Su Lun has been very careful about his whereabouts, he rented the location of the basement, even Kay didn't know.
Moreover, after he has acquired the [Malicious Perception] skill, the possibility of being tracked is almost zero. Unless it is a high-level professional who has special means to hide his perception, he should not be found a place to live.
I didn’t want to go, but someone came to my door.
He looked at the man in the cloak hovering near the basement and looked at the street from time to time. 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 no one else, but the mysterious pharmacist.
Hearing Su Lun’s cold tone, the man in the cloak apologized again and again: "Sorry, sir. I really have something very important to trouble you, so I took the liberty to come to the door."
'S tone was full of sincerity and anxiety, and it seemed that something was really urgent.
Anyone who finds the door inexplicably will not look good.
But Suren is even more curious about how this guy knows where he lives.
He didn't ask this Danny why he was here, but asked, "How did you know that I live here?"
In order to clarify some misunderstandings as soon as possible, Danny said very quickly: "My profession is [Apothecary], and the talent for awakening is [D-031-Enhanced sense of smell]. Although there is no combat effectiveness, it makes me feel right. The smell of the medicine is very sensitive..."
After taking a breath, he quickly explained: "Sorry, sir, I didn't intentionally follow the meaning in it! But because you took the medicines I gave you, the smell on your body is so special to me. Because it’s not too far apart, I followed the smell...I knocked on the door just now and you weren’t there. I’m just waiting for you here on my own terms... I’m really sorry, sir."
Probably because of guilt, he was a little incoherent.
Su Lun understands, is this guy looking for the smell of medicine on his body?
can be ordinary [smell enhancement] has such a great talent?
The place where the pharmacist lives is two or three kilometers away from Green Street. If he can smell such a distance, this talent is simply a top tracking ability, and it won't be a D-level talent.
Su Lun felt that he was lying or hiding something, and coldly questioned: "The increased sense of smell makes you smell the medicine on my body?"
Danny saw that Su Lun's face was not good, and knew that he was misunderstanding, and quickly explained: "No, others can't smell this smell! I am because...I am..."
He said here, there seemed to be something hard to say.
After weighing it for a moment, he seemed to have made some decision before he said, "Because of some abnormal changes in my body, my olfactory talent has been awakened for the second time, so it will be more special."
"..."
Talent second awakening?
Su Lun frowned as he listened.
He instantly thought of the words "semi-distorted human" that had been identified. This guy didn't seem to lie.
But at the same time he was relieved.
It would be terrible if anyone could have such a strong tracking ability.
At this time, Danny seemed to be afraid that Sulun would not believe his words, and with a bite of his teeth, he uncovered the cloak covering his entire face for the first time, revealing that deformed face full of abscesses like the skin of a toad. .
"Sorry, sir, I scared you. I just want to prove that I'm telling the truth."
Uncovering the cloak, Danny looked away, as if he could have expected the gentleman on the opposite side to be startled by his monster appearance.
But, to his surprise, Su Lun was extremely calm throughout the whole process, without any expression of surprise.
"You come with me. This is not a place to talk."
Seeing this, Su Lun said lightly and walked towards the alley behind the basement.
Danny’s appearance really didn't surprise him. This fits the "semi-distorted" 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, "Say, what are you looking for me?"
Danny said anxiously: "My friends were arrested just now, Beta, Brown and Nancy, so I want to entrust you to help me rescue them from your husband."
After a pause, he seemed to feel that he did not refer to Ming, and added: "It is the few people who accompany me and you in the transaction before, they are all good people. Half an hour ago, from a black truck from another block A few people came down and arrested them. I heard that it was a group of people who hunted homeless and orphans who had been haunted by Green Street recently..."
"..."
Su Lun listened, but did not answer.
His first reaction was that the inner city came to find this troublesome Danny and chased after the door.
After all, the origin of being able to produce so many advanced potions is definitely not simple.
Danny was obviously aware of this and said directly: "Sir, I can guarantee that Beta and their arrest has nothing to do with my identity! After all, in the eyes of those people, I had already died in the laboratory accident. In... 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 he also roughly understood the cause of the matter.
thought for a moment, and then asked: "I think you can tell me about your origins before I will consider whether I will agree to help you."
If Danny’s mysterious origins are involved, and it may be someone from the inner city who is involved, then he will definitely not choose to get involved in this trouble.
But if it's just some human traffickers, Su Lun thinks things are very simple.
After all, this is nothing unusual 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, without the binding force of the Cross, and the guys in other blocks who were doing business with illegal people crossed the border to arrest people.
Danny knew that to gain people’s trust, he had to explain something, so he didn’t conceal: “My name is Danny Banks, and I’m a researcher at the Seven Research Institute in the inner city. It’s a member of a black tower directly under it. Secret Research Institute, I don’t think you have heard of it."
Su Lun didn't express his opinion. He had guessed the news a long time ago, and it didn't matter.
The key information, this Danny revealed at all.
He asked directly: "I think if you really want others to help you, you'd better be honest. For example, talk about the laboratory leaks you mentioned; also, your own physical condition, why you came to the outer city... ."
"This..."
Danny was obviously hesitant.
He knows that once his identity is revealed, he will definitely get into big trouble, but now he has no choice.
