Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 122 [The Shroud of the Iceman of Oz]

The moment Su Lun hugged Lena's arm, the murderous intent that seemed to be scraping his back suddenly weakened a lot.

The eldest lady of the Reyce family still has a lot of cards.

Even members of the Umbrella Organization want to pursue the murderer, but they still have to worry about the personal safety of this young lady.

Su Lun didn't dare to delay. He had to find that [Forbidden Object] as soon as possible, since there were not many people surrounded.

Because the meat ticket cooperated very well, the two entered the hotel lobby smoothly.

As soon as he entered and saw the environment of the hotel, Su Lun immediately "touched the scene" and recalled some pictures in his mind, and he was more sure where the forbidden object was hidden.

Su Lun wasn't sure about the hotel's key, so he didn't intend to go straight up. If it cannot be broken through violence, it will be very troublesome.

He went to the front desk, intending to open the room normally to get the key.

Originally, they thought they would have to show their identity documents, but they didn't expect the front desk manager to greet them warmly.

The money was not confiscated, and the documents were not checked.

A flattering smile on his face.

I didn't want a luxury suite, but I asked for an ordinary double bed room in room 505.

When we went upstairs, our Miss Roupiao said weakly that this hotel belongs to her family.

The manager knows her.

Ask again, half of the real estate in this commercial street belongs to her family.

Well, Su Lun almost forgot that this is a ruthless little rich woman.

After going up to the fifth floor, the concerned eyes still locked on him did not disappear.

Su Lun ignored it and opened the door.

The Moon Hotel is a high-end hotel, and the decoration is no worse than those five-star hotels in the previous life.

The price of this kind of room is not cheap. The "A-link" big thief Albuquerque chose this place. Enjoyment is one thing, but safety is more important. The more luxurious the hotel, the less likely it is to make ward rounds.

Behind this hotel is the Reyce family, who come and go with big figures. There are few house checks, the frequency of residents is low, and hidden things are not easy to be found.

Although Reina didn't mind helping Su Lun, she was puzzled as to why he brought her to the hotel room.

But before she had time to ask, Su Lun said as soon as she entered the door: "Close your eyes. Otherwise, you will be in a lot of trouble afterwards."

"oh."

Although Lena didn't understand what Su Lun was going to do, she closed her eyes obediently without asking any further questions, as if she was in a burrow.

Su Lun really didn't want Reina to see what she was going to do, otherwise she would be in trouble.

And, the more he talks, the more he exposes himself.

Entering this room, the picture in my mind is instantly clear.

Then, he set his gaze on the corner of the ceiling.

Nothing to see with the naked eye, just a piece of white paint.

He stepped on the stool, and then stretched out his hand to touch the corner, as if he touched an invisible strip.

"Found it! It's really here!"

Su Lun was overjoyed.

He didn't know what this forbidden object was, he only knew that it was sticking in that inconspicuous corner.

Now that it is in my hand, I can see with the pupil of omniscience, and I immediately know what the transparent thing in my hand is.

[Shroud of the Iceman of Oz]

Description: It is the veil of the sleeper, the life belt of the living;

Curse feature: It can seal the corpse whose law level is not higher than the item itself, so that it will not leak any breath; of course, you are willing to pay the price of life, and it can also be used as an 'invisibility cloak', no one can reveal your whereabouts, Or breath; get close enough to the shroud and it will absorb your life tenfold; if you insist on wrapping it around you, necromantic breath will drain your life a thousandfold;

Detailed Explanation: This is a shroud that was peeled off from a mysterious ancient corpse at least 20,000 years ago, absorbing the curse of a very terrifying dead spirit; have you seen it? No, no one can see it.

When Su Lun touched the transparent strip in his hand before, he felt a little weird.

Now that he saw this detailed explanation, he realized that it was the feeling of ten times the passage of life.

Moreover, the curse characteristic of this forbidden object can be brought with you at any time, and it can absorb life ten times at any time.

If you wear it for a day, it consumes a thousand times, and you will lose nearly three years of lifespan!

However, compared to being caught and killed on the spot, the price is simply worth it.

"No wonder that Albuquerque thinks that he will confidently escape the roundup of the Umbrella Organization after getting this thing. This thing is simply an escape tool!"

When Su Lun got this thing, most of the cloud of death that enveloped his heart suddenly disappeared.

life bet,

I seem to have won again.

However, now is not the time to be emotional, Su Lun picked up the two-meter-long bandage and began to wrap it around his body. When I was thinking about how to wrap such a short bandage around my whole body, the bandage itself seemed to come alive when I thought about it.

It was like a transparent little snake greedily sucking the breath of living people, it swam on Su Lun's body, round and round, wrapping him tightly in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Su Lun could feel that he was tied up like a mummy, tightly.

He looked down at his hands, which he could still see.

But looking at the mirror in the room in a blink of an eye, it was very strange that in the room where there were obviously two big living people, only Leina with her eyes closed was seen.

The place where Su Lun was standing was empty!

"Completely Disappeared"

Seeing himself missing in the mirror, Su Lun finally saw the hope of escaping.

However, he also found a problem.

Only disappearing in the optical sense, his body is real.

The floor stall under his feet also had obvious footprint depressions.

Su Lun knew that some experts with super perception would be able to detect this anomaly, so he didn't dare to stay in the room.

Before leaving, he glanced at Lena who was still standing obediently, and said: "Remember, no matter what happens. As soon as someone asks, you will bite to death. I hijacked you and threatened you with death. upstairs."

Lena nodded obediently: "Oh."

Su Lun thought for a while, then said softly, "Thank you."

Hearing this, Lena didn't open her eyes, and a faint smile appeared on her pretty face.

Then, she heard the door slam shut.

For a long time, there was no movement in the room.

