Chapter 77: Redstone (5)
A beautiful floating island in Space City, inside a manor.
The bedrooms are covered with white stone slabs, slender columns glow in the sunlight, and a soft glow is reflected in the palatial top floor. Above, there is a small verandah supported by delicate stone pillars and bowed structures, and a patchwork of flowers and trees that cannot be named.
To the northwest, away from the window, is a mechanical bed shaped like a metal coffin tilted from west to east.
Dandy's body was embedded in a half-enclosed mechanical bed like a sculpture, and the wide helmet wrapped around his head, obscuring his eyes. Hoses were attached to the helmet and injected with a reddish liquid. The face under the helmet twisted violently, and the breathing turned into intermittent moans under the constant trembling, as if it was being tortured.
A large amount of black blood flowed down the slope of the bed, gushing out of the white hose at the bottom, forming a slowly spreading pool of foul-smelling blood on the floor.
The man's lanky, shriveled body twitched like madness, barely being caught by the mechanical arm, shaking the mechanical bed from side to side. The chest that was thumping up and down was constantly trembling, and the saliva that was flowing down the river was shining with a layer of oily luster, and the major arteries in both legs pierced into two hoses, continuously pumping black blood.
"Mr. Dandy!, can you hear me!?"
"Tachycardia, inject a cardiotonic quickly!"
"Biochemical cells are overkill, and there is a danger of muscle failure!"
The medical staff of the reduction number were busy around the bed, all of them sweating nervously, as if they were performing an operation with a very low success rate.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Dandy suddenly began to cough violently, and her restrained calves straightened, her toes tightened and loosened, and even the very ends of her body could not resist the onslaught of pain. The body in white pajamas bulged and calmed out with the rhythm of the machine, as if the flesh under the skin was parasitic with aliens, which could tear the skin and break out of the cocoon at any time.
"No, Mr. Dandy probably won't be able to survive this radiotherapy. β
The attending physician looked at the mechanical bed nervously, took the towel handed by the nurse, wiped his face, and gritted his teeth fiercely:
"Prepare redstone!"
"But we haven't had time for clinical trials yet!" the assistant reminded in a loud voice.
"It's too late!"
Ignoring his words, the attending physician walked briskly over to the sink by the wall, and manipulated the mechanical pliers to remove a scarlet, shiny stone from it, and put it into the radiator above the mechanical bed.
ε²ββ!
The light at the bottom of the emitter slowly lit up, and soon a golden light was emitted, and in an instant, the whole room was dazzling and could not be seen directly. The golden lines were projected on Dandy's body, as if they were chaotic wavy lines, densely spread all over his body, shaking irregularly and at high frequency.
β......β
Under the illumination of the light, Danny's breathing was much calmer, and the strange body that expanded and contracted gradually returned to quiet. The blood gushing from the bottom of the bed was now a fresh red.
One by one, one by one
At the end of the treatment, Dandy rolled out the mechanical bed and changed his clothes with the help of two beauty nurses.
If a stranger is present at this time, he must not help but scream, because this man's body is too disgusting.
He was nearly 1.8 meters tall, but he didn't have much muscle on his body, like a shriveled hungry corpse. The arms on the left and on the right are of different sizes, as if they come from two different corpses. The nerves of the left eyeball were necrotic at this time, filling the iris with blood, staining the eyes dark red, like zombies crawling out of a grave, and there was no palm-sized intact skin below the chest, and the whole body was covered with dense sarcomas, like swollen blisters after a burn.
After changing his clothes, he sat down in the chair that the nurses had brought and raised his arm to look at his watch:
"Let them in. β
At the man's command, the metal door of the room slid open sideways, and two young men, a man and a woman, enteredβthe mysterious people who had appeared in the Old City that day in a black flying machine.
"Shadowclaw has failed, twice in a row, and Sheriff John is now very passive. The man said in a deep voice.
"The strength of those six people is extraordinary, and they have the ability to make the situation even bigger, do you want to consider canceling the operation?" the woman asked with some hesitation.
"No...... No way...... Absolutely not!"
Dandy's gloomy face flushed with a sickly flush, and he clenched the deputy hand of the seat with both hands, twisting and deforming the metal armrest:
"Redstone is a treasure I hired someone to steal from the Hanging City, and it's so quiet because the dragons haven't noticed it...... I can't afford to take the slightest risk on this matter, and anyone who has seen redstone will die!"
"We're not sure if they've seen redstone ......," the woman argued, looking down.
"Can you promise they haven't met!?" Dandy asked in a roaring voice.
"......" The woman stopped talking, lowered her head and began to remain silent.
