"Your name is ......"

Cheng Shen laboriously squeezed the air out of his lungs and passed through his leaky vocal cords.

Halfway through his words, he suddenly felt stupid.

"I'm stupid, really." He could obviously communicate directly with the other party through mental fluctuations, but he chose the stupidest method, and changing to an ordinary person's body seemed to limit his thinking.

The inside of the abdominal cavity where the hemostatic powder is poured begins to heat up.

But that's not a good sign.

The wound inside had not been treated, and the potion would only make his wound aggravate the infection and fester, so he didn't continue to try to heal himself and delay the time, and stepped forward to pick up the alchemist.

"What's your name?"

A wisp of mental fluctuations spread to the other party.

"You, you! ……”

The alchemist was speechless in pain from the injuries to his arms.

Cheng Shen picked up the remaining anesthetic and hastily poured it on his two arms.

"If you dare to pretend to be stupid, I will let you know what real flesh and blood are and what it means to be weak."

He calmly threatened.

The thin alchemist in front of him weighed the distance between him and Cheng Shen, as well as his spell casting speed, and immediately compromised.

"Huh...... My name is...... Moraes. ”

He gasped.

Without waiting for Cheng Shen to ask again, he continued: "I don't care who you are, but you dare to sneak here!" The entire castle is under the control of the Lord, and you will soon be discovered! You're done! ”

"You don't seem to understand what I'm saying."

Cheng Shen said lightly.

He picked up a scissor-shaped serrated knife next to him and grabbed one of Moraes' fingers, and he immediately changed color, "Wait, wait!" I say it all...... Yes!! ”

Smack.

Cheng Shen threw the knife back on the metal platform and quietly watched Moraes scream in pain.

He wasn't afraid of being heard, and his previous observations had already made him aware that in this particular area, every laboratory had a soundproof formation, and even if he shouted out his throat, no one would notice the anomaly here.

Soon.

Because of the indirect effect of the anesthetic, Moraes stopped yelling.

His face had become paler than paper, cold sweat was pouring from his forehead, and his eyes were gradually dissipating.

"Your age."

Cheng Shen asked casually.

“42……”

Moraes replied subconsciously.

"Were you born here or from somewhere else?"

Cheng Shen continued to ask.

"I ......"

Morais trembled as he heard his demon-like voice, came back to his senses, gritted his teeth, and said, "I am from Moldo, my hometown was destroyed in the war, and after several journeys, I was taken in here by the city lord. ”

Wanderers?

Cheng Shen nodded.

In this data-based world of rules, wanderers are a very special group, and in the process of wandering, they will experience changes that even they can't perceive, and travel through time and space to another area.

So he didn't ask what kind of place Moldor was.

That could be far away.

Far away from a distance that he may not be able to reach in his lifetime.

"How long have you been here, and what do you usually do?"

He continued.

"Twelve years!"

Moraes did not hesitate to give a number, he looked at Cheng Shen's face, and continued: "I am usually mainly responsible for conducting biological experiments and researching various potions that can be effective against different races. ”

"Elixir?" Cheng Shen was immediately interested when he heard this, "What have you researched?" ”

"Beast pill, red pill...... And the two potions you just used were all researched by me! I'll keep a copy of the finished potion recipe and store it in the cabinet behind you......"

Moraes said immediately.

Cheng Shen glanced back at the blood-stained iron cabinet, there was a faint mental fluctuation on it, according to his speculation, it should be some kind of special arrangement similar to memory runes, which can only be opened by the user.

"Go open it."

Cheng Shen said directly to Moraes.

"I ......"

Moraes raised his two crippled arms and was about to defend himself, but seeing Cheng Shen's gradually cold eyes, he still stepped forward and touched them with the hand that was pierced by the blade but could barely move.

Suddenly, he paused, turned around and said, "I'll give you all the recipes to change your life!" ”

"Take it!"

Cheng Shen just urged in an impatient tone.

Moraes' expression was aggrieved, but the fear of death in his heart still washed away the courage that he had finally risen.

Bang.

The door of the cabinet with sticky blood streaks was opened.

