the last gentleman

Chapter 225 Rainy Night
【Sunshine Hospital】

Even if there are samples of patients captured alive by Yi Chen, there are still problems in the analysis work. It is impossible to determine what pathogen it is, and even the type of disease cannot be judged.

The source of the disease is still called the "death factor".

It is only known that this black liquid unknown pathogen is equivalent to a "connection medium", which can connect and beautify various dead objects, and can reproduce the appearance and memory of the suicide without a corpse, so that the fake ones can be confused with the real ones.

Also got a terrible idea,

If all the inhabitants of Ravenholm die, the whole city will be replaced by such dead.

Sunshine Hospital immediately contacted all the temporary morgues where the dead bodies were stored,
Let the gentlemen sort out the appearance and address of the deceased tonight, and tomorrow will conduct a special investigation on the residence of the deceased, trying to catch more dead patients.

in addition,

Mr Hervoje also had a further autopsy breakthrough.

According to the patients brought back by Yi Chen, the sample analysis of this black liquid with connection function was carried out.

It was soon discovered that this black liquid is only liquid when it is attached to the dead animal, and has the relevant function of "connecting medium".

Once the attachment is removed, the black liquid will immediately evaporate into a gaseous state, lose its color and become completely transparent, which is difficult to catch with the naked eye.

Staring at the rapidly vaporizing liquid, a flash of light flashed in Hervoye's mind.

"Come with me, I seem to know how this gas is produced!"

Back to the operating room.

Old Mr. Hervoye brought in a shelter for the sick,
First lock a living dead person who has completed a brain transplant, and place blades, poison, and other props that can be used for suicide in the containment compartment.

After everything was ready, the two exited the operating room and closed the doors and windows to create a perfect suicide space for the living dead.

Wait 10 minutes to reopen the door.

The living dead who had been transplanted with the brain of the deceased had committed suicide,

Immediately pump out the gas in the containment chamber for testing and analysis, and its composition is exactly the same as the gas obtained by evaporating the black liquid.

"really!
The 'last breath' exhaled by a suicide who sees the symbol is this pathogen.

These gaseous substances carry the memory of the deceased. After exhaled, they will temporarily attach to the surrounding environment, and slowly find opportunities to gather mice in the sewer, insects passing by, or birds outside the house, or rotten meat in the kitchen.

By connecting, transforming, and disguising foreign objects, the [Dead] can be gradually constructed and endowed with memories, making the real ones look like real ones.

As the death toll increases, more and more dead will appear, eventually occupying the entire city of Ravenholm.

At present, it seems that the "last breath" only plays a connecting role, and it only takes effect on dead animals. The dead to be constructed are as much as possible to pretend to be citizens' normal lives.

The real threat of death may not yet come!When the dead reach a certain number, death will come completely.

Moreover, the source of passing the [symbol] is still unclear, and the corresponding 'thing' behind this incident is definitely something that has never been encountered since the establishment of the organization.

This matter must be reported, and if necessary, I am afraid that Ravenholm City really needs to be abandoned. "

While Hrvoje was preoccupied with the question of death,
A large needle filled with blood was directly pierced into his neck, and red blood vessels quickly spread all over his body, taking ownership of his body.

"Um!?"

The gentleman's clothing on Hervoye immediately responded, wanting to protect the owner and remove the blood from his body.

However, clothing with a skin content of more than 50% is actually invaded, a kind of containment from the skin level, making it unable to play any role.

【Two hours passed】

After Dean Diss drew up a "Search Warrant for the Dead" throughout the city and distributed it to each site, he also rushed to the operating room immediately.

When knocking on the iron door of the operating room,
Hervoye and his assistant, Lotson, are still playing with the living dead.

"Combined with the black fluid flowing out of the patient's body, did your autopsy find anything new?"

Hrvoye, who was having a craniotomy, turned his head, and a normal voice came out from under the medical mask: "No relevant connection has been found yet."

"Okay, it's not early tonight, so don't be too late."

With the dean's departure.

Blood oozes from Hervoye's mask, and his eyes become weird, muttering: "The body of the transcendent is really hard to control..."

