Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 160: Creating black holes with hands

The members of the Scorpion Squad watched Edward and Barbara come out and followed Su'en's lead to approach them for information.

"Hey, Mr. Edward..."

"Oh, beautiful Miss Barbara..."

"..."

No matter what opening line they used, as long as it didn't trigger any keywords, the two key NPCs completely ignored these "outsiders" and left directly.

The other hunters were left disappointed and turned their attention to Su'en, who came out later.

"Hey, you!"

Gallop's face darkened as he stopped Su'en.

Without beating around the bush, he bluntly asked, "What did you say to those two guys just now?"

...

Su'en had long noticed that the Scorpion Squad was watching his every move, from entering the banquet hall to entering the backstage... until now.

Seeing these guys with obvious ill intentions, he furrowed his brows.

Explaining any further would be a waste of time.

Su'en had no intention of paying attention to this group of people and ignored Gallop's words. However, when he tried to leave, he was blocked by members of the Scorpion Squad, each with a gun or knife in hand.

Only then did he coldly ask, "What do you want?"

Gallop asked again, "What did you say to those two ancient people just now?"

Su'en's brows furrowed at the intimidating aura and he retorted, "Do I have an obligation to explain to you?"

After all, he was the leader of a prestigious hunting squad, and Gallop naturally couldn't openly demand information.

He said firmly, "I already told you when I came in, don't trigger any special plot. Did you ignore my words?"

At this moment, one of the lackeys stepped forward, pretending to be reasonable, and said, "Captain Gallop is right! Those two ancient people are guests on the second floor. If they don't go up by midnight, we're all dead. So, you must give us an explanation!"

The demand for an explanation was false, but the request for information was true.

Since the discovery of this cursed space, one or two thousand people had entered. Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that the "Magician" and the "Songstress" were not ordinary, but no one had ever heard of anyone being able to extract useful information from them.

The hunters were also well aware that the first floor was just an appetizer, and the real treasures were on the second or third floor with the VIPs.

Discovering some alchemical knowledge or alchemical items at random would definitely be an opportunity to get rich overnight.

Now that someone had stumbled upon a "trick", how could they not be envious?

Seeing Su'en's attitude of wanting to "monopolize" everything, Gallop threatened again, "You better make it clear. Otherwise, if anyone triggers any dangerous plot, I don't mind taking them out first."

...

Su'en originally didn't mind explaining a few words.

It wasn't that Su'en wanted to kill them, but rather the five major family hunting squads outside.

From the moment the 1021 room opened, it was destined that the hunting squad entering the cursed space this time would be wiped out. If you don't trigger the plot, you will definitely die, but if you do trigger it, you might have a chance to survive...

However, the malice around him was like needles.

This guy really had murderous intent.

Su'en's face no longer showed any expression, and he calmly asked, "Do you want to kill me?"

Gallop snorted coldly, and it was self-evident: you know it.

However, no one expected that Su'en, like a reckless youth, completely didn't understand the situation.

He just casually said, "Oh."

Oh?

Seeing that Su'en was completely disrespectful, Gallop's face turned iron blue.

The lackeys of the Scorpion Squad were also unhappy, like cats whose tails had been stepped on, they exploded on the spot.

"Kid, our captain is talking to you nicely, and you dare to ignore him? Do you really think we won't touch you now that we have security guards?!"

"Captain Gallop, don't waste your breath on this kind of person. I say, if he doesn't give us a satisfactory explanation, let's just tie him up and throw him in the wine cellar to die."

"..."

The hunting squad no longer concealed their intentions, and their questioning turned into a blatant threat to their lives.

Without the hotel security guards, someone would have died long ago.

But it wouldn't be Su'en, it would be them.

Blocked again, Su'en became a little impatient with their entanglement.

He was no longer polite and said, "Get lost."

The Scorpion Squad's ruffians didn't develop their arrogance in just one or two days. They were used to being overbearing, so how could they tolerate such arrogance?

As soon as Su'en spoke, someone immediately jumped out and said, "Kid, who the hell do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that?"

At this point, Su'en no longer concealed his killing intent and a hint of mockery appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He tilted his head and looked at the group of people, "My name... If you know it, you'll die. Are you sure you want to know?"

When Gallop heard this, his heart trembled inexplicably.

He realized that he might have encountered a tough opponent.

Why would someone be so arrogant if they didn't have a background?

But, this was the cursed space!

Heh... If there really was a background, offending them would make it even more impossible for them to leave alive!

Gallop's eyes grew colder.

Although the members of the Scorpion Squad were intimidated by this aura, it was impossible for more than a dozen people to back down just like that.

The deputy captain raised his head arrogantly and sneered, "Hahaha... Am I scared? Come on, tell me, what's your fucking name? I'll die if I hear it!"

This time, Su'en didn't waste any words and calmly said, "Oh... My name is Su'en."

With that, he didn't look back and left directly from the crowd.

This time, no one dared to stop him.

...

He said... his name is Su'en?

This name seemed to have a magical power.

Everyone's hearts were filled with confusion.

This name seemed familiar, but they couldn't recall it in an instant.

