Chapter 478 The Path
Bang! The windbreaker man's body fell to the ground, his face blurred.
"I have a strange feeling...Beyond the ordinary? Belong to some secret force? Most likely sent by my good mentor."
Fang Xing sneered.
It was precisely because he had some guesses and knew that there was another big fish that he was too lazy to keep it alive for interrogation.
But at this time, it is still necessary to touch the corpse.
He squatted down and searched the man in the windbreaker, and found 34 black coins and 17 rupees, all in a silk wallet.
In addition, there was a revolver, also a Black Snake II, which looked better maintained than the one in Fang Xing's hand.
Finally, there are a few small bottles.
Fang Xing opened them and smelled them, and found that one of the bottles contained an anesthetic similar to ether, and the other one had a pungent smell, which should be an antidote.
"Are the members of this mysterious society so down-to-earth?"
"I thought I would find some 'holy relics' or 'talismans', but in the end, there were only guns, drugs, and a little money... How is this different from ordinary kidnappers?"
Fang Xing complained.
Although, with his iron physique, he would be basically safe and sound even if shot in the head with a revolver, let alone drugs.
"Forget it...I should go talk to my good mentor."
…
night.
After finishing a day's classes, Monachi returned to the villa he rented near the School of Mechanical Engineering.
Compared to Fang Xing, a poor student, as a tutor in the School of Mechanical Engineering, his salary is extremely generous, enough to support him to live a relatively decent life.
The villa covers a large area and also comes with a small garden.
The most commonly planted plants in the garden are rosemary and wormwood.
Fang Xing had also visited him several times and knew that this mentor was not married and believed in celibacy. He also did not employ a maid, but was registered with the 'Urban Housekeeping Service Association' and had the association send cleaners to clean his house at regular intervals.
Originally, he thought the other person was just a loner.
But now it seems that it is entirely a cover for secret private association activities.
Monarch came to the cottage, took out a brass key and opened the door.
He was about to turn on the gas switch when a cold gun barrel suddenly pressed against the back of his head: "Don't move!"
Monachi shuddered all over and raised his hands obediently: "Sir... I didn't see your face. If you need money, there are 1,000 black ropes in the second drawer of the mahogany table in my study..."
Snap!
The gas lamp was turned on, and a soft bright yellow light fell.
"From your heartbeat and breathing... you have recognized me a long time ago, right, Master Monarch?"
Fang Xing did not hide his feelings, causing Monaqi to smile bitterly when he turned around.
"Yes, but I don't know why..." Monachi's face was full of bitter smile: "Fang Xing... you have a good future, think about your friends, think about your family... If you have any difficulties, just speak up, I will do my best to help you."
"The future, friends, family... I don't care at all." Fang Xing sneered.
Monachi's heart sank immediately.
He mentioned these things just to make Fang Xing have some concerns, but he didn't expect that this student would suddenly become so strange... even cold-blooded!
It was as if he had never really known this good student.
"You gave me the book The Beauty of Machinery on purpose, didn't you?"
Fang Xing held the barrel of the gun against Monachi'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..."
Monach looked puzzled and performed flawlessly.
Bang! Fang Xing responded by twisting his wrist and hitting Monach's head hard with the butt of his gun.
Monachi felt as if his head was hit by a hammer. He felt dizzy and even had a line of blood flowing down... From the corner of his eyes, nose bridge, all the way to the corner of his mouth. He licked it and found that it tasted very salty and fishy.
"Do you think I will still believe it?"
Fang Xing sneered, but was very disappointed in his heart.
According to his guess, even if Monaqi is not the leader of this mysterious force, he is at least a middle-level leader!
The result... is this? Physically and mentally, he is no different from an ordinary person, and he has no special abilities.
Fang Xing was even prepared to shoot the opponent in the head and turn him into a bloody monster.
But the result is... this Monachi is just like a real ordinary person!
No! After tasting his own blood, Monachi's face showed a hint of fanaticism, and his mouth widened: "It seems that you have me in your hands. So... 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 eagerness and desire: "I need... I need more... What is it?"
He desperately needed a mystical guide.
This kind of enthusiasm is naturally pretended.
However, if an ordinary person enters that other world for the first time, he or she will indeed become fanatical and irrational.
"You went in...the woodland?"
Monachi was a little surprised: "Your talent in 'machinery' is beyond my expectation... You became a 'Wanderer' the first time you came into contact with the classics!"
