Chapter 17: The Dark Knight, Konstantin

Ren "triggers the 'Bloody Asylum' task, only 15% of the essentia energy remains, does it consume 5% of the energy reserves?10~25 points of mental power will be gained according to the completion of the task. ”

"Yes. ”

Looking at the bloody slaughterhouse in front of him, which was almost overflowing with a substantial demonic meaning, the middle-aged man who combed his hair back to reveal his forehead couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.

"Brett, you go in that direction, Kidman, you go in that direction, be careful, if you encounter any situation, immediately fire a warning shot, and ............ No, why would I tell you to split up in this situation?" Zhu Peng reacted suddenly, but Brett and Kidman were already holding guns and stayed away with an abnormal obedience. It seems that they themselves have suddenly developed a strong desire to walk alone.

After chasing for two steps and finding that there was no trace, Zhu Peng turned around and looked at the scene, and slowly saw the problem from the direction of the corpse and the smearing of plasma.

(...... Normally, in this case, a murderer with extremely agile skills wanders around the madhouse, and it is reasonable for everyone to be together, but under the mental suggestion of the scene, each of us has a subconscious desire to walk alone. )

Psychic suggestion, in short, means that the caster does not force the recipient, but the caster takes advantage of the human weakness of the recipient by setting a factor to make the recipient take the initiative to do what the caster wants the recipient to do.

This is a very terrible witchcraft, but because it requires special talent, Zhu Peng also came into contact with it when he was a spy, but he didn't study it deeply, so now he is only half a beat slower to react.

(It's not just that he's agile and ruthless, but he's also a guy with a fairly high IQ who is proficient in psychology, very good, I didn't expect to meet such an interesting opponent just after I came in.) Pulled out a revolver, "bang" and fired two shots into the air.

Zhu Peng plans to recruit Brett and Kidman back, which can be regarded as another way to break the mental hint that he just hit, the most terrifying thing about this kind of method is that it is invisible, if it can't be found all the time, then it is really infinitely harmful.

However, after waiting for a while, Zhu Peng never waited for Brett and Kidman.

"Damn, it's not going to be killed so soon. Thinking like this, Zhu Peng ran quickly to a room in a listed security room on the second floor with a gun, and in the process he reloaded the revolver.

Entering the security room, there are no living people in the room, the technological level of this world is inferior to that of the earth, but monitoring equipment has been developed, pushing away the corpse of the security guard who was cut off on the seat, Zhu Peng stood there and began to control the machinery.

This time, Zhu Peng's soul and memory were not lost, and for Zhu Peng, who had the spiritual wisdom of a legendary great wizard, even if he had not operated it, it was very easy to figure out the monitoring equipment in this world.

After pressing the button to adjust the lever, a rustling snowflake flickered, but the next picture made Zhu Peng stunned, only to see several men in security uniforms in the picture, shooting at a man wearing a hood, but in the blurred picture, the man's figure flickered, flashing like a teleportation next to several security personnel, wielding a knife to hack them to death one by one...... After killing everyone at the scene, the hooded man suddenly looked in the direction of the camera probe like a living induction, his eyes showed a fierce light, and his figure disappeared in an instant!

(What the hell!?)

Zhu Peng turned back suddenly, his right arm blocked the long dagger stabbed by the hooded man's backhand as if he knew it, and the elbow exchange encountered huge pressure, and the bone of his right arm was almost cracked, and at the same time, he also saw the murderer's clear appearance: it was a hairless cheek with skin and flesh that seemed to be rotting, but the eyes were flashing, but they were fierce and abnormal.

The next moment, the hooded man's left arm hit Zhu Peng's chest and abdomen from the bottom up, Zhu Peng successfully blocked, but failed to block, the opponent's strength was so great that Zhu Peng had the illusion that he was hit head-on by a high-speed speeding truck.

His whole body flew up, hitting the glass window behind him hard, the glass window cracked and then shattered, and in the scattered debris, Zhu Peng fell from the guard room on the second floor.

Bang, lying between the broken glass, staring at the hooded man who walked to the windowsill, his vision gradually blurred uncontrollably.

............ The cost of spy failure is heavy, the spy who returns (dies) abnormally will suffer huge mental trauma, and every year among the spy wizards, there are those who have completely fallen into madness, and these people are even in the wizarding world as social elites, and the cumulative losses are not uncatastrophic............

When Zhu Peng saw the world clearly again with a blurred vision, he found himself hanging upside down in the slaughterhouse like a pig, except that this slaughterhouse killed not pigs, but people.