Cheng Shen immediately stepped forward, directly pulled Morais aside, and reached out to take out a stack of materials from the cabinet full of bottles and cans.

He looked through it.

There are many records in the materials, but most of them are Moraes' experimental records.

There are only a dozen or so recipes for finished products that have actually been documented.

And the most valuable.

Exactly the two that Moraes took the initiative to mention.

Beast Pill: After use, you can make yourself enter a semi-beast state and get additional ability value bonuses, but the side effects are extremely great, and every time you use it, you will accumulate beast toxins in your body, and long-term use will make people completely alienated.

Turn into a real beastly monster.

This beast pill is made by extracting the bone marrow fluid of different organisms and condensing it.

Depending on the source of the bone marrow, the effect of bestiality is also different.

However, a person can only use the beast pills made from the same biological source, and once they are used indiscriminately, they will make themselves alienate into monsters, and Moraes only keeps two Shadow Demon Rat Beast Pills that have just been refined.

According to him, the rest of the finished products have already been handed over to the castle in exchange for contributions.

The castle contribution he mentioned was also something special.

But let's not talk about it for now.

Red Pill: After using it, the recovery speed of one's health is greatly increased, lasting for ten seconds, and the side effects are also extremely strong.

The effect of this red pill is to achieve the purpose of strengthening recovery by overdrawing the life potential, and each one used will reduce the life span for at least a few years, but in exchange for obtaining the almost immortal metamorphosis vitality within these ten seconds.

There was only one sample of this red pill that he had kept.

Cheng Shen put it away directly.

In addition, there are more than a dozen other potion recipes with various special effects.

He quickly recorded it in his mind through a powerful memory.

Turn your head.

Cheng Shen looked at Moraes, who was sneaking around on the side.

"What the hell is the apotheosis experiment?"

He asked curiously.

Moraes immediately pretended that nothing had happened, "That's what other people are doing, and the lord of the city has always wanted to achieve immortality by changing his physical form...... But they are all on the wrong path! ”

In the second half of the sentence, he said categorically.

Speaking of this issue, Moraes seemed to completely ignore the fear of Cheng Shen, shaking the broken arm of his forearm and said excitedly:

"Flesh and blood are the most precious material that the Creator has given us, the greatest difference between life and death! And if they want to give up their flesh and blood and replace it with a metal structure, they are simply blasphemous! It's self-destructive! ”

"Those damn guys deserve to be burned!"

He said resentfully.

“……”

Cheng Shen was speechless.

Moraes just mentioned that he was unable to become a senior alchemist and participate in the apotheosis experiment because of his lack of contributions. Now it seems that there is more to it than just the reason why he can't fit into that top circle.

As far as we can see, the owner of this castle is obviously determined to develop a mechanical technology tree, and Moraes, as an alchemist with primitive worship, seems so out of place.

Of course.

This has nothing to do with Cheng Shen.

"Apart from you, how many other alchemists are here, what are their names and what do they look like?

Also, what do you need to pay attention to when acting here? ”

He continued.

Moraes has accepted his fate calmly, and now he only asks Cheng Shen to spare his life.

Wen Yan immediately confessed all the information he knew.

"I've told you everything I know! After you leave, I'll act as if nothing happened, and I'll never leak the news to the above! ”

Morais said eagerly.

"Don't worry."

Cheng Shen turned around and looked at the various rusty tools on the operating table, he picked up a tool similar to a vice, and said expressionlessly: "The matter is important, there are some details I need to confirm." ”

A moment later.

Cheng Shen left the room with a bloody corpse.

Before leaving, he searched all the items that could be used in the room, and this body could not open the system space, so he found a complete animal skin and wrapped it in a package, and put all the mess in it.

Squeak ......

The dark door was slowly pushed open, and the blood-red light cracked through the darkness.

Cheng Shen touched his right eye, which had been replaced with an apotheosis structure.

Airplanes!

The musty-colored gemstone eyeballs suddenly released a colorful light, providing a faint light.

Cheng Shen turned around and gently closed the door, carrying the animal skin package that was still oozing blood on his back and continued to walk towards the depths of the passage.

After his second confirmation......

