Chapter 16 Sand Scorpion
　
This police badge was naturally obtained from the clock tower space last time.

Because it was placed in the storage ring, it was brought out directly.

Suren just wanted to try it out, but he didn't expect this police badge to be quite useful.

The blonde miss covered her mouth with one hand, her tone suddenly becoming respectful as she exclaimed softly, "Oh, Officer Johnny, please wait a moment."

Then, Suren smoothly saw the registration records.

After flipping through them, he successfully saw the check-in records for rooms 1021, 1055, 1071, and 1099.

The registration was all under the same name, Tiger &

They were from the "Sand Scorpion Troupe." The troupe leader was the temporary captain who came in this time, a well-known veteran professional. Of the sixty-odd people who came in this time, this troupe accounted for half, so they could be said to have absolute say.

That person looked at Suren's clueless expression and reminded him with a fake smile, "Brother, you're really something. I've never heard of anyone being able to pry information out of those two front desk girls. What exactly did you say to them?"

Another person also flashed the flintlock pistol at his waist, a mocking smile on his face. "Share the information and let us hear it. Since we're exploring this space together, it's fate. We should get rich together."

These guys' intentions were already very clear.

They just wanted to seize the information by force.

This kind of situation was commonplace in the wilderness scavenging, where scavengers were playing with their lives to earn money, and there were few good people among them.

Embezzlement, robbery, seizure...

Ordinary solo scavengers could only suffer in silence.

Suren knew that he was being treated like a pushover. He didn't even raise an eyebrow when he saw them revealing their flintlock pistols.

He didn't plan to pay attention to them.

Killing people here would definitely involve the hotel security, and getting into trouble would greatly affect his subsequent plans.

He glanced at the two and left directly.

The two were stunned for a moment by Suren's attitude. They chased after him, angrily saying, "Hey, are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I said?!"

Hearing that the other party had already drawn his gun, Suren turned around and asked calmly, "Do you dare to shoot?"

As he spoke, he glanced out of the corner of his eye to see that the security guards' attention had already been drawn over, and the murderous intent in his eyes disappeared.

He sneered and walked away, ignoring the two bluffing guys.

.......

Sand Scorpion Troupe?

If they really didn't know what was good for them...

Suren didn't mind sending them on their way early.

Suren didn't waste time entangling with two insignificant small characters and went straight to the hotel's banquet hall.

It was dinner time, and almost all the hotel's tenants were eating here.

Now was the best time to observe the situation of the guests in each room.

But the hotel's banquet hall had guards, and they needed to show their room card and meal ticket to enter.

When Suren arrived, there were already seven or eight scavengers squatting there. They occasionally went up to chat, seemingly trying to pry some information out of the mouths of the passing guests.

But obviously, the effect was minimal.

These NPCs directly ignored those "strange" behaviors that were beyond their understanding.

Suren walked straight over, showed the room card and meal ticket he had just obtained from the front desk lady, and walked straight in.

This move naturally aroused great suspicion among the scavengers at the door.

"Hey... that guy just now, seems to be a scavenger with us?"

"He doesn't have black qi on him, he must be a scavenger."

"Strange, how could he have a room card key?"

"..."

It wasn't that scavengers couldn't sneak into the banquet hall, but they all used shady means. Some assassins climbed the walls to sneak in, some stole maid outfits and pretended to be waiters, some attracted the security guards' attention and sneaked in...

But there was no one who swaggered in.

Seeing Suren's operation, the scavengers were naturally greatly surprised.

At this time, the two "Sand Scorpion Troupe" guys who had been encountered at the front desk also got rid of the security guards and happened to come and see this scene.

Watching Suren go in, the mechanical arm's face turned ashen, and he cursed angrily, "Damn it, that guy must have gotten some important information at the front desk. Wood, you guard here, I'll go and inform the boss!"

.......

The banquet hall was very lively, with about one or two hundred people dining.

The lights were bright, illuminating the restaurant in an orange glow.

Well-dressed gentlemen in suits and ladies in low-cut gowns were dining elegantly.

The tables were filled with all kinds of seemingly delicious and beautiful food and fruits.

On the stage not far away, geisha were performing unrestrained and hot dances.

Suren found a position where he could see the stage directly and sat down, scanning the dining guests with his eyes. He didn't see the nun or the man who fit the description of "Tiger Garson" who had booked four rooms.

As soon as he sat down, a petite and cute waitress wearing a black maid outfit walked over with a professional smile on her face, "Sir, would you like to order?"

Suren glanced at the delicacies on the next table and gestured, "I'll have one of those."

As he spoke, he handed over a coin as a tip, as usual.

The maid smiled sweetly and bowed deeply: "Okay, sir. Please wait a moment."

When midnight came, these waiters would turn into monsters with sharp teeth and claws. The "bloody maids" in the intelligence who chased people to bite them were talking about them.

Suren didn't look any further and turned his attention elsewhere.

The singing was melodious and touching.

The performers on the stage were dancers from the "White Swan Dance Troupe." There were registration records for them at the front desk.

Originally, Suren came to the banquet hall mainly to wait for the magician to take the stage.

Because he was afraid of missing some special NPCs, his left eye had been flashing with light, which was the state of the Eye of Omniscience being continuously released.

But he didn't expect to have an unexpected gain.

At this time, looking at the enchanting lead singer on the stage, his eyes suddenly changed.

When identifying other NPCs in the hotel, the ones displayed above their heads were all [Manifestation of the Contaminated Ancient Remnant].

