Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 122 [Shroud of the Iceman of Oz]

The moment Su Lun hugged Reina's arm, the murderous intent on his back that was like a knife was suddenly weakened a lot.

The eldest lady of the Reyce family, her cards are still very large.

Even people from the umbrella organization who want to pursue the murderer have to worry about the personal safety of this eldest lady.

Su Lun didn't dare to delay. He had to find the [Forbidden Object] as soon as possible while not many people were surrounded.

Because the meat ticket was very cooperative, the two entered the hotel lobby smoothly.

As soon as he entered and saw the environment of the hotel, Su Lun immediately recalled some scenes in his mind, and was even more sure where the forbidden object was hidden.

Su Lun wasn't sure about the room key to the hotel, so he didn't plan to go up directly. If the violence cannot be broken, it will be very troublesome.

He went to the front desk and planned to open the room normally to get the key.

Originally thought to show ID or something, but did not want the front desk manager to greet them warmly.

No money, no documents checked.

A flattering smile.

I didn't want any deluxe big suite, but a normal big bed room in room 505.

Going upstairs, our meat ticket lady said weakly, this hotel is her family's property.

The manager knew her.

Again, half of the real estate in this commercial street belongs to her family.

Well, Su Lun almost forgot that this is an inhuman little rich woman.

Going up to the fifth floor, the focused gaze that locked him still did not disappear.

Su Lun ignored it and opened the door.

The Moon Hotel is a high-end hotel, and the decoration is no worse than the five-star hotels in the previous life.

The price of this kind of room is not cheap. The "A-pass" thief Yabuke chose here, enjoyment is one thing, and more importantly, safety. The more luxurious the hotel, the less likely it will be to have room rounds.

Behind this hotel is the Reyce family. They are all big people. There are few ward rounds, and the frequency of occupants is low.

Although Reina didn't mind helping Su Lun, she also wondered why he brought herself to the hotel room.

But before she could ask, as soon as she entered the door, Su Lun said, "Close your eyes. Otherwise, you will have a lot of trouble afterwards."

"Oh."

Although Reina didn't understand what Su Lun was going to do, she just closed her eyes obediently without asking more questions, just like she was in a burrow.

Su Lun really didn't want Reina to see what she was going to do, otherwise she would be in trouble.

And, the more he said, the more he revealed himself.

Entering this room, the picture in my mind instantly became clear.

Then, he set his eyes on the corner of the ceiling.

You can't see anything with the naked eye, just a piece of white paint.

He stepped on the stool, and then stretched out his hand to mold it on the corner, as if he had touched an invisible strip.

"I found it! It's really here!"

Su Lun was overjoyed.

He didn't know what this forbidden item was, only that it was stuck in that inconspicuous corner.

Now that I have it in my hand, I look at it with the eye of omniscience, and I immediately know what the transparent thing in my hand is.

[Shroud of the Iceman of Oz]

Description: It is the body cloth of the long-sleeping, the sling of the living;

Curse feature: it can seal the corpse whose law level is no higher than the object itself, so that it does not leak any breath; of course, you are willing to pay the price of life, and it can also be used as an 'invisibility cloak', no one can tell your whereabouts, Or breath; get close enough to the shroud and it will absorb your life tenfold; if you insist on wrapping it around you, necromancy will take your life a thousandfold;

Detailed explanation: This is a shroud that was peeled off from a mysterious ancient corpse at least 20,000 years ago, absorbing the curse of a very terrifying undead; have you seen it? No, no one can see it.

When Su Lun touched the transparent bar in his hand before, he felt a little weird.

Now that he saw this detailed explanation, he knew that it was the feeling of ten times the passing of life.

Moreover, the curse characteristic of this forbidden object can be brought with you at any time, and it can absorb life tenfold at any time.

Wearing it for one day and consuming it a thousand times is equivalent to losing nearly three years of life!

However, compared to being caught and killed on the spot, this price is simply too worth it.

"No wonder Albuquerque thinks that if he gets this thing, he will confidently escape from the Umbrella Organization's roundup. This thing is simply an artifact of escape!"

When Su Lun got this thing, the cloud of death that hung in his heart suddenly disappeared.

gamble,

I seem to have won again.

However, now is not the time to feel emotional, Su Lun picked up the two-meter bandage and started wrapping it around his body. Just when I was thinking about how to wrap my body in such a short time, I thought together, and the bandage seemed to be alive.

It was like a small transparent snake that greedily sucked the breath of living beings, wandering around Su Lun, circle after circle, and wrapped him tightly in a blink of an eye.

At this moment, Su Lun could feel that he was tied up like a mummy, firmly.

He looked down at his hands, still able to see.

But in a blink of an eye, I looked at the mirror in the room, and it was very strange that in the room where there were two big living people, I saw only Reina with her eyes closed.

The place where Su Lun was standing was empty!

"completely disappeared"

Seeing that he disappeared in the mirror, Su Lun finally saw the hope of escaping.

However, he also found a problem.

It just disappeared in the optical sense, his body was real.

There are also obvious footprints on the stall underfoot.

Su Lun knew that some experts with super-sensation would definitely be able to spot this anomaly, so he didn't dare to stay in the room.

Before leaving, he glanced at Lena, who was still standing honestly, and said: "Remember, no matter what happens. As soon as someone asks you, you will bite to death and be kidnapped by me, threatened with death, and coerced to get up. upstairs."

Reina nodded obediently: "Oh."

Su Lun thought for a while, and then said softly, "Thank you."

Hearing this, Reina didn't open her eyes, and a slight smile appeared on her pretty face.

Then, she heard the door slamming.

For a long time, there was no movement in the room.

Reina guessed something and asked cautiously, "Mr. Su Lun, are you still there?"

