As Su Lun expected, Aberke came to participate just for the prize.
This copy of the "Core Structural Diagram of the Heart of the Four Color Elements" personally annotated by Master Lufan Hormone is indeed of great use to Su Lun now.
He happens to have an original version of the [Four Color Elemental Heart] left behind by the ancient goblin technological civilization. Coupled with the knowledge in this manuscript, there is a high probability that he can make some new breakthroughs in the current energy core research. Really?
Being able to mass-produce elemental hearts with high energy storage, the combat effectiveness of his puppet army will reach a higher level in the future.
Su Lun had other plans, so he didn't say anything more to Albuquerque. After a few words of warning, he came to the parking lot where the motorcycles were parked.
His intuition told him that there was something wrong with August, who was wearing the vampire ring, and he planned to follow him and take a look.
The award ceremony is still going on at the venue, and there are many motorcycles parked in the parking lot, but they haven't left yet.
Su Lun glanced at it and saw several luxury steam cars parked in conspicuous locations.
One of the luxurious classical carriages bears the noble coat of arms of the Rodriguez family.
In the soul's perception, there was someone in the car next to him, who was obviously a guard watching the car.
Su Lun walked over calmly, but did not approach the car. Instead, he quietly left a space mark on a passing white car.
He had previously observed the coat of arms of the nobility, which was the car of Miss Elsa Bach, the co-champion.
Then Su Lun walked straight to his steam motorcycle, started it and drove out of the parking lot.
He also knew from lip reading before that those little nobles would have a celebration party at the nightclub tonight.
These top aristocratic ladies and young masters must have anti-tracking experts around them. Ordinary tracking methods are useless and will still be discovered.
Su Lun was not in a hurry and left a mark to see if he could catch fish later.
...
Su Lun is very busy right now, and it's rare for him to take time out for half a day to watch the match between his two disciples.
After watching it, I returned to Lena's apartment.
Zeke's [Multi-layer Stacked Melta Bomb] has been successfully made and is still undergoing final precise testing. There will be a Victory Day School Ceremony at the Royal Alchemy Academy in a few days. The library's security forces will be concentrated on the ceremony. Kit is preparing
Then take action.
Su Lun didn't need to worry about this. He just wanted to prepare a mechanical prosthesis for Jike before the celebration ball, so that it would not affect his future life.
After dinner that night, Su Lun sensed the space mark he left. Miss Elsa's car started to move in the North City.
He went out on his motorcycle.
After estimating the driving route of the marked vehicles, Su Lun found that the place where the group of young nobles had agreed to have a party tonight seemed to be the nightclub area on the banks of the Locovalen River.
It happens to be not too far from Lena's apartment.
Su Lun went out on his motorcycle.
It was already dark, and the banks of the Locovalen River were lit up with a feasting light. The lights were bright near the Rington Iron Bridge. This was a high-end nightclub area where aristocrats liked to gather.
Not as lively as the nightclub on Fox Gem Avenue in Queens, but luxurious enough.
Su Lun arrived not long after riding a motorcycle.
Most of the high-end nightclubs in this area are membership-based, because he is not sure which bar the young nobles have chosen. He did not go in rashly, but wandered around the area.
The weather in Linton during this period was always cloudy and rainy, and when we arrived, it happened to be raining again.
After dark, the neon lights of major nightclubs have been turned on, creating a luxurious scene of purple, red and blue.
Su Lun walked into a dark alley and lit a No. 7 cigarette.
It’s not that I have any craving for cigarettes, but I want to give myself a fireworks smell suitable for nightclub life.
This is the alley at the back door of a bar, filled with all kinds of empty wine bottles. Fat rats squeaked in the trash cans looking for food. Rainwater gathered on the street and flowed into the sewer, making a loud splashing sound.
Su Lun had nothing to do, so he jumped up on a low wall and squatted there to smoke.
Just like when he was a gangster in Old Town, he knew very well that these dark alleys were sometimes more lively than the bars.
For example, right now, a pair of loveless men and women sneaked into the dark alley and were having an intense love affair in the corner where the light couldn't reach them. They didn't realize that there was someone on the low wall paying attention to all this with great interest.
Hiding in the darkness and peering into the world gives people a very peaceful feeling.
Not long after, the entangled man and woman finished their work and left, and Su Lun also sensed that the marked vehicle was parked in the parking lot two hundred meters away.
Calculating the distance to the parking lot, he immediately knew where the noble ladies and young men would choose for their carnival tonight.
