[Gloomy dark clouds gather in the sky, and the autumn rain falls bit by bit, but it can't quench the enthusiasm of the expectant audience on the muddy road.
"Have you heard? Roya Circus is launching a new show! I heard it's great!"
"That's right! It's said to be a freak show! Haha, dear Bob, you're welcome, come with me today, I'll pay for the entrance fee! As long as you agree to introduce your cousin to me..."
Huge circus tents are set up in the entertainment district in the center of the small city of Toria, and the audience flocks.
At this time, cheers from the audience were already heard in the circus tent with gorgeous decoration and bright colors.
Under the high auditorium, on the empty performance stage, a huge iron cage was pushed out by a hot blonde.
A monster with a hideous face, a tall figure, and stitches all over his body was curled up in a cage, his eyes full of fear.
No! let me go! Don't abandon me, my father!]
—From "The Wrath of Cthulhu"
Zhou Yu was gasping for breath, sweat dripped down his pale skin, his whole body was dripping with sweat as if he had just been fished out of the water.
Zhou Yu looked at his bloody hands that were scratched by something, his eyes were confused.
This time, who has he become
Combing the sweaty hair on his forehead back, Zhou Yu began to observe this strange place.
It appeared to be a basement, and there were some huge pipes running through the ceiling of the room, what appeared to be some sewer pipes.
There are many kerosene lamps in the room, which illuminate the whole room so brightly that you can see any small corner at a glance.
There are two huge wooden shelves in the corner of the room, one is full of simple, heavy and historical books, and the other is full of glass test tubes filled with unknown liquids. The liquids in these test tubes are of different colors. Due to the refraction of the highly transparent glass, it gives people a fantastic beauty.
In the center of the room was a huge operating bed, which was covered with blood and gray-brown unknown liquid. It looked very dirty, and it was unknown what was placed on this bed before.
And beside him is a laboratory table full of silver utensils.
Zhou Yu frowned as he looked at the scalpels, long needles, pliers, and other strange tools that couldn't be named on the laboratory bench.
It seems that this is a very informal private laboratory.
When Zhou Yu woke up just now, he was lying on the ground, with a few test tubes broken beside him, and there were some messy marks in the room, as if the original owner had done some dangerous experiments and then a small explosion occurred.
Well! ! !
There was severe pain in Zhou Yu's head, as if a small hammer was constantly beating in his head. The painful Zhou Yu had to support the experimental table to barely stand.
The memories belonging to the original owner flooded in like a tidal wave, impacting Zhou Yu's weak soul. He gritted his teeth and endured the inhuman pain.
The memory gradually merged, and Zhou Yu's frown slowly relaxed.
The original owner was a young man named Kalil, with a paranoid and crazy personality, just as Zhou Yu expected. He did fall into a coma because of dangerous experiments and fell into this secret underground laboratory.
The original owner was born in a declining noble family in the imperial capital of San Lorenzo. Because his mother died of dystocia when he was born, his father Baron Baron has always been very indifferent to him. When he was two years old, he married another Viscount family. The young lady became his wife, and in the same year gave birth to his sister Catherine.
Catherine was doted on since she was born, but he, who was supposed to be the orthodox heir, was treated coldly. Under the deliberate neglect of his stepmother, he couldn't even eat enough when he was a child. This kind of experience made his character very distorted. He wants to get ahead and take revenge on his father's family.
He originally studied in a noble school with the support of his mother's family, and was expected to achieve meritorious service after graduation and become a new nobleman. However, he was found to have zero magical physique when testing the suitability of spellcasting, and could not learn spells at all. Originally, this was nothing, he could still go to the Alchemy Academy to learn mechanics, which was also a way out.
But his younger sister was found to be a spellcasting genius, and was accepted as an apprentice by a master spellcaster, and was directly designated as the heir by Baron Barrow. In order to maintain Catherine's status as the legal successor, the baron forcibly ordered him to drop out of school and leave the imperial capital.
Speaking of this, we have to mention the background of this world.
This world is similar to the Middle Ages in the West on Earth, where technology has developed to the point where steam engines are everywhere.