A strong, tall, bald man in a slaughter suit was sorting out the fat and thin, his leather coat was full of all kinds of knives, and after selecting a corpse, the bald butcher carried him to his "workbench", where he cleaned the corpse and then divided the body, it can be seen that he loves his work very much.

The bald butcher walked past Zhu Peng, and then there was an extra sharp knife in the man's hand, which was also one of the reasons why Zhu Peng knew that the other party loved his work, and any knife on his body was much, much faster than Constantine's own main weapon, the Silver Blade.

While the butcher was concentrating on his work, Zhu Peng silently cut the ropes on his wrists and ankles with a knife, pulled the steel rod with both hands and landed silently, staring at the unusually strong bald butcher among the upside-down corpses for a moment, and then he chose to move towards the door of the room one by one.

(The body is full of evil energy, and it has begun to demonize and is no longer in the category of normal humans, even if it is pierced by a sharp weapon for a while, it may not be dead, and in my current state, even if it is a sneak attack with mental calculation or unintentional, it may not be able to win.) What's more, that rotten man with a hood doesn't know where to go, if he reappears, even if I play all the essenta energy at any cost, I may not be able to win. )

The appearance of a legendary boss in a fantasy technology world of about the third order is simply uncontrollable and rampant.

Although there was no key, Zhu Peng picked the lock of the door with the knife in his hand, and a gramophone was working throughout the slaughterhouse, playing a "Hymn to the Templar".

The majestic and sacred choral poems set against the backdrop of the slaughterhouse, which is littered with human corpses, imbue the environment with a sense of depravity, horror, and intense irony.

Zhu Peng's injury was not light, it was originally all empty, but now it is all injured, plus he was careful not to make any sound, so the speed was not fast, when he pushed open the door and walked on the hollow iron bridge, the bald butcher who was cutting the naked corpse with a chainsaw inadvertently looked up and saw him.

"Uh, you're busy with yours, you don't have to send it. With that, Zhu Peng spread his legs and strode out, while the bald butcher roared and chased upstairs with a chainsaw covered with dark red plasma, his speed not matching his size.

Zhu Peng connected and locked the two doors, thinking that he could block the other party slightly, but the iron door was directly lifted away by the other party with an exaggerated strange force, if it is converted to the wizard world, the physique and strength of the second-order warrior are more than enough.

Because of the ineffectiveness of the two iron doors, Zhu Peng was caught up when the bald butcher broke through the second iron door, and threw the knife in his hand into the opponent's eyes in reverse, and at the same time slammed into the opponent's lower body with one knee, but the bald butcher's response completely exceeded Zhu Peng's expectations, or even if he saw through all the cards in the opponent's hand, with Zhu Peng's current small cards, it was difficult to play any subtlety.

The bald butcher didn't dodge the flying knife at all, he directly knocked Zhu Peng's whole person upside down with a movement similar to Tie Shan's leaning, and smashed it to the ground.

(If you can't hold it anymore, use five percent of your essentia energy to solve him.) On the left hand, there is a blood killing technique like an electric current of crimson energy faintly fluctuating, if at this time Konstantin's physique, the energy of the legendary blood killing technique will directly roast his flesh, but if you use essentia energy as the medium, it will be fine. With just one blow, Zhu Peng was confident that he could directly kill the big bald head opposite.

However, the bald butcher did not directly kill Zhu Peng with a chainsaw, but instead reached out and pressed the red button on the side, and the iron bar door above the passage suddenly fell to the ground, and at the same time, there were two huge rotating knife wheels on both sides of the passage tumbling and slashing towards the middle, and it would not take twenty seconds to directly strangle Zhu Peng into a piece of bloody mud.

Standing up and looking at the other party's cat-and-mouse playful cruel eyes, Zhu Peng squinted his eyes slightly, but instead dispersed the fighting spirit of his left hand that had just condensed and had not yet been activated, sank his waist and exerted his strength, and stepped back and forth on the iron plate ground with his feet.

Seeing the performance of the prey like this, the bald butcher who had been waiting for a good show suddenly became extremely irritable, and when the knife wheels on both sides were still a long distance away, Zhu Peng really found a gap in the ground, and after lifting the iron plate, he waved his hand at the butcher behind him, and then jumped directly.

People who have fallen into darkness are often distorted and paranoid, like a game like cat and mouse, they must give the mouse a glimmer of life, and the complete desperate situation of killing, winning, and dying makes the game lose its interest, and for a spy like Zhu Peng, this kind of psychology course belongs to Mrs. Nagwell's must-talk and must-test content, just like the formula theorem of hooking three strands, four strings and five.

