The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

When Leo returned to the hotel, it was already noon, which was much later than he expected, because he never expected that there would be so much more information about White Swan Castle than expected.

It can be said that the library has collected all the research materials on the foundation of the White Swan Castle over the years, adding up to more than 2,000 copies, and I don’t know if I have seen too many of these materials. There are too many manpower and material resources, so these materials are all scattered and disorderly.

After Leo got the information, he didn't conduct specific research and analysis, but quickly memorized the information and sorted it out in his brain.

When he returned to the hotel, the next class in the lobby handed him a note left by Sylvia, which said that there was a problem with the auctioneer's identity investigation, and she was dealing with it now, and there would be more details later. information.

Leo couldn't help but frown when he saw the message on this sticky note. Although he didn't think anything would happen to Sylvia, he still didn't like this unexpected change.

It's just that he has no choice but to help now, because even the people in the hotel don't know where Sylvia has gone.

Leo could only go back to the hotel room and wait for Sylvia's further news. During this time, he happened to sort out the information he just wrote down.

Compared with the information about White Swan Castle obtained before, the information in hand now is obviously more detailed, and it also involves a lot of more secret things, such as the fact that the blood race once activated the foundation stone contained in a certain ritual. With the power, some powerful monsters were summoned, which caused heavy casualties to the blood race at that time.

The content of this record is very detailed, and some painters even drew those monsters based on the descriptions of the blood clans at the scene, but these monsters are not unfamiliar to Leo, because they are all regarded as disasters by the town of the lake fog beast.

In addition, there are research reports that have conducted extremely detailed research on the cornerstone in terms of language, patterns, symbols, etc., and these research materials are extremely valuable in the eyes of ordinary people and leave special marks on the facets. In Ou's eyes, it is far less useful than the record of the monster summoned by the vampire.

Although there are a lot of materials, there are very few useful ones. Leo quickly screened out useful things from these materials and sorted them together. After recalling the other materials, he will its abandoned.

Just when Leo felt that it was almost time and was about to go to White Swan Castle, a slightly tired Sylvia pushed the door and walked in. After seeing Leo, she said proudly: "Let's go! Here you go!" See something."

Hearing Sylvia's words and seeing her proud expression, Leo guessed and confirmed, "You got that thing?"

Sylvia curled her lips when she heard the words, and said dissatisfiedly: "You are really boring, don't you know that you should pretend that you don't understand anything at this time, and then pretend to be very excited when you see something, and praise me Fan?"

Leo has only just begun to adapt to his ordinary human emotions. It is the first time to deal with this kind of petite Sylvia. He doesn't know what to do, and the information he read before can't find a way to deal with it, so he can only stand where he is. , smiling.

Seeing Leo like this, Sylvia shook her head and sighed, then stepped forward and hugged Leo's arm as if accepting her fate, and led him out.

Leo didn't resist, and followed Sylvia's drag to leave the room, went downstairs, and came to the small warehouse in the backyard of the hotel.

Sylvia signaled the people waiting outside the warehouse to open the door, and then walked in with Leo.

After entering, Leo's eyes immediately fell on the coffin that looked like a whole metal block.

Under Sylvia's watchful eyes, he walked to the coffin that should belong to him. Looking at the familiar serial number and his self-created name on it, he couldn't help feeling an inexplicable emotion in his heart, which spread instantly. It made him feel all kinds of unstoppable discomfort. At this moment, for the first time, he felt very disgusted with the ordinary human emotions he gradually possessed, and began to miss the state of a biochemical person.

Sylvia, who was always paying attention to Leo's state, could easily see his emotional fluctuations from Leo's face, and this also made her feel a little surprised and surprised. In the movie, Leo gave her the feeling that he should be the kind of extremely restrained person who would not easily show his emotions, but now Leo showed such an inexplicable sad look, which made Sylvia feel that she might still be Never really knew Leo.

Driven by strong curiosity, Sylvia walked up to Leo, and asked in a deep voice, "What is this? It can cause such a big mood swing in you?"

Sylvia's voice pulled Leo out of that inexplicable emotion. He rubbed his slightly sore eyes and nose, turned his head to look at Sylvia, hesitated a little, and said, "This is me. coffin."

Hearing Leo's answer, Sylvia froze for a moment, then glared at Leo angrily, and said, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it, but don't make such a joke that isn't funny at all."

Leo didn't explain. Under Sylvia's angry gaze, he walked to the side of his coffin, and then skillfully activated the micro-control system on the coffin. A three-dimensional imaging console system floated on the coffin.

Sylvia was completely attracted by the sudden influence at this moment, and completely forgot about Leo's clumsy joke just now. Although Leo showed her step by step how to arouse this strange influence, she still felt At a loss, I don't understand what Leo is doing.

Afterwards, she saw Leo reached out and quickly clicked on the phantom. The phantom changed its shape, followed by Leo and said a few words in a language she had never stopped, and the phantom suddenly seemed to be alive. Liao generally responded with the same language, and then a scene that surprised her appeared.

She saw that this object that should be a complete metal block in her opinion suddenly left several cracks in a criss-cross pattern, and then saw the small squares formed by these cracks float up one by one without any force, pushing the metal block away. The interior of the object was displayed in front of the two of them.

After seeing the scene inside the metal block, Sylvia was stunned, and then turned her head to look at Leo, with an inexplicable look in her eyes, because she did see a corpse inside the metal block. It is a giant skeleton with a height of more than four meters, and the weirdest thing is that the giant skeleton has no head, and there are some metal wire-like lines on the surface.

