Chapter 269 Believe it or not?

When Duanmuhuai came to the Judgment Court stronghold on this planet again, it had already changed into another look.

The castle occupied by the Astral Army has not changed much, but they have added a reactor below to supply energy—of course, considering the principle of the Tribunal’s consistent use of everything, this thing It can also turn into a huge bomb at any time, completely destroying everything here.

Near the castle is a bustling town.

This was originally an abandoned town. The vagrants and prisoners rescued from the Orcs by the Astral Army became the first residents here. They repaired the wires and brought light to this place. Now this small town is becoming more and more prosperous, and they use the currency standard among the vagrants to trade——of course, the entire land belongs to the Inquisition Chamber, and any vagrants who want to live here must go through the Star Guards. Any disputes will be adjudicated by the tribunal.

Although fully armed Star Guards could be seen patrolling the streets, the people here lived in a fairly stable way.

At least for now.

After Duanmuhuai came to the stronghold, he immediately called some influential wanderers here to inquire, including some traveling merchants, as well as doctors and soldiers.

From their mouths, Duanmu Huai finally learned the whole ins and outs of this matter.

"...In other words, this strange plague appeared suddenly? Hasn't it appeared before?"

After listening to everyone's report, Duanmu Huai frowned and looked at the homeless people, who all shook their heads.

"Not at all. In fact, even a year ago, we had never seen a similar plague..."

However, at this moment, a vagrant merchant raised his hand.

"My lord, in fact, many people suspect that this is a poisoning operation by the orcs, because they have been retreating steadily recently and found that they cannot beat humans, so they used this method to release this new type of plague. I have seen..."

"No."

However, at this moment, a man spoke.

"I should have seen a similar plague."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai looked at the other party curiously. He remembered that this man seemed to be a soldier rescued from the beast clan's lair.

"have you seen?"

"Yes, when I was caught and transported away by those damn beast races, I saw them attacked by another group of beast races. They just emitted fluorescent light all over their bodies, and their two eyes were also glowing. At that time, I I thought it was some kind of new type of orc..."

"really!"

Hearing this, other people immediately talked about it.

"I knew it, it must have something to do with those damned orcs!"

"They must have done it!"

"Okay! Be quiet!"

Duanmuhuai snorted coldly, and the homeless people below all shut their mouths obediently, while he stared at the void in front of him, frowning tightly. The reason is very simple. At this moment, a system message appeared in front of Duanmuhuai.

【Hidden Mission Opportunities——Survival and Destruction】

[A strange plague is spreading on this planet, all life is threatened, investigate and eradicate it completely]

【Mission Objective: Eliminate the Plague】

[Mission failed: The entire planet was infected]

so serious?

If Duanmu Huai didn't quite believe it at first, now he feels that this matter may be more serious than he imagined. If the entire planet is infected, then the only thing left is to issue an extinction order. And this also shows that this plague may infect all life forms on the entire planet!

We must figure out what is going on with these damned plagues!

"I see."

Duanmu Huai thought for a moment, and immediately made a decision.

"I will send a team of Star Guards to investigate the source of the plague, and you should also ask the homeless people to see if there is any news about these plagues, whether it is rumors or rumors, report them all. Also, from today First, set up a quarantine facility at the entrance, and anyone who wants to enter the town must undergo a quarantine. By the way, at the same time, a physical examination will be carried out for the homeless people who are currently living here..."

"But my lord..."

Hearing this, the doctor raised his hand sadly.

"We don't have enough manpower..."

"Oh, that's not a problem. I'll give you an icon, and you'll set it up in clinics and quarantine stations. Anyone with a disease can pray to it."

"Uh... what's the use of this?"

"Probably heals."

“……………………???”

If it weren't for Duanmuhuai's viciousness, the doctor would probably complain about "Are you kidding me?" at this moment. Worshiping the holy image can cure the disease? Then what is the use of these doctors?

Facing the doctor's suspicious eyes, Duanmuhuai could only shrug his shoulders. There was no other way. People in the technological world would feel weird when they heard this kind of thing. ?

"It's good to take it as a comfort in my heart, anyway, I don't need money, just trust me a little bit."

"This... ok, I see."

Although the doctor didn't quite understand Duanmuhuai's thoughts, he also knew about the beliefs of the Tribunal. After all, everyone living here must be aware of this. Of course, for them, the belief of the Tribunal is not a bad thing. To protect human beings and exterminate any existence that threatens human beings is a matter of course for these people. So they didn't think there was anything wrong with the belief of the trial court. Considering that it might have a certain effect on the patient's psychological factors, the doctor agreed.

But when he returned to the clinic, the doctor immediately regretted it.

"Is this thing...... really okay???"

Looking at the icon in front of him, the doctor was also speechless.

In front of him was an icon sent by soldiers of the Astral Army. It had an iron base and looked quite heavy. On the top of the base, there is a huge war hammer. The hammer head falls to the ground, and the hammer handle stands up high. There are three horizontal bars and a human skull pattern on it.

This is the icon of the Inquisition.

By the way, why is it a skull...

Looking at the icon in front of him, the doctor was also speechless. He had already discovered that almost everyone in the Tribunal had skull marks on them, whether it was the soldiers of the Astral Army or their commanders, even the strongholds were everywhere. They're all skulls. Of course, the doctor also asked the reason, and the answer he got was that the human skull without mutation represented the sanctity, purity and purity of human beings, and represented the meaning of fighting for human beings.

Although it is true, this decoration really looks like a villain, okay?

Originally, the doctor had hoped that the other party would give him a statue of a beautiful woman or a cross, but this thing... could really comfort the patient?

I'm afraid it wasn't as soon as I came in, I thought it was a morgue.

