The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Both parties in the dispute accepted Jason's proposal, and after Jason's porters opened the warehouse door, they walked into the warehouse respectively.

When these people entered the warehouse, Leo's mental net also covered the warehouse, wanting to check the situation of those people after entering the warehouse.

However, what surprised Leo was that his mental network could sense anything in the warehouse, even the gravel and dust on the ground, but only those people who went in could not be sensed, as if those people were The moment you enter the warehouse, it disappears.

But through the opened warehouse door, the figures of those people were still clearly reflected in his eyes, obviously there was something in the warehouse that could interfere with his mental network.

"Interesting!" Leo, who didn't care much about this incident before, became interested.

In his opinion, if it is just to interfere with his mental network, so that his mental network is completely unable to perceive anything in the warehouse, this kind of interference effect can also be achieved with the special psychic disruptor produced by Velen, it will not It made him too interested, but this one is different, and it seems to have a directional effect on the shielding and influence of the spiritual network.

Just when Leo was wondering what was in the warehouse, which could pass through the mental net of a fifth-level psyker, the two groups of people who had entered the warehouse before came out of the warehouse again.

It's just that, at this time, there was no tense atmosphere just now. The two parties looked at each other curiously and puzzled as if they had become strangers, and they were also curious about why they came to this old warehouse.

However, after they walked out of the warehouse and saw Leo and others, they immediately became vigilant, as if they regarded the porters watching the excitement around them as members of some gangster forces, and the person in charge of the Duke of Buckingham was even guarded by the guards. Protected in the middle, everyone took out their weapons and pointed them at the people around them to prevent any unexpected attacks.

"I'm the foreign affairs manager of the Duke of Buckinghamshire. Who are you and what do you want to do?" The person in charge stood in the security circle, staring at Jason and the others with angry eyes, and reprimanded loudly.

However, such reprimands did not arouse the fear of the people around, and the people around seemed to know that such a situation would happen, and they all laughed out loud.

The people from the special bureau obviously realized that something was wrong, and they also recognized that the leader was their colleague Jason, but they didn't put down their weapons, they just pointed them at the ground, and remained vigilant, Chao Jie Sen asked, "Jason, what's going on? Why are you here? Why are we here?"

"It seems that you have all forgotten the same," Jason looked at the person in front of him coldly, and said to the Duke of Buckingham's men who were still holding the weapon over there: "You better put your weapons away, or you will hurt my body." People, you can’t even afford to pay with your life.”

Because Jason has been using his identity and ability to recruit veterans over the years, most of the porters on the pier have been in the army and have seen blood. In addition, dragons and snakes are mixed on the pier, and brave things happen in the market. , making these porters more like gangsters than honest workers.

After hearing Jason's words, all the porters around put away their smiles and took out the weapons hidden on their bodies one after another. The crowd also vaguely surrounded the two groups of people. As long as there was any change, they would not hesitate launch an attack.

The people in the Special Bureau are not worried about the siege of these porters, and they are able to leave under the siege, but those in the Duke of Buckingham are different. people of blood.

So, the person in charge decided to take a gamble, and told the people next to him: "Put the weapon away, let's listen to him what's going on?"

Hearing the order, even though the bodyguards were somewhat unwilling, they still followed the order and put away their weapons.

Seeing this situation, Jason also raised his hand to signal everyone to put away their weapons, then walked alone between the two groups of people, and then carefully told the two groups of people what happened just now.

The two groups of people felt unbelievable after hearing this, but soon they realized that this matter might be true, because the leaders of the two groups of people found a letter from their pockets, which mentioned that they came to this warehouse to receive thing.

Although the facts have proved Jason's words, the two groups of people still have some doubts, so they picked out one person from their own staff again and entered the warehouse. After a while, the two people who entered and exited the warehouse came out again, and they also forgot What do you do when you enter the warehouse by yourself.

"This thing must be handed over to our special bureau to deal with!"

"This thing belongs to our lord the Duke of Buckingham."

Almost at the same time, both groups of people spoke out to demand the ownership of the items in the warehouse, and the dispute seemed to return to the original point.

Jason didn't have the idea of ​​reconciling the conflict between the two groups of people, and suggested to the two groups: "You don't want to deal with this matter, you can't do it either! Since you don't have the ability to solve this problem yourself, go find someone who can solve it. What's the use of staying here and arguing!"

Hearing Jason's suggestion, the two groups of people were silent for a while. They seemed to have accepted Jason's proposal. Instead of arguing with each other, they turned around and left the warehouse quickly. They thought it was impossible for Jason's people to solve the trouble here, and it was unnecessary to keep someone to look after it.

"Okay, the play is over, those who should work go to work, those who should go home!" Jason turned around and shouted at his subordinates after the two groups left, and then turned to prepare The two porters who closed the door said, "Leave it alone, open it, I'm still useful."

"Boss, don't you want to run in by yourself?" A porter immediately said with concern after hearing this: "Don't take risks, have you forgotten old Pete? What that guy lost is not a little memory ah!"

"I know, let's go!" Jason nodded, signaling his men to leave.

Seeing that Jason had made a decision, the porters didn't say anything, and left the warehouse one after another to do their own things.

Just after the porter left, Jason walked up to Leo and asked, "How is it? Can this matter be resolved?"

"I don't know yet, but it's very interesting. At least I didn't make this trip in vain." Leo smiled, then told Jason to wait for her at the door, and then walked directly into the warehouse.

After entering the warehouse, Leo didn't feel any abnormalities. After releasing the spirit net, he didn't find anything wrong. He could also perceive his position through the spirit net, which wouldn't be the same as the situation outside the warehouse. No living person could be sensed.

