"Could it be another catastrophic monster?" Sylvia's face immediately became solemn when she felt the vibrations around her, and she planned to go to the ground to see what was going on.

"Wait! Not outside. Leo suddenly stopped Sylvia, and then turned his head to a wall not far away with Turing roots carved into its surface, which in his vision was emitting waves of energy along with the surrounding earthquakes.

Seeing Leo's expression, Sylvia also noticed the wall, although she did not have a spirit network and psionic vision, and could not be very sensitive to energy fluctuations like Leo, but the general recorder she wore in her hand could faithfully record the energy around her and feed it back to her in real time.

"Is that the giant?" Sylvia sensed and immediately decided.

"Hmm!" Leo nodded, then turned his head to look at the rune magic circle he had just stopped, thoughtfully stopped the magic circle that was still running, and took the special container containing the remains of the monster.

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

"What's going on? The giant is moving again?If I remember correctly, every earthquake in Odoline takes at least half a year to recur, why did it happen again in less than a month?" Sylvia said, sensing that her surroundings had calmed down, as if asking herself, "Is it because of the stimulation of the long night?" or because of our transformation of the furnace in that heart?"

"I'm afraid of both. Leo also quickly made a judgment, the power fluctuations generated by his rune magic array and the monster remains in the container just now stimulated the sleeping giant, and the smelting furnace transformation project in the heart of the giant may have touched some forbidden things and powers, which will eventually cause the movement just now.

"I'm going back to the factory site so that nothing happens again. Sylvia was immediately worried about the problems on the current factory site, so she said to Leo and hurried out of the laboratory.

After Leo left Sylvia, he went to a laboratory table, put the remains in the container into a special metal basin of the laboratory table, and then took out a bucket made of stone from under the table, and introduced the dissolved liquid made of more than a dozen materials and wizard alchemy into the metal basin.

The moment the dissolved liquid touches the metal, it immediately emits an unpleasant odor, and a very subtle sizzling sound can be heard, as if it wants to melt the metal basin.

However, the Turing root on this metal basin was activated before the dissolved liquid began to corrode the metal surface, and a faint energy was emitted to cover the surface of the basin, so that there was always a transparent isolation layer between the dissolved solution and the metal surface.

Compared to the metal basin that was protected by the wizard's secret method, the monster wreckage that was introduced into the container before dissolved dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye after being soaked in the dissolving liquid, and at the same time of dissolving, Leo also accurately captured a trace of weak energy emitted, and it did not dissipate immediately, but escaped as if he had consciousness.

It was naturally impossible for Leo to let go of this wisp of energy, so he directly used the spirit net to capture it, and then took out a crystal polished test tube, collected this wisp of energy, and stimulated the Turing root in the test tube, and the crystal test tube also emitted a faint red light because of the entry of this wisp of energy.

Without the special energy to rely on, the stone-like remains were quickly dissolved, and there was not even a single residue left.

Leo put the extracted wisp of energy on a special shelf next to him for inserting test tubes, poured the dissolved liquid back into the stone barrel and sealed it, and then turned around and walked out of the laboratory, and when he left, the wizard circle at the entrance of the laboratory was activated, forming a stone wall illusion and blocking the entrance.

—————

This illusion is not just an illusion, the force that creates the illusion can imitate the texture of the surrounding rocks for a short time, and even if someone reaches out and touches it, it will feel that it is no different from the surrounding rocks, and it is truly seamless.

After securing the entrance, Leo left the pit of the quarry and entered the darkness of the city, where he began his hunt.

Pluto is a native of Vilan, the Kingdom of Galica, and was a caravan guard in his early years, but later had to stay in Odoline to recuperate because of his injuries, and he met his current wife during this life, and also liked Odolin's relatively stable life, so he resigned from his position in the caravan and found a job as a security guard in a local gangster bar in Odoline.

Because he had lived in Odoline for a few years, he was no stranger to the Long Night, but it was different from the other people's fear of the Long Night, which was no different from the normal night in his eyes, because he had never encountered anything strange in the several long nights he had experienced, and the only time he had a somewhat strange experience was when one of his colleagues suddenly became angry and attacked another colleague.

It's just that this incident doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Long Night Period after the fact, because the two colleagues already have a deep grudge against each other, and it won't be too surprising when they attack each other.

It is precisely because of Pluto's attitude towards the long night period that every time the long night period appears, some things that have to go out alone will be arranged for him to do by his boss, of course, these things that others are unwilling to take over will not be let him do in vain, and he will be given quite a generous errand fee every time, so every long night period for Pluto is a sign that an extra income is about to go into his pocket.

After the arrival of this long night, the situation was no exception, and the security captain of the bar called Pluto directly into the office, then handed Pluto a package, an address, and a commission, and let him leave.

Pluto knew very well that the contents of the package were some contraband that could not be circulated in the market, and that these contraband could only be bought on the black market, and that even the black market could not sell these contraband blatantly, so they could only contact interested buyers through other methods, and then negotiate the price and sell it.

In order to avoid getting into trouble as much as possible, neither buyers nor sellers will be in direct contact, but will ship and receive goods through third-party channels, the owner of Pluto's bar is a delivery agent, and the bar security guards under his hands are his delivery people, but unlike others, Pluto is a special contraband delivery person.

