Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 142 Wait, I'll Kill Two People

"Boom"

Strike the bell, and the sound waves are like ripples on the surface of the water, spreading in circles in the misty air.

After the heavy bell rang, I suddenly heard the long and clearer bell tones of "dong", "dong" and "dong".

The two different bells overlap, as if gradually overlapping with another time and space.

Su Lun only felt the light and shadow flicker in front of his eyes, and the surrounding scene began to change rapidly.

He was already familiar with this situation, knowing that he was sucked into the cursed space.

It's a cold night.

The scene in front of him changed, and Su Lun found himself at an "X-shaped" intersection.

He took a quick look around his surroundings.

On the left hand side of the crossroads is a towering red brick bell tower, which is a full hundred meters high, and the top of the tower is still brightly lit;

The sound of "dong dong" beside the ear is still echoing.

Looking up at the time on the clock tower, the black pointer on the white dial was exactly pointing to twelve o'clock.

It's the stroke of midnight.

A hundred meters to the right is a majestic white monastery.

The street at midnight was deserted and quiet, and a thin black mist filled the whole street.

The ground is wet stone, not spacious. There are obvious strips and narrow lines on the not thick snow, which are like traces of a carriage.

There are retro-style hexagonal gas lamps on both sides of the street, and roadside flower beds are surrounded by black iron flower fences.

There is a row of residential buildings with red roofs in front of them, and the dim yellow firelight flickers on the frosted glass. That is the light from the firewood burning in the fireplace shines through the glass windows, adding a touch of warmth to this cold winter night.

It's snowing?

"Will it snow in Dawn City in a thousand years?"

Su Lun looked at the intact buildings around him, and saw the scene in Dawn City a thousand years ago.

And at this time, on the road in front of him, there happened to be a black carriage galloping past. The bells around the neck of the maroon horse made a clear sound, and the horse's hooves stepped on the stone road with a "click" and "click".

Through the window glass, you can still see an old gentleman in a well-dressed dress sitting inside.

The carriage ran across the street, rolling up a burst of snowflakes, and the cold wind poured into the collar of the windbreaker.

It made people shiver.

There are figures, lights, and white smoke slowly rising from the chimney.

There are fireworks like the real world.

It's an amazing feeling.

It seems to have traveled into history, and the picture scroll of history is vividly displayed in front of your eyes.

"Mr. Johnny? Where are we?"

On the side, a little boy in thin clothes tentatively yelled, and he still had a basket of matches in his hand.

The little match boy?

Su Lun didn't recognize Tommy, but heard his tone, and responded lightly, "Curse the space."

He looked at Tommy's attire, guessed something, and asked, "What do you think I'm wearing now?"

Tommy said: "Patrol uniform."

Su Lun looked at himself in the hunter's attire, and his eyes were filled with amazement.

He paid attention and looked at the extra badge on his chest.

[Police emblem of Dawn City Patrol]

Shock +3

Detailed Explanation: An alchemy accessory, the identity certificate of the Dawn City Patrolman; with it, you are a patrolman with law enforcement power. But be careful, it will attract the murderer's attention.

"I'm a policeman? Cursed spaces in RPG mode? Kind of funny"

Su Lun raised his eyebrows nonchalantly when he saw the prompt that was easy to attract monsters.

He looked down at his hands again.

There is an extra kraft paper file bag in his hand.

When I opened it, it was a case record.

[Archives of Police Confessions of the Bell Tower Street Murder Incident]

Case number code: MST-07 serial murder case

Case Status: Unresolved

Sheriff: Flower Scott

Witness/Assistant: Patrolman Johnny

The file records are as follows: A male corpse was found in the alley of No. 44 Bell Tower Street this morning, with his face and internal organs eaten; Exactly the same; someone witnessed a cloaked man wandering around the crossroads of the clock tower at midnight; suspected distortion incidents, please handle with caution, and apply for support from the city guard special organization if necessary

"This is a cursed space with a plot background. Do you want me to find the murderer?"

Su Lun glanced at ten lines and quickly glanced at the file.

However, the content of this file is easily misleading.

He had seen through the Eye of Omniscience that the name of this cursed space was [Legend of the Clock Tower Freak], and guessed that the murderer was probably on the red brick clock tower in his left hand.

Moreover, the way to get out is not to catch the murderer.

It's about fulfilling a last wish.

The point of this file is to find the murderer

But since the Eye of Omniscient judged it to be a "D-level" difficulty space, Su Lun was in no hurry.

What's more, the gun is there, the storage ring is there, and the sickle is also there.

There is more than one way to break the game.

But then again, this scene is really real enough.

Looking at the vivid ancient street scenes around him, he was not interested in the murderer.

The bustling Dawn City a thousand years ago is even more curious!

Entering the cursed space for the first time, Tommy on the side seemed a little nervous: "Mr. Johnny, where are we going now? Are we going to find the source of this cursed space?"

