The girl was tending flowers in the small garden behind the store, looking cheerful, lively and full of life.
Aaron took a few more glances and couldn't help but feel the magic of living body production technology.
Of course he can resurrect the dead, but there are prerequisites. One is the integrity of the body, then the time of death, then the integrity of the spiritual body, and finally the location of the soul.
Although these things are lacking, he can also use his own power to replace them, but just like the various troubles he caused when he was a child, using his power to make up for it, the deceased who is finally restored must be a twisted product.
This world doesn't even have the magic to resurrect the dead, but it can rely on living body making technology to make a dead person move so flexibly.
It made him very curious.
"She is my granddaughter." Zhao Yanmin said proudly after seeing Alon's gaze.
"But it seems..." Aaron stopped talking.
Zhao Yanmin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and was a little surprised: "Can you tell?"
He nodded in affirmation.
Zhao Yanmin said in surprise: "It's not easy to see through the reality of the living body. He is really a weird boy."
Aaron smiled and said nothing more.
The old man's expression also became a little lonely, and he no longer struggled with this topic.
Aaron thought.
Judging from Zhao Yanmin's words, it seems that the result of this living body production is not just the "resurrection" of the appearance, but the ability to fake the real thing? And the difference seems to be that the active materials of ordinary dolls cannot bring about it. "
vitality"?
"Mien'er, make tea."
"Okay." The girl responded crisply.
Zhao Yanmin took Alon into a room.
As soon as he entered the room, Aaron's nose caught a scent, which was exactly the same as the smell on Zhao Yanmin.
"The air of death is so heavy." Xing Liuli whispered beside Alon.
Aaron soon learned why.
The picture may be a bit scary, and for ordinary people, it is quite shocking.
Corpses, many corpses are displayed here, most of them are relatively well sealed in vertical coffins with ritual restrictions, and a few corpses are displayed on several tables.
These corpses were smeared with special substances, and this was the source of the fragrant fragrance.
That special substance almost stopped the decay of the corpse, but unlike pure ice, it still retained the "activity" of the body. Aaron's mind corresponded to several materials or alchemy potions that he knew could satisfy this effect, but he failed
It was found that a good and complete comparison could not be achieved.
It seems to be a unique recipe.
"So many corpses?" However, what really surprised Aaron was the number of corpses.
These corpses are quite numerous, how did they come about?
"I have signed an agreement with the association. As long as there is demand, the agreement will regularly send me several corpses for me to use as materials. These corpses were all those they decided to donate to the association before they died. Every once in a while, someone from the association will
Come and check on my use of the remains." Zhao Yanmin said.
Only then did Aaron understand.
The association is really benevolent to the living body makers, providing jobs and even providing raw materials with advanced skills.
"However, there is basically not much room for improvement in modern living body production. No producer has the thought to study how to make corpse puppets better, because even if the technology has improved, there is basically no use for it. Now like me
Most of the living body makers only study auxiliary medicine preparation and the like. It is rare for them to complete more than one hand of living dolls in a year." The old man sighed.
"Will the association have any requirements?" Aaron asked.
"There are no requirements for our research. Basically, we will support us until we die." Zhao Yanmin smiled bitterly, "However, occasionally someone will come and need our skills. Only when that happens, I will feel a little bit of this
The significance of this craft’s existence today.”
Arriving at the table in the corner of the room, Zhao Yanmin and Aaron each took a chair and sat down.
"Young man, let me ask you one last question. Do you really want to learn from me, the old man?" Zhao Yanmin asked.
"Yes." Aaron said seriously.
Zhao Yanmin nodded, feeling a little emotional: "I never thought that one day I would have an apprentice. Unexpectedly, never expected."
"Grandpa." At this time, the girl called Mian'er came in with tea. After serving the tea to the two of them, she bowed lightly and left slowly.
Aaron winked at Xing Liuli, meaning to ask her to learn more from other girls.
Xing Liuli's eyes wandered as if she didn't see anything.
Zhao Yanmin took a sip of tea and said: "The complicated etiquette is no longer necessary. Aaron, you will be my apprentice from now on. At such an old age, this is the first time for me to teach someone to take care of an apprentice. Let's bear with each other."
Different from Zhao Yanmin's appearance, after a real conversation, you will find that he is actually a very talkative old man. Moreover, Aaron can also see that perhaps because of his status as a living body maker, or due to certain experiences, this old man's
There was also a hint of inferiority in his tone.
"Well, Master, is that what you should call me?" Aaron said, feeling quite strange about this title.
"Haha, do you have the foundation of a producer?" Zhao Yanmin was called "Master", and his original depression and confusion were relieved a lot. He felt surprisingly good and asked after taking a sip of tea.
