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

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!

Sherlock's lips curled into a slight smile as he plopped down in a chair next to the table, picked up the tablet, and began examining its contents.

According to the information on the tablet, the entire tower is divided into three areas. The bottom level is the commercial area, which combines entertainment, commercial weapons forging, and even training grounds.

It covers a vast area, and has everything that exists outside, as well as things that don't exist outside.

In other words, within the commercial area below, you can have almost anything you want, regardless of whether it would be illegal outside the tower.

The middle level is the residential area, where most of the superhumans of the Pure Realm live. Interestingly, aside from the differences in room size due to body size, almost every room is configured the same as the room Sherlock is currently in, and no changes are allowed.

In other words, you can't take over other people's rooms just because you have money. Each person has one and only one room, and the room size cannot be changed unless an application is made on the tablet due to uncontrollable factors.

The only uncontrollable factor is the small room size caused by changes in body shape.

Just like the Hulk and Dr. Banner in their normal state, the room where Sherlock is usually is more than enough for Dr. Banner, but it is quite cramped for the Hulk.

Furthermore, any fighting is strictly prohibited inside the tower except in the training grounds, and even deathmatches are forbidden within the training grounds. Unless something unexpected happens, the Hulk's size will remain constant, like Dr. Banner in the future.

As for the top level of the remaining tower, it has been designated as a restricted area. Access to the upper level of the tower requires authorization. If someone forcibly enters, they will be regarded as an intruder by the Clean Realm, and a high bounty will be placed on their head. They will be ostracized by the entire Clean Realm without exception.

According to the tablet, if someone forces their way into a high-level building, they won't even be exiled; they'll only face death.

However, these rules made Sherlock frown even more. The reason was simple: the rules inside the tower were actually creating a utopia for the superhumans based on these rules.

In other words, if you follow the rules of the tower, you are a member of the utopia; if you break them, you will fall from the clouds to the ground.

Most importantly, although at the beginning, the cult leader Jay repeatedly told Sherlock that the duty of the superhumans in the Cleansing Realm was to eliminate the invasion of the Impure Realm and protect the daily lives of the Cleansing Realm's civilians, Sherlock actually did not see any regulations related to the civilians outside the slab inside.

In other words, the superhumans inside the tower do not actually prohibit superhumans from persecuting ordinary people; the only remaining standard is that they cannot be discovered!

Or to be more precise, don't give them any leverage. As long as you don't give them any leverage and follow the rules, this is a paradise for the extraordinary.

Chapter 764 An Unconventional Drinking Party

As we all know, the so-called utopia, although it looks like a paradise, is in reality not as wonderful as it seems. Moreover, Sherlock absolutely does not believe that this place is really a so-called utopia.

Keep in mind that this is Sakaar, the cosmic junkyard, a place known as a place of exile. The probability of a utopian society emerging here is about the same as winning five million in the lottery and being pursued by Liu Yifei.

Furthermore, the cult leader Jay was talking about a dimensional matter. The so-called Pure Realm, Impure Realm, Chaotic Realm, and Dirty Realm are definitely not ordinary dimensional existences. You must know that the energy of the dimensional lord is not such a simple matter.

Given the Grandmaster's comical level, calling him the Lord of Dimensions is really a bit of a disregard for a being like Dormammu, even though this is Sakaar.

The so-called dimension theory can only fool people who don't know the truth; Sherlock would never believe it.

Most importantly, the moment those two pairs of best friends advanced, the awkward feeling that lingered in Sherlock's heart never subsided, and it even intensified after they reached the tower.

It's obvious there's a big secret here, but for now, Sherlock has only just arrived and hasn't figured out what the so-called 'Lord Tianyuan' is up to.

Moreover, with the captain still in their hands, Sherlock couldn't just launch an attack without fully understanding the situation.

As luck would have it, just as Sherlock was thinking about the captain, there was a knock on the door. The knocking interrupted Sherlock's thoughts, which annoyed him a bit. However, when Sherlock opened the door, the scene in front of him still left him somewhat taken aback.

Because standing in front of Sherlock was none other than Captain Steve Rogers.

However, at this moment, Sherlock almost didn't recognize the captain.

The captain standing at Sherlock's door no longer looked like he did when he first set off from Earth in his all-black combat uniform. He was now wearing a cowboy hat typical of Western cowboys, a leather vest, a large beard, and trousers with a distinctly Western style.

Through the shirt beneath the leather vest, Sherlock could still vaguely see the black combat suit the captain had brought from Earth, except that only one of the two shields on the arm remained.

Most importantly, the captain had a revolver hanging on his waist and a samurai sword hanging on the other side.

This damned eclectic style left Sherlock completely stunned. He even had to double-check before recognizing the person in front of him as the captain.

The captain's reaction completely surprised Sherlock. After Sherlock opened the door and confirmed that Sherlock recognized him, a frivolous smile immediately appeared on the captain's face.

After raising his arms and enthusiastically pushing Sherlock into the house, he greeted Sherlock with great excitement.

"Su Nuo! You really came! I knew you would never abandon me. It's been so long, I missed you so much!"

The captain called out Sherlock's pseudonym name instead of his real name, which made Sherlock narrow his eyes slightly. He didn't reply, but instead crossed his arms, wanting to see what the captain was up to.

The captain seemed to have expected Sherlock's reaction completely, paying no attention to it whatsoever. Instead, he put his arm around Sherlock's shoulder and spoke to him very enthusiastically.

"Come on, come on, I'll treat you to a drink! I've been here for five years, and I've made some friends. Let me introduce you to them, and I can also show you some of my new skills!"

