Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

Unlike in the comics, in the comics, sorcerers rely on information provided by 'windows' to carry out missions, forming a complete system with 'assistant supervisors' in the logistics.

However, it's obvious there won't be any windows or any auxiliary monitoring here, and the monsters invading from the filthy world aren't real cursed spirits; everyone can see them.

Because of this, their patrols became true patrols, and the function of finding information about monsters was replaced by a pure white talking butterfly.

The butterfly looked a bit like the Hell Butterfly from Bleach, but its color was completely different. According to Teacher Satoru, it was the ability of one of their teammates. Because he was not good at combat but only good at reconnaissance, he was assigned to be a reconnaissance officer.

This is a perk unique to the area they are in charge of. Of course, other areas also have such support staff, but their functions are not exactly the same.

Unsurprisingly, the Armstrong Cannon that Sherlock saw when he landed was the so-called monster from the corrupted world. However, to Sherlock's dismay, that damned Armstrong Cannon was actually one of the better-looking ones.

Sherlock was speechless; those monsters were all incredibly abstract and ugly in every way imaginable.

What left Sherlock speechless was that Xia Youjie's spell manipulation technique wasn't effective against every one of these ugly, colorful monsters. Over the course of the night, Sherlock and his teacher Wu eliminated about seven or eight invading monsters, but Xia Youjie was only able to subdue one.

Sherlock didn't say anything about this, but his gaze towards Xia Youjie held a thoughtful expression.

Without exception, all the invading monsters that were eliminated that night were essentially possessors of dark energy, just as the cult leader Jay had said.

Only after the sun rose and illuminated the dark alleyway did Teacher Wu lead Sherlock toward a tall tower in the very center of the city.

According to the teacher's explanation, that is the core boundary of the True Pure Land. To put it simply, that is where the 'Heavenly Lord' of the Pure Land resides.

The so-called 'Lord Tianyuan' is a being similar to a dimensional lord in the Pure Realm Dimension. All newcomers, regardless of whether they want to stand up and protect the safety of ordinary people like them, need to register in the tower.

Of course, if a superhuman chooses not to join them, then they absolutely cannot use their abilities in the Clean Realm. The first time they are discovered, their abilities will be sealed and they will have to compensate for the damage caused. The second time, they will be exiled.

Furthermore, the teacher promised that after Sherlock completed his registration, he would take Sherlock to see the captain.

In response to the teacher's explanation, Shylock raised a question that sounded utterly rebellious.

"Must we register with the truth?"

Strangely, both the teacher, Satoru, and the student, Jack, fell silent for a moment when faced with Sherlock's question. The expressions on their faces were quite peculiar. In the end, it was the teacher, Satoru, who smiled and said something ambiguous to Sherlock.

"Well, who knows?"

Faced with this answer that didn't seem to be the answer to Sherlock's question, Sherlock instantly understood something.

As expected, things in the Pure Realm are not as simple as they seem, at least not as simple and wonderful as the leader Jie described. Most importantly, Teacher Wu must have sensed something, but it is unclear whether he is unable to point it out or does not want to.

But it was precisely because of Teacher Wu's reaction that Sherlock remained cautious, letting Doro crawl into his four-dimensional pocket as a trump card, while he himself used alchemy to give himself a small makeover.

The transformation was quite simple: Sherlock chose a very powerful character that the captain was extremely familiar with as his disguise. The only problem was that when Sherlock completed his transformation and appeared in front of teacher Satoru and student Jack with his new look, the two of them were a little overwhelmed.

The reason is simple: Sherlock chose the name of his disguise as Ryoumen Sukuna.

It is still the complete form of Ryoumen Sukuna with four arms, four eyes, and two mouths. Of course, the mouth on its stomach is actually disguised using a four-dimensional pocket.

Chapter 762: The Eerie Cleansing Realm

As the sun rose, pedestrians gradually appeared on the once quiet streets. At first, most of them were elderly people, followed by middle-aged people, and finally, most of them were children.

Elderly people who can't sleep get up early to buy groceries or go for a walk, while young adults get up later to go to school or work. Finally, children have the privilege of getting up relatively late.

Everything seemed normal, no different from a typical morning in Japan.

However, if you look closely, you might notice a little-overlooked fact: the elderly mostly head in the opposite direction to the young and middle-aged, heading towards the outskirts of the city, while the young and middle-aged head towards the city center, and the children mostly stay within a certain range.

Sherlock, who had transformed into Sukuna, simply watched without offering any opinion on the situation.