But the singer who was singing on the stage actually had a name, which was: [Manifestation of the Contaminated Dancer Barbara's Remnant]! Da Feng Novel

Suren looked at the woman showing off her charm on the stage and suddenly had a familiar feeling.

The stunning beauty that seemed to have a filter added to her visual impact was obviously a manifestation of high charm.

This made Suren immediately think of the mob boss's wife, Sabina, and suddenly a thought popped into his mind: "Could this also be a woman with a 'succubus' talent? Is she an ancient alchemist?"

Obviously, having a name meant that she was different from other people.

And there was no information about this Barbara outside.

Because she was a guest on the second floor.

Suren recalled the check-in records he had checked before. She lived in room 2115, right next to the magician 2113.

The performance on the stage was still going on.

Looking at the fair-skinned and beautiful singer, what came to Suren's mind wasn't any erotic scene, but his first reaction was: "If this woman mutates into a monster, I'm afraid it will be very tricky..."

He thought of Sabina's mental attack methods and frowned.

If she turned into a monster, her combat power would definitely explode.

But...

Why did an alchemist go to a dance troupe?

Thinking again of that "magician" Edward, he seemed to be coming to perform too?

Suren thought of something, and a touch of contemplation appeared in his eyes.

.......

Before Suren could think too much, a waiter pushed over a dining car and started serving the dishes.

Although it was a cursed space, the things were real.

Colorful fruits, roasted golden brown and fragrant roast chicken, fine wine, all kinds of exquisite dishes...

A thousand years ago, such delicacies were a luxury.

Suren ate a piece of fruit, which was sweet and juicy.

In Old Lingdun, fruit was a luxury, especially this kind that he had never seen before.

After eating a few bites, the dance troupe stepped down.

Then, someone carried up a few boxes.

It was the magic performance's turn.

A handsome man in a tuxedo and top hat walked onto the stage and bowed deeply to the audience in a very gentlemanly manner.

Suren looked at him, his eyes narrowed slightly, because this guy also came out with a name: [Manifestation of the Contaminated Magician Edward's Remnant].

After the applause, Edward began his performance.

He first conjured a cane out of thin air, circled it a few times, and then squeezed it, and it exploded into confetti and disappeared...

Then he took off his hat and grabbed out live rabbits and pigeons one by one...

Then, he performed a teleportation trick.

There were two cabinets covered with black cloth, one foot off the ground, on the stage. He got into one of them and closed the black curtain.

The next second, the black curtain of the cabinet a few meters away was pulled open, and the guy walked out smiling...

It was these seemingly common magic tricks,

But Suren watched with sparkling eyes, his heart surging.

He thought of a sentence.

Some people, taking the opportunity of performing magic tricks, are actually casting spells.

He was very sure that this guy named Edward wasn't performing magic tricks just now, but was actually casting spatial spells!

Suren had the Eye of Omniscience, and sleight-of-hand magic was almost meaningless.

If it was a prop, it would be identified immediately.

For example, if that hat had a interlayer, it would identify [A prop hat with an interlayer]. But now, what it showed was just an ordinary [Top Hat]!

And the two cabinets that performed the teleportation trick didn't show [Cabinets with Mechanisms], but [Ordinary Cabinets]!

Just now, this guy went from one cabinet to another, not using any twin substitutes, nor any secret doors...

That magician really teleported over!

Seeing this, Suren immediately determined that this Edward was a professional who had mastered space abilities.

Telekinesis...

Spatial displacement...

The abilities shown by this magician perfectly matched all of Suren's expectations for his second-tier job.

"This magician's limbs are exceptionally flexible, and he must also have a super high 'skill' bonus. With the spatial teleportation ability, it's excellent for both life-saving and attacking. If advanced materials are really produced, I'm afraid the affinity with my 'Puppet Master' will be very high!"

Suren looked at the performance on the stage, his eyes trembling slightly.

But while looking forward to it, he suddenly showed a difficult expression and muttered in his heart: "He has the ability to teleport, I'm afraid even using the Black Scythe won't kill him..."

........

Suren's previous plan was that once he determined that this magician had the spatial ability he needed, he would find a chance to kill this magician before midnight, that is, before the contamination occurred, and take the professional materials.

Otherwise, there might be unexpected changes after the mutation.

But now, after seeing some of the professional methods Edward showed in his performance, Suren immediately realized that even if he didn't mutate, he didn't have the confidence to kill this magician!

There was no hand seal, and there was no sign of an alchemical array lighting up, which meant that this guy was proficient in spatial abilities.

Even if he used an invisible living corpse to sneak attack, Suren felt that he would not only fail to sneak attack, but would also get beaten up.

If he was killed by an NPC, he would really die!

However, after all, space materials were hard to find.

He had finally encountered a cursed space that produced them, and Suren was counting on this special NPC to drop space job-changing materials, so he couldn't just let it go.

But he couldn't beat him if he went head-to-head, so he could only think of other ways.

"This is a bit troublesome..."

Suren couldn't wait until midnight.

Because it was hard for him to imagine how tricky this kind of ability user would be after becoming a ghoul.

The second floor was "A+" difficulty?

No!

If these two in front of him mutated, the rating would be at least "S level", or even higher!

Thinking of this, Suren stood up with a "whoosh" and walked directly to the backstage of the stage.

Because he thought of a breakthrough.

A performance team hiding two very strong alchemists was obviously the hidden "main storyline" in the background story of this cursed space!

If he couldn't kill him head-on, what about a "story kill"?
