Chapter 419 Fire
According to Dr. Swain's judgment, as long as the corpse is found and destroyed, the chain of transmission of the plague can be interrupted and the contagiousness of the infected person can be destroyed.
The spread of one of the three elements has been destroyed. Although the replication factor in the grain still exists, after eating it, the disease will replicate and become infected, but the injury can no longer allow the plague to spread, which is equivalent to abolishing the plague. The strongest part.
If treatment drugs are prepared again, this plague will no longer be lethal.
At this time, the four people finally understood that this was probably the real need to destroy the ceremony under the conditions of suppression.
But this is not easy.
The person suspected of hiding the body is the city lord, the person who holds the highest power in the city.
Although Knight Terry is the person in charge of city defense, in such a small city, the city lord is not completely aloof and isolated from the people. Here, you may encounter the city lord and his people to poison the wheat when you go out for a drink at night. We can even chat with each other, so we are very close to all the citizens. It would be difficult for Knight Terry alone to incite the soldiers to force the city lord to make concessions, unless he could incite the emotions of all citizens, which was referred to as a citizen riot.
Anyone who often riots knows that this is a very troublesome matter. At least there must be a reason that can be believed by the people as an excuse. But even Lynch himself couldn't be sure about this, and he couldn't tell whether the city lord was actively committing evil or being deceived. It was difficult to convince Terry and Swain, let alone accuse the city lord.
After struggling for a while, Terry Knight took the initiative to stand up.
As the guardian of the city and the loyal knight of the city lord, he feels that he has an obligation to find out the truth, find the real evildoer, and prevent the city lord from making a big mistake.
He decided to take advantage of the opportunity to go to the city lord's mansion to report to the city lord every day to explore the situation. With this legitimate reason as a cover, he believed that as long as his true purpose was not exposed and the real culprit behind the scenes was not alerted, There won't be any danger.
hehe.
Lin Qi seemed to see the old general on the stage, and the flag behind him could no longer be placed.
But Lynch still let him go. Someone really needed to take the risk, and he couldn't stop him. However, he still held the knight and warned him.
Never eat or drink water, never mention the corpse, and don't be too smart.
The most important thing is to be honest with the city lord. Except for the fact that Lynch and the other four analyzed that there is something wrong with the body, don’t hide anything and show loyalty as much as possible, so as not to arouse the city lord’s suspicion.
Watching Terry Knight leave with a solemn expression, Lynch sighed softly. He had already said what needed to be reminded, and the rest depended on his fate.
"They are all gone." Lynch turned around and stared at Dr. Swain and said, "So we won't go around in circles. Do you already know who the ghoul is?"
"Don't know yet, but As you may think, this ritual is recorded in the Book of the Dead, and I do know about it." Dr. Swain bit his lip with a gloomy expression. "After I came back, I mentioned it to several priests in the tribe, maybe. Which one of them leaked it?"
Officer Natalie said without any politeness. "You are lying."
"Yes, I'm just lying." Dr. Swain was equally rude, "This is our internal matter. You asked too many questions."
Natalie wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Lin Qi pulled her hand and immediately closed her mouth. Lynch squeezed the police officer's rough hand to calm her down, and then said sincerely: "We don't have to ask, but we hope our friends won't do anything stupid, let alone get hurt."
"Don't worry, even if I want to do something, I will prepare the medicine first and then give you what you want."
Lynch didn't speak, just stared at the ghoul with calm eyes.
"You're so busy. I've already told you that I won't mislead you. Why are you still staring at me?" The irritable female doctor turned her head angrily and muttered for a while before she softened, angrily. Said, "Okay, okay, I will tell you before I do anything. I won't kill myself silently, okay. Really, aren't you also hiding secrets? How dare you Say you don’t know where the body is hidden?”
Lin Qi sighed with a wry smile.
He did think about the location of the body, but he had selfish motives.
Once the dangerous corpse is found, from the standpoint of Dr. Swain and Terry, they will inevitably demand that it be destroyed on the spot to cut off the spread of the plague from the source, and the sooner the better, one minute later More people may die, and there may be irreparable consequences. But after he discussed it with the three ladies, no one was sure whether destroying the corpse was a sufficient condition to suppress the out-of-control strange objects. If it was, then after destroying the corpse, the four of them would leave this memory within a few minutes and plant the Human Face Fruit. The mission will also fail, which is an act of putting the cart before the horse and putting the cart before the horse.
Therefore, the four of them will have to wait at least until tomorrow when the first batch of human face fruits are harvested before they can think of ways to find the body. Before that, they can only pray that the people in this memory will be blessed.
"The most likely possibility is the basement of the City Lord's Mansion." Facing Dr. Swain's gaze, Lynch made no secret, "Let's listen to what Butler Rocky mentioned. The City Lord will not do it without reason. I suddenly wanted to move my son's belongings into a specific room. I judged that his motivation for doing this was to welcome his young son who was about to come home and help him decorate his new room. The problem was that I didn't dare to tell Terry Knight this information, just in case he did. If I sneaked into the basement to check in a fit of rage, I would actually harm him. I plan to at least wait until the medicine is prepared before taking action. "
"That's right." Showing a satisfied expression, "We must wait for the medicine to be prepared before making a decision."
Miss Diana immediately understood: "That corpse is dangerous?"
"Of course it is dangerous. It can affect corpses in hundreds of miles of farmland. It is very polluting. If you are not careful, it will cause widespread infection. Especially for those of us who are in direct contact, our lives will be in danger if we are not careful. Let’s wait. Let me prepare the medicine first tonight.”
Yes, as long as the medicine is prepared. , everything will be fine.
In theory, this is true.
Dr. Swain had to stay up late to work tonight, and Lynch and the others were worried about any emergencies, so they simply asked the soldiers to pack up a barracks, and the four of them moved in together and started living together for the first night. Life.
The facts of what was done during this period were so outrageous that Lynch was embarrassed to tell others, not even those who charged a fee.
Because the four of them were just reading, which was a waste of time.
To be precise, the four of them borrowed some of Dr. Swain's books. Judy was responsible for reading them, and the other three were responsible for carrying them.
Doctor Swain has mastered many profound secrets. After the four of them take them back, they may be able to gain something good.
But copying it is definitely not possible. If you copy it out, it will be a mysterious document. It will be too troublesome for the transcriber. Only four people can memorize it as much as possible. How much they can bring back depends on everyone's memory.
But here are two scumbags. A second-generation official...Lin Qi was beginning to despair.
The time for studying often flies by, especially when there are only the last few days left. The sky is getting later and later, the red moon has already moved to the west, and the silver moon is moving towards the center of the sky.
It's almost midnight.
Dr. Swain's place was fine. Except for being interrupted several times by Lynch who was visiting, and finally kicked him out very irritably.
Knight Terry has not come back yet, and it seems that he will stay at the city lord's mansion, but he doesn't know whether he will stay for one night or permanently. Even if the four of them are uneasy, they can't do anything to help him. They can only hope that everything is safe for him.
There were not many people left in the military camp. Most of the soldiers were sent out to patrol the city, and the fortress was unusually quiet.
The entire Norland was shrouded in silence. Under the embrace of the goddess of the night, the city seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
Quiet and peaceful, calm.
Everything was so calm.
Until the night sky in the south suddenly lit up with a light.
Red fire.
There was a fire in the direction of the city centre.