More importantly, despite being disguised as Sukuna and appearing to be a human, Sherlock, with his four arms and four eyes, didn't attract any suspicious glances from anyone. Even his teachers, Satoru and Natsumi, who were considered ordinary people, ignored him.

When Sherlock boarded the tram with his teacher, Wu, heading towards the city center, his awkwardness intensified.

The city had lost the 'vitality' it had last night, instead giving off a lifeless feeling.

Every pedestrian on the street seemed like a machine devoid of all emotion, focused only on themselves, numbly completing the tasks at hand.

Although everything seems normal, there's just something awkward about it, but you can't quite put your finger on what's wrong.

Teacher Wu and student Jie seemed quite used to this, smiling as they led Sherlock toward the tower in the city center.

And when Sherlock entered the tower, that awkward feeling became even stronger.

Unlike the outside world, where everything was orderly but lifeless, the inside of the tower was bustling with noise and chatter.

Most importantly, Sherlock saw many different kinds of beings here.

Members of the Demon Slayer Corps, ninjas wearing headbands from the Land of Fire, and even characters from old anime and games are moving around inside the tower.

Most importantly, none of the characters here are unique; almost every character has a large number of counterparts.

Take Gojo Satoru, for example. Besides the teacher Satoru and student Satoru he saw last night, Sherlock even saw a female Satoru wearing a skirt and Nanami Satoru.

Compared to the outside world, the interior of the tower feels more like a world within the universe of the movie 'Ready Player One'.

More importantly, the technology trees inside and outside the tower are completely different worlds. Outside the tower, the world is just like the real world, with ordinary smartphones, ordinary vehicles, ordinary food, and everything looks no different from the normal world of ordinary people.

But inside the tower is a dreamlike science fiction world.

3D stereoscopic projection billboards are everywhere here, with all sorts of otherworldly figures moving around, holding things that would never be seen outside the tower.

The various shops, buildings, and even the surreal entertainment options are completely different from the world outside the tower; they could even be described as a world of their own.

The tower's ordinary glass door almost abruptly divides the inside and outside of the tower into two completely different worlds.

After leading Sherlock into the tower, Teacher Wu excitedly ran towards a shop inside the tower with a gender-swapped version of himself. Meanwhile, Student Jie greeted him and then yawned as he headed towards a staircase, looking like he needed to catch up on some sleep.

Sherlock was left standing there, completely at a loss.

Fortunately, after only a short while, someone appeared in front of Sherlock and greeted him with a smile.

"Hello, I'm Manaka Ayumi, the new recruit guide. You must be the new recruit that Mr. Gojo Satoru, number 01, discovered last night, right?"

Looking at the high school girl in front of him dressed in a black sailor uniform, Sherlock's lips twitched slightly, but he didn't say much and nodded to the girl.

Seeing that Sherlock nodded, the girl tapped something on a transparent glass plate on her arm before smiling and continuing to speak to Sherlock.

"Would it be convenient for me to register my name?"

“Su Nuo”.

Sherlock gave his pseudonym almost without hesitation, but the name made the girl on the other side pause for a moment. She looked up at Sherlock, who was standing there with his four arms crossed, for a while before smiling and continuing to speak to him.

“Alright, Mr. Sukuna, you are the first Sukuna to come to our Pure Land. Please follow me.”

After saying this, the girl turned and led Sherlock toward an elevator inside the tower, explaining things to him as they walked.

"According to Mr. Gojo Satoru's report, he gave Mr. Sukuna a general overview of the Purification Realm last night. Next, I will take Mr. Sukuna for a simple physical examination to ensure that he will not cause any biological infection to the Purification Realm. Then, I will assign Mr. Sukuna a room."

Most of the extraordinary beings in the Pure Realm live in the tower. The tower can meet all the needs of the extraordinary beings, but we also have the responsibility to protect ordinary people.

After completing the physical examination, Mr. Su Nuo, you will have 7 days to consider whether to join the Tower. If you choose to join, you will be given a competency assessment. After the assessment, you will be assigned tasks according to your abilities.

If Mr. Sukuna does not wish to join the tower, then after seven days, the tower will provide him with a sum of money as start-up capital, allowing him to leave the tower and return to a normal life in the outside world.

Just as the girl was speaking, Sherlock suddenly interrupted her.

"Can I move around freely here during these seven days?"

The girl, interrupted by Sherlock's words, showed no annoyance. She maintained her gentle and easygoing voice, and even the smile on her face was flawless as she spoke to Sherlock.

