Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 158 Four Corpses, Four Alchemy Items

The cursed space is cut off from the outside world, so if you want to control the death rate, then the hunting group of the five major families must send people in.

Su Lun guessed this possibility, so he always kept an eye out for some malicious people in the team.

He didn't want to find materials by himself and be treated as "fertilizer".

I had always noticed that there was a faint "maliciousness" in the team before. After observing for a while, I naturally found this man wearing a deerstalker hat.

The reason why the malice came and went was because his malice was aimed at everyone in the team, not Su Lun alone.

More than sixty hunters filed into the restaurant, and Su Lun followed that guy and walked in.

There was no one on the street outside, but the restaurant was very lively.

This is an extremely luxuriously decorated ancient hotel, with exquisite candlestick-style classical crystal chandeliers and artistic murals of female bodies. The lights illuminate the warm-toned decoration, making people feel a heavy sense of luxury as soon as they enter.

In addition to the wild hunters, there are some staff in the hall, the well-behaved front desk lady, the doorman, and the serious-faced guards in black trench coats. But these people are covered with a faint black air, which is already traces of contamination.

Su Lun followed the guy in the deerstalker hat straight through and walked in.

That guy seemed to be very familiar with the layout and environment of the hotel, and his purpose was obvious. As soon as he came in, he walked towards the guest room area, looking back from time to time, to see if he was on guard for someone following him.

This anti-tracking method is of little use to Su Lun now.

He followed quietly, and his super-high nerve reaction speed allowed him to easily catch the opponent's turning and turning, and then avoid it in advance.

After walking for a while, Su Lun watched the guy stop in front of "Room 1021", pretending to be a smoking tenant, and waiting there for a while.

"Hey, isn't room 1021 said to be one of the few rooms that must never be touched? Why is this guy here?"

Su Lun looked a little curious.

Unexpectedly, this guy came directly to this room.

According to the information obtained before, this room must not be opened. Once opened, it is very likely to trigger a very terrifying group destruction scenario. It seems that there will be some terrible "ghost species".

Is this the key to controlling mortality?

Or, is it simply misleading information deliberately revealed by someone?

Su Lun just watched coldly and didn't stop him.

He knew that this guy definitely didn't come from looking for death. Since he did this, even if it was dangerous as rumored, he probably knew some way to survive.

Moreover, Su Lun had already guessed that the background plot of the [1911 Hotel] cursed space had something to do with Room 1021.

Otherwise, the first floor is the same, and the degree of pollution is the same. Why are there a few more special rooms for no reason?

It is said to be "survival mode", but in fact it is also "plot decryption mode". There is never more than one cursed space to clear the customs.

But judging from the information obtained so far, this space is full of information about how to kill monsters, and the information about the background plot is almost blank.

The wild hunters are also looking for money, and they probably don't want to "meddling their own business" to trigger any high-risk plots, and no one will meddle in their own business.

But Su Lun is different, what he needs is on the second floor.

The current intelligence there is almost blank, and he needs to collect more useful information.

Seeing this sly-eyed guy go to room 1021 with "maliciousness", Su Lun felt that he must go and have a look.

And just at this moment, he saw that the guy in the deerstalker had already taken out the lockpicking tool and was tinkering with the door lock while the waiter disappeared into the corner of the corridor.

The guy was looking left and right while he was fiddling with the lock.

"Ka Ka Ka"

There was a slight metal touch in the lock cylinder of the door lock, which was the sound of the tool trying to find the correct position of the pin.

Su Lun leaned against the corner of the corridor, took out the silencer, and screwed the barrel on without haste.

He didn't even look at it, but he could clearly tell the progress of this guy's lockpicking skills from the sound.

The technique is not bad, but because of some nervous hand shaking, I made a few mistakes.

Then, after waiting for about a minute, I heard a "click".

Su Lun heard the slight "creak" sound of the door opening at the corner, and suddenly rushed out.

He was extremely fast, and he appeared in front of the door in a few strides.

The moment the man hadn't closed the door, he slammed the door shut.

Suddenly someone grabbed the door, and the guilty man trembled in fright.

Before he could react, a gun was pressed against his head.

Su Lun pushed the guy into the room and closed the door behind him.

"Tell me, what are you doing here?"

"What do you mean?"

With the gun pointed at his head, he trembled when he spoke.

Su Lun lazily looked at the guy whose face turned pale with fright, ignored him, and looked around the room from the corner of his eye.

The room is very tidy, it doesn't look like someone lives in it.

However, he saw a pair of feet with corpse spots on the white bed at a glance.

"Corpse?"

