The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Let's get out of here! I don't think this missionary activity can go on." Leo said to Sylvia after putting away the gun in his hand.

"Aren't you going to see what that is?" Sylvia asked, pointing to the corpse of the mutated attacker wrapped up by the Ministry of Education.

Leo turned his head to look over there, and said, "There's no need, and there's no chance, they probably won't let us see it." Then, he turned to Solander who hadn't recovered yet, and asked: " Detective Solander, what about you? Are you staying or leaving with us?"

"Me? I'd better leave with you!" Solander hesitated for a moment, and quickly made a decision. Although she doesn't like politics, it's not that she doesn't understand politics. She knows that this incident will definitely require To hold some people accountable, the Baptist Church, as the host, will naturally not be able to run away, and the police, soldiers, and people from the Ministry of Education and Education who are responsible for maintaining law and order will also be counted among the people who are held accountable. If she gives up protecting Leo and Sylvia's safety mission, if they take the initiative to join in, they will definitely be counted in the list of accountability, so in order to avoid being involved, it is best to leave with the object of her protection, even if the two of them see It doesn't need protection at all.

A group of people left the platform of the venue in this way, but they did not return to the pier of the village, and left by boat, because the Green Stone Village must be full of people now, and there may even be other mutant attackers hidden, so they In the end, I chose to go to a relatively remote abandoned miner's residential area nearby. I planned to stay there for a while. After things calmed down and the situation stabilized, I went to Greenstone Village. Some dignitaries who hadn't had time to escape just now also chose to follow. Behind the two, after all, judging from the situation just now, even if there are any mutant attackers, staying by Leo's side is definitely much safer than staying in other places.

Because Emerald Island is located in the depths of Beiruk Lake, there is some distance between the city of Beiruk, and even the fastest boat takes about an hour to go there. It was almost two hours later when we were in the urban area of ​​Keshi. Everyone who heard the news was shocked. They immediately thought it was a rumor, not only the high-level dignitaries, but even the people at the bottom. After receiving the news, I had a similar thought.

After all, there have been few incidents with such a large number of casualties in Beiruk City for so many years. The last time there were more than 30 casualties was sixty or seventy years ago, so now I heard what happened in Emerald Island, and there are some absurd elements such as humans mutating into monsters in this incident, which is even more unbelievable.

It's just that people came back from Emerald Island one after another, including civilians and dignitaries, and the things they heard were all the same. At this time, everyone realized that the thing was true. Casualties.

The authorities of Beirut City responded immediately and dispatched a large number of people to Emerald Island, including both the police and the permanent army, because there were not only a large number of people on the island, but also many dignitaries who had not left. The three people with the highest power headed by the mayor of the city, the justice and the chairman of the city council formed an investigation team and began to investigate this matter.

The first to bear the brunt was naturally the Baptist Church. The Baptist Church in Beiruk City and the suburbs were immediately surrounded by police and troops. In name, it was to protect the Baptist Church from the second attack, but in fact it was to protect the Baptist Church. The Baptist Church was monitored, and high-level members of the Baptist Church were taken to the city police station for interrogation.

However, the people in the investigation team soon discovered that they could not interrogate anything from these people. It was not that these people who were imprisoned by the Baptist Church were uncooperative and did not want to return to any questions, but that these people People don't know anything at all, because their duties in the church are just ordinary priests, and they have never been in touch with any actual church things.

Those high-level people who really master the affairs of the Baptist Church in Beruk City are all on Emerald Island at the moment. They obviously attach great importance to this evangelistic activity, so basically people with some positions have already gone to the island, and those who stayed behind are just Just some fringe priests,

After learning about the situation, the investigation team thought about sending people to Emerald Island to bring back all the senior officials of the Baptist Church and others under house arrest, so as to prevent the people from the Baptist Church from fleeing when they heard the news from the city, but new problems emerged. Because they found that they couldn't find a boat now, because all the boats from the urban port and surrounding fishing villages went to pick up people from Emerald Island, and the rest of the boats were fishing boats that could only fish nearby, and couldn't go there at all. Deep in the Lake District as far away as Emerald Isle.

There are not many things that the investigation team can do now, either wait for the ships from Emerald Island to return, or go to the lakeside villages farther away to recruit ships, no matter which method will eventually take a lot of time.

At the same time, on Emerald Island, the situation did not develop in a good direction, but became a little out of control.

Those who left by boat first drove away before the boat was full, or even when only a few people sat on it, so that a large number of people were stranded on the pier, fear, fear and other emotions did not because of The mutated attackers on the other side of the venue were killed and weakened, but became more and more frustrated and desperate because they could not leave the island, especially because there were rumors that there were still some mutated attackers hidden in the crowd, and they would attack again at any time, thus It caused some people whose emotions were already unstable to completely lose control, and these out-of-control people also affected other people, and the way they vented their emotions was to smash what they saw before, and after that, they aimed their attacks at the attackers. People who baptize the church and government personnel who maintain law and order.

Originally, people from the Baptist Church and the government still had a way to control the situation, but when they discovered that some high-level officials of the Baptist Church, including the preaching bishop, had left Emerald Island by boat, and the news had leaked out, they were By the time everyone knew, they had lost control of the excited crowd.

Many members of the church were attacked, and the police and soldiers sent by the government had to attack the furious people in order to save the attacked members of the church, so the two sides attacked each other like crazy in Green Stone Village. It was as if he regarded the other party as an enemy.

