Chapter 343 Crazy Disease (two chapters in one)
“That’s it…then…it’s okay.”
Lin Qi still felt a little guilty, and his words were unclear.
"Have you seen it?"
"Of course."
"Are you still alive?"
"Then I'm really sorry." Lin Qi sighed, "Because I didn't understand a single word."
"What do you mean I've seen it?" The old man glared at Lin Qi and said, "I can't understand it." You are lucky to understand. You are our customer, so I would like to remind you that you should not look at it. This thing is very dangerous. "
"What is it?" Officer Natalie disliked it very much. atmosphere, but when I heard the danger, I couldn't help but ask, "What is the nature of the danger?"
"Watcher ladies are sensitive." The old man shook his head and said, "But madam, disseminating knowledge is not free, every piece of knowledge is clearly marked with a price."
Lin Qi felt his forehead jump, realizing that I'm going to have heavy bleeding today. I knew I wouldn't come, but now that I'm here, I can't pretend not to hear.
However, the old man's performance surprised Lynch. The old man only pondered for a few seconds, then smiled and said: "Forget it, since you are related to the Milt brothers and sisters, this knowledge is free. Gifted.”
Lin Qi's expression became a little subtle. Normally, there should be no telephones in this era, and the brother and sister who were chased by the dog couldn't leave. How could the old man receive the news so quickly?
"Other than them, who will mention the River of Time to you. Although we do not believe in the same Lord, we are actually the same Lord. It is normal to repay you for them." The old man took the book stand. Open, "This thing is called the Apocalypse of Glaki. It is a holy scripture compiled by the Lake Dweller Glaki for his sect. This is a manuscript, far inferior to the original, but it is still very powerful."
Lin Qi nodded, matching the clues he knew.
"There should be a whole book of Revelation, but what you got is only a few pages. I guess a few forces that worship Glachi have robbed it... What are you doing?"
"Wait a minute, I Write it down. Well, this record shouldn’t be considered a mysterious document. That’s good. I’ll write it down. You can continue.”
This is a historical secret from the Yark Dynasty, and it may exist at the same time. Several countries worship Glaaki and are still at war with each other. This must be recorded and sold to the Archaeological Association, and money can definitely be extracted from them.
"So there are only a few broken pages left, but they are still considered the most important sacred objects to the forces that worship Glaaki, so they are treasured. How did you get them?"
" A kind-hearted evil god tried his best to give it to me, but she was still unhappy when I said she didn't want it. I finally had to accept it reluctantly." Lynch silently sent his blessing to the great daughter of swelling, "She is such a good god. "
"I always feel like you are swearing, but it doesn't matter." The old man sighed and continued, "It contains a lot of taboo knowledge. People who read it will be fine at the time, but it will soon be over. You will fall into madness. But this is not the most dangerous thing. The most dangerous thing is that as long as you read any page, a headless alien with long arms and legs will approach you when you are alone and try to kill you in a sneak attack. It’s probably at level six, but as long as you defeat it once, you’ll be safe.”
Lin Qi thought of the humanoid mural he saw on the stone door of the ancient tomb, and understood that the old man was referring to the thing above. The question was, was it a level six thing, or was it attacked while living alone? Do I risk my life to defeat him?
"That's not my problem. In short, this thing is a very precious classic. For the owner, the symbolic significance is greater than the practical significance. For scholars, the research significance is greater than the practical significance. I don't Look carefully, but these pages should contain some forbidden knowledge, about Glaaki's experience of trying to become an evil god, but being destroyed by an evil god. Among them, Glaaki's contact technique, Glaaki summoning technique and repatriation technique can be learned."
So that’s it, it seems that Dr. Jenna is a member of the Glachi cult, and that’s why she summoned Glachi to trick people.
"In short, this thing is dangerous in every sense. If you want to sell it, you can put it on consignment in the library, and we will help you sell it for a good price."
Officer Natalie's lips moved He moved, but after taking one look at Lin Qi, he closed his mouth and looked away, but his expression became quite weird.
But Lynch just thought about it and took back a few broken pages of the Book of Revelation: "Forget it, I'd better find a way to deal with such a dangerous thing myself."
Otherwise, the faith of a certain unnamed police officer might have been shaken. The girl didn't know what she was thinking of. It was obviously against the purpose of the Watch, but she didn't jump out to stop it. I'm really surprised.
