The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"What?" The family member jumped up from the bed all of a sudden, walked in front of Leo excitedly, and quickly confirmed: "What you said is true? Can you really restrain all supernormal powers?"

"I haven't tried this, I can only feel that my strength will be completely suppressed in front of that bone." Leo shook his head, thought for a while, and said vaguely: "The strength of other people It's the same, if it wasn't for the avalanche, we might all be dead."

Leo's words didn't have much meaning, but they were enough to make the family spy think that when they were chasing and killing Earl Pipero, the earl suddenly took out the bone, and then everyone's power was restricted. Stopped, the situation reversed, and then there was a big avalanche.

"Since the effect of that bone is so miraculous, why didn't you take it away?" the family member couldn't help but questioned reproachfully.

"Because I wasn't the only one who found the bones at that time," Leo explained, then glared at the family member with an angry expression on purpose, and said, "And the rescue I wanted didn't come, sir, do you think this should be the case?" whose fault?"

Hearing Leo's rhetorical question, the family smiled awkwardly, as if changing the subject, and said, "How is Earl Pipero?"

Leo was silent for a while, and said, "I don't know, because we were all separated in the avalanche."

After hearing the words, the family members were silent for a moment, and said: "Although I'm not sure whether that bone can really restrain all power as you said, but from the reaction of the empire, at least I can be sure that this thing may not be simple."

Leo asked suspiciously: "Since we know it's not easy, why not take it away when its protection is the most lax?"

"It's impossible for the two of us to take it away. My ability can only make people within a certain range fall into a shallow dream, and there is no way to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. Your ability is only an auxiliary ability. Without weapons, Even the cavalry from the security bureau, you may not be able to deal with them." The family shook their heads and said, "And even if we got something, the headquarters didn't arrange an escape route in advance, so it's impossible for us to escape from the empire. hunted."

Leo asked back: "In this case, what do you think should be done?"

The family members thought for a while and said, "We don't have to do anything. I will contact the higher-ups to see what the higher-ups have ordered. If necessary, I will contact you."

After speaking, he seemed to sense something, and then his body disappeared like mist, and the surrounding scene collapsed instantly.

When the family member dispelled the shallow dream created by himself, some of his power inevitably leaked out, and Leo took advantage of this opportunity to capture a wave through the power of nightmare, and through the power of up and down The gap, and quickly analyzed the details of this force.

As Leo guessed in advance, the power of this family member is indeed from the same source as the power of Nightmare, both from Night God, but it is slightly different from the power of Nightmare. This difference is not a difference in grade, but more The underlying power essence, simply put, is that the power of the family members is not as aggressive as Leo's nightmare power.

According to Leo's guess, the power of this family member should come from another fragment of Night God's Sigh, someone should have obtained that fragment, gained power from it, and established a church.

While analyzing the power of this family member, Leo also gained inspiration from the method of using this power. I believe that he will be able to create a dream that can trap other people's consciousness in a short time like that family member.

At this time, Leo felt someone suddenly approaching him, pushing his body hard, and calling his disguised name.

Leo opened his glasses, sat up from the bed in an instant, put on a state of alert, and looked like he had woken up from his sleep. After letting his eyes see the situation inside the carriage, he turned towards the cavalryman from the Security Bureau who pushed him. , asked: "Have you arrived in Berukne yet?"

"No." The cavalry of the Security Bureau quickly answered Leo's question, and then said, "The baron summoned everyone to pick up the carriage."

Leo deliberately looked at the dark night outside the car window, muttered a little dissatisfied, and said, "Call everyone at this time? Is the Security Bureau so casual?"

The cavalry of the Security Bureau did not give an answer, but stood aside silently, waiting for Leo.

Leo cleaned up some wrinkled clothes, stood up, and walked out of the carriage. At this time, several cavalrymen were already standing in the carriage, and Sylvia and Colin also walked out of their respective carriages. A dazed look was revealed.

A group of people walked along the narrow aisle to the dining car in front. At this time, Baron Rudolf and the others all looked ready to fight, and their faces were very serious.

"Did something happen?" Colin felt that the atmosphere was not right, and immediately asked in a deep voice.

"We have been attacked." Baron Rudolph said, frowning tightly.

"Attack?" Colin looked around in confusion, but found no sign of an attack.

And Leo and Sylvia deliberately showed a dazed look, and turned their heads to look around.

"The attacker should have left!" Baron Rudolph explained, and then asked Colin very concerned: "Is that thing still on you now?"

"Yes?" Colin nodded, then reached into the pocket of his underwear and took out the box containing the bones. Then, under the direction of Baron Rudolph, he opened the box and saw the bone inside. Bones, and at the same time as the box was opened, the mysterious force field that restrained all supernatural powers reappeared. Because Baron Rudolf had just taken a special pill, there was a trace of supernatural power in his body, and he felt the same. .

"Does it need to be placed with you?" Colin also felt that this thing might be a big trouble, so he asked Baron Rudolph.

"No, no, leave the things with you!" Baron Rudolph shook his head repeatedly, then motioned for Colin to sit beside him, let Leo and Sylvia sit down wherever they wanted, and said, "Put the things away." , but don't close the box, don't sleep until you reach Berukne, and take out all your weapons."

Upon hearing the order, all the cavalry immediately took out their weapons and put their hands on various positions in the carriage.

Then Baron Rudolph asked his attendant to take a few people to pick up the front of the train, and asked the driver to drive the train faster.

The following night, the attack that Baron Rudolph was worried about did not reappear, and the train arrived in Berukne earlier than expected because of the speed increase in the middle.