It was a high-end club called "Gustav's Music House".
In the darkness, Su Lun's face looked slightly different.
Gustav is the original name of the great writer Fujiwara Hayato. This guy wrote a tragedy called "Music House" in his early years. The content is probably a vulgar love story about an affair in a bar.
He was not famous when he was alive, but now he is very popular.
Of course, this bar has nothing to do with the great writer.
That's just a name given by club owners to nobles who like to be arty.
When the target arrived, Su Lun finished smoking the cigarette in his hand and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, coincidentally, a woman hurried in from outside the alley. She looked pretty good, with a very elegant shawl short hair, wearing a very smart black and white suit and overalls. She was probably a working-class person from a wealthy area. Her footsteps
Slightly erratic and looked like he was drunk.
And she seemed to be being stared at, so she walked in in a panic to avoid something.
As soon as he entered, several men in leather jackets who were obviously gangsters followed him with lewd expressions on their faces.
Su Lun took a look, and there was a high probability that there was going to be some kind of drama about a male dominating a female.
This is quite normal in nightclub areas.
I thought I could help out.
But almost at the same time, Su Lun felt it and found it quite interesting.
The woman is a second-level professional, and a few of the gangsters are first-level professionals.
It seems that the identities of the prey and the hunter are not what they appear to be.
Then, it’s just one operation.
The woman used some potion to easily stun a few gangsters, and after groping for something on them, she stuffed them into the trash can.
Probably these guys will stay in the cold and smelly trash can until dawn.
But the woman didn't notice all this last night, squatting in the dark and watching the whole scene alone.
"Tsk, that's interesting..."
Su Lun watched a robbery for unknown reasons and found it slightly interesting, but had no interest in watching the follow-up.
After watching the woman leave, he walked out of the alley.
...
In front of you is an old castle-like spire building.
Su Lun had never been to this "Music House Club" before.
I glanced at the hanging price list from afar, and saw that the consumption was very high, and the price of drinks was two or three times that of ordinary nightclubs. This also directly selected and refined the customers.
The people who come in and out look either rich or noble, or they are all kinds of ostentatious socialites.
Su Lun changed into a decent suit and looked like a dentist who came to relax after get off work.
He walked directly to the club door, and the waiter at the door led him in.
The layout of the club is no different from that of other bars, with a dance floor, a bar, booths, and private rooms. The atmosphere is ambiguous, the lights are dim, and people are intoxicated.
It's just that the decoration is more luxurious, with classical utensils loved by nobles everywhere.
Although the club looks deserted from the street, there is almost no noise.
But it's actually very popular.
The dance floor was crowded and the booths were 70 to 80% occupied.
After entering, the restless music rushed into the ears, making people's bodies become excited according to the rhythm.
Obviously, a gramophone playing music is a higher-level curse, and this kind of widespread sonic pollution will make people feel a deep spiritual joy.
What makes Su Lun even more strange is that all the girls serving drinks here are actually dressed as nuns.
Because it is a high-end club, the waitresses are of very high quality, beautiful and tall.
Each of them wore a black and white veil, decorated with some sacred ornaments such as crosses, and looked holy and solemn.
But their lower bodies were in very sexy black skirts, with slits reaching the waist. When walking, customers could clearly see the lace pantyhose and binding ropes, and their slender legs were unobstructed.
This is a very high-level astringent feeling.
The waiter introduced: "This is the recent theme of our club - customers are gods."
In the alchemy civilization, people have little respect for the gods, so no one found it offensive when this club did something like this.
Su Lun found it quite novel and laughed.
At least it's much more classy than those tired bunny girls in other nightclubs.
After casually ordering a draft of dark beer, which cost several thousand liso, Su Lun also sat down at the bar.
Because I sensed that Miss Elsa and Augustus were here and were celebrating in the private room upstairs.
...
Not long after Su Lun entered the "Music House Club", in a deserted alley in the bar area, two mysterious guys were busy here.
If Su Lun were here, he would definitely recognize that the short-haired woman among the two was the guy who robbed the gangster he saw before.
At this moment, the short-haired woman was changing into a black and white nun's uniform with high slits.
While changing, she faintly complained: "Hey, hey, hey, old man, can you have some confidence in me? This is not the first time you have entrusted me with this kind of trust. What's going on with your distrustful eyes?"