People in this world use steam engines at their peak. Steam airships, steam submarines, and steam robots have all appeared in the world, but there is no trace of the arrival of the electrical age. It can only be said that this is a technology tree that is completely different from Zhou Yu's original world. The world has moved.
On the other hand, there is mysticism that is popular in the world. Although spellcasters, evil spirits, and monsters are rare in number, they all really exist.
And this world is very big, much bigger than the earth. Just look at the country where the original owner currently belongs, Toria, which has a population of nearly 500 million, but it is only a middle-ranked country on this continent.
Toria occupies nearly two-thirds of the land area of the previous Z country, but it is more than twice as small as the most powerful empire on the mainland, Faroan, and it only occupies a very small part of the continent.
Not to mention that there are still two-thirds of the area on this continent that humans have not yet explored, and this world has not yet detected whether there are other continents on the other side of the ocean. Zhou Yu was extremely shocked by these.
The size of this world is a miracle. It is conservatively estimated that it can be as big as two earths!
Closer to home, the consequence of rampant occultism is that human beings are in awe of spellcasters who can release magic. Once you become a magician apprentice, even the lord of a city will treat you with courtesy.
Therefore, becoming a great spellcaster has always been Kalil's dream and the most important prerequisite for his revenge, but just half a year ago, this dream was completely shattered.
The mother's family also gave up their support for him. After all, they are just a rich merchant family with some money. They married Kalil's mother to the Barrow family in order to obtain the protection of the nobles. Now Catherine has become the sure successor. Naturally, they would not risk offending Baron Barrow to help such a waste.
In this world, the nobility is the highest status other than spellcasters, and everyone has to live under the rule of these two classes, and the power of the bourgeoisie is far less powerful than in the previous life.
Zhou Yu is very interested in the unscientific population of this world and the existence of spellcasters. From the memory of the original owner, the weak and the strong prey on the strong in this world, and the lives of ordinary people are worthless.
Although the law protects the interests of the common people, compared with the nobles, the common people are still insignificant. If a nobleman kills a commoner, he can be exempted from punishment as long as he pays enough fines, while if a commoner hurts a nobleman, he will be sentenced to death.
This world can achieve explosive population growth under such a brutal rule, and there have been no revolutionary incidents. I have to thank the deterrent power of the caster class and the high yield of food in this world.
Khalil, who knows the power of the privileged class, is naturally unwilling to be reduced to a mortal like that.
Fortunately, he learned alchemy very well. He rejected the baron father's suggestion to send him to a remote town, and took the initiative to ask the baron father who had never looked at him for a sum of money on the grounds of leaving home to practice. Promising that he would never return to this family and would not shake Catherine's status as the orthodox heir, he left the imperial capital safely.
Afterwards, he was admitted to a remote Alchemist Academy. After consulting a lot of materials in the library of the academy, he decided to create the creatures in myths and legends by himself. As long as he could create them, he would be famous all over the world. ! Take revenge on those ruthless family members!
For this reason, he asked for leave from the college, rented a house in the slums with the little money left, and conducted secret experiments in the basement of the house.
He obtained money by selling banned alchemy potions on the black market, bought a large number of corpses of strange creatures slaughtered by adventurers, and also stole the corpses of buried people from nearby cemeteries to complete his crazy experiments without theoretical support.
Of course, he failed.
Today, the creation he spent two months creating awakened, triggering an explosion in the laboratory and successfully scaring the mad scientist out.
Perhaps it was because he was full of excitement when creating this creature, and he didn't realize how terrifying and unsuitable the creation was, so he was frightened and fainted when the creature woke up.
When he recited the spell he got from an ancient book, the faint blue light erupted, and the monster on the operating bed woke up and looked at the original owner.
The terrifying monster had an exaggeratedly proportioned figure, sharp claws, and a hideous face.
The original owner completely fainted when he saw those demon-like eyes, and fell into eternal darkness.
This is all the memory of the original owner.
Zhou Yu rubbed his temples, looking lonely.
