Facing the other party's inquiry, Su Lun said what he had planned for a long time, saying: "I am a hunter. My team encountered a group of 'Lightning Lizards' before, and I was separated from my team. Now I
There is a lack of food and water. If you are willing, I would like to buy some, or exchange some..."
Because of his lack of understanding of the world, he tried to speak ambiguously.
This was half true and half false, but it wasn't completely nonsense. He had indeed encountered a group of giant lizards before.
Unexpectedly, these people in front of me seemed to be hunting big lizards that were as fast as cheetahs.
Su Lun clearly caught him saying this, and the faces of several people across from him were filled with joy.
Sure enough, someone asked directly: "Have you encountered a group of 'Lightning Lizards'?"
"Yes."
Su Lun turned back and pointed to the passage and said: "On the left hand side of this passage, leading to Area B11, there is a large group. I guess there is one of their lairs there."
After hearing the accurate answer, the faces of those opposite me became even more joyful.
The captain with mechanical prosthetics glanced at the gun on Su Lun's waist from the corner of his eye, and asked: "Are you alone? Which hunting group are you from?"
Su Lun said casually without thinking, "I am from the Straw Hat Hunting Group."
"oh?"
The captain's eyes narrowed slightly and he didn't know what he thought of. His eyes glanced at the black storage ring in Su Lun's hand and asked: "Are you from the Crow Gang?"
When he said this, the eight people across from him looked at each other with vaguely unkind expressions.
"..."
Su Lun keenly caught the expressions of several people and became alert in his heart.
He didn't understand the exact meaning of the term "Crow Gang". But he vaguely felt that the other party's tone was very determined, and he seemed to see something from himself.
Clearly, something went wrong.
He felt that the problem might be the musket on his waist.
I didn't know it before, but now I compare it. He found the rune musket in the bald storage ring. It looks much more advanced than what these people have.
But obviously, admitting that you are a member of the "Crow Gang" may cause you to die on the spot.
Su Lun knew that something might happen if he asked further, so he could only respond vaguely: "As you can see, I am a free adventurer. Sorry, I just want to buy some food and water. If you don't have any extra, then
Never mind."
"Free adventurer?"
When the captain heard that Su Lun had no gang, his eyes suddenly turned playful.
But he obviously saw that Su Lun was worried, and a kind smile suddenly appeared on his face. He motioned to his subordinates to put down their guns and said: "No, what I mean is... if you don't have a gang,
You can choose us. As you can see, we are from the 'Brotherhood of Steam'. You can call me Dick."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone beside him added: "This is our captain, Dick, the famous "Silverman" in the Lange Street area of Dongcheng."
Su Lun glanced at his silver mechanical arm from the corner of his eye and said casually: "Of course, I have heard of Captain Dick's reputation."
I've worn it a thousand times, but I can't flatter you. Regardless of whether you recognize it or not, it's always right to brag about it.
From the tone of the other person, he guessed that this "Steam Brotherhood" should be a very large organization. Moreover, from the tone of the person next to him, this Dick should be very powerful...
"Silver Hand" Dick suddenly changed his attitude and greeted: "Brother, do you want to come into the camp and take a rest? We can sell you some food and drinking water."
"Thank you so much."
Although he was not pointed at a gun, Su Lun felt that he was not qualified to refuse.
He entered the camp, where a bonfire was burning.
Su Lun didn't plan to stay long, and he didn't dare to speak more. But obviously, the other party kept testing his details.
"What do you call brothers?"
"My name is Su Lun."
"Brother, aren't you a professional?"
"Well, not really."
"Oh, then you should consider our 'Steam Club'. As long as you join the gang, you will have a lot of 'job materials' and 'alchemy planting blueprints' that you need in the gang to choose from. You know, outside
Except for the 'Cross Society' and the 'Crow Gang', no one in the city can provide more resources than us. And if you want to modify mechanical prosthetics, only our 'Steam Society' is the top..."
"I will think about it..."
Suellen captured a lot of useful information from these people's words.
In that city, there seems to be a distinction between the "inner city" and the "outer city".
And there are three big gangs in the outer city...
