Chapter 122 The Plague Doctor (for a thousand months
Half a day later, outer city.
Su Lun, covered in stains, ran out of a sewer in the North City.
As soon as he came out, he immediately collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily. Although the air quality in Beicheng Industrial Zone was so bad that you could inhale half of the dust in one breath, it was much better than the poisonous gas in the sewer!
As soon as he took a few breaths, the mask dissipated. Without any further delay, he quickly took out the "powerful antidote" and stabbed it into his neck.
The next second, the poisonous black color on his face stopped spreading.
After taking the detoxification needle, Su Lun let out a long sigh of relief.
"How many horrific monsters were created when the 'X serum' was leaked... The sewers are almost full!"
Looking at the dark sewer mouth, he still felt lingering fear.
The level of danger in the caves is so great that you don't even need to be hunted down in the inner city.
If he hadn't run so fast with eight legs just now, the centipede with more than a thousand legs that could spit fire and poison would have almost killed him on the spot.
If this was the case when Danny escaped three years ago, his more than one hundred kilograms of flesh would not be enough to fill the teeth of those terrifying aberrations.
However, he was lucky to survive after all.
.......
Su Lun looked back at the towering inner city wall with a somewhat complicated look.
I originally planned to go with the escort team to gain experience, but I didn’t expect that this one-day trip to the inner city would turn into a one-day trip to the gate of hell.
All kinds of pursuits and interceptions made him feel like he was jumping repeatedly at the gate of hell.
However, I almost lost my life, but I also gained two things.
There was a steel wire pulled not far behind him, and there seemed to be something invisible tied to the wire.
That was naturally the forbidden object that saved his life this time - [The Iceman of Oz's Shroud].
Just spending half a day in the city consumes one or two years of life.
He survived, and the price was worth it, but he didn't dare to let it go.
This thing is indeed a good life-saving treasure, but it cannot be put into a storage ring, and it cannot be tied to the body at any time, so it can only be dragged far away.
Although the "lifespan" item was not visible on the data panel, as long as this thing was within one meter of him, he noticed slight changes in certain body values.
Therefore, he also speculated that the range of influence of this forbidden object is about one meter.
Su Lun thought that if he wanted to carry it with him in the future, he would have to tie it to a "living corpse".
Living corpses have no lifespan, so this curse should be ignored.
He has even thought of a very suitable puppet tactic. When the time comes, he will create an "invisible living corpse", which will be a natural assassin. If the sickle can also be tied to the "invisible", it will be a killer weapon for the Yin people.
Even top professionals might be tricked by him.
...
The shroud was left like this for the time being.
Taking advantage of the breather, Su Lun took out the volume [Isaac's Alchemy Manuscript] in his arms.
The cover formerly titled "Precious New Pearls" has rotted in the sewer, revealing the true form of the manuscript.
The book cover is made of rough material that feels like crocodile skin. There is a very complex eight-pointed star alchemy array engraved on the cover. The identification shows that it is "unrecognized high-level sealing system technique".
Just looking at the cover, a strong sense of mystery comes over me.
When you turn it over, the page is even weirder. It doesn't feel like dry parchment, but like "living human skin".
When touched, the pages of the book will even tremble slightly like a girl's sensitive skin.
If Su Lun didn't know this thing and it looked so evil, he would probably find a place to hide it first.
But once the Eye of True Sight identified it, this manuscript was not only not evil, but actually had great uses.
However, its curse properties are somewhat special.
[Isaac’s Alchemical Manuscript III]
Description: A volume of alchemical notes written on the skin of an unknown creature;
Curse characteristics: Destiny is an endless chain of cause and effect, and the development of the world itself also follows this principle and cause and effect. This is a notebook stained with fate, which will cause the people who come into contact with it to be involved in the cause and effect of the note...
Whether it is a blessing or a curse, who knows?
Detailed explanation: Carry it with you to obtain the halo 'Sir Isaac's Blessing', which will make you learn alchemy twice the result with half the effort; you will often have 'epiphanies' and 'flash of ideas' to understand some mysterious alchemical knowledge;
The characteristic of the curse is that getting the note will involve cause and effect.
Su Lun thought this was nothing at all.
There is cause and effect, and everything follows this law.
Afraid of getting into trouble?
I was selected to be part of the escort team before, and I was already in trouble.
Even if I lose my notebook now, I can't get rid of it.
Therefore, this curse characteristic does not have any impact on Su Lun.
What's more, it's all marked, whether it's a blessing or a curse, who knows?
On the contrary, its positive buff aura "Isaac's Blessing" made Suellen feel that this codex was of great use.
