Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1296 1268. Alchemy Experiment

Most of the patients with gray blood were already dead, and were thrown on the ground like broken pillows.

Only a few patients tied with leather restraints on a few iron medical beds were still making weak groans like the flapping wings of mosquitoes, or their fingers and other parts were twitching nervously.

Lan En's eyes were cold for a moment when he first came in, but then he turned around and closed the door quietly, and then turned around again, his face was calm.

Although this "calmness" was more frightening than when he had a cold face just now.

The boots stepped on the wooden floor soaked in blood, making a sound of squeezing wet wood.

Lan En calmly stepped over many broken and weird corpses and came to the side of the unstained laboratory table.

He raised his head and took a glance.

Instantly, analysis icons appeared on the retina of the demon hunter, circling various experimental instruments.

That was Mentos recording the current experimental scene, just like many alchemical or scientific experiments in the past, doing auxiliary work for its main body.

"Clang".

Lan En put the samples he brought on the experimental table with ease, and the familiar feeling was as if he had used this experimental table for a long time.

He was familiar with the location of each instrument and how to use them.

The demon hunter began to skillfully take out the gray blood samples and the pills he found.

First, a small part of the gray blood and powder were processed by him and put under the microscope, but after a while of observation, nothing was found.

There is no doubt that if direct observation can find anything, then the plague of old Yharnam is too superficial.

So Lan En was not moved.

While he quickly swept through the various reagents in the apothecary cabinet next to the experimental table, he also put his alchemical leather bag on the table, which contained many medicinal materials he had prepared in the magical Middle Ages.

Many of Yharnam's reagents are conventional, such as alcohol.

It's just that Yanan may have the same reagent here, but the name doesn't match Lan En's memory, so he needs to identify it.

"Mentos, start building the alchemy experiment process."

Lan En's hands are busy in an orderly manner. His eyes quickly recognize these potions in the reagent cabinet in the research hall and compare them with his own knowledge, and his brain is also docking with Mentos for the project.

"Executing, please enter the keywords for this alchemy experiment."

Mentos quickly created a new folder and invested computing power.

"The goal is [Purification] and [Manifestation]. If you can't do both at the same time, just choose one."

Lan En pointed out the goal calmly and rationally.

This is not only for Mentos, but also for himself.

His talent in alchemy and biology has been proven countless times, but when this genius brain bursts with inspiration, those inspirations emerge explosively.

So he has to standardize his thinking first, and then hand over the inspirations that he thinks are feasible to Mentos, so that the biochemical intelligent brain can do what it is good at-investing computing power to complete the simulation of subsequent development.

Plan an alchemy experiment in a strange and strange world according to the needs of the scene. Even if you tell this to Hen Gedimitis, the old man will blow his beard and stare and say "nonsense"!

But if you tell it to Tishaya, the sorceress may also shake her head, but she will show more hesitation.

—— Because she has really seen Lan En's academic talent.

He can really do this!

But the sorceress has only seen him.

"We are in a nightmare, so we must pay attention to the interference of the concept of [dream] during the alchemy process. It is naturally strong. At the same time, there is [blood]."

Muttering for a while, but Lan En did a lot of things without stopping.

And after he finished the work in his hands, that is, in two minutes, the Mentos in his mind had already submitted the results of the input computing power to the main body.

The biochemical intelligent brain chose the one with the highest success rate from Lan En's inspiration, but the process was more troublesome.

Lan En took a rough look and understood the whole process completed by Mentos according to his inspiration.

"The concept of [purification] is brought by lavender and ghost dust. There is no lavender here, but there is lavender essence. Yes, it can be used."

"At the same time, the crystal powder state of ghost dust represents the 'awake spirit', which can suppress [dreams] to a certain extent."

After a rough look, Lan En extracted the key elements of the whole process.

He skillfully used the instruments on the experimental table, and he logically and quickly combined the crucible, distillation flask and other equipment.

Formed a clear, complete and stable alchemy line.

The reagents bubbled in it, and Lan En judged the timing according to the precise experimental phenomena, relying on the control of the flame by the [Igni Seal] to control the reaction speed.

The final product is a bottle of colorless oily liquid.

It has an 80% chance of taking effect and achieving the effect Lan En wanted. After all, this is an alchemy process compiled on the spot.

Fortunately, Lan En had obtained enough samples yesterday, and now Maria has followed the main group out of Yharnam to participate in the hunt, and the other clergy don't care much about things outside of work.

Adhering to the principle of testing the first experimental product first, Lan En took a small amount of the sample he brought and placed it in a test tube.

