Chapter 14 The First Patient

Lugano, who was listening in, looked at Lumian suspiciously, wondering why he was chatting leisurely with Pierre after he just said he was ready to leave.

Wait a little longer, the official Beyonder is here!

Moreover, the more you know, the greater the intensity of the investigation in the future, which may even stimulate the source of the madness and let it deal with you and others now!

After thinking about it for more than ten seconds, Pierre said uncertainly: "The first patient seems to be a guest who rented in our bar..."

"Outsiders?" Lumian asked calmly.

Having already told the official Extraordinary about the madness through Franka and making up his mind to find an opportunity to "teleport" away later, his spirit was no longer as urgent as before, so he wanted to know more about the madness and find out before leaving.

Reasonable explanations for those contradictions.

This kind of behavior of collecting intelligence, analyzing problems, and finding clues and answers is one of the ways of playing a "conspirator". Lumian was idle and took this opportunity to digest some magic potion.

As for the possible contamination caused by understanding this matter, Lumian is not so worried: Can the information about madness be compared with the sealed information of "0-01"?

Moreover, as long as you don’t go crazy on the spot, you can still go to your boss afterwards to see if there is a solution!

Pierre thought for a few seconds in confusion and said: "It should be... I don't remember her name, and I don't know where she comes from. I only know that she suddenly went crazy and ran from the hotel upstairs to the bar.

, trying to bite people and barking like a dog."

Infected outsiders spread the madness to Dadel Town? Then why is there an abnormal phenomenon that the townspeople have not thought about escaping here? Is this also a manifestation of madness? Lumian asked thoughtfully

: "Did she bite someone, and what happened next?"

"We dealt with him before he could bite anyone else, caught him, and sent him to the Department of Health," Pierre recalled.

Sent to the Department of Health? Lumian nodded slowly: "The next person to go crazy will be someone from the Department of Health?"

"Yes, yes!" Pierre was very sure this time.

Lumian thought for a moment and then asked: "What does that resident look like?"

"A young woman, her face is a bit pale, she has no energy, and her eyes are not bright. I, I don't remember exactly what she looks like..." Pierre couldn't help but raise his palms and rub his head.

Hearing this, Lumian's heart suddenly moved: If the source of all the anomalies in Dadle Town is a real madman, then many contradictions can be explained!

The original source itself is also crazy, and will instinctively spread madness involving the supernatural level to the surroundings, so it will not consider whether it is a closed village or a prosperous town serving as a transportation hub.

At the same time, "she" will also subconsciously use this ability to spread extraordinary madness to imply that the townspeople cannot leave and control all channels that may spread this matter. However, because she is in a state of madness, she cannot consider it.

He was not careful enough and did not give the townspeople an order not to talk about madness to steam train passengers.

Of course, it may not be that he has not thought carefully enough. Lumian thinks that the greater possibility is that the madman's instinct would like to involve more people and make them infected with madness, so there is a situation where he is not allowed to know about this.

When people leave, they are not allowed to seek help from the authorities, but on the other hand, the townspeople are not prohibited from discussing the madness with passing tourists.

This is a limited and relatively safe method of transmission. Passengers who know the situation of madness are close to the source of the plague. Like in Lugano, there has been a change in fortune, which increases the possibility of contracting madness. Like

He and Lumian had forgotten the option of escaping before, and the more they communicated, the more they got into trouble, and they firmly decided to enter Dadle Town to investigate.

This is a precursor to contracting a mad disease, and a hint has been given unknowingly.

Thinking of this, Lumian suspected that the young woman might be a survivor of the village that had been wiped out before, a potential infected person who escaped the official cleanup operation.

She combined this memory with the madness and spread it, so that the townspeople of Dadel Town could know that a similar plague had occurred in a village and had been officially eliminated as a whole.

Normally, they are not qualified to understand such things, nor do they have the channels to understand them!

With his initial guess, Lumian looked at Pierre and the bartender and asked with a smile: "Where is the village you mentioned that was officially destroyed because of the madness?"

"It seems, it seems to be somewhere in the Alto Honakis province..." Pierre recalled the rumors he had heard.

Alto Honakis... This is a bit far away from the Alto Maritimes, and there is no direct steam train, so you have to go to several provinces on the west coast of the Sea or Trier... You guys have hardly done anything.

How did people who had left Dadel Town hear about that rumor? Was a certain bard or passenger from the Upper Honakis Province passing through this transportation hub? The more Lumian thought about it, the more inclined he was to the conjecture he just made.

He asked no more questions and said tentatively to Pierre: "This madness is of great research value. We will enter Dadel to investigate the source and try to cure you.

"But it takes a while to prepare, and it's night now.