"Well, don't force it. There should be some scholars who want this thing. If you want to consign it, come to us anytime." The old man nodded and added, "In addition, regarding the River of Time, I suggest you consider it carefully. If you can Not many people came back safely there."
"Is there really no way to deal with those hounds?" Lynch was still a little unwilling.
"Actually, there is, but it's almost nonsense." The old man shrugged, "There is a Lord of Tindalos among the hounds of Tindalos, and he can order all hounds not to mark a person's soul. As long as you find it and get its consent , you can enter and exit the river of time safely."
"Why is it nonsense?"
"Deep in the river of time."
"..." The joke about Karazhan equipment came to Lin Qi's mind, and it turned out to be nonsense.
“Actually, there is another way.”
“Can you finish it in one go?” Lin Qi’s head was pounding, “This is not nonsense.”
"Well, that is a mysterious race. It is said that it has been inherited from the ancient mythological era. I don't know the details. It is said that they have a way to play with time without being targeted by hounds."
Um? Lin Qi's heart arose with anticipation: "Where can I find them?"
"I don't know."
"I..." Lin Qi had already picked up the chair and hit him in his mind. If he hadn't seen that he couldn't beat him, he would have done it long ago.
"But I know that there is at least one person in Rhine City who has dealt with them." This time the old man was not angry and told all the information directly, "The district bishop of Fortune Church, when he was young, he was subjected to that The help of the race is closely related to them."
Lin Qi subconsciously took out his pipe, but was stared back by the old man. He could only squint his eyes and think about it. This man's status was too high, and he didn't look like him. Trinleis is such a coincidence that it is unrealistic to come directly to the door.
It seems that I need to think long term and find another way. Although I don't plan to have anything to do with the river of time, I still have to be prepared in case the light of miracle is really that important.
After thanking the old man, Lin Qi left the knowledge library with the police officer without further delay. As soon as he went out, Lin Qi was punched on the shoulder, which made him look at the police officer inexplicably. .
This woman must be crazy. She’s so happy to hit me for nothing. It’s inexplicable.
"It's nothing." The police officer looked away and said softly: "Thank you, Lynch."
"Do you always use straight punches to thank people? And what are you thanking me for?"
< br>"Think about it, find a place to have dinner." Officer Natalie said with a smile, "Eat Maggie's dinner every day, and occasionally change the taste."
Candlelight dinner?
Lynch suspected that if he refused, his immortal journey might end early, so he nodded like a woodpecker.
I am forced to do this. It’s not that I like candlelight dinners. However, things did not go as planned. Just when the two of them were walking side by side in the nearby streets, planning to find a restaurant nearby in the river valley area, a scream suddenly disrupted all their plans.
In a shop on the roadside, the door was suddenly knocked open from the inside, and a group of customers swarmed out, screaming and running away.
Something must have happened.
Before Lynch could ask, Officer Natalie had already rushed over with her sword in hand. Lynch sighed at the aborted candlelight dinner, also picked up his cane, and pressed the index and middle fingers of his left hand together between his eyebrows.
Secret method, flash, activate.
Immediately appeared five meters away, just in time to catch up with the police officer.
I'm not so pushover anymore, ma'am.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the store, Lin Qi's heart tightened.
The scene is too familiar, I have seen it in many movies.
The store was in chaos, the shelves were overturned, one person was lying on the ground without making a sound, and another person was lying on top of her, eating her body crazily.
Damn it.
Lynch realized that this should not be a biochemical crisis, but the disease that Ms. Nightingale of the Church of the Passion said. The patient's condition at that time was similar to this kind of madness.
"Be careful, he is sick, Ms. Nightingale is still developing medicine."
"Subdue him?"
"Yes, after subduing him, send him to the Church of the Cross, but don't be Bite, this thing has a psychological impact on me. "This is the sequelae of watching Resident Evil.
"I'm not that stupid, so be careful."
He's just an ordinary person, and he's also a lunatic. Although he is extremely powerful due to his madness, he can only be crushed against the power of the soul-shifter. , the police officer directly kicked the assailant man over, and then stepped on him.
Why do you want to reward him?
Seeing the man struggling desperately on the ground, Lynch quickly found a rope from the store and tied the man tightly. Even though he was tied into a rice dumpling, he was still twisting and struggling desperately, his eyes were red and drool was drooling from the corner of his mouth. The teeth were biting the air around him crazily, causing the onlookers around him to scream in shock.