Poof, all the way down the iron slide, crashing through countless stumps and broken arms in the process, and finally falling into a thick, sticky bloody mud.

"Poof, poof, phew. This is an underground tunnel, right? It's like a dungeon, and if it were blocked like China, this kind of place would have been discovered a long time ago. "The bald butcher's slaughterhouse, hidden under the madhouse, has poured blood downwards, but the underground water system that flows into the entire city is as calm as a river flowing into the sea, and if it were in China in the 21st century, it would have been blocked 800 times, and it would have been reported by the masses 800 times.

Climbing up the ladder covered with rust and dust on the side, Zhu Peng certainly didn't feel that he was safe at this time, on the one hand, the game of cat and mouse must give the mouse some possibility of survival, in order to increase the fun and playability of the game, but the ultimate goal is still a game, it is a game that guarantees the foundation of victory, if you really let the mouse run away, of course it is a bad game.

Meanwhile, in the madhouse above the slaughterhouse, Killman and Brett are looking for Konstantin.

"Kidman, it's useless for you to be anxious at this time, not to mention that Konstantin is a famous witcher, and he will protect himself. ”

“...... What is famous, you let him gamble and draw a thousand cards, and it may be okay to deceive someone, I shouldn't have asked him to solve this task. Looking at the traces of the battle in the security room and the revolver that Konstantin had left behind, Kidman looked very remorseful.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of gunshots, and Kidman and Brett looked at each other, and then ran in the direction where the gunshots came from.

After turning around, they found a middle-aged man leaning against a large bell and covered in foul-smelling blood, who picked up a security guard's pistol and fired at the ceiling for interrogation.

"What's the matter, Chino, what's wrong with you, what's going on?" asked Kidman, who pounced on Constantine's side with Brett's somewhat ugly face.

"There's a demonized man down there, he did this case, hurry up and call your police officers to come over and bring heavy firepower. ”

A moment later, Zhu Peng, who took out a silver short knife covered with runes from the toolbox in the car, rushed into the underground slaughterhouse with a group of police officers and began to find the field.

This underground slaughterhouse is already a similar existence to the realm lair for the bald butcher who has fallen into semi-demonization, although he or it itself does not understand what is going on, but it can feel the weakness and exhaustion after leaving here, so without enough self-control and rationality, the half-demonized creature is extremely reluctant to leave its lair too far.

Sure enough, when the police officers began to scatter to search according to Brett's instructions, the bald butcher suddenly came out of the corner and directly cut three gun-wielding police officers obliquely with his brutal physique.

"I'm going to contain him, Kidman, you find a few police officers with the best marksmanship, remember the best marksmanship, assist me in attacking the other party, there are not enough sanctified weapons, there is grinding. Uncorked a holy water bottle, Zhu Peng poured water filled with pale golden brilliance on the rune silver knife in his hand.

This knife is Constantin Chino's most valuable main weapon, according to the five levels of fine, treasure, rare, legend, and epic, this priest silver knife is already a high-quality demon hunting weapon, but such a long and wide knife is somewhat inconvenient to carry, after all, this is not the Middle Ages at this time.

After saying that, the power of the silver knife was further strengthened with holy water, and Zhu Peng didn't wait for Kidman to respond, he had already pounced with a knife in his right hand and a gun in his left hand.

Whether a martial artist has a weapon in his hand, at least in front of a certain realm, it is a world of difference, and even in the cultivation realm of Li Jingxuan and Zhu Peng in the main world, if there is really a good weapon that is good enough to take advantage of, they will definitely not refuse, many times they have to be empty-handed, because there is really no weapon to match themselves, the higher the cultivation, the more they can't make up at will, otherwise I am afraid that it will reduce their combat power.

But in the world where the spy shadow descended, Konstantin's five internal losses were all empty, and the body that was damaged within the five was completely insufficient to give full play to Zhu Peng's melee combat strength, so whether there was a good weapon in his hand to rely on, the difference in combat effectiveness was too huge.

Facing the bald butcher, in the previous battle, the opponent relied on his strong demonic physique, Zhu Peng almost had no room for resistance, but at this moment, with a weapon with enough lethality in his hand, Zhu Peng's left gun and right knife suddenly killed the other party, his eyes were firmly fixed on the shoulders and eyes of the bald butcher, and his body was as if predicted, avoiding the slashing operation of the bald butcher.

