Chapter 196 195. No Worldly Desires.jpg (4000)

to the end.

Su Dai did not ask An Le to compensate for the damage to the Yishi Armor.

Moreover, this level of damage is not too serious and can be repaired.

An Le also made another request logically.

"Do you have any ancient books that record history or some forbidden knowledge?"

Hearing this request, Su Dai's expression became more and more strange.

Generally speaking, how can any normal person actively pursue those dusty history and taboo knowledge?

The more you know, the easier it is to fall into weird distortions and associate with madness.

"Actually, apart from being a doctor, I'm still an archaeologist, and I'm very interested in the history of your stone clan."

An Le also came up with the speech he had prepared long ago.

"This request shouldn't be too much, right?"

By this time, Su Dai finally understood that An Le was really different from those men who came to the Stone Clan to seek love (meow) encounters.

simply put.

No worldly desires.jpg

Compared with these stone tribe women who are free to pick and choose with different styles, are cold knowledge and strange stone armor more attractive?

Even, Su Dai felt that if she asked An Le such a question, she would get a surprised reply from the other party.

"Where did you get the confidence to think that your charm is greater than taboo knowledge?"

Thinking of this, Su Dai couldn't help feeling frustrated.

But he still nodded and said: "We can satisfy your request, and you can read the ancient books of the Stone Clan."

After a brief hesitation, Su Dai said again.

"One more thing, I want to ask the doctor for your help."

An Le: "Huh?"

Su Dai said seriously: "Please follow me."

*****

An Le followed Su Dai all the way to the center of the stone clan chariot.

Compared with the outer fortresses used for combat, the buildings in the center of the stone tribe settlement are more responsible for production and storage functions.

But without exception, the houses here are all made of materials mixed with foreign stones.

Perhaps it was because of the action of the foreign stone trying to take root in his body just now, when An Le looked at these houses containing the foreign stone, he always felt a slight sense of disgust.

As if they carried something dirty that would contaminate his body.

Along the way, An Le and Su Dai undoubtedly became the focus of attention of the stone women, and their regretful sighs could be heard from time to time.

However, due to Su Dai's majesty, no one dared to compete with her for a man.

There was only Shi Yi on the side, staring at her mother resentfully.

When approaching the destination, the surrounding was unexpectedly deserted, only the sound of black smoke coming out of the chimney.

An Le took a closer look, and found that there was no one from the Stone tribe on this strange stone car.

It seems... this is the forbidden area of the Stone Clan people!

Even Shi Yi was sent away by Su Dai.

An Le sniffed out that there was a smell that he didn't like very much on this strange stone car.

"Patriarch Su, is this place?"

When he turned around, he was surprised to find that Su Dai's strange stone battle armor had covered her whole body, and she was in a fighting posture, very nervous and alert.

Su Dai was not so nervous when facing the previous swarm of different stone insects.

Su Dai's voice came out through the visor, with a unique texture.

"Doctor, here are some...special patients."

"Could you please help me and see if I can cure them?"

An Le had a strange expression, knowing that Su Dai had misunderstood.

He didn't explain that he was a psychiatrist immediately, and it's normal to be misunderstood.

After thinking for a while, An Le said, "Beforehand, I am actually a psychiatrist, and physical diseases do not belong to the scope of my treatment."

"However, let's just take a look, there is still no problem."

"Ah...so that's how it is."

Su Dai's tone was a little awkward.

"Then please."

Under normal circumstances, Su Dai would definitely not be so hasty, and let him see a doctor when she saw one.

However, things had deteriorated to the point where she was in a hurry to go to the doctor.

In addition, An Le's demonstrated strength, as well as the miracle that drove the different stone armor before, made Su Dai make such a decision.

I didn't expect to make such an oolong.

Under the visor, Su Dai's expression was gloomy, and deep worries continued to settle in her heart.

Since it's just a psychiatrist, how can he treat that weird disease?

From Su Dai's point of view, An Le just wanted to ease her embarrassment, so she was willing to go in and take a look.