"Shadowpaw, that shit can't be trusted. β
Dandy took the cold towel handed by the nurse, gently applied it to his face, and after a few minutes of silence, suddenly raised the tone of his voice:
"This matter can't be delayed any longer, while I still have control of the police department...... You two go in person, whether it's the golden blood or the so-called big stars, you must keep your mouth shut forever until the dragons notice it!"
"Yes. β
"Yes!"
The young men and women took the order, bowed, and then exited the room at the same time.
One by one, one by one
Formerly known as the Essence of Eizhe, Redstone is the treasure of the Hanging City Dragons as a store of life energy, with the ability to restore life to the dying. Dandy hires someone to steal redstone to heal his illness, but he steals it halfway through, and eventually finds it.
The Hanging City is the gateway to Trobot, the same status as the Space City of the Guardian Home Star, and if the local dragonmen find out that the treasure is stolen, it will definitely alarm the dragon king. At that time, I am afraid that this matter will be able to pierce the sky, and under the overwhelming publicity, it will be easy for people who have seen Redstone to provide clues.
Because of this, Dandy, who is a thief, desperately wants to wipe out everyone who has seen redstone in order to save his life. But he probably never believed it - Evan and the others were so busy dealing with the trials of the invisible space that they were afraid of trouble, so they hadn't seen redstone at all.
One by one, one by one
Twilight Casino, VIP Lounge.
After eating dinner, Evan returned to his room, pushed the door and vaguely felt that something was wrong, and soon found that there was an extra sketch paper on the easel. He walked over and picked up the sketch paper, on which was written a line of words - Madison Bruce, identity code 87658691.
"Is this a compromise? Should I believe it?" he squinted his eyes warily, as he studied the contents of the sketch paper.
After careful consideration for a while, Evan told his teammates in the group about this, and soon everyone who received the news crowded into the room and came forward to observe the words on the sketch paper.
"Compromise so quickly, these killers are too cowardly, aren't they?" the seal couldn't believe it.
"Killers, neither fanatics nor warriors, a bunch of trash who work for money have no dignity. They feel that they have been deceived, and of course they will retaliate, is it strange to cooperate with us?" the knight thought it was not surprising, after all, the white bear had already communicated with them before.
"It doesn't matter if it's or not, there must be some urgent reason why the mastermind behind the scenes is so eager to get rid of us. The white bear behaved very calmly, and spread his hands very indifferently:
"Time is on our side, just be patient. β
"I have an idea!"
Erica rolled her eyes, then raised a thin eyebrow, and said excitedly, "That guy is desperate to get rid of people who have seen redstone...... He must be trying to hide the redstone from him, and in that case, we can publish a newspaper stating that the redstone may be in the hands of this Madison!"
"That's a way to ......"
The Eye Demon nodded slightly, then shook his head vigorously:
"The problem is, we haven't seen redstone before! and there are so many redstone things that maybe it's just a code name. I don't know the true face of this thing, how can I use it to force out the mastermind behind it!?"
"This is the biggest headache, we haven't seen redstone, but the people behind it seem to think we've seen redstone. Evan sighed, sat down in front of the easel helplessly, and soon seemed to remember something, and suddenly stood up again:
"In that case, we're pretending to have seen redstone!"
"That's right!"
The white bear's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help nodding vigorously:
"Since the killer organization has handed over a name, if we don't test it, it really can't be justified!"
One by one, one by one
Evan dialed the number on the sketch paper, waited patiently for a few minutes, and found that no one answered, so he sneered and sent a message:
"Your identity has been revealed, stop making small moves in private. And transfer 100,000,000,000 federal dollars to each of us, or we'll post the information about redstone online!"
"The asking price is so high!?" said the seal, but he couldn't help but lick his lips, revealing a rather heartwarming expression.
"Yes, that's it! Hit him hard!" Erica whispered a clapping of applause.
He ...... Will he turn?" the knight was skeptical.
didn't let everyone wait too long, and a message quickly came from there:
"What is redstone? Who are you? Anyway, I'm not going to grant you shameless blackmail. If I send any more harassing messages, I'll call the police. β
After Evan saw this message, he glanced at the white bear, and then sent another one:
"I don't know what redstone is or where it comes from, but I've seen it and can draw it. Give me the money now, or everyone in Space City will know that redstone is in your hands tomorrow!"
This time, there was silence for a long time, and everyone waited for five minutes, and just when they were about to lose patience, they finally replied with a message:
"So, tell me what it looks like, or draw me a picture. β
"It's over...... exposed. The seal covered his eyes in disarray.
"Are you stupid?"
Erica couldn't help but step forward and break his hand covering his eyes: "It's obvious that he was exposed!"
