Chapter 1298 1270. Clues merge
Because Maria was wary of Lan En, she did not alert others when she came back.
This is somewhat good news. At least there won’t be too many people coming to get in the way in the next process.
“When did you come here?”
Lan En continued to ask.
"I just arrived not long ago." Maria said softly, "The first thing I saw through the crack of the door was these. And the way you walked towards him with the needle, so I rushed in."
As she spoke, Maria's slightly trembling hands pointed at the patient corpses piled on the ground.
The witcher knew what was going on after just a moment's thought.
She first saw the pile of corpses through the crack in the door. She suddenly realized that she had been deceived and the pain of these patients.
The anger made her lose control, and she rushed directly towards Lan En, who was walking towards the patient with a syringe in his hand.
But basically within half a second after taking action, she woke up.
The corpses of these patients were obviously piled up during long-term experiments, and how many days had Lan Enluggong only appeared?
A tall hunter who can use [Acceleration] and has amazing skills but has never appeared in Yharnam may be suspicious in himself.
But it is unlikely that these piles of patient corpses are directly related to him.
That's why Lan En concluded from her breathing that she didn't actually want to kill anyone, but was just subconsciously venting her anger.
Therefore, the demon hunter and Maria could maintain a relatively tacit understanding of timing and stop each other in time.
“You mean, gray blood disease is man-made?!”
Maria’s voice was colder than ever before. After she heard Lan En’s brief description of the situation to her, she immediately Just reacted.
Her long leather boots stepped on the wooden floor that had been soaked with blood, and she also walked to the experimental table.
Under the dim kerosene lamp, she looked at the broken pills.
"Those are small pills distributed by the Good Gold Cup Church."
Her tone revealed danger, and Lan En glanced down at her sideways.
Without any further explanation, he just picked up a glass stopper on the table and threw it towards the reagent cabinet next to him without turning his head.
There was a crisp sound of glass breaking, a hole was made in a bottle, and then there was a scene of a large pile of white pills that were the same as those on the table, flowing down.
Since ordinary people and even hunters cannot discover the ‘added ingredients’ in these pills, then the clergy naturally do not need to be too careful about concealed storage.
After all, although this medicine was first distributed by the Good Golden Cup Church, the Healing Church also recognized that it had certain detoxification capabilities.
If you have reserves, it’s normal to tell them. You can even put it on a shelf openly for people to see.
“This is...?!”
And Maria stared blankly at the pile of pills left on the reagent cabinet.
If it were before, she would have been able to watch this bottle of small pills with detoxification ability appear in the laboratory of the research hall with a calm mind.
But now, Lan En's laboratory table clearly connected the relationship between gray blood disease and pills.
Maria felt that her throat was dry and she even had to open her mouth slightly to breathe smoothly.
This was simply unimaginable to her.
"This church! I mean the Healing Church." Maria forced herself to calm down, "The Healing Church has always wanted to use [blood therapy] to save everyone. This is impossible."
Mary should be trying to say: This cannot be done by the Healing Church. Perhaps this is a slander from the Good Golden Cup Church?
Maria had despaired of studying the clergy in the hall, but she still had hope in the purpose of the healing church.
But Lan En didn't give her a chance to say those words.
Because a drop of alchemy reagent has been dripped into the test tube, which is smaller than five milliliters of the patient's blood.
——On the blood of patients with advanced gray blood disease who have undergone [blood therapy]!
With a ‘pop’ sound, the glass test tube in Lan En’s hand exploded!
The witcher was not frightened this time, he simply took a step back.
Then there was a sticky sound, causing the test tube to explode and hit the wooden floor, twisting and flopping like a live fish that had just landed.
Maria and Lan En both watched this scene speechlessly.
Because from the little test tube just now, less than five milliliters of blood was dripped with Lan En's alchemy reagent.
A line suddenly popped out from it. It's as thick as an adult's arm and looks like a marine mollusk!
In an instant, a complex smell hit his nostrils.
Mixed with the stench of lycanthropic patients and the fishy smell of seafood.
The hidden flavor was completely exposed at this time!
“What the hell is this?!”
Maria said with difficulty.
But Lan En didn't answer her, he just looked at her calmly.
The answer is actually very clear.
Compared with the blood of ordinary gray blood patients, the only difference is that it has undergone [blood therapy] at the research center!
