy's threads were not dangerous. However, the old man relied on his superb silk control skills to quietly hide a few silk threads with "space confinement" inscribed on them. During the battle, he found a flaw and directly trapped Su Lun.
If it weren't for his physical strength, this cut would have broken off his arm even if he didn't die.
In this fight, Su Lun also saw the combat power and methods of the strong men who are at the top of the puppet world.
I have to admit, the gap is very big!
Under normal circumstances, not to mention fifth- and sixth-level professionals, even if seventh-level professionals come, it will be difficult to gain the upper hand.
This is the professional advantage of the puppet master.
Puppet masters have almost no possibility of being restrained, and they can find corresponding restraint methods against any professional they encounter.
The [Seven Dwarfs] puppet combination of the old man's elemental puppet lineage has been polished to perfection, and there is no shortage of elements, defense, field control, healing, and killing methods.
In terms of tactics, skills, coordination, and puppet quality, it is almost impeccable.
If Su Lun had not known much about puppetry, he would not have been qualified to fight face to face with this seventh-level grand master
After all, Su Lun went there with the intention of competing with the seniors in his field.
The defeat was expected.
It would be an unexpected surprise if the defeat was not so embarrassing.
But the shock in the heart of Aubrey, the great master, is indescribable.
He looked at Su Lun who was actually cut into pieces by his own silk thread. His eyes were full of disbelief, and he blurted out in surprise: "The secret method of engraving the body in the rune technique? No wonder he has such a strong body, even if Even if you are a fifth-level melee professional, you won’t have to give in too much.”
After a pause, he said in a complicated tone: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't believe that one person can integrate so many high-end colonial costumes and be proficient in so many types of techniques. I have to admit, you are Among the many geniuses I have seen, this is definitely the first one!"
Aubrey has indeed become murderous.
When this kind of enemy grows up in the future, it will definitely be a serious problem.
In Lingdun, he will not allow other puppet schools to shake the status of his elemental puppet lineage.
But after a fight, Aubrey found helplessly that he could not kill this junior who was two levels below him!
This feeling of helplessness was something that even professionals at the same level could not give him.
Aubrey looked back at her life, and thought she had seen countless puppet geniuses.
But he has never met a puppet master who made him feel so amazing.
Regardless of his skills, mentality, fighting style, or understanding of puppetry, he is the best he has ever seen among his juniors.
No!
Even the older generation in the Puppet Masters Guild, few can match this
Su Lun smiled when he heard the old man who was obviously murderous praising himself, and responded: "I am quite familiar with your methods, Grand Master. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely come back for advice."
I don’t want to waste time on such a tense battle.
But both sides know that they can't kill each other.
Although some blood seeped between Su Lun's teeth when he laughed, it was so ridiculous that he was not embarrassed at all.
Because his goal has been achieved: when looking for an opportunity to break the game, he can gain some combat insights in front of this grand master.
At this moment, his arm was entangled with silk threads. It was impossible for the body of [Rune King Kong] alone to block the old man's life-saving threads that he used as his trump card.
Because of his domineering attitude, there was a stalemate for a while.
Mr. Jing had told him before that if he wanted to temper his domineering power, the best way was to fight enemies who were beyond his level.
Only super-level enemies with super powers can give you a death crisis, level pressure, and the baptism and understanding of the domineering power of a strong person.
And Aubrey is a rare and suitable opponent.
If he really had to wait until Su Lun was at the same level as the Grand Master, or until he advanced to the sixth level, this old man wouldn't be able to put so much pressure on himself.
And only among fellow puppet masters, it is easier to see the opponent's flaws at a glance.
This battle.
Suellen also used Aubrey as a mirror and saw too many of her own shortcomings in details.
But he didn’t waste any more time, because at this time, he had already found a way to break the situation
The arm was wrapped in silk threads, and the bloodstains were getting deeper and deeper. It looked like it would be cut into pieces if it could not hold on for a few more breaths.
Su Lun was not panicked at all, because at this moment, the black crow on his shoulder that had been watching the excitement suddenly flapped its wings and flew down.
