The size of Laiwenholm is roughly equivalent to a prefecture-level city when Yi Chen was alive. It would cost a lot of time to go too far.
Since the hospital is located in the western part of the city, we will search the residential area here.
only,
Yi Chen did not immediately start searching for the body, but was thinking about something else.
Just now, I met Dean Dis by chance and was attracted by his unique appearance and the sunshine glow emanating from his body. Naturally, I also thought of the "Secret Sun Medicine" which is closely related to the dean himself and the development of the hospital.
After all, having experienced what happened at the Twilight Clinic, Yi Chen couldn't help but associate the deaths here with the secret medicine.
He knew very well that the gentlemen would never doubt the elite gentlemen who were able to pass layers of selection and become doctors, let alone the powerful Dean Dis.
Walking on the streets completely occupied by fog, Yi Chen gently tapped Knight Barry's armor and asked, "How much do you know about the "Sun Secret Medicine"? "
"It's a very famous secret medicine for combat. You should know it, right?"
"I roughly know the relevant uses. What I want to ask is, Barry, do you know any information related to the manufacture of secret medicines? For example, what kind of patients are used? How to extract key materials from patients? It would be best if you could know the specific production process."
Although Barry looks honest, he is not stupid at all. Yi Chen's intention was too obvious when he suddenly asked this question at this time.
"Don't make random assumptions about this kind of thing. Dean Dis has a very high reputation in the organization. The flare enhancement provided by the "Sun Secret Medicine" plays an irreplaceable role in the organization's exploration of medium and large gray areas."
Yi Chen also replied nonchalantly: "It's a good thing to have one more direction to consider, and I'm only talking to you alone, and I won't doubt you publicly.
Barry, you were born into a knight family, and your profession and characteristics should be very compatible with the Sun Secret Medicine. You should know some inside information, right?"
Barry did not deny this. Their family received a batch of secret medicines distributed by the organization every month, one of which was the Sun Secret Medicine.
“There is no problem with the production process of the Sun Secret Medicine, because the key to its production is not the patient, but Dean Dis.
After the death of ordinary patients suffering from "sunspot disease", their bodies will be buried in the plantation of Sunshine Hospital, and will be exposed to sunlight released directly or indirectly by Dean Dis every day.
Eventually, a sunflower-like plant will grow from the head of the corpse.
Pick the sunflower seeds from above, grind them and get the liquid which is the "secret medicine of the sun".
Most people know this process, but the production process must rely on Dean Dis's sunlight. Only here can the secret medicine be produced."
"Planting the dead? Hmm... that doesn't sound like a problem."
The matter of the secret medicine of the sun was put aside for the time being.
While chatting, the two had walked through a block. Staying in this dead silent gray fog for a long time gave Barry, who was wearing armor, goose bumps.
"Speaking of which, how can we find the deceased as soon as possible? If we want to control the time of death within five minutes, we may have to start moving the deceased as soon as he dies."
Yi Chen rubbed his chin with two fingers, thinking and saying: "It doesn't really matter whether he lives or dies, as long as we can confirm his 'suicidal tendencies'. It would be better if we can bring him back alive, right
However, the resident gentleman must have had the same idea as me, but no one has ever been able to capture the "suicide" alive in these days.
Combined with my previous statistics, the majority of deaths are among people living alone and homeless people. If we analyze them together, we can get a rather disturbing conclusion. "
"What speculation?" Barry was obviously a little overwhelmed.
"Individuals affected by death, in addition to their instinctive desire to die, will also ensure their own 'independence' and ensure that their death is not discovered.
Take the gentlemen who died recently, for example, they all disappeared first, and their bodies were found one or two days later. The reason is that the gentlemen's willpower is much greater than that of ordinary people and they are protected by the "skin of a gentleman", so they may be able to resist the implantation of the concept of death for a period of time.
In addition, most gentlemen also have the ability to protect themselves and heal themselves, so it is much more difficult for them to commit suicide than ordinary people.
In order to ensure that their death goes smoothly, they will disappear on purpose and hide in unknown corners. They will only commit suicide when they are absolutely sure that they will not be discovered and can succeed in committing suicide. "
Barry thought of something and asked, "Why did the 'living dead' who had his brain transplanted in the ward commit suicide even though we were spying on him? We could have stopped him from jumping off the building, right?"
"After 30 minutes of death, the brain tissue has already had problems, and his pursuit of death and judgment of the environment will also be problematic... At that time, we can also see that the living dead also looked around the ward at first, and after confirming that there was no one, he rushed to the window impatiently."
"Yeah, that makes sense." Barry shook his barrel-shaped helmet back and forth.
“As for the independence of suicide, Mr. Hervoye’s brain transplant surgery can perfectly address this issue.
Controlling the living dead in advance and then performing a brain transplant can effectively curb suicidal behavior. Opening the skull to detect the dead in a living state may really help us find out the real cause of death."
"Well, let's quickly bring back some fresh dead for Mr. Hervoye."
"Don't worry, this thing depends on luck."
After searching for a while, they found that no one died on any of the streets that the two had deliberately walked through. It was as if "someone" was watching everything in secret, and would not commit suicide as long as there was a risk of being discovered.
Yi Chen also deliberately visited some families, describing himself as the temporary patrolman of the neighborhood, and asked them to contact him at any time if there was any unusual situation at home.
Before I knew it, four hours had passed.
Nothing was found... No one died in this block. After all, the city of Wenholm is so big, it is normal that dozens or hundreds of people died every day and did not die in one block.
Barry heard a gurgling sound from under his armor, and he suggested, "It's getting dark, why don't we just leave it at that for today? Let's go back to the hospital first. Perhaps Mr. Hervoye's autopsy has made a breakthrough, and we may not need to provide a fresh corpse."
"Let's go back and eat something first. I want to go out for a walk late at night."
Barry glanced at Yi Chen at this moment, and saw obvious unwillingness in Yi Chen's eyes, as well as a strong interest in this unknown death.
Just as the two were walking back, before they had completely walked out of a street, Yi Chen suddenly stopped.
With his head tilted to the side, he gazed at an ordinary single-story residential house on the side of the road under the light of a street lamp. On the doorpost was a rusty metal houseplate - 112 Ferro Street.
"Barry, let's go take a look."
"Huh? Didn't you say you were going back to eat? Why are you still doing public interviews?"
"Go back after you finish this."
Dongdong~Knock on the iron door
Not long after, an old lady with kind eyes, gray hair, and wearing a pink spotted apron opened the door. A strong smell of meat wafted out from the gap in the door. It seemed that she was making dinner.
"Hello, my name is William Behrens, and this is my partner Barry. We are the two gentlemen who are temporarily in charge of this area. Can you come in and sit down?"
"welcome!"
It is because of the existence of gentlemen that Laiwenholm has been able to develop into what it is in this pathological world, and the people living here are very friendly to the gentleman group.
Although the interior layout and decoration are old, they are very tidy.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"not yet."
"It just so happens that I'm alone at home and can't eat much every day, and then you gentlemen will send extra food over, and I'm wondering whether I should send some of the extra food to my neighbors.
Wait a moment, I'll prepare some food for you, thank you for your hard work during this special period."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Yi Chen came to the living room and sat down casually.
Barry asked helplessly, "William, you didn't come here to visit because you saw that they were cooking, so you can have dinner here? You can save the trip back to the hospital and continue searching for the body."
“That’s one of the reasons…”
Yi Chen side-glanced at Barry to sit next to him, then he quickly tore off a page from the corpse registration book he brought out from the hospital and quietly handed it to him.
The house number recorded on the paper corresponds to this room.