What if the heart is not good and you are frightened and convulsed?

"Doctor, what is this?"

At this moment, the nurse also came over, looking at the icon in front of him suspiciously.

"Uh... this is sent by the trial court, it is said that it can calm the patient's mind..."

"...Won't this scare people?"

"Don't ask, this is not something we should discuss."

The doctor reluctantly persuaded the nurse and signaled her not to talk too much. The area occupied by the Inquisition is essentially a military rule. Here, the orders of the Inquisition and the Star Militia are the most important. They are not weak like COG. The government, in fact, at the very beginning, some vagrants who came here tried to incite everyone to fight against the Inquisition, but the result...

Just look at the bodies hanging outside the gate.

The Inquisition accepts no negotiations, much less threats.

Although the Tribunal is very high-pressure, it is not inconvenient for ordinary vagrants in life. Apart from maintaining order and patrolling, those star border troops hardly cause any trouble to vagrants. The Star Militia would bully them like the soldiers of the security government, and later found out that as long as they didn't violate the law, the Star Militia wouldn't care about what you did, and they wouldn't take anything from them, so Also relieved.

It doesn't matter what the nurse is complaining about now, and it doesn't matter if she casually talks about it, and I don't worry that someone will arrest her because of it, but out of politeness, the doctor still stopped her behavior of gossiping.

After all, this is on someone else's territory, isn't it?

Soon, the clinic opened, and the doctor returned to his office to start today's work.

For doctors, this is not a relaxing job. The most important reason is that there is not enough medicine.

That's right, drugs.

If it is a trauma, maybe the doctor can handle it, but if it is a disease that needs to be treated with medicine, it will be very troublesome. The Tribunal has imported a batch of medicines for treating diseases from Manaria, but these medicines are also At most, it plays the role of anti-inflammatory, sterilizing, disinfecting and relieving pain, but it does not have a good effect on some basic chronic long-term diseases.

So in many cases, even if the disease is diagnosed, there is no cure... After all, the pharmaceutical factory has been blown up.

However, the disease still needs to be seen.

"Huh...huh..."

When the doctor was seeing a doctor, suddenly, a patient walked in. This was an old man, and for the doctor, he was already a frequent visitor in the clinic. This old man used to be a soldier when he was young, but he was wounded in the war with the orcs. When he spoke, he panted like a bellows. Therefore, as soon as he heard the bellows sound, the doctor knew it was him.

"Uncle Hank, are you here again?"

"Yeah, doctor......... Huh... Is there any good medicine..."

"This...Sorry, I really don't have any particularly useful medicine on hand at the moment."

Faced with the old man's question, the doctor spread his hands helplessly. The old man's lung infection was very serious, and it was not a day or two. At this time, similar medicines are more valuable than gold, and even the doctor has no stock here, and he only has the right to prescribe medicines—the medicines are kept by the Star Guards, and ordinary people simply cannot get them.

"That's right...hey...by the way, what is that strange thing outside?"

"Oh, that's the icon of the Tribunal... If you want, Uncle Hank, you can go and pray, maybe it will be better."

"Okay...hehe, I see."

Hearing the doctor's recommendation, the old man chuckled, then turned and left, while the doctor shook his head and continued to look at the next patient.

"call……………"

Leaving the consulting room, the old man took a deep breath. In fact, he didn't have any particularly annoying thoughts about the doctor. After all, he knew that he had been ill for a long time. Putting it here, maybe one day I will die.

But the illness in front of him is really too difficult. Almost every time he takes a breath, the old man’s lungs feel like a large heated bellows, and what he exhales is hot and hot air. This feeling is like torture...

"Why……………"

Sighing, the old man dragged his body and walked towards the door. When he came to the holy image, he looked at the holy image carefully, put his hands together, and closed his eyes. Although he didn't believe in the idea that prayers could cure illnesses, the old man was still very grateful to the Tribunal. For the sake of survival, ordinary homeless tribes almost only want young people, women and children, and they reject units like the elderly who have no productivity and can only consume. The Tribunal not only allows the elderly to live here, but also designates a special residential area for them, and provides three meals a day for free... For the elderly, this is considered very good care.

"Thank you, old man... Huh... There is nothing to repay, I have to see if there is a chance in the next life... I have repaid the kindness of the court..."

While closing his eyes, the old man muttered to himself and prayed—and at this moment, the old man suddenly felt a cool feeling emerging from his body, and in the blink of an eye, he felt My limbs seemed to be soaked in a clear spring, filled with a feeling of comfort and coolness, and even my head, which was originally confused, woke up at this moment.

"call………"

Opening his eyes, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, then he turned and walked out of the clinic... However, at this moment, the old man seemed to have discovered something, he instinctively stretched out his hand and touched his chest, and then he was surprised wide-eyed.

The next moment, the old man turned around and rushed into the clinic.

"Doctor! Doctor!!!"

"Wow, what's the matter? Uncle Hank?"

The doctor who was treating the patient was startled when he saw the old man rushing into the office, while the latter flushed with excitement and danced.

"I'm ready!"

"What? What's up?"

"My illness! My illness is cured!! Look, I'm cured!!"

At this moment, the old man was so excited that he was at a loss, and the doctors and nurses looked at each other in blank dismay. Only then did they realize that the behavior of the old man at this moment was indeed different from the past. Normally, even if he took a breath, the old man would be exhausted to death, and his speech would be weak. Now, he is actually so energetic...

"what happened?"

At this moment the doctor was also stunned, and couldn't figure out how the old man was doing so well.

"It's what you said, doctor, let me worship the holy statue outside, and after I finish worshiping... it will be fine!"

"……………Aha?!"

Hearing the old man's answer, the doctor was completely stunned.