With a peck from the crow's beak, these special threads that were not easy to be cut by the black sickle immediately turned into pencil lines that looked like they were drawn on Su Lun's skin.
In an instant, the sharp cutting feeling disappeared without a trace.
Aubrey was so shocked that before she had time to draw the thread, she saw that her thread was being reduced in dimension.
He quickly cut off the piece of silk thread to avoid being affected by the spread of dimensionality reduction. At the same time, a haze flashed in his eyes, and he thought: "Summer? What a weirdo. Where do you get so many great opportunities in one body?"
Even if he didn't want to admit it, after learning about the super luxurious heritage, the grand master who had all the resources of the entire Lingdun Puppet Masters Guild felt unspeakable jealousy in his heart.
Su Lun escaped instantly without wasting any more time.
At this moment, he suddenly pulled away some distance, then let the gargoyle guard him, and pinched out a complex warlock's seal in his hand.
The seven-pointed star alchemy array under the feet gradually lights up, and a space fluctuation becomes stronger and stronger.
Grandmaster Aubrey on the other side looked at his move and his eyes suddenly froze!
After fighting for so long, he didn't know that it would be difficult to kill the opponent even if he tried his best.
And the other party is still here because he wants to kill Elsa!
Su Lun didn't give the old man any chance to intervene. The gargoyle blocked a wave of interference spells. As soon as the complex warlock seal that lasted for several seconds was condensed, violent spatial fluctuations suddenly appeared on his body!
Aubrey originally thought that hiding people in [Shadow Puppet] would be foolproof, but now looking at the shaking space around her, her expression suddenly changed: "Not good!"
He understood it at a glance, and was shocked and exclaimed: This guy actually has such a profound ability of the Law of the Void!
The moment the warlock took action, the old man had already guessed what Su Lun was going to do.
But it was too late to stop it, and there was nothing I could do to stop it.
Aubrey himself has a [Machine Killing Puppet] that can blend into the void, but it was passed down from his ancestors, and he is not proficient in the secrets of the void.
Now looking at the surrounding space surging, he could only watch helplessly as his [Shadow Puppet] was forced into action from the space crack.
The old man wanted the puppet to remain invisible, but found that an external force had pushed the puppet out, and he was unable to save it!
This is the gap in understanding the law.
Although this [Hidden Puppet] is of high grade, it is inherently flawed for a person who only knows how to activate solidification formations.
It's better to say that when you meet other professionals, when you meet an opponent who is truly proficient in the laws of space, if you observe carefully, you will definitely find opportunities to take advantage of them.
After fighting for so long before, Su Lun was actually calculating how to break the space seal restriction on the puppet and find Elsa hidden inside!
Because the puppet is hidden in a secondary space, there is no concept of spatial distance in reality.
For Su Lun, there is no difference between a few hundred meters away and being right in front of him, within arm's reach.
If Su Lun chooses to take action, he will do so resolutely.
As soon as the puppet was forced out of the secondary space, the black crow flew over, and then the whole bird became two-dimensional, turning into a black cloth full of black threads and directly wrapped the entire puppet. Cut off all contact between the puppet and the outside world.
"Void Alchemy·Photography from the Sky!"
Su Lun pinched the surgeon's seal again, and a black hole appeared out of thin air in front of his eyes.
He grabbed the void with one hand and pulled out a frightened woman.
Looking at the man who looked like a murderous **** in front of her, the aristocratic lady’s pupils were infinitely dilated, and only the fear of being frightened by death remained in her eyes.
Elsa never expected that her teacher had already taken action, so why could this person still catch her?
But the reality didn't give her a chance to think about it. There was a "click" sound of bones cracking, and Su Lun directly broke her neck.
In order to prevent the old man opposite from having any life-saving measures, Su Lun even activated the space technique and roughly strangled the woman's head into dozens of pieces of flesh and blood.
He felt relieved when he saw the "grey mist" rising from the corpse
Seeing the closed disciple being killed in front of his eyes, Aubrey's old face darkened with anger, and a strange flush came over him, "You, you"
He then understood that from the beginning, this guy was not just bluffing, but actually had the ability to kill people!