In the end, he chose to believe this man who had traded potions twice.
He said: "Sir, you probably guessed that the place where the'leakage accident' happened was actually the'No. 7 Research Institute' where I was. The distortion monster in the sewer was also because of the special medicine we studied. Three years ago, the experiment exploded and leaked, which caused the mutation..."
"As for myself...because my parents were responsible for the project, and they died in the accident. Unfortunately, I was also infected and used a semi-finished distortion inhibitor, so it became like this."
This Danny is a kind of nerd at first glance. He doesn't have much social experience, and he doesn't know how to make up stories just because he doesn't care.
He did not lie, he just concealed some key things.
Su Lun was already impatient, "If you just said that, sorry, I can't help you."
said, he turned around to leave.
This story shouldn’t be so simple when you hear it. How could it be such an understatement of the laboratory accident that can cause so many monsters to distort the sewer?
He is not interested in helping a dishonest guy.
...
"Sir, wait a minute!"
Danny panicked as he watched Su Lun about to leave.
He also guessed his concealment, and said quickly: "I...I still have something to say."
Su Lun glanced at him.
Danny knew that he was not good at lying, so anxiously, he simply confessed.
He said: "The experimental project is called the'X Serum Project', a top medical research project deciphered from ancient documents found somewhere in the ruins by the black tower high-level officials, in order to study the ultimate mystery of life..."
"X serum has a very strong activity, can prolong the life of a person, and it will also make people get a very exaggerated improvement, but at the same time, the serum also has a very strong side effect, that is, 100% will cause biological distortion. And where I am The'Seventh Research Institute' is responsible for the development of agents to suppress distortion..."
"This secret project has been carried out for many years, and there have been some research results. But then my parents discovered that the black tower executives secretly conducted a large number of live experiments for some ulterior secrets. At least tens of thousands of people have been because of this project. If you die and continue to research, more innocent people will die...My parents felt that this went against 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, so I injected the semi-finished distortion inhibitor. Although I survived, it became like this."
Danny finished the story in one breath, and sighed in relief.
Su Lun frowned as he listened to the whole process, and his heart became more and more weird.
This Danny was born in a medical family, he guessed it.
But at the beginning of the plot, he felt inexplicably familiar. After listening to the "X Serum" even the name did not change, he immediately realized that this was the previous study recorded in the "Living Corpse Research Diary"?
Thinking again, now the entire "development" of the old Lingdun city is actually in archaeology, which is not surprising.
Now listening to Danny finished speaking, in order to confirm the guess in his heart, he asked again: "Where did the'X serum' come from?"
Danny: "I don't know. This is a very large project with a very high level of confidentiality. Our institute is only responsible for part of it, which is the research on distortion inhibitors..."
Su Lun heard this and asked: "Then how did you escape?"
Danny said: "The laboratory explosion exploded and blasted the sewage pipe dedicated to the treatment of experimental wastewater, connecting it to the city’s sewer pipe network. I was affected by the explosion and fell into the water pipe. I was lucky enough to survive. I fled to the outer city through the pipe. Aunt Susan and my friends took me in, so I didn’t starve to death..."
As he said, he glanced at Su Lun: "Sir, I didn't hide it on purpose before, but I didn't want to cause you trouble. I can't live long now. 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 rescue my friend."
Not to mention that this guy doesn't have a bounty. Even if it does, Su Lun didn't plan to do so, but unexpectedly said, "You are going to die?"
Danny nodded: "Although I managed to survive the accident, the semi-finished "distortion inhibitor" also has a big side effect, that is, it will greatly shorten the life. I estimate that I can live at most two year..."
"..."
Su Lun listened, it turns out that his super strong sense of smell is promoted by squeezing life?
But he remembers the distortion solution in the "Living Corpse Research Journal", there are no side effects.
...
After listening to the story, Su Lun's psychological worries were basically relieved.
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 residence 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, I I can also help you refining pharmaceutical agents for free. I am a'pharmaceutical expert'..."
Talking, UU Reading , he added with embarrassment: "But... I don't have money, and I need you to provide the materials."
"I'll talk about this later."
Su Lun responded indifferently.
In fact, he has long been interested in that "X Serum Project", which can increase people's physical fitness exaggeratedly, and can also create "living corpses"... The effect of this serum is extraordinary.
But because I don't have a clue, I don't care about it for the time being.
But I didn't think that in the real old Ling Dun, someone actually restarted this research. This means that there are already conditions for reduction research in reality!
Although Danny said that the black tower's laboratory failed...
But the "Living Corpse Research Diary" 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 decrypted yet, the notes are in his hands and can be deciphered sooner or later.
Su Lun’s own medical knowledge is still far from the level of “research”, but Danny can. In the future, this guy may be able to help him decipher his diary a lot.
I really want to be able to create "X Serum"...
Su Lun thinks this might bring him huge benefits!
...
But now is not the time to think about this, Su Lun asked: "I can try to help you rescue your friends, but there is no guarantee that it will work. Can you use your sense of smell to determine their location?"
He intends to try it. If it is not too much trouble, it is not a big problem to help.
Hearing the words, Danny was overjoyed, "Yes! I can smell Nancy and them for at least an hour. I can clearly tell that the car with them went to the West Side..."