No

To be exact, it should be three confirmations.

After Cheng Shen let Moraes experience what real flesh and blood are and what it means to be weak, he made him understand how fragile the soul consciousness without the protection of flesh and blood is.

And after getting three slightly different answers, he already has a general understanding of the situation here.

A total of twenty similar laboratories have been built in this passage.

According to the number on the house number, the status and importance of each alchemist are distinguished.

Moraes was ranked nineteenth.

It undoubtedly shows that he is at the bottom of all alchemists.

The only room that is lower than his ranking.

It's still empty.

The alchemists who have rooms ranked within the top ten are basically veterans who are qualified to participate in the apotheosis experiment, and the Seaman physicians mentioned by the two craftsmen before have the third-ranked room.

Moraes mentioned.

These twenty laboratories are all private rooms for alchemists, and usually there will be no one else except the alchemist himself.

In addition to this, there is a Lab Zero at the end of the passage.

Reputedly.

That is the ultimate base for conducting apotheosis experiments.

But as an outsider who has been excluded from the circle of alchemists, his knowledge of this laboratory is limited to this title.

"Apotheosis Experiment ......"

Cheng Shen groped forward, pondering this information in his mind.

The owner of the castle wanted to store consciousness in a mechanical structure by replacing his body and gain immortality.

This experiment is not as simple as it sounds.

In fact.

In this world, the alchemy puppet technology is already very complete.

Whether it's alchemy creatures like the petrified ancestors, or mechanical puppet creatures, or extreme creations such as flesh and blood golems.

It can transfer a person's soul into it completely.

but

It's like a person's physical body grows old over time.

soul

In fact, there is also a process of natural decline.

At present, the most reliable means of immortality that Cheng Shen knows is to promote to the transcendental, once promoted to the transcendent realm, whether it is the physical body or the soul body, the existence time will be extremely long.

But.

And that's just immortality.

and not the eternal life that the castle owner seeks.

These two words,

Easier said than done.

But even a supreme being like the Unicorn Spirit has a life cycle. Even the product of unspeakable and incomprehensible rules like this world will face such a terrible catastrophe as the death of all things.

Cheng Shen naturally didn't think that the owner of this castle could surpass the gods in his research on immortality.

But I'm afraid it won't be that simple......

Boom.

Suddenly he kicked something under his feet.

Cheng Shen looked down, and the faint light illuminated a mutilated corpse, it was a young woman, her body was covered with gaps that had been bitten by wild beasts, and her wide gray eyes were full of horror and pain.

"Nine."

Cheng Shen glanced at the handwriting on the door next to him, and his mind automatically recalled the information provided by Moraes.

Lab Nine belongs to a very brutal alchemist.

Unlike other alchemists, the ninth alchemist was originally a research creation of another alchemist, and he was transformed to gain great wisdom, but he also became tyrannical due to various cruel experiments.

Moraes mentions that the castle is often filled with fresh test subjects.

Sometimes it's people, sometimes it's all kinds of creatures.

There is still a certain chance that the test subjects who fall into the hands of other alchemists will survive, and of course the fate will not be much better, but at least their purpose is for research. And the ninth alchemist is all about torture.

Cheng Shen wasn't sure if the other alchemists were as weak as Moraes, and if they had hidden means to save their lives.

I don't want to make a fuss.

is leaving.

But just as he stepped past the mutilated corpse, the door creaked open behind him.

A small, child-like figure with layers of wrinkles appeared inside the door, clumps of black hair growing on the bare skin of his face and arms, like a monkey that had failed to transform.

"Who are you!"

He asked with a murderous look in his eyes, and his voice shrill in his voice.

Poof!

The animal skin package that Cheng Shen was carrying fell to the ground, and he slowly turned his head, and the blood-colored light reflected half of the rough human skin mask. Cheng Shen chewed something in his mouth, and saw that his skin suddenly grew thick black hairs!

One of Cheng Shen's one-eyed eyes turned blood-red in an instant!

Scold!

He turned and pounced on the other man, and the fierce force pushed him back into the door.

Boom!

The door to Lab Nine was slammed shut!
