The final gentleman

Levenholm, on the riverside of the city.

A group of gentlemen, mainly in light-colored coats, are searching for the presumed 'death factor' here. They all wear sun badges, which are exactly the same as the Sunshine Hospital's sign, except that the size is reduced.

The man in the lead is Diss Campbell, the current president of Sunshine Hospital and the founder of Sunshine Secret Medicine.

His influence coefficient as a doctor can be ranked in the top ten among Zion physical doctors.

Dark skinned and bald,

Alien clothing structure (leather content 71%), white tapered robe, the surface is covered with wavy golden sun patterns, and the back even derives an exaggerated sun disk (a specialization of the gentleman's skin), Even a bit like the structure of his wings.

If you take off his coat, you will find that his black skin has been partially flared, and the skin lines shining with golden spots just draw a sun pattern on his back.

Wherever he goes, the fog lifts from nearby streets.

The output of each bottle of Sun Secret Medicine will undergo his 'sun fermentation'.

Now, what happened in Lewenholm has completely paralyzed the hospital and the secret medicine system. Even the famous Dean of the Sun has been unable to find the root cause.

Yesterday, he even received a personal letter from Zion’s top brass,

Zion's top management has made the decision that if the death toll in Levinholm continues to grow and exceeds the rated value, it will be necessary to abandon the entire city, including the hospital he has worked so hard to operate to this day.

Therefore, he immediately took six reserve doctors from the hospital who were carefully trained by him, and launched a pathogen search in every corner of the city in the name of [Sun Church], determined to find the pathogen before the organization issued an order for complete evacuation.

However,

The impatience in his heart gradually amplified as time went by. When Dis ordered to conduct separate searches relying on their own induction, self-idea and ability, [Impatient] evolved into [Gap].

Two hours later, the team regrouped.

A reserve doctor in the team who was valued by Dis did not return to the team. Even if the sun radiated out immediately, he still could not get any response.

Missing!

At this moment, even Dis felt a desire to retreat and a fear of the unknown, and the sun wheel on his back dimmed a lot.

[Sunshine Hospital-General Ward]

The momentum of Yi Chen's four-person team was slightly sluggish.

Mr. Hervoye used the most conventional autopsy methods and found nothing. The three fresh corpses were all craniotomized, and all brain tissues that might have been invaded by pathogens were sectioned and dissolved with detection agents, but nothing was found.

Even Lotson, who was always optimistic and had squinting eyes, frowned slightly. He controlled the blood to flow to every corner of the corpse's brain, but found nothing.

Everything is normal and there is no illness at all. This is the only conclusion that can be drawn at the moment.

So what is causing this massive and growing death toll?

Naturally, Yi Chen was not idle either.

He stared at the still fresh brain between the skull bones the whole time, his vision wandering between the brain grooves, trying to find the problem.

During this process,

Unknowingly, a drop of saliva slipped down the corner of his mouth.

As a characteristic skill of [Student] - ≮Central Taste≯ is passively activated by the brains of these dead people who are not contaminated or diseased.

Yi Chen quickly wiped it away with his palm.

At this time, Little Grape's voice came:

"yes! Can't your kid get memory fragments directly by absorbing cerebral spinal fluid? If you eat all these corpses at once, you won't be able to figure out whether you can get a sound memory of death. 』

"Little Grape, have you ever thought that I might be infected with death and die like this?" 』

"It's okay~ If you die, I will pack you up and send you back to the Seven Days Cemetery immediately." With your current physical condition, you can ferment in the cemetery for a hundred days at most before you can crawl out again. 』

"Don't be ridiculous. Unless it's absolutely necessary, I won't consider taking in cerebrospinal fluid for the time being. As a veteran autopsy examiner, Mr. Hervoye must have his own unique methods, let’s take a look first. 』

"Cowardly!" 』

No matter what Xiao Putao said, Yi Chen would definitely not take this risk.

at this time,

Mr. Hervoye's breath changed, and his whole body exuded the smell of rotten wood mixed with corpses. He decided to use some methods that were not consistent with conventional autopsy.

His 'this method' has been reported among organizations, which is one of the reasons why he has been an autopsy examiner from beginning to end and has not been promoted.

Take off your coat,

Rubber-like gloves and rain boots are also removed.

The exposed hands and feet are full of tiny holes, which makes people’s scalp numb just by looking at them.

If you look closely, you will find that these holes are dilated pores, and there seems to be something hidden inside.

"What I'm going to do next will go against a gentleman's character and personal ethics to a certain extent, but the original intention is to find out the source of death. If this method still doesn't work, I will voluntarily abandon this mission.

You guys stand back a little bit. "

At Helvoye's signal, Yi Chen, the others, and the clinic apprentices retreated to the door of the ward.

He leaned over and put his palms on the ground, and drops of thick liquid overflowed from the honeycomb-shaped pores, drawing strange formations on the ground.

Zizzi~ The light bulb in the hospital room began to flicker.

As he pulled up his hands, a handmade brown coffin rose from the ground.

Ga~

The upright coffin disintegrated on its own, and a 'corpse' with human proportions drawn on it stood in place.

Yi Chen was able to detect that the corpse summoned by the old gentleman was alive. All its organs were functioning normally, but its brain was empty.

His eyes were closed tightly, and he looked like a living dead.

Hervoy immediately opened the skull of the living dead,

Then, through perfect 'human brain grafting', the brain of a corpse that had been dead for less than half an hour was transferred to the skull of the living dead.

After Mr. Hervoye sutured his skull, considering the possibility of death spreading, he immediately left the ward to join the team.

Click! Close the door, leaving only a small hole to peek into the ward.

The living dead summoned by Helvoye will actively accept foreign organs, quickly connect the nerves and blood vessels, and begin to deliver the freshest blood to the brain.

Ha... take a deep breath

The confused eyes slowly became brighter,

He spread his arms and quickly looked at this new body, then twisted his head to observe the surrounding scene.

Suddenly, he ran towards the window violently,

Even though he was still fully adapted to his new body, he still ran at a speed that exceeded his instinct. Some strong will stimulated the crazy secretion of adrenaline hormones.

Boom!

He broke through the glass window of the ward and fell vertically from the height of seven floors, perfectly touching the ground with his head.

Bang!

Everyone also went downstairs and outside the hall immediately.

The brain plasma and blood are spreading outward,

The corpse with a broken neck and a dented head could barely make out its appearance. The man was filled with an extremely happy smile, as if his dream had come true, twice.

After seeing this scene, Hervoye made a preliminary guess.

“Instinct, just like humans are born with the ability to breathe, take the initiative to absorb oxygen in the air, and look for food when they are hungry.

As biological beings, we also instinctively avoid death. We try to avoid the risk of death as much as possible in our daily lives. When encountering a death event that threatens our lives, our bodies will even secrete hormones that allow us to explode our body functions beyond normal levels for a period of time in order to Avoid danger and escape death.

However,

This person's instinct to avoid death was completely reversed.

He will not avoid death, but actively seek death... and his instinct to pursue [death] ranks first. He may even fall into a state of excitement during the pursuit and try his best to complete it all.

A 'concept' of death was implanted into their consciousness in some way that conventional autopsy methods could not detect.

This is just my guess, I need more fresh corpse samples! By restraining the living dead who attempted suicide and vivisecting their brains during the suicidal impulse, we might be able to identify the problem. "

At this time,

The white-haired Lotson in the team looked at the living dead in front of him who committed suicide by jumping off the building, and at Mr. Hervoye who was excited about the breakthrough in the investigation. A weird smile spread out from the corner of his mouth.
