Chapter 475

Swish!

Half an hour later.

A group of servants were cleaning up the messy living room downstairs.

In the study upstairs.

Shi Lei was flipping through account books, books, and several secret transmissions with blood-red covers.

"The 'Blood Dark Ritual,' 'Unclean Secret Mantra,' 'Charati Psalms'..."

"Is this the mysterious inheritance of my family? Weak... too weak."

Two puffs of white steam came out of his nostrils, making Butler Wu, Father Shi, and Shi Ding beside him shudder.

Practicing Secret Martial Arts changes one's temperament.

Although there is the "Mechanized Mind," this is only an auxiliary combat secret technique and cannot be activated around the clock.

Shi Lei glanced at Butler Wu and found that the other party's injuries had healed quite a bit.

At this time, accompanied by taking some strange secret medicines, the burns were recovering rapidly, tearing off dead skin and presenting brand new skin.

"Blood Path extraordinary... besides being a bit worth seeing in terms of recovery, the rest is bullshit, completely inferior to my Martial Way! From now on, I will take charge of all the mysterious side affairs of the family."

Shi Ding was a bit unhappy, looking at Shi Lei, but didn't dare to refute.

Butler Wu wanted to speak but stopped, also not daring to ask.

"Why? Do you want to learn my Secret Martial Arts? I'll teach you..."

Shi Lei smiled: "As long as you enter my Secret Sect and accept my precepts... you can obtain extraordinary power. Of course, I don't have the qualification for empowerment yet, but I will soon."

"Young Master!"

Butler Wu's eyes lit up, and he bowed immediately.

Seeing this scene, Father Shi couldn't help but turn his head away, knowing that his family's strongest combat power had defected.

These extraordinaries always have an extraordinary interest and fanaticism for mystery.

And his own son, he didn't know what happened, suddenly became extremely strong.

"Not just Butler Wu, anyone who wants to learn can enter, I guarantee you'll learn."

Shi Lei smiled.

He didn't mind the spread of Secret Martial Arts; in fact, he wished it would spread more—as long as it was empowered by him.

"Now... the opportunity for our Shi family to advance by leaps and bounds and master the entire Black Ring City and even the Weiminghan region has come..."

"Find Silver Ring! This is the task I give you. To join the Secret Sect, you must give alms and show piety... you must do this at the risk of your life! Understand?"

Swept by Shi Lei's gaze, the three of them, including Butler Wu, lowered their heads immediately...

The entire Shi family moved, and the network of relationships was unimaginable to outsiders.

Not to mention, the "Ring of Strange Mechanics" led by Silver Ring was just a small society that rose up relying on a few secret transmissions, with only "Silver Ring" as a proper extraordinary.

In this world, because "Enlightened Ones" need to spread influence in the mortal world, they often rub, copy, and spread low-rank secret transmissions...

The result is that mystery has never gone away, and occasionally one or two small societies will pop up, never to be eradicated.

"Silver Ring" was clearly one of them.

Half a day later.

Late at night.

"Silver Ring, real name 'Saville Yechi'... originally a down-and-out person who came to Black Ring City to work, worked as a mechanic at the 'Sanson Factory' for three years, then suddenly resigned... just a few months later, the coworkers who didn't get along with him and the superiors who deducted his wages met with misfortune one after another... then, the Sanson Factory went bankrupt and was taken over by Saville at a price so cheap it was almost a gift... now, he can be considered a small factory owner in Black Ring City."

Shi Lei looked at the report and nodded: "He organizes mysterious society activities with his own factory as the headquarters? It's just right that I set off now and wipe him out in one pot..."

"Young Master..." Butler Wu hesitated: "As far as I know, although Saville's occult attainments are vulnerable, he secretly controls the 'Blood Axe Gang' and has recruited quite a few desperadoes... he might even have gotten a batch of firearms and formed a factory guard team..."

In fact, in the battles of low-rank mysterious people, a firearm is more useful than anything else.

"In other words, there is a group of gunmen?"

Shi Lei walked out of the door and got into his extended sedan: "Old Wu... if it were you, what would you do?"

Butler Wu got into the car, pondered for a while, and answered: "Use the cover of talismans to attempt assassination; this is the simplest method. Besides that, it is poisoning, continuously mixing trace amounts of 'blood poison' into the factory's food and drink, and triggering it all at once when we attack..."

"Sure enough, mysterious people are not good at frontal combat..."

Shi Lei said: "But I am different, I am... a combatant!"

Late at night.

Sanson Factory.

As a small factory that works for major companies and provides various parts, it has very strict security.

Because Silver Ring Saville holds many society activities in the factory.

With the conditions of the factory at this time, occupational diseases are almost unavoidable, and if child labor is used, the vast majority of child laborers won't live past three years!

Getting some out of it to satisfy cruel and bloody sacrifices is clearly enough, and it's not easy to be discovered.

The captain of the factory guard team, the number one thug recognized as the factory manager, "Hyena" Tulip Duke, was smoking.

