In the world of death, time flows. Compared with the stable and slow development before, the changes that have taken place now can be said to be huge.
The Foundation has reinstated the Plague Doctor, but compared to the word containment, suppression should be more accurate.
The Plague Doctor's laboratory serves as a shelter and is manned 24 hours a day by a task force, except for select researchers who speak to the Plague Doctor via the in-lab communications device.
Others are not allowed to be in close proximity or to talk through communication devices.
The reason why the word "specific" is added in front of the researchers who can talk to the plague doctor is because the plague doctor is almost out of control.
Most people were infected with a plague he could understand.
Anyone who is deemed to be infected with the plague will become extremely irritable no matter how he comes into contact with the plague doctor, and his eyes under the mask will become blood red.
There was simply no way to communicate effectively, something that became increasingly apparent as time went on.
What became more obvious was that the plague was quietly blooming everywhere.
From the beginning, not many people cared about it, but now it has become a big problem.
This requires researchers from the Foundation to combine the changes in plague in the world with the out-of-control situation of the plague doctor.
Although there may not necessarily be an inevitable connection, there will definitely be an indirect relationship.
On top of a crystal that was polished as smooth as a mirror.
There was no reflection reflected on it, but a messy room and the corpse in it.
Several specific researchers were standing around. This was a monitoring-like magic technology made from dimension stones and the use of magic energy.
The scene in it is naturally the research room that temporarily houses the plague doctor.
About five or six minutes passed as several researchers waited nervously.
There was a rustling noise coming from the screen, followed by a burst of slow and chaotic footsteps.
A man wearing a leather jacket and a beak mask walked into the room from the outside first and appeared within the scope of the magic energy monitoring screen.
Without waiting for the nervous researchers to speak first, the plague doctor spoke to himself:
"Let me tell you, doctors, is it really good to communicate academically in this way?"
"Why don't you let me out? The situation is really urgent now. The plague has begun to spread."
"I think you also need my help. After all, you don't want to be infected by the plague, right?"
"Maybe we can develop an antidote? At least I can perform a minor surgery on the infected to help them end the plague."
"Look, I have so many successful cases here."
As the words fell, more than ten human beings who looked like walking corpses walked in from the door of the back room one after another.
His body was covered in blood and his expression was dull. He looked more like a body without a soul than a human being.
This is the state of healing after the operation performed by the plague doctor, but only he thinks this is called a cure.
The researchers outside the surveillance screen naturally knew that there was no difference between this and death.
A researcher couldn't wait to interrupt at this time: "Stop talking about this, we all know that this is not really an effective way to cure the plague."
"Tell us directly, what is happening with the plague now, how do you know it has spread, and what is this plague related to?"
The plague doctor bent over slightly. Although the expression on his face could not be seen, it was still possible to tell from his body movements that he looked helpless or speechless.
"I've told you before, this plague is related to this world, and this world has been polluted."
"Now the plague has spread further, right? Even if I stay here, I can smell the dirty and filthy plague smell wafting outside."
"If you don't let me out for research, and you want to end this plague, then maybe you can start by destroying the world."
After saying that, the plague doctor no longer stood there, but took out a scalpel from his waist, walked to the corpse in the corner and started busy with his own business.
The researchers outside were anxious: "Plague Doctor, if you don't plan to tell more information, it is absolutely impossible to get out from there!"
The plague doctor ignored them and cut something off the corpse before leaving the room.
"Fuck! It's similar rhetoric again, and he won't reveal anything!"
One researcher punched the air in displeasure.
They began to try to contact the plague doctor after the plague began to show obvious signs of spreading.
But no useful information was obtained every time, and now that the situation of the spread of the plague is becoming more and more serious, their place has become a very important breakthrough.
"Could he really not know?"
"How is this possible! There must be something wrong with him, or else it has something to do with the legendary abomination."
When the word "hatred" was mentioned, all the researchers fell silent. Hatred is not an ordinary existence.
"As mentioned above, this is uncertain. According to records, hatred has existed since the early days of our city's establishment, but why is the plague breaking out now?"
"Even those lunatics who believe in hatred don't believe that this is caused by hatred."
"Would that... be a more terrifying existence than hatred?"
Everyone was silent again, this world was so unknown to them.
The city was created with the purpose of exploring the truth of this world, but so far there has not been much progress.
In the course of history, many major events have occurred, which have made their living environment even worse. Among them, there have also been the emergence of new and unknown entities that have not been seen before and have not been recorded.
Therefore, this situation cannot be ruled out...
Not only are they looking for a breakthrough from the plague doctor, but the investigators and the potion masters in the church are also looking for it.
"Hey, if the plague continues to worsen like this and there is no other breakthrough... we can only follow the instructions from the top and release the plague doctor."
…
The city and streets are no longer bustling, with only a few pedestrians passing by in a hurry, and they all wear masks on their faces.
A pair of eyes looked out from the glass of the houses on both sides, and a city guard car drove over.
"Attention all residents, if you find anyone infected with the plague, report it immediately."
"Attention all residents, if you find anyone infected with the plague, report it immediately."
The people on the vehicle were shouting loudly with loudspeakers.
Compared with big cities that still have prevention and control measures, remote towns have become hotbeds of the plague.
