Mysteries: Arcana Wars

Leonard and Klein sat quietly in the intensive care unit, looking at Olga Axas on the bed in silence.

Klein struggled hard and managed to pull out enough gray mist to make a thin blanket. The two of them wrapped Olga up and ran to the Earth Church Hospital.

So the two men, one holding the woman and the other spraying special disinfectant beside her, ran all the way to the Earth Church Hospital.

On the way, Leonard saw Klein's pale face and suggested using the black match to purify the pollution on Olga's body, but Klein refused. It seemed that Klein didn't trust the box of matches in his hand.

Klein didn't want to talk about what he had just seen in the parade and under the big tree, so Leonard didn't ask. He guessed that Klein might have seen Olga's figure walking on this street and the impact of being buried under the big tree through some spiritual intuition or divination.

As for what Klein meant by "Roselwen" at that time, Leonard didn't even bother to ask.

Leonard remembered that Roselle’s text and a large amount of fragmented old knowledge were gifts from Sequential Castle when it selected Klein. He was just a little worried. According to the plan, Klein should have completely returned to the state of the Sequence Two Utopia period, but now did he still have the madness of the Sixth Epoch?

"The test report is out."

Emlyn, wearing a white coat, walked into the ward and calmly checked the monitoring equipment in the ward.

As the saying goes, "You can guard against any enemy, but you can't guard against a thief in your own home." Now that Emlyn has been suddenly appointed acting dean, the three members of the Tarot Club can act more freely in the hospital. Emlyn can personally give the green light to these things, but that doesn't mean he can break hospital regulations and change the hospital's written and digital records at will.

Dean Sinedu, who loves medical treatment, just used this as an excuse to completely pass the big trouble to Emlyn, which does not mean that he will retire from being a doctor. Professor Andrea, who represented the church in the crossfire, although he was working at the university, would find excuses such as massage therapy to visit the hospital every day. Outside the hospital, there were teams of mechanical hearts on duty, while scouting for suspicious people outside the hospital, they also silently watched the inside of the hospital.

Too many eyes were staring at Emlyn.

"Sure enough, in the end, I have to use this method to recover the [Eternal Wick]..."

Emlyn sighed and handed the test report to Leonard and Klein while muttering softly.

Olga Aksas lay motionless on the bed, her body full of tubes and tubes, the life-support machine was still running in vain, the sound of the monitor was very shrill. White gauze coated with medicine covered her skin.

"Oujia is still alive, but she can only be described as 'alive'.

"In fact, her body was completely dead medically. But she ate the [Eternal Wick] before she died, so the two forces of life and death fought against each other in her body, and finally became what she is now.

"She should have died, but she still retained a trace of 'aliveness'. Her body was still forcibly working, but it was unable to stop the disease from worsening and the tissue from dying. So the pus continued to flow, the blood continued to bleed, and the blood in the blood vessels could not flow forward when it reached the rotten holes, so it all leaked out. The remaining nerves would do their best to transmit the pain to the atrophied brain...

"Even his soul and consciousness are almost gone. He only retains a minimum of soul and consciousness because of the need to 'stay alive'. He is tortured by this broken body day and night."

As he spoke, Emlyn placed two bags beside Olga's bed. One bag contained Olga's disinfected clothes, and the other contained jewelry taken from her, including a diamond necklace, ruby ​​earrings, and an obsidian ring. They were all cleaned and put into separate bags, and then put into a large bag.

"As for the pollution on her body, it has been dealt with almost completely. But I don't know if there is still some high-level, latent pollution."

Emlyn frowned.

"I have dealt with the Motian Cult before, and some of their secret knowledge has been sealed... In short, the pollution they bring is easy to clean up, but difficult to eradicate. We can easily treat patients to normal levels, but it is not so easy to completely eliminate the hidden dangers... It may take a long time..."

"Can you still take out the [Eternal Wick] now? What will happen if you take it out?" Klein asked.

"Yes, but if it is taken out, Olga will die immediately... If you need her testimony and clues, give me some time, I can further deal with her contamination and restore her to a level where she can barely communicate or perform dream, divination, spiritualism and other occult rituals."

