Perfume Alchemist

Chapter 16 Memory in Smell
After the lines on the door lit up, Ahao could smell the seductive smell emanating from the door became more and more obvious and intense.

With the creaking sound, the door gradually opened towards Ahao.

It's done!Ah Hao's heart was beating fast, and the fragrance coming from behind the door made his breathing greedy.

After a gap visible to the naked eye appeared, the door opened faster and faster.

Until finally, the door seemed to be pushed from the inside.

The whole door suddenly opened wide, and endless radiance slanted out from it.

Then came a strong wind, a wind made of smells.

Ahao opened his arms to welcome the storm of smell, his clothes were blown violently.

The strong smell on the wind made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Amid this storm of incomparably rich smells, Ah Hao suddenly thought like a philosopher.

He realized that human olfactory memory is actually stronger than other sensory memories.

It's just that human language is too simple, too simple to describe one ten-thousandth of what he smells.

But humans, and most animals for that matter, have the ability to associate smells with memories.

The smell is sweet, reminiscent of candy, chocolate and honey.

The rich smell of earth and grass brings to mind summer days before a storm.

Smelling the smell on the clothes of a close person will remind you of all the bits and pieces of your life with him.

Is it smell that connects memory in series?

Or is it memory, which is inherently contained in the smell?
What would it be like if the world's subtlest, oldest, most stunning scent, and all the memories it carries, were sealed inside a single door?
Ah Hao is experiencing all this now.

What gushes out of the door seems to be all the good smells that have ever appeared in the world.

Carrying information, knowledge or memory, these scents rush out of the door cheerfully, as if cheering for the long-lost freedom.

Ah Hao closed his eyes, concentrated on feeling with his nose, and remembering with his sense of smell.

With every breath, a huge amount of mysterious smell was inhaled into his body.

He felt that he had realized a lot.

But after a brief enjoyment,

What followed was a painful feeling like drowning.

Smells and memories, there are just too many!Too much for him to bear!

People can cover their eyes not to see, people can cover their ears not to listen, people can shut their mouths not to speak, but they have to breathe, so people can never escape the attack of smell!
If a person stays in a place with a strong smell alone for a long time, his sense of smell may gradually become numb, and he will gradually lose that smell.

But Ah Hao couldn't do it, the breath gushing out from the door was changeable and rich, continuously washing away the upper limit of his sense of smell.

He felt he had to hurry to the point.

[Divide the earth from the fire, extract the essence from the rough! 】

This sentence suddenly appeared in his mind.He tried his best to capture the information and knowledge related to this sentence from the violent wind.

He feels it!
Following his wishes, some of the scents seemed to come alive, actively lingering around him.

He seemed to smell metal and fire and potions.

The knowledge of separation, purification, and sublimation settled in his heart.

But then he felt a strong sense of dizziness, and his mind was protesting to him!

No, he has to close the door!
With his hand against the storm of smell, he walked to the side of the door step by step.

"Shut it up! Shut it up for me!"

He gritted his teeth and shouted, exerting strength with his arms, pushing hard towards the heavy door.

Fortunately, the door cannot be pushed open, but it can be closed.

And after one door was pushed, the other door also moved.

Pushed hard by Ahao, the door gradually closed reluctantly.

In the end, only a faint fragrance can come out from the crack in the door.

After a while.

Ah Hao supported his knees with his hands, leaned over and breathed the air with his mouth, like a thin student who had run for several kilometers in a row.

Ah Hao felt as if he had been thoroughly smoked, tears and snot coming out uncontrollably, he kept wiping his face with his clothes.

This door smells too strong!

Fortunately, most of the smells in this door are beautiful and have rich connotations.

But the smell in Fanmen is a bit stinky, he is about to vomit now.

After a while, he felt better.

Just a little buzzing in the head.

He has benefited greatly from this storm of smells that seem to contain endless knowledge and truth!
"Did you succeed? Judging by your current appearance, it seems to be successful?" Mrs. Nuo Sen surrounded her with concern, but her tone was full of doubts.

"Well, it worked." Ahao was panting all the time when he spoke.

"How did you push the door open? What did you see in the door?" Mrs. Nuo Sen suddenly asked eagerly, but then made a prohibitive gesture.

"Wait a minute, take a rest first." Mrs. Nuo Sen took the candle from Ah Hao's hand, and handed it along with the key to the accompanying nun.

Mammy turned and left silently. From the beginning to the end, Ah Hao didn't hear a word from her.

Ah Hao and Mrs. Northen found a bench and sat down.

"Okay, now we can talk. There is a door that cannot be pushed, but there is a key to open it. I am looking forward to your story."

Ah Hao cleared his throat, "The key to open the door is a, uh, password, so to speak. After I said this password, the door opened by itself."

"Password?" Mrs. Nuo Sen narrowed her eyes in confusion, "You mean, open sesame?"

"Haha, no ma'am, it's a puzzle. After I went back that day, I suddenly recalled that there was a puzzle on the door. After I solved the puzzle and read the answer, I understood."

"It's the words you said before, I'm old, I didn't hear them clearly, can you repeat them for me?"

Ah Hao remained silent. After accepting the baptism of the door, he suddenly realized that those eight words contained infinite secrets, and he was a bit reluctant to say them.

The atmosphere gradually became awkward.

Ah Hao felt a bit embarrassed, on the one hand was Wen De's grandma who helped him a lot, and on the other was the secret he wanted to keep.

"It's okay, you don't need to say it if you don't want to, young people don't have a little secret." Mrs. Nuo Sen took the lead to break the deadlock.

Ahao smiled gratefully at her.

"You know that Wende never opened his door, and I just hope to find more ways from you so that this kind of thing will happen less in our family." Madam Northen sighed.

"Grandma Nuo Sen, I can tell you everything else. After I pushed the door, I found that the pattern on the door was combined into a half sentence, and I solved the puzzle based on this half sentence."

"Words made of patterns on the door?" Mrs. Northam seemed thoughtful.

Ah Hao continued: "As for opening the door, there is a strong smell blowing in your face, you must have smelled it too, right?"

"Smell? I didn't smell it?" Mrs. Nuo Sen looked at Ahao suspiciously.

　For a taste of the storm of smells as you push open the door, consider buying a can of herring online.Guaranteed to help you open the door to a new world.
