Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 102 The Origin of the Mysterious Apothecary

Su Lun has always been careful about his whereabouts, he rented the basement location, even Kai did not know.

Moreover, after he has acquired the [Malicious Perception] skill, the possibility of being followed is almost zero. Unless it is a high-level professional who has special means to hide his perception, he should not be found.

But I didn't want to, but someone came to the door.

He looked at the cloaked man who was wandering near the basement, looking at the street from time to time, and knew that this guy was probably here to find him.

Su Lun looked around and found that no one was paying attention to him, so he walked over and asked in a deep voice, "Are you waiting for me?"

This sneaky guy is none other than the mysterious pharmacist.

Hearing Su Lun's cold tone, the cloaked man apologized repeatedly: "Sorry, sir. I really have something very important to trouble you, so I took the liberty to come here."

His tone was full of sincerity and anxiety, and it seemed that he was really in an emergency.

Anyone who finds the door inexplicably will not look good.

But what Su Lun is more curious about is how this guy knows where he lives.

He didn't ask what the hell Danny was here for, but asked, "How did you know I live here?"

In order to clear up some misunderstandings as soon as possible, Danny said very quickly: "My profession is [Pharmacist Debating], and my awakening talent is [D-031-Smell Enhancement], although I don't have much combat power, it makes me feel right about it. The smell of the medicine is very sensitive."

After a change of breath, he quickly explained: "Sorry sir, I didn't mean to follow you! But because you took the medicines I gave you, the smell on your body is really special to me. It wasn't too far away, so I followed the smell. I knocked on the door just now and you weren't there, so I just waited for you here on my own initiative. I'm really sorry, sir."

Probably because of guilt, his speech was a little incoherent.

But Su Lun understood, this guy got it by smelling the medicine on his body?

But the ordinary [Smell Enhancement] talent is so powerful?

The place where the pharmacist lives and Green Street are two or three kilometers away. If you can smell the smell from such a distance, this talent is simply the top tracking ability, and it will not be a D-level talent.

Su Lun felt that he was lying, or was hiding something, and questioned coldly, "The enhanced sense of smell made you smell the medicine on me?"

Seeing that Su Lun's face was bad, Danny knew that he was misunderstood, and quickly explained: "No, other people can't smell this smell! I am because. I am"

He said this, as if there was something indescribable that he couldn't say.

After weighing it for a moment, he seemed to have made a decision, and then said: "Because of some changes in my body, my olfactory talent has been awakened for the second time, so it will be more special."

"."

The second awakening of talent?

Su Lun frowned.

He instantly thought of the word [half-distorted human] identified, this guy didn't seem to be lying.

But at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be terrifying if a random person could have such a strong tracking ability.

At this time, Danny seemed to be afraid that Su Lun wouldn't believe what he said. He gritted his teeth and lifted the cloak that covered his entire face for the first time, revealing his distorted face full of abscesses like the skin of a toad. .

"Sorry, sir, for scaring you. I just wanted to prove that I was telling the truth."

Uncovering the cloak, Danny looked away, as if he could have expected the expression of the gentleman across from him to be startled by his monster appearance.

However, to his surprise, Su Lun's expression was extremely calm throughout the process, without any surprised expression.

"Come with me. This is not the place to talk."

Seeing this, Su Lun said lightly and walked towards the alley behind the basement.

Danny's appearance did not surprise him, which was in line with the "half-distortion" situation.

Su Lun walked deep into the alley and looked at Danny who was already in front of him. Then he got to the point and asked, "Tell me, what are you looking for from me?"

Danny said anxiously: "My friends were just taken away, Beta, Brown and Nancy, so I want to entrust you, sir, to help me get them out."

After a pause, he seemed to feel that he didn't have a clue, and added: "It's the people who accompany me and you in the transaction before. They are all good people. Half an hour ago, they came from a black truck from another block. A few guys came down and got them. I heard it was the gang that hunted the homeless and orphans on Green Street lately."

"."

Su Lun listened and didn't answer.

His first reaction was that the man from the inner city who was looking for Danny's trouble came to the door.

After all, being able to come up with so many high-level potions must have a difficult history.

Danny obviously realized this and said directly: "Sir, I can guarantee that the arrest of Beta and the others has nothing to do with my identity! After all, in the eyes of those people, I have already died in that laboratory accident. No one will come to me again. Sorry sir, the only way I can think of now is you, please help me.”

Su Lun listened, and roughly understood the reason.

After thinking for a moment, he asked: "I think you can tell me your origin first, and then I will consider whether I will agree to help you."

If Danny's mysterious origin was involved, and the person who did it might be someone from the inner city, then he would never choose to get involved in this trouble.

But if it's just some human traffickers, Su Lun thinks it's easy.

After all, this is not a rare thing in the gang, and it doesn't take much effort to solve it.

Listening to Danny's words, he thought that Green Street had recently become a neutral area, and without the Cross Society's binding force, people from other neighborhoods who were engaged in illegal population business crossed the border to arrest people.

Danny knew that in order to gain people's trust, he had to explain some things, so he didn't hide it: "My name is 'Danny Banks', and I am a researcher at the Inner City 'No. 7 Research Institute'. That is one of the black towers directly under the Secret Research Institute, I don't think you have heard of it."

Su Lun listened and did not express his position. He had already speculated on these news, and it was irrelevant.

The key information, this Danny did not reveal at all.

He asked directly: "I think if you really want others to help you, you'd better be frank. For example, talk about the leak in the laboratory you mentioned; also, your own physical condition, why did you come to the outer city?"

"This"

Danny was obviously hesitant.

He knew he would get into big trouble if his identity was revealed, but now he had no choice.

In the end, he chose to trust the man who had traded the potion twice.

