The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 224: Transformed Human Killer

For so many years, Roger Hare has tried his best to curry favor with those wizards, and it is not without any benefits. In addition to allowing him to obtain some high-value mysterious items from time to time, he also has a few life-saving amulets on him. Several amulets, he escaped from certain death situations several times, so now when facing this weird environment, he still thinks that he can survive under the protection of the amulets.

However, something unexpected happened. When Roger Hare crushed one of the amulets and waited for the witchcraft contained in the amulet to fall on him, allowing him to hide his body, see through the maze and find his way out, he found that things were different He expected something different.

Although his body has entered an invisible state like using this amulet in the past, and his eyes have seen some scenes that ordinary people cannot see, but he found that the light that guided him to leave did not appear, which means that the power of the amulet is not Not enough to find out the exit of the maze that traps them.

Thinking of this, although Roger Hare's letter was a little flustered, he had experienced many things after all, so he calmed down quickly, and thinking of countermeasures, he took out a few wizard amulets, which seemed to be ready to be crushed at the same time, and exploded at the same time Whether the power of the power can produce different effects.

However, before he pressed his fingers hard, he felt a sense of dizziness in his head. His whole spirit was as if he had smoked a lot of tobacco specially produced by a certain wilderness tribe in the Mozambique continent. He was in a daze, half asleep and half awake. between.

Roger Hare's spirit is still very clear, but he can't control his body, nor can he control his brain thinking, just like a tall scavenger suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air, took the amulet from his hand, and searched his belongings With the cash check and the ledger used to save his life, his spirit wants to stop, shout, and even attack the opponent, but his body and mind are completely independent of the spirit, allowing the opponent to do what he does.

He watched the other party put the cash check that he found on his body into his pocket, watched the other party look at the amulet in his hand with a curious expression, and watched the other party open the account book that he had just found out and carefully read it. Looking at the contents of the account book, he finally watched the other party raise his hand and made a gesture in front of him, asking, "Do you know the whereabouts of the ring of plague?"

Roger Hare thought to himself, damn it, he knew it would bring him big trouble, but while he was cursing in his heart, his body and brain uncontrollably answered the question, saying :"I know."

The other party asked again: "Is the ring of plague in the hands of the medical school?"

Although Roger Hare wanted to stop it, he couldn't control it, and admitted: "Yes."

"Where is the ring of plague hidden by the medical school?"

Roger Hare's brain was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about this question. After a while, he slowly said: "It may be in the Imperial Army barracks, or it may be in the abandoned mine of the old Kron mine."

"Why do you think so?"

Hare Roger heard himself explaining: "I know that the officers and officers of the Imperial Army who received goods recently are the logistics officers of the old mine barracks. They are covered by the Imperial Army. The abandoned mine pit is a very suitable secret laboratory."

After listening to Roger Hare's words, the tall scavenger pondered for a while, then looked in a certain direction of the ruins as if startled by something, and then, under the gaze of Roger Hare, quickly emptied himself. , and eventually disappear.

Just when the scavenger disappeared, Roger Hare felt the control of his body back again, and he didn't know whether it was because what happened just now frightened him, or because what happened just now had a great impact on his spirit. All in all, he felt a little dizzy at the moment, unable to support his shaking body, his feet went limp, and he sat down on the ground, panting heavily.

"Saved!" Hare Roger, who was sitting on the ground recovering from exhaustion, said to himself very happily. Although he lost a lot of accumulated money, precious amulets and life-saving ledgers, at least he is still alive now. In his opinion, as long as he is still alive, those lost things will be able to earn back sooner or later.

After sitting on the ground for a while, he felt that his body had recovered from uncontrollable limpness, and his strength had returned to his limbs, so he propped himself up on the ground, stood up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and was about to consider going down by himself. What to do in one step, and then he felt a pain in his chest, a huge force came out from his chest, took him to fly backwards, and fell to the ground, his consciousness soon became blurred, and finally accompanied by The breath that disappeared completely fell into sinking.

Not long after, a middle-aged man dressed as a scavenger walked up to Roger Hare, checked the wound on his chest, and confirmed that Roger Hare was dead. The Imperial Army's mechanical crossbows were received together in the backpack, and then they searched the corpse carefully, as if they were looking for something.

Soon the middle-aged man found that there was nothing on Roger Hare, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face, but at this moment, the sound of footsteps from not far away startled him, causing him to stand up from the corpse immediately , the cat leaned on his body, quickly rushed to the ruins not far away, and hid himself.

Just when the middle-aged man was hiding, the men who had been instructed by Roger Hare to go to other places all gathered together, apparently wanting to find the whereabouts of their boss, but when they found a fatal wound on the chest When the boss was lying in a pile of rubble, everyone was stunned.

One of them quickly woke up from the shock, stepped forward cautiously, checked Roger Hare's situation, and confirmed that their boss was really dead.

After getting the exact news, everyone panicked and didn't know what to do. The person who was sober at the beginning suddenly said something, and the people around immediately shouted in a panic, as if they were arguing about something , but then the man said some more words, and the people around gradually calmed down, and kept nodding, as if agreeing with his companion's words.

After a while, the subordinates of Roger Hare seemed to have made some decision. After stripping off a few valuable things such as the ring on Roger Hare's hand and the necklace around his neck, one of them Under the leadership of the leader, he ran towards the Yucheng District, and had no intention of returning to the camp to inform the others of Roger Hare's death.

Just after those people left, the middle-aged man who had been hiding before came out again, walked up to Roger Hare, pulled out a sharp knife, cut off Roger Hare's head, and put it in the prepared Put it in the sealed pocket, put it in the bag, and walked quickly towards the urban area north of Miria City without looking back.