Seeing that Su Lun didn't agree, Captain Dick talked about the purpose of their trip again.
He tentatively said: "We came out this time to prepare the cursed materials needed for the alchemy plant for the team's vice-captain Raun. Our target is the 'Lightning Lizard's Leg Tendon', or the 'Crypt Horn Dog'"
Skin'. If you have this material somewhere, brother, you can sell it to us..."
"Sorry, no. Not long after our group came out, we encountered danger and dispersed. We didn't gain much."
"..."
The atmosphere of the chat seemed quite harmonious.
The other party prepared three days' worth of drinking water and food for Su Lun.
Su Lun didn't originally intend to think that human nature was so bad, but with the next move, he knew it was time to take action.
They were handed their kettles, and the Omniscient Eye examined them and displayed a few words: [Water with nerve-paralyzing toxin].
Its purpose has been clearly revealed.
The reason why he didn't take action before was probably because the other party saw that he was alone and wasn't sure whether he had any trump cards or details. Now that he was almost done testing, it was time to take action.
Poisoning the water is the best option.
Drink it and it's all over.
Even if they don't drink, there are so many of them, it's not too late to take action.
Now that he knew that the other party had evil intentions, Su Lun looked at those guys with a vaguely evil look in his eyes.
It looked like those guys were sitting around the fire listening to chatter, but it was more like being surrounded.
Moreover, his wandering eyes were always on the gun at his waist. Probably if he made the slightest move, they would strike first.
Su Lun pretended not to know and turned on the kettle. He had no intention of getting the gun.
He knew very well that no matter how fast he drew his gun, he would only be able to fire one or two shots at most.
There were eight people on the other side.
What's more, there is that professional who poses a great threat - "Silver Hand" Dick.
But the good news is that except for the two sentries, the other six people are within ten meters of Su Lun.
And this distance is exactly the range of influence of [Cursed Object·Rune Puppet].
.......
Su Lun had a sincere smile on his face and pretended to drink water.
But just when the kettle was put to his mouth, he stopped, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Captain Dick, thank you for your warm hospitality. Although I encountered some dangers this time, I was able to gain something."
..."
As he spoke, Su Lun calmly took off the cloth bag hanging from his waist, revealing the wooden box inside.
"Brother Su Lun, you are too polite..."
Although Dick looked smiling, there was also a hint of defensiveness in his eyes.
He was very confident that even if the opponent took out a grenade and detonated it at about this time, he would be able to dodge it immediately.
"This is something I found in the ruins of a manor before. I haven't figured out its use yet, so I gave it to Captain Dick..."
Su Lun also pretended to be ignorant, with a relaxed smile on his lips, opened the box and took out the rune puppet.
Since there are such cursed objects of mind control in this world, there must be something to resist mind control.
What he actually planned in his mind was that he would have an excuse if the expected effect was not achieved.
Obviously, the other party was deceived by Su Lun's "kind" smile. Seeing that he did not make any dangerous moves that could be misunderstood, those few people were unprepared.
Of course, no one would have expected that he would come up with such an "evil thing"!
.......
The moment the doll was exposed to the air, a strange scene happened!
An invisible spiritual power fluctuated instantly.
Obviously, this doll is more powerful than expected.
Even Captain Dick's eyes froze when he saw the doll. The other five people around the campfire also seemed to have their souls taken away in an instant, and their eyes were glazed over.
This is the moment he has been waiting for!
When Su Lun saw this, a fierce light burst out from his eyes!
Without any hesitation at all, he pulled out the musket from his waist and pulled the trigger into the eyes of Captain Dick in front of him.
Su Lun had long noticed that as the only "professional" in the team, this guy had many magical and extraordinary abilities just like Bald Ivan.
Therefore, even if he is controlled, Su Lun feels that this guy must be killed first!
There was a "bang" sound.
His head exploded like a smashed watermelon.
"Obtained memory fragments of 'Dick Nelson'*2"
"You have mastered some 'intermediate mechanical knowledge'"
"Acquired a memory: 'There are more and more aberration incidents in the city, I feel...'"
"Steam Machinery Combat Experience +4"
"Psychic power +0.13"
"Grey fog" also appeared on the corpse. Su Lun waved his hand, and the gray fog was swallowed up in his soul.
