The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"When did you disappear?" Baron Rudolph asked cautiously after hearing the news of his disappearance, instead of leaving the carriage immediately.

The cavalryman replied immediately: "Just now, he said to find something to drink, and then he didn't come back."

Baron Rudolf's expression became extremely serious. The cavalry who followed him on the mission were veterans who had experienced battles on the battlefield. Being able to make these people with a strong intuition for danger disappear showed that the attackers should be very strong.

"You guys immediately go to protect the compartments of the special operations agents." Baron Rudolph immediately gave instructions to the cavalry around him, and then turned his head to the subordinate and asked, "What is the name of the missing person? What position?"

"His name is..." The cavalryman was about to answer Baron Rudolph's question, but suddenly stopped as if his throat was stuck, and opened his mouth, as if he didn't know what to say.

Baron Rudolph, who noticed that something was wrong with the cavalry, took two steps back, winked at the attendants and other subordinates beside him, and they put their hands on their weapons, and then asked each other in a deep voice: "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you answer my question?"

The cavalry also noticed the vigilance of the people around, and immediately explained: "Me? I don't remember, I don't remember the name of the missing person? I don't remember what that person looked like? What's going on? "

Seeing the panic and fear of his subordinates, Baron Rudolph felt that something was wrong. At this time, he also thought about the team that the other party was in when he assigned the task just now, but his expression changed instantly, because he found that he seemed to have also appeared. problem.

"Do you remember how many people are in our entire team?" Baron Rudolph immediately asked the attendant beside him after noticing the abnormality.

The attendant was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Baron Rudolph would suddenly ask him this question, but he still recalled it seriously, and after he recalled it, he immediately realized why Baron Rudolph had such a reaction, and the expression on his face Full of doubts, he said: "I don't understand? I don't understand the specific number of people?"

"What about you?" Baron Rudolph immediately asked the others.

The other people in the carriage heard the sound and immediately recalled it, but their situation was the same as that of Baron Rudolf. people, but I don’t remember those who are not here, not only the number of those people, but even their names and appearances.

"What's going on here?" The attendant looked at his superior in bewilderment.

Compared to the surrounding cavalry and attendants, Baron Rudolph obviously knew more about such supernatural events. He didn't immediately panic, but immediately ordered the three cavalry to go to the compartment where the members of the Special Operations Department were placed. Bring everyone together.

However, after a long time passed, none of the three people he sent came back from the back compartment, and there was no sound. Baron Rudolph immediately walked to the door leading to the back side of the compartment and looked at the aisle behind.

Although there were lights shining in the aisle, the environment there was still dim, and he could only vaguely see three people standing in the aisle.

Those three people were very strange. They just stood there, neither talking to each other, nor continuing to walk towards the rear compartment.

Baron Rudolph stood at the door and yelled loudly towards the aisle a few times, but his voice seemed unable to reach the aisle, and the three did not respond.

Seeing this scene, Baron Rudolf also knew that something had happened.

Although the Imperial Security Bureau is not an expert in such matters, they also have ways to deal with such matters. After confirming that he has fallen into the extraordinary power incident, Baron Rudolf immediately took out a metal box from his pocket and opened it. Some pills placed inside the box are revealed.

"You..." Baron Rudolph twisted one of the pills and swallowed it, and then he was about to order others to come and take the pills, but he found that the other people who were in the same compartment before had disappeared at this moment.

At this time, the power of the pill also began to take effect, and Baron Rudolph felt an ice-like breath spreading from his stomach, distributed to various parts of his body, and penetrated into his brain.

At this moment, he felt that his mind became extremely clear, and he seemed to be able to find answers to many questions that he could not think clearly in the past. In addition, his body also possessed unprecedented strength, and he even felt that his strength at this moment could stop him from moving forward. train.

However, he is very clear that these are just illusions after taking the drug. The effect of this drug is only to allow ordinary people to obtain some supernatural power within the effective time of the drug, and to resist some supernatural powers that can affect the mind.

It's just that the pills that had helped Baron Rudolph a lot in the past failed this time. He still couldn't see other people, and he couldn't find the reason why he fell into this situation.

Although he was in a predicament, he didn't show panic. He sat very calmly on the chair in the carriage, observing all the movements around him that might be classified as abnormal, waiting for the turning point to appear, or the attacker to appear.

At the same time, in the separate compartment at the back, Leo, disguised as a member of the Special Operations Division, sat on the bed and watched the scholar-like family with glasses appearing in front of him.

The reason why Leo confirmed that he is a family member, not a mutant, is not because of any mutant organs growing on his body, but because of the power in his body.

The opponent has a power similar to the power of nightmare, but compared to the power of nightmare, this kind of power is obviously weaker and much lower, so that Leo can clearly perceive the power in the opponent's body through the imprint on the back Changes, but the other party can't perceive the power of nightmare in his body.

Leo's eyes fell on the two patterns with obvious religious characteristics on the other's sleeve, and then looked at the book in the other's hand that looked like a scripture, and he also had a judgment on the identity of this person in his heart.

First of all, it is certain that this person is definitely not from the empire, because since the emperor had the idea of ​​becoming a god, he found various reasons to expel all churches, large and small, in the empire. Some underground churches are still completely hidden outside the various towns, and most other churches have left the empire.

Under such circumstances, if someone like the person in front of him blatantly tattooed the pattern of the church emblem on his clothes, basically as long as he appeared on the street, he would immediately attract a large number of police, military police, and even the special operations department.

