Chapter 1189 Good news! Master Luo has learned how to raise a secret puppet!
"Tulani von Hermoshuyn..." Klein repeated the name. His face began to become more and more ugly. This name is considered famous among countries, even as a
Travelers who know local common sense and Zhou Mingrui from Yong County all know this person.
He is the greatest scientist after Emperor Russell, and is considered to be second only to Emperor Russell. Although the status of the emperor is basically impossible to be shaken, if you have to compare it, if the earth is Newton Gavat
, if you add a series of scientists of the same era, Hermosuin can at least be regarded as the level of Einstein plus von Neumann.
However, this is also a quite eccentric scientist, even close to a mad scientist. He loves eating sugar because he believes that human beings are too poor in all aspects and are an inefficient machine. The human body should be transformed into
More efficient machines to cater to the ever-changing technology.
And he believes that constantly eating sugar is constantly replenishing fuel for his body, so that his machine can always operate at full power.
Of course, there must be problems with his theory in this regard, but it must be admitted that this is a genius inventor. Before the Mohists came to this world, he had already invented the first and second generations of difference engines.
It is said that the Analytical Engine has been completely manufactured not long ago, which is the legendary third-generation difference engine.
It's a pity that semiconductors have begun to rise in this era, and the path of electronic computers is unstoppable. The power of steam and the power of machinery can't operate as efficiently as electronics. Even so, the analysis machine he built uses electron tubes to perform calculations more efficiently.
It far exceeds the difference engine of the past, and exceeds it by an unknown number of orders of magnitude.
Although the emergence of the Mohists made his analytical machine no longer a priceless treasure, his own mind and his innovative thinking are still extremely valuable assets, because he is one of the very few who can keep up with the Mohists and understand their designs.
A person who thinks of technological creation.
Even if he is given certain conditions, he can imitate many things, and he can analyze the principles after getting the samples. It is self-evident what kind of strategic value such a super inventor has, and such an employment request starts from
It was a huge contrast to say it from the mouth of a postman.
"Who are you? It's impossible for a postman to hire me to carry out such a commission. It's impossible for a postman to pay a hundred pounds. And if I really find Hermoshuin, its value is definitely not
A mere hundred pounds."
A stiff smile appeared on the face of the postman who issued the commission. The smile seemed to have been forcibly squeezed out by someone's hands. It was extremely unnatural: "I am the postman! Postman Peter, you can even cut my body open."
, check my internal organs to see if I am myself? How about it? Do you want to take a look?
If you continue to ask stupid questions like who are you, I will probably have to consider changing my client." When he said this, the postman had a meaningful expression on his face.
"Huh? Change the client and then silence me, right?"
"It seems you are not hopelessly stupid." A sarcastic smile appeared on the postman's face. Since he would appear here and issue such a commission, he was naturally sure that his true identity would not be exposed.
Klein is not idle at this time. He is using his magic power to work hard to build one imaging structure after another, that is, a lens plus a film mode. This kind of disposable camera can be constructed with magic power and hidden in
Various places, and the content captured by these disposable cameras can be the basis for him to target the enemy. As long as he takes a photo of any opponent, he can follow the photo no matter how blurry it is.
, find the opponent himself.
"He came to see me so confidently and was not afraid of exposing his identity. One possibility is that he controlled the postman through some means. The notebook the old man left for me recorded the abilities of various professions. People with similar abilities
There are quite a few people. The Thief Path can do similar things in the later stages, but he shouldn't be that strong. Sequence 5 of the Seer Path can do it, and he is the most suspect.
In addition, it is possible for psychologists and hypnotists to control a person through hypnosis, but it may not be possible to have such a fluent conversation.
There is another possibility that he has changed his appearance, just like my current faceless man. This possibility is also very high. Let’s first assume the path of the fortune teller, which is the most suspected. If he is the secret puppet master of sequence five, then the ontological distance
I shouldn't be too far away, and not everyone can be as distracted as Klein and I. When controlling the marionette, the activities of the body should be affected to a certain extent. It is most likely to be in a static state and in a safe place.
in the environment.
I let the magic build into the shot and capture as much of these areas as possible.
In addition, if he comes to contact me through disguise, if I want to find him through divination, I have to find a way to get something from him, and at the worst, I have to get a piece of paper.
photo.
Hmm... It seems that he didn't notice the improvised camera on the eaves. Although the resolution is limited, I took it above the gray fog and used the Book of Changes to divine divination. It's a pity that I didn't see it before traveling.
Lianshan and Guizang, otherwise my divination ability could be even stronger."
After his thoughts turned to this point, Zhou Mingrui roughly formulated the next strategy, and his expression suddenly turned cold: "You are exposed in front of me like this, aren't you afraid that I will take action against you directly? There are some things you may still have to do.
I don’t know!”
The sword flashed, and the sharp curved blade grazed the postman's cheek, stained with a few drops of blood, and returned to Klein's hand.
He didn't hold a knife just now. The thing that flew over to him was not a knife to be precise, but two blades with a gun barrel sandwiched between them. This thing should be more accurately called a gun blade. The thing that flew over to him just now was not a knife.
The moment was like a flying sword, but the postman didn't react at all and his skin was cut.
Klein successfully obtained the opponent's blood, but his heart sank.
"Sure enough, it's not just a simple disguise. It seems that he is most likely the Master of Secret Puppetry. We have to find a way to find his true form. Unfortunately, the camera I built using magic power can at best achieve the effect of an old-fashioned film camera, and it is impossible to provide real-time I sent back the pictures, but fortunately I had memorized the surrounding terrain. It was enough to shoot at those suspicious locations."
