The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo quickly found a secret room hidden in the large garden of the inner city through the marks left on those directly subordinates of the dark lord.

This secret room is very large, almost occupying half of the underground area of ​​the big garden. Leo didn't know what it was used for before, but now this secret room is used to treat those who have gone mad because of the implant.

In the basement of the secret room lay a group of deranged people who were sent over. Without exception, their hands, feet and bodies were immobilized and unable to move. In addition, none of them had serious injuries, which allowed them to survive the pain of the operation. , As for those with serious injuries, they were all treated as casualties while on the road, and they would not be sent here.

Although the people in charge of treating these crazy people are said to be shamans, and they also have some extraordinary power aura that shamans should have, but the way they treat these wounded people is more like a doctor.

While not administering any anesthesia or other drugs to the madman, they controlled a special plant to penetrate into the madman's body, continuously stimulating the madman's implant to continue to mutate, and then through the craniotomy tools used by some doctors, For example, a hand-cranked hole opener or the like, opening a hole with the madman's head facing the position of the implant, and finding a chance for the implant to escape from the madman's brain during the rapid mutation of the implant. The implants are removed, and then the dug-out skull is replaced and allowed to heal.

There is no anesthesia during the entire operation, and the demented person needs to be exposed to prolonged stimulation. Even if the implant is successfully removed, the deranged person needs to rely on luck so that there will be no postoperative complications.

Therefore, although a large number of able-bodied deranged people were sent here for treatment, not many of them were able to be carried out alive in the end, and most of them either died during the treatment process or died of surgery. Afterwards, complications were caused, and many of them were unable to bear the operation process and the subsequent physical pain. At the moment when the restraints were released, they chose to commit suicide.

As for how many of these madmen can be cured in the end, those shamans who were recruited by the dark lords don't care, and even the people assigned here by the dark lords are no longer there. Excavated implants.

The moment those implants were dug out, they were immediately put into a special metal box, engraved with a large number of mysterious symbols on the box, these symbols generated some power, so that the implants in the box in a dormant state.

After each of the excavated implants was meticulously sealed, and a certain amount was assembled, a team composed entirely of extraordinary people was sent out of the treatment chamber, out of the large garden, along the , and there are a large number of city guard soldiers patrolling the team, all the way to the torch in the center of the city.

The Torch Building is the tallest building in Hongtu City, with a total height of thirty-three floors. Among the many cities in the Old Continent, the height of this building can also be ranked among the top ten.

The architect who designed and supervised the construction of this building was Guy Albert, a very famous architect in the Old Continent at that time. Nine out of ten great buildings that can be named in the entire Old Continent were created by him. He is good at religious buildings and rarely designs civil buildings, so at that time, no one knew why this master architect built such a 33-story building for the lawless place of Hongtu City.

What's interesting is that when this building was first built, it was not used to live in people, but to tell the time, because the staff in the building would light the torches on different floors at different times every day. Due to the high height of the building, the entire inner city It can be seen from all over the district, so some people at that time called it the Time Telling Building.

Later, the expansion of Hongtu City separated the two large urban areas inside and outside, and separated them with walls of different heights, which greatly weakened the time-telling effect of the building. In the end, only the perennial brazier at the top of the building remained. The function was canceled, and the building was transformed into rooms one by one, becoming a large hotel.

The ownership of the Torch Building has changed hands several times. Now the owner of the Torch Building is Roland Sangers, a big smuggler in Hongtu City. The most, naturally his men are also the most.

However, such a big man who could make Hongtu City shake at any movement died on the belly of his mistress, and what is even more strange is that according to the time of death, he died not long after he climbed into his mistress's bed , but his mistress said that he still had a long affair with her, and it didn't end until midnight.

Although the room where he and his mistress lived was not the top floor of the Torch Building, it was at least twenty-seven floors high. The windows were all polished with crystal and could not be opened and closed. The walls were not ordinary walls, they were all thickened with steel plates. There were more than a dozen protectors outside the room, including several superhumans. Logically speaking, it was absolutely impossible for him to be assassinated, but in fact he was indeed assassinated.

Some people also suspected that it was the hand of the mistress, because only the mistress had the chance to kill Roland Sangers, but this statement was quickly refuted, because the mistress was just an ordinary person, and Roland Sangers was He is a real extraordinary person, and an experienced veteran soldier, not to mention the mistress whose strength is not as good as ordinary people. He didn't even have time to cry for help.

And in the end, the reason why people dispel that the mistress is not the killer is that someone is willing to guaranty for her, and this guarantor turned out to be the wife of Roland Sangers.

It is impossible to find out the cause of Roland Sangers' death in a short period of time, and no one is willing or has the time to pursue it, because the great turmoil broke out in the inner city and spread to all forces.

In this case, Linda Sangers, the wife of Roland Sangers, quelled the disputes within her own forces very well, and won two-thirds of the powers that Roland Sangers previously controlled. Supported by others, he accepted most of her husband's business, and also played a role in stabilizing the situation during the turmoil, protecting many ordinary people who were affected by the turmoil and lived in the inner city in the Torch Building.

Although the turmoil in Red Earth City is not over yet, anyone with a little brain knows that Linda Sangers will definitely become one of the giants in Red Earth City. Some people even speculate that Linda Sangers has won A dark chair.

If it was just a rumor that Linda Sanjes had become one of the Dark Lords before, then most people in the inner city no longer think it is a rumor, because now the people who belong to the Dark Lords are gone. Using the Torch Building as a base, they came in and out without shyness, and some people even saw Linda Sanjes directing these people to do things.

