Lord of Bugs, starting from the alchemy of life

"Name!"

"Lu Zhan!"

"Age!"

"1 8!"

"Identity,..."

...

Hierro City, outer city, the Ninth Medical Security Center, in a high-end ward.

A woman wearing a black patrol uniform was questioning a teenager whose head was wrapped like a ball.

In another corner of the room, two "temporary workers" from the police station were recording "vigorously".

……

"Identity? Um,..."

"I just became an alchemist apprentice not long ago, responsible for installing the wheels on the steam locomotive."

Perhaps out of nervousness, or perhaps due to the shyness of the young man, when asked about his identity, Lu Zhan's face changed visibly.

......

"Lu Zhan, don't hide anything, cooperate honestly and explain honestly!"

"We know your identity as a member of the Wutu Gang clearly."

"Commissioner Xin is different from us, but he comes from the Inspection Office."

"That is to say, Commissioner Xin has a good heart. In my opinion, you blind people should be put directly in the jail of the Inspection Office."

......

Hearing that Lu Zhan was "avoiding the important and taking the easy" and not fully explaining his background, Wesker, who was in charge of recording, stopped writing.

The reason why they appeared at the interrogation scene was because they were "familiar with the situation."

For example, the Wutu Gang, where Lu Zhan was born, is located in the jurisdiction of their Ninth Public Security Station.

......

"Lu Zhan, don't be nervous, and don't be scrupulous."

"Our Inspection Office treats everyone equally. As long as you have not done anything that harms Hierro City, our Inspection Office will not be biased against anyone's origin."

Seeing Lu Zhan becoming more and more "nervous" after being scolded, Xin Ya, who was leading the interrogation, turned red.

......

Xinya has experienced similar things more than a dozen times these days.

This allows her to perform with ease and ease in the interrogation even though she is just a newcomer to the inspection office.

......

"I'm not nervous, and I'm not hiding it intentionally."

"It's just that according to the rules of the Utu Gang, since I have not become a gangster when I am an adult, I am not qualified to call myself a member of the Utu Gang."

After all, he was "too young," Lu Zhan defended himself.

He was indeed raised by the Wutu Gang, but the moment he became an alchemist apprentice, he had already "severed all ties" with the Wutu Gang.

......

"Commissioner Xin, the Utu Gang does have such rules."

"The Utu Gang fled here 20 years ago and successfully established a foothold in the outer city."

"In order to enter Hierro City, the Utu Gang paid a high price. Lu Zhan and hundreds of other orphans are part of the price."

"Although the Wutu Gang assumes the responsibility of raising Lu Zhan and others, when they reach adulthood, they will often sell them directly into the alchemy factory."

"These alchemy apprentices are indeed alienated from the gangs they came from."

...

Another member of the public security station, Wang Yang, introduced the situation of the Wutu Gang to Xinya, and even told Lu Zhan's life experience in detail.

He has so much information that even Lu Zhan himself doesn’t know some details.

......

"Did you come to Hierro City 20 years ago?"

"It turned out that he was also a miserable person."

When Wang Yang mentioned 20 years ago, Xin Ya suddenly realized.

Twenty years ago, monsters in the wilderness suddenly rioted, and the small towns around Hierro City were destroyed.

The so-called Wutu Gang is an organization formed by the survivors of Wutu City.

......

During that period, Hierro City had an influx of too many outsiders.

Even if the city of Hierro welcomes all comers, it is limited by the size of the city and cannot accommodate all the refugees.

The number of places to enter the outer city is limited, and around these places, major survivor organizations have begun to compete openly and covertly.

Lu Zhan’s parents died in the chaos at that time.

......

"Lu Zhan, you must also know why we came to find you."

"This is the Ninth Medical Security Center. It is basically not open to ordinary citizens on weekdays."

"In order to save you, we have spent a lot of resources."

"If you cooperate truthfully, We will reduce the medical expenses, otherwise you will have to work all your life to pay off the debt."

...

Perhaps it was Lu Zhan's life experience that brought back some memories, Xinya's words were less cold.

But when the medical expenses reached Lu Zhan’s ears, he felt numb with cold.

Even in the previous life, (medical expenses) was a mountain that could bend one’s back!

……

"Holy shit, who said that after time travel, those who are popular and drink spicy food can lie down and enjoy life?"

"Have they ever time travel?"

"I really did time travel, but this is the beginning Isn’t it too miserable?”

……

On the hospital bed, Lu Zhan touched his head that was wrapped in a ball, and then looked at the dozen or so “high-tech” instruments connected to his body, feeling like crying without tears.

Lu Zhan had no doubt at all about the medical expenses that Xin Ya said would need to be repaid throughout his life.

......

According to the memory of his fused predecessor, his brains were knocked out at that time.

Not only the head, but also the chest was opened with a big hole.

But now, except for the dizziness in the head, other wounds on the body have actually healed.

This definitely cannot be the "credit" of time travel, otherwise Xinya and the others would not behave so indifferently.

......

"In the previous life, it would have taken a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, but now it only takes three days, and the disembowelled wounds have healed."

"The technology in this world is definitely not as simple as I thought."

"It's no wonder that a screwdriver's job is called an alchemy apprentice."

......

Lu Zhan looked solemnly at the dozen or so instruments, which were completely different from the medical equipment in his previous life.

He was naturally confused by the constantly beating curves on the instrument screen.

I can only blame my predecessor for having a "poor background".

Although he is an alchemist apprentice by profession, he is fundamentally different from the nostril-turned-up alchemist in previous novels.

......

In this world, humans have also developed industrial civilization, but they call it the power of alchemy.

For example, the steam locomotive factory where Lu Zhan worked clearly used steam engine technology from previous lives, but it insisted on claiming that it was the power of alchemy.

Otherwise, how could he call himself an alchemist apprentice when he was a laborer who installed wheel wheels?

......

"Commissioner Xin, I will definitely cooperate with your investigation truthfully."

"What you want to know is what happened on the night of the 23rd, right?"
