Latest website: Through the marks left on the subordinates of the Dark Lord, Leo quickly found a secret room hidden in the large garden of the inner city.
This secret room is very large, occupying almost half of the underground area of the big garden. Leo didn't know what it was used for before, but now this secret room is used to treat those who are crazy because of implants.
The madmen who were sent to the ground were lying on the ground in the secret room. Without exception, their hands, feet and bodies were immobilized, unable to move. In addition, they were not seriously injured, which could allow them to survive the pain of surgery. , as for those with serious injuries, they will all be treated as casualties on the road and will not be sent here.
Although the people in charge of treating these madmen are said to be shamans, and they also have some supernatural powers that shamans should have, their methods of treating these wounded are more like doctors.
While not applying any drugs such as anesthesia to the madman, they controlled a special plant to drill into the madman's body, constantly stimulating the madman's implant to continue to mutate, and then through the craniotomy tools used by some doctors, For example, a hand-cranked hole opener, etc., open a hole in the head of the madman facing the implant, and during the rapid mutation of the implant, find a chance for the implant to escape from the madman's brain, The implant is removed, and the removed skull is capped back and allowed to heal.
There is no anesthesia for the entire operation, and the maniac needs to be stimulated for a long time. Even if the implant is successfully removed, the maniac needs to rely on luck to avoid postoperative complications.
Therefore, although a large number of able-bodied madmen were sent here for treatment, there were not many cured people who could be carried out alive. Afterwards, complications were caused, and many of them were unable to bear the surgery and the physical pain afterward, so they chose to commit suicide at the moment when the restraint was lifted.
As for how many of these crazy people can be cured in the end, the shamans who were found by the dark masters don't care, and there are no more people who are assigned here by the dark masters. They care more about those who come from the crazy head The excavated implant.
The moment those implants were dug out, they were immediately put into a special metal box, and a large number of mysterious symbols were engraved on the box. These symbols generated some power to make the implants in the box. in a dormant state.
After each dug up implant was carefully sealed, a certain number of implants were collected, and a team composed entirely of superhumans was transported out of the treatment room, out of the large garden, and along the lines that had been cleaned out. , and a large number of patrolling teams of city guards were sent all the way to the torch torch located in the center of the city.
The Torch Building is the tallest building in the entire Red Clay City, with a total of 33 floors. In many cities in the Old World, the height of this building can also be ranked one of the top ten.
The architect who designed and supervised the construction of this building was Guy Albert, a very famous architect in the Old World at that time. Nine out of ten great buildings that can be named in the entire Old World were created by him. Known for religious buildings, he rarely designs civil buildings, so at that time, everyone did not know why the master architect would build such a 33-story building for the lawless place of Red Clay City.
The interesting thing is that when this building was first built, it was not used to live in people, but to tell the time, because every day the staff in the building would light the torches on different floors at different times. Due to the high building, the entire inner city was besieged. It can be seen from the district, so some people at that time also called it the time-keeping building.
Later, the red clay city was expanded, separating the inner and outer two large urban areas. The middle was also separated by city walls of different heights, which greatly weakened the time-reporting effect of the building. In the end, only the brazier at the top of the building that was not extinguished all the year round was retained. The function was cancelled, and the building was transformed into rooms one by one, becoming a large hotel.
The ownership of the Torch Building has changed hands several times. Now the owner of the Torch Building is Roland Sangers, a big smuggler in Red Clay City. The most, naturally he also has the most men and horses.
However, it is such a big man who can shake the red earth city with any movement, but died on his mistress's belly, and what is even more bizarre is that according to the time of death, he died not long after he climbed into his mistress's bed. , while his mistress said that he still had affairs with her for a long time, until it was over in the middle of the night.
Although the room where he and his mistress are located is not the topmost floor of the Torch Building, it should be 27 floors high. The windows are all polished with crystal and cannot be opened and closed. The walls are not ordinary walls, they are all thickened with a layer of steel plate. There are also more than a dozen protectors outside the room, including several extraordinary ones. It is absolutely impossible to be assassinated, but in fact he was indeed assassinated.
Some people also suspected that it was the mistress's hand, because only this mistress had the chance to kill Roland Sanjies, but this claim was quickly refuted, because the mistress was just an ordinary person, and Roland Sanjies was She is a real superhuman and an experienced veteran, not to mention the mistress whose strength is not as good as that of ordinary people. He didn't even have time to let out a cry for help.
And in the end, the reason why the mistress was not a killer was because someone was willing to bail her out, and the bailiff turned out to be Roland Sanjez's wife.
It is impossible to find out the cause of Roland Sangers' death in a short period of time, and no one is willing or has time to pursue it, because the great turmoil soon broke out in the inner city and spread to all the forces.
In this case, Roland Sanjies' wife Linda Sanjies did a very good job of quelling the disputes within his own forces, and obtained two-thirds of the large and small forces that Roland Sanjies had previously controlled. The people supported him, accepted most of his husband's business, and also played a role in stabilizing the situation during the turmoil, protecting many ordinary people who were affected by the turmoil and living in the inner city in the Torch Building.
Although the turmoil in the Red Clay City is not over yet, as long as anyone with a little brains knows, the woman Linda Sangers will definitely become one of the giants of the Red Clay City, and some people even speculate that Linda Sanjies has won the A dark chair.
If it was just a rumor that Linda Sanjays had become one of the Dark Lords before, then the vast majority of people in the inner besieged city no longer think it is a rumor, because now those who belong to the Dark Lord have already The Torch Building was used as a base, and they went in and out without hesitation. Some people even saw Linda Sangers directing these people to do things.
