The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Just like yesterday, Anne's hospital is still very busy, but Adeline is relieved, because the patients who come are all patients who have been seen yesterday, and there is no need to re-diagnose and treat, as long as the newly made pills are handed over to the patients. up.

When Leo arrived, Adeline just sat down, holding a newly arrived adventure novel written by Sylvia Belmont and looking at it.

She didn't know why grandma Annie hated Sylvia Belmont so much, as long as it was her book, she would throw it into the stove and burn it, which made her lose a set of extremely precious rare editions of Adventures in the Valley of Gold.

Normally, she would never bring Sylvia Belmont's novels to the hospital, but recently Anne was not in the hospital, and seemed to be busy with other things, which just saved her from worrying about the books being burned.

And more importantly, when she just saw the key point yesterday, the plot in the book made her inattentive to work all day. So as not to keep wondering if Sylvia has stolen the gem from the Valley of Gold.

However, God is doomed not to want Adeline to see the following plot smoothly. When her eyes just fell on the book, Leo pushed the door and walked in from the outside.

"They're fine, they're fine." Adeline put down the book reluctantly, and said directly to Leo.

Leo shook his head and asked: "I'm not asking Nelson and the others, I just want to ask if there is a woman named Emily who came here to look for me today. She is about this tall, with brown curly hair and a small round face. Freckles on the face and dark blue eyes."

While gesturing, Leo described Emily's appearance in detail.

"Oh! So you like this kind of woman." When Leo described Emily's appearance through the photo image of the sub-brain system, Adeline obviously misunderstood, and smiled at Leo as if I understood smiled.

Leo didn't explain, just looked at Adeline quietly.

Not seeing the desired reaction, Adeline curled her lips in boredom, then shook her head, and said, "No, all the people who came to the hospital today are residents of Red House Street, and I didn't see any new faces."

"Are you sure?" Leo frowned.

"Of course." Adeline nodded very positively.

"This is weird!" Leo muttered, he clearly remembered that he mentioned to Emily about investing in a flower shop, and the other party's attitude was so excited, it was as if she had fulfilled her lifelong dream, But now that the opportunity came, she didn't show up, which was really unreasonable.

"I'm afraid something happened!" Leo felt an indescribable feeling of ominousness, frowned and walked out of the hospital quickly, stopped a carriage immediately, and ordered to go to the barrel alley.

Soon the carriage drove to the entrance of the barrel alley, Leo got out of the car, because he didn't know where Emily's residence was, so he was about to grab a child playing around and let him lead the way, but at this time He saw a lot of people gathered in front of the alley, and it seemed that something happened, and the ominous feeling in his heart reappeared.

Leo walked over quickly, pushed away the crowd and entered inside.

I saw that in front of a very ordinary three-story apartment building, the police had blocked the entrance, and people around were discussing what happened.

"It's so pitiful, the whole family is dead!"

"Her husband died so badly, I heard that the skin was pulled out!"

"Did you offend the gang?"

"Didn't her parents live in Yushi District?"

"I heard that I came to see my daughter yesterday, but I didn't expect..."

Hearing this, Leo could vaguely speculate that the family that had the accident was Emily's family, but he still needed to confirm it. He asked a spectator beside him, "Is the family that had the accident called Emily?" ?”

"Yes, you know Emily?" The man answered while looking at Leo's clothes, feeling that Leo didn't look like a person from a civilian area.

After getting the confirmed answer, Leo stepped forward, and when the police stopped him, he said, "I know the person who had the accident, and I want to go in and have a look."

The policeman blocking the way looked at the troublemaker in front of him with displeasure, and said, "Everyone here knows this family, if everyone wants..."

"I also know your Chief Inspector Ljungberg." Leo said calmly.

"You..." The policeman froze for a moment, just about to say something.

"Let him in." At this moment, a voice came from the apartment building, and Ljungberg came out from the dark corridor of the apartment building, looked at Leo, and said, "Come with me!"

