Chapter 131: Information virus

This is a very quiet place. The air is filled with a faint floral scent. Someone has deliberately used perfume to try to cover up the blood and strong smell of disinfectant in the room.

The beds were neatly lined up in a row, but only the middle bed was occupied. Various books were piled next to the bed, which seemed to be for the patient to entertain himself.

Lorenzo stared blankly at the ceiling, his whole body lying on the soft bed, his left foot wrapped in bandages and held high in a stent, his other hand casually placed on the side, covered with pinholes from drug injections.

A week had passed since the night when Patriarch Lawrence appeared. The chaotic fight ended with Patriarch Lawrence's escape. According to reports from off-site personnel, Patriarch Lawrence seemed to have tried to kill Lorenzo, who had lost his ability to move due to erosion. But just as he was about to do it, the war airship in the night sky lost control and crashed, burying everything on the battlefield.

They found Lorenzo in the wreckage of the airship. His entire body was a bloody mess, with steel piercing through it. His left foot was the worst injured, with a large amount of metal fragments cutting into it.

So when Lorenzo woke up again, he was already here. This was a mental hospital secretly controlled by the Purge Agency, where all the corrupted soldiers would receive treatment.

During this period, Arthur came once. This super soldier didn't seem so super. He was leaning on crutches and wrapped in bandages. The sword of Priest Lawrence almost took his life. At that time, he held on on the battlefield only for Eve, otherwise he would have fainted long ago.

Lorenzo lost the battle, and the Purification Agency also lost. According to post-war investigations and analysis, the activation of the secret blood by Archbishop Lawrence brought about an erosion beyond imagination, and the range was very wide. A low-flying war airship was also affected, and most of the crew members were unconscious. Then the airship lost control and crashed directly. Fortunately, it only carried a small amount of ammunition, otherwise, after the secondary explosion, there would probably be no survivors on the scene.

Even though a week has passed, the post-war processing has not been completed, and the impact left by Priest Lawrence is still eroding the surrounding areas. According to investigations, residents within several kilometers have recently begun to have nightmares, and some have developed serious mental illnesses. The psychiatric hospital in Old Dunling is almost overcrowded.

The interior of the battlefield was handled by a well-protected scavenger force. The entire Salicado Manor was completely destroyed. Fortunately, during the battle, Lorenzo held back most of the demons and Archbishop Lawrence, and some nobles were transferred out at that time, so the casualties were not so shocking.

After dealing with these, the next question came from the public. Most residents watched the war airship crash, and the flames illuminated the entire night sky.

Due to the erosion and panic, the public security in the entire old Dunling became a bit chaotic. Fortunately, this group of scavengers were quite skilled in dealing with such matters. They reported all kinds of gas explosions and airship operating errors. They also hired several writers to write a few conspiracy theories, which only made the water more muddy by adding fuel to the fire.

This feeling was not good. At the moment he fell, Lorenzo had a familiar feeling, as if at that moment he had returned to that night, the Night of the Holy Coming.