After that, a group of scavengers happened to pass by the ruins and saw the headless corpse on the ground. They were not caught by the corpse, but were attracted by the high-end clothes on the corpse, and stepped forward to pick up the corpse. Only then did he leave with satisfaction.

Not long after, some wild dogs wandering around the ruins gathered together smelling the smell of blood, and ate up the corpse, leaving only a pile of unrecognizable bones scattered in the ruins, and Roger Hare also Completely disappeared from Miria City, as if it had never existed.

The process of Roger Hare's death and the reactions of those subordinates were all seen by Leo. He was like a cheetah lurking in the ruins, waiting quietly, waiting for the follow-up actions of the scavengers who assassinated Roger Hare. , It wasn't until the scavengers chopped off Roger's head and took away that he came out of the shadows, using the spirit net to monitor the opponent's movements from a long distance, while he followed behind.

Roger Hare was the third slave trader Leo found that was related to the medical school. From the first two slave traders, Leo knew that there was a secret agency that was an old client of these slave traders and often bought some slaves from them. In the beginning, this organization only bought some death penalty criminals, but later it gradually turned into captured war criminals who were defeated in certain wars, and now it directly targets ordinary people.

Although there is no evidence on the surface to prove that this secret institution has any relationship with the medical school, after so many years of trading, these slave traders are more or less able to find some clues to speculate on the ownership behind this secret institution.

It's just a pity that the two slave merchants didn't know about the Ring of Plague before. They just knew that the secret organization recently bought a lot more slaves, which has affected the needs of their other customers. It feels like some big move.

However, now that Leo has learned from Roger Hare that the ring of plague is really related to the medical school, the next step is to find the ring of plague.

It's a pity that with the effect of the demon hunter Axi's seal, he can only ask some simple questions from the opponent's mouth. As for how Roger Hare was involved in the plague ring, are there other forces? Specific questions such as getting involved, etc., cannot be asked through the Axii seal.

Just when Leo was about to find other ways to ask more specific things from Roger Hare, he found a killer who was coming for Roger Hare.

The reason why Leo was sure that the killer came for Roger Hare was because Roger Hare had a very special and faint smell, and the killer was obviously the trace of this smell left in the air. They rushed over here for the route of travel.

Afterwards, what happened did not exceed Leo's expectations. The killer had no intention of confronting Roger Hare at all, and directly killed Roger Hare with the Imperial Army machine crossbow in his hand, and then cut off his head as evidence.

Although it is a pity to lose the information source of Roger Hare, this killer can bring more useful information to Leo, so Leo abandoned the remaining slave traders and followed the killer instead.

Through the observation of the spirit network, Leo found that this killer is obviously not the kind of common killer who changes careers halfway. There are very strong traces of a professional killer on this killer, from stealth, to evasion, to getting rid of tracking and so on. They are all so standardized that they can almost be used as standards for the behavior of professional killers.

It was also because of this that Leo was sure that this killer might be a scavenger carefully cultivated by some forces, and was specially designed to remove all obstacles and dangers for this force.

In addition, Leo also saw some supernatural powers from this killer. For example, this killer can produce a kind of psionic energy to integrate himself with the shadow, just like the shadow cloak in witchcraft, In addition, the organs on his body are more sensitive than ordinary people, especially the sense of smell. Several times, he has been able to judge the things in front of him through the smell around him, and avoid some troubles in advance.

However, what makes Leo more interested is the supernatural power displayed by this killer, which is neither derived from the family, nor from the cells of the gods, and he himself is not a psychic. Some of the reinvented people who have undergone body modification for special abilities in the Federation are somewhat similar.

Although the traces of transformation on the killer's body are well hidden, Leo's mental network can still easily find them all.

For example, the spiritual energy that can help the killer blend into the shadows comes from an artificially inlaid bone on the killer's forehead. This bone was fused with the killer's skull by an unknown method, and then covered with skin to hide the traces of transformation. Judging from that kind of spiritual energy, this bone should be derived from a strange creature of the shadow leopard. This kind of creature only breeds in the endless forest of the Mosang continent. Because of its special ability to hide in the shadows, many Few can catch it.

In addition to this skull, the killer's sense of smell and other facial features also have traces of micro-modification, which is very secretive. If it wasn't for Leo himself who knew something about the reformers, he probably wouldn't be able to see that these organs had been artificially modified.

This kind of modification made Leo think of the two family members who were chasing and killing the soldiers of the United Kingdom that he saw when he just returned to Velen. It is completely different from the transformation method of the killer in front of him.

Although compared with the transformation of the family members, the transformation of this killer should have no further development potential, but it has to be said that for ordinary people who are trying to obtain extraordinary power, this kind of transformation without many side effects is actually more powerful. It is more suitable for them, of course, the premise is that the success rate of this transformation must be high.

Just when Leo was thinking about the killer's situation, the killer had already entered a refugee camp located in the northern suburbs of Miria City.

Leo stood outside the refugee camp, looked at the flags hanging on the refugee camp, and showed a smile on his face.

I saw that the flag hanging on the main entrance of the refugee camp belonged to the war relief medical department under the medical school. This department is different from the field doctors who serve the armies of both sides of the war. The objects they serve are all ordinary people involved in the war. It is inseparable from the tireless efforts of this department that the Academy can have such a prestige and status. So when the medical school sent a medical team from this department into the city of Miria, even though the empire was very smoky about the subordinate organizations of the medical school, it did not stop the medical team from stationing in the city of Miriam.
