Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 463: Horror Wax Museum (Supplement)
As midnight approached, Su Lun rode a motorcycle to the Caktero Port in Nancheng District.
The information he received said that the "curator" used her channels in the Linton gang and said that a batch of goods would be coming in tonight.
The visibility at the dock is not high, there is moist mist in the air, and little moonlight falls on the ground.
But you can still see some sneaky figures in the pier.
This is a normal passenger and cargo terminal during the day, but there are many stowaways and smugglers active at night.
When they arrived at the agreed place, Su Lun saw that Mr. Hei, who was wearing a black robe with gold patterns, had arrived first.
The two met and nodded similarly.
Mr. Hei looked at Su Lun and originally wanted to talk about business directly, but seeing the difference in his expression, he couldn't help laughing and joked: "Little Su Lun, did you not get a good rest last night?"
Su Lun had no idea what he was talking about.
Rao is now a sixth-level professional, so strong that he can kill a monster with one punch. But spending a day and a night with Sabina and Lena was a bit too much.
Su Lun didn't mind the teasing at all. The two of them were already old friends, so he smiled cheekily and said, "Yeah."
Mr. Hei also smiled and sighed, "It's great to be young."
Su Lun raised his eyebrows with a half-smile, knowing that now was not the time for small talk, so he added: "I'll leave it to you tonight, sir."
Mr. Hei nodded with a smile and said no more.
Su Lun Warlock sealed his hand, and a black hole in space appeared in his hand. Mr. Hei stepped into it.
Both sides are fishing tonight, it depends on who has better methods.
The "curator" must have come prepared.
Su Lun is not sure that he will win, or there may be other changes, so calling Mr. Hei will give him more confidence.
Although her senior sister is there to support her, she will not take action unless absolutely necessary
Su Lun looked at his pocket watch. The shipment would arrive at the port at one o'clock in the evening, which was still half an hour away.
It was quiet all around, and occasionally I could hear the sound of insects in the grass.
Su Lun quietly blended into the darkness alone, his eyes silently staring at the dock in the distance, his eyes slightly distracted.
And quietly, a man with a cloak covering his face walked out of the darkness quietly.
Su Lun looked at it and said hello: "Sister?"
I didn’t sense the soul. Obviously what came was not the body, but the mirror image.
"Yeah."
Mr. Jing responded and opened his cloak, revealing his cold and arrogant face.
Su Lun's night vision ability is very good. When he looked at this pretty face that suddenly appeared, he had a slightly strange expression when he was originally calm.
Mr. Jing noticed it and asked casually: "What's wrong?"
Su Lun looked away, not daring to look directly, "It's nothing."
He felt that he had always been frank, and he had never been so "guilty" as at this moment.
It’s all Sabina’s fault, tell her not to use her second succubus ability indiscriminately, now it’s over.
The scene evokes emotions, and certain memory fragments emerge unconsciously.
It's like some idioms in the past life, which are obviously normal, but some authors have used them for other purposes, and they can no longer be looked at directly.
Like broad daylight, hesitation, and hitting the nail on the head
It doesn't sound like much, but if you think about it carefully, it doesn't sound right.
The more I think about it, the more I don’t understand.
Su Lun restrained his wandering thoughts and complained in his heart: I knew this would be the case.
The conversation between the two stopped for a moment.
Mr. Hei can see that Su Lun's complexion is different, how can Mr. Jing not see it?
What's more, Sabina is now an important intelligence officer in the Mirror organization. As the leader, how come Mr. Mirror doesn't know about her natural ability to solve the succubus?
Thinking about Su Lun's expression just now, I still can't guess anything.
Mr. Jing’s expression still showed no emotion. He only glanced at it for a moment and secretly spat: “Nonsense.”
The tone does not sound angry, but more like the helpless admonishment of a senior sister to a naughty junior brother.
How could Su Lun dare to say this?
But in his heart, he was full of love, love and respect for his senior sister, and he was open and honest.