After saying this, the captain grabbed Sherlock's arm and pulled him toward the room without saying another word. However, Sherlock noticed that when the captain pulled his arm, he deliberately chose the arm that Sherlock had used to draw blood, and even pressed hard on the needle hole that Sherlock had just used to draw blood while pulling him.

Seeing the captain's demeanor, even if Sherlock were stupid, he would know that the blood draw just now was definitely suspicious, and there was a high probability that there was surveillance inside the tower, which prevented the captain from showing any abnormality.

That's why Sherlock didn't refuse the captain. He was pulled out of the room by the captain and, following the captain's instructions, took an elevator to the commercial district below the tower.

This was Sherlock's second visit to the commercial area inside the tower. However, compared to the first time he was brought here by Teacher Wu and only caught a fleeting glimpse, this time, with the captain leading the way, Sherlock had a much more thorough look around.

It must be said that the commercial area inside the tower is quite developed, with a wide variety of shops that exude a cyberpunk vibe, and the things they sell are truly astonishing to Sherlock.

If I had to pinpoint the difference between this and cyberpunk, it would be that the commercial area inside the tower lacks the dark alleyways found in cyberpunk.

The entire commercial area was brightly lit, and the roads were so clean and tidy that it was almost excessive.

Along the way, the captain chattered away, introducing Sherlock to the goods and functions of the surrounding shops, as if they were old friends he hadn't seen in a long time.

The captain's enthusiasm only vanished after he led Sherlock into a bar and into a private room, though he still maintained that warm smile on his face.

Meanwhile, some people were already seated in the private room, and among them were two people Sherlock was very familiar with: one was the cult leader, Jay, whom he had just met, and the other was the teacher, Wu.

As for the remaining few people, although Sherlock had never met them before, he could still recognize them to some extent from some of their characteristics.

The guy with long, dark red hair tied in a half-ponytail, a knife hanging at his waist, and earrings on his ears looked exactly like a grown-up Tanjiro from Demon Slayer.

Aside from Tanjiro, the other guy sitting next to him was undoubtedly more eye-catching.

There's no other reason than that this person is simply too tall, and his clothes are also extremely distinctive, making him easily recognizable.

Corazon!

Doflamingo's younger brother from One Piece, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. His ability is the Silent Field, which can make all sound disappear within a certain range!

Strangely, after the captain led Sherlock into the private room, neither the cult leader Jie nor the teacher Wu Tongyan, who knew Sherlock's identity, revealed it to him. They continued to call Sherlock by the name he used under his pseudonym, Su Nuo.

Not only that, but he even enthusiastically invited Sherlock to drink with him, though the teacher was drinking juice.

The six people, including Sherlock, drank and chatted in the private room, showing no signs of anything amiss. They didn't discuss anything related to the Cleansing Realm, only talking about random gossip and amusement. Sherlock could also sense that Corazon's power was actually shrouding the room the whole time.

It wasn't until after several rounds of drinks that Sherlock finally managed to piece together the message the captain wanted to leave him, during a brief moment when the captain was drunk and interacting with him.

"Agreed to stay inside the tower."

Chapter 765 A Drinking Party Packed with Information

After delivering the message to Sherlock, the captain clearly began to relax, and the conversation shifted from gossip to his observations of the so-called Pure Realm.

Through the captain's conversation, Sherlock sketched out a simple map of the Pure Land in his mind.

The entire Pure Realm is a large residential area with the central tower where they reside as its core and six branch towers as its guards. The six branch towers are located in the six directions of the tower, forming a kind of circular archway.

Between the central tower and the surrounding branch towers lies a vast expanse of farmland in the Pure Realm, while beyond the branch towers is a forest stretching for tens of kilometers around the entire Pure Realm, known as the Misty Forest.

That forest is shrouded in a poisonous mist all year round, and it was also the outpost for the invasion of the Pure Realm by the Impure Realm. However, due to the terrain and the poisonous mist, even though people from the Pure Realm knew something was wrong there, they would not casually step into the misty forest.

Of course, there are always one or two days each year when the fog in the Misty Forest dissipates, and that is the time for the Purification Realm to eliminate the monsters hidden in the forest.

Almost every year, the Pure Realm sends out so-called superhuman expeditionary forces to clear out the monsters in the Misty Forest when the fog dissipates.

As for what lies beyond the forest?

Of course, some extraordinary individuals would be curious about this question. After all, in the original world, most extraordinary individuals were the chosen ones, so they would naturally be suspicious of the so-called Cleansing Realm.

However, the reality is quite cruel. It's not that no one has left the Misty Forest to see what lies beyond it, but rather that after seeing what lies beyond the Misty Forest, they have become even more convinced of the so-called Pure Realm Dimension.

The reason is simple: outside the Misty Forest lies an endless sea of ​​garbage!

After all, this is Sakaar, the garbage dump of the universe. It is perfectly normal for a sea of ​​garbage to appear here. Or rather, the most difficult thing is that a 'paradise' like the Pure Realm has been preserved in such a sea of ​​garbage.

As for other things like the Impure Realm, it's mostly because the people of the Pure Realm have personally witnessed the invasion of the Impure Realm, with a monster the size of Godzilla crossing the Misty Forest to attack the Pure Realm.

According to legend, the superhumans of the entire Pure Realm suffered heavy casualties in that battle, and even the cities were severely damaged. However, the outcome was relatively good. They destroyed the giant monster that the Impure Realm had released to attack the Pure Realm, and the Impure Realm has remained peaceful until now.

None of the people present at the scene of that battle participated, but they had personally witnessed the videos and evidence, which cannot be faked.

Sherlock listened silently to the information his captain and the others present revealed to him in a casual tone, and quietly organized it without saying much.

It wasn't until after a few rounds of drinks that the captain started clamoring to show Sherlock his new skills and dragged him to the arena inside the tower.