"Yeah. But not in a hurry."

Su Lun nodded, looked at the two sneaky guys not far away, and said, "Wait here, I'll kill two people."

kill?

Tommy was taken aback.

His tone was as calm as if he said you wait for me to buy some oranges.

Before he could ask any further questions, Su Lun had already walked over.

He took out his police badge and said to the two guys in black trench coats with pipes in their mouths, "Hello, please show your ID cards."

The two were a little confused, as if they hadn't reacted to their new identities, "We are detectives and want to investigate."

But before he finished speaking, Su Lun asked, "A member of the Swordsmen?"

"how are you"

Before the man finished speaking, Su Lun drew his gun expressionlessly, and the two "Bengpeng" shots made a blood hole between the eyebrows of the two of them.

The corpse fell to the ground, Su Lun harvested a wave of experience, and pulled out the storage ring from the corpse.

He pondered in his mouth: "A total of ten, and there are eight more."

After killing the two of them, Su Lun turned his head to look at Tommy who was stunned there, and greeted, "Let's go."

Tommy trotted over quickly and asked, "Mr. Johnny, why...why did you kill them?"

He is also very smart, guessing something: "Are those two from the Swordsmen just now?"

Su Lun: "Did you recognize them?"

Tommy: "Yeah."

Su Lun didn't explain much, "You'll know in a while."

Tommy: "Ah, where are we going now?"

Su Lun: "Go and see what Dawn City looked like a thousand years ago."

go out?

Coming to such an interesting place, just going out like this is really a waste of opportunity.

Clearing out the squad of the Swordsman is just a small goal by the way.

Most importantly, he has 100% confirmed that this accompanying space is related to the "Weeping Witch", so he still needs to find some key clues to clarify the ins and outs of the incident in the space.

Su Lun led Kai on the street. He didn't go to the bell tower or the monastery first, but went directly to a big red-roofed house with lights on at the intersection.

Tuk, duk, duk!

Knocking on the door, Su Lun looked at the name of the head of the household on the nameplate by the door, and shouted to the person inside the door: "Sorry for disturbing you late at night, Mr. Smith. I'm Officer Johnny, and I have something I want to ask you. "

He quickly adapted to his role.

A female voice responded from inside: "Oh, it's Officer Johnny. Wait a moment."

Listening to the rustling movement, it seems to be putting on clothes.

After waiting for half a minute, the door opened, and a blonde lady in a Victorian-style tutu opened the door.

She looked at Su Lun, as if she knew him: "Officer Johnny, please sit in the room."

Su Lun was also polite and walked in.

The room is elegantly decorated, with crystal chandeliers and mahogany furniture, fine ceramic utensils and silver dinner plates on the table, a fire burning in the fireplace, and a stuffed deer head and a shotgun on the wall.

This is a rich family.

Su Lun entered the room and looked around quickly, "I'm bothering you to rest, Mrs. Smith."

The blond woman murmured: "Oh, you have to go out to patrol the streets under such heavy snow. You are the one who worked so hard, Officer Johnny. Could it be that there has been another murder case? Oh my god, it's scary. Recently Bad news every day."

After a pause, she said again, "Coffee or black tea?"

"Tea, thank you."

Su Lun replied casually, entered the role of a patrolman, and asked, "Mrs. Smith, have you noticed anything unusual in the neighborhood recently?"

Mrs. Smith fiddled with the thermos on the fireplace, poured a cup of tea for Su Lun, and said, "When the clock struck midnight last night, I seemed to hear a very painful cry from the direction of the clock tower."

When bending over, Su Lun saw a large snow-white ravine through the neckline and the steel frame girdle around her waist.

"oh."

Su Lun did not sit on the sofa, but went to the decorative bookshelf and took down a thick bronzing classic.

Flipping through, there was no writing on the page.

The other books are almost the same, only one of the classics "Basic Alchemy Encyclopedia" has some scattered fragments of Gunedic texts.

Seeing this, Su Lun was not too surprised, and continued to ask questions while flipping through the pages.

"Have you heard from Sir Isaac lately?"

"No, it doesn't"

"Does your family plan to install mechanical prosthetics?"

"."

"Do you know where that tall black tower leads to?"

"."

"Have you studied alchemy?"

"Sorry, I'm not a warlock. It was a book that my mayor's husband bought to decorate. But he hasn't been back for three days."

"Mr. Smith won't be back tonight?"

"Oh, Officer Johnny, you are too direct. Maybe you should be more tactful"

"."

"Is there an alchemist nearby?"

"The old nun in the white monastery opposite seems to be a very powerful warlock"

"About that monastery, did you notice anything unusual?"

"There is nothing unusual in there except for a few nuns and pigeons cooing all day long."

"Do you have any special impression of those nuns?"