Leo pushed aside the policeman in front of him, followed Ljungberg, walked into the apartment building, and walked up the creaking wooden stairs to the second floor.

Ljungberg, who was leading the way, said as he walked, "Someone saw the victim being driven back to the entrance of the alley in a carriage last night. That person couldn't be you, could it?"

"The victim?" Leo didn't think about anything else, but was stunned, and asked in a deep voice, "Is Emily dead?"

"Not dead, but almost dead." Ljungberg walked into an apartment on the second floor guarded by the police.

Leo followed in, and saw that the walls of the room were smeared with blood, and a skinned man was nailed to the wall. In front of the man, a group of elderly couples had their eyes gouged out, The tongue was cut out, the spine of the neck was gouged out, and then made into a penitent posture.

Although the scene in front of him was bloody, it was just a small scene for Leo. He didn't care about these things at all, but turned to Ljungberg and asked, "Where's Emily?"

When he came in, Ljungberg had been observing Leo's expression, obviously he regarded Leo as a suspect.

However, this time he wanted to confirm whether Leo was the murderer, it was much more difficult than that time in the park, because Leo didn't show any emotion at all.

After seeing this bloody scene, Leo showed neither the excitement and excitement that a murderer would have, nor the disgust and panic of ordinary people. He was completely emotionless as if watching some ordinary things.

Although he couldn't tell from Leo's performance that he had any connection with the murder in front of him, Ljungberg could be sure that the guy in front of him was definitely a scary guy.

After hearing Leo's inquiry, Ljungberg hesitated for a moment, and took Leo to the room opposite the murder scene.

I saw Emily lying on the bed with a pale face, unconscious, and a policewoman was sitting next to her, wiping Emily's neck and forehead with a towel moistened with warm water from time to time.

Leo immediately stepped forward to check Emily's body. The policewoman wanted to stop her, but was stopped by Ljungberg.

Ljungberg watched Leo skillfully inspecting various parts of Emily's body, and soon Leo found a small wound on the main artery of the neck.

The wound was so small that it looked like it was stuck in by a needle. Considering Emily's blood loss, Leo already understood what happened to Emily.

After that, he reached out and grabbed Emily's wrist, carefully felt Emily's weak pulse, and judged how much blood was still in Emily's body through the vibration frequency and strength of the pulse.

"One-third?" After seeing the answer given by the sub-brain system, Leo couldn't help but exclaimed, because there was only one-third of the blood left in Emily's body, and Emily Still alive, this is absolutely impossible in Leo's past cognition.

Hearing Leo's exclamation, Ljungberg narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with something in his words: "That's right! There's only one-third of the blood, and you can draw a conclusion just by checking it. It's amazing."

"What do you mean?" Leo looked at Ljungberg coldly.

"It's not interesting!" Ljungberg didn't look at Leo, but turned to look at Emily lying on the bed, and said, "I just think this woman is very strong, and even I am amazed by her willpower to survive. It's a pity that no one can save her, and can only watch her die slowly."

At this time, Leo suddenly turned around, wrapped Emily with a thin sheet, then picked her up, and walked outside.

"What do you want to do?" Ljungberg was confused by Leo's actions, and hurriedly followed up and asked anxiously.

"Save her!" Leo said coldly.

Afterwards, Leo jumped out of the small window on the second floor with Emily in his arms, stepped on the railing outside, and flew up as if losing weight, landed on the roof opposite, and let go of his hands Legs, regardless of shocking the world, quickly jumped and soared on the roof of the building, and flew towards Annie's hospital in a straight line.

Eight points of agility, plus ten points of physique, made Leo's speed reach a speed that ordinary people would never be able to achieve. In addition, when he was running, he consciously let his feet release spiritual energy to achieve the effect of buffering and assisting. As a result, his speed continued to increase, and he turned into a phantom in the back.

The journey that originally took 20 minutes to reach by carriage was shortened abruptly by him to less than three minutes.

