The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo opened the metal door with the key, and walked in with Sylvia.

Because no one has used it all year round, the ground on this floor is full of dust, and there are no windows around, and the lamps hanging on the wall are still old-fashioned gas lamps, because the pipes have been closed, so they cannot be lit. The light leaking from the window at the end of the corridor is not enough to illuminate the space on this floor.

Maybe it's because of the dark surroundings, or maybe it's because the strength of the past has survived on this floor. All in all, it's just a metal door, and the temperature difference between the two sides is at least 20 to 30 degrees. It all turned into aerosol the moment it was exhaled.

"Did you feel any power?" Sylvia felt something was wrong when she felt the unusual temperature difference around her, but she didn't find any special power that could change the temperature from her surroundings, so she asked Leo road.

However, Leo also shook his head and said, "There is no supernatural power here."

In fact, before entering the door, Leo had already scanned the interior of this floor through the mental network, and he did not find any traces of supernatural power, and when he felt this weird temperature difference, he also did not find any abnormal power .

"However, the low temperature here may not be caused by supernatural power." Leo immediately changed the subject and said.

Sylvia froze for a moment, looked at Leo and waited for him to explain further.

However, Leo had no intention of explaining. Instead, he cast a psychic skill, created a sphere of psychic light beside him, and motioned for Sylvia to follow behind, then walked towards the deep corridor, where the See the room where the murderer was interrogated in the past.

That room was easy to find. The other rooms in the entire corridor were open, but only that room was closed, and there were some very complicated and mysterious patterns engraved on the door.

Leo was not in a hurry to open the door of the room, but squatted down, carefully looked at the mysterious pattern on the door, and said slowly: "This is Donia, which is somewhat similar to the Gamore language of the Velen world. It is Doni. Created by the sub-ethnic group, although this nation is a new nation, it has inherited ancient knowledge. It is said that a great sage among them created the Donian language through ancient knowledge, and planned to transfer the Donian language. The Donia tribe objected internally, and even the churches at that time opposed it. In the end, the great sage died in an assassination, and his Donia manuscripts were scattered. Except for a part of the Donia tribe, many Part of the church is also there, and the rest are lost to the people.”

"Do you know what it means?" Sylvia asked curiously.

Leo shook his head and said, "I don't know, I've only read some Donian books mixed with Donia, and I know a little bit about Donia, but I haven't done much research on it. But I can tell from the glyphs that these writings are from the hands of the Donians, not from the part held by other churches."

"Why do you say that?" Sylvia asked again.

Leo explained briefly, and said: "Because the church's Donian script has been modified, and features belonging to their respective churches have been added. These features are easy to identify, but these patterns do not have these features."

After explaining, Leo stood up and opened the door, revealing the dark room behind the door.

At the moment when the door of the room was opened, Leo and Sylvia felt a dark and obscure energy aura emanating from the room at the same time, but this energy aura was not strong, but it was enough to affect the surrounding environment. It's just that it was blocked by the power contained in the Donia script on the door, so it couldn't escape, and finally merged into this room, making this room a source of freezing, constantly blowing the cold air through the walls and floors. Send it to other surrounding rooms, making the whole floor feel like entering a cold storage room.

In the past, the power in this room might have been strong, as had the Donya text on the door, but with the erosion of the years, these powers eventually dissipated.

"This power is disgusting." Sylvia frowned, took two steps back, and said.

At the moment when she opened the door, Sylvia also felt the dark and obscure energy breath, but this energy felt like a pile of foul-smelling unknown gas to her, and the room full of this energy breath More like a cesspit.

Leo also didn't like this energy atmosphere, but he didn't feel it as strongly as Sylvia. He signaled Sylvia to stay where he was, and then entered the room alone.

This room is an interrogation room transformed from an ordinary prison cell. There is nothing worthy of attention, and because it has been cleaned before it was closed, all the traces left here when the accident happened were also erased. up.

However, the people who cleaned the room back then obviously only cleaned up all kinds of traces that were visible to the naked eye, and they seemed to have no way to clean up the things that were invisible to the naked eye. Otherwise, there would be no way to completely seal off the entire floor later. up.

When Leo couldn't find any useful information with his naked eyes, he immediately activated his spiritual vision ability. Through his spiritual vision ability, he easily discovered some interesting things.

Under his spiritual vision, the energy breath remaining here turned into wisps of purple-blue light mist. The source of these light mist is on the surrounding walls. At this moment, the walls of the room are no longer cleaned and painted. Instead of being white, it turned black, and a large amount of dry flesh and blood like creeps and moss were covered on the black walls.

If other people see this substance, they will only think that it is made of the flesh and blood of demons, and they will think that it is the embodiment of evil, but Leo is different. He happened to have seen this substance and knows its origin.

Although the environment of the subspace is difficult to breed life, because the civilization of the normal universe entered the subspace through a special method, which changed some of the existing space laws of the subspace, and the spacecraft with the ability to travel through the subspace Encountered some accidents, the life forms and species on the spacecraft were swallowed by the subspace, and then evolved some species unique to the subspace.

Creep of life is the lowest species in subspace life forms, also known as primitives, and almost all subspace areas that produce life are covered with this kind of creep, because no matter what form the subspace life forms are, In addition to preying on other subspace life forms, they also use this kind of creep as food.

