Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 70: I am a puppet master (big
"Mr. Su Lun...I...do I really have to keep my eyes covered? But I can't see anything..."
"Well, because they are already here."
Su Lun didn't explain how he knew someone was coming, and Reina didn't ask any more questions.
Although the two of them had not been in contact for a long time, Reina had an almost blind trust in this stranger introduced by her aunt.
Knowing that the killer is very strong and that this cave is full of dangers, yet until now, she has not seen any trace of panic from this man, he has always been calm and calm. Because of this indifference, even Reina herself felt affected, and she felt calm enough to face death.
At this moment, she was being led by Su Lun, with a thick blindfold on her head, and she didn't know where she was going.
With his eyes covered, he naturally gave up the fight completely.
It's not that Reina's combat prowess is poor, on the contrary, her basic skills are quite solid. Regardless of fighting, marksmanship or alchemy, they are far superior to ordinary first-level professionals.
However, in the current desperate situation, if you want to survive, whether it is a deformed monster or a killer, Reina's combat power is not enough.
On the contrary, focusing on being a "bait" will give her a greater chance of survival.
After blindfolding her, she didn't notice pairs of scarlet eyes lighting up in the darkness around her, nor did she see the almost sickly grin on Su Lun's face.
Under the crisis, Su Lun once again felt the feeling that made his adrenal glands soar. "He" also liked the feeling of walking on a tightrope.
Escape?
Tsk...
No... I want to kill people, I want to take banned objects, and I want to kill monsters... too!
Isn’t it just a high-quality spider leg material? There are just the right targets here, and plenty of them.
"The next battle will be very dangerous, but as long as I am not killed first, you will not die in front of me... Remember, if you are poisoned, inject antidote, but do not take off the blindfold at any time , don’t run around..."
"Yeah, I got it."
Leina felt that Su Lun's voice was getting colder and colder. Just hearing the voice made her feel a surge of murderous intent.
Su Lun let go of her hand, and Reina felt as if she had fallen into an endless abyss, and a strong sense of fear instantly enveloped her heart. The world in front of me was dark, and no one spoke in my ears. The sound of gurgling sewage was particularly clear...
She felt that a "person" was staying beside her, but her intuition told her that it seemed that it was no longer Mr. Su Lun, and it was strange and terrifying.
.......
Not long after, a figure walked in quietly from the tunnel where the two came from, just as Su Lun expected.
The two figures he saw in the distance stopped cautiously.
The gun in his hand was slowly raised and aimed at one of the two people.
He did not shoot, but directly revealed his position and shouted: "Miss Lena, where are you..."
Daniel knew very well that even if he didn't speak, the small mechanism triggered at the entrance of the tunnel had exposed his existence.
At this time, Reina was also shocked when she heard Daniel's voice.
Sure enough, Mr. Su Lun guessed everything.
She took a breath, although she couldn't see it, but in order not to reveal any flaws, she turned around in surprise. From a distance, I shouted in the direction of the sound: "Teacher Daniel, I'm here!"
Danny probably thought that the identity of his mole had not been revealed yet, so he continued to perform, with a very anxious tone: "Oh, my God, I finally found you. You don't know when I learned that you were being chased by a monster. Kill, how anxious you are... Miss Reina, did Assistant Rosa save you?"
Su Lun, who was hiding in the shadows, heard the temptation and sneered in his eyes, "You know clearly that your opponent is far inferior to you, but you are still so cautious... No wonder you can be a mole."
He should have discovered Rosa's body, but now he is pretending not to know.
The purpose is to say these few words to close the distance so that I can kill him with one blow!
Hearing this, Reina said directly: "No, Teacher Rosa died trying to save me. It was Mr. Guide who saved me."
But before she could finish her words, she suddenly heard a "bang" gunshot. Almost at the same time, a strong wind blew her hair, which was the feeling of a bullet passing by her ears.
Leina was shocked. The assistant coach Daniel actually fired.
The mole!
He wants to kill me!
However, the bullet was not aimed at herself, but at Mr. Su Lun beside her!
.......
After losing her vision, Reina focused all her attention on her hearing.
Hearing the sound of the gunshot, she instinctively let out a thud in her heart, secretly shouting that something was wrong.
Although she was shocked that her beloved teacher Daniel was really the mole in this assassination, she was even more worried about Mr. Su Lun beside her!
However, before the worry could dissipate from her heart, within an extremely short time, Reina heard the second gunshot.
"Bang"!
But this shot was not fired by Daniel, nor was it fired by "Suellen" beside her. The direction the sound was heard came from another direction in the darkness.