"...Thank you for your hard work." Leonard thanked Emlyn.

"fine."

Emlyn waved his hand, scratching his chin to study Olga's skin.

"From the traces of treatment on her body...she should have received a very good treatment recently, which at least delayed the progression of her condition by several days..."

"It was the Quiet Starlight Hospital," Leonard recalled. "After David stole the sheriff's money and defected from the police station, he sent Olga to the Quiet Starlight Hospital for treatment for a while, but it seemed that he ran out of money, so he was sent out before the treatment was completed."

"Quiet Starlight Hospital? Is it the new hospital opened by the Ishdar Group?" Emlyn walked around the bed curiously. "I only heard that the hospital's limb reattachment technology is excellent. I didn't expect that their methods of dealing with immune diseases are also quite good."

"Uh... I'm not too sure about that. I only know that if someone in our police station has a broken limb, we can get a discount if we go over to take care of it. If they go to get a prosthetic, there will be a bigger discount..."

"Tsk... this damn offer is really unlucky... But I haven't heard much about their prosthetic technology before. It's not very famous."

"…Maybe it's just to expand the business…"

"Are they here to expand their business, or are they here to practice with actual experiments? I think they are more like trying to get a piece of the pie in Backlund... Feynapotters who believe in the Goddess of Night... If they say they are here to make a pilgrimage to Loen, I don't believe a word of it. If they want to make a pilgrimage, why don't they open a hospital or a hotel in Winter County? Why do they have to squeeze in in Backlund?"

Emlyn, who knew the true face of the Feynetport chaebol, sneered at the group.

"I think these Feynapot guys are just too ambitious. They have enjoyed robbing money in their own country so much that they think Backlund is the same... Ha, these people will fall sooner or later and be eaten up by Backlund without leaving anything behind..."

Backlund... is indeed a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones...

No matter if you are an illegal resident living in the dungeon or an employee with a stable salary, even if you are a wealthy person, when Backlund opens his mouth, no one will be spared.

This city is not picky about what it eats...

Klein sighed in his heart.

But then again, Emlyn, when you cursed others just now, didn't you also curse yourself... Don't forget that in the eyes of the people of Loen, you are now considered half a Feynet...

"But I still have one thing that I'm a little suspicious about..." Leonard pondered for a moment, "Why did Nelson just seal her up and bury her underground?"

Klein also discovered this problem. If David was a puppet, Nelson was the mastermind, and Olga was a victim, then as a "devil" at least a demigod, even if Olga ate the [Eternal Wick], he still had many ways to completely wipe out Olga, such as using the filthy cursed poison flames to grind Olga to ashes and destroy his soul.

Why do you have to hide it?

"Perhaps... Nelson wants to prepare a [replacement]. If David on hand loses his purpose, he can still use Olga to complete the plan."

Recalling the pursuit during this period, Leonard felt that things were not that simple.

"David should not just be a puppet... I even suspect that he is a sacrifice, a sacrifice that needs to be painful and incomplete enough...

"Similarly, Olga, who cannot die, also suffers under the soil due to the curse and disease, and his body is broken... In comparison, David is Nelson's first choice, and Olga, who has lost the ability to move independently, has not only become the cause of pain, but also a substitute for suffering..."

"Oh, you have a good plan." Emlyn snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "This is really making the best use of everything!"

So what exactly is Nelson going to do?

The three of them still didn't have much idea about it. They still couldn't figure out the time, place, and content... They just knew that Nelson was preparing a grand ceremony, and it would take place in these few days.

"Anyway, I'll trouble Emlyn to stay here for the time being, but everything should be arranged in secrecy."

After a brief thought, Leonard came up with some solutions.

"Although Nelson's previous criminal record was very arrogant, he was very cautious when planning and implementing the crime. If Olga is a [substitute] in his eyes, and we have destroyed his lair this time, whether he can use Olga or not, he will definitely come to snatch Olga and find ways to bring her to the ceremony.

"Using this, we can ambush Nelson at the Earth Hospital in advance..."

The other two agreed and briefly settled on a course of action.
