Let me live [Quick Transmigration]

----

The key they picked up was probably accidentally lost by someone who came to check the state of the mermaid. After grinding off the rust on it, it opened the door of the archive room smoothly, just as the road to the underworld guessed.

The space inside the door is smaller than Lu You expected. The walls are full of cabinets of different styles. There are also cardboard boxes for moving on the floor. There is a thin layer of dust on the top of the cabinets and the boxes. The scene appears crowded and messy.Road to Hades picked a box of about the same height to shoot off the ashes, put Lu You on the box and asked him to sit, finally freeing his hands to search.

Although it is done exactly the same as the real world, this is still a game after all, and it will not let players look for clues in mountains and seas of data.Road to Hades checked cabinet doors, drawers and boxes one by one, most of which could not be opened, or the contents of the documents inside could not be viewed.In the end, they only got a few medical records, but found another soft leather book that looked like a diary under the cabinet.

Those cases are all handwritten, strictly speaking...they are more like private observation reports, using numbers instead of names to refer to the observed objects, accompanied by the observer's thoughts, inferences and guesses.From the long and rigid description of the research process, and the occasional mention of the antecedent, they learned what happened in this nursing home...

The first case was very thick, and belonged to the patient who, trapped in an immobile body, was found desperate for death.Dr. Anthony, who wrote the report, recorded in detail his analysis and guesses on the condition, as well as a series of reforms implemented afterwards - he persuaded the couple who originally wanted to spend the last time together quietly in their hometown, and let the husband accept it. "Although there may be some sequelae, but the success rate and hope of cure are high", he turned him into a breathing still life.

Dr. Anthony did prevent this critically ill patient from going to death, but obviously he himself was not satisfied with this form of "alive".Over the next few years, he conducted more tests and experiments under the guise of "follow-up treatments" to find out what was wrong.Later, he successfully improved the plan. If he performed the "surgery" that was actually made from a human body again, his body would not be deformed into a huge monster like a monster, but the ending still could not be changed: the body that was on the verge of collapse could be destroyed. Forcibly injecting vitality, reactivating the weakened soul and maintaining contact with the body, is something that the alchemy he masters cannot do.

Dr. Anthony did not choose to delve into the more advanced field of alchemy, but found another way: since alchemy cannot solve the problem of the soul, then try to use the power of the devil...

In fact, if enough sacrifices are made to the devil, it is also possible to directly replace it with a brand new body, but firstly, the sacrifice required is huge, and secondly, the body and the soul in it will become the possession of the devil , Dr. Anthony seems unwilling to accept such a result.

After many attempts and consuming a lot of victims, Dr. Anthony finally came up with the following treatment plan: For the body, he used alchemy to repair it regularly to keep it functioning well; for the soul, he transformed the method of demon sacrifice. Array—the power transformed from the flesh and soul of the sacrifice should have flowed into the abyss as a bargaining chip for dealing with the devil, but he directly extracted it for his own use.

Anthony took control of the entire nursing home for a few years, sent away those patients and employees who would be more troublesome if something happened, and the rest of them, except for Frieda, who became his assistant and complicit, became his experimental subjects.

The rooms on the third floor that Lu You and Road to the Underworld have been to are the "works" that he thinks it is necessary to keep - only the body has been changed, and he serves as a "control" to see what it will eventually evolve into Abyssal creatures whose hands and feet have been added by alchemy and whose brains have been modified; their souls collapsed after receiving excessive power, and after their bodies were shattered, they became monsters that could move independently like a swarm of bees...

As for the empty room with the magic circle drawn, the experimental subjects living in it were disposed of because they tried to escape.In several records, this incident should be the latest in time, although judging from the state of that room, it was already nearly a year ago.When describing, Dr. Anthony's previously calm style changed, showing anger and anxiety, and his handwriting became scribbled.

Before seeing this case, Lu Youzheng felt a little puzzled: the "Dr. Anthony" shown in the content and recording methods of other cases is clearly a crazy person but a rigorous person.But the two roars he heard during Eric's visit, and the several behaviors mentioned in Eric's words, could only remind him of an extremely emotional, rough and violent image.

It seems that during the period when the experimental subject escaped, something else should have happened, which caused Dr. Anthony's personality to undergo a huge change.In the old diary, they found the answer to this question, including the original reason that led Dr. Anthony to start those illegal experiments in an attempt to find a perfect "cure".

Before opening it, Lu You thought the diary belonged to Dr. Anthony.In fact, its owner is Eric.

