The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 727: Sacrificed slum apartment

In the early morning of the next day, Leo left the hotel alone, and instead of taking the horse-drawn carriage to the abandoned factory where they lived, they went on foot.

Sylvia did not follow the side, except that she did not like the decision made by Leo and was awkward with Leo, but more because in the early morning, her hand came down and sent to investigate last night. The last buyer of the coffin was missing.

Leo was originally prepared to assist Sylvia to investigate this matter together, but in the end Sylvia rejected Leo's good intentions and went to investigate alone. By the way, she also wanted to familiarize herself with the newly acquired power.

Leo is well aware that Sylvia is a subjective person, will not be willing to be a vassal of other people, and can also feel that the power of the witch that is constantly surging inside Sylvia really needs a place to vent, so just Endorsed Sylvia's decision to act separately.

Leo, who left the hotel, did not take the avenue, but walked directly through the alleys of Moonlight City and took a shortcut to the abandoned factory.

It was just that after crossing half of the city, into the fringe of the city, and passing an alley called Rabbit Leg Street, he stopped and looked at the crowd gathered not far away.

I saw that there should have been a row of three-story apartment buildings near the crowd's location, but now this row of buildings all collapsed, leaving only a ruin. The police in the Moonlight City set up a warning line around the ruins to watch The crowd kept out.

From the conversation with the crowd, Leo heard some information. This row of apartment buildings was originally a low-rent apartment built by the Moonlight City Government, which was specially provided for those poor people to live in, so the materials and materials are very arbitrary, plus Last year, it was in disrepair, and was classified as a dangerous building as early as a dozen years ago. It stopped renting and issued an announcement to let people move out of these houses.

It’s just that the people living here are poor and don’t have much money on hand. If they move away from this place, they will only sleep on the street. So after the city government didn’t collect the rent, residents who were originally worried about the collapse of the building did not. Willing to move away from these buildings, still full of people.

At first, these poor people were worried that the buildings would collapse, so they found some wood-reinforced houses from outside the city, but after a few years, the buildings were still intact, and they did not take this matter anymore, even some of these buildings. Empty rooms are used as their own real estate, and they are rented to some poor people in the future. These buildings have more people than before, making the already overwhelmed buildings even more precarious.

So people living nearby know that these buildings will collapse sooner or later, just to see when they fall until last night.

According to the occupants of the apartment buildings closest to these collapsed buildings, last night, more correctly, it was early morning. They seemed to hear a moan, then a thunderous sound, and the ground slightly vibrated for a while. Time, then they walked out of the house and saw that the entire row of houses collapsed, and all the people living inside were crushed inside the house.

The people who originally lived nearby were mixed with the gendarme police who came over to find possible survivors in the ruins, but all the results were found in corpses, so in the morning, only to be disappointed, they gave up looking for survivors In addition, the military police also retreated, leaving only the police to block the scene and wait for the city government to send people to clean up the rubble.

During this time, those who watched the surroundings made various guesses about the cause of the collapse of the ruins. The most guessed thing was that the house was deliberately collapsed by the real estate agent.

This speculation is not groundless, because in the recent period of time, there are rumors that the city government is preparing to hand over this abandoned apartment building to a real estate developer in Moonlight City, but the apartment building is already full of poor people. If these poor people are not resettled, It is difficult for real estate developers to start construction.

Therefore, real estate developers will secretly start to collapse all the houses and completely solve this problem.

As for the evidence, this row of houses collapsed completely. In the eyes of the onlookers, even if the house collapsed due to damage or obsolescence, it would only be part of the collapse. It is impossible to collapse together so completely at the same time, only Those who have mastered the profound architectural knowledge know how to make these apartment buildings collapse.

This kind of claim that the realtor collapsed the house was increasingly recognized by the onlookers. Some people had already coaxed to march to the city hall and urged the municipality to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Leo, who is also a bystander, if he is just an ordinary person, he may have recognized the so-called truth that has been recognized by most people, but in his spiritual vision, this ruin is not like what the scene looks like. Simply, the ruin of this apartment building experienced an evil **** sacrifice last night. The real eye attached to Leo Ling's vision can clearly see that the sacrifice energy remaining in the ruin has formed a vague and distorted illusion in the air.

Because the time is too long, and the flow of people is too much, the energy of the sacrifices covering the ruins is serious. It is difficult to see who caused the tragedy from the illusions formed by these energy breaths.

However, Leo does not need to rely on these illusions to determine who was responsible for the tragedy, because the murderer is on the scene and there is no need to find or infer.

I saw that a wagon was parked not far from the ruins. The sheriff who was responsible for maintaining the order of the ruins was standing beside the wagon at the moment, as if listening to the instructions of the people in the wagon.

Although the carriages were covered by curtains, these shields had no effect on Leo’s spiritual net. He easily knew who was sitting in the carriage.

"Bloody Natasha." Leo remembered the name of the person in the car silently, feeling the residual sacrifice energy exuding from the other party through the spiritual net, and then looked at the ruin again.

With the same two kinds of energy fluctuations in sacrifice, Leo is basically certain that this tragic event was caused by the **** baroness, and those poor people living in this row of apartment buildings should have been sacrificed by her to her. God of faith in rhetoric.

The only question that came to Leo’s mind was whether the blood family knew or did not know whether it was acquiescence to the blood lord or the blood lord’s own behavior.

If it was only the behavior of the Bloody Countess, then this matter would be simple, but it was only a sacrifice of a cultist, whether it is the Church of the Hill King or the blood family, it will definitely handle this matter, but if the Bloody Countess The behavior is obtained by the tacit consent of the blood, then this matter is worth pondering.

