The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

How did Adeline decide to use the five thousand gold shield? Leo didn't think about it. He took out the five thousand gold shield just because he felt a little guilty for involving Anne and her family in this maelstrom, so he took out the five thousand gold shield As a compensation.

As for finding bodyguards, those were just excuses. He knew that with Adeline's intelligence, she wouldn't really care about her patient's life.

The carriage drove past the gravel road in the commercial area, and soon entered the urban main road with railroad tracks, and drove towards the XC area. During the driving process, the coachman also kindly reminded Leo to take a look at the carriage. Hand-painted posters of various casino hotels in the XC area are placed on the door.

The XC district is actually not within the administrative division of Miria City. It is composed of three different small urban areas, and this urban integration has not been approved by the Miria City Administrative Council, so on the map, The XC area will still be marked as three urban districts.

Just like every city has its own dark side, the XC district is the dark side of the glorious city of Miria City.

In the minds of the residents of Miria City, Yushi District is the cancerous tumor that the whole city most wants to cut off, but it cannot be cut off for some reason.

But the XC area is the lesion that everyone clamors to clean up all the time, but no one wants to really erase it.

The three areas integrated in the XC area are the warehouse area, the factory area and the leather-making area. It is only because the exhaust gas in the factory area and the waste water in the leather-making area make the surrounding environment of Miria City very bad. Foreign ambassadors have already begun to propose whether The Continental Congress should be moved to a better place.

Therefore, the administrative council of Miria City immediately made a decision to relocate the factory and close the leather industry, and the warehouse area that relied on these two areas for survival also naturally declined.

Because this administrative decision was made suddenly, there was no follow-up urban construction plan at all, so the entire XC area was deserted for a long time, like a ghost town.

Until the land here fell to the bottom, some Miria gangsters who had accumulated a lot of cash on hand saw the opportunity and bought the land here. land.

The various gangsters who bought the land immediately began to renovate the factories, warehouses and administrative buildings whose main structures were still intact, and soon transformed it into a gold consumption nest and a city that never sleeps in Miria City.

Anyone can find what they like here. If you want a woman, you can go to the Cabin of the God of Love. If you want a man, you can go to the Knights' Territory.

If someone likes to gamble, they can go to the casino hotel renovated by large factories such as gold coins and gemstones. If someone wants to watch the bloody gladiatorial fights that have been officially extinct in France, they can go to the underground arena in the Wailou.

In addition, there is a pizza auction house that can auction anything, the Golden Street with the most complete luxury stores in the world, etc. All places that make people want to spend money outside.

Although the people who built and controlled this place are vicious gangsters, the law and order in this urban area is the best in the entire city of Miria, not even comparable to the administrative districts with various international administrative organizations.

In the administrative area, there will always be some lunatics who want to create troubles in order to become famous in the world, so the assassination incidents in the administrative area will happen once or twice a month.

But if such a person came to the XC area, before he could take any action, he would be blocked by a group of gangsters, sent directly out of the city, and then dealt with outside the city.

The reason why all the gangsters can have such efficient action is mainly because the gangsters in control of the XC district have formed a gangster council similar to the Miria City Administrative Council. Members have such a powerful force of action.

The Skull and Bones is the largest gang organization in the XC area. Nearly half of the land in the entire XC area is in the hands of the Skull and Bones. Nearly one-third of the most profitable land is owned by the Skull and Bones. The largest business card of the Skull and Bones, let the whole world know that there is a gang organization called the Skull and Bones in Miria City.

It is precisely because the Skull and Bones is so powerful that the meeting place of the Mafia Council is forcibly designated in the Skull and Bones administrative building.

The administrative building of the Skull and Bones originally belonged to the largest leather merchant in Miria City, but as the leather industry was forcibly cleaned up, the leather merchant also left Miria City, and the building was abandoned until the Skull and Bones took over. enabled.

