Chapter 1162 Long Night Walk

"Is there another disaster-level monster?" After feeling the vibrations around, Sylvia's face immediately became serious, intending to go to the ground to see what happened.

"Wait! It's not outside." Leo suddenly called Sylvia, then turned his head toward a wall with Turing roots engraved on it not far away. In his spiritual vision, the wall was emitting waves of energy with the surrounding earthquake.

Seeing Leo's expression, Sylvia also noticed the wall. Although she did not have a mental network and spiritual vision, she could not be very sensitive to energy fluctuations like Leo, but the universal recorder she was wearing could faithfully record the energy around her and provide feedback to her in real time.

"Is it that giant?" Sylvia immediately made a judgment after sensing it.

"Yeah!" Leo nodded, then turned to look at the rune magic array that he had not stopped just now. He thoughtfully stopped the magic array that was still running, and took away the special container containing the remains of the monster.

After he finished all this, the frequency of vibration around him gradually decreased, the energy fluctuations also weakened, and everything soon returned to calm.

"What's going on? This giant has started to move again? If I remember well, every earthquake in Odorene takes at least half a year to happen again. Why did it happen again in less than a month?" Sylvia felt that the surroundings had calmed down, and said as if she was asking and answering herself: "Is it because of the long night stimulation? Or is it because we transformed the melting furnace in that heart?"

"I'm afraid there are all." Leo also quickly made a judgment. The power fluctuations generated by his rune magic array and the monster wreckage in the container just now stimulated the sleeping giant, and the smelting furnace transformation project in the giant's heart might have touched some prohibited things and power, which will eventually cause the movement just now.

"I want to go back and stay in the factory construction site so as not to have any more accidents." Sylvia immediately worried about the problems on the factory construction site, so she said to Leo and hurried out of the laboratory.

After Sylvia left, Leo came to an experimental table and put the wreckage in the container into a special metal basin on the experimental table. Then he took out a bucket made of stone from under the table, and introduced the dissolved solution made of more than a dozen materials and wizard alchemy into the metal basin.

The moment the dissolving solution comes into contact with the metal, it immediately emits an unpleasant smell, and a very subtle sizzling sound can be heard, as if you want to melt the metal basin.

However, the Turing roots on this metal basin were activated before the dissolving solution began to corrode the metal surface, and emitted a faint energy to cover the surface of the basin, allowing a transparent isolation layer between the dissolving solution and the metal surface.

Compared to the metal basin being protected by the wizard's secret technique, the monster remains introduced into the container were dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye after being soaked in the dissolving solution. While dissolving, Leo also accurately captured a faint trace of energy emitted, and did not dissipate immediately. Instead, he ran out like he had consciousness.

Leo naturally couldn't let go of this wisp of energy, and directly used the spiritual net to capture it, then took out a crystal-sharpened test tube, collected the energy, and stimulated the Turing roots inside the test tube. The crystal test tube also emitted a faint red light because of the entry of this wisp of energy.

Losing special energy as a support, the stone-shaped remains were quickly dissolved, and there was not even a single residue left.

Leo placed the extracted wisp of energy on a rack next to him that was specially inserted into the test tube, poured the dissolving solution back into the stone bucket and sealed it. Then he turned around and walked out of the laboratory. When he left, he stimulated the wizard magic circle at the entrance of the laboratory, forming an illusion of the stone wall, blocking the entrance.

This illusion is not just an illusion. The power that creates an illusion can imitate the texture of the surrounding rocks in a short period of time. Even if someone reaches out to touch it, he will feel that it is no different from the surrounding rocks, and it is truly seamless.

After protecting the entrance, Leo left the quarry pit, entered the city shrouded in darkness, and began his hunting activities.

Bruto was from Vilan State, the kingdom of the United States. He was a caravan in his early years. Later, he had to stay in Odorene for recuperation due to injury. During this life of recuperation, he met his current wife and fell in love with Odorene's relatively stable life. So he resigned from his position in the caravan and found a security job in a local gangster bar in Odorene.

Because he had lived in Odorene for several years, he was not unfamiliar with long nights, but he was different from others' fear of long nights. In his eyes, long nights were no different from normal nights, because he had never encountered anything strange in the few long nights he had experienced. The only strange experience was that one of his colleagues suddenly attacked another colleague with anger.

However, after the investigation of this incident, it seems that there is no direct relationship with Chang Yeqi, because the two colleagues already have deep hatred, and it will not be too surprising that they will attack each other.

It is precisely because of Bruto's attitude towards long nights that every time a long night occurs, some things that have to go out alone will be arranged by his boss to do. Of course, these things that others don't want to take over will not be in vain. He will give him a considerable errand fee every time. Therefore, for Bruto, every long night, it indicates that an extra income will be entered into his pocket.

After this long night period arrived, the situation was no exception. The bar security captain called Bruto directly into the office, then handed him a package, an address and a commission to Bruto, and let him leave.

Bruto knew very well that the things in the package were some contraband products that could not be circulated on the market. These contraband products can only be bought in the black market, and even in the black market, these contraband products cannot be sold blatantly. They can only contact interested buyers through other methods, and then negotiate the price and sell them.

In order to avoid trouble as much as possible, neither the buyer nor the seller will contact you directly, but will transport and receive goods through third-party channels. The owner of the bar where Bluto is located is a delivery agent, and the bar security under his command is his delivery man. However, unlike others, Bluto is a special contraband delivery man.