Su Lun was not surprised.

If, as the rumors said, ghost species would appear in this room after midnight, then it would make sense that some of the tenants here died.

But looking at the corpse spot, it seems that the time of death is not short.

Su Lun couldn't see the whole picture because there was a screen blocking it. He took two steps and wanted to move over.

But at this time, the guy opposite him seemed to feel that Su Lun's mind was not on the gun, and he rushed up with a glance, wanting to grab the gun and fight back.

Then

He was easily dodged by Su Lun, and hit his head with the butt of a gun.

Then he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Biu~"

"Biu~"

A special shot with a silencer rang out.

Two shots accurately shattered the kneecap, and the man in front of him knelt down as soon as his legs softened.

"ah"

There was a scream.

As soon as he wailed, Su Lun pointed his gun at his head and said coldly, "If you don't want your head blown off, just shut up."

The man suffered from ninja pain, his forehead was dripping with sweat, and he was still recently: "Everyone is a wild hunter, you... what do you mean!"

Su Lun said lightly: "Tell me, what are you doing in this room, and all the information you know."

The man wanted to quibble to hide his purpose, but listening to that indifferent voice, he had no doubt that as long as his words did not satisfy the other party, he would be killed immediately.

Enduring the severe pain, he threatened viciously: "If you kill me, you will die too!"

Su Lun ignored his threat, because he had already seen the corpse on the bed at this moment.

It was the corpse of a male with a blood-stained sack covering his face.

The pupil of omniscience saw it, and immediately a message appeared.

【Faceless Man】

Detailed Explanation: A special resentful corpse that contains powerful fire energy; one of the sacrifice materials needed for an evil ritual; if it is damaged or the corpse is moved out of the room, it will be discovered by the caster immediately;

It was further identified that the corpse had a sack on its face, and it turned out to be an alchemy item.

【Cursed Sack】

Detailed Explanation: Cover your face with a sack, who knows you? This is a sack stained with special corpse aura, covering the head to protect against the attacks of specific wraiths; it is a murder weapon, and it is also a thing to restrain the wraiths;

Evil ritual?

These words are particularly eye-catching.

Seeing this, Su Lun frowned slightly, and suddenly realized that things were not that simple.

The thoughts in his mind immediately flew, and he suddenly guessed the purpose of several taboo rooms on the first floor.

Seeing that Su Lun seemed a little dazed, the man whose legs were broken thought his threat had worked. He sneered and said, "Now the door of room 1021 has been opened, you are dead! If you are sensible, just..."

But before he finished speaking, Su Lun interrupted him, and said blankly: "You want to say that at midnight, this corpse will become a 'ghost species' and kill the people who come in this time .and you'll wear the sack over the corpse's head so it won't attack you?"

As soon as these words came out, the confidence on the man's face disappeared, his face turned from white to black, and he pointed at Su Lun in disbelief, as if he saw something more terrifying than the aberration.

"you you you."

He yelled in his heart, why would others know this secret!

The man dragged a pair of broken legs back and forth, and finally leaned against the wall, and there was no way to retreat.

Su Lun tilted his head and glanced at him, then pulled the trigger.

"Biu~"

"Biu~"

Two more shots broke the man's arms.

Su Lun has lost the patience to waste time on this kind of person: "Now that the door is open, is there a way to prevent the corpse from turning into a ghost?"

His hands and feet were broken, and the man was already stunned by Su Lun's cruel methods.

Having been told of his biggest reliance, he knew that he had no negotiation capital at all, and tremblingly said, "No, I don't know."

Su Lun asked one last time, "Tell me the news that you think will save your life."

"I, I am the exclusive hunting group of the Clark family"

Before the man finished speaking, a bullet exploded his head.

He began to show his identity as a pressure, that is to say, there was nothing worth hearing.

Su Lun was not interested in wasting time on this kind of person.

He walked over, took off the sack on the head of the corpse on the bed, and put it away.

There are still more than four hours before midnight, and there is not much time left for him.

The corpse could not be moved or damaged, so Su Lun didn't care too much, so he walked out.

In order to confirm what he thought, Su Lun went directly to another "room 1055" that was strictly forbidden to be opened in the information.

In this room, there is also a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door.

Su Lun's lockpicking skills were much better than the guy before him, and he opened the door in less than twenty seconds.

Then he walked in and saw the hanged body hanging from the ceiling with both feet in the air, showing a sense of amazement.

【The Hanged Corpse】

Detailed explanation: The sacrificial material needed for some kind of evil ritual, wind attribute resentful corpse; if it is damaged or the corpse is moved out of the room, it will be discovered by the caster immediately;

The rope hanging from the corpse was also an alchemy item with curse properties.

