Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1299 1271. Injection

"I have a carriage outside." Maria looked at Lan En up and down and nodded curtly. "We can take a carriage to the small fishing village."

The demon hunter turned around and walked out the door.

Maria followed closely, but before finally pushing the door open and leaving, she looked back with a complicated expression at the patients in the laboratory who were still tied to the steel beds and almost motionless.

"Huh~"

She took a deep breath, then seemed to have some determination, slammed the door and left.

After leaving the laboratory, the two people walked towards the door downstairs without stopping or hiding anything.

Time is tight now, and they all feel there is no need to be secretive.

So in the research hall, many clergymen coming and going looked at them in shock.

It was already time for Maria to leave, wasn’t it?

The clergy all watched the huntress get into the car and leave this morning, but now

As if remembering something, many of the clergymen who were holding documents, books, and notebooks, and walking briskly as if expecting something, froze up after seeing Maria's figure.

Although their faces have always been expressionless, the emotional fluctuations that have been exposed in their body movements are still too obvious.

It was so obvious that Lan En, who was walking in front, felt the incongruity almost immediately.

Something is wrong with these clergy today.

"Adeline." Suddenly, Lan En, who was walking in front, stopped and asked Maria thoughtfully. "Did you see Adeline when you came back secretly?"

"What? No, I didn't."

Maria, who was already upset, responded subconsciously.

But just halfway through speaking, she immediately realized something was wrong.

She turned back secretly, thinking to be wary of Lan En, so it was reasonable for Adeline not to see her.

But Adeline runs around the research hall every day and is eager to help. She has been like this since Adeline came to the research hall. How could she not see Adeline when she came back?

Maria felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave for a moment.

The hairs all over my body are exploding!

She looked around the entire research hall blankly.

Before I came back today, although this research hall was gloomy, it was not much different from the overall style of Yanan.

Although there was a strange smell of medicine and the cries and screams of the patients, Maria always felt that this was an unavoidable painful process when treating diseases.

As long as you get through it, there is hope, which is better than those patients who can only watch the disease progress step by step after getting gray blood disease and wait to die.

For patients with this disease, they should be lucky to feel pain sometimes.

But what now?

The whines and cries of the patients were attenuated by the well-insulated walls and doors, turning into faint whines that echoed in the empty research hall.

Maria looked at the entire research hall now and felt a chill all over her body.

What have I done? !

How many of these patients persisted in such great pain because of her encouragement and persuasion?

Compared with these pains, death seems like relief.

If there is a possibility of curing the disease, then of course everything is worth it, but now.

When I say to them ‘live on’, am I cursing them instead? !

The female hunter, who was always known for her stability and precision, seemed to be dizzy at this moment, raising her hand to hold her forehead under her tricorn hat.

Compared with the delicate porcelain white before, his face was more pale like a corpse.

But then, a big hand stretched out from in front of her and pressed down the palm that was holding her forehead.

While pressing Maria's hand, Lan En walked directly past her and walked to a clergyman who was standing blankly.

Under the dim light of the kerosene lamp, Lan En's tall body cast a heavy shadow, covering the entire person opposite.

"Adeline, the Blood Saint who was busy here before." Lan En's voice was low and gentle. "Where is she now?"

The gentle voice made people's hearts tremble inexplicably.

".No." The cleric who faced Lan En said in a sullen tone, but still said with a sullen face, "Hunter, you, you just have to do your job well. Don't meddle in research matters."

He was obviously hoping to use the so-called 'rules' in the study hall to get Lan En to stop meddling in his own business.

But now that the most critical information about this nightmare has been determined, why does Lan En still care about the little 'rules' of this research hall?

"You just said, 'research'?"

Lan En did not answer the clergyman in front of him. Instead, he tilted his head and asked softly.

I don't know why, but seeing Lan En tilting his head slightly, the cleric felt more and more unhappy.

He opened his mouth to say something.

But it's no longer necessary.

"Bang!"

From under the large cloak, a huge black shadow flew out and hit the opponent's head sideways!

Lan En's clenched fist was no bigger than a human head.

