Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 160 See also "§" symbol

According to the original plot, "pollution" will only occur at midnight, and everyone in the entire 1911 Hotel will become weird.

And the wild hunters came in to get the materials, just to do it after midnight, because those ordinary people became weird, so they would produce curse materials.

But Su Lun couldn't wait for that time.

The magician was going to be deformed, and Su Lun felt that he was not sure about killing him.

Moreover, now that the four "forbidden rooms" on the first floor have been opened, he feels that there may be other changes in the pollution incident tonight.

To solve the problem, it must be early.

Su Lun walked towards the stage, and then walked into the backstage through the staff passage through the side door.

He was going to stop the magician when he stepped down.

Because he heard from intelligence that no one saw the magician after he left the stage.

Su Lun felt that he might teleport away with his space ability, so he could only go to the background to guard him.

After the stage, there is the dressing room, which is a little narrow.

The dancers of the "Swan Song and Dance Troupe" are changing their clothes here.

There were staff guarding the door. Su Lun took off his hat, showed his face, and flashed his police badge, and walked in without any hindrance.

The dancers are probably used to changing clothes temporarily during the performance, and they don't mind not having a separate changing room. When Su Lun walked in, he was watching the young girls with cool and graceful dresses changing their costumes in the narrow dressing room.

Seeing a strange man walk in, the girls were like frightened fawns, covering their naked bodies in fright. But after seeing Su Lun's handsome face clearly, the dancers became calm again for an instant. Not only did no one scream, they even laughed and whispered. Some are bold and unrestrained, and they will even wink at him generously.

"Handsome guy, who are you looking for~"

"I'm looking for Mr. Edward."

"Oh~ I'm so sorry, I thought you came to invite our Captain Barbara to have dinner with you."

"."

Walking all the way, Su Lun also responded to these beautiful girls with a very gentlemanly smile.

He wanted to go to the aisle of the stage and wait for the magician before he disappeared from his sight.

After walking over, I saw a small dressing room separated by a curtain next to the dressing room. The lead singer, Miss Barbara, was changing clothes and removing makeup inside.

The light was very bright, and that charming face was reflected in a large makeup mirror.

Su Lun saw the seductive woman with red lips in the mirror, and the woman saw him too.

"What, is the handsome guy lost?"

The sound is crisp and soft, as if the bones are crisp.

Su Lun watched the woman turn her head, and her eyes were unconsciously attracted by her rosy red lips.

It seems that the red lips have endless magic power, making people unable to move their eyes away.

This is an inner hint with spiritual means, which will make people let down their guard inadvertently.

Su Lun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he also guessed that this woman was probably a professional with [Succubus] talent.

Fearing that this woman would use hypnotism, he immediately showed his police badge, "I want to wait for Mr. Edward, and I want to consult him about something."

Barbara looked at the police badge, the corners of her eyebrows were curved, and her tone became more sticky, "Oh? It's a police officer. May I ask Mr. Edward what you can do?"

Su Lun didn't feel any malice or carelessness, and said indifferently: "Some business."

Although Su Lun felt that the woman and the magician should know each other, he still wanted to wait to communicate with that Edward.

Hearing this, Barbara smiled charmingly, pointed to the chair beside her, and said, "Handsome police officer, come and have a seat? Mr. Edward will probably finish his performance in a while."

Su Lun glanced at her, and didn't want to get too close to this kind of professional in the spiritual department, so he rejected the invitation, which looked very voluptuous, "I'm on official business, so I won't sit down."

Because she was changing clothes, Barbara was also dressed very coolly. While speaking, his peripheral vision unconsciously swept across the deep career line on her chest.

In other words, do women with succubus talent have such a good figure?

Barbara covered her mouth and smiled lightly, also catching that look. But not only did she not mind, but instead she was full of smiles, showing off her proud figure without hesitation, and boldly teased, "Handsome police officer, what are you looking at?"

"."

Su Lun's expression remained unchanged.

He felt that this was probably an occupational disease of the succubus.

And just after these few words, the stairs in the backstage suddenly rang.

A man in a tuxedo came down, who was the magician Edward.

Someone's ambiguous atmosphere was instantly diluted, and Barbara said to Edward: "Mr. Edward, this police officer said he has something to ask for you."

Edward heard "police officer", as if triggering some key words, and then looked at Su Lun, who he was going to ignore.

Su Lun directly showed the police badge and said, "I am Joey, the patrolman in the Bell Tower District, and I have been ordered to investigate some things. Please cooperate with Mr. Edward."

Edward seemed to think of something, "Block Tower Block?"

When the other party responded, Su Lun immediately knew that he had guessed correctly: the two alchemists hiding in the crowd were targeting the old nun.

Edward looked at Su Lun for a moment, and continued to ask: "Excuse me, officer, what are you here to investigate. How can I cooperate with you?"

Su Lun didn't feel any malice, that is to say, the corpses in those four rooms should have nothing to do with the two people in front of him.

Now, he is more sure how to use this plot.

He said directly: "Excuse me, have you heard of [White Monastery]?"

Hearing this, Edward's expression froze, and he frowned and said, "Oh, of course, I remember it's a monastery on Bell Tower Street in Dongcheng. But can Officer Johnny explain in more detail, is it related to this monastery that you're looking for?"

These people seem to be living people, but in fact they are still high-level NPCs who can only respond to certain plots.

Su Lun needed to trigger the plot, so he said bluntly: "An old nun took a very dangerous thing from the monastery, which may pollute others. According to the clues, I found that she came to this restaurant. But in the process , I discovered some other things, so I need Mr. Edward to cooperate."