When he first started recording, little Eric was only seven years old, and his handwriting was still a little crooked, and his style of writing was not as lively as a child of this age, but dull due to his natural personality.In that year, Vera... Eric's mother, Dr. Anthony's wife, suffered from a rare and incurable disease.

Nails and hair fell off, her body was swollen and deformed, her internal organs were gradually necrotic, and her brain function was impaired... In just a few weeks after the illness, the originally beautiful and gentle woman became swollen, deformed, and ugly.Antony, himself a physician, was powerless against the disease, and if he had thereby diminished his love for his wife, or yielded to his fate, death would soon have delivered them both.

Anthony refused to give up easily.The condition was urgent, and without any certainty, he transformed his wife's body... He could be said to have succeeded, because his wife did survive because of this; it could also be said to have failed, because even he himself was not sure What was it that survived.

After this wrong step, Anthony did not turn back in time, but went further and further on the twisted road.Over the years, while conducting various experiments on other patients to accumulate experience, he continued to "treat" his wife.His efforts have achieved gratifying results. Vera's physical condition has improved, and her long-time chaotic consciousness has also begun to regain consciousness... Just when Anthony thought he would regain the happiness of the love between the two before, he finally woke up. Enough to realize what had happened to herself and what her husband had done to others to save her, the poor woman had a nervous breakdown.

The incomprehension of the loved one shatters Anthony's fantasy.Since then, his personality has become irritable, he has become addicted to alcoholism, and his inner madness has gradually begun to manifest in more cruel and violent forms, such as the meaningless massacre of failed experimental subjects, and the execution of Eric Violent verbal and behavioral abuse|abuse of...

Another thing about Eric is that although Anthony relied more on the power of alchemy and magic circles, he did not completely abandon traditional medicine.As Vera's only blood relative, Eric has been providing his mother with blood, bone marrow, and even some organs over the years.

And the female assistant Frieda, just as Lu You guessed before, stayed because of her admiration for the doctor, but the child in her belly did not belong to her, but was artificially created for the same purpose , Eric's "brother".

Lu You and Road to Hades finished reading the diary together, and felt that the plot setting of this copy of the game had become abnormal to the point that he was a little hard to digest, especially the last part... I thought of the first time I heard Frida pass by through the door , the vague raving of "I am happy", while he was unbelievable... he felt more disgusted and entangled than when he saw her image.

As for what happened to the mermaid he possessed now, Eric didn't mention it in his diary.His last diary entry was about his father suspecting him of hiding things and searching his room... After that, he threw the diary under the cabinet in the filing room and never wrote a word again.

Road to Hades watched the whole process without changing his face, and after reading it, he pondered for a moment. "It's kind of strange..." he said, "according to Eric's reaction when he heard the name 'Jude', he definitely knew Jude, maybe he was very familiar. But in his diary, he never mentioned I've been to that person..."

He flipped through the diary that had lasted for many years and was not well preserved, the corners had become tattered, and many pages were still stained with unknown stains, and he found two pages with torn pages. Traces of falling.The parts before, after and between the two places seem to be written wrong and the words that have been smeared out are denser than other parts of the diary. When you lift it up to the light and look at it, you can barely see some fragmented sentences.

Garden... Jude... Get out of here... Mistake... Promise... There's no way...Last value...

In a diary that only Eric himself could see, some of these contents that may be related to Jude have been carefully obliterated, and some have been torn off the entire page. It seems that in this way, the memory can be The traces left in the past are also erased together.

After reading these materials and searching the entire archive room again, after confirming that there was no missing information, Lu You, who was sitting on the box until his tail was about to stiffen, was picked up again by the road to the underworld, and returned to the third floor by the same way .The door of Room 304 on the opposite side of the stairs was open, and Pig Iron Boiled Water and Ke Menghui, who had not been seen for a while, were waiting in the room.They had already dealt with the experimental subject that was originally in the room, and there was a scorched black thin skeleton lying against the wall.

"We saw that the door was demolished, so we guessed that you must have gone downstairs..." Ke Meng replied, "Did you find anything?"

"Some things about background setting." Road to Hades said, handing him the case and diary in his hand, "What about you?"

Ke Menghui took the things, "We went to the fourth floor, there is a library above, we met Frida there..." He said, "Eric guessed wrong, that woman didn't let the synthetic beast come Dealing with us. She doesn't seem... to really care about us intruders."

