Chapter 405 White Lie
In a sense, he is not a bad person.
Lynch was still chewing on this sentence over and over again until he returned to Dr. Swain’s house.
Meaningful.
In a certain sense, if you are not a bad person, does that mean that from another perspective, you are a bad person?
The four of them tasted the journey and analyzed almost all possibilities, but no one dared to judge the doctor’s thoughts, let alone what attitude to use to face the doctor, until they saw the door of Dr. Swain’s house. Lin Qicai made a decision.
It seemed that Dr. Swain had returned. The lights were turned on in the study on the second floor. The dancing light of the oil lamp projected Dr. Swain's silhouette in front of the window, hazy and looking particularly mysterious.
I walked straight into the door, and the sound of clanging alerted Dr. Swain in the study. Soon, the female doctor took the initiative to go downstairs.
At this time, the female doctor had already changed into fluffy pajamas and wore a soft hat on her head. The ball of fluff on the top of the hat was tilted to one side, swaying as she went downstairs. She doesn't look like a woman in her thirties at all.
Not even like a ghoul.
"You are back. Did you go for a drink? There is only a pub in Novland to kill time." The female doctor looked a little tired. At this time, the four of them could not see the reason for beating the child yesterday. Yingzi said with a smile, "If you want to kill time when I'm not at home in the future, you can sit in my study. Although my collection of books is not large, it is enough to kill time."
Stop making trouble, if a Book of the Dead is found, we can stay here forever.
Although he complained in his heart, Lynch did not show it. He just asked casually: "How is the progress of the research? Have you found anything?"
"Yes."
"Oh. ...Huh? So soon?" Lin Qi became interested, "What did you find?"
"That is to use the power of the Ghoul King Mordiggian as a template, and then use some mysterious potions to give the disease the properties of replication and spread, turning the disease into a plague. But thankfully, the potion The effect is very average, so although the infection effect is very strong, with almost 100% transmission, the method is relatively simple and must leave a wound. If it can be spread by breathing or even conceptually, that would be terrible, maybe not within a few years. , the whole world will be infected.”
Well, that’s the xx crisis.
Lin Qi actually admired the female doctor at this time. With her superficial knowledge of occult science from the Third Age, she had already analyzed so much information in just one afternoon, and with the perspective of the Fifth Age Judging, her analysis is basically correct, and she is worthy of being a scientific and technological talent that is being competed for by big cities.
However, Lynch also found that when he said this, Dr. Swain looked a little unnatural, as if he was worried about something. Lynch hesitated for a moment and simply asked directly: "Isn't this a very good progress, but why are you Are you still so worried?"
Dr. Swain started to smile, but when he saw Lynch's serious gaze, he sighed and said, "We talked about it yesterday. The King of Ghouls is a lot of ghouls. The belief in ghosts, but almost no one among humans worships him.”
“So?”
"So this incident must have involved ghouls. It is impossible to do it with human strength alone."
"Isn't that normal? There are so many ghouls coming and going outside. "We're going." Lin Qi said, pretending not to know, "They can't come here to have a feast, there might be some people inside who are collaborating with humans to cause trouble."
"They..." Dr. Swain hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "Maybe. The key is that it is not good for the ghouls. If they are bitten, they may turn into crazy ghouls who have lost their minds, so I can't think of anything." Why do they cooperate with humans to do this? ”
Lin Qi suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind and realized something: "So, they knew that a plague broke out here that would affect even them, so they planned to come in and clear the place to ensure their own safety?
" Um? "Dr. Swain was a little stunned and stared at Lynch unable to answer for a while.
"Oh, it's nothing. It's just that when we were walking out of the city in the afternoon, we accidentally ran into two ghouls meeting. I accidentally Just thought of it. ”
Lynch explained casually as if nothing had happened, but then the conversation changed::
“Didn’t you also see us at that time?”
In an instant, Dr. Swain’s family The living room fell into a dead silence, and the air seemed to be frozen. No one spoke. The two ladies lowered their heads and held their swords and folding fans tightly. The other one also regained consciousness. But Lynch held down the hands of the two ladies, one on the left and the other on the right, and still said unhurriedly:
"We have all been in contact with some ghouls before, so we know them well, and I recognized you accidentally." Lynch's lie came casually, "I asked you once before, Now I ask you again, Doctor Swain, do you really want to solve this incident? If you have other ideas, we can do it at any time without interfering in your affairs."
Dr. Swain is silent. After a long pause, he asked: "Who are you?"
Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Qi's mind, and finally a set of words had been formed:
"Actually, we have nothing to do with what's going on here. We're here for another thing, whether it's humans or ghouls. , so you can trust us instead”
“Or sell food?”
"The Necronomicon."
Dr. Swain was stunned on the spot with his mouth wide open, but his expression was already filled with surprise.
“So you see, we just want to help you in exchange for the whereabouts of the Necronomicon. Our position is you. As for what will happen here, we don’t care. It depends entirely on your position. So from the beginning We asked the question at the beginning, and we followed your answer exactly. We just discovered your identity and confirmed it just to be on the safe side, with no other intention.”
It was a completely self-consistent statement, half true and half false, but much more reasonable than the truth. Doctor Swain could tell by looking at his expression that he basically believed it. She sighed faintly and whispered:
"I really want to solve it. On the one hand, this is my hometown and holds my memories. I don't want it to be destroyed. On the other hand... it was just now There must be other ghouls involved in this matter, and they are probably members of our tribe, so I think it is my duty to completely resolve the crisis here, otherwise such a dangerous plague will not only threaten the tribe, but also the tribe. Once it spreads, it is likely to be devastating."
"How thorough is a complete solution?"
Dr. Swain pursed his lips and said nothing.
Lynch totally gets it.
Historically, she probably planned this way, so when she discovered that the plague in the city was completely out of control, she directly called the ghoul tribe and completely cleaned the entire city, just like she had been cleansed in her previous life. The same as Stratholme.
And that includes herself.
No wonder the crazy old man made that comment. From a certain perspective, she is not a bad person.
"So, either stop the culprit behind the scenes from continuing to cause trouble, or you try to find the antidote, or... the end is coming, everyone will die!"
Hearing Lynch imitating the tone of the crazy old man, Dr. Swain was worried, but the corners of his mouth still curled up:
"Actually, it was when I heard him shouting there that I realized something was wrong, so I suggested The city lord went to ask for help, but I didn't expect that my worries would come true. Now that everyone has been honest with each other, I will tell you directly. I can agree to your request. You sincerely help me. I will tell you what I know afterwards. Everything about the Necronomicon is told to you."
"This is what I expected."
"Huh, that's good. In fact, I have been busy all afternoon today, just researching treatment drugs."
"Is there any help?" Lynch asked. The high similarity reminded him of what he was doing. , instinctively care about drugs.
“It’s hard to say now. We should know the results tomorrow, and maybe we can find a treatment. But there is too little information right now, so I’m not sure. If you want to be sure, you must first know who is the leader and who is the leader. The power of the Ghoul King is introduced, which is the key ghoul. "
"You should have told me earlier." Lin Qi sighed, "City Lord."
"Huh?"
"I said, the leader is probably the City Lord, we just launched it in the afternoon Information. How about it? With the speed of our progress, it’s not a bad idea to cooperate with us.”
Dr. Swain was stunned.
