Soul echo

Chapter 598 'Virus'
"I need to see your city guard!" Zhong Ye frowned and said to the soldiers, "I have something important to discuss."

"This..." The soldiers looked at each other again.

The city guards can't see them as soon as they want, even if the master says 'I have something important to discuss', if they directly recommend to the city guards, they will definitely be punished.

Several soldiers hesitated for a while, and suddenly someone had a flash of inspiration, thinking of Zhong Ye's previous actions.

He seemed to feel something after feeling the pulse of the fainted soldier, and then grabbed another soldier's wrist to force him to feel his pulse. Did he notice something at this time?
Thinking of this, the soldier felt quite frightened.

The brothers stationed on the city wall are people who get along with him day and night. If problems are found in them, then is there a problem in himself?

Realizing this, the soldier pulled the brothers around him and whispered to them.

The eyes of the other soldiers also slowly opened, filled with unbelievable colors.

This kind of thing is better to be believed than not to be believed, not to mention that the Bianliang plague is spreading today, and they themselves are also infected with the plague, but the symptoms are not so serious, so they are sent out to stand guard.

Are their problems related to the plague?

They were not clear about this, they only knew that the master seemed to see something.

The soldiers quickly made a decision: "Hero, please stay here... No, the sun is too strong here, please wait a while under the tower, we are going to ask for instructions!"

"Yes." Zhong Ye nodded, and then entered the tower under the guidance of the soldiers.

The soldiers did not follow because their duty was to guard the walls.

Lilian glanced at the barrage, and the audience was already arguing, constantly guessing what Zhong Ye had discovered.

"Teacher, did something happen?" Lilian raised her head and asked.

"To be honest, I'm not sure if this is a plague..."

Zhong Ye frowned, his left hand held his right elbow, his right hand pinched his chin, his brain was running rapidly.

"In the context of the Eastern dialect, 'plague' can be used to refer to all diseases with rapid onset and dangerous symptoms, even if the disease is caused by bugs, it can also be called a plague."

As he spoke, Zhong Ye looked up at the ceiling, and the soldiers on duty were separated from them by a ceiling.

"From the bodies of those soldiers just now, I felt two kinds of pulses, one is their own, and the other is something that I don't know. That thing is hidden in their bodies, about the position of the liver."

Lilian was stunned, she didn't expect this to happen.

"But, if that thing has a pulse, don't the doctors in Bianliang feel it?"

As soon as Lilian asked this sentence, Delilah beside her laughed.

Delilah smiled and poked Lilian's face, and said: "Lilian, have you forgotten that even you didn't realize that you were going to pursue the essence of the plague? Since you didn't realize it, those who are in How could anyone in the bureau realize what's going on?"

After saying that, Dai Lila looked at Zhong Ye, pursed her lips and smiled, "Mr. Zhong, do you still remember what I said before?"

Zhong Ye's brain started working immediately, and he quickly thought of a sentence: "Isn't it like a plague, but like a sacrifice?"

Dai Lila smiled and nodded, raised her hand and pointed, "Now, the entire Bianliang is probably an altar, and the residents in the city are the sacrifices put on the altar, they are 'fed' so fat , which means that the 'idols' enshrined on the altar need them to be fat."

After saying this, Zhong Ye understood.

If the entire Bianliang residents are sacrifices, then the things that enjoy these sacrifices may be what he just felt from the bodies of those soldiers...

"That thing...is it a kind of bug?" Lilian was horrified when she heard that, and she felt nauseous at the thought of bugs coming out of her body.

"I don't know." Zhong Ye shook his head, "I didn't dare to drive the stellar energy and spiritual energy to perceive that thing. That thing gave me a weird feeling, and my intuition told me that it's best not to touch it lightly."

"Your intuition?" Delilah narrowed her eyes.

She knew that Zhong Ye's perception ability was very powerful, and it was also powerful in all aspects, whether it was vision, hearing, induction, or even intuition, they were all extremely powerful.

Zhong Ye's intuition helped him find the answer to the question and save the day more than once. It is not a kind of metaphysics that you can believe or not.

Therefore, in this matter, there is no problem in trusting Zhong Ye's intuition.

Delilah thought for a moment, and just when she finished her thinking and opened her mouth to speak, a voice came from outside the stairs: "Hero! The city guard is welcome!"

Hearing this, Delilah closed her mouth.

Zhong Ye glanced at her strangely, without saying anything, walked to the stairs, and followed the footsteps of the soldiers leading the way.

Under the leadership of the soldiers, Zhong Ye and the others came to a mansion not far from the city wall. There was a plaque hanging above the open gate.

——City Guard Mansion!

The Huang Dynasty followed the Ming Dynasty in most of its systems, but there was a huge difference in one system.

That is, a "city guard" is set up in each prefecture city. On weekdays, these city guards are mainly responsible for city defense, but in wartime, the city guards will be transformed into generals on the spot, commanding the soldiers of the prefecture, and fighting against the enemy. fighting.

Bianliang is also a prefectural city, and there are naturally city guards.

The Chengshou Mansion is also the barracks of Bianliang, and the soldiers of Bianliang live here.

Zhong Ye and the others followed the soldiers leading the way down the street, and they could see from the street to the end of the street at a glance, because there was no one on the road. After entering the city guard's mansion, they discovered that the soldiers stationed on the city wall were already in milder condition. That part of the army - more soldiers can only stay in the barracks because of obesity.

Entering the city guard's mansion, Zhong Ye and the others saw many soldiers who were too fat to walk. These soldiers not only had difficulty walking, but also had difficulty taking care of themselves.

However, Zhong Ye had the feeling that they were not the most seriously ill patients in this city.

These soldiers are already obese to the point where they can't take care of themselves, and they need to eat if they want to become more obese, but it is obviously impossible for them to eat alone. Does this mean that they have been 'fat' successfully?

So, presumably something inside them has to start 'eating' the feast, too?
"My lord, the hero and his companions have arrived."

The soldiers leading the way knocked on the gate of the city guard's office. Zhong Ye looked at the office, narrowed his eyes slightly, and turned his head to exchange glances with Dai Lila.

A tired, almost sighing voice came from the door: "Come in..."

The soldiers leading the way pushed the door open for Zhong Ye and the others, and stood aside. He didn't let them unload their weapons, and let them into the city guard's office.

Facing the gate of the office is a huge Chinese character for 'righteousness'. The copybook is hung behind the city guard. Those who enter the room will first notice the word, and then the city guard sitting in front of it.

Sitting behind the desk, Bianliang Chengshou raised his heavy eyelids to look at Zhong Ye and the others, and sighed, "Several heroes, what are you doing here at Bianliang at this time? Is there anything important to do with you?" Will we discuss it?"

"We came here because of the plague in Bianliang, and that important event is naturally related to the plague."

Zhong Ye took a step forward and carefully sized the city guard's eyes.

Compared with those soldiers in the barracks, the city guard was not that fat. On the contrary, he looked very tired, his face drooped, his muscles were loose, and there were thick dark circles under his eyes.

Getting along with the soldiers day and night, the plague in Bianliang may be related to parasites. If the city guards are not infected with the plague, it is obviously impossible.

But the state of the city guard is different from those of the soldiers. If his exhaustion has nothing to do with work, does it mean...his condition has actually entered the next stage?
