The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Just when Joan activated the implant and gained the power to see the real world, the empty stone house disappeared in front of his eyes, and he suddenly found himself on an extremely huge stone platform .

This platform seems to be suspended in a void, the sky and surroundings are all dark, and that kind of darkness does not know the darkness of the night, but an indescribable deep darkness, long-term gaze will produce a feeling of being sucked out by the soul General illusion of the body.

On the platform, towering obelisks are erected, and a crystal emitting a strong light is suspended on the top of the obelisk, and these crystal lights illuminate the platform, and at the same time, they are placed like barriers The surrounding darkness permeates.

Under the obelisk, the stone floor was neatly divided into grids, and a large metal table was placed in those grids. Many of the tables had a person lying on them, and some of them had turned into corpses. Some people are still alive, and there are some mechanical tentacle-like devices around the sitting postures, and these devices are controlled by some strange monsters.

Joan soon discovered that these monsters were not the monster phantoms he saw through the power of the implant, but real monsters.

When I saw these monsters, these monsters also discovered him, and all of them looked at him in unison.

A strong sense of crisis arose in his mind, causing him to instinctively react to save himself, stop activating the implant, and exit the state of being able to see the real world.

However, his movements were obviously slow. Not far from him, a tall monster with a tentacle head and a height of three meters had stretched out its long arms that could easily touch the ground and grabbed him. , and before the power of his implant completely disappeared, the suction cup palm composed of more than a dozen slender fingers had already grasped his arm.

When the power of the implant was blocked, Joan instantly left the platform and returned to the stone house where the upper was located, but not only him, but also the tentacle monster that grabbed his arm would come.

Before the monster understood what was going on, Petunia, who was waiting by the side, had recovered from the shock, and took out a bottle of special potion from the hanging bottle at her waist in a well-trained manner. The monster that appeared threw it hard.

Unsurprisingly, the potion bottle hit the monster, and the special thin glass of the bottle shattered instantly. The liquid inside met the air outside and immediately evaporated into mist, filling the entire room.

Before the mist filled the room, Petunia had already drank a bottle of antidote and quickly retreated to a safe place. As for Joan, she didn't immediately step forward to save him from the monster's grasp.

When the mist filled the entire room, they heard two dull heavy objects falling to the ground. After the mist reached its peak concentration, it didn't last for too long and dissipated quickly. Petunia could also clearly see the people in the room. Condition.

I saw that the huge monster had been stunned by the power of the potion at this moment, fell to the ground and fell asleep, and under it was Joan who was also stunned.

Petunia immediately stepped forward and dragged Joan out from under the monster, then took out a bottle of antidote and poured it into Joan's mouth, and immediately asked after seeing Joan wake up from his lethargy. : "What happened just now? Why did that monster suddenly appear next to you and still grab your hand? Fortunately, I have received special training from the teacher and I was not scared, otherwise..."

"Monsters, yes, monsters! I saw a lot of monsters." Joann hadn't recovered from the side effects of the drug at first, and didn't understand what was going on, just like someone who was forcibly woken up from sleep With a dazed face, he didn't remember what happened just now when he saw the monster in front of him, and said quickly: "There are still many monsters on that platform, which are connected to that platform, and they may come back here at any time. You can’t bring it here, you have to leave immediately!”

Penny didn't quite understand Joan's words, but she knew that Joann's power could allow him to see things that ordinary people couldn't see, so she didn't ask Joann to explain in more detail, but followed Joann's suggestion and stood up Come ready to leave.

"Wait!" Joan stopped Penny, then pointed at the monster lying on the ground, and said, "Take it back too, and show it to Mr. Leo."

Hearing Joan's proposal, Petunia nodded, and directly used the skill of controlling objects to lift the monster from the ground. Although the interference force of the stone house also had some impact on the spiritual power, it was not like the spirit net. It was so strong, but much weaker. Under this kind of interference, Penny could lift a three-meter-high monster with ease through psionic skills.

The two left the stone house quickly, and found a carriage with shoe uppers near the stone house, stuffed the monster into the carriage, and didn't pretend to be a member of shoe uppers, so they jumped directly into the driver's seat of the carriage and drove the carriage , heading out of the shoe upper fortress.

Compared with the process of entering the upper station, leaving the upper station is much easier. Those stationed outside the high wall of the upper station saw the carriage driving out of the station, and then saw the carriage clearly through the lantern hanging on the carriage. The badge on the upper of the shoe let it pass easily regardless of whether the driver on the carriage was one of his own, until the carriage completely drove out of the warning area arranged by the upper of the shoe, and did not encounter any obstacles.

However, on the way they left the shantytown, they almost encountered a car accident, because there was only one narrow and winding road from the city to the shantytown, and at a corner, a double-storey shanty blocked Joan's life. The line of sight was also blocked by the carriage on the opposite side of the road. The two carriages met at the corner and collided directly.

Fortunately, Petunia reacted in time and forcibly twisted the direction of the two carriages through her psychic skills, which just happened to cause the two carriages to drive past each other, and the accident did not happen.

After criss-crossing, the carriage stopped under the control of the driver, and the people in the carriage came down in messy clothes, cursing loudly. Obviously, the violent movement of the carriage just now caused the people in the carriage to be hit and injured. Got a little injury.

Joan, on the other hand, did not stop the carriage, still controlled the reins, and let the carriage continue to move forward, but Petunia, who was sitting next to her, turned around, stretched out and cast, and looked at the situation of the carriage behind the carriage, and she saw the man from The person who got off the carriage immediately shrank his head back, and whispered to Joan next to him, "It's Staff."