Accompanied by the cigarette butt flickering in the dark night, his mood was also very uneasy: 'Meng Tiandong actually died... was he killed by his student?'

'The leader has already felt the danger. The frequency of sacrifices has been increasing significantly recently. Is it to forge talismans and other strange objects to enhance strength?'

Just as he was thinking, he saw a figure suddenly walk out of the darkness ahead.

"Who is it?" Tulip Duke immediately pressed his hand on the holster.

As the captain of the factory guard team and the boss's number one thug, he was the sky of this factory area. He often beat workers and even bullied female workers, and no one dared to resist.

Encountering situations during night patrols, he followed one principle—shoot first, ask questions later.

Bang!

Seeing the figure continue to advance, Tulip Duke pulled his gun and fired without hesitation.

Whoosh!

The figure flashed, and he felt a scorching steam rushing toward his face, couldn't help but let out a miserable scream.

Then, he heard the sound of his own arm bone fracturing.

"Who is it?"

"Captain Tulip Duke... not good, a monster!"

"Go get the steam rifles quickly!"

Just as Tulip Duke fell, other team members also acted quickly.

If it were just ordinary factory guards and bodyguards, suddenly encountering a strong enemy attack, retreating directly would be common sense.

But this factory guard team was all believers brainwashed by Silver Ring, so the performance was different.

Some even carried out heavy rifles; this was contraband that Saville had racked his brains to get.

Once discovered by the sheriff, it would be very troublesome.

But at this time, seeing his companions falling one after another in the dark night, they couldn't care about this anymore.

Bang!

The steam rifle fired, but didn't hit the black shadow.

"With my current iron physique, I still can't resist the bullets of a steam rifle... but I just need to be faster than your fingers pulling the trigger."

Shi Lei's eyes were cold, his whole body's actions like a calculated machine, and there was a taste of "the supreme person moves like a machine."

Bang!

The steam rifle fired again, followed by a chaotic reload.

Pity, this gunman never had the chance to fire a third shot.

The figure flashed, and Shi Lei had already arrived a few meters in front of him, the muscles on his back bulging like a turbocharger.

Swish!

The pores on his fist opened, and steam was actually released, hitting the gunman a few meters away, causing the gunman to scream and fall to the ground.

"Reading combat novels before, they always said true energy release... I finally understand now, true energy is not true energy, but steam!"

"Steam! Is invincible!"

Shi Lei's whole body skin was cyan-black, rushing into the factory workshop.

Here, a group of people in black robes were gathered together, seemingly startled by the gunfire outside.

"Ring of Strange Mechanics? Where is Saville?"

Then, they saw a cyan-black little giant smash through the wall and rush in, the opening and closing of the pores on his whole body like steam engine valves, releasing astonishing steam.

"Go to hell!"

Saville was thin, his eyes deep in his face, but at this time he was the one who could best feel the terror of the enemy.

He didn't care, his right hand reached into the altar flowing with blood, and when he pulled it out again, it was actually covered with a layer of mechanics, turning into a mechanical arm.

It looked like the external armor skeleton of the interstellar era.

This holy relic, the "Hand of Strange Mechanics," was exchanged by Saville from a certain mechanical secret place in the deep sea layer of the Ether Plane after sacrificing I don't know how many people, which could allow him to exert astonishing combat power.

Of course, after using it, he still had to return the "Hand of Strange Mechanics."

He sacrificed so much, actually just to exchange for one use right.

"Do it!"

Other people in black robes dodged one after another, and some threw one or two talismans toward Shi Lei.

The colorful radiance of the talismans flickered, landing on Shi Lei and bringing various negative effects.

This kind of battle array, even if a Rank 2 "Deep One" came, would have to drink hatred on the spot.

Even a Rank 3 "Enlightened One" would have to be wary.

Unless it was the kind of sect specializing in physical strengthening, otherwise, they would definitely not be so reckless.

But for Shi Lei... what mental impact, curse? Mechanized Mind could handle it completely.

As for hidden weapons, flying knives, revolver bullets, etc., none could break his defense.

His eyes were focused, with only Saville as the enemy, the turbocharger behind him pressurized again, causing the "steam" in his body to surge, and the Great Pendulum Punch roared out.

This is—Turbocharged Style!

Bang!

The cyan-black fist collided with the mechanical arm, and the two actually felt evenly matched in mid-air?

"No!"

Saville's face showed shock and anger, feeling a sharp pain in the position where the mechanical arm was connected to his shoulder.

Then... streams of high-temperature steam, like sharp arrows, directly smeared his face!

"Weakling!"

Shi Lei grabbed Saville's face and lifted him up entirely: "With your level, you still dare to trouble my Master?"

"Who... is your Master?" Saville's entire face was already disfigured, barely squeezing words out from the gaps in his exposed teeth.

"My Master is naturally the Lord of the Secret Sect..."

A ferocious smile appeared on the corner of Shi Lei's mouth, his palm exerting force.

Bang!

The headless corpse fell, and the remaining members of the "Ring of Strange Mechanics" had their faith collapse one by one, falling into a state of madness and dullness...
