"That's why I came here. Among the believers of [Spirit of All Things], there are a large number of granters who are proficient in healing, but it would be too troublesome to send them to other places. The Nolan Diocese can deal with such fatal injuries, and they can also Only three people were cured in time, but only you are the most leisurely."
Captain Bincy concluded that Jenkins could not refute this "leisure" since he was a civilian after all.
The young man who was tied up in the prison was a death row inmate brought out from the prison, and now he can be called a test product.
The man was charged with blackmail, and he was originally an assistant to a well-known detective. While working, he intercepted sensitive photos taken by the detective when he was investigating an extramarital affair, and directly extorted gold pounds from the victims at the request of sending the photos to the newspaper.
The young man had some means, and his job as a detective assistant made him pay great attention to his own concealment. But his greed was too strong, and he blackmailed five victims within a week. The police station and the post office cooperated with each other and found him very easily. Today is only the fourth day of being arrested.
As for the trial, one of the extorted subjects held an important position in the city hall, so the trial process was carried out quickly, which can be regarded as saving taxpayers' money.
According to the kingdom's law, anyone who extorts more than 100 pounds can be sentenced to hang, so this sentence is actually very reasonable, but there are some problems in the process.
"He now has 34 years left to live."
The old man pointed a pocket watch-like golden ornament at the unconscious young man, looked down for a moment, and then said to Jenkins, "Luke will stab out the spear in a moment, and then pull it out quickly. You can treat it immediately, can you?"
"no problem."
The strong man behind the old man pulled out the slender steel gun wrapped in linen, the blood-red stain on the steel tip of the spear was very eye-catching. It resembled the trace left by dried blood, but when Jenkins looked at it, he felt that the trace was alive.
"Are you ready?"
Two other men in khaki robes helped the unconscious young man up. The strong man pointed his gun at the open chest and asked Jenkins.
"Three, two, one!"
The spear was stabbed out firmly, without the slight sound of flesh and blood breaking, but a pile of tiny metal parts fell out of the wound.
The strong man froze for a moment, and hastily pulled out his spear, revealing his empty chest. Jenkins reached out and pressed it, but took it away quickly.
While shaking the sticky mixture of blood and oil stains on his palm, he frowned and said:
"I can only speed up the healing process, not create organs out of thin air."
Everyone in the room looked at the empty chest of the young man. There was no flesh and blood there, only densely packed small gear-shaped workpieces biting together, and there were some minced meat in the gears, which together presented a strange and strange beauty.
"Sage! This is A-08-1-9990 gear germ, the group of guys from the [Gear Artisan Association]!"
Captain Bincy growled.
The testing of B-02-3-8810 was nothing but the discovery of the gear bug that was the real big deal. It can be known from the name that this is a biological creepy thing, and it has the general characteristics of germs - [infection].
Mr. Smith and the old man from the [Church of Everything and Nature] immediately took out a ritual silver dagger and cut their own fingers. After taking a sip of their own blood, they asked the people around them to do the same.
Including Jenkins, there were a total of nine people present who cut their fingers one by one. One of the middle-aged people seemed to have a blood problem. He just put the cut finger into his mouth, and he was stunned. .
"He's infected."
Jenkins heard Captain Bincy whispered beside him, his tone full of pity.
"A-08-1-9990 Gear germs are transmitted by air, water, skin contact, etc. Once infected, unless the body is completely incinerated, it will eventually become a gear man made of gears without emotions , Of course, when the gearing of the internal organs is greater than 30%, he can no longer be considered a human being."
Jenkins, Captain Bincy, and Mr. Smith went back to the city in the same carriage, and Mr. Smith explained to Jenkins slowly.
"You can think of it as a special kind of flu, and every time it's found in a densely populated area, it's a disaster."
"Will there be a plague?"
Jenkins asked worriedly.
"No, a germ source can only infect a limited number of people. For a patient carrying a germ source, the heart will be the first to be fully geared ahead of all organs, just like the man just now. He has been infected for a long time, and now we The focus should be on the people he came in contact with before and after his arrest, viral meta can only be made in a special way."
When Mr. Smith was in the hospital, he had already notified the church of what happened here with a triangular charm. Now the police station and prison should be very lively.
"A-08-1-9990 Gear Bacteria is a weird thing that is completely controlled by the [Gear Craftsman Association]. There is reason to believe that they have the means to manufacture this kind of bacteria in small batches."
Captain Bincy's expression was very serious, his collar was turned up to cover half of his face. At this time, a large black book was suspended in front of him. There was a continuously rotating gear embedded in the cover of the book. Every time Captain Xi swung his right hand, the book would emit a puff of steam:
"Every time this kind of germ appears, it means that the lunatics of the artisan association have produced a considerable number of germ infection sources. The good news is that the infection ability of this germ is far weaker than ordinary people. The bad news is that ordinary people The destructive power and strange ability after infection are comparable to that of a general level 3 gifter."
Although the carriage was privately owned by the church and the coachman could be trusted, the three of them still did not discuss this issue too much. Jenkins got off the car at the intersection near the Fifth Queen's Road. Mr. Smith and Captain Bincy had to go to the church to gather staff to trace the source of the germs and prepare for the prevention and control of the epidemic.
"This city really doesn't stop for a moment."
Jenkins sighed slightly, stroked Chocolate's fur, and decided to go to Dad's first.
"Gear germs?"
Dad was so frightened that he dropped everything he was holding.
"Have you heard of it too?"
"Of course, I almost got it during the last outbreak fifty years ago."
He paced around a few times and looked up at Jenkins:
"Come back at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, bring the gun and the charm, and I will take you to a place."
"Wait, Dad!"
Jenkins immediately became vigilant: "Every time the two of us go out together, we must encounter unusual things. Are you sure you really want to take me there."
"real."
Dad said confidently.
