Although I don’t know if that “gentleman” is really interested in accepting the commission to forge spider plant equipment, it is at least certain that there is such a master in the outer city.

Su Lun also felt a little emotional, there was really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon in the black market.

As for the identity of the mysterious gentleman, he guessed that he probably came from the inner city.

After all, combat-type professionals can still advance through fighting, but such a profession that requires a huge amount of professional knowledge can only be cultivated in a place like the inner city with a complete inheritance. For example, Black Tower Alchemy

Academy, or a large organization like the "Alchemy Guild"...

Su Lun guessed that he was probably another powerful person with a shady background.

But it was better for him to stay out of the public eye, which meant that the farther the inner city relationship was, the safer the dealings would be.

...

It was still early when Su Lun came out of the black market. He rode his motorcycle back to Green Street and plunged into the arena.

Recently, there have been death matches involving professionals, and he came back just in time to catch up with the finale of the next few games.

I gained a wave of corpse experience, and during this period I went to resolve several fights with Kai and others. The night passed like this.

In the early morning, Su Lun rode his motorcycle to Ginkgo Street.

He went to buy bread for breakfast, and suddenly thought of something, so he posted a note behind the mailbox at the door of Bellman Bread, No. 14 Ginkgo Street.

Su Lun wanted to contact the mysterious pharmacist to buy some more special potions. He found the [abnormal monster aversion agent] that saved Reina last time very useful.

Keep a few more, they may come in handy in the future.

After leaving the note, Su Lun didn't go far and looked at the people approaching the mailbox from a distance.

Sure enough, a young man appeared not long after. He found the note behind the mailbox, looked around, then tore it up and threw it away.

Su Lun bit the bread in his hand, suddenly became interested, and followed him.

Although the half-year-old child looked back carefully many times and ran into uninhabited alleys several times, he had a certain sense of anti-tracking. But Su Lun's [advanced tracking skills] and the steel cable in the mechanical gloves made it easy for him.

The ground followed.

Finally, the half-grown boy came around again and appeared on Camellia Street, four blocks away from Ginkgo Street.

This is a civilian neighborhood in the outer city. The streets are filled with dilapidated gray buildings and "iron box houses" stacked with containers and steel frames.

Su Lun leaned on the roof of a small three-story building with dark red tiles, and calmly watched the half-grown boy who had taken the note rush into an alley, where he met several of his accomplices.

In an alley where sewage flows, a pale corpse that has been dead for an unknown period of time is lying in a garbage heap. More than a dozen large gray rats are lying on the corpse to eat, making "chichichichi" noises. They are not

Not afraid of people, he stared at the few humans at the entrance of the alley while eating.

"Hey, Luke, aren't you supposed to go to Ginkgo Street to 'work' today? Why are you back?"

"Don't stand in my way, I have a mission from Brother Danny. I got the letter!"

"Oh, does anyone want to buy potions? I really hope that customer buys more, so we can have money to buy bread."

"Beta, don't say such things again. It will make Brother Danny very embarrassed..."

"..."

Su Lun listened to the conversation between several people and probably knew the name of the pharmacist.

The half-grown boy ran into a dilapidated building and never came out again.

Su Lun didn't follow him in anymore. He suddenly thought that there was no other meaning in following him, he was just out of curiosity.

Then I was afraid that this line would be broken, so that if I needed any special medicine, I would still have a way out.

After finding the place, we returned the same way.

........

Not long after, Su Lun returned to No. 88 Ginkgo Street and hired someone to move several large boxes into the small Western-style building.

No one noticed that among the pile of gifts, there was a box that looked like a cello bag, which contained a large black sickle.

A new resident moved into the "Haunted Mansion", probably because he felt unlucky and no neighbors came to say hello.

Su Lun was also happy to see this.

After the mover left, he carefully checked the entire house for the third time and found nothing unusual. Then he set up some small warning devices on the window sill, roof and each door, and closed all the curtains.

After doing all this, he plunged into the basement.

He installed several gun targets on the basement walls and moved down the sandbags and equipment used for training.

After a little decoration, the training room became a little more interesting.

The rent has been paid half a year in advance, and this small building will be his residence for a long time to come.