The dragon scales on the outside of the gauntlet shattered the cheekbones on the side of his face, and his eyeballs were squeezed out of their sockets. Then, the sharp-edged external dragon scales tore off almost half of his face.

Immediately, the clergyman who was standing in front of Lan En fell back more than two meters from the ground and finally fell on the wet stone floor.

The clergymen who were watching here retreated far away, and Lan En didn't pay much attention to them.

It was just that the vertical pupils in his eyes shrank unsteadily, and the sense of the demon hunter had been opened.

Even if someone walked on the wet brick floor of the research hall, there would be no trace left.

But those details that ordinary people could not see were invisible to the demon hunter's super sense.

He glanced at the ground and immediately recognized Adeline's footprints, which were lighter than those of other people in the research hall.

He followed the footprints directly.

Maria followed behind him, and when he passed the clergyman whose face was half broken and only his arms were left unconsciously scratching on the wet ground.

"Puchi~"

The tip of the long knife [Falling Leaves] stabbed into the back of the clergyman, and turned 90 degrees amid the sound of blood and flesh stirring, and then pulled out neatly.

This action frightened the clergymen so much that they immediately scattered and ran away in different directions.

The descendants of Sumeru who were guarding at the staircase upstairs were still like rigid puppets, just looking down and then ignoring them.

——

Adeline was being tied to a chair by the clergymen in white robes, which made her feel like she was being tortured.

But she knew that this was impossible.

"You don't have to tie me so tightly." Adeline said to the clergymen in white robes who were tightening the leather restraints, twisting her body a little uncomfortably.

"I will cooperate with your experiment, and I can also endure the pain."

"Really?" The clergyman in white robes continued his work expressionlessly, "It's hard to say, Adeline. This experiment will be very painful."

"But in order to help those patients with gray blood," Adeline swallowed her saliva to relieve her tension, but still revived her confidence, "I can definitely make it!"

"Make it?" As if hearing something interesting, the clergyman in white robes showed an inconspicuous smile on his face.

He said softly.

"I'm afraid you can't make it. Even if you have a good tolerance for pain, our experiment this time is to reach the point beyond your tolerance limit."

"As long as you can still bear it, I will keep increasing the stakes. Always, always. Hehe."

"Really?" At this point, Adeline smiled a little unconfidently, but she still sat on the chair without struggling.

Just trying to calm her nervousness and fear with deep breathing.

Adeline's hands were also tied to the armrests of the chair, and the retention needle in her hand was also exposed.

In the dim light, the white-robed clergyman brought a tube of liquid that was so dim that the color could not be seen clearly, and it seemed that he was going to inject it into Adeline's body through the retention needle.

"This is the blood of the gray blood patient."

He explained to Adeline with interest.

This made the Blood Saint purse her lips, because usually, the clergy would not talk well to people like her who did not participate in the research.

She thought that maybe her enthusiasm had finally been recognized by everyone?

So Adeline asked softly with some relaxation.

"Will it infect me?"

"Yes, of course." The white-robed clergyman leaned over to connect the outer end of the retention needle and said, "But don't worry, the sacred blood can relieve all illnesses."

"And your body is full of this sacred blood. It can't hurt you. It can't hurt you."

The other party's muttering echoed in the room, and finally twisted into a gloomy whisper.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Adeline also muttered to herself to encourage herself, "No disease can resist the great [blood therapy]!"

"You don't have to fight it either." The white-robed clergyman had a cold smile on his face.

Adeline didn't understand, but she felt that this smile made her feel more and more uneasy.

"What do you mean?"

"I said." The test tube containing the blood of the gray blood patient has been connected to the external interface of the retention needle, and the white-robed clergyman's finger has been pressed on the plunger of the syringe!

"You don't have to fight it, Adeline. We need you to nurture it with the endless sacred blood in your body! Let it take root in your body!"

"Listen to its growth, listen to the knowledge beyond human wisdom it reveals in its growth!"

As he said this, regardless of Adeline who didn't understand but was still panicking, his finger was about to push the plunger down and inject the blood into Adeline's body.

But at this moment, there was a noise outside the door of the laboratory, and it was getting closer and closer!