There were four special contraband deliverymen like him in the bar, but now he is the only one left. Two of the other three were accidentally involved in a battle when the monster sieges the city. As the result is conceivable, the other deliveryman was unfortunately encountered a trap set by the Lady's Church in the Lake. He committed suicide directly because he had no hope of escaping, because his suicide not only protected his family, but also received a considerable pension from the boss.

Now the only person who delivers special contraband is Bruto, so the bartender boss attaches great importance to him, and the rewards he gives are naturally very generous.

Bruto doesn't need to open a paper bag containing rewards to estimate how much money it is. This money is not the currency of governments, but the exchange coupons for the black market. For ordinary people, they don't know where the black market is, and they can't use it if they have exchange coupons. Only people like Bruto can find the black market and use the exchange coupons to exchange it with various best-selling shops on the market, or the intimate grain, alcohol, etc.

Although in Bruto's view, this income is equivalent to being profitable. As long as he does not go to the churches or temples of various churches, these contraband will not cause him any trouble, but he is not a arrogant and reckless person, so before he set off, he still put all the equipment he should have on him according to the rules.

For example, waist lamps, firearms equipped with special bullets, various potions used to deal with emergencies, etc. After repeated inspections, no misses were left, he put on his long windbreaker that he had been wearing when he was escorting the caravan. From a small passage dug out from the bottom of the bar, he came to an idle apartment not far away, looked at the dark street outside, then identified the direction, covered the hood behind the windbreaker and walked into the dark street.

Although it was just a long night, most people in the city already knew when the long night would arrive, so they either went home early or stayed at work with their colleagues. Except for the light-lit people hired by the government, no one else was walking on the road. If the buildings on both sides of the road had not lit braziers or fireplaces, they would have suddenly seen such an empty dark street that would have mistook this place for a dead city.

As usual, Bruto walked along the edge of the lights of the lampposts on the street, which made him less conspicuous with the waist lamp hanging on his body, and also made it easier for him to use the light to see the surrounding roads.

Although Bruto has never encountered anything unusual in the past, and he will not encounter the so-called mysterious power that makes his emotions lose control without taking the potion that calms his emotions. However, he has heard stories about long nights countless times in the past, so when walking in such an environment, he will naturally feel a little inexplicably afraid. His body is always tense because of fear, and his hands are always placed on the weapon on his body, and he can launch a counterattack at any time when an attack occurs.

After seeing Bruto dressed up like this, the light-lit people on the road knew what this kind of person was. They didn't get up because of curiosity, but avoided him far away before Bruto came over, as if he was avoiding the plague.

Bruto's pace was very fast. In less than twenty minutes, he had already passed through the civilian city in the north of the city and entered the commercial area in the northeast. The junction of the recipient this time was the small clock tower in the commercial area.

Not long after entering the commercial area, Bruto felt the ground suddenly vibrating, and screams were accompanied by the surrounding buildings. Fortunately, the vibration subsided quickly, and the screams disappeared from the city. Everything seemed to have returned to a bottleneck, but Bruto felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness.

Then, he heard a burst of rapid footsteps from afar, and felt that many people were running towards this side. For this reason, he immediately hid in a dark alley beside him and covered the firelight of the waist lamp with his clothes so that he would not be exposed to his whereabouts due to the firelight later.

Not long after, a figure with extremely twisted and deformed body passed through the street ahead at an extremely fast speed, and then four or five people from the Lord of the Sky came to chase after him.

Although Bruto didn't see clearly what the figure looked like, he had experienced a lot of battles and saw various corpses, but he knew very well that a person's body was twisted like a hemp rope and it was absolutely impossible for him to be alive, so the figure who just passed by was definitely not a human.

When Bruto was serving as a caravan guard, he also saw many inhuman monsters. He had also seen monsters that were more distorted than this figure, and even went crazy for a while because of the mental pollution caused by the distorted monsters. Therefore, he had long had a certain psychological tolerance for this monster. Even if this was the first time he saw this strange phenomenon in the long night, he could still stabilize his emotions and calm himself down.

While waiting for the footsteps to disappear at the end of the street, Bruto was about to set off again and hand over the goods on him as soon as possible, because the scene that just happened made him feel that his good luck might end in this long night.

However, just as he took a few steps and was about to walk out of the dark alley and come to the street, he suddenly stopped and his body instantly became extremely stiff, as if it had been petrified, and sweat drips also emerged from his forehead little by little, flowing down the wrinkles on his face.

Bruto was not really imprisoned by some kind of force, and the reason why he suddenly fell into this stiff state was because he felt an extremely dangerous existence behind him staring at him, and his intuition told him that as long as he took a step forward, the unknown dangerous existence behind him would attack him.

Although his hands were placed on the weapon at this moment, and it was very likely that he could attack the mysterious existence behind him with just one turn and pulling the trigger, he did not dare to make any moves. He could only slow down his breathing as much as possible and restore his calmness from panic and fear, because only by calming down can he have the chance to think of a way to escape from the predicament.

However, the unknown existence behind Bruto seemed not to be ready to give him a chance, and only a sound similar to the breaking of wood came from behind. Then Bruto felt a pain in his back, and then a transparent spike emerged from his chest, and some flesh and blood were still hanging on the barbs on the spikes.