"When daylight comes, we will enter Dadar and will not leave until the problem is solved."

Lumian repeatedly emphasized the two points of "I will enter Dadel" and "I will not leave for the time being" to test the reactions of Pierre and the bartender.

The expressions of the two changed a few times, and they were not as hysterical as before.

After a few seconds, Pierre said with a pleading look on his face: "You must come to town tomorrow!"

"No problem." Lumian smiled back.

He is now more certain that this is an instinctive contagion and influence, and there is no mechanism to cope with changes. As long as he does not touch the key points, or even actively provides cooperative information, he can effectively hide the source of the madness.

Seeing Pierre and the bartender about to go to the other window of the steam train, Lumian stopped them: "Wait a minute."

After the two of them turned their heads in shock, Lumian pointed to the table between the two sofas: "You can put away the tableware now."

Pierre and the bartender looked at the table with blank expressions and found a pile of empty plates, leaving only bones and other residue.

Are you done eating now? The person who delivered the food hasn’t left yet!

Although Pierre and the bartender knew that they had just stayed here for a longer period of time due to their madness, they still felt that this was unrealistic.

Isn’t this too fast to eat?

Is this raising three lions?

Hiccup... The little boy Ludwig picked up the tablecloth and wiped his mouth with a very satisfied expression.

After the two townspeople put away the tableware, picked up the food boxes, and left the platform, Lumian smiled at Lugano who was standing and said, "Take another look, there's no need to be in such a hurry."

I was in a hurry, how could I run away when the official Beyonder arrived? Lugano's heart felt like it was being burned on fire.

Lumian observed his reaction and muttered silently: He really acted like a wild Extraordinary with a low rank and little knowledge... He didn't show anything special like Ludsey... He was really an ordinary wild person.

Extraordinary, just accepted a mission to follow me?

At the same time, Lumian concentrated his attention and looked at Lugano's fortune again, and found that the traces of the greenish color had disappeared, and there was no bloody disaster.

This means that the "doctor" is no longer likely to be infected with madness, and he should not be involved in the official operation to deal with the anomalies in Dadle Town later.

After a while, Lumian heard a loud noise and saw the night outside suddenly getting brighter.

It was a light shining down from mid-air.

Lumian raised his eyes and discovered two huge objects floating in the dark night.

They were two airships painted in dark gray with their blades spinning crazily.

This one was much smaller than the one Lumian had seen in Trier, and the condensed light fell from a lower position in front of them, concentrating on the edge of Dadel Town.

At the same time, a large number of dogs barked again in the town, and there seemed to be movement everywhere.

Officials from the Foss area are here? Lumian looked back and waited for the results.

Shouts, shouts, gunshots and various lights represented by sunlight appeared from time to time and lasted for nearly an hour before they completely subsided.

Not long after, a team of police officers entered the box and asked Lumian and others, who had changed their appearance and were holding fake identification documents, about the details of their contact with the citizens of Dadel Town.

Lumian didn't say anything about madness, and told the truth about everything else.

He is always ready to "teleport" Ludwig and Lugano to escape.

After recording and comparing the ticket and identification, the police left the carriage.

Lumian waited patiently until dawn before the policemen returned and provided three contracts and asked them to sign.

The content of the contract is that last night's news came from the military's special operations, and everyone has a duty of confidentiality and cannot be leaked.

Does it count if I leaked it before I signed it? Lumian chuckled secretly and wrote down his pseudonym calmly.

His false identity has just been activated, and he has no occult connections yet.

When the police officers walked out of the carriage, Lumian, who deliberately experienced the official handling process for himself, planned to grab Lugano and Ludwig by the shoulders and "teleport" them away.

He was not sure whether the contract signed under a false name would be discovered, so he had to avoid the corresponding risks.

At this moment, Lumian saw a tall figure emerging from behind Lugano.

That was his messenger, with a little black flame burning on his body and a charred corpse-like "Confessor" Bayinfer wearing dark clergy robes."

Bayinfer let a folded letter float towards Lumian.

Lugano was shocked to find a piece of paper popping out. When he subconsciously looked behind him, Lumian opened the letter and scanned the content: "According to the feedback I received, this should be an escape incident of a sealed object."

"The sealed object takes the shape of a young woman. She first appeared in a disaster in the Upper Honakis Province. She is in a normal state most of the time, but she looks listless, pale and muddy. But once she enters a crazy state, she will be

People around her are gradually infected with the same mad disease as her, with no definite pattern of spread."

"Her state may not be the same every time she goes mad, and the same is true for the symptoms of madness.

"Although in her normal state she is like an unintelligent ghost and relies on instinct to act, she has the power of a speaking spirit. Whoever dies will die..."
