Chapter 406 Doctor Swain
The two sides chatted until midnight again.
Dr. Swain revealed a lot about her.
The crazy old man was right, she was a ghoul, but a half-blood.
Her mother is an ordinary human peasant woman. She gave birth to Dr. Swain and her younger brother fifty years ago with her father Swain Sr. The ghoul has a lifespan of two hundred years, so her human form He only looks about thirty years old.
She has indeed seen the Necronomicon. After reading only five pages, she learned more than a dozen weird secret techniques. As for why she is not crazy, it is probably because the endurance of mysterious creatures is much higher than that of humans. , but even so, she didn't dare to continue reading.
But she didn't mind telling Lynch and the others her whereabouts, and she didn't plan to touch it again anyway.
As for her return to her hometown after her journey, it was not to take care of her father. In fact, her father was one hundred and thirty years old this year and had just entered old age, and was far from being in need of care.
The main reason is that her brother died two years ago. It was a real accident, there was no doubt about it, and there was no need for her to do anything. But the problem is that old Sven is the priest of the tribe, and her brother is the candidate for the next priest. Now that the next priest is dead, she can only come back to take on this responsibility.
The dead brother had devoted many years of efforts to Old Swain, which was a big blow to Old Swain. His temper became more and more weird. He rarely left the farm and had a bad attitude towards Dr. Swain, which made Dr. Swain very sad. , usually lives in the city, and occasionally returns to the farm outside the city to see the old ghoul, and then comes back after being scolded a few times.
It turns out that ghouls also have family discord and conflicts between father and daughter. The four of them heard this with great interest. If they hadn't thought that the other party might not be able to defeat her after she transformed, Lin Qi would have laughed out loud on the spot.
As for the four of them, Lin Qi did not dare to tell the truth. After all, the truth was too unbelievable. I am afraid that only people like old madmen who play with time can accept it calmly.
But the relationship between the two parties has become much closer now, and Lynch can't bear to deceive her completely. He told her that besides coming to talk to her about the Necronomicon, he also wanted to grow the Human Face Fruit. It is said that the ones grown here are better than those on the Midway Continent.
As a result, Dr. Swain’s answer made all four of them turn blue.
She said that was the case. She also wondered why there were several human-faced fruit plants near her home. She thought they were behind the scenes and wanted to cause trouble. She also planned to search the whole city tomorrow and eradicate all the ones they found. Woolen cloth.
Only then did Lin Qi realize that he had underestimated the world of memories in Strange Objects. The people here were not like NPCs, who were indifferent no matter what they did. Fortunately, he had asked, otherwise this trip would have been in vain. .
However, after chatting frankly with each other that night, the distance between the two parties became closer, and the four of them became much closer to the female doctor.
As for the affairs of Swain Farm and Old Swain, Lynch didn’t care. They had a two-hundred-meter activity limit, and it was impossible to contact Swain Farm or meet Old Swain in advance. Swain, everything was over by the time he came on the stage. To the four of them, it was just a little better than the dead little Swain in the background
However, judging from the birth of the strange object, the old ghoul is actually full of guilt for his daughter. Unfortunately, fate never gives people a chance to regret.
As for what happened today, Lynch guessed correctly. One of the two ghouls they met outside the east gate in the evening was Dr. Swain, and the other was a representative of the ghoul tribe.
There are four to five hundred people in this tribe. They live in a nearby underground cave. They never actively attack humans. At most, they help the residents of several nearby cities to greet the corpses of their ancestors.
Therefore, the two sides have been living in peace and harmony. However, whether it is a coincidence or not, the ghouls that emerged have been frequently seen by humans recently, which has caused a series of incidents behind the scenes.
As for the purpose of today's meeting between the two parties, just as Lynch guessed, after Dr. Swain understood the characteristics of the plague, he was completely unsure that he could find a solution before the situation got out of control. Once the situation got out of control and the plague spread, corpses would be eaten. The ghost tribe will also suffer disaster.
So she prepared for the worst, told her tribe all about the situation in the city, and asked them to prepare to purify the entire city.
At the same time, he also asked the tribe to help send a letter to the capital. This time, he was not asking for help, but as a ghoul, informing him of everything that was about to happen here, so that the troops in the capital could also be prepared.
The more the four of them listened, the more frightened they became.
She didn’t say what preparations the troops were making, but she could imagine it.
Everything can be self-consistent. No wonder the ghoul blocked the city for three days before starting to massacre the city. I am afraid that it was to give Dr. Swain time to solve the problem. However, she failed in the end, and the situation reached the most tragic ending. Moreover, the reinforcements arrived just after the ghouls left the scene. Neither side waved a claw or a sword. The so-called reinforcements probably came with a second clearing mission. Even if the ghouls were not clean enough, they Will also make up for it in time.
As for the final outcome of Novlan, it has long been lost in history, but the four people estimate that the most likely thing is that it was burned to the ground, as if it had never happened.
But this time may be different. This time because of the two messengers, Dr. Swain realized the danger two days in advance, and used Terry Knight to control the initial spread of the plague.
And with four more friends willing to help her, she is no longer alone.
Even the female doctor herself kept talking enthusiastically, which helped Lynch to make up for a lesson that Ms. Nightingale did not teach in detail.
Friends who often suffer from plague will definitely be familiar with the three elements of occult plague.
Disease, replication, spread.
The core element is disease, which is why Dr. Swain said the ghoul involved in this matter must be found.
To find a cure, the ghoul must be found.
Whether he is dead or alive, it doesn't matter whether there is a body or not. It doesn't even need to have substantial contact with the other party. As long as you know the identity of the other party, you can conceptually obtain targeted information. Of course, it would be better to have substantive contact, so that the concept will be clearer.
Compared with the plague in the real world of the Fifth Age, there is no need to look for this core element.
It wasn't the Ghoul King Mordiggian, and Lynch originally thought it was it, but in fact when he asked Ms. Nightingale, the old lady smiled and took out a mirror and held it up to him.
The man inside looks very familiar.
Yes, the core element is not Mordiggian, but Lynch himself, which is exactly why the four ventured in to plant.
However, the core elements are only the prerequisite for the cure. The real sufficient conditions must also be found for the means of replication and dissemination before a targeted solution can be found.
As for the plague in the strange object this time, these two conditions were induced by occult drugs. Similar drugs are not the only ones. The specific information about the drugs used is only in the hands of the mastermind behind the scenes. .
So finding the main messenger is not the key. The key is to find the information he has hidden. However, it is not easy for the four Lynches to provide the identity of a suspect. They cannot help with the rest. Got busy with something.
At least in theory.
Dr. Swain also understood, so after a night of discussion, it was determined that she would mainly do the rest. Starting from tomorrow, she will find a way to test the City Lord's position. If the City Lord is really behind the scenes, she will try to find out the method of spreading and copying from him.
As for the core of the vegetarian ghoul, there is no good way yet, but what is certain is that it must still be in the city, and both parties will work together to get him out.
As for Knight Terry's position, it is not yet certain, but he has his mission. He will be responsible for patrolling the city constantly and try to nip all abnormalities in the bud.
Everyone performs their duties and races against the mastermind and the plague.
Whether the memories of the strange objects can be interrupted in time and everyone can escape alive depends on the development of the third day.