Even without any hope, Su Dai still opened a small door for An Le to allow one person to enter and exit.

The two stepped into it together.

As soon as she entered the room, An Le frowned.

The room is very dark, only the faint fluorescence emitted by the different stones, which is a bit gloomy and depressing.

A bad smell entered his nostrils.

'The smell of rotting corpses, the smell of body that hasn't been bathed for a long time, and... moldy ore? '

The house has not passed the wind for a long time.

This is unusual.

Apart from being more enthusiastic and open, the Shi people have almost the same living habits as modern people. They knew the importance of personal hygiene early on, and there are special bathrooms in the fortress.

And the abnormality in this house can only show that they deliberately did not have ventilation to isolate this place from the outside world.

Reminiscent of Su Dai's body-wrapped airtight posture in battle armor...

An Le simply asked directly.

"Did they have an infectious disease?"

Su Dai: "Yes."

"But please don't worry, this infectious disease is only spread among Shi people, and there has never been an example of an outsider getting sick."

But she couldn't help thinking of the miracle of An Le driving the different stone armor just now, and asked a little cautiously.

"Doctor, may I ask, are there any stone tribe members in your parents or ancestors?"

This is to regard An Le as a descendant of the wandering stone tribe.

An Le: "...No."

"What are the symptoms of this disease?" he asked rhetorically.

Su Dai's tone was slightly low: "You will understand when you see it."

Through the dark and oppressive corridor, An Le walked into the nearest room.

The rancid smell intensified again.

A pale face suddenly appeared in front of An Le.

There are rough wrinkles all over his face, like ravines, and on the ravines, there are large silver-gray plaques inlaid, showing the texture of stone.

At least half of the face, all covered in plaque.

His eyes were filled with off-white, like congealed lime.

Cloudy and stiff.

Those are not like the eyes that a living person should have, but the eyeballs of a manufactured puppet.

A crack stretched across the silver-gray plaque, as if it was about to tear the plaque and his face apart.

This is a stone clan male, about thirty or forty years old.

And the presence of those plaques made him look at least twenty years older.

His sudden appearance naturally did not scare An Le, but Su Dai's delicate body trembled.

"elder brother?!"

Su Dai asked cautiously: "Are you... how are you?"

"Ah……"

The man sneered stiffly, his eyes rolled with great difficulty, and his eyes fell on Su Dai's face.

"This kind of... people are not people... ghosts are not ghosts..."

"Can you still... use 'good'... to describe it?"

The man's words were very slow, and every syllable spit out from his throat seemed to be mixed with thick phlegm, and it seemed to be struggling to break free from a swamp.

However, the man obviously still had reason, he looked at An Le and asked.

"he is?"

"He is the doctor I invited, maybe he can..."

Su Dai turned her head and introduced to An Le: "This is my biological brother, Su Li."

"Heh...hahahaha!"

Su Li sneered at first, and then quickly turned into a slightly maniacal laugh.

His facial features were distorted together with those plaques, as if the plaques had become part of the skin, making this smile even more terrifying.

"Doctor? Hehe, what can a doctor do?"

"My stupid sister, you won't understand!"

"Curse! This is a curse! A curse that belongs only to our stone tribe!"

Su Li's body suddenly twitched, the joints twisted stiffly, the muscles and skin seemed to have their own thoughts, wriggling in an absurd and terrifying way.

It seems... some kind of monster is about to burst out of his body.

At the same time, Su Li turned his head to look at the wall next to him, and stretched out his hand hard, trying to grab something.

However, his hands only grasped the air in vain.

"I see Him! He's... coming! He's coming!"

Su Li looked ferocious, and roared like crazy.

This roar is no longer like the sound that any living creature can make.

But both An Le and Su Dai could easily understand the meaning of the roar.

"We can't escape... we can't escape..."

After saying this, Su Li let out a low sob, fell to the ground, and passed out.

Tears mixed with saliva trickled down his face.

Su Dai only felt a strong chill seep into her body, even if she was wearing a different stone armor, she couldn't stop it at all.

