came out of the Holy Blood Society's station, Leo did not leave immediately, but walked around in this underground city controlled by the Holy Blood.
Although this is the place where the Holy Blood will be in charge, more than half of the people living and doing business here are local families from Venaya or other places, but the majority of these families have not changed much, even if there are They are also hidden in places where they are covered by clothes. On the surface, they are no different from ordinary people.
Only a very small part of the body has undergone great mutations. It has long been separated from the category of human form. It can no longer survive outside and can only live in this underground world. For this kind of completely mutated family, the Holy Blood Club did not let them go, but made some proper arrangements for them according to their abilities, such as paying for the land, helping these people to open shops underground, and so on.
Leo is now in this antique shop, which is a shop opened by an elderly family member whose body has completely mutated. The body of this family member clearly shows signs of insectification, and not only the limbs begin to show the characteristics of arthropods, even The eyes also turned into compound eyes, which caused an inexplicable fear.
It's just that the mutated body also brings him extraordinary abilities. When the old man was an ordinary person, he was a famous expert in the Sigma Kingdom, and the mutated eyes gave him the ability to identify jewelry, minerals, antiques, etc. Enhance with the day.
It's just that this ability didn't bring him any luck. He had to hide because of his physical variation, and then he was caught by the gang and locked up, and he specialized in identifying various valuables for the gang. Until two years ago, the Holy Blood Club eliminated this gangster specializing in family transactions, rescued the elderly, and regained stability.
In the gang, in order to prevent the old man from escaping, the old man's feet were cut off, and then he was locked in an invisible basement. After being rescued by the Holy Blood Society, he joined the Holy Blood Society, specializing in the identification of various mysterious items for the Holy Blood Society, and the Holy Blood Society also specially made a very delicate prosthesis for the elderly and opened an antique shop.
This shop was specially suggested by Leo when he left the Holy Blood. According to him, there are many mysterious items that cannot be identified.
Leo didn't care at first. In his view, the holy blood will have a crow, a mysterious psionic creature from the tower, even if there are good mysterious items, it will be found by the crow and left for the holy blood society to use , Where will it be sold out to others.
The reason that really attracted Leo to visit this store is the crystal wall specially built by the Holy Blood for this store. It is said that this crystal wall is opened on the outer wall, facing the estuary of the port of Vinaya. Every day, you can see the endless sea view and the sight of hundreds of ships traveling on the sea. Almost all people who come to the underground city will It's nice to walk around here, even if you don't buy anything, to see this represents the prosperity of the port of Venaya.
Only after coming to this antique shop, Leo found that he seemed to underestimate this shop, because after entering the shop, the oncoming waves of chaotic psionic fluctuations are like a touchstone. The people who enter the store are screened again.
Leo doesn't need to think about the Turing magic arrays that he can see through Lingshi, and judges that the layout in this shop must be the crow's handwriting. The Turing Magic Array all over the shop connects the mysterious items that are stored in the storage compartment together, guiding the mysterious items' own psionic fluctuations, forming a psionic wall at the entrance of the antique shop.
This psionic wall can help the shop owner recognize the identity of the person. Ordinary people will not have any problems passing through this psionic wall, just like passing through the air, and those bodies have some psionics. No matter what kind of psionic energy they have, they will experience more or less discomfort, and the stronger the psionic energy they possess, the stronger the discomfort.
Leo walked past this psionic wall, and felt that his entire figure had sunk into the thick heavy oil and died. At the same time, he felt the pressure from all directions, and even felt a kind of suffocation.
The psionic energy in Leo's body also naturally produces a stress response under this pressure. Almost no Leo's impulse is required. The pulsation fluctuation of the person near the fifth-level psionic energy is emitted from him like an electric wave to resist the surroundings. Psionic wall. And this kind of psionic confrontation also passed along the Turing magic circle to the storage compartments on the wall where the mysterious items were stored, causing the storage compartments to vibrate violently.
The shaking of the storage compartment naturally also alarmed the boss and guests in the shop. They thought that an earthquake had occurred and they lay on the ground or leaned against the wall and looked around with fear.
Fortunately, the psionic wall made by the Turing Magic Circle did not last long, and then disappeared automatically. After losing the external force, the psionic energy in Leo's body calmed down naturally, and the surroundings returned to calm.
Seeing that the abnormal situation calmed down, the customers in the store had not yet understood what was going on, but they were slightly relieved, and they sorted out some messy appearances on their bodies, and then pretended that nothing happened just now. The people in here talk about the transaction that was not completed just now.
After recovering from the initial panic as the store owner, he soon discovered that something was not right, because other items such as tables and chairs in the store did not show signs of an earthquake. Only the storage compartment where those mysterious items were stored vibrated. It also made him understand what was going on, and immediately looked at the entrance of the shop.
The shop owner’s mutant compound eyes have many abilities, many of which are very similar to Leo’s psychic skills, and can also see psionic fluctuations, which is why he can become the top expert in the world of vinylon today. One.
At the moment, Leo is like a torch formed in the eyes of the shop owner. It is not appropriate to say that the torch is larger than the torch. It is like molten steel in the furnace of the steel plant. It is dignified and hot. The illusion that people get burned when they get closer.
The shop owner immediately got up from the chair, walked to Leo, and saluted: "Welcome to the shop, I don't know what this adult wants to buy."
Leo didn't answer immediately, but looked at the shop owner's prosthesis extremely impolitely. Although he has long known that the mechanical craftsmanship of this world has reached a very high level, but after seeing this exquisitely made mechanical prosthesis, he still can’t help but sigh the exquisiteness of this prosthesis, and can’t help dreaming in his mind. The mechanical process of the lake town of Yinyuehu in the world is contrasted with the current process.
