Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 86: Defector

     Su Lun had just rushed out of the basement and arrived in the living room, and immediately felt a strange sight falling on him.

   Before changing, Su Lun might not be able to perceive the faint line of sight. But now, after harvesting Bill's perception ability, he was very sure that the peeping person was standing in the bay window behind him!

   "Someone has entered the house!"

   Su Lun's heart shuddered.

   He is also extremely decisive. After judging someone, he grabbed it with one hand and five fingers, instantly saw the two rune puppets involved in the windbreaker, and protected him by his side. And his other hand was already on the handle of the black box, and as long as he waved it, he could immediately cut a gap in space.

   Someone broke in, which confirmed that his previous guess was correct.

   This house is just a trap!

  The hunter came to check the prey himself!

   If it was the deputy dean of Heita Academy who had defected as he guessed, Su Lun knew that he had only one chance to do it.

   So he didn't even draw the gun for the first time. Once he saw someone, he had to do it before the other person could react. Even if he was betting on the possibility of being violently killed by backlash, he had to cut the guy who was secretly peeping under the knife.

   This series of actions only made a decision in an instant. Su Lun felt that he had reacted quickly enough, but I didn’t expect that the other party’s reaction was faster!

   He was twisting his body, turning around to catch the intruder, and the hand holding the black box also cut across. As long as you see people, the victory or defeat is in an instant.

   But suddenly, a strange scene appeared.

  Su Lun found that his body could not move!

   is not controlled by the mind, but the sense of imprisonment that the surrounding air seems to have become solid, making him unable to break free: "Controlling spells?"

   And at this time, the intruder behind him also made a visibly surprised whisper: "You came out alive?"

  ......

   "Top professionals..."

   Su Lun murmured in his heart listening to the voice coming from behind.

   In a flash, he relaxed.

   This strength gap is no longer a gap that can be made up desperately.

   Besides, even if he made an attack, he still didn't feel "malicious" from the person behind him.

   The opponent obviously has no intention to kill, or temporarily not.

When    was speaking, the person also slowly walked to the front of Su Lun. He first expressed his attitude: "Don't get me wrong, I have no malice towards you. Trapped you is also for your safety."

   Su Lun listened to this, and knew that the other party had seen his plan and pretended to be confused: "Since your Excellency is a high-level professional, breaking into my house, I am afraid it is not good."

   The person in front of him was wearing a black cloak, covering his face, making people see the facial features as a cloud of black mist.

   He said boastfully: "You are really alert enough. If you change to someone else, even a high-level professional. At this moment, I am afraid you are already the dead soul of the sword..."

   Su Lun narrowed his eyes slightly as he listened, without comment.

   He felt that the other party had seen what was in his box, and he felt bad in his heart.

   I thought that even if I can't die today, I'm afraid the sickle won't be able to keep it.

But the man in the cloak seemed to have completely guessed what he was thinking, and said directly: "You have [Supnos' Black Scythe of the Night] in your hand? Hey, I didn’t expect it to fall into your hands. But you can rest assured. , That kind of forbidden object is a treasure to others, but it is not very attractive to me. There are not many people who can force me to use this weapon. When I am really desperate, it is useless."

   When Su Lun heard this, the strange color in his eyes flashed away.

   But then he also tasted the subtext in the words of the man in the cloak: The whole old Ling Dun can force me to use this sickle... not many!

   can say this, how strong is this guy?

  Su Lun felt that looking at the man in the cloak, the Buddha felt more unfathomable than seeing Chuck, the boss of their cross.

   It's certainly not easy to think about the people who will be tracked by the major of Bill's "Umbrella Organization".

   However, since it's not to make money, it's not to kill you.

   What is this cloaked man doing here?

  咦... By the way!

  For that cursed space!

  ...

  Su Lun didn't speak much, he was the passive one, just listened silently, the other party would always tell his purpose.

   And at this time, he never thought that the man in the cloak didn't even mention it, but asked indifferently: "You went to the black market before, looking for a master craftsman to help you forge a special plant?"

   When Su Lun heard this, his eyes narrowed, "Your Excellency is following me?"

   His first reaction was that he was being followed.

   But I quickly recalled in my mind, but I didn't realize when I was exposed. Can't figure out the other side's purpose for a high-level professional to track him.

   "No, you misunderstood, I'm just guessing."

The man in the cloak said in a very casual tone: "I didn't follow you. It was just that I went to the'Rawson's Alchemy Shop' before, and the boss told me that someone wanted to customize a set of dark gold for the [Eight Arm Spider Spear]. Planting. I think there are not many professionals who can use that planting. It is most likely a puppet master..."

   After a pause, he looked at the two weird puppets that Su Lun was pulling in his hands, and a strange color flashed in his eyes: "Seeing that your skills in manipulating puppets are pretty good, just ask me, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence..."