"
The gray-haired old cowboy responded: "Oh, Emilia, you know you have messed up commissions before... Your kindness is incompatible with this society, and it will harm you."
Hearing this, the short-haired woman rolled her eyes at him but said nothing.
The old cowboy persuaded her earnestly: "I tell you, as soon as you find the client's young lady, come out as soon as possible. Don't cause trouble, you know! This is the territory of the Razor Party, and I don't want to cause any trouble. Besides,
There is obviously something fishy behind this matter. He dared to kidnap a young lady from a wealthy businessman without asking for a ransom. It is not revenge. This is definitely not ordinary human trafficking. It is probably a scandal involving some noble gentlemen. It is not something that we little detectives can do.
Contaminated..."
Before she finished speaking, the short-haired woman interrupted impatiently and said: "I know! I know! Old man, you have said it many times. I will come out after completing the commission this time, and I won't mess around!"
"
"..."
The old cowboy smacked his lips as he listened, seemingly helpless, and sighed slightly.
...
Su Lun was sitting at the bar in the club, just like ordinary drinkers, taking a sip of wine from time to time and passing the time.
Occasionally, I could flirt with the girls I was chatting with, but I had no intention of leaving.
He still had to observe what the little nobles upstairs were going to do.
And after coming in, Su Lun also discovered some abnormalities.
This seemingly normal club actually has a secret room underground in the wine cellar.
Moreover, those secret rooms obviously have devices that interfere with perception and exploration, and even Su Lun's spatial perception is distorted.
This is obviously no ordinary basement.
Su Lun quietly took out the black umbrella, and then clearly sensed that there were still several people locked up in the mysterious underground chamber.
This also completely piqued his interest.
Ringtown does not prohibit the slave trade, so it is normal for slaves to be often imprisoned in nightclubs, and gangs also engage in illegal human trafficking.
But that's usually in low-end nightclubs, not high-end clubs like this.
Moreover, what surprised Su Lun was that the people in the secret room were obviously professionals.
Although the rank is not high, they are all first or second level, but they should not be club girls.
"Who will be imprisoned?"
Su Lun thought about it in his mind.
But at this time, a scene that interested him even more happened.
A large number of new customers came to the door, but Su Lun found that one of them was very familiar to Soul Fire.
Even without looking, you would know that this is the short-haired woman who robbed gangsters that you met in the alley before.
"Why is she here?"
Su Lun rolled his eyes and thought it was a coincidence.
Out of the corner of his eye, he watched the short-haired woman walk into a dark corner.
Two seconds later, she appeared in the field of vision. She suddenly transformed, and the windbreaker on her body turned into the sexy nun uniform of a club waiter.
"Huh? It's interesting..."
Seeing her magical change of clothes, Su Lun immediately figured it out and thought to herself: "Could it be that they were going to imprison those people in the basement?"
Normal guests don't need to pretend to be here.
She had knocked out those gangsters before, and obviously took away the access keys or something.
The short-haired woman looked very professional, like a detective or a spy. She quietly slipped into the depths of the club without attracting anyone's attention.
Su Lun remained calm and felt the whole process.
The woman was obviously prepared and professional enough. She avoided some hidden lines in the club and walked quietly towards the wine cellar.
Su Lun thought he was here to save people.
And judging by her professional methods, there is a high probability that she will not be discovered.
I just watched the show quietly.
However, just as Su Lun was watching the woman's actions with great interest, suddenly, his pupils suddenly froze: "A strong person is coming?!"
At this time, a very special fluctuation suddenly appeared in the range of soul perception.
That soul fluctuation was even more peculiar than the feeling given to him by the sixth-level Augustus upstairs.
Like...a very familiar smell of hell.
"..."
Su Lun was sitting at the bar without any movement, drinking quietly.
Even without looking, he felt that the "master" walked into the club and sat down not far from him.
"Are you here for me, or did you meet me by chance?"
Su Lun was unsure.
But I think it should be the latter.
He also didn't expect that he would encounter so many strange things when he came to follow him for a drink.
The lights in the club flickered, and Su Lun saw the guy's face clearly on a reflective piece of iron in front. He was a grey-haired, sloppy old cowboy.
...
Although Emilia asked her old man not to follow her, Jerome, the "spiritual detective", was worried about her safety and quietly followed her into the club.
He chose an inconspicuous seat and sat down at the corner of the bar.
But at this moment, his intuition told him that there seemed to be something wrong with the environment.