The cause of the matter was that one of his disciples was kidnapped and killed by the old man's disciples. This was a deadly feud. Su Lun had no intention of not taking action, and said calmly: "I said, you can't protect the people I want to kill."
He immediately harvested the gray mist.
For a moment, Su Lun also confirmed that this matter had nothing to do with Caroline, whom she had met once before. Because although the woman guessed that she was the "God of Death", she didn't know that she was "Fick Regadi".
This also saves the trouble of killing one more person.
Originally, he thought it was almost over, but when he thought about the details of the kidnapping, instead of feeling relieved, he frowned sharply.
"Things are really not that simple."
Thoughts flashed through Su Lun's mind for a moment, and he had no intention of getting into any more entanglements with the old man in front of him. Before leaving, he did not forget to say: "Although your Excellency has a high rank, your understanding of the laws of the void is far inferior to mine. This puppet , I smiled and accepted it”
He would not be polite to such an enemy who had already developed murderous intentions.
At this moment, the black crow has wrapped up the [Machine Killing Puppet], and all the dozens of threads that Aubrey used to implicate the puppet have been reduced to dimensionality.
Su Lun cut off the natal thread that the black scythe had struggled to cut before.
Then he took his loot into the small void without leaving the water.
Yes, it’s an open grab.
Now, the old man’s [Seven Dwarfs] have become [Six Dwarfs].
As he spoke, the space fluctuated and Su Lun disappeared on top of the ruins
Almost at the same time, hundreds of meters away.
Su Lun did not leave the wine street, but teleported among a group of people.
This is the family bodyguard team of the Bach family. They cannot participate in that level of battle, but they do not leave either.
Su Lun instantly found a woman in a black suit who was watching the battle.
This fourth-level professional is Elsa's personal bodyguard captain.
Su Lun looked at Elsa's memories as an outsider, so he also discovered anomalies.
Obviously, this woman does have a grudge against Karma because of the previous Puppet Master competition. But when he had murderous intentions, he was still "mentally instigated" by someone using the supernatural power of the mysterious system.
The person who instigated this was the bodyguard captain.
Su Lun had seen her in the exhibition hall before, so he took note of this soul fluctuation and immediately found it in the crowd.
Kama’s severed hands were the ones she gave to Elsa.
Looking at the sudden appearance of Su Lun, all the bodyguards were shocked.
But before they could react, a burly figure teleported behind the captain.
As soon as the gargoyle reached out, its sharp claws wrapped in a space storm broke open the body armor, digging out a large **** hole in her heart and killing her on the spot.
Su Lun ignored the bodyguards who were taking action and harvesting the "grey mist" from the body of the woman in the suit.
The moment he digested the information, hope suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he was suddenly startled: "Kama is not dead yet!"
The woman in the suit doesn't know much information, but it is very crucial.
The kidnappers kidnapped Kama and gave his severed hands to the "middleman."
When the middleman gave his hand to the woman in the suit, he also told him something important.
That is, Kama is not dead yet!
There is a conversation in my memory as follows:
"Where is the body?"
"Sent to Parrot Street. Lawrence, the leader of the Razor Party, "Bear Bear", has some friendship with me. I hope I can help him out and get a few virgin professionals to go there. Anyway, Miss Elsa only needs these hands, and the body will be used as trash. Don't worry, Lawrence never goes wrong. I'll take care of it. ”
""
Razor gangs, human traffickers, virgin professionals, urgent needs
These keywords may still be confusing to others.
But for Su Lun, the information he had was enough for him to judge everything.
When he saw the news, he immediately smelled a strong atmosphere of conspiracy.
I originally thought it was someone taking bait and fishing again,
I didn’t expect that,
Someone actually cast a wide net!
After thinking for a moment, Su Lun guessed why Kama was sent to "Parrot Street".
Because there is probably an old monster there that needs to **** the blood of virgins!
Only then did he realize that the kidnapping of Kama was directly related to the assassination of the old monster Augustna last night.
The purpose of the person behind the scenes is not just to kill an Elsa,
But I want to lead him there in the end!