The silver knife in his hand flashed brightly, and it didn't take long to cut the muscles and tissues of many parts of the bald butcher's body between advancing and retreating, the knife on his right hand was the main attack, but the firearm on his left hand was a defensive means, and the attack action of attacking and defending against the bald butcher was even hit with the blade of the chainsaw wielded by the bald butcher with great precision from time to time...... Konstantin's own marksmanship itself is quite good, and Zhu Peng has also been trained in the use of firearms for a long time when he was in the wizarding world, whether it is at the Iron Fist Academy or in the spy training base.

Under the superposition of the two phases, Zhu Peng's marksmanship has almost reached the realm of a conventional sharpshooter from now on, which is also the crazy hidden benefit of the spy wizard, the soul superposition paid by the wizarding world, the bridged of its own shortcomings, and almost no negative effect under the protection of essentia energy. And that's just one of the hidden spy benefits.

"This guy...... When did he become so skilled?" Kidman watched the heroic performance of the familiar and strange man, and became more and more curious about the changes in Konstantin, who in her memory preferred to solve problems with all kinds of tricks and cunning.

"Kidman, what are you thinking? Shoot?"

Brett's shouts interrupted Kidman's reverie, causing the flamboyant policewoman to snap down and concentrate on shooting.

In this battle, whether or not Zhu Pengding is in front is completely different, if there is no Zhu Pengding in the front, the bald butcher can even use the terrain advantage to slaughter all these police officers who invaded the underground slaughterhouse with his terrible physique and agility and speed that does not match his body. And Zhu Peng is like a maggot attached to the bone and also advances and retreats, the bald butcher can't retreat to hide his figure, and second, he can't advance to attack and kill the police.

After discovering that Konstantin Chino could indeed block it, the many police officers who were hiding in a relatively distant distance became more and more emboldened, and shot at the brutal strong monster, the bullet snapped into the flesh of the bald butcher, bursting out a puff of blood, although if you look at the data, a bullet will also lose a trace of blood, but it really can't stand the high frequency of attacks, and also suppress the bald butcher's movements.

Bang, bang, bang!

Three shots in his left hand shot the bullets into the bald butcher's brain, and the three bullets were connected end to end, and the three shots shot in succession hit the semi-demonic life with amazing vitality and also let out an earth-shattering roar, but at this moment, Zhu Peng's eyes lit up frighteningly in the darkness.

His figure jumped up, his footsteps stepped on one side of the wall, and he slashed down obliquely with a knife in his backhand, this type of knife move was as fierce as disemboweling, fierce and vicious, but the artistic conception of the knife technique was a heavenly river hanging upside down, Zhu Peng integrated the downward bombardment technique in the fist cannon hammer into the knife technique, so that the snow bright knife light flashed, fast, as if a lightning bolt suddenly appeared in the dark void!

Poof, Zhu Peng's body fell to the ground, and there was still a little residual blood on the priest's silver knife held upside down in his hand, and he gently blew the blood down.

(The strength is too weak, the knife speed is too slow, and the knife leaves residual blood when killing people, but fortunately, no one in this spy world knows me, otherwise I have to consider killing people to save my reputation.) The moment Zhu Peng's knife light slashed out, it was so dazzling and amazing that after he and the bald butcher staggered, none of those police officers fired a single shot. Of course, the bald butcher's figure was also completely frozen, and when Zhu Peng walked by him, his tall body fell to the ground with a bang, and then the huge head grunted and rolled away.

"The 'Bloody Asylum' quest has been completed, with a completion rate of 98%, and 22 points of spiritual power have been obtained, and they are continuing to strengthen. A cold breath spread from the center of his mind, with this spiritual power coupled with Konstantin's original spiritual power level, it would not be difficult for Zhu Peng to rush to a senior apprentice level in a short period of time, and the means that could be used at that time were much richer, Zhu Peng was not really a senior apprentice after all, and the background and accumulation of spy shadows were not comparable with ordinary wizard apprentices.

The average wizard apprentice is only the bottom of the caster world, and the mid-level and high-level wizard apprentices who have been transformed into spy shadows, in addition to being slightly weaker in survivability and unable to carry it hard, can already think about how to kill first- and second-order wizards, especially when the opponent is an alien caster who does not have a natural defense field. Ectopic casters who do not have a natural defense field are fragile and have a relatively low tolerance for error.

............ Clean up the battlefield and count the gains............