"Mechanical? Prowler?"
Fang Xing's heart moved.
"There are six paths to transcendence, and 'Mechanic' is one of them... We call those Beyonders who wander around the edge of the forest and cannot enter the 'Gate of Indeterminacy' 'Wanderers' and 'Apprentices'..."
Monachi said in a low voice: "Only by passing through the 'Gate of Indeterminacy' can one become a true 'Extraordinary Person'. Both the body and mind will undergo certain changes, and one will master the mysterious power... It took me three full years to approach the Thirsty Forest in my dreams, and another two years to see the 'Gate of Indeterminacy'... But I couldn't provide the offerings that the gatekeeper spirit required, so I could only wander outside the gate..."
"Fuck... who in my family understands? I thought I had offended a powerful secret society, but it turns out they are even weaker than me!"
Fang Xing had so much complaints in his heart that he didn't know how to vent them.
Although I have long known that the extraordinary in this world is declining, it is still hard to imagine that it has reached this point.
"That's not right. Maybe it's just that Monachi's sect is very weak..."
'Besides, even those sects without mysterious powers can deceive their followers into bankruptcy or even death...Now there is a real trace of extraordinary power...even if it is just a glimpse in a dream, it is enough to prove many things. The followers will naturally become more fanatical, and it is understandable that they will form a small group.'
Fang Xing calculated quickly and continued to interrogate: "So...you came to me?"
"Yes, one sacrifice can only allow one Wanderer to enter the Gate of Indeterminacy and become a true 'Extraordinary'! This is the experience of our 'Ring of Wonders'."
Monarch seemed to be speaking with some longing.
"The Ring of Strange Machinery, that is to say, there is a true 'Extraordinary' among you! Or is he taking the 'Road of Machinery'... In addition to the Path of Machinery, are there other mysterious paths?"
Fang Xing has a strong ability to understand.
"Yes, the extraordinary person who truly possesses extraordinary power is our leader - 'Silver Ring'..." Monachi sighed: "As for the paths other than the Mechanical Path, I don't know much. I only know that there are 'Blood' and 'Stone'... The Blood Path is good at the way of flesh and blood, and the Stone Path is good at transformation. There are many legends of the 'Philosopher's Stone' that can turn stone into gold..."
"Very good, you cooperated very well."
Fang Xing still pointed the gun at Monachi.
I have to say that this revolver is easy to use, at least it has a strong deterrent effect.
Although his fists were more powerful than artillery fire, Monachi didn't know that.
Instead of raising your fist, you might as well put the tip of the gun against the opponent's forehead. Wouldn't that be more cooperative?
"I admit... I had some bad thoughts at first, but I've regretted it. I really value your talent and want to absorb you into my organization... Together we can explore mysteries, pursue the extraordinary, and forge the most perfect machinery..."
Monarch said sincerely.
Fang Xing was silent for a while, then he said, "Are there any other extraordinary books like the book "The Beauty of Machinery"?"
Obviously he was not ready to join, but he still longed for mystery! Longed for extraordinary!
"Of course, I have another one in my hand, which is the real advanced theory. It's in my study." Monachi nodded repeatedly.
"take me!"
Fang Xing spoke, followed Monaqi to his study, and watched Monaqi walk to the desk naturally.
"I have set up a small mechanism here to deal with possible searches."
Monarch explained, twisting the ink bottle on the desk.
After a few regular rotations, the wall next to it suddenly opened, revealing a secret compartment.
In the secret compartment, there was only a pitch-black notebook and a golden pen that seemed to be used for taking notes.
"This is the book I copied from the leader - The Way of Strange Machines..."
Monarch introduced as he picked up a black notebook and a gold pen.
He handed the black notebook to Fang Xing, and casually played with the golden fountain pen in his hand and put the cap on it.
Bang! Suddenly!
There was a flash of fire.
This seemingly ordinary golden fountain pen is actually an exquisite mechanical creation, or a disguised musket! Although it only has one bullet, it is enough to turn the tide at the critical moment!
A hideous smile appeared on Monachi's face.
The extraordinary people of the Mechanical Path are good at making various precision instruments. 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 soon froze, because as expected, Fang Xing, who was shot in the head by the musket pen, did not retreat even a single step.
The skin on his forehead turned blue-black. He scratched his forehead with his fingers and pulled out a flattened brass shell. "Oh? A gun disguised as a pen? Quite creative..."