After a moment of change, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
The two have been together for so long, so Mr. Jing is naturally familiar with Su Lun’s temperament. That's why she just said "nonsense" that sounded like feigned anger, rather than being really angry.
Besides, when we were on the boat before, we were always being teased by thousands of people, so I was used to it.
The awkwardness in the air was instantly resolved by the two's openness.
Mr. Jing shook his head slightly, skipping the topic.
Her expression was as indifferent as ever, and she got down to business again: "I came here to tell you that there may be some top masters from the Giant Hermitage coming tonight. I probably won't be able to take care of you. You have too much on your own. Be careful."
Su Lun frowned as he heard this, "Top master?"
As he turned his eyes, he thought of something and asked again: "Senior sister, have you gone to visit that Master Pierre?"
Su Lun also did not forget to make an appointment for his senior sister and the ninth-level royal priest to visit at the Full Moon Ball last night. The head of Military Intelligence knew more about the Red Death than anyone else.
Mr. Jing nodded and said, "I'm going."
Su Lun was very curious about what wonderful conversations there would be between the two great alchemists who were born a thousand years apart but stood at the pinnacle of the alchemy field, and what sparks of wisdom they would bring to this era.
But before he spoke, Mr. Jing guessed the curiosity in his eyes and said directly: "We talked about some insights on later career advancement and exchanged alchemy. Master Pierre also stood here. Times gave a lot of suggestions to 'Lingming' and talked about Lu Ying's current situation and some future. After explaining some things. In short, this visit has benefited me a lot and is also very beneficial to the development of the organization."
After pondering for a moment, she added: "As for the other things, I can't say anything now."
Su Lun was not too surprised when he heard what he said before.
But he immediately understood the last sentence "can't say".
This must be a conversation about the "Giant Hermitage" or something.
The Shinto system has many strange and mysterious abilities.
Such as calling someone by name will be sensed by some gods.
We are still not sure about the origin of the alien **** behind the evil sect, so it would be safer to be careful.
Su Lun nodded seriously and did not ask: "I understand, senior sister."
The senior sister said that top professionals are coming, and things seem to be more different than expected tonight, and the pressure suddenly rises.
The two of them didn't speak anymore, it seemed like they were just two shadows standing in the darkness
At exactly one o'clock at midnight, a small steamboat came to the pier.
A few people got off the boat. They were still wearing miscellaneous combat equipment and looked like mercenaries who had just come off the battlefield.
This is a member of the "Iron Boots Mercenary Group" who has just returned from Stormgar in the south. There happened to be two lords gathering troops to fight over a mineral deposit.
Another piece of news is that three days ago, 30,000 militiamen mysteriously disappeared in the war zone in Stormgarland, and their whereabouts are still unknown.
With these pieces of information connected together, it is not difficult to guess that someone is harvesting human lives on the battlefield. Just like on a cruise ship, refining the [Blood Refining Crystal Core] that the evil **** needs.
The information is very directional. Anyone who pays attention to the movements of the "Giant Hermitage" will definitely guess it.
Suellen knew this was the bait to lure him into taking the bait.
But since it is part of the plan, there is nothing to think about.
He watched those people carrying several large boxes get into a car, and then teleported to follow them.
Su Lun predicted the driving route of the steam car in advance and arranged the trap. When the target vehicle sped from the direction of the dock, he had already pulled a crystalline thread on the road.
The motorcycle sped by, causing a fishy breeze on the street.
Looking again, the sharp thread had smoothly cut the vehicle in two.
Quietly, causing almost no fighting noise.
The thread stained with blood was left hanging in the air. The locomotive with its shell cut off hit a corner more than ten meters away. The front of the locomotive was deformed and exploded with a "boom".
The fourth-level mercenary captain in the car noticed the abnormality in advance and jumped out of the car door. But before he could escape, a gargoyle appeared in front of him.
The gargoyle used his left hand to perform the Space Confinement Technique, grabbed his right hand, and crushed the man's heart in one glance.
