Chapter 1465
"Stop! Check!" On a peripheral street leading to the gate of the shoe upper fortress, a shoe upper member guarding here saw from a distance in the darkness at the end of the street, a horse lantern shaking very conspicuously, although He couldn't see the rest of the carriage clearly, but he could still tell that a carriage was approaching, so he stepped forward to block the road as a matter of routine.
Hearing the order, the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down. Amidst the crisp sound of horseshoes and the creaking sound of the shaft crushing the ground, the entire body of the carriage was gradually revealed in the light of the torch guarded by the shoe upper.
And the moment he saw the entire body of the carriage, the person who ordered to stop the carriage for inspection immediately changed his face, covered his nose, and quickly stepped aside to the side of the road, cursing and saying, "Damn it, what a stinky smell!" It rushed over, it turned out to be a dung truck, bad luck, really fucking bad luck!" Then, he looked at the stopped dung truck with disgust, and quickly waved: "Let's go! Let's go! No need to check! Get this damn thing out of my sight!"
The driver on the dung cart heard what the upper guard said, and didn't say much. He raised the reins in his hand and prepared to let the carriage continue to move forward.
"Wait!" At this time, another shoe upper leader with several scars on his face among the guards ordered loudly. Then, holding his nose, he stepped forward and looked at the two excavators sitting on the excrement truck. Asked: "Cripple, didn't you always come to transport this thing early in the morning? Why is it so early today?"
One of the wretched-looking old men hunched over and said cautiously: "Captain Benuco, I mentioned to the gang some time ago that we will change the delivery time to night, and the gang also agreed, so I just……"
"Who is he? Why haven't I seen him?" Before the old man could finish his explanation, the leader of the shoe upper pointed to another excavator sitting beside him and asked.
The old man immediately explained: "He is my nephew, and he will work for me in the future. I will bring him here to familiarize himself with the work this time, so as not to be in a hurry when he will work for me in the future." He took out a crumpled piece of paper, handed it to the leader, and said, "Look at the pass I applied for him at this time."
"No need!" The shoe upper leader looked at the pass with a disgusted face, did not reach out to take it, but stepped back a few steps, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go! Don't go here when you come out later. One way, take the Rat Tail Street side, you know?"
"Yes, yes!" The old man quickly responded twice, and then motioned to his nephew to drive, and soon the carriage passed this checkpoint and headed towards the next checkpoint.
I don't know if it's because the previous checkpoints have already been checked, and there is no need to check more carefully, or because the state of martial law inside and outside the Upper Fortress has made these people in Upper Fortress a little mentally exhausted, or because This is a dung truck that is daunting. All in all, the subsequent inspections were very casual, and the dung truck passed by after only a few inquiries.
Soon the dung truck drove all the way from the patrol street outside the upper fortress to the inside of the fortress, and then walked half a circle along the wall of the fortress, and stopped near a dung pond, where human and animal feces would flow into the castle through ditches. Into this cesspool, the area also stinks, and no one comes near it.
After the carriage stopped, the two excavators did not rush to dig out the excrement, but jumped out of the carriage and quickly checked the surrounding situation. Their movements were very quick, and the old man nicknamed the lame man couldn't see it at all. There were no signs of lameness, nor did he look like an old man.
After confirming that there was no one around, the two excavators touched a pendant with complicated runes on their necks, and then the muscles on their faces began to wriggle abnormally, as if there were ten It was as if a few bugs were crawling around under their skin, and crackling sounds were heard from their bodies due to dislocation of bones, and their bodies gradually swelled.
The changes in the two of them soon stopped, and they also changed from two thin manure diggers to Joan and Petunia.
"Damn it, it hurts. If possible, I really don't want to use this method to get in." Joan, who had returned to normal form, gritted his teeth and slowly moved the slightly painful joints and muscles of his body.
The voodoo objects made by Leo were originally only used to change the appearance. Most of the time, it only needs to squirm the position of the muscles, or let the muscles in certain parts expand or contract, and it can completely change a person's appearance. It is rare to need to change the bone position, only when a certain appearance is fixed, the bone position needs to be changed.
However, when the item was in the hands of Joan and Penny, the two of them figured out some new usages during the process of using it, such as changing the body shape. It's just that changing the body shape requires a lot more bones and muscles to move than the appearance, and every change will bring some physical pain, which is also the drawback of this method.
Facing Joan's complaints, Penny did not respond, but took out a bottle of healing potion made by Leo and took a sip. As a cooling sensation spread from her stomach to her whole body, her discomfort quickly eased. disappear.
"My kind Miss Petunia, give me a sip too! Make me feel better too." Seeing Petunia take out the potion, Joan immediately stepped forward and said with a flattering expression.
However, in the face of Joan's request, Penny just gave him a blank look, and put the medicine bottle into her arms.
It's no wonder that Penny behaved like this. In fact, when Leo asked them to open a detective agency, he gave them ten bottles of potions with different effects to help them solve some difficult troubles.
It's just that the abilities of the two are outstanding, and they haven't encountered any troubles that make them feel embarrassed after so many days. In the past few days, Petunia's potions have been well preserved, but the bottles of Joan's potions have been stored for a short time. He secretly drank the potions for improving physical fitness and treating physical injuries, and the reason for secretly drinking these potions was only because he found that these potions could quickly sober up.
This incident also made Penny feel unhappy, thinking that sooner or later Joan would suffer because of her nonsense behavior, so now seeing Joan's painful face, she was too happy in her heart, so naturally she would not take herself The potion gave Joan relief from pain.
Seeing Petunia's appearance, Joan couldn't help but smiled wryly, and instead of asking for medicine, he ordered instead: "Move those two people out and let them return to normal sanity."
