Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 102 The Origin of the Mysterious Pharmacist

Su Lun has always been very careful about his whereabouts. Even Kay didn't know the location of the basement he leased.

Moreover, now that he has acquired the [malicious perception] skill, the possibility of being followed is almost zero. Unless they are high-level professionals with special means to hide from perception, they should not be found a place to live.

But unexpectedly, someone came to the door.

He looked at the cloaked man wandering around the basement and looking at the street from time to time, and he knew that this guy was probably looking for him.

Su Lun looked around and found no one 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 man in the cloak apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, sir. I do have something very important to bother you, so I took the liberty to come here."

His tone was full of sincerity and apprehension, and it seemed that he was really in a hurry.

Anyone who finds the door inexplicably will not look good.

But what Su Lun was more curious about was how this guy knew where he lived.

He didn't ask what Danny was doing here, but asked, "How do you know I live here?"

In order to clarify some misunderstandings as soon as possible, Danny said very quickly: "My profession is [Pharmacist], and my awakened talent is [D-031-Sense of Smell Enhancement]. The smell of the potion is very sensitive."

Taking a breath, he quickly explained: "Sorry sir, I didn't mean to follow you on purpose! But because you took the medicines I gave you, the smell on your body is really special to me. Because it’s not too far away, I followed the smell to find it. 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, he spoke a little incoherently.

But Su Lun understood, this guy came here by smelling the medicine on his body?

But the ordinary [sense of smell enhancement] talent is so powerful?

The place where the pharmacist lived was two or three kilometers away from Green Street. If he could really smell the smell so far away, this talent would simply be a top-level tracking ability, and it wouldn't be a D-level talent.

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

Danny saw that Su Lun's expression was not good, and he knew that he had been misunderstood, so he quickly explained: "No, other people can't smell this smell! I am because... I am"

When he said this, it seemed that there was something difficult to say.

After weighing it for a moment, he seemed to have made some 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 identified [semi-deformed human], this guy didn't seem to be lying.

But at the same time he was relieved.

It would be really scary if anyone could have such a strong tracking ability.

At this time, Danny seemed afraid that Su Lun would not believe his words, so he gritted his teeth and lifted his cloak that covered his entire face for the first time, revealing the distorted face full of pus like the skin of a toad .

"Sorry, sir, to scare you. I just want to prove that I'm telling the truth."

Uncovering the cloak, Danny's eyes dodged, and he seemed to have expected the expression of the gentleman opposite him being taken aback by his monster appearance.

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

"You 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 at all, which was in line with the "semi-distortion" situation.

Su Lun walked to the depths of the alley, looked at Danny who was already in front of him, and then got to the point, and asked, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

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

After a pause, he seemed to feel that he didn't refer to Ming, and added: "The people who accompanied me to trade with you before, they are all good people. Half an hour ago, on a black truck from another block A few men came down and took them away. I heard it was the gang that hunted tramps and orphans lately in Green Street."

"."

Su Lun listened, but didn't answer.

His first reaction was that the person from the inner city who came to trouble Danny came after him.

After all, being able to come up with so many high-level potions must not have been simple.

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

Su Lun listened and roughly understood the reason of the matter.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "I think you can tell me about your background before I consider whether I will agree to help you with this favor."

If Danny's mysterious origin was involved, and the person who did it might be someone from the inner city, then he would definitely not choose to get involved in this trouble.

But if it's just some human traffickers, Su Lun thinks the matter is very simple.

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

Hearing Danny's words, he thought that Green Street had recently become a neutral area, without the binding force of the Cross Society, the guys from other blocks who were dealing with illegal population crossed the line to catch them.

Danny knew that in order to gain people's trust, he had to explain some things, so he didn't hide anything: "My name is 'Danny Banks', and I'm a researcher at the 'No. 7 Research Institute' in the inner city. Secret Research Institute, I don’t think you have heard of it.”

Su Lun didn't express his opinion as he listened. He had already guessed the news, so it didn't matter.

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

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

"this"

Danny obviously hesitated.

He knew that once his identity was revealed, he would definitely get into big trouble, but now he has no choice.