Is there a third person here?
Leina was pleasantly surprised and also discovered something unusual. That was when "Mr. Su Lun" beside her was shot, he made a crisp sound like wood splintering.
No, the moment she heard the gunfire and reacted, sawdust fragments had already hit her.
Puppet?
Although Leina couldn't see it, she could guess what it was and felt inexplicably excited and surprised!
Mr. Su Lun actually guessed that the enemy would shoot at him, a puppet substitute arranged in advance?
.......
Su Lun had guessed that the killer would come after him when he rescued people before, and he never got lucky.
Although those extremely corrosive amoebas have completely corroded Reina's belongings, as long as there are people who are proficient in tracing traces, the subtle traces left by the two in the corridor cannot be hidden.
And coincidentally, this Daniel is a silver professional who is very good at trace tracking-"Ranger"!
So, when the information was stripped from the memory of Rosa's body, Suellen knew that this guy would definitely come.
He is certain of one thing, that is, Reina will not die, and everything he, the mole, does is meaningless.
And Ren wanted to trick this guy, so he didn't choose to leave Reina alone as bait.
After all, only one person appears among the traces of two people. This will definitely arouse the vigilance of Daniel, the "ranger", and the ambush will be meaningless.
The puppet left beside Rena was naturally meant to attract firepower.
As for why Su Lun was sure that Daniel would shoot "him" first instead of killing Reina first, he was 80% sure.
Two people, a cautious "gun expert" will first kill the student who knows everything and can kill at will, or will he kill a stranger with unknown origins?
Of course, there is also an element of gambling.
But there is no risk, what is it called bait?
But no matter who Daniel shoots first, the result is the same.
Whoever shoots first will reveal his position and lose the opportunity.
.......
In duels between masters, the skills and experience are almost the same, and the winner is often determined by the details.
Suellena also learned from her mouth that Daniel was a genuine "gun expert" and one of the gunmanship instructors at Black Tower Academy.
He didn't dare to underestimate him.
This is not a parallel import expert like Jack before, but a gunner who may be stronger than himself.
Facing gunners of the same level, it depends on who has the upper hand. The victory or defeat is often decided in an instant.
When Daniel asked just now, he actually wanted to paralyze the opponent, look for opportunities and distance, and ensure that he would kill with one shot.
Not even Su Lun could find any flaws in this cautious response.
But the guy never expected that he would shoot the stand-in puppet.
If one shot fails, then...this is Su Lun's chance!
The moment he saw the fire light up, Su Lun drew his gun and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang~"
Tongues of fire spit out.
An armor-piercing alchemy bullet was ejected from the muzzle of the gun. It did not hit the head or the heart. The first shot hit Daniel's right hand holding the gun.
Because Su Lun knew that with the combat uniform and gas mask, this shot would definitely not kill that guy.
The Black Tower's battle suit has special reinforcements in the fatal parts. As long as there is enough energy, even alchemy bullets may not be able to break it. However, this kind of clothing protection is not without its shortcomings. In order to ensure flexibility, the stability of the joints will be relatively weak.
The palm of the hand is the place with the most joints in the human body. (The information also came from Lena)
The armor-piercing bullet is not fatal, but it is enough to break the bones of the hand.
With this gunshot, Daniel's musket not far away was immediately released, and a cloud of blood mist exploded, revealing bones.
But even though he was shot, this guy just didn't make a sound, dodged and hid behind a stone pillar.
Because Daniel had already determined from the timing of shooting that Su Lun was also a "gun expert"!
He knew very well that if he didn't leave, the second shot would definitely follow.
.......
"What a cautious guy!"
Su Lun fired a shot and broke the opponent's right hand, and the enemy did not give him a chance to hit the second shot.
Gunners of the same rank know exactly what the opponent will do.
To be a teaching assistant at Black Tower College, even if you are at the first level, you must be the best among the same level. Daniel and Rosa are almost half-step second-level existences, and each has very strong fighting methods.
Su Lun knew that since the guy broke his hand, he didn't lose much of his true combat effectiveness.
Because... what Daniel is really strong at is his melee ability!
At this moment, a violent "chirp" was suddenly heard in the darkness, like a high-pressure gas tank exploding instantly, causing a wave of air that shook the entire space.
"Coming!"
Su Lun's pupils shrank suddenly, and suddenly a figure he was looking at hit him like a cannonball.
The speed was so fast that it gave no one any time to react. It directly broke the cement pillar and then hit Su Lun's body.
