The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"What are you doing?" Solander asked loudly when he saw that the man who looked like a real estate agent was taking out his key, tearing off the yellowed seal on the door, and preparing to enter the villa.

Solander's questioning made the house agent stop what he was doing. He turned his head and looked at Solander with some doubts, not understanding why the other party appeared here.

Solander stepped forward quickly, and said with a serious face: "This is the scene of the case taken over by the Municipal Police Department. A seal has been set up, and it is not allowed..."

The house agent interrupted Solander, and said calmly: "Madam, you are wrong. It has been a few years ago that this place was used as the scene of the case. Three years ago, the city government entrusted the Monte Manor to Our company sells, so this is private property, and you are now illegally entering someone else's private property."

"The city government entrusted the auction of the manor?" Solander showed a little bewildered, and then questioned: "I haven't seen any relevant documents related to this in the file. Can you show the documents authorized by the government?"

"Of course, our Wade Real Estate is a formal company, and the procedures are very complete." When the real estate agent said this, he couldn't help but look at the couple on the side, as if he was worried about what they would do to himself and his company because of this incident. He had a bad impression, and then he looked at Solander with displeasure, and asked, "I can show my documents, but ma'am, in what capacity are you asking me to show my documents? It's impossible If I meet someone on the road and ask me to show the document, I will do it!"

"I'm Exploring Rand, the criminal investigation officer of the Municipal Police Department, number 99875, here is my ID and police badge." Solander took out his ID from his pocket and showed it to the other party, and then opened his clothes a little The hem of the shirt, revealing the police badge hanging on the belt, said: "Now I have taken over the disappearance case of the Monte family. This house is an important case scene. I need to enter and check it. Before I check it clearly, this house cannot sell."

"Criminal detective?" When Solander revealed his identity, the real estate agent was completely stunned. It wasn't because he had never seen a criminal detective, but because he had never seen a female criminal detective, which made him suspicious. the authenticity of the other party’s words.

However, he quickly dispelled the suspicion in his heart, because he remembered that when he was chatting with his colleagues before, he seemed to have heard a rumor that the city police station had an extra female criminal detective. It was a joke, but I didn't expect to meet this female police detective today, and she became a part of the joke.

"Even if the criminal police handle the case, it can't affect my work." The house agent also took out the documents related to the Monte Manor from his purse, handed them to Solander, and said, "The case of the Monte family was already closed a few years ago." It was revoked, and the items related to the Monte family have been disposed of, but the case documents have not been cleaned up. Although you have the right to handle the case independently, you cannot reopen the case without the consent of the city court, so this house is not Not your case scene."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head cautiously to look at the client behind him, seeing that there was no displeasure on his face, he was slightly relieved.

The Monte Manor had fallen into his hands a few years ago. Originally, he thought that such a large and well-located manor would definitely be sold quickly and become part of his performance, but he didn't expect that even after the case of the Monte family passed Many people still remember it over the years, especially those rich and powerful who can afford the manor, which also makes this real estate under his hands and cannot be released, which has become his biggest heart disease in the past few years. If he didn't sell it every day, he has to pay a certain listing fee every year, which is not a small sum.

Now, with great difficulty, two outsiders who don't know anything about the Monte family case plan to buy the Monte manor. This is like a life-saving straw for him, and he will not let anyone break the deal no matter what.

Even now, he has some suspicions that this female criminal policeman was recruited by his competitor, intending to deliberately prevent him from completing the deal and let him be dragged to death by Monte Manor.

Solander looked carefully at the documents in her hand, and she found that, just as the real estate agent said, the other party's procedures are extremely complete, and the case of the Monte family has indeed been withdrawn, and now this house is no longer the scene of the case , just a property for sale.

In addition to being annoyed, Solander did not intend to give up just like this. She handed the things back to the other party, and then said with a serious expression: "Your procedures are fine, but I don't intend to give up this case, and I don't think you will either." I hope that there will be some accidents in the transaction of the manor, so we'd better cooperate."

"Cooperation? How to cooperate?" the real estate agent frowned and said.

Solander suggested: "I just need to go into the villa and check to see if I can find some clues that were not found back then. If not, it means that there is nothing wrong with this villa, and your customers can rest assured when buying it." .”

The real estate agent was obviously unwilling to agree to this proposal, shook his head, and said, "I don't think you need to prove this villa..."

"Wait a minute." At this time, the husband of the couple who had been standing by the side suddenly said, "Detective Solander, can you tell me about the case related to this manor? The case of the Monte family."

"Mr. Leo, this..." Seeing his client asking this question, the real estate agent felt bad and wanted to stop him.

The other party interrupted the real estate agent and said: "Mr. Bright, don't worry, I have already taken a fancy to this manor and I will not change my mind. I just want to know more about things related to this manor. This will not affect you. My deal." As he spoke, he turned to look at his partner beside him, and said, "Xini, what do you think?"

The woman slightly raised her head with a big brim hat, revealing an extremely beautiful face, looked down at the real estate agent, and said: "If you are still worried, we can sign the pre-sale contract first, if we go back on the way , the pre-sale money will be paid to you as compensation."