Su Lun teleported and appeared at the wreckage of the locomotive. He harvested a few clouds of "grey mist" first and found that, just as the intelligence said, these guys had gone to the battlefield to harvest crystal cores.
He didn't pay much attention to the body, but looked at the black suitcases.
One of them was cut open by the silk thread, revealing a pineapple-sized crystal core emitting a strange red light.
After identification, it turned out to be a [Crystal Core Refined with the Blood of Eight Thousand People]
Su Lun looked at the crystal core, and his thoughts suddenly started to change.
Fishing must require real bait. This blood-refined crystal core is the evil product of the Giant Monastery.
This thing is of no use to ordinary people. Even Su Lun, who has not advanced to the sixth level, is holding it as a broken stone.
But now, when he looked at the crystal core, his eyes were slightly burning.
This piece is two or three times larger than the one he got before, and the life essence it contains is frighteningly exaggerated.
After all, it is the product of eight thousand lives.
Seeing this thing, Su Lun looked at his attribute panel again.
After absorbing the previous crystal, his strength soared from 760 to over a thousand. Then after the two days of complete digestion, it stabilized at the value of 925.
The Qi and blood evaluation has also changed from A+ to S-, which is a huge improvement.
In other words, the crystal core on the previous cruise ship gave him a power surge of 165 in a short period of time. It is a long way closer to the 4300 power required to fuse [Issac's Giant Power].
Under normal circumstances, this is simply impossible.
It may take several years for him to train and improve his own physical skills. After encountering the bottleneck limit later, it will become more and more difficult.
In front of me, there are three suitcases.
This is a shortcut to the sky.
Su Lun instinctively calculated in his heart the improvement in attributes that the three crystals could bring to him. Holding back the expectation in his heart, he sighed slightly: "The evil god's sideways approach is really irresistible. Temptation."
Not to mention anything else, just these few crystal nuclei made Su Lun feel that he had gained a lot
As soon as the thought flashed, Su Lun also put away the three suitcases, and kept his senses open, always paying attention to the surroundings of the block.
At this time, a pattering sound suddenly came from his ears. For a moment, cool raindrops fell on his body. Su Lun's pupils shrank suddenly: Here it comes!
Having been discovered by these weird raindrops twice, it would be strange if Su Lun didn’t know that this was the [Ghost Bride].
The enemy is obviously well prepared.
Su Lun suddenly looked up and saw on the roof of a red brick building dozens of meters away, a terrifying wax figure wearing a plain white wedding dress was standing there, staring straight at the car accident with his cold and resentful eyes. on site.
Not just a body, when the rain fell, the strong wind blew in the streets and alleys, making a terrifying sound like a wail.
Although I didn't see the entity, in my soul's perception, the scary ghost-like wax figure [Sleeping Beauty] slowly floated towards me.
Su Lun has seen these two terrifying wax figures, which are about the combat power of a sixth-level professional. The troublesome thing is their elemental ability. But for those who have mastered Haki, the threat is not too great.
Su Lun didn't take them too seriously.
His eyes were also searching for something else in the darkness.
However, something unexpected happened!
At this moment, he suddenly felt that the force field around his body suddenly changed, as if the gravity suddenly increased tenfold, like the weight of a mountain, and his internal organs suffered a terrifying pressure and sank suddenly.
As if his soul was about to be pulled out, Su Lun's face suddenly changed, and he shouted in his heart: "The secret of the earth element, force field distortion!"
The advanced use of the "Earth Element" spell can change the regional force field, just like now.
If Su Lun's physical fitness was not far superior to that of ordinary mysterious professionals, some organs might have been overwhelmed by the pressure and would have ruptured on the spot.
The key is that this technique has almost no warning and is very hidden.
Su Lun took a breath, then looked up, and saw a headless horseman holding a big sword and covered in black energy appearing on the street corner behind him, riding slowly towards him.
The horse's hooves make a rhythmic sound of "thump, thump" and "thump thump, thump" on the ground.
Every time he took a step, the strange force field trembled.
This terrifying knight obviously has no head, but it makes Su Lun feel like it is staring at him.
