The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo didn't just pick up a book to read casually, he walked around the wall of the bookcase in the tower, and distinguished the general content of these books from the text on the cover.

The books here are very messy, and they are not arranged according to the traditional book categories, but more like random storage. Books on medicine, biology, religion, novels, etc. are all messily put together.

Careful Leo found that most of the books here are very old books, some books are even manuscripts made of parchment, but there are also some new books, for example, he saw an ancient book published seven years ago. Language Studies, this book he read from the old man Rembrandt.

If a ship loaded with books had not been shipwrecked and drifted here, so that these new books could be admitted to this library, then it is likely that this is the contact with the outside world.

However, these new books from the outside world are not what surprised Leo the most. What surprised him the most were the other dozen books, and these dozens of books did not come from the world of Velen, but from the world of dreams. When Hushang Town purchased books, it also received these dozen books.

These books are all folklore books, most of which are modified folklore from the world of Velen, which should be adapted from the books left by the ancestors of Hushang Town, but there are also some local legends in Hushang Town stories, from which one can get a general idea of ​​the situation in Laketown.

The appearance of these books can almost indicate that this city of Yam may have some connection with Lake Town in the dream world.

Leo didn't struggle with these things for too long. After he couldn't find the book he wanted, he immediately went up the second floor along the spiral staircase. The layout of the second floor was almost the same as that of the first floor. The only difference was that The monster statues on those stone pillars were replaced with statues of the same type, which were statues of pregnant women.

The only difference from ordinary statues of pregnant women is that these statues do not allow non-maternal beauty, but instead carve the face of each pregnant woman into hideous monster faces, and the skin on the surface of the pregnant woman is also carved a lot If you look carefully at the foot of the permit, you can see some reliefs in the shape of small insects, and it feels like these small insects are born by pregnant women.

After Leo climbed to the second floor of the tower, he stood at the entrance of the spiral staircase. Instead of taking a step inside, he looked around very vigilantly, holding the twin cross swords tightly in his hand.

"Invisible?" Leo said to himself, and at the same time walked to the second floor of the Stone Tower Library.

The moment his feet landed on the ground, he quickly swung the crossed long sword in both hands, and after a few flashes of light flashed in the air, he saw several blood dances appearing in the air out of thin air, and then heard several The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was accompanied by the outflow of blood, and the attacker's body was also revealed under the action of blood.

I saw four monster bodies on the ground that were cut in half by the twins. This kind of monster body would like to enlarge the version of locust, but it is not the jointed limbs like locust that support the body, but human arms. Count them There are as many as eighteen.

The monster's head looks like an octopus, but their head is much larger than the octopus, and it is transparent, and some snake-like objects swimming in their brains can be easily seen.

However, the monster's appearance is not the end of Leo's attention. After seeing the monster's appearance, Leo's eyes always fall on the monster's mouthparts. They have no mouth, but a spiked straw mouthpart , Just now they were going to sneak up to Leo's side, use this straw to pierce into Leo's head, and suck Leo's brain.

The straw-like mouthpart itself has nothing special except that it is hard and has a trace of spiritual fluctuations, but this straw mouthpart evokes some bad memories for Leo.

In a previous war, Leo's side was attacked by a special kind of Zerg. These Zergs were not only powerful, but also possessed psychic powers. At that time, his side was quickly defeated, and all the captured people They were all sucked dry by the female insects in the Zerg with the straw mouthparts.

Leo is no exception, but he is a biochemical person. Although the artificial brain was damaged when the straw organ was inserted into the brain, he still preserved the important organs such as the memory chip. He only needs to recreate an artificial brain to make up for it. times lost.

Although this did not cause irreparable damage to Leo, when the artificial brain was pulled out, the nerves of the brain and the control module were still connected, and his senses were normal, so what does it feel like to be drained of brains? He felt it all.

When he was in the Earth Federation, Leo was still a biochemical person, without any ordinary human emotions, and would not feel any discomfort for this kind of thing like a bystander. The reaction to this kind of thing is naturally different.

After suppressing the discomfort caused by bad memory, Leo was about to step forward to check the bodies of the four monsters, but after taking two steps, he quickly backed away, and continued to back away from the monsters. Several monsters.

Just when he retreated five or six meters, the big heads of those monsters burst like blisters, and at the same time, the snake-sized worms in the big heads rushed towards Leo with this force come over.

This kind of attack would not have any effect on Leo at all. With a few easy swings of the cross sword in his hand, the worms were cut into several pieces. It's just that after the worms were cut open, they immediately corrupted a puddle of mucus when they fell to the ground, and a very fishy smell emanated from the mucus.

Logically speaking, this extremely stench should make Leo feel nauseous, but for some reason, after smelling this smell, Leo felt a strong sense of hunger instead. It is obvious that the chaotic stomach sac was triggered again. The intensity of appetite this time is similar to the intensity of appetite produced by the pseudo-symbiont that Leo saw in the basement of Miria City.

However, this uncontrolled appetite came and went quickly, and when the stench dissipated, the appetite caused by the chaotic stomach sac quickly dissipated.

"It seems that the worms here are really related to the experiments at the Miria City Medical College." Leo carefully recalled the feeling that caused his appetite just now, and made a faint guess in his heart.

However, this matter did not bother him for too long, and he soon returned his attention to the books around him.

At this moment, an energy conversion lamp is on on the desk, and there are several books around it. It seems that someone should have read it here just now, and according to the current situation, the person who read these books should be It was those monsters just now.