"No need, no need!" The real estate agent quickly shook his head and said, "Mr. Leo and Ms. Sylvia are both distinguished guests of the National Bank. Your reputation is beyond doubt, and there is no need to sign any pre-sale contract."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Solander, and motioned for the other party to follow the request of the two distinguished guests to tell about the disappearance of the Monte family.

Seeing this situation, Solander also knew that this was her only chance, so she told some things that could be made public related to the disappearance of the Monte family.

The couple listened carefully, and looked at each other from time to time, as if they were exchanging opinions in some unknown way.

These two people are Leo and Sylvia, and the world they are in now is the world leading to the space rift contained in the tower wizard book, a world that makes them regret the moment they arrive , It’s just that it’s useless to regret now, because the book was destroyed the moment they came over, and the space rift that returned to Velen’s world was also assimilated by this world.

Although before coming to this world, Leo has already tested the situation of this world through various methods, such as using a special rune circle to check the energy data related to the extraordinary power in this world, or using a general-purpose recorder to search the world Although the various data collected show that there is a huge gap between this world and the Vinylon world, it is also certain that this world is suitable for human survival.

However, when the two entered this world, they discovered that the situation in this world was worse than they expected.

The first is the environment. The environment in this world is very bad. Apart from the extremely turbid air, the sky is always covered with dark clouds, and the raindrops full of black dust fall from time to time. In the closed factory area of ​​various smelting factories.

There is also a strange fishy smell in the air, like a rotten dead fish. The smell itself is not strong, and ordinary people can't smell it basically, but Leo and Silvia's The sense of smell is very sensitive, and they can smell this stench all the time, so they have to find a way to block this smell.

In addition, the surrounding vegetation grew very badly, and did not give Leo any sense of vitality. Almost all the leaves and branches of the plants were drooping and drooping, as if they would die at any time.

Such a bad environment made the two feel very uncomfortable, and the greater discomfort was the energy of the whole world.

Just like its turbid air, the energies of this world are also turbid and chaotic, and when these energies are intertwined with each other, they also produce a very slight but powerful radiation. When Leo and Sylvia were on the body, the power in their bodies was suppressed several times. That is to say, when Leo, a seventh-level psychic, could only use a fifth-level psychic ability at most the energy of the person.

However, this is a good thing for Sylvia. Although the power is suppressed, the quality of the power has not been reduced. That is to say, when Sylvia is promoted to a demigod, the energy burst encountered will be much weaker. The backlash effect will be much smaller, and the dangers that may be encountered when breaking through will naturally be reduced accordingly.

The suppression of one's own energy is only a trouble caused by the energy structure of this world. The other biggest trouble is that most of the external spells and witch powers used by Leo and Sylvia are out of order. Transformation, it is clear that the spirit net skill is released, but through the transformation of the world's chaotic energy, it may become a spiritual impact skill, and what is even more troublesome is that this disorder is not fixed, that is, every time the spirit After using the net skills, you get different effects.

In addition, those spells and psionic skills used in one's own body will not be affected by the chaotic energy structure of this world, such as the use of spiritual vision skills, they can be used intact. The abyssal power from the chaotic environment will also not be affected, which is considered luck among misfortunes for both Leo and Sylvia.

However, these problems encountered are only small problems, as long as you endure a little bit, you can survive. The real big problem is that this world is full of all kinds of chaotic powers, which is why the energy structure of this world is so chaotic. s reason.

Although all divine power is chaotic and disorderly, it is different from the chaotic and disordered energy of abyssal creatures. If the chaotic and disordered power of abyssal creatures is like a volcano that is constantly erupting, it is so active that it wants to tear it apart. If the world is broken, then the chaotic powers of this world are like a bottomless stagnant water, swallowing everything bit by bit.

Leo doesn't know which kind of power is more dangerous, but he can tell which kind of power makes him feel terrible. He once tried to activate the power of the eye of truth in the spiritual vision to peek at the mysteries of the divine power in this world, but he almost aroused At the moment of his spiritual vision, he turned off his spiritual vision, because he felt an unprecedented threat, as if as long as he looked at those divine powers more, even if he got a glimpse of the secret of divine power, he would suffer an extremely terrible blow.

If there was only one person here, Leo might try to take a peek, and test the power of the gods in this world by the way, but now he has Sylvia by his side, if he encounters a backlash, he may be fine, but Sylvia There is a possibility of injury.

After a little understanding of the situation in this world, the two each used their own methods to adjust their bodies and adapt to this world. Because they had the experience of traveling to other worlds before, this adjustment did not take them too much time.

After the two adjusted their bodies, they began to look for traces of civilization in this world.

The location where the two appeared was right in the middle of a swamp, surrounded by thick fog. Ordinary people fall into this kind of place and can only wait for the fog to pass before leaving. Otherwise, people who are not familiar with the environment can easily fall into a dangerous quagmire. middle.

But neither Leo nor Sylvia planned to stay in this wet swamp any longer. They found a direction casually, and then walked straight forward. Even if they encountered a quagmire, they used some simple strength to Walking over the mire, they soon walked out of the swamp.

Almost after walking out of the swamp, a railway track representing a very high civilization appeared in front of the two of them.

The two headed in one direction along the track, and after walking about 20 kilometers, a small town in the mountains appeared in front of their eyes, and they also entered the small town after nightfall , and began to formally contact people in this world.