It's just that, even though it was earlier, when the train was approaching the station, there were still a large number of people standing on the platform to meet it.

Originally seeing that the people who came to respond were from the Special Operations Department, Baron Rudolf thought it was people from the Special Operations Department who wanted to take credit, and was about to refuse the handover, but the people at the headquarters of the Security Bureau showed up and said that this operation was a joint operation After that, he handed over Colin and others to these people from the Special Operations Department.

After completing the handover procedures, the leader of the Special Operations Division and the person in charge of the Imperial Security Bureau both asked to look at the bone in Colin's hand. After feeling the strength of the bone, they tightly protected Colin. He boarded a special small airship and flew directly to the imperial capital. As for the members of the Special Operations Department disguised by Leo and Sylvia, they were handed over to ordinary agents and rushed to the imperial capital in an ordinary carriage.

After seeing the arrangement, Leo and Sylvia glanced at each other and understood each other's thoughts. It was obvious that the rhetoric they made up before had played a role. Colin was regarded as the first person to discover the bones and was specially However, the two of them were only treated as ordinary meritorious persons, which was exactly the result they hoped to see.

The only question now is whether the false memory that Leo implanted into Colin through the magic spell can be discovered?

The effect of the ecstasy technique is very obvious, and the fabricated memory is also extremely perfect, which can answer almost all normal questions, and because it is a physical implanted memory, even if there were traces of extraordinary power at the beginning, it has now been covered by that piece of memory. The bones have been removed, so it is absolutely impossible to detect any problems with any supernatural power.

But this kind of fake memory is flawed precisely because it is perfect, because his memory seems to be engraved in his mind, and all detailed questions can be answered, and ordinary people even have a deep impression on something. It is impossible to remember the details of that incident completely, so once an expert who is proficient in torture interrogates him with a purpose, he will inevitably find something abnormal.

However, Leo and Sylvia were not worried about this, because according to their estimation, after arriving in the imperial capital, all the attention would probably be on that bone, and Colin, besides asking about getting the bone at the beginning, After the process, he will be put aside, and the next time I feel the need to ask, I am afraid it will be a month later, and at that time, Leo and the others have already entered the royal treasury and stole the contract ring inside. up.

Perhaps because all the main protection personnel were on the small airship, the number of personnel used to protect Leo and the others was much smaller. In addition to Leo and Sylvia sitting in the two carriages, there were also three special operations personnel. In addition, there are cavalry from the Imperial Security Bureau outside the car.

From the point of view of staffing, it is obvious that Leo and Sylvia are only regarded as general creditors.

"You're lucky." After the carriage slowly drove up the Imperial Avenue, the person who was in the same carriage as Leo suddenly said enviously.

Leo deliberately showed a puzzled expression when he heard the words.

"I heard the news from above. That Colin will definitely be able to advance to the next level. If there is no accident, he should be transferred to a big city as a branch chief." , I saw him eloquently said: "As for you and the woman in the carriage behind are not the main contributors, but the credit that fell on you is not small, and it should be enough for you to be promoted to a level. If you are lucky, you should He will be dispatched to a big city as a supervisor, and if he is unlucky, he can also be an observer in a remote town."

"Observer?" Leo was stunned for a moment. In the information about the rank of the Special Operations Division he obtained from Colin, there was no such position as an observer.

Seeing Leo froze for a moment, the man seemed to have guessed Leo's confusion, and explained: "This observer is a newly created official position, mainly responsible for observing whether there are potential mutants in various villages and towns, because there is news above The secondary mutation is due to the dense fog that appeared on the sea surface, and judging from various situations, the dense fog will not dissipate in a short time, so the mutation will continue, and some potential mutants will suddenly mutate at a certain time, so we must Monitor these people. The observers are mainly monitoring the situation, and if there is an abnormality, they will directly notify the branch to deal with it, and there is no need to fight on the front line, so the danger is much smaller."

The person sent to protect was obviously a very talkative person. After explaining the observer, it seemed that these things were definitely inappropriate, so he didn't continue talking, and instead talked to Leo about some things in Winterrin City. matter.

Although several other members of the Special Operations Department knew what this person said, they also participated in the conversation because the road was too boring.

Soon, Leo retreated from being a talker to a listener, and while collecting a lot of information about Winterring City from the conversations of these members of the Special Operations Division, he was also subtly guiding the content of their conversations, Squeeze out the information and intelligence in their minds a little bit.

When he arrived at Winterring City in the carriage for a long time, Leo had already obtained a lot of information about Winterring City. With these materials, he had no problem pretending to be a man from the imperial capital who had lived in Winterring City for many years, and because he passed Hints and other psychological means subtly made several people in the same ride regard him as a good friend, and each left their addresses, saying that if Leo wanted to do something in Winterfell City, just go to them.

Compared with Leo's side, Sylvia's side is obviously much quieter. Those people seem to be cold-tempered, and none of them speak. Apart from asking Sylvia if she needs to eat, He never said anything else.

Therefore, when the carriage drove into the front of the office building of the Special Operations Department outside Winterrin City, and everyone got off the carriage, Sylvia saw that the people who were in the same car with Leo were very close to Leo's shoulders. , and when she patted her chest and promised to take Leo to visit Winterfell City, she almost thought that Leo used some witchcraft to confuse these people's minds.

After getting off the car, the person in charge of this office building placed the two of them in a small apartment next to the office building. This was just a temporary residence for the two of them. Then, under the arrangement of the headquarters, he lived in Winterrin City for a period of time, received training, and reassigned duties.