The moment he felt the sensation, he suddenly felt like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. The hairs all over his body exploded, and goosebumps suddenly appeared on his skin.
"**!"
A curse word broke out in his heart.
It was a feeling as if you were sitting next to the God of Death, and an indescribable terror struck you, sending chills down your spine.
"Is something going to happen tonight?"
Jerome was horrified.
Always cautious, he immediately realized something was wrong.
He knew that there was a young doctor sitting not far away, where the source of danger came from.
But I didn't dare to look at it, and I didn't dare to make any changes.
After waiting for a while, the man made no movement, and Jerome finally felt that he could breathe easier.
"You didn't come here for me, I probably met you by chance..."
Jerome felt that the other party had not noticed him, so he sensed it again, "It's strange, how could his soul be so terrifying? When did such a person appear in Lingdun?"
The man was still drinking, but the calmer he became, the more uneasy he felt in Jerome's heart.
He finally decided to give it a try.
While paying the bartender, he took out a dirty sheepskin purse.
Then he reached in and took it out.
The metal coins clattered for a moment, and Jerome got a coin. He was just about to take out the money bag, but at this moment, his eyes caught a glimpse of the scarlet blood on the coin. The corners of his eyes twitched suddenly, and he suddenly sweated on his forehead.
It became densely packed, and I shouted in my heart: "My Lord! How many people did this guy kill before he let me touch this bloody gold coin?"
Jerome didn't dare to take out the gold coin, but after weighing it, he felt it was light and there was a strange look in his eyes: "But... the result of the trial is that he won't go to hell? It's strange, the killing is so serious, I
This is also the first time I’ve seen him. But he is actually a kind person according to the ‘Divine Judgment’?”
Although he was confused, Jerome also breathed a sigh of relief.
At least, they are no longer enemies.
...
The old cowboy thought Suellen hadn't noticed him.
Unexpectedly, Su Lun paid attention to every move of this guy from the moment he entered the door.
He is indeed very strong, but why is this guy acting inexplicably?
Although this guy concealed himself very well, Su Lun could also see clearly that he was sweating and stiff, and his face was white and red in turns... It seemed like there was intense activity in his heart?
However, when Su Lun watched this guy take out the sheepskin purse, his eyes became a little strange: "Is this guy doing divination?"
【The Betrayer's Money Bag】
Detailed explanation: This is a divination dark magic tool that can judge whether the target is guilty or not; according to legend, the dead from hell use it to judge whether the human soul should go to hell;
Su Lun glanced at the information identified by the Eye of Omniscient and guessed something in his mind: "Is this magic device used to divine people? It can't be used to divine me again."
If it is the principle of proximity, then he is the only one who is weird among the drinkers around the bar.
"Did this guy discover some flaw in me?"
Su Lun was slightly surprised and thought to himself: "It should be because he has some special talents or professional abilities. The person who can use this money bag should not be an alchemist, but a believer in God..."
He has a jammer on him, so it stands to reason that perception professionals shouldn't be able to detect him.
But when he took out his wallet, it was obvious that he did so after discovering something.
And it's well hidden.
If Su Lun hadn't had the Eye of Omniscient, he wouldn't have been able to tell that this behavior of touching money without energy fluctuations was divination.
Su Lun looked at the old cowboy and didn't show any malice towards him, nor did he "sneeze", so he ignored him.
The two of them drank wine separately and didn't speak.
In Su Lun's perception, the short-haired woman had successfully sneaked into the wine cellar and then went deep into the basement.
The action was smooth and smooth, just like she did when she robbed those gangsters in the dark alley.
...
After a while, Su Lun looked at the clock on the bar.
In less than ten minutes, the figure of the short-haired woman appeared in the field of vision.
At this time, she was accompanied by a young blonde girl who was obviously frightened and trembling.
This soul wave was one of the people imprisoned in the basement just now.
When he saw the short-haired woman coming out, the old cowboy beside him didn't sit down anymore and walked out of the club.
Seeing this, Su Lun also understood, "It turns out that these two guys are in a group..."
They are here to save people.
But he didn't save anyone else, which means it should be a private detective or something, not an official person.
Not wanting to cause trouble, I just saved the target.
Su Lun didn't think anything was wrong.
It is easy to bring one person out of this club, but if you bring a few more, there is a high probability that they will be discovered and no one can be saved.
And from the current situation, those people were imprisoned in the basement, which obviously involved some secrets.
It's a big problem if you get it contaminated.
