Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 44 The peep of the mysterious man

After the Tongzilou ambush incident, the turf battle on Green Street also temporarily ceased.

It's not just that the Steam Party has signed the armistice agreement this time, but more importantly, the "Red Devil" Goron has become a cadre of the Cross Society, responsible for covering several teams near Green Street. There is such a second-order professional with super powerful combat power, and the other party wants to make another black hand, and the price paid is much higher.

As for the "scythe", the information left by the monster's memory fragments was different from that of human beings. It was vague and simple. It only had the concept of turning the road, but not the concept of space up, down, left, and right. Therefore, Su Lun knew how to find it through the entrance of the burrow, but did not know its precise location.

It means that if he wants to find it, he has to go down again from the cave in Tongzilou.

Su Lun didn't go down again until he was no longer able to protect himself.

Therefore, his goal is to find his suitable alchemy equipment as soon as possible.

He plans to go to the black market to try his luck to see if he can buy more advanced blueprints.

As a last resort, he was unwilling to go to the gang headquarters to exchange the silver blueprint of [Thousand Killing Wings].

After all, in that case, exchanging the blueprint will reveal the fact that his body has a high containment value, which may attract the attention of those who care.

Normal people know that there are no special circumstances. The higher the containment value, the higher the rank of the breathing method.

As for the high-grade breathing techniques, most of them are mastered by the top chaebols in the inner city, and even the exclusive exercises of some big families.

Su Lun felt more and more that the [Higam Breathing Method] that the original master learned was of extremely high grade, and he definitely couldn't see the light.

In a short time, he still intends to be his little transparent.

The "Shadow Alley" black market has an auction every month with a variable time.

During the auction, hunters, mercenaries and professional thieves concentrated on sales, and shopkeepers in the black market would also auction off good things and collections collected from various channels, so there would be many good things.

On this day, Su Lun got a new delivery of "Old Lington" at the hotel.

In the inconspicuous wide-angle corner, he saw a message.

[Recruitment information: Greenham Printing Factory recruits 12 workers, with a monthly salary of 2180 riso, working day and night.]

The translation is, Sunday and night at 12 o'clock. 2180 is half of the invitation code. People who often go to the black market have another code in their hands. Adding them together is the invitation code.

It is said that each faction obtained the password from a different source, not just the same news in the newspaper. If something goes wrong, the organizers behind the black market can follow this code to find where the problem lies.

It is worth mentioning that "cryptography" is an entry-level ability for alchemists.

Passwords in newspapers are also the easiest to use.

In the last era when alchemy was brilliantly developed (a thousand years ago), in order to prevent their research results from being stolen by others, and to cover up the secrets of some amazing research, alchemists would chop up knowledge and disperse it in many places .

The content of almost all ancient alchemy scrolls that have been handed down is hidden under the code, and it must be deciphered to know the content. The purpose is to make sure that those who come into contact are truly worthy of it.

Therefore, the phrase "a book opens another book" that Sir Isaac, known as the "alchemy demigod", often mentioned in his notes has also become the motto of later alchemists.

Su Lun asked Kai to take a leave of absence, saying that he was going to the black market.

Because of Tongzilou's experience of adversity, he now has an extraordinary relationship with Kai, and his request for leave is also very smooth.

He intends to try his luck at the auction to see if he can find a suitable blueprint for the breeding outfit, and also to see if he can get another rune gun.

After all, the [Three-Headed Ghost] is so recognizable that anyone in the gang recognizes it as the gun of the killer "Iron Head" Ivan.

Taking the tram to the Byrd Street intersection in North City, Su Lun arrived two hours early.

After observing that there was no suspicious situation around him, he walked towards the "Shadow Alley".

There is an auction tonight, so there is a gate installed.

A small window opened behind the iron gate, and the toll collector was a strong man with tattoos all over his hands.

Everyone who enters needs to report an invitation code and pay an entry fee of 5,000 lisos.

It cost five thousand before buying anything, which made Su Lun feel a little distressed. But this is also to put an end to the vast majority of guys who are purely watching the fun.

This is not the first time Su Lun has come to the black market, and he is already familiar with it.

But when I came here today, there were indeed many more people here than usual, most of them were large windbreakers + peaked caps covering their faces, or hood masks, mysterious costumes.

Su Lun, wearing a deerstalker hat, was inconspicuous in the crowd.

There is no specific hall for the black market auction. It is a bit like the "market" in the vegetable market in the previous life. Everyone finds their own place and waits for the auction to start.

It was still early, and Su Lun wandered the narrow streets built with steel frames. He found that the original owner's "seeking notice" on the notice board was still hanging there.

But today, in the most conspicuous position, a red missing person notice has been added.

"If you provide information, you can get a million lisos?"

Su Lun was interested in seeing the bounty, and stopped for a while.

The black and white photo shows a woman with delicate features and a very capable temperament, who looks like a work photo of a white-collar worker in an office. Judging from the photos, it can be seen that she has a completely different temperament from the commoners in the outer city, and should be an inner city person.

"This is comparable to the amount of the reward for S-Wanted criminals. What did the woman in this photo do?"

Su Lun was puzzled and didn't stay for long.

While a million-dollar bounty is attractive, a high bounty also means high risk.

A bounty comparable to an S-level wanted criminal, he didn't want to be a bounty hunter, even if he really met the real master.

Su Lun left the notice board, and at this moment, happened to pass by two men in black trench coats.

Physically, the two appear to be a man and a woman.

As soon as Su Lun passed by, the man glanced sideways and muttered to his companion: "Hey, I think that guy looked familiar to me just now. Although he covered his face, I'm sure I should have seen him before. ."

The woman in the trench coat said indifferently: "Half of the black market are wanted criminals, or they have a criminal record in the organization. It's normal for you to look familiar. But this is not our territory, and it's best not to do too much."

The male eyebrow in the trench coat withdrew his gaze and didn't think about it any further: "Yeah!"

At the same time, Su Lun, who pretended not to know anything, continued to walk forward, but his face became solemn, and he murmured in his heart, "Have you been noticed?"

He also felt an invisible pressure after passing by those two people just now. That is the kind of rank coercion that can only be experienced when facing high-level professionals like cadres.

His current super-high mental power has made his perception ability very sharp, and it has also allowed him to perceive some subtle things: such as the sight of others.

He was quite sure that when he passed by just now, the man glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.

"That guy should have some special recognition ability to recognize something, or maybe just curious."

Su Lun doesn't think that the bald-headed and eyebrow-free self is much similar to the original owner, but in this world with extraordinary abilities, if you want to identify people, you won't just rely on your eyes to identify people.

He was just alert, but after a while, the feeling of being watched disappeared, and Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief.

It looked like it was a random glance.

He didn't delay much on the street, looked at the signboard of "Rosen's Alchemy Shop" on the side of the road, and plunged in.