Su Lun had no time to be surprised.
Not only this, but an old woman wearing a witch's hat and burning will-o'-the-wisps also appeared at nine o'clock.
After appraisal, the four-element wax figures of [Water Statue·Ghost Bride], [Wind Statue·Sleeping Beauty], [Earth Statue·Hellless Horseman], and [Fire Statue·Grimm Witch] were all present.
Su Lun was not too surprised to see this.
From the first time he met the [Ghost Bride], he had guessed that the manipulator behind the scenes had mastered this thing.
The four terrifying wax figures are all strange legends that are well-known in Lu Ying, and their origins are unknown many years ago.
The wax figures in front of me are not just a coincidence in their names, but they contain some kind of curse power.
It's like the incense **** of Shanyin Kingdom.
People find weird stories scary, and that "thought" will manifest the weird fantasy in the story, and will also absorb spiritual thoughts such as resentment, fear, despair, etc., and become stronger and stronger.
In other words, the controller is truly a master of necromancy and Shinto mysteries.
She turned these weird legends into corpse wax figures!
The four terrifying wax figures in front of them were connected together, and a coercion that only faced seventh-level professionals came over them instantly.
Su Lun narrowed his eyes slightly and felt a certain threat as he looked at the four terrifying wax figures surrounding him.
But not fatal.
But he was thinking in his mind: "Then Dean Heidemann should be here too. Otherwise, she should know that these horrible wax figures cannot keep me."
Sure enough, at the moment when these thoughts came together, a guy wearing a cloak walked slowly not far away.
Although he couldn't see the face clearly, Su Lun's soul perception did not recognize him as the director of the Royal Academy's "Institute of Ancient Magic and Archeology", Hyndman Elpso.
The horror wax figure is also a type of puppet.
No matter how powerful it is, if the controller is not nearby, its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
Seeing this woman taking action in person, Su Lun was expecting the "big fish" tonight.
The School of Archeology is a very unpopular major in the Royal Academy. Noble young masters and ladies do not want to deal with corpses in tombs all day long, so there are very few students. Dean Heideman himself is also very low-key and has a low reputation. No one thinks she is a very powerful expert, most people think she is a civilian dean.
But as soon as this guy appeared, his murderous intent made Su Lun's scalp numb. He was no worse than any seventh-level professional he had encountered!
Not simply strong, but also evil.
This cloaked woman's whole body was shrouded in an aura of death.
Even the black crow on the shoulder sounded a warning
"Tsk, tsk, then try to see how sure you are to kill me!"
Su Lun looked sharply and knew that the enemy was well prepared.
But only one person came, which meant that Hedman was sure to kill him.
Seeing that this man was not polite at all, he raised the black sickle with one hand and slashed at him with one blow.
However, an unexpected scene occurred.
Although Su Lun's sword was just a test, and he did not expect to kill anyone like this, the black scythe's slash of space cracks still poses a great threat to professionals below the seventh level.
But just as the blade slashed down, Heidemann did not dodge. The elemental light flashed in front of her, and the [Headless Horseman] was already blocking her.
"Hey, this is elemental teleportation? There is no space fluctuation, how can you do it?"
Su Lun was slightly surprised.
The Omniscient Eye identified something, but it was still beyond comprehension. He only knew the function of some kind of necromancy.
However, the other party came with the purpose of killing Su Lun.
At the moment when the black scythe was slashed, the double surgeon seals of Heidemann changed rapidly. Taking advantage of the [Headless Horseman] to block the attack, she successfully condensed the spell and clapped it with one palm towards the ground, with a strange expression coming from the corner of her mouth. Smile: "Psychicism·Horror Wax Museum!"
In an instant, the surrounding scenery changed rapidly.
The dark street scene just now faded away like a tide in an instant, turning into a dilapidated manor in the wilderness.
PS. Ah, I sent a request for leave yesterday. After waiting for a while, no one responded, so I went to bed. When I woke up, I found that no one agreed to ask for leave. Okay, I'll make it up quickly.
