Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 142 Wait, I'll Kill Two People

"Boom"

When the bell is struck, the sound waves are like ripples on the water surface, spreading in circles in the misty air.

After this heavy bell rang, I suddenly heard the long and clearer bell sound of "dong", "dong" and "dong".

The two different bells overlapped, as if they gradually overlapped with another time and space.

Su Lun only felt that the light and shadow in front of him flickered, and the surrounding scene began to change rapidly.

He was already familiar with this situation and knew that he had been sucked into the cursed space.

It was a cold night.

The scene before him changed, and Su Lun found himself at an "X-shaped" intersection.

He took a quick look around his surroundings.

On the left side of the intersection is a towering red brick clock tower, a full one hundred meters high, and the top of the tower is still bright;

The "dong dong" sound was still echoing in his ears.

Looking up at the time on the clock tower, the black hands on the white dial point exactly to twelve o'clock.

This is the chime of midnight.

A hundred meters to the right is a majestic white monastery.

The street at midnight was deserted and quiet, and a thin black mist filled the entire street.

The ground is wet rock, not spacious. There are obvious stripes and narrow lines on the thin snow, which are like the traces of a carriage.

There are retro-style hexagonal gas lamps on both sides of the street, and black iron flower fences surround roadside flower beds.

There was a row of residential houses with red roofs ahead, and the dim light of the frosted glass flickered. It was the light of the firewood burning in the fireplace shining through the glass window, adding a touch of warmth to this cold winter night.

It's snowing?

"Will it snow in Dawn City in a thousand years?"

Su Lun looked at the intact buildings around him, astonishingly like the scene in Dawn City a thousand years ago.

At this time, on the road in front of him, a bright black carriage happened to gallop past. The bell "ding bell bell" on the neck of the jujube red horse makes a clear sound, and the horse's hooves are stepping on the stone road with "keep" and "keep".

Through the window glass, you can also see an old gentleman in a dress sitting inside.

The carriage ran across the street, a flurry of snowflakes rolled up, and the cold wind poured into the collar of the trench coat.

Can't help but shudder.

There are shadows, there are lights, and the chimneys are slowly blowing white smoke.

There is a firework that seems to be in the real world.

It's a wonderful feeling.

It seems to have traveled through history, and the picture of history is vividly displayed in front of us.

"Mr. Jonny? Where are we?"

On the side, a little boy in light clothes shouted tentatively, and he also carried a basket of matches in his hand.

The little boy who sold matches?

Su Lun didn't recognize Tommy, but he heard his tone and responded lightly, "Curse the space."

He looked at Tommy's attire, guessed something, and asked, "What do you think I'm wearing now?"

Tommy said, "Patrol uniform."

Su Lun looked at himself in the attire of a hunter, and his eyes were suddenly filled with surprise.

He stared and looked at the real badge on his chest.

【The police badge of the Auroville Patrol】

Stun +3

Detailed explanation: An alchemy jewelry, the identity proof of the Auroville Patrol; with it, you are a patrol officer with law enforcement power. But be careful, it will draw the killer's attention extra.

"I'm a patrolman? Cursed space in role-playing mode? Kind of interesting"

Su Lun raised her eyebrows in disbelief at the hint that it was easy to attract monsters.

He looked down at his hands again.

There is an extra kraft paper file bag in his hand.

Opened it up, it was a case record.

[Files of Patrolman's Confession in the Homicide Case on Bell Tower Street]

Case Number: MST-07 Serial Murder Case

Case Status: Unresolved

Sheriff: Flower Scott

Witness/Assistant: Patrol Jonny

The file records as follows: A male body was found this morning in the alley of No. 44 Bell Tower Street, with his face and internal organs eaten; this is the seventh homicide in the block, the murderer's modus operandi and the first six Exactly the same; someone witnessed a cloaked man wandering near the intersection of the clock tower at midnight; if there is a suspected aberration incident, please handle it with caution, and apply for the support of the special organization of the city guard if necessary

"This is a cursed space with a plot background. Do you want me to find the murderer?"

Su Lun glanced at the file quickly.

However, the content of this file is very misleading.

He had seen through the eyes of omniscience that the name of this cursed space was [The Legend of the Clocktower], and he also guessed that the murderer was probably on the red brick clock tower in his left hand.

Moreover, the way to get out is not to catch the murderer.

but to fulfill a wish.

The point of this file is to find the murderer

But since Omniscient Pupil judged it to be a "D-level" difficulty space, Su Lun was in no hurry.

Besides, the gun is there, the storage ring is there, and the corpse sickle is also there.

There is more than one way to break the game.

But then again, this scene is quite real.

Looking at the vivid ancient street scenes around him, he had no interest in the murderer.

The bustling Dawn City a thousand years ago is even more curious!

