Chapter 152 The Withered World
Novel prions are the official word.
Among professionals, it has a more appropriate name: blood plague.
Every blood plague patient hides a monster in different forms.
They are said to represent the patient's deepest imagery, evil in its purest form.
In my memory, an expert who specializes in teaching newcomers once described it like this:
The id refers to the most primitive self without any pretense. It is like a cauldron of instinct and desire boiling, chaotic and disorderly.
The ego, in the middle position, regulates the contradiction between the id and the superego. On the one hand, it satisfies the id properly, and on the other hand, it must ensure that the behavior does not cross the line.
The superego is the supreme good, the social norm, which guides the ego and limits the id.
What patients with blood plague are facing is the real self under the physical body, those evil secrets, arrogance, contempt, and hatred that cannot be revealed to others...
These things breed monsters that squirm under the skin and seek breakthroughs.
When the patient's willpower is completely exhausted, the monster will tear up the old body and trample on social rules wantonly: killing, devouring flesh and blood, and satisfying various dark desires deep in the heart.
Putting aside the complicated and obscure philosophical terms above, and describing it in more common language, Lu Li thinks it should be:
Under the influence of the mysterious virus, human beings have gradually turned into beasts, their appearances have become more and more deformed, and their abilities have become more and more strange.
However, what is the extent of the disease of patient No. 14 in front of him?
Thinking of this, Lu Li looked at the raised quilt, rubbed the hilt of the wolf's head sword, and stimulated him with words:
"Mr. Rhodes, have you eaten Tommy?"
"It's dead, who will walk with you in the future."
"Stay away, please, baby."
A whimper sounded from inside, apparently Mr. Rhodes had lost his mind, and he regarded the male investigator as his wife.
"Lock the door, run away, and never come near me again, okay?"
After saying this, the patient completely lost his mind, because Lu Li heard it laughing sharply:
"Eat you! Hahahahahaha! Hahahaha! Everyone will die!"
Immediately afterwards, the quilt began to shake violently, and it was not difficult to guess that the person lying inside should be convulsing like an epileptic.
"well……"
"The world is sick and dying."
Suddenly, Lu Li felt that he was very happy. The world he originally lived in had never had such weird things happen.
However, the emotion is the emotion, and the things that should be dealt with cannot be delayed.
Lu Li imitated the old demon hunter Abraham's posture, and chanted: "My blade is shining with silver light!"
As a result, I didn't feel anything, my strength didn't increase, my spirit didn't lift up, and except for a little shame in my heart, my body was in the same state as before.
It seems that this is just the old man's personal hobby, there is no need to follow suit.
"Hehehehehe...you all have to die!"
at the same time.
The howl sounded like a ruthless mockery, which made Lu Li lose face.
At the same time, he was also curious why Mr. Rhodes, who had fallen into madness, never showed up.
hum...
Buzz buzz!
The phone vibrated violently, and someone kept sending messages, obviously impatient to wait.
"I'm going to see blood just after transmigrating, right from the start? I hope it's a good omen."
The room is dimly lit.
A silver light flashed.
Dark blood dripped down the quilt, and the solid wood floor made a sizzling sound, as if it had been burned.
Gives a sense of foreboding.
And two minutes later, a video was uploaded to the organization intranet——
A humanoid creature bound by a dog chain was lying on the bed, its chest and abdomen were completely opened, exposing its rotting internal organs, and beside it, there were piles of canine hair and bones.
Judging from the picture, the photographer is in front of it, holding the camera and looking down.
Because of this, the abdomen of the humanoid creature didn't look swollen obviously, but the superficial skin was still broken, revealing the pink dermis tissue and thick blood vessels like tree roots.
Then, a trace of white flame rose, and it took less than a breath to cover the entire screen. Finally, the narration sounded:
"Patient No. 14 has been dealt with, and the remains have been handed over to the person in charge of the site for containment."
Newcomer Lu Li successfully completed his first mission.
Massive amounts of data gushed out from supercomputers and went to secret sites set up all over the world. All the information about "Lu Li, the head of a certain city's CDC" has been destroyed. Impressions are left in people's minds, but there is no way to find them.
On the other side, a brand new "Lu Li" was fabricated out of thin air, and his age, education, nationality, and even social experience were all modified.
two hours later.
In the middle of the night.
A helicopter parked in the outskirts, the pilot smiled and waved.
Lu Li walked over quickly with a plastic bag in his hand, and muttered, "It's so urgent, is the real drama about to start?"
Immediately afterwards, he stepped into the cabin, fastened his seat belt, and tied the lifeline.
At this time, the driver turned his head and found that Lu Li was still holding a skewer in his hand. He couldn't help complaining, "It seems that the organization interrupted you for supper."
"Are all the rookies so strong now? The psychological quality is really good. After dealing with the monsters, they still have the mind to patronize the barbecue restaurant."
After saying that, the driver shook his head and concentrated on the dashboard in front of him.
After the plane took off smoothly, Lu Li handed over a bunch of roasted kidneys, and asked tentatively, "Have you encountered any trouble? You even sent a special plane to pick it up."
"Besides, I'm just a newcomer."
"I signed the confidentiality agreement, so I can't say anything."
The driver, Rosen, wiped off the oil and barbecue ingredients left on the corner of his mouth, and said casually, "This kidney is fine, very fresh, but the ingredients are a bit small."
"I'll give you two more strings, let's talk."
Lu Li decided to bribe the other party, and at the same time explained the truth: "Anyway, you have to tell me what the specific task is when we get to the place, so it's better to say it now."
A hand reached out.
Rosen decided to temporarily lower his professional ethics a little bit:
"You're right, the administrator who made this rule must have had his mind caught by the door."
"Besides, I didn't eat dinner."
Sure enough, the memory was correct, and most of the members were unreliable, either cold-faced killers or sand sculptures.
Lu Li said helplessly, "Okay, I'll give you half...forget it, two-thirds..."
A few minutes later, the burp sounded.
Rosen controlled the plane with one hand, and while picking his teeth, he said, "The destination of this flight is the Condor Federation. Specifically, it is a semi-abandoned mental hospital in the wilderness in the northern part of the Federation."
Mental hospital?
Lu Li was a little surprised. He thought he was going to contain something with a higher level of danger, but he just went to explore.
"Don't take it seriously, that place is very evil."
