According to the original plot, "pollution" would only occur at midnight, and everyone in the 1911 Hotel would become strange.
The hunters came in to collect the materials only to do so after midnight, because ordinary people become weird and produce cursed materials.
But Su Lun couldn't wait until that time.
The magician was really going to be deformed, and Su Lun felt even more uncertain about killing him.
Moreover, now that the four "forbidden rooms" on the first floor have been opened, he feels that there may be other changes in tonight's pollution incident.
To solve the problem, you have to do it as early as possible
Su Lun walked towards the stage, and then walked into the backstage from the side door through the staff passage.
He planned to stop the magician when he came down from the stage.
Because he heard from the intelligence that no one has seen the magician since he left the stage.
Su Lun thought he might use his space ability to teleport away, so he had to go backstage to guard him.
After the stage is the dressing room, which is slightly narrow.
The dancers of the "Swan Cabaret" are changing their costumes here.
There were staff guarding the door. Su Lun took off his hat, showed his face, and flashed his police badge, and walked in without any further obstruction.
The dancers were probably used to changing costumes temporarily during performances, and they didn't mind the lack of a separate dressing room. When Su Lun walked in, she was watching young girls with cool and sharp clothes and graceful figures putting on makeup in the narrow space.
Change into performance costumes in the room.
Seeing a strange man walking in, the girls were like frightened deer at first, covering their naked bodies in fear. But when they saw Su Lun's handsome face clearly, the dancers calmed down instantly, and no one was surprised.
They screamed, laughed and whispered. Some of them were bold and generous, and even smiled coquettishly at him.
"Handsome guy, who are you looking for~"
"I'm looking for Mr. Edward."
"Oh~ What a pity, I thought you were here to invite our leader, Barbara, to dinner."
""
As they walked all the way, Su Lun also responded to these beautiful girls with a very gentlemanly smile.
He wanted to go to the aisle of the stage and wait for the magician to prevent him from disappearing from his sight.
After walking over, I saw a small dressing room separated by a curtain next to the dressing room. The lead singer, Miss Barbara, was changing clothes and removing makeup in there.
The light was very bright, and that charming face was reflected in a large makeup mirror.
Su Lun saw the woman with red lips in the mirror, and the woman also saw him.
"Why, is the handsome guy lost?"
The voice is so soft and crisp that it makes people feel as if their bones are brittle.
Su Lun watched the woman turn back, and her eyes were unconsciously attracted to her big rosy lips.
It seems that those red lips have endless magic power, making people unable to take their eyes away.
This is an inner hint with a little mental power, which will make people put down their guard.
Su Lun narrowed his eyes slightly and guessed that this woman was most likely a professional with [Succubus] talent.
Afraid that this woman might also use hypnosis, he immediately showed his police badge and said, "I want to wait for Mr. Edward. I have something to consult with him."
Barbara looked at the police badge, her eyebrows curved, and her tone became more sticky, "Oh? It's a police officer. Do you have anything to do with Mr. Edward?"
Su Lun didn't feel any malice, nor was he careless. He said calmly: "Some official business."
Although Su Lun felt that this woman and the magician should know each other, he still wanted to wait to communicate with Edward.
Hearing this, Barbara smiled charmingly, pointed to the chair next to her, and said: "Handsome police officer, come and sit here? Mr. Edward probably won't finish his performance for a while."
Su Lun glanced at her. She didn't want to get too close to such a spiritual professional, so she refused the invitation, which looked very sexy. "I have official duties, so I won't sit down."
Because she was changing clothes, Barbara was also dressed very coolly. As he spoke, his peripheral vision unconsciously swept across the deep career line on her chest.
By the way, do women with succubus talents have such a good figure?
Barbara covered her mouth and chuckled, catching the look in her eyes. But instead of minding it, she smiled brightly and showed off her proud figure without hesitation, boldly teasing, "Handsome police officer, are you looking at me?"
what?"
""
Su Lun's expression did not change as he listened.
He felt that this was probably an occupational disease of succubi.
Just after these few words, the stairs backstage suddenly rang.
A man in a tuxedo walked down, and it turned out to be Edward the Magician.
The ambiguous atmosphere was instantly diluted. Barbara said to Edward: "Mr. Edward, this police officer said he has something to ask you."
When Edward heard "police officer", it seemed that some key words had been triggered, and then he looked at Suellen, whom he was originally prepared to ignore.
Su Lun directly showed the police badge and said: "I am Patrolman Joey from the Bell Tower Block. I have been ordered to investigate some matters. Please cooperate with Mr. Edward."
Edward seemed to have thought of something, "Clock Tower District?"
When the other party responded, Su Lun immediately knew that he had guessed correctly: the two alchemists hidden in the crowd were coming for the old nun.
Edward looked at Su Lun for a moment and continued to ask: "Excuse me, police officer, what are you here to investigate. And how do I need to cooperate with you?"
Su Lun felt no malice, which meant that the corpses in those four rooms should have nothing to do with the two people in front of him.
Now, he was more sure how to use this plot.
He said directly: "Have you ever heard of [White Monastery]?"
Hearing this, Edward's expression froze, and he frowned and said, "Oh, of course, I remember it was a monastery on Bell Tower Street in the East City. But can Officer Johnny be more detailed? Does the fact that you are looking for me have something to do with this monastery?"
These people look like living people, but in fact they are still high-level NPCs who only react to certain plots.
Su Lun needed to trigger the plot, so he said directly: "An old nun took something very dangerous from the monastery, which may contaminate others. Based on the clues, I investigated and found that she came to this hotel. But in the process
, I discovered some other things, so I need Mr. Edward’s cooperation.”
