The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"I also want to know the reason. I have already sent people to investigate, and there will be an answer after a while." Facing Leo's question, Lawrence Hillman, who had just returned from the outside, also had a gloomy expression. It was obvious that Leo The questions raised were the ones that annoyed him now.

Although he waited in the tent for a long time and did not get the answer he wanted, Leo didn't express his anger, but he didn't speak. He sat silently in the tent, closing his eyes and resting his mind. An invisible pressure was in the tent. form.

Lawrence Hillman looked at Leo and opened his mouth to say something, but because of some concerns, he didn't say anything in the end.

In the city of Miria, the blood wizard also has a lot of eyes and ears. Coupled with his attention to the medical school, he also invested a lot of eyes and ears in the refugee city where the medical team is located. Reciprocate to him.

In addition, Leo did not deliberately hide his whereabouts, and Lawrence had been reported to Lawrence from the moment he entered the city, so he naturally knew very well that Leo happened to break into a medical room before the sudden change of the medical team. team clinic, and stayed there for a long time.

It’s fine if it’s just an ordinary clinic. Judging from the latest feedback, that clinic should be an important experimental site, and the person in charge of this clinic happens to be known to the blood wizard, and he knows Jeff Thompson very well. His status in the medical school and his recent research projects, so he estimated that there must be a lot of important things in that clinic related to the secret incidents that the medical team was going on.

When he just came back, he got the latest news that apart from the corpses left over from the experiment, there were no other more useful things in the clinic, let alone important items such as research materials, so he suspected that all those things might have fallen by now. In the hands of Leo.

Although the blood wizard doesn't know what the medical school is researching, one thing is certain, that is, the research is definitely related to the things he was in contact with back then, and it may have achieved results, because according to the reported news, those who discovered Some of the corpses had the same body mutations as the family members.

It's a pity that this research material is now in the hands of Leo. Based on his understanding of it, it may be very difficult to easily obtain this material from the other party, and what he can use as a bargaining chip on hand is really too much. Less, and as for exchanging his own blood witchcraft for information, he felt that it was not worthwhile, so his heart was also very entangled now.

Just like that, the two sat silently in the tent, quietly waiting for Lawrence Hillman's subordinates to send over the information.

About half an hour later, there was a sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside, and then a well-dressed scavenger came in.

"Boss, I have already given the information you want..." When the scavenger was about to report the news he had heard to the blood wizard, when he saw an outsider like Leo here, he immediately closed his opened mouth, and He gestured towards Blood Witchcraft.

"Let's talk! It's okay." The blood wizard motioned for the other party to continue talking.

The scavenger continued: "The news I heard showed that most of the medical aid doctors left suddenly because the Freedom Front was investigating them and alarmed those people. After that, the medical school suddenly stepped forward to investigate The reason for these doctors to leave, and the announcement claims that these doctors have joined some underground cult organizations, using their convenience in the clinic to capture refugees and carry out certain cult activities.”

Lawrence Hillman said with disdain: "This method has been used for so many years. First, transfer people away, and then take the initiative to stand up and expose their own scandals, cooperate with the investigation, and then self-criticism. I used it in my affairs back then. I didn’t expect this method to still be used.”

"No matter how old-fashioned the method is, as long as it works." The scavenger immediately responded: "Judging from the current situation over there, it is obvious that those refugees are very fond of this method."

"What?" The blood wizard was stunned for a moment, and said: "It was not reported that those refugees became very angry after seeing the bones in the basement, and began to smash up other clinics, and many corpses were also found in other clinics. Has the medical school gotten out of hand?"

"It was like this at the beginning." The scavenger explained: "But most of the corpses found were bones with mutated bodies, so news spread among the refugees that they were used by those cult doctors for experiments. They are not human at all. Since they are not human, and they smashed to vent their anger, and the medical school actively cooperates, those refugees will not go directly to the medical school no matter how angry they are."

"Damn it, these guys are so lucky." Lawrence couldn't help cursing, indicating that this subordinate could leave, and then smiled gloatingly: "However, their good days should not be many, This incident may be used by various countries as a reasonable excuse to accept and supervise the affiliated institutions of medical schools in various countries, when the time comes..."

"This is not a loss, or the loss of the medical school this time is not big." Leo interrupted Lawrence's analysis, and said: "Actually, if there is such a thing, the governments of all countries will take back the medical institutions affiliated to the medical school." , the only difference is just how many excuses. Besides, the real loss of the medical school is not much, they just lost some research materials, and these research materials can be regained in future research trials. The person in charge of the research said that No one was lost this time, and the researched items were not lost, and we don’t know what they are researching, even the item of the Ring of Plague is also missing.”

Hearing Leo's words, the smile on Lawrence's face quickly subsided and returned to a gloomy state.

The serious-looking Leo pondered for a moment, and then asked the blood wizard: "There are more than 100 doctors involved in the research, and now the city of Miria is besieged by the imperial army, so they will not let so many people leave easily. The smuggling route on the black market is being watched by Ljungberg Viai's Freedom Front, so they want to let such a large group of people leave at the same time in a short period of time. They can only start with the railway controlled by the Imperial Army. Can you start with Investigate this?"

"Of course it's no problem," Lawrence nodded and agreed, but he suddenly changed his subject and said, "But I don't think there will be any results. Those people should have left the city of Miria, and even put the Ring of Plague in their hands." was taken away."

"Why?" Leo asked puzzled.