   Hearing this, Su Lun also showed a sense of sorrow, and said in amazement: "Are you the ‘Master Craftsman’ in the mouth of the shop owner?"

   Tier 1 professionals, who can use that kind of complex planting puppet master, really meet this requirement.

   It’s just a coincidence that the two actually met in this way.

   But when Su Lun thought about it, he also felt that this guy was not a lie.

   "Master forging" is one of the few in the inner city, and it is almost impossible for such a big man to appear on the black market in the outer city. But if the vice president of Heita Alchemy Academy defected, the logic is also consistent!

   "Master? Isn't it..."

  The man in the cloak seemed very relaxed. At this time, he had removed the imprisonment spell on Su Lun, and asked, "Do you still need to forge your planting equipment?"

"Of course."

  Without the restraints, Su Lun only felt his body lighter, but did not move rashly, and even put the black box in his hand on the ground.

   The man in the cloak said, "We can make a deal."

  Su Lun: "I would like to hear the details."

   The visitor did not show hostility, and he also showed enough politeness.

   The man in this cloak made him feel very strange, his words were polite and he didn't feel any malice, and there was a real temperament of a noble gentleman in his whole body.

  In Su Lun's view, this kind of person who does not leak flaws is either really kind or extremely dangerous!

The man in the cloak said: "I can make plants for you for free, but in exchange, I want to know how you got out of the'cursed space' in the basement. Of course, if the value of intelligence exceeds my reward, I will pay extra. Satisfying rewards."

"Can!"

   As expected, Su Lun agreed without hesitation.

   He didn't think the other party would lie to him and say this. After all, the Dark Golden Spider Emperor's legs are rare, but they are only first-order materials, and their appeal to high-level professionals is limited.

   What's more, right now the other party said it was a transaction, and he didn't have the right to refuse it.

  ...

   "However, before the transaction, I have a doubt."

  Su Lun thought for a while, and planned to take some initiative, and then asked: "I want to know why there is a ‘cursed space’ in this house. And why you...why appeared in my house."

   The man in the cloak was not surprised that Su Lun would ask this, but he asked in a relaxed tone: "Are you sure you want to listen?"

   "???"

   Upon hearing this, Su Lun showed a puzzled expression.

   I asked, don’t want to listen?

  The man in the cloak explained: "I mean...some things, knowing it is trouble. So, do you want to get into trouble?"

   Hearing this, Su Lun frowned, thought for a moment, and said: "I can choose to listen to the part of the information that won't cause trouble?"

trouble?

   He knew very well that he had been in trouble since he discovered this cursed space.

   If this problem is not figured out, he thinks it will be more troublesome.

   He needs some necessary information to judge his future choices.

   "Hehe, interesting."

The man in the cloak chuckled and started directly: "Eight years ago, when a banker was developing this property, there was a'strange incident of missing persons'. At that time, I led the team to deal with this incident. After investigation, I discovered from ancient books that this was the site of a hospital in the last era. Then I also figured out some of the curse characteristics of this space..."

   said here, he glanced at Su Lun: "You know how to get in."

   Su Lun looked as usual when he heard this.

The cloak man said again: "Later for investigation, many people went in and failed to come out again. This ruin was listed as'T-banned'. Of course, there are also some highly confidential plots. I miss you Probably not willing to listen."

"Ok."

   Su Lun did not ask what the secret content was, but listened to him quietly.

   "As for why I came here... it's because this is a trap I set up. I sensed that someone had entered, so I came and took a look."

The man in the cloak didn't mean to conceal anything, and said bluntly: "Some things happened at the beginning, let me know that this cursed space involves a big secret. Although I destroyed the sealed file, the relevant insiders were almost dead. During the exploration, there were still some traces that could not be erased. Someone happened to be tracking me, so I used the clues left to guide the investigators to the basement of this apartment."

After a sigh of relief, he said again: "Naturally, I didn't do this to murder ordinary tenants, so I said that I have no malice against you. After all, as you know, the way this cursed space is triggered is very special. "

   As he said, he looked at Su Lun and curiously said: "So, I am also very curious, why are you involved in it?"

  Su Lun simply said: "I heard that a few people died in the house before, so I thought about it a bit, and I was involved without thinking."

   Sure enough, this trap is not aimed at ordinary tenants. If he doesn't think about it, probably no problems will arise.

   "Hehe, this can't be done by thinking about it."

The man in the cloak shook his head, with a hint of approval in his tone: "Your mind is very careful. From the moment you came out, you decisively left the apartment the first time, I know you can find that the cursed space is not a coincidence, but an ability. If you have a second-order, maybe I am interested in sharing some more interesting secrets with you. But now..."

  Su Lun felt that this guy had revealed a lot of information to himself. It seemed that he was not afraid of being guessed about his identity through this information.