"I only remember a little girl named Alice. She was very beautiful. She often played the harmonica alone in the attic of the monastery. Oh, it was a sad song that made people cry."

"."

After asking a few more questions, Su Lun knew that he might not be able to get more information.

Very mechanical answer.

This cursed space is a memory fragment of the "curse source". The memory can restore the street scene, but it is impossible to restore a group of people with living souls.

These people are like NPCs in the game, who can make simple responses without too complicated emotions.

Problems that are beyond cognition or have nothing to do with task events will be selectively "inaudible".

(This is a low-level space, the higher the cursed space, the closer it will be to the real world)

Su Lun didn't stay in the house much, but said to Tommy, "You stay in the house, and don't come out no matter what the situation is."

Tommy was a little puzzled: "Why?"

Su Lun said: "That monster will come out to kill people at midnight, but the seven people in the file died on the street, so the house should be relatively safe. Just stay with this Mrs. Smith and remember not to come out at any time. "

Tommy: "Oh. Mr. Johnny, what about you?"

Su Lun: "I'll find some other clues."

After a pause, he said to the blond lady again: "Mrs. Smith, can you please take care of him for me? I will be back soon."

Mrs. Smith responded: "Of course. Officer Johnny."

Su Lun knew that this cursed space was "D-class" to him, but to others, it was "A-class" with high casualties.

It might be dangerous to take Tommy around.

And Su Lun still has some guesses.

Since they enter this cursed space, they all have their own "roles".

Then one possibility cannot be ruled out, both of their "roles" died on the street.

Otherwise, the police badge on the chest would not remind of "especially attracting murderers", nor would it be so "real".

The cursed space rules of the plot flow are very simple, everything is the murderer's memory construction.

Things are real, but not beyond the murderer's knowledge.

It's like the murderer hasn't read the books on those shelves, it's just blank.

Only the one I read had text.

Only when the murderer has the concept of "the police badge is an alchemical object" in his cognition, will it be identified as an alchemical object.

This is a space where the plot is very simple as long as you sort it out carefully.

As long as you investigate some information, you will find that all the clues point to two places, the Red Tower Bell Tower and the White Monastery.

But the difficulty is that this is the point of the background story, but not the point of the breaking method.

Su Lun walked out of the door and stepped on the wet stone street again.

The snowflakes falling from the sky fell on the shoulders and hats, turning back and accumulating thin layers from time to time.

Su Lun patted the snowflakes on his shoulder and strolled down the street.

The cold wind made his thoughts extraordinarily clear.

Then I visited a few more and collected a few ancient books with scattered information.

A few questions were asked, and the situation was similar.

Whenever the nun named "Alice" is mentioned, these NPCs will say a lot.

There is also an old lady with a window attic facing the clock tower, saying that she once saw a strange person in the clock tower

These are critical intelligence.

The patrol police who investigated back then should have also found this information.

The original process is that "players" need to collect these information, and then they are directed to the red brick clock tower to find monsters.

But Su Lun was in no hurry to go.

Different choices lead to different endings.

Just like playing those open-ended plot games, Su Lun can directly kill the monsters in the clock tower or fulfill his last wish, and he can pass the level without knowing the background of the game.

But that's where the drama ends.

He lost the meaning of coming to this cursed space.

Therefore, Su Lun chose the second option.

He went to the street, planning to go to the monastery to see how the Weeping Witch was formed.

Now that it is confirmed that this is not the "space of the Weeping Witch", the monastery will not be in too much danger.

That is an ordinary scene.

But there will be a very important background to the story line.

As he walked, his thoughts were spinning, but Su Lun accidentally found a few lost lambs.

In a tavern, he saw a table of guys in detective costumes arguing about something.

Although their appearance had changed, Su Lun could tell the origins of several people from their words.

"Damn it! What is the answer to that question? Solo answered 'ugly', Martin answered 'not ugly' and they were all killed, and Jike was killed if he didn't answer! I suspect that the cloaked monster simply wanted to kill people for fun. "

"Stop complaining, think of other ways. We are temporarily safe staying in the house, but it is difficult to be trapped in this cursed space for the rest of our lives? I just heard some news from the bartender, saying that there is a wack"

"."

This group of people is also thinking of a way to crack it. It sounds like the three people who were not present have been killed by the "murderer".

Su Lun walked in, drew his gun and fired without saying a word.

A gunfire flashed in the tavern.

Although the tavern was destroyed by an explosion caused by the enemy's counterattack, five people including the captain "Bomb Maniac" Collins were all killed.

Su Lun put away the explosion-proof puppet, as if he had done a trivial thing.

He walked out of the tavern and continued towards the white-walled monastery.

In the city of alchemists who don't believe in gods, there will be a monastery?

This is what Su Lun is most curious about.

And what does that nun named Alice have to do with the weirdo on the clock tower?
