"The Vampire Baroness?" Sheriff Hans thought for a while and said, "Are you referring to the horror story circulating in the west of the Old World?"
"No, it's not that. Of course, there is a connection between them." Lawrence paused, and then slowly said what he remembered from the pile of books collected by his adoptive father.
Whether from the perspective of his own heart or profit, he hoped that the police could quickly get rid of this evil thing. So he shared all the information he knew about the scene in front of him with Chief Hans. "This
In fact, it was originally a simple prayer method derived from shamanism, used to pray for one's own health."
"At the beginning, participants only need to place some red rose petals in a circle around themselves and then pray silently. There is a very small possibility that these people will be favored by some natural spirits and their bodies will become more healthy.
Be healthier."
"But later, some people twisted this method. They chose to use blood and life as sacrifices. They communicated with the filthy existences in the lower space to increase their own lives."
"And this evil sacrificial ritual was named Vampire Baroness because it was related to blood and life. When the White Eagle Federation was not established two or three hundred years ago, this kind of ritual was very popular in the New World for a while.
Evil magic. Especially the slave owners who run plantations in the South. However, with the establishment of the White Eagle Federation and the establishment of order on this land, this evil magic has been combated by major churches and demon hunters.
Slowly disappearing from this land."
"On the other hand, those evil beings in the lower space are not kind people. Using their power after blood sacrifice can indeed restore life, even if the person is dying. But as long as the person is exposed to this kind of sacrifice, he will definitely pay a heavy price."
"A person who uses this kind of magic will continue to need more flesh and blood in the future to maintain his cursed half of life, until his soul falls into the lower space. In addition, his body will also
It will gradually become demonized and finally filled with an evil soul."
"According to the records I saw before, because this kind of magic is too evil and easy to be discovered. It also has very serious sequelae, so it was quickly lost after the White Eagle Federation decided to crack down on it."
"Are you sure it was lost?" Chief Hans frowned.
"At least that's what the records of the Church of Knowledge say. The most recent blood sacrifice discovered was recorded more than 70 years ago." Lawrence said after recalling the information he had read. When he took over this body before,
, he found that he could recall all the information he had read in two lifetimes. Among them were files about this kind of sacrifice.
"The records of the Church of Knowledge? That's more reliable." Sheriff Hans nodded. He knew from his youngest son that Lawrence grew up in the Church of Knowledge, so he trusted the information provided by Lawrence.
After writing some words in the notebook to complete the previous record, Chief Hans put away the notebook and stood up. Then he said to Lawrence: "By the way, if you are free tomorrow, come to my house for dinner. In fact, before
After Edward became a policeman, he invited friends to have a party, but obviously you did not receive the invitation, and he seemed a little depressed because of this."
"That's because I had some things to deal with at the Church of Knowledge a while ago. That matter was a bit dangerous, so in order to avoid involving my friends, I chose to secretly move out of my original residence."
"What is it?" Frank showed a concerned expression. "Do you still need my help? You know that I have worked in the police station here for so many years and I have met some very powerful people."
"This matter is related to the last attack on me and Edward. It involved a conspiracy. Fortunately, with the cooperation of the Church of the Dawn, the Church of the Holy Light and the Demon Hunter, the problem was completely solved."
"That's good." Frank breathed a sigh of relief. "I sent people to investigate at that time, but nothing was found, and the investigators also encountered some strange things.
"Later I told this matter to the witcher who cooperated most with our police station. As a result, the witcher brother and sister were injured because of this matter. Fortunately, they specially found someone to send us a message and tell us what happened.
And solved.”
Afterwards, the two of them exchanged a few pleasantries and waved goodbye, and Lawrence also promised to visit him at dinner tomorrow.
After leaving the scene of the crime, Lawrence visited Dr. Lister as planned. Because Lister was not involved in the previous conspiracy, he left the construction site as usual the next day and returned to his clinic to continue working.
When he walked into the room where Liszt was under the guidance of the nurse, he found that Liszt's hair was messy and his face had thick dark circles, but he was in a very excited state.
"Quick, look at my records." As soon as Lawrence entered the laboratory door, Liszt thrust a thick notebook into him. Just as he started to look through the records in the notebook, Liszt was chattering beside him.
He began to talk about his experiences in the past few days.
"This is simply a miracle. I used carbolic acid to disinfect the room as you said before, used an autoclave to disinfect surgical equipment and bedding, and used alcohol to disinfect myself. As a result, none of the patients I operated on these days showed symptoms like before.
Severe infection."
"This is simply great!" Lawrence showed a happy expression. Using the knowledge he possesses to save innocent lives is something that makes him very happy, not to mention that this paper will bring him a lot of tangible and intangible benefits.
benefit.
"Yes, it's great." Liszt also smiled, but soon the corners of his mouth dropped again. "But the problem is that I found that our paper has a very big loophole."
"What is the loophole?" Lawrence asked puzzledly. "Can't our practice explain our theory?"
"Practice can illustrate the importance of disinfection, but there is no evidence for the so-called pathogenic microorganisms we proposed." Lister spread his hands and showed a helpless expression. "Because I really can't find the pathogenic microorganisms."
"This shouldn't be the case." After hearing what he said, Lawrence also frowned, "I see you clearly have a microscope here. As a doctor, you should be able to find those infected wounds and take samples."
"Of course I took a sample." As he spoke, Lister took Lawrence to the microscope and then took out a petri dish. "I can confirm that there are microorganisms that can infect people in this petri dish, and I also did experiments on a few rabbits.
But I still can't see them."
"Let me see." Lawrence put his eyes close to the microscope eyepiece and looked at the slide he had just made. The microscope at this time was almost the same as the microscope Lawrence had seen in his previous life, especially Liszt's.
With the participation of extraordinary people in the production, it can be magnified 1500 times, and the microorganisms that cause infection can theoretically be seen.
"This is -" After placing the petri dish under the objective lens, Lawrence finally discovered something was wrong: the deviation between these microorganisms and the surrounding environment was so small that they could not be seen with the naked eye even through a microscope.
"I think we should find a way to dye it." Recalling the photos of bacteria he saw in his previous life, Lawrence made his own suggestion.