The whole building is not high, only seven floors. It is in the shape of a ring with a garden in the middle. The most special thing is that the administrative office on the top floor is a sky pavilion composed of steel frames, inlaid with special glass, and located above the central garden. Sitting here and looking down, you can feel like a god looking down on all living beings.

The president of Skull and Bones also took a fancy to this house, so he specially set up this unremarkable seven-story building as the headquarters of Skull and Bones.

In order to strengthen the reputation of Skull and Bones, the president of Skull and Bones even imitated those international organization buildings in the administrative area, holding some open days, and letting ordinary people enter the building to visit.

In fact, doing so has indeed made Skull and Bones a lot bigger. After all, gangsters are very mysterious to ordinary people, and any mysterious thing can arouse people's desire to explore.

When Leo arrived at this administrative building, it happened to be the time for the Open Day, and it only took five Bia to visit the administrative building of the largest gang in Miria City.

Leo, who was originally planning to survey the Skull and Bones headquarters building in advance, naturally would not let go of such an opportunity to enter the interior to grasp the terrain, so he directly mixed in with the tourists and entered the interior of the building.

After entering the building, Leo felt that the interference energy force field that also appeared in the Last Crescent Villa and the black market appeared in the headquarters building of the Skull and Bones, which also made him sure that there should be many people in Miria City. He is very familiar with the affairs of the world, and has even mastered some countermeasures, just like this thing that creates a disturbing energy force field.

It's just that the interference energy field here is not to mention compared with the last quarter moon villa, even compared with the black market, it is very weak. Leo doesn't even need to inject psionic energy specifically to strengthen the spiritual network. The anti-interference ability can already shield the effect of the interference energy force field, and the only thing that needs to be paid is to reduce the exploration range by a few meters.

Tourists visit the headquarters building of Skull and Bones layer by layer, perhaps for the purpose of establishing an image. The people arranged by Skull and Bones to work in the headquarters building are all handsome men and women. In the golden nest.

After the tour guide led everyone to visit the sixth floor, he stopped, indicating that the tour was over, and led everyone back to the first floor. He did not go to the highest floor, nor did he enter the castle in the air, which made many people feel sorry.

However, for Leo, there is no regret at all. Under the kind introduction of the tour guide arranged by Skull and Bones, Leo has a clear grasp of the situation inside and outside the entire Skull and Bones building.

Although he couldn't enter the seventh floor, his spiritual network had already figured out everything on that floor, and even the secret safe built by the president of Skull and Bones was found out by the spiritual network.

Leo, who had already mastered the terrain, did not leave, but went to a small casino opposite the Skull and Bones, sat at a card table where he could clearly see the entrance of the Skull and Bones headquarters, and played cards quietly.

When he was in Anne's hospital, Leo saw from the mental memory of the member of the Skull and Bones many times the scene of the conversation between the president of the Skull and Bones and the philanthropist of the city of Miria. The able-bodied president of Skull and Bones showed great respect and obedience to Rupert Fitz.

The order to arrest Leo and the others was also an order personally issued by Rupert Fitz to the Skull and Bones member. Speaking of which, the identity of the Skull and Bones member whose memory was extracted by Leo and eventually died in Leo's hands is not ordinary. , is a senior cadre of the Skull and Bones Society, and one of the most trusted people of the Skull and Bones President.

After nightfall, luxurious carriages drove into the headquarters of the Skull and Bones Society. The cadres of the Skull and Bones Society, which are rarely seen, got off the carriages, and the men behind them moved boxes from the carriages and carried them into the headquarters building. .

At this time, all the handsome men and women who used to perform during the day left the Skull and Bones headquarters building, replaced by some burly men with various weapons on their bodies. pedestrian.

From the mental memory of that member of the Skull and Bones, Leo knew that today is the financial report day for various industries of the Skull and Bones. The president will also definitely appear in the building.

Sure enough, after all the Skull and Bones cadres arrived one after another, a specially-made large carriage drove into the front floor of the building. A burly man with a height of at least 2.3 meters stepped out of the carriage, and all the Skull and Bones The members all looked at the giant man respectfully.