While he was thinking, the postman also spoke: "On the contrary, it was precisely because I learned your identity as a magician that I chose you. I don't mind you killing me now. In that case, I would even Without the effort of silencing him, the police will not believe a murderer's nonsense.
Mr. Detective, who just came to Backlund from Lundberg, committed a murder right in front of his own home. What do you think your fate will be?"
His attitude of not taking his own life seriously at all clearly told the other party that the postman was just a puppet and there was no point in killing him.
Zhou Mingrui and Klein have a clear division of labor. At this time, Zhou Mingrui controls the magic power and constructs cameras to take pictures, while Klein is responsible for delaying time. The more photos there are, the greater the possibility that the target person will appear in the photos.
"Well, it seems that we need to sit down and talk. Come in, even if this body is just a postman, I won't let the customer stand at the door to discuss business with me."
While speaking, Klein had already walked towards the door and exposed his back to the postman. This action exposed the fact that he was a rookie. Marionettes are not just puppets. They can use extraordinary abilities. At the level of Sequence Five, they can only use their own extraordinary abilities for the time being, but if they reach Sequence Four, even the extraordinary abilities of the Cunning Mage can be used by these secret puppets.
He rashly exposes his back to a marionette and assumes that the puppet is no threat at all. This is the sign of a rookie.
However, Rosago didn't know that he was actually only on the first level. Klein had an old man who knew all the professionals, and the notes he left behind contained information about the abilities of almost all sequences. Introduction, plus the fortune teller path is the sequence he chose himself, how could his subsequent abilities not be clear?
The purpose of assuming such a rookie posture is naturally to make the enemy relax their vigilance. In fact, he has been monitoring his behind through magic power. When he is close enough to himself, the magic power can transmit back a feeling similar to touch.
It can be used on the sensor of the glove. Through this tactile sensing, you can roughly determine whether the person behind you has any abnormal movements. Although it is worse than vision, it is enough.
When the two came to the room and sat across from each other, Klein also asked his own question and unhurriedly made a cup of coffee for the postman opposite. After all, his current task was to delay time.
"Since you said that the reason why you found me is because I am a magician, then why is it me? Although the number of magicians is indeed very small now, there will be more magicians in a few days, and Why would I, a foreigner, become your client?"
"First, you are not a member of the Mo family, so your actions will not be closely monitored or protected. Second, you are a detective. Although the advertisement you placed in the newspaper makes you look
It's very cheap, but you haven't starved to death so far, which proves that you have a sharper mind than ordinary people.
These two points, plus your status as a magician, are the reasons why I hired you."
Klein picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip. When he saw the postman opposite, he also took a sip without any doubt. He was even more convinced that the other person was just a secret partner. Otherwise, how could he not be worried about being poisoned at all?
"Let me guess, thinking that the person you asked me to look for is Hermosuin, is this what happened? This mad scientist has been very interested in magic recently, and is eager to find someone who is not under the supervision of the Mo family.
Within the range, he can kidnap and study magicians, and they must be the kind of magicians with relatively high talents, not the kind of rookies who just bought a pair of gloves.
And such a person is probably not easy to find. Even if you find it, the other person may not be able to escape or pass on the information after being captured by this mad scientist, so you chose detectives, bodyguards, and adventurers, who have certain abilities.
It’s a profession that guarantees ability, and I seem to fit your requirements just fine.”
Mr. Postman was noncommittal, but said in a strong threatening tone: "You'd better pray that you can complete the commission. In that case, you may still have a chance to leave Backlund safely."
"Hey! It seems that you are still a murderous organization, so let me ask, is Mr. Leppard okay? He shouldn't have been silenced by you yet, right?"
This time, the postman's face finally showed a slightly surprised look, but he quickly calmed down and shook his head: "He is the key protection target of the Mo family. We did not touch him, nor did we reveal any information to him. In fact,
, if he wasn’t a sports idiot and knew nothing about the world and how to deal with crises, he might be a more suitable candidate than you.”
The postman only thought for a moment and figured out how Klein guessed that they had contacted Leppard. After all, this guy had just become a magician, and only Leppard, who he met by chance on the train, knew that he possessed powerful magic.
Talent, if other people want to get this information, they can only get it from that guy.
At the same time, at the other end of the room, a ghost invisible to the naked eye has quietly left the room. That is Zhou Mingrui, who is moving in the form of a ghost. He is silently lurking around his house, through his own
Using his vision and his ability to walk through walls at will, he searches for possible targets. After searching for the target, he gets into the nearby grass or under the eaves.
There are things like camouflaged straws the size of cigarettes. They are the simplest cameras. Apart from the light-shielding casing, the negative film at the tail and the convex lens at the head, there are no extra structures.
What he has to do is to manually adjust the pointing of these cameras in the direction of a few people who are more suspected, including a man sitting on a roadside bench reading a newspaper, an old man taking a nap on a hotel lounge chair, anyone.
It may be that the existence of the Secret Puppet Master was taken by him. The range that the Secret Puppet Master can control is generally between one and two hundred meters, and the number of people in this range is not particularly large, and there is no walking.
There are even fewer people to talk to. You can take pictures of them all. Next, you only need to develop the negatives and then divine them one by one in Source Castle. Then you can have a general understanding of the identity of the people behind the scenes.
