Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life...

To be honest, when I first read the comics, Sherlock was curious about how these two best friends, who were supposed to be traveling together, ended up acting as a duo.

It's unclear whether the final nanny, Shoko, understood the situation or was simply part of this strange play.

Of course, putting aside this strange combination that looks like a hostage exchange, the clash between the boy group and the youth group alone gave Sherlock a real eye-opening experience.

How should I put it? Can you imagine that the young and teenage Jay couldn't stand each other, and the young and teenage Wu couldn't stand each other, to the point that they staged a famous scene of "I hit myself" in front of Sherlock?

Sherlock and Doro were completely dumbfounded when they saw the four people fighting each other.

Good news, this combination shouldn't be some weird or unusual play.

The bad news is, they look like they're about to get serious!

Sherlock, ignoring the gossip, exchanged a glance with Doro and then decisively activated his alchemy, forcibly adding another wall to the high-rise building to separate the two pairs of best friends.

Logically speaking, the matter should have ended here, and Sherlock should have started his fun-filled life on this completely different Sakaar planet, and taken a good look at this place of exile that is completely different from the one in the movie.

However, when Sherlock used alchemy to create a wall separating the two sides, two pairs of six-eyed eyes and two pairs of squinty eyes locked onto Sherlock almost simultaneously, giving him a huge fright.

"What? Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Sherlock, being stared at by four people, subconsciously took a step back, looking warily at the four obviously not-so-normal individuals. However, what happened the next second left Sherlock completely dumbfounded.

After exchanging a glance, the two groups of close friends and their respective partners surprisingly shouted out Sherlock's name in unison.

"The alchemist, Sherlock?" *4

? ? ? ?

This time, a series of question marks popped up in Sherlock's head. Before Sherlock could figure out what was going on, the teacher, Satoru, walked out from behind the wall, squatted down, and stared at Doro, who was sitting on the tablecloth, with his six blue eyes.

"If you are Sherlock, then this adorable little guy must be the alchemical life form Doro that guy was talking about, right?"

? ? ? ? ?

As the teacher revealed Doro's identity, Sherlock's question marks multiplied. Up until now, Sherlock hadn't revealed his name or Doro's identity to anyone.

Even if someone could recognize that he was an alchemist, they shouldn't know his name. Thinking of this, Sherlock's eyes began to show a hint of wariness as he looked at the two pairs of best friends opposite him.

The four people opposite, however, did not care about Sherlock's wary gaze. After they all came out from behind the wall, they looked at each other and then smiled.

"You want to know why we know your name, right?"

Student Jay voiced Sherlock's question with a strange expression on his face, as if he was trying hard to suppress a laugh but didn't want anyone to notice.

This expression quickly spread like a virus, almost instantly to the faces of the remaining three people present.

Seeing the four people opposite him all looking like they wanted to laugh but were holding it in, Sherlock suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the next second, Sherlock's damned premonition came true.

Five years ago, a blond man came to the Clean Realm and joined our Alliance of Extraordinary Ones to protect the rare daily lives of ordinary people in the Clean Realm.

At first, the blond man was rather taciturn and rarely spoke to us. Even when we were in a team, he would leave immediately after completing a mission, as if he were waiting for something.

However, as time went by, we gradually became familiar with the blond man and learned his name: Steve Rogers.

After getting to know Steve, as the only member of the Alliance of Extraordinary Ones without a counterpart, he told us a lot about his past life, with an alchemist named Sherlock playing a significant role in the story.

For the first few years, Steve seemed convinced that the alchemist named Sherlock would come for him. However, as time passed, whether out of revenge against the elusive alchemist or fear of forgetting the past, Steve began to tell us about the dark history of the alchemist named Sherlock.

When the Monkey Extermination Cult Leader said this, it was as if he remembered something. The smile on his lips became even more uncontrollable. He covered his mouth and turned his back. Although he didn't make a sound, the trembling of his shoulders proved that this guy was not as calm as he looked.

The words that the Monkey Extermination Cult Leader hadn't finished were picked up by Teacher Wu.

“We all thought Steve was joking at first. After all, this is Sakaar, a planet completely cut off from the outside world and isolated on a cosmic level. Until we met you today, Sherlock.”

After saying this, Teacher Wu seemed to remember something and turned away, covering his mouth and laughing silently.

This time, it was the turn of the two boys in the junior group to take over the conversation. They put their arms around each other's shoulders and, as if they were twins, continued to talk to Sherlock, one sentence after the other.

"To be honest, we didn't really believe Steve's assessment of the alchemist named Sherlock at first, but the things in Steve's magical spatial bag left us no choice but to believe it."

Sherlock, you're probably the only one in the history of the Cleansing Realm who hasn't even arrived on Sakaar yet, but whose legend has already spread throughout the planet. There's even a movie based on you going to be released tomorrow, and yeah, the screenwriter is Steve.

After saying this, the two boys in the boyhood group finally couldn't help but turn around and laugh. However, compared to the young adult group, the two boys in the boyhood group obviously had less self-control and actually laughed out loud.

The laughter seemed contagious; almost the next second, all four of them couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Sherlock alone couldn't laugh; in fact, as the four people spoke, his face grew increasingly darker, turning the color of the bottom of a pot.

Damn it, Steve, you big-eyed bastard, how dare you ruin my reputation like this? It's my first time on Sakaar, and your damn name has already become a legend on Sakaar?

At this moment, Sherlock deeply regretted the random things he had stuffed into Captain America and Tony's bags to save their lives.

Seriously, if Sherlock had known it would turn out like this, he should have put some medicine to cure muteness in the bag!

Interlude of Chapter 761

Sherlock had a clear understanding of his own character. Even though the four people opposite him weren't laughing at all, Sherlock probably knew that his captain absolutely couldn't say anything good about him.

Sherlock could understand not saying nice things, after all, he had done his share of inhuman things, and even making the captain cross-dress had become a daily routine for Sherlock.

But isn't it a bit much to write a whole movie about it? Especially since that damn movie is called 'Shameless'!

The captain is openly insulting me!

What? You're asking how Sherlock knew? It's simple. There's a movie poster hanging right across from the building. Combined with the information given by the two pairs of best friends, that movie is definitely written by Captain America.

It's just that Sherlock didn't know that this thing was based on his own creation.

It would have been better if he hadn't known. After finding out, Sherlock couldn't stand the sight of that damned poster, and any guilt he felt towards the captain vanished in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the two pairs of best friends clearly knew the movie plot and even seemed eager to explain it to each other, Sherlock decisively changed the subject.

It was Sherlock's interruption that made the cult leader, Jay, and his student, Satoru, remember that they had other tasks. They not only had the task of guiding newcomers, but also the task of patrolling and eliminating invading monsters from the filthy world.

I had already been delayed for a long time because of my conversation with Sherlock. The reason why Teacher Wu came was because there was no progress on their mission, and he came to check on them out of concern.

After being reminded by Sherlock, the leader Jay was determined to invite Sherlock to join him on the mission, but Sherlock refused and instead chose to go with the teacher Wu to his territory to see the so-called monsters invading from the filthy world.

The reason is simple: because of the comics and anime from back then, Sherlock is more willing to believe in the teacher, Satoru, compared to the current leader, Jet.

The cult leader, Jay, seemed used to this kind of reaction. He didn't say anything about Sherlock's choice, but instead waved to Sherlock and left with his student, Wu.

Sherlock, with Doro on his head, put away his food tablecloth and followed teacher Satoru and student Jack to continue their so-called district patrol.

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.”
