Chapter 1299 1271. Injection
"I have a carriage outside." Maria looked at Lan En up and down and nodded simply. "We can take a carriage to the small fishing village."
The demon hunter turned around and walked out the door.
Maria followed closely, but before finally pushing the door open and leaving, she looked back with a complicated expression at the patients in the laboratory who were still tied to the steel beds and almost motionless. .
“Hu~”
She took a deep breath, then seemed to have some determination, slammed the door and left.
After leaving the laboratory, the two people walked towards the door downstairs without stopping or concealing anything.
Time is tight now, and they all feel there is no need to be secretive.
So in the research hall, many clergymen coming and going looked at them in shock.
It was already time for Maria to leave, wasn’t it?
The clergy all watched with their own eyes the female hunter got into the car and left this morning, but now
seemed to have remembered something. Many of them were holding information, books, and notebooks, and their steps were brisk as if they were expecting. The priests who were talking about something stiffened up after seeing Maria's figure.
Although their faces have always been expressionless, the emotional fluctuations that have been exposed in their body movements are still too obvious.
It was so obvious that Lan En, who was walking in front, felt the disharmony almost immediately.
There is something wrong with these clergy today.
"Adeline." Suddenly, Lan En, who was walking in front, stopped and asked Maria thoughtfully. "Did you see where Adeline was when you came back secretly?"
"What? No, I didn't."
Maria, who was already upset, responded subconsciously With.
But just halfway through speaking, she immediately realized something was wrong.
She turned back secretly, thinking to be wary of Lan En. It was reasonable for Adeline not to see her.
But Adeline runs around the research hall every day and is eager to help. She has been like this since Adeline came to the research hall. How could she not see Adeline when she came back?
Maria felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave for a moment.
The hairs all over my body are exploding!
She looked around the entire research hall blankly.
Before coming back today, although this research hall was gloomy, it was not much different from the overall style of Yanan.
Although there was a strange smell of medicine and the cries and screams of the patients, Maria always felt that this was an unavoidable painful process when treating diseases.
As long as you get through it, there is hope, which is better than those patients who can only watch the disease progress step by step after getting gray blood disease and wait to die.
For patients with this disease, they should be lucky to feel pain sometimes.
But what now?
The whines and cries of the patients were attenuated by the well-insulated walls and doors, turning into faint whines that echoed in the empty research hall.
Maria looked at the entire research hall now and felt a chill all over her body.
What have I done? !
How many of these patients persisted in such great pain because of her encouragement and persuasion?
Compared with these pains, death seems like relief.
If there is a possibility of curing the disease, then of course everything is worth it, but now.
When I say to them ‘live on’, am I cursing them instead? !
The huntress, who has always been known for her stability and precision, seemed to be dizzy at this time, raising her hand to press her forehead under her tricorn hat.
Compared with the delicate porcelain white before, his face was more pale like a corpse.
But then, a big hand stretched out from in front of her and pressed down the palm that was holding her forehead.
While pressing Maria's hand, Lan En walked directly past her and walked to a clergyman who was standing blankly.
Under the dim light of the kerosene lamp, Lan En's tall body cast a heavy shadow, covering the entire person opposite.
"Adeline, the Blood Saint who was busy here before." Lan En's voice was low and gentle. "Where is she now?"
The gentle voice made people feel trembling inexplicably.
".No." The cleric who faced Lan En said in a stern tone, but still said with a sullen face, "Hunter, you, you just have to do your job well. Don't be careless about research. Intervene."
He was obviously hoping to use the so-called 'rules' in the study hall to get Lan En to stop meddling in his own business.
But now that the most critical information about this nightmare has been determined, why does Lan En still care about the little 'rules' of this research hall?
"You just said, 'research'?"
Lan En did not answer the clergyman in front of him, but tilted his head and asked softly.
I don’t know why, but seeing Lan En tilting his head slightly, the cleric felt more and more unhappy.
He opened his mouth to say something.
But it's no longer necessary.
“Bang!”
From under the wide cloak, a huge black shadow flew out and hit the opponent’s head sideways!
Lan En’s clenched fist was no bigger than a human head.