Su Lun knows that [Lilith’s Vampire Ring] can stay young forever, but the prerequisite is that it needs to be nourished by enough girl blood.
Although I don’t know which generation of the Rodriguez family that August is, he is an old monster.
But that guy stayed young forever because of the ring, and the ring also gave him an ability similar to the immortality of a vampire.
I was hit hard by an assassination last night and luckily escaped with my life.
But if you want to survive and recover, you must absorb a large amount of girl's blood essence.
Now that I think about it, I am afraid that it was not because Augustus was so powerful that he escaped with his life, but because the assassin deliberately spared his life.
Just wait for now!
Wait for Su Lun to come to the door, and then pass on the crime of assassinating the top nobles.
He immediately guessed the whole story and sighed in his heart: "What a good plan! Those guys probably know that Augustus is an important figure in the Rodriguez family. As long as I kill that guy and get captured, even if Even if the identity of 'Fick' is exposed, neither the Lance family nor the Regadi family can protect me. In this way, the marriage will be destroyed, several senior members will fall into civil war, and the Luying political situation will completely fall into civil strife. Killing two birds with one stone , no wonder Chu deliberately planned to do this."
Su Lun knows that his current status is very special.
He is "Fick" and a member of the Dawn Organization.
One person involves several huge forces.
It is again at the critical juncture of the marriage between the Lance family and the Raigadi family.
So, touching him will immediately have the effect of confusing Lu Ying's political situation.
Moreover, the price is small.
Even if the matter is exposed, it is still a kidnapping and murder case caused by jealousy from beginning to end, and then accidentally involves a "vampire scandal" of the Rodriguez family.
The key is that Su Lun cooperated very well and helped them silence the relevant personnel.
The old monster Augustana may not know that he is being used at this moment.
However, now that he had guessed the motive, it was not difficult for Su Lun to figure out the person behind the scenes.
The political situation in Luying was in chaos, and the one who benefited the most was Archduke Raphael, who was now the number one military engineer in Luying.
If you want to destroy the marriage, there is a high probability that Young Master William will also be involved
Knowing that Kama was not dead yet, Su Lun was overjoyed.
But after thinking about the ins and outs of the matter,
He couldn't be happy instantly.
Kama may not be dead now just to give him a little hope.
But from the moment he knew the news, Kama may have died in August's hands.
Because only this kind of mortal hatred is enough reason for Su Lun to kill Augustus.
From the moment he dared to kill Elsa, he was carefully plotted step by step.
Su Lun figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing, and a cold light shone in his eyes: "Now that something has happened, we really need to dig out these sewer rats one by one and see them in the light."
But there is no chance at all.
The kidnapping happened an hour ago.
Because Su Lun acted decisively, he did not waste much time in the investigation until now.
The traffic in Linton in the morning was very congested, and the motorcycle was much slower than his teleportation.
Go now, there may be a chance to save people.
And the person behind the scenes probably didn't expect that Su Lun would not deal with the evil believers of the "Giant Hermitage" at all.
I won’t hesitate just because I’m from the Rodriguez family.
Those guys didn’t know, so they didn’t have to go to such trouble.
Even if there was no kidnapping, if he really heard about August's hiding place, he would go there.
Su Lun was already coveting the [Lilith’s Vampire Ring]. It's just that I was struggling with how to get it before, so I didn't rush to do it now.
I also happen to know that Augustus is an important leader of the "Hermitage of Giants", and if he kills him, he can get more information about this cult.
I haven't been able to kill one-on-one before.
Now the person behind the scenes is still afraid that he can't be killed, and the assassination last night also caused serious damage.
And not surprisingly, various environments suitable for assassination have been created. There is a high probability that it will be like when he killed Elsa. No high-level professional will intervene before killing her.
Fearing that the opportunity created was not perfect enough, Su Lun refused to enter the game.
This is really the best time.
But now these guys have dragged their disciples in. Even if the chance of survival is slim, Su Lun wants to do his best.
The risk is indeed not small, but it will definitely not go as those conspirators wish!
"Parrot Row in Queens"
Su Lun thought about it for a moment and instantly had a response in his mind.
