Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 71 No conditions to win, create conditions

Su Lun found the assassin who appeared out of nowhere behind him. Not only was he not surprised, but he had expected it.

He decisively tore off the leather jacket, and one of the two puppets let out a piercing wail, and flew towards the enemy with a strange grin. Their hands also cracked, revealing black poisoned dagger blades.

The assassin staggered, but he didn't seem to realize why he suddenly lost his mind for a moment, bit his tongue fiercely, and instantly regained consciousness. But at this time, he saw that the poison-enchanting blade had been poked in front of his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

With a "clang", sparks flew everywhere.

The assassin parried away a puppet's dagger, but felt that his expression was in a trance again: Not good!

Instinctively responding to a crisis, he made an extreme backward movement. At this time, the dagger of another puppet had already passed the assassin's cheek, and there was a slight corrosion sound, and a gap was cut on the edge of the hood.

"This puppet is weird!"

The assassin saw something tricky, and just about to reach out to grab it, he suddenly saw the two puppets fly back like lightning.

If he can't get a blow, he will withdraw in time.

At this moment, Su Lun, who is the manipulator, also showed a look of pity on his face, and said in his heart: "Second-level professionals are not so easy to be hurt."

The assassin on the opposite side was even more surprised when he saw Su Lun in front of him, his eyes flashed with caution: This guy is not an ordinary puppet master!

In fact, as early as when Reina was rescued from the amoeba hunt, Su Lun had been restoring the entire assassination process in his mind.

He had already guessed that there might be an insider in the trial team.

But that mentor, August, should be fine.

Otherwise, the killers wouldn't have to bother to kill Leina. With his status as a mentor and the strength of a Tier 2 professional, he has countless opportunities to directly kill Leina.

On the contrary, the reason why those killers chose to attack in the burrow, and deliberately made a special smell on Lena's body, and used the amoeba to hunt and kill all of them, probably because of August's protection along the way, they made such a bad plan .

Moreover, Su Lun also found a suspicious point.

That is, he was sure that Augustus had been following the trial team, but this strong man died without any movement, which made people feel a little unbelievable.

After all, the mentors of the Black Tower Alchemy Academy are all carefully selected strong men. Even if the second-tier mentor August is attacked by surprise, it is impossible to die without even sending out warning signals.

I couldn't figure out why before, but now I know the fact that Daniel is the ghost, which just makes up for Su Lun's doubts.

Su Lun could even restore the entire battle process in his mind.

At that time, Daniel left the trial team, in fact, to assassinate August. Because of his status as a teaching assistant, it was easy to succeed in a close-up sneak attack, and then use his special talent [Forbidden Magic] ability to ban August. But with his strength, he still can't kill the second-tier powerhouse, so Su Lun concluded that there is at least one second-tier professional who is good at stealth and sneak attacks in the killer team.

Therefore, when a stalker appeared behind him just now, Su Lun was not surprised at all.

Facing second-tier professionals, especially agility-enhanced stalkers, muskets are almost useless.

Having seen the feat of "Red Devil" Goron slashing bullets, Su Lun didn't think that he, a "gun master", had any chance of winning against second-tier professionals.

Therefore, he resolutely gave up the musket and showed his professional ability for the first time: manipulating puppets.

The reason why the "Puppeteer" is weird is that the most important method is to make all kinds of weird rune puppets.

The two puppets with blue runes beside him, one with a red and white smiling face, and the other with a blue and gold crying face, are obviously two of the basic weird puppets, [Wailing Doll] and [Smiley Doll].

Neither of these little things looked like the stodgy dead things in a puppet show. Under Su Lun's nimble ten-finger control, they seemed to come alive, their limbs danced happily, their joints twisted flexibly, and even the expressions on Horror's face were lifelike, blinking, grinning, angry, and howling.

They are like two ghosts, dancing in the dark, laughing eeriely

As soon as he appeared on the stage, a terrifying aura instantly enveloped the surroundings.

Of course, the cuties are not only cute in appearance, but also have extraordinary cursing effects.

These two kinds of puppets are spiritual curses. One is a sonic attack, which will affect people's mind when they hear the sound; the other is a visual attack like these spider monsters. Looking directly at the smiling face will cause hallucinations.

When Su Lun knew that he was going to fight, he carried the two dolls on his back to prevent accidents.

Although his puppet-making skills have just started, the two crafty dolls are not of high grade and their attack range is very small. But it's also enough to give short-term mind control to close targets.

This is also the reason why the stealthy assassin just now appeared staggeringly. That guy was affected by the two cunning puppets.

"It disappeared again. That guy's talent should be stealth-related abilities, [Talent C-025-Chameleon], [Talent B-077-Stealth], or the rarer [Light Absorber]."

Su Lun narrowed his eyes and stared at the darkness, losing sight of the second-tier assassin again.

He didn't dare to be careless, and the two puppets kept showing mental fluctuations, laughing and crying, in order to ensure that they would not be killed close by.

But obviously, although the curse of the puppet has a strong characteristic, its strength is still a big step behind.

Su Lun didn't think these two puppets could save him from a second-tier assassin.

After all, facing this kind of assassin who is good at stealth, the attack methods are not only melee assassination, assassins are also good at various long-range weapons.

No matter how cautious he was, the current situation was almost a fatal situation for Su Lun.

but

In terms of one-on-one, Su Lun really has no chance of winning, but there are not only the two of them in this cave!

The dark caverns beneath Old Lingdon are not the domain of humans, but the domain of aberrant monsters.

Since there is no chance of winning, then create a chance of winning!

Su Lun made such a big commotion in this cave, those [Variant Ghost-faced Spiders] hiding in the dark were already hungry and thirsty.

From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the black spider swarm above his head, and sneered in his heart: "Hey, we'll see who can survive the crowd of monsters"

Potions to block monsters' perception are hard to find, but bait to attract aberrations is hard to find.

Fresh human blood, corpses are the best things.

Daniel's corpse on the ground was steaming with blood, and the several "inducing potions" that Su Lun had smashed before also gave off a pungent smell.

Since the monster is the enemy, and the assassin is also the enemy, how about a three-way melee?

"He" likes the feeling of dancing on the edge of a knife.

Su Lun has mastered almost all the characteristics of the monster, and has targeted coping methods, but the second-tier assassin doesn't know anything about it.

This is a mutant monster, which means that the outside world has never seen it.

Mental attacks are treacherous and unpredictable, and there is no chance for people to make mistakes at all. Once controlled, it is doomed to a dead end.

And at this moment, these spider monsters did not disappoint Su Lun.

These eight-legged monsters hang upside down from the ceiling and run extremely fast.

The first thing they did was not to attack the three humans in the space, but to swish to the entrance of the corridor, and then spit out spider silk, blocking the way of escape in the blink of an eye.

"Seal the hole? This is not the wisdom that ordinary aberrations can possess. There is indeed a 'strange' hidden in the monster group."

Seeing this, Su Lun frowned slightly.

He had always felt that somewhere in the darkness there was a cold gaze that made his back chill, watching him from time to time. Looking at it now, the abnormal behavior of these spiders "blocking the door" made him immediately guess that there was a "weird" head in the group of ghost-faced spiders!

However, it was exactly what he wanted.

He didn't intend to escape at all, and it doesn't make any difference whether he blocks the door or not.

He couldn't run, and the assassin was also limited.

It happened to be a three-party melee.