At this moment, she realized that in Leo's previous answer, except for the problem with my prefix, the answer of the coffin in the back was not a joke. It was indeed a coffin, a coffin for an unknown giant.

At this moment, when he opened the coffin and saw the corpse inside, Leo felt a sense of familiarity in his heart.

There is no doubt that this body once belonged to him in the past, and he can almost simulate every pattern of the enhancement and strengthening network on the surface of the skeleton with his eyes closed, just like what he did when he was bored in the past .

The metal pattern attached to the surface of these bones is actually a part of the enhanced neural network unique to the biochemical man, which is also jokingly called the military medal of the biochemical man.

Because only those who have reached a certain level of military exploits can obtain a higher level of enhanced neural network, and through this network, the life of a biochemical human can also be extended to a certain extent.

Relying on his own military exploits, Leo obtained twenty-three transformations to strengthen the neural network. These transformations, from subcutaneous nerves to skeletal nerves, strengthened almost all parts of the biochemical human body, which also made Leo obtain at that time. Life expectancy is about the same as that of ordinary people.

A comrade who has experienced several wars together once teased Leo. If Leo continues to make various military exploits and obtain the qualification for strengthening, he may only have to put the strengthening neural network in his brain.

At this time, Leo also noticed that the head of his corpse was missing, which made him feel extremely annoyed and confused.

He walked to the unknown place where the head was, looked down at the cervical spine, and soon found that his head was cut off with a high-frequency knife, and the wavy pattern on the port section was a unique wound mark of a high-frequency knife.

"Who would want the head of a cyborg?" Leo couldn't help but wondered when he saw this scene.

However, when he had suspicions, Leo couldn't help but think of the neural network enhancement he made last time.

Although it was just a joke that the comrades-in-arms said at the beginning to strengthen the neural network into the brain, the joke became true later. After obtaining enough merits, Leo carried out the neural network transformation again, and this time the transformation also chose brain.

That transformation operation was also the first time that the Earth Federation carried out an enhanced neural network transformation on the brain of a biochemical human. Because it was experimental, after the transformation was completed, Leo had to wear a monitoring device at all times to feed back the operation data of the enhanced neural network in the brain. to the relevant departments.

If there was anything in his brain worth prying at, it was the brain-enhanced neural network.

"Do you know what this is?" Sylvia turned her attention away from Leo's cyborg corpse and asked Leo.

It also implies that she has such doubts, because Leo's skillful movement of opening the coffin just now shows that he is very familiar with this thing, just like opening the door of his own house every day.

Leo introduced in a slightly heavy tone: "This is the twenty-seventh generation biochemical man, his number is 74328, he belongs to the special forces under the Ninth Star Army of the Earth Federation, he has experienced five hundred and seven Fourteen large and small battles and missions, with the rank of major, is the highest-ranked cyborg soldier, and also the only cyborg soldier who has undergone 24 neural network enhancements."

In Leo's introduction, although French was used as much as possible, words such as biochemical man do not have corresponding words in French and other languages ​​​​in the Velen world, so when talking about these words, he will Use Earth Federation language.

Although Sylvia didn't fully understand Leo's narration, she still knew from a few words that the giant corpse belonged to a warrior who held a high position and had carried out many operations. Transformation, just like the transformation of the gods church fighters.

It's just that Sylvia is even more curious about Leo at this moment. She is curious about where Leo got these materials.

Leo ignored Sylvia's curiosity, and reached out to his biochemical skeleton, preparing to move it out of the coffin.

But an unexpected scene happened, when Leo's hand touched the skeleton of the biochemical man, Leo and the skeleton of the biochemical man shone with the same light almost at the same time, and then the skeleton of the biochemical man turned into ashes, and On Leo's hands, there was an extra layer of metal patterns that looked very beautiful.

In fact, it's not just his hands, Leo's other parts of his body are also covered with a layer of metal patterns, except his head.

Sylvia saw the sudden change, but when she wanted to stop it, the change had already ended, and there was already a layer of metal pattern on Leo's hand, and Leo seemed to be caught in some kind of As if deep in thought, the whole person stood there blankly, which made Sylvia worried, and hurriedly asked: "What's going on here? Are you okay?"

Leo quickly recovered from his contemplation, gave Sylvia a reassuring smile, and said, "It's okay, I'm fine!"

As he spoke, the metal pattern attached to the surface of his body quickly changed, becoming exactly the same color as the skin, and even imitating the texture of the skin.

"What's that?" Sylvia couldn't help asking curiously after confirming that Leo had no problem and noticed the change in the metal pattern.

"This is the enhanced neural network." Leo said the name of the metal pattern in the language of the Earth Federation, but he had already determined in his heart that it was very different from the enhanced neural network in his memory. Nowhere else is the same.

"Is that what this giant used to transform?" Sylvia read the pronunciation, compared with Leo's previous description, and knew the source of the enhanced neural network.

Leo nodded and said, "Yes."

"What's the use of this thing?" Sylvia asked again.

Leo looked at the enhanced neural network in his hand that could no longer be recognized by the naked eye, and said with a blank face: "I don't know either."

At this moment, Leo really doesn't know what this thing is, he feels that this thing is alive, and the reason why he is attached is not because he is the first person to touch this thing, but because this thing belongs to him, Even though he is no longer the cyborg warrior who only has a number, he still has an inexplicable connection with this enhanced neural network that was born and died together, as if this connection came from the depths of the soul.