No, it should be said that no one dared to think about it.

The group of people looked at each other, seeing the doubt and the inexplicable unease in each other's eyes.

After a while, someone finally voiced the possibility that almost everyone had thought of, trembling as they said, "It seems... the recently notorious S-rank wanted criminal... is called... Su'en."As soon as he spoke, it seemed as if the whole world fell silent.

Their gazes turned towards the departing figure, finally understanding where his confidence came from.

They suddenly realized that his previous words were not a threat, but the truth.

In this world, it was a grave offense to reveal the face of a bandit or announce the name of a wanted criminal.

If he really was the "S-Rank Wanted Criminal," would he let these people who knew his identity live?

In that instant, they all heard the sound of swallowing saliva.

Even the leader of the Scorpion Squad, Gallop, had a pale face.

Even though the man had his back turned to them, Gallop didn't dare to draw his gun.

A ruthless character who made it onto the S-Rank Wanted List had the strength to kill second-tier professionals. Could they, a small hunting squad, provoke him?

Although they regretted it, it was too late.

Gallop's face turned dark.

"Boss, what if he really is 'Su'en'?"

"So what if he's a wanted criminal? Do you think I'll kneel and beg for mercy? Fuck that! We'll take him down before midnight. I don't believe he has three heads and six arms with all this weird shit going on! Let's not hunt anymore, let's make some money today!"

"Yes, he didn't dare to make a move because he's also wary of the guards. We can even find an opportunity to provoke a conflict and let the guards arrest him. By then, even if he is the wanted criminal, we can use the rules of space to kill him!"

"..."

As soon as he said that, the others also agreed.

.......

The Scorpion Squad didn't have the courage to shoot on the spot.

Su'en also didn't bother with them.

He walked over and met Edward and Barbara who had just come downstairs.

They had just come down from the second floor and brought along a new companion, an old lady in a black robe with tattoos all over her face.

Edward introduced Su'en to their companion, "This is Mrs. Aqiman, she is an Exorcist and is skilled in dealing with dark arts. We have another companion who will come down later."

"Okay."

Su'en didn't say much and led the three of them to the door of room 1021.

He used lockpicking techniques to open the door.

Edward and the others went in first, and then they saw the corpse on the bed.

The old lady with tattoos on her face also had a solemn expression and said, "This is indeed the corpse of the 'Faceless Man.' Destroying the corpse will immediately alert the spellcaster."

Edward sighed, "The people in the hotel should have already been contaminated, there's no need to evacuate. Let's prepare for battle."

Barbara didn't say anything, but at this moment, she had already completed her Succubus transformation. Her pupils turned red and a tail grew out. A strange pink mist enveloped her entire body.

Su'en didn't get close, but stood far away, hiding his body behind the invisible zombie.

Just as they were about to destroy the corpse, a man with a crew cut suddenly arrived.

Edward and the others recognized him and greeted him, "Rosco, you're here."

But as soon as this person entered, Su'en's pupils suddenly contracted.

He looked at the man's unusually large earlobes and immediately thought of the description given by the receptionist.

Terrifyingly, Su'en exclaimed in his heart, "This guy is the one who booked these four rooms... Teg Galsen!"

Identifying him, the name above this guy's head was also "Rosco the Enchanted Beast Tamer."

.......

Enchanted?

This guy set up these four corpses!

It turned out that it wasn't just the old nun, there was also a mole in Edward's team.

Su'en could even guess that a thousand years ago, these people failed to handle this incident, most likely because of this guy.

However, even though he discovered this, Su'en's face showed no signs of surprise.

Since the person had arrived, there was no need to say anything. They would definitely fight.

Three against one, the advantage was still on their side.

He didn't dare to reveal the truth, for fear of being targeted by the "Enchanted Rosco." Instead, he silently took out the Puppet and activated the Warlock Seal, quietly removing his disguise...

Edward and the others looked at Su'en's Spider Spear Planting Equipment, slightly raising their eyebrows, but they didn't say anything.

At this moment, the old lady had already taken out some red crystals and alchemical powder, intending to destroy the corpse.

Suddenly, the crew-cut man made a move!

Without any warning, he extended his hands and in the blink of an eye, they turned into two spotted venomous snakes. Opening their mouths, they bit towards the necks of the magician in front of him and the old lady in the black robe.

Edward sensed the danger and his figure suddenly flashed, appearing several meters away.

But the old lady in the black robe couldn't dodge in time and was bitten on the neck by the venomous snake.

"Rosco, what are you doing!"

"Be careful, he's already contaminated!"

"..."

Several urgent shouts.

Rosco's face was expressionless, and black energy surged all over his body. An alchemical array lit up under his feet, and in the next second, thousands of spotted venomous snakes suddenly flooded into the entrance of room 1021!

Each venomous snake had bloody mouths and venomous fangs, rushing towards the people in the room.

What was even more eerie was that under the corpse of the "Faceless Man" on the bed, a gray alchemical array suddenly lit up.

The corpse... stood up straight!

Su'en's scalp tingled as he silently took out the sack he had previously taken from the corpse and put it over his head.

