Chapter 18: Alchemy Doesn't Exist?
The black haze over Gotham lingers all year round, and only fluctuates when there is wind.
The taxi stopped in front of the Arkham Asylum, and Levi got out of the cab and stood in front of it, looking at the black clouds that kept rolling in the sky.
"It's a bit windy today."
Presumably, it won't be able to clean up for a while......
"Pay!"
The taxi driver's roar brought Levi's mind back.
Levi hurriedly expressed his apologies with a smile on his face, and then took out change to pay the fare.
"Living in a place like this is really insane!"
The taxi driver scolded and accepted the fare, and then kicked the accelerator straight out, leaving a series of exhaust gases and disappearing into the night.
Levi: ......
"Neuropathy? It's not necessarily a way to hide quietly......"
In Levi's muttering, he walked into Arkham Asylum.
……
Back in his office, Levi had just sat down and hadn't even had time to take a sip of water.
The door to his office was pushed open from the outside with a bang.
Dr. Hugo rushed in in a hurry.
"Huh? Dr. Hugo? Levi shrugged, "You're just in time, I happen to have something to look for you......"
Plans don't change quickly, only plans that respond to changes at any time are good plans!
After the intervention of the Farnecor family, the plan for Dr. Hugo's meeting with the Owl Court tomorrow will be changed.
But Dr. Hugo directly interrupted Levi's words, and his face was full of anxiety.
"Dean, I'll talk about other things later, if it's a big deal, you can go to the laboratory with me first!"
Levi was shocked when he heard this.
Something happened in the lab?
What is it that can make Dr. Hugo panic like this? Could it be that the laboratory exploded?
"Dr. Hugo, what the hell is going on? The lab blew up? ”
"It's worse than that! You can follow me to the lab and take a look! Dr. Hugo even grabbed Levi's sleeve and pulled him out of his chair.
Hearing Dr. Hugo say this, Levi didn't care about the coming storm of the outside world, and followed him and trotted briskly to the hidden elevator on the top floor.
There's nothing wrong with the Indian Hills lab!
Not only because the various high-end experimental instruments stored there are expensive, but the most important thing is that many of the instruments in the experiments are extremely difficult to buy on the market.
It's the future Levi's hero pool!
The lab is located underground in the Indian Hill Hospital, and the hidden elevator is the only access there.
The two men entered the elevator and went all the way to the underground.
When the elevator door opened again, the two men were already in the Indian Mountain Hospital.
The last time Levi came here, the two sides were still hostile!
Levi killed all the original employees of the Indian Hill Hospital, leaving only a "sea of splendid flowers" that filled the entire corridor.
And those flesh and blood flowers that originally bloomed here have disappeared at this time.
Apparently Dr. Hugo cleaned it up.
At this time, there was silence in the Indian Mountain Hospital, and the silence even sent chills down the spine.
However, neither Levi nor Dr. Hugo are ordinary people, and it is even less likely to be afraid on their own turf.
Led by Dr. Hugo, the two men went straight to the laboratory.
The laboratory is located in the deepest part of the entire Indian Hill Hospital, and along the way, Levi sees many rooms that perfectly simulate the extremes of the natural environment.
Maybe that's the difference between biological experiments and mechanical experiments.
If it was Batman's laboratory, maybe it should be full of all kinds of weapons and equipment.
Levi's thinking was a little divergent.
The two of them soon arrived at the laboratory.
But contrary to Levi's expectations, the lab did not explode.
Levi looked through the glass of the laboratory and saw a corpse with a twisted shape thrown in the laboratory.
It should be that Dr. Hugo has just finished his experiment.
"What's the matter, Dr. Hugo?" Levi looked at him puzzled, "Didn't you say something big?" ”
"It's a big deal, and I experimented with it according to the experimental method of Sinjid in my memory." Dr. Hugo's face sank as he stretched out his hand to the twisted corpse on the laboratory floor, "As a result, there is only one result, and the methods of alchemy will not work at all." ”
Levi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"That's it." Levi stretched out his hands and persuaded, "It's not a big deal, isn't it normal for the experiment to fail?" ”
"Not a big deal?" Dr. Hugo's expression gradually became crazy, "If it was just an ordinary experiment, it is indeed normal to fail, but I am an experiment that completely reproduces the test method of Singid in my memory, if it still fails, it will be a big deal!" ”
"Do you know what that means? Meaning that all of Sinjid's knowledge is invalid! ”
Listening to Dr. Hugo's roar, Levi gradually came back to his senses.
Compared to the fact that Sinjid's alchemical knowledge was completely lost, even a laboratory explosion was indeed not a big deal, because it was completely possible to rebuild a bigger and better one with money.
And the death of the test subject is not even a thing.
In Gotham City, can there be a shortage of test subjects?
If all of Sinjid's alchemical knowledge is invalidated, the matter will be over!
Even more valuable than combat ability is Sinjid's knowledge as an alchemical scientist!
"Dr. Hugo, what experiments are you doing?" Levi's expression became serious.
"Werewolves! Werewolf experiment! Dr. Hugo whispered in a somewhat distracted voice, "I found in my memory that Sinjid once successfully created a terrifying werewolf with human body and animals, which coincided with the human modification project I had studied before......
For Dr. Hugo, the bad news that alchemy had failed was worse for him than for killing him.
Experiments that have not been able to succeed in the true sense of the word have suddenly seen hope, only to find that they have not been realized at all.
This blow is even more deadly than never finding hope.
"Dean, does alchemy no longer exist?" Dr. Hugo looked at Levi with a pleading gaze.
Looking at the slightly decadent Dr. Hugo, Levi frowned.
He couldn't understand the principle of the werewolf experiment, but he knew the werewolf.
In League of Legends, there is only one werewolf.
That's Warwick Van Dahl!
A deadly assassin with his own bloodsucking and active in the wild, known as Mad Dog.
It is indeed very much in line with the scope of Dr. Hugo's experiment.
But there is no reason to fail, although Xin Jid's alchemy knowledge comes from the Rune Continent, but the principle of the experiment and the basic physical rules, the two worlds are not too big, fundamentally different.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Levi's mind!
Yes!
Found the problem!
Levi slapped Dr. Hugo on the shoulder.
"Cheer up, Dr. Hugo!" Levi brought a smile back to his face, "Alchemy exists!" And it still works! ”
"We have overlooked one point, the principle of equivalent exchange in alchemy!"