Lawrence walked to the table, rummaged through several documents on the table, took out one of them and handed it to Leo, and explained: "Because if I remember correctly, just a few hours ago, the smuggling fleet in the black market suddenly Three cargo ships were added. My men found that the three cargo ships were carrying people. He thought it was just a normal human trafficking. The time of leaving, and the time when the medical school suddenly came forward to admit the accident were very coincidental, so I think the people transported by those three ships should be the doctors who participated in this research."

Leo looked down at the contents of the document, estimated the time in his mind, and found that Lawrence's suspicion was reasonable, because the timing of the three was too coincidental, and past experience told him that such coincidences often did not necessarily happen. It's really a coincidence.

After putting down the documents in his hand, Leo thought for a while and said, "Your words are indeed reasonable, but if they really left from a black market smuggling ship, why didn't Ljungberg Weai stop or arrest them? With his wisdom and experience, it is impossible not to send someone to closely monitor the smuggling boats in the black market, since you can inquire about this information, how could he not know?"

"What if he deliberately pretended not to see?" The blood wizard suddenly asked a surprising question.

Leo easily understood what the other party was referring to, but he asked back as if knowingly asking: "What do you mean by that?"

"Do you believe in Ljungberg Weai that much?" The blood wizard asked clearly.

Leo frowned, and said: "Although I have only met and talked with Ljungberg Weai a few times, I know exactly what kind of person he is..."

"But people can change." The blood wizard said with an extremely serious expression: "For a long time, Ljungberg Weai has regarded Miria City as his own child and his lover. When you completely abandoned the city of Miria and set up the defense line in the south, do you know what kind of expression Ljungberg Viai looked at that time? I still can’t forget the look of Ljungberg cursing everyone in the parliament hall. Now Mili Yacheng has been completely destroyed, how much sanity do you think left for Ljungberg Weai, who loves Miria so deeply?"

Leo didn't speak, but his face became a little ugly. It was obvious that Lawrence Hillman's words had affected him.

"Ljungberg has always been cautious. After he founded the Freedom Front, he has done so many things, but no one has found any useful clues. No one even knows who joined the Freedom Front." Lawrence stood up while talking, walked to the entrance of the tent, pointed to the subordinates outside the tent, and said, "Don't talk about others, there must be people from the Freedom Front in my subordinates here, but I don't They couldn't find out. Such a person whose whereabouts were hidden so deeply was discovered by those guys from the medical school to be abnormal during the investigation, and those old guys from the medical school uncharacteristically withdrew all relevant information before any forces reacted. personnel, and have a sound response strategy in place. Is such a thing possible?"

"All your speculations are based on the fact that the people in the medical school left from the black market, but the people in the key medical school left from the railway controlled by the imperial army?" Leo quickly thought of the blood wizard's inference He retorted: "In my opinion, it is more likely that these people will leave the railway. You must know that the School of Medicine also has a great influence within the Imperial Army. As far as I know, some logistics officers of the Imperial Army even personally Buy people to transport experiments for people in medical school, so..."

Lawrence Hillman said with a smile: "Mr. Dodd, you may not know that just a day ago, the Northern Hanossa Alliance issued an announcement prohibiting the entry and exit of imperial army supplies from their land."

"How dare they do this?" No matter in the past or now, the various materials Leo collected about the Hanosian Alliance give people a weak and deceptive impression. The poor worms between the regions may be destroyed at any time.

Lawrence Hillman retorted: "Why don't they dare to do that?"

Leo opened his mouth and didn't say anything more, because at this moment, after recalling all the information about the Hanosian Alliance, he found that he seemed to have been misled. Almost all the information about the Hanosian League comes from some biased news reports, all of which without exception claim that the Hanosian League is a barbaric wasteland, and the people in the League are also a group of backward barbarians.

But in fact, the Hanossa Alliance has experienced the most powerful period of the Faran Empire since its establishment, but it has never been annexed, and has been standing intact in the northern swamp. It can be seen that the strength of the Hanossa Alliance is not bad. It's just that all kinds of information have caused some misleading.

At this time, what Leo thought of was not the medical experiment and the whereabouts of the ring of plague, nor whether Ljungberg was really related to the experiment of the medical school, nor the blood wizard's analysis with obvious provocative meaning, but Vice brain system.

For a long time, no matter in the Earth Federation or in the world of Velen, he has been very dependent on the sub-brain system. From the moment he was reborn on the battlefield, the first thing he did when he was a little safer was to use brain splitting to regenerate. Create a sub-brain, and rely on the sub-brain system so that he can integrate into this world so smoothly.

Just like this matter now, if the sub-brain system is still there, there is almost no need for his main consciousness to think too much. The absolutely rational sub-brain system will show him the list of things to analyze, and he only needs to choose from them. Choose the most likely option.

However, now that he has lost the sub-brain system, even though he still has data collection, data analysis and other abilities that are almost the same as the sub-brain, he no longer has that absolutely rational mentality, and his mentality is easily disturbed by some external factors. Make some wrong judgments and analysis.

Leo's expression at the moment misunderstood Lawrence Hillman, thinking that his rhetoric had played a role. Leo had already doubted Ljungberg, and was about to make persistent efforts to see if he could use Leo's power to investigate. When Ljungberg's Freedom Front, Leo made an unexpected move.

I saw that Leo ignored the blood wizard at all, stood up directly, walked out of the tent without saying anything, and left Lawrence Hillman alone in the tent, stunned for a long time without reacting.