Through the gaps in the sack, he watched everything in the room.

There was no need for him to fight.

.......

The crew-cut man suddenly turned against them, catching Edward and the others off guard.

But that didn't mean the three of them had no power to fight back.

The black-robed old lady was bitten on the neck by the venomous snake, and her face instantly turned black, a sign of death.

However, at this moment, she also took out a black cloth doll and sprayed a mouthful of black blood onto it.

Upon closer inspection, her face instantly regained a healthy color.

As they watched the tide of venomous snakes rushing in, Edward's hands rapidly changed the Warlock Seal, and a black hexagram array lit up under his feet.

Then, a miraculous scene occurred.

Su'en looked at the space in the palms of Edward's hands, which suddenly twisted.In the blink of an eye, it was as if the "canvas" of space had been forcibly torn apart, turning into two increasingly large black whirlpools. The tide-like venomous snakes surged in, but before they could wreak havoc, they were suddenly swallowed by a powerful suction force into the two black whirlpools in the palms, disappearing to an unknown destination.

Su'en watched this battle scene from the side, his heart filled with shock: "Creating black holes with hands? Is this... is this spatial ability so outrageous?!"

He was also grateful that he had not planned to directly ambush this magician before.

This move had completely dumbfounded Su'en, who had never seen such spatial abilities.

......

On the other hand, the battle in the room was still ongoing.

Barbara had transformed into a succubus, her body exploding into a cloud of pink mist. When she reappeared, she was already enveloping the bald man.

But the next moment, a delicate shout came: "Roscoe has been completely corrupted, I can't control him!"

Before the words fell, the bald man's skin suddenly began to swell, and huge tumors bulged out from his body, tearing his clothes... He was about to turn into a monstrous creature.

"Kill him!"

Edward made a decisive decision, shouting sharply.

He closed the black hole in his palm, clasped his hands together in a gesture of squeezing space, and the space around the bald man seemed to solidify, his body suddenly stiffening there.

A cold light flashed in the pink mist, and before the monstrous creature that the bald man had turned into could go berserk, a huge head rolled to the ground.

The old woman in black breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the corpse in the room, she said: "The four resentful corpses have been resurrected. Killing one alone, they will resurrect indefinitely. We must kill all four at the same time, or kill the caster to break the curse!"

Edward also shouted: "Hurry to the third floor! The old nun must have been heavily corrupted! Fortunately, we knew the plan in advance, let's kill her before she is fully demonized!"

The change happened too quickly, and the group had no time to hesitate.

Without saying another word, Edward and the others rushed out.

The battle came suddenly and ended just as suddenly.

From the appearance of the bald man to now, in just a few moments, there were no more snakes in room 1021, and no more people...

All that was left was a decapitated corpse on the ground, and a stiff corpse of the "Faceless Man" on the bed.

Oh, and Su'en, with a sack over his head, in the corner.

......

Outside, gunshots had already sounded, and the NPCs in the hotel seemed to have started to mutate.

Su'en looked at the two corpses in the room, muttering to himself: "The plot seems to have gone awry..."

The person who booked the room was Edward's teammate, which he hadn't expected.

But... it didn't seem to make much difference.

They had to fight anyway.

The only difference was that the "Ghost Fog" that was supposed to erupt at midnight had come two hours early.

He didn't know whether this was good or bad.

Su'en wanted to leave the room, but at that moment, he saw the "Faceless Man's Corpse" suddenly bloom. Then, from the petals, a pistil grew, and several meters long, tumor-filled, flesh-colored tentacles swayed out...

Those seven or eight tentacles, like snake tongues, probed around in the air, seemingly searching for living beings by scent.

Su'en didn't move, the information he identified was exactly the same as what the old woman in black had just said.

"Demonized Faceless Man's Corpse"

Explanation: A bizarre second-order silver zombie species; a special evil ritual material, if the caster is not killed to interrupt the ritual, or if the four resentful corpses are not killed at the same time, the bizarre will resurrect indefinitely in the formation.

Although it's a zombie species, it can't be killed.

Su'en looked at the formation that lit up in the room, and guessed that this room was the "respawn point" of the bizarre.

At this time, the tentacles seemed to have detected the presence of a living person in the room. The slime-dripping tentacles groped towards where Su'en was standing, getting closer and closer...

But fortunately, the "sack" worked.

Just a foot away, the tentacles seemed to sense a scent that repulsed them and retracted.

The "Faceless Man's Corpse" ignored Su'en and left the room.

......

"Phew..."

Su'en let out a sigh of relief.

A glow had already appeared on the decapitated corpse in the room.

He walked over and picked up the golden job material "Beastmaster's Whip".

It's a pity it's not a magician's material...

Su'en frowned slightly.

As the previous information suggested, the bizarre here easily produces high-level materials.

But this also means that if he wants to guard Edward's corpse, he has to go upstairs.

Su'en thought about it, took out the "Hangman's Noose" and put it on his arm, then hung the bag containing the "Wet Hair" around his waist, and used the "Resentful Infant's Swaddling Cloth" as a cloak...

After doing all this, he controlled the living corpse to leave the room.
