Looking at the filth in the isolation chamber, the atmosphere on the scene was somewhat awkward.
Those who didn't know would think that Yi Chen and Barry had gone insane, and went to the sewer to fish out a pile of dirt, claiming it was from patients with death-related illnesses.
But Dean Diss could tell at a glance that these dirts were unusual, or there was something hidden among the dirts. Perhaps it was these things that "connected" the various dirts to form the original image of the old lady.
After getting rid of the shackles of gentleman's skin,
The black liquid among the dirt slowly became active, turning into liquid threads that connected the different dirt. It was not to restore the original old lady, but to prepare to construct something else.
Slowly,
A structure resembling a cross is about to be formed by stringing together various animal carcasses.
Dean Diss suddenly dug into his right eye. This action immediately aroused the strong interest of the little grape in Yi Chen's body, but he was immediately disappointed, as if that thing was not entirely a grape.
The dug-out eyeball was stained with golden liquid, and there was no nerve connection at the tail, making it a perfect spherical shape.
The eyeball seemed to be an independent individual. It flew out of Dean Yu's palm by itself and hung just above the containment chamber.
Bang!
With the Dean's snap of fingers,
The eyeball suddenly burst into dazzling light, like a miniature sun.
Yeah~
Hiss, hiss, hiss~ The irradiated black liquid made a terrible scream and no longer formed a cross. It quickly disassembled into several different parts and hid among various dirt to avoid direct sunlight.
The difference is,
When Yi Chen and the others felt the sunlight, their bodies seemed to be infused with energy and full of strength. The iron chains that were integrated with plant properties even became active under such sunlight, as if they were performing an alternative form of photosynthesis.
"well done!"
Dean Diss gently patted the shoulders of the two men, and the right eye that had just been removed had fully recovered.
Yi Chen explained modestly: "It was just luck. On the way back, I found a house that was supposed to be empty, but the lights were on unexpectedly. And I happened to see a shadow swaying.
I estimate that there are many similar cases in the city. We can send people to search the houses where people have died, and perhaps we can find similar patients. "
Dean Dis gave him an admiring look and said, "You have great insight. It is impossible for ordinary people to notice this kind of situation during normal inspections.
You should have a special mentor or instructor in Zion, right?"
“Professor Chamberson was my first mentor.”
"White Owl? No wonder you have such good eyesight... Have you ever considered becoming a doctor? If you have this idea, you can come to me directly after this incident.
I can help you skip the apprenticeship stage and start directly as a pre-doctor."
"Thank you for your appreciation, Dean. I prefer the direction of the monitor."
“… Oh, what a shame.”
Dean Diss did not force it and changed the subject, "The contribution you have made will greatly speed up the investigation into the death. Next, as we touch upon the pathogen, the real danger may emerge.
I can write you a letter of praise for the mission right now, and you can return to Zion with this letter to submit the mission."
Yi Chen immediately waved his hand to refuse. He was not here just for the mission reward. The fun had just begun, and the next part was the most interesting.
"I'd like to stay here and continue to assist with the investigation, Barry... Do you want to go back?"
Yi Chen could see that Knight Barry regretted coming here and was not very good at handling this kind of incidents, so it was just right to take this opportunity to let him go back.
"Let's investigate together."
It seemed like he was answering with determination, but in reality his expression was twisted under Barry's bucket mask.
For some reason, a certain impulse suddenly surged in his body and completely suppressed his timidity. He wanted to continue cooperating with Yi Chen, so he had to at least show his relevant "effect".
After only one day of cooperation, Barry realized that Yi Chen was an absolute monster who would surpass him in just a few months.
This is the only opportunity for cooperation, and he wants to cherish it.
Seeing that the two were so determined, Dean Diss said nothing more and took out the Sun Badge from his pocket and handed it to the two.
"After wearing it, you will have the authority of the Church of the Sun, and you can directly enter some restricted areas in the city. It may also save your life in a critical moment. Of course, it mainly depends on you."
"Thank you, Dean."
"I hope you can make more breakthrough discoveries... By the way, this is the 'pattern' extracted by Mr. Hervoye. You should avoid coming into contact with this kind of symbols during the investigation."
"Hmm! Have you confirmed that it is visual transmission?"
Yi Chen took the paper and returned it immediately after he roughly understood the pattern. He had no knowledge of this pattern of a cross with a small circle on it and had never seen it before.
The dean patted my shoulder again and said, "It's getting late tonight. You should go to the nearest concentration camp and rest for the night. With the badges on your bodies, the people over there will arrange a good room for you."
"OK."
Yi Chen did not refuse this suggestion. Facing this kind of unknown mental illness, good rest is very important.
But before going to the concentration camp, he had one more thing to do.
When I walked out of the isolation room, a hand suddenly rested on my shoulder from behind. It was the white-haired Lotson.
"William, I knew you would be able to make a breakthrough investigation. Great! This way, we might be able to complete the mission early and go back to receive the organization's reward.
I will also work hard to assist Mr. Hervoye in making anatomical breakthroughs."
Lotson still narrowed his eyes, and his words made Yi Chen feel very uncomfortable.
"Well, I hope nothing goes wrong."
Yi Chen said this deliberately for the other party to hear.
"Don't worry, this is the Sunshine Clinic. Mr. Hervoye is a strong man who has broken through his limits. What can go wrong with him around? Good night, go to the concentration camp and have a good rest."
He still waved in his signature manner and watched Yi Chen and the other man leave.
There was even a carriage ready outside the hospital to take the two to the concentration camp, but Yi Chen politely declined on the grounds that it was not too late and he wanted to familiarize himself with the city by walking.
Moreover, the nearest concentration camp is a large hotel, which is less than a kilometer away from the hospital and can be reached on foot in a few minutes.
However,
Just as he was about to reach the hotel, Yi Chen suddenly turned into another street.
"William, where are you going? Isn't the hotel just in front?"
"It's still early. It would be a waste to go back and rest now. Now that I have obtained the status bestowed by the dean, I should seize the opportunity and make good use of it.
I'm going to the cemetery, Barry, are you coming?"
"Wow~Haven't you figured out that if you're alone, you'll be easily targeted by death? How can I refuse?"
"Then let's go."
Half an hour later,
On a street without any residential buildings and all street lights turned off, the fog flooded the entire street like a river. Even with the help of a kerosene lamp, the visibility would not exceed three meters.
Barry, who was wearing heavy armor, was a little scared. He stayed close to Yi Chen all the time to ensure that his armor was in constant contact with the other's clothes.
I don't know how much time has passed,
Yi Chen suddenly turned around and adjusted the brightness of the kerosene lamp to maximum, then reached forward.
The majestic, eerie black gate appeared in the mist.
A gargoyle squatting on top of the gate suddenly opened its eyes, and the crimson eyes stared at the two strange outsiders~ Ka! The rock covering it began to loosen, as if it was about to come alive.