The dragon scales on the outside of the gauntlet shattered the cheekbones on the side of his face, and his eyeballs were squeezed out of their sockets. Then, the sharp-edged external dragon scales tore off almost half of his face. Immediately, the cleric who was standing in front of Lan En moved his feet more than two meters away from the ground, and finally fell down on the wet stone tile floor.
The clergy who were watching here immediately retreated far away, and Lan En did not pay much attention to them.
It’s just that the vertical pupils in his eyes are shrinking, and the demon hunter’s senses have been opened.
Even if someone walked on the damp masonry floor of the research hall, no traces would be left.
But those details that are invisible to ordinary people are invisible to the demon hunter's super-reverse senses.
He glanced at the ground twice and immediately recognized Adeline's footsteps, which were lighter than those of others in the research hall.
He followed directly along the footprints.
And Maria followed him, passing by the clergyman who had half of his facial bones broken, and only his arms were left unconsciously pulling on the wet ground.
"Pfft~"
The tip of the long knife [Falling Leaf] penetrated the priest's back heart, and turned ninety degrees amidst the stirring of flesh and blood before it was sharp. Pull it out.
This move scared the clergy to the point where they immediately dispersed and ran away in different directions.
The descendants of Sumeru who were guarding the stairs upstairs were still like rigid puppets. They just looked down and ignored them.
——
Adeline was being tied to a chair by white-robed clergymen, which made her feel like she was about to be tortured.
But she knew that this was impossible.
"You don't have to tie me up so tightly." Adeline said to the white-robed clergyman who was tightening the leather restraint belt, twisting her body a little uncomfortable.
"I will cooperate with your experiment, and I can endure the pain."
"Really?" The white-robed cleric continued the work at hand expressionlessly, "This It’s hard to say, Adeline. This experiment will be very painful.”
“But in order to help those with gray blood,” Adeline swallowed to relieve her tension, but she still cheered up. He gained confidence, "I can definitely get through it!"
"Get through it?" As if he heard something interesting, the white-robed clergyman showed an inconspicuous smile on his face.
he said softly.
“I’m afraid you won’t be able to survive it. Even if you have a good tolerance for pain, our experiment is meant to reach a point that exceeds the limit of your tolerance.”
“ As long as you can still bear it, I will keep increasing it. Hahaha."
"Yes, really?" At this point, Adeline smiled a little unconfidently. , but she still sat on the chair without struggling.
Just trying to calm down my nervousness and fear with deep breaths.
Adeline's hands were also tied to the armrests of the chair, and the retained needle in her hand was exposed.
In the dim light, the white-robed priest brought over a tube of liquid that was so dim that the color could not be seen clearly. It looked like it was about to be injected into Adeline's body through the retention needle.
“This is the blood of a patient with gray blood.”
He explained to Adeline with great interest.
This made the Blood Saint purse her lips, because normally, clergymen would not talk well to people like her who did not participate in research.
She felt that maybe her enthusiasm was finally recognized by everyone?
So Adeline asked softly, somewhat relaxed.
"Will it infect me?"
"Yes, of course it will." The white-robed cleric leaned down to connect the outer mouth of the retention needle and said, "But don't worry, Sacred blood can cure all illnesses. "
"And your body is full of this sacred blood. It can't hurt you. It can't hurt you."
The other's mutterings echoed in the room, eventually twisting into an eerie whisper.
“Yes, yes, yes!” Adeline muttered to encourage herself, “No disease can resist the great [Blood Therapy]!”
“You don’t have to fight either. It." There was an indifferent smile on the face of the white-robed clergyman.
Adeline didn't know why, but she only felt that this smile made her feel more and more uneasy.
"What do you mean?"
"I said." The test tube containing the blood of the patient with gray blood has been connected to the external interface of the retention needle, and the finger of the white-robed priest has also been pressed on the push rod of the syringe!
"You don't have to fight it, Adeline. We need you to nurture it, with the endless supply of sacred blood in your body! Let it take root in your body!"
" Listen to its growth, listen to the knowledge it reveals in its growth that surpasses human wisdom!"
As he spoke, he ignored Adeline who didn't understand but was still panicking, and he was about to touch it with his fingers! The push rod was pushed down, injecting the blood into Adeline's body.
But at this moment, there was a noise outside the laboratory door, and it was getting closer and closer!
