The Mysterious World Under Steampunk - Chapter 1817

Because the lucky guy that Leo wanted to meet is now being held in the cell of the public security station, the two attendants who followed Leo had no authority to arrange a meeting for Leo, so they could only come to officials with higher authority.

“Aren’t you a marine biologist?” The governor’s mansion official in charge of managing these special captives of Leo looked at Leo in puzzlement and asked.

Facing the official’s questioning, Leo explained calmly: “It is true that I am a marine biologist, but in fact my real identity is a biologist, and my research objects are all living things. The main reason is that ocean research is a popular subject now, it is easy to find jobs, and the pay is very good.”

Hearing the explanation, the official couldn’t help smiling, thinking that the scholar Leo was very interesting, and he was very different from the scholars he saw who used to look up.

“If you find anything, I hope you can tell me as soon as possible.” The official didn’t say anything more, and immediately issued a temporary consultant certificate, and then found a subordinate to take Leo there The lucky guy was interrogated in the Sheriff’s cell.

Soon the group arrived at the security station. After checking the certificate, the people at the security station let Leo and the others into the cell.

It is said that the cell is actually just a simple shed built with a row of wooden fences. It is very simple, and the cell door is not locked, but the prisoners who are locked up are generally shackled or chained.

The people in the security station are not worried about people escaping here. In fact, they are also very happy to see people escaping, so that they can conduct abnormal hunting games, but the object of hunting is not wild beasts, but escaped prisoners. A death row prisoner tried to escape into the jungle to avoid the death penalty, but in the hunting game, he was found by the hunters of the public security station, and then his legs were crippled, and he was brought back to the square in Matou Bay. Method tortured for five days before killing him.

With this example, even the death row inmates are willing to wait here for the death penalty. After all, the execution of the death penalty is only a moment, and it is better than dying of torture.

Although this incident later spread to the Kingdom of Root, some people felt that this was too cruel, and the king also wrote to the governor here to express his dissatisfaction with this incident, but the governor of Matouwan didn’t care at all. These negative views, what to do and what to do, for him, as long as his rule in Matouwan is stable, everything else will stand aside.

It is also because of this that even though the so-called lucky man named Daman was destined to be sentenced to death, the cell where he was held was still not locked. run away.

Daman seemed to have accepted his fate. After seeing Leo and the others walk into the cell, he didn’t show any expression, just stared blankly at the person coming.

The Governor’s Mansion official who was in charge of leading Leo in was about to introduce Leo’s identity, but was interrupted by Leo. He signaled the man to take a few steps back, and then he walked up to Daman, squatted down, and looked towards Leaning on Daman, who was sitting on the wooden fence of the cell, he said: “I am not some powerful official, and there is no way to let you out. I came here to meet you just because I was curious about the rumored monster. You have twice I have seen the experience of monsters, and in these two experiences, you were spared by monsters when you were about to die from monster attacks, so there may be some kind of trait in you that affects the decision of monsters. If you can discover the secret inside, Then your value will be different, and this may help you survive, of course, the premise is that you are willing to cooperate with me and tell what you know.”

Hearing Leo’s words, Daman’s lifeless face became more angry. He looked at Leo, as if he was thinking about what Leo said. After a while, he asked in a hoarse voice: “Do you want Want to know what?”

After hearing this, Leo smiled, turned his head to let the governor’s mansion official’s glass of water come, and handed the water to Daman. After Daman drank the whole glass of water, he said in a deep voice: ” I want to know the whole process of the two encounters with monsters, and I will tell you all the details you can remember, such as the shape of the monster, the surrounding conditions, the state of the patrol soldiers who were taken away by the monster, etc. Everything you have seen Say everything again.”

It seemed that he felt that Leo was his only life-saving straw. Daman also recalled it very seriously, and then recounted his experience very carefully according to Leo’s request. During the narration, Leo also interrupted A few times, I asked some irrelevant questions in Daman’s view, such as Daman’s feelings and emotional changes after encountering monsters.

On the side, the officials of the Governor’s Mansion also listened carefully. He also wanted to know what the so-called traits that affect monsters in Leo’s mouth were, but from the beginning to the end, he didn’t feel anything worth noting. When Ou Zhong interrupted Daman’s narration, the questions he asked were unclear, so after listening to Daman’s narration, he turned to look at Leo, as if waiting for Leo’s answer.

However, Leo did not give an answer right away, but thought for a while, and then asked again in a confirmation style: “You just mentioned that when you first saw a monster, your back felt itchy, as if you were caught A lot of bugs stared at the same thing, so how did you feel the second time you saw a monster at the logging camp?”

“No… It’s not that I didn’t feel it, it’s because I didn’t see any monsters at the lumberyard.” Seeing that Leo had misheard, Daman immediately corrected him: “At that time, I felt that there was something behind me, and when I turned my head, I fainted for no reason. When I woke up, I found that everyone in the logging camp had disappeared, so I ran back to report, and the patrol team went to search, and they told me that all the loggers were missing.”

Leo asked again: “How do you feel that there is something behind you?”

Daman explained: “I just feel the heat on my back, as if someone is staring at me from behind.”

Leo showed a thoughtful look, and then asked: “After you found that there was no one in the lumber camp, shouldn’t you wait in the camp for a while and return to Matou Bay after the other lumberjacks come back? When you found that there was no one in the logging camp, you immediately ran back to Matouwan to report?”

“I…” Daman was stunned for a moment, and then said with a face of shame: “I’m scared, I, I feel the monster is staring at me nearby, I’m scared.”

Leo asked again with confirmation: “It feels like the monster is staring at you. Is that feeling the heat on your back?”