As 'Hervoye' led his assistant out of the operating room, a thunderbolt happened to flash in the sky, and the strong light penetrated the window and shone on his face.

At this moment, another strange middle-aged face appeared.

If someone has carefully read the incident records of the Holy Grail Mountain illness, they will definitely recognize at this moment that the person corresponding to this face is the baron who lives in the Holy Grail Mountain, and is connected to the root of [septicemia].

"It's a dangerous city. I have to finish my work and leave quickly, otherwise I will be sucked into this whirlpool of death."

……

Sunshine Hotel - Superior Room on the 19th floor.

Yi Chen, who was lying on the sofa, woke up due to thunder, and a black shadow appeared in his slightly blurred vision just opened.

As the field of vision became clearer, the black shadow on the window sill slowly saw the specific outline.

a hanged woman,

The white dress soaked by the rainstorm, the bottom of the skirt is dripping,
Wet brunette curls drooping on his shoulders,
The eyeballs are about to pop out of their sockets, and the blackened tongue sticks out,

The arms hanging on both sides of the body begin to spread out to the left and right. Once the arms are horizontal and straight, the hanged woman will appear in the shape of a cross, and the knot around the neck also happens to correspond to the circle.

When the arms are about to be stretched,
Hum~ the moonlight flashes.

Yi Chen, who was supposed to be lying on the sofa, knelt in front of the woman on one knee, holding a full moon-shaped hand ax in his right hand, and instantly completed the slashing action.

The moonlight slash that took effect on the spirit body directly tore the woman in half, and a large amount of black water poured out of her body, which was swallowed up by the mice generated by the moonlight.

"Huh? It's a bit too much for the [Dead] to attack me directly..."

Yi Chen stood up, pressed the button of the ax handle with his thumb, restored the ax and hung it on his waist.

Barry, who heard the noise, immediately put on his armor and went to the window sill. There was nothing here.

"what's the situation?"

"The dead just appeared on the windowsill."

"What!?" Barry, who was not sober at first, was instantly refreshed.

"The rest of the night may require a rotating vigil, Barry, you..."

dong dong!

A sudden knock on the door interrupted their conversation.

Just when Barry put on his helmet and approached the door with his shield to check, Yi Chen's warning voice came from behind: "Don't look into the cat's eyes..."

Unexpectedly, Barry directly took out the mithril hammer with the family crest printed on it, and threw it with all his strength.

The door was smashed to pieces, and the heavy hammer was completely embedded in the wall opposite the corridor.

The smashed wall is still leaking black liquid, if you peep through the cat's eyes just now, you will see the cross pattern on the wall.

Barry was so frightened that he retreated to the dormitory, and put the big shield on the door as a temporary door.

"The crooked sun! Why did you suddenly come to the door in the middle of the night, and keep people from sleeping..."

"Don't even think about sleeping tonight, let's go down to the first floor of the hotel and tell the gentleman on duty what happened here."

"Ok."

Barry retrieved the large shield and hung it on his back.

However, the coat of arms on the surface of the large shield turned into a cross pattern at some point, and Yi Chen happened to see it... Bang Dang, he immediately swung the iron chain and knocked the large shield away.

"Barry, your shield?"

"Huh? Were you attacking me just now?"

Barry's voice changes,
When he turned around, there was a cross-shaped opening in the bucket helmet worn on his head, and a strange smiling face appeared inside, with black liquid still oozing from the corner of his mouth.

"William, why don't you just kill me and then kill yourself!
Don't struggle, no one can leave this city alive, everyone will die..."

As soon as the words fell, Barry rushed towards him like crazy.

At this time, Yi Chen had already sensed a slight disobedience, and used the needle in the palm of his hand to pierce the iron chain, and whipped a whip at himself.

Snapped!Open your eyes and wake up.

Yi Chen sat up from the sofa, the back of his hand was pierced by the iron chain needle, and bursts of tingling pain hit his heart.

Barry's snoring was in unison with the sound of rain outside, and no death struck.

"It's interesting... Has it somehow affected my spirit?"

Yi Chen had almost had enough sleep, so he just sat on the sofa and meditated until dawn.
