Law Enforcer's Handbook

Before this, "Emperor" had never seen this virus.

Infected hearts mutate and are eventually replaced by machinery and gears, which to a person who believes in modern science doesn't make biological sense.

This also made him even more curious about what kind of future Diego had seen before killing Father Gordel in this way.

He took Diego away from the central square of Silvermoon Harbor and returned to the ruins of the Eclipse Church, which has now become the home of orphans.

After arriving at "home", he asked, "What have you seen?"

"Father Gaudel infected everyone and turned everyone into monsters."

"monster?"

"Robots...they look just like you."

This answer made the "Emperor" fall into silence.

First of all, he felt that it needed to be clarified that he had not been infected with the virus, but had voluntarily replaced these prosthetic bodies in order to fight against dangerous enemies like "Domination".

The weakness of psychic users lies in their weak bodies, and prosthetic body transformation is a means for them to quickly get rid of these weaknesses.

The researchers of the Psychic Ability Institute are obviously also aware of this, so the concept of arming was born, which is a way to integrate prosthetic bodies and psionic energy.

He still can't quite grasp the future that Diego sees, though.

"You mean, Father Gordel forced other people on the port to transplant prosthetic bodies?"

"Prosthetic?"

Diego looked puzzled.

The "Emperor" thought that the concept of prosthetic body has not been popularized in the "outside world", so he explained, "It is probably through surgery to transform the body part into a machine."

"No."

Diego shook his head, "People who are infected will become like this soon."

He didn't regret it. If he did it all over again, he would still attack Father Gordel without hesitation, and kill this plague in its infancy.

The messenger of "Father God" said that taking their hearts is the only way to kill them.

Otherwise, other fatal injuries will only increase the mutation speed of their bodies.

Although the people in the town want to catch them in exchange for bounties, he still likes this port city and has left many good memories here. Diego never wants it to be replaced by cold machines.

The "Emperor" fell silent.

He started to use the built-in engine of the operating system, and searched for keywords such as "mechanical virus" according to Diego's description, but in the end he found nothing.

So far, neither the coalition government nor the "outside" has ever seen a virus capable of transforming human flesh into machinery. The only virus similar to it is called "Flesh Plague", which happened to happen in the third In the neutral country, the residents infected with the plague of flesh and blood will eventually lose their minds and become beasts driven by instinct. Their behavior is probably similar to that of the zombies in the movie.

The dispatched department of the coalition government discovered that the "flesh plague" can not only infect humans, but even machinery and artificial intelligence will be affected by the plague and mutated if exposed to the plague for a long time.

The "mechanical plague" described by Diego is just the opposite.

If he hadn't seen the heart of the gear set grow out of Father Gaudel with his own eyes, I'm afraid he would have taken it as Diego's nonsense.

A fanatical believer, his spirit is often in a rather unstable state.

At this moment, Diego became the only way for him to understand this plague.

"How do we identify who is infected with this... mechanical plague?"

"do not know."

Diego shook his head blankly, "The messenger of 'Father God' told me that Father Gordel was infected, so I got rid of him."

As for when Father Gaudel was infected and how he was infected, he didn't know anything.

The "Emperor" knows that the messenger of "Father God" probably refers to the "Whisper" that appeared in the Lingguang Theater Troupe. When we met last time, he asked himself to go to the Misty Islands. With the arrival of the high-level councilors, the island Events are taking place that may affect the future of the coalition government and the world as a whole.

But now his plans were disrupted.

Father Gordel, who was able to take him to the Misty Isles, is dead.

The Tidal Church in Silvermoon Harbor fell into chaos after losing its backbone. Some of them fell into fear, and some threatened to torture the murderer to death.

He had to find a new way to cross the unknown sea.

It is obviously irrational to fight a monster of that size on the sea surface, his ability will fall into a state of being restrained - in the state of fully launching his ability, his ship will sink to the bottom of the sea first.

His intuition told him that there must be more terrifying monsters under that sea area.

....................................

When Song Lan woke up from sleep, it was already noon outside.

Although he slept late, he didn't relax at all, and his mood became more and more heavy instead.

Another mechanical plague he had never heard of was born in Silvermoon Port, and until the end, he didn't understand how to identify those infected.

The scene Diego saw in his dream was extremely vague. He only saw that everyone in the port had become a machine without flesh and blood, but he couldn't tell how their temperament would change after they became machines.

After talking to Lu Xiang, he heard even worse news.

A similar case also occurred in the seventeenth district.

The dead were three homeless men who also had their hearts hollowed out.

This shows that the mechanical plague has penetrated into the seventeenth district.

"You mean, after they were infected, their hearts turned into gears, and the people who killed them were actually trying to prevent the spread of the plague?"

Lu Xiang summarized Song Lan's story on the other end of the phone.

Captain Doug has attached great importance to this sudden vicious case, and now the special operations team is holding an emergency meeting next door.

However, Song Lan, who had never been to the scene and just slept late at home, was one step ahead of them and found a new clue.

This had to remind Lu Xiang of the absurd theory put forward by Song Lan - as long as one is lucky, everyone is a detective.

Dumbbird seems to be proving his theory right.

This may be called the "dream to solve crimes".

Song Lan asked, "Where did those three people go last?"

"The bar, they hang out in the bar every day."

Although he had a premonition in his heart, Lu Xiang still confirmed the result, "They may have infected other people in the bar, or the people who infected them are still spreading the virus in the bar."
