Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 95: Kay's Mess

The enemy could appear from any direction, and Su'en didn't dare to be careless.

Suddenly, his ear moved, and he heard some movement.

In a flash, he quickly turned around and fired a few shots towards the window.

But these shots hit the metal, sparking for a moment.

In the instant he fired, he saw a figure's "arm" suddenly shoot out and grab onto the beam, pulling himself up and landing steadily on the fourth floor.

"The retractable iron claw? Captain of the Knight District, 'Anchor Hand' Park?"

Su'en saw the iconic steam-powered retractable iron claw and instantly guessed the identity of the person.

Seeing this person, he was not surprised, but rather relieved.

Without hesitation, he directly shot at the figure. But no matter where the bullets hit, they only caused sparks.

Seeing this, Su'en thought to himself, "Tsk tsk... as expected, it's difficult to harm this guy with a firearm, just like the legends say."

.......

After all, he was the captain, and Park reacted quickly to the sound of the gunshots.

He immediately determined Su'en's position in the smoke and shot out an iron claw.

Su'en was prepared and easily dodged the attack by predicting the angle of the attack.

Mechanical limbs had strong defense, but their lack of agility was very obvious.

The mechanical hook lock had a distinct sound of steam energy accumulation and release. Although this time was short, it was difficult for non-professionals to avoid. But for Su'en, who had strong auditory and nerve reaction speed, it posed no threat at all.

That's why he didn't even consider the idea of removing the implanted device when facing someone of the same level.

This lump of iron posed no threat to him!

......

With a "clang," the mechanical iron claw didn't grab the person but instead grabbed a large piece of cement from the load-bearing column.

Su'en was also surprised. If this thing grabbed a person, their bones would probably be crushed.

And at this moment, because of Park's distraction, nearly twenty members of the Steam Party suddenly rushed up the stairs.

Those guys somehow obtained a powerful hairdryer and blew it randomly at the smoke on the fourth floor. Due to the ventilation in the dilapidated building, the smoke quickly dissipated after this random blowing.

"Heh..."

Su'en raised an eyebrow and found these guys who tinkered with machines quite interesting. They even carried a hairdryer with them.

Moreover, just by blowing for a moment, Park also exposed Su'en's approximate position and shouted, "Seven o'clock direction, focus fire!"

Hearing this, Su'en had time to react.

He calmly took out a bulletproof board and hid behind a stone pillar, enduring a barrage of bullets.

Seeing that the stone pillar was about to break, he remained calm and counted in his mind, "3, 2, 1..."

The enemies had all arrived at their designated positions. Suddenly, three creepy dolls fell from the ceiling, landing right in the middle of the crowd.

They cackled strangely, as if pressing a pause button on the gunshots in the building.

In an instant, the entire floor was filled with their eerie laughter.

Mechanical armor could block bullets, but it couldn't block the wailing of psychic power!

Wailing Dollswere almost always accurate against non-professionals.

Moreover, they were now an advanced version of the creepy dolls.

Su'en wielded his dual guns and fired again.

Although the members of the Steam Party had various mechanical parts on their bodies, as well as bulletproof helmets and bulletproof vests, their chances of being hit were relatively low.

But in Su'en's eyes, as long as they didn't have full-body armor like "Anchor Hand" Park, there was no difference.

Eyes exposed, shoot the eyes. Neck exposed, shoot the neck. Knees exposed, shoot the knees... as long as there was an exposed area, it was a precise shot.

Su'en's eyes were cold, and his dual guns spewed tongues of fire, mercilessly harvesting the lives of these gunmen.

Blood splattered like fireworks, bursting in front of his eyes.

Taking advantage of the intervals between shots, he could also avoid Park's iron claw.

In just a few moments, nearly twenty people lay in a pool of blood.

Even if a shot didn't kill them, bullets would enter through the gaps in their bulletproof vests and helmets as they fell... precise follow-up shots to kill them.

.......

Park, the "Anchor Hand," in the distance was completely dumbfounded by the scene before him.

His subordinates died one after another, and he could only watch helplessly.

He realized that the guy with the dual guns completely ignored his intentions and completely disregarded the iron claw, mercilessly reaping lives like the Grim Reaper.

Park was dumbfounded.

Was there a "firearms expert" in this damn building? He had anticipated it, but this person...

Facing their entire reorganized squad alone, not only did he not run away, but he also dared to ambush them?

Every move was calm and composed, showing no signs of panic from beginning to end. Shooting and killing in the chaos, every shot precisely hit a vital spot, as if he were a cold-blooded monster.

Was this guy a monster...

This guy, facing their squad, showed no signs of panic at all?

And what the hell was that laughing doll that emitted a terrifying laugh?!Reality didn't give Park much time to think. In just a moment of shock, he suddenly saw the monster with dual guns kill all of his subordinates and then turn his gaze towards him.

Park thought to himself, "This is bad," as he tried to control his mechanical arm to grab the guy. However, before the pressure of the mini steam boiler could build up, he saw the person on the other side aim the gun at his head.

A firearm?

Even alchemical bullets couldn't break through his mask.

But at this moment, Park looked at the expressionless face and suddenly felt less confident.

It shouldn't... be able to break through, right?

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

It sounded like two shots, but he only saw a flash of fire in his eyes.

