The red moon returns

Chapter 419 Fire

According to Dr. Swain, as long as the body is found and destroyed, the transmission chain of the plague can be interrupted and the infectiousness of the infected people can be destroyed.

The transmission of one of the three elements was destroyed. Although the replication element in the grain still exists and will replicate the disease and become an infected person after eating, the injury can no longer allow the plague to spread, which is equivalent to destroying the strongest part of the plague.

If the treatment drugs are formulated, this plague will no longer be lethal.

At this point the four of them finally understood that this might be the real requirement for destroying the ceremony in the suppression conditions.

But this is easier said than done.

The person suspected of hiding the body is the city lord, the person who holds the highest power in the city.

Although Knight Terry was the person in charge of the city defense, the city lord of such a small city was not completely aloof and detached from the people. When you went out for a drink at night, you might meet the city lord and his men poisoning the wheat, and you could even have a few words with them. Therefore, he had a close relationship with all the citizens. It would be difficult for Knight Terry to encourage the soldiers to force the city lord to make concessions, unless he could incite the emotions of all the citizens, which was called a citizen riot.

People who often riot know that this is a very troublesome thing, at least there must be a reason that the people can believe as an excuse. But even Lynch himself is not sure about this matter, and he can't tell whether the city lord is actively doing evil or being deceived. It's hard to convince Terry and Swain, let alone accuse the city lord of this.

After hesitating for a while, Knight Terry took the initiative to step forward.

As the defender of the city and a loyal knight of the city lord, he felt that he had an obligation to find out the truth, find out the real evildoers, and stop the city lord from making a big mistake.

He decided to take advantage of the opportunity to report to the City Lord every day to go to the mansion to investigate the situation. With this legitimate reason as a cover, he believed that as long as he did not reveal his true purpose and did not alarm the real culprit behind the scenes, there would be no danger.

Ha ha.

Lin Qi seemed to see an old general on the stage, with no room for the flag behind him.

But Lynch still let him go. Someone really needed to take the risk, and he couldn't be stopped. However, he still pulled the knight aside and gave him some instructions.

You must not eat anything, or drink water unless necessary, and never mention the corpse, or be clever.

The most important thing is to be honest with the city lord. Apart from the fact that Lynch and the other four analyzed that there was something wrong with the corpse, don't hide anything and show your loyalty as much as possible so as not to arouse the city lord's suspicion.

Watching Knight Terry leave with a solemn expression, Lynch sighed softly. He had already reminded him of everything he needed to know, and the rest depended on his fate.

"They're all gone." Lynch turned around and stared at Dr. Swen and said, "So let's not beat around the bush. You already know who the ghoul is?"

"I don't know yet, but as you think, the ritual is recorded in the Book of the Dead, and I do know about it." Doctor Swen bit his lip with a gloomy expression. "After I came back, I mentioned it to several priests in the tribe. Maybe one of them leaked it."

Officer Natalie said bluntly: "You are lying."

"Yes, I was lying." Dr. Swen was equally blunt. "This is our internal matter. You are asking too many questions."

Natalie wanted to say something else, but Lynch grabbed her hand and shut her up immediately. Lynch squeezed the police officer's rough hand to signal her to calm down, and then said sincerely: "We can not ask, but we hope that our friends will not do anything stupid, let alone get hurt."

"Don't worry, even if I want to do something, I will prepare the medicine first, and then give you what you want."

Lynch didn't say anything, just stared at the zombie with calm eyes.

"You're so nosy. I've already told you I won't interfere with your business. Why are you still staring at me?" The irritable female doctor turned her head away angrily. She grumbled for a while before softening up and said angrily, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you before I really do anything. I won't kill myself quietly, okay? Really, aren't you hiding a secret too? Do you dare to say you don't know where the body is hidden?"

Lynch smiled bitterly and sighed.

He did think of the location of the body, but he had selfish motives.

Once the dangerous corpse is found, Dr. Sven and Terry will definitely demand that it be destroyed on the spot to cut off the spread of the plague at its source, and the sooner the better. A minute later could result in more deaths and irreversible consequences. But he and the three ladies discussed it and they were all unsure whether destroying the corpse was a sufficient condition to suppress the out-of-control of the strange object. If it was, then after destroying the corpse, the four people would leave this memory within a few minutes, and the task of planting the human-faced fruit would fail, which was a stupid act of putting the cart before the horse.

Therefore, the four of them have to wait until tomorrow when the first batch of human-faced fruits are harvested before they can try to find the bodies. Before that, they can only pray for the best for the people in this memory.

"The most likely possibility is the basement of the City Lord's Mansion." Facing Dr. Swen's gaze, Lynch did not hide anything. "We all heard what Butler Rocky said. The City Lord would not suddenly want to move his son's belongings into a specific room for no reason. I judge that the reason he did this was to welcome his youngest son home and help him decorate a new room. The problem is that I dare not tell Knight Terry this information. What if he gets carried away and sneaks into the basement to check, then I will harm him instead. I plan to at least wait until the medicine is prepared before taking action. This is safer."

"That's right." Dr. Sven showed a satisfied expression. "We have to wait until the medicine is prepared before making a decision."

Miss Diana understood immediately: "Is that body dangerous?"

"Of course it's dangerous. It can affect corpses in farmland hundreds of miles away. It's highly contaminated and can cause widespread infection if we're not careful. Especially for those of us who are in direct contact, our lives could be in danger if we're not careful. Let's wait. There's no rush tonight. Let me prepare the medicine first."

Yes, everything will be fine as long as the medicine is prepared.

In theory, this is true.

Dr. Swain needs to work late tonight, and Lynch and his three friends are worried about any emergencies, so they simply ask the soldiers to clean up a barracks, and the four of them move in together, starting their first night of living together.

What they did was so outrageous that Lynch was too embarrassed to tell anyone, not even for a fee.

Because the four of them were just reading books, which was a complete waste of time.

To be precise, the four of them borrowed some books from Dr. Swain's collection. Judy was responsible for reading, and the other three were responsible for memorizing.

Doctor Swen has mastered many advanced secret techniques. After the four of them take them back, they might be able to reap some good rewards.

But copying it would be a bad idea. If it was copied, it would be a mysterious document, which would be too laborious for the transcriber. The four of them could only memorize it as much as they could. How much they could bring back would depend on their memory.
But here are two poor students and one second-generation official...Lynch has begun to despair.

The time spent studying often flies by quickly, especially when there are only a few days left. The sky is getting darker, the red moon is already moving westward, and the silver moon is moving towards the center of the sky.

It's almost midnight.

Everything was fine with Dr. Swain, except that he was interrupted several times by Lynch who came to visit him and finally kicked him out in a very angry manner.

Knight Terry hasn't come back yet, so it looks like he has to stay at the City Lord's Mansion. But they don't know whether he will stay for one night or permanently. Even though the four of them are worried, they can't help much and can only hope that he is safe.

There were not many people left in the barracks. Most of the soldiers were sent out to patrol the city, and the fortress was unusually quiet.

The entire Novlan was shrouded in silence. In the embrace of the goddess of night, the city seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

Peaceful, tranquil and calm.

Everything is so calm.

Until suddenly a light appeared in the night sky in the south.

Red flames.

There was a fire in the direction of the city center.