  Su Lungang wondered why he would do this.

   At this time, I listened to the cloak man dismissively: "Although I don't know how you know, I feel like you have guessed who I am."

  "..."

   Su Lun heard these words, and a hard-to-detect stern expression passed across his face.

   At this moment, he finally knows where the trace of emotion that made him feel uneasy just now comes from.

   Now he is sure that this guy has "mind reading", or similar ability!

  Su Lun tried his best to restrain his emotional fluctuations to avoid being seen by others, and then simply explained: "I met "Blind Detective" Bill in the cursed space. "

   As soon as he said this, he naturally didn't need to explain in detail, the man in the cloak would fill his brains for what happened.

   The man in the cloak was not surprised, but was a little curious, "He is not dead yet?"

  Su Lun: "No, it's dead. But his soul hasn't dissipated yet."

  The man in the cloak listened, muttering to himself: "Sure enough... the same as recorded in ancient books."

   said this, he looked at Su Lun and said: "Well, I have told you what you want to know. You can sue me about what you know..."

  Su Lun is not long-winded, in front of such a powerful and wise figure, playing scheming will only look like a jumping clown.

   "After I went in, I found that it was an ancient hospital with the third floor marked. I encountered a monster... Then I discovered the ‘recreation of horror’ rules of space..."

   He roughly recounted his experience in the space, only avoiding some sensitive content.

  The man in the cloak also listened patiently and carefully.

When he heard Su Lun's "concretization of terror" rules, he also sighed, as if with emotion and approval: "You can actually find such a rule?! Tsk tsk, this can no longer be said to be ordinary meticulous thinking. Now, is your talent [B-059-Thinker]?"

   Su Lun deliberately ignored the role of [Pupil of All-Knowing] in the process of telling, which naturally sounds a bit weird.

   But he felt that telling lies would definitely be seen through by this guy, so he simply avoided the question and said, "I'm just being more cautious..."

"hehe."

  Man in the cloak naturally didn't believe it, but he didn't care about such insignificant issues.

   groaned for a moment, and then he asked: "Have you not encountered a blue-skinned ‘living corpse’?"

  Su Lun knew that this guy interrupted deliberately, just to remind himself that he was not ignorant of this cursed space.

Su Lun calmly said: "I met. The monster is fast, it easily kills Bill in the space. Because I have heard of ways to break this type of space, I chanted what I saw in an emergency. Name, and then came out..."

   "Which floor of the hospital did you meet the monster?"

   "The second floor."

   "Which room?"

   "The fifth one on the left."

   "What's the name of the dean?"

   "Tirmidor M. Chekov."

  "..."

   After asking a few questions, the cloak man fell into thinking for a long time.

   Although Su Lun couldn't see his expression, he still felt it. This guy should be satisfied with the information he gave.

  ...

   The lifeless "T-Class" cursed space has a living person for the first time, and the cloaked person feels that the harvest far exceeds his expectations.

   After pondering for a long time, he took the initiative to speak: "I'm very satisfied with your news. It even exceeds the value of me helping you refine the materials. Therefore, as agreed, I can promise to give you some extra rewards."

   After a pause, he asked Su Lun: "What do you need? Money~www.NovelMTL.com~Materials, alchemy knowledge, everything is fine."

  Su Lun said, "I didn't expect what I needed for the time being."

  The situation right now is not a good time to ask for compensation.

   And no matter what reward he gets in exchange, he feels a loss. After all, this is the top professional in Old Lingdun, or the ‘Master of Forging’, a great figure that people from outside the city have no access to.

   If there is no hostility, just cognition, the benefits are definitely not comparable to a little material.

The man in the cloak was not verbose, and said straightforwardly: "Then I owe you a favor, and you will tell me later if you need it. Give me your materials, and pick up alchemy plantings at the'Lawson's Alchemy Shop' five days later. If you think about what you need to exchange for your favor, you can also leave a message in the shop."

"good."

   The dialogue between smart people saves a lot of links.

   But Su Lun is also very curious, this guy really just asked a few questions, no other purpose?

   And the dialogue process is too random, so you are not afraid that there is a problem with the information he gets?

   At this time, the man in the cloak was about to leave and seemed to have guessed something.

He felt that since Su Lun knew his identity, there was nothing to conceal, so he directly stated the reason, saying: "My talent is [C-042-Mind Reader]. Although it is not a very strong combat talent, But fortunately, it is practical."

   Hearing this, Su Lun suddenly understood why he was talking to this guy. There was always a feeling that the other party had guessed it before he could say it.

   So I really understand "reading the mind".

   However, Su Lun felt that the [Mind Reader] ability he had in mind was not so exaggerated, after all, it was just a C-level talent.

   He vaguely guessed that this may involve a field of high-level professionals that he doesn't know...
