Chapter 478 Path Bang! The body of the man in the trench coat fell to the ground, his face already blurry. "I have a strange feeling... Extraordinary people? Belonging to some secret force? Most likely they were sent by my good mentor." Fang Xing sneered. Precisely because he had some guesses and knew that there was another big fish, he didn't bother to keep him alive for interrogation. But at this time, it is still necessary to touch the corpse. He knelt down, groped around on the man in the windbreaker, and found 34 black ropes and 17 rupees, all of which were placed in a silk wallet. In addition, there is the revolver, which is also the Black Snake Type 2 and seems to be better maintained than the one in Fang Xing's hand. Finally, there are a few vials.
Fang Xing opened it and smelled it, and found that one bottle was an anesthetic similar to ether, and the other one had a pungent smell and should be an antidote. "Are the members of this mysterious society so down-to-earth?" "I thought I could find some 'sacred relics', 'talismans' and the like, but in the end I only had guns, drugs, and a little money... How is this different from ordinary kidnappers?" Fang Xing complained. Although, with his iron physique, let alone being drugged, he would be basically safe even if he was shot in the head with a revolver. "Forget it... let's go talk to my good mentor." … night. Monarch finished the day's classes and returned to the villa he rented near the Mechanical College. Compared to Fang Xing, a poor student, as a tutor at the Mechanical College, his salary is extremely generous, enough to support him in living a more decent life. The villa occupies a large area and comes with a small garden. In the garden, rosemary and wormwood are most commonly planted. Fang Xing has also visited several times and knows that this tutor is not married, believes in celibacy, and does not hire a maid. Instead, he names himself in the 'City Housekeeping Association' and asks the other party to send cleaners to clean the house every once in a while. Originally, he thought it was because the other party had a withdrawn personality. But now it seems that it is entirely a cover for secretive private association activities. Monarch came to the small villa, took out a brass key, and opened the door. He was about to turn the gas lamp switch when a cold gun barrel suddenly pressed against the back of his head: "Don't move!" Monarch was agitated and raised his hands obediently: "Sir... I didn't see your face. If you need money, there is 1,000 black cords in the second drawer of the mahogany table in my study..." Click!
The gas lamp was turned on, and a bright yellow and soft light fell. "Judging from your heartbeat and breathing... you have recognized me a long time ago, right, Master Monarch?" Fang Xing made no secret of it, causing a wry smile to appear on the face of Monarch who turned around. "Yes, but I don't know why..." Monaqi's face was filled with a bitter smile: "Fang Xing... you have a good future, think about your friends, think about your family... if you have difficulties , just ask, I will try my best to help you." "The future, friends, family... I don't care at all." Fang Xing sneered. Monarch's heart suddenly sank. He mentioned this just to make Fang Xing have some scruples, but he didn't expect that this student would suddenly become extremely strange...even cold-blooded! It was as if he had never really known this good student. "That copy of "The Beauty of Machinery" was given to me on purpose, right?" Fang Xing put the barrel of the gun against Monarch's head, as if he would shoot at any time: "And the person who was following me... was also sent out by you." "I don't understand what you mean..." Monarch looked puzzled and performed flawlessly. Bang! The answer was that Fang Xing twisted his wrist and hit Monarch **** the head with the **** of his gun. Monarch felt as if his head had been hit by a hammer. His whole body was groggy, and even a line of blood flowed down... From the corners of his eyes, the bridge of his nose, and all the way to his mouth, he licked it and found that the taste was very fishy and salty. "Do you think I will still believe it?" Fang Xing sneered, but felt very disappointed. According to his guess, this Monarch, even if he is not the leader of this mysterious force, is at least a middle-level person! The result...that's it? Physically and mentally, they are no different from ordinary people, and they have no special abilities. Fang Xing was even prepared to shoot the opponent in the head and turn the opponent into a flesh and blood monster. The result is...this Monarch looks like a real ordinary person! No! After tasting his own blood, a hint of fanaticism appeared on Monarch's face, and he grinned: "It seems that you have convinced me, then... Fang Xing, my good student, what do you want to do?" "Mysterious, otherworldly...I saw the woodland, I saw the door..." Fang Xing's eyes also showed enthusiasm and desire: "I need... I need more... what exactly is that?" He urgently needs a guide in mysticism. This kind of fanaticism is naturally an act. However, if an ordinary person enters that other world for the first time, he will indeed become fanatical and irrational.