"Is the first-class producer enough?"
Zhao Yanmin almost spit out the tea.
"Ahem." After swallowing the tea and coughing twice more, Zhao Yanmin looked at Aaron: "What did you say?"
Aaron took out the first-class production engineer's certificate. He didn't expect that this thing would actually be useful, and when he took it out in front of people's surprised eyes, he unexpectedly felt a little sense of accomplishment.
"This, this..." Zhao Yanmin was fooled by Alon again.
Alon seems to have trained his puppets quite well just as an operator. Before, Zhao Yanmin thought that Alon was so talented as an operator, and he didn't know where his brain went so he left the operator alone.
I didn't want to go anywhere, so I came here to learn the unpopular living body production technology.
And now Aaron took out the certificate of this first-class producer.
Good boy! It turns out that you have already come a long way on your journey as a producer!
In this case, Zhao Yanmin can somewhat understand Alon's learning of living body production techniques. After all, it is not that there are no production masters who come to him to ask some questions, look for inspiration or learn from experience.
But he was even more suspicious of who the kid in front of him was.
He said that he was about to prepare for the unified recruitment examination, which meant he was around eighteen years old. How could he be so smart at this age that he could be so accomplished as an operator and a producer?
Zhao Yanmin feels that this is the first time in his life, and most likely the only experience of taking on a disciple. It may be a wonderful experience.
"Well, since you are a first-class producer, you don't need to get started with the basics. You just need to be familiar with some of the differences in living body production." Zhao Yanmin said.
Aaron listened quietly.
"I'll just tell you about registering as a living body maker. Remember to take a photo of some of your IDs and send them to me. In terms of specific studies, you don't have much time, and I'm not sure you can do it in less than a month.
How much will I teach you? Let’s do it step by step for the time being and wait and see based on your learning situation.” Zhao Yanmin said after thinking for a while.
Aaron thinks there is nothing wrong with this arrangement.
"Learning living body making skills is different from when you learn ordinary making. Although there are a lot of corpse materials here, they cannot be provided to you unconditionally for practice. This is disrespectful to the dead." Zhao Yanmin said seriously.
Aaron nodded, understandable.
"Therefore, I will only allow you to get started after all your prerequisite studies have reached the high standards specified by me. Before that, you have to consolidate the field, and when the situation permits, I will prepare animal carcasses for you to practice.
"
"OK."
"As long as you understand, let's touch the body first."
"Um?"
"Get familiar with the feel of a corpse. At your age, you probably have never been in close contact with a human corpse. The first step in making living bodies is to become familiar with the smell of the corpse." Zhao Yanmin said with a playful tone.
He stood up and led Aaron to a corpse on the table.
"Here, reach out and take a closer look. You can reach out and touch it." Zhao Yanmin waited to see the joke of this young man who had been acting calm and indifferent since they first met.
And Aaron, of course, couldn't be frightened by an ordinary corpse.
He had seen too many human corpses.
Although he doesn't like to leave the corpses of people who died in his hands, but directly turns them into dust. Because he doesn't really like to see the lifeless pieces of flesh, waiting for it to gradually rot.
All kinds of things in his previous life destined him to be exposed to death.
Especially the dead corpses on the battlefield were blown beyond recognition by the magic cannon, turning into burnt pieces of flesh and piled up in mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Compared with that scene, the corpse on the stage can only be regarded as childish.
The corpse in front of me is that of a young man, about twenty-five years old, relatively thin, and the cause of death seems to be cardiovascular disease, which is quite a pity.
Aaron stretched out his hand to caress his face, then moved down, across his chest, and then stopped.
"Well, it feels good." Aaron looked at Zhao Yanmin and said.
Zhao Yanmin looked at Aaron in surprise. There was really no trace of fear of death or resistance to similar corpses in his eyes.
Thinking back to when he first started practicing, every time he entered the master's studio, there was always a fight between two sides.
After the master asked him to touch the corpse, he had nightmares for several nights. He was once persuaded by the master to quit, saying that his temperament might not be suitable for this craft.
The young man in front of him once again refreshed his understanding.
Isn't this his first time touching a corpse?
Recalling that Aaron said at the beginning that he had a corpse that he wanted to move again, Zhao Yanmin became a little curious. This young man wouldn't be carrying a corpse with him, right?
In the end, I didn't think much about it. After all, it was a private matter.
"Yes, you are very talented." Zhao Yanmin put away his expression and said calmly.
The corners of Aaron's mouth raised slightly, then smoothed them down.
"Then let's get started with theory first. Let's start with the most basic, physiological structure of the human body."
