The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo didn't leave the lake immediately, but sat quietly on the spot for a while, and after repeatedly confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he stood up and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, there were some noisy voices in the distance, and then I saw a few tall people pushing against the flow of people, pushing and shoving hard to open a path, and rushed towards the lakeside quickly. Among these few people, Jason was also impressively listed.

When the group passed by Leo, Jason also saw Leo, showing a little surprise, because in his opinion, Leo probably didn't like this lively environment.

Just when he was about to greet Leo, Leo shook his head, stopped his behavior, and then pointed to the other people who ran past him just now.

Seeing Leo's gesture, Jason also understood what he meant, nodded, and quickly followed.

The appearance of the special bureau stopped Leo from leaving. He walked to the side of the road and leaned against a tree. At the same time, he used the mental net to envelop the people in the special bureau and perceive their every move.

After the people from the special bureau came to the lake, a thin man took out a mechanical device inlaid with special crystals from the backpack behind him, and then pulled out a few antenna-like antennas from the device. Things, holding the device with one hand, and quickly turning the handle on the side of the machine with the other hand.

With the rotation of the handle, the two friction objects in the machine rubbed quickly, and weak currents were generated from them, and along with the other devices of the machine, they were amplified and transferred to other objects, such as the crystal.

Under the stimulation of the weak current, the crystal immediately emits bursts of gray light, which would be difficult to see clearly during the day, but this is at night, and it is in a dark forest, and the surrounding environment makes this faint light The light became particularly eye-catching, and the men and women around the lake were also attracted by this scene, and they all looked over here.

Then I saw that the color in the center of the gray crystal began to change, with some more green and blue. The people around thought it was some kind of performance, and applauded one after another, embarrassing the people in the special bureau.

As a bystander, Leo is very clear about the reason for the color change at the core of the gray crystal, because the crystal that has been stimulated to process has been rapidly collecting the remaining power of the lady in the surrounding lake from just now.

"Energy-absorbing crystal?" After seeing this scene, Leo couldn't help but let out a soft cry in his heart, and stared at the crystal for a long time with slightly fiery eyes, and finally withdrew his gaze and landed on the people in the special bureau .

Energy-absorbing crystals are a specialty of Star Bobo. This planet is a planet whose surface is completely composed of liquid strong acid. There is no sign of life. It is a pure resource star. can crystal.

This kind of energy-absorbing crystal has a wide range of functions. From the energy-suppressing device used for firearms, to the space station, which is like a protective wall for various cosmic rays, energy-absorbing crystals are needed, but this kind of crystal is the largest and most numerous. Its purpose is to make a safety device for the subspace engine. It can import the excess energy emitted by the engine into the energy pool when the engine increases its power, and recover part of the energy to avoid energy waste and destructive energy impact caused by engine overload. .

Although this energy-absorbing crystal is very effective, it is only produced in Bobo Star, and there is no such energy-absorbing crystal in other places in the universe, so when Leo recognized the energy-absorbing crystal, what he thought of in his mind was the Kingdom of England On hand is the wreckage of a warp spaceship from which this energy-absorbing crystal was obtained.

"It's that one." Just as Leo was thinking about something, the person who operated the machine said to the people around him immediately after seeing the change of the crystal.

"Why does that guy appear here at this time?" A person in the special bureau who looked like the leader asked to himself with a puzzled expression.

"I don't know!" The others shook their heads. As for Jason, he looked even more bewildered. He probably didn't even know the people from the Special Bureau, so why did he call him here?

The person holding the machine took the machine back into the package, then looked around, and said, "This is not a place to talk, we will go and talk first."

"Alright." The leader nodded, and then told other subordinates around him, "Stay here and check to see if there are any abnormalities. If so, contact the branch immediately." Then he said to Jason alone : "Jason, originally you didn't need to participate in this mission, but because something happened in Lin County, the branch dispatched a lot of people to support it, making it short of manpower, so I had to find you."

"It's okay, I also want to get familiar with the work of the Special Bureau as soon as possible." Jason nodded and said with a silly smile.

"Wait a minute, you and..." The leader of the special bureau seemed satisfied with Jason's answer, and was about to assign Jason to other team members.

"Can I act alone later?" Jason suddenly interrupted the boss of the Special Bureau, asked, and explained: "I have always been used to acting alone, and I feel uncomfortable when I have someone by my side. "

The leader of the special bureau frowned, and the little favor he had for Jason just now disappeared, and he was once again dissatisfied with Jason, who joined halfway and was not specially trained by the special bureau, but he didn't show his emotions Come out, but nodded with a smile, and agreed: "Alright, let you join other team members rashly. On the contrary, it will affect other people's performance because of lack of cooperation experience." He paused again, very serious He said: "You can act alone, but you must pay attention to safety. If you find any abnormal situation, don't act alone. Find other team members to act together, understand?"

"Understood, boss." Jason replied with a smile, but he didn't seem to take these words seriously.

The leader of the special bureau also knew that Jason didn't take his words seriously, but he didn't continue to remind him. In his opinion, he had already reminded him that if Jason wanted to die by himself, he couldn't be blamed afterwards, so he again After instructing several other subordinates around him to take precautions, he and the thin subordinate quickly left the lakeside.

After the leader left, the other members of the Special Bureau immediately dispersed according to their own teams. No one paid attention to Jason, and no one took the initiative to tell Jason what to do and what not to do, as if Jason was regarded as a It's like a transparent person.

Jason didn't care about this situation, he waited for the others to leave, and walked quickly towards Leo.