In fact, he didn't want to be reborn again and again like this, he didn't know the reason for such rebirth for no reason.
All he knew was that the one he loved had left him, and he was alone again.
Zhou Yu thought of Feng Xing's deliberately aged face in order to be with him for the rest of his life when he died in his last life.
That possessive perverted guy, I don't know how sad it will be...
Zhou Yu blinked, and the transparent water vapor in his eyes disappeared.
It's all because he lived in his eighties in his previous life before he died, and he was favored by Feng Xing all his life, which made his character weaker and weaker.
When I am old, I have many sad things, and I always want to shed tears...
[senior! I will recognize you! wait for me! ! ! us! will be together forever!]
Feng Xing's last words to him suddenly flashed across his mind, Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, and slowly took off his dirty white coat, forcing himself to calm down.
Yes, Feng Xing might be here too! He must find him!
Looking at the blood and other messy colors on the white coat, Zhou Yu took out the wallet and other things from his pocket in disgust, and then threw the clothes on the ground.
Go back and wash it!
By the way, since I'm here, where is Franken, Khalil's creation
Khalil called this creation Franken, which means "miraculous thing" in the lingua franca of the mainland, which shows how much the original owner had hoped for this creation.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yu decided to get this Franken back.
You must know that on this continent, human body alchemy experiments are prohibited. Once discovered, they will be blacklisted by the Alchemy Society of the entire continent.
In case this Franken ran out and was discovered, there was no guarantee that no one would follow the clues to find this place.
But looking at the tattered clothes on his body due to the explosion, and the wounds on his hands and face caused by the fragments of the test tube, Zhou Yu had no choice but to go back to his room, took a coat and put it on, and washed it with water. The blood on his face ran out of the room.
After leaving the house, Zhou Yu saw a set of footprints, which seemed to belong to Franken. He immediately followed the footprints to find its trace, hoping that it would not run too far.
It was evening at this time, and few civilians came out on the road. This is because the slums are very unsafe at night. After all, this is the habitat of thieves and gangsters, and it is normal to be extremely chaotic at night.
Anyway, human life is worthless. Every morning, there will be special collectors to collect corpses in the slums to prevent the plague, and at least two corpses can be cleaned up every time, which shows the poor security.
Zhou Yu has just come to this world and is still in a weak stage. He doesn't have much strength, so he can only walk quickly to find Franken. If he can't find Franken until the sky is completely dark, then he will give up and return directly to Franken. Home.
Compared with finding Franken, his life is still more important, and he wants to keep this life until Fengxing finds him.
Similarly, if Franken has a strong aggressiveness, he will give it up directly, and at worst, run away from it in the future, so that no one will find out that he is conducting human experiments.
"Hey!!! Let go, me!"
A strange beast-like cry sounded, and Zhou Yu ran over quickly, and saw a group of neatly dressed men who looked like thugs tying a huge monster with rope.
That's - Franken!
"What are you doing?" Zhou Yu frowned and shouted at these people in a deep voice.
"My lord, we are catching the animal performers who escaped from the Roja Circus!" The group of people glanced at Zhou Yu, and found that this man was a little different from the untouchables in the slums around him. He was dressed in high-end clothes. The imposing manner is also very noble, so instead of scolding him for meddling in his own business, he replied with a little respect.
"Why don't I know when my brother Franken became your animal actor?"
Franken, who was tied up with a rope, raised his head full of stitches, showing eagerness and intimacy.
He recognized it, it was his creator, his father!
In another corner of the mainland, on a small island near the sea, a group of people in black robes with strange patterns tattooed on the back of their hands recited lengthy prayers, begging for a response from the gods.
"The greatest god that has ever existed! Lord of the deep sea, master of the sky and storms, great ruler of the last era, immortal god of the sea, you belong to our soul, and we are willing to offer sacrifices to you , I just ask for a sympathetic response from you!"
In the distant deep sea, under the endless deep cold, in the darkness that never sees light, a tentacles so huge that it is beyond human imagination slightly stretches out.
The indescribable gods whispered in their deep sleep.
Who is he