Extreme madness and pessimism grew in her heart.

But Su Dai turned her head and saw that An Le's expression was the same as before, as if she hadn't been affected at all.

This made her calm down quickly.

After all, Su Dai is also the head of the Stone Clan, and her psychological quality is not bad, but her brother's crazy behavior has brought too much impact on her.

"It seems that apart from his physical illness, he also has quite a few psychological problems."

An Le still had a gentle smile.

Professional counterpart, belongs to yes.

An Le asked, "How long has he been in this situation?"

Under the influence of An Le's calm tone, Su Dai seemed to have found the backbone, and replied.

"About two months ago, my elder brother suffered from heterolithiasis."

"Since then, his body surface has continued to grow plaques like foreign stones, not just on his face, but all over his body."

"His personality also began to become irritable and irritable, and he was completely different from before."

An Le bent down and directly lifted Su Li's clothes.

As Su Dai said, except for the spots on his face, every part of his body has a silver-gray stone texture.

It's not so much that they grow on the skin, it's more like the skin is infected with this substance.

An Le tapped lightly with her fingers.

The plaque does not have the elasticity and softness that human skin should have, but is very hard, similar to the foreign stone material used to build this house.

"I'm afraid, this grouper...doesn't just grow on the surface of the body?"

An Le sighed faintly.

He had no doubt that if he dissected Su Li in front of him, there would be large and small foreign stones distributed in the blood vessels, muscles, and organs within his body.

Even in the brain, there may be alienated tissues.

You can imagine how painful it was.

Su Li was driven crazy because of this, and it was reasonable.

At this moment, An Le noticed something.

"Do you know it's called Yishi disease?"

"Is this your name, or has it been there before?"

Su Dai was silent for a while, but she didn't hide anything.

"This is the name I found in ancient books."

"A long time ago, the Stone Clan had such a disease."

An Le asked strangely: "If you say that, then there should be a cure in the ancient books, right?"

"No."

Su Dai shook her head seriously: "There is no cure for foreign stone disease in ancient books."

She said helplessly and sadly.

"The ancestors, just adopted the cruelest and most direct means..."

"Put all patients with heterolithiasis... to death!"

"At present, there are already 43 people who are confined here and suffer from isolithiasis."

After hearing this, Anle frowned.

"Patriarch Su, I can try to treat you, but please stay away."

"By the way, help me get the relevant ancient books, which may contain valuable clues."

Su Dai's beautiful eyes under the visor shone slightly, and she nodded in response.

"yes!"

Even if it is a ten thousandth hope, she is not willing to give up.

Wait until Su Dai leaves.

The tentacle pierced Su Li's skull brutally without mercy.

Judging from Su Li's behavior just now, his spirit has been polluted to some extent.

And the best way to deal with pollution is the absorption of tentacles.

[Filthy sanity +28! 】

A reminder flashed on the panel.

But the feeling from the end of the tentacles was not very comfortable.

If you compare the usual extraction of dirty sanity to drinking a cup of pearl milk tea, dirty sanity is like the pearl inside, bringing small surprises with different tastes.

Then absorbing Su Li's filth is like a cup of extremely bitter herbal tea, with a few dregs of the bitter medicine from time to time, it's not bad if you don't spit it out on the spot.

Even the tentacles rubbed An Le's cheeks aggrievedly, as if to say——

"Can we stop drinking this from now on?"

With a bitter face, An Le lowered her head to examine Su Li's state.

He unexpectedly discovered that the strange stone plaques on Su Li's face had actually become lighter?

'Sure enough, the foreign stone disease not only invades the body, but also pollutes the soul. '

An Le recalled the feeling of wearing the different stone armor before.

He had already guessed the cause of the heterolithiasis.

But if that's the case...

This disease may never be eradicated in the Stone Clan.

'No, not right. '

An Le overturned his guess again.

'As far as Su Dai said, it was only in the last two months that the foreign stone disease reappeared, and it didn't happen for a long time before. '