Paper materials can be circulated, but conversations can only be relayed.The cast iron boiled water seemed sluggish for some reason, and he took the diary listlessly to read, and then Ke Menghui briefly talked about the content of their communication with Frieda upstairs.

There is no light on the fourth floor, which is not an obstacle for Kemeng who can illuminate with spiritual arrows.After they went upstairs, they dealt with some synthetic beast minions in the corridor, and entered the only room where the door could be opened—that is, the library where Frieda was.Frieda was sitting on the sofa next to the bookshelf, stroking her belly and humming to her unborn child in a good mood.

Compared with the previous meeting downstairs, although her attitude this time was still not friendly, she did not try to attack or threaten again.After the pig iron boiled water and said "Eric was going to stall for time", she laughed at Eric in the air, veiled that she hadn't actually done anything, and then revealed some other things information……

"There is a magic circle on the first and third floors of the nursing home." Ke Menghui said, "The magic circle on the first floor is used to receive sacrifices and transmit power to the magic circle on the third floor. The space distortion at the door of the room and the room Those things in it are not only a means of protection, but also have something to do with the power of the magic circle itself... Sorry, Xiaotie and I didn't understand this part, in short, it is a very difficult thing to destroy."

He scratched his cheek in embarrassment, and continued: "She also mentioned Jude... What she means is that Jude is indeed dead and has been sacrificed. If we go now to remove the ground covered by the magic circle Dig it open, maybe you can find bones that haven't been 'digested' yet... Didn't Eric say she was lying? I told her, and she laughed wildly... Said Eric was guilty Liar."

Eric didn't tell the truth. Even if Lu You hadn't heard him mention "Jude" during his visit after Monster left, you could tell from his expression at that time.However, guilt...?

He looked up at Road to Hades, and after two seconds, Road to Hades lowered his head and looked back. It took another two seconds to guess the doubts in his mind, and shook his head at him.Ke Menghui, who was watching this scene, raised his hand to cover his eyes. "Underworld, the way you interact with the NPC is really..." he said, "Please consider my mood as a bystander, do you still remember that this NPC looks a lot like my brother..."

Road to Hades paused suspiciously, then turned his gaze away as if nothing had happened.But Lu You thought of a problem and secretly yelled "Oops."

If Kemenghui...Yan Chuan's younger brother, he should be named Yan Chen, he is indeed the target of his investment this time... Or in other words, as long as the target is not "replaced" like in the second world, but kept If he had given his own name, then...after he finds a way to solve the current situation of his soul drifting outside and returns to his body, how will he explain that he said his name is "Lu You" to Road to Hades?

...It's all because the atmosphere at that time was too suitable for confession, and he didn't know what the target was called... If he had realized it earlier, he should have said that he had no name, and when we met in the future, he could pretend to have amnesia at that time...

However, lying in front of this guy...seems like the risk is high...

After realizing that no matter what he did, he seemed to be digging a hole for himself, but Lu You became calm again.He even began to conceive with a mischievous mentality: If he simply told his identity as a "voter" and the encounters in each world... I don't know how this person will react?

While his thoughts were running wild, Pig Iron Boiled Water and Ke Menghui had finished reading the materials they brought back from the archives, and then they both showed indescribable expressions. "I don't quite understand..." The eyes of the pig iron boiling water were all empty, "What is Frieda thinking? Wouldn't she be... unwilling?"

"She will." Road to Hades said, "Hasn't she already shown it?"

Under the gaze of the three puzzled eyes, he added helplessly: "Let us stay in the nursing home to investigate, tell us about the situation of the magic circle, and say that Jude's bones are buried under the magic circle...she wants to let us Let's go destroy the magic circle."

The pig iron boiled the water and said "ah", "She wants that Vera...?" After reading the diary, he already knew the specific function of the magic circle on the third floor.After saying this, his expression twisted again, Ke Menghui coughed lightly, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Then we..." he said, "continue to look at other rooms? Anyway, we can only move in and out, not in the corridor... If we come a few more times, we should meet Vera or the doctor. That's it... ...What should I do if I encounter them? Kill them?"

"I've already figured out a way." Road to Hades said unexpectedly, "However, it's about Eric's parents, it's best to talk to him first... There is also a guess about Jude, I also want to Confirm with him." He was originally standing sideways to the door, but after saying this, he turned around slightly and looked at the stairs on the opposite side of the corridor.When the eyes of the rest of the people followed, they also heard the slightly hurried footsteps coming up the stairs.
