The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Due to various constraints, the flying speed of the psionic wing is not very fast, only a little faster than ordinary carriages, but his flying altitude is very high. After flying out of the hotel, he controlled the psionic wing to climb quickly , and soon flew to an altitude of four to five hundred meters. In the dark night, even if someone looked up, he might not be able to see his figure clearly.

Soon Leo flew to the outskirts and landed at the place he had chosen before.

This is a quarry located in the outskirts of Kabu City. The building materials of Kabu City in the early days were all made of stone quarried from here. It was also prosperous for a period of time, and even a small town was specially established.

However, some scholars later discovered that the quality of the stone here is somewhat problematic. There are too many impurities inside and it is not strong enough. There is no problem in building some low buildings or paving roads. However, once it is used as stone in high-rise buildings, it will inevitably lead to collapse. type of accident.

At that time, the officials in Kabu City ignored this warning and continued to use the stone here. It was not until one day that a fifteen-story building under construction collapsed without warning on the day it was built, which attracted the attention of the officials. And the mining of local stone materials was stopped, and all stone materials from foreign enemies were used.

Because of the lack of sales, the quarries here were also closed due to bankruptcy, and the small towns built on the quarries gradually became depopulated, and eventually everyone left these small towns, and these small towns became The ghost town of various urban legends in Kabu City, no one comes to live here anymore.

However, some people have come to these ghost towns now, and they settled here a few months ago. In addition to sending people to the town to buy some daily necessities, they usually live in the town, let alone leave the town. Few people leave the house.

These people don't have to worry about starving to death because they don't have a job. Kabu City will send people every month to take a certain amount of handicrafts from them and pay them enough wages to support a family.

The reason why the Kabu city government will place these people in these uninhabited remote ghost towns and live an isolated life is mainly because these people are all mutants.

Unlike the Farland Empire, which completely discriminates against mutants and will do everything possible to capture mutants, the United Kingdom of France discriminates against mutants much weaker, and the United Kingdom is also very willing to accept mutants who can still maintain their sanity after mutation. Sensible mutants will be recruited by special departments of the United Kingdom because of their special abilities and become government employees. For example, the intelligence department under Sylvia has many similar mutants and family members.

But even so, among these mutants, there are still many incomplete mutants who have obviously mutated their bodies but have not acquired supernatural powers. Except for a very small number of people with special skills, most of these mutants are ordinary people. They will not be recruited by the United Kingdom government. In order to house these mutants, so that they will not move around and cause trouble for the security of their own city, and in order to prevent the reputation of the United Kingdom in mutants from going bankrupt, the United Kingdom will place these mutants together In some abandoned towns, centralized management.

Normally, these mutants don't need to do difficult things, they just need to make some handicrafts and sell them to government purchasers.

Leo had discovered the existence of these mutants when he was training Spirit Net, and he also found that these mutants were definitely not as ordinary as they appeared, because Leo found seven of these mutants with A complete mutant with energy fluctuations, but because the energy fluctuations of these seven mutants are not particularly strong, and these mutants also know the rules and will not go out to make trouble, so Leo has no intention of helping the Kabu city government Deal with these hidden dangers.

The quarry where Leo landed was the quarry located at the outermost edge, and judging from the situation of the quarry, the mining here was stopped not long after mining, and the entire mountain was only dug away from the surface. The first floor is not like other quarries that have dug out seventy to eighty percent of the entire mountain.

Leo landed on a relatively flat rock. After falling, he used spiritual power to sweep away all the dust and gravel on the surface of the rock, and then used spiritual power to quickly polish the ground, engraving patterns with twisted patterns and In the magic circle composed of patterns, he then placed the corpse in his hand in a pattern that looked like three eyes superimposed in the middle of the magic circle.

If the assassin is not dead, Leo has a way to use a psychic skill that can read the memory cells of the brain, and directly extract relevant memories from the assassin's brain, but now that the assassin is dead, the brain cells are inevitably affected. Reversed damage, so Leo can only use another method to directly ask the assassin's soul, or the original consciousness.

The spell Leo wants to cast comes from the abyss. It is an ancient abyss spell preserved in the knowledge of the abyss serpent. It is recorded in the knowledge of the abyss that no matter whether any creature has wisdom or not, its original consciousness will continue to remain after death. In the body for seven days, they will leave the body after seven days. The unbelievers will dissipate in the heaven and the earth, while those who have faith will be taken away by the gods they believe in. If the gods disappear, then these people with faith will also disappear. Melt into heaven and earth like the unbelievers.

The abyss spell that Leo will cast is based on this abyss theorem. It can awaken the primitive consciousness of the dead and control the primitive consciousness. Those underground churches or believers of evil gods may use this method to create corpse puppets that can be controlled. And what Leo needs is just to control the dead and ask for the information he wants.

After placing some high-energy substances in different positions, Leo, who was ready, began to stand next to the engraved magic circle, and began to recite the abyss like a curse according to the rituals mentioned in the abyss knowledge Prayer.

At first, Leo's voice sounded like he was arguing with some people, but soon the tones of these abyss prayers were mixed together, forming an inexplicable resonance, and this resonance also affected Lei. Oh, the voice of his reciting prayers became a little unusual, it sounded like it had turned into a nervous whisper.

As the sound changed, the high-energy substances that Leo arranged around also emitted different colors of light. When these lights were so strong that they were dazzling, they seemed to turn into mercury and flow in the engravings of the magic circle below. Then it converged towards the symbol in the middle of the magic circle. When all the light converged to the distorted symbol in the middle, the light also mixed together, turned black, and then slowly penetrated into the corpse on the symbol.

While the power of the magic circle merged into the corpse, the corpse also convulsed violently as if it had come to life, like a hysterical patient.