The underground slaughterhouse of the madhouse was terrifying and bloody, silent and crazy, and when many detectives and police officers opened the "workshop" of the bald butcher, looking at the rows of upside-down corpses, many people vomited directly. In fact, Zhu Peng felt that if the bald butcher chose the decisive battle here, at least he could kill more people, of course, maybe in the eyes of the bald butcher, his workplace was like a religious church, and ordinary people could not be defiled and desecrated.

The police officers take pictures, sort out the corpses, search the murder weapon, and swear about the perversion of the madman, but for the witcher, the behavior of the demonic creature is actually purposeful and regular, and the bald butcher is doing something terrible here, but there must be a hidden reason for it to do so.

Because of his special identity and great merit in solving this case, since some reporters from major newspapers have already been let in, of course, no police officer like Konstantin Chino will choose to expel him, so Zhu Peng walked with his hands in his pockets and seemed to be wandering and aimless.

Coming to a hidden place in the slaughterhouse, the golden light in Zhu Peng's eyes flashed, and he even did not hesitate to use a little essenta energy, and sure enough, he found the hidden mechanism in the room. Glancing around, seeing that no one seemed to notice him, Zhu Peng quickly opened the mechanism and pulled out a dozen thick and neatly folded skins from it.

These skins are very bizarre, covered with scales, Zhu Peng directly touched with the palm of his hand, and heard a desperate cry in his ears, and a scene of men, women and children being killed appeared in front of his eyes, this is the fruit of the bald butcher's crazy killing - when Zhu Peng was learning identification from Kidd back then, he heard of but had never seen the evil creation: the magic skin.

The impact of the death illusion of others on people like Zhu Peng is quite limited, he quickly cleared the negative state, and hid this big dozen demon skins in his windbreaker, and put it in a bag that had been prepared a long time ago, if it was discovered by the police, this kind of thing would definitely not fall into his hands, but in the hands of the police, it was not only worthless, but also caused trouble.

Although the name is "Magic Skin" But in fact, it is a kind of human sacrifice creation of primitive black magic (witchcraft), the killed person died in extreme pain and evil environment, and its whole person has been approaching demonized creatures in a near-death state, and the bald butcher kills and peels off their skin at the apex of the prey's pain, and after nitrating through special materials, the leather is already close to that between humans and monsters, and naturally contains quite powerful natural magic, if the means are cruel enough, and the heart is ruthless enough, the dark wizard can create a powerful legendary level equipment through massacre in this way。

"Hey, what are you doing?"

When Zhu Peng was thinking about his memories and stuffing the magic skin into the bag, a voice suddenly sounded, and he looked sideways at Kiman's delicate and pretty cheeks.

"Uh...... Take something you don't need much. If it was in other circumstances, Kidman might not have guessed what the man in front of her was stuffing into his bag, but in the current outside environment, Kidman is not stupid, how could she not guess.

"What are you doing with this stuff?"

"Hey, be quiet, I don't want to get in trouble. Why, of course, it is used to craft demonic equipment. Zhu Peng looked around, and at the same time sped up the movements in his hands.

"That's human skin!?"

"You don't want to tell me that there is no killing without buying and selling, right? This world is connected to the demon world, no matter what we do, after the evil demon comes, we should kill or kill the same person, in this case, we use the legacy of these victims to make equipment to fight, and get rid of the demon, isn't it to help them take revenge? People can't be resurrected after death, instead of blaming all the problems on morality, why can't we think about how to do something practical to help the people who are still alive?" Zhu Peng's words finally reluctantly persuaded the female police officer Kiman. What he said was indeed the truth, and although Killman was difficult to accept for a moment, her reason told her that what the other party said was probably right.

"Whew...... I don't care, anyway, what you're doing now makes me very unhappy, you have to compensate me, otherwise you don't think you can take these things out. ”

"No, sister, your brother and I are tired of doing some small business...... Alas, well. Zhu Peng grabbed Kiman, who was about to call others, and had to surrender:

"Okay, you won, haven't you always wanted demon slaying equipment? I promise you, I will give you one after I sell this material in my hand. "Kidman doesn't know the level of demon-slaying weapons very well, and with the girl's lack of knowledge, Zhu Peng gave her a high-quality weapon that is definitely enough to send away. And the value of such a large part of the magic skin in his hand is definitely much higher than this.

However, even after tempering, a person as shrewd as Zhu Peng never expected that because of today's choice, he would be in a big trouble for a long time to come.

If the world can be repeated, maybe Zhu Peng simply doesn't want this magic skin.
