Mechanical Alchemist

　　　　 Although I don't know if that "sir" is really interested in accepting a commission to forge spider planting, at least it is certain that there is such a master in the outer city.

　　Su Lun also felt a little bit emotional. The black market is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.

　　 As for the identity of the mysterious Mr., he speculated that 80% of them came from the inner city.

　　 After all, combat professionals can still gain advanced understanding by fighting, but such a profession that requires a huge amount of professional knowledge to accumulate must only be cultivated in a place with a complete heritage like the inner city. For example, the Black Tower Alchemy Academy, or large organizations such as the "Alchemy Guild"...

　　 Su Lun guessed that he was probably another powerful figure with a dark background.

　　 But it's better for him, and it's not visible, which means that the farther the inner city is, the safer the dealings.

　　......

　　 It was early when Su Lun came out of the black market. He rode a motorcycle back to Green Street and plunged into the arena.

　　 There have been professional death fights recently, and he just came back to catch up with the next few final matches.

　　 Harvested a wave of corpse experience, during which he went to solve several fights with Kay and the others, and the whole night passed.

　　 Early in the morning, Su Lun rode a motorcycle to Ginkgo Street.

　　 He went to buy bread and settled the breakfast. Suddenly, he thought of something and posted a note behind the mailbox at the entrance of Bellman's Bread at No.14 Ginkgo Street.

　　Su Lun wanted to contact the mysterious pharmacist and buy some special potions. The [Aberrant Monster Abatement Potion] that saved Reina last time was very useful to him.

　　 some more, maybe you can use it in the future.

　　 After leaving the note, Su Lun didn't go far, looking at the person near the mailbox from a distance.

　　Sure enough, a half-sized child appeared in a short time. He found the note behind the mailbox, and after looking around, he tore it away.

　　 Su Lun bit the bread in his hand, suddenly became interested, and followed.

　　 Although the half-year-old child looked back cautiously many times, he also rushed into the unmanned alley several times, with a certain anti-tracking consciousness. But Sulun's [Advanced Tracking Skills] and the steel cable in the mechanical gloves made him easily follow.

　　 Finally, the half-sized boy came back and appeared in Camellia Street, four blocks away from Ginkgo Street.

　　 This is a civilian neighborhood in the outer city. The streets are full of dilapidated gray buildings, as well as "iron box houses" stacked with containers and steel frames.

　　 Su Lun leaned on the roof of a small three-story building with dark red tiles, and calmly watched the half-size boy who had taken the note rushed into an alley, where he met several accomplices.

　　 In the alley where the sewage flows, a pale corpse that has not known how long it has been dead is lying in the garbage dump. More than a dozen large gray mice are lying on the corpse and gnawing, making "chichichichi". They are not afraid of people, and stare at a few humans at the entrance of the alley while eating.

　　 "Hey, Luke, shouldn't you go'work' on Ginkgo Avenue today? Why are you back?"

　　 "Don't block me, I have Brother Danny's mission. I got the letter!"

　　 "Oh~Is someone going to buy the medicine? I really hope that the customer will buy more so that we will have the money to buy bread."

　　 "Betta, don't say anything like this anymore. That will make Big Brother Danny embarrassed..."

　　"..."

　　 After listening to the conversations of several people, Su Lun probably knew the name of the pharmacist.

　　 The half-sized boy rushed into a dilapidated and rotten building and did not come out again.

　　Su Lun didn't follow him anymore. He didn't mean to follow him on a whim, he was just curious.

　　 Then I was afraid that the line would be broken.

　　 found the place, and returned the same way.

　　...

　　Not long after, Su Lun returned to No. 88 Ginkgo Street and hired someone to move a few large boxes into the small building.

　　 No one noticed that there was a box like a cello bag in the pile of salutes, which contained a large black sickle.

　　 "The Haunted House" moved in to a new tenant, probably because he felt bad luck, and there was no neighbor to say hello.

　　Su Lun is also happy to see it here.

　　 After the porter left, he carefully inspected the entire house for the third time and found no abnormalities. Then some small warning devices were set up on the window sills, the roof and each door, and all the curtains were closed.

　　 After doing all this, he plunged into the basement.