When Leo landed at the entrance of Annie's Hospital, the spiritual energy released under his feet was not enough to counteract all the gravity. The powerful force dented the ground a few centimeters, and the surrounding houses also slightly vibrated due to the fluctuations generated by the force under his feet.

After stabilizing his figure, Leo walked into the hospital with Emily in his arms.

At this moment, Adeline was still comforting the surrounding patients because of the ground shaking just now. When she saw Leo coming in, she was about to say something, but Leo ignored him. Go to the lab.

Adeline couldn't help being curious when she saw Leo carrying a person back and walking towards the laboratory without saying a word, and ordered the intern doctor to take care of the patient, and she followed closely.

After going up to the attic, Adeline saw an extra woman on the bed. The appearance of this woman is the same as that of the woman named Emily that Leo described, but her face is very pale. According to her doctor's experience, the other party should have lost too much blood, and the amount of blood loss is large.

Out of a doctor's instinct, Adeline immediately stepped forward to check Emily's physical condition, and the results surprised her.

Because she found that the blood loss in Emily's body should have been far below the bottom line of life. It is reasonable that Emily should be dead now, but when she checked just now, she found that Emily still had a very weak pulse and Breathe, the condition can only be described as miraculous.

With endless doubts in her heart, Adeline looked at Leo. She saw Leo dig out a brand new rubber tube, and then found two high-priced needle tubes specially customized by Annie for drawing blood, and covered the tube. The two ends of the needle tube were completely sealed and tied, and then he took the tape, walked to the bedside, and very directly inserted the needle tube into his own blood vessel.

"Ah! What are you doing?" Adeline exclaimed, instinctively wanting to help Leo pull out the needle, but was stopped by Leo raising his hand and beckoning her to be quiet.

Afterwards, when Leo waited for the blood to fill the hose and the needle, and when it dripped from the other end of the needle, he accurately pierced the other end of the needle into Emily's almost dry blood vessel, allowing his own blood to flow in. into her body.

"You! So you are a supporter of blood therapy?" Seeing what Leo did, Adeline looked at Leo in surprise, as if she was looking at some monster.

Leo ignored Adeline's eyes, fixed the needle tube with tape, then raised his hand in a comfortable posture, leaned on the bed, took out a hundred gold flannels from his pocket and handed it to Adeline, saying: "Help me get some When it comes to food, it should be more sugary, and a little bit more meat, and the portion should be large, preferably for ten people."

Adeline took the money, looked at the transfusion tube in Leo's hand, and walked out.

At this moment, Leo was not sure if doing this would save Emily. Although when he checked Emily's body just now, it was confirmed that the blood of the two could be transfused to each other, but after all, Emily lost too much blood and lost blood for too long. Even if she is rescued, her brain may be damaged due to excessive blood loss, and she will probably be a vegetable by then.

Now, Leo had calmed down from his restless emotions, and he suddenly realized that his emotions just now seemed wrong, because he only thought about saving Emily back at that time, and he didn't think about other things.

It is undeniable that after getting along last night, Leo has a good impression of this cheerful and optimistic little woman, but this kind of affection is only equivalent to a good friend.

He doesn't mind paying for Emily to realize her wish of a flower shop, and he doesn't mind helping her find the murderer to avenge Emily after she is killed, but he spares no effort to treat her like he is now, and even gives her blood transfusion, which is obviously already Beyond the category of friends.

Not to mention other people, even if a friend like Jason encounters the same situation, he still needs to think about the situation, and he will definitely not do it without thinking like just now.

"In the hospital, in the alley..."

At this time, Leo carefully recalled what happened. He found that he was affected by an unknown feeling when he was in the hospital, and he was affected again when he arrived at the entrance of the barrel alley. The unknown feeling is affected, and this influence is getting stronger and stronger, which strongly affects his emotions, making him have the idea that he must save Emily.

"Analysis object Emily."

Leo, who had already become suspicious, looked at Emily lying unconscious on the bed, and gave instructions to the sub-brain system, and soon the sub-brain system analyzed all the things that happened after meeting Emily last night, And it came out quickly.
