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 element in the grain still exists, and after eating it, the disease will be replicated and become infected, but the injury can no longer spread the plague, which is equivalent to abolishing the strongest part of the plague.

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 that's 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 from the people. Here, you may meet the city lord and his people to poison the wheat when you go out for a drink at night, and even have a few chats. sentence, so it has a close relationship with all 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 has frequently rioted knows that this is a very troublesome matter. At least there must be an excuse that can be believed by the people. 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 felt that he had 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 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 murderer behind the scenes was not alerted, there would be no 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 pulled 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 others 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.

Seeing 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?"

"I don't know yet, but as you may think, this ritual is recorded in the Necronomicon, and I do know it." Dr. Swain bit his lip with a gloomy expression, "After I come back, I will discuss it with several members of the clan. The priest mentioned it, maybe 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, and you're asking too many questions."

Natalie wanted to say something more, but Lynch held her hand and shut her mouth immediately. Lynch squeezed the police officer's rough hand to tell her to calm 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.

"There are so many things to care about. I have already told you that I will not mislead you. Why are you still staring at me?" The irritable female doctor turned her head away angrily, muttered for a while before she softened, and said angrily, "Okay, okay. Well, I will tell you before I do anything. I won’t kill myself silently. Okay. Really, aren’t you hiding secrets? How dare you say that you don’t know where the corpse is? Where?"

Lynch smiled bitterly and sighed.

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, because even a minute later may lead to more deaths. Too many people, 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 attempt to conceal anything. "We listened to what Butler Rocky mentioned. The City Lord would not suddenly want to keep his son alive for no reason. The supplies were specially moved 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 in case he got mad and sneaked into the basement. Check, then I will harm him. I plan to at least wait until the medicine is prepared before taking action, which is safer."

"That's right." Dr. Swen showed a satisfied expression, "We must wait until the medicine is prepared before making a decision."

Miss Diana immediately understood: "Is that corpse dangerous?"

"Of course it is dangerous. It can affect corpses in farmland hundreds of miles away. It is very contaminated. If we are not careful, it will cause widespread infection, especially for those of us who are in direct contact. If we are not careful, our lives will be in danger. Let's wait. There is no rush tonight. Let me prepare the medicine first."

Yes, as long as the medicine is prepared, everything will be fine.

In theory, this is the case.

Dr. Swen needs to work late tonight, and Lynch and the other four are worried about any emergencies, so they simply let the soldiers clean up a barracks, and the four of them live in it together, starting their first night of cohabitation.

What they did during this period was so outrageous that Lynch was embarrassed to tell others, and he couldn't charge them.

Because the four of them were just reading books, it was simply a waste of time.

To be precise, the four of them borrowed some books from Dr. Swen's collection, Judy was responsible for reading, and the other three were responsible for memorizing.

Doctor Swen has mastered many profound secrets. After the four of them take them back, they may be able to gain something good.

But copying is definitely not an option. If they copy out, it will be a mysterious document, which will be too laborious for the transcriber. The four of them can only try to remember as much as possible. How much they can bring back depends on their memory.

However, there are two poor students and one second-generation official here... Lynch has begun to despair.

The time of study often passes quickly, especially when there are only a few days left. The sky is getting darker and darker. The red moon is already in the west, and the silver moon is moving towards the center of the sky.

It is almost midnight.

Doctor Swen is fine. Except for being interrupted several times by Lynch who came to visit and finally kicked him out very angrily, everything is normal.

Knight Terry has not come back yet. It seems that he will stay at the city lord's mansion. I just don't know whether it will be one night or forever. Even if the four of them are worried, they can't help much. They can only hope that he is safe.

There are not many people left in the barracks. Most of the soldiers have been sent out to patrol the city. The fortress is unusually quiet.

The whole of Nofland was also shrouded in silence. In the embrace of the goddess of night, the city seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

It was quiet and peaceful, and the wind was calm.

Everything was so calm.

Until a light suddenly lit up in the night sky in the south.

Red flames.

There was a fire in the direction of the city center.
