Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 63: The mutated amoeba

 "Beautiful woman...could it be the thing that was rumored to be near Green Street?"

Su Lun, as a local snake who hangs out in Greene, naturally knows that there have been many inexplicable missing persons cases on Greene Street in recent times. On more than one occasion, witnesses reported seeing very beautiful women appearing in places where people disappeared.

 Obviously, that "beautiful woman" is most likely not a human being.

 It is some kind of deformed monster.

 …........

Su Lun looked at the surrounding environment and frowned. This was no longer an area he was familiar with.

 The bad news is that one student is missing, and there is no warning.

 The good news is, there is only one missing.

 He suggested to the female assistant coach: "I think... we'd better get out of here first."

 Stop the loss in time before it is too late.

 Rosa obviously also knew that the situation was critical. If there were other teachers here, she would definitely choose to search in the cave.

 But now, she has no choice but to try her best to ensure that the students in front of her will not have any problems.

 She nodded in agreement with Su Lun's statement and said: "Students, something happened during this trial. I announced the termination of the trial, and everyone will return to the ground immediately."

 Someone said: "But teacher, we...are we going to give up on Kom?"

 “I’ll come back to him later.”

  Rosa thought about it and asked Suellen: "Mr. Guide, is there another way for us to get back to the ground?"

Su Lun thought about it and realized that it was true, but he didn’t dare to say too much, “I’ll give it a try.”

 He also wanted to leave here as soon as possible and put distance between himself and these students as soon as possible.

 Because he felt that things would get worse if he delayed it any longer!

 And his premonitions of bad things have always been terrifyingly accurate.

  .....

 The students were frightened and had no intention of staying any longer, but just as they were packing up their equipment and preparing to leave.

 Suddenly, there was a sound of water stains coming from the corridor they came from before, as if something wet was running fast.

 The students seemed to be familiar with this sound and shouted in horror: "Teacher Rosa, no, the black dog is here again!"

Su Lun was startled when he heard this. He did not dare to be careless and looked over with focused eyes.

Just as he saw the end of his field of vision, seven or eight slime monsters in the form of "dogs" with no fuzzy facial features ran out of the corridor.

 The identification still showed [mutated amoeba].

At this time, the assistant teacher Rosa also pulled out the musket tied to her thigh, raised her hand and fired several shots at the monster.

 Her marksmanship was good and she directly hit the heads of two monsters.

 Then Su Lun watched the monster's head explode into black water all over the ground, but the monster continued to run, and in the blink of an eye, it formed another head again.

 Seeing this, Su Lun frowned slightly.

 The students on the side also said anxiously: "Teacher, physical attacks are useless, only using fire can pose some threat to it!"

  .....

 "Tenacious vitality, good at deformation and fusion..."

Su Lun looked at everything in front of him coldly. He had replaced the ordinary pistol in his hand, but held two rune guns equipped with alchemical bullets.

 His eyes flickered frequently, capturing the monster's movements, and he analyzed in his mind: "Unless its body is burned dry, it will be difficult to kill. The attack method is only close corrosion, which is not too fatal... Trouble It’s the quantity.”

 Looking at the end of the corridor, there seemed to be more than seven or eight of them, and there were even more of those black dogs!

 Assistant teacher Rosa quickly tried other attack methods, but they had little effect. She immediately shouted: "Retreat first!"

 The escape route has been blocked, and they have no choice but to evacuate as they walk deeper into the cave.

 Physics professionals have absolutely no way to deal with these monsters. Once they get close, even combat uniforms will be quickly corroded and white smoke will rise. Only "Elemental Alchemy Bullets" and some fire spells are of some use, but they only slow down the pursuit of those monsters.

 That thing can't be killed at all!

 Even if one of those foam bombs was used to seal the tunnel again, those "black dogs" would appear from nowhere and pursue them relentlessly.

Su Lun followed the students all the way down the mountain.

  He quickly pieced together the memory fragments in his mind, trying to find another route back to the ground.

 But the strange thing is that no matter how the group changes paths, those black dogs can always appear in any corner like ghosts and find them accurately.

 Not long after, not only were there chasing monsters, but there were even intercepting monsters.

 The situation is becoming increasingly critical.

  ......

 But the turnaround came suddenly.

By chance, in an open place, after the people dispersed, Su Lun discovered an attack characteristic of those "black dogs": these black dog monsters do not attack everyone, but only attack in a targeted manner. With a small team.

 That is the team with Jack, who is known as the "first shot of the academy"!

 A female student fell down before. Those black dogs could obviously kill the nearest target, but it actually ignored her and rushed to the front of the crowd.

Before long, all the students discovered that as long as they avoided Jack's team, the black dogs would not attack them at all.

 Looking closer, the black dog’s target was not that team, but a girl in the team.

 Someone noticed the abnormality and shouted: "Teacher, those monsters are coming for Lena!"

 At this moment, everyone understood that these black dogs were chasing Reina from beginning to end, not them.

 Just now they blocked Reina in the crowd, so they mistakenly thought that the black dog would attack everyone.

 Having discovered this, almost all the students instinctively avoided the girl.

 Sure enough, Black Dog skipped them and the crisis was instantly resolved.

Su Lun looked at this scene, and the clues in his mind instantly connected together, and a conspiracy took shape.

 He suddenly realized: "It turns out that the monster's habit of being 'very sensitive to certain smells' is used in this way!"

 Just like a trained drug-detection dog, it will not bite ordinary people, but will attack criminals carrying contraband.

 “Is this monster controlled by someone?!”

Su Lun immediately concluded: "In order not to cause too many casualties, I got such a targeted monster to ambush here... The murderer is a big shot in the inner city!"

 You can tell with your **** that this must be some kind of **** infighting among the plutocrats.

 The mastermind behind all this is trying to kill the girl named "Rena"!

  .....

Su Lun felt so **** up that he was inexplicably involved in the chaebol fight in the inner city.

His current identity as a gangster is nothing more than cannon fodder in the struggle between big forces.

  No matter whether the conspiracy of the mastermind succeeds or not, he, the guide, will be implicated.

 Maybe he will be framed as an accomplice, after all, he was the one who led the trial route!

  "We are really in big trouble... If the girl's identity is very important, if she dies on the territory of the Cross Society, it may be difficult for the gang's top brass to deal with her."

Su Lun’s thoughts were racing in his mind.

 Looking at the situation in front of him, he was almost certain that he was going to run away.

 But I thought that if he ran away, no one would take the blame, and Senjo and Kai would definitely be implicated.

 So he still had no intention of giving up immediately until it was absolutely necessary.
