"The resurrection of the body is already a medical miracle, Choba …" Culeha touched Choba's head and murmured in a dreamy voice. "Immortality, resurrection is the ultimate pursuit of medicine. I, Dr. Culeha, am a doctor. If I can find out even the slightest secret, even if I have to make a deal with the devil, I will be willing to do it."
Choba looked at Culeha blankly. He opened his mouth but did not know how to refute. If there was a chance, even if there was only a slight possibility, no doctor would be able to resist the temptation of death. "But this is wrong," he said dejectedly.
"Choba, you still don't understand." Culeja stared at Choba and said in a low voice, "Stay in this castle. Don't ever expose your ability to think and talk like a human. You're just a reindeer. Do you understand?"
Culeha stood up, packed her luggage and walked out. Choba leaned on the window and watched Culeha being taken down the mountain by a team of murlocs.
The cold wind blew in through the cracked door. The whole castle was filled with sobbing sounds. Choba shuddered, picked up a hammer and a wooden board and walked towards the door.
"At least, I promised Culeha to look after the house."
Clang! Clang! Clang! The hammer hammered the nails into the door, and the slanted wooden board was nailed up to block the door. He climbed back onto the table and looked at the medical books spread out on the table. He began to think. "Is life and death really a field that can be conquered by medicine? Is the one holding the weight at the other end of the scale of life and death a god or a devil?"
"And what does the murlocs mean by 'army'? He also mentioned a name. Who is Yarlin? " Choba tore a piece of white paper from the book and wrote 'army' and 'Yarlin' on it with a black pen.
…
There was still a month before the banquet invited by Alabasta's military. Yarlin quietly circled around Magnetic Drum Island and planted the third broodmother nest, the Crystal Palace. He did not immediately return to Alabasta's base. Instead, he secretly appeared in the Kingdom of Cokilon on one of the merchant ships.
The Kingdom of Coquillon was an island on another route of the Grand Line. It was located on the horizontal span of the sea chart and was the distance between the two adjacent routes of Alabasta.
Arlen did not need to worry about getting lost due to the location of the transformed body, so he directly crossed the natural moat between the two shipping routes and appeared on the land of the Kingdom of Cokilon in 10 days. Under normal circumstances, he would need to return to Mount Lihuas from Alabasta, then choose a specific route to Cokilon Island, and sail over again. It would take at least two months.
The Keelung Kingdom was a small country under the World Government. The reason Yarlin appeared here was because of the information he received from Faulkner. There was a mad scientist who studied life machinery hiding on this island.
Adams: Male, 43 years old, a mad scientist who studied numerology and mechanics. Once, in order to prove his theory, he cruelly kidnapped a village of people and locked them all in a laboratory for horrifying live experiments. The entire village was transformed into half-human, half-machine monsters. Then, within half a month, their bodies all collapsed and died one after another.
After that, he carried out various cruel experiments one after another. Later, he was discovered by the World Government's spies, and his laboratory was raided. However, Adams escaped one step ahead and was not arrested in the end.
After that, he disappeared without a trace. Until recently, there was a sudden report that Adams was suspected to have appeared in a remote town in the Kingdom of Kekilon. He seemed to be secretly conducting some kind of crazy scientific experiment. The world government had sent secret spies to hunt him down.
After Faulkner learned of this information, he immediately tried to pass it to Yarlin. And Yarlin appeared here with a hidden identity at this moment. Obviously, he was not here for a vacation.
"A mad scientist who studies life machinery. The information leaked from Faulkner is very suitable for the talent I need." Yarlin looked at the town in front of him. Short, yellowed houses grew wantonly, dividing the roads covered with ash into narrow and crooked alleys. Occasionally, there were some pedestrians on the ash road, all with sallow faces and malnourished looks.
A huge chimney stood in the center of the town. It was probably the tallest building in the whole town. Gray smoke spread out from the chimney, shrouding the whole town in the shadow of haze. Muffled coughs could be heard in the streets from time to time.
"Where could Adams be hiding?" Yarlin wore a black-rimmed bamboo hat on his head, half of his face was covered. He looked up slightly and narrowed his eyes. The border town was not big, but it was not small either. It would not be easy to find Adams hiding in it.
Standing behind him was a tall and sturdy figure covered in a black cloak. Only a few sword hilts could be seen from his waist. Six Serpents sniffed. The temperature in the air was a little damp and cold, and the damp and cold were mixed with the fine residue of smoke.
"The smell in the smoke is not quite right." Six Seas took a deep breath and spat out a bubble from his throat. In the bubble, there was a mist residue that seemed to be stuck together. The residue showed rust-like stains, and the stains were still changing shape, as if they were carrying out some kind of growth replication.
Yarlin's pupils shrank slightly, then he cast his gaze at the tall chimney, and walked towards the smoking boiler room in the center of the town.
…
A bowl-shaped light bulb illuminated the cold experiment table, and a twitching man with blood spurting out of his mouth was carried onto the experiment table. Some people in white protective suits were walking around, and all kinds of instruments were connected to the man's body. The indicator lights of the instruments were flashing frequently, and the data representing various indicators were being recorded.
"What's the result?" Amidst the hoarse voice that sounded like metal rubbing against one's vocal cords, a man in a white coat appeared. His pair of eyes that were looking at the experiment table were flashing with strange electric lights like electronic devices.
"It's effective. The rust worms can reproduce in the human body. Compared to the beginning, the number has multiplied by more than 20 times." The person who answered took a scalpel and accurately tore open the throat of the living body, revealing the trachea that was stained with rust. He even reached out and pinched the trachea's hardness before sighing. "It's a pity that this human body seems to be unable to withstand such gentle transformation."
