Chapter 3: Frankenstein

"Whew!" Qin Lun lit the oil lamp in his hand and illuminated the small basement.

Around the basement are several long tables filled with glassware, mostly beakers and rubber catheters, the only remaining medical research equipment of the Stan family. With the exception of a few medicines that Wellington kept in his medicine cabinet, the glassware was arguably more valuable than the dilapidated building itself in this era.

However, Qin Lun's gaze did not stop at these things, he did not understand the medical system of this world, and these things were of no value to him. His eyes were quickly drawn to the operating table in the middle of the basement.

There was a dead corpse lying on the operating table, after seeing this dead corpse, Qin Lun sighed, he finally understood why the entire small building had become an environment where humans could not live.

The corpse had been dissected, the open belly had not yet been stitched up, and had rotted and fermented into a pulp of organs, dripping with a dark green jelly-like substance. The entire basement was filled with a fishy stench, and it seemed that Qin Lun had found the source of the poisonous gas in Xiaolou.

Qin Lun no longer hesitated, walked quickly to the corner of the basement, picked up Wellington's medicine box and a bucket-sized thin-necked reagent bottle, and immediately returned upstairs.

After snatching the medicine box and reagent bottles out of the small building, Qin Lun took a deep breath, rushed into the small building again, and brought out a few basic medical classics, a large wooden basin and a small suitcase.

Inside the small suitcase are several sets of change of clothes, those few medical classics can give Qin Lun a general understanding of the medical system of this world, as for the reagent bottle, it is medical alcohol.

Qin Lun stripped off his clothes again three or two times, leaving only his underwear and pants all over his body, and put them into the big wooden basin along with the change of clothes in the small suitcase. Then he drew a bucket of water from the well in front of the small building, diluted some of the medical alcohol in the reagent bottle and poured it into a large wooden basin.

Frank didn't ask about his master's bizarre behavior, and after seeing Wellington's medical research, he could vaguely guess that it was a precautionary measure. So he went to the back of the small building and brought some chopped firewood, and built a bonfire away from the wooden basin, and at the same time set up a drying rack with wooden poles.

Qin Lun opened the medicine box and wiped the various utensils in the medicine box with alcohol cotton wool, but at the same time, he sank his consciousness into Wellington's remaining memories.

Wellington had been dead for three days, and his memory was incomplete, and only some of the most impressive things remained in his rotten mind. This medicine box, the money bag in the bedroom that hides the last of your savings, is just a few of them.

From his memory, Qin Lun was able to know that the world he was currently in was similar to an era between the late Middle Ages and the modern era of the earth. In terms of time period, it is probably from the 15th century to the 18th century, and most of the scientific and technological literacy level is close to this stage.

The world already has modern scientific inventions such as glass, clocks, looms, gunpowder, etc., and is in the embryonic period of the Renaissance and capitalism. Although antibiotics have not been officially discovered in medicine, some clever doctors have obtained antibiotic-like drugs through guò plant extracts.

However, this plant, which can obtain antibiotics, is extremely difficult to cultivate, and the extraction process is extremely complex. The value of plant antibiotics is more than ten times higher than the value of gold, and in Wellington's medicine cabinet, there is a violet medicine that is an antibiotic.

This agent is called Wisteria Mixture, and less than 30 milliliters are currently left in the tube. In the previous treatment, Wellington did not use the medicine for the plague patients, not even himself. By the time he realized that something was wrong, he had already fallen into a coma with a high fever and lost his last chance to save his life.

In Wellington's view, this antibiotic is a panacea, but Qin Lun is not superstitious about the effect of this antibiotic. He had seen the tragic situation of the corpse in the operating room, and he didn't think that a small tube of antibiotics could resist that dark green jelly substance. In his opinion, the power of that thing is comparable to that of a biological weapon, and it is also a high-end biological and chemical weapon with a very short lethal time.

The only thing that made Qin Lun feel strange was that Wellington's extremely normal memories were mixed with other "not normal" memories. Wellington was convinced that there were creatures in the world that could not be explained by science, and he called them witches.

Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, Wellington believed that witches used dark magic, were able to drive all sorts of magical creatures, and hid in sparsely populated forests, mountains, and swamps.

After checking Wellington's memories, Qin Lun sank his mind into his first otherworldly mission. This mission is prominently displayed in red letters in the death list.

The content of the mission is very simple: "Apostle 70053, your first otherworldly mission is to save Stephen Albert, the mission goal is within 30 kilometers of you, and the mission time is 30 natural days. Quest Base Reward: One Broken Law Crystal, Additional Reward: Distributed according to the progress of the quest. Penalty for mission failure: 30 Soul points will be deducted. ”

It's a very simple task! Qin Lun shrugged his shoulders, just a little weird, he actually asked a murderer to save people!

