Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1298 1270. Convergence of clues

Maria was wary of Lan En, so she didn't alert others when she came back.

This is somewhat good news. At least not many people will come to interfere with the process.

"When did you come here?"

Lan En asked next.

"I just arrived not long ago." Maria said softly, "The first thing I saw through the crack of the door was these. And the way you walked towards him with the needle, so I rushed in."

As she spoke, Maria's slightly trembling hand pointed at the patient corpses piled on the ground.

The witcher knew what was going on after just a moment's thought.

She first saw the pile of corpses through the crack in the door. She suddenly realized that she had been deceived and the pain these patients suffered.

Anger made her lose control and rushed directly towards Lan En, who was walking towards the patient with a syringe in his hand.

But basically within half a second after taking action, she woke up.

The corpses of these patients were obviously piled up during long-term experiments, and Lan Enlong had only been around for a few days?

A tall hunter who can use [Acceleration] and has amazing skills but has never appeared in Yharnam may be suspicious in itself.

But this pile of patient corpses is unlikely to be directly related to him.

That's why Lan En concluded from her breathing that she didn't actually want to kill anyone, but was just subconsciously venting her anger.

Therefore, the demon hunter and Maria could maintain a relatively tacit understanding of timing and stop each other in time.

"You mean, gray blood disease is man-made?!"

Maria's voice was colder than ever before, and she reacted immediately after hearing Lan En's brief description of the situation to her.

Her long leather boots stepped on the wooden floor that had been soaked with blood, and she walked to the experimental table.

Under the dim kerosene lamp, she looked at the broken pills.

"Those are little pills distributed by the Good Gold Cup Church."

There was danger in her tone, and Lan glanced sideways down at her.

Without explaining much, he just picked up a glass bottle stopper on the table and threw it towards the reagent cabinet next to him without turning his head.

There was a crisp sound of glass breaking, a hole was made in a bottle, and then there was a scene of a large pile of white pills that were the same as those on the table, flowing down.

Since ordinary people and even hunters cannot discover the ‘added ingredients’ in these pills, then the clergy naturally don’t need to be too careful about concealed storage.

After all, although this medicine was first distributed by the Good Golden Cup Church, the Healing Church also recognized that it had certain detoxification capabilities.

If you have reserves, it’s normal to tell them. You can even put it on a shelf openly for people to see.

"This is...?!"

Maria, on the other hand, stared blankly at the pile of pills left on the reagent cabinet.

If it were before, she would have been able to watch this bottle of small pills with detoxification ability appear in the laboratory in the research hall with a calm mind.

But now, Lan En's laboratory table clearly connected the relationship between gray blood disease and pills.

Maria only felt that her throat was dry, and she even had to open her mouth slightly to breathe smoothly.

This was simply unthinkable to her.

"This church! I mean the Healing Church." Maria forced herself to calm down. "The Healing Church has always wanted to save everyone with [blood therapy]. This is impossible."

Mary probably wanted to say: This cannot be done by the Healing Church. Perhaps this is a slander from the good Golden Cup Church?

Maria had despaired of studying the clergy in the hall, but she still had hope in the purpose of the healing church.

But Lan En didn't give her a chance to say those words.

Because a drop of alchemy reagent has been dripped into the test tube, which is small, barely less than five milliliters of the patient's blood.

——On the blood of terminal gray blood patients who have undergone [blood therapy]!

With a 'pop' sound, the glass test tube in Lan En's hand exploded!

The witcher was not frightened this time, he simply took a step back.

Then there was a sticky sound, causing the test tube to explode and hit the wooden floor, twisting and flopping like a live fish that had just landed.

Maria and Lan En both watched this scene speechlessly.

Because from the little test tube just now, less than five milliliters of blood, the moment after the Lan En Alchemy Reagent was dripped.

Suddenly, something as thick as an adult's arm and similar in appearance to a marine mollusk popped out of it!

In an instant, a complex smell hit his nostrils.

Mixed with the stench of lycanthropic patients and the fishy smell of seafood.

The hidden flavor is completely exposed at this time!

"What the hell is this?!"

Maria said with difficulty.

But Lan En didn't answer her, he just looked at her calmly.

The answer is actually very clear.

Compared with the blood of ordinary gray blood patients, the only difference is that it has undergone [blood therapy] at the research center!