Before he could digest the information, he directly raised his hand and fired another shot at the sniper on the sentry tower in the distance.
A shot hit the lower abdomen, and a figure fell down.
The two snipers were not within the control range of the doll, but they did not expect that Su Lun would suddenly attack.
What's more, he didn't expect that Su Lun could "control" the six people in their team instantly and even killed their captain instantly.
Su Lun fired two shots in a row. He knew that he had no chance to fire a third shot, and the opponent's sniper was not a fool either.
Then he jumped back decisively and hid behind a mud wall.
Sure enough, the next second, there was a "pop" sound, and a bullet exploded into a large piece of the mud wall.
The bullet penetrated directly through the mud wall and almost hit Su Lun.
Then, with continuous "ta-da-da" shots, the mud wall nearly one meter behind was shattered into pieces in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the only threat left was the sniper hiding on the sentry tower.
Su Lun knew that his marksmanship and terrain were not advantageous. If they were to shoot each other, the pistol would definitely not be able to defeat the sniper rifle.
Not caring about waste, he directly pulled out the musket filled with special alchemical bullets, and then fired several shots at the sentry position.
Although the large revolver was only loaded with six bullets, it directly overwhelmed the snipers on the opposite side with firepower.
At this moment, Su Lun didn't know that his round of shooting had consumed many gunmen's ammunition for a year.
The power of the three special bullets was astonishing. After the ammunition was fired, the entire sentry tower was directly destroyed.
The explosions a hundred meters away were very loud, especially the last two "concussion bombs". Even Su Lun, who was far away, felt his head buzzing.
He didn't waste any time and rushed out immediately after shooting.
Due to his enhanced vision, he saw the sniper staggering and struggling to get up in the thick smoke, and then fired two more shots.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
The body fell to the ground.
"Obtain memory fragments of 'Sinos Carter'*2"
"You have acquired some 'basic alchemical knowledge'"
"Firearms Experience +6"
"Psychic power +0.07"
........
Su Lun didn't dare to be careless. He found another sniper who was shot in the abdomen and shot him again.
Then, he returned to the campfire, looked at the five weird and twisted guys whose bodies were like marionettes, and unceremoniously fired four times, killing four of them.
The vice-captain, Lawn, was left behind.
The whole process from the violence to the end of the battle took less than a minute. A reorganized hunting team was completely wiped out by Su Lun's decisive attack.
However, there is a little trouble.
"Too many memories were stripped away at once, and my brain is a bit overwhelmed..."
After stripping away the memories of three corpses one after another, Su Lun found that his head was also a little dizzy.
It felt like I had stayed up all night, and my thoughts were hazy.
But he also discovered that if it is not peeled off in time, the "gray fog" on the corpse will become lighter and lighter. The longer the interval, the lower the quality of the peeled off memory. In about five minutes, the gray fog on the corpse will fade away.
Dissipate completely.
At this time, Su Lun also roughly understood some of the restrictions on the ability of [Death Reaper].
After resting for a while, until the memory fragments in his mind were completely digested, Su Lun opened his eyes.
Su Lun took a long breath and looked full of energy, "With this [Reaper] talent, I feel that I can develop into an invincible one in this world..."
The soul fragments of the seven corpses brought him too many benefits, and he suddenly gained a lot of strange knowledge and understanding of the world in his mind.
He felt that he had become stronger visibly.
After just a few minutes of digestion, he felt that he had mastered the knowledge and skills that would take about one or two years of study!
.......
Su Lun put the [Rune Puppet] back into the wooden box.
He looked at Lao En, who was tightly trapped by him, and muttered: "I didn't originally plan to communicate with you in this way..."
It's a pity that you have evil intentions.
After the doll was put away, Lawn woke up from his mental confusion.
As if he had just woken up from a dream, this guy didn't seem to understand what had happened. But when he saw clearly the corpses all over the ground in the camp, and then looked at Su Lun, his eyes were full of horror: "You..."
Su Lun didn't say a word to him, stabbed his right leg with a knife, and said coldly: "Now, I ask a question, and you answer one..."