Having said that, Edward did not continue to pretend to be ignorant. He smiled and said, "Officer Johnny, your investigative abilities amaze me."
As he spoke, he took out his ID.
This move surprised Su Lun.
He originally wanted to ask Edward to assist in the investigation and guide him to see those corpses. Then he would look for an opportunity to see if he could have a conflict with the evil caster and then look for another opportunity.
Without thinking, this guy took out a badge directly from his pocket. The logo on it was a golden ouroboros and a "§" symbol.
Wearing a badge means you want to show your identity.
But, is it this symbol again?
The other party thought that he was a patrol officer in Dawn City, so he should know this badge.
But he didn't recognize it.
Su Lun did not show any doubts, but remained silent waiting for the other party to initiate the introduction.
As expected, Edward politely explained: "This incident has gone beyond the scope of the police station. Therefore, it is now handled by our Special Operations Department. Just leave the matters here to us."
After a pause, he added: "Praise for your dedication, Officer Johnny."
So that's it
After hearing these words, Su Lun understood immediately.
This Edward and this Barbara are both the people responsible for the official handling of aberration incidents in Dawn City!
After saying that, Edward looked like he was leaving.
But
The reason why this hotel became a cursed space means that they failed to prevent this incident a thousand years ago.
The midnight pollution incident was a recurrence of the tragedy of that year.
If Su Lun leaves here, things will definitely return to their original trajectory.
Although Su Lun has the alchemy items obtained from the four corpses, there is a high probability that he can save his life at midnight.
But he also wants space materials!
So I definitely won't let Edward leave like this.
Moreover, from the moment room 1021 was opened, it was destined that the hunting group might be destroyed this time.
Now that there are official professionals from Liming, maybe the problems on the first floor can be solved in advance?
At this moment, Su Lun's thoughts were racing and he quickly weighed the pros and cons of the certificate matter.
Will the plot change be too serious and trigger some butterfly effect?
He didn't know what would happen in the end if he changed the plot like this, but
But thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is the option most likely to achieve the goal.
Moreover, recalling the tone of Mr. Hei's words last night, they knew enough about this cursed space.
This means that a certain big boss who is still hidden in the team is capable of handling various emergencies.
Thinking of this, Su Lun did not hesitate and said directly: "Mr. Edward, since you are handling this matter, I am relieved. However, I have a piece of information here, I wonder if you know it."
Listening, Edward looked back at him, "Oh?"
Su Lun said: "I investigated the check-in records before and found that there was a guy named 'Tiger Garson' who moved in at the same time as Sister Elizabeth. He opened four rooms and placed four strange corpses. They are
The [faceless man], [hanged corpse], [self-drowning female corpse], and [big-headed resentful baby] seem to be performing some kind of evil ritual again."
Upon hearing this, Edward and Barbara's expressions changed suddenly, obviously they knew what these four corpses meant!
Edward: "[Four Ghosts Fallen Sacrifice Formation]! Damn it, she wants to open that 'sealed object' in this hotel!"
When Su Lun heard this, it turned out that they did not know the existence of the corpse.
Edward's expression suddenly became solemn, and he said to himself: "I hope it's too late to stop it."
Su Lun looked at the word "contaminated" above their heads and felt that it was necessary to remind them, and then said: "Have you ever considered that you may have been contaminated?"
Upon hearing this, the two of them looked at each other with solemn eyes.
The charm on Barbara's face disappeared, and she suddenly pinched the sorcerer's seal, as if she had cast some kind of spiritual spell.
After a few breaths, she glanced at Edward with an ugly face and said in a serious tone: "Someone's high-level law has blinded our perception. If nothing else, Officer Johnny is right. We, and even the entire hotel, have been contaminated.
Already."
""
Edward fell silent.
However, there was more determination on his face.
He looked at Su Lun and said, "Officer Johnny, this matter is very important. We may need you to do us a favor."
Su Lun cast a doubtful look, knowing that he might have changed the main plot.
Edward resolutely said: "If we are really contaminated, please kill us first before discovering our distortion!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the invisible living corpse not far behind Su Lun.
Sure enough, people with this kind of space ability have long discovered the existence of invisible living corpses.
When Su Lun heard this request, his face showed a hint of embarrassment. He hesitated for a moment and then agreed: "Okay!"
He never expected that after racking his brains and thinking about how to get the materials, the other party would actually mention it.
In this situation tonight, they are 100% going to be distorted.
With their cooperation, I no longer have to make sneak attacks, and the difficulty of killing him instantly becomes a hundred times lower.
but
Does this mean that I have to follow them at any time?
At this time, Edward said again: "This information is very important, but I need to summon my companions. Those four corpses must be destroyed first."
Suellen followed Edward out of the dressing room.
They were going to contact his colleagues in the hotel.
In order not to alert others, we made an appointment to start in five minutes and collect the bodies in the four rooms first.
Suellen knew that touching those corpses would immediately alert the spellcaster who arranged the evil ritual.
A war may break out early.
But it looks pretty good now, at least it's not distorted in the hotel.
Edward and the others will investigate this matter, so they naturally have a certain level of strength.
Su Lun didn't think the ending would be one-sided.
After walking out of the banquet hall, Su Lun originally planned to find a place to prepare for the battle.
Unexpectedly, I was blocked by someone.
Gallup, the leader of the "Sand Scorpion Group", was already waiting in the corridor with more than ten people in his group.
