The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"What's going on? Hit a reef?" Longanus stabilized his body, looking at the messy scene around him, he couldn't help but annoyed.

"It didn't hit the reef!" Leo replied very positively. Although his spiritual net couldn't penetrate the outside of the ship because of the influence of these symbols with mysterious power, the supernatural perception of his body still existed. All kinds of slight vibrations and sounds can simulate all the situations inside and outside the submarine in his mind, and in his simulation image, it is not the reef that hits the hull outside the boat, but a body not much smaller than the Kraken. monster.

Leo told Langnus his discovery, and Langnus couldn't help being stunned, and had the urge to laugh. The sea monster encountered a real sea monster. This kind of thing is really unbelievable , but then the ship shook violently again, and even when it began to tilt, the smile on Longanus's face gradually disappeared.

At this time, Solander and other security personnel staggered in from the open door. One of the security personnel stepped forward and grabbed Longanus, and said hurriedly: "Scholar Longanus, please come with us, the ship The body may have been injured, we need to save lives..."

It's just that the security guard hadn't finished speaking before Leo reached out to stop him. The security guard was very dissatisfied with Leo's interruption of his words. Just as he was about to reprimand Leo, suddenly a powerful force erupted from Leo's body. The power directly penetrated the cabin full of mysterious runes, and rushed into the lake outside.

Normal people can't perceive this power at all, but the high-level life form attached to the power is enough to affect the mentality of the people around. At this moment, Leo has turned into a god-like existence in the eyes of the people around him, let alone After he reprimanded him, he didn't even dare to pant loudly, and he couldn't even look directly at Leo, so he could only lower his head in fear.

And outside the ship, the huge monster that kept hitting the Kraken was directly impacted by Leo's power, and a layer of flesh and blood was scraped off the monster's body surface, and all the tentacles and other limbs that extended outside the body were completely wiped out. Cut into pieces.

If it is an ordinary creature with such a serious injury, it is almost certain to die, but this monster obviously has extraordinary vitality. Under such a serious injury, it can still get rid of the influence of Leo's power, swing its body violently, and move away quickly. The Sea Monster quickly disappeared into the depths of the lake.

After solving the monster, Leo also regained his strength, and everything returned to its original state.

At this time, everyone who had been suppressed by the power of the high-level life body just now also recovered, but they didn't know what happened just now, and they could only vaguely guess that the situation just now had something to do with Leo.

Although Langenus couldn't feel how Leo's power worked, he was able to guess something from the vibrating and shaking hull, so he asked Leo: "Has it been resolved? "

Leo didn't answer, just nodded slightly, and their communication was not noticed by the shocked people around.

These people are still well-trained, and they quickly recovered from the panic, and checked Longanus's physical condition very carefully, but while doing these things, they also looked at Leo very nervously and full of doubts , obviously they didn't understand what happened just now.

It didn't take long for the officers on the ship to lead the sailors to rush over to check the situation of Langenus and Leo. Seeing that both of them were fine, they couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and then ordered the sailors to tidy up the room quickly , exited the room.

In the middle of this, the secret service security personnel tried to ask the officer what happened just now, but in the end they didn't ask anything. The officer ignored the questioning of the secret service security, but when he left, he warned the secret service What the security personnel just said is a state secret and is not allowed to be leaked. Later, someone will bring a confidentiality agreement to them for signing. Only those who sign the agreement can leave the ship.

Regarding the attitude of the soldiers of the National Taxation Bureau's anti-smuggling fleet, the security guards of the Prime Minister's Office, who have always been superior, were naturally very angry. They wanted to go to Major General Rice to make a theory, but facing the gunpoints of the soldiers guarding the cabin, they still had to retreat honestly. return.

Longanus ignored the discord between the secret service security and the anti-smuggling fleet soldiers. His attention was now on the monster outside the ship just now, so he ordered the security personnel to leave the room again, and then asked Leo Said: "What is the monster outside?"

"I don't know either." Leo shook his head, and then explained to Langenus what he saw.

When he heard that the monster's size was comparable to that of the Kraken, Longanus also showed a shocked expression, and said suspiciously: "Impossible! It is absolutely impossible for such a huge monster to exist in Lake Beruk." Monster, otherwise, rumors of huge monsters have already spread around Lake Beruk."

Leo thought for a while and said, "What if this monster didn't exist before, but appeared recently?"

"Appeared recently?" Longanus hesitated.

"For example, it was created because of a certain ritual." Leo added.

Langenus seemed to understand Leo's thoughts, and said, "You mean Emerald Island?"

Leo nodded.

Longanus thought for a while, shook his head slightly, and said: "Impossible, I know exactly what is going on in the preaching ceremony of the Baptist Church, even the set of rituals was designed by me, although sometimes it can Affect people's emotions, but it is absolutely impossible to create such a monster, and as far as I know, the sermon ceremony has not yet started..."

"I'm not talking about the sermon ceremony of the Baptist Church." Leo interrupted Longanus and explained, "I'm talking about the mysterious power hidden in Emerald Island."

Longanus had a blank expression on his face, apparently he didn't understand what the mysterious power Leo was talking about.

Leo then explained in detail what he had experienced on Emerald Island. After hearing this, Longnus showed a serious expression on his face, and at the same time, there was a little more anger.

Perhaps out of extreme annoyance, Langenus cursed a little out of composure: "Damn it, they actually hid such an important matter from me. Are those guys crazy? Do they know what they are doing?"

"You don't seem to understand what happened on Emerald Island?" Leo asked tentatively when he saw Langenus like this.