"It seems that there may be a big change here." Leo's thought came to his mind, and then he continued to walk towards the abandoned factory without looking back, without looking at the ruin again.

And when Leo left, the **** prince’s carriage curtain was lifted by a corner, and the **** Countess Natasha looked at Leo’s figure from the corner, looking very serious, frowning. They also wrinkled, showing a little worry.

In fact, when Leo’s Spirit Net discovered the carriage, the **** baroness in the carriage was also aware, but she dared not take any countermeasures because she instinctively produced a dangerous feeling, and The threat was so strong that it made her feel like she had a knife on her neck.

In her memory, she had only had such a strong sense of danger a few times, and the existences she faced in those few times were all that she could only look up to, so she also subconsciously regarded Leo as such an existence, Don't dare to do anything extra, don't dare to say anything extra.

It wasn't until that feeling disappeared that she was relieved a little, and driven by strong curiosity, she lifted the curtains to see who was the man who gave him such a strong sense of danger.

Although she only saw a back view, she still judged Leo's identity from details such as dress and body shape.

Among the blood clan, Leo Dodd already has a lot of fame, and his reputation is not because of the rumored high tower wizard, nor the wizard potions he made, but because he is a witch. Companion of Sylvia Belmont.

Almost every blood group knows the agreement signed between the blood group and the witch, and they all know that in the agreement, the blood group gave the witch a lot of privileges, plus some stories about the witch that the blood group circulated, making the blood family have an inexplicable sense to the witch. Of awe, even if the blood race has never admitted this emotion.

So for some blood clan, becoming a witch’s partner means automatically having a striking aura, all blood clan’s attention will be focused on the other party, guessing the other party’s identity after tea and dinner, what qualities can be Attract witch and so on.

Although Natasha is not among the blood races that fear the witch, as long as she is in the blood race, she will inevitably hear about the witch, and Leo was also mentioned by other blood races in the early morning.

If it was in another place and time, after picking Leo, Natasha might also chat with Leo because of curiosity and get to know this legendary person called the last tower wizard, but now in this place , Especially Leo observed her behavior, making her unable to bear some worries about whether Leo noticed something.

This kind of worry magnified quickly from the moment it was generated, to the extent that it had affected the mood of the **** baroness, leaving her in no mood to stay here again, and immediately commanded the coachman to meet Kui Fan Manor, she would report it to the first time To see what decisions are made above.

Leo did not know his habitual use of the Spirit Net to check the situation, which made the **** Countess with special perception aware, and caused some bad associations, but even knowing that he would not care.

He has already cleared the ruins from his thoughts at this moment, he is not going to intervene in this matter, because if it is really as he guessed it was the last tacit consent of the blood race, then he investigates this matter Undoubtedly, he is the enemy of the entire blood clan, and with his current strength to face the blood clan of Asha County, I am afraid there is only the way to escape.

Feeling that Moonlight City has become a right and wrong nest, Leo feels that he should finish the things to be done and leave here as soon as possible, so his pace has also accelerated a lot.

After walking through the alley and two blocks, Leo came outside the wall of the abandoned factory.

Because of the scrapping, the surrounding walls around the factory were not repaired in time, and many places collapsed, revealing a breach that could be easily walked in.

It’s just that people living around the fence seem to be extremely afraid of the fence. Not only do they avoid the fence far away, even the windows and doors facing the busy old factory will not open, so this is next to the fence. The area where a road is located is extremely deserted, as if no one lives here.

Leo walked into the factory from the hole in the wall, bypassed an abandoned factory building, and walked along a path covered with weeds to the place where the garden in the factory was located yesterday.

The moment he entered the factory, Leo had discovered that some werewolves were secretly staring at him.

Compared with people who live together with humans and serve as officials of the Asha County Government and the blood of the nobles of the Kingdom of Marais, the werewolves are obviously much more low-key. They will only send some young werewolves to manage them in Asia every once in a while. Shakespeare's forces are regarded as the experience of these young werewolves, so the outside world does not know much about werewolves, but only knows that the internal institutional structure of the werewolf is still maintained in the elder stage of early tribal civilization.

Some people who are hostile to the werewolves, such as blood clan, use this as a weapon to attack the werewolves. More than once, they claim that the werewolves are still a barbaric race.

Leo doesn't care about this kind of malicious rumor, but Leo feels that this statement seems reasonable when he perceives these werewolves in the abandoned factory through the spiritual network.

Because under the perception of Leo's spiritual network~lightnovelpub.net~, the emotions and expressions exuded from these werewolves are all animal nature than human nature, and he feels that these werewolves seem to be more willing to keep the body in the beast state of the werewolf It is not a human state.

"Is this because the degradation of the species caused by the lack of maternal guidance?" Leo's conjecture came to mind.

Leo walked fast, and it didn't take long to get outside the garden where he arrived yesterday.

At this time, a werewolf nearly three meters high got out of the bush and fell in front of Leo, grinning at his teeth, as if intimidating.

"You know you look like a dog." Leo looked at the werewolf calmly and said.

After listening to the werewolf, he was stunned, followed by a look of anger, opened the wolf mouth at Leo, but just before he had the next move, Leo’s fist had already hit him on the head and put him He flew out directly, hit a tree not far away, landed on the ground, and passed out.

Unexpectedly, Leo would actually start, all the werewolves around were stunned, but soon they reacted, one by one from the woods, surrounded Leo by the menacing force, there was a kind of ready to besiege Leo momentum.