“Is that really ‘treatment’, Maria?” The thing that popped out of Shao Shao’s blood was still flopping on the wooden floor, its sticky limbs flapping.
It just doesn't seem to adapt to the environment here. This thing, which is the size of an adult's arm, is becoming weaker and weaker.
While Lan En was talking, he walked over. His boots with sharp edges due to the dragon scale armor on the outside stepped on the mollusk with a 'squeak' sound, making a sound like a squeezing ball. sound.
The tentacles of the mollusk that had been dancing suddenly became stiff and then became limp.
“In the process of exploring biology and medicine, disease is actually not only a disaster, but also a resource.”
“Rare and rare diseases are valuable. Because maybe a Diseases that have never been discovered can bring about deeper secrets of life that have never been known.”
Lan En's feet were crushed.
“Disease is not just a disease, nor is it just an object that needs to be cured, it is also a means of exploring mysteries.”
“Some knowledge can only be obtained by contact with cases.”
As he spoke, Lan En raised his eyes and looked at Maria who was stunned.
“Who do you think those clergy are?”
Maria was silent, just pressing her three-cornered hat and bowing her head.
She is not as convinced of the Healing Church as most people. But on the other hand, her trust in the Healing Church actually comes from her teacher's trust in the Church.
With the identity and qualifications of [The First Hunter], it is impossible for anything in the church to be hidden from him without leaving any trace.
But if you say that, doesn’t it mean that the teacher is deceiving me? !
No, how could it be.
Maria shook her head subconsciously.
"There have been too many unnecessary conversations." The Blood Noble resisted allowing herself to continue thinking, and she changed the topic, "I don't know who you are, Lan En. But I I think we can save the patients here first!"
"Stop those damn experiments! Then we can investigate whether the gray blood disease is man-made or something else!"
Lan En! He nodded in agreement, but his agreement was limited to the first half of the sentence: "Yes, we do need to do something. I feel like I am about to grasp the answer to the mystery."
"The answer?" Maria looked up , the brow under the three-cornered hat frowned slightly, "What on earth are you talking about?"
This was a very explicit expression of emotion for her.
"I'm consulting you, Ms. Maria." Lan En used his toes to fiddle with the motionless soft-bodied creature on the floor. "Is there a saltwater lake or something near Yanan? Or the entrance sea? How to get the goods?”
What was found in the blood of gray blood patients is very characteristic of the ocean.
Taste and appearance. Lan En suspected that this should be some kind of marine parasite with supernatural powers.
"Small fishing village." Maria also frowned. She still didn't understand what Lan En meant, but she still gave the answer. “Yanan is close to the sea, and the small fishing village is the source of Yanan’s catch.”
Halfway through, Maria got stuck.
Lan En obviously noticed this jam.
"Little fishing village? What happened to that little fishing village?"
"That makes sense!" Maria suddenly calmed down, "Church. No! My teacher said to me , the small fishing village is the source of gray blood disease. As long as the hunters hunt and kill a special monster there, the plague will disappear!"
"Wait!" This time, it's Lan En's turn! Wei Wei glared, "You mean 'hunters' or 'hunting'?"
"You organized so many old hunters just to go to that small fishing village?!"
"Where is the goal of the big hunt?!"
Lan En became more serious than ever before. This was different from him There was actually not much difference between the two expressions of the previous calmness, but Maria still noticed it.
The witcher looked at the samples he had verified on the experimental table, those disgusting parasites.
Then he turned around vigorously and asked Maria: "You said you turned around and came back, that means you are still going to the small fishing village, right?"
"Let's go!"
Maria didn't know why Lan En suddenly became serious, but the witcher knew it.
——The clues merged!
In Yharnam's deepest and most dangerous nightmare, Simon is responsible for tracking down the secrets of the Great Hunt.
Lan En chose the clue of the plague of gray blood disease.
And now, the intersection of the two lines has appeared! This often means that the key to truth and change has arrived!
Simon has died countless times in this nightmare, but now, this is definitely the closest they have ever been to the secret of the nightmare!
The key to this nightmare may be in that small fishing village!
Maria did not refuse.
Whether it was her duty as a hunter or her inner urge to test a certain idea, she would definitely go back to the small fishing village.
Her teacher would not deceive her, Maria believed so firmly.
By being wary of Lan En, she witnessed so much information in a very short period of time, her spirit was shocked, and her kindness was teased
She firmly believed that after arriving in the small fishing village, everything would be revealed. .
