The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

In the early morning of the next day, Leo left the hotel alone, and instead of taking a carriage to the abandoned factory where Beruwuf and the others lived, he went on foot.

Sylvia didn't follow, not only because she didn't like the decision Leo made, but also because she had trouble with Leo, and more because in the early morning, her men came to report that they were sent out to investigate the pair last night. The last buyers of the coffins are all missing.

Originally, Leo was going to assist Sylvia to investigate this matter together, but Sylvia rejected Leo's kindness and wanted to investigate alone. By the way, she also wanted to get acquainted with her newly acquired power.

Leo knew very well that Sylvia was an independent person and would not be willing to become a vassal of others, and he could also feel that the witch power surging in Sylvia's body really needed a place to vent, so he also Agreed with Sylvia's decision to act separately.

Leo, who left the hotel, did not take the avenue, but walked directly through the alleys of Moonlight City, taking a shortcut to the abandoned factory.

It's just that when he passed through half of the city, entered the edge of the city, and passed an alley called Rabbit Leg Street, he stopped and looked at the crowd gathered not far away.

There should have been a row of small three-story apartment buildings near where the crowd was, but now the row of small buildings has collapsed, leaving only ruins. The crowd blocked the outside.

From the conversation among the crowd, Leo heard some information. This row of small apartment buildings was originally a low-rent apartment built by the Moonlight City Government for the poor, so the materials and materials used are very random. It was in disrepair for a long time last year, and it was designated as a dilapidated building more than ten years ago. Rent collection was stopped, and a notice was issued to let people move out of these houses.

It's just that the people living here are poor people who don't have much money on hand. If they move out of here, they will have to sleep on the street. Therefore, after the city government didn't collect rent, the residents who were worried about the collapse of the building didn't care. I am willing to move out of these buildings, but they are still full of people.

At the beginning, these poor people were worried that the buildings would collapse, so they found some wooden houses from outside the city to reinforce them. The empty rooms were used as their own real estate and rented to some poor people later. The number of people living in these buildings was higher than before, which made the already overwhelmed buildings even more precarious.

So people who live nearby are very aware that these buildings will collapse sooner or later, just to see when it will collapse until last night.

According to the occupants of the apartment buildings closest to these collapsed buildings, last night, or more correctly, Linchen, they seemed to hear some moans, and then there was a thunderous sound, and the ground vibrated slightly for a while. After a while, they walked out of the house and saw that the entire row of houses had collapsed, and all the people living inside were crushed in the house.

People who originally lived nearby mixed with the gendarmerie police who rushed over to search for possible survivors in the ruins, but all they found were corpses, so in the morning, they were only disappointed and gave up looking for survivors However, the gendarmerie also retreated, leaving only the police to seal off the scene, waiting for the city government to send people to clean up the ruins.

During this period of time, those who gathered around to watch the excitement made various guesses about the reasons for the collapse of the ruins, among which the most guessed was that the houses were deliberately collapsed by real estate developers.

This guess is not groundless, because recently there have been rumors that the city government is planning to hand over this abandoned apartment building land to a real estate developer in Moonlight City for reconstruction. However, the apartment building is already full of poor people. If these poor people are not resettled , It may be difficult for real estate developers to start work.

That's why the real estate developers will do it secretly and collapse all the houses to completely solve this problem.

As for the evidence, it is the row of completely collapsed houses in front of them. From the eyes of the onlookers, even if the houses collapsed due to damage or obsolescence, only a part of them collapsed. It is impossible to collapse so completely at the same time. Those with esoteric knowledge of architecture know what to do to bring these apartment buildings down.

The statement that the real estate developer collapsed the house has been increasingly recognized by the onlookers. Some people have already made a fuss and marched to the city hall, urging the municipal authorities to thoroughly investigate this matter.

If Leo, who was also a bystander, was just an ordinary person, he might have recognized the so-called truth that was recognized by the vast majority of people, but in his vision, the ruins were not what they appeared at the scene Simple, the ruins of this apartment building experienced an evil god sacrifice last night, and the real eye attached to Leo's spiritual vision could clearly see that the sacrificial energy remaining in the ruins formed a fuzzy and distorted phantom in the air.

Because the time was too long, and the flow of people was too much, the sacrificial energy covering the ruins was seriously dissipated, and it was already difficult to see who caused the tragedy from the phantom formed by these energy breaths.

However, Leo doesn't need to rely on these illusions to determine who caused the tragedy, because the murderer is at the scene, and there is no need to search or infer.

I saw a carriage parked not far from the ruins. The sheriff responsible for maintaining order at the ruins was standing beside the carriage respectfully at the moment, as if listening to the orders of the people inside the carriage.

Although the surroundings of the carriage were covered by cloth curtains, these coverings had no effect on Leo's mental network, and he easily knew who was sitting in the carriage.

"Bloody Lady Natasha." Leo silently recited the name of the person in the car, felt the remaining sacrificial energy emanating from the other person through the spiritual network, and then looked at the ruins.

With the same two kinds of sacrificial energy fluctuations, Leo can basically be sure that this bloody lady was responsible for this tragedy, and those poor people living in this row of apartment buildings should have been sacrificed to her by her. The god of eloquence of faith.

And the only question that popped up in Leo's mind was whether the blood clan knew about it, or didn't know, whether they acquiesced to the bloody lady's actions, or the bloody baroness's own actions.

If it is just the bloody baroness's own behavior, then this matter is simple, it is just a sacrifice of a cultist, whether it is the Church of the Hill King, or the blood clan will definitely deal with this matter, but if the bloody baroness His behavior was acquiesced by the blood race, so this matter is worth pondering.