Penny wondered, "Didn't we use this identity when we left?"
Joan shook his head and said, "No need! Let's go the other way."
In the cooperation these days, Joan has always been the planner, and Penny is the executor. Although there were some minor problems in the process of cooperation between the two, it was not bad overall, and both of them adapted to their respective default plans. state, so after hearing Joan's proposal, Penny didn't ask much, and moved out the two real dung workers who were bundled under their seats, An sat on the carriage, and then used her spiritual power to stimulate their nerves, awakening them from their coma.
Before the two regained consciousness, Joan and Petunia had already hid in the dark to observe their actions after they woke up. If the two noticed something was wrong and called out to the guards, they would be able to stop it in time.
However, their caution was obviously a little too much. Although the two manure diggers were a little at a loss after waking up, why they appeared next to the manure tank of the shoe upper fortress, they did not suspect anything else, because the two men were on the road. They all drank wine, so they felt that they might have drunk the fragments, so after a period of confusion, they returned to the state of excavators, took out their tools, and started working.
Seeing that there were no abnormalities in the two of them, Joan and Penny did not stay any longer, but began to move towards a building complex near the cliff in the fort according to the plan.
Although Leo's mental network will be disturbed to the point of being unable to feed back useful information after approaching here, it does not mean that he is ignorant of the situation inside the upper station.
Because the entire shanty town is in the low-lying area of the port city of Xiwangyangjiao, even if the buildings in the shoe upper station are much higher than those simple houses in the shantytown and are surrounded by high walls, as long as you stand in the Ziwangyangjiao Looking down from the bell tower near the shanty town in Hong Kong, you can easily see the situation of the upper station.
In the absence of the spirit net, Leo could easily figure out the situation in the shoe upper resident just by observing with the naked eye and analyzing the building structure. Ann and Penny.
In fact, even if he didn't talk to Staff, Leo planned to let Joan go to the shoe upper or several other places where his spiritual net can't penetrate in the next few days, but it's not like sneaking in secretly like now, but It is to let Qiao An break in directly as his original identity. It is best to make the noise louder, so that those people and forces lurking under the water surface will come out.
Although the plan has changed now, Joan still memorized the internal building distribution map of several special locations including the upper of the shoe, and also remembered the patrol routes marked on the distribution map, such as clear whistle and dark whistle.
So, now he and Penny's infiltration went very smoothly, easily avoided checkpoints one after another, and arrived at their destination, outside a somewhat eye-catching stone house in the complex on the edge of the cliff.
Although Leo's mental network was severely disturbed when he approached this area, and he was unable to give back any useful scanning information, he was still able to judge the interference source covering this area by the strength of the interference power. stone houses.
Moreover, by observing from a distance, Leo also found that the items transported from the mysterious vehicles entering and leaving the upper and the people transported would enter the stone house, so he guessed that there must be a secret experiment in the stone house Even he can speculate that this laboratory is conducting some kind of human body modification experiment.
Because a large part of the items transported in fully enclosed compartments are biological organs with high-energy reactions. These organs are either just cut from the living body, or are kept alive by containers filled with nutrient solution.
In addition, these carriages also sent some people who should be regarded as experimental subjects to the stone house. These people were not caught in shantytowns or Xiwangyangjiao Port, but were sent from other cities. They looked like some criminals. Prisoners, and after these people entered the stone house, they never came out again.
It is precisely because the stone house is very important that there are the most people patrolling and defending here. Roughly speaking, there are more than 50 people standing on the bright side, and there are also those hiding in the dark. There are more than 20 of them, and one of them is sturdy and fully armed. At first glance, they are the elite of the upper.
If it's just the people from the shoe upper guarding here, it won't make Joan and Penny feel a little troublesome. They have at least a dozen ways to enter the stone house without disturbing these people, but they are observing. Afterwards, it soon became apparent that humans were not the only ones responsible for guarding the stone house. On the outer wall of the stone house, there were also several Queens hounds that were bigger than adults hanging upside down.
The reason why it is said to be hanging upside down is that these Queens hounds are indeed hung on the eaves of the stone house with the barb at the end of their tails, looking like bats.
It is not difficult to see from the unusual tail that these hounds have undergone some transformation. The size and barb of the tail are only part of the transformation. Their coat is also transformed like a chameleon, which can easily change the color of the surrounding environment. , perfectly hidden in the surrounding environment.
However, the transformation of these hounds has both advantages and disadvantages. Although they have gained huge size and powerful strength through transformation, their sensitive sense of smell has obviously been lost during the transformation. If they still retain the sense of smell that hounds should have, Then before Joan and Penny found them, they should have smelled the two of them.
"I'll deal with these hounds!" Petunia whispered after confirming the location and general situation of the hounds.
Although these Queens hounds have been modified and are very different from normal Queens hounds, through observation, Penny found that these Queens hounds still retain some hound habits. As a hunter, she knows how to use them The habits of these hounds are used to induce the hounds to do what they want.
However, after hearing Penny's proposal, Joan shook his head and said, "Leave it to me!"
"You?" Petunia looked at Joan and said, "Can it work? Don't mess it up!"
Joan didn't respond to Penny's question. He activated the implant in his body according to Professor Leo's method, and the whole person entered that strange state. The quince hounds were all transformed into inhuman monsters, and his mind was in a state of madness and confusion.
However, Leo's training for him during this period of time allowed him to maintain a trace of sobriety and calmness in this chaotic state, and he also used this trace of sobriety to start displaying the false and false heart sanctuary specially designed for him by Leo. Knight magic.