For subspace creatures, this kind of life creep does not have any lethality, but for life in the normal universe, this kind of life creep can produce a kind of radiation energy, which can prompt the bottom layer of life to Gene mutation, this kind of mutation is not the kind of uncontrollable, disordered mutation, but a disordered but controllable mutation.

That is to say, almost all living organisms affected by the radiation energy of the life-creep can eventually complete the mutation, but the result of the mutation is unpredictable, that is to say, the final mutant of the same species must be two A different species, this difference is completely different from the body shape to the underlying genes.

Just now Sylvia felt so disgusted and uncomfortable with the residual energy around, because the residual energy contains the radioactive energy of the life-creep, although this level of radioactive energy is not enough to cause any harm to Leo and Silvia, However, some effects of the radioactive energy on the underlying genes also made Sylvia's dragon blood instinctively feel threatened, which is why it produced such a strong reaction.

Now these life-creeps should be dead, and the cause of death is undoubtedly long-term exposure to the environment of the normal universe, but Leo knows that the death of these life-creeps is just a self-preservation fake death, from the surrounding It can be seen from the energy reaction that these life creeps still have a little vitality, as long as they are sent back to the subspace, they should be able to recover.

Although I don't know what happened in this interrogation room back then, it is certain that the accident back then must be related to these life creeps, and these life creeps should also come from the current Belmont Manor.

At this time, Sylvia outside the door could clearly see the change of expression on Leo's face and where his gaze fell. Although she couldn't see anything unusual on the wall, she knew that Leo's spiritual vision The power of the real eye is contained in the ability, and he must have seen something that ordinary people can't see, so he asked Leo if he found anything.

Leo explained what he saw and the information about the life creep to Sylvia. After hearing this, Sylvia felt a little curious, but she didn't have any information about the transformation of life by the life creep. There are too many doubts, because there are many similar things in the abyss, so this is not something worth understanding for her.

Compared with the creep itself, she was more curious about the formation of the creep, and thus had an association, and said, "How did these life creeps come about? Could they be the missing Monte family?"

After hearing this, Leo was slightly stunned, then pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "It's possible."

Although the original cause of the subspace life creep in the universe is unrecognizable, there is a relatively accepted saying that the original life creep originated from various life forms on the spaceships that crashed in the subspace The remains, even the living body itself, now it seems that this statement is not untrue.

The disappearance of the Monte family caused quite a stir in Beruk City. Everyone thought that the disappearance of the Monte family was due to kidnapping or other accidents. Therefore, the investigation on the whereabouts of the Monte family lasted for a long time, and even several surrounding counties and cities were alarmed and cooperated with the investigation.

But in the end, not to mention the members of the Monte family, even the bodies of the members were not found, as if the family just disappeared out of thin air. It is still a mystery to know the whereabouts of the Monte family today.

Thinking about it now, if the Monte family was transformed into the life creep that Leo sees now due to some kind of ritual, and this kind of life creep would not be possible unless there was someone like Leo who had the ability to see the real eye, or someone in the In the subspace, otherwise, these life creeps would not be seen under normal circumstances, so the people who searched the Monte Manor at that time found nothing and could not find the whereabouts of the Monte family members.

As for why the people handling the case at Monte Manor were not affected at that time, it is likely that the life creep at that time did not fully grow, or even transformed into a small piece of larvae, and its own radiation was too weak to cause harm to humans. Influence.

Later, someone entered here to steal things, and was inadvertently parasitized by the life-creep that was still in the larvae, and the growth of the life-creep required a lot of life and energy, so it would affect the thinking of the parasite and let him kill people until he was killed. People who shouldn't be killed are caught.

However, at that time, the life-creep had grown to a certain level, causing some special features to appear on the parasite, and then it was discovered, and instead of being sentenced to death, it was put in prison, waiting for the Ott federal government to find him body secrets.

As a result, the secret was not found, but the life creep grew enough to emit enough radiation to cause mutations, which eventually caused mutations in the parasites, interrogators, and bystanders at that time.

Thinking of this, Leo also told Sylvia his deduction.

Sylvia thought about it again, and said, "Can the radiation that causes human mutations also exist in the larva state?"

"Yes, but not strong." Leo replied.

Sylvia asked again: "Then will the effects of that kind of radiation on people be cumulative?"

Leo hesitated for a moment, and said: "It will have an impact," and then he seemed to realize something, and said: "You mean that if our guess is correct, then something should have happened to the warden. A mutation, because before that, he had been in contact with that prisoner for a long time."

"Yes." Sylvia nodded, and then showed a puzzled look, and said, "It's just that I think the condition of the warden is normal, and there is no abnormal reaction on his body, it doesn't seem like there is a mutation. "

Leo shook and said, "No! Some mutations are recessive, and they may not necessarily show up on the outside."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly took out a test tube-like object, and then used his spiritual power to create a spiritual knife, then extended the test tube and the knife under the withered life creep, cut a piece from it, and dropped it into the test tube middle.

Sylvia on the side watched Leo's movements, because she couldn't see the life-creep, so she felt that Leo's movements were a little funny, but when the life-creep that Leo cut fell into the test tube, The invisible rune circle on the test tube was activated, and the life creep that was invisible to ordinary people also appeared in her eyes.

Sylvia asked Leo to pass the test tube and looked at it curiously. After Leo walked out of the room, according to the psychic skills he knew, he condensed into a ball of psychic flames and threw them onto the creeper on the wall. On the ground, the creep burned violently the moment it came into contact with the psionic flame, turning into ashes.