Daman shook his head, and then looked embarrassed, as if he didn’t know how to explain, and finally he could only say: “It’s just a feeling, not a physical feeling, it’s that kind of feeling, I don’t know how to describe it.”

Leo hadn’t reacted to Daman’s answer, and the officials of the Governor’s Mansion on the side already showed displeasure. He obviously felt that Daman was hiding something, so he said with a serious expression: “You have to know that now you The situation is very bad, this Leo scholar may be your only chance, if you still hide it at this time…”

“He didn’t hide anything, he told the truth.” Before Daman was about to defend himself, Leo explained for Daman, and then he told Daman: “Take off your clothes, let me Look at your back.”

Hearing Leo’s words, Daman was stunned for a moment, without thinking too much, he took off his clothes, then turned around, revealing his back.

“Ah!” The officials of the Governor’s Mansion immediately uttered a scream when they saw Daman’s back, and then staggered and ran to the outside of the cell as if taking refuge, and hid at a distance they thought was safe before stopping and turning their heads Look at the movement in the cell.

On the other hand, Leo squatted down and signaled Daman who was frightened by the screams not to move, and then seriously looked at the things on Daman’s back.

I saw that there was a patch of chickenpox-like pustules on Daman’s back. If it was just pustules, it might make the official feel sick, but it wouldn’t make him so frightened. Together, a sudden eye-like shape is formed, and the eyes are extremely fierce, as if they will eat people up at any time. What’s even scarier is that there seems to be something moving inside all the pustules, which makes people look There will be a feeling of chills.

“Is this a plague?” The official asked impatiently after calming down a bit.

It is no wonder that the officials are so nervous, because the deadliest thing in the New World is not the monsters or natives in the jungle, but various plagues. Every time a plague breaks out, the number of deaths is based on villages, towns, and cities. A region Among the deaths in one area, among all the causes of death in the New World, the number of deaths from other causes is less than a fraction of the number of deaths from the plague.

“No.” Leo shook his head, turned his head to look at the nervous official, and said, “This should be a curse, or a parasite. It’s not contagious.” He still didn’t believe it. The official who he spoke suggested: “If you don’t believe me, you can immediately go to the best doctor here to check the situation, and report his situation by the way. If you are already planning to execute him, you’d better also Cancel it, he may be of great benefit to you in exploring the New World.”

Hearing Leo’s suggestion, the official immediately followed suit, ordered the two followers to stay outside the cell, and then hurried out. Not long after running out, some soldiers from the security station were holding some wooden boards and the like He rushed over, quickly assembled a wooden wall around the cell, and then guarded the outside, as if all the people in the cell were under house arrest.

At this moment, other prisoners were held in the cell. They seemed to realize what the soldiers were doing and screamed in panic, but none of them dared to run out of the cell, because they knew very well that if they ran Out of the cell, there is only one dead end, and those soldiers don’t care about the reason why they ran out of the cell, they just know **** escaped prisoners.

The two attendants who were in charge of taking care of Leo were also confused by the movement in front of them. They all showed expressions of wanting to cry. They thought they were just looking for an easy job, but they didn’t expect to meet Leo on the first day. When it came to such a thing, if they really encountered a plague, then they would be finished.

As time passed, there was a loud noise from outside, and then a gap was opened in the wooden wall, and then the whole body was wrapped in a fur coat, with a sealed crow leather hood on the head, and a gap in the wooden wall. Several doctors with a few adventurous aromatherapy **** came out from the gap, and then walked directly to the cell where Daman was, without talking nonsense, and after signaling Leo to step aside, they carefully inspected the pustules on Daman’s body.

I saw that the examination they did was also very simple. They used a needle to puncture several of the largest pustules on Daman’s body, stained with a little pus overflowing from the pustules, and put them into different medicine bottles.

At this time, they also found that after the pustules burst, besides the pus overflowing, a small worm came out of the pustules. Although they didn’t understand what happened, they still picked it up with a needle and put it in into an empty pill bottle.

After the pus was put into all the test medicine bottles, they shook the medicine bottles to let the pus fully blend into the medicine inside. After finishing all this, they seriously took out a book that looked like It is a small book of the color card set, and then correspond to the color of the liquid medicine in different bottles one by one according to the color blocks on the top.

Soon, the colors of all the medicines were compared, and several doctors breathed a sigh of relief. Although their voices were not loud, they were still heard by the people in the cell. Daman, who had been tense from just now, immediately I relaxed for a while, and didn’t know for a while whether I should be happy that I didn’t have the plague on my body, or feel depressed that I had an unknown disease on my body.

After confirming that it was not the plague, several doctors also quickly left the cell, and told the outsiders the results of their examination through the wooden wall. The outsiders immediately relaxed when they learned that it was not the plague.

At this time, UU reading www.uukanshu.com someone ordered the doctors, and then saw one of the doctors walk out of the cell with a chain passed from the wooden wall, motioned for Leo to come out, and then Leo walked out of the cell Finally, the cell where Daman was held was locked.

After that, the doctor took Leo and two followers to the edge of the wooden wall, motioned them to stand where they were, then sprayed them with a liquid medicine, and then swept them back and forth with some kind of fume. After a dozen or so repetitions, they were allowed to leave.

Although they left the cell area guarded by wooden walls and soldiers, Leo and his two followers were not allowed to leave the security station, but were taken to a large house like a conference room next to the security station. At this moment, several people are already staying in the big house.

The two attendants who came in with Leo immediately knelt on the ground when they saw the people in the house, and said in unison to the thin middle-aged man in the middle, “Your Excellency.”

After hearing the names of the two followers, Leo also looked up and down at the governor of Matouwan, and the same governor and other people in the room also looked at Leo curiously.
