[010. Alchemy Warrior]
The bed was soft, the quilt was soft, and the quilt was warm. The temperature of the whole room was kept at a constant temperature of about 27 degrees. Chu Yang was staying on the bed, never, he had never slept so comfortably. Maybe he was too tired, maybe he was too sleepy, since he came back yesterday, Chu Yang took a shower and slept on the bed. The bed was very comfortable, and Chu Yang had never slept with such a comfortable bed. Lying on such a comfortable bed, Chu Yang almost didn't think about getting up. Unfortunately, Xiao Jin did not give Chu Yang any chance to enjoy it. At about nine o'clock, he walked in with his clothes and breakfast.
Although he was reluctant and even a little reluctant, Chu Yang still got up rationally. After all, this was a strange environment, and Chu Yang didn't know what was waiting for him. So he had to get up honestly, wash up very honestly, finish breakfast honestly, and honestly follow Xiao Jin to a magical place. Then, when he saw him for the past fourteen years, he had never thought about, never seen, and never knew anything.
This is a huge room, to be precise, a strange room, the room adopts a "back" shape. There is a small room in the middle and a large room outside. The small room is a large deep pit, more than 20 meters deep. It is separated by a special tempered glass, so that people in the big room can clearly see everything in the small room. No, to be precise, it seems to be specially for people to see. When Chu Yang leaned over and looked over with Xiao Jin, he was frightened to find that behind the glass was not a room or a deep pit. It was a captive room.
Yes, it is a captive room. In this captive room, there is a monster that Chu Yang had never seen before, tied up by an iron chain as thick as an adult's calves. The monster is very ferocious, like a big lizard, and can actually walk upright. The hind legs are particularly developed, and the front legs can no longer be said to be legs, but they look like arms. The ferocious face bared its teeth, grinned its mouth, and the sticky saliva flowed out from the gaps between its teeth.
Seeing Xiao Jin and Chu Yang's appearance, they immediately roared at the two of them. They seemed to be showing off their power and jumped up suddenly. With a tight jump, they jumped more than ten meters high. Unfortunately, they were struggled by the long iron chain and fell back. With a "bang", they hit the ground. It was terrifying, so terrifying! It's really hard to imagine that if there were no that iron chain, the monster would jump in front of him with just one jump.
However, just like this, it was so scared that Chu Yang took a few steps backwards, sat on the ground with one eye wide open, and couldn't speak at all. Looking at Chu Yang like this, Xiao Jin rubbed his fluffy hair lovingly and asked, "How is it, don't you feel a little incredible?"
Chu Yang nodded foolishly, and was so shocked that he didn't know how to answer. However, Xiao Jin shook his head helplessly and said, "The thing below is called an artificial life body. However, I feel that calling them monsters is more appropriate. Alas, to put it simply, the thing below is not created by God. And what makes them is us humans. Not bad, we humans. To be more precise, the one who makes them is an alchemist."
Chu Yang looked at Xiao Jin in confusion and asked, "Alchemist? What is an alchemist? Are you an alchemist?"
Xiao Jin shook his head and said, "I am not an alchemist, I am an alchemist!"
Chu Yang became even more confused. Alchemist and Alchemist. Although it was only a word difference, its meaning was very great. With a very puzzled expression, Chu Yang looked at Xiao Jin and asked, "Can you explain to me, what's going on?"
Xiao Jin nodded and said, "I brought you here today to tell you what's going on. Alas, to be honest, I still don't want you to know these secrets, because after hearing these secrets, it will only harm you and will never be beneficial. Finally, I'm confirming whether you want to know or not. Because after knowing this secret, your life will no longer belong to you."
Chu Yang smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I still have a chance to hesitate when it comes to this?"
Xiao Jin shook his head helplessly and said, "Indeed, there is no more. Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you anymore, I'll tell you!"
When Chu Yang heard that Xiao Jin was about to expose these secrets that he had never thought about and had never paid attention to, he immediately listened intently. As he deepened and understood, as the fog opened, and with Xiao Jin's explanation, Chu Yang gradually understood one thing, what happened to these things in a short while.
It turns out that Xiao Jin is an alchemist soldier trained by the Alchemist Association. If you want to talk about this alchemist, you have to start with alchemist. Perhaps, when you first hear about alchemist, you will think that alchemist should be about how ordinary metals are refined into rare metals. For example, a piece of ordinary iron is refined into gold. In fact, this is not the case. Refining ordinary metals into rare metals is just a kind of alchemist. The real alchemist is about seeking immortality.
Immortality is the greatest temptation of all temptations by mankind. In history, human beings have hoped to live forever and have made various attempts. Among all attempts, the fantasies and skills of alchemists are the most commonly used. Alchemist is a name that originated in the 12th century Europe. By the eighth century AD, alchemist really began. Gold making did not occupy an important position. Alchemists pursue pharmaceuticals, and immortality was their main goal. In a sense, it is very similar to Chinese alchemists.
Western alchemy can be traced back to the Hellenistic period. The earliest and most reliable representative is Zoximos. Zoximos, who lived about 350 to 420 AD, believed that there was a substance that could magically cause the metal to change as people wanted. His name for this substance was introduced to the Latin system through Arabic and was called "Elixirvitaev" (elixirvitaev), which is similar to what China calls "the best magical medicine" - "Golden Pill".
Alchemists are pursuing this kind of human limits and immortality, and many unexpected things have happened. For example, alchemists believe that through alchemy, not only can they obtain eternal life, but they can also create life like God. For this reason, many alchemists are trying to refine life, but this taboo technique has never been successful. It also brings a lot of negative impacts. For example, artificial life forms are one of them.
To put it bluntly, artificial life forms are unnatural products, collectively referred to as the third type of existence. Because alchemists always want to pursue their own strength, these artificial life forms will always have some strange abilities. At the beginning, these artificial life forms were created and their intellectual development was limited, so they could easily be destroyed. However, when an alchemist created an artificial life form with very low abilities but very developed intelligence in an error experiment, it led to the artificial life form with wisdom doing a series of evil things. From then on, an organization called the third type of group was born.
Artificial living bodies are very powerful. While having powerful abilities, they also use humans as food. However, there is not no reason for artificial living bodies to feed on humans. Because artificial living bodies are created after all, even if they have a perfect body, they have no soul. In alchemy, souls are also a very important thing. Artificial living bodies have no soul, so they must find a way to have souls. So they eat people, to be precise, just swallow the souls they have in the human body.
In any case, eating people means eating people. Faced with the artificial living bodies that eat people, the alchemists tried to remedy it. For this reason, the Alchemist Association was also born. While pursuing life, they also began to make alchemy weapons. They organized an alchemist warrior who specialized in using these weapons to hunt down the third type of existence.