There were originally four more in the bar for special contraband deliverers like him, but now only he is left, and two of the other three were accidentally involved in a battle when the monster was attacking the city, and the result can be imagined, as for the other delivery man, he was very unlucky to encounter the trap set by the Church of the Lady of the Lake, and when he saw that there was no hope of escaping, he committed suicide directly, because he committed suicide not only to protect his family, but his family was also able to receive a large pension from the boss.

Now the only person left to deliver special contraband is Pluto, so the bartender boss also attaches great importance to him, and the remuneration is naturally very generous.

Pluto doesn't need to open the paper bag containing the remuneration to be able to estimate how much money is in it, this kind of money is not the currency of various governments, but the exchange vouchers of the black market, for ordinary people, they do not know where the black market is, and they can't use it with exchange vouchers, only people like Pluto can find the black market, and use the exchange vouchers to exchange them for various shops that sell best in the market or the most sought-after food, alcohol, etc.

Although in Pluto's opinion, this income is equivalent to making money for nothing, 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 an arrogant and reckless person, so he still puts all kinds of equipment on his body according to the rules before leaving.

For example, waist lamps, such as guns with special bullets, various medicines used to deal with emergencies, etc., and after checking it several times without missing anything, he put on the long trench coat he had been wearing since the caravan guard, dug a small passage from the bottom of the bar, came to an idle apartment not far away, looked at the dark street outside, and then identified the direction, then covered his head with the hood behind the trench coat, and walked into the dark street.

Although it had not been long in the middle of the night, most of the people in the city already knew when the long night was coming, so they either went home early or stayed with their colleagues at the place where they worked, and there was no one else walking on the street except for the lamplighters hired by the government, and if it weren't for the braziers or fireplaces lit by the buildings on both sides of the road, suddenly seeing such an empty dark street would mistake this place for a dead city.

As usual, Pluto walked along the edge of the lamppost on the street, which made him less conspicuous with his waist lamp on his body, and made it easier for him to see the road around him through the light.

Although, in the past, Pluto had never encountered anything abnormal, and he had not taken the kind of medicine that calmed his emotions and would not encounter the so-called mysterious power that made him lose control of his emotions, but he had heard countless stories about the long night period in the past, so when a person walked in such an environment, he naturally felt a little inexplicable, and his body was always tense because of fear, and his hands were always on the weapon on his body, ready to launch a counterattack when he encountered an attack.

The lamplighters on the road also knew what this kind of person was when they saw Pluto dressed like this, and they didn't come up because of curiosity, but avoided it far away before Pluto came over, as if hiding from the plague.

Pluto's footsteps were fast, and in less than twenty minutes he had passed through the civilian city in the north of the city and entered the commercial district in the northeastern part of the city, and the junction chosen by the receiver was the small bell tower in the commercial district.

Not long after entering the business district, Pluto felt the ground suddenly shake, and the surrounding buildings were accompanied by screams, but fortunately, the shaking quickly subsided, and the screams disappeared from the city, and everything seemed to return to a bottleneck, but Pluto had an inexplicable sense of unease.

Then he heard a rush of footsteps in the distance, and felt that a large number of people were running towards him, so he immediately hid in a dark alley on the side, and covered the fire of the waist lamp with his clothes, so as not to reveal his whereabouts by the fire later.

It didn't take long to see a figure with an extremely distorted body passing through the street in front of me at an extremely fast speed, and then I saw four or five people from the Sky Lord Church chasing after me.

Although Pluto didn't see clearly what that figure looked like, he knew very well that a person's body was twisted like hemp rope and it was absolutely impossible for him to be alive, so the figure that passed by just now was definitely not a person.

Pluto had also seen a lot of inhuman monsters when he was serving as a caravan guard, and he had also seen monsters that were more twisted than this figure, and even went crazy for a while because of the mental pollution generated by those twisted monsters, so he had already had a certain psychological tolerance for this kind of monster, even if this was the first time he had seen this strange phenomenon in the long night, he was still able to stabilize his emotions and calm himself.

While waiting for the footsteps to disappear at the end of the street, Pluto prepared to set off again and hand over the goods as soon as possible, for the scene that had just appeared made him feel that his good fortune 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 into the street, he suddenly stopped, and his body instantly became extremely stiff, as if he had been petrified, and sweat drops came out of his forehead little by little, and flowed down the wrinkles on his face.

Pluto wasn't really imprisoned by some kind of force, but the reason why he suddenly fell into this state of stiffness was because he felt an extremely dangerous being watching him behind him, and his intuition told him that if he took one step further, an unknown dangerous presence behind him would attack him.

Although his hands were on the weapon at the moment, and it was possible that he could attack the mysterious existence behind him as long as he turned around and pulled the trigger, he didn't dare to make any movement, so he could only slow down his breathing as much as possible to calm himself from panic and fear, because only by calming down could he have a chance to think of a way out of the predicament.

However, the unknown being behind Pluto didn't seem to be ready to give him a chance, only to hear a sound similar to a wood breaking from behind him, and then Pluto felt a pain in his back, and then a transparent spike drilled out of his chest, and some flesh was still hanging from the barb on the spike.

Before Pluto could feel the pain before he died, he heard a piercing scream from behind him, and then the spikes in his chest instantly turned to ashes like burned paper, and the body that should have been penetrated was now intact, and even the clothes on his body were not damaged.