The implants that were taken and sealed from those crazy people were also sent to the torch building immediately, and after being handed over to the people in the building, they were sent directly to the top floor by the people in the building.

At this moment, the top floor of the building has been transformed into storage rooms, all of which are stored implants, and the staff of the building are recording the number and status of each implant in an orderly manner, As the current nominal resident of the building, Linda Sanjes, sat on the sidelines doing nothing. She didn't look like a commander, but more like a bystander, and what was more interesting was sitting beside her. It happened to be the mistress of her dead husband. Judging from some actions of the two, their relationship was very unusual.

After counting the latest batch of implants into the warehouse, the supervisor in charge of the warehouse walked up to Linda Sanjies and comforted in a low voice: "Please don't worry, we are just borrowing your building, wait As soon as this unrest subsides, things will be removed from here."

"I would like to know what you plan to do with me after the turmoil subsides." Linda Sanjes asked with a hint of worry in her tone, although her expression was very calm.

While she was asking, the mistress sitting on the side could not help but hold her hand tightly.

The other party smiled and said: "You are the widow of Roland Sangers, and you are also the heir to all his property, and the agreement that Roland Sangers made with us is also inherited by you, so what it was before is still the same now. What it is like, apart from changing a partner, nothing will change."

Linda Sanjes did not breathe a sigh of relief, but continued to ask: "Even if I planned to kill Roland, it doesn't matter if his death almost caused your plan to go wrong?"

"Mr. Roland's death didn't affect our plan. On the contrary... Hehe, there are some things you don't need to know. Besides, you don't have to worry about how Mr. Roland died. For us, Mr. Roland's death and Life is insignificant." The other party didn't finish speaking, smiled, and gave Linda Sanjes a reassuring answer, saying: "We are more concerned about the follow-up cooperation and whether the task we entrusted to you can be successful. Finish."

"Which commission are you talking about?" Linda Sanjes frowned, and said, "All the commissions have been handled by Roland himself, and I can't get involved at all. Now let me complete it." I am afraid……"

The other party smiled and said: "Don't worry, as long as the situation stabilizes, someone will be sent to take the initiative to relieve you. At that time, you only need to operate the matter in the normal way, and there is no need for extra actions until we need When you were doing it, you were doing what we told you, you see, isn't this a very simple thing?"

Linda Sanjes didn't ask any more questions. She knew very well that if she continued to ask, it would be detrimental to her current situation. She just needs to be an honest collaborator now, and the rest will wait until she really masters it. Let's talk about the troops and forces left behind by the dead ghost husband.

At the same time, the few people who were talking didn't realize that on the roof of the upper floor, Leo was spying on their every move through the spiritual network, and also heard the content of their conversation.

From the simple conversations of these people, Leo confirmed at least a few things. First of all, that Roland Sangers is definitely not one of the dark masters, and his power is not as powerful as the outside rumors. At least in terms of smuggling, he It should be just pretending to be a tiger, and the person who really controls the smuggling caravan should be one of the dark masters of Hongtu City.

In addition, Leo realized that he had fallen into a misunderstanding because of various rumors about Hongtu City itself, that is, the dark master of Hongtu City must be a local force in Hongtu City, but now the person downstairs who is in charge of sorting out the implants But it made him understand that the Dark Lord of Hongtu City can also be a non-Hongtu City force, and they can completely control Hongtu City through other means.

If you think about it this way, Kit, who was assassinated the first time, might not be the Dark Lord of Red Earth City, he should also be a puppet pushed to the front of the stage, and the real Dark Lord of Red Earth City is most likely Barbarisa.

This changed Leo's view of Barbarisa, because in his mind before, Barbarisa was a powerful person who didn't like to provoke disputes and liked to live a leisurely life, but now it seems that Barbarisa's lazy and laid-back attitude Under his appearance and behavior, I am afraid that there is still a ready ambition hidden, otherwise, he could not have laid out the layout of Hongtu City a long time ago.

At least in Leo's view, Barbarisa had already begun to intervene in the power of Hongtu City before Kit's blacksmith shop emerged in Hongtu City, and he might even have become one of the dark lords of Hongtu City at that time.

And the last thing that Leo was sure of was that the Transcendence Organization must also be one of the Dark Lords of Red Earth City, because the person who talked to Linda Sanjes just now was a member of that organization, and he was probably a member of the Inner Ring. member, because implants were implanted in his body, but the implants on his body are very different from those sealed implants, and his implants are closer to Barbarisa's At this stage, the implant has perfectly integrated with him, and there are no side effects.

Undoubtedly, judging from the various information obtained now, this detachment organization should have also participated in creating the turmoil in Hongtu City. Its purpose should be the same as that of the Justice Church to observe the condition of the implant, but they hide Behind the scenes, the Archbishop who led the Justice Church jumped out to complete the experiment for them, and even the final product of the experiment was taken by them. I have to say that the Justice Church’s loss this time is probably not small. No wonder that The Archbishop wanted to cover up the loss by completely destroying Hongtu City.

However, this also made Leo feel more and more doubts. Barbarisa, the Transcendence Organization, and the Church of Justice seem to be planning something in this red earth city. These are just a few people and forces that have been exposed. There are other dark lords who are still hiding now, and those dark lords who can sit on an equal footing with Barbarisa and the others obviously should not be weak. So many powerful forces are staring at the Red Earth City, which makes him wonder whether the Red Earth City is There was something magical that he hadn't discovered, otherwise it would be hard to explain why these people were staring at Hongtu City.
