Chapter 58: Wuju People
Li Ang never dreamed that he would one day overturn in this way.
By the time the pollen was completely shaken off, it was the next morning.
I vaguely remember that last night he and Miss Donna had a heated and thorough in-depth discussion.
In the end, Li Ang narrowly prevailed.
Miss Donna is a little rusty in both theoretical knowledge and practical operation, but in one round, she will be defeated.
It's a pity that she wore a headscarf the whole time, and she couldn't see her expression clearly at that time, which was a little less fun.
After a moment of reflection, Leon got out of bed.
His clothes were now neatly stacked on the cabinet next to the bed, and there was a fresh scent of flowers.
As for the owner of the scent, there is no trace of it.
I'm familiar with it to this extent, but I'm still shy? Leon didn't understand it very well.
Packing up and walking out of the bedroom, he soon found that Archyna was still asleep in the rocking chair and had not disappeared.
Leon suspected that Archyna had fallen for the puppeteer's fantasy and thought she had returned to the castle before she fell asleep, and since the illusion itself was not malicious, it was difficult to tell the truth from the fake.
Combined with what happened to him last night, Leon has reason to believe.
Three years later, when Donna stopped Ethan, she definitely let the water go, and no less.
Without rushing to wake up Achena, Leon first walked around the old mansion, but not to mention Miss Donna, he couldn't even find the puppet Angie.
There is no above-ground part, and it is most likely underground.
Underground, there is not only the most important puppet workshop of the Benevento family, but also a medicine room, a study, a kitchen, and a room for Donna herself.
It can be said that most of her life has been lived in the shadows.
Passing through the corridor behind the reception room, you can find the elevator that leads to the underground, and as soon as Li Ang went down, he saw Anji guarding the elevator entrance.
"Donna said she doesn't want to see you for the time being, and the previous agreement is still counting, you can rest assured."
"She also said that yesterday's events don't mean anything, don't think about it, it's just adults taking what they need."
After saying that, Anji turned around and ran, as if he was a little afraid of the man in front of him.
Li Ang quickly grabbed it and carried it into the air: "Aren't you Donna?" ”
"I'm Anji!" The puppet bride opened her teeth and claws, kicking her feet indiscriminately: "Let go of me, what kind of ability is it to bully me, if you have the ability, you can bully her!" ”
Leon squatted down and put it on the ground: "I don't bully anyone, I just woke up and didn't see her, I'm a little worried, she's okay, right?" ”
Seeing that he was so serious, Anji also calmed down, bowed his head and said, "She's fine." ”
Li Ang, who learned the exact news, no longer entangled, turned around and returned to the elevator bridge box: "It's okay, then I'll go first, see you next time, bye." ”
The two didn't have much emotional foundation in the first place, and since Donna didn't want to see him, he didn't force it.
He walked very simply, but Anji was a little anxious, caught up and asked, "You don't want to know why?" ”
Leon replied calmly: "It doesn't matter, the important thing is that I had a wonderful night." ”
"Then you're going to come to me again? I mean... We. Angie looked at him expectantly.
Li Ang smiled: "I've been waiting for the invitation of the two young ladies. ”
Anji immediately became happy: "When you come to be a guest next time, I'll tell you why!" ”
After bidding farewell to the doll bride and the man behind it, Leon returned to the foyer on the first floor and woke Archyna up.
"Haven't I already gone back, why are I still here?"
After sleeping all night on a hard and narrow chaise longue, Madame felt unwell.
Li Ang helped her massage her stiff limbs and said, "Dream, you fell asleep early yesterday and stayed here all night. ”
"No wonder." Archyna narrowed her eyes in enjoyment: "She didn't treat you well, did she?" ”
"What can she do to me!" Leon was calm.
"Yes." Archyna didn't doubt it, and when her body was almost recovered, she planned to leave: "Let's go out first, I don't want to stay in this place for a moment." ”
Then the two walked out of the old Benevento house, and the lady was finally able to stretch her waist to her heart's content.
"Negotiated with her yesterday?"
Li Ang looked at the rising sun in the distance: "Almost, I basically talked about it all over again." ”
"Is her word credible?" Archyna suddenly lowered her voice: "Do you want to take it back to the castle and lock it up, and wait until everything settles..."
Li Ang thought for a moment and said, "There's no need, it's easy to startle the snake, Miranda's attention to her is still quite high." Just find someone to watch, and I'll come back often to remind her what to do and what not to do. ”
"Okay, listen to you." Achina no longer persuades.
The two descended the same way down the mountain, and after reaching the altar of the Mother Goddess, they returned to the castle in a carriage.