Reina guessed something, and asked cautiously, "Mr. Su Lun, are you still there?"

No one responded.

She asked again, "Can I open my eyes?"

Still no response.

At this time, Reina still didn't dare to open her eyes, because she remembered that Mr. Su Lun said that opening her eyes would cause trouble.

After waiting for a while, there was a sudden movement outside the window glass.

A person jumped in and asked eagerly, "Miss Reina, are you okay?"

Reina opened her eyes again.

There was no sign of Su Lun in the room.

Everything that happened just now was like a dream.

The eldest daughter of the Reyes family was kidnapped, and the matter quickly spread to the top of the Umbrella Organization.

This vile hijacking incident immediately caused violent turmoil in the upper class.

When the top professionals at the headquarters heard the news and rushed to save people, they suddenly heard that the matter had been resolved.

The hostages were successfully rescued, but the suspect disappeared.

Umbrella technicians carefully inspected room 505 of the Moon Hotel.

A middle-aged man with a calm face and a dark face was listening to his subordinates' reports in the room.

"So. You, the city defense department, and the security team, a total of 30 elite teams came, or did you let the suspect escape under your nose?"

"Sorry, Your Majesty the Major General. We did watch the room where he hijacked the eldest lady of the Reyce family. Then... we were afraid that he would hurt the hostages, so we didn't rush to do it. But when the organization's senior professionals arrived, the room Miss Reina is the only one left."

"hehe."

The middle-aged man suppressed the anger in his heart.

Originally, the matter of intercepting and killing the escort team of the Cross Society was just a trivial task.

All the people are cleaned up, and the "pollutants" are contained, and there will be no waves at all.

But I didn't expect that a second-tier professional would lead a team to intercept a group of "little fish" gangsters from outside the city, and how many of them would be killed and escaped?

Then so many resources were mobilized, it's fine if people don't get caught.

Now there is a kidnapping case that is known throughout the city, and now the person has escaped again?

If it weren't for the capable subordinates brought out by himself in front of him, whose abilities have been recognized, the middle-aged people really doubt that the current cadres in their umbrella organization are all idiots!

Although it proved that the fugitive had the strength of a quasi-second-tier professional, it also proved that there was a big loophole in the organization's internal intelligence system.

Otherwise, how could it be possible for such a strong person to be just a nobody in the Cross Society, and even completely blank in the Umbrella Organization?

Thinking of this, the senior executive of the umbrella organization was out of breath.

"Do you have any clues to the suspect's identity? Don't say you didn't find such a highly recognizable cosmetic outfit."

"There are clues. We retrieved the files according to the clues, and found that a few months ago, the black market in Shadow Lane did auction a blueprint of a 'gold quality' spider colony that had never been recorded. And from the perspective of efficacy, it is basically match"

"A few months ago? Hehe, you mean at least a fugitive who is an old-fashioned firearms expert, who knows the secrets and no waiters, and has only advanced to a formal professional for a few months? A few months of novice professionals, I will organize dozens of you The team is playing around?"

"."

The atmosphere was awkward.

The employee was scolded bloody throughout.

But that's the way it is, and that's all the clues they've found.

Although, they don't believe it themselves.

The middle-aged man knew that getting angry now would not solve the problem, so he asked again: "Have you figured out why the robber came to kidnap the lady of the Reyce family? I heard that the two seem to know each other when I came here?"

"Yes. The lady of the Reis family was with her bodyguard and Yulia, the eldest lady of the Cortez family. They both confirmed that they both knew each other. But Miss Reina couldn't provide more It’s just that they were coerced, so we don’t have much to ask.”

"What about this room?"

"There are some abnormal traces in the corner of the ceiling. After investigation and comparison by the staff of the trace department, they found that there should be a transparent object pasted there. We investigated the relevant files and guessed that this may be the one that was lost in the theft of the Bravo family's treasury. That forbidden item—【The Shroud of the Iceman of Oz】."

"So, you want to say, you have been investigating the stolen goods for several years, but the suspect came and took it away, and then borrowed the forbidden item and escaped?"

"Yes."

After listening to his subordinate's report, the middle-aged man looked through the file records of the entire arrest process, and the anger on his face turned into serious thought.

"From the very beginning, whether it was using a taxi to mislead the chase, or using a fake code to punch the card later, the suspect showed extraordinary calmness. Purposeful. First went to City No. 4, and after being blocked, he came to the Moon Hotel to pick up the forbidden items. Therefore, his purpose is always clear, that is, to escape!"

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man's eyes froze.

"Notify everyone, focus on blockade and investigation of District 4, the destination of the suspect is still in District 4, especially investigate the rivers, sewer pipes, and smuggling channels leading to the outer city."

"yes!"

After the middle-aged man gave the order, his brows still did not relax.

"Being able to make such a quick response in the warehouse does not rule out that he knew in advance that [Isaac's Alchemy Handbook] was hidden in this batch of goods, which is strange. Sambu should not have been exposed, how did the news leak By the way, is there any change between that Mrs. Filo and the forces behind her?"

"Not yet."

"Keep an eye on them!"

"yes!"

"Also, there is a high probability that you won't be able to catch that guy, so prepare to go to the outer city to intercept him. Isn't there that kid's bloody coat? Inform Sergey, the "Plague Doctor" of the Crow Gang, and ask him to find him. Inform Sangbu to intercept and kill, and the suspect must not be allowed to meet with the top officials of the Cross Society! "

"yes!"

"The most important point is that the Duke's Mansion has issued a death order, and the notebook must not be lost! If it is leaked out and pollutes other people, it will have a huge impact on our old Lington. Remember, as long as anyone who comes into contact with the notebook, all Clean it up! This time the incident is so big, if people still run away, don't come back!"

"yes!"
