The cloaked man talked with Suellen for a while, got the information he wanted, and left the apartment.
He didn't even take a look in the basement.
But thinking about it, even if you know how to get in and out, you may not be able to get out alive.
Once you get to the basement, you will definitely be involved.
If he really encounters that super-level blue-skinned living corpse, even if he is already a top professional in Old Town, he may not be able to come out alive.
However, Su Lun was indeed a little surprised by this uninvited guy.
The man in the cloak never showed any hostility from beginning to end. He was like a true gentleman, polite, reasonable, and fair...
But why did such a humble-looking vice president of Black Tower College defect from the inner city?
I think the reason is probably what he said himself: some secrets that will get you into trouble if you know them.
Su Lun's special experience allows him to understand people's hearts easier than others.
At least good intentions and bad intentions can still be distinguished.
He even felt that this "Nicholas J. Emirich" was the easiest person he had ever met since traveling through this cruel underground world.
.......
As soon as the cloaked man left, the crisis in Su Lun's heart completely disappeared.
Now that the hunter behind the trap has taken the initiative to reveal his purpose, the matter is probably clear.
He looked at this house that he was very satisfied with, and looked a little helpless: "It seems that we are moving again..."
Although the cloaked man said that this trap was not aimed at ordinary tenants and would not bother him in the future, Su Lun had no intention of continuing to live there.
This kind of sensitive "battlefield" involves the struggle of top professionals. If you can't get involved, it's best to stay away from it.
I don’t dare to go down to the basement any more, and I plan to find someone to move things out tomorrow when they are free.
At this time, Su Lun thought of something and took out a notebook from the storage ring.
This is the "Living Corpse Research Diary" that was brought out from the cursed space safe before.
The other party didn't ask just now, and he deliberately reserved it and didn't take the initiative to talk about it.
Now that I have some free time, I started to look through it carefully.
This is a manuscript, with dense text and patterns recorded on every page.
If you flip through it casually, you can see some colored pencil depictions of human body structures, such as arms, heads, bones... or detailed depictions of various human internal organs.
The diarist's drawing skills are very strong. When Su Lun looked at these hand-drawn drawings, he even felt like looking at the precise printed human anatomy diagrams in his previous life. Every blood vessel, nerve, and muscle fiber direction was clearly depicted.
.
From the appearance, to the inner tent, the skeleton, and even to the enlarged pattern of cells at the microscopic level.
Moreover, not only the paintings, but also a large number of text explanations are marked in the notes. The functions of human organs, how the blood, muscles, organs, and brain work are explained in detail. The details include which blood vessels the runes should be drawn on.
There are also many incomprehensible auxiliary instrument manufacturing drawings, various scales, and strange accessory models...
Su Lun first looked at these unclear contents in the diary and marveled from time to time that the ancient alchemists had carried out life science research to such an exaggerated level.
Life science coupled with the mysterious alchemy is simply a magical world.
However, at his current level of [Advanced Alchemy Introduction], when he saw the contents of this diary... he understood nine out of ten and knew nothing at all.
It's like a primary school student picking up a research report on quantum mechanics. The text can be understood somewhat, but the combined content is completely confusing.
He was previously curious about the ultra-level runes on the blue-skinned living corpse, but when he saw it, his scalp went numb.
The diary does contain detailed drawing methods and working principles of that kind of rune. But this is not a textbook, but an experimental log. There is no explanation from simple to deep, it is simply to record certain things in it. Moreover, it involves
Sensitive research content is obviously encrypted.
After reading a few pages, Su Lun was confused and completely gave up looking at the professional knowledge.
He felt that not only himself, but also few people in Old Lingdun were qualified to understand these "super-level knowledge".
However, Su Lun also had doubts in his heart, why is the gap between ancient alchemy and modern technology so powerful?
Where did the missing phase go after that?
........
Su Lun stopped worrying about the academic content and instead focused on the contents of the "diary" that he could understand.
At this glance, you will know where this "Diary of Living Corpse Research" came from.
The simplest explanation of alchemy is the refining of precious metals, such as gold.
But in fact, alchemy is not metaphysics or magic, but science.
There are three ultimate topics in the field of alchemy: resurrection of the dead, life transfer, and life creation.
