The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After the people from the blacksmith shop left, Leo felt that things might not go so smoothly. Maybe he should consider other ways to enter the Green Emerald area. It doesn't matter even if those methods will cause some turmoil, it's better than waiting here with nothing to do.

So, without any concealment, he asked the supervisor of the hotel directly about the Green Jade guide, and he did not conceal his distrust of the blacksmith's formation of the caravan this time.

Because he was still the subject of key surveillance, the hotel supervisor also immediately reported his inquiry about the guide to the senior management of the blacksmith shop, but the senior management was busy with other more important matters and did not respond.

That night, Leo's feeling was fulfilled, some kind of assassin appeared again, this time he assassinated the new chiefs and bosses who are now stabilizing the big forces in the city, and by the way, even the prestigious and powerful leaders of these big forces All were assassinated, and only a few escaped.

This time the assassination was not as secretive as the last time when Kit and others were assassinated. No one knew about the assassination process. From the beginning of the assassination to the end of the assassination, there were people covering up and others cooperating. It can be seen that these assassins all belong to the same force, and it is a very large force.

Normally, with so many people participating in the assassination, one or two participants should be able to be caught, and then they should be forced to find out who the source of the assassin was. There is also no clue as to the origin of the assassins.

However, some smart people speculated that the two assassinations were not done by the same group of people, because the methods of the two assassinations were completely different, and the ability of the people responsible for the assassination was also very different. It is no exaggeration to say that the first assassination of those Any one of the assassins of the leaders of the big forces can be regarded as the top assassin in the entire world, not to mention assassinating the leaders of those forces in Hongtu City, even the bishops of various churches and other senior clergy are not difficult.

On the other hand, the people who were assassinated for the second time relied entirely on the cooperation of their companions and internal and external cooperation to complete the assassination, and the assassination technique was extremely rough. for.

It's just that things like clues about the assassin have been quickly forgotten, because with the perfect completion of this mass assassination, the situation in Hongtu City, which was already on the verge of collapse, was completely disrupted.

Because the first row of big forces that had just stabilized the internal situation of the assassination this time really fell into a situation of no leader. From the top leader to the middle leader, all died, and the rest were some bottom leaders. There is no one in the organization who can convince the crowd, and everyone is coveting the position of leader. Driven by ambition, the sharp knives in each other's hands are turned towards their former companions.

The internal collapse was second, and what was more important was that the leaderless and civil strife made the midstream forces in Hongtu City see further possibilities, so the chaos that swept the entire Hongtu City erupted in an instant.

The blacksmith shop is located in the outermost urban area of ​​Hongtu City. This is the place with the most power in the midstream. Before anything happens, the blacksmith shop can easily suppress these midstream forces and fully control the decision-making power in this circle of urban areas. But now the group has no leader. The blacksmith's shop became a piece of fat, and countless hungry and thirsty wolves couldn't wait to pounce on it, tear it up, and eat its body.

More than a dozen large and small forces besieged the city where the blacksmith shop was located, and after a short period of infighting, the people in the blacksmith shop seemed to have reached a tacit understanding and began to cooperate with each other to resist the siege of those forces. The place where it was built had already considered the situation of being besieged, and defensive walls were built in the controlled area, but these defensive walls were not enough to stop these ambitious forces, and even if the people in the blacksmith shop had enough Weapons, but not enough food, as long as those forces involved in the siege can persist, it will not take long, even if the defensive wall of the blacksmith shop is not broken, the people in the blacksmith shop can only surrender.

This is still the situation in the outer urban areas. There are not many ambitious and powerful mid-stream forces in this urban area, while the inner urban areas of Hongtu City have a large number of mid-stream forces that are not weak. Those big powers in China may be a little insufficient, but they will not be too weak, so when the internal strife of those big powers forms, these midstream powers can't wait to attack them.

Moreover, in order to prevent foreign aid from breaking in and affecting the situation, the gate to the inner city was closed or even blocked at the moment of action. The situation in the inner city is completely unknown.

As one of the properties attached to the blacksmith shop, the hotel where Leo was located was naturally looted when those forces attacked the blacksmith shop, but it was not the mid-stream forces in the city who looted it, but the people living here guests.

Those guests living here are all desperadoes and wanted criminals who came here to take refuge. They originally planned to live here for a while, looking for opportunities to join Hongtu City, but the situation in Hongtu City has taken a turn for the worse these days, and it was already enough The chaotic situation in the city has been completely out of control after the two assassinations. Naturally, they lost the idea of ​​joining Hongtu City, and became malicious, so they just grabbed a fortune nearby and fled the city. People in Hongtu City's attention is no longer something that desperadoes like them who take one step at a time can consider.

The hotel ransacked by these desperadoes and wanted criminals can be described as a mess. The people who worked here either died or fled. All the things that could be robbed were robbed, but there was still a place in the hotel. The place is unusually calm, this is the garden villa where Leo lived, and the corpses around the garden are like warning signs telling latecomers that people here should not be messed with.

After the Red Earth City fell into chaos, Leo knew that his previous plan had failed. He had only two choices, either to find a reliable guide in this chaotic city, or to go directly to the Green Emerald City without a guide at all. In the region, it is a big deal to solve the conflicts that may arise by yourself, and it is not difficult to change the owner of the Green Jade region if necessary.