Langenus shook his head and said, "I just know that a secret department of the federal government targeting the church planned some incidents on Emerald Island, and then used these incidents as an excuse to expel church organizations in the federal territory." His tone became indignant, and he said: "I never thought that they would be so crazy that they put experimental technology that did not pass safety monitoring on Emerald Island. What's worse is that Emerald Island even hides a us Unknown mysterious power, and it was released. You are right, this monster is probably produced by that mysterious power combined with those experimental subjects and corpses that have not been recovered."

"What is the experimental subject you are talking about?" Leo asked.

"When I was on an academic visit to the Old Continent more than 20 years ago, I accidentally discovered an unknown deity site. I found that the deity seemed to have fallen, and I also obtained some remains of the deity's hair. I brought it back to the federal government, and the federal government has launched some experiments." Langenus explained seriously: "Because I am not an expert in this field, I can't get involved, so I am only responsible for checking the progress of the experiments. I am not very clear about the specific content of the experiment. Later, I had other things to be busy with and supervised, so I handed over to other people, and I did not ask about these experiments. But in recent years, I heard that some breakthroughs have been made in the experiments. The experts seem to have found some way to dilute the remains of the gods, so that the power of the remains of the gods can be dissolved into a certain potion, and then the experimenter can gain some power by taking this potion."

Hearing this, Leo frowned, carefully recalled the attackers on Emerald Island, and said: "Although those attackers are much stronger than ordinary people, they are also limited in strength, and it doesn't seem like they have gained anything." The power of the gods."

Langenus explained: "No, they should be failures that did not succeed, and you should have seen the successes."

"I've already seen it?" Leo showed a puzzled look, and soon thought of something, and said, "Is it the invisible man just now?"

Longanus nodded slightly. Said: "In fact, he is not considered a successful product, because he cannot fully control his own power, otherwise he would have been able to completely exit the invisible state just now, instead of showing that weird appearance." He paused for a while. , said meaningfully: "I remember that you seem to have agreed to research weapons for the federal government. If you can show your talents in this area, maybe the federal government will let you join the relevant projects. At that time, you should Learn more."

Leo could hear that Longanus seemed unwilling to continue talking about this matter, so he also stopped the topic in cooperation, but he also took this matter to heart, and prepared to see if he could have a chance in the future. I can't find anything useful. After all, it can dilute the remains of the gods and preserve their power, and can also be passed on to other ordinary people. This technology seems to have never been heard even in the universe. Its value is definitely not like that of Langenu. As understatement as he made it out to be.

Later, Leo and Langanus talked about their respective experiences, but when Leo tentatively asked Langanus what he unearthed in the underground ruins, Longanus would deliberately change the subject, not Willing to mention more.

At the same time, the hull on one side of the Kraken was damaged. Although the hull was temporarily balanced by the method of sealing the cabin, and the Kraken got rid of the tilting situation, the damage to the hull prevented the Kraken from sneaking in as planned. The bottom of the lake is deeper, and it can only stay at a depth of about 20 meters. Otherwise, some hidden damage will become obvious damage due to the effect of water pressure.

At this time, Rear Admiral Rice came to see Langenus in person. He hoped that Langenus could suspend the plan and let the Kraken return to the nearest anti-smuggling fleet repair dock for repairs.

However, Longanus rejected Major General Rice's request, and very seriously asked Major General Rice to arrive at the designated location within the time planned on the spot.

Langenus's request was almost rude, and he almost gambled the lives of everyone on the Sea Monster, but Langenus seemed to have a special status in the Otter Federation. After he made his decision clear, Lai Although Major General Si was full of reluctance, he didn't say anything more, as if he had compromised.

After Major General Rice left, Longnus turned to look at Leo and said, "Do you think my decision is a bit excessive?"

"I've seen even more egregious decisions." Leo didn't answer directly, but the implied meaning in his words was very clear.

Langenus smiled wryly, and said: "It's a pity that I have to go too far this time, because if my inference is correct, I can see some interesting things today. If I miss it, then I may have to wait a few more days." Ten years."

Leo could hear that Longanus should have some knowledge of the relic fragments found at the bottom of Lake Beruk, and even the source of the relic fragments, so he made such a positive judgment, but he did not ask about the specific content , because he felt that Langenus would not necessarily tell him the relevant details.

Although Rear Admiral Rice said that the Kraken was damaged so badly that it was almost impossible to carry out any missions, in fact the situation of the Kraken was not as bad as he described. After a short period of reinforcement and repairs, the Kraken began to Continue to sail, and the speed of sailing is not much slower than before.

At this moment, on the surface of the water, several gunboats refitted from fishing boats that came out of the iron gang dock were quickly heading towards the camouflaged sailing speedboat. In front of the gunboats were several smaller and faster ones. The shuttle boat fanned forward, looking for the correct position of the sail boat.

However, as these gangster ships search for their target, they don't know that they have become the prey they are targeting.

I saw that at the bottom of the water below these ships, after the monster that hit the Kraken and was injured by Leo swallowed a school of fish at the bottom, it was attracted by the movement on the water and found the ships on the water , and its special power even penetrated the hull, seeing those people walking around inside the ship.

Facing the feast on the water surface, the monster gave up other schools of fish at the bottom without hesitation, and rushed towards the nearest long-shuttle speedboat on the water surface. Its lump-like body was spread out like a Like a piece of meat cloth, when it reached the bottom of the boat, the whole piece of meat cloth rushed out of sleep in an instant, and before the people on the long-shuttle speedboat could react, it wrapped the people together with the boat and dragged them into the water. Nothing was known, not even a single ship missing from the fleet.