He said: "Sir, you probably guessed that the place where the 'leakage accident' occurred was actually the 'Research Institute No. 7' where I was located. The aberration monster in the sewers is also because of a special agent we researched in The experiment exploded and leaked three years ago, and that's what caused the mutation."

"As for myself, my parents were in charge of the project, and they died in the accident. And I was unfortunately infected, and then I used a semi-finished distortion inhibitor, so I became like this."

This Danny looks like a kind of nerd. He doesn't have much social experience, and he doesn't know much about making up stories lightly.

He didn't lie either, he just concealed some key things.

Su Lun was impatient, "If that's all you said, sorry, I can't help you."

With that, he turned to leave.

This story shouldn't be so simple at first. How can the laboratory accident that can cause so many monster distortions in the sewer be such an understatement?

He has no interest in helping a dishonest guy.

"Sir, wait a minute!"

Seeing Su Lun leaving, Danny panicked too.

He also guessed his concealment and said quickly, "I have something to say."

Su Lun glanced at him.

Danny knew that he was not good at lying, so anxious, he simply told the truth.

He said: "That experimental project is called the 'X Serum Project'. It is a top-level medical research project deciphered from the ancient documents found in the ruins by the top of the Black Tower, in order to study the ultimate mystery of life."

"X serum has very strong activity, can prolong people's lifespan, and can make people's body get a very exaggerated improvement, but at the same time, serum also has very strong side effects, that is, 100% will cause biological distortion. The 'No. 7 Research Institute' is responsible for the development of medicines that suppress distortion."

"This secret project has been carried out for many years, and there have already been some research results. But then my parents discovered that the black tower executives secretly conducted a large number of living experiments for some ulterior secrets. At least tens of thousands of people because of this project. If you die, and if you continue to study it, more innocent people will die. My parents feel that this goes against the original intention of medical research, so they chose to detonate the laboratory and destroy all the research results."

"And I was also infected in the laboratory at the time, so I injected the half-finished distortion inhibitor. Although I survived, it became like this."

Danny finished the story in one breath, letting out a long sigh of relief.

Su Lun frowned slightly as he listened to it the whole time, and became more and more strange in his heart.

This Danny was born in a medical family, he guessed it.

But at the beginning of the plot, he felt inexplicably familiar, and after listening to the "X Serum" without even changing its name, he immediately realized that this was the study recorded in the "Living Corpse Research Diary" before?

Thinking about it again, it is not surprising that the "development" of the entire old Lington city is actually archaeological.

Now that Danny finished speaking, in order to confirm his guess, he asked again, "Where did the 'X serum' come from?"

Danny: "I don't know either. This is a very large project with a very high degree of confidentiality. Our institute is only responsible for part of it, that is, research on aberration inhibitors."

Hearing this, Su Lun asked again, "Then how did you escape?"

Danny said: "The explosion in the laboratory blew up the exclusive water pipeline for the treatment of experimental wastewater, allowing it to connect to the city's sewer network. And I was affected by the explosion and fell into the water pipeline. I survived by luck, and then I went along with it. I escaped to the outer city through the pipeline, Aunt Susan and my friends took me in, so I didn't starve to death."

As he said that, he glanced at Su Lun: "Sir, I didn't deliberately hide it before, I just didn't want to cause you trouble. I won't live long now, and if you think you can send me to the inner city in exchange for a reward, I won't resist. Yes. I beg you to help save my friend."

Not to mention that this guy doesn't have a bounty, even if there is, Su Lun didn't plan to do it, but unexpectedly said: "Are you going to die?"

Danny nodded: "Although I managed to survive the accident, the semi-finished 'distortion inhibitor' also has a great side effect, which is that it will greatly shorten the lifespan. I estimate that I can live at most two year"

"."

Su Lun, listen, it turns out that his super sense of smell is improved by squeezing lifespan?

However, he remembered the distortion solution in the "Living Corpse Research Journal", and there were no side effects.

After listening to the story, Su Lun's psychological concerns were basically dispelled.

He thought about it for a while, and then asked, "Apart from you, does anyone else know where I live?"

Danny: "Don't worry, don't worry, no one knows where you live except me. I've never sold potions before, and no one will notice that I'm alive. As a reward, you can exchange me for a bounty, I It can also help you to refine pharmaceuticals for free, I am a 'pharmaceutical expert'."

After speaking, he added embarrassedly: "But I have no money, and I need you to provide the materials."

"Let's talk about this later."

Su Lun responded lightly.

In fact, he has been very interested in the "X Serum Project" for a long time. It can increase people's physical fitness exaggeratedly, and can also create "living corpses". The effect of this serum is extraordinary.

But because I had no clue, I didn't pay attention to it for the time being.

Unexpectedly, someone in the real old Lington actually restarted this research. This means that there are already conditions for reduction research in reality!

Although Danny said that Black Tower's laboratory failed.

But the "Diary of Living Corpse Research" records all the successful research processes of the crazy alchemist who studied living corpses back then!

Although that part of the technical content has not been deciphered, the notes are in his hands and can be deciphered sooner or later.

Su Lun's current medical knowledge is far from the level of "doing research", but Danny can. In the future, this guy may be able to help him decipher the diary a lot.

Really want to be able to create "X serum".

Su Lun felt that this could be a huge benefit to him!

But now is not the time to think about it, Su Lun asked: "I can try to help you rescue your friends, but there is no guarantee that I will. Can you use your sense of smell to determine their location?"

He intends to try it out, if it's not too troublesome, it's not a big problem to help.

Hearing this, Danny was overjoyed, "Yes! I can smell Nancy and the others for at least an hour. I can clearly tell that the car carrying them went to the West City."