"Is that really 'therapy', Maria?"

The things that jumped out of Shao Shao's blood are still flopping on the wooden floor, their sticky limbs flapping.

It just doesn't seem to adapt to the environment here. This thing, which is the size of an adult's arm, is becoming weaker and weaker.

While Lan En was talking, he walked over. His boots, which were angular because of the dragon scales, stepped on the mollusk with a "snap" sound, making a sound like squeezing a water ball.

The tentacles of the mollusk, which had been dancing, suddenly stiffened and then collapsed.

"In the process of exploring biology and medicine, disease is not only a disaster, but also a resource."

"Rare and rare diseases are valuable. Because perhaps a disease that has never been discovered can bring deeper secrets of life. Those secrets that have never been known to people."

Lan En's feet rolled.

"Disease is not just a disease, nor is it just an object that needs to be cured, but also a means of exploring mysteries."

"Some knowledge can only be obtained by contacting cases."

As he said, Lan En looked up at Maria, who was stunned.

"What kind of clergy do you think they belong to?"

Maria remained silent, just lowered her head on her tricorn hat.

She was not as devout as most people in the Church of Healing. But on the other hand, her trust in the Healing Church actually comes from her teacher's trust in the church.

With the identity and qualifications of the [First Hunter], there is no way that the church can be hidden from him without leaving any trace.

But if you say so, isn't it equivalent to the teacher deceiving me? !

No, how could it be.

Maria shook her head subconsciously.

"There have been too many unnecessary conversations." The Blood Noble resisted letting herself continue to think, and she changed the subject, "I don't know who you are, Lan En. But I think we may be able to rescue the patients here together first!"

"Stop those damn experiments! Then investigate whether gray blood disease is man-made or something else!"

Lan En nodded in agreement, but his agreement was limited to the first half of the sentence: "Yes, we do need to do something. I feel like I'm about to get the answer."

"The answer?" Maria looked up, her brows slightly frowned under the tricorn hat, "What are you talking about?"

This was already a very exposed emotional expression for her.

"I'm asking you a question, Ms. Maria." Lan En used his toes to poke at the soft-bodied creature on the floor that had already stopped moving. "Is there a saltwater lake near Yharnam? Or a way to import seafood?"

The things found in the blood of patients with gray blood disease are too marine.

The taste and appearance. Lan En suspected that this should be some kind of marine parasite with supernatural power.

"Small fishing village." Maria also frowned. She still couldn't understand what Lan En meant, but she still gave an answer. "Yharnam is close to the sea, and the small fishing village is the source of Yharnam's catch."

Maria was a little stuck in the middle of the sentence.

Lan En obviously noticed this stuck.

"Small fishing village? What happened to that small fishing village?"

"That makes sense!" Maria suddenly calmed down, "Church. No! My teacher told me that the small fishing village is the source of gray blood disease. As long as the hunters hunt and kill a special monster there, the plague will disappear!"

"Wait!" This time, it was Lan En's turn to stare slightly, "You said 'hunters' and 'hunting'?"

"You organized so many old hunters just to go to that small fishing village?!"

"Where is the target of the big hunt?!"

Lan En became more serious than ever before. This was actually not much different from his previous calmness, but Maria still noticed it.

The demon hunter looked at the samples he had verified on the laboratory table, those disgusting parasites.

Then he turned his head vigorously and asked Maria: "You said you turned back, which means you still want to go to the small fishing village, right?"

"Let's go!"

Maria didn't know why Lan En suddenly became serious, but the demon hunter knew it in his heart.

-The clues merged!

In this deepest and most dangerous nightmare in Yharnam, Simon is responsible for tracking the secret of the Great Hunt.

Lan En chose the clue of the plague of gray blood disease.

And now, the intersection of the two lines has appeared! This often means that the key to the truth and the change has arrived!

Simon didn't know how many times he died in this nightmare, but now, it is definitely the closest they have ever been to the secret of the nightmare!

The key to this nightmare is probably in that small fishing village!

Maria did not refuse.

Whether it is the duty of a hunter or the impulse to verify a certain idea in her heart, she must go back to the small fishing village.

Her teacher will not deceive her. Maria is so convinced.

By guarding against Lan En, she witnessed so much information in a very short time, her spirit was shocked, and her kindness was played.

She firmly believed that after arriving in the small fishing village, everything would be revealed.