No one responded.

She asked again, "Can I open my eyes?"

Still no response.

At this time, Reina still didn't dare to open her eyes, because she remembered that Mr. Su Lun said that opening her eyes would cause trouble.

After waiting for a while, there was a sudden movement outside the window glass.

A person jumped in and asked eagerly, "Miss Reina, are you all right?"

Reina opened her eyes again.

Su Lun was no longer in the room.

Everything that happened just now was a dream.

The eldest lady of the Reis family was kidnapped, and the matter quickly reached the top of the umbrella organization.

This bad hijacking incident immediately caused violent turmoil in the upper class.

When the top professionals who were originally at the headquarters heard the news and rushed to save people, they suddenly heard that the matter had been resolved.

The hostage was successfully rescued, but the suspect disappeared.

Umbrella's technicians carefully inspected room 505 of the Moon Hotel.

A middle-aged man who is not angry and self-righteous, with a dark face, listened to the report of his subordinates in the room.

"So. You, the City Defense Department, and the Security Team, a total of 30 elite teams came, or did you let the suspect escape under your nose?"

"Sorry, Your Excellency Major General. We did watch him hijack the room where the eldest lady of the Reyes family entered. Then, we were afraid that he would hurt the hostage and did not rush to do it. But when the senior professionals of the organization arrived, the room Reina-san is the only one left."

"Ha ha."

The middle-aged man suppressed the anger in his heart.

Originally, the matter of intercepting the Crusaders' escort team was just a small task.

All people are cleaned up, and the "pollutants" are contained, and there will be no waves at all.

But I didn't expect that a second-order professional would lead a team to kill a group of "little fish" from the gangster from the outer city, and they actually let people kill a few, and they still escaped?

Then so many resources have been mobilized, even if no one is caught.

Now there is a well-known kidnapping case in the city, and now people have escaped?

If it weren't for the capable subordinates that he brought out in front of him, his ability has been recognized, and the middle-aged people really doubt that the current cadres in their umbrella organization are all idiots!

Although it has been confirmed that the fugitive has the strength of a quasi-second-order professional, it has also proved that there are major loopholes in the internal intelligence system of the organization.

Otherwise, how could such a strong person be just a nameless person in the Cross Society, and completely blank in the Umbrella Organization?

Thinking of this, the high-level members of the umbrella organization are naturally angry.

"Are there any clues to the identity of the suspect? Don't say that you haven't found out such a highly recognizable planting outfit."

"There are clues. We retrieved the files according to the clues and found that a few months ago, the Shadow Lane black market did auction a 'gold quality' spider breeding blueprint that has never been recorded. And from the point of view of efficacy, it is basically match"

"A few months ago? Hehe, you mean at least a veteran firearms expert, a fugitive who knows the secrets and no servants, and has only been a full-time professional for a few months? A few months of novice professional, I will reorganize dozens of you. Did the team play around in circles?"

"."

The atmosphere was awkward.

The employee was scolded bloody the whole time.

But that's what it is, and these are the clues they've found.

Although, they themselves do not believe it.

The middle-aged man knew that getting angry now wouldn't solve the problem, and asked again, "Have you figured out why the robbers came to kidnap the Miss Reyes family. I heard when I came here before that the two seem to know each other?"

"Yes. The eldest Miss of the Reyes family was also with her bodyguard and the eldest Miss of the Cortes family, Julia, and they both confirmed that they both knew each other. But Miss Reina couldn't provide more. information, just saying that he was coerced, and we don’t ask too much.”

"What about this room?"

"There are some abnormal traces in the corner of the ceiling. After investigation and comparison, the staff of the trace department found that there should be a transparent object pasted there. We investigated the relevant files and guessed that this may have been lost in the theft of the Bravo family's treasure house. That forbidden item—[The Shroud of the Iceman of Oz].”

"So, what do you want to say, the stolen goods that you have been investigating for a few years and haven't been found, the suspect came and took them directly, and then borrowed the forbidden object and escaped?"

"Yes."

After listening to the report from his subordinates, the middle-aged man looked through the archives of the entire arrest process, and the anger on his face turned into serious thinking.

"From the very beginning, whether it was using a taxi to mislead the pursuit, or using a fake password to punch the card, the suspect showed extraordinary calmness. His thinking was very clear, and he showed very accurate throughout the whole process of anti-arrest. Purpose. He went to City No. 4 first, and after being blocked, he came back to the Moon Hotel to pick up the forbidden items, so his purpose was always clear, that is, to escape!"

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man's eyes narrowed.

"Notify everyone to focus on blocking and investigating the fourth city. The suspect's destination is still in the fourth city, especially the rivers, sewers, and smuggling channels leading to the outer city."

"Yes!"

After the middle-aged man gave the order, his brows still did not loosen.

"Being able to make such a quick response in the warehouse, it is not ruled out that he knew in advance that [Isaac's Alchemy Codex] was hidden in this batch of goods, which is strange, Sambu should not have been exposed, how the news leaked By the way, is there any change between that Mrs. Philo and the forces behind her?"

"Not yet."

"Watch them!"

"Yes!"

"Also, there's a high probability that you won't be able to catch that guy, so prepare to go to the outer city to kill him. Don't you have that kid's blood coat? Notify Sergei, the "epidemic doctor" of the Crow Gang, and tell him to find him. Inform Sambu to kill, and must not let the suspect and the senior leaders of the Cross Society meet! "

"Yes!"

"The most important point is that the Duke's Mansion has already issued a death order, and the manuscript cannot be lost! If it goes out and contaminates other people, it will have a huge impact on our old Lingdon. Remember, as long as the people who come into contact with the notes will be Clean it up! It's such a big mess this time, if you let people run away, don't come back!"

"Yes!"