However, before Leo made a decision, a wave of energy suddenly came from the surrounding area of ​​Hongtu City, which made Leo change his mind, and decided to stay in Hongtu City for a few days to see what the chaos in Hongtu City was. who is behind the scenes.

The reason why Leo became interested in the abnormal chaos in Hongtu City was entirely because of the powerful energy fluctuations that penetrated the inner city wall, and that energy fluctuations caused a sympathetic reaction to the God's Punishment Mark on Leo's body, so making The people with this energy fluctuation are definitely members of the Justice Church, and they are priests with a very high status in the Justice Church.

Since the justice of the gods was injured by Leo over the castle of the Belmont family, the strength of the entire Justice Church has been in a state of contraction and defense. Even some reclusive ascetic monks were called up again to guard several major temples to avoid being attacked by the hostile underground church of evil gods.

In fact, their approach is indeed correct, because after learning that the righteousness of the gods will fall into a deep sleep for a long time after being injured, some churches of evil gods who have long been hostile to the church of justice have coincidentally launched attacks against churches of justice in some cities. Some sanctuaries were destroyed in the attack, while others survived.

Although such an attack will not hurt the Justice Church, it has also greatly affected the reputation of the Justice Church to a certain extent, making the Righteous Church's right to speak in the Church of True God gradually weakened. The church has also become restless.

According to Leo's thinking, judging from the current situation of the Justice Church, it should continue to maintain the shrinking strategy. Only when the justice of the gods recovers and wakes up, the Justice Church can regain their due glory and rights.

But the energy fluctuations that erupted in the Red Earth City now made Leo feel puzzled. He wanted to know what role the Justice Church played in this chaos in the Red Earth City. The magic of justice that generates energy fluctuations contains the divine power of justice. The person who casts this magic is definitely a bishop-level clergy who has received the blessing of justice, and in such a special period now, such a clergyman appears in the red earth city , Leo was very curious. If necessary, he would not mind destroying the plan of the Justice Church. After all, the relationship between the Justice Church and him is an irreconcilable mortal enemy.

Leo, who was in a decision, did not stay in the hotel, and left the hotel directly, climbed over the inner city wall, entered the inner city without a sound, and rushed towards the source of the energy fluctuation.

The outer city of Hongtu City is already very chaotic, but compared to the chaos in the inner city, the chaos in the outer city is obviously much worse. On the streets of the inner city, you can see gangs of people fighting each other at any time. All kinds of shrill screams could be heard in the buildings on both sides, and everyone was obsessed with fighting, as if the purpose of their existence now was to kill all hostile living creatures.

"Something's wrong!" Leo immediately sensed something was wrong from these crazy killers, followed him and directly knocked down a stranger who tried to attack him, and then checked the situation of this person through the mental network , and the result fed back after the mental network scan made him a little surprised, because he found an implant in the head of this person, and it was an implant that was undergoing mutation.

With doubts in his heart, Leo caught different people on the road. He found that some people had implants that were mutating, while others did not. It was greatly affected mentally, it seemed that the person with the implant was producing a kind of mental force field, and all ordinary people in the force field would fall into the crazy killing just like him, unable to extricate themselves.

Almost at the same time when the implant was discovered, Leo also discovered that in many places in the city, there were some people hiding in the dark who were quietly recording everything that happened around them, and some of them even dragged several corpses into it. Go to the surrounding buildings for dissection, the dissection position is the head, and what they check after dissection is the brain implant.

What's more important is that these people who secretly recorded the situation of the besieged city in Hongtu City are without exception some senior clergymen and paladins of the Justice Church, and the people who lead these senior clergymen are the source of energy fluctuations that Leo is looking for , this person should be the archbishop of the Justice Church, but Leo has never seen this archbishop.

Because he has become a deadly enemy with the Justice Church, Leo specially found the high-level materials of the Justice Church, in which there are portraits of all the high-level members of the Justice Church, but the archbishop who can only record everything from the clergy of the Justice Church It didn't appear in the portraits he saw.

Leo didn't think it was because the information he had found was incomplete. You must know that the Belmont family provided the information. There may be some mistakes and omissions in the information they collected, but it is absolutely impossible to miss an archbishop of the Justice Church.

In his doubts, Leo didn't rush forward to find out, but hid himself like a bystander, secretly observing every move of these justice church clerics.

He soon discovered that the clergy of the Justice Church would deliberately design to stir up disputes again when some disputes subsided, causing some people to fall into the fight again, and then continued to record the situation of these people.

Undoubtedly, from this point of view, the Justice Church must be the maker of the turmoil in Hongtu City, but it is not known whether this maker is the only one or one of them.

However, Leo personally guessed that the Church of Justice should not be the only mastermind of this turmoil, because the implant is not a product of the Church of Justice. clue.

In any case, the Justice Church has turned Hongtu City into a testing ground, and judging from various circumstances, this testing ground has been set up for more than a day, because there are so many people implanted with implants, not a day or two What can be done will take at least a few years or even ten years.

What puzzled Leo was that the riots in Hongtu City seemed to have been launched hastily, because his mental network scanned some people whose implants were still in the larval stage and had not fallen into the mutation. Obviously, now is definitely not the last time Good time to experiment.

As time passed, Leo did not find any other new clues from the actions of these clergymen, so he decided to arrest the archbishop of the Justice Church and interrogate him directly.

But just as he was about to make a move, the unintentionally exposed tattoo on the body of a clergyman of the Justice Church who was attacked caused him to temporarily stop his hands and return to the state of secretly observing.