Two armor-piercing bullets connected end to end, hitting the same spot almost at the same time.

In his final moment of life, Park watched as cracks appeared on the mask, and then the bullets entered his eye sockets, plunging him into eternal darkness.

.......

Suren looked at the fallen lump of iron in front of him and muttered to himself, "My proficiency in [Secret Technique: Double Shot] is still a bit lacking when it comes to hitting agile professionals. But it's just right for dealing with clumsy targets like this."

If it were another first-tier professional, they might have been able to do something about this Park.

Unfortunately... they encountered Suren.

After killing a fellow first-tier professional, Suren's face remained expressionless.

Without delay, he walked over and swallowed the floating mist above the corpse.

"You obtained 'Park Cecil's Memory Fragments *3'."

"You obtained some information: 'The day for delivering next Friday has come again. Damn it, we've already captured all the orphans and beggars in the neighborhood. It's barely enough this time, but where am I going to get so many people next time...'"

"You obtained some 'Intermediate Mechanical Knowledge'..."

"You gained insight into 'Mechanical Limb Modification Techniques', Mechanical Manufacturing Proficiency +77."

"You mastered the blueprint for [Park's Mechanical Elastic Arm]..."

"Spirit Power +0.11."

"Huh... I actually directly extracted a complete mechanical blueprint? Hehe, this guy from the Steam Party really has a lot of mechanical knowledge."

Suren wasn't surprised that he could extract mechanical experience from a corpse, but it was the first time he had extracted a mechanical blueprint from a corpse.

But he had also heard that this Park was a well-known inventor in the Steam Party, skilled in designing and modifying mechanical limbs. The steam claw on his own hand was a limb he designed, so it made sense that he had the blueprint in his mind.

As for the information he extracted, it was incomplete and Suren didn't pay much attention to it.

After wiping out the team, he didn't waste any time and started harvesting souls, pulling out the spoils from the bodies on the ground.

.......

On the other hand.

Because Suren had to deal with the group of people who broke into the dilapidated building and there was no sniper suppressing them, Kay and the Green Street group downstairs were already in a desperate situation.

Just as Park led his men to attack the dilapidated building, the enemies across the alley also began to charge.

Kay's team was being pushed back, and out of the forty or fifty people, there were still seven or eight intact.

The enemies were increasing in number, and gunshots could be heard from all directions.

Kay knew that it was pointless to hold on any longer and shouted, "Brothers, retreat! Hold on for a little longer, our reinforcements should be here!"

"What about you, Captain?"

"You guys go first!"

Kay glanced at the dilapidated building not far away, hesitated for a moment in his eyes, and made a decision in an instant.

His best option now was to try to escape into the alley and avoid the enemy's main force. With his speed, it would be difficult for the enemy, who were not professionals, to catch up.

But as he listened to the intensifying gunfire from the dilapidated building, he knew that Suren was in trouble.

If the gunfire hadn't stopped, it meant that no one had died yet.

Gritting his teeth, he charged back.

"You guys go first and find a place to fight in the alley. I'll go save Suren!"

Judging from the intensity of the gunfire in the building, Kay knew that there were at least twenty or thirty enemies.

With almost a certain death in mind, he rushed in, but before he could reach the second floor, the sound of gunfire suddenly stopped.

Kay's heart sank, suspecting that Suren was probably in grave danger.

But he didn't retreat. With a fierce gleam in his eyes, he silently approached, intending to assassinate a few enemies.

Then, on the stairs from the third floor to the fourth floor, he discovered several bodies.

As he took a few more steps, he felt that something was off.

Because he didn't hear any movement...

The fourth floor was deathly silent.

Huh... why is there no one?

Kay cautiously poked his head out, wanting to observe the situation on the fourth floor, and suddenly saw a gun pointed at his head.

Just as he was about to dodge, he suddenly froze in place, his eyes filled with disbelief as he said, "Suren, my brother?"

Kay never expected that the one who survived was Suren, all alone!

.......

Suren had heard the footsteps long ago.

He thought it was the enemy, but he didn't expect it to be Kay.

Looking at Kay's astonished expression, he put away his firearm and continued to collect his spoils, calmly asking, "Captain, why are you here?"

"I... I came..."

At this moment, Kay somehow felt that his words were stumbling out of his mouth.

He walked up to the fourth floor and saw the bodies scattered on the ground. The words "I came to save you" were stuck in his throat and couldn't be spoken.What...what did I see?

Kay was stunned for a full two seconds before he came back to his senses, trying hard to make his brain believe what he saw in front of him.

There were a total of thirty-four bodies on the third floor stairs and the fourth floor.

Are all these people dead?

Upon closer inspection, there were no extra wounds on the bodies, almost all of them were killed with a single shot.

Obviously, this was the work of the same person.

And when he looked again at the body with the iron hook mechanical arm by the window, wasn't that Captain "Anchor Hand" Park from the Knight District?

Seeing this, Kay looked towards the man who was busy cleaning up the battlefield, completely in chaos.

He...he single-handedly took down a reorganization squad of the Steam Party?

Including a veteran professional of the Steam Party?

Without waiting for him to think further, Su'en looked up and smiled, urging him, "Captain, why are you standing there in a daze? Hurry up and help clean up the battlefield. Otherwise, we'll have trouble with the higher-ups later..."