"It seems that there may be a big change here." An idea came to Leo's mind, and then he continued to walk towards the abandoned factory without looking back at the ruins.

And just as Leo was leaving, the curtain of the bloody lady's carriage was raised by someone. From the raised corner, Natasha looked at Leo's figure who was going away, with a very serious expression, her brows frowning. They all wrinkled up, showing a little worry.

In fact, when Leo's mental network detected the carriage, the Bloody Countess in the carriage also noticed it, but she didn't dare to take any countermeasures, because she instinctively felt a sense of danger, and The threat was so strong that it felt like a knife was on her neck.

In her memory, she only had this strong sense of danger a few times, and the existence she faced those few times was the existence she could only look up to, so she also subconsciously regarded Leo as this kind of existence, I dare not do any unnecessary actions, and dare not say any unnecessary words.

It wasn't until that feeling disappeared that she breathed a sigh of relief, and driven by strong curiosity, she lifted the curtain to see who the person who gave him such a strong sense of danger was.

Although she only saw a figure from the back, she still judged Leo's identity from details such as clothing and figure.

Among the blood clans, Leo Dodd has already gained a lot of fame, and the source of his fame is not because of the status of the tower wizard rumored to the outside world, nor the wizard potions he made, but because he is the witch Xi. Companion to Sylvia Belmont.

Almost every blood clan knows about the agreement signed between the blood clan and the witch, and they all know that in the agreement, the blood clan has granted a lot of privileges to the witch, coupled with some stories about the witch that the blood clan has spread, the whole blood clan has an inexplicable feeling towards the witch. The feeling of awe, even if the blood race has never admitted this emotion.

So for some blood races, becoming a witch's partner means automatically having an eye-catching aura, and all blood races will focus on each other, guessing each other's identity after dinner, what qualities can they have? Attract witches and more.

Although Natasha is not among those blood clans who fear witches, as long as she is in the blood clan, she will inevitably hear things related to witches. It happened that Leo was also mentioned by other blood clans in the early morning.

If it was in other places and times, after Natasha picked up Leo, maybe she would have a chat with Leo out of curiosity, and get to know this legendary figure called the last tower wizard, but now in this place , especially when Leo observed her actions, she couldn't help but feel a little worried, wondering if Leo had noticed something.

This kind of worry has rapidly magnified from the moment it arose, and it has amplified to the point that it has already affected the mood of the Bloody Countess, making her no longer in the mood to stay here, and immediately ordered the driver to go to the Kuivan Manor, and she will report to the above as soon as possible , to see what decisions are made above.

Leo didn't know that his habitual behavior of using the spirit net to check the situation made the bloody baroness with special perception aware of it, and caused some bad associations, but even if he knew it, he wouldn't care.

He has already cleared the ruins from his thinking at this moment, and he is not going to intervene in this matter, because if it is really as he guessed that this matter was acquiesced by the blood race last time, then he will investigate this matter Undoubtedly, he is an enemy of the entire blood clan. With his current strength, facing the blood clan of Yasha County, the only way to escape is probably.

Feeling that Moonlight City has become a den of right and wrong, Leo felt that he should finish what he had to do and leave here as soon as possible, so his pace also accelerated a lot.

After walking through the alley again and crossing two blocks, Leo came to the wall of the abandoned factory.

Because of the abandonment, the surrounding walls of the factory were not repaired in time, and many places collapsed, revealing gaps where people could easily walk in.

It's just that the people living around the fence seem to be extremely afraid of the fence. Not only do they avoid the fence from a distance, but they don't even open the windows and doors facing the busy old factory, so people who are close to the fence The area where a road is located is extremely deserted, as if no one lives here.

Leo walked into the factory through the breach in the wall, bypassed an abandoned factory building, and walked along a path full of weeds towards the place where the factory garden was yesterday.

The moment he entered the factory, Leo had already noticed some werewolves lurking around him staring at him.

Compared with the blood race who live together with humans and serve as government officials of Asha County and the nobles of the Kingdom of Marris, werewolves are obviously much more low-key. They will only send some young werewolves to manage them in Asia every once in a while. The power of Sharkshire is regarded as the experience of these young werewolves, so the outside world does not know much about werewolves, but they know that the internal system structure of werewolves is still maintained at the elder system stage of early tribal civilization.

Some people who are hostile to werewolves, such as the vampires, use this as a weapon to attack werewolves, claiming that werewolves are still a barbaric race more than once.

Leo didn't care about such malicious rumors, but when he sensed these werewolves living in the abandoned factory through the spiritual network, Leo felt that this statement seemed reasonable.

Because under the perception of Leo's mental network, the emotions and demeanor exuded by these werewolves are all animal nature over human nature, and he feels that these werewolves seem to prefer to keep their bodies in the state of a werewolf beast rather than a human state.

"Is this the degeneration of species due to the lack of maternal guidance?" A guess emerged in Leo's mind.

Leo walked very fast, and it didn't take long for him to arrive outside the garden where he came yesterday.

At this time, a werewolf nearly three meters high came out of the bushes and landed in front of Leo, grinning at him as if threatening.

"You know you look like a dog." Leo said calmly, looking at the werewolf.

After hearing this, the werewolf was stunned for a moment, then opened his wolf mouth at Leo with an angry expression on his face, but before he could make another move, Leo's fist had already hit him on the head, killing him. It flew out directly, hit a tree not far away, fell to the ground, and passed out.

Unexpectedly, Leo would make a move, all the werewolves around were stunned, but soon they reacted, and one by one from the forest, surrounded Leo aggressively, as if preparing to besiege Leo momentum.