The sealed implants taken from those crazy people were also sent to the Torch Building at the first time. After being handed over to the people in the building, they were sent directly to the top floor by the people in the building.
At this moment, the top floor of the building has been transformed into storage rooms, all of which are stored in these storage rooms. The staff of the building are orderly recording the number and status of each implant. As the current nominal resident of the building, Linda Sangers sat idly by the side. She didn't seem like a conductor, but more like a bystander. What was more interesting was sitting beside her. It happened to be her deceased husband's mistress, and from some of the actions of the two, their relationship was unusual.
After counting the latest batch of implants into the warehouse, the warehouse supervisor walked up to Linda Sangers and whispered, "Please don't worry, we're just borrowing your building, wait a minute. Once the unrest has subsided, the things here will be moved immediately."
"I would prefer to know what you are going to do with me after the turmoil subsides." Linda Sanjies asked with a hint of worry although her face was very calm.
At the same time as she asked, the mistress sitting beside her could not help clenching her hand.
The other party said with a smile: "You are the widow of Roland Sanjays, and you are also the heir to all his property. The agreement between Roland Sanjays and us was also inherited by you, so what it was before is still the same now. What it is like, other than changing a collaborator, nothing will change."
Linda Sangers did not breathe a sigh of relief, but continued to ask: "Even if Roland was killed by my plan, does it matter that his death almost caused your plan to go wrong?"
"Mr. Roland's death didn't affect our plan, on the contrary..., huh, there are some things you don't need to know, and you don't have to worry about how Mr. Roland died. For us, Mr. Roland's death and life It doesn't matter." The other party didn't finish speaking, smiled, and gave Linda Sanjies a reassuring answer, saying: "We are more concerned about the follow-up cooperation and whether the tasks we entrusted to you can be successfully completed. ."
"What kind of commission are you talking about?" Linda Sangers frowned and said, "Which commission has always been handled by Roland himself, I can't get involved at all, and now let me complete it I am afraid…"
The other party said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, as long as the situation stabilizes, someone will be sent to relieve you. At that time, you only need to operate this matter in a normal way, and there is no need for extra actions until we need it. You are doing as we ordered, you see, isn't it a very simple thing?"
Linda Sanjies didn't ask any more questions. She knew that continuing to ask would be detrimental to her current situation. She only needs to be a collaborator honestly now, and wait until she really masters the rest. Let's talk about the people and forces that the dead ghost husband left behind.
At the same time, the few people who were talking did not notice that on the roof of the upper floor, Leo was spying on their every move through the mental network, and also heard the content of their conversation.
From the simple conversations of these people, Leo confirmed at least a few things. First of all, that Roland Sanjes is definitely not one of the dark masters, and his power is not as strong as the outside rumors, at least in smuggling, he It should be just a fox and a tiger, and the person who really controls the smuggling caravan should be one of the dark masters of the red clay city.
In addition, Leo realized that he had fallen into a misunderstanding because of the various rumors about the red clay city itself, that is, the dark master of the red clay city must be the local forces of the red clay city, but now the person downstairs who is responsible for arranging the implants But it made him understand that the dark masters of Red Clay City can also be non-Red Clay City forces, and they can completely control the Red Clay City through other means.
If you think about it this way, then Kitt, who was assassinated first, was probably not the dark master of Red Clay City. He should also be a puppet who was pushed to the front of the stage. The real Dark Lord of Clay City was most likely Barbarisa.
This changed Leo's opinion of Barbarisa, because in his mind Barbarisa was a big dignitary who didn't like to take the initiative to provoke trouble and liked to live a leisurely life, but now it seems that Barbarisa is lazy and leisurely. Under his appearance and behavior, there is probably a hidden ambition that is just around the corner, otherwise, he would not have been able to lay out the red clay city a long time ago.
At least from Leo's point of view, Barbarisa's blacksmith shop in Kitt had already begun to intervene in the power of Clay City before he emerged in Clay City, and he may even have become one of the dark masters of Clay City at that time.
And in the end, one thing that made Leo sure is that the transcendental organization must also be one of the dark masters of the Red Clay City, because the person who just talked to Linda Sangers is a member of that organization. , and is likely to be a member of the inner ring, because implants were also implanted in him, but the implants on his body were very different from those that were sealed. His implants were It is closer to the implant on Barbarisa. At this stage, it is perfectly integrated with him, and there are no side effects.
Undoubtedly, judging from the various information obtained now, this detached organization should have also participated in the turmoil in the Red Clay City, and its purpose should be the same as the Justice Church to observe the situation of the implants, but they hide it. Behind the scenes, the archbishop who led the Justice Church jumped out to complete the test for them, and even the final test product was taken by them. I have to say that the loss of the Justice Church this time is probably not small, no wonder that The Archbishop wanted to cover up the loss by completely destroying the Clay City.
However, this also caused more and more doubts in Leo's heart. Barbarisa, the Transcendence Organization, and the Church of Justice seem to be planning something in this red city. These are just a few people and forces that have been exposed. There are other dark masters who are still hidden now, and those dark masters can be on an equal footing with Barbarisa and the others. Obviously, their power should not be weak. So many powerful forces are staring at this place in the Red Clay City, which makes him wonder if there is a Red Clay City. There was something magical that he didn't discover, otherwise it would be hard to explain why these people were staring at Clay City.