Having said all this, Edward did not continue to pretend to be ignorant, he smiled: "Officer Johnny, your investigative ability really amazes me."

As he spoke, he directly took out a badge with a gold ouroboros and a "§" symbol from his pocket.

This move surprised Su Lun.

He originally wanted to ask Edward to assist in the investigation, and guided him to look at the corpses, to see if he could conflict with the evil caster, and then find another opportunity.

But pulling out the badge means you want to show your identity?

Su Lun guessed something, and waited silently for the other party to take the initiative to introduce.

If not, Edward explained politely: "This incident is beyond the scope of the police station. So, it is now handled by our special operations department. Just leave the matter here to us."

After a pause, he added with a smile: "Praise for your dedication, Officer Johnny."

Is that so?

Hearing these remarks, Su Lun immediately understood.

This Edward and this Barbara are the official people in Dawn City who handle the distortion incident!

After speaking, Edward looked like he was about to leave.

But

The reason why this hotel will become a cursed space means that they failed to prevent this incident a thousand years ago.

The pollution incident at midnight is a recurrence of the tragedy of that year.

If Su Lun left here, things would definitely return to the original track.

Although Su Lun had the alchemy items obtained from the four corpses in his hand, there was a high probability that he could save his life at midnight.

But he still needs space materials!

Therefore, Edward will definitely not be allowed to leave like this.

Moreover, from the time room 1021 was opened, it was doomed that the Wild Hunting Group might be wiped out this time.

Now that there are official Liming professionals, maybe the problem on the first floor can be solved in advance?

At this moment, thoughts in Su Lun's mind raced, and he quickly weighed the pros and cons of the certificate matter.

Will the plot change be too serious, triggering some butterfly effect?

He didn't know what would happen in the end if he changed the plot like this, but...

But thinking carefully about the tone of Mr. Hei's speech last night, they knew enough about this cursed space.

It also means that a certain boss who is still hiding in the team is capable of handling all kinds of emergencies.

Thinking of this, Su Lun didn't hesitate any longer, and said directly: "Well, Mr. Edward, since you are handling this matter, I am relieved. However, I have a piece of information here, I don't know if you know it."

Listen, Edward glanced back at him, "Oh?"

Su Lun said: "I investigated the occupancy records before, and found that there was a guy named 'Tiger Garson' who moved in at the same time as Sister Elizabeth. He opened four rooms and put four strange corpses. They are [Faceless Man], [Hanged Corpse], [Self-Drowned Female Corpse], [Big-headed Resentful Infant]. It seems that some kind of evil ritual is being performed again."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the two NPCs changed suddenly. Obviously, they knew what the four corpses meant.

Edward couldn't hide his shock: "[Four Ghosts Fallen Sacrifice Array]! Damn it, she wants to open that 'sealed thing' in this restaurant!"

When Su Lun heard it, they really didn't know the existence of the corpse.

Edward's expression suddenly became serious, and he said to himself: "I hope I can stop it in time."

Su Lun looked at the word "polluted" on their heads and felt that it was necessary to remind them, so he said, "Have you ever considered that you may have been polluted?"

Hearing this, the two looked at each other with solemn eyes.

The charm on Barbara's face was completely absorbed, and she suddenly pinched the Warlock's seal, as if she had cast some spiritual spell.

After a few breaths, she gave Edward an ugly look, and said in a heavy tone: "Someone's high-ranking law has blinded our perception. It should be the breath of the 'sealed thing' that leaked. If there is no accident, what Police Officer Johnny said That's right, we, and even the entire restaurant, have been contaminated."

"."

Edward fell silent.

However, there was more determination on his face.

He looked at Su Lun and said, "Officer Johnny, this is a very important matter, and we may need you to do us a favor."

Su Lun cast a puzzled look, knowing that he might have changed the main plot.

Edward said resolutely in a calm tone: "If we are really polluted, please kill us first when you find signs of distortion in us."

As he said that, he looked at the place not far behind Su Lun, where the invisible living corpse was standing.

Sure enough, this kind of space ability user has long discovered the existence of invisible living corpses.

"this"

When Su Lun heard the request, he showed a look of embarrassment, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Okay!"

It never occurred to him that he racked his brains to find out how to get the materials, but the other party actually mentioned it on his own initiative.

In this situation tonight, all the NPCs in the hotel will be 100% distorted.

With their cooperation, I don't need to sneak attack at all, and the difficulty of killing is instantly reduced by a hundred times.

but

This also means that I have to be with them at any time, otherwise how do I know when they are deformed?

At this time, Edward said again: "Officer Johnny, the information you provided is very important. I need to call my companions. The four corpses must be destroyed first!"

Su Lun followed Edward out of the dressing room.

They were going to contact his teammates in the hotel room.

In order not to startle the snake, we made an appointment to deal with the corpses in the four rooms after five minutes.

Su Lun knew that touching those corpses would immediately alarm the spellcaster who arranged the evil ritual.

The war may break out early.

But it looks good now, at least the ones in the restaurant are not distorted.

Edward and the others will investigate this matter, so naturally they have certain strength.

Su Lun didn't think the ending would be one-sided.

Walking out of the banquet hall, Su Lun originally planned to find a place to prepare for the battle.

Unexpectedly, it was blocked by people.

Gallup, the leader of the "Sand Scorpions", led more than a dozen people in his regiment, and they were already waiting in the corridor.