Entering the cursed space for the first time, Tommy on the side looked a little nervous: "Mr. Jonny. Where are we going now? Are we going to find the source of this cursed space?"

"Well. But in no hurry."

Su Lun nodded, looked at the two sneaky guys not far away, and said, "Wait here, I'll kill two people."

kill?

Tommy was taken aback.

His tone was as calm as if he said you wait for me to buy some oranges.

Without waiting for him to ask more, Su Lun walked over.

He took out his police badge and said to the two guys in black trench coats with pipes in the corners of their mouths: "Hello, please show your ID documents."

The two were a little confused, and they didn't seem to have reacted from their new identities, "We are detectives and want to investigate."

But before the words were finished, Su Lun asked, "A man from the War Knife Group?"

"how do you"

Before the man's words were finished, Su Lun drew his gun expressionlessly, and the two "bump" guns made a blood hole between the eyebrows of the two of them.

The corpse fell to the ground, Su Lun harvested a wave of experience, and Suo Mo pulled out the storage ring on the corpse.

He thought about it in his mouth: "There are ten in total, and there are eight more."

After killing the two, Su Lun tilted his head to look at Tommy who was stunned there, and greeted, "Let's go."

Tommy trotted over and asked, "Mr. Jonny, why did you kill them?"

He was also very smart and guessed something: "Are those two people from the Battle Knife Group just now?"

Su Lun: "You recognize them?"

Tommy: "Yeah."

Su Lun didn't explain much, "You'll know in a while."

Tommy: "Ah, where are we going now?"

Su Lun: "Go and see what Dawn City was like a thousand years ago."

go out?

Coming to such an interesting place, it's a waste of opportunity to just go out like this.

Clearing out the squad of the War Knives is just a small objective incidentally.

The most important thing is that he has 100% confirmed that this accompanying space is related to the "Wailing Witch", so he still needs to find some key clues in the space to sort out the ins and outs of the incident.

Su Lun led Kai down the street. He didn't go to the clock tower or the monastery first, but went directly to a big red-roofed house with lights at the intersection.

Tee, Tee, Tee!

Knocking on the door, Su Lun looked at the name of the head of the household on the nameplate beside the door, and shouted to the door: "Sorry for disturbing you late at night, Mr. Smith. I'm Officer Jonny, and I have something to ask you. "

He quickly adapted to his role.

A female voice responded: "Oh, it's Officer Jonny. Wait a minute."

Listening to the rustling movement, it was like wearing clothes.

After waiting for half a minute, the door opened, and a blonde lady in a Victorian-style tutu opened the door.

She looked at Su Lun and seemed to know him: "Officer Jonny, please sit in the room."

Su Lun was not polite and walked in.

The room is elegantly decorated, with crystal chandeliers and mahogany furniture, delicate ceramics and silver dinner plates on the table, a fire in the fireplace, a stuffed deer head and a shotgun on the wall.

This is a rich family.

Su Lun entered the room and looked around quickly, "I'm bothering you to rest, Mrs. Smith."

The blond woman muttered, "Oh, you have to go out to patrol the streets in such a heavy snow, Officer Jonny, you are working too hard, is there another murder case? God, it's scary, recently There is bad news every day."

After a pause, she said again, "Coffee or black tea?"

"Tea, thank you."

Su Lun replied casually, entered the role of a patrol officer, and asked, "Mrs. Smith, have you noticed anything unusual in the block recently?"

Mrs. Smith fiddled with the kettle on the fireplace, poured a cup of tea for Su Lun, and added: "When the clock struck midnight last night, I seemed to hear a very painful cry from the direction of the clock tower."

When bending over, Su Lun saw a large snow-white ravine through her neckline and the steel frame corset around her waist.

"Oh."

Su Lun didn't sit on the sofa, but went to the decorative bookshelf next to him and took out a thick gilded book.

Turned over, there is no writing on the page.

The same is true for the other several books, except for one of the classics of the "Basic Alchemy Encyclopedia", where I saw some scattered fragments of the Old Nedsian text.

Seeing this, Su Lun was not surprised, and continued to ask questions while looking at it.

"Have you heard from Sir Isaac lately?"

"No, no"

"Does your family plan to install a mechanical prosthesis?"

"."

"Do you know where that tall black tower leads?"

"."

"Have you studied alchemy?"

"Sorry, I'm not a warlock, but it was a book my mayor's husband bought to decorate. But he hasn't come back for three days."

"Won't Mr. Smith be back tonight?"

"Oh, Officer Jonny, you're too direct. Maybe you should be more subtle."

"."

"Is there an alchemist nearby?"

"The old nun from the White Monastery opposite seems to be a very powerful warlock"

"Have you noticed anything unusual about that monastery?"

"Apart from a few nuns and cooing pigeons, there is nothing unusual there."

"Do you have any special impression of those nuns?"

