Law Enforcer's Handbook

Chapter 273 Lunar Eclipse
The High Priest was completely comatose. Although the Wild Devourer was slowly repairing the wound on his face, it seemed that the old man would not wake up in a short time.

After leaving that last sentence, another layer of will attached to him also disappeared.

Song Lan helped him onto the bed so that he could rest better.

"It seems that the people in the town turned into zombies not because of this wild devourer, but because of the influence of the moon."

He was thoughtful.

"The question is who threw the Devourer here?"

Lu Xiang said that although Song Lan has always described this Devourer as a wild Devourer, all Devourers are not products bred by nature. Biology, "Maybe there used to be a laboratory in this place."

It seems that even the residents of the small town don't know that there is such a huge space hidden under their feet.

If you want to know the truth of the problem, you can only go all the way down the holy land to reach the place where the devourer is.

The two didn't stay long. After the high priest fell into a coma, he walked down the holy land, passed through the pool of the hatchery, and walked across a bridge under the guidance of orange candle lights. Both sides of the bridge were bottomless. From time to time, the abyss echoed like whispers. No one knew where the abyss led to and what was hidden beneath it.

At the end of the bridge, a building with a decoration style completely different from the believer's hut appeared in front of the two of them.

At first glance, it looks like a ruined research facility. Under the cover of flesh and blood, there is a crescent-shaped emblem.

"Is this...a lunar eclipse?"

After seeing the emblem, Lu Xiang was startled.

"A lunar eclipse?"

"I've seen this kind of emblem before. They are the largest sect in the third country."

After the third war, the people of the third country suffered a lot, and the most serious problem was various diseases caused by radiation. The Lunar Eclipse Sect came into being in this environment.

"During a previous mission, we dealt with followers of the Eclipse Sect."

What these people believe in is not a certain god, but the moon itself." Their teachings mentioned that on a certain lunar eclipse night, faith will wash away all their suffering, so that they no longer have to suffer from the reality. Destroy."

"When was the last lunar eclipse?"

Song Lan suddenly thought of something and asked.

After a little thought, Lu Xiang came up with the answer, "A month ago."

"It coincided with the time when the virus spread."

The Lunar Eclipse Sect has indeed fulfilled their teachings and "washed" the suffering of their believers, but the method used is to turn them all into zombies. As long as they lose their brains, they will no longer suffer, and they even lie in the glowing sea There is no need to worry about radiation when taking a bath.

"You mean that the virus was actually brought by the moon?" Lu Xiang fell into deep thought. "The frequency of lunar eclipses is 1-3 times a year, which coincides with the frequency of infection outbreaks in third countries."

It is no wonder that Dr. Oleg and his team have traveled almost all over the third country in recent years, and have not found the source of infection. Who would have thought that the lunar eclipse phenomenon caused the infection?
"It's the moon that brings the virus. I don't think they will accept it even if you say that."

"Maybe it's not a virus, do you remember Andrew?"

Although the infected person seems to have been infected by some kind of spreading virus on the surface, the example of Andrew made Song Lan have another idea, "Dr. Oleg said that before Andrew escaped from the gymnasium, they once He was given six medical examinations, and all the results showed that he had not been infected with the virus. After escaping, Andrew immediately left the town and fled all the way to the location where the distress signal was sent. It stands to reason that he should be away from the source of infection. It's getting farther and farther."

Is there any virus that even the most professional doctors can't detect, but it can turn a person into a living zombie?

"After Andrew entered the pothole, the biggest difference from before was that he saw the murals and learned about the existence of the "mother's nest". The stories described in the murals were so religious that he believed at least part of them. After that, the biggest difference between him and Dr. Oleg is that he has always believed that he has been infected with the virus."

This is evident in the memos in his exoskeleton armor.

Even though all six physical examinations gave negative results, Andrew still firmly believed that the virus on his body had not been discovered by the medical team for the time being, but it would break out sooner or later.

"The question is, why did he have this cognition?"

As a doctor, what can help him make an accurate judgment should be objective inspection methods, not to mention that there is probably no doctor in the coalition government who knows more about infection than Oleg.

However, Andrew developed a kind of blind faith without any reason.

"You mean, this is actually some kind of spiritual virus?"

"Or rather, ability."

People who are blindly believed by people affected by abilities will be affected by the "virus". Whether it is a believer who has a good vision for the cleansing, or Andrew, who has fallen into self-doubt due to pressure and panic, eventually all of them will suffer. same thing.

And what spread this ability was probably the huge eye that replaced the moon in the night sky.

"The question now is, why was that eye caught by Oleg and the others this time?"

Obviously this is not the first time Oleg has dealt with the infection, nor is it the first time that they have gone deep into the infected town, but it is definitely the first time they have seen that weird moon.

What happened to the high priest seemed to bring them the answer.

"This wild Devourer seems to want me to help him deal with the moon, but another will from the moon wants us to go away, and in order to fight against the moon, the Devourer has slowed down the speed of its own transformation."

Everything they learned told of the moment when the moon was awaiting the completion of the Devourer's metamorphosis.

"Maybe it is the same as us, and it also came for this devourer."

Song Lan looked up at the crescent-shaped emblem on the destruction experiment facility, and after connecting everything together, all the mysteries have been answered, "I made a mistake before, this is not a wild devourer, but a lunar eclipse cult." created creations."

Put the devourers somewhere in the third country for cultivation, and when they transform, recover them.

In order to cover up all these secrets, all residents in the town became zombies without independent thinking under the influence of the lunar eclipse.

"There was a problem with their recycling this time, and the 'mother' had developed the will to resist them, so that it missed the 'receipt' time, so it was bumped into by Dr. Oleg's team. "