"What's the problem?" Leo muttered in his heart, looked around, and finally landed on the most eye-catching box in the warehouse.

The reason why this box is eye-catching is that this box is the oldest among all the boxes in the entire cargo hold. Judging from the dust accumulated on it, it has been stored for at least ten years.

The other is that the box was pried open, and it was the side cover of the box that was pried open. This is a common method used by cargo thieves at the pier, because if the side cover is pried open, it is not easy for people to notice the abnormality after the box is restored.

It's just that the side flap of the box was opened, and when the thief didn't seem to steal anything from it, but left all his theft tools next to the box, he walked away empty-handed.

This made Leo couldn't help but think that the reason for the sudden abnormal situation in the warehouse was that a thief visited the warehouse that was about to be transferred, and was about to steal something, but after he opened an old box, it triggered something inside the box. Some things made him lose his memory at that time, and he walked out of the warehouse as ignorant as before.

After making the inference, Leo immediately walked towards the wooden box, but when he got close to the wooden box, he stopped suddenly, because his instinct told him that it might be dangerous if he continued to approach the wooden box.

Regarding the warning from his intuition, Leo hesitated for a while, but finally, driven by curiosity, he chose to move on, came to the side of the wooden box, squatted down, and looked inside from the side of the wooden box.

Then, the moment he squatted down and his eyes fell into the wooden box, the surrounding scene changed immediately. He was no longer inside the warehouse, but was standing outside the warehouse, and Jason was looking at him worriedly. Ask about the situation.

"What happened to me just now?" Leo frowned and asked Jason.

"You just walked out of the warehouse like those two groups of people." Jason answered immediately, and asked worriedly, "How are you? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

"No! I'm fine and interesting!" Leo smiled and turned to look at the warehouse.

"Do you remember what you did in the warehouse?" Jason asked again.

"Remember, isn't it just to help you solve the trouble in this warehouse?" Leo replied.

It's just that this answer surprised Jason a little, because before, anyone who entered the warehouse didn't remember what they were going to do after they came out, and only Leo still kept the memory.

Leo didn't answer Jason's doubts. He quickly searched his memory while talking with Jason, and found the reason for his short-term amnesia from his memory.

Although there is no second sub-brain, some functions of the sub-brain are still preserved, such as the function of recording vision imaging, so even if he lost a memory just now, as long as his eyes are not closed, then he will lose the part of the memory. Everything that happened during the time can be recorded, even how he was recruited was also recorded.

As the images in his memory were sorted out, Leo also found the reason why he was tricked.

"Light!" Leo muttered softly.

In the memory image, Leo found that when he squatted down and looked into the box, a glimmer of light that could not be seen by the naked eye flashed in front of his eyes, and then a fault appeared in the memory.

Using light to affect the memory of creatures is already a very common thing in the Earth Federation. Except for some special mental diseases that need to erase memory, most of this technology will be used on the battlefield.

During large-scale battles, once there is a shortage of various hormonal drugs, in order to maintain combat effectiveness and combat time, the federal army will use a large amount of low light to stimulate nerves, so that soldiers can enter a state of forgetting pain, forgetting fear, and surging strength. A hypnotic state, and soldiers who enter this state will lose their memory afterwards. The army laughs at this state as madness, and calls this type of fighter a berserker.

Obviously, this light that caused Leo to lose part of his memory is very similar to the light technology of the Earth Federation, and it also contains some supernatural power, because at this time his mental network sensed a powerful wave of power appearing in the sky. In front of him, and truthful feedback and recorded.

By reading this memory, Leo also saw what was the item in the box that caused this series of abnormal events.

I saw that this pyramid-shaped metal block was placed in the box. The surface of the metal block was covered with various patterns and a large number of Turing radicals. There were four metal shelves around it that were also covered with Turing radicals to fix the metal block. mid-air.

It's just that one of the metal frames has shown signs of decay due to time, and the person who pried the wooden box moved a little too much, directly breaking a support bar of the metal frame, making the whole object lose its balance. fell to the ground, and the metal block also fell to the ground.

The memory after that was nothing to look at, and instead of taking the piece of metal, he got up and walked outside until he was back to normal.

"I've found the reason!" Leo recovered from his memory and said to Jason.

After hearing this, Jason's face immediately showed joy, and he quickly asked what the reason was.

"A special piece of metal." Leo didn't explain too much, but just responded casually.

Jason didn't care much about what this item was, so he didn't ask any further, but turned to ask what he cared about, and said, "Can you solve that thing?"

"It can be solved." Leo nodded, then shook his head before Jason spoke, and said, "But not now, I still need to make a few items."

After speaking, Leo signaled Jason to close the warehouse door again, and then walked towards the place where the carriage was parked.

The two didn't talk until they returned to Leo's apartment. Leo seemed to be thinking about something, sitting quietly on the seat and looking out the car window, while Jason was worried that he would disturb Leo, so he didn't ask anything.

After Leo got off the car, he asked Jason to pick him up in two days.

"What if the Special Bureau and the Duke of Buckingham take the things away?" Jason asked worriedly.

"Isn't it better to take it away? Your goal has been achieved, and I have saved a troublesome thing." Leo smiled, and then said: "However, I conclude that they must not be able to solve it within two days For this matter, all you have to do is to keep the control of this thing in your hands, don’t wait for me to prepare the tools, but I can’t enter the warehouse.”

"Don't worry about that, I have the final say on matters on the pier." Jason patted his chest and shouted with great confidence.
