[Unlimited Stream] Book of Horror

After Chu Yangbing finished speaking, the old man suddenly became agitated: "Of course it was brought by the witch. If it wasn't for the witch, why would everyone who contracted the disease die without a doubt? Why would their whole body turn black? Why would there be 10,000+ people in just half a year die?"

In a city, two-thirds of the population died from a plague, and 10,000+ people died one after another in just six months. Such a thing is tantamount to annihilation for this city.Human beings can't do anything about it, and they will attribute the reason to supernatural forces, and the so-called witches and demons have become the best targets for blame.

Lu Feichen asked again: "What about the method of infection? Doesn't anyone know yet?"

"It's the witch!" The old man said firmly: "The witch spreads the plague, and the plague keeps spreading!"

"You keep asking these questions, are you questioning the archbishop?"

The old man didn't want to talk to them any more, and kicked them out after a few words.

Although it was only a brief contact, they could be considered to have obtained basic information about the plague.

"The transmission method of the plague is still unclear." Lu Feishen's tone was a bit heavy. This so-called plague is highly contagious and has a high fatality rate. They are also living people and do not have the privilege of being immune to all diseases. I can only wait to die.

"There are only a few types of transmission methods. This kind of plague can cause such a large-scale infection, and it is most likely to be transmitted by air or water." Lilith said: "Combined with the so-called river blocked by corpses, I tend to spread it through water." spread."

Jiang Zhirou thought for a while and said, "I don't think it's that simple. Both the Holy See and the residents insist that the plague is related to witches. After all, this is not reality. We also need to consider that witches really spread it through curses and other channels." possible."

The four of them crossed the street and were about to find the river that was mentioned in the hint as 'the witch's soup dish'.It was not difficult to find the river. The reminder said that the corpses blocked the river, so they stalked behind the corpse collectors in black robes and walked all the way out of the city.

Sure enough, there is a big river outside the city. Since the city has developed commerce and trade, water transportation must also be relatively developed. It is normal to build along the river.

The corpse collector should go out through the side gate of the city and throw the corpse out of the city.

The side gates of the city are guarded by armored knights to ensure that no one but the corpse collectors can escape from the city.

The four of Chu Yangbing stood in the shadow of the stone house and watched the corpse collector pull the corpse out of the city and throw it away. Chu Yangbing and Lu Feishen looked at each other, and Lu Feishen said to Lilith and Jiang Zhirou: "You stay here Here, pay attention to concealment, Yang Bing and I will go and have a look."

"Be careful." Lilith didn't say much, and pulled Jiang Zhirou to hide around the corner of the stone house.

Chu Yangbing and Lu Fei huddled behind the corpse collector. When the corpse collector passed by the end of the alley, they suddenly shot and knocked two of them unconscious.

Lu Feishen took off the black robe from the corpse collector cleanly, and carefully checked Chu Yangbing's body to make sure that no skin was exposed before putting the black robe on him.

Chu Yangbing also wanted to help, but was stopped by Lu Feishen, he said: "You are prone to illness, the most important thing is to protect yourself."

Lu Feishen's words also reminded Chu Yangbing of the first time he got into the same story with Lu Feishen, because of the excessive awakening at night and the rush of evil spirits, he developed a high fever, and Lu Feishen took care of him at that time.

Lu Feishen didn't say clearly, Chu Yangbing also knew that Lu Feishen was protecting him.

Living in a city shrouded in plague, there are risks in contact, eating and drinking, and even breathing. Lu Feishen is obviously trying to minimize the risks Chu Yangbing takes.

Lu Feichen also quickly put on the black robe. He also carefully checked the two corpse collectors who had fainted, and found that the end of one of the corpse collector's fingers had started to turn black.

"Let's go." Lu Fei stood up and said, "Try not to touch them."

The two pulled up the cart, walked out of the side city gate in a low-key manner, and came to the big river outside the city.

As soon as he left the city gate, Chu Yangbing was shocked by the scene outside the city.

Corpses, densely packed corpses, the number is unimaginable.

Chu Yangbing was still thinking before, since the plague is constantly spreading, why not bury the corpses properly, do a good job of epidemic prevention, or pile the corpses next to the water source, so that the epidemic will spread further.

He didn't understand why until he actually witnessed the hellish horror.

Because there are too many corpses, too many to be buried at all. 10,000+ corpses, what kind of concept is this? If the people who dispose of the corpses pay attention to burying them at the beginning, later on, truckloads of corpses are dumped on the ground, and fewer and fewer people collect corpses. There are more people than living people. At this point, who will bury the corpse.

The corpses piled up more and more, layer upon layer, and some corpses were naturally squeezed into the river. There were countless rotting corpses floating on the not-so-wide river.The rotten smell soared into the sky, surrounded by mosquitoes and flies, and there were various carrion-eating birds hovering in the sky, falling to the ground for a feast from time to time.

The river water has long been corrupted, and the land is barren.