The muscles had no time to react, but Su Lun Su Lun was already prepared. But when he curled his fingers, the steel wire on the mechanical glove pulled his body and moved him sideways by a body position.
With a "boom" sound, an invisible shadow flashed past.
The two hugging figures crashed directly into the far wall, instantly creating a large spiderweb-like crack.
Such a brutal impact is enough to smash a flesh-type professional into pieces!
Daniel just thought he had succeeded, but suddenly he felt that the texture of the "person" he was holding in his arms was not right, and when he took a closer look, it turned out to be a life-size doll.
"Not good!"
Daniel's face changed suddenly, and he understood something instantly: the other party knew his equipment and talents very well!
"That guy is actually a puppet master?!"
But by this time I understood that it was already too late.
This misjudgment is fatal.
...........
Just a few meters away from the smashed stone pillar, the musket was already aimed at Daniel again.
Su Lun knew that the "ranger" profession had a strong sense of perception, so he deliberately made noises to lure the opponent to seize the opportunity and rush forward.
This is the advantage of information asymmetry.
Suellen knew almost everything about Daniel's abilities, but the enemy knew nothing about him.
If we really want to fight fairly, Su Lun's chance of winning will not exceed 20%!
This guy is a "new school" alchemist. His alchemy equipment is a black technology product that combines steam machinery and traditional equipment - [Resentful Skeleton Jet].
After accumulating steam, it will explode in an instant to produce super thrust like a jet aircraft. This thrust can make people move as fast as a cannonball, and its straight-line lethality is extremely strong, making it almost difficult for professionals of the same level to avoid it.
This ability alone is not too difficult...
The most important thing is that this implant fits his talent very well!
Although his talent is not a rare B-level, it is also a mysterious ability that is extremely powerful in actual combat - [Talent C-001 - Demon Banner].
A strange talent that can instantly block the energy flow of the opponent's body by touching the enemy with both hands at close range.
As long as his hand touches it, dark spiritual power, strength, magic power, and even blood flow... will be instantly blocked or slowed down.
This equipment plus talent is simply a nightmare for melee combat.
Coupled with high-speed collision and close-fitting magic ban, even a level one higher professional will suffer a big loss!
This is also one of the most important reasons why Su Lun's first shot was to destroy one of his hands!
...........
Daniel's face was ashen, and he couldn't stop laughing in his heart: "He actually used Miss Reina as bait, haha... What a powerful plan."
At the last moment of his life, he realized that every step of his attack was planned by the enemy. From entering this space, to shooting, to collision...the opponent calculated every move he made.
The key point is that he never expected that someone would dare to use the eldest lady of the "Reis Family" as a bait!
However, it is too late to wake up now.
In a duel between experts, one mistake may still have a chance to come back, but consecutive mistakes are almost a dead end.
The inertia of the collision has not disappeared, and there is no time to avoid it. Su Lun's rune gun has already spit out tongues of fire.
One shot hit his intact left palm, destroying the most threatening hands. Then several more shots were fired at the ankle joint, knee joint, shoulder joint, elbow joint...
Bang, bang, bang, bang...
The sound of gunfire is endless.
If one shot doesn't work, then shoot two shots at the same position.
At such a close distance, Su Lun had no chance of missing his shot.
Even a combat suit could not absorb such terrifying continuous impact energy, and blood holes were punched out one by one.
This Daniel has already lost his life because of two mistakes in meeting each other.
The enemy had been beaten to a **** sieve, but at this time, Su Lun's face did not feel relaxed at all. Instead, his pupils shrank suddenly.
A murderous intention has quietly arrived, making people's hair stand on end.
When he shot Daniel, in the darkness behind him, a figure as transparent as jelly staggered for some reason and suddenly made a movement.
Su Lun narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was not surprised at all, and said to himself: "Sure enough, the stalker is here..."
At this moment, he gave up the musket, flexed his fingers suddenly, and the leather jacket tore open behind him, revealing two strange dolls with blue runes shining all over their bodies.
He grabbed the void with both hands, and two puppets were floating around him like guardians. Their wooden jaw joints open and close constantly, as if they are grinning.
"Quack..."
In the dark sewer, the sound seemed particularly harsh.
At this moment, pairs of strange red eyes gradually lit up in the surrounding darkness, and those monsters also walked out of the darkness under the specific stimulation.
At this moment, the clarity in Su Lun's eyes was replaced by violence and a sinister smile: "You want to assassinate me, Jie Jie... I am the 'Puppet Master'!"