Meanwhile, the ubiquitous werewolves in the valley have informed Miranda of their whereabouts.
For such a trivial matter as the private contact between the four major families, she basically didn't care about it before.
But this time when it comes to Leon, the situation is very different, not to mention that she has just gotten the results of Leon's blood component test, and found something very interesting from it.
"Tell Donna to give her time to come to me."
"Tell Archyna to take a good look at Leon, and when I finish this experiment, I will go to the castle to meet them myself."
Paid attention to, but not completely.
Miranda didn't think that the four families would betray at all, or that even if they were betrayed, it wouldn't be a big deal for her.
As the highest-authority mold infected person under the fungus master, she has this confidence.
She can give these people new life, and she can give them death.
Rather than guessing at the thoughts and intentions of her subordinates, Miranda prefers to spend her time resurrecting her daughter, especially after learning that Leon has a special bloodline, she has already begun to plan how to get her daughter to get the most out of her father.
......
In the castle, Achena, who had just finished her meal of the day, frowned.
"Miranda probably got the news that we went to find Donna now."
Li Ang was lying flat on the bed, recovering his strength: "As expected, I didn't expect to hide it from her, just continue to follow the plan." ”
"When I slow down a bit, I'll go to the factory and find Heisenberg."
Seeing his state at this time, Achina couldn't help but feel guilty: "It's me who is not good, dragging you down." ”
"It's all family, there's no need to talk about it." Li Ang got up from the bed: "I took the initiative to come up with this idea. ”
Nowadays, there is only one person who can drink his blood anytime and anywhere, and even Bella does not have such a high salary.
Achena couldn't help but be moved, and hugged Leon tightly in her arms.
Five minutes later, Li Ang, who was slightly deprived of oxygen, pulled his face out: "I heard the phone ringing outside, did you hear it?" ”
"Seems to be." Archyna tidied up her clothes: "I'll pick it up, you can rest." ”
After a while, her voice came back to the bedroom: "It's Anji... Or Donna, looking for you. ”
Leon then walked outside to the living room, picked up the puppeteer's phone, and received a message.
Miranda asks Donna to go to her with a certain amount of pollen.
After thinking about it for a long time, Leon didn't understand what this mother goddess was suddenly going to do with hallucinogenic pollen, but for the sake of insurance, he didn't dare to delay any longer and prepared to go to the factory immediately.
......
Miranda's reason for hallucinogenic pollen is simple, she will use it when she goes to the United States.
I even considered whether to let Donna go with her.
Despite the gratifying results of the blood test of the number one candidate, Miranda still did not give up on Ethan, who was far away in the United States, and the more choices she had, the greater the hope of her daughter's resurrection.
And Leon thought that she had another conspiracy, so he hurried to the factory to speed up the implementation of the plan.
This time he chose to go on his own road, after all, the purpose was to plot against Heisenberg, and if he took Archyna, it would only backfire with the bad relationship between them.
In fact, not only Archina, Heisenberg had a very bad relationship with everyone.
Leon returned to the altar of the Mother Goddess he had visited earlier, opened the four wings to the northeast, and followed the path through a large area of abandoned ancient ruins to a circular altar.
This place has little to do with Miranda, it is the place where the ancient ancestors of the village worshiped the king.
The walls of the mountains on either side are carved with giant seated figures wearing crowns, roughly estimated to be at least five or six stories tall.
If this is developed, it will definitely be a great tourist attraction.
It's a pity that as the first tourist to visit, Li Ang didn't have time to stop and play.
The road to the factory is even more difficult than going to the old Benevento house, and Heisenberg uses the river as a natural hazard, with complex mechanisms, to build a line of defense for his territory that ordinary people cannot penetrate.
And the method of unlocking the mechanism has something to do with the sacrificial ground at Li Ang's feet.
The altar that had been carried from the altar of the Mother Goddess was placed in a stone trough just enough to hold it, and as the earth trembled, the stone pillars that were divided into several sections slowly rose on the turbulent river not far away, and finally formed a bridge across the river.
At the same time, the circular sacrificial arena beneath Leon's feet roared, and then began to descend, falling into a cavern hidden underground.
It's not clear if such an intricate and large-scale mechanism is an ancient masterpiece or a modern craft.
Miranda and her men shouldn't have time for all this bells and whistles.
The exit from the cavern connects to one end of the stone bridge and the metallurgical plant at Heisenberg at the other.
The most peculiar thing is that the factory is the only place in the valley that is not covered with snow.
Leon suspected that it was caused by the chimney, which was emitting black smoke all year round, or perhaps because of the low terrain.