Although due to environmental reasons, the kinetic energy generated by the mechanical parts of the town on the lake can be extremely large, and a half-person steam engine can drive objects that are more than ten times or even hundreds of times larger than it, but the huge kinetic energy caused by the environment is removed. Not to mention the difference, in terms of the sophistication of mechanical craftsmanship, the mechanical craftsmanship of the Vinylon world is indeed slightly better than the town of Hushang.
Inside the prosthesis wrapped with transparent resin, you can clearly see that a large number of mechanical gears are turning, and at the same time, it will trigger the artificial nerve line in the resin, and then pass it to the user through a special shrapnel at the junction of the prosthesis and the residual limb. , Will bring some nerve vibration and touch to the user, just like a real body.
Although in the Commonwealth of the Earth, biochemical limbs and even cloned limbs have long existed, but through the operation of mechanical gears like this, plus some special metal wires, a prosthetic limb that can produce a nerve touch is created, which Leo can't help but Marvel at this mechanical process, and this mechanical manufacturing process also reminded him of the wheelchair of Elder Rembrandt and the people with mechanical limbs installed in the pub in Miria City.
"Do I need to take it down to show you?" The shop owner didn't seem to be the first to meet someone like Leo. He didn't get angry because of such excessive behavior, but asked Leo instead.
"No more!" Leo shook his head, then said casually: "I have seen similar prosthetic limb manufacturing processes in Miria City, but your pair of prosthetic limbs are more beautiful than I have seen."
"Oh! I know who you are talking about. My prosthesis should be made by the same person, and only that gentleman can make such a perfect prosthesis." The shop owner blinked his pair of compound eyes. Without shying away from his incomplete body, he said with a smile: "The original gentleman was also preparing to put a small set of steam power on the prosthesis, saying that it would give the prosthesis a strong strength. But I think I am not a combatant, There is no need to give the prosthesis an extra steam power, so I refused."
The old man's open-mindedness also made Leo quite applauded. After that, he didn't mention the old man's prosthesis, but turned to the store's merchandise and said: "I was introduced by Brown. He told me that you have some interesting things here. thing."
"Introduced by Mr. Brown, I understand." The shop owner nodded, commanded the people in the shop, and then led Leo to a separate small room next to the shop. After Leo was invited to sit down, Asked: "What interesting things do you want?"
Leo thought for a while and said, "Do you have anything related to alien gods here?"
"Is something related to the external god?" The shop owner was silent for a moment, and seemed to have some concerns. After a while, he solemnly said: "I do have a few things related to the external here, but those things are very Evil and terrible, people who contact them will be affected. At the beginning, the team of treasure hunters who came over from these few things, only one person can still barely remain normal, others are crazy, and the body has abnormal mutations, not The variation of the blood of the family is another kind of variation."
With that, he paused for a while, seeming to be calming his emotions, and then continued: "Although I believe that Mr. Brown will introduce you to my place, I am definitely affirming your strength, but these items are too dangerous. , Maybe beyond your ability, you see if you..."
"Don't worry, even if something happens, you won't be responsible." Leo raised his hand to interrupt the shop owner's persuasion, and then said with some doubt: "I don't understand, since this thing is so dangerous, why not Also find a safer place to keep it? Put it in this shop, if it is lost, won't it cause greater disaster?"
The shop owner said with great confidence: "Please rest assured that my shop is the safest in the entire underground city, except for the residence of the Holy Blood. If someone can those things from my shop, Then they will be robbed even if they are placed elsewhere."
finished, he did not persuade Leo again, but signaled Leo to wait in this room for a while, and he walked to a wall in the room, quickly raised his hand and pressed down on some parts of the wall. Immediately afterwards, a slight mechanical sound was heard inside the wall, and then the wall slowly cracked, revealing a numbered adjustment gear set. Turn the adjusting gears like you would the password box, adjust them to the proper position, and then press the lever next to the gear set.
With the sound of a gear turning out of the wall, a sealed box under the gear set slowly opened, followed by a tray holding a small box out.
The shop owner picked up the small box and set it aside, and then in the same way, took out two identical boxes from the storage room built in the wall.
After the things were taken out, the shop owner pressed down on the wall again, so that the machine that took the collection slowly retreated back into the wall.
Looking at the actions of the shop owner~EbookFREE.me~ Leo couldn’t help but want to laugh, thinking that the shop owner’s actions according to different parts of the wall weren’t touching any organs, it was a set of camouflage actions, his actions should be Through a certain monitoring capability, it is passed to the controller of the real storage room machinery, and then they are controlled to take out the items.
If someone really believes in this set of actions, and does it as it is, and does not say whether the organs of the storage room can be activated, even if they do, I am afraid that they are also some institutional weapons that have a lethal threat to the people in this house.
Leo did not dismantle the shop owner. His attention was attracted by the three boxes, because the three wooden boxes did not have anything like a wizard magic circle on the surface, just a beautiful box made of wood. Only the wood used in the box is very special. The moment when Leo’s spiritual net touches it, it is absorbed by the box.
When the shop owner put the box on the table, Leo immediately reached out and touched the box. He found that in addition to the previous spiritual net, all the powers in the body, the pressure in the palm, etc., as soon as they touched the box, they would immediately disappear.
Leo looked again at the arthropod-like hands of the shop owner. Obviously, the hard shell that replaces the skin outside is not just for increasing defense. I am afraid there are other abilities, perhaps because of these abilities. Old men without much power can sit in this antique shop with a lot of psionic items.
