"Although I don't understand medicine, I know that developing medicine is not that simple."
"We need to have a large number of experimental subjects, conduct experiments bit by bit, and try out medicines with sufficient efficacy bit by bit."
"Where did you find so many people infected with the immortal poison for you to experiment on on this island?"
"How did you make a medicine that can suppress immortal poison without enough experimental subjects?"
"What's more, when I visited your pharmacy, I didn't find any container containing 'immortal poison' or blood infected with 'immortal poison'."
"You keep saying that you are researching medicine that can suppress the 'immortal poison', but there is not a single container in your pharmacy that contains the 'immortal poison'. This cannot be justified no matter how you say it, right?"
"The medicine that can suppress the immortal poison was not made by you at all, but was given to you by someone else, right?"
At this point, not only Ogata, but also Amachi, Mamiya and others all cast wary and unkind glances at Sokai.
As for Matsumoto, who was standing next to Zong Hai, he quietly moved away from Zong Hai at this time.
"Everyone has misunderstood!"
While everyone was waiting for Zonghai to speak, Xianhai suddenly shouted, opened his arms, and stood between Ogata and Zonghai.
"Master Zonghai did hide some things from everyone because of some difficulties!" Xianhai said anxiously, "But Master Zonghai is not a bad person!"
"Whether he is a bad person or not, we can wait until Zonghai makes it clear to everyone what he originally concealed." Ogata said softly.
"...Xianhai, please get out of the way." Zong Hai sighed, and then said with a wry smile, "It seems that luck is really bad..."
"The young monk thought that what you said to me by the well yesterday was actually to fool the young monk and trick him..."
"I didn't expect you to find out that Xiao Monk had concealed a lot of things..."
"Zonghai..." Amachi hesitated, "Could you be...the one who caused the islanders on this island to turn into cannibals?"
"No." Zong Hai quickly shook his head, "The culprit is not the little monk."
"The young monk only knows that everyone will turn into cannibals, and it has something to do with the water of the Linong River. As for why the change happened, the young monk doesn't know."
"Dear donors, the young monk will now tell you all the things that were originally hidden..."
"About...2 years ago, two doctors came here who should be from Kyoto."
"According to them, these two doctors are master and apprentice, and they speak with Kyoto accents."
"That master calls himself Heshi."
"The disciple calls himself Hezhi."
"The master and apprentice said they planned to move here and devote themselves to the study of medicine while providing medical treatment to the islanders."
"They set up their home next to our Tenmanji Temple."
"They go out to practice medicine during the day and come home to rest at night."
"We don't have much friendship with this pair of masters and disciples. The only friendship we have with them is that their daily water comes from the well of our Tenmanji Temple."
“After all, it’s just some water, and they pay us ‘water rent’ every day, so we let them freely use the water from our Tenmanji Temple.”
"However... not long after the master and apprentice moved here, they left the island in a hurry."
"When they left the island, they burned the wooden house they originally built with a fire."
"On the eve of leaving this island, the apprentice of this master-disciple pair, Hezhi, came to see the young monk specifically."
"I gave the young monk two pills and told him: 'These two pills can suppress very toxic poisons. If someone is poisoned by a very strong poison, let him take it. That person might be saved.'
"
Hearing this, Ogata raised his eyebrows: "Those two pills are...?"
"That's right, those are the two medicines that can suppress the 'immortal poison'." Zong Hai smiled bitterly, "Donor, as you just said, this medicine was not made by the monk, but He Zhi gave it to the monk
of."
"While giving these two pills to the young monk, I also warned him that from now on, you can use the water of Linong River to wash your hands, face, bathe, and wash clothes. It can be used for everything, but it cannot be used.
Come and drink.”
"After warning the young monk, he followed his master and left the island."
"The young monk didn't pay attention at the time. He just thought he disliked the water in Linong River for not being so clean, so after the master and apprentice left the island, the young monk forgot about what He Zhi said to me.
I didn’t tell my mentor about this.”
"Not long after...the first cannibal appeared on this island..."
"It wasn't until the cannibal ghost appeared that the young monk realized the intention of what He Zhi said to the young monk..."
"That pair of master and disciple... must be the culprits who turned the islanders into cannibals..."
"Since you knew there was a problem with the Linong River a long time ago, why didn't you tell the other islanders about it?" Ating said urgently.
"Female donor... do you know what will happen if you tell other islanders that there is a problem with the water in the Linon River?"
The bitterness on Zong Hai's face was extremely strong.
"On this island, there is only one river, the Linon River."
"If this river cannot be used, the only place with usable water source is... here."
Zong Hai pointed to the ground.
"At that time, all the islanders will flock here. In this case, it will..."
"It will affect your life at Tenmanji Temple." Makimura, who had been silent since just now, answered expressionlessly, "Because I was worried that my life and my teacher's life would be affected, so I decided to hide it.
I have learned the truth. Am I right?"
"...You are right." Zong Hai slowly closed his eyes, "I not only hid it from the other islanders, but also from my mentor...just because of my selfishness..."
"Wazuo... Kazuo..." Atachi chewed on the names of these two people, "Zonghai, do you remember the faces of these two people?"
"The young monk only remembers that their looks are very ordinary, there is nothing special about them. And even if the young monk remembers it, it is useless. The young monk cannot draw, so he cannot draw the looks of those two people for you."
"The biggest characteristic of the two of them is probably that they have a very pure Kyoto accent."
Speaking of this, Zong Hai paused.
After a moment of silence, he let out a long sigh and then continued:
"The reason why the young monk hid these things from the donors is because he really didn't know how to speak... so he planned to get away with it..."
"Xiao Monk has really told everyone all the known things now. This time, he really didn't hold anything back."
"Alright...donors..."
Although Zonghai said "everyone", his eyes were fixed on Ogata from beginning to end.
"The young monk will neither run away nor avoid. How you want to punish the young monk is up to you."