I don't know if it was because Leo's eyes were too concentrated, or because the giant man was too sensitive. When he was about to enter the building, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the small casino where Leo was. , with a puzzled expression on his face, he quickly returned to normal and continued to walk into the building.

When the giant man looked back, Leo turned his gaze away. Although there was no evidence, Leo felt that the president of Skull and Bones might have sensed his malicious gaze, but this feeling was the same as a sense of crisis , just a vague feeling.

Although the target appeared, Leo did not act immediately, but continued to wait for the best opportunity.

About two hours later, the Skull and Bones cadres who had entered the building before came out one after another and got into their respective carriages. The boxes they were carrying were already left in the building.

As the carriages drove away from the Skull and Bones Square, there were fewer and fewer people in the Skull and Bones building. In the end, only the security personnel of the headquarters building remained.

At this time, Leo ended the game. Because he didn't use any psionic skills, and he didn't put his mind on the gambling table, he lost more than 2,000 gold shields in one day.

Although the game was over, he did not leave the casino, but booked a room on the street in the hotel above the casino.

It is not uncommon for a gambler like him to stay in a casino hotel after a day of gambling. The casino hotel even thoughtfully asked if he needed to arrange a woman after sending him to the room.

After sending the waiter away with ten bias, Leo entered the room, closed his eyes and rested until the early morning, then stood up and walked to the window.

This room is not facing the Skull and Bones headquarters, because the Skull and Bones also realized that the high-rise rooms of the small casino across the street may have a monitoring effect on the Skull and Bones headquarters building, so all the windows of the room on that side were sealed with bricks. Can't see what's going on outside.

The room where Leo is now is in the alley at the corner of the street. Some drunk gamblers who lost money in the casino will be sent to this alley by the casino security. Now there are a few drunk gamblers lying Sleeping soundly in the corner.

Leo opened the window directly, and jumped down from the room on the fourth floor. With a physique as high as 8 points and strength and agility as high as 6 points, the height of more than ten meters was as easy as jumping down a small step for him. .

When landing, he squatted down slightly to cushion the gravity, and then Leo stepped out of the alley and walked towards the Skull and Bones building across the street.

Although the Skull and Bones Society dominates the gangs in Miria City, no one dares to provoke them, and no one dares to cause trouble near the headquarters building for so many years, but the security inside and outside the headquarters building has not been relaxed for this reason.

There are always three people patrolling back and forth outside the building. They all have special mechanical bells hanging on their waists. Whenever they encounter something, they will immediately flip the switch. The sound of the bell will be heard by everyone in the whole building.

In the security room on each floor of the building, there are more than a dozen people on standby, at least two of them are equipped with military steam crossbows, and they will act immediately if there is any movement.

In addition, there is a huge torch on the top of the building. As long as the building is attacked, the torch will be lit. At that time, the members of the Skull and Bones in the entire XC area will be able to see it, and they will come to support as soon as possible.

When Leo was in the casino just now, he had carefully studied the attack plan. Originally, he planned to directly kill the president of the Skull and Bones Society according to his best infiltration and beheading tactics to solve this threat.

But after seeing the president of Skull and Bones himself, Leo felt that this person might not be simple, because he gave Leo the impression that he was somewhat similar to the maid with fish gills next to the old man in the villa, not that their appearances were similar. It's temperament, they all have a temperament that is completely different from others.

The decapitation tactics pay attention to one-hit kills. If you can't do this, you may alarm other people. In that case, you will encounter enemies coming like a tide in extremely unfavorable terrain.

Although Leo thinks that his current body is not much worse than that of the biochemical human body of the Earth Federation except for weapons, he is not arrogant enough to think that he can really block a thousand with one and be invincible. After the level, he will also be in danger of death.

So after he felt that he couldn't kill the president of the Skull and Bones with one blow, he changed his original plan of action and prepared to clean up all the enemies in the Skull and Bones building.