Hearing what Penny said, Joan immediately accelerated the speed of the car and drove away from here. He could guess that Stave must have gone to the upper of the shoe, so what they did on the upper of the shoe will be discovered soon. Before Staff's people started searching the city, they sent the monsters in the carriage to Leo, and then disposed of the carriage and all traces they left behind.

Because it was late at night, the road conditions in the city were very good, there were no people and no carriages, and the carriage driven by Joan soon arrived at the city where Leo's apartment was located.

It's just that they didn't go directly to Leo's apartment, but slowed down the speed of the car, and drove the carriage into a dark alley behind Leo's apartment with no one passing by and no lights, and passing by They didn't stay behind Leo's apartment either, but Penny held up the sleeping monster in the carriage through psychic power, jumped off the carriage together, and then the monster moved to the shade of the roadside trees.

In this way, even if the people in the houses on both sides of the road hear the sound of a carriage rolling over the stone slabs on the road, they will only think that a carriage is passing by here, and they will not think that something is coming down from the carriage.

When Joan went to deal with the carriage and eliminate the traces, Penito held the monster and entered Leo's apartment through the back door. Without disturbing the servants in the apartment, he went directly to the study room where the light was still on, and knocked on the outside of the study room. knock on the door.

"Come in!" Leo's voice came from inside the door.

Penny opened the door and walked in, only to see that Leo was not asleep, but was sitting by the stove, flipping through an academic version of the history of religions in mainland China, and Sylvia was not in the study, it should be to her Those underground intelligence organizations that controlled took care of things.

And when Leo saw the monster behind Penny holding up the monster with psychic power, a little surprise appeared on his face, but the surprise didn't last for too long, and then subsided, followed him to stand up, and motioned Penny to put the monster on the ground. On the floor, and then stood beside the monster, looking up and down, with a look of memory in his eyes.

"Have you ever seen this kind of monster?" Penny asked speculatively after seeing the expression on Leo's face.

"Monster?" Leo looked at the ignorant and fearless Penny, smiled, and said, "He's not a monster. He should be an intelligent race that is higher than human beings in terms of life form."

"Smart race? It?" Petunia pointed to the monster on the ground in surprise. Obviously, this was quite different from the smart race in her impression.

Leo said slowly: "The name of his race is Nuodahan, which means son of water in their own language. They live on a special ocean planet, and the entire planet has evolved more than fifty different types. In the end, they became the only one, and their race also evolved into a unique advanced civilization in the universe."

"Planet?" Penny had learned this word from Leo, and knew what it meant, so she said in surprise, "This monster comes from a star civilization?"

"Yes." Leo nodded, and didn't continue to talk about the Nuodahan people, but he quickly sorted out and recalled all the information about the Nuodahan people in his mind.

As Leo said, the civilization created by the Nordhan people is a high-level civilization in the universe, and it is not accessible to a medium civilization like the Earth Federation. What's more, the Nordhan people have come into contact with other civilizations in the Earth Federation. The alien civilization had disappeared from the universe before. As for why the Nordahan civilization disappeared, there was no accurate answer until Leo died in battle.

Although the Nordahan civilization disappeared, the products of Nordahan civilization are still used by other civilizations in the universe, especially the Earth Federation, a medium-sized civilization that needs water to change the climate of the colonial planet.

The people of Nordahan invented a planet transformation device, which can create oceans on a barren planet with suitable gravity, and then change the environment and climate of the planet through the oceans.

However, after the Nordahan civilization disappeared, no one understood the manufacturing principle of it. In the end, other advanced civilizations produced an imitation that was much less effective. A more advanced intermediate civilization has rented three of these planet transformation devices, and with these three devices, the Earth Federation has saved hundreds of colonial planets whose environment is deteriorating and declining.

Therefore, for quite a long time, the Earth Federation has been collecting information about the Nordahan people. It does not say how much the Earth Federation worships the Nordahan people, nor is it because of the fact that the three devices saved the colonial planet. As for Aiwujiu of the Nuodahan people, their main purpose of collecting data is to try to analyze some of the civilization technology of the Nuodahan people from the data, so as to study the manufacturing methods of those transformation devices. After all, they rented three devices The cost is too huge, and even a medium-sized civilization like the Earth Federation will not be able to bear it after a long time.

It is a pity that until the time when Leo died in battle, the Earth Federation did not research any useful content, and even heard that a device was damaged because of the research, which has evolved into an extremely serious diplomatic incident, and even more May develop into a clash of two medium civilizations.

It is precisely because the Earth Federation attaches great importance to the Nuodahan people that there is a large amount of information about the Nuodahan people in the federal database. These materials are some information that can be made public, such as the appearance characteristics of the Nuodahan people, such as civilization Shape and so on, that's why Leo was able to recognize his origin at the first sight when he saw the monster brought by Penny.

If it is in the Earth Federation, with this living Nuodahan, he can change to a colonial planet from the Earth Federation. Everything in the Earth Federation Nuodahan represents wealth, but now, this Nuodahan People are just a nuisance in Leo's eyes.

Leo checked the Nordahan man and confirmed that his vital signs were normal, but he fell into a deep sleep under the action of the medicine, and he didn't have any positioning devices or abnormal energy characteristics on his body. Then he asked Petunia that they should go to the shoe upper station to carry out the investigation. What exactly happened during the mission, and why did he bring back a living Nordahan.

Facing Leo's inquiry, Penny also sorted out her speech, and then explained in detail how they went to the shoe upper station.

Leo didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after hearing the decision of the two of them outside the stone house, he couldn't help being stunned. Leo never thought that these two guys would make such a decision. They went to investigate the shoe upper station to find out the source of interference in the stone house, but in the end they actually slaughtered the people in the shoe upper station. way of thinking.