"They should be some scholars, not warriors." Leo recalled the process of killing those monsters, and quickly made a judgment.

Although for ordinary people, those monsters that can be invisible and have powerful power are very dangerous, but for Leo, those monsters are not much different from ordinary people, and they are far from the yellow-robed men he just saw. It's inferior, so it can be seen that these monsters are not the guards of this floor of the tower, but a few ordinary mutants who are reading here. It's a pity that they were unlucky to meet Leo.

Leo glanced at the few books on the table. These books are all kinds of medical books, and judging from the newness of the paper of the books, the publication time should be the last two years, and at the end of the books Pages, and the exclusive seal of the Faculty of Medicine Publishing.

"It seems that there is a problem with the medical school." Leo naturally connected the things that the medical school has been planning in recent years with the scene in front of him, and felt that things had become a little complicated.

After pondering for a moment, Leo shook his head and dismissed the idea of ​​pursuing this matter. Instead, according to the original plan, he searched for things that might be useful to him on the bookshelves of this floor of the tower.

Compared with the messy and disorganized books on the lower floor, the books on this floor are obviously more orderly, but the books here are a bit too single, all of which are all kinds of medical books, and nearly 90% of them are related to blood. Moreover, these books are all published by the medical school, and there are even some banned books that are explicitly banned by the Vinylon countries.

Unable to find the books he wanted on this floor, Leo went up to the tower on the next floor, but when he walked into the tower on the third floor, the supergravity energy in the surrounding air gave him a warning , making his body more than ten times heavier.

Fortunately, when he was in the Earth Federation, Leo went to supergravity planets more than once to perform missions, and knew how to adapt to the external gravity on his body the fastest.

Holding the iron handle next to him, Leo stood for a while, and after his body adapted to the change of gravity, he walked into the library tube this time.

Because no monster attacked him just now while he was adapting to gravity, he judged that there were no other people or monsters in the tower on this floor.

The layout of this floor is different from the two floors below. There are no tables and chairs for visitors to read, and all those who come here to read can only sit on the ground.

In addition, there are no pillars in the tower on this floor, and there are only five bookcases. Looking at it, it looks empty.

There are no magic circles or Turing radicals in this tower, and there are no spiritual energy fluctuations around, but gravity always exists, which makes Leo think of the energy source of the parasitic person, both of which seem to be produced out of thin air Energy, no source of energy can be found.

Without trying to figure out where this gravity came from, Leo put it aside temporarily, and under the pressure of gravity, he walked slowly to those extremely eye-catching bookcases.

Leo's eyes just scanned the bookcase, and then fell directly on a metal object stored in a separate compartment on the right side of the bookcase.

Leo is very familiar with this artifact. This is the recorder on the spaceship. It is mainly used to record the route of the spaceship in the universe. It also records some conversations and important documents in the captain’s room. It has executed countless This is the first mission to go deep into the battlefield to find this kind of recorder, so he can say that he knows this thing like the back of his hand.

This recorder is not complete, only a part, but from the structure of this part and the main control chip, Leo easily recognized that this recorder is an E-bidi-19e409 recorder.

The name of this recorder was renamed by the Earth Federation. The original name was composed of an alien language and could not be read by the Earth Federation system, so it had to be renamed.

Nearly half of the commercial cargo spacecraft and small excavation spacecraft in the entire universe are equipped with this kind of recorder. It is almost impossible to judge what spacecraft it belongs to from the model of the recorder.

However, after Leo picked up the recorder, he saw the mark of the Via people on the chip. It can be seen that the recorder should come from the commercial spaceship of the Via people, which just further confirmed Leo's previous guess .

Leo carefully checked some of this part of the recorder. According to his understanding, this type of recorder itself has an interpreter, and because of the mission, he knows the decryption method of part of the interpreter. If this recorder is not a revised version If so, he can now interpret the data in the recorder.

Taking the recorder in his hand and inspecting it carefully, Leo found that the recorder had been viewed many times. Although the decryption code still existed, it no longer worked. Now the recorder is public.

After discovering this, Leo immediately moved a hidden snap button under the recorder according to the method he knew, took off the self-contained interpretation device, and hung it on the pinna, and the other end of the device was connected to the induction sticker with a wire. The recorder was pasted on both sides of the forehead, and finally the contents on the recorder were unlocked according to the decryption method.

Under the stimulation of the electron beam on the patch, a fantasy pattern similar to the sub-brain system appeared in front of Leo's eyes.

Leo was already familiar with this kind of operation, so he quickly checked the status of the recorder.

It's a pity that a lot of content in the recorder has been lost with another part of the module, and the only thing left is some galaxy maps recorded by the voyage

This part of the interstellar voyage map is not complicated, that is, many of the galaxy maps are galaxies that Leo is familiar with, but there are also many galaxies that Leo has never seen. It is also the provider of the universe's largest galaxy map database.

Among other things, the unseen galaxies on this recorder can be sold for sky-high prices if placed in the Earth Federation, but now they are just a bunch of useless data.

When these known and unknown galaxy maps were flipping through quickly and were about to be finished, a photo of a nebula with a very strange shape was sandwiched among a bunch of galaxy maps, which caught Leo's attention and fixed it in front of his eyes.

"The Devil's Nebula? It's the Devil's Nebula!" After careful identification, Leo exclaimed, because he found that this photo of the nebula was a Devil's Nebula that was designated as a forbidden area by various civilizations in the universe. From this photo, , it is obvious that the Weiya people where the recorder is located have already entered the radiation range of the Devil Nebula.
