Extraordinary Puppeteer

Chapter 237

Friday, July 545, 7 at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Although it has entered the hot summer, the climate of Wayne City, a port city, is still very pleasant. The daily maximum temperature will not exceed 25 degrees, and the warm sea breeze will make people feel comfortable.

At this time, a steam locomotive coming from the direction of Isaac's manor arrived at a platform in the east of the lower city.

Soon, a turbulent crowd poured out of the carriage, and there were also workers in overalls carrying the goods in the boxes.

This bustling port city is the same as the capital of steam. Every day, a large number of aspiring young people come to this city with dreams to work hard, and there are also ambitious gold diggers who board ships to the New World and never return.

The arrival of a large number of people has continuously sent fresh blood to Wayne City.

Among the crowds at the station, Eric was the prettiest boy in the crowd.

He wears a white shirt with a black gold-patterned vest, a top hat made of expensive velvet on his head, and a monocle linked by a silver chain on his left eye.

Coupled with his young and handsome face, he was dressed like a nobleman, which attracted the attention of many ladies in the station.

Eric was carrying a suitcase woven from ancient rattan wood, and slowly walked out of the station. It seemed that there was some kind of mysterious aura in him. Get crowded.

After politely rejecting the tactful hints from several ladies, Eric successfully boarded a track steam bus.

After a while, the bus full of passengers drove towards the central city.

Eric, who was sitting on the bus, took a deep breath of air, which made Karin, who had been inhaling the smog in the city of steam for several months, feel that the air here is so fresh.

Although the air quality in Wayne City is not very good, at least it is not a deliberate murder compared to the capital of steam.

'I have only been away for more than half a year, and there are even buses here. It seems that Ranger will choose to support those emerging capitalists and overwhelm the conservative nobles. '

Carlin also knows about the changes in Wayne.

In the past, things like steam buses would never have existed, because this would greatly squeeze the profit margins of the carriage dealers, and the nobles behind the carriage dealers would definitely not be happy.

Even the Ace family, who used to belong to the copper coin nobles, also occupied a large share of the carriage industry in Wayne City. It is conceivable how much resistance there will be to the promotion of subways and steam buses.

However, after the Ace family was wiped out, what was left was directly divided up by various parties in Wayne City. Everyone ate a mouth full of oil, and the ranger ate the biggest piece.

Then, with the start of the second spiritual recovery, the structure of Wayne City has undergone earth-shaking changes. Now Wayne City is almost dominated by the Ranger Club, and its influence directly covers all aspects of black and white.

And the Ranger Association decided to promote steam buses in Wayne City, and the power behind the Wayne Horse Carriage Shop was unstoppable.

In Carlin's meditation, the steam bus drove all the way from the old and dirty lower city to the clean and tidy midtown, and passed St. Wayne College during the process, which reminded him that Erica went to school here.

Karin directly controlled Eric to get off near a hotel.

Red Parrot Hotel.

It looked like an exquisite small hotel, but when Eric stepped into the hotel, Karin, who was hidden beside him, had a strange expression on his face.

Before he could think about it, a shrill female voice sounded from the front desk.

"Welcome this guest to the Red Parrot Hotel. I don't know what service you need."

Behind the counter is a middle-aged woman with a thick face.

"One room, long stay." Eric walked to the front desk and said.

"10 pence a day, monthly settlement, 8 shillings deposit, no food service.

Here is your key, please keep it safe. "

After paying the deposit, Eric took the key and went upstairs after seeing the number "203" engraved on the key.

When he came to room 203 and opened the door with the key, a bedroom of more than 30 square meters came into view.

The room is clean and tidy, there is no dust on the surface of the furniture, and there are no cobwebs on the ceiling and corners.

There is a large clothes hanger at the door, and there is a double bed, a large cabinet, a sofa and a tea table in the room.

In addition to this bedroom, the guest room also has a powder room.

After placing the rattan suitcase on the sofa, Erik opened the curtains, and a burst of golden light spilled into the room.

At this moment, a wriggling shadow suddenly appeared on the ceiling, and a pumpkin-sized spider with a human face emerged from the shadow.

There is no mouth on the human face, only a slender and ferocious mouthpart. A pair of compound eyes looked at Eric's figure with a flash of greed, and the human-faced spider slowly approached his head while hanging upside down.

At this time, Eric seemed to have nothing to lose, and was looking at the scenery outside through the window.

The street was noisy with people coming and going, and the shrill whistle of steam buses could be heard from time to time, and opposite was a duplex townhouse.

Behind the window on the second floor, there happened to be an eight or nine-year-old boy and Eric staring at each other.

After the little boy looked at Eric, his face turned pale for a while, and he pointed behind Eric in horror and screamed.

"what--------"

At this moment, the sharp mouthparts of the man-faced spider slammed into Eric's head.

With a bang, the mouthparts pierced the red mist and broke directly, and the human-faced spider let out a shrill scream under the pain.

But immediately a layer of red mist engulfed the spider, and the screams stopped abruptly.

Karin looked at the man-faced spider that was directly burned to ashes and shook his head.

"Have the evil things in the urban area flooded to this extent?"

He usually doesn't go out when he's in the capital of steam, and Eric's itinerary is also very fixed, wandering around all day in order to maintain a decent life.

So he didn't feel much about the frequency of evil things being born, but now that any hotel he chose at random was run by a nest of trainee human-faced spiders, he didn't know whether he should complain about his luck or not.

'Could it be that there are too many evil things, the Ranger Society and the Secret Service are not manned enough, and evil things have appeared in Midtown? '

Just as he was feeling emotional, the red mist spread rapidly, and after a while all the spaces inside the hotel were filled with red mist.

Stern howls came from several hidden places, and then they were burned to ashes.

And the pedestrians on the street stopped, and many people looked at the Red Parrot Hotel with panicked faces, and they all left the hotel as if they saw something terrible.

Man-faced spiders are a kind of evil that can use illusion to weave barriers. They have intelligence not weaker than humans, and they usually hide in urban areas to camouflage their lairs.

This hotel is a human-faced spider that eats the female boss and then pretends to replace the female boss, waiting for the prey to come to the door automatically.

Now that the man-faced spider died, the illusion barrier could no longer be maintained, and the true face of the Red Parrot Hotel was directly exposed.

From the outside, dense spider webs enveloped the hotel, forming a camouflage barrier.

Pedestrians on the street immediately realized that there was something evil here.

Soon, several transcendents on the street rushed into the hotel directly, but they found that in addition to being decorated by human-faced spiders like coiled silk holes, only some remains of victims and a few balls of ashes were found in the hotel , not a single man-faced spider came across.

At this time, Eric and Carlin had already left the hotel and walked towards the lower city.

"Forget it, let's find Darnetta to help me arrange a place to live."