He held a dropper in his other hand, experimentally sucked a few drops of the alchemical product he had just made, and dripped them into the gray semi-solid paste in the test tube.

In just a moment, Lan En knew that his alchemical experiment had once again succeeded in its usual "first attempt".

But his face did not show the joy of being an alchemist or the little complacency of a young man. Instead, there was only fear.

"Fuck!"

Lan En even cursed in fear for the first time.

He subconsciously held the test tube in his hand much further away. If it were not for his outstanding self-control, he might even throw the test tube out directly.

All this was because, at the moment when the drop of colorless transparent liquid dripped into the test tube and touched the gray paste.

There was only a slight "hiss" sound, as if a severe corrosion had occurred.

The gray blood, which was originally ordinary except for the color and viscosity, and even had no abnormalities under the microscope, suddenly boiled for a while.

The sudden burst of bubbles in the liquid even made the bottom of the glass test tube "ding-clang" for a second.

And Lan En's terrified eyes were fixed on the bottom of the test tube after the explosion.

The gray paste turned into a colorless liquid, but in the colorless liquid floated countless small insects that were still curling, stretching, twitching, and stiff!

The dense appearance gave people goose bumps, and the density of these small insects seemed to be the same as the liquid. They did not sink to the bottom or float up, but just floated like that.

". Parasite?!"

The amber cat's eyes adapted to the disgust and horror, and came closer to observe.

Lan En murmured a guess.

The so-called plague in gray blood patients may be a kind of "parasitic disease"?

This kind of insect obviously has supernatural properties.

Just now, when Lan En directly observed the gray blood under the microscope, he saw only normal blood dyed gray.

But now, after adding the alchemical product he prepared, a large number of bugs that can be directly observed with the naked eye suddenly appeared!

The gray blood also turned into a colorless liquid, as if the previous dirty color was stained by these hidden bugs.

And this smell.

"Sea smell?"

Lan En carefully used the fan smelling method to roll out some air from the mouth of the test tube and sent it to his nasal cavity.

Suddenly, a fishy and salty smell was recognized by him.

This smell was not abrupt in Lan En's sense, because he had smelled the blood of gray blood patients before.

The fishy smell seemed to have existed in it before, but because the previous smell was obscure and complex, this fishy and salty smell was covered up.

The parasites hid their smell, just like they hid their bodies in the blood before.

In order to ensure the credibility of the experiment, Lan En then tested the blood of three different gray blood patients, and finally tested two tablet fragments.

The final results were all consistent-parasites that had no traces at all suddenly appeared in those things out of thin air.

The parasites looked like squids under the microscope, with a greasy texture and dark skin that was almost gray-purple.

Most of them died in the alchemical reagents prepared by Lan En, curled up stiffly.

But there were also a few that showed tenacious vitality, swimming on the microscope slide with their claws and teeth bared.

Compared with the fragility that their tiny bodies should have, this vitality was simply terrifying.

Lan En took his eyes away from the eyepiece of the microscope and frowned.

Now he could be sure that gray blood disease was certainly not a plague in a natural state, it naturally carried supernatural power.

This was an infectious disease caused by supernatural parasites.

And obviously, in the process of the spread of this infectious disease, or even the source, there were traces of human intervention.

Lan En frowned and turned his head while supporting the table used for the experiment.

He looked at the patients tied up with restraints on the steel beds covered with blood and dirty bandages.

These were the gray blood patients who had been "treated" by the clergy in the research hall.

And what has this disease become in them?

The clergy claimed that they used [blood therapy] on patients with gray blood whose condition had progressed too seriously.

And [blood therapy] is considered a panacea that can cure everything in Yharnam.

But when the blood of gray blood patients has become like this, is the sacred blood injected into their veins really for them?

Do those clergy want to give [blood therapy] to patients or to those parasites?

And it is very simple to confirm this now.

Lan En left the laboratory table and walked towards the steel bed, taking a brass syringe from the table. He wanted to draw a tube of blood from these patients who had been ‘treated’.

But just as he stretched out the syringe.

Lan En, who was facing the laboratory door, suddenly raised his eyes that were looking at the needle, and then turned into smoke and dissipated.

And in the next moment, a flashy and gloomy blade passed the place where he was just now!

"Acceleration?"

Accompanied by the cold female voice's questioning, the door of the laboratory behind slowly closed at this time.

The blade in Maria's hand reflected a deep light under the dim light of the kerosene lamp, pointing at the demon hunter who reappeared not far away.

"Who are you?"