He is now exposed to more and more alchemical knowledge, and it is becoming more and more advanced. Many deep alchemy techniques not only take time to learn, but also require understanding to understand.
This notebook will increase his learning efficiency by N times, and the benefits are absolutely immeasurable.
Moreover, seeing that the codex number is "Ⅲ", it means that there are at least two such codexes. Not surprisingly, one volume is in the hands of the person who left the words on his retina.
As for the content, it is also encrypted, and now is not the time to decipher it.
After Su Lun breathed and recovered for a moment, he put away his notes.
Now he still has one important thing to do, and that is: run away.
Escape from the inner city is only the first step, and the crisis is far from over.
........
Although Su Lun was also a wanted criminal in the past, because he kept a low profile, his life in the gang had little impact.
Now being hunted by the Umbrella Organization, the situation is completely different.
Moreover, now that we know that the smoker Sangbu is a mole, there must be more hidden connections in the inner city within the Cross Society.
Naturally, the Cross Society cannot go back, and even the identity of "Su Lun" cannot be used in the outer city for the time being.
He could only go out of the city to hide.
After all, no matter how powerful the tracking is, it is regional and effective.
As long as you run far enough, all tracking methods are useless.
It just so happened that a large hunting camp was built over at Dawn City, and long-term life outside the city was guaranteed.
Su Lun thought that he had originally planned to go and have a look, but now was the time.
What he has to do now is to go back to Green Street, pick up his belongings and run away.
After all, if you want to leave the city, you still have to take life-saving things like sickles and living corpses with you.
Su Lun had already thought of an escape plan in his mind and ran all the way.
........
Not long after, Su Lun unlocked a motorcycle on the road in Beicheng and drove all the way towards Nancheng.
Because he had anticipated that he might run away one day, he was also prepared and had several channels to secretly leave the city.
Moreover, the outer city is not as good as the inner city, and he is very familiar with local snakes. There are not so many professionals in the outer city, and the pursuers do not have such good mechanical equipment. Even if they are surrounded, the risk factor is not high.
The premise is that you don't encounter second-level professionals.
However, the outer city is vast and sparsely populated, so the chance of encountering the second level is a thousand times lower than that of the inner city.
Not long after, the motorcycle was racing all the way and had already entered the territory of the Cross Society in Nancheng District.
This means that the number of enemies will decrease sharply.
But Su Lun was not careless.
He knew very well that if those guys from the Umbrella Organization didn't arrest anyone, they must have guessed that he was already in the outer city.
Su Lun didn't know what the other party's methods were, but such a large organization would definitely not just let it go.
He was very careful all the way and was always on guard against others chasing him.
Motorcycles ride very fast. Not only are ordinary people unable to catch up at this speed, even if someone is following them, they will be discovered in an instant.
But in the end, no matter how careful he was, he was still chased.
It protects people, but there are other things.
While riding, Su Lun suddenly spotted a red-eyed crow flying behind his motorcycle.
After turning the corner, the crow still followed.
With a casual shot, the crow fell to the ground.
However, after this shot, Su Lun had a very bad feeling.
In Old Town, crows only like to gather in the east city. Because only the old-school warlocks from the crow gang will feed these scavenging birds that portend ominous things. Crows are the belief and ability of those guys.
Sure enough, the premonition became reality.
After Su Lun killed the first crow, he gradually found that more and more crows were following him.
They are like surveillance cameras, their red eyes staring into people's hearts.
There were more and more crows. Su Lun shot them all, and the crows exploded into clouds of green blood mist.
In an instant, he recognized who the user of this ability was, and was greatly surprised: "Sergey, the "epidemic doctor" of the Crow Gang! How can this guy help the Umbrella Organization?!"
.......
Sergey is the younger brother of "Crow Godfather" Gwenbu, the president of the Crow Gang, the three major gangs in the outer city, and a feared veteran second-level professional.
These "old school" alchemists all mastered some strange abilities that were strange and very tricky.
This Sergei's profession is the "Plague Doctor", he is good at all kinds of curses, tracking, and invisible killings.
This is the guy that even the Cross Society cadres dislike seeing the most.
Legend has it that Sergei has a secret tracking technique. As long as his crows swallow the blood, nails and hair of the target, his crows will help him find the target.
Seeing the group of crows, Su Lun no longer doubted that he had been discovered.
But at this time, while riding a motorcycle and just about to raise his gun, he felt a scratch in his throat, as if there was something blocked, and he retched.
The next second, there was a sound of "vomit~".
He suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a black crow with feathers, and it flew away.
Seeing this, Su Lun felt a chill in his heart: "Curse!"