At the same time, corpse collectors kept coming to dump new corpses.

"Meow!"

Suddenly, a shrill meow pierced Chu Yangbing's ear.

He followed the sound, and saw a skinny black cat with rolled skin and one eye blind, watching them, the corpse collectors, vigilantly with one miserable green eye.

When the cat saw Chu Yangbing looking over, it let out a creepy cry, and then deftly shuttled back and forth between the corpses, like a black shadow, and disappeared in an instant.

Chu Yangbing lowered his voice and said to Lu Feishen: "Cat, a black cat ran past just now."

Lu Feishen quickly looked around, and said in a low voice: "If you see it, you will see it, don't say it."

Chu Yangbing nodded, and together with Lu Feishen dumped the corpse on the cart to the ground, they pulled the cart back.

At this time, a strange man appeared beside the pile of corpses. He was also wearing a black robe, but with a beak-shaped mask on his face, and holding a pointed cane, he was picking among various corpses.

It was only when the tip of the cane touched the newly arrived corpses that Chu Yangbing realized that some of them were already utterly dead, but some were still alive.These people who were not dead but were also pulled outside the city were severely blackened, and they were obviously infected by the plague.

Most of these people died soon, and in order not to spread the infection, they were dragged out of the city by the body collectors as corpses to wait to die.

The man wearing the bird's beak mask found two or three people who were still alive among the corpses. He turned his head and saw Chu Yangbing and Lu Feishen pulling the empty cart, and waved to them.

That means... let them pass?

Chu Yangbing and Lu Feichen glanced at each other, and walked to the side of the person wearing the beak mask.

The man said, "Can you help me send these people to my residence?"

"Who are you..." Lu Feichen asked.

"Me? You don't know me?" The man wearing the beak mask said: "I, I am a doctor, I am looking for a cure for the plague, these are my patients, I want to cure them, so please Send them to my residence."

doctor?

Lu Fei's eyes darkened. He was wearing a bird's beak mask, white gloves, and a cane. This was indeed the common attire of a bird's beak doctor.The so-called bird beak doctor also originated from the rampant black death. The beak on the face has fillings to filter the air. The fully armed clothes are used to isolate the disease, and the cane is used to contact the patient...

Lu Feishen and Chu Yangbing didn't find the so-called witch when they went to this river, and the strangest thing by this river was this bird beak doctor.

That being the case, they might as well go and have a look.

"Okay, but can you lead the way?" Lu Feichen asked.

"No problem." Dr. Bird's Beak said, "Thank you for your help. If you are also infected by the plague, it will be my honor to treat you. Of course, I don't want you to be infected."

Lu Feishen and Chu Yangbing bent down to lift the few survivors onto the cart, and while following Dr. Niaozui back, Lu Feishen tried to talk to him.

"Doctor, do you also think that the witches brought the plague? Only by burning the witches can the plague be ended?"

Dr. Bird's Beak said: "I don't care where the plague comes from. In fact, the world is full of plagues. The only disease in the world is plague. And I will heal these people who have succumbed to the plague. Yes, I can, I'm close."

"So how will you heal these people?" Lu Feishen asked tentatively, "Can we visit?"

"What's wrong?" Dr. Bird's Beak chuckled, and said, "After all, you may also become my patients."

Chu Yangbing was full of vigilance against this weird bird-beaked doctor, his actions were a bit weird, and his figure was completely covered by the baggy clothes.But judging from his appearance, he should be nearly two meters tall.His voice is very strange, with a strange magnetic indiscriminate gender, with a low voice and a subtle hum when he speaks.

After they passed through the side city gate and returned to the city, Chu Yangbing and Lu Feishen turned their heads and saw Lilith hiding in the shadows. Lu Feishen gestured to Lilith to signal them to follow.

On the way Chu Yangbing and the others followed Dr. Niaozui to his residence, Chu Yangbing found that Dr. Niaozui was hiding from the men in white clothes sent by the Holy See to sprinkle the holy water.It seems that the relationship between the beak doctor and the Holy See is somewhat delicate.

Doctor Niaozui's residence is also a stone house, and the outside of the stone house is painted with red death characters.

Chu Yangbing paused when he saw that word, Doctor Niaozui seemed to see their concerns, and explained to them: "Don't worry, this is my laboratory. It's neat, clean, and hygienic...but, you know, I need to be left alone."

Doctor Niaozui walked in and said to Chu Yangbing and the others: "Please help me put the patient on the bed, I'm going to start the treatment."

Lu Feichen put the man on the bed, and saw Dr. Bird's Beak take out a knife from the side, walk up to the blackened man on the bed, and create several precise scars on his body.

The reason why it is said to be precise is that the place where Dr. Bird's Beak cut is the main vein, and the wound is neither deep nor shallow, just enough to allow blood to flow out at a relatively uniform speed.

Ah, I really like the epidemic doctor. The bird beak doctor mentioned here has a lot of magic elements of mine, so it is not marked as the epidemic doctor.