Now that he knew Kama's location, he didn't hesitate at all and used space teleportation to cross the street.
Everywhere you can see is a thousand meters in an instant.
Rush there now, there may be a chance to save Kama.
Moreover, when he contacted Sabina, he also got good news. The mysterious king of the Linton underground gang "Shadow Lord" responded that he would intervene in this matter
Suellen killed Elsa and did not stay at the scene.
And the grand master of puppets, Aubrey, was killed in front of his disciples and did not wait for the mounted police to ask.
It was even more because his disciple didn't care about kidnapping and murder, and he didn't have the nerve to tell outsiders.
On the ruins of Chateau Street, the smoke gradually dissipated, and the crowd of onlookers became more and more numerous.
A public security department like the Rington Police Station arrived just in time, and the fight was finished just in time.
On another block, an inconspicuous steam car from the Lance family drove over.
In the carriage, Grand Duke Bartolo looked at the ruins without any excitement. He pursed his lips in disinterest and muttered: "Oh, the fighting was quite intense. It's a pity that I couldn't see the scene."
He himself is a top powerhouse. He looked at the battle traces and restored some battle scenes in his mind, and said: "Looking at the battle traces, most of the dark gold elemental puppets of [Seven Dwarfs] showed their faces. Yes. Tsk tsk, the old man Aubrey can be forced to kill, but he hasn't been able to kill him yet. That kid's methods are really getting more and more incomprehensible."
On the side, Ekaterina listened to her father's chatter and looked at the surrounding environment expressionlessly.
Suddenly, she shifted her gaze several hundred meters away.
It was on a high ground where you could just see the action in the neighborhood near Winery Street.
She thought of something and murmured: "The planner and Young Master William should have been there to watch the battle."
Bartolo listened and asked curiously: "Oh? Katyusha, did you use astrology to divination?"
Ekaterina shook her head and said: "William is too conceited. He will definitely come."
Bartolo seemed to understand, and chuckled: "Criminal psychology? Will the perpetrator come to the scene to take a look?"
Ekaterina responded: "No, it's just the character flaw of Young Master William. That kind of person has good talent and always feels that the world revolves around him. Being born into the Raigadi family, it is true that He has also grown up. Unfortunately, he cannot withstand setbacks. Once the road is not smooth sailing, his mentality will easily go to extremes. He will not be able to achieve great things."
Bartolo sounded a little bored and shrugged: "I also think that Young Master William is not pleasing to my eyes. As for the other boy, I am much more pleasing to my eye. But"
After saying this, he seemed to have thought of something unpleasant, "Forget it. If I keep talking, I want to beat that guy up again."
Ekaterina listened expressionlessly.
Bartolo glanced at his daughter and asked, "It's not busy here anymore, so where are we going now?"
Ekaterina said: "Keep an eye on the other great congressmen. Especially the two families that have a grudge against Archduke Raphael. There are also the legions and private soldiers under their command. Once there is a large-scale transfer of personnel, , it just started a fight."
Bartolo suddenly understood, and then said: "But by the time we go there, everyone will probably be killed. What else is there to see?"
"After the people are killed, the excitement will begin. Astrology predicts that there will be blood rain today, which is a sign of great misfortune. A big 'big shot' should die this time."
Ekaterina played with the pair of purple meteorites in her hands.
As she spoke, she pondered for a moment and then said to herself: "Could it be an old guy from some family? Tsk, tsk, it's getting more and more interesting."
After teleporting several times, Su Lun appeared in a bustling neighborhood.
Parrot Street in Queens is the famous arms trading market in South City.
The entire street is full of gun retail and modification shops.
The arms business is hugely profitable and will inevitably involve gangs.
There are several gangs mixed in this area. The Razor Gang, the Motorcycle Gang, the Fire Thieves, and the Ghost Head Gang are all small gangs left behind after the three major gangs in London, Blackstone, were whitewashed.
Almost all the illegal human trafficking in Ling Duncheng is in the hands of these people.
Although there are not many high-level professionals in the gangs, when it comes to kidnapping, no one is more professional than them.
PS. I am still feeling unwell today, so I will make up for it tomorrow.
