"I have a question to ask you." Crow looked at Ronnie and said to him calmly.
Ronnie opened his mouth and then said to the two of them, "I'll take you to the living room."
The three of them came to the living room. There were some snacks and tea on the coffee table. Ronnie, who had just sat down, couldn't help but ask: "My father, is he infected..."
"Black Death? I think my answer is, yes, he was indeed infected with the Black Death." Esther said it directly without any intention of taking care of Ronnie's mood.
Ronnie's expression darkened, and he asked hurriedly: "Then will my father be okay?"
Crow said at this time: "Don't worry, your father has not been infected for a long time. After I treat him, he can rest for a while."
Hearing this, Ronnie truly breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at the two of them and said, "Whatever you want to ask, as long as I know it, I will definitely answer it."
The questions Crow asked were very simple. They were nothing more than about what Ronnie's father had been exposed to something similar to a source of infection recently, or who he had come into contact with. Ronnie could answer these questions quickly.
It's just that Ronnie's answer didn't give them many clues. Ronnie's father had been normal in the past few days. He was working in the bakery as always, his life was very regular, and he only came into contact with some people in the village.
The only outsiders I had contact with were probably the people from the Rat Exterminator Team a few days ago.
"Rat team?" Suddenly, the crow seemed to have captured some information.
"What, what did you find?" Esther asked doubtfully.
I Saw Crow said: "Mr. Wood, he was also infected with the Black Death after the rat removal team came. Now Ronnie's father is also the same. What a coincidence."
Ronnie said: "Could it be those guys from the Rat Exterminators? Why would they do that?"
Esther waved his hand and asked Ronnie to calm down first. It was not yet certain that all this was done by the Rat Exterminators. Then he said: "Ronnie, do you have the phone numbers of the Rat Exterminators?"
"Yes." Ronnie nodded heavily, took out a thick phone book from under the table, and turned it to the page that recorded the phone calls of the Rat Exterminator team.
Ronnie pointed to one of the numbers and said, "That's it. Do you want me to call them over? They must have a problem!"
"Don't worry yet." Crow stopped Ronnie's impulse and said: "Take me to see where the rat removal team worked before. If it was really what they did, I think there should be something left there."
Later, Ronnie took Esther and Crow to his warehouse. In a room next to the warehouse, the grain harvested this season was piled. The door was locked tightly with a chain, and the inside could not be seen, while the other side of the granary was
On one side, there is a chicken coop. Dozens of hens can be seen pecking at the rice outside. They are not afraid when people come and continue pecking at the rice.
Ronnie took out the key and opened the granary. He saw that it was full of mouse traps and sticky boards, and he could also see a few dead mice from above.
"Although we have already eliminated rats once, it seems like there is no end to the killing of these rats. There will always be new ones popping up." Ronnie also had a headache looking at these dead rats.
Rats reproduce much faster than humans. A litter can give birth to more than a dozen pups. If they cannot be dealt with at once, new rats will appear soon.
The food stored at home has almost been destroyed by these rats. I don’t know what happened this year, but the rat plague has been so serious.
The crow walked up to a mouse that should have just died, and without hesitation, he twisted the mouse with his hands and monitored it. The plague of the Black Death also relies on animals to spread, and rats are one of them. Modern people refer to the Black Death as
Consider it a type of plague.
"These mice carry viruses. Your father must have been infected while handling these dead mice," Crow said.
"Are these mice?" Ronnie had a surprised expression on his face, "If so, is my father's infection just an accident?"
"Of course it's not that simple." Esther took a step forward and released magic to wipe out all the dead rats on the ground. "Ordinary rats will not be infected with the Black Death."
"These rats are artificially controlled. Someone is raising these rats infected with the Black Death." Esther dripped a few drops of blood from his hand and fell to the ground.
"What are you going to do?" Crow asked.
Esther replied matter-of-factly: "That's needless to say. Of course we need to find that guy. Since he raised a group of rats infected with the Black Death, just follow the traces and find him out."
The blood dripping on the ground turned into a mouse. This was Esder's little familiar. It was quite different from the little bat that Lilina carried. The one on Lilina was his clone.
The little mouse stood up on its feet, sniffed the open space in front of it, and then ran outside under Esther's order.
"Follow the traces and it's only a matter of time before we find it." Esther said.
However, during the waiting time, Esther and the others were not going to sit still. They still needed to figure out how to catch the guy who controlled the rats after they found him.
If you know yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles. Only by understanding the other party can you be foolproof. The Black Death must not be leaked. You must find a way to wipe out him and his rat pack.
"Crow, you have been in the outside world longer than me. Do you know which demons or humans can control the rats?" Esther asked.
After thinking for a while, Crow said: "Among the demons, only the Rat King can control the rats, but the Rat King is larger in size, which is inconsistent with the character Pani's father said."
"So, it could be humans or other humanoid creatures." Esther said.
"In this case, why does infection always occur after the rat removal team comes? Is it for revenge?" This is not yet known.
Just from the first infection, it has been confirmed that this guy who controls the rats will not be a good person. However, if it was out of revenge, then why did he kill Pani in the first place? You must know that before Pani's home
But no rat extermination team was invited.
No matter what, let's find a way to catch the cloaked man first.
Esther has also made two preparations. He will sit back and wait tonight. If the cloaked man does not show up, he will rely on his familiar to find his lair.
Tonight, Crow and Esther decided to spend the night at Ronnie's place. If the other party infected Ronnie's father out of revenge, then he would definitely come back after knowing that Ronnie's father was not dead. By then,
This is also an opportunity for Esther and the others.
At the same time, Esther's familiar, who was wandering in the fields, finally encountered a mouse carrying the Black Death Virus, and this mouse was eating the unattended crops of Pani's family.