Thinking of this, he remembered that his wife had said something very interesting.
Due to the large amount of wastewater produced during metallurgy, with Heisenberg's character, don't expect him to use any water purification equipment, and directly discharge the wastewater into the downstream reservoir, for which the mermaid Morrow also had a lot of conflicts with him.
But in the end, under Miranda's mediation, the matter was closed.
And Heisenberg had no intention of changing afterwards at all, and continued to go his own way.
As far as Li Ang knows, since the day of the fight, the domestic water of the Tijia Castle has basically been purchased by the Duke from outside, and it is estimated that the situation on Donna's side is similar.
From this point of view, Heisenberg's sparse popularity really can't complain about others.
But to say that he is a complete villain, it is not true, because among the four major families, he has the least number of people in his hands.
Madame's blood sickness, as well as Moreau's mold experiments, both consume living people, and even Donna will mercilessly kill villagers who strayed into her territory.
Heisenberg was the only one whose subordinates were all transformed from corpses, and he personally led people to dig them up.
Who would have thought that the most ferocious of the four families would actually be the most disciplined.
It's full of contrasts.
At the thought of Heisenberg secretly digging graves in the middle of the night, Leon couldn't help but laugh.
However, he couldn't laugh at once.
As soon as he stepped onto the bridge, Heisenberg's extremely unbeatable voice reached Leon's ears through the factory's loudspeaker.
"You really dare to come, you have a bit of guts!"
"Hurry up and get me to the bridge, old woman's little white face!"
Leon restrained his smile, crossed the stone bridge with a gloomy face, and came to the factory gate: "Carl, I'm here to negotiate terms with you." ”
There was an arrogant laugh from the loudspeaker: "Hahaha, don't tease me, you still negotiate terms with me, do you want to lick my ass, I don't like this kind of tune!" ”
Having said that, Heisenberg opened the factory gates.
"Come in and tell me how you managed to get rid of those two old witches who have been menopausal for many years, it's really an enviable appetite, hahahahahaha!!"
Obviously, in his own territory, the martial artists appointed by the emperor in the 31st year of Guangxu are even more arrogant.
Leon ignored his provocation and stepped inside.
Inside the factory is a large flat field overgrown with weeds, with water towers and high-voltage lines in the distance, and finally the main body of the factory, which is littered with rusty iron waste, such as scrapped cars, badly deformed shipping containers, and even a few tanks with their turrets separated from their bodies.
Heisenberg used these things as raw materials to make new metallurgical products.
The sky here is foggy and slightly yellowish, and the air is always filled with the smell of iron unique to heavy industry, which inexplicably gives people a sense of gloom and desolation.
Leon continued to walk, bypassing the garbage on the ground and entering a garage-like place made of scrap iron.
"Are you a turtle, walking so slowly? I'm in the office below, come on! ”
Heisenberg's voice prompted Leon that he should take the stairs in the garage and go underground to find him.
It seems that Miranda's subordinates make great use of underground space, such as the dungeon where the Madame stores blood and wine, Donna's doll workshop, and even the mermaid Morrow living in the underground mines all year round.
Is it to conform to the usual characteristics of villains, so crawling in the shadows underground?
Leon didn't understand very well, he was a vampire, synonymous with dark creatures, and he didn't like this clammy and cold environment.
After turning through the brick and concrete passages, we finally arrived at Heisenberg's office.
The first thing that catches your eye is a wall of maps and photographs, with a huge poster of the Mother Goddess Miranda in the center, surrounded by photos of the other three family members.
It's just that the photos of each family member have a big cross drawn with a red pen.
As for the rest of the office, it's cluttered, run-down, and as bohemian as its owner.
"Oh, Lao Tzu's secret has been discovered by you, do you think I should kill it?"
Heisenberg slurped his cigar and swayed out of the darkness.
"Let me guess, Miranda must have done something that you couldn't accept, so she's looking for help, right?"
"You went to Benevento last night and found it useless!"
He moved over a stool that was about to fall apart and motioned for Leon to sit down, and continued, "Extra-large mean women, perverted ugly dolls, and that mentally retarded freak, none of them look like they can save you. ”
The family members on the wall seemed to be accustomed to being humiliated by him in turn.
"You have a lot of vision, little white face, and you know who is the one in this valley who can really do things!"
"Tell me what you think, I'll see if you're worth it for me to make a move."

Game trivia: During the production of "Biochemical 8", due to the epidemic, Capcom had to cut a large number of Donna and Morrow-related plots, resulting in these two bosses being far inferior to Mrs. and Wuju in terms of character and background richness.