"You went into...the woodland?" Monaqi was a little surprised: "Your talent in 'mechanics' is indeed beyond my expectation... You actually became a 'Prowler' for the first time when you came into contact with the classics!" "Machine? Prowler?" Fang Xing's heart moved. "There are six extraordinary paths, and 'mechanical' is one of them... Extraordinary people who wander on the edge of the forest and cannot enter the 'Uncertain Gate' are called 'wanderers' and 'apprentices'..." Monaqi's voice was low: "Only by passing through the 'Uncertain Gate' can one truly become an 'Extraordinary'. The body and mind will undergo certain changes, and master the mysterious power... It took me three years to achieve this goal." I kept approaching the forest of hunger and thirst in my dreams, and it took me another two years to see the 'Uncertain Door'... But I couldn't meet the offerings required by the gatekeeper spirit, so I could only keep wandering outside the door..." ‘What the hell…who knows about my family? I thought I had gotten into trouble with a powerful secret society, but it turned out that they were even better than me! ’ Fang Xing had such a nagging feeling in his heart that he didn't know how to spit it out. Although I have long known that the extraordinary in this world is declining, it is still a bit unimaginable to reach this point. 'That's not right, maybe it's just that the sect that Monarch belongs to is very weak...' 'Besides, even those sects without mystical power can deceive believers into losing their money or even dying... Nowadays, there is truly a trace of extraordinary power... Even just a glimpse in a dream is enough to prove many things, and believers will naturally become more fanatical. , it is understandable to form a small group. ’ Fang Xing quickly calculated and continued to interrogate: "So...you came to me?" "Yes, a sacrifice can only allow a wanderer to enter the Undetermined Gate and become a true 'Extraordinary'! This is the experience of our 'Ring of Strange Weapons'." Monarch seemed a little eager to be authentic. "The Ring of Strange Mechanics, that is to say, is there a true 'Extraordinary' among you! Or is he following the 'Mechanical Path'... In addition to the Mechanical Path, are there other mysterious paths?" Fang Xing has a strong understanding ability. "Yes, the extraordinary person who truly masters extraordinary power is our leader - 'Silver Ring'..." Monaqi sighed: "As for the ways other than the mechanical way, I don't know much, I only know that there are still ways. There are 'blood' and 'stone'... The blood path is good at the way of flesh and blood, while the stone path is good at transformation. There are many legends of the 'Philosopher's Stone' that turn stone into gold..." "Very good, you're very cooperative." Fang Xing still pointed the barrel of his gun at Monarch. I have to say that this revolver is easy to use, at least it has a strong deterrent effect. Although his fists were stronger than cannon fire, Monarch didn't know that. If you raise your fist, you might as well put the tip of the gun to the opponent's head. Wouldn't that be more cooperative? "I admit... I had some bad thoughts at first, but I have regretted it. I really value your talent and want to absorb you into my organization... Together we can explore the mystery, pursue the extraordinary, and build the most perfect machine... " Monarch said sincerely. Fang Xing couldn't help but be silent for a while, and then said: "That "Beauty of Machinery", are there any other similar extraordinary books?" Obviously he wasn't ready to join, but still longed for the mystery! Desire to be extraordinary! "Of course, I still have a copy of the real advanced theory in my hand. It's in my study." Monarch nodded repeatedly. "take me!"
Fang Xing opened his mouth and followed Monarch to his study room, watching Monarch walk to the desk naturally. "I have set up a small mechanism here to deal with possible searches." Monarch explained while twisting the ink bottle on the desk. After several regular rotations, the wall next to it suddenly opened, revealing a hidden grid. In the dark room, there was only a dark notebook and a golden pen that seemed to be used for taking notes. "This is the classic book I copied from the leader - "The Way of Strange Weapons"..." Monarch introduced it while picking up a black notebook and a gold pen. He handed the black notebook to Fang Xing, accidentally playing with the golden pen in his hand, and pressed the cap of the pen. Bang! suddenly! There was a flash of fire. This ordinary-looking golden pen turned out to be an exquisite mechanical creation, or a disguised firecracker! Although there is only one bullet, it is enough to turn the tide at the critical moment! A ferocious smile appeared on Monarch's face. Extraordinary people in the Mechanical Path are good at making various precision instruments, and this ‘Fire Gun Pen’ was specially given to him by the leader as a reward for his meritorious service. This time, it really worked. But his smile quickly froze, because Fang Xing, who had expected to be shot in the head by a gun pen, didn't even take a step back. The skin on his forehead turned blue and black. He scratched his forehead with his fingers and pulled out a flattened brass cartridge case: "Oh? A firearm disguised as a pen? It's quite creative..." The second update will be later