"It seems that your situation in the special bureau is not very good?" Leo, who witnessed the scene just now, said to Jason with a smile.

"Hey!" Jason smiled habitually, and then explained: "This can't be a monster. They always provoke me for nothing. I endured it a few times, but finally I couldn't hold it back. I just went to the training ground of the branch. The boss cleaned them up together," and then said rather embarrassedly: "But maybe some of them used too much force, and there are still a few guys who are still on vacation."

Leo smiled, didn't say anything, and asked instead: "Why are you here?"

"I was called halfway, so I don't know what's going on." Jason also shook his head in a daze, then recalled carefully, and said, "However, I remember what they said on the way that the machine detected some power here. And so on, so they came here to check the situation because of accidents."

"Has the machine detected the power?" Leo is almost sure that the power fluctuations discovered by the special bureau probably came from the lady in the lake. Although the lady in the lake has restrained most of her power, she is an Omega-level advanced life after all. The body, even if it appears in a mental state, will still produce extraordinary power fluctuations, and it will still exist for a long time after he leaves.

However, what interested Leo was the machine that the Special Bureau detected the extraordinary power. According to Jason, the Special Bureau obviously had a machine with a detection range that could cover the entire Port of Scitech. The machine seems to be able to detect only strong force fluctuations, but not relatively weak force fluctuations.

If it is in the Earth Federation, although such a machine that senses psychic fluctuations is rare, it is not uncommon. Most cities will have such a machine, and its coverage and sensitivity far exceed that of the Scitech Port Special Bureau Branch. But the problem is that this is the Vinylon world, which has just launched the steam civilization for only a hundred years. It is a bit strange that such a backward world has such a machine.

Reminiscent of the energy-absorbing crystal he saw just now, Leo couldn't help guessing that the Kingdom of England might have obtained a relatively intact spaceship, because the psychic sensing device is a must-have device for the spaceship, which is to prevent people with the ability to hide Psyker enemies sneak into the interior of the spaceship to wreak havoc.

"Leo, you were here just now, do you know what happened?" Jason asked Leo with some doubts.

"If I'm not mistaken, this matter should have something to do with me." Leo nodded, admitted Jason's guess, and said bluntly, "I just met with the lady in the lake and talked A few words."

Jason was stunned after hearing this, then burst out laughing, patted Leo on the shoulder, and said, "Leo, I've known you for so long, yet I didn't know you could tell jokes, this joke is so funny, I met with Ms. Huzhong and talked a little bit, why didn't you say that you went to the Immortal Palace and was adopted by the lady?"

Leo didn't laugh with Jason, but looked at Jason calmly.

Seeing Leo's expression, Jason's laughter gradually weakened, and then disappeared completely, and he confirmed with a little disbelief: "You were not joking just now, you were telling the truth."

Leo didn't respond, but just nodded.

Jason was completely stunned, he looked at Leo as if he was looking at a stranger, his mouth opened and he didn't know what to say. Although he knew that Leo had become unusual when he was in Fran, he didn't feel that Leo had changed too much. In his impression, Leo was still the comrade who shared weal and woe.

But now he found that Leo was completely beyond his cognition, and even had face-to-face contact with the gods, and even talked with them. This was simply the reappearance of those ancient legends.

If it was other gods, Jason might not have such a big reaction, but Jason is from aboriginal transformed people, and their customs will find a family guardian god for their families, and believe in this god for life, and Jason The patron saint of the home is the Lady of the Lake.

My comrades-in-arms and friends suddenly told me to have a face-to-face conversation with the patron saint he believed in all his life. Anyone who heard this news was a little hard to accept for a while, and even felt absurd.

After a while, Jason recovered from his shock and confirmed again: "What you said is true?"

"Yes." Leo replied affirmatively.

Jason took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions. He felt that he had many questions to ask, but he didn't know where to start. Finally, he randomly found a question in his heart that had troubled him for many years, and asked, "What does He look like?" Is it the same? Same perfect?"

"Yes, he is a very perfect...you can say she is a woman!" Leo did not give a definite answer, because according to biology, the lady in the lake is not a person at all, she is another kind of creature , but now he appears in front of people with the appearance of a human female, which means that he recognizes this human appearance very much, and it is not difficult to create a human body according to his ability, so the lady in the lake I saw just now may not be Humanity.

"You are such a lucky guy!" Jason looked at Leo enviously.

"Lucky? Maybe!" Leo responded with some ambiguity. Although the lady in the lake did not perform first, and she took the initiative to complete the imprint of the gods in her body, judging from the lady's reaction However, his physical state has a special meaning for these Omega-level advanced life forms. Before he understands the true state of his body, he cannot be sure that it is good for these gods to leave their imprints in his body. , or bad.

Jason obviously didn't see Leo's mood, and asked a few more questions about the lady in the lake. Leo also answered these questions patiently. When Jason was about to ask new questions, he raised his hand to stop Jie. Sen asked further, and then asked, "Have you had any difficult things on hand recently?"

Seeing Leo suddenly change the subject, Jason was stunned for a moment, but he didn't think much about it. Instead, he thought about it seriously and said, "I do have a troublesome thing right now."

"Let's listen to it." Leo gestured.

Jason said: "There is an old cargo hold in the dock area. There is a piece of cargo in that cargo hold, but it has not been processed."

Leo waited for Jason to continue, but Jason stopped just like that, which made him puzzled and asked, "Is this the way it is?"

"Yes, that's it." Jason didn't seem to know how to explain, frowned for a long time, and finally said: "You'd better go and see for yourself, I don't know how to say it."
