Perfume Alchemist

Chapter 199 Broken Tentacle
"How do you do research from a distance?" Ah Hao frowned.

"What exactly are you talking about? I thought we were here to peek at the research report." Illya looked at Ahao in confusion.

"You've seen this thing before, Illya. It's not a report, but a living thing."

Mike lifted off a heavy raincloth beside him, and at the same time used the lighting device in his hand to shine forward.

In the transparent box, a broken limb is being locked by chains everywhere.

The purple-black tentacles of adult female height, even under the restraint of chains, twisted extremely restlessly.

The tentacles are thick at the bottom and become thinner as they go up.What makes people shudder all over is the mouth covered with tentacles.The fangs and sharp teeth in the mouth are constantly opening and closing.Oddly enough, the opening and closing sounds don't give away at all.

Ilya took two steps back: "It's this thing, isn't this the small piece of tentacles that broke off that day!"

"That's right, that's it." Mike nodded affirmatively
"It's still 'alive'?" Ahao lowered his head and looked at the bottom part of the tentacles.The cut surface there is as smooth as a mirror, and there is no bodily fluid oozing.

"When I saw it for the first time, I thought it was incredible."

The light in Mike's hand shook the tentacle.The tentacles twisted faster.

Ah Hao found it incredible, this tentacle clearly only opened his mouth, how did he feel the light?

"Who tied him up? Has that man contracted a strange disease?"

"It was made by [Chain]. It was also collected by that guy at the beginning. It is said that she got a very rich reward." There was a trace of sourness in Mike's words.

"I think she is fine, but there is no sign of infection. At the beginning, many people should have been exposed to it, and I haven't heard of anyone who has been exposed to it and then became ill."

"Contact is definitely not the cause of the disease." Ilya suddenly spoke from behind.

"Shirley has never encountered that monster. At most, she just exchanged glances with it. But she is still unconscious."

"What about air transmission? I remember that some diseases can be transmitted through the air? But don't worry, this box is very powerful, it can isolate smell and sound inside."

"No wonder I didn't smell it." Ah Hao suddenly realized.

"However, air transmission is impossible. If it is air transmission, it is estimated that a large number of people present will all mutate on the spot."

"I'm wondering, do those four tentacles have different abilities?" Illya guessed.

"The ones with mouths eat. The ones with suction cups drag, the ones with claws kill, and the ones with eyes... let people get sick."

Mike was puzzled: "Aren't eyes for seeing?"

"No, Illya should have noticed the same thing as me." Ahao asked for the light tube from Mike.

It sweeps the light across the tentacles and moves away after a while.There are obvious differences in the performance of tentacles under different lighting conditions.

"Obviously, this tentacle has vision. At least it has basic light-sensing ability."

Ah Hao knocked on the transparent box, and the tentacles obviously became more violent, trying to sneak towards him.

"Maybe it still has hearing, it's amazing."

"It's a pity that this box is a bit in the way, otherwise we can test whether it has a sense of smell."

"Forget it, this box is very good, don't break it." Ilya pulled Ahao's clothes. "Without this box, I'm also a little scared."

Ahao looked at the box melancholy: "But I want to use this to study mutations, how can I do it through the box."

"This box cannot be opened." Mike shook his head. "It is not only a safeguard, but also a seal. If the box is incomplete, an alarm will be issued, which will immediately attract the attention of others."

"Hmm." Ahao cut off the idea of ​​organizing a little research.

"Mike, let's light a fire and see if it responds."

The flames flickered, and the tentacles flinched for the first time.

Without direct contact, Ahao conducted various tests.Although the understanding of the tentacles has deepened a lot, no clues related to "mutation" have been found.

"No, let's go. I feel like I've stayed too long."

"Okay." Ahao nodded.The three immediately left the Special Operations Department the same way.

Ahao and Ilya took off their uniforms and returned them to Mike.

"How is it, is there any progress?"

"A little bit. Now I feel that the key to the matter is not in this tentacle." Ahao scratched his hair, "Even if it is opened for me to study, I think it is useless. It may not be the [source] I am looking for. I actually quite agree with Illya's point of view, the key to the matter should be which eyeball tentacles."

Ilya nodded: "No rush, take your time."

"It seems that [Warlock] still needs to be found, he must know the reason for all this."

"Hey, did you find the whereabouts of [Rage Thunder]?" Ahao looked at Mike.

"No." Mike shook his head very disappointed, "Mr. Saul must be waiting for me somewhere to save him. But Agadi is too big, I really don't know where he will be."

"Okay. Let me know if there is any news. I think you can go to the lower city more, it is more likely."

"Um"

After the three of them got together and chatted for a while, they split up.

Mike is going to continue looking for Nu Lei.Ilya wanted to check Shirley's situation.When Ahao sent Ilya to the hospital, he found that the supervision there had become more stringent.

No one can enter except Illya, who is registered as a guardian.After Ah Hao and Yi Liya parted helplessly, they returned to the lower city.

After he opened the store door, what he saw was a duo fishing with nothing to do.

Payne stood up immediately: "Boss, are you back? The business in the store is very bad today."

"It's not surprising, don't worry about it."

"Boss, there is an uncle looking for you. I don't know him. He said he came to teach chemistry." Candy conveyed a message.

"Oh? What about others?"

"I was smoking in the alley next to me, I didn't leave."

Ah Hao hurried out of the store.

In the alley intertwined with copper pipes and iron frames, a wisp of green smoke curled up.A man in a white shirt and khaki trousers was smoking a cigarette silently against the railing.He had a shaggy beard and looked quite downcast.

"Hi, I'm [Desperate] Ahao, are you here to pick up the mission?"

He snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, and extended his hand enthusiastically to Ahao: "That's right. My name is [Brocade] Black, and I want to confirm, is it 25 points for a class?"

"Yes." After Ahao checked his task paper, he walked into the studio with him through the back door.

"That's good. Enough to buy a week's worth of ingredients."

Ah Hao glanced at him, didn't say what he wanted to say, but asked, "Why do you call [Brocade]? It doesn't sound like the school of illusion."

Blake grinned and opened his hands.

Vibrant colored lines appeared in his hands, gradually interweaving a three-dimensional building.The light architecture is lifelike, and all the details are vivid.

Ah Hao could tell at a glance that it was his small two-storey building.