In addition, the innocent villagers of Greenstone Village were also involved. They were also taken as accomplices of the church by crazy people. They were dragged out of their homes and beaten to death on the street, forcing the people of Greenstone Village to take up arms. To protect myself, attack all non-Greenstone Villagers, including the citizens of Beiruk City, as well as church and government personnel.

A small-scale three-party melee started in the village of Greenstone Village and the dock area. Although the people in Beiruk City accounted for the majority, none of them had weapons, and there was no organizer to direct the battle. They all fought on their own. , the casualties far exceeded the other two parties, but they seemed to be red-eyed, even if they were holding the enemy's weapons, they would rush to die with the opponent, so the overall situation seemed to be that they had an advantage.

However, not all the people fell into the predicament of losing control of their emotions. They temporarily left Greenstone Village before the chaos happened, and went to some relatively secluded abandoned mining areas to stay temporarily. When they heard that Greenstone Village had fallen into chaos, , were frightened, and migrated deeper to the island far away from Greenstone Village. Although they were temporarily safe and were not involved in the melee, their situation was not very good because they lacked food and drinking water. If food and drinking water are found on the island, they still need to go back to Greenstone Village.

Among these people, a team that looked like an ordinary team composed of several citizen families chose an abandoned miner's living area identified by Leo and Silvia as their temporary foothold. When an open space was cleared here, Leo, Sylvia and others who set up tents hesitated for a moment, then approached and asked if they could join in.

They didn't have any other bad intentions. Although most of these people were adults, there were still many children inside. They just saw that people like Leo and Sylvia had weapons in their hands, and some of them were dignitaries. There are also bodyguards around, which looks safer. Of course, the most important thing is that Leo and the others have water and food here.

"Yes! But you have to obey the arrangement and don't move around at will." Without waiting for everyone to discuss, Sylvia took the initiative to make a decision for others. Leo naturally didn't mind this, but other government officials and rich people They were slightly dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to show it, because Leo found the tents, food and water in the abandoned residential area. It looked like the water and food stored by the people of Emerald Island. They didn't know that Leo took these things and water directly from his storage space.

After these people sat down, Sylvia asked about the situation in Greenstone Village, and they heard that there was a riot there, and several forces were fighting each other there for no reason, and there were already heavy casualties. , I felt a little unbelievable, and I couldn't figure out why this situation had happened.

And those who chose to follow Leo and Sylvia to this abandoned miner's living area couldn't help but be grateful for their choice, otherwise they would all be involved in this melee.

Compared to other people who were just congratulating themselves for being lucky and not being involved in the conflict, Leo and Sylvia thought more, exchanged glances with each other, and understood each other's thoughts.

From their point of view, the scuffle that is happening in Greenstone Village now is obviously not something that should happen under normal circumstances, but more like being manipulated by someone, causing the most primitive animal nature in their hearts to explode and attack the people around them.

However, the two of them didn't feel any abnormal power or energy fluctuations around them.

"Is it only in Greenstone Village?" Leo whispered.

"It's possible." Sylvia nodded slightly, and said, "Could it be part of the attacker's plan?"

Leo hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's go and have a look."

"Alright." Sylvia nodded in agreement without thinking about it.

When the two told others about their decision, the others immediately objected, because they already knew from those people that Greenstone Village was very chaotic, and it was easy to get involved in danger in the past. Solander was especially concerned about this. be opposed to.

"Don't worry, I don't think anyone on the island can pose a threat to us." Leo took out two guns and put them on his waist, and took out two more guns and handed them to Sylvia who put on a hunting suit.

The ordinary people who just joined in didn't understand what Leo meant, but the others had witnessed how Leo used the two guns to eliminate the mutant attackers, and they couldn't make any rebuttals.

"I'm going with you. I'm your bodyguard assigned by the city government." Solander didn't stop her, she also took out her own gun and hung it on her waist, saying.

Leo and Sylvia looked at each other and nodded, and then the three of them walked towards Greenstone Village along the way those people came.

The speed of the three of them was very fast, and it didn't take long for them to reach the outside of Greenstone Village. At this time, the chaos in Greenstone Village seemed to be continuing, and various shouts, fighting sounds, and painful cries were heard one after another. Coming over is enough for the three of them to understand how chaotic the situation over there is.

However, at this time, both Leo and Sylvia stopped in unison, glanced at each other, and said to Solander who was following behind by Leo's turning: "You stay here, don't go in."

"Why?" Solander frowned and asked back.

Sylvia said bluntly: "Because if you go in, you will become the same as those people in the village."

Solander didn't understand it for a while, and was stunned for a while, but soon realized what Leo and Sylvia were talking about, and said in a deep voice, "Is there any mysterious power here? The kind of Belmont Manor?"

Leo and Sylvia didn't give any further explanations, they just told her seriously not to follow, and then they stepped into Greenstone Village.

Solander originally wanted to follow in, but after taking two steps, he felt an inexplicable panic. He stopped instinctively, and instead of going inside, he took a few steps back, until the panic The feeling disappears before stopping.

At this time, she had already believed what Leo and Silvia said, and at the same time, she was also confused about their identities, because judging from the current situation, the two were definitely not as simple as they seemed on the surface, they were just two A foreigner with a noble status who came to settle in Beruk City, on the contrary, was more like the legendary figures mentioned in the stories she had heard before who were often in contact with occult things.