In these diaries, the crazy ancient alchemist named "Tirmidor M. Chekov" recorded his research report on resurrecting corpses.
Su Lun found the first diary according to the timeline recorded in the diary.
"January 2, 1221. Ah... It's my fault in research that caused Miss Pestoya's misfortune... Why can't I resurrect her? I looked through the research left by the ancient alchemists.
I found a lot of inspiration through the information. Finally, I decided to restart the 'Resurrection of the Dead' project..."
When Su Lun saw the first diary, he showed an incredible expression.
Because he saw a familiar name: Pestoya.
If it wasn't the same name, it should be the little ghost girl who cursed the space in Storm Manor when he traveled back in time.
Before, he didn't understand the background of this world or the origin of that little girl.
Now he knew that her last name was very special, Pestoya Isaac.
And that dilapidated manor was, not surprisingly, the residence of Sir Isaac, who was known as the "Alchemy Demigod" in the previous era.
No wonder there is an altar that can awaken the S talent underground in that manor.
The diary didn't record much news about Pestoya, and Suellen didn't have enough clues to guess what kind of "bad luck" she had suffered.
What follows is a very hardcore research diary.
"March 21, 1221, Experiment Subject Number #001. I chose a fresh corpse and started the experiment..."
"On May 1st, I found a method from ancient books to slow down the decay of corpses...Active potion + [Level VIII dark attribute magic gathering rune] can gather the energy of the dead...I took the hospital's
The morgue was transformed into a research site..."
"On August 13, 1221, Experimental Subject No. #624. I extracted an active substance from the corpse of the super abyssal creature, and I named it 'X serum'. After the injection, the fresh corpse recovered
Some physiological characteristics of living people..."
"As the dose of 'X serum' injected was increased, the fresh corpses began to become uncontrollable, the body tissues had aberrations, strange shapes appeared, and eventually turned into a disgusting monster form, suspected of being an atavistic abyss creature.
.Adjusted the ingredients of the formula and continued to increase the dosage. The test subject's body could not bear it, and the blood vessels and heart ruptured..."
"There are not enough corpses in the hospital, and the conditions cannot meet the requirements for activity research. I need fresher corpses; I am trying to go to patients who are about to die..."
"The patient's family discovered some abnormalities, so I didn't dare to use the hospital as a patient anymore. I entrusted a black marketeer to buy slaves in the slave market..."
"On November 7, 1222, research target number #1135 showed signs of distortion after being injected with X serum, but he miraculously survived and his physical fitness was incredibly improved. I successfully recovered from the experiment
A biological antibody sample that inhibits distortion was extracted from the body's blood. Oh, today is a happy day, the experiment has made substantial progress..."
"March 11th. A 'rat' entered the laboratory today and stole some research materials. It seems that someone is interested in the "X serum". After all, it can make the human body full of vitality. Probably some powerful people want to
I want to use it to extend my life. I have no interest in paying attention to it, just let them go..."
"Failed again. Oh, bad day..."
"April 24, 1224, serial number #3335. The experiment finally made progress, and I successfully refined the first living corpse. I began to try to fuse souls..."
"Damn it, I have successfully made the corpse have all the biological characteristics of a living person, and there is no problem with the bloodline. Why did the soul fusion still fail? The body has a reaction of obviously rejecting the soul... There is not enough time, and I am not willing to give up.
..”
"..."
Su Lun flipped through the pages of the diary and looked at what he could understand, and had a rough impression of the story in his mind.
It was a powerful alchemist who wanted to develop a way to bring people back to life, and he experimented crazily in the morgue. From corpses, patients, to living experiments...
At the end, the diary suddenly stopped, as if something unexpected had happened, and there was nothing more to say.
That Chekhov created a "living corpse", but ultimately failed to bring it to life.
At least in his notes he failed.
...
"So this is where the 'active corpse' in the cursed space came from..."
After reading the notes, Su Lun showed a hint of surprise.
When he saw the description of the "living corpse", his first reaction was not to study some resurrection techniques, but he suddenly realized whether the blue-skinned "living corpse" could be used as a puppet medium using a scythe?
It has almost all the life characteristics of a living person, and even has dark spiritual power...
Almost all the conditions for controlling the scythe are met.
But it's just a thought.
The content in the notes was so high-end that he couldn't even digest it now.