The effects are similar, both avoiding the damage of specific evil spirits and restraining them.

Then Su Lun went to "Room 1071" again, found a [self-drowning female corpse] in the bathtub, and picked up a strand of [wet hair].

The three attribute corpses of water, wind and fire were collected.

The previous hunting team found out that there were problems in these three rooms, which also saved Su Lun a lot of trouble.

In the end, there are still ten rooms from 1090 to 1099 that have not been explored.

Thinking that it wouldn't take much time, Su Lun decided to take a look before midnight.

There were three rooms with a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door. Su Lun listened to the movement at the door, and if there was movement, it meant that there was a living person inside, so naturally there was no need to open it.

If there's no one else, just unlock it and have a look.

Then on the bed in "Room 1099", he found an earth attribute [Big Head Resentful Baby] corpse, and found a piece of alchemy [Resentful Baby's Swaddle].

Looking at the special corpse material of four almost identical presentations.

Su Lun had a general understanding of the "hidden plot" on the first floor in his mind.

One guy performed a wicked ritual and left four dead bodies in four rooms. Maybe there were more?

But there are many rooms in the hotel, and there are ninety-nine rooms on the first floor alone. It is definitely not enough time to search for one room like this.

He felt that he should go to the front desk to see who checked in these rooms, maybe he could find more clues.

As for the "magician" he was looking for, there was no rush for now.

According to the information, the magician will not show up until an hour later, and there will be a performance in the hotel banquet hall, and it will not be too late to go back then.

The previous wild hunters took their lives to test that the previous three rooms were "forbidden rooms".

Now Su Lun has opened four rooms, which means that there will probably be four ghost species by then.

But he didn't feel much sense of crisis either.

Anyway, a "forbidden room" was opened, and this wave of hunters was destined to be wiped out.

Su Lun felt that there might be a turning point after the investigation was clear.

and

The "ghost species" is indeed powerful, but it is not really incomprehensible.

It's just that their methods are usually mental attacks, and they are usually immune to physical damage, so for most hunters who use knives and guns to attack physically, they have no solution.

But actually. Not that exaggerated.

The so-called "ghost species" also cannot be separated from the category of energy.

It can also be hurt by magic, or some legal means.

For example, the cold flame of [Wushi].

As for the spiritual attack of the ghost species, it is also graded.

Ordinary first-order ghost species, as long as healthy humans are not frightened so that the san value drops to a very low level, it can't control it even if it wants to.

Want to scare Su Lun?

It seems unrealistic.

Want to force control?

It probably needs a ghost species with a high rank.

Judging from the information currently detected in this space, that kind of existence will not appear on the first floor of the hotel.

Things aren't too bad.

What's more, the card boss also came in, and if something happened, someone would cover it.

,

Without a room card key, Su Lun is not qualified to go to the second floor where there are guards guarding the stairs.

After thinking about it, he came to the hotel's registration desk.

Similar to the "Bell Tower Space" last time, there are many ancient people restored in the hotel.

There are thousands of "living people" among the guests, waiters, doormen, and guards.

These NPCs are not very intelligent, just like programmed robots, they only do certain fixed behaviors and respond to certain fixed dialogues.

Nor would they feel that these wild hunters who appeared out of nowhere were outsiders.

As long as you don't interfere with their normality, they will choose to "ignore".

A total of more than sixty hunters came in this time.

Apparently, someone also thought of extracting some useful information from these hotel staff, such as which room lived a wealthy businessman or a jeweler.

Go directly to steal a wave, and you will get a lot of money.

But obviously, not everyone can check the registration records.

When Su Lun came, a few wild hunters had just been beaten from the front desk and left cursing.

"Don't waste your time, those stupid front desk ladies won't reveal a word at all."

"Yeah, ask a few more times, he still has to call the guards, and it will be really bad if he is arrested."

"But having said that, these girls at the front desk are really good looking. If I can't force it, I really want to try these ancient people."

"."

After waiting for a few people to leave, Su Lun walked over.

He didn't hesitate, and asked straight to the point: "Beautiful lady, can you do me a favor?"

Sure enough, even NPCs would react if someone praised them for their beauty.

The blond girl changed her indifference to the hunters in front of her, and she had a smile on her pretty face, "Sir, tell me."

Su Lun knew that conventional means were useless, so he took out a badge and said mysteriously: "I am Officer Johnny, and this is my police badge. I came secretly to investigate an important fugitive, so...I want to see the housing Record."