After excluding the empire, Leo also ruled out the United Kingdom, because if it is someone from the United Kingdom, even if they don't know about Sylvia, they can definitely receive relevant information as Sylvia. It may be so abrupt to start doing it.

After removing the two biggest guesses, only the Hanossa Alliance and Venaya Port are left.

After thinking about it for a while, Leo removed Venaya Port, a mixed gathering place for mutants, family members, and superhumans from the Vinaya Continent. Family groups, but most of those family members are bloodline family members, inheriting family members, and the objects of their beliefs have long since disappeared. They don't even know what their ancestors believed in, so naturally they will not tattoo the badges of the objects of belief on their clothes .

In this way, only the Hanossa League is left.

Although the Hanossa Alliance is dominated by the gods of the swamp, they are not particularly against other religions. As long as it is not the kind of church that shouts for the destruction of the world and the sacrifice of living people every day, the Hanossa Alliance is here. Those who do not refuse, allow these churches to live in the swamps surrounding the Hanosian Union.

Therefore, before Venaya Port became a sanctuary for the family members, the Hanossa Alliance was the first choice for these underground churches and family members.

Although the Hanosian Union has always appeared in the eyes of all countries as a vassal state of the French Empire among the countries of the Vinylon world, and has rarely done anything in international affairs, it is almost invisible, but this does not mean that the Hanosian Alliance The Nossa Alliance has no ambitions.

From the details of how they absorbed the refugees who escaped from Miria and other places during the split war of the French Empire, and prepared the alliance army on the grounds of preventing the war from spreading to the alliance, it is enough to see that they are actually very Want to do something in that war.

However, they obviously underestimated the ruthless means of the Faran Empire, and they would directly destroy the entire city of Miriya. All Miriya refugees were treated as their experimental products, so that the Hanossa Alliance had nothing to gain from it. Opportunity for profit.

Moreover, even if the Hanosian Alliance was not intimidated by the methods of the Faran Empire, and recruited refugees as they envisioned, and sought opportunities to annex a large area of ​​the west coast including the city of Miria, then the previous world turmoil caused The big mutation will definitely make the Hanossa League the second city of Miria.

Although the Hanossa Alliance still regards itself as a vassal state of the French Empire, but with the United Kingdom of France gaining a firm foothold and stalemate with the French Empire, it must no longer be satisfied with its current status. It became a matter of course for the empire to send spies and the like.

"You are calmer than I expected." While Leo was guessing the identity of the other party, the other party seemed to be observing Leo, and thought he already knew something about Leo, so he closed the book in his hand and said, "Look It looks like an earth-shattering avalanche, but it has made you grow a lot."

Hearing the other party's words, although Leo's face was calm as usual, he already had a bad guess in his heart.

Seeing that Leo didn't want to talk to him, the other party didn't get angry, but smiled and said, "Don't blame me for not going to save you, I was delayed by other things at the time, and such a big avalanche, I also I don’t think you can survive, so I didn’t plan to rescue you. You should be very clear that this is the rule, and I hope you can abide by this rule in the future. If you feel that I can’t be saved, even if you receive my signal, don’t Come save me."

At this moment, Leo was sure that the member of the Special Operations Division he was pretending to be was a spy, and he felt an urge to curse someone. Originally, when he chose to disguise his identity, he chose to avoid trouble, so he found someone who had no identity background and was also a spy. It's impossible for someone who is troublesome to pretend to be, but I didn't expect that there would be such a troublesome identity.

Although he cursed again and again in his heart, Leo's face was still very calm, and he asked in a cold tone, "Why are you taking the risk to see me now? Aren't you afraid of revealing my identity?"

The other party curled his lips and said: "There is a risk of exposure, but if you don't contact you to understand the situation at this time, if you want to contact you again, you will have to wait a few months, and then we will know the situation. I can't even get in."

Leo had spoken too much and exposed his identity, so he asked directly, "What do you want to know?"

"What did you grab from Count Pipero? Why is the empire so nervous?" The other party immediately became serious and asked.

Leo originally wanted to tell the other party the answer directly, but after hearing his words, he decided to endure it and took the opportunity to extract some information from the other party, so he asked back: "Is the empire nervous?"

The other party nodded, and quickly said: "After the news from your side reached Donglin City, Donglin City immediately changed the order to deal with you, from arrest to protection, and also emphasized that you must protect Good thing in your hands. In addition, the two hostile departments of the Security Bureau and the Special Operations Department have specially formed a team to go to Berukne for this matter. As long as the train stops, they will protect you and go to Winter City, this is the first time I have seen these two privileged departments being so nervous. And the strangest thing is that although they are very nervous about this matter, the people they send are all knights from the two departments. These knights are not those titled knights, they are real knights, the kind of knights who study swordsmanship and riding skills."

Leo was not surprised by the other party's words. He knew why the people sent by the empire were knights, not those with extraordinary power, because under the action of that bone, any extraordinary power would be banned. The strength of the body can be used normally. If some people with extraordinary power try to intercept them, they only need to open the box that seals the bones, then a knight who is proficient in swordsmanship can definitely cut down any intruders like mowing grass under such circumstances.

After understanding this, Leo did not tentatively ask for more information about the empire or the other party, but told the other party the answer directly, saying: "That strange object is a bone, and that bone can prohibit all supernatural objects within its range of action. the power of."