Immediately afterwards, the closed eyes of the corpse opened suddenly, the exposed eyeballs were as black as ink, and all the blood vessels in the body floated up, making it look even more hideous.

Assassin Leo stopped reciting the abyss prayer, because at the moment when all the power of the magic circle merged into the corpse, he could feel some connection between himself and the corpse, through which he could control the corpse, and the corpse could also pass through This connection affects his mind.

"Tell me, who told you to kill the heir of Earl de Maupassant?" Leo immediately went straight to the point after confirming that he could control the corpse.

"Ah... ah..." The corpse groaned inexplicably, and then under Leo's enhanced control, he said vaguely: "Master... people, master... people!"

"Who is your master?" Leo continued to ask.

"Ah! Ah!" The corpse hissed twice, its body trembling more and more violently, as if it wanted to get out of Leo's control, but it was still unable to do so, it could only roar loudly under Leo's ever-increasing control Said: "Flame...Flame!"

Following these two screams, a ball of golden flame suddenly appeared from the corpse, which instantly dissipated the power of the abyss magic circle on the corpse and burned the corpse to ashes at the same time.

Seeing this scene, Leo's face became a little gloomy, because the flames that appeared just now indicated that this assassin was a cleanser from the church, and he was also a cleanser who was blessed by the gods of the church he was in.

In the church, there are paladins who stand in front of people like this, and are highly respected by the world. There are also some cleaners who help the church to do all kinds of dirty things. However, because of the religious reform and other reasons, the number of cleaners in the current church The number is already very small, and there are even fewer Cleaners who have received the blessing of the gods.

The flame just now was obviously transformed by the divine power after the blessing of the gods. Its function was to prevent the believers who received the blessing from being polluted by the evil magic of evil gods after death, so that their souls could be integrated into the heaven and earth in a pure way.

As for Leo, apart from being surprised that the assassin came from the church, he was even more surprised that from the energy fluctuations displayed by the divine power, the church where the clearer belonged turned out to belong to the Lord of the Sky. The church, that is to say, the high level of the Church of the Lord of the Sky wants to kill Sylvia's heir.

If the scene just now had not been witnessed by Leo himself, the whole process was within his perception, and all the details had been captured by him, I am afraid he would not be able to believe that the Church of the Lord of the Sky would stick to Little Tolan. Some can't justify.

Although Sylvia is not a believer of the Church of the Lord of the Sky, nor is she a believer of the Lord of the Sky, but her close relationship with the Church of the Lord of the Sky is unusual, even closer than devout believers.

According to Sylvia’s own narrative, when she was young, she lived in the Church of the Sky Lord in the Holy See of the Kingdom of America for a period of time, and established a deep friendship with the high-level members of the Church of the Sky Lord, even though she exposed her identity as a witch However, the Church of the Lord of the Sky did not do anything bad to her, and even recommended her to become the adjudicator of the Orthodox Church.

But now the Church of the Lord of the Sky sent liquidators to assassinate Sylvia's heir. This sudden change caught people off guard, and it took a while for Leo to recover from his astonishment.

"The liquidator who can send the blessing of the gods must have a very high status in the branch of the Lord of the Sky in the United Kingdom," Leo made a guess in his mind instantly, and several identifications emerged.

If other churches did this, Leo would probably kill them directly without hesitation, without finding out who is the messenger, and just kill all the high-level church leaders who are qualified to instruct this clearer.

But now he can't do this. A church with such a good relationship with Sylvia sent someone to do this kind of thing. No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel a little weird, so he decided to go back and tell Sylvia about the matter. Ya, let Sylvia find out who is behind the scenes, and then decide what to do.

After making a decision, Leo used spiritual energy to erase the abyss magic circle on the ground, and dispelled the surrounding abyss power, and then prepared to use the spiritual energy wings to leave the quarry.

"Eh?" But the appearance of a wave of energy fluctuations made Leo stop the psychic skills he was using, and he couldn't help looking curiously at the town where the source of the energy fluctuations was located.

This sudden energy fluctuation was not strong. If Leo hadn't just opened his psionic wings to capture the free energy around him, he wouldn't even be able to feel this weak energy fluctuation.

However, the reason why such a weak energy fluctuation that is almost undetectable aroused Leo's curiosity was because he felt the energy fluctuation of gamma rays from this energy fluctuation.

One point was clearly mentioned in the scientific research materials released by the advanced civilization of the universe, that is, there are no gamma rays in the subspace, and only the normal universe has this special energy ray.

Leo had previously inferred from the various data collected that the world of Velen, and even the entire Black Forest world, should be in the subspace, so it is logically inferred that gamma rays should not appear here.

But now he clearly felt the special energy fluctuations of gamma rays, which made him suspect that his previous deduction might be wrong, but his initial judgment might be right, this place is actually in a certain star field in the normal universe .

Leo thought about it for a while, and felt that he should go to the birthplace of energy similar to Gamma's imagination, and see where this energy came from.

Thinking of this, Leo immediately took action, and moved towards the small town outside the quarry while unfolding the mental net.

Soon Leo came to the outside of the town, but his mental network could not capture that energy fluctuation, mainly because the energy was too weak, which had exceeded the minimum limit of energy fluctuations that the spiritual network could feel .

For this reason, Leo could only use his psychic wings to collect the free energy around him indiscriminately, but he didn't know why there was no gamma-ray-like energy in the free energy around him, which made Leo feel helpless. I wonder if I had an illusion before.

However, before Leo's suspicion intensified, the gamma-ray-like energy fluctuation reappeared, and was quickly captured by the psionic wing, and was also found where the energy fluctuation occurred.