　　 He installed several gun targets on the wall of the basement, and also removed all the sandbags and equipment used for training.

　　 is arranged a bit, and the training room is a bit interesting.

　　 The rent has been paid in advance for half a year, and this small building will be his residence for a long time in the future.

　　Su Lun knew that although he had the talent of [Death Reaper], his skills and knowledge in all aspects had improved tremendously. But the shortcoming is also obvious, that is, talent has almost no increase in the physical body.

　　 If he wants his body to adapt to the explosive skills in his brain, he has to practice hard by himself.

　　 However, there are a lot of black technologies in this world, and body strengthening is close to go.

　　In a few large boxes, there is a "steam energy ultra-low temperature physiotherapy" that helps muscles recover quickly, and a "neuromuscular bioelectric stimulator" that can accelerate muscle growth...

　　 This is a good thing I found in the black market machine shop.

　　 These iron bumps were sold out of the abandoned armory in the inner city and sold to the black market, probably with the intention of dismantling the parts and using them for other purposes.

　　 After all, few people in the outer city knew what these instruments were for.

　　 After stripping the memory of Heta Academy's assistant teacher in the cave, Sulun knew that these instruments were "military-grade instruments" used by newcomers in the training department of large-scale inner city organizations.

　　 Although the model of the instrument is a bit older, it is indeed a good baby that assists in body strengthening.

　　 The two instruments are used, which can increase the efficiency of physical training by several times.

　　Su Lun fiddled with the instrument, and it worked normally, so he didn't care about it any more.

　　...

　　 After simply setting up the basement, Su Lun walked to the corner and took out the black sickle.

　　 Such a powerful weapon, if it is just a gambling thing with the enemy, he thinks it is a bit wasteful.

　　 He wants to try, if there are other ways to avoid the curse on the sickle.

　　As a puppeteer, his first reaction is to use a puppet.

　　 Then, he also really manipulated the puppet to hold a sickle, and cut a small spatial crack toward the wall.

　　 didn't dare to scratch too much, just as long as the nail cover.

　　 in order to avoid backlash will die suddenly on the spot.

　　 An hour later, Su Lun, who took off his clothes and stood in front of the mirror to give him first aid, suddenly felt cold in his butt, and a **** arrow shot out.

　　 Very embarrassing part, but fortunately there is no danger.

"no surprise..."

　　 Su Lun sighed slightly, took the medicine powder and sprinkled it on the wound on his butt.

　　 Unexpectedly, it failed.

　　 If it is so easy to get stuck, Su Lun feels that the owner of the black sickle must have used it to kill the Quartet.

　　 "Ordinary puppets are useless. It seems that the curse characteristic of the sickle should be traceable to the user. Most likely it is for the ‘life body’, the ‘energy source’, or the target with some other vital signs..."

　　Su Lun roughly thought of some of the principles of tracing the origin of sickle backlash, but he did not completely lose his interest in trying.

He analyzed again: "There is a [stand-in puppet] among the high-level puppets who can pass on the injury of the body, that may be possible. Or you can directly control other people's hands and feet with steel wire, and let others slash it, it should be able to avoid the curse and backlash. ..."

　　As a puppet master, he thought of these two methods in an instant.

　　 But from the current point of view, his level is still unable to create a [Standalone Puppet]. And he still has a long way to go to control others to use the sickle. The puppet control technique has just started, and it is still far away to control as you like.

　　 Thinking of this, Su Lun moved his ten fingers with both hands frequently, and the two puppet dolls in the room also happily danced in a circle dance, habitually practicing puppet manipulation.

He suddenly thought of something, and then muttered to himself: "If you can strip off a few puppet masters, your control skills will probably improve quickly...Unfortunately, puppet masters are originally a rare profession. I don’t necessarily find a few."

　　...

　　 The multi-tasking technique allows Su Lun to control the puppet with both hands, so that his head can be distracted from thinking about other things.

　　 couldn't spare his hands to do other things anyway, his thoughts suddenly drifted away.

　　 Looking at this house, Su Lun was not sleepy either, and suddenly he instinctively thought of the death of this house.

　　 Judging from his experience of watching 800 horror movies, there must be a problem with the "murder house" of consecutive dead people.