In the end, he still chose to trust this person who had traded medicine twice.

He said: "Sir, you probably guessed that the place where the 'leak accident' happened was actually the 'No. 7 Research Institute' where I was. The experiment exploded and leaked three years ago, which led to the mutation"

"As for myself, because the person in charge of that project is my parents, they died in an accident. Unfortunately, I was also infected, and then used a semi-finished distortion inhibitor, so I became like this."

This Danny is the kind of nerd at first glance. He doesn't have much social experience, and he doesn't know how to make up stories while avoiding the important ones.

He did not lie, he just concealed some key things.

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

With that said, he turned to leave.

This story shouldn't be so simple when you hear it. How can you understate the laboratory accident that can cause so many monsters in the sewer to deform?

He's not interested in helping a dishonest guy.

"Sir, wait!"

Seeing that Su Lun was about to leave, Danny also panicked.

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

Su Lun glanced at him.

Danny knew that he was not good at lying, so in anxiety, he simply told the whole story.

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

"X serum has a very strong activity, can prolong human life, and can also give people a very exaggerated improvement in the body, but at the same time, the serum also has very strong side effects, that is, it will cause 100% biological distortion. And where I am 'Research Institute No. 7' is in charge of developing drugs to suppress distortion."

"This secret project has been carried out for many years, and some research results have already been obtained. But then my parents discovered that the high-level officials of the Black Tower secretly conducted a large number of live experiments for some ulterior secrets. At least tens of thousands of people are involved in this project. Die, and if the research continues, more innocent people will die. My parents felt that this violated the original intention of medical research, so they chose to detonate the laboratory and destroy all research results."

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

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

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

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

But the plot felt inexplicably familiar to him from the very beginning, and when he heard that "X Serum" didn't even change its name, he immediately realized, isn't this the same research that was recorded in the "Diary of Living Corpse Research" before?

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

Now that Danny had 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 high degree of secrecy. Our institute is only responsible for a part of it, which is the study of distortion inhibitors."

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

Danny said: "The explosion in the laboratory blew up the dedicated water pipe for the treatment of experimental wastewater, allowing it to connect to the city's sewer network. I was affected by the explosion and fell into the water pipe, so I survived by luck I fled to the outer city through the pipeline, and 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 hide it on purpose before, but I just didn't want to cause you trouble. I don't live long now, and if you think sending me to the inner city can be exchanged for a reward, I won't resist Yes. I beg you to help me save my friend."

Not to mention that this guy doesn't have a bounty, even if he did, Su Lun didn't intend to do so, but unexpectedly said: "Are you going to die?"

Danny nodded: "Although I survived the accident successfully, the semi-finished 'distortion inhibitor' also has a great side effect, that is, it will greatly shorten my lifespan. I estimate that I can live for at most two years." Year"

"."

Su Lun listened, it turned out that his super sense of smell was improved by squeezing his lifespan?

But he remembered the distortion solution in the "Research Journal of the Living Corpse", which had no side effects.

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

He thought 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 your address except me. I have never sold potions before, and no one will notice that I am still alive. As a reward, you can exchange me for a bounty, and I will I can also refine potions for you for free, I am a 'Pharmaceutical Expert'."

As he said that, he added a sentence embarrassingly: "But I don't have any money, and I need you to provide the materials."

"Let's talk about this later."

Su Lun responded lightly.

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

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

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

Although Danny said that the laboratory of the black tower failed.

But that "Diary of Living Corpse Research" records all the successful research process of the crazy alchemist who studied the living corpse!

Although the part involving technology has not yet been deciphered, the notes are in his hands, and they will be deciphered sooner or later.

Su Lun's current medical knowledge is far from "doing research", but Danny can. In the future, this guy may also be of great help to him in deciphering the diary.

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

Su Lun felt that this might bring him great benefits!

But now is not the time to think about this, Su Lun asked: "I can try to help you rescue your friend, but I don't guarantee it will work. Can you use your sense of smell to determine their location?"

He planned to give it a try. If it wasn't too troublesome, it wouldn't be a big problem to help out.

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 has gone to West City."
