Chapter 432 Excuse me
The city lord is not here, and there are only two painters in the hall, who are doing the final touches on a portrait.
There are two men and three women in the painting. The middle-aged man is sitting in the front, with a half-year-old child standing next to him, and the three women are standing behind him.
He was a middle-aged man who looked very ordinary. The other four people all looked similar to him. All five of them had serious expressions and no smile on their faces.
If nothing unexpected happens, these are the city lord and his three daughters.
The painter revealed that the city lord was there not long ago.
They have been working overtime at the request of the city lord these days, just to drive out this portrait. The city lord seems to attach great importance to this portrait. No matter what happens these days, he will stay here with his three daughters for at least eight hours. The artist drew it, and as for the boy, it was copied from a portrait.
The city lord provided enough painting resources, and the only requirement is that they complete the painting before tomorrow. The two painters worked hard and finally completed the painting at noon today. All that's left is some post-processing and the finished product can be delivered tonight.
The city lord was overjoyed and gave them a large bounty on the spot.
Oh ho, it’s over.
The portrait is ready, and it seems that he is prepared for the worst.
But why, did he do anything to resurrect his son?
According to the painter, only the city lord came today, but it was the final stage, and it didn’t matter whether others came or not. The city lord let them paint here all morning. It could be seen that the city lord was still in a good mood. He even joked with them a few times, as if he got what he wanted.
Until ten minutes ago, housekeeper Rocky suddenly came, which surprised the city lord.
But Mr. Lodge seemed uncomfortable and said nothing. He just gave the city lord a letter. After reading it, the city lord hurriedly left without knowing his whereabouts.
And Mr. Lodge stared at them handling the oil paintings, which made the painters' hair stand on end. He ignored them when they talked to him, and left after staring for a while.
Lin Qi looked at the two painters with a strange look for a while, and finally just patted them on the shoulders. How they could survive being alone in a room with an infected person was enough for these two people. This ancient memory is over.
In fact, it is not surprising that the housekeeper became an infected person. This is why Dr. Swain plans to develop the drug first and then find the body. If you come into contact with the corpse and don't take the medicine, you will soon be transformed into an infected person. If Rocky has been following his young master Jack since last night, he must have been infected.
What's really strange is that Rocky is under control after his infection.
The presence of several infected people who could escape had already made Lynch wary, and the appearance of Rocky further confirmed his worries.
It can suppress the instinct to eat people, and it can also send messages. This is a typical controlled performance.
Those previous experiments showed no signs of being controlled at all. The first one to show signs of being controlled was young Master Jack. After him, the infected people all showed controlled characteristics.
Maybe Old Swain has just found a way to control infected people, but Lynch is more likely to think that Jack gave Old Swain the ability to control infected people.
Maybe Jack is the key to controlling the infected, and old Swain only controls the infected by controlling Jack.
The idea in Lynch's mind slowly took shape. This was probably the reason why Old Swain caused all this trouble. He wanted to create an army of infected people who would obey orders.
The four of them looked at each other, suddenly feeling very dark and a little happy.
Fortunately, Dr. Swain died together with the entire city in the end. Otherwise, once the number of infected people increases, the cold weapon era will be a dead end. I am afraid that the history of the world will end in the third era. .
Terry didn't think too much and asked anxiously: "You don't know where Lord Jackson has gone?"
"I'm sorry, Lord Knight." The painter said timidly, "The Lord of the City never said that "
Terry sighed heavily and was about to say something else, but he saw Lynch shake his head and then pulled him out of the castle hall.
"It's no use asking them. Let's go to the basement. Let's first check out the room where Master Jack's relics are kept." Terry thought it right, and immediately led the four of them around the castle for a long time, and finally got into a dark staircase.
I met several servants on the road, and they all said they had not seen the city lord, but they saw Mr. Lodge passing by not long ago. They were stunned, but they still followed.
It was cold and damp, and the walls made of huge stones were covered with dirty water droplets. But it's still bright, at least I can see the environment clearly.
There were no servants in the basement, only a few maze-like winding corridors. Terry just looked around, then chose one and walked down.
"I asked Rocky last night, and he told me the specific location of the room." Terry said with a sad expression, "He didn't understand why Mr. Jackson arranged such a room at the time."< br>
With that said, the group of people had stopped in front of a door.
A very heavy and gorgeous wooden door was closed tightly. Terry pulled the door handle and suddenly stopped.
The door is unlocked.
"Wait a minute."
Lynch stopped the armed knight who was hesitating to enter. He turned his hand back and took the torch of light handed over by Miss Diana. The other hand had already transformed into a cane. Became a serrated sword.
Beside him, Officer Natalie drew her sword at the same time without any reminder. The two of them stood in front of the countess and Judy, one on the left and the other on the right.
"Okay, let's go."
"Don't rush in when you open the door." The police officer reminded, "Close it immediately and open it again."
After all, it's a high-level city, even in the dark ages. Without enough awareness of the crisis, Knight Terry tensed up, took a deep breath, and carefully opened the door as instructed.
However, the room was not dark. Instead, it was brightly lit. Through the bright candlelight, the group saw a strange scene.
Behind the door was arranged like a restaurant, with a long table, wooden chairs, and the table was filled with sumptuous food.
A group of people were dining around the dining table. It didn't look like they were in a dark basement at all, but rather like they were in a normal restaurant.
The group of people ranged from big to small, male and female, sitting and standing.
The butler, whom he had just met, was hovering stiffly by the table holding an empty tray, while the rest of the people were sitting at the table.
Lin Qi recognized three of the adult women at a glance as the three daughters of the city lord in the portrait, and the other two men and three children must be the sons-in-law and grandsons of the city lord mentioned by Terry. .
Why are they here, sharing a room with an infected person?
As soon as the doubts arose, these people had already taken action.
Seemingly disturbed by the sound of the door opening, a group of people slowly turned around and happened to be face to face with a group of five people outside the door.
His eyes were blood red, his expression was ferocious, and from the corners of his mouth, hungry saliva dripped uncontrollably.
Looking at each other, the air seemed to suddenly freeze.
The next moment, Lynch suddenly took a step forward and quickly closed the door, blocking the sight of the infected people.
Sorry, I went to the wrong place and bothered you.