　　 With this thought, Su Lun's mind became active: "Let me think about it, suppose there is something wrong with this house... Then, besides the distortion caused by dark spiritual power, what else is there for it?"

　　 At this moment, countless horror movie scenes flashed in his mind, and Su Lun's eyes gradually became deeper.

　　 Then, he quickly analyzed several possibilities for death.

　　NO.1: The landlord pretends to rent a house, but in fact it lures the tenant to come to the house and seek wealth and death;

　　NO.2: There are undiscovered "dangerous sources" such as radiation hidden in the house, causing death invisibly;

　　NO.3: There is something in the house that needs to meet certain conditions to appear, such as "ghost species", supernatural power;

　　NO.4: Other reasons, such as thief committing crimes randomly, seeking money and killing...

　　 The first possibility was eliminated almost instantly.

　　Before renting the house, he had already indicated his identity as a helper of the Cross Society. It is unlikely that the landlord would dare to do so.

　　 And he has the omniscient pupil, can look at the body data panel, and can't hide the negative magnetic field. The second option basically excludes this option.

　　 As for the fourth type, it is possible, but unlikely.

　　 Then, Su Lun used the elimination method, leaving the last option.

　　 Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little painful: "If there is a problem with the cause of death in this house, it is that there is a ‘ghost species’ in the house? It shouldn’t be so coincidental..."

　　...

　　It is a matter of life, and Su Lun never takes a chance.

　　 After thinking of this question, he immediately went to find the landlord Grandet, threatened and lured, and asked about the situation of the previous tenants.

　　On hearing this, I discovered that three tenants had died in this house in the past year or so.

　　 The first two are quite normal, probably because of the distortion that caused the death. A tumor in his head died, and a deformed spot in his body went crazy and died.

　　 But the third blind man is very strange.

From Grande’s words, Su Lun caught several anomalies of the blind man: 1. Mysterious origin, not a person from Nancheng District, suspected to be from the inner city; 2. It seemed that he came to investigate something; 3. The doors and windows were airtight. The blind man suddenly disappeared and no corpse was seen; 4. The blind man is very powerful and can listen to his position;

　　 When Su Lun asked about this information, he immediately felt that this house might not be as simple as a "hit house".

　　 The third blind man just left without saying goodbye, maybe he wasn't dead?

　　 Maybe it's dead, but the body is gone?

　　 Whether it was a wild thought or a cautious instinct, Su Lun would always look for clues to reason about some suspicious points when encountering such bizarre things.

　　 is like playing a puzzle game, you don’t stop if you don’t pass the level.

　　 "The blind man came to this room to investigate what... looking for someone? There are no living people, but there may be ghost species ~www.novelmt.com~ or is there a baby in this room?"

Back in the basement, Su Lun looked at the surrounding concrete wall, and his thought became clearer and clearer: "If you are looking for something, the pupil of omniscience has not found an abnormality. Is it possible that there is a special condition in this room to see (trigger ) Cursed object, or...forbidden object?"

　　 "Suppose the blind man died and the corpse was gone. Either it was eaten by a monster, or taken away by the murderer, or the corpse was still hidden in a mezzanine of the house. Hey, this is an extraordinary world..."

　　 "Maybe...this house is a cannibal monster?"

　　 As soon as the thought came out, as if to impose a psychological hint on himself, Su Lun felt that there was something "weird" in this room.

　　 His eyes focused unconsciously, scanning the entire basement.

　　 And just then, suddenly!

　　 A row of information emerged on the wall of the basement where the pupil of the omniscient had looked at it several times without being abnormal.

　　【Javier's Morgue of Resentment】

　　Detailed explanation: when you realize it exists, it will exist; when you think about it, it will appear in front of your eyes;

　　...

　　 "I really guessed it..."

　　Su Lun looked at the corner of his eyes and twitched.

　　 Seeing the changing scenes around him, he felt for the first time that it was a sin for him to like crazy thinking.

　　 This is not a game, solving puzzles is cool, but it can also trigger some incredible things. Old Ling Dun was originally an ancient relic, and "strange events" popped up in the city from time to time.

　　 But I just thought for a while... Is this triggered?

　　 is not the "ghost species" he guessed, but it is more outrageous than that.