"Of course, Mr. Su Nuo, apart from some restricted areas of the tower, you enjoy the same treatment as the extraordinary individuals here. The tower will provide you with a certain amount of spending allowance every day for your consumption within the tower."

The only thing to note is that during these seven days, in order to prevent the biological virus on Mr. Sukuna from damaging the ecosystem of the Pure Realm, please do not step out of the tower.

Specific instructions will be provided on a tablet in the room. Mr. Su Nu can review them on the tablet after his medical examination.

As the girl finished speaking, Sherlock's four eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't reply, but his awkwardness only intensified.

Chapter 763 A Man-Made Paradise for the Superhumans

Seven is a rather magical number. There are seven days in a week, seven kinds of evil, and even in Sherlock's alchemy, seven represents, to some extent, the limit of something.

And blood goes without saying. In the realm of technology, a small tube of blood can contain almost all of your biochemical information. In the realm of metaphysics, blood can even be linked to the soul.

Moreover, given the technological level inside the tower, Sherlock couldn't imagine what kind of biochemical test could take a full seven days. Even on Earth, no biochemical test would take more than 24 hours.

But inside the tower, the requirement is seven days, not three days, not a month, but seven days.

This made Sherlock somewhat wary, and when the girl in the black sailor uniform walking in front wasn't paying attention, he secretly used alchemy to make some modifications to his arm.

Strictly speaking, only one of the arms in Sherlock's cosplay of Sukuna can be considered his own. Of the remaining three, one is similar to Bucky's, which is a mechanical arm covered with flesh, and the other two are simply tentacle mimicry.

Sherlock made minor modifications to one of the tentacles' arms, separating it from the body, and used alchemy to create a small amount of artificial blood inside it.

The goal is to ensure that the fake blood is connected to one of its independent tentacles while also ensuring that the blood sample will not affect itself.

If it's just that I'm overthinking things, that would be the best outcome. But if it's not that I'm overthinking things, then I can be sure that 'Lord Tianyuan' who controls the Pure Realm won't have any impact on me.

The girl named Manaka Awakening quickly led Sherlock to a place that looked like a medical clinic. After successfully drawing blood and recording some physical data, the girl led Sherlock in another direction.

Led by the girl, Sherlock soon arrived at a lodging area inside the tower.

This looks similar to the student dormitories in Japan, only much more spacious.

It's a fairly spacious single room. To the left of the entrance is the toilet and bathroom, and further in is a square room of about 40 square meters.

The room combines a bedroom, a living room, and a single desk. On the desk sits a tablet that looks like a transparent glass plate, just like the one the girl in front of her is holding.

There was no kitchen or washing machine in the room. Further ahead was an enclosed balcony where you could see the city view that was no different from the real world.

After leading Sherlock into the room, the girl stood at the doorway and continued to introduce the room to Sherlock.

"Mr. Su Nuo, this is your room from now on. If you choose to stay, you will permanently own this room. Everything inside the room can be controlled by the tablet on the table, including the entertainment facilities."

The laundry room and kitchen are located in a room at the end of the corridor. You can use the tablet to navigate to the specific routes, and the tablet will also inform you of restricted areas within the tower.

If you want to go out, you can use a tablet for navigation. Below the residential area are the tower's exclusive commercial and entertainment districts.

At this point, the girl took out a bracelet from her bosom and handed it to Sherlock. After watching Sherlock take it, she continued speaking to him.

"The bracelet serves as your identity marker and communication tool, similar to a mobile phone in the outside world. It is also a 'wallet' for spending. A fixed amount of points will be deposited into your bracelet every day for spending. The points will be automatically refreshed at 12 o'clock every night for seven days, so you can use it with peace of mind."

My contact information has already been saved in the bracelet. If you have any needs or questions, please feel free to contact me anytime. Zhenzhong Hehuan is honored to serve you.

After saying this, the girl handed the bracelet to Sherlock, and after watching Sherlock fasten the bracelet to the separate arm used for drawing blood, she bowed slightly to Sherlock and turned to leave the room.

After the door to the room was closed, Sherlock activated his alchemy to scan the interior of the room. Including the bracelet and the tablet on the table, there were a total of 185 microphones in the room.

Of course, there were no eavesdropping devices; these 185 microphones were used in conjunction with the projection entertainment system inside the room.

However, Sherlock was certain that these microphones were definitely not just simple devices for recording audio for a so-called voice control system!