Su Lun knew that although he had the talent of [Death Reaper], his skills and knowledge in all aspects had improved rapidly. However, the shortcoming was also obvious, that is, the talent had almost no effect on the physical body.

If he wanted his body to adapt to the explosion of skills in his mind, he had to practice hard on his own.

However, there are a lot of black technologies in this world, and body enhancement is also possible.

In several large boxes, there is a "steam energy ultra-low temperature physiotherapy device" that can help muscles recover quickly, and a "neuromuscular bioelectrical stimulator" that can accelerate muscle growth...

This is a good thing I found in a black market machine shop before.

These iron lumps were taken from scrapped armories in the inner city and sold on the black market, presumably with the intention of dismantling the parts and using them for other purposes.

After all, few people in the outer city know what these instruments are used for.

But after Su Lun peeled off the memory of the Black Tower Academy assistant in the cave, he learned that these instruments were "military-grade instruments" used by newcomers in the training department of large organizations in the inner city.

Although the model of the instrument is a bit older, it is indeed a good treasure to assist in strengthening the body.

When these two instruments are used properly, the efficiency of physical training can be improved several times.

Su Lun fiddled with the instrument and found that it worked normally, so he didn't take any more care.

.......

After simply decorating the basement, Su Lun walked to the corner and took out the black sickle.

Talun felt that it would be a waste if such a powerful weapon was only used as a tool for gambling with the enemy.

He wanted to try to see if there was any other way to avoid the backlash of the curse on the scythe.

As a puppet master, his first reaction is to use puppets.

Then, he actually controlled the puppet to hold the scythe, and drew a tiny space crack toward the wall.

I didn't dare to scratch too big, just a crack as long as a fingernail.

To avoid backlash and death on the spot.

An hour later, Su Lun, who had taken off his clothes and stood in front of the mirror, preparing to give himself first aid, suddenly felt a cold feeling on his buttocks, and a bloody arrow shot out.

It's an embarrassing spot, but fortunately it's not dangerous.

"Knew it..."

Su Lun sighed slightly, took the medicine powder and sprinkled it on the wound on his butt.

Failed as expected.

If it was so easy to get stuck, Su Lun felt that the previous owner of the black scythe must have used it to kill everyone.

"Ordinary puppets are useless. It seems that the curse of the sickle should be traced back to the user. It is most likely to target 'living bodies', 'energy sources', or targets with some other vital signs..."

Su Lun roughly thought of some principles of tracing the origin of the sickle's backlash, but he did not completely lose interest in trying it.

He further analyzed: "There are [substitute puppets] among high-level puppets that can transfer injuries to the main body, so that may be possible. Or you can directly control other people's limbs with steel wires and let others slash them, which should also be able to avoid the backlash of the curse."

..."

As a puppet master, he immediately thought of these two methods.

But for now, he is not good enough to create a [replacement puppet]. And he still has a long way to go to control others to use scythes. He has just started to control puppets. If he wants to control them as he pleases, there is still a long way to go.

Very far away.

Thinking of this, Su Lun moved his hands and fingers frequently, and the two puppets in the room also danced happily in circles, habitually practicing puppet control.

He suddenly thought of something, and muttered to himself: "If I could peel off the corpses of a few puppet masters, my control skills would probably improve very quickly... It's a pity that puppet masters are a rare profession in the first place.

You may not even be able to find a few.”

.......

Su Lun's multi-tasking skills allowed Su Lun to be distracted and think about other things while controlling the puppet with both hands.

He couldn't spare any time to do other things anyway, so his thoughts suddenly drifted away.

Looking at this house, Su Lun didn't feel sleepy. Suddenly, he instinctively thought of the fact that people had died in this house.

Based on his experience of watching 800 horror movies, there must be something wrong with a "haunted house" where people die in succession.

With this thought, Su Lun's mind became active: "Let me think about it, assuming there is something wrong with this house... Then besides the distortion caused by dark spiritual power, what other reasons are there?"

At this moment, countless scenes from horror movies flashed through his mind, and Su Lun's eyes gradually became deeper.

Then, he quickly analyzed several possibilities of death.