"Change your clothes and clean up your hair and beard with this!"

Qin Lun put on his dried clothes again, took out a few more wide undershirts, and handed a knife to Frank.

Now that he has obtained Wellington's plot identity, he has to make good use of it. In the midst of this epidemic, a doctor, even an unlicensed one, would be quite popular, and would be able to quickly find clues to the objectives of the mission.

"This ...... Master, I think it's good to look like this now, you don't need to cut your hair and beard! Frank said with a dodgy look.

"Do it if you want to!" Qin Lun glanced at the hunchbacked servant sternly, after a night of getting along, he was now a little familiar with Frank's temperament. The servant's personality is a bit inferior and autistic, and no one can really accept him except the Stan family.

After Wellington died, it is estimated that this hunchbacked ugly man will not be sick, and I am afraid that he will not be able to integrate into human society, so he can only live alone in the wild until he dies of old age, or dies in the mouth of wild beasts.

Qin Lun wants to use Wellington's identity to inquire about Stephen Albert in a few nearby towns, and naturally he can't follow a wild man behind him, even if he is ugly, at least he must have a human appearance.

However, when Frank cut his hair short with a knife and shaved his beard, Qin Lun's expression was a little weird. He now kind of understood why Frank was reluctant to groom.

The hunchbacked servant's face was pitted, from his cheeks to his chin, his face was covered with blue stubble, a pair of triangular eyes, one large and one small, and the huge nostrils were facing the sky. A large mouth full of mutilated sharp yellow teeth, and it was still crooked.

can be so ugly and thrilling, it can be regarded as a strange tree! Recalling Frank's name and the surname of the Stan family, Qin Lun's heart was full of awkwardness. Is this simply an otherworldly version of Frankenstein!

It's no wonder that in Wellington's memory, Frank has always been unkempt and never shown his true face. With his dignity, it is even more unacceptable to clean up after cleaning up than not cleaning up.

Frank turned his head away from Qin Lun's surprised eyes. Wellington was not only his master, but also a brother who had grown up together, and the strange gaze from his family filled the heart of the hunchbacked ugly man with frustration.

"Smack!" Qin Lun slapped an ear scraper on the back of Frank's head, and scolded with a smile, "It's much more deterrent than I imagined!" Ugly guy, you're going to scare the people in the town to death. ”

"Hey, hey!" Frank's heart suddenly warmed up, and he turned around and grinned embarrassedly.

"Put on our masks, we're going to find a town to spend the night before dark!" Qin Lun took out a big cotton mask from the medicine box, handed it to Frank, and asked him to wear it on his face to hide his terrifying appearance.

"Young Master, don't we live at home?" Frank asked curiously.

"I can't live at home, it's full of epidemic viruses, and people will die if it takes a long time!" Qin Lun shook his head, glanced at Frank, then turned around and walked towards the bonfire, picked up a burning firewood and handed it to the hunchbacked servant, "Go burn it!" ”

"Burn it?" Frank's triangular eyes, one large and one small, held a burning stick, but hesitated. Although the hunchbacked ugly man has spent his childhood in the attic and firewood, Stan is still his only home.

Qin Lun picked up a burning match again and threw it at Xiaolou with all his might. Soon, flames rose all over Stan's building, and the faces of the master and servant looked cloudy in the firelight. Frank was even more reluctant, looking at the small building with a flaming sky.

"When we go to the town and make money, you will have another small building, and I will find you a mother-in-law, I will guarantee it for the Stan family!" Qin Lun said with a smile for the first time.

"Mother-in-law? Except for the young master and the master, no one likes to stay with a monster! Frank said dejectedly.

"Frank, you're not ugly, many people are uglier than you, it's just that everyone doesn't realize it!" Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile, "It's not that my appearance can't be changed, although my craftsmanship is not very good, but I can still do it if I help you make it pleasing to the eye!" ”

"As long as he can follow the young master all the time, Frank will be content, and he will be able to help the young master take care of the young master in the future!" Frank grinned.

"By the way, Frank, do you know a guy named Stephen Albert?" Qin Lun asked casually. He didn't expect Frank to give him any answers, the hunchbacked servant hadn't been to town a few times since he was a child, except for the Stan family and the corpses in the cemetery, he was afraid that he wouldn't recognize a few normal people.

"Frank hasn't heard of any of Finn's people!" The hunchbacked ugly man really shook his head, but after frowning and thinking for a while, he actually gave Qin Lun another unexpected answer.

"However, Lord Stan used to mention another person with the surname Albert, Baron Thomas Albert!"