"I only remember a little girl named Alice. She was very beautiful. She used to play the harmonica by herself in the attic of the convent. Oh, it was a sad song that brought tears to my eyes."

"."

After asking a few more questions, Su Lun knew that he probably couldn't get more information.

Very mechanical answer.

This cursed space is a memory fragment of the "curse source". The street scene can be restored in memory, but it is impossible to restore a group of people with living souls.

These people are like NPCs in the game, who can make simple responses but not have too complicated emotions.

Questions that are beyond cognition, or have nothing to do with task events, will be selectively "inaudible".

(This is a low-level space. The more advanced the cursed space is, the closer it will be to the real world.)

Su Lun didn't stay in the house much, but said to Tommy, "You just stay in the house and don't come out under any circumstances."

Tommy was a little puzzled: "Why?"

Su Lun said: "The monster will come out to kill at midnight, but the seven people in the file died on the street, so the house should be relatively safe. Just stay with this Mrs. Smith and remember not to come out at any time. "

Tommy: "Oh. Mr. Jonny, what about you?"

Su Lun: "I'll find some other clues."

After a pause, he turned to the blond lady again and said, "Mrs. Smith, can you help me take care of him? I'll be back soon."

Mrs Smith responded, "Of course. Officer Jonny."

Su Lun knew that this cursed space was "D-level" to him, but to others, it was indeed "A-level" with high casualties.

It might be dangerous to walk around with Tommy.

And Su Lun has some speculation.

Since they enter this cursed space, they all have their own "roles".

Then there is a possibility that both of their "characters" died on the street.

Otherwise, the police badge on the chest will not remind "especially attractive murderers", nor will it be so "real".

The rules of the cursed space of the plot flow are very simple, everything is constructed from the memory of the murderer.

Things are real, but not beyond the murderer's cognition.

It was as if the murderer hadn't read the books on the shelves, it was just blank.

The one I read has the text.

Only when the murderer has the concept of "the badge is an alchemical item" will it be identified as an alchemical item.

This is a space where the plot is simple as long as it is carefully sorted out.

As long as you investigate a little bit of intelligence, you will find that all clues point to two places, the Red Tower Clock Tower and the White Monastery.

But the difficulty is that this is the point of the backstory, not the point of the game-breaking method.

Su Lun walked out of the door and stepped on the wet flagstone street again.

Snowflakes falling from the sky fell on shoulders and hats, and from time to time they turned back into a thin layer of accumulation.

Su Lun patted the snowflakes on his shoulders and strolled down the street.

The cold wind made his thoughts extraordinarily clear.

Then I visited a few more and collected several ancient books with scattered information.

A few questions were asked, and the situation was similar.

These NPCs only talk a lot when it comes to that nun named "Alice".

There is also an old lady with a window attic facing the clock tower, saying that she once saw a strange person on the clock tower

These are critical intelligence.

The patrol police who investigated back then should have also found this information.

The original process is that "players" need to collect this information, and then be directed to the red brick clock tower to find monsters.

But Su Lun was in no hurry.

Different choices lead to different outcomes.

Just like playing those open-ended plot games, Su Lun directly kills the monsters in the clock tower or completes his last wish, without knowing the background of the game, he can also clear the level.

But the plot is over.

He lost the meaning of coming to this cursed space.

So, Su Lun chose the second one.

He went to the street, intending to go to the monastery to see how the Weeping Witch was formed.

Now that it is determined that this place is not the "Wailing Witch's Space", then the monastery will not be too dangerous.

That is a normal scene.

But there will be a very important background to the story line.

As he walked, his thoughts were flying, but Su Lun unexpectedly found a few lost lambs.

In a pub, he saw a table of guys in detective costumes arguing about something.

Although the appearance has changed, Su Lun heard the origins of several people from their words.

"Damn it! What the hell is the answer to that question? Solo answered 'ugly', Martin answered 'not ugly' and was killed, and Gek was killed for not answering! I suspect that the cloaked monster just wanted to kill for fun. "

"Stop complaining, think of other ways. We are staying in the house for the time being safe, but we are stuck in this cursed space for the rest of our lives and can't get out? I just heard some news from the bartender, saying that there is a wack"

"."

This group of people is also thinking of a way to crack it. It sounds like the three people who were not present have been killed by the "murderer".

Su Lun walked in, didn't say a word, and fired.

A shot of gunfire flashed across the tavern.

Although the tavern was destroyed by the explosion of the enemy's counterattack, the five people, including the leader "Bomb Madman" Collins, were all killed.

Su Lun put away the explosion-proof puppet, as if he had done something trivial.

He walked out of the tavern and continued towards the white-walled monastery.

There is a monastery in the city of alchemists who do not believe in gods?

This is what Su Lun is most curious about.

And what does that nun named Alice have to do with the weird guy on the clock tower?