Not to mention ordinary people, Lynch himself is a little guilty. It can't be caused by rabies. Those ghoul relatives of Mordiggian are indeed a bit like dogs.
Ignoring the candlelight dinner, the two commandeered a nearby carriage and immediately sent the madman to the Church of the Passion next to Crown Square.
As soon as they got out of the car with the madman, they heard a scream. The two found that they were not alone, there were two similar people escorted by the police.
The police were very conscientious. Even though their hands were full of blood when they were bitten, they still sent the person over. At least they did not execute him on the spot. However, the reaction of those soliciting donations at the door of the church was thought-provoking. They did not ask any questions. Several stretchers were pulled out and the lunatic was strapped to them with a skillful and heart-wrenching move.
It seems that we have been dealing with similar incidents a lot these days.
"Yeah, I'm in my early twenties."
At some point, the old woman Ms. Nightingale had appeared next to the two of them, gesturing for them to follow them in. The church was quite busy, and there were people wearing clothes from time to time. The man in white robe ran past.
“Because Rhine is closest to the location where the evil god collapsed, the situation here is the most serious. In addition to more than 20 patients, many people were scratched and bitten, and five were even bitten to death on the spot. .”
Step by step, two young girls in white robes ran past carrying a stretcher, and a man with two bloody legs was lying on it, wailing loudly.
“We usually send these bites away after emergency treatment. Only the ones with the most serious bites, like the one just now, are officially admitted. There are still too few professionals in the church, and everyone also We tried our best.”
“What to do with those who are sick?”
"Without you, we should deal with them on the spot according to common sense. They are already hopeless. Living will only increase the pain." As expected of a medical worker, he does not shy away from talking about death. "But with you here, the drug is being developed, and it is going smoothly. , it is estimated that there will still be half a month. Then we will lock up all the patients and wait for the final unified treatment. It is estimated that there will be more than a thousand people in the end. I have also coordinated with the Governor's Office and temporarily borrowed the city government's prison. ”
“When will it be sent to all countries? ”
“Yes, we have coordinated with other churches of the Lord. This time, all the churches will work together and your efforts will not be in vain. Mr. Detective.”
Thinking that one of his decisions might save hundreds of thousands of people from dying, Lynch always had an unreal feeling. In a trance, he turned his eyes, huh?
This lady looks familiar.
“Why are you here?”
Miss Valente, who was busy, wiped her sweat and showed a tired smile to the two of them. Only then did Lin Qi remember that, by the way, this girl was also a member of the Church of Tribulation, and it seemed that she had also been recalled. However, as expected of her, there are probably not many nobles in this era who can put aside their status to treat and bandage civilians, even if they are stained with blood... Oops, that's not right.
Lynch's expression changed. He had just realized that Miss Valente's wrist was wrapped in a bandage, and there was faint blood seeping out of the bandage.
I must have gotten a cut when I went to the kitchen to secretly cook a late-night snack last night. It must not have been a bite. It must not be a bite.
"Well, I did get bitten just now." Seeing Lynch's expression change, Miss Valente smiled, shook her head and said, "I heard the lady said that you are worried about the plague, but don't be nervous, we are the masters of suffering. If Fiona's soul-shifter is really infected, we will know it ourselves. Everything is normal now, I guarantee that it is not infected."
I hope so.
Lin Qi sighed. He actually felt uneasy these days.
The League of Shadows said he had opened the door to destruction and all he could think about was the disease. But this disease can kill hundreds of thousands of people at most. Although the number of people is large, it is far from destruction, and since he has helped develop drugs, it has nothing to do with destruction.
Unless this disease turns into a plague, followed by famine, war and death, thus inducing a catastrophe similar to the one at the end of the First Age, this would be the opposite of destruction, and it is also in line with what Howard said at the end, The League of Shadows' big plan.
He didn’t want to see Miss Valente become the same madman just now, but since Ms. Nightingale made it clear that diseases cannot naturally transform into plagues, Lynch could only hide his worries. In the heart.
However, before he could give him any consolation, there were footsteps behind him, and several unfamiliar faces in black formal clothes hurried over from outside the church.
He walked to Ms. Nightingale with a solemn expression and murmured a few words in a low voice. The old woman's expression also became solemn.
A big shot is visiting.
To clear the place.