Su Lun watched the old cowboy protecting the short-haired woman and leaving the club after rescuing people, and did not want to catch up to ask about the situation.
Because in his perception, someone noticed that there were fewer people in the basement.
.......
Not long after the short-haired woman rescued the people, a fourth-level professional walked into the basement.
He is the leader of the Razorbacks, Lawrence Shelby.
The Razor Gang is a long-established gangster in Rington, and they are also the group of people who still remain in the underworld after the "Blackstone" of the three major gangsters in Rington was successfully cleansed.
Although their gang does not control many nightclubs, their influence is extraordinary.
Because behind the Razor Party is a certain big congressman!
"Damn it! Why is there one person missing!"
Lawrence discovered that someone had kidnapped a person just now, and his face turned pale with fear.
No one would have thought that a murderous gang boss would be so frightened and trembling when he saw that one person was missing, and said to himself in horror as if he was in a panic: "We must not let that man know that there is one missing person."
People, otherwise I will die..."
The loss of a first-level girl was not a big deal originally.
Just let the brothers kidnap one more.
But he knew very well that once the adult knew about the secret room and was exposed, he and his family would be dealt with immediately.
Thinking of this, Lawrence made a decision immediately.
He didn't even notify anyone to hunt down the little thief, but quietly wiped everything clean as if nothing had happened.
...
On the other hand, Su Lun watched someone go to the basement and found that there were fewer people, but there was no movement at all in the club.
"It's strange, there is one person missing, and you don't even give chase?"
Su Lun was still wondering why the fourth-level guy's reaction was so strange.
At this time,
He suddenly discovered that after the group of young nobles carnival upstairs, that "Augus" actually came out alone.
Then, Su Lun sensed that the guy actually went to the cellar alone.
"It's for him!"
For a moment, Su Lun had a flash of inspiration and suddenly understood what was going on with those people in the basement!
He watched as "Augus" entered the basement and the other six soul fires were extinguished not long after.
"I should have thought of it... the Vampire's Ring! Those imprisoned people are the old monster's food!"
Su Lun's heart suddenly burst into flames.
[Lilith's Vampire Ring] can prolong life and maintain youth forever, but the prerequisite is that the blood of a virgin must be sucked to weaken the backlash of the curse.
That old guy has been alive to this day and has killed countless innocent girls.
Thinking of this, Su Lun flashed a cold light and felt an inexplicable anger: "This is the noble..."
...
After Augustus came out of the underground secret room, his face showed dissatisfaction. It was an expression of unfulfilled and unsatisfied feelings.
Lawrence, the leader of the Razor Party, was so cold that he sweated profusely when he saw that cold light. He lowered his head and did not dare to look directly.
"Lawrence, I remember I told you that if it is just this quality, it will be at least eight next time instead of seven."
"It's an adult! But please understand the difficulties of a villain... Professionals above the first level are usually very young, and it is difficult to find virgins of the right age. There are also very few real virgins in the slave trade. The major colleges in Linton
Yes, there are, but most of them have backgrounds. If there are too many kidnappings, there will be a lot of trouble later. Recently, I heard that someone is inquiring about 'this batch of goods'. If I am not careful, I may be targeted.
..."
"You don't have to worry about the police station. No one will cause trouble for you. Just go ahead and do it. Remember, if anyone snoops on this matter, deal with it immediately. If you encounter a troublesome person, contact me immediately and I will send someone to you.
Let others solve it. Also, if it happens again next time, you will know the consequences yourself."
"Yes, sir!"
Augustus didn't say much and left quietly.
...
Su Lun didn't expect to follow this trip and discovered this big secret.
It turns out that "Augus" has been looking for girls through the gang to use as cursed rations to remove the cursed properties?
But for top nobles like the Rodriguez family, the death of a few civilians is really not a big deal.
Su Lun sensed that "Augus" had returned to the private room upstairs and lost interest in staying.
Even if we have to take action, it's not now.
He was not sure that he would kill him.
After finishing the wine in the glass, Su Lun planned to watch for a while before leaving, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that the short-haired woman who had left before was back.
"What does this woman want to do?"
Su Lun was slightly surprised and saw her following the crowd into the club as before, and then changed into a nun's uniform.
Seeing this, he immediately understood that this woman still wanted to save people.
But now all the people in the basement are dead. If we go there now, not only will we not be able to save anyone, but we will also be discovered by others.
Thinking of this, Su Lun sighed slightly and stepped forward to greet him.
